Hi there,
I was looking around for an app to let you choose different ringtones for contacts on a priority basis.
I found something similar by v3patel, but it didn't allow me to prioritise, e.g. a 'personal' ringtone to take precedence over a 'business' ringrone when a contact is in both categories.
....so I made this app. I hope that it might be useful for others too, do as ever let me know of any bug reports or feature requests.
EDIT: If you were testing v0.1, please upgrade to v0.2 for an important bugfix!
Download Link Here - v0.2
This app requires the .net compact framework on your device. For WM6 this comes pre-installed in ROM, others need to download here

=====
Instructions
============
1. Choose a category and a ringtone.
2. Click 'Add to list' to add it to the priority list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've chosen all your desired categories and ringtones.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to order your list into priority; categories at the top take precedence over categories below them.
5. Click 'Set Now' to make the changes.
Troubleshooting
===============
The app assumes that the ringtones are stored in \Windows\Rings. If this is NOT the case, go to the menu and choose 'Set Folder' to point it to a different location. This setting is currently NOT stored (sorry!) but will be in a future release if I get time!
Further help / support

Please go to www.fatattitude.com/software or post in this thread
cool, will try
Good work....
Hey, great work and a good idea...
will try it also (it's too late to tell someone to call me )
Maybe it could be possible to listen to the ringtones before adding in a future release ? Just as input for you....
what does it mean "choice currently not stored" ? Will the changes be made to the categories, but when you restart your app, you can't see it anymore ? I think it is this way, but i'm not really sure....
Anyway, i like it !
Cheers, Peter

No, it just means that your preferences aren't stored, including where you tell the app to look for the ringtones. Your contacts will be set to the new ringtones you ask for and will stay this way, even after a reset.
nice work. will try today. thx

Sorry, I forget to mention that the app requires the .net compact framework 2.0 to be installed, perhaps this is giving you the error. Download link added to first post.

Hi, for anyone experiencing problems with ringtones not playing in v0.1, please upgrade to v0.2 for an important bugfix... ...first post updated!
Do please keep feedback & suggestions coming - nearly 200 downloads and no comments on the program!

wm6 should have 2.0 by default. at least on official rom. I believe the bape rom should also have it. Anyway, I will try 2.0 out tonite and report later.
has anyone tried this on a WM Treo?

No, please try it out and let us know if possible!
If you just want to test the app, you could always add a contact to a new category, for example, "Test". Then just run the app and assign all contacts in category "Test" to a ringtone. If the contact you changed is successfully updated then the program works for you! If not, no harm done.
Do let us know if you have success.

It is perhaps to do with the recorded version number of your ROM and the settings for my CAB file.
Can you post the exact error message that you are receiving, along with when you are receiving it? Then I can try and help you.

It didn't work on my Prophet running WM6.
The program itself works, and assigns the correct ringtone to each category, but when a person calls, the default ringtone that is set in sounds & notification is played instead of the category ringtone assigned.
In each contact's information, the correct ringtone for that category is assigned. But it doesn't play that tone when that person calls.
When I open someone's contact detail and tap the ringtone, the left softkey changes to "play". When I tap that, there's no sound.
However, if I assign that same ringtone manually in the contact details, it plays when I tap "Play"
Hope you understand what I mean...

Thank you - if only all bug reports were that detailed!
Can you confirm that you're running v0.2 of the program? There was a bug in v0.1 that caused this behaviour. (see first post for download link)
C
Hi carlosp,
Yes, v0.2 works perfectly. Thanx for this app! It really saves us the chore of having to assign a ringtone for each contact individually.
Now, I'm trying to decide if I still need innesoft address book...

No problem - let me know if you have any bug reports or more feature requests. I was thinking perhaps add an 'Any Category' option in the drop down, so that it's possible to unassign ringtones from all contacts in order to clear everything off and start again.
Hi,
something strange happened: I flashed my prophet to Prophet Touch VII ROM (I was on v6 before), and the Tone Manager didn't work.
Ran the program as usual, but after that I got the same problem as described in my post above. The ringtones are assigned to each contact but doesn't play during the incoming call. Exactly the same prob as in v01.
Strange....??? it was working before on my previous ROM....
A request: the folder is not saved but always reverts back to \windows\rings at each opening of the program. I have mine in the SD card... can you make the prog save the SET FOLDER?
Thanx...
EDIT: I re-downloaded the program from your website and re-installed it, and it works! Very strange, maybe the file in my PC got corrupted or something...

Spotify App with Bluetooth metadata (i.e. album , title , artist ) modification.
Attached is current version @ 4/1/12 (v0.5.4.73) - works perfectly with my Subaru Bluetooth, let me know how you go.
Installation Instructions (from fayez @ spotify):
NOTE: you will have to redownload your music (this may be prevented by manually copying the apk)
1. Download the .apk file and get it onto your phone (you don't need the AVRCP zip file at all - it's for reference only)
2. Uninstall your current version of Spotify
3. Install the custom .apk (you may need to turn on the ability to install from unknown sources first... It's in Settings > Security for me... Make sure to turn it off afterward)
4. Launch the app and log back into your Spotify account and enjoy.
You won't receive update reminders from the Play store, but will need to check manually (if you do see one, let me know so I can patch it. )
Original Post:
Hi guys,
I've been trying to modify the Spotify app so that the title, album and artist information shows up over bluetooth with AVRCP. I found a really helpful site with a patch/diff file showing the smali changes that need to be made. I've had a crack, but I think the current version of Spotify is different to the one the patch was made for.
the patch is set to make changes to one smali file (ad.smali) (smali/com/spotify/mobile/android/service/ad.smali)
however the important parts of that file are now in x.smali (smali/com/spotify/mobile/android/service/x.smali)
Any guidance/help would be appreciated. It frustrates me how my car stereo doesn't show up any useful information (even though it does with the stock music app)
I've attached the original smali, my attempt as well as the patch file.

I've successfully made the old version, works perfectly with my Subaru Bluetooth. I'll keep trying to get the new version working....

2 things worth mentioning - it broke facebook authentication for me, but I fixed that by going into my spotify account on their website and generating a device password and using my device username/password.
https://www.spotify.com/us/account/set-device-password/
Secondly, the track progress isn't working on my 2012 VW RNS-315 but the display and controls still work.
Sad how everybody has been asking for this for over a year and Spotify just makes excuses and basically tells everybody it's too hard.
Thanks! Very nice to see this.
I so hope spotify see fit to incorporate this into the official client.
Just one thought -- I also tried the method at http://www.julian-young.com/2011/04/21/finding-the-spotify-external-sd-location/ to move offline storage to sdcard, but the removal of the app to install this one clearly undoes that.
Is there any easy hack to this one to move storage to sd? (again a feature spotify need to put back)?
I realise an alternative is to root and fix up at the filesystem level using links/directory bind, but currently I'm using 2 apps (sky go, pingit) which have some issues with rooted phones (though I may give up on them anyway)

It's strange they removed SD card storage. I use directory binder for that. You could hard code it. I'll look into it.
In terms of track time. It should be possible. I'll have a look into it. I'm pretty new to mucking around with smali though

Thanks mate - very useful. Just installed it and will test it on my way back home. Could you please add an information in the first post, that all offline music will be deleted when uninstalling the original app? Hoped that a redownload of all tracks wouldn't be needed but unfortunately it does.

I works good in my volvo however the meta text updates 10-30 seconds after the new song starts, or if I press Next track button in my car stereo.
To have the meta text update instantly you need to select a song in the spotify app in my android phone.
Anyway, a big THANKS for improving the app!!!

Tried to install this yesterday, but since I have used the mentioned trick to have the music stored on my external card (install old version - change path - upgrade), the installation failed when trying to install this patched version. I guess this has to do with the signing key.
I'm not that familiar with Android development (yet), but I tried to replace the updated version apk with the patched, and it didn't work. Do they have to have the exact same name for this to work?
Is there any other way to replace the currently installed version manually? Would it work if I decompiled/repacked both the old version and the patched one and signed with the same key?
Would really love to have the bluetooth working, but I rate the possibility to have the music stored on SD card higher.
try this

I had problems as well. App did not work when I tried it first.
However it works good now after I installed it again using this procedure:
1. Clear cache / erase data files in : Settings, Apps, Spotify.
2. Uninstall old Spotify.
3. Install new patched App.
4. Login using Spotify username/password (do not login by using Facebook).
Honestly I think it's nuts that someone had to patch this in ahead of Spotify's actual development team.
I appreciate this. Just installed a new head unit and it bothers my OCD that I can't see any metadata.

Yes, I know it works if I unstall first. Sorry if I was unclear.
But since I have used the method of first install an older version to set the offline path to the external card, and then upgrade to the latest verson, I don't think this setting will "survive" if I uninstall first.
Hence, I would like to simply "replace" the currently installed version with the patched apk, without doing an actual install. Is that possible somehow?

This is what I've been waiting for ages!
I tried to set it up with Galaxy Nexus (and VW RCD-510), but no luck so far.. Did you managed to set it up also with Nexus?
Thanks for this! Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Sony MEX-BT4000U head unit though. I completely removed the original version of Spotify (including deleting data and cache) and then installed this version but there's still no track, album or artist information displayed on the unit. Any ideas?
I happened to come to this app called "perfect app protector"...
In it I found a option which could get the app in stealth mode...
Once in stealth mode it would:
1) dissappear from app drawer <obviously>
2) dissappear from system application list too...!
3) it would simply not show that it's running in background...
Like u close the app and it would be out of notification panel...
4) it worked in the background but didn't show up in task manager...
5) only way to open the app wz by dailing the it's password in the dialer and calling... ( I wonder what wifi only user's do..)
I wanted to port it in other apps I have...
So I started learning the language but even after two weeks I cant get the coding which does all this....
Basically would anyone be able to hind me how to put all this in the apps...??
Apps that don't have them...
I will not be redistributing the modified apk and its purely for personal use only... for apps like my anti theft I need this.
Plus I have already brought in the donate version of app(perfect app protector) to support the dev and coz im taking inputs from his app ...
Im not talking about copying and pasting it. Just the feature in my preferred app which I'll b writing in it with the modification I want...
I'm talking about putting the code in the app , so I guess this iz the correct forum. If it's not direct me to one...(trying to learn the correct language to put in the app)

hi,
this tutorial quoted from HTC one x thread (thanks to mr1029x) and this is the thread.
Somehow HTC (or GraceNote music database?!) didn't allowed to download the lyrics for some countries (geographic limitation!! may be),
so for those how didn't work the lyrics in the sense 5 stock music player, they have 2 solution:
1. MANUEL: this method quoted from HTC one x thread (all thanks to mr1029x) and i tested with success:
FIRST, go on the internet and search for the song's lyrics. Remember, if you want it to works properly, you need to findtwo types of lyrics: the normal text one, and synchronized one which is found in .lrc file types.
The first normal text ones are easy to find through famous sites such as metrolyrics or azlyrics,etc..
The .lrc files are a bit harder looking up and not always available on the internet. You could learn how to make one yourself right here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Personally, I used app from playstore called "KiePlayer" which download and generate a *.lrc file(synchronized lyric file) for your musics.
SECOND, create a notepad and paste the normal lyrics that you found to there, save the file without any extension, name it "Songfilename"_lyric (without quote).
In the same way, copy the content of the synchronized lyrics to notepad, save the file without any extension, name it"Songfilename"_lrc (LRC not IRC and without qoute).
For example, If your song file name is ABC.mp3, name the files ABC_lyric and ABC_lrc
THIRD, plug the phone into your computer, copy two files that you've created to:
Computer\HTC One X\Internal storage\Android\data\com.htc.musicenhancer\files\. albumarts\storage_external\Music
Remember, look for a file name Songfilename_not_available in that directory, if it exists, delete it
Enjoy
Note:
The _lrc file is required for the lyrics to pop up while you're playing music, if you don't want it, then you don't have to create
Try to google search "filetype:lrc Song Name" if you don't find any synchronized lyrics with normal searching
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. AUTOMATIC: download any VPN changer app from playstore (i tested the "TunnelBear" app with success), then change the VPN to US or UK then go to your music player and activate the automatic lyrics download and that's it, you will see all your lyrics of your musics (if they already found in the "GraceNote music database") displayed in your music player, then you can dis-activate your VPN app (this method need to be activated ONLY ONE TIME).
thanks
help me
please make screen shot or video tutorial. i did. but not working.
Thanks for this!
By the way, if you guys want lrc files, I'd suggest a program called minilyrics. It works with iTunes and downloads user-created lrc files that you can edit yourself. It's free too, and it's the way I get lrc files.

Great app, but I can't change the background. It's supposed that you watch a promotional video (ad) and the application let you choose an image, but the application says than I have a problem with my connection and don't show the video, so, I can't change the background. I suppose the full app works. (I don't know).
