Lockscreen media buttons override current playing app and start "stock" player music
Hi guys,
This is my first thread and my english isn't so good, so dont mind me if I make couple of mistakes
Nor try to help me do better next time, thanks
I have one little problem with my Huawei Ascend Mate 7, version L09 with B137 ROM on KitKat 4.4.2
Well it happens when I play (for example) music on soundcloud and lock my phone, music continues playing in background but when i press "power" button to wake screen up and try to pause music, the soundcloud stops playing and the stock music app lauches and plays music from my library,
It happens same when i try to go next / previous track.
I tried :
►* 1 to change between apps :
Spotify, DI.FM radio, youtube, google music, xiaalive app, all of them have media lockscreen option and none of them seem to work on my phone
►*2 Changed default music app under "applications manager" and that havent fixed the issue either.
►*3 Deleted completely "stock player music.apk app" after obtaining root permission and this just made it worse,
Now when I press play button on lockscreen media buttons all my music apps start playing in same time
►*4 Tried to download any lockscreen app from "play store" which has media buttons on, for example (Next, Echo, CM Locker Start Lockscreen,
This can make media buttons to work normaly now, and not interract with stock music player app or any other music application you have installed on your phone, it perfectly focuses media buttons to application thats currently ON and playing music in background, includes art work too
BUT, as always there is something you must risk, and this might be a huge gap
When you download any lockscreen app from "play store", this will change your default huawei lockscreen and it will disable fingerprint option,
So if you want to "throw away" such a option as a fingerprint, this might be a fix for you
I hope someone has time here to try if same bugg happens on your devices and if it had happend and you found a fix which does not mean "avoding" use of fingerprint option, please say how
Highly appreciated for your reply's and advices
Thanks
It's aggravating
Mine does that too. I installed next lockscreen to override but it doesn't allow Fingerprint unlock. Also my soundcloud now playing disappears from notification tray. And youtube soundcloud urls don't open in app. No default choice for soundcloud or browser. And if my phone restarts, my wallpapers and defaults go back to stock including ringtone. And sharing to other apps always is difficult because it picks one and then automatically shares to it. So iI haveto uninstall the app it shares to and reinstall.

This app is able to disable the mediascanner at boot. which would probably make the bootlag a bit less annoying for some people.
you can find it at market, just search for "aditya"
remember to download the root version, as the regular one can't stop the service.
also, usb-debugging must be enabled.
i have no idea how this will impact the folios performance, but it's worth a shot.

Edit: i'm really sorry... this was meant to go in the folio 100 subforum. i guess i'm extremely tired :\ please delete as i will repost it in the correct forum.
Wonder why this media scan toggle app is disabling my ability to view pictures in gallery as well as the music player not showing any songs at all, even my mp3 ringtone in the music player is no longer playing and no longer an option under settings>sounds>ringtones ?
In other words, I thought that this app only stopped scanning/rescanning of media which would be GREAT but it not only stops the scanning, it also disables me from viewing any pictures in gallery and disables me from playing songs in Music Player and to top it off it also disables my mp3 ringtones when the phone is sopposed to ring.
(so with this app enabled my phone does not ring unless I select a built-in ringtone)
Perhaps I am doing something wrong or I just don't understand what this app is really intended for?
HELP! (I do want the media scanner not to scan unless I turn it on)
BUT I do want to be able to use mp3 song ringtones and want music player to play my mp3 songs and I do want to view all my pictures in the Gallery.
If I NEVER restart the phone this "rescan Media" media scanner app works as advertised
but after rebooting the phone it not only disables the media scanner but it also prevents me from viewing any pictures or videos in the gallery plus in Music Player no songs show up at all........
My phone is a Samsung Captivate using Froyo 2.2 firmware.
Thanks!
I don't have any problems with it.

Hi All,
Anyone knows how to change default music player on KK Android?
When I click open music player on phone using android wear it opens default music player Google Play. When I freeze that it opens YouTube, when I freeze that Tunein Radio and when I freeze that finally PowerAmp.
However I want to have Youtube and Tunein installed and working. Any suggestions?
Tried the clear defaults but all above mentioned apps have that option greyed out, tired assigning PowerAmp to MP3 files and I can and it now opens when I double click but Wear still opens google one.
Anything else?
Thx for help.
I've recently migrated to an Honor 8 phone which is using a MUI variant of Android OS.
My Media Utilities Widget - which was the most heavily used part of my phone - is no longer working properly.
The widget sets up fine, the MU button opens the Media Utilities drawer I see all the media apps I've added there, So far so good.
When I play any media, the widget displays the correct art ...and that is it.
The media app button doesn't change from a blue question mark button
Both the buttons lead back to the media utilities drawer when the app buttons should show and lead back to the playing app.
the control buttons show up but do not control the current media player
tapping the album art just leads back to the media utilities drawer.
The controls in the notification drawer work fine for whatever app is playing.
I've deleted and set up the widget many times with multiple settings but no change.
Jack's Music Widget is less functional - it doesn't lead back to a drawer / Menu of installed media apps. I tried it any way.
It has even less functionality.
It will display whatever is playing when the widget is set up but never change after that.
None of the controls work at all.
Any idea what is the problem?
Anyone having the same experience?
Any suggestions for a widget that can control multiple media apps? Local music player, Google Play Music, Spotify, Stitcher, etc.
Thanks
I am running @da_anton's lightweight ROM and still getting slowdown issues. I noticed once the headunit bogs down, the tuner also starts having trouble. I think part of my problem is I have a large music library on my External SD and the music app seems to rescan it every time it boots. I want to total replace the music app and replace with something very lightweight like Eleven Player, but only if I can completely replace the existing app.
Since I am on da_anton's ROM, I am rooted, and know I can delete the default, but how do I get the replacement player to work as default so it has app priority when I select it? By that I mean if I have the radio on, and select music, the system knows radio sound stops and music app takes control.
+1 for that, I would like to use other version for music player as well, the way it sorts the folders is not good for me, need standard style, like pc folder style, not all folders at same time.
MtcdTools for set a steel button for:
1-next button
2-previous song
3-open the better music app: jetaudio
Hi,
Is there any way to assign third party app to Steering Wheel Controls command MODE so that instead of Radio -> Music -> Video -> AUX cycle thru Radio -> [My Music App] -> [My Video App] -> AUX?
Guys youl can get every other music player to work.
Just install it.
Now change buttons.
With dasaita greaser (even scip music with the round button, or ehith steerling whel is possible)
You can see it on my video.
Please skip to 4:40. And wait. I even show button functions and synchronizing mp3 with phone without pc, just music that's changed rating.

Hi XDA community,
I have just received a reply to a 'bug report' I submitted.
I queried if the following is normal behaviour on OnePlus devices:
1. Pair phone with Bluetooth headphone/speaker
2. Disable Google Play Music (this is so that I can change the default Music app)
3. Change default Music app (I changed it to Pi Music Player)
4. Open default Music app (Pi Music Player) and play any track
5. Stop track and close the default Music app (Pi Music Player)
6. Open YouTube or any other streaming app and play content
7. Close YouTube
8. Click play/pause button on Bluetooth headphone/speaker
9. This should open your default Music app (Pi Music Player), but it does not.
I received the following reply:
'Good day sir, as we confirmed, this is by default design, In this case, youtube app won't handle any key event if they're in background.
Thanks for your effort and hope you have good day.'
My question is are OnePlus saying that if I use Youtube then the play/pause button on my Bluetooth headphone is disabled on OnePlus devices even though Youtube has been closed, shutdown and not running in the background? If so this sounds to me like default music app setting in OnePlus is not working properly. This is the same even if I restart the phone. The only way to make it work is to open default Music app (Pi Music Player) again and play a track.
On all other devices I use when clicking the play/pause button on my Bluetooth headphone the default music app is automatically started regardless of whether I have previously used Youtube and then closed it.
Any thoughts?
Can someone advise how the 'default music app' setting is supposed to work in OOS? OnePlus have confirmed that it doesn't ensure your Bluetooth headphones to auto start your default music app.
This was the reply:
'Yes sir, it will open the last player app you run and it's current rules. It may not change in a short time.'
Other than selecting 'Auto Play' under 'Earphone mode', is there any way to get round this as it is annoying having to take the phone out of the pocket to open music app.
