Hey guys,
I have an international htc one x+ running stock 4.2.2 not unlocked not rooted.
I have widget lockscreen enabled with brilliant quotes applied as the widget. Now when i play music from the htc music app the lockscreen gets the small 4x1 music widget to switch tracks through lockscreen. This is all fine when am using the htc sense as the default launcher.
But for some reason when i use Aviate or themer beta and play my tracks from these launchers or even access the music app from these launchers the music widget no longer appears on the lockscreen or when it does it just not responds. This also happens when i use the dashlock extension.
Its getting pretty annoying because i want to try these launchers and extensions
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks. Cheers!

I think you should ask the developers of these tools. I'm sure you are not the only one facing this problem, so I'm sure they can help you more.
I was having trouble with a few launchers so i assumed it was a one x+ bug.. :/

Of course it can be a bug made by HTC. They heavily changed some Android code and thanks to it now we have "bugs for free". For example, the default android widget lockscreen allows you to place many widgets on the screen. HTC's modification allows only one widget + it will be hidden if there is no network, low battery or music being played .
You should still ask the app developers about this. Maybe they will at least response "yeah we know it. Blame htc".

Yeah! That whole widget limit thing really sucks. [emoji53]
I have dropped a question to the themer team just waiting for a reply.
I was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem. [emoji21]

But if you want to change the music track which is actually playing... Why even unlock the screen? I saw some apps for controlling the music player without unlocking the screen like "wave a hand over the phone to change the track" or "use volume buttons to switch songs".

Simple but damn important and useful, True silence. Basically with one click it makes your android completely silent, instead of android's crappy 'silent' mode which leaves the media volume on, and if you go to adjust that manually it will play to you the current level of media, which will be loud and might turn heads towards you..
Also I use rimshot widget for fun, and pure grid calendar, but it costs so.

For quite mode I use "phone silencer" <- you can set when the silence mode will be switched off
A client with this phone came to me for a problem she had. The thing is that she had the same home screen effect as sense for htc phones and i am shure that she does not have a rooted or modified phone. I tought at first that it was the weather network widget since she had this on her screen but after downloading i see that this is not what made the effect. When you want to select a shortcut or widget on the home screen with this effect you have to tap twice to disengage the effect. Does anyone know of what widget or app im talking about because i really want this one!!!

Well you can use the widget from the Winamp app, it's pretty slick + useful.
Hi All,
I've had my S3 for 2 weeks now, sold my HTC One X for it, should of done it earlier tbh! Anyway one main bug of mine is no lockscreen controls for Spotify, when the HTC One X had it....does anyone know how a fix around this??
Cheers!
Stock? I do not believe the stock rom allows for music controls outside of the stock music player. Not really a bug just an oversight.

Yes sorry it is stock! To get the feature is there a ROM out there that supports it do you know??
It's 'cause Samsung's TouchWiz lockscreen doesn't support the controls, whereas the AOSP one does. A workaround is to enable pattern/password etc. security on the phone which switches the lockscreen to the AOSP one, and should show the controls (at least it does for me with PowerAMP and pattern lock)

doesmt work on my S3 ;/
I get lockscreen controls when using pin code unlock. This happens on Omega V10 but it should be a Android feature and should work on stock roms too.

Just tried it on mine and it works, but I use Holo locker with Nova Launcher for my Jelly Bean theme I have, it's a bit of a pain to get lockscreen controls so I will just have to bit the bullet... Thanks anyway tho!

This worked for me. I used the PIN option because it wasn't working with the Pattern.

Not true at all, I use Doubletwist and i have lock screen controls on my Note 2 stock
People need to stop thinking you cant do anything because you have a stock rom.
Doubletwist gives me lock screen controls , Spotify however does not, so the problem is with the app and not the stock rom

I'm on 4.2.1 and my Spotify is usable from the lock screen. It automatically creates a widget when spotify is playing. I use Omega v44 rom and nova launcher.

I had the same problem with spotify when I switched from an iPhone to a S3.
I wrote "media utilities" , provides notification controls and widgets with cover art. Was a fun little project and works pretty well with apps like spotify and pandora which have not added all of the controls yet.

Sorry should have added a screen shot. Used "Media Utilities" for spotify controls and "Widget Locker" for lock screen replacement.

Hope I don't get shot for this, however, I am in need of some advice to help me get iPhone style notifications on stock sense Rom. For example, right now I can only get notifications from the android mail app but not Google mail app or my touchdown mail app. my text messages do show up, but I can't make it show the name of sender but hide content. It either hides both or none. Phone is rooted, is there any program that lets me do this without removing the stock Rom? If I have to flash a other Rom to get this level of customization, which Rom and subsequent mod would you suggest. This is the only thing I don't like about this phone.

There's a lot of lock screen apps but i don't think they have shortcuts like that. Also they don't usually work well.

Those lockscreen apps tend to drain battery too.

I use to use widget locker. I never really noticed it killing my battery.
Hello i am having a REALLY hard time setting up my new rom (foxhound 2.7 on my i9300).
Here is the deal: i like samsung's stock widgets. I like the flashlight and i like the turn off all sounds. But on the launcher i want to use for the rest of my (phone's) life, doesn't see them. In fact there are some launchers that do not see all system widgets.
These widgets i speak of are built in my rom, so please don't mention touchwiz, it has nothing to do with this and i CAN apply these widgets to holo launcher hd (for example) and others.
There are many workaorunds for the flashlight widget, and i can learn to live without all other stock widgets of samsung. But i have never found a better "turn off all sounds" feature than samsungs widget. Now i assume i could send a report to go launcher ex dev team and wait forever for them to not fix this problem, or i could find a solution.
What i need is the experience of you guys, please: i need to find a widget that can link to other existing ones in the phone and act as them, and hopefully go launcher ex will allow me to use this widget.
I do not intend to change launcher, but if anyone can offer a VALID alternative to that launcher (it doesn't just lower all sounds to 0, it completely disables the phone sound output. THIS is what i'm looking for, hopefully in a widget but even if not it's fine).
Many app out there claim to be able to mute all sounds, but not as efficiently as this samsung stock widget, please help:banghead:
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Just to give you an option: you could create a Tasker task and widget button to turn off all sounds.
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
Thanks. I know i could probably figure out how to do this some way, but tasker is a very detailed app, if you already know how to do this would you mind giving me guided steps?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Alright i got some 2 raw widgets working, but no matter what action i choose with tasker (in the sound section) i do not get the turn off all sounds effect just like in the samsung widget.
???
And i didnt find any option to enable another widget....any help?
