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.

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.
I'm sure many ex-iphone owners ask this question, but is there an app/widget that gives you play/pause/skip control to whatever app is using the media player?
I use Spotify, Pandora, Google Music & BeyondPod on a regular basis and hate that i have to have 4 widgets each with their own media controls.
Are their any universal media apps that have widgets to control whatever is playing like the iPhone does?
Thanks

I think this is what you're looking for...Phantom Music Control: https://market.android.com/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget
Hope that helps!

Yep that's the type of thing, is that the only one you know of?
Hiding isn't really a deal killer (although it's a nice feature), something that shows album art would be pretty great too.
Thanks for the help

get MiUI lockscreen media control
I also was looking for something like this. But to take it a step further, I wanted it accessible from any application just like on the iPhone when you double tap the home button. I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing, switch apps over to the home screen (for a widget) or to the app to change tracks or pause the music.
An easy way (I thought) to have this done would be to have controls in the notification bar. However, it doesn't seem possible on gingerbread, or at least I haven't found anything. I guess ICS has that by default though so at least there's hope for the future.

Check out Quick Desk in the market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk
It you double tap Home it brings up a screen where you can add widgets or shortcuts. You can invoke it anytime. Very handy for say volume or music widgets while playing a game.

i've been a longtime miui music and playerpro user. N7player definitely takes the cake
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
yo! Thanks for the suggestion mate. I've just installed it and it sounds and looks awesome.
I was using a semi-working Miui player port on cm7 as of lately (still better than stock Music.apk), but this made me uninstall it. This is now my default audio player.
Others tried: zimly, neutron mp, winamp, poweramp.
But this seems a winner. Thanks again.
no problem. just wondering how long it'll be before they make it a paid app. I think they should leave it free for awhile and gain more publicity. anyways, I wouldn't mind paying for this app especially if themes can be integrated

Strange; which nightly? I'm on Maniac103's Feb. 20th and it works flawlessly...well, almost.
Here's a couple observations on that player and more:
This player excels in getting (and displaying) album art pics; it even makes them accessible to other apps. So this means that the stock Music.apk can finally and easily have album art covers for pretty much all songs and single mp3 files -that without any additional app such as albumart grabber [which didn't even really solve the problem anyway].
Cm7's lockscreen sees N7 player as the main player; so the lockscreen buttons control it and not the default player [big +1 in my book]. But there's no song name or albumart displayed on lock screen; no biggie and it has its own lock screen mode anyway..
So the only real need of keeping the default player installed is to quick-play a single song from within a file explorer (from the 'download' folder for example) because somehow, if you uninstall it there's no mp3 file type (mime) assiociated with the N7 player. So you get 'mp3 is not recognized file type by the system', 'System can not play this file type' ~or something similar anyway.
Now, all that being said, I still don't like to keep the cm7 default music player for one main reason: it also adds a "Videos" link in the app drawer wich links to a directory of all video files on the phone -hidden or not!!- .
You can't freeze (with TB or other app) that Videos 'shortcut' independently from the Music.apk nor you could (or would really want to) lock it (i.e.: add a password to the default audio player) with an app like Smart App Protector...
Any alternative? Yes: ICS's Music2.apk [attached - taken from the ICS dump release a long time ago].
Disclaimer: OK, this is not 100% proven science here; I did not check logcats and search for problems... but I haven't had any issue with this player yet for what I expect from it - but use at your own risks...
So backup, rename or delete the stock Music.apk from /system/app and place the ICS one in there and dont forget to set its permissions/ownership. Reboot and privacy problem solved!!
N7 and ICS' Music: best free audio combo in town
--> Music2 looks much better as well; more ice-creamy
Got some issues compared to Poweramp
- Can't detect song's cover art. Can't import from SD card. Need to download from internet
- No lyric
But overall is pretty impressive. Hopefully will get more feature soon

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the cm7 lockscreen to control winamp? I use winamp becasue i have lots of flac files i'd rather not have to convert everytime i put them on my phone.
thanks
Very nice, I like the interface a lot but its missing features I like in Poweramp so going to stick with that for now... plus I only just payed for Poweramp so want my moneys worth before changing
Will be keeping an eye on how this app develops though, when things like lockscreen gestures and a few more control options appear I can see this one being a winner
Thanks for the head up
THX. Have a try
n7player Music Player...THX，have a try
It has beautiful UI and the effort on that part is very appreciated. But I must say, it comes nowhere close to the sound quality of Poweramp. None of them do.
Im running the gameboy theme and im curious if its possible to set a default music app for the shortcut on the desktop. currently when i click it there is a prompt for all compatible music players. I only want to use google play music. suggestions?

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:
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?
