1.5 Beta 4

I been working like crazy over the last 2 weeks to try and finish up 1.5, so here is the last 1.5 beta release.  Anything after this will just be bug fixes.  I've finished one of the skins and will be doing the rest of the skins this week (I'll probably have the other holo skins up tomorrow).  Check this post for links for the skins: http://gonemadmusicplayer.proboards.com/thread/418/1-5-beta-skins

1.5.b4.0 (02/10/2014):
-Removed classic silver and classic cyan skins (they will available as external skins eventually)
-Added the ability to select the font size, font style, number of lines, display style, and text alignment for each metadata line in now playing
-Changed around the default look of the metadata on now playing.  Text is centered and the icons are turned off. All six slots have been reset to make sure these changes take effect.
-Reset all the slots
-Changed single click and hold's default action to none to prevent accidentally toggling shuffle
-Removed shuffle and repeat indicator; the shuffle and repeat button now uses different button images to represent the shuffle/repeat mode
-Shuffle and repeat buttons are now visible next to the seek bar in now playing when seek bar buttons are enabled
-Prevent the queue from looping on error
-EQ preset will now only change to "custom" if the bands were changed after editing
-Added support for resizable widgets
-AVRCP 3.0 fix is now applied to both 4.3 and 4.4 samsung devices (excluding galaxy nexus since it does not run touchwiz)
-Added better visual touch feedback to the buttons in now playing, notifications, and widgets
-Added higher res icons
-Added animations when adding / removing new rules in smart playlists and when toggling the media controls in now playing
-Added ability to turn off the navigation bar (choose "off" when setting the navigation bars location)
-Split seek time preference into 2; one for seek forward and one for seek back
-Last played time is now saved in the stats backup
-Added intents to automate backup/restore for users that purchased the unlocker: gonemad.gmmp.action.BACKUP_STATS, gonemad.gmmp.action.BACKUP_SETTINGS, gonemad.gmmp.action.RESTORE_STATS, gonemad.gmmp.action.RESTORE_SETTINGS
-Added play next album and play previous album to the gesture/single button actions.  Fling up and down are now defaulted to next/prev album.  Next/prev album will order all the albums by artist then album name and then pick the next/previous one.
-Added ability to rename views/tabs (prefs -> ui -> rename views)
-Added toggle to switch between split and regular tablet modes
-A random song will be enqueued when GMMP is first ran after installation.  This is to prevent the black screen
-Native libraries are now always extracted from assets on install/update due to some bugs in the android apk installer
-Added warning when enabling bass boost/virtualizer since not all devices support these effects
-Fixed various crashes
-Added options to scan mp4 and 3gp files to the scanner (both are off by default since they are typically video extensions)
-Improved responsiveness of the plus/minus buttons in the jump to time dialog
-On honeycomb and higher, the default holo theme is used for dialogs/popups for skins.  This is to prevent a mismatch of colors from the skins

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 released and is now free!

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 is now fully rolled out!  After 14 years since initial release as being a paid app, I've decided to try something different and switch to being free with ads.  The market is completely different nowadays compared to the early 2010s.  Ads are everywhere and users typically do not want to pay for apps / games / etc.  But don't worry, those users who previously purchased the unlocker or in app purchase unlock will continue to get an ad free experience.  New users will also have the option to purchase an in app purchase to permanently remove ads.   Note: There is a bug with 4.0 where users with the standalone unlocker may see ads when they first upgrade.  You typically fix this by just force stopping the app and restarting.  Ads should not come back after that.  Alternatively you can contact gonemadsoftware@gmail.com and I can help you out as well.  I have no intention on making users who already paid see ads.

4.1

4.1 marks the end of life for Android Lollipop (5.0/5.1).  Some of GMMP's dependencies require the SDK level 23 or higher, so I was forced to also increase the min sdk to 23 (android 6.0).  According to the google play store statistics there are around 50 or so users on 5.0/5.1, so I do apologize for dropping support.  10 years of support is fairly decent nowadays anyway.   I've also increased the target SDK to android 16.  With this increase I had to account for the forced "edge-to-edge" that google is making all apps support.  If any UI element ends up behind the navigation buttons, certainly let me know.  I am pretty sure I did everything correctly but I only had one device that I was able to test on (pixel 6a) 4.1.0 (2025-09-03): Updated target SDK to Android 16 Updated dependencies Updated translations
