I'm really happy with how 1.4.9 turned out. Added a few new things and fixed a bunch of long standing bugs. The fixes should fix most of the instances where GMMP freezes/stops responding. Hardware acceleration should make the UI a bit smoother as well. I also decided to disable OpenSL by default for mp3 playback. 90% of the support emails I receive have been fixed by just disabling OpenSL and it serves no benefit for mp3s. AAC formats will still use it since the legacy aac decoder was removed in jelly bean.
Edit: I found a bug with now playing not updating when changing preferences. I updated the apk files.. so redownload 1.4.9 and install if you are not using amazon or google play
