ICS Google Music bar - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

For those of you who likes Google Music, the new ICS build shows the album cover, a play/pause, fast forward, and and X to exit the app all from the notification drop down bar.

Where can I get my hands on this build?

I was super happy when I saw this.

Wasn't there supposed to be lockscreen controls though?
At least it supports some headphone button controls.
Edit: Same problem as before, only play/pause and next song work. The phone ignores headset apps that allow for more features like previous track or volume controls.

Also the cm9 music app works very well too

Audio Media Controls From Headset - root question

Wondering how possible it would be to make a root app to control the audio media (play, pause) from a headset, while inside apps that don't use audio (ie calendar)?
Hate when I'm playing music and inside another app, then have to switch back to the music app to pause it.
While inside the music app, android must recognize headset controls of 4 types right? Volume up, down, play, and pause. This doesn't seem like too difficult of a task since CM seems to do very similar things.
what do ya think?
Thanks for any help!

I just realized Apollo music app can do this that comes with cm 9. Wonder if its only cause its rooted with this rom or maybe it can do this by default.

Volume Button Music Controls
im used to an HTC that allows you to progress thru your music tracks by holding down on the volume button. Is that feature somewhere in this phablet that i have now?

I miss this from CM10!
Until someone incorporates that feature into a custom ROM, you can try this:
"Tactile player"

I have used it in the past when desperate(when a new ROM did not have track skip volume rocker)
Probably will use it again if I get a Note II
Well I just found out if u use Google play the music player shows up in the lock screen but not with the stock music player tho.

Mine doesn't show controls on lock screen when using Google play music ? Can't find it in play settings either

Mine is also not showing the music controls on the lock screen. Tried the built in player and google play. Doesnt seem to be an option anywhere either. Can't wait for a good custom rom that adds this in like on the HTC EVO phones. I do miss that from my EVO Shift.

poweramp will you give you lockscreen controls, it is a pay for app, but is a solution
Winamp has a setting to show lockscreen controls. It is a full screen display with album art, prev track, play/pause, next track, and an unlock button on screen. The volume buttons still control volume, not tracks, though.
This is what I did. Just got widget locker now I got my music and weather widget in love.
This is ridiculous, I'm trying to get music controls on the lockscreen also. I'm used to AOSP lockscreen that will put the controls at the top when music is playing. I use this with Spotify and Doggcatcher.
I've found that the music controls don't show up on the lockscreen if you're using "Swipe" or "tilt" unlock methods, but they show up with other security levels.
I would love it if there was some way to get the music controls on the top for the Swipe unlock method.

Lock Screen Music Widget

I am looking for a way to control my music on the lockscreen. I ran CM10 on my GS3 and could control music. I am currently running Jedi Master 5. But is there an app or a download I can do that will make this happen. I am talking about something that will allow me to control spotify and google play. Just looking for FF, PLAY, RW.

Nope.
SauROM allows for screen-off volume up+down long press music change. But until AOSP rolls out, there will be none of that.
Download double twist from the play store. It has an awesome lock screen music control.

Beats by Dre or Monster with control talk......?

Is there any way to get the control talk cable that comes with the Beats by Dre headphone or the Monster headphones to work? By work I mean the volume up and down buttons to do something, anything? I had and HTC EVO 3D and the up and down buttons would cause it to skip to the next track, well at least one of the buttons would it would play the next song on Pandora and that really all I listen to as far as music but I listen to it a lot. On the galaxy note 2 the only button that works is the center button which will play/pause/and answer and hang up calls, it also will allow google search but that isnt what i need at this moment. I was wondering if there was a way that a Developer on this forum could write a program to allow those buttons to function with our phone?
No clue I see......... damn it.......lol

If you double tap the Center button, it should skip to the next song also.

Help with wired headset Optimus G issue in JB?

Hey guys, I am over on the Sprint forums. I need help trying to see if you guys have the same problems with the wired headset controls I am. Also, if you know of a fix that would be stupendous.
The issue is the pause/play feature doesn't work with the native music app or Google Music. You also can't skip tracks or any other feature.
If music is playing and you click the button once it opens the dialer. If the screen is off it did nothing at all. I have tried various headset control apps on the market with no luck. A few of these apps have a debugging setting. The app will notify you when you click the headset button so you can try and get the app to work. As you can already guess nothing shows when you click the button.
Thanks for the help!

Seems more related to keylayout. Maybe the mic button is mapped to voice dialer or something like that.
Well, it should work in two ways. When no music is playing the single button push should open the dialer. The single long press should open voice actions.
Now, I am not sure how it is suppose to work while music is playing. It seems like I have had one phone that would only control music with the screen off.
I agree there is a mapping issue. How do you think it is suppose to work while music is playing? Does the screen being off or on matter? There should be some way to pause/play and skip tracks without pulling out your phone and changing it in the music app.
Thanks for the reply.

Hmm, if it has different option then it's not in keylayout but in the framework. Whitin the framework it's easy to tell if it's playing music or not. Where in the framework, i don't know.
I have the same problem. I posted the same post problem and nobody wrote on it. I plug it in and the button does nothing off and when it's on it goes to dialer. I've used all of the key mapping apps like sound about and headset controller and it won't fix it.
Also, on player pro there's an option to override the button and that function does not work at all

Bump for 3 button issues.
Working perfect with stock Rom, LG Headphones and poweramp, press 2/3 times for next/previous song and 1 for play/pause
Still won't work for me.

I don't see any other post covering this, so I'm bumping.
Same here. using the same one, I've tried, poweramp, winamp, google music, stock music, and most of those have options to take control of the headset buttons for music. I even tried a few apps on the play store made for overriding headset controls to make music buttons. No matter what I do, It always opens the dialer when I click instead of pausing my music.
I listen to my music on my motorcycle, and I can't exactly pause my music while I'm riding, so if I'm probably gonna have to try some custom firmwares if I can't get this figured out.
AOSP seemed like the only thing that worked.

Called LG today and the tech told me that the phone was designed for Sprint to work with bluetooth headphones, not wired headphones. Would have been nice to now before I purchased the phone.
Same problem - bizarre
can't believe this. Just switched from iPhone, it was terrible not being able to run software I wanted, but at least it knew what to do with a button press.
Still nothing on this?
Still on stock rom, does CM handle this better?
