Well you can use the widget from the Winamp app, it's pretty slick + useful.

Simple but damn important and useful, True silence. Basically with one click it makes your android completely silent, instead of android's crappy 'silent' mode which leaves the media volume on, and if you go to adjust that manually it will play to you the current level of media, which will be loud and might turn heads towards you..
Also I use rimshot widget for fun, and pure grid calendar, but it costs so.

For quite mode I use "phone silencer" <- you can set when the silence mode will be switched off
A client with this phone came to me for a problem she had. The thing is that she had the same home screen effect as sense for htc phones and i am shure that she does not have a rooted or modified phone. I tought at first that it was the weather network widget since she had this on her screen but after downloading i see that this is not what made the effect. When you want to select a shortcut or widget on the home screen with this effect you have to tap twice to disengage the effect. Does anyone know of what widget or app im talking about because i really want this one!!!

One widget for all Apps play/pause/skip controls?

I'm sure many ex-iphone owners ask this question, but is there an app/widget that gives you play/pause/skip control to whatever app is using the media player?
I use Spotify, Pandora, Google Music & BeyondPod on a regular basis and hate that i have to have 4 widgets each with their own media controls.
Are their any universal media apps that have widgets to control whatever is playing like the iPhone does?
Thanks

I think this is what you're looking for...Phantom Music Control: https://market.android.com/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget
Hope that helps!

Yep that's the type of thing, is that the only one you know of?
Hiding isn't really a deal killer (although it's a nice feature), something that shows album art would be pretty great too.
Thanks for the help

get MiUI lockscreen media control
I also was looking for something like this. But to take it a step further, I wanted it accessible from any application just like on the iPhone when you double tap the home button. I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing, switch apps over to the home screen (for a widget) or to the app to change tracks or pause the music.
An easy way (I thought) to have this done would be to have controls in the notification bar. However, it doesn't seem possible on gingerbread, or at least I haven't found anything. I guess ICS has that by default though so at least there's hope for the future.

Check out Quick Desk in the market.

It you double tap Home it brings up a screen where you can add widgets or shortcuts. You can invoke it anytime. Very handy for say volume or music widgets while playing a game.

[REQ] Google Music Lock Screen Widget / Volume Control to Skip Tracks

I'm an avid fan of XDA and in particular viperROM (Redline v2.5 RC2); this ROM is amazing and the best I've tried.. smooth, fast and great support.
I don't see many options for Google Music as far as widgets and lock screen widgets are concerned; I'd like to request a Sense version of a Google Music lock screen widget.
Additionally, skipping tracks using volume control would help me keep my hands on the steering wheel and my passengers from b*tching.
Thanks!

At work now but... I know I've seen an app for a google music lock screen widget and another app (or mod?) that lets you skip with volume controls... I'm not 100% sure on the last one though... if I remember the names or get a chance to look them up I'll let you know.
EDIT: ok, Phantom Music Control is the app for lock screen widget, but is meant to work with widget locker. Still works for google music.

[Q] Change Internet App on Homescreen OS 2.3.6

I have a GP 4.2 and want to know how I can change the Internet App on the Homescreen below the dots for changing screen pages?
I am really liking my first android more than my itouch but I DDID like changing the default homescreen apps on the iTouch. I changed the default Media Players and Web browser on it.
I would like to change the default Internet icon to launch a better web browser. For that matter I would change the Video player to launch something else as well.
Thanks.
Open your app drawer press menu -> edit and drag and drop icons to your dock and rearrange your app drawer how you wish

Thanks. That was easy! Can you recommend a good "Beginners book that might cover things like this (It was NOT in the docs that came with my unit.)
Now my last complaint with Android is finding a good replacement for the Audio player that has navigation similar to an iphone wher eI can navigate albums in and out like folders instead of everything being in just a really looooooong list!
Thanks again.
Personally i have my 2500+ song uploaded to google play music, its a great cloud music player. And i dont know of an in- depth guide to android mainly because i just figured it out as i went, i bricked my player within the first 2 days of having it so i had to get good, fast. Just lurk a bit, youll get the hang of it.

Personally use player pro for my music for quality and album art customization. Easy to navigate.
Here is a good guide for you to look at as well.

Lockscreen Music Issue

Hey guys,
I have an international htc one x+ running stock 4.2.2 not unlocked not rooted.
I have widget lockscreen enabled with brilliant quotes applied as the widget. Now when i play music from the htc music app the lockscreen gets the small 4x1 music widget to switch tracks through lockscreen. This is all fine when am using the htc sense as the default launcher.
But for some reason when i use Aviate or themer beta and play my tracks from these launchers or even access the music app from these launchers the music widget no longer appears on the lockscreen or when it does it just not responds. This also happens when i use the dashlock extension.
Its getting pretty annoying because i want to try these launchers and extensions
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks. Cheers!

I think you should ask the developers of these tools. I'm sure you are not the only one facing this problem, so I'm sure they can help you more.
I was having trouble with a few launchers so i assumed it was a one x+ bug.. :/
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk
Of course it can be a bug made by HTC. They heavily changed some Android code and thanks to it now we have "bugs for free". For example, the default android widget lockscreen allows you to place many widgets on the screen. HTC's modification allows only one widget + it will be hidden if there is no network, low battery or music being played .
You should still ask the app developers about this. Maybe they will at least response "yeah we know it. Blame htc".

Yeah! That whole widget limit thing really sucks. [emoji53]
I have dropped a question to the themer team just waiting for a reply.
I was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem. [emoji21]

But if you want to change the music track which is actually playing... Why even unlock the screen? I saw some apps for controlling the music player without unlocking the screen like "wave a hand over the phone to change the track" or "use volume buttons to switch songs".
