Physical buttons to control music? - Desire General

Long story short i'd broken my headphones that came with the desire yesterday and i hate having to get the phone out of my pocket to change the song, is there a hack to control it from the physical buttons? It's really getting on my nerves and i think i remember seeing something on it a while ago

Music Mod by Eliot Stocker. Uses volume buttons to skip track Don't think there's a hack to use other buttons for pause though.

Thanks, all I really wanted to do was change the Wong so it will do fine

Music mod looks good, will have to try that. I use iPhone headphones to pause and play the music plus it works well for calls and its a comfy fit.

[Q] Music Player with hardware controls

I want to use my in-ear sony earphones with my Desire for running. Now they don't have a mic or remote built into them, so I need a music player app that supports hardware controls for Next song, Play/Pause etc.
Could anyone suggest any good one?
Thanks guys!
Music mod has long press vol buttons as last/next song skip.

That's helpful, thanks!
Would some app allow the usage of the front buttons too?

Is there also a link for this?
It's the "feature" I really miss. It's veeeery annoying to wake and skip song.
Its on the market Im sure one will eventually, but if youre on vanilla roms, I think you can play/pause witg the trackpad? Not sure about that though.

Doesn't work for me. There is only "Skip with trackball" but this doesn't work. Maybe because I also wake my phone with the trackball. I need the controls with volumebuttons :S
You mean this one, right?

I'm curious to know if this worked. I don't think it's that simple, I believe you actually need the framework

Has anyone tried using the apple or "made for iPhone" headphones with inline controls on the evo? Do the controls work?

As far as i know, a couple music players work with them but not too well. the stock Evo music player had play/pause functionality, but after I tried installing other music players, cubed for example, I lost the functionality in the stock music player. I'm not sure about this music player, because im letting my brother borrow my headphones, but i will definitely try them when i get a chance.
Also, does anybody know if their is a music player that will give the song changing controls in the notification bar? same concept as when in a call and the notification bar is pulled down, the "end call" button is right there. I see it as being a simple concept but im not a developer so no disrespect to any of the awesome devs out in the world. still waiting for full Desire HD rom
Yes, i guess i did forget to mention this isn't from cyanogen, but it was from an aosp "like" rom that had the g2 launcher on it. I pulled it form that, but since it looked like the cyanogenmod one, i just uploaded it

[Q] Mapping volume buttons to function as music control instead of volume?

I come from the LG Optimus V, which worked beautifully with Button Remapper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
Is anyone aware of a way to re-map the volume buttons for music control? I frequently have the phone in my pocket while taking the bus, so would like to advance tracks tactilely
From what I know, it's only available on 2.3.5... It's definitely not on .6. And I believe it's all down to the Dev to do that

Just tried Poweramp and Playerpro, neither worked for me. I didn't see any options for enabling this either.
I see from this post that the volume buttons may work with the screen already on, but I'm looking to use the buttons to advance tracks even while the screen is asleep:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339337
I'm going to look into BeastMod to see if this feature is enabled
Just discovered this new Tactile Player Pro app:

Works beautifully, requires two presses, but I retain the volume functions

Best from for listening to music??

Any if them. Power amp is a great app for music, I like it a lot.

It's not the rom that made sound quality, but the phone and the headset. What do you use as earphone ?
Get any sense 3.5 rom, make sure it has beats plugin in the stock music player. Choose srs enhancement and play the song...nothing can beat that quality.

So true. Rom or music player won't do anything much, except for some which have dspmod in it. The point is a good headset is the key for a good music. Plus an amp if you could afford one. :hehe:
if you have a long journey than sure you need better battery life install cm7 and with power amo or player pro or winamp or even the stock one with dsp manager should work fine
Thanks for all the posts guys! Know beats aren't loved here but I've got a pair of studios (I got them cheap off a friend not stupid enough to pay more than they are worth). I went with a sense 3.5 rom in the end with power amp and it was great! The only thing is...on quite a few roms, I experience this annoying thing!! Sometimes while listening to music...I'll unlock the screen and this weird noise interrupts the song...sometimes it happens when I lock the phone aswell. Its not the headphones coz it happens with all my headphones :/ I thought it may be rom related but its not

dig into the advance audio engine settings of poweramp. increase the buffer size to 750ms. should make that go away.

Trying that now...will report back although I've switched to primo s sense 4.0 Rom and the problem seems to be gone :/

Try different Sense 3.5 Rom if you are enabling beats audio. I've noticed that each some Roms don't give the fill Beats experience. It also could just be me. Also flash the xperia xLoud engine found on the Rom that combines rc mix and virtuous. I can't post links cause I'm considered a new member. I find that funny since I have been using this site for 1.5 years yet never signed up till now.
I'm on a sense 4.0 Rom and the problem seems to be gone been on this Rom for 2 days now and haven't experienced the problem! I know what Rom ur talking about....from xxxpachaxxx. That's the Rom I just switched from because of the problem

Finally on the 3.5 Rom you were talking about I didn't have any fuzziness but I did experience increased battery drainage while listening to music compared to other Roms.

power amp
i have tested a lot of music apps on a few phones and need to say that first of all the phone is responsible for the sound quality. Off course the headset is important parallelly ( i use denons plugs which i think are good enough). There is no doubt though that players quality differs. In my opinion power amp is the best ever app to play music on the android phone. You can adjust the sound as much as possible. PLayer pro seems to be good too but there is a kind of whisle noise in the background playing continously and it's disqualifying the app completelly. Other apps are not worth even trying
Amazon MP3?
I know some groan at the thought, but Amazon MP3 is also pretty decent. It's got a built-in EQ with some preset settings, and if you buy music from them at all, it's nice because it will interface directly with your Cloud account. You could d/l a bunch of stuff from your Cloud to your phone (if you have the room) before you go on your journey.
It's not the only music app I use, but it's not bad.

[Q] Any way to get headphones meant for iPhone to work?

I want to get these Bose headphones but the volume and skip-track buttons only work on the iPhone. Any way to get it to work with Android?

Because it's a hardware problem you can only get the skip/repeat/stop track rockers, volume won't work. I use poweramp and it works like a charm.
Are you saying Poweramp is an app that allows you to use the iPhone controls with android? Thanks.
