If you select Play Music, what happens next? For the Gameboy theme it should remain your default player, only when switching to another theme will it ask you again what is your preferred music player.

Thats what i thought too. it just pops back up with the same list. its not the end of the world i though maybe i can just change the shortcut.
I think it might be based on how the theme was made. I had the city theme a it had the problem but my current theme works as intended

Agree. I had problems with a theme but I changed theme and the issue was gone. :good:

Since there isn't one, what do you recommend? I haven't seem any good ones in the market, and there's too many to search through them all.
I'm a big fan if mixzing. Chris Soyars also has an amazing one for cm6 assuming that gets ported soon.
Pure Music Widget. Is nice, many different sizes and skinnable.
I will check those out, but I ended up just porting over the music apk from CM5 and installing that

Stock 2.1 Music Player with widget.
While the Samsung Music player app doesn't have a widget, it might have something better - if you're playing music you can control the app even if the screen is locked. When you're screen is locked you'll see a little down arrow that you can drag down to show your music controls.
DoubleTwist also has a decent widget.

Not only that, you have your music controls from the notification bar. I don't miss the music widget one bit with these 2 options

I third the preloaded music app. Why do you need a widget that's always on the home screen taking up space and resources whether your listening to music or not when you can have controls hidden in the notification bar that only show up when you're actually listening to music?

Are the notification bar controls tied to the TouchWiz interface or can you use any home screen customizer, as long as you use the Sammy player, and still get the notification bar controls?

Its part of the Samsung Music app, not the launcher, so you can use it with any Launcher
The notification bar and lock screen players remain in place if you use a 3rd party home screen (ADW, Launcher Pro), so long as your using Samsung's excellent player.
I don't like Samsung's music player. I don't like that when I pick an artist, it opens all albums. I like the stock music players way of showing the albums, then opens just that album when you touch it. I don't want to play the entire discography when I just want one album. I know there is an "Album" category, but I like my music by artist -> album, not just album.
If that's not too confusing to understand lol
I love the music controls in my notification bar when using the Samsung player, but if I get a handscent pop up message from a text it gongs that music player right out of the notification bar. Sometimes if I go back to the music app its still there paused, but sometimes not. Kind of annoying, anyone else noticing this?
Edit: Reboot seems to have fixed this now, sorry should have tried that before posting.
I use bTunes because it actually keeps my playlists when transferred over wifi from iTunes on my PC (with tunesync). I'd like to use the stock player but it only shows all the songs/artists/albums...no itunes playlists
I found out that Lithium player is one of the best out there so far.
Great Music effects also!

If you click artists, then on the artist, it will still show each album, it just shows them in a list as opposed to icons for each album.
Ok... is it just me or does the stock music player suck? I couldnt even find any shuffle button... Is there one?
Anyway the question is... Is there a valid alternative? What i'm looking for is drag and drop mp3's onto the phone and a good quality reproduction of mp3's. Is winamp as good as the desktop version?
Thanks,
There is a Honeycomb Music player floating about...lemme find the apk link...
http://www.mediafire.com/?fqb967jfdx8njt5
Best player for sure is PowerAmp!!
Its for free use for about a month, after that it costs 3,50€ but it worth it
Just try it out!

When you play a song it appears briefly right above the play meter on the left hand side. Gotta click the song icon and you have fast forward, rewind, shuffle, and repeat.
Thanks for all the tips guys. the only negative thing to the honeycomb player and other third party apps is that there are no lockscreen controls!

I think you can turn the volume button into skip forward/back with PowerAmp. Might be able to do something with Widget Locker too. Not sure though.

Actually it's the best stock player I've seen on any Android phone. To find the shuffle button press the album art.
For alternatives, try the following apps and make up your mind:
PowerAmp
PlayerPro
DoubleTwist
WinAmp
UberMusic (with Metro skin)

If you download the doubletwist player you can sync your itunes music and videos and podcasts. You can also download airtwist for it too, it costs some $, but let's you wirlessely sync your music. I suggest just getting doubletwist so you can sync with itunes. And yes, whatever music you sync with itunes can be played with any music/media player.
I use both PlayerPro and PowerAMP. PlayerPro has equalizer preset for headphone looks just like one of those audio tweaks for sgs2. You can use Volume up/down buttons to change next/previous songs on PlayerPro.
I absolutely love this theme, been using it since the day it came out.
Have one problem I can't figure out. On the music page, no matter which player I've tried, amazon mp3, Google Music, or power amp, it will not show the album art or the track an artist information.
The only modification I've done to the theme was to unlock the widgets so I could delete Instagram. I don't use it.
Oh, maybe it would be a good idea to release an update for this skin with the Xbox 1 SmartGlass app added to it. I've added the shortcut in place of the Instagram one, but it won't Center in that window.
Thanks for the great work. Love this app.

Thanks for the Smart Glass addition, will speak to the team! Regarding the music widget (we're guessing you're running KitKat, let us know if you're not) there should be an update soon for it. KitKat is giving us a lot of hassles :silly:
Yes, on my Nexus 5.
You guys are great, thanks!
Why does themer ask for notification access when I set up an on tap to use themer open player or themer music source? I don't use music widgets in my themes anymore and never will. Frankly, they are useless. Was fun to play with them and set them up at first, but I would rather just use the native music app. So, I do not need themer to have notification access for music widgets. I want open player to work without asking me for notification access.

Hi,
Try this: hold down on the homescreen - Themer Settings - App Preferences - Music - then change it to your preferred music app.

Yea that's how I have the shortcut set up now. Poweramp is my most used player so I set themer Music to that. Then set up my Zooper on tap to use that. But previously, I could set it to open player and it would open whatever player I was currently running. Which I thought was very cool. Now it wants access to notifications to use that feature..

We apologize for this, but the developers might have incorporated this to help other users to display their music information.
Currently using the "twilight" theme, with the default music widget for that theme! zero customization done.
Every time I open from the music widget it asks me to pick a music player, even though I only use Google Play music. Any idea how to just make this open up automatically?

Hi,
Just to clarify, you applied the Twilight theme, then went to music player and select Google Play Music as your default music player? Did you do anything else after that, such as restarting your phone or switching to another theme? If so, Themer resets your default player, and you'll have to set it back.
You can also long press on the homescreen - select Themer Settings - App Preferences - Music - Google Play Music.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply! I actually did exactly that way, and haven't rebooted or anything. It just happens every time I click the widget, even though the default is set in the Themer settings.
Even if I switch songs, go back to my homescreen, and go back into the music app I have to choose which again.
Thoughts? Maybe a bug with the widget?
