MusicBar: Cool tweak to control music from anywhere.

MusicBar_lockscreen MusicBar_App

MusicBar lets you to change a song or play/pause a song. You might be thinking so whats so special about it? Well with MusicBar you can operate those functions from anywhere you are on, I mean you don’t need to quit an app to change a track. All you need to do is to tap on top left corner (just where it shows Carrier name) of your springboard and you will see a new status bar with music controls on it. Before installing this I was thinking that whether it will work with SBSettings or not, but it worked fine. It even works when your springboard is locked. Since this is a tweak you wont see any icons or toggles on your springboard.

The only problem I faced with Music Bar is that I find it hard to launch it sometimes, I mean it is not as responsive and sensitve as SBSettings which needs to be fixed soon. Once launched I dindn’t faced any issues with controlling music.

MusicBar is available on cydia under iSpazio repo for free.

It doesn’t work for me at all. I have sbsettings, but according to this it should still work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Seems to work a lot easy if instead of pressing the left of the screen you use a”dragging down motion” as though you literally pulling it down from the top of the carriers name..works every time for me and i have sbsettings… hope that helps!

Better still just hold for 2 secs and let go…

ok, i found out why its so unresponsive. Basically you have to tap RIGHT in the corner, so to practice go to your springboard and you wanna tap the ‘i’ in ‘iPod’ on the top left if that doesn’t work keep trying till you find the sweet spot. All done!
