Is there any kind of separate app sound app for non samsung Android phones? - General Questions and Answers

I would like to know if currently there is a way to get Samsung´s separate sound feature like this one on other Android phones, in my case an OnePlus phone. Also, if it´s possible to modify android to also allow multiple audio app playback (like playing spotify and youtube at the same time).
Is it already possible or it would really require some kind of audio engine redesign? Couldn´t this work with magisk modules and root?

If what you are asking about is a Samsung specific feature, you will not be able to use it because Samsung specific apps and features only work with Samsung stock software.

Music apps

Hi is there anyone notice about the music apps frequently change or stop the music automatically when you lock the phone?
And at times it automatically call my phone contacts...

Not to completely hijack, but I too have a question about a music player and don't want to put up a new thread:
Does anyone have a recommendation for an app that is: low-resource, devoid of lockscreen freezing/dialing (no exp with this, but above poster made it sound terrible), and supports control via a2dp/bluetooth?
I frequently use my phone as my GPS in my car and would like to be able to run a music app in the background that I can control from a bluetooth headset. I assume that there are some "simple" music apps that require fewer resources in the background.
Does anyone have a recommendation? Is the sensation powerful enough that any old app should run fine in the background?
Best,

PowerAMP hands down is the best application I have used, and trust me, I lost count of how many different ones I have tried. It isn't cheap though at $4.99, but give the 2 week FULL trial a test drive and see if you like it. I liked it so much I bought it. It has all the features you requested above.

Disable Audio Ducking

I'm wondering of there is an easy effort that I can do to disable the volume duck that occurs when I receive a notification (while listening to music)
Some ROMs have a setting g for this, but I'm wondering if someone could direct me to the proper file I might edit and turn this feature OFF..
I like my notification sound to just play over the music, or just not bother me..
Thx.

Pretty sure this has to do with what app you're using for playing music, and whether it uses the mediaplayer of your device or it's own custom one.
it's true, I hated the ducking but was able to disable it in PowerAMP settings.

Yeah, PowerAMP uses its own media service.
Is there a music player that has this feature that doesn't cost money? I'll pay for Poweramp if there isn't. VLC for Android, for instance, doesn't have this feature.
Edit: After some trial and error with various programs, I've discovered that MX Player plays back audio without ducking, but a drawback is that it doesn't have dynamic playlist creation capabilities (you need your files ordered in folders). It also plays Opus files, which is something that I was also looking for.
Another app, Rocket Player, will let you choose *between* ducking and pausing (under Settings->Sound->Audio Focus->Temp Focus Action), but it won't let you disable the action completely. That being said, I've found that for audio books and podcasts, I actually prefer pausing to ducking or no ducking, so I like Rocket Player in this respect (same goes with Poweramp).
guys,COS 12+ has this option in their OS. the question is there any xposed modules to do the same action like in COS ?? ( I'm not sure if it's available in CM12+ roms or not ) any idea?
Dirty unicorn have this feature and its working great.

[App Mod Request] Google Play Music All Access Streaming

Hi everyone!
I wanted to check in and see if anyone knows that it may be possible to get Play Music on our speaker sporting watches at least with All Access streaming as now we have all the tools to do so including wifi and speaker support and would love to be able to stop having to sync specific albums to the storage all the time to use it. This would be a pretty popular app and I would definitely pay for one like this.
Anyone else think they would enjoy a mod or app like this to play music. I think spotify can do this on the watch but I don't have a subscription to spotify and wanna stick with my google play music. :highfive:
I am currently on a Huawei Watch.
So, a quick off the cuff maybe may be in order...
Here is why...
First, those of us without speakers may not miss out on this either what with full Bluetooth support already here. ...
Second, we can already install apps using adb. We can also install those appsm to specific folders. This is easier with watches thatmplkug in through USB, but all wear watches support adb so installing the Google software is possible. We can probably install play music directly.
Third, though our watches do not all have native direct wifi support, many do, and I am guessing it is going to be supported by the 1.4 OS. However, even if it is not, if you install an app in your /system folder, it can access wifi directly as it needs.
Fourth, and here is where the good news ends... Google play music is not a stand alone app. It relies on Google play services, and they are to say the least, complicated. We have them on the watch to communicate to the phone, but not the full version. So, I have no idea how well the app will install, let alone work. Likewise, Google only allows developers to access certain libraries and play music has not released any (to my knowledge) for Wear other than the typical hooks for controlling your music.
So, all of this adds up to a maybe...

Can you revoke an app's permission to gain audio focus using adb?

Trying to get one badly programmed app (Pokemon Go) from interfering with another badly programmed app (Audible). The former takes audio focus with no sound enabled and no way to stop it, the latter has no option to ignore it, only switch between pausing and lowering volume.
This may be a dumb question as I'm not aware of what exactly can be done in adb or whether there's a permission you can revoke for audio focus (stock moto z play nougat), but is it possible to revoke pogo's ability to gain focus? Or Audible's ability to notice it? Without root.
Same exact question, with exact same phone (stock moto play) , exact same apps (audible vs pokemon go). Anyone?
https://www.xda-developers.com/pokemon-go-audio-focus/
I was wondering if I could disable audio focus for all apps?
Like maybe continuing listening to music while talking on the phone(basically merging both audio outputs). Or playing game while listening to good music or podcasts. Etc etc. Is there a way rather than doing it individually. Ya I have seen the Pokemon go Audio focus thingy.

How to record videos without stopping music play

Hello, as you all know recording a video stops any music reproduction.
I found a post about using Instagram and Snapchat to get around the problem, but I don't want to use any of those two. And since I don't think it's possible to do that from the default camera app, do you know of any third-party ones that allow to do that?
Cheers
wow !!!!such a important question!

What you are looking for is an option to record video from your phone while capturing "internal audio". The only options that I know of require connecting an android device to PC and using the PC to capture video along with the audio. There are no android apps that allow this that I know of unless you have android 10, android 10 can supposedly use the ADV Screen recorder app..

Yeah, it kinda is. Since the issue's always been around and I'm sure a lot of people other than myself find it quite bothering. And as such, it deserves to be discussed on a forum dedicated to making the most out of our devices. But thanks for checking in!
