I often listen to music while I'm doing something else on my Touch Pro.
I wish I had an Icon on the title bar, which, when clicked, will expose a simple music control interface....Next, Previous, Pause/Play, Mute
Does this exist already?
It is maybe a bit too much, but look at WkTask. It gives you a taskmanager visible with any application which is not full screen. With one click you get the music player into the foreground and with an other click you minimize it back.
I was hoping to NOT have to leave my current app to do it.
I have QuickMenu mapped to my home key...so I'm current two clicks away.
I was just hoping for something hwere I didn't have to leave my current app to control the music.
Conduit's PocketPlayer does what you're looking for. However, it is not a free app. (Though, it is really good.)

That's right! This can be enabled via Menu-->More-->Options-->Advanced-->Interface-->Show notification icon

Nice.
Canyou put a stop button and the internet connection on either side of the play button?Useful functions, but you get to keep it symmetrical. It goes well with the S2U2 theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341926
My personal favourite for black themes
It looks good. As I don't use the screen buttons (I always use the Dpad in Media Player) I made one as well! Take a look at the Zune-inspired black theme here:

I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.
Sorry if I'm out of order mentioning it here.
I cant switch off the screen without switching off WMP. Used to get away with it when I had the Alpine. Damned if you do,damned if you dont.I got play/pause on the action button,so I need 'stop' on the screen. Does the screen display playback time?

I use the down button to reduce the volume, but the hold down (pressed for a bit longer) set to Toggle Screen, which turns the screen off.

Did you do that using the WMP settings? Sounds like a good idea.
Yes, settings, buttons.
Hi people
Although I have been a thorough reader of the forums, I am posting today after a long time, after having spent days looking for what I need and not finding it. Appreciate your help with the follows:
1. I need an app launcher/dock/shortcuts widget on the home screen that lets me access some of the apps/activities from the homescreen without taking a lot of space (something like the Home++ launchbar at the bottom). however I am not looking to change the desktop entirely (so no home++, pandahome etc), and apps like bar control, ultimatefaves and bettercut don't do it for me simply because they do not group the things I want together in one place (i.e. under one button or dock or bar). Anything else I can try?
2. I am looking for a way to launch the call log by pressing the phone widget, and not the dial pad. Is there a way around this?
3. Am also looking to somehow change the lock screen mute slider to change to a vibrate-only slider instead...any clues?
4. I am looking for a list of wallpaper sites that have wallpapers for N1 in the correct aspect ratio and resolution so when applied they do not lose their sharpness
5. In better cut, whatever icon pack I use it cuts the icon image when placing it on the phone home pages...resolution needed please.
6. Looking for a full screen caller image when I get a call or make a call, preferably of high quality.
7. For some odd reason, google listen is not appearing in my market, can someone share the apk link here please?
Apologies for so many Qs, I have no been able to find solutions to these till now, would really appreciate any help.
Regards
bump....people help pls
1- You can add a "folder" on your home screen, rename it and drop inside whatever apps u want
7. Just search for "Listen" it's the first hit. Or serach for "Google Listen" and it's the second hit.
1 - download apps organizer, very nice app, similar to adding folders but looks a lot cleaner and is very easy to organize.
4 - i use socwall.com, if you sort by widescreen they all look great on my Nexus.
5 - they fixed this in the last bettercut update, all mine look great now, check the market to see if you have an update available.
3 - silent mode jammer in the market will make the lockscreen toggle vibrate instead of silent.
thanks people...anything else from anyone?
Hey there
is there an app, a switch, a hack to have the music controls in the notification area? it'd be superb not having to leave apps if i want to skip a song
(if I could assign hard buttons like long pressing the volume rocker to skip a song, it's be even more great)
thanks a lot!
+1
i'd even be happy to have something similar to sense with controls on the lock screen
ja, the lock screen controls are a good start and I won't miss them, but having those kinda controls whilst surfing etc would be just grand
Would also like the music controls on the lock screen for Froyo. That would be sweet.

Pav
For controls on the lock screen, try an alternative music player from the market by searching "Cubed", it's shown as a "3" in the market. Really great and fast.
Edit: On second thought, I'm not 100% sure it does have controls on lock screen have to verify!
Edit2: Ok, it does indeed have controls on Lock Screen.
yes, cubed has controls in the lockscreen
Thanks guys, just treid 3 cubed, good player but flaky when you tried and bring up the lock screen controls after sleep. Using OpenDesire v2.1
Cubed makes a "second" Lockscreen, this is not the best way.
I like the ³ but the lockscreen option is ....

Question for the Devs,
I have one thing that bugs me about Android: taking a ton of steps to get to places, so I had an idea, but I'm not sure if it's possible. It's a two - parter:
1) Is it possible, to put into the notification area a scrollable list of your currently running applications, or possible your most used apps? Kinda like holding down home, but it's not the same.
2) I had a program on my jailbroken iCrap back in the day: sbsettings. LOVED this program, gave me quick access to just about anything. It's kinda like the power widget, but it was accessible from sliding your finger accross the top of the screen from anywhere. Imagine having the power control widget in your notification area.
Are the two above possible, or are there limitations to what the notification bar can do. Obviously, I'd want it so that if I hit "clear" they'd still remain there. Also, I don't want just a link poining me somewhere else, I want the action to occur right from the notification screen:
I searched and searched but cannot find. Have I missed something?
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but I figured it does have to do with development, so there ya go... Thanks in advance!
For #2 use smartbar with quick settings checked in settings for notification. It might also have #1 but I don't really poke too much around in the settings.
I use Quick Settings, which will put a notification in the pull down task bar and you have access to a number of system settings.
jkAppSwitchEX works great as a sort of AltTab type thing and you can pin it to a long press of the search button. It also can be used as a task killer and can have a list of your favorite/most used apps for easy launch (and has a recent apps list). Plus, it can put a notification in the pull down task bar. There's also a free version on the market which just shows running apps.
I also believe Folder Organizer will put apps in the task bar, I have the lite version which doesn't do that (I don't think), but I don't really need it for that, so the lite version is fine for my needs.
I've also tried SmartBar, and it does have that functionality of swiping the screen and having access to programs, etc. But it wasn't what I had been looking for when I tested it, but worth checking out.
*off topic a bit*
Sorry but it's not Qeustion it is Question
Has anyone found a way to add the power control toggles to the notification screen as seen on the Galaxy S?
if your rooted cyanogen mod have the settings in the notification like the galaxy s or you can use a app call quickdesk you can launch quickdesk by long pressing the search button or double tap the home button in any program it has this thing call quick pannel that shows you your recently used apps and the apps thats running its really slick you can also swype up on any running apps to close them. theres also another app call itchingthumb that basically do the same thing but i like the simplicity of quickdesk more you should check them out. Theres also another app call smart task bar that can also do those thing it as the most options all you have to do is swype your finger at the side of your phone to launch it. Feel free to ask me any questions about them and I'll try to answer them. Oh yeah theres another one call power strip.
I found this thread and applied the mod to the HD ROM that I'm using, it works well.

EDIT: So I wrote this post to help others and show what I've done to make the unit look amazing, but seems I can't post pics because I'm new. Not entirely sure I can be bothered now, which is a shame because the launcher looks great.
So I bought the Seicane unit for my 2015 Subaru Outback
First impressions
Sound quality was actually very good, as good as my premium audio that came with the car.
Very quick to boot, basically it's up and running by the time I leave my street
The 3.5G usb modem that came with it didn't work so I ditched that straight away
The interface SUCKS
The screen is bright and clear and capacitive touch is great
The unit also looks 100% stock with no external branding.
4 months on
I found I still hated the interface so I have changed it so it looks like this
Launcher https:// ibb.co/fx5Bfz
App Drawer https:// ibb.co/fRPRDK
I used NOVA Prime launcher with the following tweaks
5 icons wide and 2 icons high for launcher page
Hid the status bar
Swipe up for app drawer
5 icons wide and 2 icons high for launcher
Adjusted text size to suit (I think it's the largest available)
Renamed certain apps to fit in the launcher better
I also installed the Simplicon Icon Pack from Google Play and used this to replace all icons that don't look quite right including the default radio app. Notice they are all circles now.
I also mapped the steering wheel controls to the following
The only button that is out of place is that the Answer button is both an Answer and Hangup Button, this makes sense to me as you can't hangup without first answering.
The hangup button is now a way to launch Android Auto.
Steering Controls https:// ibb.co/mwV2Lz[/IMG]
Android Auto
I have installed android auto natively on the stereo, this means no phone connection is required, it also unfortunately means phone calls can't be made from within the app. Fortunately tapping the answer call button on the steering wheel brings up the native dialler. So it's not too immersion breaking, but it is one of my only gripes.
Sound Quality
Sound quality is great....except when Google maps/Google assistant or Android auto is giving navigation directions, for some reason it feels like the audio is being affected by these apps and the quality goes downhill. Often times hitting the voice assistant button and then quickly hitting back can get things back to normal, but there is definitely a problem here. But as these stereo's are in a grey area of support nothing is being done about it.
I think overall I'm extremely happy with where things are, my next goal is to build a very simple app that once open begins streaming audio from a predefined source. My goal is to install this app x8 or so, create a custom icon for each radio station in my area and put these all on page 2 of the launcher. The plan is I will be able to scroll one page to the right and have all 10 of my favourite radio stations with their logos as the icons, I want to be able to press any station once and have the app launch and start streaming until I press stop, or another app takes over, whether that be another streaming app or my spotify library.
I think it's now a massive improvement from the default setup and worked perfectly for MY needs.
Here it is installed in the car https: //ibb.co/fwPe0z
