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

How do I add one on htc's music player? Google's music player has it by default so I'm quite used to using it.
Well if your trying to add a playlist just open the listen app and get to the screen with the multiple icons at the bottom. (since i use it so much it opens to a song) but all you have to do is scroll over to playlist and click the plus (+) icon. I can't really help you with removing the google player because it might reset your home screens back to defult
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.
Hello XDA,
I have searched Google and XDA, but have not been able to find a media player that has a widget with a scrubber/seekbar on it. I have been through 90% of the media players on the Store and have found only 2 widgets that come close. One had a pop up (slide from bottom of screen) containing media info and scrubber, and the other had only a play progress bar on it (no scrubbing function).
To clarify, I am looking for a home screen widget that has scrubber/seekbar functionality, not a lockscreen media player interface.
Is there a functional reason why no one has developed/released this or am I just not searching correctly for this functionality?
I appreciate any assistance in resolving this.
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.

I like to listen to music on Spotify while browsing the web or using social media on my galaxy s8, Does anybody know how to play next song or previous song while you are in a different app? I don't even know how to change to next song even when I am on Homescreen, the only method I know is to go inside Spotify and do it from there...
If you're using Spotify just use the notification drop down from the top bar. You'll find music controls there as long as Spotify is running in the background. As for the homescreen, you can add a Spotify widget that shows album art, title and artist name along with the music control.
If you activate the music control lock screen widget, that will give you music controls for Spotify on the lock screen (found in facewidget settings)
Thank you guys, spotify notifications were turned off that was the problem
