HI all. I recently started using Poweramp. I am on the Embryo ROM.
I believe PowerAmp is supposed to have capability to allow for using the volume keys to skip songs on a long press when the screen is off / in lockscreen mode.
I see settings that sound like they relate to this in PowerAmp (under headset settings, not lockscreen) and I see settings that seem to relate to this in ROM Customizer on Embryo.
Ive tried tweaking a bunch of them but I cant figure out how to get this to work, and what combination of settings, in the app and/or ROM, will activate this function. I get the lockscreen mode to work where, when I wake the device, it shows PowerAmp controls as the lockscreen, but no success with the volume key skip.
Any advice would be very appreciated.

I've searched everywhere using all the keywords I can think of but not had any success yet.
In the old days I used to use S2P or Windows Media Player and if I was on battery the screen would dim or even go blank but music wuld continue to play and I could pause or skip tracks using the d-pad despite the device appearing to be off.
I'm now using TouchFlo3d for music playback. This turns the screen off but also stops the buttons from working. It means I need to turn it on before I can change tracks or anything. I tried a workaround so that any button would wake the device but it ended up calling people by mistake while it was in my pocket. Then I installed S2U2 but that means I have to slide accross the screen to change tracks as well as pressing buttons.
Does anyone know of a way to allow me to press buttons while music is playing without running the risk of dialling people by accident? Thanks.
Hi all,
I recently updated to Cybergrmod's v10 (fixed) ROM from v9 and have encountered a really annoying issue:
After updating to v10 the feature to long press the volume keys to change tracks no longer works for PowerAMP. If I long press the volume rocker the volume does not increase/decrease, but it does not change the track either.
Additionally, the ICS lockscreen (NOT the full PowerAMP lockscreen) track change and pause buttons do not work either, so I suspect that this is a linked issue.
Interestingly, the volume key track controls do work for the default music player, but I've been spoiled by PowerAMP's eq and other features, so I'm really hesitant to change players.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
p.s. I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere or if this is the wrong section to post in, but I did try searching for a solution first.
Poweramp has worked fine for me on aokp. Maybe just try uninstalling and reinstalling Poweramp or you could try clearing its data first.

After re-installing it I think I figured out what was causing the problem: it seems that if the "respond to headset" button is not checked the volume key long press track change feature will not work.
I must have unchecked it when I was fiddling around with the settings. But anyways, if anybody else has this problem I think that this will resolve it.
Thanks for the reply
Morning everyone,
I've asked something like this before, but never got an answer seeing as, at the time, this device was a fledgling in the custom ROM world. Now that we've got so many different flavors and features, I'll post my query again.
With the CM10 ROM, we can now use our volume rocker as music control when the screen is off. That was a key selling point to me, seeing as its easier for me to just press my pocket than to pull the phone (with Otterbox Defender) and change the track on-screen. One thing that I dislike about it, however, is the broken wi-fi hotspot and tethering, along with a few other things that aren't functioning. I've scoured the interweb trying to find out what files I would need to pull and how to compile them into an existing non-CM ROM so that I could have the full functionality of the ROM with the added bonus of the Volume Rocker Controls.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction so I could hop on this? I'd think that the community would like a little .zip package to make this function with all ROMs, if it's even doable.
Thanks for reading.
i had tried my hand at this before, but couldnt find a way to remap volume keys to change tracks.. yet.. but what i did was remapped my volume keys to wake the screen when its locked... and let my camera hard key to skip tracks.. its quite handy when u want to just skip to the next track..
it involves compiling and decompiling the android.policy.jar, so if youre interested i can help you out..
also before all this, theres one app which worked fine on my A2, Tactile Player, it can skip songs both ways and also play/pause the songs via the power key.
it works fine, but theres always this icon in the status bar when the app is on.. you can double press the volume keys, up key for next and down key for previous.. its definitely worth trying.. you can find the app in Playstore, i was using the free version..
Edit: The paid version lets you get rid of the status bar notification and also adds a widget to the homescreen to toggle the app on/off.
Hi, i'm using a GB custom rom and i want the aokp feature which when you press volume key, it shows an option to expand the volume settings and change the volume for other things. For example when in homescreen i press volume to change ringtone, i want to be able to change media volume from homescreen, or an office app...
Please help me make a mod that do this!! (do'nt even know where to start)
Or i could use the volume key to change only media volume instead of ringer/media.
I looked for this on internet and there's a lot of threads of people wanting this, but not even one with a solution...
It can't be made?
No one? Come on people

Hello friend.
I had the same problem and today I found the solution. I use Resurrection Remix too.
I had downloaded an app called NOYZE that did the trick.
There's some details, tough. The app isn't in the play store and only expands the panel with pro version activated. So I downloaded it using Blackmart and activated pro using LuckyPatcher.
It overrides the normal volume panel and is very useful.
Check it out if you can.
Is there a way to stop the "warning" that pops up every time mobile data is turned off? Example. It is very unnecessary and forces me to "click" an extra time to proceed (yes I am that lazy).
Additionally, is there a way to change songs with the volume keys when the screen is turned off? On my old HTC One X I could change the songs by holding down volume up or down (regular pressing would still change volume). I would like this option because I frequently play music through my phone while driving. I have tried Pocket Skip Track but it is buggy and does not always work. I have also tried using DoubleTwist but the option does not work at all. Is there an option in Touchwiz for this that I simply missed? Or is there an easy root fix?
