Yes, finally it is here!
After couple of hours of coding in smali and debugging endless boot loops it works.

Change your music tracks when your screen is off and music is playing by long pressing the volume buttons.

Update:
- New JB and ICS support
- New 500ms timeout used instead of 1sec.
- New CWM flashable zip
- New Diff available for ROM cooks

ICS: Wanam-Lite ROM 1.7
JB: Wanam-Lite ROM 4.3 (4.1.1)

Enjoy!

You need to replace your /system/framework/android.policy.jar with the one below.

I am sure the ROM chefs will be soon putting this in their new ROMs.

I used the Wanam-Lite ROM 1.6 to decompile the original android.policy.jar so if you are on some latest ROM it should work fine.

Enjoy!

Doesn't work in Paranoid 1.5a (CM9).
It doesn't boot any more.

This doesn't work on Omega 9 /Franco 10. Tried Poweramp and Sammy Music Player.

Changed permissions before rebooting so no problems there but long press on volume only makes the volume go up/down really quick as per stock.

I'm assuming this is just for Sammy roms as AOSP and AOKP already have these features built in.

True, only stock based ROMs shoudl be supported. CM9 and AOKP already have this feature.
I have tested it on Wanam 1.5 and Wanam 1.6 but others should be working too.

Replaced the file and changed permission. Reboot the phone and it behaves the same in Sammy player and PA. ICS lock screen is always on for PA. Long pressing up and down will only change volume for me. I am on stock ROM and kernel.

A feature I missed from the AKOP roms, thanks.

Buggers shouldn't be choosers, but any chance of compiling one with a shorter long press duration?

Might be a good idea. How many ms would you have in mind? It is about 500ms now.

I'm running Faryaab's AOKP and it's built-in, what AOKP are you running?

Actually, it's 1000ms in your version. I decompiled, changed LONG_PRESS_TIMEOUT:I to 12c and compiled again and it's working great. 12c = 300ms, which is a good value.

Ok good. If you are still able to change the volume too then it's fine. I will try when I get back from my vacation (on Wed)

Yes, it does. I didn't change any permissions and it works fine. Great mod!
