On my ipod touch I used "Activator" to remap by home key when it was locked to allow click and hold to pause/play, and doubleclick to skip tracks. Is there any mod for the Vibrant with similar functionality? I saw that Eliot Stocker's MusicMod does this for skipping tracks, but I dont see how to get it to work and id like a play/pause more than anything. The reason I ask is because it is much nicer to switch songs without having to pull the phone out and operate it via the touch screen when you could just tap a button in your pocket
Thanks!
Iv been looking to remap my volume keys like of you hold it instead of tapping to change songs, the reason I wanna do this cause im a motorcycle rider and its hard to take my phone out of my pocket to change songs while im riding.

On phone app, choose Tools->Options->More
Hardware button Lock
'Lock all buttons except Power'
Sorry, misunderstood.
You want to lock it whilst it is powered on. Don't know how.
On PocketDiVX and PocketMVP, you can map the hardware buttons. So if you map both hardware buttons and all directions on the rocker keypad to something which doesn't interfere with MP3 playing (such as 'increase brightness'), you're all set.
I would keep one (maybe a rocker direction?) mapped to toggling the screen on and off to save batteries though.
sorry for souding stupid but...
WHAT???? LOL :lol:
i have no idea what you said.....sorry, i have only had my xda 1 day and i dont even know how to use msn messenger yet
lol.....if u could explain in dumb terms...i would be greatful

well windows have smart key settings like if you
hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key the active problem close
and if you hold down CTRL + ALT and hit DELETE it reboot if it's win9X and give you the taskmanager if it's NT/2k/XP
some you can set yourself to do what ever action you want it to
well it's the the same thing with your XDA when you are running a program you can change what the buttons on your device does
so when you are listening to mp3 then you set the keys actions to something which does not interfear with your music playing, you can prob set these up in the program you use to listen to music with
and in the end a7GH add that it would prob be a good idea to set on off the buttons action to turning off the display to save juice
Hi
How can I configure the Volume Buttons, so that the next song is played when i press one of them longer?

Bump. Was going to post the same question.
I miss the blackberry style song change features with just your volume button. Turning the phone on, going through the security password, than hitting next on the screen is just a mission sometimes when your phones in your pocket and want a quick change.
Anyone script anything or have an app that manages to do just this?
This is hard to do..
But you ca try it with this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
That would change some remaps in my opinion, but, I dont think it gives an option to press vs holding down a button. Pressing it to change the volume and holding it to change the song is where it's at.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Oh,..
For this you have to write a new module/kernel for that .. and thats hard
I couldnt do that, but i think other guys here could do that
I really hope someone can. lol I wish I was into that field of line, (ability to create things).
There is this app for iPod Touch called Activator (only when jailbroken) which lets me bind lots of controls to different buttons. For instance, when I hold the volume up key, I can set the device to play the next song. Or when I hold the power key, it toggles rotation on or off.
Now I'm wondering if there is such an app for android, especially to control the music (previous/next song, pause, play, ..) with hardware keys.
Hi everyone
I just changed the screen of my hd2 but when I put the cover the volume button doesn't work.. I can push it with a sharp object (screwdriver, toothpick) so in fact it's not broken but it's a bit boring tu up and down the volume..
I'm on android (ICS) and I want to know if there are any alternative "tweaks" to replace the "real" button ? Like on iPhone when your home button is broken you can download a tweak via cydia..
If someone can help me, it will be great
Thaaanks !
PS : Sorry for my english..
no one know ?
There are widgets and apps that you can use to change volume within Android, but if your device uses the volume buttons for CWM then you'll need the physical buttons working.
Well you should be able to go to your settings and volume options and adjust it that way, alternatively clicking on the clock on the bottom right corner should bring up a menu that volume is normally located.
@spunker88 Yes for cwm I use the physical buttons.. What's the names of the apps and widgets ?
@Bernie Nolan Thanks dude
But the main problem is when I'm doing a phone call I can't up/down the volume..
I use Volume widget, you can select which volume you want to adjust (music, ringer, etc) or have a widget with multiple volume toggles. Its pretty nice and free. During a call you would have to go back to the home screen to change volume.

Thank you I just downloaded an app on the market
I'm coming from a Note 3 which ran Cyanogenmod. Within the settings, there was an option that let me use the volume up and down buttons to rewind and fast forward songs without having to wake my phone up. This came in handy for obvious reasons when I was driving or commuting to school.
I don't see any options in the phone's settings that allow me to do this, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right places? I can't take my eyes off the road every time I want to change the song. I haven't rooted just yet, but I am planning to. I don't want to flash a custom rom because I don't want to lose LG's camera app. If there isn't an option in LG's settings, is there an Xposed mod that will allow the volume buttons to control music?
Gravitybox / Physical Button Music Control both work.
