I played around with the latest OMFGB nightly (8/25) and saw that they added notification bar music controls similar to what is on touchwiz. Anyone know of any way to make this work for a Sense based ROM? I just think it'd be an awesome thing to add to the Sense notification bar since you can control music easily while you're in the middle of an application. It'd fit well in the space that the recent apps would usually take up and autohides when no music is playing.
That said, the things I like about touchwiz style controls allow you to control any music application that is currently running (Spotify, Google Music Beta, etc, at least in the case of AOSP ROMs), and, as mentioned, hides whenever there is no music playing. Only thing I don't like is that they only pull album art and track information from the stock music application, where others will display no information and a gigantic ~unknown-unknown~~ in the status bar. Given that any running application is already in the notification bar with track information directly below that, I think that just having music toggles with no info would be better (plus could have bigger buttons)
Lot of rambling. Guess the thing I wanted to know was if the sense framework allowed this as AOSP does, and would any dev/themer think it's worth tackling?
Hi guys i saw this awesome jellybean features on LG nexus 4 from the original jellybean messaging where a notification pop ups directly on a lockscreen and the on and off lockscreen animation plus the original notification sound with it. I thought if some developer here could take a look in it make it possible to port the same original apk files for our device especially for our xperia ion's would be totally great..

The lockscreen stuff cant be ported to Xperia firmware because it is integrated into the framework. It could probably be ported to a cm10 version that runs on ion though.
Hello guys,
I was tired of Google Music, it crashes sometimes, was slow and unhandy for me. As I am a fan of the old standard Android Music Player, I decided to mod the old beast to get a fresher look.
It works flawlessly with every ROM. I am on AOKP MS1 Jelly Bean, just for the record.
The player has a status bar widget, is available on lockscreen and recognizes "VOL-Button to next track", if your ROM supports this.
If you like this Mod, feel free to download and install. Just push the .apk to /system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--, reboot and you are done.
In addition I packed a CWM-flashable .zip just for your convenience. Old Music.apk's will be deleted then! Please make a backup if you are unsure.
Version 2.0 can be installed as a normal app! If it doesn't install, you can push it to /system/app - eventually you must delete old Google Music then.
Screenshots and file are attached, keep on rocking!
Changelog:
12-22: Release v1
12-24: Release v1.1, new icons and new Tab bar, small fixes
04-30: Release v2.0, real Holo design, fixed all layout issues
Can music from the Play Music cloud be played through this?

No, because only the Google Music Player can do this.
Google hasn't released the API until now.
Awesome job! I was tired of that old Froyo look. Works great on cm 10.1
The relentless pursuit of the perfect rom
Thanks, glad you like it
I've updated the player to v1.1, mostly visually to fit Holo more.
Got rid of the old tab bar and styled the menu context icons.
Merry Christmas to all!
Awesome work!!
Great design and functionality.
I come from iOS so this is exactly what I was looking for.
I have one issue though. I use pin protection for the lockscreen, is there a way to set album art to fullscreen? So it could fully cover the lockscreen wallpaper.
Unfortunately there is no .xml for a lockscreen widget, so I suppose this is controlled in the framework of the ROM itself.
The only widget I can change in the app is the 4x1 music control widget.
What ROM are you on? Can you post a screenshot from your lockscreen with the music widget in addition?
Thanks, I have a Galaxy S II running Omega 19.1.
Here´s the screenshot.
AW: [MOD] AOSP JB Music Player Holo + Lockscreen Widget (Update v1.1)
Fantastic Work.
At last the good old MusicPlayer in new JB Style. I love it.
Only one thing under CM10 I9100G, there are the icons/buttons for playlist, shuffle and repeat not in one row.
Oh, a other small thing. Is there translation for menu possible? It appears only in English.

Works nicely with CM 10.1...addition of the lockscreen control was just what I needed.

Hmmm
As I hated the stupid german translation and like english in music apps more, I deleted the extra languages - so for my mod: no, sorry
You can easily copy the translation from original app with apktool again.
Regarding lockscreen: indeed this is controlled by framework not the app, so I can't do anything about it.
You'll need to change framework-res.apk for that.

I uninstalled MY OWN mod, why?
Look here, this is gorgeous! Searched through lots of players, this one won the battle for me:

Thanks this works great
Thanks for this mod it's a great light player, just what i was looking for. I too didn't like all the bloat in Google Play.
I was wondering if there was the possibility of one addition?
I have .nomedia in my music folder so my picture viewer doesn't load all my album art (i fell out with quickpic)
Would it be possible to have an option to ignore .nomedia?
Thanks, Cuben
Hello guys!
I've been using my z1 compact for about one week now and generally I'm pretty happy with it and with the sony version of Android 4.4.
One thing I really don't unterstand is why the sony guys didn't adapt the kitkat clock with its smart system to set the alarm and sticked to the old clock with its rollers. I downloaded a kitkat clock from the playstore but optically I like the sony version with its bright design better.
So is there a clock which serves both demands?
Did I already say that I don't know what 's wrong with the sony guys?
Hi everyone, i really miss the past days of Xperia home, when we can use the full potential of xperia theme engine change over the whole device skin was truly best customization ever, but now i don't k know why Sony killed that amazing ability from their home launcher or theme support for whole user interface, now we can just change a wallpaper and useless icons in the name of theme,
Have anyone knows method to install old Xperia home launcher with old abilities without root??
I don't wanna root my device, any solution without root??? :crying:
