Lock Screen Music/Spotify Contols - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Wondering if there is an app or way to enable music controls on the lock screen?

I just bought PowerAmp. It's a great music player and is on sale in the market right now. It includes a lock screen widget.

You have to get the AOSP lockscreen mod for it to work.

Power amp

Hey,
Anyone use power amp for music? What's the best settings for max volume but no distortion? i listen to mostly rock and pop
Thanks

I do not think that there will ever be one perfect setting regardless to the genre of music you listen to. Your best bet is to use the presets and tweak from there.

never used it, never will probably
The iphone 4 always sounds more whole if that makes sense? Perhaps its best using the stock player? Lol

PowerAmp has been the best music player I've seen and used on a phone till date...
Just did a back to back comparison with the stock player and I have to admit the stock player sounds better to me.

Just upgraded to paid version, sorry if this was covered but how do you get lyric support? I see a greyed out button in info when you longpress a track.

+1 and by a great margin as well.
Dont think lyrics are available yet itll be in an update.
Poweramp + audioboost is a great combination!
What preset do you guys use?
I tweak the equalizer to suite my ears.
I am trying to buy it myself but market restrictions suck. Is there any other way to purchase?

Thanks, that should be nice additional feature.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
is there any other way than the market to buy???

Power Amp Beta

Saw this over in the gs2 forums. The ui is much improved and I think is much better. Click the link for bugs and more details.

I am using it. Works great and looks good as always. Neon theme baby!
I had a weird problem with it. After playing music (via 3.5mm) for a while it would beep four times then the music would stop.
Is this happening to anyone else.

i just tried ubermusic because i read this post.. Im sorry but it doesnt even compare to poweramp.. but i guess to each his own.. its not nearly as feature packed as poweramp. I was actually kind of dissappointed in it.

You're right about the feature packed part, but Uber's interface is pretty slick.

Stock is the best because it has pulldown controls.

Stock is annoying because if you use the lock pattern, it covers the lock screen controls.

Personally haven't changed locks, but this is something to keep in mind. I usually use Pandora as my go to music app, but for SD card music, I stick with stock and use the galaxy S music widget from market.

Music control on lock screen?

Is there a way to trun it on? Can't seem to find it.
you can pull down the notification bar while still locked. that seems to be good enough for sammy

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?

Id like to know this also. I had this on evo where I can skip songs using the volume buttons not having to take out the phone out of my pocket and get robbed on the train.

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
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
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.

I'm pretty sure they were referring to the notification bar.

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.

Lockscreen Notifications

Hey I found his nice app for displaying missed called, email and text message notifications on the lock screen somewhat like the iphone. It's setup as a live wall paper to show notifications in the background, that way you don't need to change our your original lockscreen.

can someone post the apk, it says that my nexus 7 is not supported for some reason.
The app is pretty good but I notice the home screen lags just a bit with it enabled.

I had major lag with this. Might need a 4.2 update before it runs right. Great app tho.

Wow, I love it as a lock screen widget! Thanks!

Same here. Too much lag to use.
Trying to figure out how to make the widget show on the main screen (under the clock) like in your image. Can't see a setting that does it... anyone else figure that out?

That's a screenshot of WidgetLocker, not the stock lockscreen.

Volume buttons music control

So when I was on custom roms There was this awesome feature that you can control your music using volume buttons when the screen is off. But I returned to stock and I miss this feature a lot. If you guys know how I can get the feature on stock please share. Thx
Ditto. I loved that feature when I had my nexus s. I'm currently using jedi 7.2 but it isn't part of this rom. Is there a way to add this?

Use poweramp, it's a well rounded music app with lots of extras.
I'm aware of poweramp but it still doesn't give you the option to change songs without turning the screen on.
