[q] volume on cm10 - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
My name is Takin, and I live in Norway.
I'm new to this stuff and just got my kindle yesterday. Went straight home and rooted it and loaded CM9 on it and then upgrading to CM10.
The fact that the Kindle does not have physical volume controls haven't really bothered me before now. For every stroke on the on-screen keyboard, I hear a clicking sound (really loud if headphones are plugged in). The option is in fact unchecked in the settings menu.
Another thing - is there no other way to moderate the volume than doing this trough the whole process of entering the system-menu?
My last question: regarding this problem. Should I wipe the device and stay on CM9 ?

Anyone?:..

Install an app that will give you a widget. I use "Volume" from the store.

Keyboard sounds are separate from other sounds and volumes. Under "Languages & Input" in settings, you can access the keyboard settings and disable key clicks.

Apart from AOSP, I think all CM10 based ROMS either have a volume controller in the notification menu, or have a setting to enable it.
Hope that helps.

What CM10 ROM are you running?
And just like soupmagnet said, go to the settings, and under Personal, there is a Language and input option. Choose that, and then tap on the little slider icon next to the Android keyboard. There you can turn off Sound on keypress.
If you have your tablet in a tablet UI, there should be a sound bar in your notification popup menu.
If you are looking for a developed CM10, then I would choose twa-priv's ROM with SGT7 and other fun stuff. If you are looking for a pure Vanilla experience, I would choose something like Hashcode's.

I have had no issues whatsoever with sounds and control of them with twa-priv's ROM with SGT7. I tried another CM10 ROM but went back to twa-priv's because it was more developed.

I found out how to turn off touch sounds, but can't find keyboard clicks. This is running Hash's JB build. Think it was 9/28

Select the settings icon for your keyboard and deselect "sound on keypress".

Thanks found it. Didn't realize there was an extra settings button there.

CM9 is amazing for, if nothing else, this one reason...

The ability to have separate volumes for ringtones and notifications. I can't stand how google left this feature out of ICS, when it was in all previous versions of android (1.5+).
I've been using CMx since the days of the Hero, so it was a no-brainer for me to look straight to their work once I rooted my Galaxy Nexus.
Almost every ROM has this built in, just FYI. And although CM9 WILL be something great as of right now most ROMs have more features and stability than what is currently out from the CM team.
Yes. Most roms have this capability. Some even allow you to have a "settings" button when you do volume up/down, and once clicked, it gives you options to change in-call, speaker, notification, and alarm volumes, all from the single volume up/down button!

Well it's standard in AOKP (actually released in build 28: "Added extra volume slider options (Stevepear426, tmoskowite on gummy)") and I'm using Axi0m Patient Zero... basically anything built from the newer AOKP builds will have this feature.

I'm using AOKP build 30 and I haven't seen that feature...maybe I'm just blind.

changing input method without going into settings?

Hi everyone,
I used to see the "input method" in the notification bar so that I can switch keyboards without having to go to settings, but I haven't seen that for the past few 4.0.4 roms I've installed.
I'm currently using Liquidsmooth 4.0.4
Is there another way to switch keyboards?

There is a setting somewhere in liquid settings that lets you enable/disable the notification in the notification bar to switch keyboards it is called IME switcher.

[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

Navbar

Sorry to post here instesd of Q & A. Can't find that forum on the mobile app.
Anywho, on normal android OS settings there is an option to hide the navbar for fullscreen apps. Now, the kindle seems able to do this since it does for certain apps that want to use fullscreen. However, this is not true for two things.
Firstly, landscape keyboards don't work.
Secondly, apps like skype and widgetlocker keep the nav bar open, and this cuts off part of the app. On a normal tablet selecting the allowing to hide on fullscreen option works.
Any ideas how to toggle that setting? I can't wait to have a full settings menu back...
Image included is the settings option. This is no way relates to the kindle, since, we obviously don't have a useful OS like that yet just wanted to include it in case you weren't sure on what setting i was talking about.

This question was posted before we had recoveries or custom ROMs haha. I've been running MooROM ever since it was released. This was back when we had to use that crummy Amazon OS they put on the kindles.

[MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! NOW MORE BUTTONS!!!

Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...
What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....
Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).
However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps
This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.
**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**
Install like a normal APK
COPY: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kinq13mljdzl9ho/NavbarCopy_signed.apk
PASTE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/clxj83sqg76lkof/NavbarPaste_signed.apk
-----------------------------------------------------------
MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!
To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories
http://db.tt/KD07RwYy
Here is the source code!
http://db.tt/d10qEVO9
so will it work on non root stock rom?
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that..

I am rooted, but i have the same error... I dont know why, but it only works with in the navbar... however it doesnt make sense to put them in the launcher...
I guess that appears that errors because I dont created an acctivity that extend AppwlWidgetProvider
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
That's what I meant, the navbar. Not launcher.. But I don't know how to make it work.

You can see in screenshots, go to settings > UI settings > navbar settings (Depends on your rom) and add new icon> custom application... it should appear there

Hi.
Can you make similar buttons but with different functions?
I would like to hide navbar and use aokp pie instead but I need few buttons.
Menu
Back
Home
Recent apps
And if this is possible - forward buttons (for Internet browser)

Sorry, i am a bitb busy for now with other projects(see my signature), but i will see if i can...
Maybe i will do it in the next hours, i am at the gym right now
Well its done... It can emulate back home menu search play/pause skip track power button and camera button
This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.
Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.

Thanks for trying but buttons doesn't work.
Every time I press added button I'm getting message "unfortunately app stopped"

It said in op... You must sign apk with system signature and install as system app... There are some tutorials out there
Yep
My bad
Tried to find some info hot to sign this app as system app but can't find simple way.
What kind of files do you need to make this app working in AOKP by bigxie?

For example, for xylon rom you have to use these platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pk8... You get them here
https://github.com/XYAOSP/android_build/tree/jb-mr1/target/product/security
To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)
