I have problems with 2 of the original widgets. The S memo widget just closes when you try to look at all drawings or go back. When you open the music player with the widget then I cant go back to all songs when i have searched something and played it. Can anyone check if they have the same problems or is it just my phone.
Can anyone check if the have the same thing and tell me please. thanks

I have the Sony Xperia S running the latest KA05.2 ROM.
The issue I am having, one I had with KA04 as well, is that for some reason when you pinch the screen to look at the widgets it shows the Music Player widget activated but it is not there. If you try to add the widget it says "Widget already added". I searched the forums and gathered that this was an issue in the Xperia Arc as well and one had to Clear data for the homescreen in order to rectify it. I was hoping someone would have a solution for the Xperia S or either know which process is for the Homescreen since I tried to do it on every running process and it still didn't work.
Any help will be appreciated!
Experts, I was wondering if they make an app for android that shows what song is 'now playing'. No controls, no album art, just a simple text that shows what song is playing. And is this app able to read the song 'now playing' from aftermarket players such as Zplayer, etc?
I really hope there is, but can't seem to find it without flashing to a MIUI Rom, and I really don't want to.
Thanks everyone!

Now Playing? I didn't understand, really.
You can get the MIUI ROM, extract the player and install it!
Download one from Defy or other devices.

Except I don't know how to do anything like that. I am seriously computer hacking illiterate. I can use the computer, but not make it do what I want!
And now playing, you know when you look at your player, it shows the song its playing, including album art, controls, artist, etc. What I am looking for is just the song title, nothing else.
I have my player widget hidden, so whenever I am on my home screen, the widget is gone until I hit the music icon, then it shows the widget with controls and everything. What I want is just the song title playing to show as another widget that I can place at the bottom of my screen, make sense?
Screenshot 1 shows the player, extended, and screenshot 2 shows it hidden. What I would like to do is show the title at the bottom of the screen in screen shot 3, without all that crappy stuff in the background (I squished the widget to make it do that, but looks like crap)

I have a GP 4.2 and want to know how I can change the Internet App on the Homescreen below the dots for changing screen pages?
I am really liking my first android more than my itouch but I DDID like changing the default homescreen apps on the iTouch. I changed the default Media Players and Web browser on it.
I would like to change the default Internet icon to launch a better web browser. For that matter I would change the Video player to launch something else as well.
Thanks.
Open your app drawer press menu -> edit and drag and drop icons to your dock and rearrange your app drawer how you wish

Thanks. That was easy! Can you recommend a good "Beginners book that might cover things like this (It was NOT in the docs that came with my unit.)
Now my last complaint with Android is finding a good replacement for the Audio player that has navigation similar to an iphone wher eI can navigate albums in and out like folders instead of everything being in just a really looooooong list!
Thanks again.
Personally i have my 2500+ song uploaded to google play music, its a great cloud music player. And i dont know of an in- depth guide to android mainly because i just figured it out as i went, i bricked my player within the first 2 days of having it so i had to get good, fast. Just lurk a bit, youll get the hang of it.

Personally use player pro for my music for quality and album art customization. Easy to navigate.
Here is a good guide for you to look at as well.

First of all I don't know if I'm on the right section, maybe this has to go to Q&A. Anyway, my question is this: is there any mod or app to install, with music control in lockscreen, as the title suggests? I'm on stock and rooted rom, tried stock music player and Apollo, no luck. Also tried holo locker, no luck either. I come from an Xperia phone and I really like and miss this features. Any ideas? Thanks!!

POWER AMP have this feature like ics lockscreen
Widgetlocker
Use widgetlocker (a free app in the play store!). With that, you can design your own lock screens (or use the default one) and you can then add ANY widget you want. Music, news feed, ANY WIDGET!
Thanks for the answers, finally I ended up in Winamp, so everything is fine now.

Guys I migrated to the lg from the galaxy s3. I love my LG but there are 2 things I miss from my s3 namely the gallery widget ( I loved the way i was able to put up a picture frame and it would cycle through my pictures. and also i love the built in alarm clock from the s3).
I pulled the apks from a rom from my s3 and tried installing them to my g3 but didnt have much sucess. I tried copying them to the system folder and giving it permissions like the other apps in the system folder and then restarting but still it would crash those apps.
Can anyone help me getting them to work with our g3.
i am attaching a link to the gallery app as its too large to upload here.

Anybody? hints or pointers are just as welcome.
Not a clue man. What's it do if you try and just install it.
Its FCs.

It probably depends on some stuff from touch wiz to run. I don't know much about it but it seems like a ton of work to get it going. Try uccw and look for a s3 skin for it.
THought it might be that but was hoping it was an easier fix. anyway any recommendations on a good alarm clock app and a good gallery widget?
Pretty much all the Samsung Widgets need Touchwiz to work. At one point I disabledTW on my S3 and most of the widgets didn't work any more.
But searching on Photo Album Widget in the play store finds a ton of apps that might do what you want:
