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

if you set an alarm on the calender item you get a 2 sec. sound and that is it..
anyone know a way to change the calender notification sound and/or make it longer... and louder thanks.
You cannot change the sound so easily. The SGS would need a trackpad ou touchpad to select the Calender of which you want to change the notification sound.
But you can try searching calender notifier in market. This should allow you to change the sound. Personally haven´t tried it because i don´t use the calender to remind me.

this pissing me off too:/
Yeah, and I thought I ve done something wrong. Unbelivable. I am starting to think that Android has not so much over Symbian. Very dissapointed. For every little damn thing we need to get a third party application. I am moving to Nokia N8 as soon as it's released. This android is exactly like windows mobile. A bunch of third party apps to get the basic stuff going.

I use this calendar snooze, its brilliant, you get a prompt to snooze for any length of time, just like in old windows mobile and you can setup the calendar notification sound, etc...
if your phone is rooted you can change the notification sound, i've done this some week ago by replacing original audio file with a custom and longer sound. If you want to try search in developement or theme forum

no you are mistaken did you even try it b4 you commented.. the notification sound is not the same as the calendar alarm notification sound. and yes you can snooze the calendear but i know no way of change what notification sound is used for this
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.
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!
Hi everyone, just had a Google nexus 10 for a couple of days now....first ever tablet PC / Android OS device - pretty experienced with PCs and Window but this is very different!
Getting on fine customising the setup and installing Apps etc, finding the solution most the time I get stuck here or elsewhere on the Interweb but there's a few minor things I just can't sort out.
I'll start with just a couple of questions and keep working on the other 'issues' myself for a while....
1) Music Player
I've added a bunch of MP3 albums to the GN10 - originally the album artwork appeared in screen you could scroll through but in finding my way around the App changed the view to a static tiled view of the album covers - no way can I switch back or between any view options now!
By the way.....stick with the standard music player or other Apps recommended? (would be nice to have a graphic equaliser.......I've set up a nice set of external speakers with Logitech Bluetooth audio adapter)
2) My Library...
My Music.......the icons on the 'Desktop' are just grey squares with the album title etc......surely the album covers/artwork should show?
........that's it for now
Thanks
Andy
Your are talking about the play music app, yes? If so the view you were talking about where you could scroll through is the "recent music" view. The static tiles is the "album" view. The view can be changed in the upper left side of the app next to the app icon. The app does have a built in graphic equalizer which is accessed by touch the menu button (3 dots) in the upper right.
As far as the widget, you may want to try removing the widget and then putting it back. A reboot may help afterwards as well. Hope this answers your questions.
Spot on re the 'recent music' view....thanks - strange that that view is not available for the full music selection :shrug:
Removed and added the Library widget again but no change.........not fussed though as removed again as on second thoughts can't see the need anyway, how often would one of the few albums shown be what you wanted to listen too anyway?.......just hit the Media Player icon...
Something else strange (to me anyway lol).....
The photo gallery has imported all the artwork/album covers from the Music folder ......can't see a setting to change this?
That is strange indeed. Is the music mp3's that are physically stored on the tablet memory?
Yes all on the tablet, fully tagged etc via dBpoweramp

very nice,its worked fully!
Unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to remove them from the gallery. It is a quirk of android. You will notice that some apps will even create folders in the gallery to store cached images.

Hey everyone,
Just getting my note 10.1 setup and so far im loving it. Its my first tablet and the fact it has a stylus finally made having a tablet more practical for me. One thing I am not a fan of is that when I have the sound turned down to the lowest setting it is too loud. Is there any built in eq that I can use to scale the sound?
So far im using a downloaded app "Music Volume EQ" which is working but needs to be running and then it takes up space in my notifications bar which I really dont like.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know about this specific app, but most apps do have an option to disable notification entries in settings. I was fed up with the Skype app persistently displaying my online status in the notification tray until I noticed an option to disable it in the app's preferences.
'might wanna try looking for it there.
