XenoAmp - Amazing Music Player

There are literally tons of music players on the Google Play Store and you’ve probably had to sift through them to find the one that you’ve got right now. Some of you may want a music player with a lot of functions while others prefer music players that are basic and does what they say on the tin. XenoAmp BETA not only does what it was made to do but is also aesthetically pleasing.

XenoAmp brings together design elements from the Metro UI and Android’s magazine interface, laying album art all over what seems to be a freely scrollable, boundless black background. The UI is all about using natural gestures to control playback, manage playlists, and browse through albums in a very elegant, unique, and beautiful interface.

                       

XenoAmp is an audio player with a difference (you'll know what I mean when you see it!) and while you can find all the features in official thread on XDA (and there's whole load of them!), let me point out those that make me most proud of:

- Audiogram-like headphone calibration (equalizer frequencies are set based on your amp/headphones/ears)

- Room calibration (based on microphone profiles sent by users) for times when you're      using your Android devices in docks, car or as audio sources for bigger equipment

- Replaygain support

- ViperAudio equalizer support (if available)

- Mix music music off your local files, SMB shares, Subsonic servers, Google Play, online radio or 8 tracks on single playlist(s). No matter where the file is physically, from your point of view it's just an audio track.

SuperBeam For Faster File Sharing

Connectivity in phones have been developing along with mobile phones. It started with infra-red, then came bluetooth, then NFC and now the newest is WiFi Direct. Developers have formulated a new application called the SuperBeam which provides a faster file transfer process. 

Photo Credits-Google Play Store

SuperBeam uses WiFi Direct to share any file stored on the device with another device, this is possible on a device that runs Android 4.0 or later. If your device runs an older version of Android, the application will automatically switch to hotspot mode. You can pair the devices using QR codes or NFC, you do not need to install an QR reader application because it has an inbuilt QR scanner. Another feature that SuperBeam boasts is the ability to use an existing WiFi network to connect and share files between devices.


Features:

Share files between devices using NFC or QR code scanning.
Blazing fast transfer speeds using WiFi direct.
Switches to hotspot mode automatically for devices that doesn't support WiFi direct.
Can use existing WiFi network connection between devices.
Share single or multiple files of any type (photos, videos, zip files, APK's)
Works with all 3rd party file managers and photo galleries.
Light and dark color themes.
Advanced settings


WiFi direct doesn't play well with custom ROMs. Please follow these steps to switch to hotspot (tethering) mode if WiFi direct is causing you issues:
Open SuperBeam scanner.
Tap options > settings.
Tap Advanced settings > Preferred direct method.
Choose Hotspot.
Close SuperBeam and try sharing again.

This application is available for free on Google Play Store.
