Has anyone been able to get music controls on the go locker screen? I think go locker probably does not support it. Was wondering if there was any workaround or anyone has a suggestion for better lock screen that supports music controls ?

have you figured one out? I have googled the crap out of it and came up with nothing. I like go Locker but I also like my music.
Unfortunately no. Go locker does not seem to have that support. There are other screen locker that support this.

Tactile Player
If you still want to stick with golocker and still want some music player controls, why not try Tactile Player from the play store (can't link until 10 posts). It uses your volume keys as previous/next and double/triple pressing the power key acts as pause/play.
the new go locker update now includes music control......
works pretty good too
true
New version has music control that u can enable from go locker settings.

Apologies if this has been answered before but I am looking to have the controls of my music player accessible when the phone is in sleep. I had that option when I was using the unrooted version (Android 2.1) and Sense. Now I have C6 and the controls are not accessible when the phone is asleep. I have to hit menu, slide to wake it and then click on pause, previous and next (in the music player controls). Its handy to have these controls just show up when I hit menu, and then I can pause or go back. I can enable the function to skip using the trackball but I want the other functions accessible as well.
my cm6 has an option in the settings that allows lock screen music player controls.
settings->cyanogenmod settings->input settings->lockscreen music controls
Great..that's exactly what I needed.
Thanks
freakin sweet. I helped someone. I love it when I'm a noob but my limited knowledge becomes useful.
Hello,
I am new to the Android world and attempted something yesterday I thought should work. I was using Google Music to playback MP3s and tried running Google Navigation. Whenever, I started Navigation, MP3 playback stopped. If I started Navigation, and then hit the home button to start MP3 playback, Navigation stopped.
Is this not possible? Should I being different apps for Navigation/MP3 playback which would allow this? Are there settings I am missing?
Thanks.
Well, here it works flawless... tried with 2.3.4 version and the new one 3.0...
But, it's kinda weird controlling volume, inside navigation, I can only set navigation volume. If I want to set music volume I need to switch to music app or launcher...

Thanks for the response - I tried it again and I figured out what I was doing incorrectly. I was using "Car Mode" and if you hit the Navigation button after Navigation is already running, it restarts the Navigation. You have to do a fancy swipe from the top bar to get to an app that is already running.
This leads me to my next question, in "Car Mode" is there a way to get to an app that is already running without a swipe from the top bar? I thought the whole point of "Car Mode" was that the buttons were big and you didnt need to be very accurate?
Thanks.
So I have been using widget locker to create lock screen music controls on beans ROM. Its kinda wonky and caused issues with other apps.
I'm wondering if anyone uses other apps to get lock screen controls on TW based ROMs.

PowerAmp works great for lockscreen music controls..Now I wish that JB wouldn't have broken the skip feature of the headphones - now long pressing the middle button turns on voice search instead of skipping to the next song
Just got my nexus 5 yesterday and am loving it so far! Weird quirk with it is although I have enabled widgets in the Security Settings, the lock screen controls when I use Google Play Music don't appear on the lock screen. Sometimes it flashes for a second with the album art then disappears back to the regular clock. Is there some setting that I should check to make sure the music controls aren't being overridden? I have the lock screen set on slide to unlock, not sure what else I need to check. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!
Same problem, bump
Lockscreen music controls no longer show up for some reason. Tried playerpro, google music, and pandora.
Mine works correctly on slide lock. I was just admiring it earlier. Huge improvement
I have the same problem using mtv music app. It seems my nexus "forgets" it is playing music even while it's playing music in the background. Randomly the music controls in the notification bar disappears, and even with it the lockscreen controls. I think it is a kind of strange power saving bug in 4.4.. Maybe it is possible to raise the music players priority. Any ideas are appreciated
thanks and regards
Edit: tested a little bit and it seems this bug only comes while streaming via Bluetooth. Had it with my bt headset and while streaming music at the dvr.
Maybe you can confirm that you discovered the bug while streaming via bluetooth, too.
same problem here
Same issue here but not only for Bluetooth. My lockscreen is secured by a PIN because I encrypted my phone. Maybe this is the problem?!
Sup guys. @Awks
I came across the same bug on my Nexus 4, too.
Tried the following: wiped cache, wiped play music data, fiddled around with lockscreen security settings. No luck.
Then, managed to fix it.
I had this one app, called JAYS Headset Control, that allowed to assign functions to headset button clicks. I simply uninstalled that **** and now s'all good.
So beautiful lockscreen with album art & all: https://db.tt/HfD6m3ds
Too bad I now have to re-download my 3GB music library, d'oh.
So if you have any similar apps, be aware that they might cause trouble. Ditch them.
Cheers! Hope this helps.

Thx for hint. Same problem with "Headset Button Controller". I hope this will be fixed.

Hi,
I use my nexus 5 to play music in the car. What was really handy was an exposed module that started playing music as soon as the headphone jack was connected. It also jacked the media volume to max, skipping the annoying safe volume warning. While the screen was off holding the volume skipped the track.
Now I have installed android L to give that a go. It is great but this is the only feature that I miss. Now with no xposed I have gone searching for an alternative app. I have tried a few but of the half that actually worked none of them stay working. After some time they no longer skip the track.
I don't know if this is maybe just not possible with a standard app, which is why the xposed module exists. But it would be greatly appreciated if anyone has found of a reliable app which performs this task.
Try Apollo (default CM music app) I'm not sure if it works on Android L but it does have the features your looking for..
It's a framework integration hence the need for Xposed or a custom ROM. Or you could manually decompile and recompile (if you can even get it to work with the L API level).
Or, wait.
How about with Tasker?

Don't think Tasker can do it. I seem to recall looking into it quite some time ago.
Thanks for the messages. I have tried Apollo but i much prefer the Google play music. Mainly for streaming music. I would have through this feature would be in the official app but i guess not.

K I'm making it my mission today to figure this out with Tasker. I've been using tasker for forever and I've got some pretty advanced profiles. I'll figure this out with Google Play Music
Edit: I did find this app. But I'm gonna still try to do this with tasker.
Check out "Pocket Skip Track"

Sorry for my late reply.
Why couldn't Tasker do it? Just install this plugin and set your profiles. That should work.
I have tried Pocket Skip Track before and it didn't fully work. Just tried it again and chose other music instead of Google music. That seems to work. Let's see if it stays working. It's a shame it's a 2 button press instead of hold it it will do for now

Its not that easy bud. Trust me. It seems Tasker can not see the volume keys as hardware keys. Will work on this tonight or tomorrow.

There's a reason Xposed or a custom ROM is used to do it lol..

I know its been a while but I seriously want to get this to work with tasker. Did you get this working?
Poweramp will start music automatically when a headset or bluetooth is connected.
Cataclysm ROM will enable the track skip while long-pressing the volume.
Unfortunately I don't know about how to set the volume to max automatically, but I think you can disable the volume warning message within Cataclysm ROM too.
I'm trying to get this working too in tasker. Hold vol Up to skip forward etc. Can't see how to get tasker to detect this. (basically the back/forward buttons are broken)
made it possible on non rooted phones
try Frinky Music Controller
I always wanted to have an app which controls music with volume keys but i could not find any which does it smoothly. So I developed my own . My app Frinky Music Controller on GOOGLE PLAY controls music with volume keys and smartly controls music volume. It supports more 200 music players including poweramp, musixmatch, doubletwist, la musique, rocket player, blackplayer, pi music player, and Spotify. It works on both rooted and non-rooted phones.
Some features of the app are :
Next Song -- press volume UP key single time to play next song.
Previous Song -- use volume DOWN key to play previous song.
Control Volume -- when we want to control music volume , most of the time we press volume key more than once (next time when you adjust volume , feel it) . So the app uses this tendency of users as a function to control music volume i.e press volume key more than once to adjust volume.
Stop song -- Oh! you play music in your class in absence of professor here comes the professor .... turn off the music quickly by UP+UP+DOWN+DOWN key action (it takes less time than muting the volume and unlocking the screen .
Sleep Timer : Single sleep timer for all your music apps.
Manually control app's service : well to understand this feature you will have to download the app.
It consumes very less amount of ram.
I am new here so can not post link.
