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?

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...
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.
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.
Is it possible to add custom shortcuts or otherwise change what appears in the S-view window? For example, I'd like the music widget to control google play music, which it does not appear to do.

I would love to be able to do this also for the same reason.
I'm looking for this as well. I saw a mod for the s4 that allowed this so I'm hoping someone will make one for the GN3.

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?

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?
