Develop Bugs

[APP][BETA] ICS Notify! - Separate SMS/Gmail/Ringtone Volumes! - January 31st

First of all, you should realise this app is very much in the early stages of development, and as such, bugs should be expected.
So what does this app do?
Well, if you are anything like me, you will have been annoyed by the fact that in ICS your notification and ringtone volume are locked together. This application attempts to resolve that.
So far you can only set separate volumes for your Gmail and SMS notifications. Everything else will play at the volume specified in your phone's settings. More notification options will be added soon.
I couldn't find an application that allows you to do this on ICS, but if one already exists on here, then I apologise.
So yeah, It's pretty self explanatory, enjoy!
Still does not support 3rd party sms/gmail applications. This is being worked on!

WHAT'S NEW?
* Incoming call bug fixed (where it used the gmail values)
* The relative checkbox bug fixed
* Incoming call volume added
* 'Relative volume' added (thanks to pascanu for the idea!)
* Vibration can be turned on or off for each setting (except incoming call, caused too many problems)
* Help menu added
* New icon (by yours truly, if someone wants to make me a better one, please do!)
BUGS:
* It's rare, but If you receive SMS/Gmail messages in rapid succession, the volume will fluctuate wildly (multiple sms/gmail less than 1 second apart).
* There may be some bugs with the Incoming Call settings. If you find any please let me know!

Awesome idea for an app! Can I request you include google voice notifications too?

Thanks Meltus for ALL your apps.

Great app! I was also very annoyed by the fact that in ICS ringer and notification volumes can no longer be separated.
A few suggestions/requests:
- ability to specify notifications volume relative to ringer volume (i.e. +/- a specific amount). For example indoors I would have ringer set to 5 and notifications to 3, but if I go outdoors I would easily increase the ringer to 10 (using the rocker) and the notifications would follow to 8 (no need to enter the app)
- Tasker plugin (endless possibilities)
Thanks for your effort.

Sounds like a great idea, I'll definitely add that to the next version. Thanks!
Has anyone experienced any bugs or anything yet?

Hey Meltus
Thanks for stepping up to fill this big void in ICS when no one else has. Given your other work, you're the right guy for the job!
As mentioned above, it is a little confusing for those of us also using your Volume+ app. Since that one has volume #s way past 10, does setting the volumes in this app negate those? Or supplement? Or subtract?

No, the 0 - 7 in this app refers to the 'volume steps', it can be used in conjunction with Volume+ just fine. So 0 is silent, 1 is the equivalent of pressing the volume up button once from silent and so on. 7 is full volume.
Sorry, I'm terrible at explaining things lol

Great Idea. It would be nice to have this work in ICS. I have installed the app buy so far now luck. It does not disable or change volume in SMS or GMAIL. I chanbe the numbers 0 though 7 but nothing changes.

Hi, it was tested on ICS so it should be working fine.
Does it not change at all when you get an SMS or Gmail? What happens in the logcat?

It doesn't seem to change anything no matter what I set it to. Even setting to 0 doesn't disable sound, should right?
I am not sure where to check logcat. Let me know and Id be glad to look.
Thanks for the reply. I'll be glad to help out. Hope I'm not doing something stupid.
I am running CynaogenMod 14 for captivate. Thought Id point that out.

Do I need a terminal session or logcat app easier?

It doesn't change for me either...sms at least. Does it not work on 3rd party apps like handcent?

Ah, that could be it. I'll do some testing with handcent now.
And a few updates so far:

The 'Relative' volume options are now fully coded and working
(-4 to +4. They will adapt to whatever volume level you set).
I've also changed '0' to 'Silent' and will be adding a 'Silent and Vibrate' option.

Awesome...can't wait for this. I need my ringer volume at it's highest capacity but the notifications constantly going off are too loud

If you could consider ChompSMS as well please!
Yeah, I was not getting any notable volume changes. I had turned off native SMS notifications though.
Also, my gmail was FCing for some reason when I tried to open it, possibly from this app? If it happens again, I'll try to send a logcat. After I disabled the app, it didn't FC any more.

Whatsapp pleaseee

BEFORE DOWNLOADING PLEASE READ
There is a small bug in this version which I will fix as soon as possible (far too tired to do it now). When you load up the app, the 'Relative' option will be enabled. This needs to be disabled for the settings to update. You can then re-enable it again if you wish. DISABLING IT FIRST IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Enjoy!

Testing. Seams to work fine.
Problem: I am also using Light Flow and have set it to clear notifications when screen is switched on. When I receive a notification ICS Notify kicks in and turns the screen on, negating Light Flow's action.
Not technical a bug, I know. Trying to figure out a workaround...

SYSTEM Volume

Hi,
why is there no option to adjust system volume (camera-shutter, battery warning, ...) in any ICS ROM?
Without 3rd party-apps you can´t set system-volume of the phone...
I really don´t like that...

e.e I like 3rd party apps ... they are sometimes better than stock
- Google

that´s the problem... why do i need a third party app to adjust simple things like system-volume?
ICS has integrated sliders for alarm-volume, in-call-volume, and so on... but why is system-volume missing?
Why CM9 or AOKP don´t include such a slider?

If you're already using ics roms which are always third party, why do you mind using a third party app? Personally, I have fallen in love with volume+. Check the developer's website for free full version (market version sucks).

because it kills homogenous look&feel ... i´d like to adjust all volumes with ICS-settings (e.g. opened via volume button) - and i don´t like to start an extra app for adjusting system-volume.
that´s really not necessary... what´s the problem to add a slider into ics-settings?

Its built into the stock sound settings on aokp. You can link or unlink system volume. I forget how it was on stock, but I'm pretty sure its tied in with ringer volume on stock. So your camera sound is whatever level your ringer volume is.

oh thanks.. so i will try AOKP...
at stock-ROM it is definitely not tied in ringer volume - you need an extra app there...

What do the cm10 power widget sound icons mean?

In cm10, the power widget , there are four sound modes (icons):
- silent
- vibrate
- sound on
- ....?
What is the last one? it has a vertical line followed by the speaker. I've searched and searched, but I can't find an answer as to what this mode does... Maybe it's so obvious that nobody else asks, lol... but its purpose is escaping me.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
Thanks

it is to enable/disable sound(ringer)

Then what's the one with just the speaker? All sounds (including ringer, multimedia, etc), whereas the one I mentioned in the earlier post is mute all sounds except ringer?

as far as I know, the sound widget is only for the ringer, there should be , loud/silent/vibrate, nothing to do with the media.

[APP][1.6+]Volume Preventer 1.3 Updated!
Updated Volume Preventer 1.3 with widget
As the name implies, this application will prevent the volume from changing. You may know in Android while in Silent mode, it changes to Normal mode without any notification when Volume Key is pressed unfortunately. This will cause trouble to many peoples .So I made this application to prevent it
from changing.
It will prevent the Silent mode from changing. In Android, there are 5 Volume control such as System, Music, Ringtone, Notification and Alarm. By using this application you can prevent a particular volume or group of volumes from changing based on your profile. It has profile features and also you can schedule your profile.
When mode changes, it will notify you either in Toast message or Simple Dialog box. You can choose the style while creating a profile.
Features:
1. Profiles
2. Can choose your Notification Stlye
3. Scheduling features with Time and Date
4.Easy to use
5.Start at Start up and more.
6.Widget to start and stop.
Permission:
It will request Internet and Network permission for Google Ads.
Support my work by buying pro version of this app.

[Xposed mod] SMS In Ringer Stream

SMS in Ringer Stream - Changes SMS audio stream of notifications from 'notification' to 'ringer'
================
This was made for Samsung Galaxy S3 and tested on it. It should work on other phones, but I can't be sure. I don't held any responsibility for any damage you do on your phone.
The default SMS/MMS app has no option to set volume level for notifications and it uses the level set by the system to all notifications. I prefer to have it use the same level as the ringer so I made this mod to do it. This way I can have a low sound level for notifications, a normal sound level for ringer and hear not only incoming calls but also SMS/MMS.
This uses Xposed framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)
After you have installed Xposed framework, install this app. After that, enable the mod inside Xposed Installer (you probably have a notification to do it, you can click it). Then reboot your phone (you can soft reboot inside Xposed Installer).
NOTE: This only works in default SMS/MMS app, others apps won't work.

Well, it can be done, but it's not the purpose of this mod. But source code is available, you just have to change what packages it hooks, it's really simple.

I see, would be nice though, maybe when i learn developing ill give it a shot

Check /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/debug.log for any error and report it here (or /xposed/debug.log if you aren't in latest Xposed). Also, how do you know it's not working? Have you tried making notifications silent and then receive a SMS and it didn't played?

It's great to notice one of my most needed mods this still works on kitkat 4.4.2

How about making an app that can change or set volume for all apps separatly?
Work like This:
add an app in it and set volume for that app
add facebook and set volume to 100%
add whatsapp and set volume to 60%
...
maybe an option to change notification sound for every apps too
.
is this possible at all?

+1 there are apps that let you put their sounds in another channel (my alarm clock app let me choose between alarm channel and phone call channel) so maybe it is possible to create an app that let us decide in wich channel a sound is played so we can put different volumes in each channel ?
I would love to be able to have some notifications (for example facebook) sound silent while other more important apps (for example mail) make more sound

Something like this for the navigation voice in maps would be awesome. It drives me nuts when listening to music at a low volume that the nav voice can't be heard.

About setting different volumes I'm not sure, but I think that it may be possible, you have to change the volume every time a notification is going to be played. But I won't be doing it, I don't have time and more importantly I don't need it - and I hate working for no purpose.

That is a different thing, you aren't talking about a notification sound, so it requires a different method than this module. But I think it would be possible.

I tried changing the package in the code to use "com.hellotext.hello" instead of "com.android.mms".
I could not figure out to compile on pc, but I got it to compile on tablet with "AIDE" from the store. Unfortunately it didn't work.
:crying:
Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Hi arjag,
I can't help you. What I can do is recommend that you read http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...reate-your-very-own-xposed-module-in-eclipse/ and http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easily-configure-xposed-module-projects-in-eclipse/
Also there is the possibility that the app you want to use works in another way, I don't know.
