I think this would be useful for a lot of people. I am looking for an app that will let me remap my volume up and down hard buttons BUT will also let me use long presses to keep the volume controls, or vice versa. That way you can remap the buttons while retaining the initial features.
OR, is there an app (that works in Froyo) which can give you volume controls within most apps?
i would like to know this also.
Is there such an app?
Hello all. I was perusing the nexus s and nexus s 4g forums and was interested when I came upon their oxygen rom. It offers the ability to skip songs with the volume rocker. Is anyone willing to try and get this working for gummy? I am willing to donate to anyone willing to try. It would also be cool if we could get music controls on the lock screen. Thanks to all the hard working devs and themers.
The first one would be possible for one of the devs to do. The second would require a whole new lockscreen & lots of coding, plus all of the themes would have to be updated with the new stuff.

Agile Lock + PowerAMP = music controls on the lockscreen. They just updated Agile so you can now disable your lockscreen without disabling your power button menu but it's a little glitchy, the dev does promise to release a new version every week as he is still trying to fix it up.
Also, why would you want the volume rocker to skip songs? I would prefer the volume rocker to control volume and use the search/back keys to skip through songs, just me though.

On the Droid 1 roms I used that had volume button music controls you had to hold the volume key to skip but a single press would still adjust volume. Both functions were available with the same buttons.

That's pretty cool, hope it can be done! I usually have PowerAMP set to shuffle my 100+ song playlist and sometimes I get to that song I'm just not in the mood to hear and it would be nice to skip it with a simple hold of the power button.

Yutz-exactly what I'm hoping somebody will look into. Blarrick-I have over 2000 songs I shuffle through. I need a quick way to skip.

It's my understanding that this is a function of ASOP ROMs. Seeing as none have been released yet, I don't think that this is an available option yet.

Thank you for your response. Will the charge ever get a pure ASOP rom?
There is development happening now. No ETA on releases (there never is), but it may be a while.
I realize this might not be exactly what you are looking for, but PlayerPro can partially do what you want.
It can change the volume up and down to be used to skip songs. However, that will be their only function when it is playing, as they will no longer be able to adjust volume.
Also, while it can't put music controls on an existing lockscreen, it has its own that can be configured with AOSP like sliders. It will show album art and play/next/prev controls on its lockscreen.
I'm currently running Dronix 0.4 on my T-Mobile Comet (Ideos U8150). LOVE this ROM. Stable and smooth, and the only one for my comet that the multitouch actually works!
I've been trying desperately to figure out how to make the volume keys change music tracks when you LONG press on them. I was able to make them change tracks with a short press by simply editing the key layout .kl file in System/usr/keylayout, but then you can't actually adjust the volume with them. I know a few other ROMs do indeed let you control music tracks this way, and still have the volume functionality for short presses.
From what I've read, however, this is hard-coded in the kernel or something? Is there a way, without knowing how to make my own kernel, to simply update or replace something in the system files in order to get this working?
I've even tried using PowerAMP for my music, but still cannot use the volume keys to change tracks.
Please let me know, thanks in advance!
I was thinking if there is any mod that eg. Turn vol keys into headset button behaviour (change song) while the screen is off. As it is in cyanogen mod.
Or make music stock notification widget work as a headset button. I use Power amp.
PlayerPro does volume key music switching.
For easy to access music widgets, try Quickdesk
Thanks, but I want something else. I know that it can be done by app, but I need a mod from the CM for our phone.
Folks,
Please suggest me a music player for my international Galaxy S3 running stock everything, that supports long press volume button feature. Basically I am looking for a music player that will let me change tracks by long pressing volume up/down button.
The feature must work when the phone is in locked state and even otherwise.
Thanks.
CM9/10 has this feature. Settings > Sound > Volume rocker music control
Works with the universal API, so any music player that normally accepts inline controls will pick up the signal.
