Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to disable the hardware buttons for a specific app? I have 2 media players, and would like to use one (Shuttle) for listening exclusively to class lectures so that the position in the hours-long track is remembered when I exit the app. The other app is Player Pro, and I use it to listen to music.
The problem arises when both of these music apps conflict when using the hardware buttons for play and pause. One pauses while the other begins to play. I use Xposed Additions to map the hardware buttons. I would like to disable the hardware buttons for one app (preferably Shuttle) and keep the hardware buttons for the other music app and everything else.
I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 T-Mobile SGH-T889 with a rooted Android Kitkat Ditto Note 4.4 ROM.
Is it possible to disable the hardware music buttons for one specific app?

Moto X Dev Ed. I hate the G**gle Player app. I don't want them knowing what I'm listening to. (How does it frickin' bypass Android Firewall to get album covers?!) And it has no volume control through headphones.
I tried Phonon, but it doesn't allow you to choose a folder to play, which is a vital function for me.
Walkman crashes on this phone, at least this Tit-restored one I have, and it's not in the Play store.
Anyone recommend an audio app which allows you to coose a folder of music to play?
Is there a reason my volume buttons have no effect on the level in headphones? (it's too quiet)

Have you tried PowerAmp? There are free and pay versions.
I don't think volume control headphones work with android phones.. at least they never have in my experience (unless maybe they're specially made for it) Only pause/play button works. I don't think its an app issue, its android itself I believe.
As far as players I use a simple less known app called Maple which lets you play from folders and has some cool features like pitch and speed adjustment, and its free.

I have used PowerAmp in free version. Happy feel to using it..
PowerAmp expires after two weeks.
Maple is OK, although I'm still trying to figure out how to play a directory and switch directories.
Also, these are not volume-adjust headphones. They are just regular Koss headphones, but the phone's volume control doesn't have any influence over the volume in them. Controls do work with the phone speaker.
JetAudio. I like it on my Windows machines, and I think I'm going to on KK too. I think it'll play a directory since it plays 'albums' in a directory.

Im not sure if its a glitch with my Pebble, or a problem with the software in general. Using the stock music player, i am able to correctly use the controls; play/pause, next and previous track. however even though the Pebble is set to use PowerAmp for my music, the display only shows one song and it isnt the song thats currently playing. Nor does it change when i go to different tracks
Anyone else have this issue? any resolutions? I also wouldnt mind a recommendation for a music app to throw on here, the only ones that looked decent are paid
Your music app on your phone isn't broadcasting AVRCP, common issue.
To fix this and get a vastly superior music control watch app - get Music Boss for Pebble.

You don't need to pay money for silly music pebble apps. Go to the bluetooth settings in power amp and toggle metachange intent to ON. That is all.

I would hardly call the best App for Pebble, written by the most responsive and user focused Pebble developer, "silly".

Title.
I usually listen to music while outside so I use this a lot, but my current earphones don't have any buttons. I used to be able to do this on my older Xperia (custom ROM) so I was a bit surprised that it didn't work with Z3C.
I kinda like using the Walkman app but I change if there's no other way
Thanks.
Try Degauss app from the Play Store. It's also configurable and low on resources
Neither of them work. They make the toast notifications but don't do anything. I used the Xposed MTCB module but that doesn't work with pocket casts and it only works with one app at a time. Does anyone know how to use those media control apps? I have a youtube video below which shows me attempting and failing with the HEADUNIT and CARSERVICE apps.
I have exactly the same problem. Have you found any solution?
Do you have any functionality with those buttons in any application at all? Or is it just those 2?
Have you tried this with another music application, such as PowerAmp?
Have you updated the ROM to the latest version from Malaysk?
Also, what is the make and model of the headunit you have?
First thought I had is, quit the one app that you're using, then open another app and try again. The stereo may get "confused" if you have more than one app open at a time.
I recently purchased a 11-RQ0364E-UK-A Pumpkin 8 Inch for my 2010 VW Scirocco. Turned out to be a cracking unit and will likely write up a review for it shortly but in the meantime I've got a few technical issues that I couldn't find answers to on here so would like some help with if possible:
1) I have the option in setting to change steering wheel controls but the buttons don't work here. They work normally to change tracks (except google play music), volume, mute and bluetooth. When I click on the buttons in the menu they flash but then the steering wheel just maintains its same controls as if it doesn't recognize them in the system menu?
2) Google play music does skip / forward next track (or rewind), is there anyway to add these controls?
3) In the standard apps, i.e. radio, DAB, music, the audio will stop / mute if you switch to another system app so there is not layers audio (multiple sources playing simultaneously). This doesn't apply to Google Play Music, is there any way to add this feature?
4)Reversing sensor audio stays on for a good few seconds after operation has completed so you still get the tone. Anyway of shortening this? Or even quietening?
Any help appreciated!
