Volume buttons as forward/back for music player

Just wondering if there's any app or mod out there that allows us to use the volume keys to change tracks. Really troublesome to take the phone out just to skip to the next track...

Volume rocker Music player skip track?

Is this possible on the Captivate? I am on the latest Serendipity ROM. it has Skip with trackball option but our phone has no trackball!

Seems counter intuitive. I mean your playing music, the volume buttons seem kind of important. What if you want to turn it down and just end up skipping tracks?

Long press vs short press. Cyanogen mod on nexus one implements this.

[Q] Remapping volume keys

Hello, i have a question about one modification... i would like to have volume controls rempaped to following:
Volume up (short press): Volume up
Volume down (short press): Volume down
Volume up (long press): Next song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
Volume down (long press): Previous song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
I imagine there are some applications out there that can handle the short-press and long-press mapping, but the mapping to HTC Sense player might be really really tricky. Pressing up key (on joystick) jumps to next song, pressing down to previous song, but it works only when media player tab is selected... any other tab uses joystick for other purposes. any suggestions for realization are welcome
I would also appreciate mapping shallow press and release of camera button to play/pause, while shallow press followed by deep press would result in launch of camera (as was intended by sony) but that's not too important as i can simply mute the radio player.
The thing is i use this phone as a MP3 player for my car radio, it is far more intuitive to use hardware buttons instead of touchscreen, not to mention safety... I'm used to this keymapping from good old K750i, unfortunately for xperia, other OS, other habbit.

[Q]Headphone controlz (Noob question)[Q]

Ok so we all know the stock Samsung earphones that come with the Note and I guess other phones too.
You have 3 controls, but I can only do stop/volume up/down.
Many times when I wait a bit too long after I stopped my music with the stop button(On the earpiece) the music doesn't want to restart, until I either reconnect the earphone or press play @ the player.
And the other problem is that I can't skip tracks with the volume up/down button, I did that before by doing a long press, but now it only changes the volume.
Rom: LSC Stock
Kernel: Philz latest
Player: Poweramp full version

poweramp has headphone control options, you should be able to configure it to skip track with double press.
Or you can use one of the many apps in the play store

I think I've tried out all of the options in Poweramp, but nothing seems to work.

[Q] How to change the music lockscreen button function?

I have my s5 mini for just a month and when I started using it, I was really pleased with the lock screen when playing music. There was a play/pause button and forward and back button. With the forward and back button I could swap between songs. But about 2 weeks ago the function changed and the forward and back buttons are now used to change the volume. This is really disappointing because I can simply change the volume with the hardware volume buttons on my phone, and if I want to go to the next or previous song, instead of just simply doing so from the lock screen I have to unlock my phone and do it there. Is there a way to tweak the settings of music lock screen? I have gone through all the settings and I don't seem to find anything. Please help!

I don't know how to return them back, just to say that I have the last firmware and the buttons are still present and work, so it will probably be related to some setting you made.
Did you make any changes to the music player or something like that?
(btw did you know that by double clicking the play/pause button on headphones you can skip the song also)

Well, I use Rocket Player. It's definitely the best music player I know. And yeah, I know about headphones (with Rocket player I can even go to previous song by clicking two times and go forward by clicking three times) but still I would love to have this function on the lock screen too. I have changed the settings of Rocket Player to fit my personal preferences. But I have never changed the lock screen buttons settings. All I have found there in the settings of Rocket Player is the look of Lockscreen and I have tried all of them, nothing changes the function.
