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?

How to wake phone up with trackball?

Hey all,
Anyone know what I need to do to make it where I can press my trackball to wake my phone instead of the top button? Thanks a lot!

you have to have a custom rom installed in order to do this, the standard vanilla android will not allow you to do this.

Installing CyanogenMod would accomplish what you are asking for.

please post this in the correct forum next time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=603

Actually most if not all lock screen replacements do this if you don't want to root.. though you are losing your lock screen for some crappy alternative.

Thanks for the advice...I will put it in Q&A next time my bad sorry!
I just manually installed Froyo 2.2 FRF72 on my N1...I heard there is a prerooted rom you can install but I think its Modaco only? Do you think Cyan will release something like this soon thats prerooted cause I would love to get some cyan and have the trackball thing working!
THANKS for your comments!

Think Cyanogen is going to be away this week but cm6 test0 is being tested somewhere It will come soon enough

No need to root your N1, just install [Lockbot Pro v1.14.1.apk]
Lockbot Pro can wake up your phone by pressing trackball or volume keys

You can also try "No Lock", which is free.
It removes the need to slide to unlock and also allows Trackball and Volume Keys wake.
It also has a widget for a quick activation of the normal waking, so the phone doesn't wake all the time when it's in your pocket.

FlyScreen is another. And this is the third "how do I wake by tracbkall?" thread I've seen in a few weeks....

Thanks vitorjna for the info
I just stumbled on this thread by accident but your suggestion is really appreciated!
I'd always hate having my Nexus One music going in my car and having to go through the unlock screen if I wanted to skip a song. I even started using Cubed music player since it has a lockscreen widget but the music player itself is pretty bad. Now I can go back to using the regular music player that I like more without having to worry about driving unsafe.

No Lock works but I don't want my Lock Screen removed, I just want wake with trackball.
Flyscreen is crap, I don't want the widgets so I removed them but now I get an update thing every time I get to the lockscreen.
Is there any app like No Lock but with lockscreen?

The way these programs work is that they dismiss the system keyguard (Because the keyguard is what prevents the phone from waking when the trackball is pressed). This is done by creating a window with FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD. Then the system keyguard is gone and the app can either close, leaving no keyguard (Like no lock), or act as a pseudo keyguard (like flyscreen). There is no way to force the system keyguard to activate again after it's dismissed.
Cyanogen's method is better because it's a custom rom.
If you want to try another lockscreen I can recommend my own WidgetLocker, which has Easy Wake (trackball wake) and has slide to unlock and won't try to download widget updates (It uses actual Android Widgets, not those flyscreen ones, so you can control your music from the lockscreen or put BetterHome there or whatever).

I find I like no lock the best for the moment. Most times I dont want the lock feature but when I do its one tap of the 1x1 widget and its on. One tap and its off on the flipside. Used it on cm as well since I prefer the volume rocker to wake.

Hello,
can you tell me how to setup lockbot pro to wake up when I press the trackball? after a while, nothing I do will turn on my N1, except for the power button. and I hate using the power button to turn on my phone.
Thanks

I've tried "No Lock" and it works well. However its unable to unlock when "pin/password" is enabled.(forced by my exchange email account)
Anyone know of something that can bypass this too ?

Music Player While Locked issue

hello i have a problem i usually use my phone to play music ... now when my phone locks i have to unlock it with my pattern and ect to skip songs its aggravating ... does anyone know a fix for this ?? thanks

Yeah there kind of is. You can remap some buttons to act as pause/play and next track. I made it so I can press the Search button to go to the next track and the Call button to play/pause.
You can learn how to do it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
Read the whole thing. Somewhere in the middle towards the end it goes over the commands for music control. Make sure you pay attention to the last sentence:
The added attribute "WAKE" allows it to complete the action without waking the phone.

thanks alot im going to try to understand this ...... but whats up with the original one .... that pops up on the lock screen is there any way i can add that one ... its more easier lol

Sorry, doubt there is a way to access anything before the lock pattern; that's why the lock pattern is there.

oo even when there was no pattern....the pop up music player still isnt there

What rom are you running? If it is sense based and you're using the htc luck screen, there will be music controls on the lock screen. If it's sense based and you're using vanilla or rotary lock screen, you're out of luck. If you're on darch droid (and probably froyo, but haven't tried), you can hold volume up or down to skip songs when screen is off, but no way to pause/play

thanks for the help ... im using darch .. and im using launcher pro ... it has the regular lock on it ... .. ur trying to tell me i need to have it on the sense home screen? thanks

just hold the volume buttons to skip, and use the hard key remap to change a button to play/pause. You can set a double tap on the track ball to skip forward in the music app.

,.... i just tryed to double click the ball but it didnt work .. with pattern enabled and disabled !!! ... i also have the double click feature checked in the settings of the music player.... im thinking about going to fresh ... and c if this is fixed..

edit i dont have darch i have damage control ...

well i switched to fresh and it works ... only problem now the widget sucks ... its that basic htc one eww
i think the reason it didnt work was because i was using the vanilla music player instead of the old regular music player .... solved !! In order to have the Music player while Phone is locked u Must use the older original music player to listen to music ....

[Q] Need hardware buttons for next/prev track

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to map the hardware buttons (volume rockers) to next and previous track upon long press of those buttons? I started using sgs as my music player after installing winamp.... But I still miss those dedicated hardware keys for changing the tracks while I'm driving.... Also the home button long press as "pause". I know this sounds ridiculous, but there can be a widget to enable or disable this functionalities... So that we can disable during normal usage....

depends on the media player software.

thanks, but i coudln't download from that torrent
I'll report the problem in that thread ...

Checking the lock screen question...

Does this phone have raise to wake? I'm coming from an iphone X and have gotten used to picking up the phone and having the lockscreen wakeup. I know alot of android phones have this as well now.
If it does not have raise to wake, is there a way to check the lockscreen without hitting the power/lock button? I know there's no double tap to wake, but is there another way to check without unlocking the phone?
Also, have they fixed app controls on the lockscreen? I use spotify and stitcher alot, do the play/pause buttons on the lockscreen work? With my previous Mate 9 I had a bunch of issues.
Thanks

Yes it has raise to wake, and yes you can set up the lockscreen to show notification content/music controls.
