Nope. Not without actually writing one apparently. Shame really, as I love it too, but swithed away because there is no widget.

It integrates perfectly into the notification tray, so just pull down to access the controls. I like how you can even control from the lockscreen without having to unlock.

Guys use, Cubed!!

yes true, but i would love to have it fill a section of my homescreen so i can look at the album art

sounds good. too bad samsung did't go all the way with the intergration by creating a widget for it. but the fact that you can access the music controls while the phone screen is locked is very good. i like how they implemented it.

Alright guys, I don't care that there is no widget for the player, but I DO care that I can't change the songs with the volume buttons, which is REALLY annoying

As their name says, volume buttons are to control the sound volume, so what do you expect...

Mixzing is a rather good music player I found. Sorry I'm aware it means you wont be using the default Samsung one, but this one is loaded with features, has a custom EQ, 3 widgets and you can control it from the lock screen. I paid for the nicer version of it as it's something I now use everyday.

I'd really like something like this. Like on the iPhone headphones when you double click the button on the headphones it changes song, saves you from having to go into your pocket all the time.

I expect when my screen is Off, holding VolUp or VolDown to change the songs.
This is a natural way to do it.

And if I want to change the volume, what should I do? Unlock the device first ?
Shaking the device to go to the next song is much better I think.

Yeah... especially great for runners.. changing the song every 5 sec when you run fast! great idea!

Do you change the volume every 5 sec when you run?

In jpk, volume works with screen locked.

Guys, stop pulling legs.
My 5 year old WM2003SE phone has all the customizable buttons for everything. Hold the camera button and I program it to start the music player. Several other customizations.
I still can't believe on this "advanced", so called "flexible" phone, I don't have the option of customizing buttons (other than power button to end the call).
Worse, the music player plays every junk after it has to scan for music and video each time we restart the phone or unmount and mount the memory cards.
I would like to see a way to tell the phone to scan only particular folders and best it should SAVE the scanned items rather than being ABSOLUTE DUMB to scan each time it restarts the phone or mount a card. WHY SHOULD IT SCAN in the first place? We could just tell it like every other phone or music player app to "Search a folder" when needed!
I would appreciate some discussion on this. Sorry for diverting from this thread. I could start a new one to discuss, if needed.

There is a way to change the songs with HOLDING (not just pressing) the VolUp button, but nobody wants to give me a hand. I need some developers help.
I don't know how to decompile apk files or something like that.

I understand you, its like on every Sony Ericsson's phone.
Holding "-" - change song to next
Holding "+" - change song to previous
Pressing "-" - reducing volume
Pressing "+" - increasing volume
I want it more than android 2.2

Cool, I'd too like to see this implemented! Also, double-tap on the headset's button to change the track would be nice.

Motorola's S9 have control button on the earphone, you can change songs with them whenever you want (wasn't working with Android on vogue)
you might want to check them out!

[Q] Is there an e-reader with shoulder button support?

Yes, i know thats not what the play is for, but sometimes i want to use it for e-books.
Is there an app that allows me to turn pages with my shoulder buttons?

PLAY around with the button changer apps
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?

Played around with them but could not get ihem to work. I use CM7.
Do they even allow remapping to the volume keys?

Well there was an app, but doesn't support new FW.
no point in making now since ICE CREAM SAMMICH is coming next month. Give time till NOVEMBER and in sure there will be an app for it.
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?

And how would waiting for till November solve anything?
Back to my question, is there an e reader out there that allows you to chose wat buttons turn the page? Seems to me like that would be a basic feature, but the ones i tried didn't have it.

Keep in mind that unlike volume buttons, shoulder buttons are by no mean a standard feature of Android phones. It's not a "basic feature" at all.
The user hatcyl is working on an app to give extra functions to the buttons. That would be your best bet

I am not saying shoulder buttons are a basic feature, but i am saying that choosing what button goes to the next page is a basic feature.
There are tons of different phones out there with facebook button and multimedia buttons. Not to mention camera buttons. Or even the dpads.
Is there no ebook reader app that lets me pick what keys turn the page?

I've tried Cool Reader, FBReader and Aldiko to no avail . The only common feature for Android smartphones are the volume buttons. There are more readers though, like Moon+, Laputa and Mantano.

This has been my solution.
I used it to set both shoulder buttons to volume down.
Hope it helps everyone else.

Do you need to reboot every time you change the mapping or does it work without reboot please. Also if I map sholder buttons to dpUp and dpDown for example and then start a game which has it's own function attached to shoulder buttons, what will be prevailing: my own mapping or the in-game mapping? Thank you in advance.

You have to do a "Hot reboot" to change the buttons. This takes about a minute.
I haven't tried gaming with this settings. I always change the buttons back when i'm done.

[Q] New Phone Queries

I got the M8 yesterday, but I have a few queries.
Where is the gallery / photo album widget? I had one on the HOX.
When I plug in a set of headphones that have a single button on the mic, what are the button combos?
I was hoping to press once to hang up calls, and use it to control the music player (one click to pause/play, two to skip tracks)
Can you change what button controls are?

Change the default ordering on the App Drawer to Alphabetical and look for Gallery. If It's a WWE you'll find it. If it's carrier branded I've no idea whether it's installed or not .. sorry
Headphones ?? ... I don't want to sound corny, but did you know that there's a downloadable full user guide on the HTC support site to supplement the Quick Start guide you got in the box. It says so on the front page of the Quick Start guide ...
Here's the link to it ... http://dl4.htc.com/web_materials/Manual/HTC_One_M8/HTC_One_M8_User_Guide.pdf ... dunno if it has anything about the ear buds but I hope it does
<later edit>Nope ... 200 pages and nothing about earphone control!! but trying it out ...
In all cases
Single click to kill phone call if in progress otherwise ..
Single click to pause/play current track
Double click in music - select next track
Double click outside of music - Last number recall
At the lock screen
long hold brings up voice dialer
Not at the Lock Screen
Long hold Google Voice Control
Hope that helped .. I ran out of ideas after trying all those

Its not the gallery app I'm after, its the widget so I can have a picture on one of my tabs that I can scroll through when I want.
Also, Single click didn't end current call.
In Music, single click seemed to go back a track, double click skipped a track.
I may end up getting the Headset Button Controller app again

Music control first

Is it possible to put the music control on the first page, so i don't have to go through sub menus every time?

You don't need to navigate submenus to reach music control: it can be accessed also with a single left or right swipe from the clock face.

You realize if you swipe right or left on the watchface this will bring up the music controls?
Global version both ways, I think with the Chinese version swiping one way brings up Alipay the other music control but can't tell you which way. ?

Dasaita PX6 Touch Buttons

Hi,
I just installed a Dasaita PX6 Max 10 in my nissan. It has touch buttons down the left hand side of the unit to select the menu, navigation, music, volume down and volume up.
I can go into the touch key study and remap the buttons without issue, choose a different program for the navigation button to load etc but I can't choose the buttons to load custom applications. There is no option to change the default music player so I am hoping there is a work around. I have tried a couple of button mappers from the play store with no success.
Does anyone know how to change the buttons?
Thanks.

Nothing. I have looked and followed posts to bind the buttons, albeit this only allows me to choose from a predefined list. It doesn't allow me to choose a specific application as far as I can see.
I haven't read posts where someone says this can't be done, nor have I read a post with instructions. Therefore I am wondering if I am missing something obvious and hence why no one else has this issue?
My software appears to be the latest available according to another forum post.

I'm not sure if that's a glitch. There could be a reason they don't want you assigning apps to the touch buttons... I don't know, but you can always customize your launcher or even install your own with customisable app buttons.

Thanks for your reply. For the time being I have downloaded Agama launcher which appears to integrate well, and I have disabled the music button.
From other research it appears that if the device was rooted then I could possibly use mtce tools or services to re assign the buttons so I'm currently looking for instructions for doing that, as the other articles appear to refer to px5 devices.

did you have any further success? I'm very much interested in that, too.

Unfortunately not. I didn't want to try and root it incase I messed up zlink and my vehicle specific parameters.
I just disabled the music button for now and use agama to launch everything.

Hi,
Yes I found that a different version of mcd tools which I downloaded from here:
Post in thread '[Release][PX3|PX5] MtcdTools-Control music players, customize buttons, voice control' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-buttons-voice-control.3436789/post-83416527
Allowed me to custom bind the music buttons to dab+.
I just had to change the factory setting for the music button first. I set it up to launch the radio on long press only. That way when I bound a short press using mcdtools it didn't open the default radio app in the background.

Yeah! Found that too and wanted to post it here, but haven’t had time to further play around with it. Works on my Dasaita Max10. Good tip the factory setting thing!
by the way: rooting worked flawlessly with this instruction (also based on posts in this forum):

It's all working great now. I have set the touch buttons up to open the media player on a single click and disabled that application In settings. This has allowed me to set it to open dab z on short press and Spotify on long without it opening the media player at all.
Previously I used it to open the default radio app and that caused issues with it going back to Spotify or dab z.

would you mind describing a bit more detailed, what exacly you did (which exact settings). Would apreciate that very much!

I'll post proper instructions tomorrow, but I went into factory settings and set the music button to open the media player on a short press. Then in Android applications I disabled the media player applocation so it didn't launch anything when pressed.
I then used mtcdtools to create actions for dab z and Spotify.
Then I bound the action to the key for the music button. Choosing dab z for the short press and Spotify for the long press.

thats proper enough for me, Thanks!

I downloaded poweramp from play store and it integrates with no hacking or rooting. I set it as my touch key default music player. Very much recommend it.
