Ok ... once again I will ask if there is any possibility to decrease the power consumption of Phantom. Currently I'm using the free-version together with this tasker-thing (by Cptnodegard) but look at my screen:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1097401&stc=1&d=1338489753
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I will do something to resolve this. It should not really consume so much power, but sometimes this happens when there is more instances of Phantom :-(. I will fix it ASAP.

Could you please add support for spotify? The headset mode work for switching only the title is never been shown. Also i had to disable headset support in poweramp to prevent poweramp to Start if i'm pressing pause or play....

Btw already donated ;)

EDIT: Found a way to hide the widget in headset mode when i disabled spotify. Automateit: new Trigger: (kill spotify) -> kill phantom music control. After that rule the widget is hidden. If i tap on the hidden widget it will be shown again :) So the only thing that i miss is the title :'(
[Android Apps and Games] EH15:
There seems to be lag on button touches on ICS. I was using this before on GB and I have had this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I always recommend to contact Spotify to add Headset controls support. If they get enough request, maybe it will start to work :-).

You know what's weird? Lately I receive a lot of e-mails about Phantom being laggy with ICS and/or Google/Play Music. I have ICS on my Desire, I exclusively use Play Music, and I have not experienced such issue whatsoever :-(. Please try to reinstall it, just to prevent some fishy issues with more instances of the widget. And make sure you only use one :-).
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
After LONG wait, a little update is on. I hope there will be more soon.

Changelog

1.62:

- Due to new Google Play policies, PayPal payment option had to be removed

- Holo theme implemented

- The widget should be able to wake itself soon after it has been killed by 3rd party app

- API (used in Web Remote for Phantom Music) no longer requires the widget to be actually placed on screen

- Several bugfixes
[Android Apps and Games] shinesthru:
Update fc's upon opening, report sent.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I am so sorry for the bug. I feel so stupid lately. Update has been published, and until it's distributed, you can use this APK instead:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388416/PhantomMusicControl.apk

Thank you for understanding.
[Android Apps and Games] shinesthru:
Dude, it's okay! Don't stress about it. Thanks for the apk. Also, not a complaint, just a report: the theme drop down is whited out, and holo doesn't appear to be an option.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
APK with fixed Holo is on the same address. Please let me know if it is OK now :).

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388416/PhantomMusicControl.apk
[Android Apps and Games] shinesthru:
Works well, thank you!

While I have your attention, I wanted to ask if incorporating album artwork is a possibility to be included in a future version. I am running a Touch Wiz ROM with. Widgetlocker, and would love to emulate the AOSP ICS lock screen. The only thing missing is lock screen music controls with album artwork. Thanks again!

Edit: ignore that, just read 2 pages back. Sorry for the duplicate request.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Please support Audiogalaxy. It is pretty popular and I would love support for it. I've asked before....and others agreed with me. Still not supported though.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Hi, guys! New update should be available within few minutes.

Changelog

1.63:

- Usable as Android 4.2 lockscreen widget

- 2 new themes by DeVviL

- Updated translations (now localised to 19 languages!)

- Some bugs and crashes fixed
[Android Apps and Games] XDarkPhoenixX:
This doesnt seem to actually play music

Im trying to find a Music player widget for the Widget lock-screen that hides/condenses (1x1) . So with Phantom It hides and un-hides well but that's it... I press play, next, back and nothing happens it just hides/un-hides. Im using the stock Samsung galaxy 2 firmware (Havent upgraded to ICS yet) It's not rooted anymore and Im using Go launcher. Is there somewhere specific I need my music? The stock player plays my music fine.

So not sure what going on and why all it says is No track loaded and doesn't load a track on press play.

Also when music is already playing in the stock player adding the Phantom widget just skips to next next song over and over without pressing anything and it still says no track.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
What player did you choose in Phantom? Advanced Compatibility Mode, Google Music or TouchWiz profile should work.
[Android Apps and Games] XDarkPhoenixX:
Yeah I changed it To Mod music 1.8. Works now. But only on mod music 1.8.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Well, there are definitely better players supported :)
[Android Apps and Games] JWhetstone02:
Phanton Music Control Pro

I bought the pro version from the market in hopes that it will support Google Play.

I am not even getting this application to show up in my app list or widget list.

Go Launcher EX

HTC Sense

Neither will display the app, but I can install and uninstall it fine. I got this from the market and it is showing version 1.0.3 ... is this correct?

Device: HTC Droid DNA running 4.1.1

EDIT: the free version from the market is 1.63 and it works fine, just doesnt support the pro features I want
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
You need to install both, as stated in the description :). The paid version is just an activation key.
[Android Apps and Games] fcastillousfq:
Audible

I wish that this widget can automatically switch among any of the apps that play music. Just like the native android widget.

It's missing support for Audible too
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Hi, guys! Latest update is on.

Changelog

1.64:

- New CarbonRoundBlueGlow theme by Jeppe Foldager

- Sony Walkman (Xperia) support

- Better landscape support (widget doesn't lose information, text is not cropped)

- Official Last.fm support, that allows you to show track info i.e. in n7 Player
[Android Apps and Games] NoValidTitle:
So I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the whole widget doesn't function as it should. I bought Pro thinking it would fix the issue. Problems are...

1) It doesn't auto hide! I'm trying to use PowerAmp. When I stop it or unplug my headphone the widget never hides. Tried rebooting. Hiding is checked in the Phantom settings.

2) I can't select "Choose your music player:" It's greyed out.

3) Show music player on touch doesn't work either. It says Unable to run the music player.

On the bright side it shows what's playing and the controls work, but so does every other widget in the world. It's a Galaxy Note II on 4.1.2 and I'm using widget locker.

*edit*

Somehow enabling the hot swap button allows it to work as it should. Strange.

Has anyone got winamp to work with this? I tried changing it to compatibility mode like it says but that didn't do anything. It still shows the track that's loaded(not playing) in poweramp.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
1) Make sure that you choose PowerAmp within music player selection in Phantom. Not Advanced compatibility mode, and definitely not auto-detect.

2) Those only show up when you place the widget or via hot-swap feature. I need to work on this till next update.

3) You need to have the right player selected. If you use Advanced compatibility mode, you can choose any app you want.

Winamp works in compatibility mode, but you need to enable headset controls and Last.fm scrobbling within its settings. You do not need to actually use Last.fm or install any of its apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I have published new version. It will appear on Google Play soon.

Changelog

1.65:

- It is now possible to change music player via launcher icon

- Improved Sony Walkman compatibility

- Added instructions for Winamp users who do not receive track info

- Fixed bug that caused the widget not to hide on some phones
[Android Apps and Games] JWhetstone02:
I seen it posted months/years ago, but what is the possibility of getting the "artist - track" information from Pandora to work?
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Well, it's not available in my country :(. It still doesn't support any kind of Last.fm scrobbling?
[Android Apps and Games] JWhetstone02:
I don't know. I never use last.fm
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
It doesn't matter. Please try to find it there and turn it on. You do not need to have Last.fm account at all.
[Android Apps and Games] moonrakerone:
Unfortunately there is no scrobbling options within pandora :(
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
That's what makes it harder to implement. Also the thing with it not being available in Czech Republic :(.
[Android Apps and Games] rupa:
Please consider adding support for DoggCatcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Fireworkfan:
Does this one work with Spotify?
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Unless they finally managed to implement headset controls and Last.fm scrobbling, it does not. DoggCatcher is the exact same story. Sorry for that.
[Android Apps and Games] JWhetstone02:
Was there ever a feature to let you change the font and font size of the 'artist - track'

Would it be easy to implement?

The only way I can change the font is changing the entire system fonts.

-HTC Droid DNA-
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
It is planned, but don't know when I will actually do it :).
[Android Apps and Games] weiyu:
Does it work with Neutron Music Player?
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I beleive it was not tested yet. Try it by yourself, please. Switch Phantom to Advanced Compatibility Mode, and if it's not working, check your music player for Last.fm scrobbling and Headset controls and make sure that these are on. It doesn't matter whether you use Last.fm or not. In some rare situations you might also need to reboot your phone.

If it takes more than 15 minutes and still doesn't work, do not worry, and send me an e-mail. I will refund you anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] weiyu:
Hi,

Just tried, but doesn't work. Hmmmm. Is it possible you could talk to the Neutron Music Playor' author to workout a solution? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Cano IV:
Hi

I tried to used in my Gnex but once I touch it the widget disappear :(

iSense Music Support

Can you offer support for the iSense music player, this is the best player in my opinion.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
New version should be available for all of you right now :).

- DashClock Widget Extension

- New chromeless theme

[Android Apps and Games] Kallli:
Does anyone have the same "problem" that it takes a few seconds to update the current title if you push next title? Also the play/pause button doesn't change from play to pause or pause to play immediately if I push it.
[Android Apps and Games] jman0:
I've also noticed the delay in changing the title, but my play/pause button works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Kallli:
When I hit the play/pause button twice it works fine. First hit stops the title and the second changes the button from play to pause. Furthermore I noticed that the title is updated when I touch on an empty place of the widget after touching the "next-title-button".
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Don't you use more than one Phantom widget at the same time?
[Android Apps and Games] kazemitsui:
Im trying this mod on an HTC One. I set the music player to auto detect and it worked the first time I added the widget.

I deleted that widget, added again. Tried auto detect, didnt work. then I tried using Sense Stock player or whatever its called. Didn't work

If I am using the stock Sense Music player which do I choose?

My rom is ARHD 12.1 (4.2.2) if that matters.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Since this version of Sense Music is much newer than the one it's optimized for, I would recommend Advanced Compatibility Mode.
[Android Apps and Games] kazemitsui:
Alright ill try it out, but you sir have created the widget I have been hoping for after I jumped from the sense lockscreen to widgetlocker!

But can you explain why it worked previously before I deleted the first widget. I did notice this though, music player set to Sense Music, can change the track, but when I press play it says (this audio file cannot be played)
[Android Apps and Games] Kallli:
No, just one on my lockscreen (WidgetLocker).
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
The auto-detect feature is a little wacky. I do not recommend using it, since there is too many variables. But "This audio file cannot be played" string is not even included within Phantom. It seems that the Sense Player sends it by itself. Let me know how the Advanced Compatibility mode works. Or just change it to Sense and try to reboot your phone. If everything fails, I will refund you.
[Android Apps and Games] jimmybusta:
Possible 90 degree flip?

Hello, weird question....

I mount my GS3 sideways when I'm driving, and I don't like having the screen set to auto rotate.

Sometimes I like to look and see what song is playing and it sure would be a lot easier if the widget were turned 90 degrees counter clockwise. Is that even possible? Love the app. No problems. I've been using it for a while now and love it. Simple and minimal. DIG IT!!

Samsung Galaxy 3

[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I'm actually planning a lot in the area of theming Phantom. It will take a lot of time, but I beleive that you will be able to do such thing later :).
[Android Apps and Games] LMR1200:
Hi,

Thinking about buying, but can anyone tell me if Spotify works with Phantom Music Controls?

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

Ignore my q... I searched the thread :)
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Yeah :(. I still don't understand why they don't support the headset controls yet.
[Android Apps and Games] wyldkard:
Great widget idean but it keeps giving me Problem loading widget every time i add it. Any idea why it wouldn't work?
[Android Apps and Games] flipn0tic:
Nice! The click-to-app feature works well so far in my testing. Using Music Mod on an EVO running 2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] Greenfieldan:
This is such a great widget. Thank you SO much for developing this :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
What is your phone model, ROM and Android version?
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
If you have experienced any problems since last update, I have just uploaded an update to Market. It should help.

Changelog

1.4.1:

- Fixed "Problem loading widget" and "Force close" on some configurations. If you still experience this issues, please uninstall the widget, reboot your phone and install it again. Thank you for understanding.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Changelog

1.4.2:

- Fixed background issue I have caused. Sorry for that. I need some rest.
[Android Apps and Games] samuraixzodus:
Thanks

Johny_G

Just wanted to give thanks for allowing your widget to come in black, It looks awesome really appreciate your work!
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I found some feature request in Market comments, so I implemented it :-). I have also fixed battery save mode. It should work a lot better now.

Changelog

1.5:

- Possibility to show volume control (optional)

- Fixed battery saving mode
[Android Apps and Games] k1018277:
Thanks for this.

I have an X10 and it works with the stock player and not Mediascape but that's not a problem as I don't use it anyway. Since the new updates, the widget says "Problem Loading Widget"

If you don't mind, can you upload version 1.3 please? I think this is the version before it stopped working.
[Android Apps and Games] k1018277:
I have just found that if I set the background to no background, it doesn't work but it works on 50%.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
New day, new update. One fix to resolve XDA report, one to fulfill e-mailed wish, and another one to address Market comment :-).

Question for all of you: Do you like these frequent but small updates, or would you prefer slower updates with more changes in it?

Changelog

1.6:

- Bugfix: "Problem loading widget" resolved definitively; themes and opacity settings only work on Android 2.2/Froyo and higher

- Music player can be started by clicking on a song name as well

- Buttons were remastered to higher resolution
[Android Apps and Games] :
I want Winamp Double Twist and Power AMP support pls ;-)

BTW: Would be great if it would be possible to diseable the Name of the titel.....
[Android Apps and Games] :
What about Audiogalaxy? I know it's a streaming service but maybe it's possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Poapfel: It seems that there might be PowerAMP support some day in the future :-). I will think about the song name, however I am not sure why do you want that :-).

jsimpson: Unfortunately, there is too many players to support. I will begin with the most wanted, however there is no guarantee that I will ever expand the media player support :-(.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not a problem man, I was just wondering. Thanks for the quick answer!
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
New version is here.

Changelog

1.7:

- Added tasty chromeless theme (see screenshots)

- Volume buttons were made easier to reach

- Added option to hide current track info

- Some minor layout cleanups
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I had to push one shameful update today :o

Changelog

1.8:

Fixed two embarrasing and long-lasting bugs

- Music player now can be launched on HTC as well

- Donation button fixed; please buy me a beer if you like the widget - I put wrong link to ALL older versions

Thank you, Ryan, for noticing and testing!
[Android Apps and Games] JamesC_:
Looks great!

Using the stock music, but I would <3 you forever if you got miui to work :)
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I have spend few hours on MIUI support, but it probably won't happen since Logcat is not working on MIUI ROM :-(. I have tried to blind-code it using stock player files, but it didn't work (I expected that, of course).
[Android Apps and Games] atomizasser:
to run the Logcat is necessary to replace the MIUI liblog.so with the CyanogenMod.

Here you the lib.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Oh, thank you. When I have some time, I will take a look at it.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
One Market comment with Sense UI request kept refreshing, so new version is out :-).

Changelog

1.9:

- Added new Sense-like theme (thanks to @GMKcz for the screens!)

- Some layout cleanups
[Android Apps and Games] DjGeraldo:
Last screen shot on the first post, Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls) FTW:D
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
She was even in the promo graphics (header of Phantom's Market page) for a while :-).
[Android Apps and Games] huxley_sparks:
Thanks for the great app, lockscreen looks minimal too.
[Android Apps and Games] faddys123:
does this support music player pro
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Not yet, but since it's just a mod of stock player, it definitely is possible. I got it partially functional for now (Pause/Next/Track name); I will contact the author to send me some details.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikooster:
I've already mentioned this to the dev but I wanted to add it in here:

The developer for a Droid X Rom called "Liberty" has somehow made a music player lockscreen that controls every music app, including streaming ones like Pandora. I use that ROM but I like Widgetlocker so it'd be awesome if that was possible with this widget!
[Android Apps and Games] crawler9:
Any chance of getting support for stock 2.2.2?
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Is there any problem with 2.2.2?
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Mmmmm, tasty :-)
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
Even if its a bit late: Totally agree! PlayerPro has at least about 50000 Downloads in the market :)
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
PlayerPro is definitely easy to support, but I just need one tiny little file from the author. And it takes a long time to reach the other devs :-(. Mostly they don't reply at all, sometimes they just stop replying (that's because they are spammed by newbies all day long, I suppose - but I hate this attitude anyway). But PlayerPro dev replied and promised me the file, so it should be done soon.
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
Thanks for the fast response, that is so damn good to hear :)

Is it a file i could extract for you? I know PlayerPro is paid software but if it is just about one single file for development-reasons there should be no problem with legality or am I wrong... just let me know mate.

And again: One of the best pieces of Software out there IMHO. Dont know why nobody else thought about a widget like this one until now... The look and functionality of my lockscreen has a very high priority :)
[Android Apps and Games] dubqnp:
I really like this widget, but for some reason the widget don't disappear when nothing is playing - am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
You surely do something wrong ;) Do u use it with widget locker? then try to uncheck "...but wait for widget locker to unlock" and enable therefore "...and reveal on touch". Then Press Play and Pause --> should disappear, reappear on touch, and also disappear when u unlock and lock again. BUT it wont disappear if you activate it by touch and then do nothing ;)

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] dubqnp:
Thanks! That fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] mstreet28:
Cannot wait to see you get this working with Player Pro...My default music app. C'mon dev(PlayerPro that is) let's get it done....
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
elburna: I have purchased PlayerPro myself because of Phantom (I guess I just like you guys :-) ), but I need a file from the source code that only developer has. As I think about it; in fact, I have invested more money to development than I received on donations :-). XDA is kinda disappointment for me in the dev-user relationship. Developers not giving a crap about users nor other developers (as I am - they never cooperate), users spamming threads and PMs (not my case, you are patient users) and never donating (I got two or three from 16 000 users, I guess). But I hate too aggresive donation requests and at least I made some of you happy :-).
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
I just found this, this is great functionality. Barely tried it out yet (just took all of my music off my phone after getting a new sd card and haven't put any back on yet)

I don't use paypal, but if you were to put a donate version up on the market for 1 or 2 dollars, I'd be willing to toss you a couple of bucks. :-)

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
Paid applications are not supported for Czech developers :-(. But you do not need PayPal account to donate. You can just enter credit card details into the PayPal form instead of logging in :-).
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
You can count on me for donating ;)

...via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
jeesh I don't like using paypal.

Why isn't their paid applications in your country? Just curious if you actually know the reason or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Johny_G:
I do not know, they expanded the list of supported countries few months ago, so we are now able to buy apps on market, but we still cannot sell. The list of merchant locations is here. It has to do something with lack of unicorn blood I suppose...
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
PayPal tries to trick people to signing up for an account. I used to get emails from confused people because I say on my site that no paypal account is required. This image helps:

(Probably a bit different for a donate rather than pay, but similar).
