[Q] Ring Volume Tweak

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.

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.

[Q&A]["Spamming and ETC :)"]CyanogenMod 9.0.0-GalaxyICS

Hello everybody here,
so lots of us said that we should have a "Spamming" thread for CM9 and 4.0 Android development made by Maclaw's DevTeam-thanks for them, again . So here it is:
Please guys, if you have any bugs and problems which are already mentioned in GitHub, but you don't care to "ask-first-then-shoot", then post your problem here.
Please, write here, and really, don't annoy dev's on their DEV thread. That's for them to submit upgrades, news, and stuff.
Thanks anyway, and please, let the Dev's work in the calm way it should be.
Spam and post your heartbreaks here

Thnx for the thread. I feel like I can post my non-contructive post yet not clutter the dev thread
I following/trying CM9 closely. It looks very promising can't wait for the finished ROM
I should make some time to properly test/bugreport in git.

Should be in general, not there.

have u ever thought, that 'tards constantly flaming and making EXCEPTIONALLY unnecessary threads such as this one, are in fact much worse than noobs whining about their gallery not working?
Seriously though, I've been following Maclaw's thread for weeks, and the spam is no where near annoying as some "certain efforts" to end it.
Haters gonna hate, noobs gonna noob, deal with it.
p.s i consider myself a noob as far as android goes. But i don't whine about it, and don't shout at people on forums.
p.s2 somehow I doubt that this message will make the impact I intended it to make... sad.
Oh, and another thing - how do you define "spamming" and it's relation to the original post? I'm not much of a linguist myself, but something tells me you're not either, therefore both of us should keep our mouths shut...?
Oh 2.0: did i mention that this whole thread is a spam? ( and what is it we do with spam nowadays huh? )

You made good points. I don't spam myself as I see others do. At first I thought this was a good idea. So the course of action is to kill this thread or let it die.

how about fixing 3d graphics in future? Now, Asphalt 5 is laggy on my Gio.

same as inotia, cant play currently
but that will be fixed when the rom features work flawless

feiks- if you dont feel that this therad is necessary, then ignore it. there are some people who think this is a good one, although Maclaw is right, this should be in general.
And yes, spaming the DEV post is something like the whining of ~15 people that gallery is not working, camera is not working...if they'd read first, then they would know what they can get from this rom.
Though, ignore this post if it's unnecessary for you.
For the others, enjoy.

A quick point about creating new threads and where to place them.
Question.
Are you actively developing something?
Answer.
Yes.
Result.
Thread should go in the Development section
----OR----
Answer.
No.

Thread should go elsewhere.

Intentionally creating threads in the wrong place, just annoys other users and creates work for me. In future think about where to place your thread.
If after creating a thread you think, "I should of posted that in 'General'". PM me or report the post, I'll happily move it.

Thank you
It was my fault to place it to development.

Loving the ICS ROM by Maclaw and the gang - awesome work - it keeps getting better and better with each release.
Android is new to me so still learning - trying to get text to speech working, of course to try out a Siri like app.
I cannot seem to find where to turn on text to speech. I have tried a couple of apps and it appears that it is not on - and I cannot find where to turn it on.
Thanks in advance for any help

Finally I can say something about CM9 and ICS. I've been quietly reading the development thread from the beginning and thanking developers' posts for many months.
Anyway, I read that next release will be faster and with more working settings. I can't wait to try it out. I tried Beta 2, because it got generally good feedback before, and I thought that maybe it is good enough for daily usage. True, it is functional enough, but just a bit too laggy and glitchy for my liking. It was a good experience to test it, and all in all it didn't seem that much different from Gingerbread afterall. I miss the ability to put widgets on homescreen by simply longpressing, now you have to go to app drawer and search there - but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I like the new setup of settings menu though.
But my message to the development team and everybody else who helps them: Good luck and thank you! I will continue "thanking" your posts in the dev topic. We are lucky to have active CyanogenMod developers on our rather not-so-good and not-so-popular phone, and good developers too - Phiexz and Maclaw as the main men, but also others. Kudos.

Im dreaming about 3.0.8 kernel (or new) on ics 4.0.3 on Gio

If i get a new sms the phone wont viberate..
I have the silent profiel turned on but still normally i would hear the viberating sound getting a new message. This is a bit anoying cose often i have to react right away.
Any one know how to turn on the viberating?

Hi,
I installed beta3.
I can't download s2e from the market. Is any version that works with cm9?
Thanks

The betta 3 is a lot better alread. Things that dont work for me atm are: Camara (I did try other cammera apss to. No succes) The foto galary app will crash (I only have like 280 fotos. Kids there fun)
Playing movies (Xvid/divx) and mp3 does not really work well.
Thats it for no.. Got to work again.

Why Spam?
Just help Dev friends. Your support would encourge them to work hard on softwares. Sorry for bad bad english

There is a discussion in CM9 development topic about bootlogos. Am I the only one who doesn't care about it? I've disabled it anyway for faster booting. Why is bootlogo so important for some? For all I care it could be a steaming dog turd, it doesn't matter

Weekly ICS ROM Updates

Hi all,
I am going through all the threads that have ics based roms for our phone and thought it might be a good idea if we had a communal collation of all ics roms that are active in this forum with provided chainlogs and small reviews of said rom and what issues they have.
Reason for this is simple, to help other users that are not confident in flashing up to 4.0.3 unaware that they may run into something that they did not bargain for.. Hopefully this way we
A) Get a general run down each week as to what rom is working well which are not.
B) Issues/bugs.
C) Reviews of what works and not.
D) Temp fixable issues ie: auto rotation.
E) May help in less clutter in actual development thread.
I thought I would put this out see if anyone agrees here. I am more than welcome that if we use this thread as a starting point.
In no way shape or form that this thread will be used as a means of competitiveness between devs, to start flaming in any sort of fashion, this is purely a thread designed to help everyone with ics progression where its at, what dev's are up too and which would be safe to flash and what is not and is for experimental use.
Hopefully this could be a useful thread, with the dev's permission in doing this of course
Cheers.

I like the idea

+1 to this idea!!

There are already Q&A threads for each of the ROM's. Why make the board more cluttered than it already is by re-posting what is already in those threads?
People need to learn to use the search function and stop being lazy and actually take the time to read a thread every now and then. A thread like this will do nothing but enable the lazy to be even less productive and will not help. You will just see the same questions asked here over and over and over and over and over just like in all the other threads.
Also if people would read a damn OP like they are supposed to before flashing a ROM they would already know what does and doesn't work and if the ROM is a RC or experimental.

Valued response, and yes using the search tool does help, but. rather than searching for what is needed why don't we have one thread to sum up on all progression? This thread is not designed to have countless questions all this is to gather weekly updates on ics roms from there respected developer. If someone wanted to ask questions they should be directed to the respected Q&A thread as they have there own. If someone wishes to choose to read up on what is happening in the world of ics t989 development then they come here nothing more nothing less.
As this wouldn't be hard to do at every week commencing someone can be anyone can choose to post up any sort of update to any rom and that is valid for that week only... then make up another thread so for example this one wouldn't spiral out of control and inform a mod to delete or close thread... simple that way it would stay fresh relevant with what we want to know, and of course anyone can participate in this.
Again thanks for your input, I'm not saying this is what we should be doing but a suggestion to everyone and see if this would make life a little easier on some. Alternatively if you don't like it then don't post anything worth mentioning and leave for people who could benefit from it
Cheers.

To replace my battery and my camera since it force closes, I use QuickPic as my gallery and Camera zoom FX Pro as my camera. They work pretty well with some minor set backs.

Echo?
Are there any ICS ROMs that do not have an echo????

It seems to be an issue with the flashing process as far as echo goes...easy does it, my DD has no echo...actually while many people have reported that among other bugs the only one I have is the reboot hang...which really...tough **** I have to hold the power button down the few times I need to turn it off lol. Oddly though it does not hang if I reboot into recovery from rom manager.
Ics is really weird...everyone is getting different bugs following the same install process. I'm guessing some of our devices are more willing to adapt to the skyrocket kernel than others...

Guess you got the one with the magic bean.

Well before I went on vacation Tuesday I was playing around with a few of the different ics that are there for tmo gs2 and found that a lot of issues went away when I unmounted the SD card. The camera had no problem and I didn't notice any echoed sound. Kind of strange but one thing I noticed that a lot of native ics devices don't have external SD cards. Might be something for devs to look at.

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.

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.

AOSP Tweaks has this feature if you have lxposed. If you're running stock, it works quite well. I don't know how to get a link using my phone but you can find it by scrolling down a little ways.
Actually, I think think this is what you want: https://github.com/ElTifo/CustomSettingsForDevs/releases

That's not updated anymore, so if you need to use features that don't work on the more recent updates, AOSP Mods is the successor to that. The same two developers are both involved in the new AOSP Mods. There's also a GitHub link at the bottom of the OP of the AOSP Mods thread I linked to.
It's completely free other than if you feel like donating.
@finshan

Dang it. Sorry for screwing that up and thanks so much for clarifying. It's great app and the instructions are perfect for a layperson like myself to get it installed.
