Is it possible to access Google Play Music controls (next track, previous track, etc) while I'm in another app? Or do I need to switch back to the Music app each time I want to change songs?
If I could pull down the notification bar (which contains the Music controls) while in an app, that would work -- but I can't seem to figure out how to do that...
Thanks!
Do you mean this?

How do you mean that you don't have this feature?

Yes, but is there a way to pull down the notification bar when I'm in an app (like a game)?
What I'm looking for is something like the double-tap home button to access music control like on an iPhone/iPad. I'd prefer to not have to exit the app that's currently running when I want to changes tracks. BTW, I'm on 4.2 Jelly Bean.
When you can't see the notification bar, just press the multitask button and it wil appear

Hi,
I'm currently using Switchpro to toggle my controls and I absolutely love it but is there an app out there which does the same but puts the controls in the notification bar?
Something similar like they've done on the samsung galaxy s but with more options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thx
I'm not sure about an App to add this functionality?
But if you can get used to the Miui interface, it has that functionality built in.
I'm using the J-Style MIUI ROM and it's great.
from the notification bar i can change:
APN -ON/OFF
WiFi -ON/OFF
Rotation -ON/OFF
Backlight -OFF/LOW/HIGH/AUTO
Normal/Silent ring
Vibration -ON/OFF
Bluetooth -ON/OFF
GPS -ON/OFF
I don't know if you can use part of the MIUI ROM to get this to work on Sense/Non-Sense
completely overlooked this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838013
I've posted my question there
MIUI looks great but I'm not looking to change ROM's right now (might give MIUI a try in the future though!)
cheers

PS there is an app called "Quick Settings" which you can launch from notification bar, but it's an app so you don't see the controls immediatly when pulling down the notification bar
Is there any way to have different style lockscreen on Rogers latest rom with root?
I don't like pull-down bar. Swipe left-rigth looks better (or dialer style).
Is it possible? I found some zips for desire, flashed and got loopbug after HTC quietly brilliant logo.
Thank for support.
If you delete the htclockscreen.apk from the system using root explorer or something like that it gives you the stock"froyo" lockscreen

I renamed it but get weird lockscreen.
sliders work up/down instead of left/right. date and time shown on left side

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

What's wrong?
Besides when someone calls i need to pull down tab like in sense lockscreen
Was wondering if anyone had same issue.
I listen to a lot of music over Google Music. Ive noticed that I dont have a lockscreen widget (most of the times if not all the time) and quite often instead of the widget I get sort of artefacts from Camera (the lockscreen one) or the actual Google music Widget itself.
I'm only rooted everything is stock since start...
This is sort of what I get

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
This is mostly the same size as music widget on photo above

I have this same problem with the lockscreen. cm10 and franco's latest kernel at this time....
Thanks to bluecarbon for pointing this out. If you want to remove your navigation bar and use some type of pie controls (I'm using LMT) it can be done with a simple build.prop edit. Make sure you have a backup in case you make an error editing the file and be sure your pie app is up and running before you reboot.
Just go into system and add the following line to the build.prop file at the bottom, save and reboot (you may need to reboot more than once):
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

I had to reboot twice to get it to work.
yup it worked. thank you so much
You can also do this with GravityBox.
How do you stop the chrome three dotted drop down menu disappearing?
I find the virtual buttons a bit of a nuisance, I would much rather use gestures. I originally wanted to hide them only on my home screen, but it seems it's all or nothing with qemu.hw.mainkeys in build.prop.
I'm fine getting rid of them, however I'm wondering if there is a gesture system I can have instead, for example a swipe from bottom takes me to the home screen?
Edit: I'm on rooted stock 4.3.
I'm using cataclysm ROM which has a unique feature which fades out the buttons after ten seconds in any app. Other wise I think there's an xposed module that can have swipes to navigate.

Thanks man, turns out I was Googling for the wrong thing - once I figured out that they were called navigation bars I came across an app called " GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" for rooted devices. (For future people)
I'd rather keep with rooted stock for now but I will be sure to keep an eye on it for when I decide to dabble in roms.
