Help Mediascap Stops When Phone locks

[Jcol]

Sorry about the newbie question but I haven't been able to figure this one out yet. When I'm playing MP3's using Mediascap (only player I've tried) the player stops whenever the phone goes to lock. I have my phone set for a 30 screen fade and then it locks soon after that. This means I have to poke the phone every 30 seconds to keep the song playing. I did a search and found something about adding the application to the task killer ignore list by doing a long press on the app and selecting ignore, however when I long press Mediascap I simply get a trash can popping up. Any help would be appreciated.

You have to long click when you have the task killer open, i recommend deleting the task killer anyway. The phones perfectly fine without it.

Do yourself a favor and download Mixzing from the market.
It's free, an awesome music player and has a widget.
I use it every single day.

Thanks - I just deleted Task Killer and that solved the problem. Another reason not to use Task Killer.

Hi.

You don't long press the app shortcut, you run the app, open your task killer where you should now see it running, long press on the entry and select ignore...

Do it, will take you all of 5/10 minutes to root change your font and unroot. Simples

But i'm under warranty and insurance - doesn't that affect it ?

Cos knowing my luck i'll need to claim afterwards lol

It does yes which is why I suggested the one click method, as you can unroot and delete the app. Face your fears.

Ok drop the app and instructions, will consider it

And font location if possible

Hehehe never ask for much

See attachment for both font and one click app (which I used), and HERE for how to install your fonts once you've rooted.

So i can root by installing an app - change the font through SUPERUSER and then UNROOT straight after by uninstalling?

grrrr i hat new instructions outside comfort zone - suppose if it goes wrong i could drop it, smash it and get a new one lol

Once you've rooted, you need to install the following...

Superuser Permissions
BusyBox
TypeFresh
AndExplorer (required for TypeFresh)

...then you can change your fonts, unroot, and uninstall all of the above, if you want to.

That's one way I guess, but wouldn't worry too much.

Ok have clicked on root - do i need busybox ?? wasn't mentioned on XDA

 

[Merolas]

do that 1 clic root works on X10a?

 

[MrWomble]

well ignored it and rooting opened that file anyway - trying to backup the fonts to memory card but is only allowing to back up to system

I would install it, it's brought up further in the thread that installing it has helped, or you can leave it and come back to it I suppose. So you're now rooted, how does it feel.

 

[X10iUser]

Should do.

Are you sure?, I've just clicked backup but it doesn't give an option which to backup to and does it to the SD card.

Well when i click on backup - it backs up, but not to the SD card - went through the steps anyway and selected the new Font from my sd card - no change

 

[MrWomble]

** UPDATE **

Installing busybox enabled fonts to backup to SD Card

mission accomplished

 

[X10iUser]

Installing busybox enabled fonts to backup to SD Card

Not sure what it does, but if you root it seems to be essential for some programs.

EDIT:

Now you can install "ShootMe" and post some screenshots.

 

[MrWomble]

LOL i can do screenshots without that LMAO

anyway - here they are

Just a shame ya can't change the font size in general just in certain apps

I don't mind the size, small and sleek. Can you use ADB then, how about changing your framework-res now?

Ha - change my what ???

Handcent SMS allows font size to be changed, bolded or italic'd too

 

[X10iUser]

LOL. Basically the gui of the phone which includes things like your statusbar, menu icons ect, all those can be changed by editing your framework-res.
