Would anyone know which podcast app has lockscreen controls? I've tried current versions of Doggcatcher, Google listen and an older version of Beyondpod. Paid or free, it doesn't matter and I would much rather NOT use Widgetlocker. Thanks
dont know man... alli use is beyond pod... i thinks it's te best out...
I use pocketcasts
I use pocketcasts, which, by the ways is the best podcatcher in android(Ihave tried them all) but no lockscreen controls. What a great idea. I'll email the dev.
Would you know if pocketcasts downloads and tags the podcasts as mp3 files? If so I can use a seperate music player with lockscreen controls to playback the files after they are downloaded like mortplayer or winamp. It's a cumbersome solution, but I listen to a lot of podcasts and really need lockscreen controls!
yea
It does download the MP3 and tag it somehow. It shows up in my other music players. Not a good solution. Please let me know what music player you use with lockscreen controls.

Ok Folks before you flame me, please allow me to elaborate:
yes, i DID search (but couldn't find anything specific).
yes, I DID try several things on my own (see below for details)
yes, the things I'm looking for in specific seem to not exist in one package.
Ok, with that disclaimer, the setup
AT&T Galaxy note running Black Star V2 with Apex Launcher 1.2.2 / Android ICS 4.04. (Please note that these issues ALSO APPLY TO THE STOCK Gingerbread software that came with the phone).
Ok folks in short, I am looking for a music player that can do ALL 3 of the following (every single music player I tried, and I tried tens literally does 1 or 2 out of the following list, but not all):
1.) Pin-lock friendly lock screen music controls (my email is an Exchange acount which enforces a pin lock) [Poweramp does this well]
2.) Persistent player controls even when no music is playing (this is VERY helpful to start playing music after a while) [Cloudskipper is the only player I know of that does this!]
3.) Full bluetooth track / ID3 streaming to the stereo. I don't think this issue has to do with the bluetooth stack because the stock player and/or Google Play music both work. However, their UI (and/or lock screens suck big time)!
Software I have tried:
MixZing
CloudSkipper
Stock Android music player
Google play Music player
Apollo
doubletwist
Winamp
Poweramp
Rocket Music Player
Zimly
Songbird
PlayerPro
n7player
MusicXmatch
NRG Player
Astro Player
(and more that I can't remember off the top of my head).
Can someone please help?
PS: Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I had no idea where to post it.
I'd settle for option 3 only. I don't like the stock player either, but it's the only one that sends the music info to my carkit.
I haven't tried as much as you, but I haven't found any yet that do this.
Im with you dude, It would be nice if I could see what songs are being played on my deck. But android doesnt seem to be able to send that data.
If the stock player fulfills all your needs, except for the lockscreen, why not try installing widgetlocker as your lockscreen and using a music widget of your choice?
I need a new music player, as the stock samsung one dosent have certain things that i want. The features that i need are simple, but thete are a few musts:
1 simple ui. Nothing at all like poweramp. Im looking for a clean and simple interface, similar to the stock samsung player. (Lists instead of grids, etc.)
2. File support. It needs ro be able to play more than just mp3 files, the more the better.
3.playlist support. This is extremely important.
4.Notification area widget. I need the controls in the pull down area.
5.lockscreen music control. Im on 4.1.2, so i dont have lockscreen widgets. Poweramp lockscreen controls are good.
6.artists/albums/all tracks view, not folder view.
I have poweramp installed, it is not good for me.
There is a player called fusion, which meets all the criteria, but its volume is very low, so its no good.
I dont mind paying, so dont limit to free apps.
Thanks in advance!
SMART PLAYER is the best
i use Rocket Player, has lockscreen support and notification support like you need, albums are in a list by album name, supports playlists, supports diffrent music files, and has option to search for new music on both storages so no need to reboot when you add a new ablum
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (rooted)
RomaranoidAndroid (4.4.4)
Carrier:At&t
Try NexMusic, you can get it from the PlayStore. Has been my favourite music player ever since it got released. Locomain has done a fantastic job.
Also you can try Shuttle Music Player.
Maven is good
sent from nowhere
Hi guys
is there an alternative music player widget thats usable with google play music? i dont want to replace the google music app, i quite like it. but i would appreciate a widget that allows me to directly control volume and maybe even the trackprogress like its possible directly through the app. does something like that exist?
I would be insteresting too. The one from NexMusic is awful compared to PowerAmp.
Media Utilities offers widget to control your music but it seems that the widgets were created during Cupcake era
Was using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jackthakar.musicwidget , before Google Play Music get its own widget.
I just use Zooper.
With music streaming app like Tidal, there is no way to play next on lockscreen. The widget just doesnt' show up like stock player does. Is there any way to fix this? Your workaround is much appreciated. Thanks.
Got the same problem with Spotify. I noticed that the version B152 shows the widget. The updates after B152 doesn't show it anymore..
that what is always see
updates fix one error
damage alot else
The same happens to me with Beyondpod and PocketCast podcasts apps, and with Eleven music app.
But lockscreen controls appears with Google Music App.
I do not understand, it so hard to make all programs can have their lockscreen controls in Huawei Emui??
I hope some solution comes in form of a flashable zip or else.
Same here with Apple Music. No music control widget!

When I try to find a music player which have shake-to-swtich function and contain no
uneccessay functions，I only can find some with advertisement banner. Or It contains
a lot of useless functions like music visualization, lyrices and etc. After a long
period of searching, I finally find a suitable music player. However, when I was listening
music on the street, the music player will always shake-to-swithc music when I was walking:crying:.
It is very annoying. Lastly, rather than waiting for a suitable music player, I try to make
my own music player. So, Terse music play is born.:highfive:
Hope you guys enjoy it!

Idea with shaking is interesting, and UI is neat
But it's way too minimal: no playlists, grouping by artist or album, and album arts. Also, notification while playing is not a native player notification, so it doesn't shows up on a lockscreen
