OK, many people have had issues with the music integrated "AOSP, 4tab, and rotary, and star wars(never got MIUI to work)" lockscreens not actually playing anything right. Sooooooo..., here is the stock gingerbread CM7.1 music app. It includes all widgets and everything. This will not work with the Touchwiz Lockscreens. Also, delete all music players including MiUI music and the stock music player, before pushing this to /system/app.
It has a blue icon that looks like a speaker(if anyone can't recognize it).

Wondering if there is a version of the vanilla lockscreen with music controls so I won't have to unlock my phone and navigate to the music app everytime I want to change a song.
CM 6.1.1 stable has them
you can get them with the paid version of mixzing on sense roms as well as widgetlocker and a few other ways WITHOUT having to change rom to cm
The free version of 3 cubed allows you to add a widget to the lock screen w/o having to change roms.
Pretty sure if you want the vanilla lockscreen, you need to flash an AOSP rom, or use Widgetlocker. The Cyanogen rom that someone suggested will fit the bill, widget and all. However, if you are in fact ok with the sense lockscreen, several music players, like Poweramp, Mixzing, etc. will cover ya.
Hey guys,basically I'm looking for a music player app that lets you control your music (previous, play/pause, next) from the notification bar. Are there any music apps out there that have this ability?
Thanks.

Samsung Music Player. IDK how you'll get it though when you don't have a samsung device, since the notification bar music controller is part of the touchwiz UI.
I can't get Widgetsoid to show things in the pull-down menu..
Try CM7
The latest nightly builds of CM7 gives you the power to put widgets in the pull down bar to control your music. If you flash a cm7 rom and you go into cyanogenmod settings, you'll find them under 'widgets' there somewhere. So it would not matter what music player you have. It will control it for you. I hope this helps.
Thanks, but i'm not yet comfortable flashing my device. I'm too dependent on it that if something goes wrong, i'm f*****.
Plus my computer died one hour ago.

It didn't work on my Samsung SGS. Maybe if I start a music player first, it would work. But in that case, the default player is just better (for its controls, not in terms of overall features).
I really don't know why no one has tried to post the SGS default music player. It does not have all those features like PlayerPro, but having controls in the notification area (as well as a nice lock screen widget) really is great. If only it could be made to only play songs by folder...
better music player does this i also found on here if you search for the samsung music widget works pretty nice too!
A new version has been ported and released on the Evo, with cloud sync working. Would love it on my Inc. running SR3.5
Do you have a link?
hey fellas,
i don't think the app is new. a user over in the Evo section noticed that after flashing the latest CM7 build and replacing the stock Music.apk with the Honeycomb music app already floating around his sych/cloud services started to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980018
Here's a link to the Honeycomb Music apk:

I installed it and it worked for me and my music synced in the cloud!
wait, so its already working for our Inc's? Does it have lock screen controls? That was another thing missing from the first leaked version. Also does it improve the volume levels at all? I have to listen at full volume for some songs. Im dying for a new music player, stock one is so bland.
I am not sure about the lock screen controls but I was able to install the apk and it played all the music

Does the cloud sync work?
anyone know how to get ringtones, system sounds, (non music) to stop showing up in the music app? i would like to see only music
I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone quite yet, it has a lot of bugs I noticed after just a couple minutes:
1) No lock screen controls
2) Notification shows content://media/external/...blah blah instead of the song name
3) The pause/next feature present while browsing your library disappears once you hit next (it's possible this was intentional but I tend to believe it's always supposed to be there so you can keep skipping while browsing)
4) Pure music widget crashes when trying to launch app (may be related to #5, not sure).
5) Not sure why, but after I tapped the notification a few times, now I can't even use it. Every time I play a song, it skips to the next one and keeps skipping every second or two to the next song. A reboot did not resolve the issue. The album art displays "buffering" before it skips, so maybe it has something to do with cloud sync, which I didn't play around with, other than selecting my google account in the settings.

Pure music never worked with Gingerbread according to my experience.
One more problem/thing I overlooked: what about shuffle and repeat?
Thanx for the info Xidexl, thats all I needed to know. Guess ill stick with stock. Hopefully new SR will come with a new player.
Couldn't we just rip the final version off of the xoom then that would fix the issues we're having with bugs and I've also seen the one on the xoom and it seems to be a bit different

About a week ago I installed the MusicFX app that added some cool music settings that I could access in the music player. This was when I was on the Gingerbread leak with Blur. When I went into the settings it gave me options such as "Ambient", "Live Performance", and "Surround" for the 3D audio effect and the only equalizer setting I can remember was called "Bass Punch". It did not have sliders for the bass or the 3D effect.
I then installed the APEX 2.0 beta on the phone. I no longer had access to those presets mentioned above. Only the general equalizer settings and the sliders shown in screenshots for the MusicFX app. Before I remove APEX and going back to rooted Blur on Gingerbread, I'm wondering if I missed something. I've tried installing earlier versions of the MusicFX app as well as other music players to see if that's what I was using before. I've also tried searching for information on that music settings screen with no luck.
Has anyone else seen the menu I'm talking about? Any ideas on what combination of apps, roms, versions I would need to get it back? Any and all input would be great. Thanks ahead of time.
I think the MusicFX plugin only works with music players that have decided to integrate the new features.
I know that the Google Music 3.0 player in the market works with the plugin, but I'm not sure of others.

I know that, and it does work. I have access to the sliders in the menu.
However, the MusicFX screen was different before I put APEX on my DX. I've tried everything I can think of to get the "old" menu back as I don't like messing with sliders.
Maybe this will help:
Before putting APEX beta on, this menu was on the android music app. Then I downloaded the Google Music app beta from the market. The Music Beta had the sliders showing when I accessed the MusicFX screen. As I stated before, I prefer the preset options so I uninstalled the Music beta and went back to the stock player. The "old" style menu was there in the stock player.
I haven't installed the Google Music Beta (I have no reason to yet). As far as I can tell, the switch to APEX either replaced the stock music app, or I really wasn't using the stock one before.
I love touchwiz and i see we have 3.0 installed in the latest FP1 update... Where can i get rom that has 4.5 or at least 4.0 touchwiz... A stable rom please
Closest you'll get is Tweaked 2.0 with the Infinity theme.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Infinity has TW4, but it's EP4, and TW4 caused problems for pretty much everyone that ran it.
Also, TouchWiz 4.5 is just a Market app that just contains the launcher stripped of it's other stuff. It's not a real Samsung version.
Touchwiz 4.5 is not an official version. It is just the TW4 launcher hacked to work on other devices. You need to stop and read more before you break your new phone.

Oh oh... Tweak is good but it has a lot of aosp stuff... I love the music player on touchwiz and the widgets...

While the browser is AOSP, that's about it. I removed the music player as it doesn't play nice w/ the lockscreen music widget (and google/play music is decent... dunno if I would consider an aosp player though, but maybe an argument could be made), and I removed a bunch of the widgets (which you can get back via the tweaktools script/utility).

I actually love the stock music player and added it back on in tweaktools because (I use the circle lockscreen) it has it's own pulldown widget on the lockscreen and controls in the notification bar that I haven't seen in any other music player. another recommendation for a music player would be great because this music player plays all of the music files on my sd card or at least in my downloads/music folder.

THe problem with the stock music player is that it eats battery like there is no tomorrow (or the rest of the day). In my experience it keeps the CPU at the highest clock speed, while the AOSP music player (available on market) sits at 200mHz-400mHz.
really? I never noticed that (although battery drain was obvious) but still no other music player has the play/pause in the notification pulldown. n7 music player has them but they dont work for me
