couple questions

[mali328]

I have the Samsung Infuse. Is there any way or app that will make it so I can change the default screen for making a call? Right now whenever I push the phone button, it takes me right to the dial pad, I like calling from the call logs screen better, can I make that the default?

Second, are there any apps for just normal notification sounds? Not mp3 ringtones, not funny sound effects, just normal sounds for texts, emails, calendars, etc.

Third, what's the best music player? I have PowerAMP now, which isn't too bad, but I'd like one that's a little easier to control/access when I'm driving.

Last (sorry, more than a couple, let me know if I should make these all separate posts), what are all the safest places to download apps? All I use now is Market, but I want to see if some others have more options but I'm worried they aren't as safe as Market.

Thank you!

When I push the phone button (2.3.4) either the dial pad or the call log screen comes up, whichever I used last.

Blink.

You shouldn't even be considering accessing your music player when you're driving!
Try free AudioGalaxy to stream all your music, or playlist(s) of your choice, to your phone from your PC or Mac. Saves gigabytes of storage space on your SD card.

Google Market, AppBrain, and trusted developers.

Check out the Zedge app. They also have a website. They have some nice ringtones and wallpapers too.

For safe places to download apps, I think the market and Amazon are going to be your two best places. What other options are look looking for?

You could try Car tunes for a music player. It's in Beta right now.

I searched for Blink in the Android Market and nothing came up that has to do with sounds...is it in a different market?

Oops! My mistake. I thought I remembered that Blink doesn't only configure LED blinking but also the accompanying sounds. I was wrong.
