Hi all... I am seeking for a good Media Music Player (i got Pocket Player, which is very nice), but i am looking for something..
I don't like to get out my phone in metro, bus, and so... I would like to be able to program touch like vol up (long) to put the next song), vol down (long) previous, and an intelligent way to do play/pause... does anyone have a good idea how do this?
Also, sonyercisson did something very nice... By shaking in different ways the mobile, it change the volume, the song, play and stop it... Mobile costs about 150 € and it's very useful and this wonderfull fonction.. If a programmer would like to work on it, many donations would probably follow...
Thx answering me, and sorry for my bad english...
do i smell ?

You don't want to have to take your device out while on the bus, but want to be able to shake the device to control volume / change songs? You will still need to take the device out of your pocket to shake it.
Just get bluetooth Headphones that support A2DP and control your music on your device right from your bluetooth headphones. Many of the music player software support A2DP. Just make sure the bluetooth headphones you buy have the controls and are A2DP capable. You will not have to take the deivce out of your pocket or it's case at all to control the music - Change songs, volume right from bluetooth headphones.
I don't want to buy a bluetooth headphone...
I meant when i said, i can't get it out, it's that i don't want to get it out, put it on, unlock it, make next song...
I would like a intelligent way to change song easily, like using sound volume or shaking it...
Someone got an idea?
Use S2U2, every option can be the default, but you must change the volume button from off to on.
You can change radio station as well as skip/repeat songs in TF3D, provided the respective program is the foreground program.
To work, you must have S2L2 running but not locked AND you must have the unit in blanked screen (by switching off the power button).
Once the unit is locked (which unfortunately will happen if the device is idle for too long), then the volume rocker will no longer be able to change station or repeat/skip songs.
Hope this helps
ty for the answer !!
See you !

In some cities you could get arrested for NOT taking it out when you shake it.
lol !!!!!!!!!
Just like that
i also brought this idea up in another thread.
i used a sony ericsson w850i walkman phone and used it to listen to music all day long and it was great. i dont use my ipod coz i simply dont like it, so the music player in my phone is also really important to me coz i want my phone to be all-in-1.
anyways.. the w850i hat this smart control on the volume buttons
short up: volume up
short down: volume down
long up: previous track
long down: next track
and trust me - once u have this u never wanna miss it
phone in the pocket is just way more convenient.. i often ride my bike and theres no damn time to take the phone out and change the song ^^
i also highly prefer the built-in players due to many reasons

Try TCPMP. I know that you can map any buttons to any comand - See if you can do what you want with this. TCPMP is also free
doesnt work on my phone for any reason...
The included windows media player can acutally do this, I've mapped vol up down single press to volume, and holding will change track prev or next. BUT.... this only works if you somehow get the normal volume application unmapped, else when pressing the volume, the volume application will grab the volume push before windows media player receives it..
When I in TCMP mapped volume buttons they "unhooked" from the volume application then afterwards I could use buttons in windows media player. I couldn't get TCMP to support "hold" key else I could just use that.. Now I only use TCMP to ruin the volume application stealing volume key.. Also this means that you can't really use volume application afterwards so not a very good solution but it works for now.
I'd mostly like a program that can just unhook/rehook volume buttons from/to volume application so I can use these for single press/hold for windows media player.
Tried AEBPlus button but couldn't get the wanted result.
Finally, i found what i wanted...
S2P is perfect for it... There is the shake option... and combined with S2U you can easily change music..
I recommand it to everyone !!
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=237507 (unmap_volume.zip) will release the volume buttons on Touch HD (and others), so it for example can be mapped in windows media player to single press adjust volume and hold will change track. Just like on my old Sony Ericsson phone it's convinient to be able to both change track and adjust volume without looking/turning on the screen (just remember to map the buttons also in WMP10 settings).
Anybody know if Coreplayer supports hotkeys by "holding a key" (don't want to buy to find out). Only player I actually seen this in is WMP10 and I tried alot of others (mort, tcmp, pocketmusic5, pocketplayer, gsplayer).
Try AEB Plus:
http://ae.inc.ru - the shareware version has virtually all the functions of the registered version.
It does not do the shake but multiple presses on the volume and long presses.
I think Mobile Magic (on this forum) does find some types of shake but I have not tried it.

Yes I toyed around with AEB Plus, just seems to overkill, having a big footprint with a lot of features I have other programs for. Some programs should stick to the main focus (mapping stuff) and not try to evolve into an all purpose swiss army knife (taskmanager, memory/battery monitor etc).
this is what I use with my wired earphone
1. using AEB Plus, map the side volume up key as "Press Up Arrow key" , map the side volume down key as "Press Down Arrow key"
2. go to the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd , set defaultkeylock from 1 to 0 . This will enable the volume button when your touch hd went to stand by mode
Using the TouchFLO music player, I can now press the side button Up (previous track) and Down (next track). Best thing is the touch hd's screen remain off ..
Note that I have done tons of other modification so I am not sure if the 1, 2 enough to achieve this. good luck
How on Earth did you get the music to keep playing with the screen turned off? With the screen off are all the other buttons locked too? So that the things don't get pressed when it gets back into your pocket?
Does anyone know how to change a song without turning on the device?
I'm using the stock earphones they gave me.
There's a free music player called "Nitrogen" that lets you skip the current song by shaking the device! It also has keyboard shortcuts so you can assign some function to your keyboard keys.
You can download it here: http://nitrogen.wmskins.com/
There's a cab floating around that lets you use the "talk" button on a headset with mic to skip forward a song, I think two presses either goes back or does something else.
Not sure what it's called, will let you know if I find it.
I have been looking for several weeks for a way to pull this off now, to no avail. What I am looking for it a way to make the Epic's camera button be a play-pause toggle while the screen is off.
I have tried every app I have come across including Music Button and Music Control (neither will run on Bonsai 4.1.3).
I finally caved and bought Tasker and can not get it to work either. I set it up as:
Hardware Event: Camera Button -> Media Control PlayToggle
...but it will not work with the screen on or off. It's tests OK but the profile will not load for some reason.
Anyone have any ideas? I listen to audio books without headphones using the Ambling Player and unlocking my phone to start and stop them is quite a pain.
For anyone that wants to do this manually, see this thread.
I would still love to find a way to do it with Tasker or an app so that I can show less-technical friends how to do it.
Dont know if the title makes sense!
Trying to set this up for everyday use now, using Malaysk rom.
Installed poweramp, but noticed that if i am playing the radio, then open poweramp & play something, the radio does not stop.
I have to go back to radio app, then press back button.
Is that normal/correct or is there a way to configure this sort of thing.
Also, when pressing mode button (as configured on SWC), can you choose which apps are cycled through?
It currently goes through things like AVIN, and Video which i do not use.
Another thing (!), i've hads a couple of times when its gone to black screen and i cannot do anything about it, pressing power button just beeps, there is still power as there is illuminated buttons, but just a black screen and only a complete power down using ignition reboots and restores screen.
Think its like when the power button in the top right status bar is pressed (which i also need to disable!)
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions, keen to get this set up nicely now
Took me a bit to find this. You have to use the My Music shortcut not the power amp shortcut. Then setup PowerAmp as your default music player.

Thanks for that
Where do you set the defaults?
Could just find it in MTCmusic I think it was. Playing around with that at the moment, still not quite got things how I want then though, taking me ages this is!
Been playing around with the settings.
Come across another problem
When using Nokia here maps, I can use SWC to skip tracks playing in Poweramp, but when I skip, the Poweramp audio doesn't return until I press a volume up or down button.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
actually, its not related to navigation
Noticed it does the same even when in Poweramp app
Skipped forward a track using SWC, then no audio until volume pressed...
anyone?
Hi,
does anybody know a key mapper which is capable of skipping music tracks via the volume keys on the lockscreen? I tried @flar2 Button Mapper but it doesn't seem to work for now (my P6P is rooted). Don't know if I could live without it
Thanks
Some of the music apps I use have that built-in capability for volume keys to skip tracks on the lock screen, but I don't stream music, I keep it all in local FLAC format. I use GoneMad, PowerAMP, and Rocket Player. I know I've seen the option in at least one or two if not all three of those.
I know that's not what you asked, but I just wanted to share that in case it helped. I'm sure there will be a solution eventually (stock-based ROM, etc).

What????? button mapper working for me but you have to enable aod, I use it when screen off only
You can also do this with Tasker if you've purchased that in the past.
There is also Next Track
