Control music app on phone? - Amazfit

Hey guys,
i am thinking about buying the Amazfit but i heard its officially not possible to control music when it is running on the phone?
Are there any mods that would make this possible and another question is, would it be possible to sideload Spotify or Google Music for example and use it on the phone?
Thanks and best regards

From 1.3.4f update, it officially can be done. I've tried it on my LG g3, and it works. I've heard it works for Spotify, etc., but you wait for confirmation / second opinion.

I've tried it with Spotify and it works

Thank u guys
Anybody know if it would be possible to sideload Google Music oder Spotify directly to the watch?

No it is not possible.
This is a modified version of android, not many apps work.

Hi,
I have a G3 but the Amazfit is connected to my Mate 9. Updated to 1.3.4f the first day it got released but I'm yet to understand how to control from the watch. I hate having to bring out the phone to change tracks (I use a wired Sennheiser which has no control buttons).
Any tips please?

It has to be enabled in phone app, notifications settings, music remote controler.
After that press play music from phone, and swipe up on the unlocked watch for controls.

I also miss this feature greatly. I used it all the time while on CM7 and HD2.
I found this app on market, but since I cant buy apps in market from Serbia I havent tried it.

But if you want to change song and listen to music with your sound setup ex bass,rock,flat etc just download PowerAMP
Hope i helped and its free for 30days but if you want to keep it download unlocker...

I am not sure if that is possible with any app if the rom doesnt support it.
In CyanogenMod if I am not wrong ability to change tracks while long holding volUp/Down buttons is a feature of CyanogenMod itself, not the music app used.
That was very usefull to me, for example while driving home from work and listening to music via smartphone. I could just hold the volUp button to skip the annoying song. Now I cant do that. At least I havent found a way.
Anyway I will check PowerAMP. I might be wrong so it's worth a try.

Latest Play Music update drops Nexus Q Support

It looks like Google finally dropped Nexus Q support. With the music streaming issues lately, some hoped they would fix it. Well, they did. You won't be having streaming issues anymore, because you can't do it at all. Sad day for us Nexus Q owners...
The question on my mind is: what to do now with this piece of hardware? My previous concerns about putting CM on it are now moot. I'm thinking of making it an independent media server. XBMC + CM 10?
What are all of you going to do next?
Does CM 10 include support for the speaker outputs?
Last I tried it was HDMI only
---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------
so I downloaded the AP K from a Chinese website so I could decompile it without having to root my own phone, and the icons are all still there. Maybe a glitch is preventing it from showing?
I posted on another thread wondering if the bluetooth can just be made discoverable so you can connect to it like a car stereo for streaming.

Sad indeed. It the most beautiful piece of useless technology I own now.
Fine, I understand they're killing the Q. I hate the fact that they're doing it, but as they said - no one really paid for it, atleast not paid Google.
But help me understand this, is there anything that can now replace spotify and apple-TV from Google? I'm loving the all access music service from Google but i still don't have the possibility to send songs to a media center, right?
Or can Google TV solve this?
Vol
Well, Maybe There is a chance... CM10 and the google play músic 5 apk... The thing is how to use it without a mouse or a bt Key board

This may be a stupid question, but can the previous Music app be "resigned" so it isn't updated or seen by the Play Store? Could the new Music app then be installed side by side with the altered Music app so we still get Q streaming abilities (with the old app) and then use the new Music app for All Access?
Modaco did something like this with TweakDeck. You could use both TweakDeck and TweetDeck side by side on the same device.

While it may not be the official method, I have Google Play Music sideloaded onto my CM10.1 Nexus Q and it works just fine, even since the update they announced at Google IO (with the orange UI).
If you have cm10.1 you can now download google music in the store this still need a proper app to control it from your phone like apple tv. Also does anyone know what kind of development is going on with it in cms side?

I'm up for doing this, but how do you control it? bluetooth mouse? or does it still connect up to the music app on your phone/tablet?
I'm pretty unhappy about this too. I bought my Q on EBay prior to the announcement that they weren't actually releasing it. I've pretty much built my whole music system around it so not being able to control it will make me go back to using an iPod - something I REALLY don't want to do!! I uninstall the update on my Razr HD and the old version still seems to work but I've not had any luck doing the same thing yet on my Xoom that's running EOS 4 (4.2.2). I may see if I can pull the apk from my Razr HD and install it on the Xoom.

You can control it with a bluetooth mouse, keyboard, remote etc. It doesn't allow you to use your phone/tablet as the playlist manager like the stock Nexus Q functionality, instead you get a fancy widescreen tablet style Google music interface on your TV and you navigate your music and play direct from there.
Am I right that there is no way to get analog output to work with CM to use it headless with some remote app and without TV plugged?
I'm looking for a meaningful solution aswell. We bought one of ebay and loved using it since our small circle of friends are all using google music so it made a lot of sense to us. If it were possible to keep to seperate gmusic apks on the phone that would already be enough I guess.
A good solution would be worth 100€ to us.

Here it is (the previous Q equipped Google Music APK), along with the Nexus Q APK (in case it drops from the store and anyone still needs it), and the Q equipped YouTube, because I'm sure its next update will remove support...
Please just give me a thanks if you take any of these!

Music Controls Not Working (LG G Watch, Nexus 5, Android L Dev Preview)

I've been using the LG G Watch for a while now and I'm really loving it. However, I noticed that the music controls don't seem to work properly.
When I play a track on my Nexus 5 via Google Play, the artwork and title appear on the watch face, but pausing / playing don't work and I can't skip or go back a track, either.
As far as I can see I'm using the latest version of the Google Play Music APK and the watch is running the latest firmware. I've also tried resetting the watch and re-syncing the apps on it.
Another thing to note is that I'm running the Android L Developer Preview - not sure if that makes any difference.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Same exact music issues here. LG G Watch, Google Music v5.6.1609P.1258283, Android L Preview, Nexus 5.

Glad I'm not the only one getting this. Google Music updated today, but the issue is still there.
Same issue here on Google Music, Pocket Casts, and Player.FM - kinda annoying!
Same here, went back to 4.4.4 as many apps were having this problem (Google Music, Google Movies, Youtube)
Same issue for the Samsung Gear Live with Nexus 5 L preview.
Same issue here, works on HTC one m8, but not on nexus 5 and 7 running L. I assume its a problem with the way L handles music controls in notifications.
Happens to me with Spotify, the notification shows up but the play/pause control doesn't work. Using a Gear Live with a Nexus 4 running CM 10.2.1 (Android 4.3). However, Spotify works perfectly for a friend using a GS4 running KitKat connected to a LG G watch.
Got mine today, running Android L preview also and having the same issue. Anyone know of a fix/update on its way perhaps?
I do know that persistent/non-cancelable notifications are not mirrored to Wear for ANY app. That's usually the type of notification used to show playback controls, but it doesn't explain why the apps that have been updated don't seem to work correctly.
I also had this problem with L installed. I've since reflashed the stock 4.4.4 image, and they work fine.
Can anyone confirm whether this issue has been fixed in L yet?
It's one of the only things keeping me from using L on my everyday phone.

It will be fixed in the full release. But the dev preview won't be updated.
I thought I was the only one. So we have to wait for the Android L official release, hopefully it won't be to long
Same for me
I have the exact same issue with my Nexus 5 and Android L preview build LPV81C. Hoping it get fixed before full release. Fingers crossed ...
I have the same problem with my G Watch and Nexus 4 (running stock 4.4.4).
Anyone found a solution?
Edit:
Not a problem anymore, it was caused by an app for controlling my headset... -_-
I have the same problem with stock Nexus5 and Samsung Gear Live
I have the notification on gear of some song and when i try to "open on phone" none happens. If i try to play nothing happens again
BUT, if i open an music app (like Google music) and tap play on wear, then spotify (and this is strange) starts to play (a song different from that reported by wear notification).
This don't happens until i don't start an music app (seem that when i start a music app something will be initialized).
I also think that the notification on wear is something of old that has been stored by wear but not updated (probably after a spotify update).
Hey guys, try Wear Music Controller in the Play Store. It should control all your music players for you!
I have the same issue with you.
same here
Recently got my moto 360, doesnt work as well. Safe to say its the L preview bug.. But so disappointing

Sec MediaProvider.apk

I rooted and ran a debloater tool. Sad thing is it deleted my music player. I tried to replace it and it didn't work. I some how deleted the Sec mediaprovider.apk as well. Any clue how to fix this. I'd hate to have to use my old phone. I'm lost on how to install / replace them. Any help would be amazing.
Thanks in advance
PowerAmp. Or Google Play Music.

Just use Google Play Music as a music player... That's what I use to play music. The stock Samsung is super ugly in my opinion. What version of android are you on? Bootloader?

I never thought about branching out before. I just been using that since most of my music is on my sdcard. Anyway the Media provider apk is more what i'm worried about since my phone doesn't have any ringtones or notification tones. I'm currently running rooted 5.0.1 and I think the bootloader is still samsung. I need to sit down and install cwm just haven't yet.
Thanks!

Spotify v0.5.2b (Removed Amazon, Firestick version)

EDIT: Spotify released their app on the app-store some days ago, get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.tv.android
Or if you want the latest firestick version you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../spotify-v0-5-4-removed-amazon-store-t3383756
-------------------------------------------------------
Hi! On my old Spotify Connect thread people wanted the new Spotify app for Fireface but without the need of the Amazon Store so here is a modified version of the new Spotify App.
I don't have an Amazon Stick myself so if any updates arives, post the APK here and I'll remove the need of the Amazon Store :highfive:
This is designed for AndroidTV?
Fantastic, works perfectly on my Shield TV, and has an icon for the Android TV launcher!
EDIT: Can you 'de-Amazon' any APK then?

Mostly. Found out that the app Lucky Patcher could remove the need of Amazon, Google Play and other services from apps. Bin using it to remove the need of Amazon for some apps like Spotify. Never failed to work for me.

Have you been side loading the apk on to another device that has lucky patcher on it?
I have Lucky Pathcer on my phone for ease so I download the APK, install it, launch Lucky Patcher (without running the APK), patch the app into a new APK, share the APK to my Nexus Player using Air-Share and then I have the patched app running nicely on my Nexus Player
I don't see why Lucky Patcher wouldn't work on an Android TV directly, the only problem would be the navigation. No idea how it would work, havn't tried.

Confirmed, you can install lucky patcher on the shield and navigate pretty well actually. What other useful amazon locked apps are we missing out on? I tried slingplayer but there is an issue with the way it loads.
This works perfectly on my Sony 55S8005C. Awesome.

I can't start a song from my tv (sony KDL-50W805C). music starts for a split second but pauses then again.
It only works if I press play on the phone and then choose the tv with spotify connect.

This works great for me on Shield TV, but there is one caveat. For some reason I can only select things on the screen by hooking up a mouse/touchpad and using the onscreen cursor to click. If I move to a UI element with the remote and then try to activate it by pressing OK or Enter then nothing happens. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
Volume control
this apk works well but I can't control the volume.
