[REQ] Skip track via volume press - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I'm searching this function since long time and I just cant' find this function like I would find it.
I would have a function which permit us to skip song with a long press on a volume button and may be return on the previous song with another button pressed.
Well, for the moment, on ROM like 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 V5 by pfonk, there is no perfect solution :
> buy some apk like player pro which need to wake the screen to skip the song
> test all apks called "next track, and co." of the market
> keep a custo'rom with some parts of cyanogen in it (I tested a lot but for daily use, there is always something that goes wrong with me)
I just found some subject on it:

http://miuiandroid.com/forums/showthread.php?7356-MOD-Skip-track-via-volume-press
I hope that someone had some ideas to bring a solution to this problem
Thanks for your time

Some other ROMs have this by default. Mini Cm7 Pro v21 is on CyanogenMod settings.

Simply use PowerAMP that app have it as an option

Really can't see it in PowerAMP, just headset buttons, but nothing about volume buttons...
Are you sure ?
Do I need to buy some new eyes to see it ?

I have seen it before, don't remember if it is a special apps or in the Android settings, but it allows you to skip track by a long press on the camera button

As far as I've used my X10 mini pro on the stock rom I've used this without requiring anything? Default music player and skip with volume buttons
EDIT: Fixed phone model

May be on big X10, I don't know, but not on our X10 Mini Pro

That always worked for me, on cm6 and cm7 roms, I use mortplayer now but used others before and always worked.

Yeah, but except ROM CM6 and CM7, it does not work...

on stock it also worked.. if the rom your using is not based on cyanogen or not stock then ask the developer of it to fix?
I mean if you tried players with that option and still doesnt work then something is missing in the rom to make it work.

2.1.1.Clean.0.0 has all the standard music-related stuff ripped out, player, library, service provider etc. But all can be downloaded from post #2 in it's thread and easily restored.

Well I'm sorry but I test right now on 2.1.1.C.0.0 Official, not the pfonk version....and the official player doesn't respond when I press a long time on volume button... Like I remembered.
But For sure, it could work with playerpro which give this possibility.
The problem with these players is that they don't propose the possibility to skip song with screen off:
you must reactivate it with a little press before a long press to skip song.....
and unfortunaly when you do that, the screen stay on during few seconds.
In this time, the screen respond in my pocket and press "next" on the lockscreen widget (which is necessary to ake work the "skip when volume button pressed".
So... I look for:
a player pretty light which is capable to skip songs thanks to volume button, without reactivate the screen..
or may be a module which could work on official or Clean version of official rom.
Any ideas ?
This file can't be ported or help to my problem ?

i found an app called TactilePlayer in th Android dev thread, will try to find the link for it. But it provides hardware button controls without needing to root/flash rom.
(edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337009 )
Most custom roms that run CyanogenMod have feature built in and can be found under:
Settings > CyanogenMods settings > Input > Volume Button music controls []

Well Well Well, it works pretty well, I test it with UberMusic and even if it's a little special when the user wants increase the volume, it's already better than the playerpro's option.
Anyway, tks for that, I really like it !
If someone find a solution better again, please tell us.

[Q] A Few Questions on Apps and Rooting

Hey guys just got a few quick questions, I know there is a likelihood this has been discussed elsewhere but I've not found the resources.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
That's most of my questions for now, thanks for your help guys :-D.
This is interesting because I am very interested in most of these questions as well. Here is my opinions on each.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
-There is battery icon mods, search for it in the Theme section
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
-The only Rom I know of that can change the long press of the home button is CM7.

I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
-The camera app is safe to remove. I would try Titanium and freeze it first if you're worried.
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
-You might want to detail these better.
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
-I do this through tasker.
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
-Dont know
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
-I dont think this comes in the stock rom. I'm on Cognition which has it.
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
-CM7

As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I will look into tasker, though I was looking for something very light as I only need this one feature.
Rather stick with stock ROM for now, at least until I get a JIG
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry about that thanks.
Just as a quick update, reinstalled the Task manager app and placed the apk back in the system/app folder and it seems to work. Also the battery icon has been updated and looked great :-D.
[*]As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I think you underestimate Titanium, it does more than backups.
Oh I don't use Titanium for my backups, I like always starting from fresh, so my contacts, etc are backedup but apps and settings I always prefer doing from scratch.
I tried Camera 360 and unless I'm mistaken the quality seemed LESS than the default app, which was a let down. Maybe I will try again.

karan999's KF3 stock ROM with CF-Rooted KF3 kernel works perfectly, only concern is I feel like when I'm using the browser that the % drops like a rock in contrast to when I'm just doing normal activities like calls and text. In fact I can speak for quite some time and there's hardly a % change.

When you are browsing with WiFi in Stock browser then battery drains at a rate of 1% per 3/4 minutes. Try Opera, it's a little bit of less hogger
Regards.
I've been using 3G/HSDPA, no WiFi access here. I think on data it is about that about of % decrease for me. I can survive with it as I don't browse on the go much but at home it feels like a disappointment.
Anyone figured out how to replace the task manager for long press home button?

[Q] SuperNexus - I9100 - BUILD 5 Bug

Hello,
This is must first post on XDA so i could not post this in the appropriate thread.
Firstly, thank you very much for an amazing ROM!!! Very impressive work!!
I have now been using it for a day or so and found, what i think may be a "slight" bug.
When I open the Dialer and press a key, the volume of the key tone appears/sounds to be on max. Once pressing the volume rocker, the volume then returns to the required setting.
I am not sure if this is a known issue... or if this is unique issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If it really annoys you that much you could always flash CM9 stable as looks wise there very similar
My intention was to just notify the developer
Maybe some other time I will try CM 10

Hi,
The rule of "10 posts" is really annoying for me too. Anyway, to answer your question, the volume in dialer (i.e. when you press numbers) depends on the volume rocker set in the sound section (under settings). I am using Supernexus Build 5 with Dorimanx 7.4 kernel + Gapps 4.1.2 (the 11-10-12 one).
I hope that can help you fix that issue. Let me know if it helps you.
P.S: Don't be afraid of asking. We all learn from each other, right? Btw, build 5 is super smooth with Dorimanx 7.4 (default settings => no overclock or whatsoever).

I am loving it. Seems there is not way to "solve" this bug.
What advantage does Drominax give you? Do you have a link to it?
There is another really small issue. When I lock the screen the lock animation does not always show. Have you noticed this?
Do you know how i can lower the notification tones without affecting the ring volume?

Sorry, I wasn't too clear about your volume issue. So here is what I did:
Go to Sounds -> Volumes -> you will see 3 kinds of volumes that you can adjust (music media & others is the one affecting dialer volume). Other 2: ringtones (won't be affected when you use the volume rocker of the phone) and alarm (the same as ringtone: no effects from volume rocker).
The Dorimanx is a kernel with the option to overclock (use an app like: Rom Toolbox Lite). The kernel from build 5 is CM10 modified by Faryaab. Just try it and you will see how smooth it is. It's a CWM zip file. Do a NANDROID backup before you install this kernel just in case you don't like it.
The lockscreen animation depends on the settings under Development (Settings). Just keep 3 of them at 1x or 0.5x will give you the effect.

That animation looks like when you turn off an old TV, right? I think it's called CRT animation/effect or sth like that.
Btw, I think you might want to have toggles and battery % mode right? I can post the link when I come home. I'm outside right now.

[Q] Volume rocker wake???

I've been searching XDA and Google up the wazoo looking for a way to do this... coming up blank, except for threads on other phones.... if it is there and I missed it please someone point me in the right direction! I'm looking for a way to allow my volume rocker to wake up the screen so that I can take a bit of the stress off the power button. Even better would be a way to wake the screen with a swype on the screen or on the softkeys, but I've been drawing a blank there too. I would like to accomplish this without having to go to a different rom (like CM), I like CM but on the LG I really like to keep some of the features that come on the stock rom (i.e. Qslide, quickmemo, lockscreen style)... so if this could be done maybe with a flashable zip, or a mod on a script or something that would be awesome.
Additionally I am wondering if there is a way to increase/decrease volume from the lockscreen. I know I can toggle between silent/vibrate/ring.... but if for example I select ring and the volume is low, I have no way to increase it without having to unlock the phone.
Already tried:
-numerous apps that are supposed to allow to wake the phone in customizable ways (none have worked)
-Lockscreen apps to allow volume rocker wake (even though I really just want to keep my stock lockscreen)
-modified a file called keypad_8064.kl to add WAKE after the volume up/down
Thanks!
p.s. sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I've honestly been searching for two days with no luck
p.s. #2 if someone has any ideas or mods for the issue about the LED Notification frequency being so slow I would greatly appreciate it too. I did find threads about it but none of the solutions worked for me. Tried different apps with no success too
ps.#3 I'm using SnowJB on 4.1.2
Try Exposed + Gravity box. I know it says AOSP Roms but I use it on ATT Stock JB and most functions work. Haven't tried Volume wake though.

Thanks.... nice tool, although it doesn't have a volume wake option though. All it has is the option to disable volume wake (meaning if your phone already does it), but not to enable it. It did allow me to do something else I had been struggling with, but still at a loss about the volume wake thing.
I have the apk, not sure where I found it but it works great on the Optimus G.
An apk would be awesome.... Care to share it?

wow... that was great. I can confirm the apk works just fine to allow volume rocker screen wake on my e970. Haven't monitored if it affects battery but at least so far it's working great. It does require Super User rights in case anyone else wants to try it.
Thank you!
BTW, on the issue of being able to control volume without waking the screen I installed this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firestorm.vc&hl=es
It sets the app in the notification tray (not the status bar) so that you can control volume levels from the notification area.... since you CAN drop down this while the screen is locked it pretty much does what I was looking for. I should also point out that if other notifications come in on the phone, this one moves down the list, giving room for the new ones, so it doesn't impact new notifications on your phone.

LineageOS music app "repeat-one song" mode queue issues

Playing any song in repeat one mode basically locks the prev and next buttons. You can't play next song (or the previous one) without disabling it. Turns out its a bug in music v3 and was absent in cm12 and cm13.
Things I have tried
>Going through lock screen every time I wanna change a song ... reeaaally enjoying it btw (long press vol up and down are useless too)
> Importing cm "eleven" apk from older rom and other devices ... they weren't compatible with nougat.
>Recompile music app ... turns out I am a bigger noob than I thought.
>Install 20+ music apps in hopes of finding a good alternative ... I failed. (seriously you can't beat colored notifications and that size plus its a hassle to change music player every time I install a new rom)
So considering that its a bug (or a logic defying feature) could someone pass me a compatible music apk and/ or let the developers know about the issue. Any other suggestions are welcome too.

Longpress volume buttons to skip track mod?

Hey guys,
currently my device is running Ressurrection Rom for the View 10 on my Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29.
There are some bugs currently on Lineage base and I have to admit that I really like the EMUI features on Stock Roms, but the only reason why I switched was the feature to skip tracks without turning on the screen by long pressing the volume buttons. I know that there are several apps in the store but they ain't as good as the modification in those Custom Roms.
So if there is anyone who knows to extract this feature in a flashable file or something like that, please let me know.
I really would go back on rooted Stock Rom, but as long as I'm listening 24/7 to music I'm to lazy to do so.
Thanks.
