Hi, my earphones don't have in line controls and I have been looking for a way to be able to skip tracks with the volume buttons. I have an 870DS so can't root and have tried a couple of apps including Frinky but cannot get any of them to perform the next track function.
Anyone have a method or app that will do this?

Might there be a registry tweak for the number of steps for the volume button? I generally listen to music with the screen off. If I want to change the volume using the physical button I am limited to 5 steps. However, the volume control for the HTC player has 15 steps; much more usable. Is there any way to change the button increments to 15?
Thanks in advance.

It looks like if you go to the registry you can change where you want the small volume control used in music player to appear and add it to other apps. So hopefully someone will be able to figure out a way to make it appear all the time.
Is there a way to change the volume that a track is playing at without using the hard buttons on the side?
When the phone is docked (cassette/paper clip etc) the buttons end up at the bottom edge, forcing you lift the phone, change the volume and place it back.
I know this can be done via Settings, widgets etc, but shouldn't it be possible in the "music player" ?
Anyone have info about the Nemo player? (from the Liquid)
Is there a way for the volume keys to only control media volume instead of its default behavior which sets ringer volume?

When you're in a media app, the volume keys should control media volume.
Of course, I know that. But I want to control media volume at all times. There is no ringtone to adjust.
Is there an app I can use to remap the keys or something?
I would like this myself.

Keysmod will let you remap the volume keys but I'm not sure that will do what you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965023
You might want to check out Volume Control, which overlays a touch bar on your screen that can control media volume. There are several apps on Android Market called Volume Control; you want the one by BigRedPepper.

Doesn't look like it does, someone in the thread wants to do the same thing as I do.

Thanks, but that isn't something I'm interested in.
I'm interested in this as well.
thereddog, have you had any success remapping the volume keys to control media volume by default instead of ringer volume?
hey guys, I use to use an app that allowed me to use the volume rocker buttons to control my music playback. Basically, the way it works is you quickly double click the volume up rocker to skip a song and double click the down volume rocker to replay/go back. You can use this functionality with the screen off and if you press the volume rocker at "normal" speed, it would control volume as usual. I used to use the app but since I switched to my N4, I somehow lost it and can't remember the name of the app in the play store. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
I was looking for one also and came across one called "Pocket Skip Track" on the play store.
Works great on stock 4.3 aosp. Hope that's what you were looking for!

If you are rooted, you can try any rom, all the roms here have that feature to change the song by long pressing the volume up button and play the previous song by pressing the volume down button.. I am on Slimbean and it has this feature so no need to waste the valuable space of our phones when you can get the feature in the rom itself.

Hello,
I have searched on the forum but there is talk of changes only on deodexed Rom.
I would like to have the ability to change song with volume keys on stock (rooted) rom. I did it with cyanogen on my s3 but on the nexus is not possible.
My second question is always about changing songs.
I bought a Philips shb9100 bluetooth headset. On many phones you can go forward or backward by pressing the volume knob once, returning to its normal position and then immediately hold down the wheel again. This does not work on the nexus 5.
Does anyone know an app that can be useful?
Thanks to all,
xSl

try Frinky Music Controller (No root required)
I always wanted to have an app which controls music with volume keys but i could not find any which does it smoothly. So I developed my own . My app Frinky Music Controller on GOOGLE PLAY controls music with volume keys and smartly controls music volume. It supports more 200 music players and Spotify. It works on both rooted and non-rooted phones.
Some features of the app are :
Next Song -- press volume UP key single time to play next song.
Previous Song -- use volume DOWN key to play previous song.
Control Volume -- when we want to control music volume , most of the time we press volume key more than once (next time when you adjust volume , feel it) . So the app uses this tendency of users as a function to control music volume i.e press volume key more than once to adjust volume.
Stop song -- Oh! you play music in your class in absence of professor here comes the professor .... turn off the music quickly by UP+UP+DOWN+DOWN key action (it takes less time than muting the volume and unlocking the screen .
Sleep Timer : Single sleep timer for all your music apps.
Manually control app's service : well to understand this feature you will have to download the app.
It consumes very less amount of ram.
