I come from sense (EVO 3D) and while stock android ICS is quick and beautiful its music widget is dull and basic..Im looking for something like the sense 4×4 music widget.. With added options to play previous track, shuffle and repeat right from the widget..that's compatible with google music (fan boy )..any suggestions

I don't think anything but stock supports Google Music yet. More options will/may be available if/when Google makes the Google Music APIs public.

MIUI Music Player works nicely, and has a widget - love the lyrics downloading on that.
Ended up using music mod from the market, modified stock player with widgets . Cheers for suggestions!

Thanks for the suggestion! juz found a themed one here at xda and its no doubt one of the best looking ones around.
Btw does anyone come across a decent 2x2 music widget apart from playerpro?
Give poweramp a shot, it has lot of widget options plus a lockscreen widget. The lockscreen widget basically used the player as your lock screen wallpaper letting you change songs without turning off the lockscreen.

Saw other people recommended that one as well. Will try out the free version thanks=)
There's also Music Timer, which gives you a widget which works with the stock app...
Since the Samsung music player can also read folders, it's real shame they didn't make a little widget to go with it..
*edit: for those interested, I just found you can create a basic widget for stock music player with widgetsoid..
what music widget are you guys using?
also, what is a widget that looks like the one in sense or closest to sense?
anybody? lol
I use google music beta even though there's alot of better options out there. I used google music beta because my evo 4g didn't have much space. I might just stop being lazy and store some music on my new phone and use a better music player. Doubletwist or maybe even PowerAmp anyone?

Can anyone recommend a music control widget, preferably with album art and large that works with the stock HTC music player? Using Nova launcher but can't seem to find any.

have you tried the full screen one that came with sense?
Erm, Sense widgets only work with Sense Launcher. I'm using Nova.

Try MIUI it has a great music control widget that works as well in the lockscreen.
Do you mean an MIUI ROM or music player?

I was forced to buy "Pure Music Widget" for that same sole purpose.
It functions as your (maybe)any stock music player to your launcher
The four lock-screen widgets are OK (the calendar is the most useful I feel), but I was surprised that there was only 4. Are there any others out there?

Mizuu has just updated to add some.
Personally, I've turned lockscreen widgets off for now.
Hopefully more apps get updated to support this feature as right now it's a bit useless

There are more in the play store, search "4.2 lock screen widgets"...its mostly clocks, but any thing new is a plus!
EDIT: There are double as many apps as when I checked yesterday, new widgets, a lot more. I can only assume this is a glimpse of what's to come.

Personally I'm happy with just the time and overview of my inbox. What else would you plan on using?
HD widgets is updated and has a nice 5 day weather outlook for the lock screen. Also too, they have their clocks for the lock screen too

Try the "Lockscreen Features Policy" app.

If you don't like the 4.2 lock screen clock there's the Nexus 4 clock that allows you to add the 4.2 Analogue clock to your lock screen. I've also added the IP Widget that allows you to add a Widget to your lock screen that provides network status.
In the UK there are only 3 Widgets clock, calendar & gmail by default for some reason, what's the 4th default Widget?

I believe it is Google Sound search/Ears. I don't have it either (Finland).
Yes it's Google Sound Search.
Power Amp's lockscreen widget will work when you're listening to music
Plume now has a lockscreen widget for 4.2

I wonder why Google didn't unfreeze Sound Search with the 4.1.2 updat where Google Music is available now.
In Italy it's missing too even though there is Google Music since mid-november
Is there a music widget or an option to control your music from the lockscreen? I can seem to find a way to do it with the stock music player.
Any advice?

I guess it can be Q/A, if a mod can move it there.
It is app/widget related.
A request if you will, for something to control the stock music app, if it exists.

Power amp is the best music player out here, worth every penny..full of features and full equaliser. Best sound..I have tried every other app you can think of
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
I also noticed that the stock music player doesn't have a lockscreen widget like in ICS. You can access the music player controls from the lockscreen by bringing down the notification pull down menu.
I also am a fan of power amp and is one of the few paid apps I have invested in. I use it on any non touchwiz based Rom. I do prefer the touchwiz music player because it displays the album track number in my Bluetooth car stereo though.
