Does this App exist?

Id love to be able to control my android music player without having to switch out of the calendar or browser or whatever im working on. As of right now, to perform this multitasking, I hold the home button down for frequently-used applications, or pull down the notifications bars, and switch completely to the full music player before changing my song/volume and then returning back to what i was doing before. I suppose I could use a widget, but that would require going back to the homescreen.
Is there an implementation similar to the Apple iPhone that allows "pop-up" music controls in android? For those unfamiliar with iPhone OS, double tap the home button and a miniature control window pops up in front of what you are doing, letting you control very basic functions of the music player like volume and forward/reverse/play/pause. I'd love to have this functionality, as I am always listening to music when on my mobile.
Does this app exist? If not, this would be a great idea for the many devs who frequent this forum *wink-wink*
Not be rude, but if you added more into title then Does this app exist, more people would probly help you.
But your question, I wish they had something like that too i dont know of any.
I have always hoped that Android device would provide an extra button or extra gestures for which users would be able to assign arbitrary actions, actions menus or apps.

[Q] Help with gADAM or Home Launcher Pro Plus volume ctrls??

Hey guys,
Just curious if there is a way to modify the gADAM 1.3 rom to remove a few features. Specifically, the rom is advertised as a fix for the g-tablet to get rid of useless phone functions (I don't ever intend to use my tablet as a phone....) and I am impressed that the dock bar buttons are so easy to customize and rid of phone function icons. I REALLY love this rom but had to switch to homelauncher PRO rather than the launcher it comes with. Therefore, I am not certain if my issue is with homelauncher PRO or with gADAM 1.3...
That all out of the way (I am long-winded; sorry)... from homelauncher PRO main widget screen, when turning the volume up or down, it says "Ringtone volume" when I push the volume buttons... I want those buttons to modify the media volume, or perhaps ALL device volumes (notifications included). Instead, I have had to navigate through all the settings and mess with volume controls in there rather than simply using volume -/+ buttons. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, thanks for everything you guys are doing. I feel like part of a tight group of friends/family just reading posts let alone if I manage to find the time and start contributing as much as possible CHEERS!

Long Press Volume Button under Stock to change Track

Has anyone managed to get this policy from the vanilla Android over to Stock Android so it can be used with the stock derived custom ROMs?
I miss that feature a lot :/
And sadly my java skills don't suffice for really knowing what the difference in all the files which are in the classes.dex really do
i miss this feature as well.
tried to look for a solution but failed.
best way to get around this is to install ttpod.
a music player where it recognize gesture to skip track.
hold phone, move to left then back to original location, skip track.
hold phone, move to right then back to original location, previous track.
not a bad alternative.

[Q] (Code question) Need to figure out a way for my widget to update it's icon.

Hey all,
Forgive me if I need to post this elsewhere but the searches I have done have come up empty.
I'm pretty new to Java and Android development. So I'm sure this is an easy fix. But I could use some help.
The short version is I need to figure out a way for my widget to monitor the silent mode status. And would like to know what monitor's the home screen usage in android system.
The long version is this. The widget is pretty simple it just toggles the silent mode. (Hey we all have to start somewhere.) The problem is it's designed to update the icon to reflect the silent mode status, but the code triggers through a click action. See the problem? Yep silent mode can be toggled in many different ways. Thus what I need is an efficient way to monitor the silent mode status. My current idea is to have it run a simple check whenever the "home" or "back" buttons are pressed/whenever the home screen displays.
Problem is I don't know what SystemService checks that. I'm not really looking for an "ok plug this code into..." I want to learn. I'm looking for what I need to call in so I can monitor when the user returns to the home screen. Or if anyone has another more simple fix I'm all ears.

[Q] Installing a widget from an APP.

Hello, I know i'm going to die as maybe i didn't place this post correctly, also i'm not a developer, only a graphic designer.
I'm looking for some advise, hope someone could help me with that.
Imagine that you launch your app, and within that there is a button that says "Install widget". You press that button, then the app closes and a widget appears on the home screen.
Is that possible?
i've been reading that before 4.2 i wasn't, but something changed from then. Problem is that i have no more information about this, and also i don't know if it changed over time.
I'm behind the graphic design of a widget. The idea is that you first download the app, which will help you to configure the widget, and then you have to manually place the widget in place.
They are afraid that some people wont understand, and they will cease trying.
I only would like to know if this is possible, (or something similar) and if someone knows any APP that does this thingie.
Note: APPS like "Swiftkey" guides you in the process of installing your keyboard. it asks you to go to a determinate place of the phone settings, and gives you a shortcut to that place so you don't have to go by yourself.
It would be amazing. To directly place a widget o to guide them trhough shortcuts.
Many many thanks in advance!
