Popup to change song

Hello.
First sorry for my bad english.
I searched a bit on google but didn't find anything. What I really like on the Iphone is the double tap on home button to show a popup to change songs, is there any app to do the same on android ?
If not, is it technically possible to develop it ? (I was thinking of a background application that could get the buttons you press like key mappers softwares on computers).
Sincerly, Kouray.

Yes, you have something very similar. You can double click on power button to show lock screen and then you can change to nex or previous song or pause

Or you can use a widget on your home screen - mixzing has a really nice one, so whenever you jump back to home you can change tracks

So I guess there is no other way, thanks guys

actually, you could use bar control, and put the a shortcut to the music app in your notifications bar, then you can get to it from anywhere in the phone, just by pulling the notification drawer. Does this help?

Would you recommend remapping the volume buttons?

Just wondering if people have done it and didn't like it, or vice-versa. It does seem bad for the hardware, but I can't stand softkeys/button saviour.

If you're using nookie Froyo, you can try the MENU/BACK soft buttons in the status bar mod, instead of remapping the vol+/- buttons. I've been using it since it came out, and can confim it works for nookie Froyo 6.7. Here's the link to the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932631
It does have it's issues, mainly with the stock browser, and causing it to FC. Other than that I have not noticed any other problems.
If you are interested in useing the mod, but don't know how to install it, let me know. I'll pm you or post instructions.

I absolutely recommend remapping the volume buttons. Softkeys is nice, but kind of a pain sometimes. For instance, when I would view pictures in the XDA APP, I would have to restart the app instead of backing out, for some reason softkeys wouldnt let me back out of the picture viewer. It's just much easier to have the menu and back buttons always available than rely on software. I installed volume volume control if I need to adjust volume for some reason.

Is there an app that puts volume in the status bar that anyone knows of?

Yup... I've got a Pandigital Novel(white v2) w/custom fw and it'd be essentially useless w/o re-mapping the vol keys to menu and back along with soft-keys in the notification bar...
NC has one up on the WPDN though, it has the n home key plus the 2 vol keys and volume can be controlled through setting or a quick-settings app anyways or by adding soft-keys... still no substitue for physical keys or capacitive screen keys though, unfortunately... (spoilt by gtab with the full complement...)

I'm sure you guys know where I'm screwing up. After I adb pull, I only get this
/system/usr/keylayout/twl4030-keypad.kl -> ./twl4030-keypad.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl -> ./qwerty.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/AVRCP.kl -> ./AVRCP.kl
but it says to edit " 'TWL4030_Keypad.kl' and 'omap_twl4030keypad.kl' "with your text editor of choice; I used vi, always a safe choice.
I don't have the omap. what should I do?

Just modify the qwerty.kl in the place of omap. That's what I did and things are working fine.

I am on the stock 1.1 rooted and have mapped my volume buttons - I have tried the other ones, and I MUCH prefer having hard buttons.
I downloaded a volume app "Volume Master Free". It has about 5 different volume controls, but I only use the system volume and the media volume controls.
I use Zeam as home screen; and I put a shortcut to Volume Master on the bottom right of my Zeam shortcut bar. It works very well. I do need to go to the home screen to change volume; but I can tap on the notification bar and toggle mute, so that works for me.

Yes, it makes a huge difference on the stock rom and froyo -- though honeycomb's soft buttons eliminate the need to do so.

Can't recommend remapping the keys enough. On froyo it makes a huge difference in functionality on. The device, life is a pain without it.

how do you remap the vol buttons? i would love to do it

I remapped.
I also recommend remapping your volume buttons. It's handy having tactile buttons for the back and menu functions.
What really sold me on remapping was that I didn't like to have a Softkeys button floating on the home screen. Without a floating button, I would have to double tap the hardware "N" button to bring up the Softkeys interface, then hit "menu" or "back." If I have to double tap a hardware button to use "menu" or "back," I might as well just remap those functions to the volume buttons and use a single tap.

thanks. will attempt over the weekend

can remapping the volume buttons be done when running cm7 nightlies off SD ?
I didn't find a definitive answer

I ran with the CM7 softkeys, Button Savior, remapped volume keys and I just finally settled on zMooth.

[Q] not mapping vol button to ringer

Hi,
Do you think it's possible to map the vol+/- button to media volume instead of ringer volume when you're on home screen?
thank you

It should automatically switch to media volume when media is playing. What exactly are you trying to do?

Somtimes i want to lower the media volume before starting a game.. wish just using buttons could do it!

It can be a pain...
I use Audio Manager. It's an app, not hardware, but it works...

Another option: I use Volumer++. You can have it live right in the status bar. Volume keys are remapped to MENU and BACK.

Not the answer to your question, but this app is very cool, and you can select the volumes to control. I find it much easier to manage volumes than using Volumer or Audio Manager.

I forgot that audiomnager exist, i will give it a try.
Thank

I too am interested if anyone has found a solution to this. I have no need for my Nook's volume keys to do anything with ringer volume. I would love to be able to remap these for media volume exclusively.

Any mods to get back decent volume sliders?

I'm really unhappy with Lollipop volume management. Particularly the fact that the volume rocker only shows up the volume slider that Android THINKS you want. So, if I want to turn down media volume, but I'm on the home screen, I get the alarm/priority volume. I have to go into an media app (or the multiple taps through settings) to get to a media slider. Even I'm in a media app, until some event happens in the software that says it's playing media, I'll often not get the right slider. And if I happen to be casting to a Chromecast in the background, I just get the casting volume button!
I badly miss something like the Paranoid Android volume sliders, where one pull gets you the main slider, and another pulldown of that expands to show all the volumes. I realize I can use widgets and what-not to try to get back this behavior, but I'm wondering what the most 'elegant' solution is? I think Google really is trying to hard to do our thinking for us, and as a result, making Android more of a crap-shoot in terms of knowing what will happen at any given point when you do something.
Thoughts? Mod or specific widget recommendations? Notification-based volume toggles? Ideally I'd like to hit the volume rocker and get all my sliders, and I have root, but I don't know if anything out there does this.
Thanks,
Randy

I'd like to know as well.

I have used Noyze in the past but it is currently incompatible with 5.0. The developer has stated that they are working on an update that will support lollipop.

Power Toggles has an option which displays all sliders IIRC.

Disabling/modding volume keys

I've been searching the internet for days, and all I've learned is that I DONT need an app to "change my volume to a preset level when the buttons are pressed." I need one of two things, and I need XDA's help to find them.
OK, I definitely know where to manually edit the script to disable volume keys (key 114 and 115) but I'd like to either be able to toggle them easily, such as with a quicksettings tile or widget, or I'd like to be able to say....press both volume buttons together, twice, to toggle them.
Why would I want this? The volume rocker is smack-dab in the middle of the phone, right about where my game controller clips on. I play a lot of games, and this is killing me. Thank you for your time.

The best temporary fix I have is to disable them myself by deleting their entry in keylayout. Looking forward to your guys' wisdom.

I don't want to sound like one of "those guys", but, Plz halp?

Found something a little better. Using gravity box xposed module, I've got "show volume panel" mapped to a custom nav bar key and disabled the physical volume buttons themselves for now
