[APP][4.0+] Mediaserver Killer - Android Apps and Games

Mediaserver Killer
Hi guys,
probably you know, that the "Mediaserver battery draining bug" still exists (Just google it...).
I´ve seen, there are already some ways to kill Mediaserver with scripts, flash, copy to...but no app, that does that.
So here it is, a free app for the comfortable user
What this app does:
# Kill Mediaserver whenever you want/need
1.) When default lockscreen unlocked
2.) Certain time interval/schedule
What you need:
# Root required
Download Mediaserver Killer from Playstore
# You just need to give Mediaserver Killer Superuser access (remember choice forever) and disable Superuser notification toast or statusbar.
That´s all.
# I may implement other options if needed

Amazing work bud, using it right now. Keep up:good:

Just a noob question, I need to add some especial apps(like phone or sms, camera.. app) to "ignore list"? I mean, is there any app that if, you don't add it, may cause any problem with the phone behavior. I don't add any app yet.

Actually,you do not need to add any apps...if you, for example, listen to some music, kill Mediaserver......you will notice the killing.

So, if I'm listening music, when mediaserver is killed doesn't interfere with the music(music doesn't stop or something like that)?

For me is more than 1 second, so I add my music player (PlayerPro) to ignore list & now is fine. No problem adding the mp to ignore list, right?

Right, as long as your music player is in use, you won't kill mediaserver.

Add the phone app (& you can add sms app too) to ignore list. That happens maybe cause the ringtones are scaned by MS & add your music player to the list too.

If one uses an alarm app, it's good to add this to ignore list!

An app that will keep track of my work schedule

I would like an app that will let me track my work schedule and clock on and out to keep track of my hours. There are a couple of apps in the market but they are cumbersome and way to complicated for the simple task I am looking for haha.
Can anyone reccommend something?

For your schedule use the calendar app it sync with your google account and you can see it online that'd what I used
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I use Time Recording. The interface is a little confusing at first, but it works well once you get used to it.
Does it fall into your "cumbersome and way to [sic] complicated" category? If so, what kind of basic features are you looking for? Just something with a "clock in" and "clock out" button that will track time?

Time recording looks like a nice application. Really, the only app that is cumbersome is my work schedule. It'll let you put in preset times but not let you enter your schedule manually. I could use the built in calendar to keep track of my schedule but that is too many steps to take every time I need to add a new time on a new day.

Yeah I tried that but as far as I can tell you can only schedule preset times that you put in beforehand. It works, but the way my work schedule is I am always having to go in and add more presets. I think calendar will work nicely.

Broken active apps widget?

Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Hi there, i am the developer of active apps. It appears that the widget active apps 1x1 is bugged.in the area you just mentioned.
I will provide a fix for that soon. Meanwhile you can enable control panel in widget. On pop up, Click on second button to switch mode.
Please send me email for the bug next time as the original thread has been deleted by mod.
Thanks.

It has just been fixed and uploaded to the market now. Let me know if the same bug still occur.
Btw, There will be two small buttons on pop up if you enable the control panel from the widget.
1st one is to kill all
2nd is switch between mode. Kill or switch.
So when you click on the app, it should act as according to the mode you choose.
Give it a try.
And thanks. .hope the app did help you in someway or another.
Thanx, switching in popup works great now, the control panel switching between kill and switch does not work tho... it's still allways switching no matter what i choose.
I love this app / widget....

I heard that google did something about that. It was carried by an app(s) that you downloaded. Apparently, they told the app devs to take them off in a certain timeframe, or else they'll be removed from the play store. And ad blocker apps, that I know of, can't block those ads either. At least, adfree doesn't.

It's true, but with adaway you can select the option "scan for adaware". It' simple, it can tell you the adware app or apps you have installed. The second solution is usin rom toolbox with the option autostart manager and find the app. Then you must long press the app, go to advanced and disable some receivers of the app. For example "Airmob". This isn't very simple, but with a few try you can stop these annoying ads in the statusbar. I did this with Mosquito killer and now it works. Usually it FC when it must send you an ad in the statusbar, but the app works fine.

[APP][3.0+] Testers needed for mobile MrtzcMP3 app [FREE]

I just finished a beta version of the mobile MrtzcMP3 app and I actually only have a tablet to test it on. I hate working with the Android Device Emulator, so can any of you guys test the app for me on your Android 3.0+ phones? Thanks!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bdb.android.mrtzcmp3.free
And? Any first impressions?
Oh come on! Nobody who wants to help me with this?
Seems good no probs, one thing I like tho is to be able to see the bitrate but other than that awesome for a beta

Thanks man, glad to know it works fine on a phone we're working on bitrate, should be there in the next update!
New version
Version 1.3 now in Google Play Store.
New functions:
- Bitrate
- Bug fixes
Pretty nice app. It's still simple and we can't stop the preview but it has great potential. I haven't tested download function as I don't have anything to download but I see many stuff that could be useful.
It's a little bit too much Google Ads, and I would like to see this program as a good online music player. So basic functions should be included like controls, and add to favorites button. What I mean is something like spotify or grooveshark without having to pay for playing music. I'm going to subscribe this thread as I'm wating for more functions

Preview is at the moment indeed just a small part of the song. So, if I understand correctly, you can't find the song after downloading it? Should be in the Music-folder in your SD-card?
-If you want to search for a song and the keyboard appears, you can't see the text field anymore
- text hover problem
- you can't play downloaded song
What the app needs :
+Choose downloaded folder
+Open downloaded song with external player
+less ads
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Nice app, but I miss the bitrate, the Albumcover, search history and you should be able to set the destination folder for the downloads. And the downloading procress should be done in background. Maybe you could also make something like a download list so you can download more songs at once.
And of course it would be great if you could stream a song and make a playlist like in YouTube.
I really linke your work and hope you keep in improoving it and make it eaven greater
I actually bought this app, been looking for something like this for a while. What folder is the default download folder? Ability to change that, and also keep the downloads in the background so you can keep on searching for songs and download them.

I think I know what your problem is...try using the app "media utilities". So now when you set up the hotspot mode you can verify each hotspot to the corresponding action.

Better Explanation
Use 'Media Utilities". Click on the widget (while hotspot is of)> Backgrounds>choose Hotspot> choose 'hotspot #1 and choose shortcut>media utilities action>then 'previous'. Do the same with the play and forward with their corresponding buttons.
I dont have media utilities under the shortcuts and the hotspots are allready assainged as previous and play/pause and next but they dont work exept for the play but it opens up my player pro and starts to play music.
