Is there an app that will put music controls on the lockscreen all of the time?
- poweramp, winamp and maybe other music players do this, but I just want to use stock
- if I'm playing music, the stock player does this, but it doesn't add controls if the player is stopped or paused
- simply lockscreen claims to do this, but it doesn't work on my phone
- some custom roms do this, but I want to stick to stock for a while
- maybe it will be a feature of JB, we'll see in a few hours

The app have to incorporated the ICS way to do it, which I've found that many don't.
You could use Widgetsoid as a worlaround, it's possible to get media buttons on your notification bar with it(which can be pulled down on lock screen when slide to unlock is the active security).

I use widgetsoid and tried creating a widget with previous, play/pause, next. I clicked Notification in the widget configuration advanced settings (the settings for individual widgets), and various settings of Notification from the Welcome to Widgetsoid screen. This puts a notification bar on my home screen while music is playing, but does not put a notification bar on home screen or lock screen when music is not playing.
Is there another setting I need to activate the notification bar on the lock screen at all times?
Regular slide to unlock is my active security.

You can pull down the Notification bar when in the lockscreen, you don't have to unlock the lockscreen to access it.
My problem was that the notification bar on the lock screen was invisible, so I didn't realize it was there. If I swipe down on the blank space, the controls are there.
Now all is well

On LiquidSmooth ROM, you can have music controls on lockscreen.

I don't want my battery symbol to change or if it did it would have to only show the percentage of power on it. :s
all the mods I can find in that forum change the battery icon thing.
Download Widgetsoid from the market.
It has more options than you could probably dream of, and if you look carefully through the options when you create a new widget, you will see that you can choose to have the widget in the notification bar in addition of having it on your home, or to have the widget in the notification bar only
Looks cool. Wonder what the battery drain is like compared to the others.

I use Quick Settings from the market. It does everything I need and more. It stays in the notification bar, I click it, and get acess to all I need. I also use battery minder to show 1% step battery icon in the top bar. It shows up in the notification bar too.

I use only the switcher types, and I don't notice any battery drain
Indicator types (such as battery indicator) could expectedly drain some battery though, but I don't use them.

You can decide how many switches you want on each widget, and there are MANY more available
And for each widget, you can decide if you want it on your home, or in your notification bar, or both

You don't want lockscreen unread notifications? Jeez man! That's the only thing keeping me with stock lockscreen.
Anyway, you can't do anything I am afraid. Obviously you can change to third party apps like Widget Locker or other, but I won't recommend any!
It is basically a shortcut ..swiping on it will take you directly into messages or missed call history ...I agree..it is a bit large and ugly icon

in fact, I use to locks, this one and pattern, and I don't think it's a good idea to get directly to see your notification or access the camera or any app, it could be waste of private or jost lost your work or anything,
but like what i say, I use pattern lock, so what is the advantages of this while it's unusefull in that case ?
Thank u all for ur reply :good:
Rather than getting rid of it, how can I enable the same thing for the Gmail app when I have a new email?

to remove it, go to settings > lock screen > lock screen options > shortcuts...
if you disable shortcuts then it should remove that and all shortcuts on the lock screen...also you can opt to place other shortcuts there, as well

Is it possible for me to get Music Lockscreen Controls without having to flash a completely new ROM, cause I'm starting to get frustrated with having to put in my Passcode everytime I wanted to see what Song I'm playing or when I wanted to change track.
If its necessary, I'm running Xperia S UI for Xperia Play Extreme Final Edition.
No music controls on gingerbread thats for sure. Unless theres an app that is made for gingerbread to allow you to have lockscreen music controls.

Okay, thanks.
So I take it I need to switch ROMs, to one like DiXperia?
EDIT: Oh wait, should I flash this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860343
No. The app itself has add support the firmware your using. Going to dixperia wont change anything because its gingerbread. I know some music apps support lockscreen controls but you have to for instance ics.
Decided to take the 'leap' anyway, and now I'm suffering from Link2SD pushing all of my Apps to internal and the dreaded Low Internal Space (2.5GB of Applications).
Now I've found that I've lost around 50 Applications too.

Bit of a late post, but I'll post what worked for me since this thread was a top search result.
I was just looking for the same functionality; music controls on lock screen on gingerbread. I've used CM jellybean ROM on my GS2 for a number of weeks and while I noticed slightly better battery, I was underwhelmed by certain changes, hence my decision to go back to rooted stock ROM.
I installed a FREE lock screen app called MagicLocker Main. You can choose to download from hundreds of themes, but it comes preinstalled with 'Lost Robot Music'. When you first run the app you'll set it as default launcher, then you can customise the theme if you so desire.
Basically worked perfectly for me on my galaxy s2 gingerbread. Pressing power or home buttons turns on screen to custom lock screen with music controls. Dragging the large power icon down removes the screen showing me my pattern unlock screen.
The music controls worked with the built in 'Music' app. If it doesn't work for you might be worth trying some different music players.
Another popular lock screen app is called WidgetLocker, which is a paid app. It looks like you might be able to use this to add widgets to lock screen, so for example you could add Winamp (or other player) widget to lock screen.
chery2k, GB havent music controls? Really?
What about lockscreen in cm7(whitch is just AOSP lockscreen with customisable layouts) or lockscreen in NXT rom by krisdee?
You can control music through lockscreen in nxt 2 rom by krisdee..

Just download and install Musixmatch at Google Play if u wanna get music lockscreen~:laugh:
hey. i always needed an app or mod thats allow us change the track from volume change pop up. eg, when im playing game and wanted to change the current music track, i should go home or recent apps, change the track then go back to game.
so im asking is there any mod or app, that can let us to change the track through the volume change dialog without leaving the game. something like another row under the volume slider that has buttons next/pause/previous etc.
i know paranoidandroid does it with halo, im asking another solution.. thanks.
Some ROMs have the ability to do this, when you press the volume button the normal slider pops up for whatever is relevant (ringer, media, or alarm). But there is a settings button that expands it.

I am on stock rom, rooted.
Sometimes, AFTER unlocking screen the music (google music) will start playing, have no idea what triggers it. Initially I had music gestures (on lock screen) enabled but disabled it since. Still happens.
Any idea how to fix this? thanks

Hey Cartman,
You may have music playback configured on button presses like pressing power button twice, pressing volume button twice etc.. Can you check in the Customizations and Buttons menu in settings if you have any such gesture settings present?
I have enabled none but I too, sometimes see the music player in the status bar. Annoying.

Thanks for your answer Karachi,
The behavior of the capacitive buttons is unchanged, didn't assign any other functionalities in there. The only thing I changed is swap the buttons (back/recent apps), more a la samsung. I have lockscreen gestures but removed the music gesture. There is no music-related anything under Customizations > Status bar; nothing peculiar under Buttons either.
One other thing, when the music starts, the google music app starts by itself and also playback starts. The app will start in the foreground even. That's strange. If I were to press by mistake the google music icon (which by the way, I have removed from the Nova launcher desktop since), the music won't just start rightaway, I would also have to press the play button.
Some screenshots of the relevant configuration

Weird, really.
Are you using fingerprint to unlock? Swipe? Pattern? Have you tried changing that?..
I must warn you, if you are using fingerprint to unlock and you change the screen lock type, you will lose your fingerprint data. This is stupid!

Indeed, using the fingerprint only. I doubt it's the fp though, or I'd try something else instead first.
Thanks, I didn't know there was a 2 finger swipe to start music
I had the same issue but skipped that option
