[Devs New Idea] "Walkman Mode" [Need devs!!!]

[Chrisis25]

Hello, i remember in my old phone (SE w200a black) a "Walkman Mode" (airplane mode/ flight mode but in this mode my phone only can use walkman player... Only walkman player)(Yes, yes i know do you say haha! w200 is based in Java not in android but, i explain my idea now)

What would this be?:
...This would a mode for Multimedia for less battery usage
-no signal (wifi/gps/BT/edge/gprs/hspda/3g/4g/10000000g... Nothing) ("airplane mode")
-no launcher, no others apps (except system apps), open directly the Walkman player "that can not be closed or use task switch"
-system dont open facebook/camera/sms/call/games/bloatware/... nothing in memory, except Walkman player and services/system apps.
-OC profile default in Walkman mode :
*governor: lagfree (or similar)
*Scheduler: deadline (or similar)
*min:200/max:500mhz (aprox)

In this mode you dont have interruption in the music with notifications/sms/calls & you would have less battery consumption for a more extensive use (for travels or sports or if you have less battery and you want play music more minutes/hours).


This is possible? (i beleave)
in android 4.2 you can create multiple users with personal apps and profile, wallpaper, etc.
in other android exist SwitchMe, this apk can make multiple users and profiles...

*my idea would be to create a new user and not putting on another app than the Walkman player and opens automatically without allowing close, or if not also a launcher that does not consume almost no battery and put 1 icon on the desktop (walkman player).


DEVS (Now I ask you): This is possible?


i know, i can use airplane mode+killer for apps+set oc settings... but my idea is a manner easy and more prolix (other user, or option: "reboot in walkman mode")


Sorry if i post this in incorrect section and sorry for my bad english...


Users Ideas! What the project include depends on what the developer considers most useful and possible.

Nice idea, but! I think that wifi access for dlna should be available in "walkman mode" (maybe as direct link to wifi settings somewhere in walkman menu?)
At home I prefer sharing from server instead of coping files to phone

Very nice idea!
But what about including and a Gallery in this Walkman mode? To say on walkman boot the phone will rendee you two icons. One for the Walkman and one for the Gallery(for making you able to preview puctures abd video too)... but otherwise the Gallery idea will be a bit useless, because will suck ram and.performance when the filters, codecs, etc are loaded.
... i'm just only giving ideas

i mean to permit use 2G in walkman mode to don't miss phone calls its mobile anyway maybe make it choice just suggest

↓↓↓↓↓=> it is possible if 2g can be disabled. but how to disable the other signals is "airplane mode" could not do. also in my opinion this contradicts the idea of ​​"walkman mode", perhaps if the script or the modification to choose between 2g enabled or disabled would be better, but I repeat: [also in my opinion this contradicts the idea 'walkman mode "] without interruptions and less battery usage ... signal calls/sms/2g are constantly consuming memory and battery (for the signal and that those apps are always active)

Post in Q&A not Theme section

By the way it is possible to create a script to do that though it a bit harder

But Reboot to walkman MODE perhap never ever possible unless a Kernel dev help you and one advance ROM dev help you :highfive:


I'm new dev around here , can't help much

 

[jader13254]

Its possible for sure, like a toggle in Power Menu.
But difficult.

I do not know any developer, I'm on xda practically a spectator, if you are interested or believe that someone could care about this proposal could diffuse?

thanks!

Great idea!

Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app

Not much difficult, just need a couple of free hours.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO =D

I will be expectant for your next comments, many thanks for your interest in the idea =).

This is useful for less users but if is a option and remains disabled until you activate, i dont see problems.

But iam not a dev, i am a simple user whit idea.
wait to hear what a developer says.

Galery dont produce a very change in battery drain (see video yes for screen on and filters... mmm). its true video+fotos in walkman mode would very useful for some users.


Walkman mode or multimedia mode? ... its is other chance.
*but keep adding things would make losing the main essence, wait to hear what a developer says.



I edit first post with users ideas

@gagan.u20 Great idea but i think use 2G instead of Airplane mode too & No Data
have free time i hope u make it soon for CM10 maybe
thanks in advance
Cheers

Sorry, i see now, my post was moved to the ARC Forum, my idea is for Xperia 2011 in general or for LWW and compatible devices.

"Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman " -> "Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, Live with Walkman Android Development "
I publish it there at the beginning :|

although I think the same would be compatible (i think)

in airplane mode 2g is not enabled, airplane disable wifi/2g/3g/4g etc (you dont have signal in airplane mode)

For the 2g is enabled or the ability to enable already would be affecting the battery consumption. apart if you only will be allowed to use the Walkman and perhaps gallery, not use to give 2g

I did not understand if you were saying to also disable 2g ​​or permit their use in walkman mode.

yeah i mean to permit use 2G in walkman mode to don't miss phone calls its mobile anyway maybe make it choice just suggest

this will lose the idea of ​​not using any signal to prevent battery consumption, so the wi fi can be turned on or off but the 2g is connected exept that airplane mode is used, but also because the idea "walkman mode" would be losing . .. I put your recommendation in the post but modified.

i can remember than such a music player did existed and it was also at xda news. Well it wasnt that much advanced but it's main purspose was to save power so you could listen more time at your music. i think it was HoloMusic but now it seems to be dead.
