Is there any app or customization out there that can skip music with long press on the volume rocker? This is a feature I miss, which the iPhones had, I hate having to press the unlock button (which is already annoying) and then change music, I want to be able to change music without touching the damn screen, any info would help.
Thank You

At times like this I wish I knew how to create/modify ROMs.
does anyone found a solution? i miss the remote control function from my iphone, is there a tool that can do the same behavior like on iphone?
(middle button)
one click -> stop/play
fast double click -> next track

The only option was to go on a custom ROM, Cyanogen ROM 6.1 RC2, which I have done, it's awesome.
You could always just use the headphones that come with the phone
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
First you would need to install a nolock app or widget, I use Lock Screen Switch widget but No Lock is good also if you prefer an app. Then you would need to install the button remapper or one like it in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 . I think then you would be able to do it.
thanks, i will try
i've found a better solution,
just download the "Headset Volume Controller" Widget, than put it on your home screen and activate the Widget
than in the htc music player, the controlls are working as follow:
middle klick
play/pause
top/bottom klick
while playing->volume control
while pausing->last/next track
so if you want to skip a track, just click once on the middle button to pause, and the up/down keys work as track control, otherwise while playing the keys work as volume control
works with my htc desire hd and the standard music player.
now there is a much better solution, now it acts exact like the iPhone headset control.
just download the "Headset Volume Controller" Widget, than put it on your home screen and activate the Widget
after that download and just install this app "Headset Button Controller"
now the headset control works like on the iphone:
1x (middle button) play/pause
2x (middle button) skip track
3x (middle button) last track
+/- Volume Up/Down

When I try to choose a button nothing happends, only if I turn around the "wheel" it choose "down".
I have htc p3300
Assign a button to it. If you choose 'down', then when you are playing your music, just press this 'down' to swithc off the screen. Other buttons are still functional though.

But even then when I press on/off button media player stops playing music.
Is it possible to wake the device with trackpad or any other button than the power button? I know it is achievable through custom lock screens etc, but there has to be a cleaner way to do it. Cyanogenmod has this option under settings...
Is there a hack to double press the mic button (play) button on the headphones to skip songs? I am using Apple headphones (play-stop button works).
Thanks
I found a solution for headphones control. bTunes and Meridian can be used just like iPod.app on iPhone. YAY
Just need to find how to wake my Desire without reaching for power button...
Download "No lock" from the market, which does what you want but disables the lock screen.
Thanks, I did find that and will use it if i don't find anything better...
Hi, is there any ways to change the track by holding or tapping the volume buttons(instead of turning on the phone and everything)?
I also use headphones w/ controls but everytime I press the button, it either pauses or plays the music and if I double press, it redials. Is there a way to fix that too?
Thanks in advance.

This will be implemented in CyanogenMod 6 I believe. With the screen off, you can hold the volume key down and it will skip forward or backward depending on which key you are pressing.
Thanks for the reply!
Is there a shortcut to access music? like iphone, double tab the home button and you can change songs straight from the home screen. Is this possible with the g2? It makes a whole lot easier when trying to change songs while driving so you dont have to unlock, go to music player on home screen and then hit next.
hopefully when its rooted, you'll be able to hold the volume up button and it would go to the next song (addon)

lol. but wouldn't that just change the volume? theres a nexus one hack that lets you skip+pause songs by clicking the scroll ball when locked. probably could change that to get it to work with the G2's trackpad.
Not sure of an app that does the same as the iPod. But I use MixZing Media Player, you can enable a widget that pops up on your lock screen that lets you pause, play and skip songs. Also shows the artwork for the current song playing. That feature isn't free though. You have to purchase the upgrade for $7.99
skip/back by holding the volume rocker is a standard feature in CM6

I'm not sure why, but that feature never worked on my Nexus. No matter how long I held it down.
You could always use QuickDesk. It'd function exactly how you want it if you put just the music widget on it.
