Hey GoneMad/guys
My phone laggs like crazy when I use the widget to go to the next song (like when I switch to next song and immediately try to swipe to my other homescreen). I did a bit of research and saw on the roadmap that you planned to rewrite the widget code. Is this someting you are still considering? If so would that fix the lagg? The stock player and Apollo are not having this issue so I don't think it's my phone.
I have an Xperia Sola and I run Cyanogenmod 9.1 (ported by FXP).
Love your player, keep up the good work!!
Bart

Bart Well the widget shouldnt lag the phone, the widget itself is laggy. All it does us update the text and image when it receives a new song intent. But yeah everything on the roadmap is still planned |

I tested some more with it and it seems that my phone start lagging when the album art is being changed. When I press Next and I swipe my screen it's still smooth up until it changed the song, but when it starts switching album art it starts lagging.  Maybe because all my music and album art is on my external SD? Regards, Bart |

Yo, another update
I have no problems when I use the smaller 2x1 widget which doesn't have album art (I used 4x1 before). Seems it really is related to loading the album art..
Will test some more and let you know if I find anything :3
Regards,
Bart

well the only processing done is saving an image to your storage and then load the image from disk
there really isnt a way to do that more efficiently.. its done in the background too so it shouldnt freeze the ui. It could possibly be related to you running a custom rom. I test on many low end devices (im talking 480mhz cpus) and there is no lag with the widget like you describe

Hey man, just wanted to post a quick response. Your latest update fixed the slow widget for me! Now it also skips to the next song faster  ! And no more lag when swiping the screen (as I noticed it now switches art after the swipe is finished, which is completely fine!) Now I can finally enjoy the 4x1 widget  Thanks a lot! |
