Hi all,
I have recently upgaded my trusty old SII to an i9305, and there is one thing that's bothering me. My SII had music/media player controls on the pattern unlock screen, so that I could swipe past widgetlocker and then control whatever media player was in use (e.g. PlayerPro, Tune In etc). However, they don't appear to be working on my SIII. I'm running RipperRom V13.
Is there something in settings or JKay that I need to do in order to enable this?
is ur Rom based on stock 4.1.2 if so touchwiz 5 doesn't have music controls on lockscreen
Right that must be it - how annoying!
Thanks for your reply. I guess i'll need to find a widget that'll work with any media player...

I remember, way back in the day, when my phone was stock and I thought it was so cool that my music controls would appear when I hit the power button to unlock the screen. Then I thought it was even cooler that I could control Pandora (I forget if it was through lockscreen or through notification bar) the same way.
Now I'm rocking Continuum 5.5 and was wondering if there is something I can do to enable non-stock music players to be controlled through the lockscreen or notification bar without having to add any widgets to my homescreen or without having to download any extra apps. I even hate having to drag the little CD icon down on the lockscreen when I'm using the stock music player. Basically I'm really lazy and would like to control both Pandora and my new Google Music app through the notification bar and hopefully even the lockscreen and I'm very picky about having widgets and such.
tl;dr: can I control non-stock music apps through lockscreen and/or notification bar without having to download any apps or add any widgets?
I would live that too, my stock music player controls dissapeared when I unlock the screen now
Check out Power Amp in the market. Does what your asking and more
Now if it only was a light sabor too....
I know Symply and Subpression did this for all lock screens. Samsung based lock screens work with Samsung player, other lock screens work with any other player, don't know for sure Pandora, but I thought they did. I ran symply for a while, buts its not as stable as continuum.

Well... the whole point is that I don't want to download any extra apps other than the ones I use, i.e. Pandora and Google Music. Besides, I've used PowerAMP in the past, when it was still free and I thought it sucked. Way too bloated with crap I don't need and a terrible UI.

I've tried all the lockscreens that come with Continuum 5.5 with Pandora, Google Music, and Winamp, and none of them had controls on the lockscreen. I'm also wanting controls in the notification bar again, I miss that too.
I see that in the description for the "Obsession" ROM it says that a few of its lockscreens will work with ANY non-Samsung music player. Can someone running that ROM confirm whether it'll give me lockscreen controls for Pandora and/or Google Music? Thanks.
Did we find a solution to this???
Continuum 5.6 has music controls on lock screen. Not sure about pandora though. I'll check it out in a few

Yep works with pandora

So to answer your question, you can upgrade to continuum 5.6 and that will give you like four different lock screens that will have music controls for non-stock music players and pandora on the lock screen. As far as notification controls, they don't seem to be there.

Wow, the music controls only work on the Epic and Glass lockscreens. Lol...

if you are referring to stock music player and continuum 5.6 then yes. But on 5.6 there is 9 lock screens., and several have music controls that work with any non-stock music player. Goto settings/lockscreen menu/lockscreen

Nope, I'm on Mosaic IV.
How do you get the miui lock screen to work on continuum 5.6 to look like the screen shots? Mine just has the lock slider on the left and the volume slider on the right. No music controls, and doesn't have the buttons like all the miui screen shots have.

Try posting in the rom's Q&A thread
Just added smart notifications to Media Utilities which basically adds notification controls to applications that have not added them yet like Pandora. Will automatically hide notifications if you switch the anther media app.

Is there a way of completely removing the music player notification from the drop down menu because I no longer use the stock music player?
I know there is a thread that does this but that only removed the controls, not the whole notification.
I am using nova v8
thanks
I know this is not a solution, but a suggestion - well, switch to cyanogenmod, it will give you freedom of all the customization.
have you open the music player->setting/option ?

I see no reason to swtich from Nova v8 - I get great performance, battery life, lag free flash in browser and have heavily customised it to my liking so theres really no reason why I would move from a stable rom to a cm nightly!

that is buggy and always switches back if you reboot phone/close the app/ use another music player.
I didn't find any setting to turn the notification off in Music/Settings.
Anyway, do you try to remove the stock music player (by Titanium Backup, or SystemappRemover, etc.) and install another as as replacement? I wonder will it work?
OT: speaking of CM, there is a way to customize the notofication bar? Beacause either im blind or dumb but i couldnt get to find it.

I have the exact same problem.
The controls in the dropdown menu can be disabled in the stock music player settings but when the player is frozen/uninstalled the controls come back!
I wanted to choose a different player but this bothered me so much that i am stuck with the default one...
If someone has the knowledge to disable the controls on the drop down menu once and for all, please help!

try UOT Kitchen to customize your notif area
I am running the Ultimate rom, which is silky smooth. My only question is I love the stock music player at the bottom of my lockscreen. How can I put the music player back on the bottom of my lockscreen? I think it's just easy access for me to use. Thanks in advance for any help.
isnt there lockscreen shortcuts option

That will bring up my mp3 player and then have to go into it. Before, it will just bring up the rewind, play and forward button only. I will play around with it now and see what I can do. I just got my note and still haven't taking full advantage of it yet. lol
Well, I had enough with my stock rom,
The only thing that stop me from moving on to costume roms is the stock music player.
He is a bit ugly and the sound quality is not that good but he have some great features
Like controlling the volume without opening the screen and the small control menu
In the lock screen witch enable u to do pretty much anything without passing the lock screen.
Both of them r vey useful (like when u in the gym/working out etc..)
So….
1. Is it possible to import it from the stock rom to other costume roms ??
2. Since I think I know the answer (NOOO ) anybody know another music app that can do this stuff?
Thanks…

Do you mean using the volume rocker? I guess that works on every single app

I believe you mean the notification widget? Can't recall the controls being on the lockscreen in stock.. Most apps these days have that function too. 4.2+ ROMs do put your music controls on the lockscreen though! In in CM based ROMs you can also skip to the next song by holding the VOL+ button while the screen is off.
I personally use Google Play Music, and it has all the functions I need. (except for a sleep timer...)
Hope this helps!
I doubt it since alternatives from poweramp to fusion music player all annihilate with no competition the stock music app...

i didn't know that in 4.2+ ROMs all this options are built in so...
i guess all that is left for me is to choose costume karnel and costume rom and flash
thanks ............
This had happened to me at some point last year and I found the setting to get rid of it but now I can't find it please let me know where it is in settings thank you very much. I have already checked settings > lockscreen > widgets and music is disabled. Media player still exists on lockscreen.

While the media is playing, there is no way to disable the widget. It's one of those "features"!

I've had this phone for over a year and I was able to disable it before and had it functioning without that widget on the lock screen for the last year straight.
So what you said couldn't possibly be true as I did have it resolved. Just the stupid update created a regression.
