[Q] iPhone-like music controls - Android Apps and Games

Would it be possible to use a hardware track pad (if equipped) to simulate the same thing the iPhone/iPod touch used to do on a double click, that is bring up music controls with a volume slider, Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Song title and Artist? Sorry If this is wrong section.

That's a great idea. I'd like to know too if that's possible

Idk if you would be able to use the track pad as it would likely just select what you have up on your screen but I think if someone coded it as a homescreen replacement and used the same workaround other devs have for other homescreen additives and let you select your homescreen in the app they make and then that be the one home press and have the music controls be the double press home... or have it as the long press on search and not have any of the home type stuff

bump.
this is a great idea.

Power Strip? I think you could do exactly what you want with the Power Strip app. Not sure if you can use trackpad click though but you can launch it from anywhere using a double-click home button, or other option, and have it overlay your music app widget on top of whatever screen you're on so you can change tracks and whatnot.

Does not work for me. Tried all device inputs.

Yeah, noticed it stopped working for me too. You can still use pie controls
Edit: Got it working with input 2 again (actually just made it more responsive). Changed the min scores to 50% and 5 touch points.

Is there a app that is a lite of LMT launcher, only have Piecontrol and hide/unhide navigation bar? Thanks!
Aha, great design.
Force closes a lot here. I only want to use the pie as shortcuts, ICS Browser has something similar (in fact it looks the same) for web browsing shortcuts and love it.

[Application] GoHome for CM9

Hi guys,
I want to share my application called GoHome which should help to use Galaxy Note on the go.
I've wrote and shared this application not for the money. It helps me to hold Galaxy Note with one hand and use it with comfort.
This application duplicates menu, home, back navigation buttons.
If you on the go it's better to swipe on the top than try to press Home button by thumb.
This is a beta version (design is not ready for preferences).
It has been verified on CM9 (some functionality will not work for GB (back, menu), I'm working on it)
I'll upload it into market soon.
Application itself is completely invisible. Preferences show four color areas where you should pull.
Preferences screen and howto:

What does it do? The pictures aren't loading....
Sorry for picture. I've fixed url.
It duplicates home, back, menu buttons. But all this is on the top of screen. It helps you to avoid pressing to physical home button which is hard to press on the go (with one hand)
for gb its okay but for ics?? navigation bar has the same options??

Yep, it was written for ics. Unfortunately my Galaxy Note is a single recorder what I have. I'll shoot video asap.

Dude you forgot one thing.
ICS doesn't need the Home button to be held down. Just hit the "Tasks" button, voila!
Its faster than yours.
Anyways thanks for this, it should be useful.
Especially for those that swap out the "Tasks" button for the Menu button.
But now on most custom roms (eg AOKP) you can customize the Nav-buttons and give them gestures: eg swipe up on Menu button to launch "Tasks" list.

[Q] Modifying Motion Gestures

I use double tap to wake almost exclusively to turn my screen on, but I find some of the other HTC motion gestures annoying or problematic. For example, I have pulled my phone out of my pocket, while accidentally holding a volume button, and the camera app opened. This is generally an annoyance, but I have had this occur in a dark room followed by blinding everyone near me with the flash. I'm using ViperOneM8 at the moment, but didn't see an option to selectively enable these gesture controls.
Under display and gestures in settings.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I want to disable to landscape+volume to turn on camera, but I want to keep double tap to wake. I don't see any option to do that.

Completely agree with you; I find myself triggering voice calls more frequently than I'd like. Unfortunately, the current ROM only permits "all" or none with the motion gestures (hopefully they'll fix that if enough folks complain).

I believe that option is in the camera app settings.

That setting only affects the volume button function while the screen is already on.
It is a all or none approach as a previous poster stated as far as I can tell. Can wait until the devs figure out how to mod that.

Works very well, as developer promised, but will be better if you keep pressed the volume button to change track instead of single press to do that. It's a bit annoying at least for me hahahaha
Anyway, keep on dev. you did a great job for non rooted devices!

I would have done that if possible, but it is not possible to detect long press of volume keys in non rooted android devices . User will have to use it for atleast 2 days to master it.

Volume Widget Display Volume Levels?

Hey guys what's up, I have been in search of an app that will show volume levels like the old Audio Manger app would do before they discontinued it.

I have tried Audio Guru but that widget does not update as the levels change.
thanks for any help!

If you mean the volumes levels as in the volume level of ringtones, bluetooth, etc.., you should have that already. When you press the volume button up or down and the volume slider pops-up on the screen, there is a drop down button on the slider, tap it and you'll get a pop-up showing your other volume levels.

I've been sporadically looking for a replacement as well. (Yes, I am aware of the volume slider+tap) We are talking about a widget that offers an "at a glance" display on the screen widget showing the current levels like in the OPS's 1st screenshot

I think I found a 3rd party app that has a widget like you want. Go to Playstore, do a search for "The Control Volume Widget".
