Hi, I am currently using Shuttle+ music player. Is there any way I can get it to recognize the next and previous buttons on my steering wheel? If not, can anyone suggest a music player app that can do this?
There is a default music player on my android headunit, but I really dont like its UI, so I am trying to look for other alternatives.

Do you have a Rockchip cpu?
If so, download this from the playstore.. for the dualcore cpu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.petrows.mtcservice&hl=nl
For the quadcore cpu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ws.petro.rk3188.headunit&hl=nl
It's a app for the Ownice C200 quadcore cpu, but you can try it.
Disable your default player... Go to settings, go to advanced settings, select apps, go to everything (swipe to the left), look for the the factory radio app and music player app. klik on it, select disable, klik on ok. the factory app won't start up again.
After that you can handle tracks with Jetaudio or Poweramp from you're steeringwheel.
Good luck.
Thank you. I'll try your suggestion. I'm not sure what cpu my headunit came in with. I just got it last weekend. I'll try to find some more info about it.

You can install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuid.cpu_z&hl=nl
Hi again, unfortunately the apps you suggested didn't work. I'm posting a CPU-Z screenshot of my headunit.
Tested and MediaMonkey works on mapped controls.
EDIT: sometimes in options you need to enable Always react on Controls.
Poweramp, Hiby Music, PlayerPro...

Is there a way to stop the built in cm music player to NOT play when it connects to BT audio?

Late reply, but here are a couple options that might help, depending on your needs:
Personally, I want Google Play Music to auto-play when I start the car, and I don't use Apollo at all. So in settings - apps - all - Apollo, I simply disabled it. Now GPM takes over.
If you don't want ANY music to happen over the BT car link, but you do want phone, (for me) it works to go to the details settings screen of the BT pairing and disable Music Profile while leaving Phone.
If your question is just how to disable auto-play, then I don't know how to help, sorry.
I have a Joying head unit, RK3066 based, 4.4.4, I am wondering if there is a way to replace the stock music player, and have it work like stock.
I have tried Poweramp (something better?), but it only works on a hard boot, I have my unit set to sleep for 2 hours before doing full shutdown, so on short trips, poweramp opens, but I have to reach over and hit play, also it starts at the beginning of the track, sometimes I listen to hours long audio tracks, and thats not nice.
I have tried xposedMTC, but it does not help.
The stock music player obviously restarts where you left off, no matter what - is there a way to emulate that stock behavior on a better app?
If the unit was shutdown completely I don't think there's a way to make PowerAmp resume where it was. This would be a behavior inherent to PowerAmp and I doubt it could be modified, but if you find a way please post it here as I'm also interested in the same.
Stock music player
Anybody has a solution for this? I have exactly the same problem. I know that I can use different app but this one is responding to my steering wheel controls
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------
Or maybe someone know an app which can be controlled from steering wheel buttons and also have little better organized viewing of audio file which can be sorted by artist..... an folders
autostart

just install "autostart" app on playstore and set autoboot "music player" that you want to boot up with additional setting like time to boot up and other, and for poweramp, if you like it to autoplay once it run, just go to poweramp setting --->audio--->audio focus-->select "resume on start". it will auto play once poweramp run.
I use PowerAmp as well I paid for it some time ago and I use it in this unit also there is a app you can use which will allow you to use your steering wheel controls 4 power amp it is called "head unit" it works great, and it is free
With my back to the rise I'll make my stand

Thanks for the share but it doesn't work for my HU. It still go back to the stock radio/music everytime I startup my car.
same issue , how can we use steering wheel control to change track on 3rd party apps , it works fine with stock mp3 player which is very raw
Poweramp works for bluetooth streaming?
Hello my androids,
Does anyone of you know how i can use spotify as the default music player? Like it will start up when i start my car, just like what the default music player does.
Thanks!

Spotify won't do that. If you dont have a data connection, Spotify takes several clicks to start. Which is why I am going back to Google Play Music. GPM will start from the last part of the song you were on like an old cd player would.
if you do not have a data connection at start (i have Spotify Premium and my songs downloaded), I have to click on Spotify, wait for it to say i have no data connection, then click on my library, then click on playlists, then click on the playlist i want, then click the shuffle button

Thx for the reply man:good:! Yea i do the same as you do, guess nothing to do about that then, would be grate if this would be possible some day.
I just got the new Joying 2GB RAM, Intel units, mine is the 8 inch. So i have currently gone back to Google Play Music. I also have the paid plan there. so far it works great.
I start a playlist, drive, park, turn off the Jeep. Come back to the Jeep, start the Jeep, and when the unit comes back on, as soon as it recognizes the external storage, it pops up GPM and has the song I was listening to on the screen, I just have to press the Play button.
As an added bonus, Google Play Music allows you to assign a Playlist to a Widget. For example, say I have a playlist called "Jeep Beats", then I can go to the Widget section, find the one for GPM, and when I put it on the homescreen it pops up asking me what playlist to assign it to, and i pick Jeep Beats.
later on, be it an hour or a week, I get in the Jeep, on the home screen press my Jeep Beats widget and it opens up Google Play Music right to that Playlist.
double added bonus, GPM does not restrict your number of downloads like Spotify. well they do, but it is like 50k or something, whereas Spotify has 3,333.
But i love my Spotify
Subscribed, interested in this as well!
You can set the default navigation app (at least on my Joying), would be great to have something similar for the music/radio apps.

Hi Mike,
I know this is from an old thread but I have noticed you have many posts in the head unit section and was hoping you could help.
I have an unbranded 4.4.4 headunit and I was wondering if it was possible to set GPM or any other music app as my default player as you have described in the post and if so what steps would I have to follow.
Thank you very much!
What do you mean by Default? I just have the app on my home screen

I mean, is there any way to make it that it opens automatically instead of the original music player on startup?

With Gustdens no-kill key-mod you can add it to the laucher.sh to make it (re)start when the unit comes back from sleep.
Note that there is no November version yet. The versions go to and including the September ROM.

Thanks, I havent done any modding to my unit yet. Could you point me to a thread that explains the rooting process.

sorry must've missed that. Does gusteng's mod support the 4.4 devices too. From what it looked like it was only for 5.1 and above?

No, they do not. I was so under the impression that you were on a joying that I forgot to look.
I know this topic is a little weird, but hear me out:
I just bought a no name car android unit and installed Launcher AG.
The problem is, each time I open the stock media streaming app (which streams the media from my phone to the car), it opens the stock phone app instead of the streaming app.
When I check the media streaming actual app info, I can see it is part of the stock phone app. So my guess is that the stock launcher has a shortcut to part of the phone app, and that is the streaming app.
My question is how can I still stream media from my phone using a different launcher?
Is there a third part app which could replace the media streaming app?
I hope I made myself clear. Waiting anxiously for your input.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Try FCC Car Launcher

I have this exact same problem with my Joying unit. Music streaming only works with the stock launchers for me.

I've tried a few options and nothing works properly. You can force it to open by using an app to launch the streaming activity but recreating the shortcut for it still launches the phone
Hi peeps,
I got my new MTCE MX2 PX5 device up and running. All is well apart from the fact that the musicplayer won't recognise my m3u files. My S160 did w/o problems. Is this normal, or is the px5 supposed to work with m3u files as well?
Thanks!

m3u is just a playlist file. If you need to access these just download a player that supports them. Mortplayer or PowerAmp seem to be the best choices
It is not that easy. The music player needs to support the way these units shut down. PowerAmp is a nice app but it can't cope with the sudden shut down. The built in music player is able to save the last playing position and resume after reboot.
Alright, alright, I admit it, it can be easy. The Hal9k ROM gives you the possibility to not close the app while in sleep. Also you can re-map the PX5 to use PowerAmp as a replacement of the stock musicplayer. Apparently the PowerAmp developers are aware of this HU specific behaviour. In the PowerAmp forum there is a post that the HU seem to send a stop command instead of a pause when shutting down. Hence causing PowerAmp to start the song from the beginning.
Also I found that I switch between the DAB app and PowerAmp by using the HW buttons on the radio, PA will not resume the last played song but stay in pause. This can be solved by using the manage app setting in the Hal9k mod and disallow PA and DAB app to run in parallel.
