I had this app for my iPhone called music control swipe. It allowed you to swipe between songs, pause/play, and volume up and down with a finger while the screen is off. Very useful in the gym or when cruising in your car. Just curious if the galaxy s4 has something like this.
It was called music control pro actually. It did a lot of things things that jelly been does stock. I just want the ability to swipe between songs while the screen is off. Like the only thing I truly miss from the iPhone. I used it several times everyday.
Bump. I too would love to find an app that does this.

Anyone tried this app yet? It seems to be able to do... um... everything?! Ha! I am interested to see what custom profiles and tasks people have set up in theirs!

You can download a 14-day trial from the developers website:

(it is £3.99 in the market for the full version)
Wow, I would have normally glazed right over this. For some reason I read the articles and this is pretty cool. I started thinking of a bunch of uses for it. I bought it outright. Thanks for the post, moonrock!
Welcome!
I noticed in the wiki or forum (somewhere!) that they were able to set up a profile that remapped the camera button -- I am wondering if this can be used to remap the power button while the camera app is open, maybe?
So I haven't had much time to play with Tasker, but the two scripts I have currently running:
* Silence from 11pm > 8am, simple, but it replaced the other 'profiles' type apps
* Disable screen rotation when in the Kindle app, for whatever reason this isn't an option in the Kindle app itself.
I have it set to turn on my Bluetooth when plugged in and off when unplugged works great!

Fantastic! I need to set up a (again, simple!) task that will turn on bluetooth in the times that I am always in my car (commute to work and home, same time every day) which won't be difficult.
I have Locale already, but this may replace it (gotta love paying for apps to find out another one does 10000x more things! oops!) I've had Locale since first getting my G1 though, so it's gotten plenty of use.
So glad you posted about this app... its amazing..

I have a couple tasks set up. First, I have gps automatically turn on and off when entering and exiting google maps. I also have one that lets me pick input style when I go into or leave remotedroid (swype's backspace doesn't work in it). And I have a couple apps that like to hang around after I close them, so I set them to be killed upon closing.
All in all it's a great app, well worth the $6.

Also worth noting is that it is £3.49 from the developer directly (paypal, via his website) and a larger % goes direct to him that way.
I have it setup for text to speech on SMS messages when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth.
I am trying to find a way to let my replay to said SMS with the voice to text feature or just ignore it. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish that?
Also think it would be cool to have it change my wallpaper based on the weather conditions in my area, but Im not sure how to go about doing that either.

Beautiful Widgets (paid app, couple bucks) and the (free) Beautiful Live Wallpaper. Uses the weather widget to make the wallpaper match the weather
Tasks that I've set up so far:
Silent / dim screen / timeout / alarm volume 7 while I am asleep (timed task)
Vibrate / auto brightness / timeout (slightly longer) while at work (timed task)
Bluetooth on while in my car (timed task -- specificlly during the hours of my work commute)
Load Vlingo when Bluetooth connects, Kill Vlingo when BT disconnects
GPS on when Maps, Navigation and Foursquare are opened
Display timeout (1hr) and brightness (max) when USB plugged in (for when i am in my car, typically listening to music and/or have vlingo up on the screen, annoying (and worthless) for the display to timeout if vlingo is supposed to be a one-touch process!)
Anyway of exporting a profile then importing it so some of the more advanced useres can create some and we can tweak them ?
Edit: Having hard time getting them to do what i want .
Probably, but I am not entirely sure how... lol
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.

Ah, I keep meaning to setup the low battery task as well!
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone know how to make it so that the Incall volume goes up to max on the connect of the phone call? I cant seem to find it in the settings meeting seems to only answer on 3/4 volume. Thought Tasker might be able to .
This app is awesome. I only got a few tasks setup but one nice one is turning the screen timeout to 23hr when I open the web browser and back to 30 secs when I exit.

To export a profile tap the context (left) icon <profile<export. To import just open the file with Tasker as the chosen program I think. lots of premade tasks on the Tasker wiki. (it won't let me post a link)
On my nexus I have a quiet hours setting in the settings, sound menu. Is there no setting like this for the S3? Granted I don't know if the Quiet Hours was part of AOKP but boy do I miss that feature.
Thanks

I miss this from the Nexus as well. I can't find this setting anywhere in the stock ROM, however, I know there are 3rd party applications that can do it.
Look at Locale, Tasker, or Llama. They can change sounds based on time of day, screen orientation (face down, etc.), phone location, etc. Not sure about Llama, but I've tried both Locale and Tasker, and after some initial tweaking they work great...
My favorite is Sound Manager 2 (from the Google Market). Lets you set times for all your different sounds. Nice for overnight, or church every Sunday. I don't have to remember to turn my ringer off before service
I use Shhh! Auto-silencer. U can find it in the market.

Two questions, mainly an is it just me set of questions:
My phone lags when you first hit the power button to wake it up, mostly only the first time, but it's for over a second and it's kind of disconcerting. Is this normal? I noticed it stock and on Beans now. Is there something that can be done, or am I just the weird one...
Lightflow doesn't work very well. It doesn't control sounds worth a damn, and the quiet hours feature is afu. Just wanted to see if I'm doing it wrong...
The lockscreen wake lag is normal, people say it's the deep sleep that the phone goes into to save power.
Light flow doesn't work, but Light Manager works very well - it's free and on the play store.
EDIT - saw that you were talking about sounds controls and quiet hours - didn't know Lightflow had that stuff. I use profiles for that sort of thing. You can easily create Quick Commands for things like "home" "work" "car" and "night." I find this feature really useful, because with one swipe of the pen and a quick drawing of a symbol, it'll change settings for sound, bluetooth, wifi, allshare cast, gps, mobile data, etc. all at once.
Have you ever wanted to use air gestures similar to
the ones that the flagship phone - Galaxy S4 does?
Well your dream has partially come true as xda-
developers member forgin has developed this neat
app that simulates the S4 air gestures. The best part
about this is that it's free and it requires Android 2.2
and above.
The app uses the proximity sensor that the Galaxy Y
has on the front, so now you won't only use the
proximity sensor for shutting off the screen while
making calls, but for a lot more things. Please note
that the video you will watch below does not show all
of the features the app offers, explore the rest by your
own.
Set apps to open with all the available
gestures.
Silence alarm.
Silence incoming call.
Switch betwen recent apps (like back and
forward behaviour)
Fast go to home screen
QuickGlance like Galaxy S4 has!!!
Control your music player (next/previous/
pause/resume) even with screen off!!!
Shake phone during a call to activate/
deactivate speakerphone.
Answer incoming call, just put your phone
near to your ear (its like Hover Hold)
Lock/Unlock screen with hand slides!
Slide betwen your photos in your image
gallery (1 slide->next, 2 slides->previous)
Scroll up and down in your browser (1
slide->down, 2 slides->up. Not all
browser are supported).
Download Link-Hovering Controls

so far good
How do i do that damn air gesture? Hahaha! :silly:
Edit: I knew it already. Haha. Will ask for more questions if needed.
works perfectly on my samsung gt S5360 thanks :good::good::good::good:

Hey guys,
So, as many of you have noticed by now, the stock Desk Clock / Dockmode app that was present in the S4 and other galaxy devices is nowhere to be found in the Note 4. As I use my phone every night in one of the Samsung charging docks next to my bed as my alarm clock and media player, I'd really love to find a good replacement. So, does anyone know of a good clock or desk dock app?
Here's are the features that I'd like to have most:
Needs to have a night/sleep mode- want the screen to darken, maybe switch to just the clock, and it needs to move around to prevent burn-in while it's on all night long.
Needs to have a good alarm setup- I'd be happy with either having it utilize the stock alarm app, or if not then it'll need to be a pretty bulletproof alarm. I generally have 3 alarms set (I'm a heavy sleeper ) and I need to be able to trust that they'll all go off correctly in sequence.
Would like shortcuts to other apps- I usually have music or audiobooks playing at night when I'm going to sleep, so it would be nice to have the ability to either set custom app shortcuts or to have a built in shortcut to music, but with the Note 4's app-switching capabilities this is not a dead set requirement, it would just be nice.
Would like it to look good- I really liked how the stock S4 dock app had the weather, the time, shortcuts, etc., and it all looked really clean and nice doing it. Soft tones, transparency, what can I say- I'm a sucker for eye candy!
So, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Try Kaloer Clock, it works well.
Just thought I'd update, I tried Kaoler Clock but wasn't a huge fan, didn't like how it looked and the alarm options weren't really all that impressive. I'm currently trying out the trial of Gentle Alarm, so far I'm pretty impressed. No shortcut options to other apps, but it's definitely got everything else I was interested in and more- the alarm setup is fantastic, REALLY like the pre-alarm function, and the level of control for every aspect of alarm and app behavior is staggering. Has a very respectable night mode/desk clock, not quite as nice looking and info-rich as some others I've tried but certainly acceptable.
Only problem is the trial version doesn't play alarms on Wednesdays (I know, right?) so if I decide to keep using it I'll need to spend the $3 to purchase the full version (which also gets rid of ads). So far I'm thinking I'll probably end up getting it, but I figure I'll keep trying it out until Tuesday night rolls around and if I just have to have it for Wednesday morning I'll know it's the one and buy it then.
U can use daydream with dashclock widget

Timely is my favorite and I think it has everything you need aside from the shortcuts
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.bitspin.timely&hl=en
Yeah, I've tried Timely and it's certainly very pretty, but again I didn't like the alarm set-up at all. I think I also ran into a problem where it would play the alarm simultaneously over the phone speakers and the media stream to my external speakers, which sounded like poop. I use music for my alarms and I like it to come out sounding good, not all tinny from the phone speaker.
I gotta say, the more I use it the more I'm really liking Gentle Alarm, I'm pretty convinced at this point that this is the one I'll end up sticking with. We'll see come Tuesday, but I think I'm going to go for it.
