cant think of any reason you would have to do that other than something getting corrupted during the update. Ive gotten some error reports about issues that happen when the version of android of the users phone updates (that happens to be around the same time as an update).. but that is usually due to samsung changing around the directory structure of their storage

Hi, been using 1.5b2 for few days on 7" tablet. Some thoughts on new interface.
1. Could some way be provided to easily switch between now playing in full screen mode and the new split view (which is great by the way). e.g. adding a context menu option, clicking on an icon/label in the navigation bar, or some way to swipe between the two views. Currently the only way to switch views is in preferences - rather inconvenient.
2. The swipe function to move through navigation bar tabs works great - however would it be better if the swipes could continuously loop forward/back between tabs, would save having to go back through every item to the get to the first tab from the last for instance.
3. Finally I noticed that neither show album art nor show lyrics work in the split view - is this correct?
Keep it up - new changes are making player even more pleasurable to use. Superb!

For 1) only issue for me is that in split view the artwork can get very small - so just had another thought that might resolve that, could an extra navigation tab be added that shows album art in the split view (possibly even full screen mode as well) that could be swiped to/from. As the Now Playing tab already allows the artwork to be hidden and the navigation tabs can be rearranged the user would then have a great deal of control of how and where the artwork appears. Thanks.

Yea as time goes on im going to add things to take advantage of the split view more.. but yea i can probably add a menu option to switch. it would most likely have to force a quick restart of the UI (similar to changing skins)

So. I found the "tempo" function and I will use this thing very often in future. My question to gonemad: Can you implement a menu entry for the tempo-function, please? It is really working fine for me; but I use this function from time to time - one song with tempo, one without. And, it's really hard to change everytime via "settings", hence my question. This would be great.

This would be great. There is going to be a UI for it.. the last major part of 1.5 is a UI for additional DSP effects: tempo, bass boost, virtualizer, and reverb

It is really hard to use seek bar now. When I try to seek duration it tries to swipe the screen view. ( I use 4.7" 720p screen phone )

it shouldnt be.. only the right 10% of now playing responds to swipe navigation if you happen to miss the seek bar. You can disable it in the prefs -> UI anyway

Been using 1.5 b4 0 for a couple of days.
Thanks for implementing the icon to switch quickly between full and split screen modes. However in full screen mode the enabled views in the navigation bar are not evenly distributed across the available space (they are crammed together on the left-hand side), whereas in split screen mode they are evenly distributed. Thanks.

Thanks. Yea I was never able to get that to work %100 for every android device. The problem is, the option to evenly distribute make each tab the same size and this can cause the text in the tab to get cut off sometimes. So the code tries to calculate if there is enough room to evenly distribute them without cutting off the text.. otherwise it disables that option and they are just all placed side by side starting from the left. Most likely the addition of the now playing tab is putting it past the threshold to allow the even distribution. I can look at the calculations again but i did spend awhile on it and how it is now was the best i could get

Ok I see the problem. If I rename 'Now Playing' to 'Player' the icons are now evenly distributed in both screen modes in landscape, even if all the navigation tabs are enabled on my 1280x800 display. Thanks.
