I have been using Cover which I quite like, but it's quite unstable and is no longer being developed.
Has anyone another Lock Screen to recommend with the ability to take on 6 or so short cuts and put the Play Music controls on top so you don't have to actually unlock to skip songs?

Hi,
I believe this question has been asked tons of times before. However, neither Google nor the search here did return any usable results.
When I have my Desire in my pocket while listening to music, it is a giant pain to guess where the "next track"-button is on the lock screen. It would be terrific, if I could just press one of the buttons which are out of use anyway. As an alternative, I could think of an app which makes the lock screen controls more usable (bigger? gestures?).
Thanks
Hi to all. I've been using DeFroST for a while now and loving it. Since the current version has the possibility to place music controls on the lock screen, I wanted to know if it's possible to get the pattern unlock AFTER unlocking the phone with the slide.
The current status forces me to draw the pattern, and only then access the music controls (inside the application).
I had this option when I was using Sense, since you slide to unlock, and only then draw the pattern to access your phone.
This is very useful when I'm driving, since I don't have to draw the unlock pattern every time I want to skip a music.
Thank you all in advance.

This affects only AOSP ROMs. I have already complained about it at thread OpenDesire but no reaction.
Stock ROM works this way but the stock slider is terrible - too easy to pick up or refuse an incoming call.
Anyone know of a program that will lock the screen and buttons when playing a video with some sort of pattern to unlock? I've got a 2 year old that likes to watch movies but always pushes buttons
The very first time I used my phone when the screen was locked I was able to get the music controls to come up with above the pattern. Now I can only get it to work by sliding down the notification panel which is an extra step that can be a little annoying when working out or driving. I searched and couldn't find any solutions and was wondering if anyone knew. I normally use google music, but I don't mind the samsung player.
And is the screen timeout function buggy? I have mine set to ten minutes and sometimes it'll stay on and sometimes it'll timeout after a couple minutes which is also a nuisance since I generally like to keep my screen on when I'm driving or exercising so I can stay focused.

what ROM are you running or are you stock rooted/unrooted?
Stock.
the music control feature on the lock screen was not included in the 4.1.1 release. you probably saw it before you updated and are not seeing it now. how recently did you update? moving to 4.1.1 is probably also related to your screen timeout issue.
Don't have a live wallpaper for lock screen. Controls will shows when static wallpaper is set for lock. Try Google play if stock music player does not show.

For the screen time out thing, do you have a secured lock time option under lock screen in your settings?

I've noticed that when an app in android wear gives me the option to view on phone, it wakes my phones screen but I still have to slide to unlock and then I will find the app I want waiting for me. It seems like this situation doesn't exactly call for a lock screen, since I will obviously have the phone nearby if I am planning to use it for the app i was just using in wear. So my question is, does anyone know a way to bypass the lockscreen in this specific situation? I feel like the lock screen takes away from the magic a little bit. If I could launch an app from my watch and immediately see it on my screen without touching my phone at all, that would feel a little more "the future is now"ish, I believe(x

Turn off your lockscreen or use an app like Pebble locker to turn off lockscreen while the watch is connected.
