I've been looking everywhere for a widget that can control the music like skip, Pause, play for the default player. I couldn't believe android lacks such a simple feature; when I had an iPod touch, whilst the screen was locked, double clicking the home screen would bring up the pause/play, skip buttons.
Whereas now when the screen is locked, I have to unlock the screen to get to the music player to be able to change the track etc.
MIUI Roms have this feature... And the PlayerPRO also has it. You have to turn on in program's Settings

Dont want to flash a new rom on it. Don't want to change the default player either, as I've tried others and are more ram hungry than the default player.
its depend on stock roms,you cant say all android roms has no feature like that,in android you can have everything that iphone has and not,just try search this forum..

Then, I think there's only one other option, get a LiveView (soon SmartWatch) or a wireless headset.
Dosent the Default Android in Arc S got a music Player Widget?!
It does!
And well, There are better alternatives out there!

But the thing is with Winamp or Poweramp, they're more RAM hungry (i.e. they use up a lot more RAM) than the original Music Player.
The Default music player does have a widget, but it is permanently on screen and doesn't disappear when the music is turned off, as I would like to have one on my lockscreen and would like to control my music from there i.e. skip tracks etc rather than having to unlock then go to the widget.
With WidgetLocker Lockscreen you can put a music player widget on your lockscreen
Try this app and enable lockscreen controls from settings menu.
I know its not a stock replacement app but its worth a try..
btw,its free

remote
you can try "music remote" in market place
it adds on to your player and create a remote for your player .... you can even use your hand free to create a remote
good luck
Hi,
I am using jdroid and used google play music for my music related stuff.
Apparently the lockscreen music control doesnt always work. And when it does it doesnt work as intended.
It shows the buttons and the buttons do their job but they dont animate when paused or played, nor when i change tracks, it stays on the same album art and song track(on the screen onlg but it did change tracks).
Any solution to this?

Hi, I am having the exact same issue as you mentioned. Did you resolve it ?
I'm looking for a music player that's most like the stock HTC music player, that has player controls on the lock screen. Any ideas??

I use Player Pro but it's not free. You can enable lock screen controls 2x4 and 4x4. It's a really nice player IMO. You can look up lyrics from it and all that jazz.
Poweramp.

I have Player Pro, but couldn't get the lock screen controls to appear. What settings do I have to have for the lock screen, right now I have it set for pattern and it wont show up? I used Player Pro on my EVO 4G.

X2 :good:
Winamp is free and has a lockscreen feature. I wish it had an equalizer.
Maven Player works

Stock player has the capacity to do so.. What I do is setup the lockscreen with the Pattern Lock.. it'll show the controls that way.

Got to settings, lockscreen, then widget and choose what you want. Make sure "hide controls" isn't checked. Player Pro has no equal in my book.

I have Winamp pro. I would say it was worth the 5 bucks for the equalizer and no delay between track changes. I javelin no experience with the lockscreen player.
Ok this is driving me nuts. I have no lockscreen controls when I am using the 4 digit PIN lockscreen. I am on the stock everything. Strangely, the app Beyondpod player has lockscreen controls but the stock music player and winamp does not. I haven't tried Google Music or Poweramp yet. TIA

I fixed this by downloading an app called Cloudskipper. It has it's own lockscreen which comes in front of the PIN lockscreen. I've seen reports of the lockscreen bypassing onto the homescreen but this is not the case with Galaxy S3. The PIN lockscreen always comes up if you want to get onto the homescreen.
THE BEST
I love this app. it works on top of the PIN LOCK and i can use it with my gallaxy s3 headphones to control it. i love this
I know a lot of people don't like Touchwiz UI so they would suggest moving to AOSP our CM but I enjoy the motion features built in to the TW ROMs. With that in mind, are there any mods that can make the lock screen more functional?
I had CM7 on my captivate for a while and I loved having the audio player accessible from the lock screen. I tried widget locker on this phone (GS3) but it seemed to slow it down and the music controls were always there, even when I wasn't using the music player. If I remember right, on CM7 the music controls only showed up when I was listening to music.
^^^^ I also chose to stay TWUI due to all the features the phone provides. Hopefully we can get some devs on board to update the lockscreen. I would actually like an htc weather lockscreen port....

I haven't found the setting that only makes the music controls appear when I am listening to music. You're saying it has that ability?

I use PowerAmp and the music controls (which look great) only show up when music is playing.
I presume you already know about adding icons, weather, stock, etc. to the lock screen via TouchWiz? Some replacements look interesting (I want one, too, hehe!): Hive Unlocker. Here's a list: http://techthumbs.com/replace-your-android-phones-lock-screen

Widget Locker does have this ability via widgets. In particular, Phantom Music Control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget&hl=en from the market is basically a widget with player controls along with music metadata. The widget has a neat ability to disappear when there is no music playing. HOWEVER, the widget is still there along with the controls so if your screen accidentally turns on, you run the risk of pressing those "invisible" buttons. I haven't used it since Gingerbread so they may or may not have addressed this issue.
Or if you're main concern is to just change tracks, look for a ROM that has "Long-press volume to change tracks". This is very convenient when you're working out or any other situation where you don't feel like turning your screen on just to change tracks. I'm using The Devil's Reject right now which has it already baked in. Very cool ROM as well!
