Gallery Connect is a Picture/Video app with extended features not included in the stock Gallery. Unique features:
Remote Image/Video display with UPNP/DLNA devices. This includes select 2010 and newer internet enabled TVs (LG, Samsung, Panasonic). It's a nice way to show off those holiday pictures on the big screen.
Support for JPEG, Canon and Nikon raw files (CR2 & NEF)
Support for direct reading from an SD card or any directory
Shows latest photos/videos at the top of the list
Setup:
Download
From the menu select Media Source (defaults to internal camera home) Note: /Removable/SD is SD card
Turn on Play To/UPNP Renderer Functionality on device (See next post)
Select Remote from the menu and select a device.
DLNA Devices Tested:
Windows Media Player 12 (Window 7)
LG 50PZ550 (Any 2011 internet enabled LG should work)
Panasonic DMP-BDTx10 Blu-Ray Players
XBOX 360 in Media Extender Mode
Western Digital Live Plus
Denon AVR-3311CI
Many, many more are compatible. Is your device supported?
See the official DLNA list at http://www.dlna.org/products/. Select "Play To" Receiver and Photo and/or Video.
TODO:
Slideshow. Should it hide the navigator?
Remote Images need to auto-rotate or zoom
No way to stop remote video playback (Work around: select a photo)
Remote playback is dumb. It doesn't check for device compatibility
Leaving "Remote" functionality on will prevent tablet from entering deep sleep
MTP support (direct camera connections).
Improve portrait visual support (landscape works best)
Deselected selected item on Media Source change
Add fling to change images
Notes:
Should work on any Android 2.2+ device
Remote functionality requires a Wifi enabled Android device and a UPNP/DLNA Media Renderer on the same network (LAN).
Local video playback is delegated whatever media player you may have installed.
Photo/video support is highly device dependent. As a generally rule, anything you can play off a USB drive should work via DLNA. Videos shot on phones/tablets seem to work well. Canon .mov video files seem to have audio issues on many devices (why they did not use MP4/AAC is beyond me)
Please click some ads! This is a fully functional version and I've spend 100s of hours on it. I'm not asking for your money. Just a little of your time. If enough people do it, I may be able to get a new USB cable.
Enabling Play To/DLNA
Gallery Remote should automatically detect your DLNA devices when you select remote, but you may need to enable their Media Renderer functionality. Here's how for select devices:
Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7)
Click "Stream"
Select "Allow Remote Control of My Player..."
Confirm Changes (depending on security)
LG TV:
Turn on the TV
Select OK when it asks for permission
Panasonic Blu-Ray DMP-BDTx10:
Setup ->Player Settings ->Network ->Network Settings ->Remote Device Settings
Remote Device Operation="On"
Thank you. Works great!
Thanks for everyone that's trying it. I noticed there are a few crashes (Force closes). I'm going to attempt to fix them. I should have a new version up shortly.
Added 0.5.1 Fixes:
NPE From null Device From UPNP Parse timeout
Fixes NPE crash from MP4 with no create date
Fixed parse error from INT MAX VALUE received from UPNP Device
Added non-functional Slideshow button (Play)
Fixed copy/paste bug from chunkOffset
This is awesome...Now I need a NEW TV!,,lol..
Updated to 0.5.2
Added Slideshow functionality
Fixed crash on change Media Source with a selected File
Fixed only selecting Video caused a crash
Fixed crash on reading corrupt (zero length) or secured files
Fixed video check was using photo checked status
Updated to 0.5.3
Added Timeout for UPNPDevice Parser (should fix ThreadQueue overrun)
Updated JPEG parser to use a dynamic buffer length (should prevent BufferUnderflow)
Fixed Issue where refresh() would reparse all MediaFiles
Hopefully this release will fix the crash on scan (on start-up / after you enter the directory). If not, I'm going to have to add more logging...
Uploaded 0.7
New:
Manual Rotation
Remote Mirroring of rotation, zoom, and movement (very cool, if I do say so)
Improved Portrait Layout
Fixed:
Crash on negative count (corrupt file?)
Can't reselect a player was that was closed and reopened
Fixed "0" creatationTime causing video date to appears as Dec 31, 1969
Upload 0.7.1
Lots of bug fixes
Fixed mutliple issues with rotation corrupting the remote connection (related to Transformer bug)
Improved memory recovery on rotation/shutdown
Fixed issue with menu icons not being colored correctly (2.2)
Fixed issue where SSDP Listener was not being shutdown properly under certain scenarios
I've been mostly testing the remote stuff on my Galaxy S. It appears that 3.2.1 has a bug where it disregards the manual rotation handling and recreates the Activity. This leaked the server connection and would cause Socket in use exceptions for subsequent connections. Took the opportunity to clean up the connect/disconnect handling.
I'm getting close to posting it on the market. Anybody have any issues? Any suggestions for functionality? Any name suggestions?
Update 0.7.5
Lots of little improvements
Fling to change images/video. It's still a little clunky.
Improved Remote dialog layout
Improved disconnect efficiency
Improved (optional) logging
Changed from "Remote" to "Connect" and "Disconnect"
Bug fixes
Fixed crash if tried to move/size empty screen
Fixed bug for XML elements with no children (Crash on device scan)
I now have all the crashes I've seen fixed. Hopefully, I didn't add any new ones. I've made crash logging optional. It will present a notification. You can just click "Ok" to send it. Please leave a short description as it will help me out.
Important: I am now passing the last 20 lines from the syslog on crash/parse error. I'm only sending logs from this app and the ActivityManager. I've added extra remote logging for JPEG parser issues. It will send me the name and path of the file, but not the picture. It will send up to 3 parser logs per session.
Update 0.9
Lots of improvements
Improved start up time on large set w/status notification
Faster (mostly) stutter free thumbnail display
Removed logging and ominous permission requirement
Added Share, Camera & Exit
Auto detect of external media (SD/USB) insertion
Android Media integration (now default)
Improved icon scaling
Remote play no longer blocks, it queues the last request (no more server busy errors)
Ads
I haven't seen any crashes, hopefully I can fix this with the new version
Update 0.9.5
The last release was supposed to be the the final release, but I ended up making some major changes. Lots of new networking code.
Mostly performance and bug fixes to many minor to list, but here are the major ones:
When playing a video, you will now get a seekable progress bar and the ability to pause (stop) a video
Forced the screen to stay on during slideshow to prevent SD unmount (and app crash)
Rewrote network stack to improve device detection, play position accuracy and player notifications
Fixed bug with NOTIFY (Should improve compatibility/stability)
Reverted to my JPEG thumbnail parser
I saw no crashes with the latest version! Let hope this version is as good.
Update 0.9.6
Some minor fixes and annoyances resolved:
Wrote a custom layout handler to handle ad/video progress base location. Faster, fewer listview invalidates
Changed picture filter to ignore images <32k as opposed to specific file names.
Use my mp4 parser to agument Android's for better resolution detection.
Fixed issue where the TIFF parser was reporting errors on files < buffer size.
Hopefully, I'll get this on the market in the next month.
What's next (version 1+):
Pro version (no ads)
Better fling transitions (like Gallery)
Thumbnail view for mass operations like import (especially raw), upload and delete
Picassa (or other) image net source support
Print
Gesture based rotation
Mock ActionBar for Android < 3.0
Suggests?
Update 0.9.6.1
Fixes a couple of force closes
A tail of two releases. I've post both 0.9.6.1 and 0.9.6.1d. The "d" stands for debug. In the event of a parser crash, version "d" will send the EXIF header as part of the debug. The EXIF header primarily contains camera information at the time of shoot. It may contain things like your name, your GPS location at the time of shooting. It doesn't contain anything sensitive like user names or password. It's the same information you send when you upload a picture to Facebook or Picasa or e-mail a photo (minus the actually photo). I've gone through hoops to make sure it does not upload any part of the visual image.
I encourage the debug version as I still have a few crashes that I can't seem to nail down. I will not share the information.
Update:
Thanks! I've now found a couple of problems. First, some apps are naming GIF files a jpgs (arg). Second, some cameras are writing invalid type tags. I'm updating my code to ignore them as per the spec.
Update 9.7
Oh well, "final beta" is out the window at this point.
Enabled hardware acceleration (Image size must be < 4MP on Tranformer). Watch those thumbnails fly!
Removed custom preferences in favor of Android standard. Sorry, your old prefs will be lost.
Add new prefs for slideshow delay, hardware accelaration, max image size, remote scaling, and thumbnail list size.
Add the ability hide thumbnails (configurable by orientation). Portrait disabled by default.
Improved fling (still needs work)
Smoother transition on undersized scaling.
Improved remote scaling
Made refresh smarter
Improved handling of bad EXIF formats
Added Google Analytics
Removed all non-crash debugging. Thanks for those downloaded it!
What's left before I hit the market?
Improve fling (complicated)
Expose extended EXIF info
Figure out what will be in the pro vs the free version.
Ironically, I'll probably publicly release on BlackBerry before Android.
Update 9.7.1
Mostly bug fixes
Fixed issue where rotated items would not recenter if sized below frame size
Fixed crash due to playing an invalid item
Added check for 0 could EXIF size (in attempt to resolve out of memory crash)
Added experimental Cloud Print
Release Candidate 1
Well, it's been over 6 months in the making, but here it is. I would consider this version shippable. What's new:
Complete re-write of the touch engine, more natural fling and movement.
Complete re-write of the display engine. Images now optimized for your display for fast drawing and a crisper look.
Faster remote display
Fixed issue with Denon receivers hanging.
Too many others to list.
Release Candidate 2
Ok. Only 1 crash after a week.
Fixed MP4Parser crash due to buffer under run (I think)
Changed Name to Gallery Connect as Gallery Remote was taken. Unfortunately, it will not replace the old app. You'll have to uninstall it.
Updated Icons and Visuals
Fixed a duplicate HTTP Header issue.
Got my Google Developer account. Hopefully, I'll be putting this on the market next week!
RC2a
Ooops. Forgot to enable crash reporting in RC2
Hopefully, this will be the same as what goes on the market.
Fixes:
Smooth transitions are fixed
Fixed a crash issue if an MP4 doesn't have a MOOV record (crash on scan)
Hopefully fixed a buffer underfill issue (crash on connect)
Created new packages for the free and paid versions. This should be the final package. You'll have to manually uninstall the old version again.
Fixed a crash if you disconnect from Wifi and then attempt to reconnect if Wifi still hasn't been established.

THE LEGEND OF XENOAMP
Do you ever get this feeling in the evening (or morning - I am not judging you!), when the music seems to be richer and more threedee, sung words become more understandable and you have a strong craving for pizza, dougnut, ice cream, or a box of chocolates? It doesn't matter if you feel like dancing or couchlocked, but when you reach for your trusty music player there comes the usual horror: HOW THE HELL DO I CREATE A PLAYLIST?! Sheesh!
So, XenoAmp was conceived on a Beach, when I was trying to create a playlist on my Rockbox-flashed Sansa Fuze, while going deeeeeep Down The Rabbit Hole.
"Click! Click! Where I was? Click! Click! Damn! Click! What was I doing? Damn! Click! Wait, what did I want?"
As much as I love Rockbox firmware, its interface is too geeky even for geekiest geeks. Man! I don't think I was ever able to create a playlist on Rockbox when I was baseline. I thought to myself: "there must be a better way!". So in the beginning I just wanted to create a wrapper for Android port of Rockbox, to make it a little less rough. Maybe even - turn it into a Pillowbox. But then, as it often happens with software, it grew. It grew only from the inside, though, as on the surface it stayed just very minimalistic: spartan "Now playing" screen with no widgets, each function accessible through a simple touch, sweep or sleight of hand. Before I throw some screenshots with explanation, check out CURRENT features (if you REALLY need to see how XenoAmp looks, resist the urge to peek at screenshots - static XenoAmp is dull, see "XenoAmp The Movie" instead).
Now the list of current features (some don't have GUI yet, but do exist). Since XenoAmp is all about music, let's begin with...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Audio features:
- Gapless playback on Jelly Bean!
- Replaygain support
- Standard audio controls: bass boost, equalizer, virtualizer, etc.
- Equalizer can be calibrated via automatic room correction (like Audyssey or YPAO) for optimal playback, regardress of amp/loudspeaker/place combination
- Headphones can sound as never before with audiogram-based calibrator
- Currently plays all audio formats supported by your Android version (as Rockbox is still not integrated)
- Experimental engine plays MP3, OGG, MPC, WMA, AIFF, FLAC, M4A, MP4
- Different sound profiles for dock/car/headphones. Going for a ride? Unplug your headphones, dock your android device in a car and it will equalize to your precalibrated car profile.
- Viper Audio 10-band equalizer used where available
Media library:
- Browse your collection faster than ever - see it on a 2D pinch-to-zoom-able matrix with customizable axii: Albums by artists? Albums by years? Gneres by artists? ANY combination of ID3 tags is supported. Zoom out to see the mosaic of covers, zoom in to track level! Select quickly from albums in the same row.
- Were you missing AlbumArtist tag? Well - not anymore.
- Picking from zoomable matrix too fancy? Choose your tracks the way geeks do it: with filesystem browser.
- Browse your tracks by rating, date of listening, date of adding to library, or playcount, with neat flow-style interface.
- For all anal retentive among us: synchronize your music tags to MusicBrainz and Discogs, either automatically or by scanning barcode from your original CD.
- Automatic album art downloading (your embedded ID3 cover has a priority, unless of very low quality). Art is kept as normal png images on your filesystem.
- Don't like the album art XenoAmp's fuzzy logic picked? No prob - you can always choose a better one manualy.
- Index and play your cifs media to create a real audio station for your home (when mounted via cifs.ko).
- Browse and create playlists from files on your SMB network (even without cifs.ko)
- Edit tags for a bunch of tracks or mass edit by template.
- Outside of XenoAmp: click a file in ES Explorer, Total Commander, Solid Browser or Whatever File Browser and voila: you've created a playlist from current directory contents!
- "native" XenoAmp Playlists are kept in m3u8 with absolute paths
- manage .nomedia files inside xenoamp browser
- let XenoAmp choose tracks for you: random 100 tracks, random 10 albums, random never listened tracks
- Find tracks in similar mood in your library
- Filter your collection by provider (local files, Subsonic servers, Google Music...)
Interface:
- You can't get more minimalist. Unless you turn off your display. If you more of a "hello, kitty!" person, you won't like it.
- Everything you do is just touch or sweep. Draw a circle for volume up/down.
- Managing playlists is no more a pain, you can EASILY (and I mean in a snap) create, delete and rename playlists, switch between them, append them with tracks based on any tag (artist, ALBUM ARTIST, year, genre...), shuffle, move tracks around, delete them, choose quickly across albums, toggle selection and so on. Just pull up those three dots on the bottom of the screen.
- Click playlist entry to play, drag to move up/down, sweep to delete. Touch tracks in any of available views (2d matrix, file browser, top chart) to add and remove them from choosen playlist (might be be different from currently playing), easily toggle selection.
Music services:
- 8Tracks
- Internet radio
- Google music
- Subsonic (if you friends have Subsonic servers, you can sync to all of them!)
Bits and pieces:
- Voice control
- Control via headset button
- Scrobbling to last.fm and libre.fm (via wonderful "A simple last.fm scrobbler" - get it on the Market)
- Browse into M3U* and PLS, and recursively into playlists inside them
- M3U* and PLS handle local, HTTP and SMB entries
- Browse and search internet radio directory
- Player reacts to audio jack, incoming calls, respects Android audio focus and media button interfaces.
- Displays lyrics via LyricsWiki.
- Minimalistic home screen widgets, currently 1x1, 4x1, 4x2 and 4x4
- Respects .nomedia
- Most features working on Gingerbread (API 10), could probably be made to work on Froyo (they used to, but since all my friends migrated to GB I can't say if it is still working)
- Low end machines supported, working fluently on HTC Touch Pro2 (and that's a 528 Mhz CPU!). OK, not enough memory to display covers, but still usable.
- AVRCP - as stated in this post: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23439-avrcp-13-map-compability-current-test-build-b33-ml-2/ AVRCP should be working on AOKP ROMs for anything that supports "A simple last.fm scrobbler" (which XenoAmp does).
- Sleep timer.
- Probably a lot more bits and pieces I forgot...

FAQ
FAQ moved here: http://www.xenoamp.info/index.php/faq
Q: What other features are in the work?
Priority:
- New, short and nice tutorial (- a small button, maybe in the corner would open the contextual tutorial so if the user wants to remember something, he wouldn't need to re-trigger all the tutorials. the tutorials might be more user friendly, maybe next and back buttons or right and left sweeping, and have the same or a close background color. I'm kind of thinking of a theme concept for the app, but won't share anything before it's done.)
- Bring back pinch to zoom
secondary:
- Time display problem with >1h tracks
- Can we get some better feedback on which covers are from embedded and which not when choosing an icon for an album?
- Nagger
- add CD-like mask for cover on WPS & lockscreen
- subsonic browsing
- gmusic browsing
- fix voice search bug
further enhancments:
- "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to dimension: type=0x2" in wizard
- MbID not read/written by xenoamp
- add special tags to m3u8 (proposed: sort order for autoshuffling, cursor position, playlist stack data, one-shoot track [for rockbox-style queuing])
- Music cabinet http://dilerium.se/musiccabinet/
- "Ivory" skin - it is there, but unpolished. Still ebony patches here and there
- Support multiple genres per track
- Proper support of multiple artists per track
- Guitar chords, sheet music?
- Pref: customize colors
- Tasker support - tell about media playing
- Use Volume up/down as pause
- Think about new concert view
- Smart continuator
- string filter in query view
- add label field to xeno database to enhance audiofreak factor
- Itunes synchronization (anyone able to explain what that means?)

RELEASE 0.21

RELEASE 0.20 (CONSERVATIVE HOTFIX)
- Turn on Android notifications by default
- Make beta version disclaimer less intimidating

- Fixed playlist name cutoff on ldpi
- New DJ: 10 random albums
- Headeset buttons - may be fixed, try it.
NEW RELEASE 0.17

- Fixed: exiting screens brings back to WPS (was: There is a problem, that I cannot go from playlist screen back to main screen without playing music. Pressing back key, after I e.g. enabled my BT headphones in settings then switched back to app puts me back to BT settings menu...which is frustrating. Add some sort of gesture or key for general in-app back)
- I've ordered a bluetooth receiver with media buttons to test problems with media buttons
- Fixed DSP discovery on broken ROMs. Now you can at least use Bears Audio...
- Cleaned lots of calibrator code to prepare it for GUI, outpurt of uncorrected (=useless) room frequency response in logcat

RELEASE 0.16
- Better responsiveness during scan.
- Fixed by brute force: Clearing currently playing playlist causes some strange side effects
- New DJ: all tracks (wonder how many tracks will make out of memory error...)

- Fixes: dsp working as expected on JB (was: Check chained dsp in JB)
RELEASE 0.14
- fix scanning on machines that have their storage monted via fuse
- save (last) scroll position in file browser mode
- fixed one FC in filebrowser
- fixed Korean (and probably all other) font displays. QUESTION: Which languages need scroll direction and prev/next directions swapped?
- fixed various database threading issues
- fixed loooooong artist display on WPS
- equalizer now has "flatten" button that will reset it and turn off to save cpu
- fixed eq display behaving strange on drag
- fixed last band on eq display looking stupid
- Turkish translation (thanks Translater)
- fixed: "The player turns silent mode off automatically".
- In your face Spinal Tap! My Amp goes to +50! Volume is now 50 steps for extreme fine tune and preserved from session to session.
- Fix temporary audiofocus loss
- How do you like new icon?
RELEASE 0.13 (Google market release)
- Fixed some crashes connected to database
- Fixed next track after sort
- Fixed FC in file browser
- Fixed various FCs from 0.12
RELEASE 0.12
- Massive amount of FC bugfixes
- Improved db interaction stability
- Incorporated Google Music Play API, and removed it again, as it created some crazy compilation memory requirements. Since Google Music is available only in the U.S.A., I need someone brave from there to test it.
- Framework for detecting your Android facilities. If after this update you don't see anything in EQ (or XenoAmp crashes immediately...) it means your EQ engine is broken. Ask your ROM chief! (was: Detect and disable cheating Androids (the ones that claim they're higher versions that really are) - this causes many FCs, because xenoamp uses features based on API level. Some ROMS clam to be JellyBean, but surprisingly don't support JellyBean APIs!)
- Nomedia management fixed
- First changes for low DPI devices, tell me if you see them in playlists and filebrowser (sheet probably left untouched).
- Low DPI devices will get Base Icon size of 100x100, meaning that covers will be kept at 100x100 pixels and existing tag/cover.jpg files will be used if greater than 100x100 px. Existing xenoamp covers won't be resised, you have to delete them (or mass resize with favourite tool).
- Put back Beats Audio hack discovery into Xeno EQs.
- Fixed nonresponsiveness while db scanning (that includes pausing current track).
- Allow zoom out in sheet by click on row name
- Pref: completely disable rating
- Pref: stop phone from locking while xenoamping
- Pref: allow Android notification bar instead of xeno (looks cr*p, but customer is always right!)
- Fixed: JellyBean - next track often out of sync with current playlist
- Did I mention media scanning improvements?
RELEASE 0.11
- Another fix for initial scanning (sheeeeesh...)
- Due to reintroducing SMB components and preparation to SMB streaming, big internal change to audiotrack object, should be transparent to users, but could also break a lot, as it is used everywhere in XenoAmp (works here, he, he...)
RELEASE 0.10
Skip
RELEASE 0.9
- Probably fixed crash on 2.x.x
- Annotated database scan so your logcats have more info
- Fixed progress circle not working in first quarter.
RELEASE 0.8
- Lockscreen widget on ICS and later - alive and kicking (earlier Androids will get only xenoampy widget, sorry! ...but then again maybe you won't be sorry if you see it)
- Finally fix this f#$!?* file scanning on all devices? Don't know. You tell me!
RELEASE 0.7
- Bugfix release, detect broken AdioFX on some devices. ("Effect library not loaded" exception)
- For me: getting crash reports from widgets, until now I wasn`t aware something`s wrong (and never had any problem with widgets)
- Test lockscreen widget, as it keeps coming back to me like a boomerang. (not visible for users)
- Bigger filesize due to reintegration of smb (not yet enabled)
RELEASE 0.6
- Managing .nomedia by Xeno file browser (requested also as: Allow user to choose which folders to scan). From file/directory context menu you can flip folder .nomedia status (works upward to highest .nomedia).
- Changing default cover image (the white-with-note one) - i think I'll start competition for replacement art. XenoAmp default cover image competition
- Switching play/pause with rating (you know what I mean?)
- Phone jack preference works as expected
- Quick and dirty: displaying results of MusicBrainz queries (no updates to db yet, as "smart" syncing still needs tuning), go to sheet view, select "Smart tag sync" from context menu. Results may vary.
- Bugfix for media scan for users who have their media mounted in /
RELEASE 0.5
- Faster initial scan - during first run only your current media folders will be scanned (only the folders that Android is aware of). If you force scan from prefs it will scan all mounted vfat, cifs and ext* media. (If you want to check this feature, or your media didn't get scanned before, PLEASE UNINSTALL COMPLETELY to remove current database).
- .nomedia is now recursive
- some bug fixes, based on your reports and BugSense
RELEASE 0.4
- Fixed db scanning on JellyBean. Media scanner will pick all mounted vfat and cifs filesystems, no unneeded directories scanned.
RELEASE 0.3
PLEASE UNINSTALL COMPLETELY BEFORE REINSTALLING!
Release 0.3 has the following fixed:
- Android 2.2.x Should be working, but since I don't have a 2.2.x machine, I can't check it.
- Completely new media scanning engine, shouldn't cause out of memory, should scan all your mounted media.
- Showing lyrics should now work every time.
- Title scrolling too fast on low DPI devices
- Clock overlapping battery on low DPI
- Pinch to zoom crash
- Sorting tracks by title and trackno in filebrowser view, sheet view and playlist widget. If you need any other kind of sort - tell me. Do remember, that playlist names and directory names have a context menu (long press) and react to click (toggle selection), so you can easily select all tracks in sheet tile or whole directory in filebrowser mode!
- Corrected date of addition to db, date of last play bug, the flow view is now fully functional
- Cover images from jpegs in folders. Priority is now: 1) mp3 embedded if bigger than 300x300, 2) any *.jp(e)g file in track's dir or parent dir, if bigger than 300x300, 3) internet search
- Lots of small bugs - THANKS TO ALL THE TESTERS!

great work!
well, that's an outstanding concept of a music-player!
i really like how it is stylish and easy to use at the same time. would really like to get my hands on it and give it a closer look, so if you need someone to test it on various roms (if you wish i'll test it on stock, cm, aokp or anything else you'd like) on a samsung galaxy s i9000, you can count me in...
greetz & keep up the good work,

Really liked the demo. Small suggestion: Might wanna fix the white letters on white album art thing. Goodluck!
Excellent idea and concept, happy to test on desire s ics and jb

How can I be a tester? I'd like to test this on My Evo4GLtE.
I'd like to give this a try if you need someone to test in a Droid razr maxx

I'm down to test on my Galaxy S3.
Looks genuinely great. Finally a music player that focuses on the sound + simplicity over pure style. I would LOVE to test this on my Galaxy Note (Android 4.0.4)

Would love to test it on Xperia neo V

Thank you for your interest. I am still correcting some minor glitches - although the player is pretty stable, as Murphy predicted, as soon as I started recording this demo to impress you, I found some new (minor) bugs. Oh - I didn't mention - the app will upload crash reports to Bugsense, hope it is ok for everyone. Mind also that you shouldn't use it yet while roaming, it has no "data off" switch yet and with amount of cover data it downloads you can quickly be billed loads of money.

Oh, sorry for that. The image is a bit fuzzy, but I think in reality it looks a bit better:

Hi there! Well, actually it has more things than many modern phones don't have
Xenon flash, 2nd largest sensor (just behind the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-CM1 that has 1-inch sensor), HDMI port, 3.5 audio jack, TV-out, FM transmitter, NFC, removable battery, camera button, high-quality stereo microphones (maybe still the king in recording quality?) etc
I haven't found any Symbian category in XDA, but I would like to see one. I have plenty more apps to recommend (and hundreds installed in my 808), but I am also trying to revive some old internet-related apps to restore as much functionality as possible. You have the SIStore installed, so you can check the first app that I revived by changing it completely to the ESPN FC Web (for the soccer fans). I will keep up with the efforts, but since I am not a developer, I would appreciate any assistance from any developer. I am sharing the result for free of course.
I want to restore Clouds, News apps, New Movies/trailers, facebook chat/messenger through new API, weather apps, etc
Any assistance/advice is welcome!
And yes, 808 is still the king!
Great to hear that someone value this great device.
Ah CM1, yeah. It can be better, but not in all scenarios.
And remeber that n808 is more compact, CM1 is quite bulky.
Here is some full-sized examples of n808 mightiness (see attached zip)

Amazing photos!
In many aspects, I love the 808! It is very easy to grip and use it with one hand for sure! CM1 is not that far though. It is quite narrow, and only slightly bigger than the 808, it can also be used with one hand, and although not as easy as with the 808, sure way easier than all flagships since then (even 5.5-inch screen is considered as small nowadays!)
Nokia 808 has a better camera then some of these 100 megapixel, overrated 7 lenses in one smartphone camera type of phones lol.
