Keeping Music App "Ongoing"

Hi all, anyone know of a way to maintain the Play Music app as an ongoing app? If for whatever reason the app closes, you must relaunch the app to regain the quick play features in the notification pulldown.
Coming from an iPhone, this is one feature I would love to get back.
Thanks

Not really sure how to make it ongoing, but you can put the Play Music widget on one your homescreens to quickly start it from where you left off if it closes.

Try installing a music player that has a widget such as mxplayer so you can just resume the music from the home screen.

Actually I found an halfway working solution. Using Notification Toggle, I set up a shortcut to play/pause music. Unfortunately is starts/stop the last music app used so it defaults to the stock app. Have to start Play Music first in order for it to work properly. At least it works anywhere

I dont understand how HTC doesnt see an issue w/ this. I used mog and pandora and it stops multiple times during my work out. Its really annoying to have to stop, launch the app, and then hope it continues when i lock my phone again.

Music Controls ever on lockscreen

Hi guys i have a little request, i want that the music controls on lockscreen(that in our stock player they appear when the music is playing) are ever on lockscreen also when i'm not playing music...i'm a noob in android editing then i'm looking for some advices to make this thing possibile!
Thanks in advance!

You can install "widgetLocker" and then put the music widget in lock screen .
You can put many things like shortcut , widget , apps , slider and many things with this app .
But this app can be killed with any task killer So you MUST put it in the *on going to make it stable ( open it setting --> advanced --> show notification icon )
It takes about 10MB from RAM
*on going : I mean notification center

Thanks i knew yet that there was this app...i want to edit the music player stock because he have yet this function(of controls on lockscreen) but they are active only when i'm playing music...i think that somewhere in the system there is something that i can modify in order to "lock" the controls on lockscreen also if i'm not playing music...my problem is that i don't know much of Android OS, then i asked here where we have got the best developers in the world

I thing LG can do that but there is a reason . If you think deeply you can notice :-
When you play music the music app will be kept running and takes from CPU & RAM and when lock the phone it kept running to play the music so you can access the controls . I mean the controls is a part from the music app . So when you stop the music the app will be closed
So if you want the controls kept in the lock screen you must keep the system running the music app and then takes from CPU & RAM even there is no music played . Then the battery will be lost faster.
I think that but NOT sure about it

Oh.. I remember you can install "Go Locker" (it is free) it is very very stable with exactly what you want . install it and select the default theme . it is too easy to use .
The music control stays always just swip the clock and you will find the controls.
Trust me .

Thanks for help OS_Hacking...but my idea was to edit LG's music player not to install external app(that occupy RAM)..besides i can tell also one thing...when i pause a song and lock the screen then i unlock the commands disappear...then i think that the thing to modify is very small...but i don't know Android's structure and i can't tell where modify...thanks in every case!

There's an excellent thread on xda somewhere called something like "the ultimate tasker tutorial" where you can ask there and get an answer for sure. I'm not that versed in tasker.

Actually I may have just figured it out. Make the first context (maybe: music apps open) then select the task to perform. Then on the main screen long press on the first context you made and press add. Add your second context (plugged in, or whatever), then do it again for your third, etc. Let me know if that works!

On cm 10.1 and chronus widget doesn't work. Can't figure it out. Clock works but weather doesn't

What doesn't work? If it is not showing, you need to drag the widget window to a bigger size. If it is something else, please specify.

Well I may be slow because that worked on my home screen but not on my lock screen. The weather is not showing
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

When you are at the lock screen, try swiping down the screen, starting at the clock in the middle. It should slide out the weather. It is by design. At lock, the widget area starts minimized everytime. You can swipe it open, just like swiping open the notification area.
Hope that helps!

I got it working. Thanks for your help. I had to put it on another screen and it worked fine just moved it over and deleted the other one. Weird or my fault oh well working now.

Hmm I'm having the same issue you had. I can't see weather. Tried moving it to another screen and swiping the widget down but nothing. What did you do?

Nvm! I didn't realize I had to turn it on in system setting.. Looks great, thanks Cm team :good:

I'm loving Chronus, especially on the lockscreen . For the record, to get it on the main lockscreen page, you hold the clock icon on the lockscreen and remove it like the standard homescreen widgets, and then press the add button, and select Chronus.

Chronus has been cherry picked to AOKP. For the life of me I can't figure out how to put the weather widget on my screen (not lock screen), the clock is fine. I've searched high and low, I wonder if it's broken for the rom.

Go into the Chronus settings and enable the weather features there, it will automatically add the weather data below the clock then. Also, make sure you have expanded the widget box to make enough room for the extra info to show!

For me the problem was go launcher. with apex for example the widget displays normally.

Thanks, I did find out it was go launcher that caused the issue.

Screenshots:

Works on SGS3 4.1.2.

This is the best notifications app I've tried so far

A bit laggy but works on my Xperia Z 4.2.2.
Would be great if both apps would be merged.

Installed nils+ on htc one x/cm10.2nightly
I'll give it a go next few days and see if I can make up some suggestions
This is just what I needed.

Let me try this

Ok, works very good.
suggestion: build some kind of filter, I get notifications from xprivacy, titanium media sync and apps I installed through the web playstore. Notifications which I personally find not interesting enough to display on the lockscreen. Maybe something like: "press 5 seconds on the notification to put the app on the ignorelist"
I would pay for nils+ by the way, how much is it gonna cost?

ok, ignore my previous post, it's in the nils app, not in the nils+. I assume it will work

@Roymam I have NiLS from the Play Store installed as of right now... do I have to uninstall that version, then download and install v1.2.5r2, then download and install NiLS+ v0.5r5?! Thanks man, awesome app, been using it for about 2 weeks now, used to use DashClock but find this much better!!
EDIT: Nevermind v1.2.5r2 just went live on the Play Store!

You right - you can set to ignore apps on NiLS settings.
I cannot guarantee prices yet. But the introduction price will be as low as I can.

Does this work with widgetlocker?, i have the original nils on my phone and tablet running on top of widgetlocker
My other question is, does this have the ability to keep the notifications even if theyre no longer on the status bar or if i click them? In the original Nils it doesnt do this even if i check the option to do it
I really would like to have that option

NiLS+ is an overlay for any lockscreen. You can use your stock lockscreen with stock clock or any other lockscreen widget.

Feedback
Hi!
I´am using this fantastic app from the start and helped with the first translations. A great project!
Here is my feedback for the new extension:
1. There are apps that add always new lines to the same notification. The problem is that new lines are added to the end of the list. But I need the newest line on top (it´s also an issue with the main app).
2. It happens too often that you accidentally swipe down and kill all entries. There should be a symbol to reach (match) or something else (like you have to do to unlock to the app directly).
3. I would be great to delete expanded notifications my dragging the icon on a symbol like a trashcan
4. How about a system where you can flip through all expanded notifications or display the next one after deleting the current?
5. There should be a mode where you can use the extension together with the widget of the main-app to have the configurable clockfaces...
Keep on rockin!
