Shoulder buttons (L and R) as music changers? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if there is an app or something (free?) that allows you to map the shoulder keys as fastforeward and rewins buttons like it is for the psp.

I just tried that button changer app, installed busy box and am rooted, but it doesn't seem to do anything for the Music app.

Also tried it today and it did not change anything for me aswell?
Regards Dousan...

Maybe it is because of differences between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 (OTA upgraded to preserve root)?
Hope the developer can help here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16917006

I've always used a free program (for outlook sync) that has a build in screenshot feature, it's called MyPhoneExplorer, but i dunno for sure if this also works for unrooted phone (on the site it says it should).

my good man, if this is real deal, youve convinced me to move to this phone, as this was the only feature holding me back!
now let us use the camera during music, and during calls, and well be good to go!

you'll need to be rooted, and use an app like Root Explorer, or any app that has a file manager that can access system level. go to System>App> and find two files, one is SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex either change the name of both of these files (eg: SamsungCameraOLD.API and. odex) or delete them, either way SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex should not exist anymore. now that you've done that, use that root file manger to place his hacked SamsungCamera.apk and place it in the same folder (System>App>). then restart your phone.
note* you may need to mount your R/W card, you can simply do that by the giant button at the top of Root Explorer.

Thank you! I figured it would need to be dropped in somewhere just didn't know the right location for it. :good:
EDIT: now that I got in there and looked the only file I have is SamsungCamera.apk. Now showing any .API or .odex files?

If you're on a deodexed rom, then you won't have those files. Just reboot after dropping the apk in there, make sure your permissions are correct, and you'll be good to go.
What are the correct permissions? I tried flashing the zip through CWM but no go. I'm on a deodexed Rom also tried dropping the Samungcamera.apk file into system/app...
Thanks
I hear there was a camera mod that made shooting videos a much higher quality but it only worked for the international version of the GSlll. Perhaps doing it for this would be possible at a later date?

I am actually working on the higher bit-rates also. I have a few versions right now, in testing, the only issue I am running into right now is that when you use the power button for the shutter, it also triggers the power menu. It still takes the picture and all, but its an annoyance.
Has the video recorder always had that click-click sound whenever the ringer volume is on?? That's really annoying. I thought shutter sound in the camera controlled both.

CWM and TWRP installs are interchangeable in most, if not all cases. Definitely when you're talking about a simple script like this one.

I saw that the codename android ROM (i know the its a different ROM build but maybe he has some ideas) has a the power button as the shutter already. Maybe you can ask the OP if he could advise you on the issue you are having.
Here is the link to the ROM.

[HOW TO] Turn Your M Into a BEAST! (Wifi Tether, apps2sd, Full Screen, Ect.)

I have decided to make a post with everything that I have done to my M to solve some of the issues I and many others I have found had with it.
I suggest you root your phone to get the full benefits of it and these modifications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940630
How to unlock your bootloader: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2013/04/08/motorola-bootloader-unlocking/
1. Run and function in full screen mode (No Nav Bar) (UPDATED!)
Easy way:
Download full!screen from the app market by tsorn, what makes this aspp so great is that you can set it to turn full screen on only when selected apps are running then you can optionaly set function keys to be placed in the corners for things like a back button, home, or menu, its really great!you can even set the size and opacity of the buttons, as well as location!, this app has made my razsr all i dreamed it would be!
Harder way:
This will require a app called HideBar (shocker..) found on the market it allows you to either use widgets or a system notification to hide/unhide the system bar at the bottom of the screen with multiple options on showing it again, to control your phone without your system bar I use LMT ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 ) it allows you to control your phone (Back, Home, Search, Menu) with gestures, Input number is 5, please follow the directions in the post, there are others apps that do this as well, all with differnt features, look around. This is great to play games in full screen.
2. Wifi Tether
Follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981625
3. Moving Apps 2 SD
This is somewhat a PIA until you get the hang of it but can be done using a app called Directory Bind, Official Thread: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 ) discussion on using it with the M here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913576
There is a easier way to do this if you just want to move large games over 1gb look for gl2sd in the market I tested it on my M and it works fine.
4. Notification Toggle widgets.
This is done using a great app with a amazingly helpful dev called "Notification Toggle" which can be found in the market, it supports all the great Cyanogen Like Toggles that we all love, works better if installed a system app which is really easy!~ just follow the help link in the app to see how he gives multiple examples. This is very customizable sp? from widget button styles to colors and more!
5. Fully working Android 4.2 KB with Trace!(Think Swype.)
I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD! Uses trace like swype and swiftkey, but IMO much much better, less memory, way more accurate and a cool preview function as you "swype". thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663
If you have any other great improvments you would like to share post them and I will add them to the list!
Thank you!, Hope this helps some of you enjoy your M a little more then you do.
P.S. Feel free to pm me if you need help finding or getting hold of any of apps! however if you Google "Aptoide" I think you will manage getting everything you need to set up your phone very, very, cheaply.
I take no credit for any of the information provided, this is simply a consolidation of information i found useful to modifying the overall enjoyment of my phone.
Gonna give that Notification Toggles widget a shot thanks!

Welcome, its great I changed my background to match the color of the drop down and it looks built in, ill post a screen later.
Also added #5 the android 4.2 Keyboard!
so for the 4.2 keyboard do you just switch apk's or is there some other method to installing it from the "4.2 mod package"?
edit: seeing the stock rom is odexed I'm guessing you just install the apk instead of replacing the stock one?

Its Five for me keep trying different numbers
For full screen you should try full!screen by tsorn It's been working for me. I have been using the free version. The paid version you are supposed to be able to setup full screen for only the apps you want full screen when they are run.
Thank as for the tip ill check it out now sounds more of what I want anyway
Found the app will add it to the post when I get to the PC its a really great app thanks for the heads up
Full!screen is great much better I dare say perfect for what I need.

Shoulder buttons as camera controls

I remember that somewhere deep in xda there was an option to assign L and R as focus and shutter but I have no idea where it is. I found an app but I prefer using system mod than another camera app. It needed the user to make a few changes in a file at /system but now I can't find it...
Could anyone help me? I'm abroad now so I can only use my mobile now.

[q] navbar on sammy roms

Hi to all. I tried to search everywhere all over the network. I found something but not really concerned to what I would have.
So, I explane my question:
I have enabled the soft keys modifying the build.prop. I have write the command: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and wow the navbar was shown after a reboot.
No problems and no issue. Now my desire is to change the color of these buttons. But its possible on AOSP AOKP roms like CM 10 and I have not found anythings regarding sammy roms.
If someone could help me to know how can I change it or explane me if it is possible or not I give my thanks.
Anyone can help me?
