We need this mod!!

Any screenshots of this?

is this the lock screen controls you want? (the one from the video)

There is an app that works with either stock music player of music mod by Eliot Stocker on the market. Haven't tested it, but I can imagine it'll be along the same lines

Re:
I'm running one of the latest cyanogen roms and yes the lockscreen controls are awesome. I really missed that part from sense. And I must disagree with dmpwd because I feel the controls are way better implemented on cyanogen.
1) You can choose if you want the controls always available or not (unlike sense which only shows it when music is playing
2) The sense version always slides back down after 1 or 2 seconds which is really really annoying. By the time I hear the next song and determine if I want to skip that one as well it has moved back down again *sigh*
And it's a lockscreen...why would I want to look at the album art when the screen turns back off anyway right after I move to another song? The only thing missing atm is the artist/songname but I wouldn't be surprised if they're working on that already.
Oh, and cyanogen has the longpress volume-up/down for switching songs as well (very handy in the car).
But to each his own . I'm loving the mods/tweaks of cyanogen.

didn't know about that way to switch songs. sounds really good.
btw, would you please confirm whether cyanogen's lockscreen is the one on the youtube video posted in this thread?
thanks!

Re:
If you pause the youtube video at the 15 sec mark, that's what the controls look like. So it's the white controls only without the square borders that are shown. If you pause the music then it only shows the play button. And there's no fast-forward or rewind on longpress of the buttons for instance. I'm using the cyanogen nightly (cm_bravo-07272010-154338) atm.
I just found out the lockscreen controls also work for the Pandora app . No idea if the sense one does that as well but it's handy. Mostly use the default music app myself.

the controls in cyanogenmod V6.0.0-RC1 look slightly different than the ones in the video, they are more basic and I definately prefer them.
Anyone help on how to do this??

Already tried it, would defiantely prefer the cyanogenmod way ;-)

Re:
darkenergy is right. Widget locker is great. You can use any (stock) widget on the lockscreen since it replaces it. I totally forgot about it since I use QuickDesk (which is awesome btw, double tapping the homekey brings up an extra screen which is basically a layer over any open application so you don't have to go back to a homescreen, I use it for all the toggles, a music and messaging widget). The previous versions of widget locker had some problems with QuickDesk and I don't want to be without that app.
The great thing is that now the developer updated widget locker you can also use the doubleclick on the homebutton on the lockscreen, which is really awesome. A single press doesn't do anything, stays on the lockscreen. Just make sure you use QuickDesk as default home, set Widget Locker as launcher in QuickDesk and your normal launcher in Widget Locker
I just updated widget locker to 1.2.2 and put the Pure Music widget on the lockscreen. This means you have the album art there as well if you want it. You can even use the 4x4 widget. Works great. Widget Locker is also very customizable. Hide notification bar, which keys unlock, different background and so on.

Why do you prefer the cyanogenmod way? It's great for sure, especially since you don't need another app but that's about the only benefit I see of the cyanogenmod way . Am all for it to see it as a default/option in other roms, just curious why you prefer it.

[Q] SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 Lockscreen Music Controls [Q]

I installed the ROM a few weeks ago and it works great. Just realized this option is on my phone :3 However I notice it doesn't work. I have the default 6 lockscreens that come with the rom, and although the music controls show on some of the lockscreens, (play, pause, forward, rewind) they do not do anything, even if I have music playing and then lock screen to access the controls. If I tap on the buttons I get the sound effect from touching them, just no control. Something I'm doing wrong? Something that can be fixed?
PS: I love using the puzzle lock, but it is one of the locks that do not show the music controls. Anyway to make it do so?
PSS: Sorry If this has been posted before, I looked and did not find anything ><

The lock screen issues have been discussed before in this thread. No fix for them right now.

[Q] Lockscreen music controls on GNexus

I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a week and a half now and at first I thought the new feature of music controls appearing on the lockscreen was being a bit buggy as sometimes I would not see them on the lockscreen while I was actively playing music on the phone. After paying closer attention to it though, it looks like what's actually happening is that the music controls just flat out don't show up on the lockscreen unless the Google Music app is open and showing on the phone's screen.
In other words, if you start playing music via the widget on one of your home screens by pressing the "play" button and thus do NOT fully open the Google Music app and bring it up on the screen, the lockscreen controls won't appear.
Does this ring true for you other Galaxy Nexus owners? If so, I have to say that I am *extremely* annoyed by this behavior with the lockscreen controls. I do not want to have to actually open the music app, bring it up to the screen and then select "play" just to have the lockscreen show the music controls. Having to go through that defeats a big chunk of the reason and benefit of having a widget for the music app! I just want to be able to hit "play" on the widget and go from there.
Anyone else able to verify this is how things also work on their own GNexus?
Thanks for sharing your info on this!

I don't have this issue with the Music app. As long as its playing, background or not, it will show up with controls on the lockscreen.
I am running a custom rom however I don't think that portion of the rom has been edited.

Hmm...okay, thanks for the feedback! Interesting to know because my stock Galaxy Nexus def has this problem on a regular basis.
Anyone running a stock GNexus care to comment?

I'm running a stock Galaxy Nexus and had the same issue. I eventually found that the "headset button controller" app (a third-party one) was disabling the lockscreen controls...

Had the problem on both stock ROM and bugless beast. Just switched to aokp 25 today hoping it will go away..

I also dont experience this when i have GoogleMusic installed instead of AOSP Music (which does not have lockscreen controls, if i recall it right).
currently running:
self-built aosp kang (aosp/master)
tweaked stock kernel 3.0.8

I'm the OP for this thread and just thought I'd comment since it's been "brought back from the dead" with some new posts.
Back in December when I was asking about this issue I actually managed to have a conversation about this issue with someone from Google who is part of the Google Music team and it turns out this issue was a bug they had missed. They said they would fix it in an update to Google Music and sure enough, about 2-3 weeks later they pushed out an update that fixed it.
I never ran into this issue again after that update, so just wanted to share the info.

Got my lockscreen music controls back!

I have been wondering for months why my lockscreen music controls were gone and uninstalling "Jays Headset Controls" brought them back! Thank you!

I just got my first 4.2 ROM. It's XenonHD and my music controls are no longer there.. Otherwise I like the ROM.. Argh..

Just and update, the music controls Are back, I don't to it was xenonhd that was causing it. I restarted and now it works so I dunno

Cool folders in jelly bean touchwiz

I just noticed that on the sprint Jellybean leak, the way folders is implemented in the stock touchwiz has really improved! Sure it may not be as easy as simply dragging the icons onto each brother, but still looks slick!

i think the new jellybean update allows for drag and drop folders. does anyone know if it comes with lockscreen music controls though?

You still can't have lockscreen music controls.
Well in the Gnote II port anyways which runs 4.1.1
You can although drag down the notification bar and control it that way for music! So it's better than nothing :good:

Not if you have security enabled, this has always been my issue with Sammy.
Also note you can use any other player such as Rocket/PowerAMP etc and get the native lock screen controls. When I was Stock i used Google Music and had control on the security lock screen.

[Q] A few newbie questions.

Okay so I got my Note two and I've only just had today to have a play about with it.
I have a few questions if anyone (or more) can nudge me in the right direction.
Firstly is there an app that allows me more control over the track I'm playing? If I remember correctly but I could double click the volume button on my iPod Touch and skip forward or back depending on if it was volume up or down.
Is there anyway of changing the colours of the notification icons at the top of the screen or hiding them?
Is there anyway of setting the buddypage to an app. I like the music one but it always reverts to the stock player.
Last but not least it's the one that I find most annoying. I have a small tab light blue in colour which seems to come and go of it's own choosing. You can add different apps to it and move it to any side of the screen you want to. Is there any way of disabling it so it stops getting on my nerves?
Thanks in advance.

You might take a look at an alternate music player like PowerAmp. I recall it having options to use hardware buttons to control playback.

Not that I know of in the stock ROM. I can't say about other ROMS, I haven't tried them.

I think you're noticing the Multi-Window tab. You can either long-press the back button to hide the tab, or disable Multi-Window completely using the notification toggle.

Thanks for the speedy response mate.
Yeah that got rid of the annoying tab thanks very much.
Not sure what you mean by disabling it with the notification toggle.
But at least I know how to get rid of it when it pops up.
So thanks again. It was doing my head in.

LOL. You hate the one feature that everyone was dying to have.
Pull down your notification bar on the top of the screen.
You will see your toggle buttons up top for various settings, such as Wifi,GPS, bluetooth etc.
Slide that toggle panel all the way across. On the far right end you will see the toggle for Multi Window. Just click it and the setting is turned off.

If you download and use another launcher, such as Nova, you can have full screen. That will hide the notifications, battery and clock…and everything else that shows at the top of your screen.

I have the international Note II and this does not have a toggle for the multi-window menu bar in the notifications pull-down.

Good mention about Nova launcher. I use Apex launcher, and use two-finger swipe up to hide the notifications bar. I forgot that was in there.

Thanks for the answers guys it's very much appreciated.
I can confirm the back button works to get rid of the multiscreen.
A special thanks to mcphail for the pointers especially to Poweramp. What a hell of a player. I had given the note up as a decent music player. I thought also of replacing the earphones.
But the bass is great on poweramp. Fantastic program.
