I use an old phone as an mp3 player.

EVERY single music player app I could find was too heavy on it. Animations, needless graphics, bloated formatting for smaller screens, poor response time when listing tracks. This app solves all those problems.

If he takes my one suggestion to allow the app to be used as a launcher so the phone boots directly into the player, it will be the only app on the market like it.

Okay, it got pushed through. Installed it on the Wildfire. Hangs on the main screen probably because I have 11,000+ tracks on my SD Card all in the root /music folder ;) So I'm gonna sort everything (have Tag & Rename to move everything to folders for me, no biggie) and get back to you. It runs fine, shows the Launcher intent and the persistent notification brought me to a screen with a shuffle button... So everything else worked exactly as it should. Seriously dude, I'm so surprised nobody had bothered to think of "single purposing" apps like this for older devices. As is, this takes a lot of pain out of reducing overhead (no launcher + widget needed) for older devices. Everything else can be launched with a notification widget bar like with Power Toggles. ICS+ has Settings in the notification bar as well. Just to be on the safe side, I would put a "reset default Launcher" switch in the settings menu.

Implemented in the launchermode branch.
