Been outta the game for awhile so I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to drop a quick answer to what is now probably a noob question.
I tried searching but I couldn't find a real answer.
How can I get music controls so that I can pause/play using the volume up/down buttons?
I find the music controls that come with roms will do track skip just fine but pause/play will only pause the track.

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 )
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.
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.
Hi guys!
After using Android for some months now, I'm having some questions (that google coudn't answer).
1) How can we copy links in the new YouTube app? I can only share them on Twitter/Facebook/Dropbox/etc...
2) Is an app/tweak available to increace the amounts of steps of the volume bar?
Sometimes it happens that the lowest volume is still kinda loud. So it would be helpfull if I could reduce the volume even more, without muting it.
3) Aren't there any apps that can emulate the control of the Apple earphones control thing? The only button that works is the play/pause button.
The only apps I can find, can only use 1 button (like press the button 5 times to go to the next track). That's kinda unhandy.
Tips/Solutions are appreciated!

Hey there, I don't know if I should post this in other subforum, probably yes, but I don't know where so here I go.
I was wondering if there is any way to assign to a fisical butom this specific action, I would love if I could mark as "Liked" or add to a playlist a song in poweramp(or any other player) with the screen off holding volume down(or any other buttom). The thing is that I have tons of music, and I mostly listen it when in my bike, so I cant pull the phone out of my pocket to check wich song I liked, to skip tracks I press volume up in Temaseks CM13 and its quite usefull. I checked online and I cant find anything related so I asume its not posible but maybe you know a way.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my 5 year old english
