[Q] Some annoying issues regarding the phone.

Hey,
I just got my myTouch 4G Slide, and I have a few annoying issues. It could be due to the fact that I bought it in China (it even has some apps with Chinese names).
I don't like the "genius" button - I won't use that, and it doesn't work whatsoever. Is there a way to replace its function with, say, search button (like I had on my previous Android phone)?
Music: firstly, I don't even have a music application - I have to open it with the File Explorer (so I can't multitask). Could be because it's Chinese. The main problem is that the music is played from the speaker in the back of the phone. I like to sometimes listen to music without earphones. Is it possible to play music from the same speaker I use to talk?
When I scroll the applications menu, it "jumps" rather than scrolls smoothly - kinda like the difference between scrolling with the mouse wheel, and hitting "Page Down". Is it also a Chinese issue?
Pictures: so far I'm loving the camera. The only issue is that the pictures it produces are named IMG001, IMG002 and so on. That's really annoying. Is it possible to have the pictures named like on my previous phone, which was simply the time it was taken (yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss)?
Thanks a lot for all helpers!

The music icon in the app drawer is one of the apps hidden by Rosie (Sense Launcher). /system/customize/MNS/default.xml has the hidden app list in it.
I don't know if it's possibly to play music through the front-facing speaker at this time, though there's no reason why it can't be. A fun project for someone.

Yea, that's the way it's supposed to be. I don't like it either. You have to edit the Sense launcher directly to change it.
I just spent all day digging around in a decompiled Rosie.apk (Sense launcher) pulling out Kidzone by it's teeth. I've been fixing that kind of stuff since before the sun came up today, funny you should post those questions.

Dunno about this one. I don't think it's a native option, but don't see why it couldn't be written in after the fact.

Thanks for the reply.
Firstly I think we can be sure all the things I posted in OP are solvable - simply because (I think) Android is a Turing-complete machine
As for the "genius" key, I suppose it requires root etc.? Well I guess I would have to root it sometime
For music, how do I un-hide it, then? It really makes no sense to hide such a basic application!
I hope you'll keep me and the rest of the forum updated with the other stuff mentioned. Best of luck!
Have a nice weekend,
Ron.

Can't you get google music from the market? If not, download a room, pull the apk and install it. And this phone is much much much much better rooted. Thanks six btw, enjoying the rom.

The music icon is in the media room icon, along with video player, slacker radio and a couple other items. It took me a while to find it when I got my phone last month.

You have to... i dunno wut da fuhhh T Mo did with this "OS Overlay?"

So, are there any available solutions to the presented problems (except for the first one)?
In addition, I think that when I firstly got the phone and got a call, I got two circles (accept/reject), which I had to drag to a ring (a bit similar to the lock screen). Now it just gives me the standard accept-reject buttons. I couldn't find anything about it in the settings - what have gone wrong?

I believe the answering screen alters depending on whether your screen was locked, or unlocked, at the moment you received your call. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Anyone knows why they removed the Stocks app? Or it is hidden? If hidden how to enable it?

How did you root it and what did you install in it?
I'm just a bit scared of doing that.

Just realized the screenshots wasn't appearing. Updated the first post!

Nice UI, but forced closed on log in.. and log out.
Posted from my rooted Motorola Atrix.

nice work will try .

Very nice app. Thanks.
No problems with it yet.

Uploaded Beta 5. Updated first post with changelog. Downloading at the same G+ post. Or if you're lazy, https://www.dropbox.com/s/jh512sxsqxmf349/Nine_Beta5.apk

So much win
The app itself is totally amazing, the design and theme are stunningly beautiful and smooth. Quite a beta for me.
Volume control would be perfectly nice.

really nice app. if you could add an option to save the pictures it would be great.

Thanks, you made it easier for 4chan to spam 9FAG! Im sure all the tweeners will thanks you for this.

Very nice app!
If only it was made for 4chan.

any image. Other than that, awesome. And for the guy who mentioned volume control, he wants to scroll down and up using volume buttons. Make that optional, as I hate this

Not really. Just think about, J and K in 9GAG's desktop version.
Slash that control, it must be rocker.

Alright guys. Here goes Beta 5b! It should fix the FC on scrolling. https://www.dropbox.com/s/s6mdb00ew3haax7/Nine_Beta5b.apk
Updated first post too!
Your feedbacks are all heard. I'll implement what's sensible.
As for the no connection, sometimes the server breaks down. I have yet to fine tune the server. Please try again hours later if it happens to you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yup, imagine you could skip the post you have read by volume rocker. It could be really useful.

[App] Walkman music w/ lock screen controls!

One thing that really bugs me about the stock music player is there is no lock screen controls. This is a port of the Walkman app from the experia devices which has working lock screen controls! This is not my work, please hit thank button in OT.
Find the zip file in one of the last posts and unzip and install normally.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856186

I would highly (lol) recommend flashing the ACiD Audio Mod in this same forum. The Mod comes with the an updated Walkman app and the sound quality is unreal! If you care about how ur music sounds as much as I do u need to flash the ACiD mod now!

Any reason you didn't just link to the file? I'm honestly asking because I didn't know if there was a forum rule that prevented it. I'm linking to it below so hopefully that's okay. I'll actually link to both:
Walkman App: http://www.mediafire.com/?9996trbzrjdu65g
AC!D Sound: http://www.mediafire.com/?ujfj1azabcw1ibw from --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883262

Yeah I didnt feel like going thru the XDA rules to see what was legal or not. Also didnt want to sound like im trying to take credit for anything. These guys worked hard getting this to work for us so I would rather new users go to the actual thread so they can hit the Thanks button and show some love over there. But whatever floats ur boat! That ACiD mod is insane! I hope XDA does a story about it cuz they deserve it.

I think it's more just etiquette to link the post. Because the person can get the credit, also now if it doesn't work people will ask questions here and I don't think either of you can solve any bugs from others work or many people here.

[Q] Launcher, Music, and Best Music Mod

Hey all,
I have four(4) questions for all of you!
1. Which is the single most innovative launcher that works on our SG3? I'm talking innovative. Like SSLauncher, Sweeterhome et all. Please don't say Launcher Pro and ADW and stuff
2. Does the newest versions of ADW not let u change icons? Or am i dumb enough to not be able to figure it out. Please help me.
3. When i listen to music, there is always a buzz at the start or end of a song. Like the recording buzz. How can i get rid of that? Any mod or equalizer settings?
4. The best mod Music listeners? I'm currently using Beats by Contradictor

Hey, I'm not actually part of this forum but I used to own an I5800 and played around with it for a while.
1.) Launchers? You said quite a few there already. But maybe search for something called Sliderscreen through Google (its not on Play Store anymore). Or go for Launcher 7/LauncherWP8 (if you're on 2.2+)? Those two are quite unique.
2.) Yep, the new ADW doesn't allow you to change individual icons. You'll have to find a workaround for that. I know there's an app that let's you create shortcuts to apps that allows you to select your own picture but the name escapes my memory :L I'll update my post once I find it.
EDIT: Yup, found the app. Desktop VisualiseR. The link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr
3.) I'm not quite sure of the answer. I never had a buzz whenever I listened to music. Proper equaliser presets are only available is 2.3+ I believe (or so I've seen in all those other music apps).
4.) Sorry but I don't know about this one either :/
Hope I helped though (in one way or another)

actually im looking for this, perhaps would be a "simple" music player, since having all that feature will be difficult, i mean maybe not like double twist or something like that but maybe just simple with some simple commands
i will try "attach" apollo (open source) to my layouts instead separate app
im wondering, how many people will like use "home" to bring the main app instead "home screen" mmmm

A simple music player would be great. support for flac and the usual mp3 etc. you dont need all the fancy EQ options because you would be playing it through your car stereo which has EQ anyway.
If you have a look at the Samsung drive app for example, the media buttons (play pause skip shuffle etc) are so small and not handy for driving at all. Here in Western Australia it is illegal to touch your mobile phone whilst driving, so quick large easy to read buttons are crucial. If you had, now playing/album art, large easy buttons and a large slider for skipping through a track i would be very happy and im sure others would be too. Your music player could even look similar to your main screen. now playing in the middle with the time slider down the bottom, play/pause button, forward and back buttons, and a button to take you to your song/album/playlist select section in the corners like on the main screen. lol sorry its your app im sure you have your own ideas!
Ps the built in auto turn bluetooth on is such a simple feature yet one ive always wanted and the big names havent thought of so well done. if you could spread the icons out a little under the speedo and make them shortcuts to those settings that would be cool.
PPS on the home button question maybe have the option in your settings to do either and let the user decide. the more customizable your app is the more people will like it.

My screen shot looks the same as the one previously uploaded but i attached it anyway.
If you need anyone to test any new features on an i9505 send me a pm.
Auto starting modes would be a good feature. load straight into music part of your app if you like. would be very handy for people that use NFC. NFC app loads your app which connects Bluetooth and has the music ready to go. Thats efficiency right there!

Very nice looking app... Love the weather and speed in the middle...
But having the settings button take 25% of the shortcuts on the main screen is maybe too much. I would like to set that shortcut my self and just press the menu button when I was to access settings.
Other than that... Really nice app...
