[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.

Xperia Music Player Widget

Hello everyone
Can someone tell me where i might get the stock arc music player widget? I guess I somehow deletet it :-(

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

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

[Q] Which ROMs?

Hi guys.
My Nexus 4 is arriving and I'm for sure not gonna run stock. I've been doing some research but yet decided which custom ROMs to try (too many).
I'd like a ROM with these features:
- quick settings mod
- advanced power menu
- volume rocker wake
- safe headset volume
- expandable/expanded volume panel
- expanded desktop
- t9 dialer
I've found only Xylon that has all those features. Which other ROMs have you guys tried that also have those all (or one or two less, if so please specify)?
Thanks a lot in advance

cm10.1.... all

I think ParanoidAndroid has all those

What is expanded desktop exactly? Like a larger grid size? I think just about any custom rom has these. I like CM personally with Banks' gapps.

It hides the navigation bar and comes in handy when we play games, they run in complete fullscreen. I don't wanna mispress those navbar button while play games such as fruit ninja
Edit: a video to demonstrate. Things get started at around 1:30

I have one more question: can we have access to clock app (or any user-defined app) when pressing the clock above the notification/quicksettings in PA? And quick reply?

I'm on AOKP. It has all those options except expanded desktop. You can hide nav. buttons though.

It goes into date settings which is pretty stupid. I didn't even know you can tap it. I'm gonna change it to the real clock thanks for the idea. And yes it has quick reply.

Ahhh I see now. Never tried it, seems like it would be a hassle to toggle it off/on for everyday use. Maybe it's just the way someone uses their device.

[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?

3rd party launcher with transparent nav bar ?? Is it possible ?

Hello all- I just got my G6 ( Asia dual sim model) and love it but am pissed to find out that when using Nova pro and other launchers the navigation bar does not go transparent even when the transparent settings are ticked.
All other mobiles do it but this one does not.
The option for "color" in my home keys settings is greyed out also.
Any one have any clues to help me use this full screen to its beautiful potential ?
Cheers LL

That's really odd, because I'm using Nova Pro and transparent NAV bar works just fine. Have you got a theme loaded that might be causing it to not work?
[Edit: looks like my screen capture doesn't even show the NAV bar. I assure you that mine is transparent.]

Wow. Thats strange, Im gonna have to try and change the theme perhaps or maybe ill delete and reinstall Nova.
Thanks though sinister.. Now i know there is hope ?
Cheers LL
Sinister.... One question though, what version G6 are you using and are you rooted ? I though me not being rooted may be another cause.

Nope, fully stock, unrooted Canadian version on H87310d.
I'd recommend also looking at your dock settings to make sure your dock background isn't drawing over the NAV bar. Although it looks really nice and consistent, disabling it should help you troubleshoot better
Good luck!

No issue here either. Nova is transparent for me. Also, there isn't root for the G6 yet. Attached a screenshot

You have to go into app scaling and select 18:9 for Nova Launcher. Then you will have a transparent nav bar.

AHA- Got it. It seems that all I needed to do was update my version of Nova. Not sure why it didnt work on my old version but its all good now, time to drool over this beautiful screen.
Thanks to all you guys for your help :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
