Do you think it would be possible to enable it? It's a pain to change track with the touchscreen honestly..
I know that it's possible to do it with Cyanogenmod, so basically we need a ROM ?
I believe PlayerPro and Poweramp can do that, maybe some others. I use Cubed and it doesn't.
Poweramp can't do that
Are there any news on this front?
I'm guessing you want to control playback without looking at the screen.
I have the same need, so I got a Jabra Clipper.

Try Tactile Player from the market, free or paid. I've been using it with the N7 player and it works. Double click buttons to change tracks, that way you still have single click control of volume. Play/pause with power button clicks.
Just select emulate headset controls in the app.

Thank you very much for posting this. Works great with the stock music player.

That is GREAT! Thank you even though I have problems. It's a mess with voodoo sound, when I change track with a double press the track does change but the volume keeps rising I use PowerAmp but I suppose it's system-wide

It seems like it keeps rising but I don't think it actually does. After going forward a few tracks you see the volume bar getting higher, but if you hit the volume down to make it quieter the volume actually hasn't moved.
Great app, but it's irritating that if you hold down one of the volume buttons it'll fly through tracks rather than turning the volume up or down substantially.
I'm still gunna use it though, this is exactly what I've been looking for to use while driving. It's such a pain in the ass to unlock the thing, go to the music player and find the right spot on the touchscreen to skip tracks while driving.
the analog volume does rise with voodoo sound at the point you can't stand it, maybe you don't use voodoo sound? and yeah the fact that you can't change the volume without getting crazy is a problem :-(
I thought the player did not support voodoo sound since it does not use the Wolfson chip???

I think the 4.0 players have the Wolfson chip, 5.0's use the Yamaha AFAIK.
yes I have the 4.0 player, what are you using?
I'm on US 5.0 player.
I'm not too concerned since I have Wolfson chip on two other devices. And the Yamaha chip doesn't sound 'bad' just not as good as the Wolfson.
you could always get one of those "shake" to change tracks apps then you don't have to worry about volume changing when skipping tracks.

I dont think that function is supported, but i might be wrong.

PlayerPro's lockscreen function lets you do that.
Other than that, almost all stereo bluetooth headsets have track change buttons. I'm using SonyEricsson MW600 myself.

many thanks for your reply! I'll get this player !!
Have a look at poweramp as well for lock screen functionality.
Could be done with some key mapping? Although:
1) I've only read about it, never done it.
2) You'll loose volume up/down functionality on those keys.
Are their any other roms besides Ineffabilis v1.3 that have the ability to change the music track via a long press of the volume keys while the screen is off?
I use that feature ALL THE TIME in my system.
I don't know about all the different ROMs, but at least 2or3 I tried it with definitely DIDN'T work.
Wonder how they got it to work in ineffinbilis?

Try Plug in Music Widget. It doesn't have a long press to change, but a double click to change tracks. It didn't work well until the last release, but now seems to work quite a bit better. He built some options into the double press so it can work more than just for the developer. It also is the cleanest music widget, and works with Google music, stock music, and winamp. Has some other features like auto start when headphones plug in.

Thanks for the info, but I am looking for something to change the music track while I am running. I hate trying to fumble with the lock screen, especially in gloves (for the winter) when I could just press and hold the volume key.
I agree. The zero click ease of holding the volume up to skip to the next track is simply amazing.
You can always use the beats headphones...
Seriously thought I'm looking for another headset with better audio quality, I've grown to like the inline controls.

The widget has an option to change tracks with a double press of the volume keys, screen off or all the time, your choice. It's not quite as smooth or clean feeling as the long press, but it still works.

Lol, the best thing about the long click feature is you don't have to use those POS headphones........
I use that feature 100 times a day at work because I can do it in my pocket without looking at the phone and it works with ALL of my many different headphones.
Almost all 3rd party headphones that have the inline controls are setup to work with iPhones and don't work in android unless you use an app like headset button controller.
Using the long click feature in the ROM I'm using gets around all that and works awesome.
I know, I was just being sarcastic. I do believe these are supposed to work with Android - http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/mc2.html. I have ER-4P's now.
For whatever reason I can't get it to skip on CR 1.7, I figure it out though. I loved having that feature on my D1.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love the beats earphones, but I drive roughly 70% of my day, so having my phone inline to my stereo is why I love the volume button skip.

Cool, I use a Motorola T-605 in my car, just hit the skip button on the BT controller. I do need a new mic for it though, it's not working anymore for some reason. Nice hands free kit over all, got it for like $50.
ok, I have a new idea for making money. Just take the bluetooth controls off and use them in your pocket. We could be like the guy that made the pet rock and make a million dollars.
I have recently purchased a Galaxy S Player 5.0, rooted and upgraded the firmware to stock gingergbread.
But i find when using the default music player in my car, the volume is very low, if i use poweramp it increases to the same as my iPod. However i dont want to use poweramp i want to use the stock music player. How can i boost the volume?
I have tried Voodoo but i have a stock Kernel so that doesnt work, is there any way to get into the service menus like on the Galaxy S2 and boost via the codes?
Is it just in the car? Or do you have this problem with speaker and earphones. Also are you using bluetooth to play it from car steros?

Quick Question. Have you tried to Google Play Music app and also have you tried to use any equalizers?
why dont you put the equalizer settings all the way up in the stock player? i have mine set up like that and it boosts the volume a good deal
Headphones are plenty loud enough, its just when i use it in my car. I use the Headphone socket in the car not bluetooth.
Equalizer settings are all the way up and it has made it louder but it is still alot quieter than Power Amp.
I prefer the default app as when you press the home button twice on the lockscreen it has the pulldown menu to change track easily, which is less hassle when driving than unlocking the screen and changing track in Power Amp. Also if i just use Power Amp il have the stock music icon sitting in the dock and not being used, i cant replace it with Power Amp unless i use a different launch can i??
Its not the songs as they are the same songs i have always had and on my old iPod the volume is much much louder.
I havent used google play music as its not available in the UK
Im guessing as there isnt a dialler on the Galaxy Player that the service codes to boost volume cant be accessed?
1.you can change the icon just hold and drag unless its not on the "desktop" then you go into the app drawer and press the menu button and press the edit button and now just hold and drag and i am pretty sure poweramp has equalizer settings that you can put up to and it should have a lockscreen control available.... or not try n7player.... it's pretty good

there is no harm in flashing a kernel if you fell up to it. if not you can go into setting of the main music app and one of the last settings for sound alive is user 1 and user 2. use one of those and drag all the knobs up to the top and that should give you a great deal of difference in sound level

Why don't you use Poweramp's lock screen?
And the icon in the dock can be changed, I changed mine to Poweramp.

+1 Poweramps lockscreen kicks the crap out of the stock.
Also Voodoo sound is for the 4.0, nothing you can EVER do to the 5.0 will make voodoo sound work on it, it uses a different DAC.
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.
Does anyone know of a Rom that includes or music player on the market that has the ability to change songs by holding the volume rocker? I listen to a lot of music on bluetooth speakers and don't want to take my phone out of my pocket everytime I want to skip a song.
Edit: If I am understanding my research correctly this is a framework change and not so much a music player design. I see it can be changed using xposed framework, however, I don't feel like changing over to xposed just for this feature. Please correct me if I am wrong.
