MC Settings in SB mmusic

VolumeMC is a tweak that is available via Cydia. This is a tweak that is installed  on your device along with a toggle for SBSetting. To activate if you can go into SBSettings.  The tweak is compatible with the status bar iPod icons Notice in the last screenshot song has been paused,you can see paused icon.

We tested this tweak and found it very useful in many different scenarios  (even tough you can access similar controls one the inbuilt Stereo Headset Shortcuts one example of this coming Handy is -  i have my iPhone Mounted in the car this comes handy if i need move on to a different song as i don’t have to unlock the screen. You will find this tweak a little annoying in the beginning because you are use to hitting the Volume button to raise or lower the Volume,but you can channel that out as you get use to it being active.

What it does?  : Once Active it turns your Volume Button on the side into Controls for iPod.

Once Active in SBSettings  you can play a song without launching the iPod App ( You can start a song even if the screen is locked).

Features :

Play (start iPod) | Skip  Song | Previous Song | Pause |

How does controls work:

  • Volume Up – Starts Playing Song
  • Volume Up :  Skips Song
  • Volume Down : Previous Song
  • Pressing Volume Up & Then Down : Pauses the playing song.
