[IDEA] Next/Prev track by volume keys - G1 Android Development

I often listen to the music while walking, and to change track i need to take device out of pocket, then press "menu" and stuff. Would be great if someone change original lockscreen so if i press and hold "volume UP" it goes to the next track. (vol. down - prev. track). Sorry for poor english.

You can also double press button on your headphones - it is "next track" . If only once - play/pause

I wish i can my bluetooth headset have only 3 buttons: answer call and same volUP volDOWN

You can get full function BT stereo headsets for as low as $20 maybe cheaper. Mine works great with dwang as far as volume and track foward and back, with CM when I hit anything on the headset it would open up all kinds of apps.

Using Smartskey to Enable Speaker On in a Call

Hi All,
Is there a way to edit Smartskey to allow using one of the hardware buttons to trigger the Speaker On/Off option?
Thanks!
Speakerphone?
It's already hardware button binded to press and hold green call button, during a call. Handy in the car when your bluetooth headset needs a charge, quick press the green button to answer, then immediately press and hold to switch to speaker.
Or do you mean use the speaker for other purposes?

Tried it on my ETEN X500 and it places the call on hold instead.
In addition I'd like to be able to switch to speakerphone whenever, meaning
When I receive a call or place a call myself.
Not sure about Eten phone, but HTC's phone (most if not all), you will have to press and *keep holding* the green button long enough (while on call). Pressing it will give you 'Call on Hold'. Alt, you try PhoneAlarm .. or PocketPhone Zen (something like that) that gives you profiles (like Nokia phone) that enables you to have the option of getting speaker phone automatically upon receiving.

How to configure the hansfree button

Hello....is there any way of changing the action when the handsfree button is pressed or even long pressed & doublepressed
yes, same question. Extremely annoying how easy it is to accidently double tap the button and call the last person.
any suggestions anyone ??? maybe a registry edit or anything..... still waiting
The handsfree button has the same function as the call button typically.
double press -> redial (same as call button on phone)
long press ->
a) on some ROMs simply doesn't work. Guess it depends on driver version
b) if workiing, you can set the function in Buttons, gets same function as long press Button 1 (left phone button)
isnt there a cab or file cause its really annoying and would love to set it to next song or previous song
bump any one some one help its really annoying randomly calling someone
Not sure but;
Check in your registry in HKCU\Control Panel for your headset settings
Search for 'audio manager headset tool' on forums.
Try this cab
Havent tested it my self yet

Topaz Keyboard Controller;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821
What is it ?
It's a solution that allows you to remap ALL keys of your device.
Any key (yeah, i mean ANY, including Home and Back keys) can be reassigned to perform desired actions.
Have fun,
Senax
Thanks for replying ... I already have Topaz Keyboard Controller installed but it does not let you configure the (wired) handsfee button.. or if there is a way then pls help !!!

[Resolved] Scroll pages on your android phone with headphones' volume up/down button

Hello guys!
Is there any way to scroll pages on my samsung galaxy s3 (cyanogen 4.2.2) using volume up/down buttons on my headset?
I have several readers which support scrolling(next page/previous page) via volume up/down buttons on the phone.
I installed Headset Droid app and tried to change my middle button to be volume up button(I am going to purchase two buttons headphones soon) but it doesnt work in readers. Instead of changing page in my reader, button changes the sound.
Probably there is a way to remap my middle button and volume button this way: volume button on my phone to be middle button on my headset and my middle button to be volume up button on my phone. I mean is there any program to remap and change places of buttons?
Sorry for bad explanation, but I hope you understood me.
P.S. So as you can see all I need is to control any reader without touching my phone screen. I will be honest: it could save my ass on exams I'd be glad for any help and could pay for it if you allow me(paypal, sorry but have no bitcoins((((
P.S. 2 Thank You!
!!!
SOLUTION
All you need is a pro version of Moon+ Reader: open the book, go settings, control settings(dont know right translation)) then headset button. (choose what you need)

[Q] Headphone volume controls

So i have an old pair of headphones from my s3. the play/pause button works fine with the M8, but the volume up/down buttons only skip tracks and not change the volume. i can skip tracks with double/triple pressing the play button. would really like to see something control the media volume with my headphone buttons.
im sure it is... but the xda post i found for it doesn't address what i posted about.

I even purchased the oem headphones on HTC's site that says compatible with M8, still no dice. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
i have the ones that came with the M8 and i noticed only one button. i just dont get why they need to go in their own direction and remove buttons instead of comply with the current accessories and just add the features. i run with my phone in an armband so a one button remote has limited usefulness.
I am in the exact same boat...When I work out the phone is an athletic armband so I don't really have access to it during my workout. I use these headphones: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005I2IVRO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I can play/pause by pressing the middle button once and skip tracks forward by double tapping the middle. However, the volume up and volume down buttons are do not function period. Very annoying and hoping there's an Xposed module or an app that can make them work.

thats the functionality i have now with any headphones i use.
also FYI, you can go back a track by triple pressing

control playback with stock earphones buttons

can one skip a track using the buttons on the earphones that came with the phone?
I remember on my good old Blackberry I could double press the middle button and it would move to the next track or radio station, single press will play/pause, long press volume up button would fast-forward a track.
On LG headset I can only play/pause and increase/decrease volume - this sucks.
Anyone had better luck with it?
mine works, double tap to skip, even in Spotify.
do you double tap quickly?
