I know one of the features for ICS was lock screen music controls similar to iOS. I use Play Music because I've been able to combine my wife and my own iTunes catalogs with Google music.
So is there a way to cause the lock screen controls to show for any music app? Or is this one of those painful things due to working off of leaked builds.
Thanks.

I think it just has to do with touch wiz on top of ics. Have you tried using the stock music app? I think that'll give you music controls in the lock screen
The stock music app isn't in the rom.

Stock music app doesn't connect to the cloud which sucks unfortunately. :/

I've been having some problems with third-party lock screens, for some reason they'll work for a while. But then randomly they will just not lock the screen. Also, no matter what I do the stock lock screen will not go away. I've tried Go Locker, wp7 locker, and magic locker, and none have worked for me.
Is there any solution for this? I like having custom lockers so this is extremely irritating.

I'm using Go Locker with a WP7 theme and it's working. You also have to use Go Launcher and in Settings>Security change Screen Lock to "None"

I tried this, and it works fine for awhile, but after an hour or two the locker wont even pop up, it'll just show the home screen or whatever app I was last in.
The only fix I found was to disable and re-enable it, and thats only temporary.

I have been using Widget Locker for months and it works great. I had to set the option to allow it to keep an icon in the status bar, but once that was done it has only failed to lock once or twice and I use my phone a lot.
Is there a way to trun it on? Can't seem to find it.
you can pull down the notification bar while still locked. that seems to be good enough for sammy

Volume Button Music Controls
im used to an HTC that allows you to progress thru your music tracks by holding down on the volume button. Is that feature somewhere in this phablet that i have now?

Id like to know this also. I had this on evo where I can skip songs using the volume buttons not having to take out the phone out of my pocket and get robbed on the train.

I miss this from CM10!
Until someone incorporates that feature into a custom ROM, you can try this:
"Tactile player"

I have used it in the past when desperate(when a new ROM did not have track skip volume rocker)
Probably will use it again if I get a Note II
Well I just found out if u use Google play the music player shows up in the lock screen but not with the stock music player tho.

Mine doesn't show controls on lock screen when using Google play music ? Can't find it in play settings either

Mine is also not showing the music controls on the lock screen. Tried the built in player and google play. Doesnt seem to be an option anywhere either. Can't wait for a good custom rom that adds this in like on the HTC EVO phones. I do miss that from my EVO Shift.

I'm pretty sure they were referring to the notification bar.

poweramp will you give you lockscreen controls, it is a pay for app, but is a solution
Winamp has a setting to show lockscreen controls. It is a full screen display with album art, prev track, play/pause, next track, and an unlock button on screen. The volume buttons still control volume, not tracks, though.
This is what I did. Just got widget locker now I got my music and weather widget in love.
This is ridiculous, I'm trying to get music controls on the lockscreen also. I'm used to AOSP lockscreen that will put the controls at the top when music is playing. I use this with Spotify and Doggcatcher.
I've found that the music controls don't show up on the lockscreen if you're using "Swipe" or "tilt" unlock methods, but they show up with other security levels.
I would love it if there was some way to get the music controls on the top for the Swipe unlock method.
I am looking for a way to control my music on the lockscreen. I ran CM10 on my GS3 and could control music. I am currently running Jedi Master 5. But is there an app or a download I can do that will make this happen. I am talking about something that will allow me to control spotify and google play. Just looking for FF, PLAY, RW.

Nope.
SauROM allows for screen-off volume up+down long press music change. But until AOSP rolls out, there will be none of that.
Download double twist from the play store. It has an awesome lock screen music control.

I just bought PowerAmp. It's a great music player and is on sale in the market right now. It includes a lock screen widget.

You have to get the AOSP lockscreen mod for it to work.
