If you use doubeTwist music player and have a Galaxy S III you may be experiencing app crashes, lockscreen control problems, and status bar problems. I noticed in the app review in the Google Play market there were quite a few S3 users experiencing the same problems I was having and thus decided to share the new Beta build that was sent to me.
Upon contacting doubleTwist they sent me the following .apk for the Beta build. So far everything is working very smoothly and no problems.
1. Uninstall current version of doubleTwist (if you already have the player installed).
2. Download the following .apk file
http://beta.doubletwist.com/dT-android-opt_2012-08-07-1358_r15719.apk
3. Make sure that you have "Allow installation of non-Market applications" enabled in "Android Settings > Applications".
4. Use the My Files app or any file manager app to open the file. (It will most likely be stored in sdcard > Downloads).
5. Follow the steps after you open it and install.
Very easy to do and working much, much better on my Samsung Galaxy S III. I prefer the doubleTwist player over the default stock music player because of the UI and ease of use.

mmm, look -- this COULD be great, and for sure dT is crashing a lot on my S3-- but I'd feel better about loading it onto my device if there were a link I could follow back to the company itself. Could they provide that for us?

Hmm. I, personally, cannot provide a link back to the company as it was sent to me from their doubleTwist support team to my personal email with the .apk link. However, I'm sure if you sent an email to [email protected] asking for the latest Beta Build for the Galaxy S3 I'm sure they would provide you with what you are looking for. They sent me the link just for complaining about the crashes and lack of functionality.
However, I am considering moving to PowerAmp. Downloaded the free trial for now and evaluating. I like the widget options over doubleTwist. With the S3 I want to fill my screen as I use Apex Launcher and a 6 row by 4 column setup. Being limited to only having a 2 row by 4 column widget is frustrating. Maybe when doubleTwist offers the newest version through the market and I download a Beats Audio eq on my S3 I'll switch back.

Adobe have stated that after this date flash will not be downloadable from the play store for devices that ARE NOT natively supported (meaning it doesn't have a plugin libs in /system/lib/plugins/ in the unedited stock rom).
Those that are, flash will still downloadable through the market (though no longer updated).
Flash already installed on devices will continute to operate and will not magically shut off after this date.

Just download an APK of it and manually install it in future if it's needed that badly.

Who needs flash? I'm not using and the only difference between having flash player installed or not is the amount of advertisements you see on a webpage. As long as you don't player flash games through your browser there won't be any need for it.

Lucky you, there are several websites that don't have an optmized mobile page/html 5, and all info / website is in flash... I'm more than happy to be able to navigate in such sites, even if it is clumsy, unoptmized, laggy... At least I can see the info I need whenever I need, even if not perfect...
While most people won't hit such web sites often, it is possible, specially whenever you are on the road, have the phone with you, and the info you need is in that god damned flash page... I just can't remember how many times my sister called me telling she was en route to some place, trying to get info from another place, and couldn't because the page won't load on her phone, asking me to check the information for her.... :victory: I probably could live without flash, I probably could also live without a smartphone and not checking the web while on the streets, but, if I can do that and that saves me precisous time, I'm more than willing to not part with Flash Player... I just use it with plugins on-demand setting and that work very fine for me.
I recently bought a Nexus 7, which doesn't come with the Android browser, only Chrome which doesn't run Flash. I uploaded the Flash player that was installed my Galaxy Nexus phone to Dropbox, then installed it on my Nexus 7. Several 3rd party browsers can run Flash on the Nexus 7, I choose Firefox. Now I can still run Flash infested sites even though Android 4.1.1 wasn't supposed to have it. This gives me hope that Flash will continue to be available on our GNex as well.
Flash works fine on a Stock (OTA updated from ICS) gnexus running JB 4.1.1 if you sideload the apk, it has the same old flash problems (buggy in places, bit of a cpu hog) but it works.
Basically that adobe link says that they will flip the switch and only allow people who have it installed, to get updates, nothing about deleting it from your phone
tl;dr sideload it until it breaks due to changes in android.
Flash is needed for the bbc iplayer apps.
Just checked on my 2nd GN (stock jb 4.1.1) and the adobe flash app and bbc iplayer is not showing in the store. Though it is installed and working fine on my main GN which is identical but i had flash and iplayer installed before i updated to jb.
Neither are available for my nexus 7.

I'm pretty sure the BBC have HTML5 streams for iOS devices, they just need to pull their thumbs out and update the app

Is there an app 'compatibility matrix' (I just mean a list of apps that became incompatible from ICS to JB) that details which apps no longer work (until or unless updated by the author) after the switch to JB?
I'd like to see a list to see if there's any 'show-stoppers' before I install JB. Maybe other's would as well.
I guess I'm not unhappy with ICS on the Nexus yet but if I were to see that I weren't about to lose something important , then the few benefits that JB brings would really be much more appealing.
Please note in this thread any apps you've found to be broken (JB) in this thread.
Much appreciated.
SO FAR: As contributed by Efrant: The only two apps that I noticed that don't work properly in JB are CallRecorder and LBE Privacy Guard.
By me: My only experience with this so far was that one of the first I tried didn't work correctly: cifsmanager. Workaround: use terminal emulator or script manager and write a script that does this: #mount -t cifs -o username=username,password=password,domain={domain or workgroup) /./ip addr or resolved name/shareName /localtonexusdirectory_sdcard/mountdir, and that command works fine, doesn't have bad interactions with other apps, and is easily run from an init.d script. To dismount just do umount /sdcard/mountdir. (plug in your relevant values of course)
In Handcent SMS, trying to have Text to Speech read a text merely opens up the TTS Settings control panel. Otherwise, the app works great.
Using cm10 I cannot get Google now/voice search to send a text via Google voice. Native app works fine though. I also cannot get Google voice to be the default SMS app when rejecting a call.

If any of you have found any workarounds for your app in JB problems, please post them as well. Thanks again. Any of you having camera/video problems with the baked in app or have you found a ROM that just doesn't have those problems.
The only thing stopping me from switching to JB is LBE Privacy Guard/PDroid.
I guess these are such individual needs that the 'showstoppers' for each of us are all different. Thanks for helping make a list and make me aware of some of the apps that don't work.

Volume + is not working :/
I finally started using the Eclipse ROM which is great, so now I pretty much know which of my apps (from the earlier list) don't work.
As a general rule (with exceptions), a few 3d games don't work. This is the work category that needs updates to JB.
4G Toggle doesn't work.
An app I used to control volume/notifications separately. (Think it was called notify).
Wireless tether and wired tether are built in to this ROM so not important about the apps at this point.
I had some root apps that no longer work: Gscript Lite and alogcat.
I'll have to look at the rest of them. I'd say 95% work, and the others are up in the air or just don't do what they should.
GTA3 on AOKP and AOSKP by Euroskank
HBO GO. They just haven't updated their app for JB yet.
Game Dev Story - give Data Error 3 when I attempt to launch it
Pocket League Story - severely offset text (known issue for kairosoft games on JB - no support email for Kairosoft)
DroidEmu/DroidEmuLite - doesn't open NES, SNES, GBC roms (didn't test GameGear or Genesis). GBA works. Dev not sure of problem yet, Android logs don't show any problems with the app

It works partially, you just need to stop swiping notificactions or Light Flow would stop working
Here's one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned yet:
aLogCat doesn't work since JB took away permissions for non-system apps to read the logs. Workaround: move it to /system/app/
Boot Manager
Boot Manager not working on stock JB
Anybody less than enchanted by Chrome in its current state? Well, now that the Nexus 4 has been rooted you can install AOSP browser, which is lovely and smooth The apk was extracted from a Nexus 7 AOSP 4.2 build, but it should work on the N4 as well.
Benefits = faster benchmarks and smoother scrolling.
> Must be rooted.
> Copy the browser.apk into the system/app folder
> With a root file explorer change the file permissions of the browser.apk to -rw-rw-r (you will see this represented as 664) If you don't do this, it won't install.
> You must rename the BrowserProviderProxy.apk & BrowserProviderProxy.odex otherwise the browser will force close, just add a 1 to the name e.g. 1BrowserProviderProxy.apk1 Do not delete them, if you still want to OTA update Android. Android checks for any changes to the system/app folder before performing an OTA, so you will have to delete the browser.apk and rename the two file back to stock, when it is OTA time.

Does this one have the private browsing page too where there is no history? Incognito I think it's called. The browser apk I have does not have it. Also can some one upload the browser proxy apk and odex file for me I deleted mine like an ass. And I agree chrome blows!

Quite a bit slower than my stock Nexus 7 with the same ASOP browser 4.2, and even a blind crack-addicted donkey knows that the S4 Pro is more powerful than Tegra 3:laugh:
Your result 1801 ms (Nexus 4)
My Result 1443 ms (Nexus 7)
At the end of the day, Sunspider is an outdated benchmark and page load times and HTML 5 compliance are more important, but it is strange that the same SoC minus 2 cores in Windows Phone 8 can achieve sub 1000ms scores, it seems that Qualcomm have a lot of room to optimize their Javascript libraries for Jelly Bean 4.2.
Guess I MUST root my phone now!

OK THREAD CLEANED
Now if you are gonna come in here and start a fight cause you prefer iOS to the superior android then prepare to be flamed by everyone. You are on an android forum.
BTW I have had one of your multiple accounts permabanned already. Wish to make that 2 in 24 hours. .

Thanks for keeping the thread on track, I though my counterpoints were quite good (ego!) It is shame I can't see them, such is price for maintaining a healthy forum.
It would be good to have a sticky on XDA, where a truely knowledgeable developer or superuser could debunk a few of the common misconceptions about Android / Davlik / Java and its performance vs other platforms, it would make a good read, and set a bar for future Android vs iOS comparisons.

Latest for android 4 from here is working fine for me.
Hi.
Is it not possible for someone just to put this up on Google Play as an app for everyone to download? I know someone has done so for the 4.2 keyboard with gesture typing. Just thinking if the same cant be done for this.
Thanks.

I too would like this, this is the first android phone that i dont plan on rooting. I have only rooted to correct certains flaws in other phones (HTC desire not having enough internal memory ) or to to be on latest version of android and get rid of crappy skins (LG o2x, GS2,GS3)
However as certains apps now refuse access with root access, sky go (when its available for jellybean) and barclays banking apps, i would be missing out too much by rooting just for the sake of it, since i will have latest version of stock android as soon as anybody.
However i love the AOSP browser and thus would love to be able to use it without rooting, if anybody knows of a way?
I recently upgraded to jellybam and noticed it was missing almost everything that I
needed to function with on a day to day basis and this is okay, except for some things.
I already looked allover XDA about this and noticed there really is not much on the topic
so I feel help is needed at this point.
What I am wondering the most is where is the video player...?
Also, the camera layout on jellybean sucks, is there anyway to change this?
Any help is appreciated!! Thank you
Well i guess the rom comes with lesser apps than a rom would from the factory. As for a video player i have super video and i'm sure theres a few other good ones. About the camera layout, i don't think you can change that.
Edit: And i am also running jellybam.
Did you update to a custom rom, or did you update through kies. Either way, when you updated you could have restored your phone through google and all your apps shoudl have re-downloaded onto your phone. if thats not the case, open up your play store, hit the menu button, and tap on my apps. after that you'll see a list of all the apps you've downloaded and you can re-download them.
as far as the camera on jellybean not being great, you could always flash a different camera onto your phone if you are rooted. 4.2 camera is super nice.
and i just started using MX player and its pretty nice. Free and has a lot of codecs.
In a lot of Roms you have to reflash "gapps" search XDA for latest version. It is all the Google apps.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
The jellybam rom comes with gapps i think he's talking about some samsung native apps.
If you updated to a stock firmware you should get the GAPPS automatically now if you install a 3rd party ROM like AOKP or CyanogenMod you have to install GAPPS manually just Google it you can find lots of information on it online
Well, coming over from the Captivate Glide forums, I'd like to say that I'm enjoying most of the changes done over the years but there's a few negatives I've noticed.
I bought my Note II on swappa and it was on 4.1.1. I tried updating over Kies, and recovery gave me a red warning saying "unsupported version." After crying and fighting Kies and Odin, I finally got 4.4.2 stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development/rom-att-i317-ucucnj1-mj4-stock-odex-t2973448 and with that being stable for me, I started working on getting all my apps.
My Recommended Apps:
Flashlight: To Activate the Torch widget
AcDisplay: Minimalistic Lockscreen
Amazon Kindle: ebooks
ArtFlow: drawing
Pandora: music
Textra: alternate text/sms
Themer: amazing themes
So, I thought I'd start my introduction to the Note II community and hopefully finding out what's good and bad on the Note II and what apps, themes, and ROMs for daily drivers ya'll recommend to use.
Welcome to the Forums I'm more of a lurker here on XDA but I've had a note II for over 3 years and use this site frequently!
Thanks for the app list! Been looking for an app like Artflow for a while now!
My Recommended Apps:
1) Nova Launcher (polished customizable launcher)
2)VSCO Cam (Photo editing, with tons of presets)
3)Keep (Create notes, lists, to-do lists)
4)Power Toggles (since stock doesn't have data on/off from drop down menu)
6)DoubleTwist (Music player with podcasts)
