[Q] Google Music and lockscreen controls? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hey guys,
I am currently running CM7 RC0 (kang build) with Siyah kernel. I like using the market google music app because I have the bulk of my music library uploaded. I've noticed the lock screen controls sometimes work for the google music app but success is spotty at best. I removed the AOSP music app and that just made the lock screen controls disappear altogether. Has anybody come up with a mod, I've read widget locker can do it but I'm reluctant at getting third party software for something this silly. I wouldn't mind going back to samsung framework roms if need be. I just haven't see anything of this nature tangible.
Thanks in advance for the responses.
p.s. search came up clean. sorry If i missed anything.

I'm not using cm7, so I can't test it out, but try agile lockscreen. It has music controls built into it to show we're up only when music is playing. Not two to mention it's an awesome lockscreen. I know you said no third party apps, like a lockscreen, but hey, no one was commenting.
And yeah, there's alot of 'lurkers' that use xda all the time but never create an account, so they can't comment.

Thanks hairy, I was one of those lurkers before simply because my previous sprint phone wasn't supported. Once I got my SGSII I signed up immediately because I knew this is where the party is at. lol
The google music app is a cool concept but leaves a lot to be desired: music controls and and an EQ. (fixed by dsp manager in cm7 but still)
I don't see agile lock screen in the market. maybe it was taken down?

Completely agree about google music. Hopefully google will give it some attention.

FYI, if you download "Equalizer" from the Android Market (the one with the good ratings), it integrates with Google music. It actually adds an EQ menu to the Google Music app that appears almost native. It works with other audio apps as well, but the integration is not as tight. It has unique features like an auto-EQ based on the Genre in the ID tags.
Still can't find a lockscreen though.

Equalizer app is amazing and did wonders to the sound of my music through this phone.

Stock Deodexed Music Player

Here is the stock fascinate music player.
Deodexed from my stock fascinate with xUltimate
I'm not much of a fan for the aosp music player mostly because I enjoy the lockscreen control of the stock player.
Here is a zip you can flash with CWM.
A little bit off-topic, but what does deodexed mean? I've looked around, but haven't been able to find an answer.
Can this just be flashed via cwm? I am currently running JTs clean rom but I have missed having they music controls on the lock screen?

If you look in your stock system/app folder you will see a .apk and .odex files per system app. Deodexed files have no odex file hence de-odex. I believe the .odex is like a cached file for the program. Deodexing does speed things up but primarily they are used for customization. I am sure there is more to it than just that but that's all I know... I would say google it for more info.

First hit has your answer.
Thank you, worked perfect.
Why is this a new thread in the dev section?
(1) We already have a full deodexed system dump.
(2) This is just one app, not development.
Meh someone got some use out of it....

This made getting the stock music player back much easier. Don't bash just because you didn't find it useful.

While playing music from the stock player there is a cd at the top of the lock screen you slide it down for the controls.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
This sucks. Apparently it only works if you don't have a pattern to unlock. That's why I never noticed it, I use a pattern.
If I install this will it replace the one that is in JT's stock rom?
jv
Yes you did. The stock music player let's you control your music through the task bar. While playing music check out the puzzle screen and at the top there will be a cd, pull it down , and whala!

Here is how I do music controls on the lock screen, with greatly superior programs...
Get TuneWiki
Get Widget Locke
In Widget Locker, enable the TuneWiki widget.
Bam. Now you have a much better music player than the AOSP music player OR stock (handles shoutcast, does lyrics, etc.) - but you also have a much better lock screen that's extremely customizable. Win x2.

[APP] WP7 Music Player - Clone -[Update][Alpha-5]

This is a WP7 music player clone made by the developer of LauncherPro. This app is exactly like the one found on WP7. This app is not my work and I am simply posting this for other users to enjoy.
Note: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE.
Enjoy.
Latest Release: Aplha-5
Changelog:
http://launcherpro.com/music/
Alpha 5
Fixed startup force close that happened on some HTC phones.
Made the entire widget clickable, so that clicking anywhere (outside the play/pause/next buttons) will open the app.
Added the ability to delete playlists by long-pressing on a playlist and choosing "Delete".
Added an option to set the default tab to show when the application is started.
New option to use a custom status bar instead of the system status bar. Touch it to reveal more info (battery charge, Wifi status, signal strength, data connection). Swipe it down to open the notifications panel. Please note that due to limitations in the Android system, it's not possible to show notifications in the custom status bar or customize the notifications panel.
Well, it can play music, but I require options.
beautiful app

1. what I like most is the large album art.
2. Needs lockscreen widget
3. Needs support for blue tooth headphone controls
4. needs audio enhancements options
The guy has another player called "better music" , the UI looks better (I think)
but doesn't do video playback
It has the lockscreen widget
still needs support for bt headphone controls and audio enhancement options
So far is working really ok but need improvements, like others said...currently using poweramp but if you got this right I will switch to this.

Hm, I like TW4 itself.
But this lockscreen is just epic and I'd really like to have this O.O
Why is this in development? It should be in General/Questions.
Also like TekJoe already mentioned, get WidgetLocker from the market and install any of the thousand themes available for it. Also I believe the sense lockscreen comes preloaded with the app.
Sorry, did not know where to put it.
Is there the original lockscreen of the Sensation included?
But actually i don't want to buy anything...

Put this topic wherever you want to, but i used the search function in the S2 forum and there was no specific thread with this name, so i created this.
Agile Lock is nice. But it's not possible to use settings without buying it and it's kinda laggy...

A little laggy, but you can download some Apps to gain 300 points and get the full version free.
Don't download the app that gives you 100 points, it's infected.

Could you tell me which apps you downloaded?
I did not dare to download any app cause there was everything on japanese or chinese or whatever.
And you downloaded these apps and deinstalled it after that?
Edit:
Ok, i did it
Now it works fine! Still a bit laggy, of course, but i hope it gets better with few updates!
Thanks for Agile Lock!
But the music control is a bit stupid, i can't select where to show it on the lockscreen, right?
Always on bottom left corner... That sucks a bit...

Not possible currently. Miui has a lockscreen close to sense 3.0 but its not animated and feels blah compared to the real thing.

Music EQ

So the stock Samsung music player is nice, but the EQ is horrible. Every time I try a third party EQ it does not work at all? Any solutions to this?
You could try dsp manager. It seems to help a little for me.

Definitely try dsp manager. It is great. Link to the apk in the thread below.

It still will not work with my stock music player :/
Try out poweramp then. The widgets are really nice for it, and it offers alot more functionality than the stock player.
"Equalizer" app is the best it integrates very nicely with google music to it should work with everything else too

I've tried poweramp, i have player pro. But I want the stock lock controls, as well as the notification controls I get with the samsung player. Ive tried equalizer but it doesnt seem to work either. It works with google music but not the samsung player. Does it work with yours?
I don't know I just use google music I like the interface better but yeah I miss the lock screen controls and notification controls. I use widget locker to have lock screen controls

I've tried and tried to no avail as far as using my palm to get a screenshot. Is it maybe because I'm using ICS perfection based on the newest build?
EDIT: I didn't realize your palm has to touch the screen. Silly me it works flawless. Its actually the quickest way to achieve a screenshot

Is it my imagination:
The android keyboard is less forgiving?
I have way more typing errors than with previous bases.
The gallery looks blurry?
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but . . .
still could use more work
As with the previous leaks some of the issues were not addressed. Basically some will find this leak pleasant and others such as myself not worth the hassle (returning once again back to stock). I quess it all depends on how one uses their phones. For me the task manager (jobmanager.apk) is a must, task manager must be used repeatedly to accomplish anything. Next Bluetooth works, however when using it with Pandora and programs via data I lose the ability to control music using headset (some functions work others don't). Trying to connect to a call via Bluetooth during audio playback in news or Pandora is more trouble than its worth. Tap to zoom while viewing pages over zooms not to big an issue but prefer to have it zoom and fit the screen. Last but not least, I still think the note has the worst call quality of any phone I've ever used was hoping a ROM or update would fix this, of course this is my opinion here. I will give the browser one thumbs up (the other hand is being used to display a middle finger to this leak) it far surpasses the previous stock browser, I'm not a fan of the checkerboard effect. I haven't used this leak long enough to find any other problems.

I'm glad to see that the keyboard problem wasn't just me. I felt like Homer Simpson trying to type. Not only was it generating a lot of typos but it also seemed like the auto-correct was acting like a drunk Marine... way too aggressive and usually wrong. The strange part is that I encountered the exact same problem with the android keyboard, the samsung keyboard, ICS keyboard, A.I. Type, and Swype. Swiftkey has acted fairly good for me though. I imagine there has to be some component, related to autocorrect, that all of the other keyboards share but Swiftkey doesn't.
I seems that the hidden menu:
*#*#4636#*#*​
is not working anymore. I think this is a new issue, before this was always working.
I also don't like too much this new keyboard ... too many typos.
So is it the way the screen reads your fingertips, or is the dictionary a suck-hole?
