Hi i recently got the galaxy s5. ( i love the phone, but pissed about knox). anyway i am on public transit a lot and listen to my music and play games at the same time. well recently i got final fantasy 6 and there is no in game volume control(with seams like it would be a obvious thing to include). so when i turn it down, it turns down media which is both the music and the game. this completely kills the game for me as my music takes priority when i am on the bus. i got the this phone to also replace my falling apart ipod and phone. this seams like such a minor problem i can not solve. any program i can find requires a rooted phone ( with i dont have because of gay ass knox security)

Guys
Just picked this up today after having Windows Mobile phones for the past few years.
Been searching for hours, and not sure I am going to hear what I want, but is it possible to play a .asf file on these phones.
I listen to the Horse Racing commentary on my Vario III, by putting into the browser, audio.teamtalk.com/ladbrokes. This then boots up media player which plays Labrokes Live, which is audio.teamtalk.com/ladbrokes/?MSWMExt=.asf.
This is not recognised on the phone and I cannot find any application that would.
Beginning to wonder if I have gone for the wrong phone.
So, I am moving on up from my eris and wanted to set it up as a remotely controlled wifi stereo with my speakers. I was wondering if there was any way to use my new phone to remotely control it? (aside from having google voice set up on it with tasker so I can start an app) Any help would be appreciated.
I'm in the same situation as you. Recently upgraded, but still love my Eris and would love to re-purpose it. As far as your question goes I found this article that you might be interested in. XDA isn't letting me post a link but if you google "VNC android" look for "Remotely Control Android Phone [VNC Server]". The website is taranfx.com.
Now in the near future posts like this are going to become more and more prevalent as more people move away from the old Eris to bigger and better phones. I would be really excited if I could download a ROM for the Eris geared toward media player/iPod Touch like functionality. Maybe strip out phone and messaging stuff and pre-load some headphone controls, equalizers, video players or VNC functionality like the OPs question? I'm just throwing ideas around but I figured this would be a good place to put my suggestion.

*IF* you use your computer as your media hub/server/DVR like me then you can remotely control VLC/VideoLAN and Media Player Classic for Home Cinema with Android apps for the purpose, over WIFI. I don't actually do it because my phone IS my internet right now, but it looks solid.
i was in the same situation a while ago too. someone told me about webkey. its in the market, and you can control the phone from anywhere (doesnt need wifi or bluetooth).
from what ive read, you can not directly connect to the phone if you live in america. i do, and whenever i try, the browser times out. using the webkey website and logging in however, works just fine. actions you do from the computer happen on the phone within 1 second, but sometimes it may take 3-4 seconds to refresh the picture on the website.
i will look into this vnc thing..
First step would be a way to toggle the CDMA radio off, while leveaing wifi and bluetooth on. I know you can use *#*#4636#*#*, but when you reboot the radio is back on.
Bump.
I too would like to re-purpose my Eris as a music or media player of some sort.
Hi community.
I have Asus TF101 running on rooted 3.2.1, Revolver 3.11 ROM.
Here's situation:
I've installed from mobile market a game named Blood&Glory. It downloaded additional files, game start ok, I've played for few minutes and quit it. Later, I've decided to run it again but can't find it in installed apps. Mobile market's "My apps" also do not have it in list as if I haven't installed it ever. But web market do says that I have it installed. It was yesterday.
Today, I was going to watch some movie on my TF101, so I plugged earbuds and surprise! I was hearing music from that Blood&Glory game intro! Interesting thing is that when I plugged out earbuds, music stops playing - I can't hear it on internal speakers, but when I plug them back - I can hear various game tracks changing each other. Furthermore, it not shown in running process list. I've rebooted device and odd behavior seem disappear. I have to mention, I switched device off for night, so it feels like this game loaded when I plugged in earbuds.
I am very confused and concerned about it. Please advise how can I get rid of this nasty thing?
just format your phone.

It's a tablet. Maybe try to discover the game file name and search over /data for anything about the app, over /cache too, and maybe on the rest of the device (/sdcard and whatever is called the internal memory for media and such in devices with huge internal memory).
Hi all,
I have a Klyde head unit for my Honda Civic, This one.
- I am running Malaysk's latest ROM from 12 Feb.
-I use CarHomeUltra as my launcher by allowing it to take over the home button (only the software button though, it will not take over the physical home button).
-I have Google Play Music set up as my preferred media player in all places I could find (Carhomeultra, headunit app, the xposed modules) and I have it setup so that it starts playing music right away by using Automagic which is an app like Tasker.
-This whole setup starts once my phone's bluetooth pairs with the head unit, at that time my phone starts a wifi hot spot and the head unit connects to it and does its thing. It all works, but it takes what seems like forever to actually start playing music. This has worked great on earlier setups that I had so I don't know if I have mucked everything up with conflicting settings in the xposed modules or not.
-It is about 30 sec to actually load up android (has been that way since a very early MCU that I was on where android loaded in like 18 sec!), this part I have come to accept. But it takes up to 3 minutes for all my steps to kick in and actually start playing the music.
-I have messed with the PCV startup app, added Google Play Music, automagic, bluetooth, carhomeultra, and anything else I could think of to speed it up. Now when android loads up, I am right at the google play music screen, so that seems to be working.
Do you guys have an efficient setup or know of the best way for me to get this working as optimal as possible? I love how we have a dedicated forum now but still find it difficult to find exactly what you are looking for.
Apologies for perhaps using the wrong forum, I have to wait to create this thread in either the "general" or "Q&A" forum.
Contact the author of this program will help you do, the download will be 20-30 seconds. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3246437
I bought an LG V410 tablet with the intent of using it in my car as a media hub. I got a tablet data plan yesterday and was excited to finally use the tablet as intended. I installed CM 13 so only the basic Google apps are installed. But when I finally get around to using the tablet, I find that having Google Play Music running in the background and Google Maps open, navigating to my destination kills the background music.
Is there some way I can free up memory so that navigation and background music can work simultaneously?
You can try something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartprojects.MemoryLocker&hl=en
If that doesn't help, you might look into seeing if your kernel supports swap and you can try creating some virtual RAM from an SD card.\
Also, you should freeze any other non important app that you don't need to use if you're just using it for media.
If your plans were to use it as a media hub then you really didn't research it. Maps will eat up most of your ram. Always has and always will. Depending on the media player (on board is normally less ram hungry) that will eat up a good amount as well. There are some work around that kinda work. Not stable or don't hold for long before acting up.
I would just get a diff tablet for it and maybe use this one as a control device.
