Media Controls (skip/pause/play) via Volume Buttons - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

One app that I'm missing on the 6T that I was using on the Note 9 was BxActions where I was not only able to remap the stupid Bixby button, but also the volume buttons. I want to be able to skip tracks, play/pause tracks using the volume buttons on the 6T. Does anyone have any tips?
P.S. I'm using MidnightCore module right now to change my boot animation but it only changes the intro boot, not the animation when the phone shuts down/restarts. It's still the T-Mobile logo. Any way to change that as well?

Try Button Mapper Pro

or do it in your music player
GoneMAD, Player Pro, and Rocket music players all support some kind of button overrides, probably other players too.

Thanks for the tip but I'm not trying to use another player besides PowerAmp (beta).

This is looking promising. I bought the pro version but I'm running into issues with the skip tracks options while the display is off. Which is a key feature that I need. I'm rooted and granted all the permissions that I need to give. Currently waiting for the dev to email me back to see what help I can get. Thanks for the tip.

And it's working perfectly! Thanks again, @kantjer! This app was the answer to my dreams!

Using X1 Vol key like Walkman phone

Hey guy, I've an idea.
After using SE walkman phone for years, I have some experience using it so easy to play music because of the volume key.
Now I want to map the vol key in my Xperia X1 to us it like walkman phone but I don't know how to do it.
It's like this:
-The key still active even the phone is in keylock or standby mode.
-Press up/down once to tune the system volume.
-Press and hold up/down equal to next/previous of the navigation key.
Mapping the the vol key like this make more easy to change tracks and volume while X1 is in the pocket.
This is just some idea.
very nice idea
Would not be a big job with AEBPlus in combination with MortScript. Of course depending on what Player you are using...
I only fear that it won't be possible to send the dvice to standby and still have this funktionality...
this is what i expected of the x1 before buying it, because even non-walkman phones SE have this feature, it would be great to know if this function is possible on th x1??
I think it might be possible because I've found out that Pocket Music 5.0 can mapped some key in the background use.

Thanks for this idea, i have now got a similar app called pocketplayer 4 it allows HW button mapping (However NOT the vol up/down, x panel, pick up/put down call, and camera buttons.....ONLY the d-pad and softkeys can be mapped), also the the app allows a button for sleep mode and and timed sleep mode option... so the music can be controlled with the screen off in you pocket

Is it possible to map the button on the headset which comes with the phone to control play/stop??
Yes, it is! click the link below and read carefully

This would be nice, I loved the way my old Walkman phone works. Simply skip a song or turn the music up.
If someone can map the X1buttons to do this I'm very happy. The X1 now as a mp3-player sucks.

[Q] Onscreen volume control?

Is there an onscreen volume control hidden somewhere? I would rather use it than the rocker button.
In the music player there is.

Yea, I dont use the stock music player since it doesnt work with last.fm.
Try the app: Sound Manager

Default music player and hardward buttons

I wonder is there anyway to map the L/R button in the default music player as last song/next song.
If not, is there anyany to change the music player launch button in "CLOCK" to another software eg:winamp or poweramp?
Thanks in advance
Personally I wouldn't map those buttons.
If you've got it in your pocket your going to be getting a few track skips.
i want to use it while driving, cos It is hard to skip songs while on the dock.
TBH i was thinking the same thing. Would be lovely if it turned out doable.
I wish. A universal key mapper would do wonders

That would be awesome. It would also fix the Making R the camera trigger problem.
solution found:
Found it in the market , need to be rooted thou
- button remapper ($AUD1.00)
remap the HARDWARE L or R buttons to Next media or Dpad center
to skip songs and to use as shutter button
the only problem is that if you map it as Dpad center, some games control doesnt work properly if the game does not allow you to config the buttons. Map as media next seems fine.
I can now skip song while using the dock

I'm rooted but the option to download is greyed out and says it's not compatible with my device. I'm on an R800a. Anybody else seeing this?

[Q] Android App Controlling Music Playback

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.
