1) Media Utilities is your friend! You can install it from the Play Store here and find a tutorial on how to use it with Zooper here.
2) If you use a custom launcher like Apex, Nova, Lightning, etc. they often provide shortcut actions to certain functions like opening the app drawer. You can use those via the OnTap action on either a widget or individual modules so they are used when you tap on the Zooper widget.

I don't own any Samsung Devices so I can't really help you out much. Two things though: does the native music player show up when you open Media Utilities? If not, you might have to add it manually. Also try it with Play Music to see if Media Utilities correctly works with Zooper (Play Music should definitely work and is always a good way to test things)

If you followed the tutorial, this shouldn't be a problem but just to cover all bases: did you make sure the"Make coverart available" option in MU is set? Could you also please post a screenshot of the advanced parameter settings for the bitmap module you use for the coverart?
ok

This looks exactly as I would expect it to be.
I'm sorry to say this but I currently don't have any further ideas. Though I have heard other people where it didn't worked one day and suddenly started to work the next. So maybe you are lucky and it will resolve itself. Other than that, you might have to file a bug with the Zooper guys to get this resolved.

Hello guys,
I want to present you one app that I created little time ago, Music Widget for Walkman that can be installed on any launcher unlike the stock one.
...and unlike the stock one this is quite simple and in holo style that fits almost every launcher.
At the top-right corner it has shortcut to one other app of mine for Walkman, the Lyrics Music Extension which you can also install from the Play Store.

Special Thanks to Akki Da Rockstar for his support and interesting recommendations.
And also for testing the app. So if you find any bug, blame it on him. xD

Some guys requested the Walkman icon on the screenshot... Here it is.
Thanks for your work
But after restarting phone, message that 'Unfortunately, music widget has stopped' appears and the widget doesn't work:crying:
I hope it would be fixed

I found a poor solution for this. Before restarting phone, i removed the music widget. And after restarting, i added the widget and then it worked.
If i does not remove the widget before restarting, the widget doesn't work however i re-added the widget.

I installed it, working great. No need to remove the album art imo, there already are widgets that work with any music player (including Walkman) but those don't show the album art, so this is what sets your widget apart. But still, it's nice to have the option. The Sony buttons make it look more authentic as well.
I have one styling issue with the Sony buttons though. When you press them, the highlight is a light grey rectangle, in the original widget it's a light grey circle that fits inside the button (it's like that in the Walkman notification anyway). I think the rectangular highlight is for the Holo buttons. Still working on that maybe?

In case anyone was looking for a music app that has edge screen controls, I just realized my Poweramp does have built in controls along with cover art automatically on the edge screen.
I am not rooted yet, running stock. But i do have the paid version of the app and i downloaded the free poweramp widgets pack... not sure if that makes a difference

Pandora, Milk, and Google Play do this as well..... Are you sure it isn't a Samsung thing?
That's not built-in to Poweramp. It's part of Touchwiz.
PlayerPro Controls On The Edge As Well
The PlayerPro app also has it's controls along the screen edge, too. I absolutely love it.
It's nice to be able to multitask and still have my music controls within reach.

All music apps' controls get sent to the Edge panel.

Holy mackerel! How many times must I say it? ALL music apps will trigger controls to show up in the Edge screen panel.
Most of these apps had/have notification tray controls.
These controls often get moved to the Edge screen. It's a Touchwiz trick.

So I guess Samsung has built in something to make this happen, that's great. This means we may not be so reliant on others for compatibility.
Power amp just added new edge controls specifically for Edge users! I really dig it but it doesn't add anything as far as panels go. Check it out, I'm on the paid but I'll bet you van check them on the trial version.
I noticed that if i start playback from Google play music's widget the edge controls are not activated, only if i actually start the app. Has anyone figured way around this?
It's funny how you all handled the trolling.

Yes, most apps that place playback controls in the notification panel get edge controls.
However, it appears that some may not.
"Shazam" has notification panel controls but does not create an edge panel.
I just bought 2 LG G4s from AT&T and when configuring it I noticed a missing Voice Recorder native app in the app drawer on both of them.
Researching on the Applications menu I see it under All Apps however I cannot access it. I found it located in the System\priv-app.
Is there a way to access the app? Anyone with the same issue?
Hmm. It works fine on my international version. I can offer you the apk and see if it will install over and let you access it if you want?

Any other ideas?
Can't you just use a third party alternative? They will probably be better anyway than whatever stock bloatware is preloaded onto these phones
I thought so but after downloading 4 of the top apps in the play store I was not able to change the storage path to my external SD card like the stock app. I came from the Galaxy S5 and I was used to save audio recorded directly to the SD card. Any suggestions?
My international version has the shortcut. I had used "Sound Recorder Shortcut" from KN Inc. on my previous phone. It's available at the Play Store.

The shortcut does not work as well. Thx.
I contacted LG support and this is their answer:
"Regarding your concern, the Voice Recorder feature should be accessible on the Quickmemo app.
1. From Home screen, tap APPS > QuickMemo > tap plus (+) icon > tap Menu button (3 dots on the upper right corner of the screen > tap Insert > select Record Voice."
So the Voice Recorder can only be accessed via another app. It does not work as a standalone app. Bummer!
This will let you make a shortcut to your homescreen and or a folder at least for the time being!

You have to hit the "TRY' shortcut to see if it is the correct one in the list as there are a handful of them. Just expand the Voice Recorder shortcut in the list within the shortcut program and start at the first one and on the next screen hit "TRY' to see if it opens the program. Keep trying the next one down til you get the program to launch then apply it and it will be on your homescreen. Took me a bit of fiddling around too!

Thank you sooo much for the tip. Now I can use the native app and store the recordings in the SD card (only system apps or apps written to store data in the Ext SD card can write in there).
I just tried it and it does not crash. It records to the ext SD card like a charm.

Stock video app is missing, but is listed under "all apps" in settings.
Hi all! I didn't want to create another thread and figured that my situation is similar but just with different app. I have T-Mobile's version of LG G4 and I can't find stock video app shortcut and it is missing in the app drawer. When I tap on a video file, through gallery, then I can choose which app to open the video with and it does play. Does any one have video app missing or maybe it is by design?

Install Feel the Wear, you can block notifications from your watch for any app.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sk.martinflorek.wear.feelthewear&hl=en_US
would you also be able to use the Android Wear App to block the YOUTUBE or GOOGLE MUSIC app notifications?
I have the same issue with Spotify. When I start playing Spotify, I get a spotify full screen thing on the watch with the track played and <</>> controls. Annoying, I don't care about the controls cause I can control Spotify from my true wireless earphones. I can't find a way to disable that.

I've tried this and it seems like it works for YouTube but it doesn't work for Google play music.
I found a way to stop my watch from showing what I'm playing. When you play a video or song from YouTube or Google play music and the media controls show up on the watch, long press the media controls face (in the center) and you get an option menu. One of the options is to turn off the media controls. Hopefully this helps someone.

I can add 4 custom shortcuts with the watch face i'm using (Called "Quante"). In the list of apps and functions, there is one called "media controls". Which means that as soon as I listen to music on the phone, that shortcut let me have access to the media controls.
What I originally wanted is for the media controls to NOT automatically come up, only when I pressed the shortcut and your solution worked like a charm.

I have not been able to figure out how to quick access audio music player controls without having to go to the particular app. My previous Android allowed me to access the stop/pause/play control over the lock screen and in the pull down menu from the top. What am I missing? Thanks.
Are you allowing your lockscreen to show all sensitive content (notifications) on it? I can play with my music apps some more shortly to see what happens - I mostly use them in Android Auto so I don't often look at the phone screen while music's playing.

I have my Settings to "show all notification content on lock screen." I should mention I'm running Nova launcher, which I've always been running on an Android phone. My issue is to be able to pause or play music from my lock screen or pull down menu, which I've always been able to do pre-P6P.

I use Nova Launcher (I am signed up for their Beta program) exclusively and have for ~10 years, give or take. The only effect Nova could possibly have in relation to lock screens that I can think of is that you can set gestures that lock the screen, either through Accessibility services without root, which performs a "hard" lock such as rebooting the phone (where you have to enter your primary unlock method - not biometrics), or via root where you can have gestures lock it "properly", which is ironically just like a normal lock. There may actually be a third or hybrid option in Nova that performs a normal lock without root - I can't recall for sure.
I've never seen it affect the contents of my lock screen so it's probably something else. I'm currently using CleanSlate kernel's Sweep to Sleep to lock the screen, so I'm not using Nova's gestures to lock the screen, but I was a month or so ago without any effect on music players, or my lock screen contents that I noticed.
Yeah, I've also been using Nava Launcher for years and never had an issue.

Thanks, I will try those. On my P6P I've been using Music Player, Poweramp, Spotify and Qobuz. The first two are new to this phone, but Spotify and Qobuz I've been using for a while and my memory is I was always able to access the controls on lockscreen and drop down.

In Poweramp settings need to turn on show on lockscreen.

Thank you, I found it. I upgraded to the paid version yesterday, I think that's why I wasn't seeing that setting before.

Awesome. PowerAMP and Nova Launcher Prime are probably the two oldest apps I paid for and still use.
