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.

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...

Volume settings

Anyone know how to separate the ring and notification volumes - does it require custom ROM and/or kernel?

Try this app, someone on Nexus forums says it works. Next time do a quick google search aswell, since all I did was use your keywords and found some answers (if they helped ofc).

Doesn't work, which is why I posted here... :/

i would like to know as well?.i use quick setting..used to work on other phones..but that is weird we cannot separate the volume of notification and ringer..

You can use RingLeader from the Market as a work around, but it's a pain to set up and you have to tweak all the different app settings individually - which is a real pain for adjusting notification settings...

[Q] Fast profile switching on JellyTime CM10?

Good afternoon,
i'm using JellyTime (based on CyanogenMod 10 and so JellyBean) and i really like Profiles, that i use to mute my phone and turn off network interfaces.
I'm only annoyed by the fact that the "fastest" way to switch between profiles is using the power menu, that is really unconfortable.
Isn't there a way to add a quick profile switch button to the notification bar or something like this?
Thank you!

I think you can add a launcher shortcut to Trebuchet, I'm not sure (last time I ran JellyTime, it had no camera xD).
If not you can try Silence (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.epsilonlabs.silence.ads) maybe that's what you'd need?

I'm using Nova Launcher, not Trebouchet. I Nova there is no way to add a shortcut to Profile switch. Anyway, it would be kinda uncomfortable too, because i would need to unlock my screen and then launch the shortcut to change a profile.
I've took a look at Silence (thank you) but it doesn't do all the stuff that Profile can do (and i don't like installing apps for something the ROM can do by itself). Silence can't switch on/off the 3G and has some problems activating airplane mode.
I'll stay with Profiles for now

[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

This is a great solution !

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.

S7 edge user

Hello,
I'm S7E happy user but I just purchased OP3 for my girlfriend. Can I ask for few things, here?
- Alarm- is any way when home button pressed deactivate alarm in the morning? When she pick up phone in the morning while alarm ring accidentally she touch home button and then unlock the phone. and then takes ages to turn the annoying alarm off.
- Scheduled DO NOT DISTURB- I just cannot believe phones without this function still exist- what to do?
- Change system font- is it missing or I'm blind?
- DPI, any way for changing it without the root? Everything looks like has been made for DISABLE, blind 80y old person. It is JUST MASSIVELY HUGE.
- Nova's Tesla unread count badge is not working for FB messenger
- Pickup call- is any way of swapping annoying swipe to answer for just click icon or similar? When phone or finger cold there is no way of answering incoming call.
- What is the best browser with adblock (needs to be easy to temporary turn it off) and sync with google?
Thank you for all your replies.

- Not that i know off.
- Scheduled Do not disturb is a missing feature, but again we have a notification slider.
- Its missing indeed.
- Nope, but it takes 7 min to Rlroot and u dont void warranty.
- idk
- Not that i know off. Never had a issue with not beeing able to pick a call up in cold weather.
- I personally use chrome with this. With root it works better.

How about systemless root? Anyways u can root and change DPI and then remove root again.

I never done it before and little bit scared. Also I was just reading that OP3 is not dealing very well with changed dpi

I absolutly have no problem with my currently 420 DPI. If you are going to buy it i recommend using Freedom OS. Its basicly OxygenOS with a little bit more features such as: Adblocker, DPI etc.

No need to root you can use adb to change the dpi on the fly
yubrowser from the playstore is really good with built in ad blocking
The other ones like others have said cannot be changed afaik.

NetGuard works via the VPN API and doesn't require root/xposed/unlocked BL and works with any browser

So when alarm goes off you can't snooze with home button?

You can't. Home button- fingerprint unlocking your phone, alarm ringing like crazy and you have to go to notifications to turn it off. What a mess in the morning. iPhone alarm just stop when home pressed.

You can get scheduled DND functionality using an app. I use Silence Premium but they have a free version also.
Edit: Note that Google includes scheduled and other nice DND functions in stock Android but OnePlus delete this functionality from OxygenOS even though it is essentially stock Android. They delete it because they are too lazy to think about accommodating it with their hardware slider even though other manufacturers do it, most notably Apple.

Super. Silence premium do the job. Thank you.

Out of curiosity, how does Apple manage potential conflicts between physical alert slider and different software settings?
What setting does take over?

I don't own an iPhone so no idea but Silience Premium on the OnePlus 3 works exactly how I would expect. I.e. the slider always has priority. In the normal position the software can set priority mode on/off but the slider always sets it on if set and sets it off if toggled etc. When the app sets priority on the indicator goes on just like the slider so it is a true system setting thus we know that the stock DND could do it as well. I just don't understand why this simple and obvious behavior wasn't adopted by the OP design team.
