Every version of software on this is slooow-ish to some point.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always preferred my phones to my Galaxy Player 5.0 since they have better &#8216;insides&#8217; and software. Snappy and responsive.<\/p>\n<p>Point 1: I hate Touch Wiz.<\/p>\n<p>Point 2: I hate Android GingerBread.<\/p>\n<p>I like the feel of the Galaxy Player. It&#8217;s just a nice device with a not so great chip, and limited ability to upgrade it with custom roms. But it can be done, so of course I did it day 1. Bricked my first one, replaced it, and have, several times, re-rommed it.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time I did have other roms and changed something in property files to use my SD external card as my internal. That was great, but I didn&#8217;t like the slowness of the devices action on those ROMS.<\/p>\n<p>Getting CM 10 on it changed it. I didn&#8217;t bother with the internal\/external trick anymore. I eventually put CM 11 on it. Recently it just got to me and did more research.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the reason I&#8217;m writing this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/xposed\/modules\/mod-music2sd-v1-7-1-make-google-play-t2414467\" title=\"Xposed Framework and Music2SD\" target=\"_blank\">Xposed Framework and Music2SD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got this done easily last week. It all seemed good, at first, but then every day Google Music was re-downloading everything.<\/p>\n<p>I did more research, and it wasn&#8217;t just me. I deleted that Music2SD module and then looked in the Xposed Installer app for an older version of the Muisc2SD Module,  1.6.1, <---- that one is as solid as the day is long.\n\nI have found that leaving WiFi on kills battery faster, of course, but even more so, it causes gulpy, gluppy, slowdown gulps in my music. I had to have as much of my music downloaded as possible to listen happily.\n\nThis means I can't scrobble on the fly. Simple Scrobbler is fine with that. I have it set now to scrobble later, every 10 songs, and if WiFi is off, it'll hold them in queue until I turn WiFi on, then instantly my stats are on last.fm profile. \n\nEven playing downloaded music with wifi on is glitchy sounding. I'm streaming to a BEATS Pill usually. I have to try a few tests and see if it's like that connected with the cable to the same speaker, and also to other devices, cable and\/or bluetooth.\n\nI have a Philips Android Bluetooth Speaker by my bedside. I don't recall it flipping out at all. I can't be sure though, so ... I'll report back in another post with my findings later.\n\nOn CM 10 I did have Greenify app running. I don't on CM 11. I guess I'll have to try that. Plus I do have all notification OFF. Anything to minimize interference with my music!\n\nMusic playing and streaming from WiFi to Bluetooth BEATS PILL works flawlessly on my Nexus 5 phone. Of course it does, KitKat wonder that it is. :)\n\nSo CM 11 on Galaxy Player 5.0 feels great with no WiFi on. It slows down a bit the more that's going on. Looking at settings and all, that is snappy enough. Play music and there are some delays, but I'm used to it, though I know the other side of how it works on my KitKat Nexus 5. I have to have a player separate from my phone. I just need that. Not to talk on the phone, just need a consistent Player that can scrobble. I need that battery ability of the player, with my phone filling in the gaps. I'm so glad I have my Galaxy Player 5.0 able to download and keep all that music on it now. 32GB card was sitting there wasted.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Galaxy Player 5.0 is running CM 11 and I like it like this, but it&#8217;s sloggy-ish to me, not that it never was.
