Music and player modifications - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does anyone know how to stop the S3 music player from stopping the music when turning the device over?
Does applying the sound mod of 60-61 (instead of 57) may damage the in/out speaker in the short or long run?
that is the best app to backup the S3 setting icons etc?
thanks!!

Erm..turn the motion setting of in "motion settings"?

Your second question relates to siyah kernel I do believe, better ask there.
Third question....most this party launchers like nova have an option to save layout, so if you have to do a data wipe, the launcher settings are saved to sd card

Some basic phone questions.(X10 Noob)

My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X
EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.
Edit Edit: (Lol) How do you set .mp3's for ringtone and notifications(and while we are at it custom wallpaper), and is there anyway to change the unlock process of the phone?
Really, thanks to anyone who answers even one of my 50 questions.

3rd party
On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.
Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.
BTW check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767849
The beauty of android is the amount of nice apps available!
EDIT: Just in case you don't read that thread through:
careful with LCD Density Changer you need ROOT with Superuser and busybox or your phone will brick
So better to stay away from that one.
Ya at the beginning I didn't want to use a 3rd party app to close tasks, it didn't make sense, now I can't get enough of ATK.
I have 2 new questions for everyone.
One how can I access the internal memory from my pc? And 2 how can I change the background color in menus like settings, messages etc. The blue background is super annoying.

[Q] menu icons won't stay sorted

On my SGS2 after sorting all my menu icons into groups on different menu screens e.g. one screen for games another for music apps etc, after rebooting for whatever reason the icon are all scrambled randomly around all the menu screens and I have to sort them again, and yes I do save after sorting. Obviously this isn't a major issue but it is annoying, any comments or suggestions (apart from stop being so anal). Thanks.

Be nice if you told us what ROM you are using and what launcher you have installed
You could create individual
folders and put your apps in that

Well I would've if I'd actually changed the rom or launcher, have root ( used cf-root, kernel DUKJ1) apart from that the phone is unchanged.

Yeah already have some folders but they too get scattered randomly, thanks anyway.
Yeah but could you not use appzorter from the market and that would sort your folders alphabetically?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Had this once with tw 4.5. cant remember how I solved it. Every time I restarted the launcher it just messed up the icons
it happens for me too,i got 400+apps but its sometimes annoying but still iam on stock an the phone dosnt hickup even with full load...
Sounds familiar...
tarobun said:
I had a similar problem which I fixed by clearing the TwLauncher data (in Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All).
Doing this will cause all the current icon positions to be lost, but it should start remembering them going forward.
I think there was something corrupt that prevented the icon positions from being saved.
Hopefully this works for you.

Thanks, i had a look at that but i'd prefer to have these particular icons sorted into groups rather than alphabetically, thanks anyhow for the reply.

Keep Stock Samsung Apps when flashing Custom ROM?

Whats happening Forums,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running the latest JellyBean ROM from SAM MOBILE,
I'm thinking about switching to a custom ROM but most remove "Bloat Apps' Is there anyway to keep the apps?
Also maybe keep gesturing and things like that?
Please post Helpful replies below.
Sorry, but what's the reason to switch to custom ROM, then?
You can MOD the stock... one of the benefits is to keep the stock apps.

There are many reasons to switch to a custom rom just switching to one gives me a TON of benefits such as
Manually Deodexed
Rooted + Busyboxed + Zipaligned
XXDLID Modem
Siyah 1.6.8 Kernel
ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.2
Super SU v0.97
4 Way Reboot

Hide sms from call logs
Enabled More Toggle on Stock Status Bar
Center Clock
Shutter Sound on/off
Volume up/down key as Shutter
Exit browser option

GPS Fast Lock

Support Custom Boot Animation
Fixed Cell Standby issue
Added More CSC (Default BTU)

Unplugging from USB doesn't turn on Screen
Auto EFS backup (/sdcard/Darky/EFS)
Bloatwares Removed (You can find the Removed Apps in /sdcard/Darky/App)
Skip Music Track with Volume Buttons Long Press while screen is locked
ROM will wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Darky Boot Animation
Some of these i cannot find as MODS,
Part is included in stock roms. Part is available as mod... which one is impossible to find for you?
BTW, some examples are... ridiculous. as an instnce: what for do you need GPS fast lock? My SGS catches lock within 4 secs inside the building... Same, scrolling wallpaper. 4 way rotation... you mean: in 3D space + time?.
Cell standby issue - I did not observed any issue here.
Similarily:
ROM will wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

- where's your problem with the wipe from CWM??? Is this a MOD? RLY?? So, you want to do it automatically, with the frequency of? 20Hz?

You know, I'm old... but I still remember the good times when kiddos got a bike for their 6th Birthday. I'm sure that you'll not believe how much simpler it was, as they knew what to do with the toy... and what to expect.
Finally, bcs I'm tired and bored: flash stock ROM, backup requested stock bloatware on card with Titanium Backup, then flash whatever you want, Lumia 800 Win 8 even, and restore the apps.

Wow thanks for the deep insight but i just copied and pasted what was included in the ROM from the page, thanks for helping anyway and unfortunately not all the "bloat apps" are located there which is okay ill take a look into the Kitchen thing as well as simply backup with titanium backup but i am worried about compatibility.
Mysterious link to ROM's kitchen
BTW: have you decided to keep the bloatware, as in first post, or to remove it, as you stated in third???

[Q] Where is Settings>Sound>Music Effects?

So I was about to install Viper4Android, and the guide told me that I should enable it on Settings>Sound>Music Effects. The problem is that I am searching for the Music Effects tab in options and I dont find it! I find the Volume control and the Ringtones, and Audio Exit, but not Music Effects! So, whats the problem?
Is something that comes with the Sammy 4.3 Firmware? Because I think so.

Please read the V4A forum .
If you do not have the Music FX apk then you will not see music effects .
Well thank you! I was confused because I didnt see the Sound Settings in the Viper App neither, and I thought it was in the Samsung Settings. A bit stupid of me:silly:
Also, I actually have the Music FX app in the app list, but even then I cant see the option in the Sound Setting in Samsung...might check the Viper options again and find those sound settings...

Quick Circle: How to remove "Settings, Music, Download More"

So, I've been using the quick circle case. I like it, but I have to scroll through those bs apps to get to what i need. I'll never use them (I don't use stock music player, and settings and download more open up inside the phone, stop no point), but I can't deselect them from the circle apps. My phone is rooted, is there a way to remove/deselect them from my quick circle?
As I know, those are the default apps that are not allowed to deselect.
Too bad. To be honest I would be more than happy to remove most of default ones as Im using difrent apps.
I wonder is there any custom app that can handle quickciecle ?
I got rid of music by disabling, camera would be the same, don't know about settings and the download more sorry.

You can't even if you root it's just not possible until someone makes something or you flash a custom ROM
