[Request] Music play controls in notification bar for HTC Sense

Can someone develop an app our mod to have music play controls (play, fast forward, rewind, and stop) when you pull down the notification bar? The play controls should overlay the actual music player notification.
My Evo has replaced my ipod touch and I find it cumbersome that I have to pull down the notification bar, click on the music play to bring up the app, just to rewind or forward to the next song. I rather one less click and be able to have those controls right in the notification bar. I came from the Palm Pre where the music controls were easily accessible. Anyway, anyone up for the challenge? Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Haha okay I see now. Thanks for clearing that up.

I do use a widget but I would like this fair added for when I'm multitasking. For example, I'm using an app, I don't want to leave that app, to go to my music player just to change the song , I would like to change it from the notification bar therefore I'm not leaving the app I'm using.

Try out Quick Desk. Will allow you to access widgets/programs from anywhere without exiting a program. Either a double tap on the home button, or a long press of the search button will pop up a customized screen that you can place a music widget on.

Thanks, I'll try that out.

I just set it up and I love it!

So far quick desk is sweet(downloaded it last night) It's even playing nice with my widget locker(which also "requires" that it be set as the default home also) thanks for the suggestion!

power control widget

hi guys
I was searching youtube and i saw a video about 2.2.1 froyo on x10.
but something was interesting in this video. this guy had reboot button on his power control widget.
just want to know how can I add it to the widget.?
thank you

I think there is a reboot option when you use SwitchPro

There is a reboot option with Extended Controls, try that app out it's very useful. I would guess that's the app being used in the video you're talking about.

+1 to extended controls

Does Extended Controls still have the bluetooth button being stuck issue on the new 2.1? I had to go to Switchpro for that reason on the 1.6.

I've been searching for the same thing but haven't been able to find anything. The closest I've found is a widget that opens the volume controls, which does me no good.

[REQ] Mod for Longpress Volume Rocker to Skip Tracks

Hi Everyone,
One of the reasons I love CM10 is that you can skip tracks without tunring on the screen with the volume rocker. I love CM10, but I thought it would be great to be able to have this in stock.
So I was searching and trying to do it myself, and found a great tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728236
BUT I have a lot of problems deodexing the files. So I wanted to ask if there is any experienced developer that could be kind enough to help us modify the android.policy.jar and just post it here so we could replace our stock one and finally have this great mod on our stock devices.
Saludos,
Gustavo
UPDATE: I managed to deodex the files using apktools. Will try to manage a way to get the hack working

Ok,
I´ve given it a try, sort of understood how to make things. But then when I try to get the /system/framework/android.policy.jar from my stock ROM and then I deodex it, I find out that its empty!! I already tried putting CM10 and extracting it, to see if I did something wrong. But no, when I get the android.policy.jar from CM10, I see it has a lot of stuff.
How can we actually mod the stock ROM? Am I doing it wrong?
If any of the more experienced DEVs would like to help, it would be great. Otherwise, I'll keep looking for info on this and when/if I find out something, I'll tell you guys.
For anyone willing to do this, I found some usefull posts with "examples" here:

Just wanted to bump this I have been looking into this. I really want this feature but I don't think I have the know how to get this working myself.

How about using an app like player pro or alternate music players have this as an option built in...

Do you use any of those with stock and does it work? I have tried several apps that people say in forums that "work with longpress" but most of them work with a headphone button longpress.
What we would want with this mod is have the volume rocker of the phone sort of work as the headphone button, allowing it to longpress to skip tracks.

Yes that feature works in stock rooms using the alternative music apps... It is built into their setting check either player pro or power amp both support it... But it will only work with those music players

I have used poweramp basically since it came out, and ATM such a feature is not available. As I said, they work with headset buttons, not with the phone's volume rocker. I really do wish you could show me I am wrong.
What we would want with this mod is have the PHONE VOLUME ROCKER longpress to skip tracks. In other words, have the volume rocker work as the headset buttons.

Check the control settings for premium version of player pro.. As you see the option is there... I just have it grayed it out cuz I don't use it... It's on the lock screen part of it's settings

I just bought it and after 3 minutes I decided to get a refund.
First of all, what it does is that when you have its lockscreen activated, and the phone's screen is on the player's lockscreen replacement you can switch songs with the volume rocker, which is not really quite what i want. I want to be able to do it while the phone's screen is off (like in CM10). unfortunately CM10 does not have audio over BT which kills it off for me.
Besides I feel like Poweramp (which I have bought a long time ago) is an overall better looking player.

I got an idea, someone could test? See above!
1- Deodex your rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179009
2- See this, i found on razr I forum, but i think it will work.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267643 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330286&highlight=skip+track
3- Test
EDIT:
HEY, FOUND AN EASY WAY LOOK AT THIS AWESOME APP LOL:

THIS WORKS FINE ON MY ROOTED JB 4.1.2 AND STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER LOL AMAZING!!!!! NOW I CAN BACK HOME TODAY HAPPY!!!!!
The only con is for memory... 20mb that goes away... but this serves as a workaround... very nice!

cool layout and features. looks good on my i9505. If you had a built in media/music player like the samsung drive software and the sony version this would be an awesome app

actually im looking for this, perhaps would be a "simple" music player, since having all that feature will be difficult, i mean maybe not like double twist or something like that but maybe just simple with some simple commands
i will try "attach" apollo (open source) to my layouts instead separate app
im wondering, how many people will like use "home" to bring the main app instead "home screen" mmmm

A simple music player would be great. support for flac and the usual mp3 etc. you dont need all the fancy EQ options because you would be playing it through your car stereo which has EQ anyway.
If you have a look at the Samsung drive app for example, the media buttons (play pause skip shuffle etc) are so small and not handy for driving at all. Here in Western Australia it is illegal to touch your mobile phone whilst driving, so quick large easy to read buttons are crucial. If you had, now playing/album art, large easy buttons and a large slider for skipping through a track i would be very happy and im sure others would be too. Your music player could even look similar to your main screen. now playing in the middle with the time slider down the bottom, play/pause button, forward and back buttons, and a button to take you to your song/album/playlist select section in the corners like on the main screen. lol sorry its your app im sure you have your own ideas!
Ps the built in auto turn bluetooth on is such a simple feature yet one ive always wanted and the big names havent thought of so well done. if you could spread the icons out a little under the speedo and make them shortcuts to those settings that would be cool.
PPS on the home button question maybe have the option in your settings to do either and let the user decide. the more customizable your app is the more people will like it.

My screen shot looks the same as the one previously uploaded but i attached it anyway.
If you need anyone to test any new features on an i9505 send me a pm.
Auto starting modes would be a good feature. load straight into music part of your app if you like. would be very handy for people that use NFC. NFC app loads your app which connects Bluetooth and has the music ready to go. Thats efficiency right there!

Very nice looking app... Love the weather and speed in the middle...
But having the settings button take 25% of the shortcuts on the main screen is maybe too much. I would like to set that shortcut my self and just press the menu button when I was to access settings.
Other than that... Really nice app...
