Requires Xposed framework!
The S-View cover is really handy, it displays the date, time, your notifications, allows you to answer calls and dismiss alarms, and shows your currently playing song. The last part only works with the stock music player, and doesn't allow interactions.
This mod allows you to display metadata from and control the following players:
Stock Samsung Music Player
PowerAMP
Google Play Music
Spotify
Limited support for any music player that supports metachanged intent and media buttons
Swiping left or right allows you to change the current song, long pressing the screen for a configurable time allows you to toggle playback.
Most variables are configurable in settings. To access settings, open Xposed Installer, find the module and click on it, I didn't want to add another icon to the launcher, it got cluttered by enough Xposed modules doing that already...

Fixed swipe not working for default player when Swipe only while playing is checked.
[2.5]
Added copyright info to settings.
[2.4]
Added Spotify support.
Added warnings if Xposed-related problems are detected.
Added launcher icon for people who were asking why this has no icon. It can be disabled in settings.
Changed default music player to one everyone has: Samsung's.
Long press now enabled by default.
Added debug mode, enabling this makes TTS speak what the app is detecting.
[2.3]
Added option to enable swipe gestures only while playing music.
[2.2]
Stock music player control support.
Paid version on Play Store. Below is the same exact free version for xda users, please don't share it.
[2.1]
Rewrote long press implementation, old one had a lot of bugs.
Fixed placeholder album art not showing for Poweramp songs.
You won't see this: worked on base foundation for ticker support. This would soon allow apps to hook onto this to display their own scrolling text. This text will show up where the title is, scroll once, then the original text will be shown (current song or otherwise).

Google Play Music support.
Skip tracks in other players by swiping left/right, metadata won't be shown.
Fixed swipes only working on the clock, and not the actual song text.

Would it be possible to get Air Gesture and Voice Control working with a non-stock music player? Is all that stuff coded directly into the Music Player or the Framework? Could it be modded to just send general "Next Track" commands etc?

Is it possible that is due to recent fixes for security? (Xposed mod here )

I set the minimum required API to 4.2.2.
This is useless on devices without the S View cover so I don't know why you're trying to install it.

If the GE ROM supports the S View cover then yes. As this is an Xposed mod there's no harm in trying it.

Ah, sorry my mistake. That happens when following links and not reading OP
I was looking for an app thet would display Poweramp data on a swipe of the clock (did not register Sview requirement and gesture control not swipe control) because I don't like Poweramp screenlock replacement. Do you think you could make it more universal that way? To be controlled not only by gestures but actual touch too? BTW, is Sview required. because there are replacement utilities for Sview for other phones?

The Note 2's clock? You mean the one on the ripple lockscreen?
I can't do it right now, I traded my Note 2 for an S4 so it'd be hard to do it right now.
However, it shouldn't be hard for any developer to do this, the source for my mod is out, it's a matter of copying and pasting, but the dev needs to hook the right TextView.
Any chance of support for Google play music?

I guess you're swiping a bit low, swipe on the clock.
This'll be fixed in the next version. Along with press and hold to toggle playback.
I'll see about Play Music support, I don't use it as it mixes up album art and doesn't support ALAC.

Question1:

Question2:
I tried to avoid conflicts with default Samsung gestures, but I'm interested to hear suggestions about default gestures that I should add.
Got confirmation that it works on Note2 and Note 10.1 too. I will update calibration values for these devices, so borders are detected properly.

Default Calibration is fine on my T-Mobile Note II - all gestures worked.
I do have one issue - I can't turn off the built in gestures, specifically the one that opens quick command. It's a straight line up, and so the bottom bar and the home gestures don't work well for me. Obviously I just disabled them and made my own for the same actions. Really wish I could turn off my quick command. Might try freezing it in titanium.
I have not had any other conflicts with the built in S-Pen gestures.
Would love it if you integrated this into your other app. I would pay $5 for that in a heart beat. I'm not too sure about buying and running both, especially if I have to configure the launch pads for each.
However, I'll be buying this as soon as it shows up on the play store, and I'll test it with the light version of the other and see how I like it. Really hope I can do a 4-5 finger pinch to close/home. (Stupid Bejeweled only being on the iPad >.< [new version at least.])
Edit: The more I play with it, the more I run into the system gestures recognizing off of other gestures. Any logs or info I can provide lemmie know
Awesome! Works perfect!
Works on cm10 along side the stylus gestures that were recently added. Great work :thumbup:

1. Samsung gestures - I'm new to Note, but looks like there is no way to turn them off in UI. Samsung recognition implementation is quite bad and it triggers gestures with high error threshold (like drawing L would trigger 'Back'). I will see if I can disable them on root level and add an option if possible, however I don't expect to be able to disable Samsung gestures one by one. Probably all or nothing.
2. There is no benefit joining GestureControl and SPen Control - while they look similar they contain different implementation and there would be no benefit from optimization points. I still would need to read from different drivers and parse separate events. There are plenty of reasons to make them separate:
* SPen is just for Note devices, so other GestureControl users don't have to suffer from increased application size or updates that only relate to SPen. On the other hand some Note users might want SPen control only.
* Settings split - in some case "same" setting should have different values for these applications. Applications have different gestures. If you only need SPenControl, you would still need to deal with GestureControl settings, etc.
* They can run both alongside, there is no drawbacks to it.
* In upcoming releases I will expose all actions (including LaunchPads) through shortcuts api, so it will be possible to trigger GestureControl LaunchPad from SPen Control and vice verse.
Everythings work on pa cm10 utacka. I like it.

Floating Music Controls
This is an app created to control your music over any app, so you can play fullscreen games and switch between songs... Yes! You can play Angry Birds and also skip that song you hate, or stop the music to hear the game sound effects .
Still in beta, so don't expect a perfect app.

}
Configuration:
Opacity: Sets the main window opacity.
Position: Sets the main window position between the four corners. Sometimes, when orientation changes, the position is reset to the top-left corner.
Service mode:
Silent: You won't be notified about the service execution, but the service could be killed when free memory is requested by system.
Persistent (notification): A notification will be shown, but your app will be hard to die.
Show/Hide:
Timeout: It will try to detect when music is being played, checking if the sound is kept more than 5 seconds.
Shaking device: Shake your device to show/hide the controls.
Features:
Pause, next and previous buttons.
Those can be hidden only by tapping the main icon.
Can be shown or hidden shaking the device.
Configurable opacity.
It can be easilly closed once we finished using it.
It works with almost any music player.
Requeriments:
The music player we where going to use must allow and be configured to use the "Headset Control". If app doesn't works, please, check your player configuration.
First run:
When you start the app the first time, you will not see any music control or notification. This is because default settings are Silent service and Timeout window display, so you will have to start playing music with any music player and the window will be shown.

Well, to perform the actions, you have to double tap the button, but i'll explain:
As a "security" feature, to not launch an action accidentally, you have to press the button "twice". The first tap will "select" the button. Once the button is "selected", the next time you press the button (only once, not twice), will perform the desire action (stop music, open config dialog, etc).
Do you understand what i mean?
At first I was thinking I wouldn't have a need for an application like this since I can quickly change tracks from the notification bar, but then I realised using this would be MUCH easier when using some form of navigation app as you don't need to swipe down the notification bar which stops you being able to see the directions being given.
This would be awesome if it worked with Pandora and other streaming music services like that!

MusicDroid is a On-Screen music controller, provide you next, previous and start/pause button to control the song you are listening. It has ticker text to show the song information which are playing. When you play the music by any music player, for eg. PowerAmp, MusicDroid will popup automatically. The notification will also update when you play song, to show the song information.
The idea of MusicDroid is to support any music player and provide a on-screen control button/information ticker to convince users.
Features:
- Auto popup when you play music
- Ticker to show song information
- Play/pause, next, previous button to control songs
- Whole panel is movable
- Simple layout
- Minimize button to hide the panel when you don't need it
- Notification to show song information
- Customize for font size and font color
**music player that should work at this moment**

- HTC default player
- Samsung default player
- AOSP default player
- MIUI default player
- Sony default player
- CM default player

works now. I would request a ICS-themed "widget" (dunno how to call it) though or something a bit classy. and i suggest getting rid of the circles.
that aside, function and stability first before the look.
Add Vanilla Music Player (open-source, no longer updated) to the list. It works even without last.fm although the song information doesn't work even when I still have last.fm
1.1
- UI Changed
great new UI. even using it right now!
btw, i think the player works with every music player coz i tried two more players and they work except in the song information.
testing more

I don't know dude. Never was a fan of reading lyrics.
Anyway, here's another concern of mine. Why is it that the "widget" (dunno how to call it), has a minimize function that you can minimize (or close) but can't bring back? I mean, just get rid of that minimize since clicking on the musicdroid (on the notification) closes the program anyway.
And would you give me a little bit bigger (widget) and have the song title below the artist's name? I mean like this:
Lady Gaga
Bad Romance

a bit higher widget height but much smaller font. It's just that it doesn't look too good for small-screen devices; i mean, on my sgy.
Btw, don't know if this matters, but yeah, poweramp has no problem with the app. Song information is detected even without last.fm.

I don't know dude. Never was a fan of reading lyrics.
Anyway, here's another concern of mine. Why is it that the "widget" (dunno how to call it), has a minimize function that you can minimize (or close) but can't bring back? I mean, just get rid of that minimize since clicking on the musicdroid (on the notification) closes the program anyway.
And would you give me a little bit bigger (widget) and have the song title below the artist's name? I mean like this:

my first idea was hide it and popup when song is playing, for eg, when i connect my earphone, poweramp auto play song, musicdroid auto popup. but yea, i realize i should make a way to manual pop it up.
for the layout, i will try that

i actually like your idea. how about having a setting in musicdroid where it may autopopup when music is being played by "selectable" music apps like poweramp, winamp, etc. it makes the program highly customizable that way.
I also think that the layout may be manually set. I mean, the height, the transparency, the button types. Makes the app very customizable.
And last concern, the icon is really "boring". hehehe. there I said it.

would be nice idea for selectable music app, but need a bit time to figure it out how to get those intent.
for your new layout idea, i made it, look better than before, but the font might bit small, the new version will be up in play store once i clear up the code, with limited customization for buttons. Thanks for you ideas, really help to improve this app!

Complaining about too much updates ?
I care about what I publish and want it to be perfect.
Some things seem to be good at the start but need tweaking later to fit the needs of everyone.
beat supports 2800+ devices, is available in all countries, is free and you can switch off the ads (the switch is not hidden somewhere).
With 2000-3000 downloads a day new bugs, feedback and suggestions come up everyday and I want to make everyone happy.
So please think twice before you complain about too much updates, instead tell me what I should update next
Hi there,
Nice music player you've made there =] The UI is clean and easy to use, gestures are handy, action bar is handy, and nice floating music controls for multi-tasking.
I do get FC when I add a folder to shortcut and go to the main menu to scroll down. The FCs stop when I remove the shortcut so it doesn't FC until I scroll, long-pressing to remove shortcut is possible.
I also notice that if I have a folder with some loose files + folders with music in it, the adding to playlist feature only adds the loose files and not the folders, is there a setting to change that?
If I may, I have a request, since it is a folder player, is it possible to add "play folder (and subfolders)" without opening it or making it a playlist? Also, could you add screen rotation capability to use the player in landscape mode?
Thanks for your great work!

Force close when scrolling the navigation drawer is fixed in 1.24.
Let me think about for a while how I could add the subfolder-thing for playlists and playback in a proper way.
On my ToDo-list:
- landscape
- a proper tablet layout
- random playback from all songs
- subfolders
- a better floating icon
Newest apk attached to OP, I'll keep it up to date.
Hi!
Nice app, now, beat is my default player. EQ, and nice design.
On my SGS works perfectly, but I found a little bug.
In the status bar does not change the track names. All the time it indicates the title, which was played first.
Screenshots.
Really awesome music player! I have only one bug to report so far. For some odd reason, the album art of most all of my albums won't display. Screenshot below. Otherwise, great app!

Do you have image files in the folders ?
Currently i check & display the cover like this:
Check if folder.jpg is there. If not take biggest image file.
1.27:
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification (forgot to handle the 'cover swipe song change')
1.26:
- fixed: rare force close 1
- fixed: rare force close 2
- fixed: next song not playing, when switched from 'on device' to 'cloud' and back to 'on device'
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification
SWEET! will try once i get my phone fixed! (i loaded wrong script and im fixing a brick XD), but one feature i would like to see implemented (if there is an api for it that is), is google play music intergration (if possible, and allowed by google of course ), then this would meet my needs for everyday use =), as the features are really unique for a music player =), keep up the good work and ill watch your progress =)
If that's ever possible, I'll implement it for sure.
Nice work so far
I really like the UI design!
Here are some bugs I found so far on my Galaxy Note 3:
The title of the song currently playing is not being displayed in the notification, just the progressbar, time and the app icon
The folder view laggs like hell on my device (power saving off)
Oh and it just crashed xD
Usecase: install fresh app; press ok when asked to choose a root path; go up to the sd end external sd cards;choose external and a music folder;play a song; play another song from within the same folder; open the left swipe menu and press recently played(doesn't work sometimes, also the scrollbar max value is too big, causing the list to jump around when scrolling on my big screen) when you are in recently played, press back and you have an empty view; press back again (you are on your homescreen) launch the app again and it crashes.
Hope I could help you, if you need further details, just let me know =)

would you consider adding podcast support... the design of your app looks amazing!
Nice app so far. Please keep upgrading.
Very intuitive design, might I request support for copy.com on your cloud options? Oh, and I had a crash as well.
Do you can Include translucent statusbar for kitkat like quickpic app did? Please.

Oh! I actually have the album art tagged in the file. Only some have the .jpg file in the folder. Does this music player not support embedded album art (either way, it's quite the awesome music player)?

My mp3 files also embedded with lyric. Can you support this as well, please?
You app got a potential. Keep your good work!
VERY nice app!!!!
Looks awesome!!!
runs fine on my S4 (stock 4.2)
few suggestion:
1. sort order for folder/items
2. for streaming, a buffer choice.
Keep up the great work!!
I like the UI a lot. And floating control is pretty cool. Still not a replacement for poweramp but this can be my my google music replacement.
Thanks for the awesome app and hope you will bring even more features.

NOTE.
The application may crash when it is just installed. Depending upon the size of your playlist, it may crash several times. It is due to the fetching of Album Arts and Artist photographs. The issue has been noted down by me. Please don't report the same bug. Due to the same reason, you may feel that the app is laggy. But when it fetches and loads all the photographs in the required place, you won't feel any kind of lag or any kind of crash. I am looking forward to fixing this ASAP.

Its great to see you're back up after an incident a while ago. Anyways the past is past.
The music player is neat, and you should continue to work on it. I need to address some issues.
This is the translucency issue. As you can see the content under laps under the status bar. I guess you may have used the xml code for adding the translucency.
I suggest you add the following code to your projects styles.xml where you have declared the translucency code.
android:fitSystemWindows=true
This should get rid of the underlapping my friend.
