if you do, what app do you use? the stock "music" app IMO is a bit trashy so i was wondering if anyone knows of a better one. plus, is there a way to not have the screen autolock (quite annoying)? thx!
I used to with my mt3g but can't find an adapter for my g2. I stuck with the stock music app.

I used to use the stock music app, but now I'm loving Winamp. I recommend giving it a shot.
Doubletwist is a close second.

MortPlayer Music. The best car features are the swipe gestures for playback control and the ability to lock the screen orientation.
I used Cubed. Think it looks the slickest. (If you do a search for Cubed, it's the one listed as the 3 cubed symbol).
Winamp

MixZing and I have a widget that I sit next to my MixZing widget that keeps the screen on at all times, perfect combo since I always have the phone charging in the car.
Doubletwist
Stock app, and I use Bluetooth audio streaming to SYNC and control playback via AVRCP. So, little to no interaction with the phone's playback software.
I'm liking the PowerAMP music player
it's here on XDA

I'm hearing good things about PowerAMP. I'll have to check it out.
Hey scrizz! I see you're in Tampa...I'm right across the bay from you!
Im using Winamp it works alot better than the stock music player. Another nice feature is when you lock your screen and you unlock it you can have it set up to change the track or pause the song without having to slide to unlock.
I use winamp, and I love it haven't tried anything else yet but its wayyyyy better than stock imo.

Adapter? You mean a regular 3.5mm headphone jack? You don't need a stupid adapter with this phone.
I use music mod, a better version of the stock music. Works great for me.

Not sure if this should be in accessories or not but I've been looking into getting a head unit for my car and have been wondering whether there is good android integration on decks these days. I was looking into the Kenwood excelon series but I didn't know how well they function with the e4gt, Google music, usb, and bluetooth. I've tried searching the Internet for my answers but have gotten various answers, so I decided to get your guys input.
Not sure if blue tooth connectivity or usb would be better- I've heard that id3 tags won't show up by way of bluetooth in some cases. I want a deck that I can select my music from since it's against the law to use my cell phone while driving here, and I would like to continue using Google music because everything is in the cloud. If need be I could always put music on my sd card but that is a last resort. Any ideas, suggestions, experiences? Thanks!
Edit: I don't know if this is useful but I forgot to add I'm running stock rooted gb el29 until ics gets fully stable (I know it's pretty much there already but I'd rather not bother with bugs right now)

U can try adapter to stereo u currently have...bluetooth adapter works great for talkin on phone and listenin to music or usb if u want to read music and charge phone at same time..
But would an adapter allow you to select music through your stereo or would you still have to select music by way of your phone?

All the id3 tags work fine on your desk? Also does Google music work with it?

Not sure what you're asking me. Tags for over the bt adapter to the display on the head? No. They don't work on that for me. But the player works fine.

I have a sony deck, and the stock music player app works over bluetooth. MP3 track titles show up on the deck, I can pause, skip tracks forward and back, and fast forward/rewind using the controls on the deck. I have tried a couple of different music players and only the stock Touch Wiz player can be controlled from the deck. I can listen to other music player through bluetooth, but loose the deck control.
FYI I've used calk's GB and ICS roms, stock rooted, and Blazer GB with the sony deck.

Perfect that's more or less what I was wondering and it seems to be predominate that only the stock player works with id3 tags showing up on the deck.
Has anyone figured out a work around to get Google music to work?

I'm trying out a friends pioneer this weekend and I'm almost positive I'll get a pioneer deck or a Kenwood excelon. They seem to be catching up with android use finally according to reviews. I would say it's partly google's fault and partly stereo brands. I imagine it's hard to plan to integrate android when it is so fragmented.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone here tried using a tablet as a head unit? I'm curious how much audio quality you would have to sacrifice..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Check out mirror link head units... I believe Sony has a model coming to the states soon... supposedly they support full integration with your phone...
As far as the tablet goes, if you can run your audio through your usb your audio quality should be as good as the quality of the music files on your tablet and the quality of the sound system in the car...

Has anyone actually gotten the Beats equalizer to do anything? It seems to have no effect on anything on my phone... speaker, Bluetooth audio or headset.
Is there a trick to get it to do something? Or is it only certain things it works with?
I've tried it with the stock player and Mixzing. Both players' internal EQ settings work fine.
Thanks for any tips!

Stock player. I mostly stream music over BT in my car though, and I can change equalizer settings & hear the difference.
Also, I have my phone speaker set to enhance voice, and it works very well.

From my understanding, you will have to kill the stock music player (or delete it, I did). You may be able to use Google Music if you delete it as a system app and install it from the market (no guarantee, haven't tried it). I use Poweramp instead of the stock music player and it is much better! Works flawlessly with this mod. Have used it on Frosty JB v10 and Wicked v 1.3 & 2.1. Hope you get it working!
I killed google music and it started working with Pandora. I tried installing Google music from the market and get the same behavior...Pandora not skipping tracks. That really sucks because those are the only 2 music apps that I use.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
check this out....
I had launched pandora... used it with the vol-rocker to skip tracks. everything was good.
I paused pandora by unplugging my headphones (autopause). I unfroze google music
Next, I opened google music to play some music, turned the screen off, and then tried to use the volume rocker to change tracks.
guess what happened? Google music stopped and pandora skipped to the next pandora track. I had to go into pandora, hit menu, then hit quit. After this, the music skipping worked perfectly in google music. Unfortunately, google music doesn't have a similar "quit" button.
conclusion? This volume rocker mod is not doing a good job of figuring out which music player has focus.
This was mentioned in that thread. UnknownForce mentioned this in the post.
So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the Mod itself, as it's doing what it's supposed to do (Send the MEDIA_NEXT or MEDIA_PREVIOUS broadcast to the system) It seems like it's something wrong with the way the system handles the broadcast and routing it to the appropriate application.

It was also mentioned a couple of posts below that, again by UnkownForce, in the original thread.
Yes, it does actually work, but only with the "Top level" music player. Which explains why when you remove the others, that it works with the current player, whatever player that may be.
It seems like it's a system bug that can't distinguish which player "has focus" when pressing a Media button like next or previous. I haven't had much time to look at it with the holidays and everything, but I'm still looking into ways to make this work.

I also noticed that if you aren't playing any music, long pressing the vol up will start playing music.

So running root box 3.6 and have my phone pimped just the way I like it. Now when I open and play Pandora, I can't create a station. If I click add station, it changes to pick a station page and then changes right back to my stations and I can't enter any info to get a new station? Any help would be great. I have rebooted, reinstalled and no changes?

I have the same problem too but i don't think it's the rom because i think i had this problem on a different rom, i'm pretty sure it's pandora.
For such a mainstream app,, Pandora GUI really sucks.
I'm in the middle of some other things right now, so I can't try to duplicate your problem. I just wanted to use your thread to complain about Pandora.
Definitely an issue with Pandora, it's been bugging me for weeks
