[Q] SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 Lockscreen Music Controls [Q]

I installed the ROM a few weeks ago and it works great. Just realized this option is on my phone :3 However I notice it doesn't work. I have the default 6 lockscreens that come with the rom, and although the music controls show on some of the lockscreens, (play, pause, forward, rewind) they do not do anything, even if I have music playing and then lock screen to access the controls. If I tap on the buttons I get the sound effect from touching them, just no control. Something I'm doing wrong? Something that can be fixed?
PS: I love using the puzzle lock, but it is one of the locks that do not show the music controls. Anyway to make it do so?
PSS: Sorry If this has been posted before, I looked and did not find anything ><

The lock screen issues have been discussed before in this thread. No fix for them right now.

Ha ha, oops. I referenced "this thread" and forgot to add the url.
Was referring to the SRF 1.2 support thread.

ICS 4.0 & All the Little Things! [undocumented features]

Just wondering for those of you who have the device already, have you guys found some neat features/tricks using 4.0 that haven't been documented or heavily advertised?
I would love to make a list of these features for other users to explore...
Lets get this started
List:

Reserved........

I know it's documented,but it was still a surprise to me - you can now finally delete apps straight from the app drawer, by dragging them just as if you were going to place them on the desktop,but then putting them in the recycle bin on the top.

No affiliation with apple. Or siri.

Nobody's talking about the search app. It's way better than the one in Gingerbread. Much easier to find stuff in your phone : music, app, sms, docs, etc. The old one was returning web search suggestion in 90% of the result... useless.
Search in browser let's you edit suggestion if you want to add something to it. But we lost popular web site suggestion

Just read it on Pocketnow but you can make folders in the favourites bar. Apologies if obvious.

When in the stock browser and you change orientation, tap the screen to make it rotate.

which runs TouchWiz, so it's not stock Android

Rotate the phone to the right whilst in any stock app (so the speaker grill and front camera are on the right). Notice that the back, home and task switch buttons have moved to the top of the screen so that they stay on the right.

When using an ics app hold down on an icon in the action bar to get a description of what it does

Not heavily advertised, but it should be:
The quick control in the browser. Almost the same as on honeycomb. Activate it in the labs settings of the browser. Love it!

NICE find! Thanks!

This is known about, however you said undocumented and I haven't a single document for the Nexus/ICS apart from on one which came with the phone,telling me how to fix the battery.
Hold the volume down and power key, and you take a screen capture. Which is very handy on occasions

If you tap the volume button which makes the volume bar appear, you can then press the icon to the left of the volume bar and it toggles between ring and vibrate.

In settings/about phone. Tap repeatedly on the android version number (4.0...) then a little android appears. Keep ur finger on it and it grows into a screen animation.
If u didn't know about this,I guess u r now thinking this is a joke. Or is it?

Need someone to test; try swiping the web pages up/down using 2 fingers
, is it a feature or a glitch?

Things i noticed about the 4.0.4 update " GSM GALAXY NEXUS "

I made this thread to mention the noticed changes of this update.
1. In the setting app you will find " Dock " option which is new !
2. the rotation speed is very much better as far
3. camera seems to be better ! " better quality " and faster .
4. no animation lag in the system app! <-- i hated that lag on 4.0.2
5. Am not sure about the battery , I'll test it today ! ( and it depends on the user )
6. I noticed that when you record a full HD video it runs slow !!? is that normal , even the 720p is the same.. the soind is so clear but the video looks laggy ! <--- have you guys noticed that ?

By all users here :
7. You can no longer press the volume rocker and tap the icon to put it in vibrate.
8. Holding the power button brings up power off, airplane mode and a volume toggle consisting of silent, vibrate and sound on
9. Gtalk icon has changed.
10. On the Messaging app the unread message counter is now smaller and the colour changed to white, instead of being ics-blue.
11. The browser is incredibly faster on rendering.
12. Now is possible to access the bookmarks from the quick controls on the browser.

Two bugs that annoyed me are fixed:
Calendar widget didn't show all-day items.
When a legacy app (with ... in bottom right corner) was open, it would also show (and unlock) on the lock screen.
14. Auto brightness is better than it was
and Screenshot sound is LOUD! (I have media volume pretty low, normally; and ring volume at max. It now uses ring volume.) Very
annoying.
15. One bug is not fixed: with language set to “English (United Kingdom)”, the date is almost everywhere correctly shown as “3 April”, except in the notification bar, where
it (incorrectly) shows “April 3, 2012”.
16. video recording issues hd video is lagging a lot. inconsistent speed and also sound
17. phone is much, much slower to start charging through the POGO pins.
18. You can now hold the shutter button to focus and release to capture a photo. This was present in 4.0.1 but removed in 4.0.2 and now back again.
19. we can now take a photo while shooting a video in 1080p mode. just like the ONE X Claims to be able to do because of it's dedicated image chip . just tap on the screen while recording.
20. that the voice-to-type has changed .. now u can choose ur language or add more languages from the keyboard and no need to go to the setting app also Arabic voice
detection is present and working not as Google as the English one but still it is a good thing to have ..
21. The stock calendar widget now shows a colour square for each calendar entry, and the calender entries have been reduced in size to fit more entries on screen.
22. A whole stack of new ringtones, a few of them are pretty loud too.
If anyone noticed another things please mention it here

Holding the power button brings up power off, airplane mode and a volume toggle consisting of silent, vibrate and sound on. I've gotten quite accustomed to using that one very quickly.

About the video recording issue, anyone noticed that, guys ?

Yeah, this really needed a whole new thread.

I have no problems doing this. If i press the volume rocker, i can slide the bar all the way left, or tap at the left and it goes on vibrate just fine.
Is that what you mean?

I too used to hit the volume rocker and then touch the icon of the phone to immediately mute. The benefit of this was that one touch of the volume up button again cancelled the mute and put the phone back to the original volume.
Yes you can touch the 0% point on the slider or slide it all the way to the bottom, but then "up" on the volume rocker only adds one notch to volume rather than restoring the original volume.
Seems an odd thing to remove from 4.0.2...

My observations:
Definitely feels a lot snappier.

One more bug .. the Google play (market) icon which is on the top right of the app drawer seems to be not working anymore! Anybody experienced the same ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Works for me. I've been using that the whole day, except on one occasion on which I pressed on the app itself.

OK .. restarting the fone solved that bug out )))

overall it's a great improvement though.

[Q] How does "Epic 4G Settings (EpicParts)" work?

Preface: I've asked about how to disable capacitive backlights on stock TW ROMs, and now I independently found half of the answer.
By looking inside EpicParts.apk from CM-based ROMs, I obtained the position of soft key "device": /sys/devices/virtual/sec/t_key , and by modding the file "brightness" under it, capacitive key backlight turn off.
However, on TW ROMs this never persists no matter how I set the permission / owner, while on Incredible S, after modding I can mod the permission to r--r----- to prevent system from reverting this setting.
Plus, on pre-CM10 era ROMs, "Epic 4G Settings" is there but even if I disable the backlight, it always light on for a wee second every time I unlock, which is pretty annoying as I use onscreen keys heavily.
Digging further into CM10's EpicParts (which can totally turn backlight off, regardless of unlock), it seems that it creates two files under the folder, "touchleds_disable" and "touchleds_voltage", but I don't know how this behaves, nor can I imitate the behaviour.
So... it'll be appreciated if anyone can explain to me how EpicParts (of JB) works and how I can reproduce its effects. Thanks all

I don't really have an answer to your question but I have a question for you lol. What you did disabled the lights completely? Like even the little flash they give when they are pressed on? They're just completely off?

Yes, that's the effect I'm looking for, and by now only CM10 and PA 2.5+ can do that; however, if I choose to disable them completely, the "Recent Apps" view will automatically pop up randomly, and I dunno why

Which service or app does haptic feedback use?

I've just rooted and greenified and all's gone well, but somewhere along the line I've lost haptic feedback.
Does anyone know which service might have been the one that controls the haptic feedback please?
Thanks!
P.S. On closer inspection, it is still there on the lock screen, but not using the keyboard for email and other stuff.

On Kit Kat the touch vibration is under Settings>Sound. The keyboard menu has its own setting for vibration. Maybe Touch Wiz is different?

Thanks for the reply.
There is no setting to turn it on and off on the 8.4, or at least it isn't in the usual places. I'm 99% sure it was working ok before the greenifying process. I installed the google keyboard which allows the turning on and off of HF but sadly there's no slider to tone it down.
