I believe Gingerbread support was removed among the changes to make things work better with the improvements from 4.0 and above. I know it was mentioned somewhere either here in the thread or on the git page, I'll see if I can find it.

Well that's just great...

I really want to make use of this but can I even install jellybean on a single core phone? What improvements are there really in 4.x?

Which phone are you using? Anything Android 4 and above has a number of under-the-cover tweaks which improve performance, usability, and features pretty heftily. There are a number of single-core phones which run ICS or JB. It would likely be a tall order to probably back-port the changes to the new version into one that's GB-compatible.

The only thing you definitely wouldn't be able to run on droidsound period with a single core is Dreamcast music, which basically requires a dual core for thread reasons. Otherwise I'd personally be interested in seeing what your single core can do with this version of droidsound anyway.

I'm running a Samsung Stratosphere S SCH-I405 because when I was with my mate he wanted me to get a phone and it was the only one in the verizon store that had a physical keypad to it...

The swimsuitboys droidsound runs fine except the VICE emulation pretty much tied up the phone and I couldn't really listen to much on it without it skipping.

I only really need something that can play NSF, SPC, adlib formats, and of course all the different types of modules from amiga to PC. Droidsound on the play store fulfilled like, half of that.

Ok, now I have a new issue.

Before, I downloaded the apk files from Github like this:

1) go to prebuilt directory
2) click on the file name
3) click on View Raw on the page I get sent to

Now, when I click on View Raw, I get the error message, "Error: blob is too big". So I can't download the file. Now what?

Boy, I'm just a barrel full of problems, aren't I. :)

RitzierHades63: recently I added new Examples.zip made by Level99 to the APK, If the error is because of that, send Level99 tons of hatemail.

EDIT: I tried this by myself and it fails now :(
I will send hatemail to Level99 myself :)

If you're trying to download from the phone, have you tried viewing the site in desktop mode, you just tap view raw afterwards and download should start automatically.

So apparently GitHub has a max file download size if you're not logged in as a member? That's news to me. Definitely working fine while I'm logged in, and Droidsound works fine with it. Argh, I'm going to go comb the TOS of GitHub now.

Save the hatemail, I'll dig myself out of this ditch.

Edit: I'm going to send over a smaller Examples.zip that removes the test streaming files and other large filetypes (as sad as that is, some of those songs are awesome). If the combined file is less than 10mb, I believe Git should allow anonymous download. I'll have the new file up'd ASAP.

Edit Edit: bumped the issue thread on Git with the new examples zip. This SHOULD do it. Try bundling it with the next build. Sorry about that.

Maybe you should have a seperate download. For example, leave the "example.zip" with the APK, but also include on the download page (or a link to somewhere that allows larger files) an "advanced-example.zip" or something.

While I'm here, I'd like to voice the problems I've been having with Droidsound. I know I'm supposed to report this on the GIT site, but is there a "how to" section, since I have no idea how to report a problem there? Do I need to create an account (I really hope not. I hate signing up for things)?

In short, most of my problems have already been mentioned by other people already. The biggest problem is a lack of a menu/options/settings button. I also haven't been able to play MP3s from within ZIP files.

I prefer to use Rockbox myself, but Rockbox has no "play from archives" or PSF support. So I decided to try Droidsound again, seeing as it has received a number of improvements from the last time I used it. Hopefully the issues I'm experiencing can be resolved. Maybe then I'll be able to get more use out of it. Mouser X over and out.

Level99: thanks for the fix, won't send any mail now. What Mouser X said about the separated download, i like the idea. A dedicated server for this would rock, just like the original authors have.

Mouser X: unfortunately you need to sign up there :( current droidsound should be able to play mp3 from archives. About the menu/settings things, this is just because Google decided to remove the Menu button, now things are more complicated. Also this MediaPlayer problem is giving me headaches.
