[REQUEST] Volume button skip music - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Like the title says, can I anyone with enough knowledge how to do this make it work for the S4, I had it on my S3 and I loved how I was able to skips songs using the volume button when the screen is off.

...

Poweramp allows the use of the volume buttons to skip tracks, and the paid version also allows the use of mic button on headphones to play/pause/skip forward/skip back, depending on how many times the button is tapped
I believe DoubleTwist may have volume skip as well, plus (I think) it has the ability to sync with iTunes.
u may wanna check this out as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.volbtntrackctrl&hl=en

I do have poweramp but would you guide me how to do it for poweramp cuz ive looked and I don't see it

i presonally havent tried it but i heard the S4 has one built into the default music app. i think its DOUBLE TAPS, though.

This feature would be really nice to have, although it can't be part of a music application.
For me it has to be a system wide function so I can use it in Pandora or Slacker.
I can't remember which rom included it, but when I first started trying all the gs4 roms, one of them had this feature.

CM10.1 has it built in, as do the other AOSP based roms I imagine.

Somebody will prolly beat me to it, but this is going to be a feature in my ROM once i get my device situated. I have issues with it and its not even a week old. So once chainfire gets his Triangle Away working with our device, im going to be returning it for a new one.

You can do it (and lots of other things) by installing Xposed framework, there is topic somewhere in S4 forums

Music controls in notification bar?

I've done some searching around here and the market, and I can't seem to find a solution any where. I'm looking for a way to put music controls in the notification pull down bar? I think it would be convenient instead of having to switch apps or add one of those pop-up apps. Thanks.

Hmm. Also interested.
I believe some music apps have this built in, but it would be nice to have a system wide version
Bumping this out of curiosity as well. I was playing with my phone and listening to music and realized how beneficial this would be to have...
Although I haven't been able to find a ROM/App that does it yet...

MixZing does this. It also plays videos.
I'm using the incredible does sense desire port right now, and HTC has added a pause button to the pull down menu along with album art. It's very useful, but I still think that a skip button would be a plus.

The music player was always in the notification area when music is playing. Did they forget the music widget? I can just download another player from the market I'm just curious why there is no music widget.
So any recommended music players and ones with a widget.

Because, you already have easily accessible music controls in the notification bar, a widget is not needed.

I agree it sort of defeats the purpose, why have two things running to control one app? And BTW the lock screen music controls look sweet too. I'm loving this phone so far...

I come from a long list of HTC phones, so naturally I love the Sense music widget. It fills a 3x4 space and shows all the info you need. Of course unless someone mods it, we can't have it on the Epic 4G.
A good one I used for awhile too was an app called PowerAmp in the market. It also has an awesome widget.

I use a combo of sorts. I use DoubleTwist to sync my iTune playlist and I use Winamp to play the music. I do this because I have found that while DoubleTwist will sync playlist it will NOT create a play list and display it on the phone. The native music app will display the playlist but the songs are in reverse order. Winamp will display the play list that DoubleTwist synced and the songs will be in the correct order.
On a side note I have found that the Sony Walkman MP3 players have the best software for playing music. The sound is so much better compared to any other device that plays music.
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but here is a "stock" widget for the Epic 4G Touch that is on the Android Market. Says it is for the Galaxy S, but I can CONFIRM that it does indeed work on the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Very simple, but it works very well with the stock music player.
Search Android Market for "Samsung Galaxy S music widget"
This is useful if you don't want to get another music player and need something for a lock screen replacement like Widgetlocker.
Hope that helps.

Nice one. I tried that app ages ago and it didn't work with gingerbread, working perfectly now though as the dev has updated it. My home screen has been crying out for a music widget since I left sense.

From my understanding, you will have to kill the stock music player (or delete it, I did). You may be able to use Google Music if you delete it as a system app and install it from the market (no guarantee, haven't tried it). I use Poweramp instead of the stock music player and it is much better! Works flawlessly with this mod. Have used it on Frosty JB v10 and Wicked v 1.3 & 2.1. Hope you get it working!
I killed google music and it started working with Pandora. I tried installing Google music from the market and get the same behavior...Pandora not skipping tracks. That really sucks because those are the only 2 music apps that I use.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
check this out....
I had launched pandora... used it with the vol-rocker to skip tracks. everything was good.
I paused pandora by unplugging my headphones (autopause). I unfroze google music
Next, I opened google music to play some music, turned the screen off, and then tried to use the volume rocker to change tracks.
guess what happened? Google music stopped and pandora skipped to the next pandora track. I had to go into pandora, hit menu, then hit quit. After this, the music skipping worked perfectly in google music. Unfortunately, google music doesn't have a similar "quit" button.
conclusion? This volume rocker mod is not doing a good job of figuring out which music player has focus.
This was mentioned in that thread. UnknownForce mentioned this in the post.
So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the Mod itself, as it's doing what it's supposed to do (Send the MEDIA_NEXT or MEDIA_PREVIOUS broadcast to the system) It seems like it's something wrong with the way the system handles the broadcast and routing it to the appropriate application.

It was also mentioned a couple of posts below that, again by UnkownForce, in the original thread.
Yes, it does actually work, but only with the "Top level" music player. Which explains why when you remove the others, that it works with the current player, whatever player that may be.
It seems like it's a system bug that can't distinguish which player "has focus" when pressing a Media button like next or previous. I haven't had much time to look at it with the holidays and everything, but I'm still looking into ways to make this work.

I also noticed that if you aren't playing any music, long pressing the vol up will start playing music.

What's your preferred music player app?

Topic. I'm using the default one for the first time since I've been using Android. On my evo epic 4g and 4g touch I always used player pro but since owning the s3 I don't feel a need to use a after market one unless someone ports over the xperia music player with working widgets.

+1 for poweramp paid. I don't buy many applications but Poweramp was the one of the first i paid for. And I'm soo glad i did.:laugh:
I used the built in player for a few days, but I saw no means to retrieve the correct album art, and lol that annoys me when my music shows the wrong art, so I started using power amp paid version :good:

Most music players allow you to select which folders to add to your music library. Although others scan the entire device for sound files.
I like the option of storing files local. Works great for subways and airplanes.

I've been playing around with Music Player (remix) lately. Its still fairly new on the Android platform and the dev has some bugs to iron out, but the menu system is incredible. Almost everything is accessible from swipes left, right, up. $5 is a bit steep, try out the demo you might just fall in love with it.

Completely stock Note 2 - Best option for audio?

Hi all.
I have a note 2 which is on the latest official 4.3. Phone hasn't been rooted or anything as i'm a bit of a novice so haven't had a chance to mess around with all of that yet.
The phone is great and I've moved over from an Xperia Z which I just couldn't get on with. However, there is one thing the XZ excels in which the note doesn't appear to (at least out of the box anyway) and thats music.
The XZ had a media played with ClearAudio+ and it made all of my music sound absolutely amazing. I've downloaded a few apps off the store such as playerpro etc but none of them even come close to replicating the sound of the XZ.
My question is, is there an app anywhere or anything I can do to get my Note 2 to sound anything like the XZ?
Hello! I would recommend using PowerAmp. The trial version is available on play store. Unfortunately, for the full version, you must pay. But i'd say it's worth a try.
First root, you can have better sound quality than XZ. Just need to flash a small file and install one apk. Root first then...

Yeah I rooted the device yesterday, then went about flashing the Walkman zips from this site but that didnt work. I just got force closes on everything I tried to open. I then tried to flash the Acid Audio stuff and again, everything force closed on me when trying to open it. Eventually I gave up and flashed the Xperia Z Rom that is on here with a mixture of Note 2 and Note 3 improvements thrown in as well and that worked a treat so now I can finally enjoy Clear Audio + again :laugh:
Viper4Android ftw! The sheer number of options to tweak the sound to your liking may seem overwhelming at first, but once you get used to it, its absolutely amazing! Works perfectly fine on any rooted stock rom. Check with your rom though, it may break the ClearAudio+ functionality.
