I have been looking for a media controller widget w/ volume controls specifically for controlling pandora. Just like the media app already on the device, except as a widget. Has anyone come across one yet?

I've been looking for a widget that works somewhat like the Media controller app..
It seems like the Samsung app can control everything from podcast players and Audible to music players like; Spotify, Wimp and Google playMusic.
Is it so hard to make a widget that will do the same?
If i could which for one more thing, it would be that the widget where able to show file name/info, but i understand that every app has it's own way of showing this..
I'm running null_ 17 btw..
why do you guys need a widget for that? gear has a really small display, i prefer to press media controller shortcut app and have it fullscreen than some small widget..

Can people out there share some ideas about what is in their opinion the best music player while driving and using the car dock?
I like the size of the buttons in car home, it would be nice if a music app or widget has the same button sizes.
Rooted on latest king-o-rama rom using adw.
Thanks!

I currently use the Music Mod for the stock music player. Music Mod
I use that with gestures and my car dock. So when i'm driving i just swipe across the screen to change songs, and i don't have to try to aim my finger at the next button while driving
I use that as Well, just wanna make sure I'm not missing out on something better

I just use the music mod that comes standard with CM6 and double click the trackball to skip songs. Works for me, although I must say, I haven't found a music app that I actually like. I miss my cowon features. >.>
Loving the ROM so far, the only thing I miss is the ability to control the music app (back/previous, play/pause, forward/next) from the lock screen, and the sense calendar widget.
Is there a free music player or app that allows this? Seems CM6 has the option, but I would really like to stick with aospMOD.

I believe mixzing and a few others do
Winamp does and I believe doubletwist does, now. Can't remember about that one, though.

you could look at button remapper app (for hardware buttons) or remoter app (has the buttons but you would also need widgetlocker app and stock music 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.

When I updated my s4 active to 4.4 I no longer see the Samsung music widget on the list of lock screen widgets, just watch on, calendar, s health and a few other apps but not the music widget. Anybody having this problem or know of a fix
I also do not have the option of putting a samsung music widget on the lock screen. This might be because 4.4 automatically detects most media apps and puts forward, play/pause and backwards controls on the lock screen for whatever app has media playing so samsung may have decided there is no need to include a music widget. Of course I could be completely wrong, but that seems like the most logical reason to me.

Hey all, I'm on the latest update there is for my C6903 and I have just noticed the music player controls no longer show on the lock screen when music is playing. It's not the end of the world as my headphones have music controls on them but it seems odd after all this time for them to be gone.
I've tried all the usual methods of adding widgets to the home screen but nothing changes, the clock remains!

Hi,
Do you have SmartKey installed on your phone by any chance? I've noticed that since the last update, the music control widget has disappeared from the lock screen which is quite annoying if you're using a headset with no remote control as I do. The only solution I've come upon until now is uninstalling this app. It used to be that if you disabled the 'music mode' on the app, the music control widget would reappear but that doesn't work anymore.

No problem. This thing drove me crazy once. By the way, I used my Xperia Z1 today and although I have SmartKey installed, the music widget is back on the lock screen. There has been no update since the last time I've used the phone and I haven't changed any of the settings. Quite weird...
