Hello, i have a question about one modification... i would like to have volume controls rempaped to following:
Volume up (short press): Volume up
Volume down (short press): Volume down
Volume up (long press): Next song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
Volume down (long press): Previous song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
I imagine there are some applications out there that can handle the short-press and long-press mapping, but the mapping to HTC Sense player might be really really tricky. Pressing up key (on joystick) jumps to next song, pressing down to previous song, but it works only when media player tab is selected... any other tab uses joystick for other purposes. any suggestions for realization are welcome
I would also appreciate mapping shallow press and release of camera button to play/pause, while shallow press followed by deep press would result in launch of camera (as was intended by sony) but that's not too important as i can simply mute the radio player.
The thing is i use this phone as a MP3 player for my car radio, it is far more intuitive to use hardware buttons instead of touchscreen, not to mention safety... I'm used to this keymapping from good old K750i, unfortunately for xperia, other OS, other habbit.

Just wondering if there's any app or mod out there that allows us to use the volume keys to change tracks. Really troublesome to take the phone out just to skip to the next track...
Hi everybody,
Is it possible to map the hardware buttons (volume rockers) to next and previous track upon long press of those buttons? I started using sgs as my music player after installing winamp.... But I still miss those dedicated hardware keys for changing the tracks while I'm driving.... Also the home button long press as "pause". I know this sounds ridiculous, but there can be a widget to enable or disable this functionalities... So that we can disable during normal usage....
depends on the media player software.

thanks, but i coudln't download from that torrent
I'll report the problem in that thread ...
Is this possible on the Captivate? I am on the latest Serendipity ROM. it has Skip with trackball option but our phone has no trackball!
Seems counter intuitive. I mean your playing music, the volume buttons seem kind of important. What if you want to turn it down and just end up skipping tracks?
Long press vs short press. Cyanogen mod on nexus one implements this.
I can't skip tracks with my HTC One.
With the HTC headphones (not Beats) the phone calls the last person on my calls list.
Is there a mod that could make the volume rockers skip tracks (double press vol+) or fix for the headphones?
All my older phones supported long press on the volume rocker to skip to next song, I know the from 4.1 that isn't available due to Google Now.
I don't think that any kernel supports that for now... You should try to download some apps from the Play Store that can remap the buttons in order to let you skip songs using the volume buttons...
I'm using a rooted Meizu smartphone (Android 7) that has one annoying "feature" for me: whenever I press the volume buttons, the system controls Media volume, even if no media is playing.
I want to be able to control Notification, Ringtone or both volumes if I link them (it would be nice to choose which one to control) if I press volume buttons, if no media is playing. I repeat: if no media is playing.
Of course I would want to control media volume if media is playing, it's stupid and illogical to control other volume when Media is playing, like it's stupid to control media volume when no media is playing, like it's happening by default on my phone.
I tried using an app, named Button Mapper: Remap your keys, assigning Volume + and Volulme - to volume buttons, but the system decides to control System volume (the one that sets volume for different system actions, like screenlock sound, camera shuter etc.). On another phone, a Xiaomi with MIUI 8, this app works correctly: if I assign Volume + and Volume - to volume buttons, system changes Notification volume (by default, MIUI control Media volume too, even if no media is playing).
What I've noticed is that this app could assign a Tasker Intent, as you can see in the screenshot I added, if this could be helpful.
I am a complete noob in Tasker, I really don't know what this and that does but I guess I can implement commands and tasks if someone would write them down.
