Enable screensaver when using Poweramp - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

When I use the stock MTCMusic player, the head unit will go into screensaver mode with just a time showing. Is it possible for power amp to do the same?

Car Mode + Spotify?

I just got some new NFC tags and I'd like to be able to use Spotify in car mode instead of the default music app. Is this possible?
you can try to clear app associations and see if spotify can be a choice.
Can't you just add Spotify to the car mode app list and then choose it once car mode is activated? Or are to looking for something automated?

Poweramp doesn't stop radio, mode cycling etc

Dont know if the title makes sense!
Trying to set this up for everyday use now, using Malaysk rom.
Installed poweramp, but noticed that if i am playing the radio, then open poweramp & play something, the radio does not stop.
I have to go back to radio app, then press back button.
Is that normal/correct or is there a way to configure this sort of thing.
Also, when pressing mode button (as configured on SWC), can you choose which apps are cycled through?
It currently goes through things like AVIN, and Video which i do not use.
Another thing (!), i've hads a couple of times when its gone to black screen and i cannot do anything about it, pressing power button just beeps, there is still power as there is illuminated buttons, but just a black screen and only a complete power down using ignition reboots and restores screen.
Think its like when the power button in the top right status bar is pressed (which i also need to disable!)
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions, keen to get this set up nicely now
Took me a bit to find this. You have to use the My Music shortcut not the power amp shortcut. Then setup PowerAmp as your default music player.

Thanks for that
Where do you set the defaults?
Could just find it in MTCmusic I think it was. Playing around with that at the moment, still not quite got things how I want then though, taking me ages this is!
Been playing around with the settings.
Come across another problem
When using Nokia here maps, I can use SWC to skip tracks playing in Poweramp, but when I skip, the Poweramp audio doesn't return until I press a volume up or down button.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
actually, its not related to navigation
Noticed it does the same even when in Poweramp app
Skipped forward a track using SWC, then no audio until volume pressed...
anyone?

Quiet Audio Temporary Fix

I discovered that after updating my phone (retus) to the December Security Patch, my bluetooth, headset, and speaker audio was quiet... Stock Audio Effects on the phone was no help, and acts as if its disabled... Even though it was not when I tried to adjust its settings. I turned it off via Google Play Music in the settings by selecting Equalizer and turning it off before doing what I describe below.
My Temp Fix was to download the "Pi Music Player" in the playstore... Go to the equalizer settings, select to use the Pi Equalizer instead of the system EQ... Then press the "Flat" button beneath the equalizer 2x. Once you do this, your phone will come alive. Now you can choose the equalizer preset of your choice, including manual and set your own if you want.
If the audio goes soft again, just press the flat button 2x in the Pi Equalizer and re-select an EQ setting and all should be well.
I am not rooted (even though I would love to be) and anyone could this to make their music/phone sound better... Even if it only works intermittently.
So far I have tested the Slacker Radio and Pi Music Player apps with Pi EQ settings and it works fine for me...

Automatically toggle Boomsound when music app starts playing

I was wondering if it was possible to automatically toggle Boomsound into music mode when I start playing music in a particular app (poweramp). I keep it in theater mode otherwise because I like that better for videos, but when I go to play music, it would be nice not to have to change it manually. I block the persistent notification, so I would have to change it via settings.
I use Tasker and the Autoinput plugin, but I can't figure out how to automate it. Any help is appreciated.

MTCD RK3188 Malaysk Rom / Poweramp / SW Control

Hi anyone here having trouble getting Xposed MTC to set poweramp as default music player and getting the SW control to skip music? Sw controls work for skipping music only on default mtc music player, thanks!
All your can do to make power amp more friendly is:
1. Use MTCD TOOLS to be able to use your steering wheel controls
2. Use xposed MTC MANAGER, by adding the power amp process to the file "whitelist.ini" so it will start playing automatically after resume from sleep.
the whitelist.ini file is in the GPS card inside MTC manager folder. (that is of you coppied the MTC Manager files like Malaysk says to do) inside you can just write down the poweramp process (com.maxmpz.audioplayer)
it will be kept alive during sleep.
3. In power amp settings there is a setting to resume playing on startup. Enable this and it will start playing automatically after cold boot.
This is it. Nothing More you can do
