All,
I recently downloaded Themer and love a lot about it. It's quick, and very nice looking.I realize it's still in beta and I can appreciate how stable it is for being a beta program.
My questions concern more the area of customization rather then functionality.
1: Is there any way of adding my own Smart categories? I'd love to be able to reorganize some apps into a slightly different hierarchy/grouping.
2: Is there anyway to get the launcher to recognize the Music player on the Galaxy S4? it refuses to use it on any of the home screens/themes I've tried even though I've got it set in the app preferences.
I'm coming from using a bunch of other launchers that are good, but not quite what I've been looking for.
Thanks in advance.
1. The function is probably going to get added

on the S4 m8 just select widgets from themer menu then select the music player widget
Alldroid, these themes already have a music player widget as part of them. Replacing it with the stock music player widget would ruin the theme. For now I have it pointing to Play music player, but I would like to have the Samsung music player be the default app for playing music.

Hi,
1. We are planning on doing this in the future.
2. The manufacturer music players are incredibly hard to incorporate, but it will also be added in the future.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

You can log in using your Google account. You needed a Google account to log into the Google Play Store and download Themer, therefore you can use that same account

What is your favorite oh so special app you cannot live without?
I like a TON of apps, from games to entertainment and so on and so forth. but, my favorite app is....
*drum roll*
SLACKER RADIO.
Not only is free streaming radio, you get to pick your stations and you genres. Unlike pandora where you must type your favorite artist/band etc... You can pause skip and favorite songs.
Pretty awesome. I would be sad without it.
So tell me, what is your favorite app?
I absolutely love Lithium Music Player... Eliminates the need for an album art grabber because the one built in is incredible! Plus the graphical interface is very cool!

ePocrates, for work.
Love the fact that the beta android version seems to run faster than the iPhone version, and is also much easier to read with larger font
Second favorite app right now is probably the game Air Control
Tippy Tip, Aldiko, AndroNote are runners up

A tie between Slacker radio (i even subscribed for the monthly fee) and Beautiful Widgets. quick question do you know how to "fine tune" the station on android? i could do it on my iphone but cant find it here.
I never new knew you fine tune it. I will check on my sisters iPhone and see what you mean.

I think beautiful widgets is a given, it makes the phone. I love the mobile buzz widget and get excited any time my vibrant is the subject. Also adw launcher and curve fish widgets. I just can't decide!

Honestly I think I'd have to say the good old stock web browser. I use that more than anything. I've tried alternative browsers but I always come back to stock. The gestures and add-ons in dolphin are great, but the browser is just too slow imo.
And of course I love LP plus and Slacker.
Beautiful widgets, launcher pro, slacker radio subscribed, hd youtube app(replaces stock so I can watch hd as default) ebuddy, photo funia, xda app

Doggcatcher. Podcasts make up about 80% of all listening that I do and that app has saved my sanity on the Android platform. Best 7 bucks I ever spent.
Id have to say that SetCPU is my favorite. Sure I dont interact with it that much, but it makes a world of difference. It allows my phone to run at blazing speeds when needed and then throttle down to near nothing all very quickly and automatically as needed. Now I have awsome performance but on a battery that lasts me all day.
Close runners up are mypics, screenshot, and a few games. Actually I just thought of something, a tie with setCPU will have to be One Click Lag Fix as it has taken my handset from lame to badass in no time at all.

Thanks for mentioning this. Great app. I really dig the slide up menu for artist,track,genre search because it really makes for a one handed operation. Man its really nice. The album art grabber worked great for a few albums I didn't have art work for.
These two are my fav on ipad2, flipboard for social news and planetary for visualuzing music collection.
Do screened some in android market, none I found good enough to ....
Any app you found good?

Try the following:

Pulse
My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

Hi,
I was wondering if there were a better music player for my SGS2 as the stock one is really awful with tags. But I would really like to keep using it, because it displays controls in a notification and on the lock screen, so I'm a bit confused...
Is there any app that displays controls the same way? Or is there any mod of the stock app that better handle tags?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor English
PowerAmp allows editing of tags and has a lockscreen widget. Give it a try!
I know that one and have already purchased it, but I find the stock unlocker pretty good even if it has its own defaults, so I'd like not to change it if it's possible accordingly to what I want :/
Another solution would be to find a software or application that uses the same tags as the stock music player so it wouldn't be messy anymore

Wouldn't it be very cool to have a music player application with a visualizer? Before my current android phone I had most of music on my PSP and the one thing I missed the most was the visualizations it did of the music. Does anyone know of an android application that does something similar? I know my friends GSII comes built in with a visualizer but its very basic.
I have included a video to demonstrate the visualizer on the PSP and I spent sometime on my 2 favorite effects.
It would be really cool if there was a similar program or if a developer would put this in their apps. Most of the music apps that I have tried don't have anything like this at all.
Just in case the link doesn't work go here
In the video I run through all 7 visual effects and then I go over my 2 favorites. I personally like the 2nd (0:42 seconds in and again at 3:33) and 4th (1:13 seconds in and again at 4:50) effect. And near the end I leave it on the last effect because that one takes a while to fully show what it does. I personally want something like the 2nd effect. If I can find an app that does just that then I would be happy.
Seems nice for the player I am making
On aokp, I use the spectrum wallpaper. It looks like a great Visualizer

You can install the Sony walkman app with visualizer add on. I am loving it. It has about ten themes for the visualizer. It was pulled from on of the new Sony phones. Think it'll satisfy your needs.

Exactly what I want...I literally searched the web many days for this hoping to find,but in vain. I thought I was the only one who thought about it but glad there are others like me who miss the psp system...:highfive::highfive:
So I love my gs3 but I also love the double tap feature on the iPhone which enables the music shortcut or widget to any music that's playing, Pandora, spotify, your own music on memory etc. Would it be impossible to "hack" the gs3 home button to do something similar to that? Please? I personally don't know anything about development, but would generously donate to any developer interested in this. Again, don't even know if it's possible and if this is even the right place for this. Just trying to get some feedback on the subject.
Cheers.
