Description:

NoAccSplash’s aim is to allow playback controls to remain active on an iOS device when connected to an external accessory that ordinarily locks playback controls because the manufacture thinks you would be using the accessories built in controls instead. This tweak should at minimum allow you to use Music playback controls found in the Music app, SpringBoard’s AppSwitching bar, and the lock screen. The original incarnation of this tweak was called NoAccessorySplash which currently works for iOS 3.x and 4.x and was made by a developer named Jack Norris. I have no affiliation with him and merely took over this tweak to further its development to get it iOS 5.x ready. This tweak is open sourced on Github so if you know what you’re doing then you can do what you want with it. Currently NAS will be hosted on theBigBoss Repo free of charge.

 

Features:

  • Allows Playback controls in SpringBoard and Music app (when otherwise blocked)
  • Works for iPod/iPhone/iPad on iOS 4.x and 5.x
  • Allows viewing of Videos with the audio routed through the accessory
  • Preference panel to switch some features off
To Add ( Maybe by me or someone else ):
  • Add so selections from SpotLight actually play  (Maybe get rid of where you select and it goes in and plays only that Artist?)
  • Add so selections from VoiceControl work  (Again, get rid of where you select and it goes in and plays only that Artist?)
  • Add so AutoPlay doesn’t happen (You plug in and immediately Music.app plays, change to whoever had MediaPlay last)
  • Some apps like navigation apps, stop playback altogether to make a voiced announcement. (Continues playing after, without tweak)

 

Changes:

Version 1.7: Brings Preference Panel to switch mainly Video features off.

Version 1.6: Brought iPad 5.0.1 support, Global Videos support, and synced these features with 4.x compatibility

Version 1.5: Brought backwards compatibility for iOS 4.x (broken on repo but will be fixed in the next update)

Version 1.0: Initial launch, just brought back playback controls for Music app in iOS 5.0.1

  5. Brandon,
    Thanks for your work on this app, I’ve been using it for a long time and it has been one of my favorite apps. I did a re-jailbreak about a month ago with redsnow’s newest version and it hasn’t worked for me since. Any ideas?

    • it should just work.. what version are you running of iOS

      Thumb up 0 Thumb down 0

      • 5.0.1. Here is what I just tried doing, but it did not help:
        - Uninstall NoAccSplash 1.7-1
        - Re-jailbreak with redsn0w_win_09.10b5c
        - Install NooAccSplash
        - I then tested it in my car and got the dreaded “Accessory Connected”.

  6. This app needs more publicity! The only thing we need now is the AutoPlay disable feature to work!

  7. Excellent work though doesn’t help my specific situation quite. Fix the autoplay though and you’ll be a lot of folks’ hero!

    • What is your specific situation?

      Thumb up 0 Thumb down 0

      • I use a Kenwood headunit (with 1/8″ aux input as well as USB ‘ipod/iphone’ input). The splash has never been an issue with this unit and my iphone. The autoplay of the music is though. I found out about the NoAccSplash searching for fixes to THAT problem and I see it’s bullet #3 on the ‘To Add’ list.
        I did a (very) little digging on the plists on my phone hoping that would be some simple to toggle. Alas, no. Anyways, get this fixed and I have a VERY useful iphone enhancement (and would of course be happy to donate for that fix!).

        Regardless, good work to the community.

  9. You are my hero, my mobile savior and my new best friend!
    I went cheap and bought an inexpensive ipod integration device for my 2002 Acura TL that plugs into the back of the OEM audio unit. Sounds great, but I cannot control music playback. All I could do was start the play and plug in the iphone, only to see the fugly “Accessory connected” splash screen. I’ve been finding ways to go around the problem since, but your solution is THE solution and not a work around. Thanks!

    Hi Brandon
    iPhone 4S user here. iPod app works fine when playin in horizontal but I’ll get a STUCK SCREEN every time I put the phone into landscape mode.

    When the screen is stuck I flip the phone back to horizontal an it starts to work again but if I put it into landscape the screen will freeze again

    Anyway is already one of my favorites tweaks
    Thanks mate

  11. I’m sorry, but I’m not understanding what to download on my Windows PC to install on the iOS 5.1 iPod Touch? What to I click to download? How do I install it?
    My iPod Touch used to work in my car stereo interface, but now I get this lockdown screen. This site seems to have a solution, which I’d be interested in donating to, if it work. Help :)

    • Open Cydia and install NoAccSplash?
      There should be no PC involved unless you are jail breaking and this isn’t exactly the thread to be asking that in ;P

      • What is Cydia? My ipod touch is not jailbroken, but I would like to workaround the “accessory connected” no access problem. What can I do to resolve this?

        Thumb up 0 Thumb down 0

        • Cydia is the “AppStore” that came before Apple launched the iOS AppStore. It is installed by jail breaking your device. But since your device is on 5.1 you will have to connect your iPod to your computer and run a program anytime you wanted to reboot… If you are OK with that go to the following link for a guide on jail breaking, then you can installed NoAccSplash from inside Cydia.
