Is there any way to get lockscreen music controls that are always there? Everything I've tested only shows the music controls while I'm playing music or for a short amount of time afterwards.
I'm looking for an app or widget, not anything that requires root or an unlocked bootloader (such as a new rom).

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
I'm currently running Eaglesblood 2.8 and I have the cm7 lockscreen music controls enabled as well as the volume button music control. These settings used to work fine for both the stock music player and Slacker radio.
I recently downloaded PlayerPro and now whenever I'm using Slacker the volume keys are unable to change tracks and the music controls force start PlayerPro even when it is closed and Slacker is playing music.
When I uninstalled PlayerPro everything worked fine again. Anyone know how to stop PlayerPro from taking control of these settings?
Yes, leave it uninstalled for good.
But seriously, unless there's an option for it to not start (Open up PlayerPro>Menu button>Settings if there are any>look for something like Lockscreen control), you won't be able to.
Reposting here, I accidentally posted this under the Note II.
Running Codename Android, and as the title says, sometimes the media playback controls show up on my lock screen and sometimes they don't. I haven't been able to figure out what causes them to show up.
Apps: Google Play Music, BeyondPod
BeyondPod uses the stock controls of google play, or appears to. When playing podcasts, the lock screen controls are there about 80% of the time (so far). Is this a common issue? Is there any fix? Or alternatively, is there any free solution which puts universal media controls on the lock screen?
I have looked around and found widget locker, etc but I prefer not to use that.
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
