So, I've asked a couple of times but is the LP rewrite pretty much dead at this point? It was my favorite launcher back in the day but it just isn't what it used to be.

Yeah you do, I paid for the pro license but it's still not working.

Disable headset controls in whatever app is taking focus and see if it works. Also I don't think the auto-choose option works in Phantom Music Controls, you have to specify the app.

I don't see anything like that in options for the stock music app, just some audio effects options, and I switched it from the auto-choose option to Stock app 2.3/Google Music.

It's strange, if I open up Music beta, the widget pops up on my lock screen, but it doesn't display the right track. If I hit pause, the Music Beta icon disappears like it usually does when you hit pause/stop, but then the stock music player app opens up. If I try to hit the music app hot swap button, it occasionally opens up gmail.

Actually, I had that problem too. I just uninstalled the default music app, but if you're not rooted, I guess you're screwed.

Yeah, I've tried that, and absolutely nothing happens. Works with the unlock slider though. Hmm, maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall..

Just clear the data on the app. It'll default to only having the ICS slider, which you can then long press on and edit. There are so many new features that you're probably better off starting from scratch.

For anyone running the current Google+ 2.0 beta (leak?), if you're having issues with your contact list in any way causing android.process.acore to crash, it's likely Google+ causing it.

Ugh. Spent two days researching this specific crash, with most people's problem being sync settings or some sort of invalid data in their gmail contacts list (special characters, incomplete fields, etc.) If you're certain that your contacts list is proper yet still crashing when trying to sync, add/remove contacts, or view contacts, try uninstalling Google+ 2.0 and reverting back to the current Android Market version. Everything contacts-related works perfectly now.

Two days? You should have asked about it here. I researched it a few days ago and figured it out pretty quickly. I barely use G+ as it is so I had no problem with reverting.

Is there an app that will let me do this?

(I'm testing Qloud and Emit for streaming at home, but I'm going out of town this weekend, and I realized it would be useful to not have to plug my Xoom in anytime I wanted to copy a file over).

ES File Explorer will. Click menu - show tabs, click the LAN tab, click on your PC, find files, copy files, paste files onto your phone.

I don't really want my roommates mooching a bunch of stuff off my hard drives, so I don't share anything publicly on the network...

Despite the fact that I only have a small number of folders shared, ES can access every file on every drive of my PC. I don't know how it works, but I assume I put my username and password in there at some point, so you should be safe (unless they use your phone).

I remember reading somewhere there was a way to decopule an app from the market. I have a certain application I don't want updated (CM7 skin which I don't like the new versions). While it's around on my market apps list I can't use the update all feature which is annoying.

If you're rooted, long press the app in Titanium Backup and unlink it from the market.

Thanks! Looks like I needed the Pro version for the unlink feature, just bought it, and it seemed to work fine. Found the app in the list under the Backup/Restore section, long pressed it and chose "Deattach from Market" from the popup menu. I've been getting by with the free version of Titanium Backup for a while, it's a pretty powerful tool but the UI is horribly unintuitive.

The ability to reinstall all of your apps at once makes the pro version worth every penny.

Two things it can't do that I wish it could: 1. Modify permissions, 2. Create a Samba share

Permissions I seldom need but sometimes do and hate to have to use Terminal just for that, and being able to make a Samba share I've never needed until I found out Lion isn't so good at doing them.

But other that that, yeah, ES is something for which I would happily pay. It's doubly nice that the dev is responsive if not quick when it comes to addressing problems.

I'm curious why it can't do permissions. I think maybe I'll email the dev about that. In the meantime, Root Explorer can do permissions.
