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...

Ringtone volume starts low

Guys
I've searched about this issue and couldn't find a proper answer. My note 2's ringtone starts low and ascends. It seems it's a feature with all galaxy phones. Is there any way to disable it ? (preferably without rooting)

Yes there are ways to disable it (such as using Xposed framework). And yes these ways require root access. If there is a way to disable this without root, I'd like to be corrected, but AFAIK there isn't.

No root = no android system mods
This is a simple equation, if you want to override this ascending ring tone feature you should be a root user

I know ,i'm new to android and still learning
Just wanted to know if it's possible via root or not

That's very interesting. Didn't know that there is an app that doesn't require root access to achieve this.

Try this. Go to Settings > Application Manager > Scroll down until you find the app then click on it and Untick "Show Notifications". If that doesn't work then the app requires to be present in the notification bar in order not to be killed by the system.

[Q] notification bar modification

Is the ability to change what icons appear in the notification bar only available to international s3 phones without rooting and such?

i'll probably root eventually, i just wanted to change out the airplane mode toggle for the driving mode toggle and maybe remove a couple of others.

Ooooo I wasn't sure exactly what you were asking.
Only thing I know of is the 23 toggle mod, which is an easy enough flash if you are rooted. Wouldn't know another way, though.

There's a couple of apps in the play store which can add toggles but I'm not sure if root is required for those apps.

to bring this thread back from the dead (to save from me creating the same question in a new thread)... Has anyone found a way for us (Sprint S3 users) to edit the notification bar icons?
I am rooted and want to remove Airplane Mode and Power Saving and put other items there. Stock ROM (dont want to flash new rom).

Ah
Theres a mod called 20 toggle mod. That'll let you customize it and edit the order and everything. It also adds a bunch of other toggles

[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.

Tomorrow I will have a shot at modifying your code to listen for "hello" sms instead of default.

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.

[APP] TorchLight Enabler - no root required

Hello,
Just want to share this simple app I made to enable torch when pressing volume up key when the screen is off. I know there are already many mods/xposed modules up there that can do this but this one works on stock rom without needing root access. It is a feature in earlier galaxy devices but for some reason was removed from the S6 or S6 Edge. This app enables it and allows to set timeout settings. Just install and enjoy.

Wow, this is so handy, thank you much

Could someone confirm my doubts please..?
I wonder, couldn't vol up/down button be accidentally pressed in the pocket?
And yeah..what about wakelock?
This is great app but if it'll drain my battery and prevent device to go to deep sleep then I'll skip it.

You can't. It is enabling the stock torchlight.
It is the same if you have a rooted phone and use an app like "sqlite editor" then navigate to "apps", "settings storage", "settings.db", "system" and add (by hitting the + sign) the lines
name = torchlight_enable and value = 1
And for the timeout setting
Add
name = torchlight_timeout and value = 30000 (i use 60000 i.e. 1 min)
Xpericle has just made it easier for those not comfortable with root and sqlite
I usually have to wake the device (by pressing the power key) and then lock it again to get the torch to work with volume up. I believe this is because the device does go into deepsleep and that is why some people say it doesn't work.

After installing it, PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock is preventing my phone from going into deep sleep. Even after disabling and/or uninstalling it, the wakelock was still there and causing high battery drain.
