I use the magazine unlock as I like some of the options that are in there, but the music player for Google Play music is terrible, anyone else found this?
I'd like to know if anyone uses a theme that shows the music artwork on the lockscreen??
I am not aware of any way.
I use Echo Lockscreen from the play store as that gives me a better control but no artwork.

Nils lockscreen notifications + xperia music player works great with the stock lockscreen. Gives you full control over all notifications.
The main issue I am suffering is not being able to turn off the stock lockscreen, something to do with encryption which is an annoyance.

So I'm looking for a simplistic music control app for my lock screen or an app which lets you customize the look of the (play, next, previous) buttons. Any suggestions and help will be gladly appreciated.
I'm in the middle of porting the lockscreen mod which enables the player on the lockscreen. Its in alpha stage now, but the three lock screens that work two have music controls. I can let you flash where its at so far.

Pure music Widget from the Market will give you a nice, simplistic set of music control widgets which can then be skinned. It's capable of being used with various Android music apps, so check the details of it in the Market to see if it'll work with your music app of choice.
It does not have the ability to natively put music controls on the lockscreen. Usually for that, you have to either use a music app that can do it (like PowerAMP or PlayerPro) or you can use another app called WidgetLocker that will enable you to put whatever widgets you want onto the replacement lockscreen that WidgetLocker creates on your phone.

I only need the lock screen mod not the whole cm7 mod. I'm happy with simple minimal gingerbread ui but I think that they really drop the ball without this non-music lock screen control feature. Having to unlock phone just to more forward a track or tap music widget just to move back a track is a real pain.

I have a working ICS from on my captivate (not sure which I can send screenshots) with built in google music lock screen controls. Problem is that while it shows the album art, it replaces my wallpaper with plain black and it looks really terrible. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to disable these lock screen controls. Thanks
You can try checking out the settings within the music application, but I'm pretty sure that's just the way it is.
Try out some other music applications. I use Poweramp which is a paid app, but there are some good free customizable ones.
So I have tasker and widget lockscreen apps
I was wondering if there was a way to make the music widget only appear on the lockscreen when music is playing? or if tasker is not needed that would be a plus since im quite noob and my profiles there are super simple heh.
Probably it's a problem with your app.
Because i have the stock lockscreen and the music widget there is also if the music is in pause.

i know in the stock lockscreen its not there when you are not playing. but thats stock.
Im trying to use Widget Locker Lockscreen and was hoping there would be a way to have something similar to that maybe by using tasker?, but without tasker that would be the best as i said im noob haha.
just an invisible widget for music would be the best! and it only appears when music is playing
I thinks is difficoult/impossible
Hi
I am using Locker Master and wated to add the music widget (using Walkman player) to the lock screen while music is playing. Unable to find a way to do that.
I also disabled Locker Master and tried to add the widget to the Xperia Lock screen, but it didn't show up in the list of widgets that could be added.
So, how do I add a simple music control to the lock screen? I remember being able to have this on my HTC Legend which was running GingerBread. Things should have gotten simpler with progress, but I seem to be struggling to do seemingly simple stuff with this version of Android (4.4.4).
Thanks in advance.

If all you want is the widget when music is actually playing, then just use the default Sony lockscreen - the widget appears automatically when playing media from Sony apps and others. Swipe right to get back to the clock. Swipe down to see a larger version (with lockscreen widgets enabled). Long press to see scrub control. That's about it.
Hi,
my first post here on XDA forums, so a big hello to you all. I want to create my own music player widget with Kustom Widgets and also wanna add some toggles for
quicksettings etc. As for the quicksettings, i used the notification toggle app, which worked great when installed as a system app, but i wanna control them only from one app, KWGT.
I know there is some issue with direct accessing these toggles from widgets, but thats all i know since i dont even know how these toggle- and media control functions are named.
So i cant even search to get detailed informations. Now when i try to control my music player from KWGT, nothing happens - except when i previously started the music player and press
play and pause one time. After that i can control it with my self made buttons from KWGT. As for the quicksetting toggles, none is working. KWGT is installed as a system app and also has
permission to access player functions and toggles.
So my questions are: How are these controls named excactly and are there any general solutions? Is this issue because of Sony's UI restriction? Just for the record, im using a rooted Z1
locked bootloader with DStrikers Rom 5.1.1.
Thanks in advance!
