[Q] [REQ] App or setting to skip songs with volume keys

Guys i've been looking and researching on how to make this possible i know it can be done because i had it in a past ROM but i forgot which one it was, can anyone guide me on how i can accomplish this?

I know in CM6's stock music player, you just hold down one of the volume keys while the screen's off and it'll go back/forward with tracks.

oh now i remember that was the ROM i used to use but i want to have this feature on a sense ROM any ideas on how this is done?

I'm looking to get this feature in another rom as well. I tried to push the apk and that worked fine.
But, the Volume Rocker to skip songs feature does not work.

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!

control the music, when screen is off (Buttons)

Hey guys,
i am searching for a mod for the custom roms (i have leedroid now), where it's possible to change the music track if the screen is off.
for example by pressing the "search" button for the next and the "back" button for the previous song.
I saw that it's possible in OpenDesire and Cyanogenmod to change the track by holding the volume buttons and another mod calling "search2play".
But is it possible to do this with the other hard-buttons by giving them a special action, when you are pressing them.
Thanks

I have been looking for this function too, I was searching media player that can do that and only one I found was astro nova... but you have to press unlock to switch to lock screen and here it is possible to switch songs by long pressing up and down volume buttons
but this is not the best solution, hope there is something better (somthing very simillar to sony ercicsson walkman features)

no idea??

Either use the headset that came with your phone or stop being lazy
I am sure there is something out there, if not, it is possible. You would need to ask a dev.

hehe fine. I'm searching now for a solution for a long time....
I tried to ask in the developers forum but i can't because i haven't got enough posts
i think it would be a great tool for the desire, if someone could create one.
How I said before: it's annoying to switch on the display if i want to play the next or previous song. I haven't got any control buttons on my earphones either- normal AKG IN-Ear.

In the Oxygen 2.0 RC7 ROM, with the screen off, you can skip tracks by a long-press of the volume buttons. Works for next track and previous on stock music player as well as a few others. Can't remember which ones...I'm using PowerAMP and it works for that.

yes i knew that but didn't try it.
so if it's possible to do that, there must be a possibility to do this with the other buttons...
I hope some of the developers read the thread otherwise i think it's a good idea to implement this function (choose a button for action) into a rom.

It is possible to re-map the buttons but I have no idea how it's done, sorry.

yes thanks. i will try to send a massage to a developer team to ask them.
but if there are any ideas please post here.

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button
Hi developers ,
I am really thankful for all your contributions that you've made for all of us , I am coming with a new request to see if this is possible ,
I've got mod which helps me to make the Volume rocker button on note to work as previous and next tracks changer when screen is off ,
If this is the case i am looking forward to check with you guys if its possible that when the screen is off can we make the power button for long press as Play Pause ?

This should be possible but power button could actually switch off the phone as well.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Hey, i dont know much about those things, but i dont think menu button would be a good choice since it is a capacitive button... I'd rather use the home button, cause theres no further use on longpressing it on the lockscreen?
peace

[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
