Keep video playing in background when switching app - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hi there,:laugh:
Apologies for the Noob question, but can anybody please tell me how to enable it so that my video will continues to play in the background if I open another application like the equalizer or amplifier application?
it is a little annoying when you would like to set the equalizer but the playback stops as soon as you open the eq application.
Thanks in advance
Ernest

Found it. Never mind. Lol
Need to change an entry in Build.prop
Change "ro.product.backgroundvideo" from false to true

[APP] Soft Screen Tuner

Soft Screen Tuner
current version 0.8 beta

Abandoned, because don`t work with ICS firmwares and I have no idea, how fix it at now
Allows you to adjust the RGB values​​, change the sharpness and color temperature for Dynamic, Standard and Movie modes.
All changes are applied immediately.
This is not a service or background process.
After making changes you can uninstall the app and settings will stay in.

i was changing temperature and sharpness but got force close and cant remmember what exactly was changed :/ here link of my video, sorry for crap quality, was taking video with nokia 6720, maybe it doesnt show clearly but no more banding for me http://www.mediafire.com/?ijksasdo9i6ba0c
Im also getting the force close LOL but my colors are not screwed up but no difference now between standard and dynamic, looks like its stuck to dynamic ~_~
Doesn't look much different to Screen adjuster.
There doesn't appear to be a gamma curve calibration which is what is really needed.
so any suggestion to reset settings? now im getting only force closes :/
I Can't even try.
When I click the "download" link I end-up with this

i think this program can be very usefull fpr galaxy note. I made some settings within color banding became not so big. Please test my solution and say is it better a bit. Firstly go to settings-display-screen mode and choose dynamic.Download attached zip file,extract and then overwrite files to system/etc. Go to settings again and choose standart and then reboot your phone. Please test this and leave feedback.

crashes when I try to launch it on my Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) (Android 2.3.6)
Tried the APP and no FC.
I can adjust color temp. Playing with other settings does nothing on my phone.
the IM2 movie plays pretty nicely on my note color banding wise. I only have some black clipping in some of the deepest dark areas at the end of the sequence.
Cannot test it
somehow not compatible with Speedmod kernel ...force closes....
Any good values to try? I know it is subjective but would be nice to know.
I think that voodoo screen tuning app doesnt work anymore after installing this app. can anyone confirm?

I went with values halfway between Standard and Dynamic. So only upped sharpness and saturation. Dynamic is just too much but this is a happy medium. My settings don't address black banding. Go with Movie mode settings for that remedy. But even then this app does not adjust gamma so it will only go so far

[Q] controll which app produces sound

Hi, i have a question/problem thats been bugging me for a while and i couldnt find a solution...
I want to be able to listen to music while playing a game/ using an app, now some apps are ok with this and "shut up" the moment you start playing music, but others, such as kingdom rush for example, shut down the music playback the moment you open the app.
Is there a method to controll wich app produces sound? Much like on the pc?
Thats in advance for your help =]
(Also i read some where that the best way to get an answer is not to ask a question but instead provide the wrong answer, so here goes: ANDROID SUCKS BECAUSE THERES NO WAY TO CONTROL WHICH APP PRODUCES SOUBD!! =] )
Hello @Moldat
Firstly, this can be quite easily achieved if you're running a device with Android 4.4.
I'm not sure if "App Ops" is available on lower android versions. But if you're on KitKat, you can simply go into App Ops, scroll through the apps, find you game. And turn off the "Media Volume".
This stops the game from using inbuilt music and sound fx. This means you can keep your music on in the background.
Hope this helped, if you need to ask anything else, please do so.

Oh you're in luck mate, go to the play store and search for "App Ops" download and install it. There are many choose the one that you feel like having. And its pretty much the same procedure, scroll lthrough apps and disable the media volume.

Is there an app that allows me to make the phone look like a tablet?

Basically what the title says, I was wondering if there is an app (or xposed module) that allows me to trick an app into thinking that the device is a tablet...
If anyone is asking why would I want an app like this, I mainly want this because of spotify... I cannot stand listening to certain songs, but I cannot skip them because I don't want to pay 5 € a month for something I can have for free...
If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it
You could try the Xposed module App Settings to set a custom DPI for Spotify app. If you do it right, then the app should think that it's running on a tablet and hopefully it'll use a tablet UI.
Sent from my GT-I9070
Never mind, the solution to the problem is tabletmetrics...
Just enable it on xposed, reboot and poof! I can listen to whatever I please
Now Spotify do Not allow to reproduce the music I want, it force me to listen playlist randomized. Any idea?

Turn off Camera sound?

Is there a way to turn off the sound that happens when you take a picture with the camera?
Thanks

If the Camera App doesn't have that option under Settings and your phone is rooted, you can disable it using a
root explorer App and navigate to: system/media/audio/ui
and rename the file "camera_click.ogg" to whatever you want.
This isn't really a solid solution to your problem (could be a hassle to you), but if you put your phone on silent or vibrate you will not hear the shutter sound go off! This works for me as because my phone is always in vibrate mode from the moment I wake up, however like i said not a solid solution if you don't prefer silent or vibrate mode.
Just mute your ringer. It works, at least in EU version.

The option doesn’t exist in the settings. Muting the phone before every time I use the camera is too much of a nuisance since I keep the sound on for other apps.
So, since my phone is rooted, your option of renaming the sound file is the best one for me. Tried it and it worked perfectly.
Thank you!

The option in settings is a custom ROM feature that some ROMs have. Keep in mind that removing the .ogg won't disable the sound for the HDR+ mode in Google Camera, as its embedded into the apk. You could use a Tasker profile to mute it when your camera app is open, too.

I purchased Tasker long ago, just to support the author, but to my shame I have not yet learned how to use it...... ?
That would indeed be a good use for Tasker. Maybe I will find a ready made profile (if that's what they are called) that someone else donated.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry man. Just now seeing this. I'll try tomorrow. No promises though. I'm pretty good with tasker but I think this one will be a challenge. 1st part will be easy. 2nd part will be a bit more tricky

OK here you go man. Let me know if you have any issues. I did test it. If you have notification sound issues while this profile is active (only while in camera app) let me know. I'll find a workaround.
Make sure you remove the .XML extension (leave the .prl). Move to SDCARD/Tasker/Autoimport. Relaunch Tasker.

Be careful with it, it is illegal in some countries to shut up camera sound when you take pics. To answer your question, i dont know, but i'm french and i don't have played sound when i take pics.

Increase Your Stereo Effect and Loudness on your Speaker

Hello friends, after spending more time with my mi 10 codename umi I have found a way to get more stereo effect from your beloved speakers of mi 10 and better visual quality when watching videos too. Now you need to go to settings and special features then click video tools and there you can see manage video apps and add any music or video playing apps to use this feature and that's so you can get those tools by opening the desired app that you selected in toolbox settings and if you're on that music or video app just you might able to see that transparent shortcut at the edge of the screen and swipe right or left to open tooltbox from there you can actually click sound and video filters and then you can customise it according to your needs x
If you're a super user you can get viper with MAGISK installed and I have already made a post about it .. You can check it by going this link and thank you
