Nope. Not without actually writing one apparently. Shame really, as I love it too, but swithed away because there is no widget.

It integrates perfectly into the notification tray, so just pull down to access the controls. I like how you can even control from the lockscreen without having to unlock.

Guys use, Cubed!!

yes true, but i would love to have it fill a section of my homescreen so i can look at the album art

sounds good. too bad samsung did't go all the way with the intergration by creating a widget for it. but the fact that you can access the music controls while the phone screen is locked is very good. i like how they implemented it.

Alright guys, I don't care that there is no widget for the player, but I DO care that I can't change the songs with the volume buttons, which is REALLY annoying

As their name says, volume buttons are to control the sound volume, so what do you expect...

Mixzing is a rather good music player I found. Sorry I'm aware it means you wont be using the default Samsung one, but this one is loaded with features, has a custom EQ, 3 widgets and you can control it from the lock screen. I paid for the nicer version of it as it's something I now use everyday.

I'd really like something like this. Like on the iPhone headphones when you double click the button on the headphones it changes song, saves you from having to go into your pocket all the time.

I expect when my screen is Off, holding VolUp or VolDown to change the songs.
This is a natural way to do it.

And if I want to change the volume, what should I do? Unlock the device first ?
Shaking the device to go to the next song is much better I think.

Yeah... especially great for runners.. changing the song every 5 sec when you run fast! great idea!

Do you change the volume every 5 sec when you run?

In jpk, volume works with screen locked.

Guys, stop pulling legs.
My 5 year old WM2003SE phone has all the customizable buttons for everything. Hold the camera button and I program it to start the music player. Several other customizations.
I still can't believe on this "advanced", so called "flexible" phone, I don't have the option of customizing buttons (other than power button to end the call).
Worse, the music player plays every junk after it has to scan for music and video each time we restart the phone or unmount and mount the memory cards.
I would like to see a way to tell the phone to scan only particular folders and best it should SAVE the scanned items rather than being ABSOLUTE DUMB to scan each time it restarts the phone or mount a card. WHY SHOULD IT SCAN in the first place? We could just tell it like every other phone or music player app to "Search a folder" when needed!
I would appreciate some discussion on this. Sorry for diverting from this thread. I could start a new one to discuss, if needed.

There is a way to change the songs with HOLDING (not just pressing) the VolUp button, but nobody wants to give me a hand. I need some developers help.
I don't know how to decompile apk files or something like that.

I understand you, its like on every Sony Ericsson's phone.
Holding "-" - change song to next
Holding "+" - change song to previous
Pressing "-" - reducing volume
Pressing "+" - increasing volume
I want it more than android 2.2

Cool, I'd too like to see this implemented! Also, double-tap on the headset's button to change the track would be nice.

Motorola's S9 have control button on the earphone, you can change songs with them whenever you want (wasn't working with Android on vogue)

control the music, when screen is off (Buttons)

Hey guys,
i am searching for a mod for the custom roms (i have leedroid now), where it's possible to change the music track if the screen is off.
for example by pressing the "search" button for the next and the "back" button for the previous song.
I saw that it's possible in OpenDesire and Cyanogenmod to change the track by holding the volume buttons and another mod calling "search2play".
But is it possible to do this with the other hard-buttons by giving them a special action, when you are pressing them.
Thanks

I have been looking for this function too, I was searching media player that can do that and only one I found was astro nova... but you have to press unlock to switch to lock screen and here it is possible to switch songs by long pressing up and down volume buttons
but this is not the best solution, hope there is something better (somthing very simillar to sony ercicsson walkman features)

no idea??

Either use the headset that came with your phone or stop being lazy
I am sure there is something out there, if not, it is possible. You would need to ask a dev.

hehe fine. I'm searching now for a solution for a long time....
I tried to ask in the developers forum but i can't because i haven't got enough posts
i think it would be a great tool for the desire, if someone could create one.
How I said before: it's annoying to switch on the display if i want to play the next or previous song. I haven't got any control buttons on my earphones either- normal AKG IN-Ear.

In the Oxygen 2.0 RC7 ROM, with the screen off, you can skip tracks by a long-press of the volume buttons. Works for next track and previous on stock music player as well as a few others. Can't remember which ones...I'm using PowerAMP and it works for that.

yes i knew that but didn't try it.
so if it's possible to do that, there must be a possibility to do this with the other buttons...
I hope some of the developers read the thread otherwise i think it's a good idea to implement this function (choose a button for action) into a rom.

It is possible to re-map the buttons but I have no idea how it's done, sorry.

yes thanks. i will try to send a massage to a developer team to ask them.
but if there are any ideas please post here.

[Q] App for easy music control

Hi,
Istore recently released an app for iphones which helps control your music just by tapping on the phone. ie. if you want to pause/play music you tap once on your iphone, if you want to go to the next track you tap twice etc etc.
This is useful for sports or at times when you dont want to open the whole screen just to change the media or pause it; its a shortcut.
Now i know we have Wave Control for Android, but its not convenient enough, do we have anything similar to the one iPhone has for android? I mean tapping system?
Thanks In Advance
And i think this can be useful for a lot of users around the world!

Why no answer

maybe theres wasn't available yet..

Yep, thats just too bad...

The lock screen in PlayerPro supports double tap to play and pause, and swipe left or right for next track / previous track.

Dasaita PX6 Touch Buttons

Hi,
I just installed a Dasaita PX6 Max 10 in my nissan. It has touch buttons down the left hand side of the unit to select the menu, navigation, music, volume down and volume up.
I can go into the touch key study and remap the buttons without issue, choose a different program for the navigation button to load etc but I can't choose the buttons to load custom applications. There is no option to change the default music player so I am hoping there is a work around. I have tried a couple of button mappers from the play store with no success.
Does anyone know how to change the buttons?
Thanks.

Nothing. I have looked and followed posts to bind the buttons, albeit this only allows me to choose from a predefined list. It doesn't allow me to choose a specific application as far as I can see.
I haven't read posts where someone says this can't be done, nor have I read a post with instructions. Therefore I am wondering if I am missing something obvious and hence why no one else has this issue?
My software appears to be the latest available according to another forum post.

I'm not sure if that's a glitch. There could be a reason they don't want you assigning apps to the touch buttons... I don't know, but you can always customize your launcher or even install your own with customisable app buttons.

Thanks for your reply. For the time being I have downloaded Agama launcher which appears to integrate well, and I have disabled the music button.
From other research it appears that if the device was rooted then I could possibly use mtce tools or services to re assign the buttons so I'm currently looking for instructions for doing that, as the other articles appear to refer to px5 devices.

did you have any further success? I'm very much interested in that, too.

Unfortunately not. I didn't want to try and root it incase I messed up zlink and my vehicle specific parameters.
I just disabled the music button for now and use agama to launch everything.

Hi,
Yes I found that a different version of mcd tools which I downloaded from here:
Post in thread '[Release][PX3|PX5] MtcdTools-Control music players, customize buttons, voice control' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-buttons-voice-control.3436789/post-83416527
Allowed me to custom bind the music buttons to dab+.
I just had to change the factory setting for the music button first. I set it up to launch the radio on long press only. That way when I bound a short press using mcdtools it didn't open the default radio app in the background.

Yeah! Found that too and wanted to post it here, but haven’t had time to further play around with it. Works on my Dasaita Max10. Good tip the factory setting thing!
by the way: rooting worked flawlessly with this instruction (also based on posts in this forum):

It's all working great now. I have set the touch buttons up to open the media player on a single click and disabled that application In settings. This has allowed me to set it to open dab z on short press and Spotify on long without it opening the media player at all.
Previously I used it to open the default radio app and that caused issues with it going back to Spotify or dab z.

would you mind describing a bit more detailed, what exacly you did (which exact settings). Would apreciate that very much!

I'll post proper instructions tomorrow, but I went into factory settings and set the music button to open the media player on a short press. Then in Android applications I disabled the media player applocation so it didn't launch anything when pressed.
I then used mtcdtools to create actions for dab z and Spotify.
Then I bound the action to the key for the music button. Choosing dab z for the short press and Spotify for the long press.

thats proper enough for me, Thanks!

I downloaded poweramp from play store and it integrates with no hacking or rooting. I set it as my touch key default music player. Very much recommend it.
