I know one of the features for ICS was lock screen music controls similar to iOS. I use Play Music because I've been able to combine my wife and my own iTunes catalogs with Google music.
So is there a way to cause the lock screen controls to show for any music app? Or is this one of those painful things due to working off of leaked builds.
Thanks.

I think it just has to do with touch wiz on top of ics. Have you tried using the stock music app? I think that'll give you music controls in the lock screen
The stock music app isn't in the rom.

Stock music app doesn't connect to the cloud which sucks unfortunately. :/

Hello I'm facing a weird problem.
I'm on 4.1.2 stock.
He widgets are working properly but they dont change
For example
If a music widget is playing a song and displaying which song is playing but when. I click the next button it Changes the song but doesn't change the song displayed on the widget.
Same goes for power widget
I cange the brightness and the brightness changes normally but widget doesn't update itself
Please help

Did you restrict background data on any of those apps?
Are you using a task killer?
Both of these things can stop widgets from updating.

Volume Button Music Controls
im used to an HTC that allows you to progress thru your music tracks by holding down on the volume button. Is that feature somewhere in this phablet that i have now?

Id like to know this also. I had this on evo where I can skip songs using the volume buttons not having to take out the phone out of my pocket and get robbed on the train.

I miss this from CM10!
Until someone incorporates that feature into a custom ROM, you can try this:
"Tactile player"

I have used it in the past when desperate(when a new ROM did not have track skip volume rocker)
Probably will use it again if I get a Note II
Well I just found out if u use Google play the music player shows up in the lock screen but not with the stock music player tho.

Mine doesn't show controls on lock screen when using Google play music ? Can't find it in play settings either

Mine is also not showing the music controls on the lock screen. Tried the built in player and google play. Doesnt seem to be an option anywhere either. Can't wait for a good custom rom that adds this in like on the HTC EVO phones. I do miss that from my EVO Shift.

I'm pretty sure they were referring to the notification bar.

poweramp will you give you lockscreen controls, it is a pay for app, but is a solution
Winamp has a setting to show lockscreen controls. It is a full screen display with album art, prev track, play/pause, next track, and an unlock button on screen. The volume buttons still control volume, not tracks, though.
This is what I did. Just got widget locker now I got my music and weather widget in love.
This is ridiculous, I'm trying to get music controls on the lockscreen also. I'm used to AOSP lockscreen that will put the controls at the top when music is playing. I use this with Spotify and Doggcatcher.
I've found that the music controls don't show up on the lockscreen if you're using "Swipe" or "tilt" unlock methods, but they show up with other security levels.
I would love it if there was some way to get the music controls on the top for the Swipe unlock method.
Hi,
My galaxy note 2 Screen off automatically when watching flash streaming in browser (after like 30seconds) is there any way i can avoid this. ?
I installed unofficial flash player on my stock rom.
Thanks
Srini
U just gave to change ur screen timeout in display settings from 30 seconds to something higher. The web browser doesn't recognize that the flash video is running so the screen still times out

My screen is set to be off after 15 sec but im using Screebl from Play Store. That app keeps screen On untill you put your phone flat. The only think is that you have to remember to turn screen off before you put phone in your pocket

I want to know how to make the music player appear in the lockscreen secured with a pattern, but cant, even when having the music player on, the screenshot with the music player on is my friend's (black wallpaper) and he doesn't know how he did it, in mine this happens (blue wallpaper).
Btw his phone isnt rooted. Mine is. Plx help. We are both on official 4.3
