[ONE General] nag4pl:
First of all let me thank all the devs who are involved in getting custom ROMs to their beloved users.

As I am using OnePlus One with BlissPop – I thank [MENTION=5168118]Vortex1969[/MENTION] and team for their effort and dedication.

This guide is under OnePlus One forum but not limited to. Can be used on any custom ROM with Pie Launcher inbuilt.

What’s this all about?

It’s about Life of Pie in Android! Not completely. Pie can do many, here focusing only to control music.

Its for those people who want to control the music playing without actually swiping to notification drawer or using hands free buttons or opening particular music app. No matter which screen you are on, swipe and control music. If you are interested please continue, if not or already got this done – please ignore this guide!

Assumptions:

As we are in XDA, it’s my assumption that:

-	You know more than what am describing in this guide! (Not compulsory!)

-	You know what pie launcher is and how to configure it. (If not- not an issue XDA forum is to help you out, so do I am!)

You need these:

As stated already, Custom ROM with Pie Launcher enabled. And access to its customization or configuration.

Media Utilities (available in Play Store) should be installed and configured. Refer screenshot# 7 for configuration.

Interest and very little patience!!

I have classified this customization to 3 different usages. Read them and choose which is opt for you:

Pie for Music: With this Pie is completely dedicated to Music control. Users with phones having physical navigation buttons can go for this.

Pie with Music: Use Pie – Use Pie for Music. With customizing long press action; on long press of pie button - control music. You won’t see music control buttons, but still nothing stops to do a trick!

Pie first Music Next: Get both. First layer for Navigation. Second layer for Music control.

Let’s get in detail!

1. Pie for Music:

Screen shot references: 1 and 2

What if you have a smartphone with physical buttons for navigation (such as back, home and recent) and never got a reason to use pie. With pie launcher built in your custom rom, you can make use of it any time. No matter whether you are reading a book or playing a game – but wanna play music on the fly? Here is a quick help how you can get that done.

a) Go to Pie Settings under Settings > ‘abc’ROM interface (a section of setting with lots of customization options) > Navigation Options > Pie Control. It’s not necessary that pie should be available here, check in your ROM’s specific forum thread for finding exact location.

b) Under Pie Control > Buttons > Press on first button (by default it may be configured for Back button). You should get “Choose action:”

c) Click on Custom app > Scroll down and click on “Media Utilities Action” and choose “Previous” under available actions.

d) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for other buttons configure “Play/Pause” and “Next” accordingly.

e) You are done! Play music from pie!

2.Pie with Music:

Screen shot reference: 3 and 4

If you are already a fan of Pie and using it as daily drive and wanna get music control over existing keys follow this. You need to configure long press action for pie buttons as below:

a) Same as 1a

b) Under Pie Control > Buttons > Long Press on first button (by default it may be configured to none). You should get “Choose action:”

c) Refer 1c to 1e!

3.Pie first Music Next:

Screen shot reference: 5 and 6

You must be aware of two layers of pie.. Primary or first layer for usual navigation and use or configure second layer for music control. You will get a two layer pie when you swipe at configured swipe area.

a) Same as 1a

b) Under Pie Control > Buttons > Buttons Second Layer > Press on first button. You should get “Choose action:”

c) Refer 1c to 1e!
