Howdy guys,
So I was wondering if there was any way to implement the long press volume to skip tracks into JT's stock gingerbread. I know there are a few music players out there that do this as a feature but be it because of money or generally not liking thing I was hoping to be able to do this with the stock player. Any advice?

I'm pretty sure if the screen is off and you have music playing, you can use the volume rocker to skip.

Hi,
I really, really miss the function of being able to skip to the next track by holding down the volume buttons, like on my blackberry, so I don't have to take the phone out of my pocket, wake it up, unlock screen, and manually press the "next" button just to skip to the next track (I am the type of person that skips tracks often, and do not like playlists).
Since I use custom in ear monitors, I don't have the remote on the earphone like the stock earphones do.
On the web, someone mentioned that all I have to do is root the phone, and install an app such as buttonremapper, and then I will be able to remap the volume button to act as a music track skipper when being long pressed.
Is this true? I much rather not flash to another rom.
Thank you soooo much!
Cyanogenmod has this functionality. Currently, nothing other than Cyanogen will do what you want.
If you want to keep stock ROM though, your only choice is PlayerPro. It has a lockscreen widget that lets you use the volume buttons to skip tracks when the device is locked.
Ah, thank you for your reply! I had actually used Player Pro when I first gotten my SG2, but switched to Poweramp because of the better EQ.
I have downloaded Player Pro again, and the skip song function works great. I just wish it works while the screen is on, and works with widgetlocker instead of its own locker. But I know I can't have everything.
Thank you again.
No problem. Latest version of PlayerPro also introduced a shake to skip songs feature, so you can use that to skip songs while another app is active. I tried it and it works.
Once again, thank you so much aydc! You have solved my problem! I will give the shake and bake a try, I just hope people don't think I am weird when they see my hand shaking/baking around in my pocket..
I LOVE this phone! (other then no led notification, and no default music skipping via volume button )
hello just like cm7 and blackberrey
is there an app for controlling my music forward and backword by holding the volume buttons ?
or if there a way tell me please
Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have a SGAce anymore), but I think that CM7 offers this feature in their CMSettings.
i know but i wan't it on stock rom
Yes, you can with PowerAMP

powerAMP
no you didn't get it
i wanna control the music to shift to the next song of the back one wihle the screen is locked
so i don't have getout my phone out of my poket
Hey, I was on CM7 for a while and then switched over to the new eclipse 2.1 and the one thing I really loved about the CM7 was I had control of changing the songs using the volume buttons so I didn't have to actually take out my phone to wake it up to change the song.
Is there a way to have these music controls added onto eclipse? If anyone knows a way, please let me know. Thanks.
wow, your thread reminded me that my old Kyocera 7135 did that (how many years ago was THAT?), what a great feature that was!
Is there any way to get volume rocker music controls without rooting and installing a custom ROM? I've tried apps like PlayerPro and PowerAmp but they don't seem to work for me
I've been looking too. I was hoping there was a flashable MOD that I could add to stock (odex) since at the moment it's the only missing functionality that I'm really wishing I had... I haven't seen anything though...
ive been tryin out the 4.3 roms and there battery sucks on every single one of them, I mostly like the volume rocker too since I listen to music all day. I hope theres a flashable mode to put this on ics.
Is there a general mod that can be loaded to enable media next/previous track control using the volume rocker or is this something that has to be baked into the ROM you're using?
Thanks!
I'm not sure about stock players, but Poweramp has that feature built in (long press to skip to next track). If you've never tried Poweramp, you're missing out. Makes your music sound incredible.

Really only interested in using it for Spotify. I've used ROMs in the past which have included this functionality and worked with pretty much any player (including Spotify), but the ROM I'm on now (GeeWiz Media) doesn't and I'm really missing this feature.
I would suggest posting this question on his thread over in the development forum, he's been pretty good about listening to what people want and implementing features. Couldn't hurt to ask.
