GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 14

By

 Phase 2 has quickly come and gone and GMMP is now entering the final phase of the beta.  I already started working off the bug list and have included many fixes in beta 14.  Basically what is left before final release is fixes (of course), updated translations, help pages/documentation, and adding some basic onboarding to the player.

For translations I uploaded the existing translations on a new site called localazy.  It has a pretty easy to use interface and should allow the community to help with the translations.  Here is the page: https://localazy.com/p/gonemad-music-player  I am not 100% sure how it works for additional users contributing, so if you want to help with the translations just toss me an email and we can figure it out.  Just like before, anyone that significantly contributes to the translations can get a free promo code for the app if they so desire.  

To help make the translation process easier, I've gone through most of the existing strings in the app and removed all the unused one.  I am sure many have noticed that 3.0 has a lot less setting descriptions in the actual app.  The main reasoning for that is to cut down on the amount of content that needed to be translated.  I do plan on create tons of UI view specific help pages on my blog with much more detail on each setting and create youtube videos on how to use / customize the player.  

Beta 14 does contain a new icon.  I did not change the design too much from 2.x but I did round off the triangle corners and choose a single color. Here is what the updated adaptive icon looks like:

3.4.0

By
Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
