Wanted: Global Music Controls in Notification - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I have been searching the Google/XDA world for an app or mod that would allow me to control the music play at the moment. That's my favorite hing about iOS. In the lock screen you can control Pandora, MOG, or iPod.
The notification bar is accessible from within almost any app so it would be ideal to have global controls there. If there is anything like this please feel free to chime in.

I'm also looking for the same thing. I have a jailbroken app on iOS called JukeBox that let's me have a music widget and it controls any app playing music and shows artwork pretty cool.

Google Music?

Cm9 lets you add music controls to the notification panel.

Stock 4.0.4 also lets you pause/play and skip Google Play Music from the notification panel.. so, I'm not sure what more the OP is really wanting, unless you want a miniature version of Play Music to show up or something like that. The dev of the respective app (Pandora, etc) would have to support controls for their app from within the notification panel.

Miui Music and Playerpro both have notification music control too.

I use Pandora a lot and Mog. Google Play music is nice but I prefer MOG. I just wanted to know if there android could possible do what iOS does.
Sure I could go back to my iPhone but I enjoy Android. I was just curious if the option existed anywhere.
Cm9 does allow me to add those widgets, thanks foe the reminder. I will try that out...any suggestions for my first cm9 flash?

Another option is to use the MIUI rom; its idea is the same as iOS, any music app can be controlled from lockscreen controls..

Go back to your iPhone. That's the best thing you can do!

Most custom roms have this built in now. Google.music has it and so does poweramp. Try em out!

I think I know what you are referring to. I too came from IOS and that is what I liked most. No matter what music player I was using I could control the music (pause, next, previous) from the lock screen. The default lock screen does not offer this, most custom lock screens do not either. However the AOSP lockscreen will, and so does MiLocker (provided the theme has music control built in). MiLocker should work with any ROM, the AOSP lockscreen may or may not depending on your ROM. If you need help let me know. :good:
Also many music players do have controls in the notification pull down. Grooveshark is the only music app that I use that does not give me controls in the notification pulldown. Hope this helps.

This looks super sick, but can anyone tell me whether it has headphone support?
(skipping music, pausing music, etc with an in-line button, such as the skullcandy FMJ).
Thanks bosina
I have a question , I love this MIUI Music player better than stock but i Love the fact that in the stock music player you can change the music from the notification menu bar is there anyway that this could be achieve with this player as well?
thanks in advance
Love it! And there is a notification icon. We just need a widget maybe? Good going. U go gyrl!

How is the shuffle on this? I have tried several music players and the shuffle always sucks, they play the same song back to back or just stop playing altogether or play the same song to frequently. Just want a good player that actually shuffles through all the songs and doesn't repeat the same one's as often.

[Q] how to change a song without going inside media

hey i have the LG G2X device t moblie version 2.3.3 with go launcher and i didn't did root or any complicated things so if you can things that don't need root to work
when i am playing music and i want to change the song i need to go to the media to change it so my question is there is some app or widget to change song without going to the media when it is on lock screen
ty for the help
(i am new here so if i doing something not good or post it on a wrong forum i am sorry)

Agile lock ...... you can get it for free in the market place it makes your lock screen look like sense 3.0 and you can customize it.

Keeping Music App "Ongoing"

Hi all, anyone know of a way to maintain the Play Music app as an ongoing app? If for whatever reason the app closes, you must relaunch the app to regain the quick play features in the notification pulldown.
Coming from an iPhone, this is one feature I would love to get back.
Thanks

Not really sure how to make it ongoing, but you can put the Play Music widget on one your homescreens to quickly start it from where you left off if it closes.

Try installing a music player that has a widget such as mxplayer so you can just resume the music from the home screen.

Actually I found an halfway working solution. Using Notification Toggle, I set up a shortcut to play/pause music. Unfortunately is starts/stop the last music app used so it defaults to the stock app. Have to start Play Music first in order for it to work properly. At least it works anywhere

I dont understand how HTC doesnt see an issue w/ this. I used mog and pandora and it stops multiple times during my work out. Its really annoying to have to stop, launch the app, and then hope it continues when i lock my phone again.

iPhone Ringtones

I don't know if anyone else agrees with me, but the stock S2 ringtones are TERRIBLE!! I like the iPhone ringtones. Is there somewhere where I can download the iPhone ringtones. And if I can, how would I use them on my S2? Keep in mind that my phone is completely stock and running ICS.

You can find a bunch of them by downloading an app called Zedge from the play store. Once downloaded, just search iphone ring tones, find the one you want, and use the arrow button within the app to download it to the phone. Once downloaded, you'll find it in your system tones when you go into sounds and try to change your ring tones

Gotta thank you for such a great app!!!! I was using NowPlaying but i just found out they kinda stole your program to their profit (it kinda looks similar indeed XD). Anyways i'll be using this app from now on as it's better morally speaking (for me ) and better in features as well!!!!! Love the transparent Theme so thanks for that too!! Great experience, fast and custumizable. loving it !

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
I have an App named after ME and I didin't even make it!
This is the best and fastest music app I've ever used. I'm already using it for about a month. The only issue i get is that this player is beeing killed by the system. I'm having only 277mb of ram, but this app is the only one, among all music players I've used, that is beeing killed. I'll try to provide you some logcats next time it happens.
Good luck with development!
Love the app, impatiently awaiting the transparent widgets...
I'm an Apollo user, especially since they released 1.1. Just downloaded this, really smooth and nice! One thing I'd want is access to my EQ from the now playing screen.. I use a crazy EQ system don't ask.. Keep the updates coming dude
