[Q] Change key map - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all,
I use my X10 with Parrot mk9000i, and it happens that when i try to change or pause music from the parrot it only works with mediascape.
It seems the default keymap it's to mediascape.
Does anyone knows out to put it working with the android default music player?
I searched about keymapping but didn't find anything

Anyone???
When a press next or previous key on the bluetooth set it only works if i'm player in mediascape, and i want to change it to the default music player.
Does someone know the commands that should fit on AVRCP.kl file so the orders go to default music player and not to the mediscape?
The commands now are the following:
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
Should I change something in order to command default music player?

why dont u try a different player?
my BT headset's commands are properly intercepted by
3 (cube)
it a decent music player...

I'll try
i like the default player because it's light and fast while mediascape it's a bit slow and complicated around the menus...

Music Widget

Anyone got a music widget that works with the stock touchwiz player? I have tried (and paid for ) phantom music control and it doesn't work properly.
I am running stock KH3 and adw launcher if that makes a difference.
Thanks
You can give Pure Music Widget a try. It works with the stock music player. It's paid though
...try PowerAmp to...

Hey there. I have a related question. I use Power Amp but actually crave the simplicity of the stock music player. Plus I think the sound quality is better. So was looking for a widget for my Widget Locker lock screen, and Pure Music Widget seemed to be the answer. Except...
...am I totally missing something (and in all likelihood I am) or, when you touch the widget from your lock screen, it takes you to the player and not the library? And so from there, is there no way at all to navigate back to your library? Is there a soft key or a menu item or something I'm missing? When you fire up the music player from applications, it starts in your library. So once you've selected your music, you go to the player. But because you started in the library, you can always navigate back to it using the 'Back' hardware button. But Pure Music Widget starts you in the player, so when you hit 'Back', it takes you back to the lock screen, not the library. Which seems to mean there is no way to select any music if you start the music player from Pure Music Widget? You can only play what is currently queued. I can't see any way from the player or the menus that you can get back to your library if you start in the music player itself. It's driving me nuts! Surely I'm mistaken!?

Unfortunately that's the way it is or I also have not found a setting or way to overcome it. Sorry I couldn't help.

[Q] no music player controls over locked screen?

(Official 2.3.5 firmware)
I have a password lock setup on my S2 and when it's locked there is no music player controls when listening to music using the stock music app!
Or am I missing a setting/option somewhere? Thanks

Maybe it's because of the password, have you tried it without the password lock, report your findings.....
Ok, it's there, without the lock!
But may be I was spoiled by HTC devices and iPhone that came before, I want the password lock AND the music control on the lock screen together.
Is there a solution or alternative?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work with my Plantronics Savor M1100 bluetooth earphone.
I tried a couple of free apps that claimed to have lockscreen controls and MixZing worked quite well. DoubleTwist has a better interface than MixZing but it didn't show any controls on my S2.

[Q] Bluetooth headphone controls, plus question about stock music app

Hi,
I installed Winamp Pro on my Galaxy S3 (running 4.0.4), but when I try and use the controls on my Bluetooth headphones it launches the stock music app. Is there any way to set it so that those controls control Winamp instead? I have the relevant check box checked in Winamp, but it doesn't appear to make a difference.
Also, when the stock music app is launched via the icon in the regular app list, you are taken to a view where at the top of the screen it says All, Playlists, Albums, Artists etc. How do you get to this view if you launch the app via the widget?
When I click on the widget it brings up the main screen, but it displays the album art for the current track along with player controls. I can scroll left and right to change tracks, but only for that particular album. If I press the little on-screen button (bottom-right) I get a text based list of tracks, but again, for the current album only. I can't get to that screen that has "All, Playlists, Albums" etc. at the top in order to select a different album or browse my library.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi,
For the second part of your query, I believe this is a bug (which I intend to contact Samsung about today).
There is a way around it: from the screen you've described, there should be a button at the right under the album art (next to the shuffle and repeat controls). If you press this it takes you to the "music square" screen. At the top you will now have the menu for playlists, artists, etc.
On mine, in order to not have to scroll across the top, I've disabled everything except Artist and Music Square. Unfortunately you can't disable music square as this also disables the button!
As for the first part, I'm not entirely sure for Winamp but the option to respond to Bluetooth (or headset) controls should be within the Winamp settings (something like "override headset buttons" or something.
Thanks for the reply.
After starting this thread, I noticed that "music square" workaround when watching YouTube vids of people showing off the phone. I had hidden that option, which is why I was finding it impossible to get back to that main menu!
As for Winamp, I've switched to another player now, but I believe Winamp has now been updated to fix the problem I mentioned.

Any music players with mappable keys?

I'm wondering if there are any music players for Android that have completely customizable keys, like you see in a lot of game emulators. I.E., if I have a Blackberry-style phone design, I'm looking to map Next Song to "P," Previous Song to "O," and stuff like that. I could do that in Windows Mobile in the stock Windows Media Player, but I haven't found anything in Android other than programs that permanently remap your keys in EVERY part of the phone. I'm looking for something that lets me remap the keys ONLY in the music player app. Is there anything like this? Thanks!

Poweramp and Second Screen

I really want my default music player on my second screen music function to be poweramp but when I go to select default music player it does not give me the option. Only shows "Play Music, Music Player (stock) , Spotify
Is there a work around for this cause when I manually ooen power amp it does show on the second screen. Just can't assign it as a default

Hmmm, how do you even reselect default media player?

You go to setting, second screen, tap on show when main screen on, all option is there for you to set, but I want the player control if the screen is off, seems like it's not available.
Yep, same issue with the v30 & 20. Unfortunately LG wants the crap stock player to have center stage with its core software. Not much can be done without a root. And even then, I'm not sure
