Is it possible to install any app and then to change song by shaking the phone ? I think it would be possible..but how?

it's in testing too:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/shake2control/
add testing repository and install it via appmanager.
(but testing-apps are maybe not so stable and might cause problems on your device)

I think the shake2control app in extras-devel does that (unsure though). I think it might be play/pause right now though it shouldn't be to hard for the developer to change it to change song or whatever.
But standard warning about installing extras-devel software (could potentially cause problems) is advised.

It does let you stop/ start and change track by shaking.. I've had it installed for a week or so now and no probs... but like all of the accelerometer based apps I've seen it's not always very reactive....

Its a very buggy application currently.
Shake Left/Right and it'll change the track (Next track)
Shake Up/Down and It'll Pause/Play
The problem is quite often it won't work for 5-10 minutes then suddenly start......On top of that occasionally it just WON'T work unless I do a phone reset. And yes, It does have a problem with sensitivity at times too, Sometimes I just have to touch it and it'll change, other times I have to jerk it hard to get any response.

look at the source-code:
i think 1700 = 1,7G.
so to get an impression on how fast you have to move the phone from one point to another:
take a ball (or any other thing) and let it fall. that's 1G. make this movement 1,7 times faster and you have the edge when the song is skipped/paused. ^^
and you can see that it won't work when the proximity sensor is covered (when the phone is in a phonebag or in your pocket etc).
but you're right. i sometimes have to restart the app a few times to make it work. o.O
Code:
// Check if device is in the cover eg. in the pocket etc.
// If not, then read accelerometer
FILE *fid = fopen("/sys/bus/platform/devices/proximity/state","r");
if(fid!=NULL){
rs=fscanf((FILE*) fid,"%s",&str);
fclose(fid);
if(str[0] != 'c'){
FILE *fd = fopen("/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-001d/coord","r");
if(fd!=NULL){
rs=fscanf((FILE*) fd,"%i %i %i",&x,&y,&z);
fclose(fd);
if( y<-1700 || y>1700){
g_print("\nNext track");
mafw_renderer_next(MAFW_RENDERER(self->renderer), error_cb, NULL);
}
if(z<-1700){
mafw_renderer_get_status(MAFW_RENDERER(self->renderer),play_status,self);
}

I hope all tech problems will be solved, coz I like it.

It's not working with MediaBox, however - too bad, it's the player of choice right now for many.
