Long press keys to change tracks - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello community I'm looking for an xposed module (or another way if possible) to be able to change music tracks by long pressing the volume keys. I know this is an option in many custom ROMs and is something I am quite accustomed to from my previous device. Any and all help is appreciated

[Mod][SteelDroid 4.8]VolumeLongPress skip song

Huhuuuuuu guys,
since some weeks i looking for a app or flash able zip that let me skip tracks with the volume buttons when screen is locked.
i really like it when i was using AOKP but i going back to gingerbread because of the camera problems.
found some files(not for droid 3) that crash my system ;/
also found a app called tactile player. but i not like it (u need to double press volumen button for skip a track)
an other nice found was this tutorial about remapping hw buttons (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517260)
but you only have 2 options wake & wake_dropped
maybe someone of you guys could help me?
Edit: iam on steel droid 4.8
i decomplied the android.policy.jar and will try to do it myself ;/
i not have much time befor the weekend
and will tell u guys if there is something going up
and help required ;]
Update: The end isnt far away. Atm the VolumeButtons change the track when screen is off and Control the Sound when Screen is on. But i still work on it.
For these who wanne take a look at it i post the smali files.
Credits i give to all people who share his modified android.policy.jar online.

You should use playerpro. The functions are amazing and u have the option (in settings) to press up to change songs and long press for volume.I have mine reversed tho so volume works by pressing up/down and long press to change song. It only takes a second to change songs. Great app. Check it out

[Q] Use the headphone controls to change tracks?

My old (HTC) phone used the controls on the headphone cable to move between tracks, instead of change volume.
I have to admit I prefer things that way - so would like to know if there's any way to change the behaviour on my Mini.
Any suggestions (apps, mods to flash, etc) appreciated

Tried holding the buttons?
I had those also on my previous phone (Motorola) and it worked by long pressing those buttons.

Take a look at my thread here, there's a "press volume keys to skip tracks mod" and there's a chance it could also work with your headphones control http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39282702#post39282702

Headphones to switch songs with custom rom

I just recently switched from an iPhone 5 to an Sprint HTC One and flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.2 onto it, the headphones work to switch songs but they do not work to turn the volume up or down. I have tried long presses on it, I am using the Apple Earpods, I am willing to switch headphones if some work for volume + and volume -. Also does anyone know any other custom roms besides CM that work with song switching, anyone that has viperrom or any other custom rom that can tell me? I have tried the apps like Headset Controller and JAYS on the stock rom and they did not work as well as CM did, any advice is appreciated thanks!
There's a setting in there somewhere. I forget exactly. On PACROM, it's under lockscreen settings. Check around, you should find it.

I found settings for long press back button and long press home button but not for headset options, and those two options do not increase or decrease volume. Thanks though.

[Q] Google now command to change the track

Hello All,
As there is no support of mic button to change the track, also there is no way to change it using any volume key, does anyone know if there is a voice command to change track using Google Now?
Or any other good suggestion is welcome that can help me change track without having to press power button and press Forward button on payer.
Thanks,
Himanshu
Best way would probably be using tasker and make an app called next track or something.
You'd say OK Google now, open next track. Or open app next track.
Probably not many other options.

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
