[At Your Own Risk] How to select your own apps in the "headset detected" notification for the Galaxy SIII

Oh yeah!

Very quick heads-up that one of my minor gripes from the SIII review has been fixed - the inability to configure which apps appear in the "headset detected" notification.

All you need is to be Rooted with BusyBox installed, and then install Headset Shortcuts for SGS3 v0.3 from developer rickythefox and you're good to go. Please note that the BusyBox installation that comes bundled with Titanium Backup is not sufficient, and the app will fail to detect Root privileges unless you have this one installed.

Enjoy, and please consider donating to the developers charity of choice, the WWF Tiger Conservation Project.

  1. Hi I just saw this and wanted to say that you can also just use an app called 'plug in launcher' from the market and then configure it to recognize what you want to pop up when you plug in the headset. The paid version lets you control the launched app for USB and power connections as well.
    and...... best thing.. you don't need root :)

    Just thought I might point that out as I only found it the other day.


    Cheers

    1. I'm aware of many ways to do this actually, it's just that I really like the way Samsung did it apart from the not being able to choose which apps populated the menu. Thanks for your info though, will definitely check that out too!
