Volume buttons music control - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So when I was on custom roms There was this awesome feature that you can control your music using volume buttons when the screen is off. But I returned to stock and I miss this feature a lot. If you guys know how I can get the feature on stock please share. Thx

Ditto. I loved that feature when I had my nexus s. I'm currently using jedi 7.2 but it isn't part of this rom. Is there a way to add this?

Use poweramp, it's a well rounded music app with lots of extras.

I'm aware of poweramp but it still doesn't give you the option to change songs without turning the screen on.

[Q] Lock screen music controls on ICS

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. :/

Volume control

A while back I had a volume control option to lower my music volume while notifications were coming through rather than my music being completely interrupted. I don't remember if it was a system setting, ROM setting or an app. Does anyone know how to get this back?
What rom are u currently running?

Luquidcontrol 1.3 now....
Hmmm. I'm not familiar with that series of roms. I know that with aokp there is an option under the volume setting to link or in link the volumes

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
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
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.

Lock Screen Music/Spotify Contols

Wondering if there is an app or way to enable music controls on the lock screen?

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.

Pie launcher

Im on jedi x 13, and have pie launcher working, just curious to what everyone is using it for. I had toggles on it, but the pull down is good for that, just cant think of what to use it for at the moment.

I use it for quick access to necessary apps while I'm out n about on my bicycle. music maps etc its not as valuable as say is you were on nexus 7 but its a awesome jedi feature. I use it without the info showing because I like using the s pen thanks b whoever posted those awesome Hover point icons. If your feeling pie I recommend you checkout a app called relaunch1

why not just show your screen caps?
I've set it up with basic buttons like, back, home, recent apps, menu. I always use it coz it just appears on the side or bottom screen so i don't have to look down to press home or whatever.
POWERED by FROSTY!
Yeah ive tried it for all those things, found that the integrated phone features were easier and more user friendly. I like the feature and idea, just need the proper functionality for it.
