Hello you Masters!
First of all, HI! My name is Luis, im from Vzla (South America for those that have never look at a map), this is my hmm... third day with a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, first time using Android (had a BB but well lets say I dropped it and got tired of BB platform so WELCOME ANDROID!) I will be checking and using this forum from now on since is the best site to check for any information regarding my X8 and i will be glad to be an active member of this community so pleeease excuse me for being a noob and for my very very bad english.
Now, Thx to this site I managed to root my phone and install a new launcher (yaay im a pro xD) BUT there are a lot of things i dont know how to do and theres particulary one that makes me go mad, my music library contains not only the music I download but also EVERY SINGLE voice note y send/receive using WhatsApp and I dont like this, so is there any way to change the folder where those voicenotes will be saved so they dont merger with my music? It´s very annoying to be listening to music and suddenly a wild sexy voicenote from my girlfriend appears while my phone is plugged to an Stereo and all my family is listening... Yes, it happened...
OH! and the other thing is "can I make my phone to turn off the screen after 1 minute BUT without it being blocked? so i can just press a butttom to make it come to life again without needing to unlock it again? something like i just want it to lock ONLY if i press the top buttom"
Thx in advance for any help you could give me.
Hello. Welcome to xda
Stock player don't have option to set a library folders. I love PowerAmp, which is the best player in my opinion (it's free for 14 days). It has such option, so it's quite handy.
And few words about lockscreen. In custom ROMs such as GingerDX or MiniCM you'll find CyanogenMod Settings with many cool tweaks. You should try it, your phone will be fast as hell

I haven't seen anyone mention this app here yet(if I missed it forgive me). It's called LukLuk and the quality of the movies is great although the selection isn't that big it has some decient choices. I haven't seen this in the market myself but my GF says that's where she got hers from. I recently flashed Haykuros Sapphire/Magic build so that's pobably why I haven't seen it. The app can also be downloaded directly from the site www.lukluk.org. I had a few problems with force closes and a notification telling me to set up a network connection, but a quick uninstall and reinstall seemed to fix the problem. Check it out, FREE streaming movies? You can't beat that.
just forcecloses on my G1 with RC9 modded by lucid
just downloaded it.....works great thanx
can i download this with an unmodded g1???

AMAZING! I am watching the Matrix right now and I can't even believe this! Android with Cupcake and applications like this oh lord...We have and are arriving!
i keep trying to logg in and it says my password or user name is wrong and when i try to make a new account it wont let me saying my g1 has already registered -__- and im trying to get my password to make sure im entering it right and it keeps saying system busy
when i try to sign up it says my g1 already signed up, but i never did and i bought my phone brand new (if that matters). Approx. how many movies do you guys get to choose from in the film section.

Is there any way/app to change the screen rotation delay?
Sometimes more delay would be nice, and on rare occations a shorter delay... ie, when my asswipe iphone fanboy friend of mine comments on how "slow" the phone are
I try to tell him its an delay that are set, and not lagg but deaf ears...
Anyone know ho to do this?
Anyone have any input?
I am 99 % sure you can't make the device delay the rotation
It only depends on the CPU speed and memory usage (RAM usage).
Only suggestion would be to make the phone lag which is always an horrible idea

+1. Don't really think that there will ever be such a feature as most users will not really use it haha. Faster is always better to me
Well.. how to make it respond quicker then?
Im not talking about lag or rotation speed.. im talking about the delay from the time i flipp the phone to the screen starts to rotate
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
First you want delay now you want it quicker???
Why do you need the delay and why do you need it to be quicker???
there probably will be a way to do it but to be honest no developer is going to sit down for hours trying to figure this out as there really is no need for it.

If You had read my first post You would see i asked for BOTH... what does it matter... sometimes like when I need a wider keyboard, i would like it to change quick... when in galery it would be nice... sometime it would be nice to have it as it is today or even a few ms slower.. say when your reading documents, playing games (when You move the phone alot and dont want it to change emediately..)
there are alot of reasons for this feature, just because You'r happy with the delay.. Hey!... some are even ok with the stock ROM... but i dont argue with them...
Anyone else that have any info?.. or atleast give me som pointers in the right direction.. maby i'll be able to figure it out myself... just does'nt know where to start....

Its possible....roman did it in the galaxy tab 10.1 pics aokp build with his from tools app..Not sure how
it is kind of possible (changing the screen rotation animation speed - making it look like instant rotate or slow screen rotate). Using Temaseks Kang with ICS transitions - you can go to "Spare Parts" app (downloadable via market in case you don't have it in your rom), scroll down to Transition animation and experiment. I'd guess it's not the solution you wanted, but close enough.
A smart App on the Market available for free : SmartRotator
You can choose which applications enables/disables the screen rotation
I use it since few days, it does it job.
(Don't remember if it needs root access or not, but I don't think so)

Stock music player, coming from LG P500 is at last, something useful, big cover arts... lock screen controls and sleep-timer.
BUT WHAT THE HELL ... missing feature is "add to now playing list" ....
im on V10G European unbdanded / open ... do you guys all have this feature missing, or what?
If that's a general issue then can we mod it in any way to add this feature??
It's so freakin annoying to create all the time a new playlist, just to add some song to be played... rather than having a temporary list of songs...
I think you're not in the right forum. Here is the lg p970 forum
I'm pretty sure im in the right place.
I am a previous owner of a P500 and now i have the 970.
Any answer about that?
checked mine
you're right, that feature isn't available in stock player.
what the hell is wrong with them ?? (LG)
Coming to P970 from P500 when i saw the player i thought "at last, something proper" !!!
once again they did their miracle, missing basic feature ... ffs!
Any ideas on how to mod it and add this option?
Any devs??

CM7 stock player has it, Otherwise get PowerAMP or Winap from android market and there may be some other free players as well
i was prepared for that answer my friend, if i was about to do that, i wouldnt even make a new topic about that issue at all.
The fact that im trying to find a way to put that feature on stock player means that no other player meets my expectations.
To be honest, i actually prefer having that simple application without a tons of settings, album arts, lyrics, sync etc... because it just works!
Besides, there's no need to have a ton of applications because the stock ones dont satisfy... that's why im kindly asking, if there's any way to edit stock apks... just like the stock camera app, has removed shutter sounds.
Is it possible?
Anybody has the knowledge and some spare time to do that?
Anybody has any how-to about editing apk files?
I'd be grateful.
If you are really into stock apps and not want to use third party apps, here is google's stock music app from ics.
Try it out and see if it suits you.

I just install it or push it into system/app as it is without removing anything?
Ok, installed Google music .apk you proposed...
Epic fail...
Hi, I know my question is totally off topic but do you also have the ICS browser apk ?

Hello!
I have a GT-i9000 Android phone. The ROM is Slim-4.2.2. The device
has a MacKay Kernel and it runs smooth and i'm happy :good:.
But i have a stupid problem. I don't know if there is something wrong with my
fingers, but everytime i try to type something, i mistype letters because
i happen to hit the next-by letter instead. So, i wonder if it's possible to
make letter buttons bigger like Froyo original keyboard? It seems to
be an extra space between all letters in all these new ROM keyboards..
Thanks for any help/corrections!

Try to install some other keyboard from google play
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Have you checked if the keyboard is activate as default in the settings? and, slim bean comes with semaphore kernel, do you have this problem with the stock kernel? sound like the kernel can be related to those kind of problems, try to reflash the rom keeping the stock kernel and be shure do do all the wipes.
Use the horizontal keyboard... it's bigger
Thanks for everybody's reply,
But the phone was unfortunately stolen from me yesterday in the middle of Stockholm!
:crying:
Ops... sorry to hear that. Some tracking/remote control app installed may have helped you to locate your phone, block it, taking pictures from the cameras etc...

Yeah, it might have.. Somebody on this forum suggested Avest Anti-Theft.
Problem is these guys remove the battery and sim card right after the stealing
takes place.. I couldn't even call the phone already after 10 min!
Thanks any way!
hi guys
all stock/ android 4.4.2
when I try take picture its all good, but when switch to video recording phone freeze.
black screen, when push home it goes to home screen and i can hear this anoying bip sound of video recording but im already in home screen
when i go into ( i use only standard) gallery app it freeze as well, when back to live it show no thunbnail of pics and vid.
I did hard reset - no change , i feel like entire unit is less responsive/slower. can not pin point that but moving around menus seems laggy
anybody has any clue ? ive found guy with similar problem on some other forum but there was no answer to him. he changet roms or emui nothing helped
thank God for google transistator
other than that its look as all works, apps,games, basic phone functionality
Problem solved!
at first i tought its SD card b/c music was gone, some videos ect. and when i took sd card out phone worked almost ok. almost because it still had lag here and there in menus and lagging did not happen before.
I found solution by instaling B609 EMUI 3.0
all is ok now
i want to warn everybody about use CCleaner with caution!
it all started with "clean" intentions
i just wanted to make phone faster and i practically turned it into a useless brick
god bless google transistator
Why use ccleaner or clean master in your phone?They simply generate problems,and consuming memory.
We have a built in app that does the same thing .Phone manager.Try it.
