Sound modes toggle and volume rocker options in Android Lollipop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

These are suggestions to Google.
I have designed a mock-up to represent what many Android users who use Lollipop want to see in future releases. I realize there could be many other suggestions that should be discussed, but no matter how bring up these issues, they simply get ignored.
As naive as it may look, I believe these important features must be included in Lollipop. Other Android users who don't like these suggestions should not be forced to use them, as I want Google to provide its users the choice whether to use them or not.
The two suggestions are:
1. Provide "ringer volume" toggles in the quick settings that were present in the previous Android versions.
2. Provide an option to use the volume keys to ONLY control media audio. This includes adjusting the media audio anywhere on screen.
(I realize this option is already available in CyanogenMod 11 and 10, but not 12).
Here's the mock-up.

Music Player for Pad

Hello, I developed the program to replace Pad Music Player for music players built into Android systems because I was tired of not being able to have a decent playlist with just the songs I wanted.
The program was created for the Tablet because the space is much broader and you can add video directly to a lot of functionality.
It may someday be ported to smartphone by changing the layout of the various components even if trying it on my Nexus, and there are all the features are great, there is only a few problems graph.
If you want you can go try it on my site:
www.simosoftprojects.com
or you can download it from the Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=simosoftprojects.musicplayerforpad
Let me know if you like and if you have any problems.
We placed a few pictures.

change songs using physical buttons

Hi guys.
I know CM can do this, but the volume keys are quite uncomfortable in my xperia phone. My phone has 3 front physical buttonsn and I would love to do something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is it possible?
Thanks.
nobody?
I would also like to know this.
For any former TCPMP users on Windows Mobile, you could easily map buttons to do all sorts of things within the player. Nothing has come along for Android that is anywhere near the capabilities of this player. You'd probably need root to do this on Android but I think there is demand for it.

As far I know, you can edit the keyboard layout to make that. Te problem is that you would lose the back/menu buttons...

If someone can show you a solution, it will get your phone model sales higher. Because your requirement seems very useful.

[Q] Persistent notifications from the same app/package and their order (Lollipop)

Hi, all. I have a question that I hope someone can help me answer. I've been using MeteoNotifier (gplay link here) for the last little while. The app creates two persistent notifications via 2 xml's and, on KitKat, the notifications were Current Conditions on top and the Forecast on the bottom (see example below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
With the 5.0 Lollipop update, I noticed that the notifications have switched orders (i.e. Forecast on top, Current Conditions on the bottom)(see example below)
My question is, does anyone know how I can change the order of the notifications back and can this be done by editing the xml files? I am not a developer (i.e. no Java knowledge) but I am handy with apktool and xml editing (and very limited knowledge of smali editing). Logic tells me that this most likely cannot be done by simple xml editing but I thought that I'd ask. Thanks.
PS I'm almost certain that the app has been abandoned by the dev (it has not been updated in almost 2 years) and that is why I'm posting the question here. Plus, I enjoy learning about this stuff

[HELP]Did I use a wrong word in my APP?

Last week I released a thread to introduce my new app Parasol which can solve the permission problem on Android M. I am so excited that i got lots of supports and feedback from users here. I am so appreciated.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-parasol-alpha-t3190615
Because the feature of modifying permission settings cannot be implemented on the OS lower than Android M (users can read permission tags on Android 5.x and lower), I have designed a popup to give a tip to users, just like the pic shows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I noticed that some users felt confused about the tip: "you can't modify your permission settings under Android M."
what i want to tell users is: [highlight]you can't modify your permission settings if your os version is lower than Android M.[/highlight]
But it seems like the word "under" made the expression is diametrically opposed with my original idea.
Can i just say: you can't modify your permission settings below Android M.
OR,
Can native speakers give me a suggestion on a better expression?
Also, any feedback about the app is welcomed. love you guys~

Help hiding the VPN icon in Touchwiz

In stock Android previous to 5.0 the VPN icon appears as an annoying persistent key in the top left like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After 5.0 they moved it as a system icon to the right and it can be turned off or adjusted.
It looks like this:
It seems like in Touchwiz they never updated this and the key is still on the left. Even if you're using 5.1.1 (I assume 6.0 will be the same.)
---
2 Questions:
1) Without rooting, is there a way to remove or hide that icon?
2) Is there a way to file a bug or ticket with Samsung to let them know to fix this in the new Touchwiz? Or some other way of contacting them?
1) Long press on the notification and see if you can disable the notifications there.
2) ha Good luck with that.
