I use the timer when I'm cooking and recently*, it doesn't play a sound when the timer ends. Is there a way to change it? Could I have accidentally deleted or .nomedia'd the folder where the sound file resides?
Possibly related, my calculator is missing.

i've been really excited at the idea of ditching my mp3 player and only carrying my phone. usually it will play one song, but then program will lock up after that and eventually require a force close. it seems to happen in different roms as well. BUT it also happens in my sound and display settings when i try to increase or decrease the notification volume in alarm settings or when i try to increase the alarm volume. I'm pretty much afraid of any slider options. I'm sure others have had this problem, i just want to know if there's a quick fix or its just a problem with the o.s.
if it helps i am rooted. i thought it was my processor clock settings being too low, but it happens on performance mode as well. i am using the fascinate music player too, but i don't think it matters. thanks.

I'm having the same problem here using the Music Player that comes with SyndicateROM and WinAmp. I'm using Eclair (SyndicateROM) with the DI18 modem and have never had this problem before. Even if I go into Astro and try to play the file that way, it still will only play one song.
If you need any information just let me know.
I'm on stock just did one click root. Native player worked fine for me... No problems whatsoever, multi tasking was hit or miss but pretty damn good, hard to overdo it and stop the music for me....

Any more specific than that? I know there was a workaround at one point which touted removing the DRM apks to increase battery life.

Hi. Im wondering if there is a modified gallery apk floating around. I really hate picasa, with a passion. Even if it isnt the 3D gallery, I dont care. When I remove the gallery and use a third party viewer app, we cant set lock screen wallpapers. Thanks!
SOLVED
Under Accounts and Sync|Google, uncheck the Sync Picasa Web Albums box and they wont show up in the Gallery.
My fav picture viewing app that I bring with me to every rom I run is QuickPic. Its super small and fast and does everything I want it to, including setting homescreen and lockscreen pics.
Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbGVuc3cuUGljRm9sZGVyIl0.
If you're referring to the fact that your email auto checks for new mail every 30 min. you can go into your email settings and set the frequency of checking email to "Never".

Remove the stock gallery and you can not set lock screen wallpapers, even with quikpic. Which Ive used on all of my devices. Looking to remove the picasa sync option altogether which you cant do unless you remove the 3d gallery, but then you cant set lock screen wallpapers. Hence the search for a modified stock gallery.
SOLVED
I've never seen my email app use any inordinate amount of battery life as a result of it running in the background nor have I ever read a post of how someones stock email client is draining batt life. Is that whats happening to you?
And to avoid the issue of setting wallpapers with other apps, just don't remove the stock gallery app and the 3rd party apps you use should set wallpapers just fine. If you don't like the stock app, don't use it. But to remove it altogether sounds like its leading to problems.
Not sure what you mean by remove Picasa sync option altogether. Just uncheck the box and its done, no more syncing, or are you referring to removing the menu enrty/option altogether under Accounts and Sync|Google.
If so I guess I'll go now. It sounds like you want dev help from someone willing to work on code for you. Thats waaay outta my league.

I modified the stock Gallery apk so that I wouldnt have the "Sync Picasa" option under the accounts in "Accounts & Sync".
I really do not like having that option in there, so I solved my problem.
I have attached the Gallery apk to share if anyone else is as picky as I am.
I simply moved it to /system/app, overwriting or deleting the original, then fixed the permissions. I kept the original odex file. Rebooted and all is well.
Extract the zip/rar file and use the apk inside.
I hope some of you find this useful.

You got me. I'm not a dev just a tinkerer. Be certain that it's named correctly, no spaces, perhaps at the beginning of the file name etc.. When you copy it to /system/app it should ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file. That'll tell you it's named correctly. Unless there is something else that you're missing, it should work, as it worked for me. I wish I could do it for you, man. I simply copied the apk from my sd external and pasted it into /system/app, fixed the permissions and rebooted. After the reboot, I confirmed the gallery worked then I cleared cache and dalvik just for the heck of it. Really sorry it's not working for you as easily as it did for me.

Anyone else who uses the stock TW calendar have this problem?
The notification sound keeps changing back to "On Time". I keep setting it to a custom sound, the sound plays. I back all the way out of calendar. When I go back it's changed back to "On Time".
Anyone else.....any suggestions?.
I am using it with a calendar synced through exchange. I'm on LG8
Thanks

Wish I could figure it out, but I'm no dev. Something has to he keeping the change from sticking. I had a similar issue with my E4GT on GB. If you changed the default calendar to something other than My Calendar, changing the ringer wouldn't stick.

I had a similar bug in the stock calendar on my Epic 4G. I can't believe it still isn't fixed.
So here's my work around. Copied the original "On_time.ogg file from /system/media/audio/notifications to my pc using ES file explorer. looked at all the tags...It has Samsung in the Artist, album, and comment fields, and the name "On Time" in the title field. So, I renamed it On_Time_Backup.ogg, then I converted the sound I wanted to use to ogg, renamed it On_time.ogg, placed Samsung in the comment, album, and artist fields, and On Time on the title field. Then I copied it (and the backup) back into the /system/media//notifications.
Guess what....I still can't change the notification sound in the calendar, but at least now it's the sound I want.

Thanks for the quick response, however, when I open ES file sxplorer, i do not see a "system" or "media" folder. I do see a "notifacations" folder, but that only has a few sound files that I copied there. In the settings I did select "show hidden files".
I have opened every folder in there and I have not found the one which has the ring tones/ alarms like I am looking for.

The file path is "sdcard/notifications" if that helps.

By the way, I have this problem as well on my Galaxy Note 2 running 4.1.2 .... So frustrating. It always just ends up back on "On Time" ... the notification I pick actually works for a little while .. like maybe a day before switching back.
I have Google Calendar installed as well (seems the Sync for Google Calendar doesn't work otherwise) so I will just switch to that as the notification source ... but can't believe this issue is across multiple phones and still isn't fixed.
My stock calendar keeps reenabling its notifications. I've grabbed Google Calendar from the market and frozen the stock calendar.
Yep I have noticed this too. I will be doing the same thing.

Hi Guys,
I use this function to prevent being disturbed at night.
However I hate the Icon associated with this feature. Is there a way to hide this (phone is rooted) without using Exposed framework etc?
Thanks,
I assume that you are talking about the notification icon. The notification icon is a feature implemented to let the user know that the phone is in Blocking mode, which is pretty important considering that one might miss phone calls and alarms if using the phone in this mod without knowing. So the icon is a pretty important indicator that cannot be removed only by messing with the framework. I am sorry to be disappointing you, but there's no other way.

I'm not sure I agree. The blocking is only setup for early hours of the morning. Why do I need to know Blocking is enabled for the rest of the time. Also it is set to allow those I consider important to call. As such I don't need or want it.
I also think your wrong that this can't be done as a Google search shows a mod to do just this is available for the s3 however I'm not going to flash that.
I could just install exposed but I find it has negative effects with my rom.

It is possible by editing the framework, for sure. Go ahead and try the app. You can also edit the framework manually in order block any icon in the notification bar. That would clear any other secondary effects of that app, but also would involve messing with the rom files

I have been searching for a solution to this forever, but cannot find one. I want to completely and utterly remove the Touchwiz lockscreen and replace it with the stock one. I know it is doable as I found instructions for how to do it, but they were unfortunately rather over my head. Is there an easy way to do this?
Please note, I am not talking about simply disabling it and replacing it with some third-party unit from the play store. I'm talking mucking around in the /system folder and deleting it entirely.
Thanks.

To answer your question, no, it's not this easy. Lockscreen simply does not fall into a certain file or folder. It is tied into framework-res, SystemUI, and Settings.apk. Removing as much as you can will likely break Android OS as this is a system level thing and is tightly integrated. Your only option is disabling. If you can't disable it thru settings, where you set it to none but it's still slide to unlock, you can use Tasker and an on-boot profile to disable keyguard action. That will cause your device to show launcher when you click power button.
Hope this helps,
