AMP+ gets it's first update & AMP hits 10,000 downloads!

Finally, after a ton of testing, heaps of late nights and long weekends, I've updated AMP+.

I've had a heap of e-mails, and I've been busy improving AMP+ accordingly. I try to choose some of the things I'd like to see myself, some of the most requested features, and admittedly some of the stuff that's easier to do, as I've been pressed for time lately. The big one is themes. After a heap of time working on the layout, I'm pleased to say they're ready.

By the way, I saw Django Unchained. I know I'm jumping on the bandwagon here, but it was a freaking amazing movie. I've also been distracted reading the 3rd book of 'a song of ice and fire'.. Watching the AMP/AMP+ downloads grow has kept me focused though, and I'm happy with what I've achieved since the last update.

Here's a preview of the 'mixed' theme:

I've also managed to fix a whole bunch of issues with the equalizer. It's been particularly temperamental on custom roms, but hopefully that's resolved now. If the AudioManager is not accessible on your device, it should still work with a custom preset, and the values of that preset should be remembered by AMP+. At the very least, it shouldn't force close anymore. 

Scrobbling support has been included, by way of 'Simple Last.FM Scrobbler'. Fortunately the developer Adam Renberg has done a fantastic job with that, and it was simple to integrate.

I've also re-worked the settings menu, reversed the gesture controls, added a search function, improved the back button functionality, and ironed out a bunch of other bugs.

AMP has passed 10,000 downloads, which is amazing! I'm overwhelmed at the numbers. Here's a graph and a lovely pie-chart to prove it.. I know you guys love pie-charts.


















Anyway, that's my bit for now. I hope you enjoy the update, and as always, drop in your feedback if you have the time.
