Longpress volume buttons to skip track mod? - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
currently my device is running Ressurrection Rom for the View 10 on my Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29.
There are some bugs currently on Lineage base and I have to admit that I really like the EMUI features on Stock Roms, but the only reason why I switched was the feature to skip tracks without turning on the screen by long pressing the volume buttons. I know that there are several apps in the store but they ain't as good as the modification in those Custom Roms.
So if there is anyone who knows to extract this feature in a flashable file or something like that, please let me know.
I really would go back on rooted Stock Rom, but as long as I'm listening 24/7 to music I'm to lazy to do so.
Thanks.

[Q] A Few Questions on Apps and Rooting

Hey guys just got a few quick questions, I know there is a likelihood this has been discussed elsewhere but I've not found the resources.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
That's most of my questions for now, thanks for your help guys :-D.
This is interesting because I am very interested in most of these questions as well. Here is my opinions on each.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
-There is battery icon mods, search for it in the Theme section
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
-The only Rom I know of that can change the long press of the home button is CM7.
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
-The camera app is safe to remove. I would try Titanium and freeze it first if you're worried.
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
-You might want to detail these better.
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
-I do this through tasker.

-Dont know
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
-I dont think this comes in the stock rom. I'm on Cognition which has it.

I actually just found this one for KF3 so I'm going to test it in a moment

As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I will look into tasker, though I was looking for something very light as I only need this one feature.
Rather stick with stock ROM for now, at least until I get a JIG
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry about that thanks.
Just as a quick update, reinstalled the Task manager app and placed the apk back in the system/app folder and it seems to work. Also the battery icon has been updated and looked great :-D.
[*]As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I think you underestimate Titanium, it does more than backups.
Oh I don't use Titanium for my backups, I like always starting from fresh, so my contacts, etc are backedup but apps and settings I always prefer doing from scratch.
I tried Camera 360 and unless I'm mistaken the quality seemed LESS than the default app, which was a let down. Maybe I will try again.

karan999's KF3 stock ROM with CF-Rooted KF3 kernel works perfectly, only concern is I feel like when I'm using the browser that the % drops like a rock in contrast to when I'm just doing normal activities like calls and text. In fact I can speak for quite some time and there's hardly a % change.

When you are browsing with WiFi in Stock browser then battery drains at a rate of 1% per 3/4 minutes. Try Opera, it's a little bit of less hogger
Regards.
I've been using 3G/HSDPA, no WiFi access here. I think on data it is about that about of % decrease for me. I can survive with it as I don't browse on the go much but at home it feels like a disappointment.
Anyone figured out how to replace the task manager for long press home button?

[REQ] Skip track via volume press

I'm searching this function since long time and I just cant' find this function like I would find it.
I would have a function which permit us to skip song with a long press on a volume button and may be return on the previous song with another button pressed.
Well, for the moment, on ROM like 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 V5 by pfonk, there is no perfect solution :
> buy some apk like player pro which need to wake the screen to skip the song
> test all apks called "next track, and co." of the market
> keep a custo'rom with some parts of cyanogen in it (I tested a lot but for daily use, there is always something that goes wrong with me)
I just found some subject on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257260&highlight=skip+song+volume+button
http://miuiandroid.com/forums/showthread.php?7356-MOD-Skip-track-via-volume-press
I hope that someone had some ideas to bring a solution to this problem
Thanks for your time
Some other ROMs have this by default. Mini Cm7 Pro v21 is on CyanogenMod settings.
Sorry for english

Simply use PowerAMP that app have it as an option
Really can't see it in PowerAMP, just headset buttons, but nothing about volume buttons...
Are you sure ?
Do I need to buy some new eyes to see it ?
I have seen it before, don't remember if it is a special apps or in the Android settings, but it allows you to skip track by a long press on the camera button
As far as I've used my X10 mini pro on the stock rom I've used this without requiring anything? Default music player and skip with volume buttons
EDIT: Fixed phone model
May be on big X10, I don't know, but not on our X10 Mini Pro
That always worked for me, on cm6 and cm7 roms, I use mortplayer now but used others before and always worked.
Yeah, but except ROM CM6 and CM7, it does not work...
on stock it also worked.. if the rom your using is not based on cyanogen or not stock then ask the developer of it to fix?
I mean if you tried players with that option and still doesnt work then something is missing in the rom to make it work.

2.1.1.Clean.0.0 has all the standard music-related stuff ripped out, player, library, service provider etc. But all can be downloaded from post #2 in it's thread and easily restored.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Well I'm sorry but I test right now on 2.1.1.C.0.0 Official, not the pfonk version....and the official player doesn't respond when I press a long time on volume button... Like I remembered.
But For sure, it could work with playerpro which give this possibility.
The problem with these players is that they don't propose the possibility to skip song with screen off:
you must reactivate it with a little press before a long press to skip song.....
and unfortunaly when you do that, the screen stay on during few seconds.
In this time, the screen respond in my pocket and press "next" on the lockscreen widget (which is necessary to ake work the "skip when volume button pressed".
So... I look for:
a player pretty light which is capable to skip songs thanks to volume button, without reactivate the screen..
or may be a module which could work on official or Clean version of official rom.
Any ideas ?
This file can't be ported or help to my problem ?
i found an app called TactilePlayer in th Android dev thread, will try to find the link for it. But it provides hardware button controls without needing to root/flash rom.
(edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337009 )
Most custom roms that run CyanogenMod have feature built in and can be found under:
Settings > CyanogenMods settings > Input > Volume Button music controls []
Well Well Well, it works pretty well, I test it with UberMusic and even if it's a little special when the user wants increase the volume, it's already better than the playerpro's option.
Anyway, tks for that, I really like it !
If someone find a solution better again, please tell us.

Wanamlite 3.6 - Rising Volume issue

I've just updated to 3.6 from 3.5 - the issue has been in both. I also just flashed Siyah 1.6 but not sure if that would affect it anyway - I'm thinking not.
I like to have my call volume start soft and increase slowly. I'm often in a quiet environment and will hear the call as soon as it rings - having it loud to allow for times I am in the open/crowds scares the bejeesus out of me when I am sitting quietly. As far as I know I lost it when I moved to Wanam but it may have been earlier - I flashed Revolution at one point with Superwipe & I can't recall having the facility since then.. I have been learning which involved flashing lots of different ROMs to find differences/techniques etc.
Any advice on how to get it back would be appreciated.
Hm, I jusgt tried going back to a Stock ROM and it doesn't have the increasing volume option either. Maybe I'm dreaming/confusing it with the function on the Alarm clock I downloaded?
Or perhaps it was a mod in a ROM I tried earlier...
Anyone know of a way to do this? Preferably with a dialler that replaces the normal rather than one which adds an extra on to the current set up.

[Q] Device auto pressing home during games in all 4.1 ROMs?

So guys, while 4.2 runs much better on our device I keep coming back to different TW based JB ROMs just because the AOSP camera sucks badly and the pictures taken with the Samsung camera app are far better, however on every single one of these ROMs, reagardless of the kernel I use, when I fire up a game it doesn't take long before my device starts hitting the home button by itself, it will either launch the task switcher or go back to my homescreen, go back into the game and it happens again.
This is extremely annoying and I always have to end up making the decision between taking good pictures or being able to play games, I haven't seen anyone post anything similar to this yet and I know it probably isn't hardware related because it works fiine on other versions, is there anything I can do?

LineageOS music app "repeat-one song" mode queue issues

Playing any song in repeat one mode basically locks the prev and next buttons. You can't play next song (or the previous one) without disabling it. Turns out its a bug in music v3 and was absent in cm12 and cm13.
Things I have tried
>Going through lock screen every time I wanna change a song ... reeaaally enjoying it btw (long press vol up and down are useless too)
> Importing cm "eleven" apk from older rom and other devices ... they weren't compatible with nougat.
>Recompile music app ... turns out I am a bigger noob than I thought.
>Install 20+ music apps in hopes of finding a good alternative ... I failed. (seriously you can't beat colored notifications and that size plus its a hassle to change music player every time I install a new rom)
So considering that its a bug (or a logic defying feature) could someone pass me a compatible music apk and/ or let the developers know about the issue. Any other suggestions are welcome too.
