i think i mispelled it, the software mightve been called quickdesk but i uninstalled it after a few days as i found it caused my phone to lag and reboot. I normally just use widget locker if i really need media controls and ive found it to be a semi usable solution.
I would love it but u can onli have a status switch till now
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.
I made an app that lets you adjust volume in a number of apps (including Netflix, Hulu+, Gallery Video, Amazon Video, Amazon mp3) by swiping along the side of the screen. You can also turn on boost mode to adjust volume up to 140%.
Here's the apk. It's free, but does contain an ad for a paid app of mine. Since it's Open Source, you can build your own copy without this ad.
I know there is already an app that lets you adjust volume by swiping, but I thought it would be nicer to have this active only in a few apps, so it doesn't get in the way in other apps.
I eventually hope to add a feature where you can select additional apps to the list where VolumeSwipe is active, but that's for the future. But if there is some popular video/audio playing app that I've left out, let me know.
This seems cool. What's the other app you're talking about?
thanks for the work you put in.

The other app is Volume Control, I'm not sure why the OP states that the other one (volume control) gets in the way since it has an auto-hide feature.

VolumeControl hides visually, but of course it's still there even when hidden, so it will get in the way if you want to tap on something in that area of the screen in an app. Ditto for my VolumeSwipe, except that the problem is minimized by the fact that VolumeSwipe is only active in a few apps.
Also, I think the narrowness of the VolumeControl bar, even on its widest setting, might make it harder to hit (though I haven't tried VolumeControl specifically on our Kindle, since I haven't rooted our Kindle due to DMCA concerns). VolumeSwipe provides a much wider bar. I think that's probably nicer if, say, you are watching a movie at the gym.
Sounds nice. You say "a number of apps (including...)". Could we have a complete list of the apps you include? BTW, you mention that your slider is narrower than Vol Control. Vol control's slide width is adjustable in the settings

Awesome. Reminds me of Spinal Tap: These go to eleven...
Awesome app, thanks. Could you add an option to shut off the notification? Not a huge deal, but now I keep checking my notification bar thinking i got an email or text.
Also, could you add the YouTube app to the list of apps this works in if it isn't already? Thanks!
Damn you Swype!
thanks.......just what I was looking for........
Bumped ...the app has been updated ...

I don't know what you mean by auto hide. Right now, when you let go of the swipe area, it disappears. Or at least it's supposed to.
Not disappearing on mine for some reason but thats what I meant by auto hide. If you made a invisible option that would be a good solution /feature to solve my issue and anyone else who may come across it. It's a great app to have on the KF though especially for use with youtube (every vid is recorded @ diff vol levels) ... I was having to exit youtube everytime to adjust the vol (annoying) but now I can just swipe! Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, 1.01 was buggy.
I think I fixed some bugs in 1.02.
I recommend uninstalling 1.01, then rebooting, then installing 1.02.
Unfortunately, due to a bug in Android's package manager (which I reported to Google), it is necessary to turn off VolumeBoost before installing a new a version. I have not been able to find an easy way around this.
NOTE: USE BOOST ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT COULD DAMAGE SPEAKERS (especially if you turn off the non-uniform boost option in the settings).
It's officially in the Appstore.
Hi Everyone,
One of the reasons I love CM10 is that you can skip tracks without tunring on the screen with the volume rocker. I love CM10, but I thought it would be great to be able to have this in stock.
So I was searching and trying to do it myself, and found a great tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728236
BUT I have a lot of problems deodexing the files. So I wanted to ask if there is any experienced developer that could be kind enough to help us modify the android.policy.jar and just post it here so we could replace our stock one and finally have this great mod on our stock devices.
Saludos,
Gustavo
UPDATE: I managed to deodex the files using apktools. Will try to manage a way to get the hack working

Ok,
I´ve given it a try, sort of understood how to make things. But then when I try to get the /system/framework/android.policy.jar from my stock ROM and then I deodex it, I find out that its empty!! I already tried putting CM10 and extracting it, to see if I did something wrong. But no, when I get the android.policy.jar from CM10, I see it has a lot of stuff.
How can we actually mod the stock ROM? Am I doing it wrong?
If any of the more experienced DEVs would like to help, it would be great. Otherwise, I'll keep looking for info on this and when/if I find out something, I'll tell you guys.
For anyone willing to do this, I found some usefull posts with "examples" here:

Do you use any of those with stock and does it work? I have tried several apps that people say in forums that "work with longpress" but most of them work with a headphone button longpress.
What we would want with this mod is have the volume rocker of the phone sort of work as the headphone button, allowing it to longpress to skip tracks.
Yes that feature works in stock rooms using the alternative music apps... It is built into their setting check either player pro or power amp both support it... But it will only work with those music players

I have used poweramp basically since it came out, and ATM such a feature is not available. As I said, they work with headset buttons, not with the phone's volume rocker. I really do wish you could show me I am wrong.
What we would want with this mod is have the PHONE VOLUME ROCKER longpress to skip tracks. In other words, have the volume rocker work as the headset buttons.

Check the control settings for premium version of player pro.. As you see the option is there... I just have it grayed it out cuz I don't use it... It's on the lock screen part of it's settings
I just bought it and after 3 minutes I decided to get a refund.
First of all, what it does is that when you have its lockscreen activated, and the phone's screen is on the player's lockscreen replacement you can switch songs with the volume rocker, which is not really quite what i want. I want to be able to do it while the phone's screen is off (like in CM10). unfortunately CM10 does not have audio over BT which kills it off for me.
Besides I feel like Poweramp (which I have bought a long time ago) is an overall better looking player.
I got an idea, someone could test? See above!
1- Deodex your rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179009

I use an app called Gentle Alarm that has a good night clock mode. It can be configured to automatically start when the phone enters charge/dock mode. Not free, but an excellent alarm clock app that gently brings you out of sleep.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get along with the ViperOne(M8) 1.4.1 ROM I'm currently using due to the nav key issue, but I expect that to be resolved within the next 24 hours.

Daydreams can do that I believe, just set it to use Clock.
Daydream mode in your Display & gestures settings will allow that, like sfreemanoh said.
Other clock apps such as Timely will also have it, via Daydream.

If you sideload the clock.apk from stock android, it appears as an option in Daydreams (I prefer it over the HTC clock since it allows you to have multiple timer countdowns going at once). I can upload it for you if you want, just let me know.

Let me know if you can't access it, I haven't shared anything from Drive before.
Also, you may have to (since they're named the same thing in the launcher you may just want to do it anyway) freeze the existing Clock app. I did before loading this one, but I don't know if it was necessary or not.
