Google Music lockscreen widget problem - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! Basically, the Google music widget appears in my lock screen and pushes my dashclock to left whenever I listen to music. This is really annoying because I always want to see my clock.
The worst part is that for some reason the widget is unresponsive (pressing pause or back/forward doesn't do anything).
Another user was having this problem also, but I couldn't find an answer to his q. -->

You can't do anything afaik to make the clock widget show default while listening to music. :/
As for the unresponsiveness, everything works fine on my end, must have something to do with your setup.

Alright, thanks for the info! I'll maybe try reinstalling the gapps.

Even I was facing the same problem and I searched the net for a solution but to my dismay couldnt find any. Then I figured a way out;
all you need to do is while the screen is locked, swipe left/right to the dashclock widget screen and long tap it and move it right, past the default music player widget and the stock android lock screen just before teh camera. - problem solved.

[REQ] Music Controls for Lock Screen

Hi All,
Sorry if this has been asked before, did a few searches but no luck.
I am running Oxygen 1.0.3 Froyo - Great Rom. I would like to have the basic music controls on my lock screen that are similar to the ones I used to have on OpenDesire ROM.
Could you please help me with this or point me in the right direction.

Haven't got a custom ROM myself but from what iv'e read controls should show up on lock screen as yours aren't try this before we go into apps
Pressing the play button on the headphones will start the music player and play your last song. Then once the last song you listened to begins playing you can access the music player controls on the lock screen in the usual way.

I am currently using this with Widget Locker, not sure if it will work with your Rom though.

the controls work fine, did not have any problems so far (I am on stock froyo, not rooted, using HTC music app). disappears from the lockscreen when you stop playing a title, appears when you touch the certain area on the screen (if you select the disappear option, otherwise of course its there all the time). also got nice skins as minimalistic, HTC style and so on (I am using the minimalistic skin, white controls, transparent background).
I was going to say the same thing. Though, I've noticed weird glitches if I used a widget on a homescreen and on the lock screen. Works perfect as a disappearing widget for WidgetLocker only, and looks really nice for a homescreen widget if you just want one or the other.

My Library widget no longer working right ... fix?

When I first started the nexus up, the homepage had a dynamic library widget ...ie where all of the media was scroll able (a movie section, magazine, books, and music and I could scroll through all the choices in their own categories). Now, I just see pictures of some media that I've used recently and that's it. It's ticking me off ... I even wiped my nexus and started from scratch but that dynamic my library widget return; I'm left with the static/picture only one. Is there a fix for this?
My library didn't work when I used a different home launcher like apex or nova...

I figured apex had something to do with it ... so I just wiped my nexus and started from scratch but the widget still isn't working the way it was when I first got it. I really liked that scrolling widget.
Anyone?

[Q] How do I add a widget on the main lock screen

Using the latest Paranoid Android ROM and already downloaded the Chronus App. I AM able to add a widget in the LEFT lock screen but I could not figure out how to move this widget into the MAIN one, which has the time and date already built-in. Thanks for the help!
You need to swipe down on the time/date widget in order to maximize it, then tap and hold on the widget itself, a remove icon will appear.
Thank you. Got it now.

Quick window bug(finding confirmation from others)

I realised that if I disable the stock music app, it's widget is automatically disabled and I lose the quick window widget too. That would be fine, only double tap to off no longer works on the clock widget, only the weather one.
Now if I disable the clock widget too, the weather widget's double tap to off disappears as well.
Anyone else has that prob too?
Enabling the music widget ONLY(in settings doing this also enables the music app) using TiBu solves the problem but leaves a useless and ugly music widget behind :/

Oh i've also thought of a few solutions
1. Use exposed to change the lock screen widget to simply pause/play and next and previous buttons that work with all apps
2. Modify the apk to do the same thing
3. Find the source of the bug?

I never noticed it before but I can confirm my VS980 on CleanROM behaves as you describe. I never use the knock on feature...

[Q] Note 3 kitkat remove music lockscreen

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?
