[Q] Ring Volume Tweak - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Trying to post this is Dev, but I guess I can't because I have less than 10 posts to I'll get right to it.
Running Mikfroyo v4.5 (so a sense ROM, obviously)
Is there a way that you can tweak the proximity sensor on the Evo so that when the phone is in my pocket it won't ring super loud? I noticed that if the phone is on my desk that it will ring at the volume set, but when I have it in my pocket the ring tone COULD possibly wake the dead. I understand its a "fail-safe" in which the phone was buried under a crap load of clothes or in a gym bag you could hear it if someone was calling you. Well...I don't want/like that feature and would like to somehow turn it off.
Any Ideas?
Like I said before, I want to post in Dev but I can't yet.

there is an app called "Sanity" in the market. I've played with it before and it lets you customize proximity sensor settings n such. Hope it helps.

nice, i'll give it a try

was really hoping that app was going to work. Started off soft than went right to really loud while in my pocket. damn it...

am I really the only one annoyed by this?

I dont seem to notice my device making louder sounds when its in my pocket. /shrug

When people call you, you don't notice that your phone rings louder in your pocket than say in the open? I have my phone set on the lowest possible setting before off/vibrate and if it's in the open face up than it rings softly, if it is in my pocket than it will ring soft than gradually make its way louder and louder and louder till it maxes out it sounds like.

no. i dont notice. 2.2 on the evo has sense 1.0. trust me, id like 2.0

hmm, i wonder if it's the ROM that does it than, guess i'll have to ask the dev.

i think its a feature of sense 2.0+. although, im not positive.

Just a note, completely unrelated, but if you were to post this thread in the dev section, you would've been flamed.
Questions belong in Q&A. When you develop something, you can post it in the development section. Until then, don't.
This is why there's a limit.
I'm really not trying to be a douchebag, just informing you.

Well it seems to be an "issue" with the ROM, that's why I want to post on his thread. That way he can tell me if it is part of the Sense ROM or if it is deeper inside root that I can change. I was reading through a bunch of posts on his Dev thread and there are a bunch of people asking questions about the ROM and getting answers, so it's pretty evident that I need to post my question there as my question deals with his ROM.

Vote to fix haret method.

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-andr... Priority Component Owner Summary#makechanges
things change fast around here. try reading new threads before post useless request to fix an old problem from march
If your going to daddy me at least leave me a toy.
Wow learn to read. The android n00b thread people are still having these issues. Maybe something has changed but I have seen it. I see two categories of haret users those who work (miracles people who usually are using nand and may have some enviromental difference over us regular sdcard-hare ppl)..
If you can fix my issue fix it, but don't tell me its fixed when nothing says that. Albeit a night of going through all the updates on the different builds may produce results no one has done that in that particular thread (2, or 3, which upon someone coming up and saying this easy has ended up giving up) both threads are a bit different. One was supposed to be look how easy it is , with a few nand resistant fools getting every thing but sound. You sir are a troll... !#@@! @!# @#[email protected][email protected]@!
Seriously if you want new people using android put out a haret build that works... Don't make us n00bs flash our customized **** so we can say oh thats broke, i need that...
sorry if my tone was incorrect. let me try again
The link you posted refers to something that is not a problem any more or was due to old hardware, ie the button physically wasnt working.
k_k successfully used haret to test his build when he was working on the gps. that was the beginning of june
are you trying to say that the link is to YOUR problem? i cannot tell from the post of only a link. it looks like reading through this thread that you got past that problem.
if you need help please list your problem with as much detail as possible so i or someone else can help you.
if you are trying to make a case for haret dev, you should post links or quote more recent attempts and problems
Thanks for the news
Cool. I'll search up on that and post to the threads that I've been going to. It's just email never comes across very personable. People who say to read the entire forum get on my nerves or to search when I have is annoying because sometimes they have read it in an area I haven't landed and it like a race run condition due to bad communication. If you see something try to link it, glad I have a user name to search off, but if you can pt a better thread I'll be happy. Either way when I find it, I'll try to boot again maybe in a week or so. I'll be very happy if it does indeed work now, we'll see.. As far as my posting relating to haret, yet you can regain control of your buttons but if you actually read all of the thread you'll see it doesn't get better than that, it then is a sound issue. Either way haret is broken, and my point is that poor user from march is still suffering now, and this time its sound. I suspected that haret became broken due to the development direction towards nand. I.e. whatif system.file is reffed somehow as (NAND0,0):/initrd.gz. I mean droid when from system.img's to partitions so something very generic could lead to both issues esspecially if a user A who can't hear in haret, can hear in a nand install using the same release? See the modules and stuff are going to be the same. I hope your not wasting my time with the k_k bit...

your first post was just as indirect. from that post i had no way of know you have been working on it. the specific link you post was probably not the best choice. with out direction from you i have no reason to go 2 links deep. not until you gave more description did i go into the xda thread where have been trying things.
it then is a sound issue.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes there is still the sound issue. you could have gotten much better response if you had put something in the first post to indicate you specifically want the sound worked on.
sound it is.
its just more like a watch me thread for people who care about haret. i posted a bug on vogue-android.. but the drift it haret is broken. been broken. its bad right now. can we fix it? or is it fixed already. you mentioned K_K do you mean this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6852911 or do you mean kalt_kafee kernel are they same guy? where you saying dpad was fixed versus just sound. I guess I'm going to try his latest update kernel, unless you've seen a better thread. I've already got to goto bed. Maybe that's why the guy never came back on my own thread cause i sent him to a new kalt kernel hehehe..
sound working
Going through the list now. Thanks for the pointer. I'll will soon venture forward.
I got sound on an old androidinstall of unknown origin. it was freezing and unstable. I did not get sound ironically on VaniljEclair , the second install from the old android I also installed to system.img vs sdcard partition. trying warm
Aqtrans' CM-5.07 - nice and stable
warm eclair rls 1 - fast, worked great for a day then force closes all over
Incubus26Jc's SuperE beta 3 - still slow on kaiser
VaniljEclair 5.0.8 out! (not tested by me)
trying myn's warm donut then will try aqtrans'
you may have beaten the pepsi challenge.

[Q] Answering calls sound

So I am as very big metal gear solid fan. I have my ringtone set to the codec sound of the game. Basically when he would answer in the game, there would be a distinct sound. My question, is it possible to make a distinct sound when you swipe down to answer an incoming phone call?
Anyone can help me?
I'm sure it's possible, but you'd have to know how to modify the actions in the source code of the phone app. I don't know how to do it, but anything is possible with Android.
Well that would be great. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. I am not that much experienced in coding but I learn pretty fast.

Wow.. Lame.
Take a look at the files in /system/media/audio/ui/ on your phone. You might be able to find the sound, and then convert your desired sound to the right format, and simply overwrite it.

Harry Potter lock ring sense 3.0

Hey guys, since I've yet to find anyone requesting, I would like to do so here.
In light of the end of the harry potter saga, i would really love to see a custom lock ring based on it. I'm pretty much a noob here, and you guys can hate on me, but i really would hope someone would come along and make a custom lock ring for sense 3.0 based on harry potter.
The deathly hallow symbol is what i hope would be made into a lock ring. Thanks again finally. My English isn't pretty good, so please pardon me.

I believe what he means is that someone create a HP ring. The problem is though, what would it look like?

Erm, I'm not allowed to post links sooo. Go google deathly hallows symbol. The first image is what I wanted it to be Thanks guys
the triangle with circle? try asking the person who started the lockring thread, he/she is known to have made a few rings so I assume he/she might be of some help.
Basically you find a picture that you would think would be a good lock ring, and someone can possibly make you one, I have done some recently to a bit of success, but if you look in a couple of the lock ring threads, you will see they will do requests on occasion as well, but typically you select the picture and they can let you know if it will work and if they can make it work for you

It's possible. Requires some hacking. I was trying to do this, but no luck yet. But it IS possible.

I agree, but why even respond with a partial answer to his question then. It just further promotes people to ask unrelated questions here because they know a developer or another well informed person will answer the question because it will be spotted quicker. Then a mod will just move the post and the op gets his answer without following the rules.

are you still working on it ? you think anyone will come up with it anytime soon, because its the main reason why i might switch my galaxy for the amaze, but if somehow they can make a dedicated button it would be perfect.

you can wait for a port of CM7
then you can assign one of the volume button for camera

If you cant handle my reasonable responses, then you shouldn't be attempting to mess with your phone in the first place. I told you to search in your other post, and a minute later you post another topic with another small question. I never personally attacked you in any of my responses, but you got your feelings hurt and decided to start name calling. In all honesty over half of your posts could have been answered with a quick google search or xda search. Stop trying to get people to solve your problems when the answers are right in front of you.

There's a camera app called Vignette that allows you to assign the volume buttons to the shutter. Maybe give that a try until we get CM7.

volume rocker option was removed a while back, don't think it will make it back
change the ringer? I've seen this on many aosp roms, don't know why or what causes it. That or redownload and reinstall and maybe a clean install.
Also, check the attitude at the door, no need for it to Recognize Devs or anyone for that matter, you agreed to rules when you signed up... just read and follow them, so that this kinda issue doesn't arise.

Do you know why volume rocker wake was taken out of CM? I have noticed that it is gone.

I actually don't have a clue. It was an option not required, don't remember it hurting anything, or causing issues. If someone remembers when it was pulled or merged I can find the commits and have one of the custom ROMs support it maybe if the dev is game to implement it.
