[Q] Background music to homescreen? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Think of the ambient music that plays on the Wii menu, or at least try to remember it from five years ago when you last turned on your Wii. Now think of that music playing while you're in your phone's homescreen. I've been looking for some software that provides that functionality for a good while now and have come up quite short. I'd like to play a song each time I'm at my homescreen (ie the Zelda menu theme).
I've tried the workaround where a sound is played whenever the phone is unlocked, but that continues to play even though the phone is locked again, until the sound reaches the end of its duration.
Any ideas here?
Thank you.

I know this is like 2 years old, but maybe try an app like tasker? i was looking at all the threads with "music" and this came up.
actually i just made a profile that does this in like 5 minutes so tasker should work!

[APP]wp clock

I stumbled on this "clock" browsing the interwebs while I was getting whooped in fantasy football today. It is not actually a clock but a "typographic live wallpaper". What I like about it is that it is simple and at the same time displaying lots of info. You can customize what info you want to see. You can also set the background to slideshow displaying pics from your gallery.
Here's a few screenshots that I took with the slideshow delay set at 30 seconds.

Here's a link to a youtube video of it in action. I recommend you watch this video if for the music alone.

In case you are wondering about the theme I applied to my phone it is the wonderfully simplistic X-Power+ Black for any KH7 ROM! [1.1.1] ported by jivy26
You can find it here

Been runnin this live wallpaper for a day now and have experienced no discernible battery drain. Been off the charger for 9 hours with moderate usage and battery is at 66%.
Ive actually had this on my Captivate and have had it on my GS2. I like it, its different.
It's too big... and by that I mean it only allows me to use the bottom row of widget space without covering up any of the clock. The second to bottom row starts to cover the year. If it was a big shorter vertically then I'd like it. Perhaps there is something in settings in the full version... I dunno.
Love this. keeps my home screen looking nice and clean.thanks for posting.

[Q] - Disable screen capture sound

I am on the ICS leak (and have been for a little over a month now)... currently on .211. I have searched and searched and cannot find the answer I am looking for... so thought I would post the question.
Is there a way to disable the sound the phone makes when you do a screen capture (PWR + VOL Dwn)? I followed the directions to disable the camera sound (outside of the camera application) but the sound still persist, even while the darn thing is on silent.
Any clues on how to disable the sound?

This is where you would start. Start by moving to SD. Don't delete. Remember what you did. If the sound doesn't exist in the system then it can't produce what isn't there.

Is that the only location where system sounds are located? When I was viewing that last night... nothing stood out as the click (except the camera click sound).
Yeah I guess going through each of em one by one is the only option. Grumble. If none of those work... I am at a loss then!
I just changed mine to the camera sound from a nexus and it changed my sound associated w my screenshot too. Maybe its just tied together. Other than silencing your phone and then taking a pic I don't know exactly how to break it from there
if you are using samsung galaxy s3, you could try silent screenshot instead. simple and cool.

[Q] Various problems after screen repair

I broke my screen a few weeks ago, so I repaired it. It (digitizer+display) working basically ok, but I got some other problems.
1. I get fc´s everywhere, sometimes the apps work, sometimes not...
2. I can´t play any music or videos (exept web streaming videos like youtube)., all my music apps get immediatly fcs.
I already tried lots of roms (MROM, Neutrino, Topsmarts...., also ics ones) and different music player apps, but it won´t work.
Do you think something might been damaged during the repairment?
Edit: Oh, I almost forgot, my CPU won´t toggle anymore, runs at max. all the time...
Possibly ribbon cables not seated correctly.

You may have a 'phantom touch' somewhere which is somehow keeping your phone active. Try downloading a digitizer test app and seeing if your phone thinks it's being touched when it's not.

I 've liked the first look for time playing but 1/4 was advertisment. And after some seconds I had full screen advertisment. I can't see now why I should change back from default player.

OK Google voice detection/always listening

I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?
with the newest version it's there if you put the widget on homescreen

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual
