quiet/silent widget - G1 General

Hi.
I'm looking for toggle silent mode widget which can quiet also multimedia volume etc. Not only ringer I need to quiet down whole phone. I don't want to hear music from games during lessons
thank you

AudioManager is what you're looking for. Not really a toggle widget per se, but you will see that it suits your needs. It's great IMO.

i really don't like sliding all of those bars [alarm, music, alerts bla bla..]. I wan't one button ;-).

i think you might need two widgets for that then. one for the ringer and one for the multimedia since those are two different functions of the phone for it to toggle.
I have not seen a widget that will toggle two things at one time. It might be out there though.

sounds good for me.
Just tell me where can I find multimedia silent toggle

Alarm clock app like the original?

I just switched over to the new CM7 yesterday and am quite happy with it thus far, except for one thing. I really loved being able to set the alarm clock app by spinning the wheel to the correct number on the original ROM. I'm guessing this was part of the Sense UI setup. Is there any alarm clock app that has something similar? I've downloaded a couple and though obviously the widgets and UI differ, they've all had the same boring + - to change the times. Thanks in advance
yeah, the spinning is part of the sense ui. but now that you bring it up, one thing i miss is being able to use music to wake up to, instead of 'beep beep beep'. i don't want to have to download another alarm to have that :-(
If you use Handcent SMS You can set Music to the Alarm. It allows you to set music to just about all your ringtone & Notifications.
I know it's not ideal to download another alarm app, but there are two small ones in the market (I'm talking kilobytes) that are awesome. "Good Morning" can wake to music with text-to-speech telling you the time, weather, news, etc. AppAlarm can wake you to Pandora or any number of other apps as well. Both work amazingly.

Thoughts on possible Honeycomb enhancement

Has anyone else found it a bit cumbersome on the Xoom to change the audio volume all the time with the manual buttons or even use the hard buttons to trigger the volume slider to appear? I think it would be a huge perk if a volume slider would be included on the music app and even in the settings popup in the corner like the brightness? Thoughts / opinions from others? I wanted to see if others would see value in this to take it to google for an potential future enhancement.

i agree! i'm using the motorola cover and changing the volume sucks. if it could be used as a slider in the notifications bar that would be awesome.
They should make it to where you can pick what shows up on the notification pop up. I would like to see toggles for bluetooth, wifi added a volume slide just like the display settings. If you could pick which settings showed there that would be a huge +1 And the ability to resize the widgets with out needing a new launcher installed (LP+ ADW).
There is a solution to the Volume issue mentioned in the OP.
There's an app for that!™
It appears you can also put it in the task bar.
I'm so used to having skins on top of android (sense, touchwiz) that I kind of feel the need of having one on top of honeycomb. I admit that HC the way it is looks so frigging naked. The media player is dull, and the widgets are boring. IMO.

[Q] How do I...? A few questions from a new convert

Ok so I'm coming from a different platform and I have a few questions on how to get back some (or if possible all) functionality I'm currently missing that has been essential to my work flow for a while. So hopefully if you can bare with the newb factor of some of these questions I'd really appreciate some pointing in the right direction....
Functionality Questions
1.) How do I get notification counts on app icons? So I can know how many texts or calls I've missed or haven't responded to yet.
2.) How do I rearrange my favorites list in the dialer... it seems to be in order that I star the contact but I can't seem to figure out how to rearrange them in the list.
3.) How do I arrange notifications in the notification shade? Currently notifications come in cronological order but how do I make it so text notifications are always first, then emails, then everything else...?
4.) How do I make it so even if my phone is on silent or vibrate, it still plays a notification sound for people I've designated (ie people on my favorites list)?
5.) How do I set individual text tones for contacts? I can set ringtones however I can't seem how to set text tones.
Misc... Questions
1.) In the messages app how do I make it so that instead of texts being broken up in "1 of 3" etc... that the texts come as one complete paragraph?
2.) How do I set a different picture for the lock screen than the home screen?
3.) Is there a music player widget that I can use that sits in the notification shade and or/ has an accompanying desktop widget that's more 'universal' or uses common music API's so that no matter what music app I use I can control it and see album art etc...? I'm coming from iOS a d the music widget in the task tray acts as control for any music app you choose to use etc...
Anyway like I said, I've switched platforms (from iOS to Android) and I'd like to have some of the aspects I've grown used to and made a part of my workflow and daily activity back. I know Android is ultra customizable and that the beauty is you can make it whatever you'd like so I'm sure these things are already there or can be done easily I'm just new and can't seem to figure it out. Any direction would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The Nexus 4 runs pure Android, which is quite basic as far as features. You're going to need a mix of a custom ROM with apps/widgets you download. Get to searching on the play store. There are tons of apps with great features. A simple search of "universal music widget" will yield results you can use. Also, check out the good messaging apps like Handcent, Go! SMS, and Chomp SMS. Search, download, test.
Edit: Here is another result from a simple search.

1. Download a third-party launcher such as Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher as they have these features. Some of these features may require a 'Pro' version of the launcher to unlock extra features.
2. Can't rearrange, it's based on the # of calls. You can download third-party dialers such as TouchPal.
3. someone else can explain
4. someone else
5. someone else.
misc.
1. download third party messenger app such as chompsms, handcent sms
2. custom rom
3. someone else

1. For unrooted phone there are launchers and for rooted many roms supports eg. Paranoid android.
2. Way around is to creat short cut on screen for contacts you prefer in your order. And Dont remember but there are several app available in play store. Search is your friend here.
3. Just have no idea about it.
4. lots of profile scheduler in play store. Check few out.
5. Never needed so no idea.
Misc.
1. Try other popular sms apps from play store.
2. In custom rom im sure I have used this in the past.
3. I didn't get that question.
Hope it helped you little. Just try few apps and choose what you like the best.
Good Luck :good:
Thanks for all the feedback so far. I'm going through the play store and getting there bit by bit. Any other suggestions keep'em coming. Thanks guys!

First galaxy coming from iPhones

Hi everyone, so this time for the first time I got a galaxy, I'm still trying to figure out all its possibilities but there's some things that I'd really loved but can't find out how to do them and I'd need some help.
The first thing is that I'd like to mute some notifications for instance when I receive a notification on YouTube I'd love to be able to read it on the lock screen or notification center but I want no vibration nor sound
The other thing is that I really need a music app that can show lyrics, I have lyrics for all of my songs but the standard music app doesn't appear to show them
I really thank you for your help
Use power amp for your music needs, has a trial version u can try before buying
Musixmatch is the app you need for music, its free

Musixmatch looks for the lyrics in the or database or internet bit I already have all the lyrics for my songs, I just need a player in which I can see them.
I tried eleven from cyanogenmod but that shows only lyrics from srt files, I added them in iTunes on the metadata in fact when I, on my iPhone, pressed once on the album art it would show the ones I added.
I tried rocket launcher but didn't like how it showed them, is there really nothing as simple as pressing on the album art (while song is playing) to show the lyrics?
Thanks for helping me out
With respect to notifications, you should check the individual app settings around notifications. Many of them have discrete controls for sound+notification bar and allow you to set things as desired (for example I use Textra for SMS and it does that) but I'd expect not all do.
The notification sound settings in the base system settings will effectively be the default for any app that does not otherwise control the values.

Yes indeed you are right, I couldn't find much notification settings in the galaxy settings but I found for instance Twitter notification sound in the Twitter settings, unfortunately they don't work, they won't save so I end end up disabling them altogether

Day Night theme

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but I'm going to post this anyways. It's my personal zooper skin that I have been using for some time now, personally I really like it. It has been build up from the ground by me personally, although I have used some pictures and icons from the net. I would love to credit those, but I have no idea who they are.
It's a day and night theme, meaning that the blue screens are used during the day and it automatically switches to the black themes at sundown. The media controls are divided for Kodi, using Yatse as remote and tasker to send the commands. Attached you can find the tasker tasks aswell. The bottom part is for chromecast using media utilities.
For a missed call, a icon will appear on the main homescreen, aswell as a notification in the bottom bar on all screens. Also for messages.
Since I use gestures to control my phone, I do not use any navigation keys, nor any folders.
The calendar is based till the end of 2016.
All screens except the last screen are 100% zooper.
Since this is the first time ever posting anything here (or anywhere I think) please let me know if I can improve upon something in the post or in the skin.
Hope somebody will enjoy it
Cheers.
Impressive work! Will give this a try sometime.
How to use??please
