Hey guys,
I am currently running CM7 RC0 (kang build) with Siyah kernel. I like using the market google music app because I have the bulk of my music library uploaded. I've noticed the lock screen controls sometimes work for the google music app but success is spotty at best. I removed the AOSP music app and that just made the lock screen controls disappear altogether. Has anybody come up with a mod, I've read widget locker can do it but I'm reluctant at getting third party software for something this silly. I wouldn't mind going back to samsung framework roms if need be. I just haven't see anything of this nature tangible.

Thanks in advance for the responses.
p.s. search came up clean. sorry If i missed anything.

I'm not using cm7, so I can't test it out, but try agile lockscreen. It has music controls built into it to show we're up only when music is playing. Not two to mention it's an awesome lockscreen. I know you said no third party apps, like a lockscreen, but hey, no one was commenting.

And yeah, there's alot of 'lurkers' that use xda all the time but never create an account, so they can't comment.

Thanks hairy, I was one of those lurkers before simply because my previous sprint phone wasn't supported. Once I got my SGSII I signed up immediately because I knew this is where the party is at. lol

The google music app is a cool concept but leaves a lot to be desired: music controls and and an EQ. (fixed by dsp manager in cm7 but still)

I don't see agile lock screen in the market. maybe it was taken down?

Completely agree about google music. Hopefully google will give it some attention.

FYI, if you download "Equalizer" from the Android Market (the one with the good ratings), it integrates with Google music. It actually adds an EQ menu to the Google Music app that appears almost native. It works with other audio apps as well, but the integration is not as tight. It has unique features like an auto-EQ based on the Genre in the ID tags.

Still can't find a lockscreen though.
