Hello XDA Community,
I think this would be the right place to post this but if it isn't please move/delete this thread. Thanks.
Just thought it might be cool to build an application that displays song lyrics of what's currently playing in the status bar or possibly Nav bar.
I've done some looking around for this kind of an app/module for a little while now but I haven't seemed to find anything. I'm defiantly not new to android but I don't know how to build applications so I thought it may be a good idea to see if you guys would know how to do anything like this or could tell me if something like this is even possible.
I would imagine that it would be something like building an app that reads the lyrics from something like an .SRT file and displays them at the right time in the status/navigation bar.
I'd like to hear what you guys may think of this idea or if you know that someone has made something like this before so I know if it may be worth looking into.
Thanks!
Official Genius app is able to find the song You are listening to, and display notification if it has proper lyrics in database. You still have to click the notification to see them trough :-/

post em'. new ideas guys, let me hear it..
I've been rather inactive on the forums lately (life is catching up with me ), and reading through a hundred extra pages doesn't seem logically fathomable for me to do.
A contacts app that matches the dialer app on the H build would be nice. But as far as usefull i cant think of anything right now.
The ability to shoot lasers.
well i upgraded myself from touchpro to g1 and one thing that i really miss is Flash player support and equalizers in music player.
guys pls do them. and i think that my voice will be echoed by many.
hoping that we will beat iphone iconic status one day as this plateform as enormous poential
thanks
I would really like widgets ...Weather Stocks...and such
any feature we want? how about if we tap the edge of the screen, a little virticle bar comes up on the side of the screen where we can control volume, and maybe on the other side of the screen, a bar to adjust the brightness. would be convenient, but there are volume buttons on the side of the phone lol, but still, some apps don't change the appropriate volume.
how about a seem edit to make the phone a little louder? i'm sure that it can get much louder. i dont know how throughly you can edit these builds.
will add stuff later.
Multitouch!
I second that.... multi-touch, at least in browser, hopefully in maps as well.
Umm H build is perfect lol, but umm adding the multitouch code to the browser wont hurt.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL ADOBE RELEASES SOMETHING. I don't think haykuro is offering to make new programs for you. Don't be stupid. He's asking you what he can do to the builds to make them better. For an example, like somebody mentioned a GOOD IDEA and SOMETHING HE CAN DO: MULTITOUCH. Because he can modify a few files and somebody has already done it in a previous build, thus he can do it in this build. Correct me if I'm wrong. My heck people, enough whining for things like Flash Players. Don't you think that if it was so easy to do, it would have been done before? Haven't you morons figured out that having a GOOGLE phone, you could simply use GOOGLE for searching? Wow, that's a crazy idea, right? Using Google? Half you numbskulls could find what you're actually complaining about if you used it.
If you loved your HTC Pro blah blah blah whatever the crap it was, use that phone and stop complaining and asking for things that aren't going to happen until Adobe comes out with it. Go bug Adobe for it. Or Google. No developer is going to do it for you.
use the HTC VK as the default
focus on fixing the background noise during calls
multitouch would be awesome
i will update with more later...
@ankjain
Boy... I would like Flash too... lets hope Adobe pulls through with it's promise
this is a for fix for an issue I have not found elsewhere.
I have noticed with Bluetooth enabled listening to my A2DP headset (Plantronics A590)although the buttons on the headset work, they automatically start up the default music app when pressed... even if I am using another app.... So currently I am forced to use either the default music app, or use the controls on the phone not the headset.
Some sort of built in setting (like in open home or DXtop) to be able to select from multiple themes and icon sets and the ability to hide them in the drawer like open home.
an app switcher that can be re-located to the bar like in the app bar-control or can be used with a button combo.
Thanks for all of your hard work, I am very satisfied being able to use build currently... fixes are always welcome and improvements are a bonus
Bring back some how the
"Myfavs"
Zoom on browser
More widgets.
try fixing the quality of the pictures displayed when receiving a call... they are very pixelated
Is there anything available that can put in a music widget (play/pause next and song title/artist) that can go in the notification area?
I know there are a handful of Power Control widgets that have been able to be put in the notification but I'm looking for a way to change/pause songs without having to always leave the app (browser/certain games/ etc.) that I am currently using.
I have a fully rooted HTC Evo with Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 (but i change roms often as I am trying to find one that fits my needs best) If a music widget can be put in the notification area that would be great!
-Sorry if this has been developed already, I've been searching for a while and cant find it anywhere thank you to all who help out I'm kind of new to this scene.
I am curious to know if others find this useful and will add a poll to this to hopefully see if it's something people want.
try MixZing

Not Quite
Nice app, but not what I'm looking for, what i want specifically is in the *Notification* area, I'm looking for play/pause and next song buttons for when I pull down the notification bar, so I don's have to leave the browser just to change songs or pause.
I'm not sure what phone you have but CM7 has this
Touchwiz builtin music player has one, but I don't know if it has been ported to other devices.
Nope it has not been ported.. :c
btw touchwiz has the best music player for android right now
**** Samsung and their strong framework thingys D:!
Did a quick search, found nothing to answer my question.
I'm wondering if there's an app, specifically a 4x1 widget, that I can use to update my status on social networking sites. I'm not interested in reading other peoples updates (I'll go into the appropriate app for that); I simply want something akin to the google search bar.
So far the best thing I've found is TweetDeck, but it's far from the prettiest duckling. Before anyone mentions it, 'Simple Status Widget' is a ghastly, low-res pop-up.
If there's nothing knocking around then I guess I'll try my hand at making one
[EDIT] I should say that Google + is a fine, though not quite perfect example of what I seek. I mean, why give me a text box if tapping it only takes me to a new screen?
This is inspired by robo4130 geeky way of professing his love for his soon to be wife. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771509
I thought about making an application that does a similar thing, without having to bother about a LWP. Gratz btw robo.
The app has most of the functionality I was going for, but the UI needs a huge revamp.
Current features :
- Add a name to the message
- Add up to four lines showcasing your love
-- Each line is separately added
- Add a personalised message
--Default is 'Will you marry me?' , but this can be changed to 'Will you go out with me?' etc
- Option to add a personalised background
- Set the app to display your message on application startup
If you guys like it, I could add in sounds and UI changes and some wallpapers included in app.
I have narrowed down most bugs, but if you find any, please post here.
I tried to it out on my samsung infuse running cm9. It works well. If i understand the concept a person goes in beforehand and sets it up with their words. Then when you are ready to show it you start the app then press start and the words appear on the screen?
I understand its a basic start but its a good start you have going. I would definitely like to see some ui enhancements and some sound. Maybe even let you pick a chopped mp3 sound. Or include a couple premade sounds that are timed with when the words appear on the screen. And a live wallpaper effect for a background would be neat too.
I did notice that it displayed the text in the upper left part of my screen. Any way to get it centered in the middle?
Good luck and thanks.

@skyliner
Thanks very much.
I will try to make the UI look nicer Inshallah.
Main problem might be sounds. Firstly, I am not experienced with SFX and I have just a faint idea of where to find them copyright free. I found a neat website but I am not sure if it will have the sounds that I'm looking for. I wil probably use specific tracks and not unique effects because they are easier to find.
If anyone has any that I can add, it would be much appreciated.
Secondly, timing I think is crucial. I will try to make it spot on. I would love to hear/see a lovey-dovey song playing in the background while a dude sits on his knees and hands his (soon to be) wife an Android phone with those 4 magic words displayed on the surface
Regarding the text placement.
That is just temporary. So many times before I have made an app and have thought of posting but have always given up due to laziness and my short attention span.
I nearly went to sleep mid way so decided to post as is.
I hope to have 2 options. One. display in the middle. Two. Display it diagonally.
I could also make option to add hearts, roses, chocolates etc. Anything that raises the odds of getting the right answer

Sorry haven't posted something updated version, am in bed with flu.
Hey guys. After I saw some pics of the new note edge, I came to a idea: wouldn't it be great if we could have notifications on the navbar?
I wonder if there's any module of xposed installer that would allows us to have something like that? Or perhaps a mod?? If so, where can I find it?
Thanks a lot for the attention
Perhaps if you describe some more details of your idea someone may pick the project and code it.
Where would you place them? How would you interact with them?
Let's say that you wouldn't interact, just scrolling /showing in the navbar,.
There's one project already called: xtended navbar which turns your navbar into three pages : one for the virtual buttons, another for media buttons, and another for quick settings. Perhaps by removing the quick settings, and change it into something like what I've just described.
Does this make any sense to you?
Ie : let's say that you're watching a movie or playing a game and you receive a notification, and you just wanna know what made you phone ring or vibrate. Then the notification would show up in the navbar, by making some text scrolling up in one page of the navbar.
I know that I can always enable heads-up, but I thought in something more small and useful.
Btw : once you clean the notification from the status bar it would be gone from the navbar as well.
Hope you got the idea.
Thanks a lot for the attention
