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?

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..

Finally got my handset this week, it's pretty sweet, I used to cook ROMs for the Toapz so Android is "a new toy" for me.
On the Topaz, well WM6.5 really, you could turn SRS off or on for any audio going through the headset/earphones. But I cannot find a way to do that on our DHD's via any of the obvious settings dialogues, other than exclusively in the hTC Music app?
This is pretty crap for me as I use the handset with last.fm, but cannot find a way to adjust the sound properties. Am I being an Android noob, or is this just simply not accessible at the moment?
I have no idea about the new Android App Inventor software, but could this be used to make a toggle widget for example?
I found it from default music player, but i don't know is it working with Last.fm.. But the Surround work really! I have tested it with Finnish tv program, TVKaista fo Android..

I've found that too, and you're right, it sounds pretty good.
But I can not find a way of activating it in applications other than native hTC ones?
On another note, the DLNA streaming is awesome, but again, is there any way to activate this for other applications other than the native hTC selection?
Start playing something on last fm. Press your home button and launch the htc music app. Make sure you have SRS/Dolby on. Press play and then pause. The sound on lastfm should be enhanced now.That's a "dirty" method to make it work (hopefully).

Nope. You can't trick it either.
Switching the enhancements has no effect, and as soon as you press play in hTC Music, last.fm stops playing and starts scrobbling the track that's loaded in Music - you cannot play both at once, they're linked.
Any other ideas?

I havent tried last.fm. But what I normally do is press play on the HTC Music app and then press play on the other app - this stops the HTC Music app, but the effects (Dolby/SRS) remain active. However, any (sound) notification, like, an new email/message, then the effects goes off. You have to start the process all over again .
Can anybody tell me what this is or how I could find out be it task manager or whatever... It appears every now and then whenever I'm connected to the web for an extended period of time. It stayed even after killing all programs via go launcher task manager

Do you have a music downloader on your phone? If you do, clear its app data and it will most likely go away.
If you don't have one or it doesn't work, then download Airpush and it will pinpoint the source

It was the music downloaded that was doing that for me. If you have it uninstall it. If you need a need a new one search for "music junk.apk" on 4shared.com. worked for me!

Thanks! Haven't seen any since I cleared the data.. also downloaded Airpush and found out some other apps were making different ads pop up which is useful info...
I guess I'll ask a second question while I've already got this thread: Does anyone know if WidgetLocker could cause the phone to not wake when the button is pressed, or perhaps anything else that could cause it.. I sometimes have to plug the charger in so that the screen comes on and after that it's okay. It's fine when i'm at home but potentially quite a major inconvenience.
WidgetLocker has randomly given me all kinds of odd issues not waking the screen, not being locked when woken up, changing themes on its own, moving or deleting Widgets finally it got sidelined for go locker now that it supports custom shortcuts

If you don't mind me asking, how do you do this? I used to have a program that I found on the Market named YouTube downloader, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Can you use lockscreen widgets (like poweramp) with go locker? I had it once before and couldn't very effectively, so I used WL because I could..
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

I have downloaded the new version of BSPlayer Apk 1.6.142 (Paid version) but yet again surprised to see player doesn't have widget to place the app in a home screen. I have searched forum of xda and found no custom widget. Searched google on how to make a widget but it seems a total unknown world of coding and designing. Can anyone help me with a separate widget pack for BS player only. Install pack of widget for BS player like a 4 x4 widget designed to match with my SAMSUNG Galaxy S3 pls.
Thanks
Model Number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: I9300XXDLID
Device Status: Normal (never rooted)
requested : BS player widget (apk)
are you sure that it has a widget
if so, did you move the app to SD card
widgets are not available if you move an app to SD card
move it back to your internal memory

No BS player doesn't have widget by default I guess, it only installs the player. That is why I requested to design it for me and other as well. One 4x4 widget can help to place the app in a home screen page and use it to listen to music or watch movies quickly by jumping to next home page. . If someone can develop a custom widget pack like the " player pro" has it is going to be helpful for everyone. We need some developer/coder to design a widget for BS player.
And to be honest I do not think S3 apps are movable to SD card specially when it is not rooted. My BS player is in internal memory(phone) I double checked. Anyway thanks .....
Do you mean a widget that will allow you to watch videos straight from the homescreen?
Firstly, we will need the source code for BS Player
Secondly, I'm not entirely sure that's technically possible at the moment, even with access to the code (I could be wrong)

No I requested a widget like "player pro" has and not to play directly from home screen but place the app in a different home screen.
for example look at this 4x4 widget of "player pro" I just want a same for BS player...

Just got this device and when it sits for a while it begins plays music in the background...puts you in mind of being at a Spa...has water sounds to it. It is the same sound just looping over and over.
I have looked at every setting and options and I cannot find the sound source at all. Does not do it all the time but I cannot track where this sound comes from when device sits for a while...
Sounds crazy but anyone have this experience on new 4.4.2 device?
Do you have an alarm set?

Since you just got this device I take it you're not rooted. Otherwise you could install App Ops via xposed installer and go to Media and control what apps are using Media function of your device (Screenshot is from my Nexus 4 but its the same for the Note, I was too lazy to go get it )
Are you sure there's no alarm apps, or maybe live wallpapers? Or maybe if you side loaded an apk then maybe it could be that. I'm just pulling at straws.
Post a list of installed user apps and I'll take a look and see if anything seems out of the ordinary :good:

Yeah, you should see it running under media and then you can just block access.
The same applies to the other heart app you were taking about. You can also block notifications in App Ops. There's also another way to do this. Go to settings-apps, select the Heart one and press the 'show notifications button'
