Have Vol Up/Vol Down Skip Music Tracks

[Jonneh]

Found this over at XDA; no root required or anything like that.
I used to use Xposed to do this with my Nexus 5 while in the car. But I guess now there's a simple app for it. I didn't look into how it works or if it's staying on and draining battery or anything. I've only had the app installed for an evening + about an hour this morning, so results may vary (and let us know in this thread please). So far I haven't noticed any negative effect.

I have it set to Google Play Music and to have the volume up skip to the next track (when the screen is off) if I double tap the button.

There is another app that allows you to change the vol up and vol down keys to any shortcut or app you want to open upon double tap, but I haven't tried that one out yet as I haven't come up with a good personal use just yet.

I've used this before in the past. Do u notice that when you skip the volume goes down a notch or two? It did it on my note 2

Yeah, it goes up when I do it, so in the app there is a setting to immediately lower the volume back down when you hit the button. It lets you choose to minus 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. I have it set at 1 right now.

I always wanted to have an app which controls music with volume keys but i could not find any which does it smoothly. So I developed my own . My app Frinky Music Controller on GOOGLE PLAY controls music with volume keys and smartly controls music volume. It supports more 200 music players including poweramp, musixmatch, doubletwist, la musique, rocket player, blackplayer, pi music player, and Spotify. It works on both rooted and non-rooted phones.
Some features of the app are :
Next Song -- press volume UP key single time to play next song.
Previous Song -- use volume DOWN key to play previous song.
Control Volume -- when we want to control music volume , most of the time we press volume key more than once (next time when you adjust volume , feel it) . So the app uses this tendency of users as a function to control music volume i.e press volume key more than once to adjust volume.
Stop song -- Oh! you play music in your class in absence of professor here comes the professor .... turn off the music quickly by UP+UP+DOWN+DOWN key action (it takes less time than muting the volume and unlocking the screen .
Sleep Timer : Single sleep timer for all your music apps.
Manually control app's service : well to understand this feature you will have to download the app.
It consumes very less amount of ram.
I am new here so can not post link.

This is the exact app needed for music on the go. This feature seemed to be incorporated in the Cyanogen OS on my Oneplus but something like a G4 and G5 totally omits an important and valuable utility. Good job

Check out an app developed with the automation tool "Automagic" on Google Play:
