Music Player Controls in Notification Pulldown? - General Questions and Answers

Is there any app that allows you to put functional music controls like play/pause, back, next, etc... in the status bar pulldown? If not, is there a way to have them? Like a rom that has it or a way to flash something?

CyanogenMod7 has this.

I have heard from others that CM7 has this. So I'm interested in knowing if this is true or not.
Supposedly, with a control bar app called "widgetizer" you can put a widget in the notification bar that will cause a pop-up music control when pushed. I never got it to work on my SGS. And I hear it only works with the Android stock music player, which I don't have (and it does not seem to work with the 3.0 version of android music player).
The SGS has a music player which has controls in the notification bar and has a good lock-screen widget, but that widget only runs on the stock SGS lock screen (and SGS variants/descendants. . It does not have any home-screen widgets, but that's sort of unnecessary because of the notification bar controls. However, for some reason, no one has tried to extract the music player, controls, and lock-screen out of the SGS and make it into a flashable package. I would like that now because I''m running a ROM (Darkys 10RC6) which does not have the stock Samsung lock-screen.

try settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/notification power widget
if you can see that option there, you should be able to enable it and use it.

you can do this widgetsoid or is it widgetzoid?
It sllows you to create your own widgets, even in the notification bar.

i know that option..
but iwant more than that..
anyone ever seen the music player in samsung device (ace or sgs2)??
if its play music,,there is a player control show up in notification pull down..
but when stop using music player,,its gone..
so its just like a widget..
but its place in notif pull down..
n only show up when u play music..
ics (cm9) have it..
but what i want to ask is any other music player do that??
as im not quite really like the google music,,as it have no option to show lyric..
thanks

idea for an app

Im pretty sure theres nothing like this out there, but i think it would be really cool if you could hide the notification bar and only have it show when you pull it down on the top of the screen. I think it would look much cleaner.
So your screen would look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
until you pulled the bar down on the top of the screen.
There is an action in launcher pro that allows that. Or something similar.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
There is an ADW.Launcher setting that already allows this. There another setting to hide the dock too.
Yeah I use it in lp. Don't like having the time show in two places on one screen. It pops up everywhere else but home, real nice.

No prob, still learning myself

So far the only thing I don't like about it is I wish I could still swipe down and pull the bar down. Like how it looks though.

Just hit the menu key and then you can swype it down
Edit: preferences _ behavior _ home key action. Set to open/hide status bar. Works great!

[Q] music lock screen

so i was wondering if a lock screen music player could be ported over to the t.f. like everyone has on the galaxy s phones i like to be able to play music from the lock screen and not have to unlock everytime i want to change a song possibly a flashable .zip file or something that would be awesome thanks
i'm kind of thinking (probably incorrectly) that this is a limitation of 3.x
oh google, you and your half baked products! :\

Could you please post a link of what your are talking about? I have the Epic and don't have the feature, or atleast that I'm aware of....
i have the galaxy s and on there lock screens it integrates controls for the music player, when locked if you activate the screen you pull down on the cd image at the top and controls for the player appear, very good feature tbh

I know PowerAMP offers locksceen controls(Not turned on by default, can be turned on in the menu)
But I just tried to use poweramp on my transformer and while the application opens and finds all my music, it does not play any music. I am using the same music that is on my phone, and I use poweramp on that and my music plays just fine.
It is a paid app, but they offer a 2 week trial before you pay anything. I would give it a try if I were you, maybe it is something on my end that is causing the music files to not play.
Use fly screen for tablets for lock screen controls for any app/widget just like widget locker. Execpt Fly screen for tablets is for tablets
works great, just make sure you dont' have a lock/pattern/pin/password on your TF otherwise you have to unlock your tab 2x
setups a little confusing, but i'll try and help if you need any

No, its a skin placed on Samsung and its integrated to their own music player app, HTC does the same thing. Neither the lock screen or the player's integration have anything to do with google. As stated there are applications that include their own integration but Google's music player does not.

Im having the same issues with poweramp.
I posted in his forum and got this reply from him.

Unfortunately there is a bug in Transformer ROM which prevents PowerAMP from scanning folders. This will be addressed in next PowerAMP update.
Thanks for the report!

Sense 4.0 Lockscreen

I can't say I know what the actual lockscreen looks like but its been dubbed Sense 4.0 Lockscreen.
It comes with plenty of options such as widgets and changing shorts to changing wallpaper. It's smooth and works over your previous lockscreen.
If you're going to ask where I got this I cannot tell you, I believe I pulled it out of a Rom but I do not remember.

If this happens to be against the rules please feel free to remove this topic or lock it. Is give credit but I have absolutely no idea who made this thing.

Pretty nice, thanks for posting this.
Awesome thanks works great. Any way to add trackball unlock to it?
Thanks! It looks sweet and works well. I can't seem to get it to work with the default music player though - Ice Cream Senseless ROM.
Or does it only support music controls for PowerAmp and PlayerPro?

There's been a lot of updates to this, search for BlackMarket android and download the app once you find it. Inside it has a log for updated apps that need to be updated. If I get time ill upload a newer version, its possible it uses OJ Wake.

It only seems to be those two, default works but you have to use the music controls given to you.

I did a little searching and found the Blackmart app and found there was an update to the lockscreen, which has changed its name to Agile Lock. Here are some links if anyone is interested, couldnt find either on the market. They added a few more settings and options.
Blackmart Alpha: http://dinc.does-it.net/APKs/Blackmart_Alpha_0.49.93/Blackmart_Alpha_0.49.93.apk

OK, I got it. IceCreamSenseless uses the htc music player - they don't work with that. I installed an aosp music player from the market and that works. Good enough for me.

Hey The link is dead could you please please post the apk?

A buddy of mine just got the samsung galaxy nexus with ICS from verizon. I made him a custom ringtone and sent it to him. He long pressed it, saved it but can not set as a ringtone. He and i went to vzw and a rep stated it was a ICS issue and not a hardware issue. Has anyone ran into this issue and if so, is it software or hardware issues

Software, there's no custom ringtones in ICS I think.

Sorry to contradict u but I am on a ics leak. I download "ring tone maker" from the market to make your own custom ring tones.

Yeah, well custom ringtones aren't supported on ICS anymore.

"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
He hooked his phone to his PC and it installed the drivers, then reconized the phone as a "mass storage device" and had several folders one of which was "ringtones" he copied and pasted his MP3 tones there. Once undocked from the PC, the phone reconized the sounds as ringtones and he was able to set them as such.

Can you not just put the file into a self created media folder? It should then display as an option?
In Froyo, While listening to music, you press menu and there will be a 'Set as Ringtone' option, Would be totally awkward if ICS dont have it.
There is "set as ringtone" option in ICS. Also you can create a media folder in the SD card and put ringtones there.
There is an app in the market ringtone maker that uses your media to make custom ringtones.

with ics is not possible
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 and it works fine for me. I can either long press the music track and "Use as Ringtone" or select it from the menu.
I did not realize of that long press method it works.

Before you say something....think.....
It is possible. You need to have the right folder location to add it to the list of ringtones. There's one for notifications and one for ringtones. That's how the music apps are able to add them.
/ringtones for ringtones
/notifications for notifications
/alarms for alarms

or you could do

Doesn't matter where they are as long as they're named correctly.

[Q] How to get Background in lockscreen While Playing Music?

I use N7Player to Play Music and it Uses the Ice Cream Sandwhich Style Lockscreen Widget to Display and Change Songs Without Entering the Password,But I thought that it looked kinda strange when the Music is playing, The lockscreen Background goes black. So is there a way to change it to something else or atleast show the Actual Background while playing music?
