Shuffle Ultimate Released
Shake Your Music With Python!

Lifenexus’s accelerometer powered controller gets the major update and the Ultimate suffix. Ultimate version of the Shuffle application brings support for more applications and now it is possible to take control over Video Centre, TTPod and Music player as well.

Shuffle is motion powered application that takes the control over the default music player and allows you to change tracks with a flick of the wrist. Application is developed in Python and provides the very basic functionality but at least it is very simply to use and it works like it's supposed to!

Shake control works by holding down the multimedia key which is used as the shake trigger and then by shaking the phone, you can shuffle forwards and backwards through your music.

The program by default is in Automatic mode. Any where in the menu, system or standby screen, the program is in music player mode. If you press and hold the gallery key and shake the phone to the right, it will go to the next track in your DEFAULT MUSIC PLAYER. If you press and hold the gallery key and shake the phone to the left, it will go to the previous track in your DEFAULT MUSIC PLAYER. If you press and hold the gallery key and shake the phone downwards, it will pause/play the track in your DEFAULT MUSIC PLAYER.

If you goto Video Centre and play a video in LANDSCAPE MODE(Phone in horizontal position or video watching position), You can press and HOLD the gallery key and tilt the phone to the right and the video will fast forward. You can press and HOLD the gallery key and tilt the phone to the left and the video will rewind forward.

If you goto TTPod music player and press and hold the gallery key and shake the phone to the right, it will go to the next track in TTPod. Default Keys(play-5, previous- 4 next -6. You can define your own keys from the settings). If you goto TTPod music player and press and hold the gallery key and shake the phone to the Left, it will go to the previous track in TTPod. Said Lifenexus

Unfortunately application is not compatible with the phones powered by the new S60 sensor framework (Nokia N96, Nokia N85, Nokia N79, 6210 Navigator, as well as Nokia E66) and is only compatible with an older phones based on the unofficial accelerometer plug in like Nokia N95 or N82.

• Vibration: From the menu>settings>vibration u can toggle vibration when the track shifts.
• Shake left for prev track and right for next track by pressing the gallery key
• Push phone down to Play/Pause
• The shake works anywhere and in any app as it simulates the forward, play/pause and rewind key keys from the music dedicated key set.
