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

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.
Ok here's my situation:
I am gonna add a phone holder under my car radio and connect via AUX/jack.
So I want a direct and easy access to change songs on my Sensation without unlocking the screen every time, I am using IC roms with Sense 3.5.
-Can I disable lockscreen just for music app? (screen off but no lockscreen)
-If no can I change tracks by sliding the music icon on the lockscreen?
The stock player has built in play/pause & skip buttons along with album art on the stock lockscreen so what's the problem?
While driving it's easier to just slide the album art like in the music app to change tracks, or you take risk of accident
I just wana have this function on the lockscreen instead of fucusing on small buttons
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.
its gives kind music toggle on lock screen which brings the music controls still its basic with just play/pause , next and back buttons . no info about song or anything.

Hi, when I try change this option I get "please change the music controller setting in theme settings" but cant find this!??
HELP
Does anyone know how to keep the music album cover art from displaying when the screen is locked.
Without losing the play/pause and next buttons on the lock screen?
I really do not want a image popping up when I turn on my phone, that I have no control over.
So far I know Play music and Rhapsody both show the cover art when music is playing
spotify does not seem to download cover art, so it works

Spotify has downloaded cover art for me and does cover my lockscreen, in fact. The only work around i've found, I added a widget to my lockscreen (by enabling widgets on lockscreen, stock feature) and flipping to that app while I have music playing. That way I can switch back and forth when I want to skip track/pause.
I don't think we'll do exactly what we want here without switching ROMs.
Curious as to why you wouldn't want them to show? I thought this was a great addition.
Yeah I actually love the addition of showing the album artwork when music is playing. Doubletwist does it too, but randomly it'll I guess glitch out and then it won't show the controls or the artwork even though music is playing.
Anyone find a way to fix this problem?

Hi All,
With 4.4.4 I used to have no problems at all on my OPO getting music controls onto the lock screen.
However I am still on 4.4.4 (haven't made the jump yet) and recently my music controls have stopped appearing on lockscreen.
I'm sure it is something i have done but not sure what,
Google Play Music is my default music app
Lock Screen security is set to PIN/Quick Unlock
Custom Widgets on
Camera widget on
Maximise Widgets on
cLock with Clock/Alarm and Calendar (no weather)
Have i in advertidly stopped it or something? (although music still plays and bluetooth speaker can still control music)
Any pointers of how to get this working again would be awesome
Many thanks
