[Mod] Lockscreen Music Controls

I love the new lockscreen music controls on cyanogen mod but how can we get them onto other roms??
We need this mod!!

Any screenshots of this?
Sent from my HTC Desire running LeeDrOiD 1.4a

lock here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1KkySFhzp4&feature=youtu.be&a)

is this the lock screen controls you want? (the one from the video)

There is an app that works with either stock music player of music mod by Eliot Stocker on the market. Haven't tested it, but I can imagine it'll be along the same lines

Re:
I'm running one of the latest cyanogen roms and yes the lockscreen controls are awesome. I really missed that part from sense. And I must disagree with dmpwd because I feel the controls are way better implemented on cyanogen.
1) You can choose if you want the controls always available or not (unlike sense which only shows it when music is playing
2) The sense version always slides back down after 1 or 2 seconds which is really really annoying. By the time I hear the next song and determine if I want to skip that one as well it has moved back down again *sigh*
And it's a lockscreen...why would I want to look at the album art when the screen turns back off anyway right after I move to another song? The only thing missing atm is the artist/songname but I wouldn't be surprised if they're working on that already.
Oh, and cyanogen has the longpress volume-up/down for switching songs as well (very handy in the car).
But to each his own . I'm loving the mods/tweaks of cyanogen.

didn't know about that way to switch songs. sounds really good.
btw, would you please confirm whether cyanogen's lockscreen is the one on the youtube video posted in this thread?
thanks!

Re:
If you pause the youtube video at the 15 sec mark, that's what the controls look like. So it's the white controls only without the square borders that are shown. If you pause the music then it only shows the play button. And there's no fast-forward or rewind on longpress of the buttons for instance. I'm using the cyanogen nightly (cm_bravo-07272010-154338) atm.
I just found out the lockscreen controls also work for the Pandora app . No idea if the sense one does that as well but it's handy. Mostly use the default music app myself.

the controls in cyanogenmod V6.0.0-RC1 look slightly different than the ones in the video, they are more basic and I definately prefer them.
Anyone help on how to do this??

Already tried it, would defiantely prefer the cyanogenmod way ;-)

Re:
darkenergy is right. Widget locker is great. You can use any (stock) widget on the lockscreen since it replaces it. I totally forgot about it since I use QuickDesk (which is awesome btw, double tapping the homekey brings up an extra screen which is basically a layer over any open application so you don't have to go back to a homescreen, I use it for all the toggles, a music and messaging widget). The previous versions of widget locker had some problems with QuickDesk and I don't want to be without that app.
The great thing is that now the developer updated widget locker you can also use the doubleclick on the homebutton on the lockscreen, which is really awesome. A single press doesn't do anything, stays on the lockscreen. Just make sure you use QuickDesk as default home, set Widget Locker as launcher in QuickDesk and your normal launcher in Widget Locker
I just updated widget locker to 1.2.2 and put the Pure Music widget on the lockscreen. This means you have the album art there as well if you want it. You can even use the 4x4 widget. Works great. Widget Locker is also very customizable. Hide notification bar, which keys unlock, different background and so on.

Why do you prefer the cyanogenmod way? It's great for sure, especially since you don't need another app but that's about the only benefit I see of the cyanogenmod way . Am all for it to see it as a default/option in other roms, just curious why you prefer it.

[Q] Lockscreen Music controls and Notification app shortcuts

Two questions that I have yet to find an answer to:
1) Has anyone tried or found a way to integrate a third-party media player (i.e. PowerAmp, Winamp, Music Mod, etc.) with the HTC Sense lockscreen controls?
2) Has anyone tried or found a way to put application shortcuts into the notification bar, similar to the Recent Apps function in some ROMs? To explain further, this would be custom app shortcuts, user-defined, in an interface like the shortcuts found in Skyraider 3.5.
Thanks for the help!

Bump on music controls
Sent from my infected incredible

I must say, I'm very surprised that no one has anything to say on these subjects...

I sure would like the leaked Honeycomb player with lock screen controls, OR even the Z player with lock screen controls would be great. I even downloaded the motorola (yeah I know sorry) music player and tried it but no lock screen controls. You'd figure with all the mods available some dev could do this, I WOULD PAY YOU FOR IT! Honeycomb with lock screen $____.__ you name the price.
As for the recent apps in notifi bar, I think, but not 100% sure, the Z roms have that.

Not looking for Recent apps, but user-defined apps.
For example, I find myself wanting to be able to access the following apps the quickest: Twidroyd, Google Reader, Miren Browser, and Google Voice. They may or may not be in my recent apps, but with a permanent shortcut in the notification bar I can access them from (almost) any screen. I've used Bar Control and Bartender Lite, and they get the job done for the most part. But they also take up quite a bit of room in the notification panel.
The way that Skyraider implements the recent apps into the header of the notification panel would be great for custom shortcuts, if only someone knows how to do it.

[Q] music player widget

I've been looking everywhere for a widget that can control the music like skip, Pause, play for the default player. I couldn't believe android lacks such a simple feature; when I had an iPod touch, whilst the screen was locked, double clicking the home screen would bring up the pause/play, skip buttons.
Whereas now when the screen is locked, I have to unlock the screen to get to the music player to be able to change the track etc.

MIUI Roms have this feature... And the PlayerPRO also has it. You have to turn on in program's Settings

Dont want to flash a new rom on it. Don't want to change the default player either, as I've tried others and are more ram hungry than the default player.

its depend on stock roms,you cant say all android roms has no feature like that,in android you can have everything that iphone has and not,just try search this forum..

Then, I think there's only one other option, get a LiveView (soon SmartWatch) or a wireless headset.

Dosent the Default Android in Arc S got a music Player Widget?!
It does!
And well, There are better alternatives out there!
Try PowerAMP or Winamp!

But the thing is with Winamp or Poweramp, they're more RAM hungry (i.e. they use up a lot more RAM) than the original Music Player.
The Default music player does have a widget, but it is permanently on screen and doesn't disappear when the music is turned off, as I would like to have one on my lockscreen and would like to control my music from there i.e. skip tracks etc rather than having to unlock then go to the widget.

With WidgetLocker Lockscreen you can put a music player widget on your lockscreen

Try this app and enable lockscreen controls from settings menu.
I know its not a stock replacement app but its worth a try..
btw,its free

remote
you can try "music remote" in market place
it adds on to your player and create a remote for your player .... you can even use your hand free to create a remote
good luck

[Q] Any way add full Pandora controls to a lockscreen widget?

I am currently using WidgetLocker in combination with Zooper Pro on my OnePlus One on Android 4.4 and I really want a more customized Pandora widget than the default one from Pandora. Has anyone developed a good way to do this? The most important things I want are the thumbs up/down buttons... It would also be awesome if it would autohide and not show anything if Pandora isn't playing. I really only run my music through Pandora so I'm not worried about any other kind of integration.
Thanks in advance!
