Development has discontinued!
Hi girls,
I've wrote my own volume control because there were no one which had the features I needed.
You can control it with the volume keys of your device or with your finger/stylus (but it has to be opened with the volume keys first).
Supports (W)(Q)VGA (means VGA, WVGA, QVGA and WQVGA). I didn't test it on Square resolutions.
It's written in C# for .NET 3.5 so you need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your device.
The "0" in major section of the version means it is beta and could have some bugs and/or is not feature complete.
Source Code is available in VolumeKeysCS.zip.
I'm not a professional so don't be scared

Yep, WVGA was the original resolution. Because of that I did not mention it in the changelog.
its certainly an addon in my roms as it supports wm6.5.3.
1st is dat on installation, i hav to go to volume key settings and then activate it from there. cant is be activated immediately after installation.
2nd when i changed the vol mode from on to vibrate to silent, i noticed that the tackbar icon didnt change.. is dat a bug?
Will definitely try if it works with wp 6.5.3 as reported above
Before I try it can somebody tell how it behaves in HTC Album and Windows Media Player(Portrait and landscape)?

#2 definitly seems to be a bug, the icon doesnt change but the phone is really silent/on vibrate
Another thing, which isnt really a bug but i noticed that if you just slide your finger up and it goes off the volume bar, it doesnt save the volume as max, but where you started 'sliding' it. It does the same thing with sliding down.
Not sure if this is a very good explanation of the problem, hope you know what i mean.
Seriously though, this is great, nice minimalistic design, non-intrusive and blends in nicely with manila. Ill definitly be using this from now on!
Oh and maybe make it work for landscape? Not sure if you need it, just toying with ideas here.. Great work man
This is a great little program. Good job. Having more then 5 volume levels is great. The only things I see that need worked on are in-call volume adjustment (does not seem to do anything on my Diamond/6.5.3 SYS) and the aforementioned taskbar icon. I really like the UI you've used. You'd think microsoft could come up with something so simple .
edit - also, on VGA, the vibrate button does not seem to register presses.
great app for all the 6.5.3 lover
i can live with the taskbar icon not changing.
but there are a few other things i noticed that may need some attention!
- volumekeys not seem to work with In Call volumes.
- also when you have a incoming call, the application seem to create some problem receiving\ending call while using endkey\sendkey\onscreen slider. I tested the application on HTC phone canvas from rhodium 1.90 build (cant remember the version of the package )
other than these we have an excellent application
keep up the great work!
Thanks for your reply. I've added your finds to the issues/todo list.
I'll have a look tomorrow.

yes i too have noticed the lag in receiving calls.
otherwise a neat effort and an app much needed for current builds.
Very nice app here! Already a keeper...
Would you mind posting a EVK installation package? I'm using KitchenPackageUpdater-1.12a to import cab but I can't get the icons in Start Menu... but it works out of the box, at least!
What is EVK?

Ervius Visual Kitchen!
How should such a package look? Do you have a sample?
Sure, this is a regular cab installer, while here you can find the corresponding installation package.
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for this great little app.
It's been really useful. The only thing I would like to see added is
support for the standard htc youtube app. Since it doesn't seem to work well together. Volume goes from nothing to loud and back with no
small volume steps in between. Although these small steps do show in your app it doesn't effect the volume like it should.
Looking forward to future updates.

You just need to edit your app.dat to get it to show up in the start menu. When I made the cab into an EXT, the .lnk shortcuts were going to /windows/start menu when they should be going to /windows/start menu/programs. That is probably why everything worked, but you were unable to see the shortcuts in the start menu. I have attached an EXT package that should work, but I have not tested it.

Thanks, I'm trying!
I am running agent_47's Valkryie leo rom (valkyrie.ftp v5.4.23517).
I have search high and low for a fix to get the full snooze options instead of just the 5 mins.
this lead me to Digicast Solutions' Snooze Options.cab which is a newer version of the crackwhore one.
I also came accross registry edits for hklm/system/shell/notification etc.
None of these have worked. After running them I seem to get no snooze option at all. hitting the left or right button during a reminder just seems to cancel it.
Anyone know how to get the various snooze option back. I saw a picture somewhere of a leo with the full options but even searching that forum hasnt helped me.
Edit manila is 2.5.19222911.0
os 5.2.23515
Same Problem here
I've got the same prob. Have searched high and low with no result.
What happened? I use my alarm clock everyday..and today it disappeared. I downloaded Alarm Clock Extreme at some point, cause I read that people had problems with the alarm function disappearing, but I didn't have a problem till this morning. What gives...and how do I get it back, without wipping out the phone?if there is no fix..then I will just keep using the program I downloaded in case of emergency
Thanks
AJ
I know the OTA 2.3.3 update broke a lot of peoples phone (including mine). What ROM are you running?
I dont know but in my incredible 2 if i touch the big clock i could see the alarm and the weather.if you dont have the big clock you can go to personalise and you can find the alarm clock. I have skyrider rom.
If you have rooted your Inc 2, and using titanium backup, you can get the clock back by going into the backup/restore section and scroll down till you see clock.
click on it and hit the the defrost button. Restart and you will have your clock back.
If not rooted... Sometimes a hard reset will work, but it will be like starting all over again with your phone.
It's an ongoing issue, the app is still there but the icon disappears. One easy way to get it back is to download Any Cut from the market (it's free) and use that to create a new shortcut to the clock app. Once you do that, the icon will be there to stay, it won't be affected by whatever bug causes the app's original icon to disappear.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am running a stock from. I haven't done anything g to the phone. It was working after the update, but all of a suddened it stopped working.
This issue was brought up a while back on XDA here. And is also being tracked on HTC's own forums here.
From the looks of it HTC hasn't yet released an update :-/
I use the alarm clock every day and it randomly won't go off. I've tried minimising the clock, leaving it open, setting a new alarm, using a pre set one..... I can't seem to figure out why its doing it?!
Has anyone else had this sort of issue and any ideas for a fix. Failing that tips for the best ( ie one that will wake me each day ) alarm app?
Cheers......
I just made a thread about this in the general section. But this morning my alarm did not go off. I then hit the power button and it shows the time and all of a sudden it sounds. Its like the time is not updating until I hit the power button.
I use Alarm Clock Plus from the Play Store. I paid for the app, but they offer a free version too.
On my Droid Incredible I had this issue, and Advanced Task Killer was to blame. Once I uninstalled that, it worked fine. I like Alarm Clock Plus as you can select various tones and your music (if you have any on your sdcard).

Ah sorry did a search and found nothing!
I've got no task killer just ICS doing its thang.... maybe its cos I've set it to go off Monday to Friday. I'll try individual alarms and see what happens?
I've tried alarm clock + and android alarm and both of these don't work properly for me. Two nights running I've had to rely on my 7 month old son to be my alarm clock (his timing is a bit random but he always goes off !)
Both these alarms seemed to function fine in a test with the screen locked but when I set it over night they both failed ? Is this due to the inbuilt android process of terminating apps when they've not been used for a while?
I've got no task killers installed.....
Can it really be that hard to get a friggin alarm clock that works reliably !!
I'm on SGS2 with ICS and SiyahKernel, but I also downloaded Alarm Clock Plus, I love the functions, interface, great nap feature but... it drives me crazy when it DOESN'T WORK!
Usually disabling alarm and reenabling it again helps, but it's a pain. I'm trying different settings etc, but so far nothing proved to be making Alarm Clock Plus work 100%-stable.
Alarm Clock Xtreme Free on the other hand is rock solid and it's never failed me with regular alarm. However I don't like its nap feature, which is important for me. I'll probably just use both of them - Alarm Clock Xtreme for general alarm and Alarm Clock Plus for naps.
I use no task killers that I'd know about - stock Samsung SGS2 ICS ROM (4.0.3, I9100XXLPQ) + SiyahKernel + GoLauncher Ex.
I'd be really interested in learning a way to make Alarm Clock Plus work in 100% reliable fashion.
Alarm Clock Plus (No Ads) on Samsung Infuse
I purchased Alarm Clock Plus (No Ads) and have yet to be able to use it. Every time I tried to set it up and select the alarm I want it locked up the phone. Sometimes it would come out of lock up and back to the home screen, other times it had to be rebooted.
I had to reflash the ROM to get it to finally get it to work for me.
Try out the free version before you buy the no ads version.
I am running [ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned..
Hi all.
I wanted to ask if anyone of you tell me which app I have to install as an alarm clock, to have the ability to start an app when the alarm goes on.
I would like to start the radio, so as to have the effect RADIO ALARM at the morning.
Can anyone tell me which one to use?

Gentle Alarm allows you to choose which app starts but I think that the app starts when you switch off the alarm.
ok...I've resolved.
I use SmartConnect of Sony, then create an event on a determinate time, that launch radio app. Works!
AppAlarm Pro should do this. Open source, too.
Ok..now it's that for I search! thanks!
Old thread, but relevant to those who might be interested:
