Honeycomb music players app

Has anyone got this new leaked honeycomb music players app to work on their Galaxy S?
Im running stock 2.3.3 and for some reason it keeps force closing on me.
Meant to look more like the tablet honeycomb music player with the album art flow.
Have frozen stock music player using titanium backup before installing.
Ive attached the app below if anyone else wants to give it a try.

Music Widget for stock player with album art

Hi, I'm searching a music widget for the nexus which works with the standard music player and can show album art.
Pure Music Widget unfortunately doesn't (yet), searching several threads and the market didn't help.
Thanks for some tips.
A

bumo in case anyone else know- i am pretty sure there used to be one... need to remember it... anyone?
****edit**** Phantom music control used to work- https://market.android.com/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget&feature=search_result not sure if it still does.

The widgets that come with the iSyncr app work with the Google Music app and can show album art. Only issue I've noticed is that the widgets seem to be sensitive to how the album art picture is actually attached/embedded in the music file. Most of my MP3s show the album art just fine but there are several that have album art and the iSyncr widgets can't show the album art for some reason.
These are the only widgets I could find that work fairly well with the Google Music app. I tried several others but none of them worked as well as the iSyncr ones. (And it was luck that I discovered these because I use iSyncr to sync playlists from iTunes to my Galaxy Nexus, so the widgets were already on my phone).
Would be awesome if the Pure Music dev could get his Pure Music widget to work with Google Music but he's posted that he can't do it until Google releases the necessary APIs, so that may not ever happen.

Just found out tonight that Pure Music Widget got an update (almost 2 weeks ago, now) that makes it compatible with ICS/Google Music app.
Very good news, IMHO!

but still it dont work with google music cloud service. I cant find any widget that works with the cloud album art.....

Yes, and I'm sorry to say that this situation is unlikely to change. Everything I've read since the Google Music service started has indicated that this is Google's fault; they haven't released the API for the Google Music service and this prevents devs from being able to add in this functionality.
So it's Google's fault, not the devs of the various Android music apps.

Try a different Music Player
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/17/cyanogenmod-9-music-player-released-for-download/#more-58688
this is the cyanogenmod 9 music player and well, it is still in beta.
However, it's very much like the actual Google Music app, but I think that this one is slightly better. The 4x2 widget for this app also shows the album art as well.

+1 this.
all the widgets, 4x1, 4x2, 3x1, and even 1x1 have album art. CM9 Music is a really nice improvement on the stock music app. if you are into the transparent look, you can also get a version with transparent widgets over in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21843241#post21843241

You need to search before posting these questions this has been answered many times sense apps and widgets don't work on non sense roms. Search around there are lots of music apps around.

I think that doubleTwist is a really good music player - it can also be controlled from lockscreen
Give it a try

Another good player is PlayerPro, in cooperation with isyncr you can sync your iTunes music library!

i am tottaly in love with zplayer. it looks sooo slick.
there is also a new Cyanogenmod music app which looks terrific. Check that out

I totally recommend cm9 music player butnyou would need to have a ics rom which I also recommend. There is a little glitch on the camera but no big deal.

Google Play Music on 4.2.1

I have a problem with Google Play Music app. When I'm listening music and go to home or any other app and I come back to the music app it doesn't show the album picture nor the minute of the playing song.
Also sometimes it also stops playing music and the lockscreen widget starts blinking

I have this issue too but it doesn't bother me as much. For the alb um cover simply hit the back button and you're good to go. For the lockscreen flashing, turn off the display and turn it back on.

Yes, these issues are easily solved unlocking the device and that's all. But I think is something related with 4.2.1, I don't remember these issues with 4.1.2..

Am I the only one that sees glitches EVERYWHERE in the Google Play Music app? For an example, clicking on the Search button, the search icon stays at he same place, when the second search icon reaches the left side of the search area, the right search icon then disappears. did I mention how laggy the animation is?
Clicking on the Thumbs up button has like 2 FPS animation.
Navigating the lists, for an example from albums to playlists is glitchy.
Browsing somewhere then clicking on a song to play it basically is so glitchy and slow that it hurts my eyes.

I didn't notice the issue with the search icon before, but now I've seen it lol. The app in general is extremely laggy even here on Gnex. I don't have to mention how it was in my previous Xperia Neo...

I'm experiencing the same since 4.2.1, music stops randomly (not only on google music, poweramp and musicxmatch also) and the lockscreen widgets blinks

There are so many small things in the Google Play music, that it makes me believe that Google doesn't even use it themselves. Like Mark Zuckerberg forced his employees to use their Android app to realize how bad it was.
How the heck can a music player (which isn't a rocket science like simulation or an emulator or a game like Shadowgun) to lag in the UI? Every single animation in the app is laggy. Literally. Please, i dare you to find somewhere in the app that isn't glitchy. If I worked at Google, I couldn't sleep at night because I have shipped this app in this state to the Play store.
Did I mention the UI and the background? What's up with that blueish thingy that is the wallpaper. Looks so amateurish.
Also did I mention the fade in animation when you scroll down or up in lists like Recent or albums? Why put this transition effect even if it severely downgrades the performance? Just try to scroll when you have a lot of music. A nightmare.
I have started to realize that Google is treating us Nexus owners like labrats. Sad truth.
Just look at the Android 4.2 update. Not a word from Google about all these problems, that probably affected all the Galaxy nexus owners. Not a single word to Google's most loyal customers.

The truth is that 4.2 came with several new things but is not optimized and is very laggy. I had to flash CM10.1 because the stock rom wich always worked smoothly started freezing suddenly. It came to the point when something so simple like writting with the keyboard froze the phone for a while.
The best version i've seen on our phones is the 4.1.2 and i doubt Google will make it better.

It happens to me too. Have you installed custom music player like cm9 music player or apollo music player?

It happened to me on stock 4.2.1 and now also on CM 10.1 (wich includes Apollo)

I get those same issues when I use CM9 Music player and I don't mean the apollo.
So that's why I use all the time CM9 music player..
If you delete every custom music player including apollo player and then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then Google play music player will work without any issues..

I am not seeing any issues with the google Music app other than what the OP is describing. mine doesn't lag when scrolling long lists or loading album art. i was scrolling as fast as possible and the album art was keeping right up with me. also no slow/buggy animations anywhere. maybe your app needs the data cleared or something?
as for the blue background.....yes, this needs to be updated for sure. the music app needs to be re-done ASAP to the more holo style....google themselves provided guidelines for designing apps, why not use them on their own apps?

Could you please record your phone and showing off Google Music? I want to know how your animations are.

Do we know if this is a problem with CM specifically or simply the GMusic app being buggy? I have significant issues on my Gnex with Google Play Music, lots of freezing, problems with widgets not responding, and even flickering on the lock screen.

[Q] google play music player

album art loads sometimes without any problem sometime i have to click the like icon on the player then the album art comes up.
Dont know weather this is aknown bug or only with me?

This may be unrelated entirely, but when I installed the MusicBox mod this morning, Google Play Music started having issues...but it was force closing, not having album art issues. Like I said, may be unrelated (and probably is) but thought I'd let you know if you have installed MusicBox recently.

Try using PowerAmp or the stock music player.
Musicbox wont work with PA but u can enable beats.
Anyway try some AOSP Rom if u want to play with Enhancers.

Well, the only reason that I have been sticking with Google Play Music is because I have all of my music online (and can manage it online), so I do not have to take up valuable storage room on my SD Card with music files. Is there another music player out there that will utilize my collection on Play Music other than Google's?
