Have any of you guys found a way to control music from the lock screen, I have managed to install MIUI music player and can install a widget onto the lockscreen (using widget unlocker) however it's not the nicest looking in the world.
Any way of making it more 'generic', like using the default music player with control on the lockscreen for example (you can't add this widget to the widget unlocker homescreen).
Thanks guys.
poweramp has the option to have a lock screen widget. Widget looks nice, and it's probably the best music player available.
I'll give it a go, thanks!
EDIT: Tried, works very well, many thanks!
Does poweramp work with spotify?

I'm using the WinAmp music player on my phone, which have the option of a lock screen player - not tried any of the other ones, but it seems to work just fine.

So I just noticed there is no calendar or music widget? What do you use or is there a way to get them?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant.
You get them the same way you get other stuff you don't have. You get them off the Internet/Android Market.
I use MusicMod for my music widget. I don't use calendars so perhaps someone else can help you there.
I don't use a music one because it's built in to the lockscreen if I'm listening to something. For calendar I use android agenda widget

Here is the stock 2.1 music player with widget. Just transfer the apk to your sd and install.
I use the widget on the lock screen. Why clutter up your home screen + waste resources when there's one already built in to the lock screen?
Another great option is "cubed" in the market. Best player IMO, but there's nothing wrong with the stock one.
Calendar widget, I don't know. Never really thought about it! I agree, it should have one built in.
For a good calender widget find "jorte" has tons of options.
Catchin' the VIBE on the XDApp
The daily briefing can be used as a calendar widget if you use google calendar.

How do you get the music widget on the lock screen?
Pure Music Widget and Pure Grid Calendar are both great! Pure Grid is like the HTC Sense calendar.

It should come stock on the vibrant open your music player and start playing a song then when you lock the screen it will be on the lock screen when you go to unlock it.
I also use the controller in the lock screen. Instead of a widget they put the quick controls in the notification put-down. You just have to open the music player initially.
I use the Calendar Clock widget. It's ok.
doubleTwist is a good player and has a widget.
when my phone is unlocked i drag down the notifications panel when music is playing and there are music controls. also in lock screen mode you can drag down a little window pane while locked with music controls (phone remains locked).
The player in the notification menu while the phone is locked is no good for people who like to lock their phone with a pattern. doubleTwist has a good widget, but only pause and skip forwards buttons, no skip back. And I have as yet been unable to make the widget background transparent...
Try the app called 3, search Filipe Abrantes in the market.... It has a pretty sweet widget and its a bad asz music app...
i just put the aosp magic rom on my phone. and i wanted to know if there was a lockscreen or something i could flash that would put music controlls on my lockscreen mainly for pandora...and for the stock music player.
thanks..
Get an app called widget locker its two bucks n u can put pandora and music widgets on lockscreen.

Hello everyone
Can someone tell me where i might get the stock arc music player widget? I guess I somehow deletet it :-(
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
i didn't think there was a way to delete it, just press and hold on your home screen then select widgets then scroll down to Music Player
Unfortunately I can't seem to put it back... I don't find it anymore in the widget list.
You see that music player widget on all promo shots of the arc and it is also included when you the first time start up your arc (and don't modify it like i did ....)
Did you change the home launcher? If so you can only use it on the stock home

@IntMD
Yep, changed the launcher to GO LAUNCHER. well I guess that's the price I had to pay for switching launchers
is it possible to get this widget for cyanogen or miui?
Nope. This only works on the stock home launcher.
same thing happened to me, download widgetsoid and you can make your own music player widget
I wanted to stay on 4.3 but stupid update popup kept popping up and i accidentally hit it today
so now I have updated to 4.4 and i absolutely hate the new lockscreen when I listen to music. Is there any way i can revert back to the old music widget or at least turn off that new feature?
Thanks
Yeah, me too, I like the previous lockscreen too.
I can still browse and choose the songs in the list when i am in the lockscreen.
Someone help, anyway to bring it back?

Yea I like the old music widget where you can choose what song you want and turn shuffle/repeat on and off. With this new lockscreen all these features are removed as well as I find the album art really disturbing.
I can disable music player lockscreen completely in N7player (or use the app-version lockscreen)...
Thus enabling me to use a lockscreen replacer or the widget.
Maybe look into using a different music player than stock?

Changing from stock player won't necessarily change the lockscreen, as the new style is applied to any music player that supports native lockscreen controls, like Spotify.

I know. I didn't say it did. I said you could disable music lockscreen completely or force the build-in one.
Screenshots attached so you see what I mean. All three with music playing, not paused.

I tried changing to Player Pro, but the control became disable on the lock screen. As in i can pause or forward to next track from the lockscreen.
Hoping to find a solution while still using the stock player.
really liked the previous lockscreen/ player so much better before kit kat, can just swipe downwards to see the songs in the floder/ playlis while in lockscreen.

yea i really like that feature.
And also with N7player do you need to have root to remove the lockscreen?

Hello,
Is it possible to remove the ugly grey Music widget from lockscreen? And only use the other one (which I think comes with the google play player)?
Nice -> https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-...cnRgtigs/w500-h823-no/2014-10-07-17-02-14.png
Ugly -> https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-...SbP62moA/w500-h823-no/2014-10-07-17-01-12.png
Using only google player is not an option because I like the folder browser in Music app
Any ideas?
Using G2 - Stock/Not rooted (Kitkat)
Regards,
Kiril
Its probably a widget, just disable widgets on lockscreen settings.
No, i dont think that solve it, i also have this issue, i dont want my lockscreen wallpaper changed to album art while playing music, any tricks to disable it?
