Hi!
Sorry this is for Themer-related posts only. If you are referring to Themer, we do not think there is a way to do this just yet.

I have a folder on my SD card named Media that has all of my custom ringtones/alarms/notification mp3 files in it.
The built in media player wants to catalog them all and play them along with my music folder files.
I tried putting a .nomedia file in there, but that also hides them from the rest of the system so they don't show up when you try to select a ringtone or alarm tone.
Is there a way to just hide them from the media player, or make the media player only read from a specific folder?
Get MortPlayer and you can select the folder to play music from.

Looks good so far! Thanks for the tip.
MixZing also lets you select which folder to look in when searching for media. The default player from Samsung is really lacking in some important features. M3U playlist file support, lack of widget, and ability to discern between ringtones and songs.
It's a little frustrating to be listening to music and suddenly hear your ringtone going off and wondering why your phone says no one is calling.
I'm going to try MixZing as well.
I did buy a program called iSyncr which allows you to sync your iTunes playlists to the phone and it uses the playlist files from them and they show up in your playlists on the default player. If you use itunes at all it might be worth looking at. It moves the files down with the folder structure intact under it's own parent folder.
I use this app from the market StudioKUMA .nomedia Manager
This is the same as using the .nomedia file trick only by using a simpler and quicker way through a GUI interface.

Why would you need a widget when the music controls are right in the status bar? And if you need to sync your playlists try this: http://www.yellowfocus.com/blog/35-...-the-galaxy-s-for-the-stock-music-player.html

I like the stock Samsung music player because it can change songs on screen-lock mode..but I hate it when it plays my ringtones and alarms.
It'll be great if it can ignore those files but not hiding from the system.

if you have root, just push the mp3 you want as ringtone to /system/media/audio/ringtone and it will show up as selectable ringtones but won't be in the media player.

The winamp player lets you switch songs on the lock screen even the security screen lock ... as long as winamp is playing music when you want to change the song the player pops up over writing the lock ...
Also if you need to unlock the screen while winamp is still playing winamp puts a small lock icon on the upper left corner of the player that takes you to the lockscreen

I'm looking for the same thing. Putting the .nomedia file in media folder hides ringtones from system's Ringtone Picker too. But also want to stick to Sony's stock Walkman player.
I have the LiveView accessory and it uses the Android stock media player ("Music").
I would like to use it instead of Mediascape, however the link to the application is not present. Is there a wat to launch it? Or a way to add the link?
With ADWLauncher or Launcher pro press an empty place on the screen - "add Personalized Icon" - "Activities" - Browse to Music

I would like to stay with the stock home. Is there a way to launch Music without a replacement home?
BetterCut can do that too
Cool, I don't have to use AdvancedHome, it's enough to have it installed and I can add shortcuts to activities on the stock home!

Some of my album art does not show in Google music. I looked in the folders and the jpg are there but they don't show. They do show up when I use other players such as winamp etc. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix?
In the past I've had art not show up for a little bit immediately after uploading them to Google Music, but it generally did start displaying eventually. In the cases where it didn't, I manually edited the album info on the Google Music desktop site (Select album > click the little icon at the bottom right where the art should be > Edit album info > "Change" to the right under where the art should be)
Thanks for the reply was hoping to be able to do it on the phone, but no such luck I guess...
Sorry to revive this old topic, but I'm still having this issue I can see my album artwork in the browser player, but only some of them are correctly shown in the phone app. I'm using this ROM. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Thanks!
My lockscreen music player shows these items
"CURRENTLY PLAYING
Song Name
Album"
How come it shows Album instead of Artist name? Does anyone know how to get it to show Artist instead? I am using HTC's music player. Thanks.

It actually displays
"CURRENTLY PLAYING
Song Name
Album - Artist"
if the Album name is short, you can see the beginning of the artist name. This bugs me too, but I don't know that there's a way to change it..

Man this sucks!
Hey folks,
the first week with my new G Watch is over and im still impressed of the simple daily usefulness of it.
I´m kinda an early adopter and do like the freaky stuff as well (of course i had to try Flopsy Droid and so on...) but the potential in daily usage is huge I guess!
Every day a few new thoughts came to my mind, what feature I would love to have and what modification would be useful.
So I wrote some down and I think, I´m not alone with this, am I? ?
So here is my list and I will update it regularly. What ideas do u all have when using the G Watch?
Hopefully some modder, programmers or GoogleGuys get lost here :angel:
Google / System / gApps:
Maps:
- Proximity warning/information for Google locations (vibration if a friend is in a specified radius around me)
- Show small map with friend location….
- simple function: showing a map with my position on it….
gMail-App:
- Button for Deleting email
- Button for Subject and/or Text when answering or composing
- Possibility to scroll through email headers (like calendar) and open them up for reading
Settings:
- Vibration setting (duration, intensitiy, etc. depending on event
- Free choosable Apps i.e. for weather forecast etc.
Voice commands:
- “Where is contact.name?” (Shows a little map and the distance to this person)
- “Lights on” (start flashlight app or (later hardware versions…) LED)
- “Hangout to contact.name: xyz” / “Whatsapp to contact.name: xyz / and so on...
- possible to dictate punctiuation marks in german as well.. my god… cant be so hard if implemented in english for a LONG time now….
App Ideas / Wishes:
Speedometer for Cycling etc (already partly realized with "Speedometer")
WhatsApp !! Whats taking so long?
News / Headlines (App that just shows Headlines of ie. RSS feeds, with a touch you can read the whole story on the watch
App that can record Voice commands and open a specific APP for this command (on watch or phone)
Remote control apps (like for samsung TVs) should work with WEAR.. so i can switch channels and so on with my watch
Hardware: (my G Watch 2 should have...)
One or even 2 cameras, for selfies etc.
brigthnessensor for autom. display illumination
little speaker ( just for plings, alarm clock, etc)
LED for flashlight and for status messages
infrared for using it as remote control

This already exists in form of a couple apps.

Doesn't it already work like that? If I have multiple emails I only see the header and the first line and when I click on the the whole thing opens for reading.

Just disable the weather card in google now and use your own favorite forecast app. This works perfectly already. But maybe I don't quite get what you mean here ^^

Yeah would be really useful. And yes better german implementation is a must So many commands still only work in english :S
