PowerAmp widget in Widget Locker only while playing

Hi, is there any way to have the PowerAmp widget in Widget Locker lockscreen only while playing music?
Like the normal PowerAmp lockscreen but in Widget Locker

No way to do so?

I don't believe you can do that with the PowerAmp widget, but you can use Phantom Music Control which does exactly what you want.

Thanks mate!

I realize this is long since died but figured I would update with a new solution if anyone is interested. If you simply use tasker to suspend widgetlocker (via 3rd party actions) when the variable for music track %MTRACK is set and then force the poweramp lock screen into play you get poweramp lock screen when music is playing that unlocks directly to the homescreen. Obviously to reverse it when music is not playing simply resume widgetlocker when the %MTRACK is cleared.
Works flawlessly for me on my Galaxy SIII. Only thin I noticed is that if you are still on the open poweramp music player but the music is paused, the %MTRACK variable must still be set because widgetlocker is suspended, but usually its playing in the background for most people I assume if you pause it you likely are exiting out at that point anyway. This should work for any music app that sets the %MTRACK variable, not sure which ones all do that but...Hope it helps a few!

Better lock screen on Touchwiz?

I know a lot of people don't like Touchwiz UI so they would suggest moving to AOSP our CM but I enjoy the motion features built in to the TW ROMs. With that in mind, are there any mods that can make the lock screen more functional?
I had CM7 on my captivate for a while and I loved having the audio player accessible from the lock screen. I tried widget locker on this phone (GS3) but it seemed to slow it down and the music controls were always there, even when I wasn't using the music player. If I remember right, on CM7 the music controls only showed up when I was listening to music.

^^^^ I also chose to stay TWUI due to all the features the phone provides. Hopefully we can get some devs on board to update the lockscreen. I would actually like an htc weather lockscreen port....

I haven't found the setting that only makes the music controls appear when I am listening to music. You're saying it has that ability?

I use PowerAmp and the music controls (which look great) only show up when music is playing.
I presume you already know about adding icons, weather, stock, etc. to the lock screen via TouchWiz? Some replacements look interesting (I want one, too, hehe!): Hive Unlocker. Here's a list: http://techthumbs.com/replace-your-android-phones-lock-screen

Widget Locker does have this ability via widgets. In particular, Phantom Music Control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget&hl=en from the market is basically a widget with player controls along with music metadata. The widget has a neat ability to disappear when there is no music playing. HOWEVER, the widget is still there along with the controls so if your screen accidentally turns on, you run the risk of pressing those "invisible" buttons. I haven't used it since Gingerbread so they may or may not have addressed this issue.
Or if you're main concern is to just change tracks, look for a ROM that has "Long-press volume to change tracks". This is very convenient when you're working out or any other situation where you don't feel like turning your screen on just to change tracks. I'm using The Devil's Reject right now which has it already baked in. Very cool ROM as well!

Music Player widget

Just gone back to stock music player from power amp as I really think it sounds better. But... I can't find a widget! Is there another recommended music player widget I can use?

Same here. I tried zopper widgets but it behaves strange with my launcher. I now use lock screen or the player in notification

Found Jack's music widget which seems fine but not keen on the ram it uses, will try adjusting power amp (again)

[Q] Any way add full Pandora controls to a lockscreen widget?

I am currently using WidgetLocker in combination with Zooper Pro on my OnePlus One on Android 4.4 and I really want a more customized Pandora widget than the default one from Pandora. Has anyone developed a good way to do this? The most important things I want are the thumbs up/down buttons... It would also be awesome if it would autohide and not show anything if Pandora isn't playing. I really only run my music through Pandora so I'm not worried about any other kind of integration.
Thanks in advance!

Music Player with custom Lock Screen

Hi, im using the popular app JetAudio as a music player on my A50. It was fine until I upgraded to Android 10, now i see that, while music is playing, it is not possible anymore to have a customized lock screen with music controls, song info, album cover, etc.
I tried other apps but apparently the stuff that can be displayed on lock screen is strictly controlled by Samsung.
Is there any alternative music player allowing to show music info on lock screen, or any workaround, or shall I only wait and hope that an update from Samsung wil reintroduce this feature?
Regards, and thanks in advance for any reply!

I tried, but JetAudio is way more configurable, a better equaliser, and thanks to its DSP opions, "sounds better"
Having music info on lock screen is a plus, after all...
Thanks for your reply!
