How to get the most out of a 1 button headset

As someone who listens to music very often on my phone, I have always been jealous that iPhone users have so many choices of 3 button headsets that not only control media, but volume as well. There are some 3 button headsets that work for some android devices, but as far as I know, none of them work with the moto x. Personally I am looking for my headset to have 5 functions:
-play/pause
-next track
-previous track
-volume down
-volume up
I have recently figured out how to find a setup that achieves this with minimum inconvenience. There are many apps in the playstore that add more functionality to 1 button headsets, but they have 2 issues that I have have seen.
1) they allow the user at most 4 functions
2) they break the lock screen music controls that were introduced in ICS.
Problem #1 can be fixed by an app I recently discovered that allows you to program up to 5 clicks on your headset and therefore allows me the 5 functions I'm looking for. The app can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shengande.degausslabs
There is unfortunately no way to fix the 2nd problem. There are 3rd party music widgets that can be placed on the lock screen, but they are inconsistent at best with google play music. The work around I have found is to use The app Nils lockscreen notification: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
This app can display the notifications you allow it to over the lock screen as a widget. I am only allowing it access to music right now, but you can allow it access to any notification. Now when I listen to music, my lock screen looks like:

I know there are other solutions if you're rooted or on a custom rom , but this will work stock. Hopefully this information is useful to those who want 3 button functionality on a 1 button headset.

The actual media player can have a great effect on that functionality as well. I use GoneMAD which has options that allow me to create whatever I want using just a 1-button remote with a variety of button presses/sequences, no extra app required.

True. I was going on the assumption that most people use Google play music, but I'm sure many are still using others.

[No Root or Sideloading] Stream Kodi From Computer to Fire TV

I love XBMC/Kodi, but I have always had small issues/bugs with the android version, not to mention I have all of my media on an internal drive in my computer, so getting it from my computer to my Fire TV is a hassle (making a server, using SQL, etc.) I've had to settle on Plex, which is great, but I just like the XBMC interface a lot more. Now I have come up with a pretty clever idea to solve my problems. What if I stream Kodi on my computer to my Fire TV? And it works perfectly. It's not for everyone, and you're going to need a decent enough computer to do this, but for me it is perfect.
REQUIREMENTS:
PC:​Nvidia Graphics Card​Nvidia GeForce Experience​Kodi, any version should work​Fire TV:​Moonlight​
Open up GeForce Experience on your PC.
Go to the "Preferences" tab.
Click on "SHIELD."
Make sure "Allow this PC to stream to SHIELD devices" is checked.
Click the plus sign on the right hand side.
Navigate to where you have Kodi installed ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\Kodi.exe" or similar).

Now head over to your Fire TV, launch moonlight, connect to your PC. You will need to enter a PIN number that displays on your PC on your first launch.
Click on Kodi and boom you're in. It's fully navigable with the Xbox controller, and probably most other controllers you've got.

So you're essentially steaming what's on your computer screen, not the video file itself, yes? This could be useful for content only available on your computer or where there's no android app.

Yessir, nothing is transcoded, just streamed straight from your computer to TV. You could have your HTPC down in some corner of your basement, and stream it to the much more aesthetically pleasing Fire TV upstairs. Also you're very right you could also use this to stream something DRM-protected and not available on Android (read: iTunes) to your Fire TV as well!

Thats pretty cool! But I've never had any real problems with kodi on fire tv and been using 3 of them for nearly 2 years now. No issues with MySQL, all boxes sync up fine from the server running on a macbook. I mainly stream local from a pretty affordable 4 tb WDMyCloud. I guess if I owned a high end HTPC I might be more interested.

Or just use Plex? ?

I bought this radio on Black Friday of 2017 and ever since then it seems like it has just been one headache after another. I've done Desktop Support, been a NOC engineer, and currently pursuing my OSCP so I'm not computer illiterate; yet this makes me feel like I am. One of the things that interested me was the 10-band stock EQ. Then that was removed. Fine, I'll go to V4A. Nope. That doesn't work anymore. I knew beforehand that some of the buttons on the face wouldn't do what they stated they'd do but the option to reprogam them in the Joying settings only works on touchscreen buttons, not physical ones. The radio is fine. Just fine, could be better. Basically here's a short list of what I'm trying to do. I've tried more apps, APKs, and reflashes in the past few months than I can even begin to remember. I don't care how much effort this takes to get it going, as long as it just works. I don't know if what I'm asking for is even possible but at this point I'm tired of going in circles.
-A good, 10-band, virtualizer EQ that works on the entire unit. Something that will affect every bit of audio played.
-A way to reprogram the front-facing buttons.
-Preferably a better radio with HD funtionality
-A quick way to tether internet to the device. (I was using Bluetooth Tethering PRO but it made the unit super slow and unresponsive at times. Ideally gain connection by just plugging my phone into the USB connector but any way will work. I can't seem to get it to function. I'm on Verizon, which from what I've read restricts stuff like that.)
-A car launcher that keeps all functionality. (I was using Car Launcher AG but then I lost all functionality of the Bluetooth player unless I spammed source until I landed on it. Choosing BT Music only took me to the pairing screen.)
-Is there a way to replace stock apps? Like say I found a better app and wanted to replace a stock selection when Source scrolls through, could I do that? Like the Aux app for instance that has a video feed on it for no discernible reason

Cannot Cast from phone to TV

I can CAST directly to my TV from apps, for example by tapping a photo in Google Photos, but I cannot cast the screen. It does not identify my TV as being available, though it does detect my PC. The TV is on the same WiFi network, and my phone must be able to communicate with it or I would not be able to cast successfully from apps.
In the Shade when I click the CAST BUTTON it does not respond in any way, eg. change colour, as other buttons do. Should it? However, I do get the notification which has the 'not found' report.

Hi, if you been able cast screen previously, and now it isn't work anymore, your problem probably will be in your network configuration. Firstly you should start with restarting -router and tv, unplug power cord, after cca 1 min reconnect -> test -> let us know..

It would be helpful to know what TV (Brand) or TV OS you point at. But it very much sounds like you are sharing via Chromecast (as you mention Google Photos works). But casting the Screen requires a Miracasts capable TV.... You can still cast the screen from within the Google Home App...
