Installing Applications Through the Android Market

The Android Market is essentially Android’s answer to Apple’s iPhone App Store. As of September 2009, the Android Market already offered well over 10,000 applications, and this number has only continued to grow. In addition to the applications the Android Market offers, you can also use it to install other downloaded third party applications.

  1. Copy the APK file to your Android’s memory card and insert the card into your phone.
  2. Download and install the Apps Installer application from the Android Market
  3. Once installed, the Apps Installer will display the APK files on the memory card.
  4. Click and install your APK files.

Installing Applications With Android SDK

It is possible to install APK files without utilizing the Android Market, although the process is more difficult and complex. To avoid the Android Market, you need to use Android SDK.

  1. Download and install the Google Android SDK program and the Android USB drivers. The download links are as follows: http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html
  2. http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip
  3. You need to modify your Android’s settings to allow the installation of applications from other sources. Under “Settings,” select “Application Settings” and then enable “Unknown Sources.” Also under “Settings,” select “SD Card” and “Phone Storage,” and finally enable “Disable Use for USB Storage”
  4. This last step is easy. Open Command Prompt and type the following: adb install <1>/<2>.apk
  5. However, when you type the command, replace <1> with the path to your APK file and replace <2> with the name of the APK file.
  6. You’re done! Your application is now ready for your use and enjoyment.

*This is the paid Pro version with no ads, better battery life and more features than the free version *



Around Sound Pro allows you to listen to music or watch movies and still be aware of your surroundings.



What it does:

*PRO Version ONLY* Street Mode:


+Walk down the street and only hear the noises above the set trigger level. Never interrupts your music.

Pause Mode:


+Uses your headset’s microphone to listen for loud noises and pause your music or movie if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time the optionally resumes your music or movie.

Non-Pause Mode:

+Uses your headset’s microphone to listen for loud noises and dips your music volume if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time then returns music to regular volume.


As seen on ★Lifehacker★:

http://lifehacker.com/5895804/around…your-attention


Where would I use it?



+At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention



+At home: Don’t miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs



+At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start



+Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you


Best to use with:



Sound isolating earbud headphones with mic

- These are practically earplugs now, so don’t miss out on what’s around you.


You can use it with just headphones but be aware the microphone used is now your phone. So leaving it in your pocket wouldn’t work so well.


How to use:



Make sure your headset is plugged in.


Simply start the app, push Start, see the noise level around you, set the trigger level by using your finger to swipe the meter, hit the home button to access your music app and enjoy.


Permissions Needed:



Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)


Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)

Bluetooth: To support Bluetooth microphone option

Broadcast Sticky: To support Bluetooth microphone option


Limitations:



-Needs Froyo or Above (Android version 2.2+)

-For Pause Music Mode: You can’t be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead


Coming Soon:

More Features!


Compatibility:

I develop on a Samsung Galaxy SIII using the Samsung default music player and pause works without killing the notification bar control or lockscreen control. Recommended.

Winamp: Make sure to enable headset controls, WORKS

Samsung’s FM Radio App currently doesn’t work (actually crashes the app, sorry)

DoubleTwist: Make sure to enable headset controls, WORKS

Power Amp: Make sure to enable headset controls, WORKS

Uber Music: Make sure to enable headset controls, WORKS

MixZing: Make sure to enable headset controls, WORKS

Rocket Player: Make sure to enable headset controls, WORKS

Pandora: WORKS

Spotify: WORKS


Others: Should work if you enable headset controls.. email me if not.


VIDEO PLAYER:

MX Player

Samsung Video Player


Others: If it shows up in Target Media Apps, it should work


Note:


This is my first app so please send me feedback good or bad. If something is wrong let me know first before giving a low rating. 
Also don’t use any task killer apps, they will probably kill this program. And they’re not really worth using anyways.


Developed on a Samsung Galaxy SIII


Thanks and enjoy!


What’s in Around Sound Pro v2.0:

Big Update! Swipeable tabs layout, bluetooth mic support, choose which app to pause/resume (Works with video players too), Auto launch and start options, and more!

It’s a big update, please email me if anything’s broken.
