I played around with the latest OMFGB nightly (8/25) and saw that they added notification bar music controls similar to what is on touchwiz. Anyone know of any way to make this work for a Sense based ROM? I just think it'd be an awesome thing to add to the Sense notification bar since you can control music easily while you're in the middle of an application. It'd fit well in the space that the recent apps would usually take up and autohides when no music is playing.
That said, the things I like about touchwiz style controls allow you to control any music application that is currently running (Spotify, Google Music Beta, etc, at least in the case of AOSP ROMs), and, as mentioned, hides whenever there is no music playing. Only thing I don't like is that they only pull album art and track information from the stock music application, where others will display no information and a gigantic ~unknown-unknown~~ in the status bar. Given that any running application is already in the notification bar with track information directly below that, I think that just having music toggles with no info would be better (plus could have bigger buttons)
Lot of rambling. Guess the thing I wanted to know was if the sense framework allowed this as AOSP does, and would any dev/themer think it's worth tackling?

does anyone know how to get the htc music 2x3 widget? I thought thats what the .com.htc.musicwidget.apk was, but strangely enough that is the standard android 1x3 music widget.... I was hoping to get the htc one because its twice the size and i can control the song without going into the app, plus when the screen is locked it has controls on top of the lock bar. Thanks!! Oh, im running koni's elite series 3, so it doesnt just have it built in
Does anyone know of a 4.1.2 MC6 Rom with the option to change the music track from the lockscreen like in CM10.1?
I would like to go back to touchwiz for a while and see if battery life gets any better, and also for the stability since CM10.1 has been pretty bad lately.
Any suggestions?
Touchwiz lock screen doesn't incorporate widgets like aosp does. But some music apps will create their own lock screen with music control.
You can however pull down your notification and skip songs without unlocking the phone.

you have to flash ICS or use 2 music players that both have a fake-lockscreen.
in ics every media app can be controlled in lockscreen it it's configured to do so (most are)

what you meant by fake-lockscreen? i'm using an ics rom and the rom's music player sucked and i wanted to change it
if you cannot switch it off inside your music player preferences i can't help you. many players integrate well with the ics lockscreen. i'm using tune in radio, jetaudio, google music and apollo - everyone controlable from the stock lockscreen.
with fakelockscreen i wanted to say that the lockscreens that come with an audio player aren't really lockscreens. they bypass and disable the real lockscreen and just open an app that's used as a lockscreen. i have bad results with this. for example the display stays on much, much longer, display goes on when changing volume - this behavior drains the battery really fast.
Someone with this case, how does the music work through the circle? Is it only the stock music app? I use player pro, and was wondering if it will work through circle
I use poweramp and I do not get music controls through the circle
Install the Quick Circle Apps app from the play store, that allows you to use different music programs, plus various other items...great app
Would like to know if there is an Car focused ROM like AutoDroid based on Android 6.0 marshmallow?
Thanks
No ROMS but there are several good CarMode type apps that you can use. My favorites are CarWidget and Automate. CarWidget is just a resizable widget you can use to fill your entire homescreen with big shiny shortcuts. Automate is an AndroidAuto clone which keeps a nav bar present on the screen for quickly switching between music/nav/phone.
