[REQ] Mod to allow volume contols to set phone to SILENT

Hi, I've done a search and can't find anything here (although my searching skills might not be all that good).
On my Milestone the volume rocker would let me change the ringer volumes like on the Galaxy S2 but with a small, but very useful additional feature.
When using the volume down button to reduce the ringer level, or to set the phone on vibrate only, if you pressed the volume down once more after vibrate, the phone would be set on silent mode.
This is actually really useful and I'm missing it a lot, as if you're busy and somebody keeps calling you back there's no quick way to just set the phone on silent. Or similarly if you're in a messaging app and somebody keeps messaging then the phone keeps vibrating again and again and again even though you know that you've received a message.
Is there anyway to make this modification on the galaxy s2?
(I'm using stock ke7 btw)

Yeah I really missed this feature from my Nexus S when I traded it for an Atrix.
Shame it isn't on the GSII... it'd be cool to have this feature again. Anyone...?
In the meantime you can use a widget to toggle between vibe and silent mode.

Hi yamanote, thanks for the heads up. Any widget in particular you would recommend?
Hope someone takes up this mod soon

I have Silent Toggle Widget (free, by Droidmania) installed. Nice icons and most importantly works (toggles between Ring, Vibrate and Silent)

Thanks, its working great

Widget Locker works well and replaces the lock screen which I hate on the SGS2.
I've seen several people complaining about this and started to wonder.... If you're willing to install a widget, would you be willing to drag down your Notification Bar and click on the fourth button (between GPS & Auto Rotate) to switch between Sound, Silent & Vibration?

Wow. I've import just flashed ke7 yesterday and didn't notice if that's what changed it, but on my stock s2 the fourth button there had something to do with network data mode.
Either way thanks alot for pointing that out! I'll ber using it until (if) somebody works out how to do the mod with the volume rocker. =)

If you can get that stock toggle to do that I'm sure you can get the volume rockers to do the same

Hey guys, I've made an app that emulates the old rocker functionality, it's a bit hacky so I made a 36 hour trial so you can make sure it works properly.
Advanced ringer rocker (trial)
Advanced ringer rocker

Thanks for creating that app.
It works fine on vr1.1, but three glitches I can see:
1)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Going from volume to vibe works fine, but when going into silent mode it looks like there's another screen which overlaps the vibration screen.
Look at the image if you don't understand.
2) minor annoyance- the stock pop-up says 'Ringer volume' while the app's version says 'Ringer Volume'.
3) When going from sound to vibe it vibrates once for ~1 second, but when going from silent to vibration mode there are two short pulses.
If you can fix it and make it feel more stock then i'll buy it for sure

Because of the Android API limitations, this is unfortunately the only way I can make it work. It's not possible to disable the standard volume popup screen, so I just overlap my own.
The screen behind it (standard system popup) will be displaying an incorrect icon when you change from vibrate to silent or silent to vibrate, so I display the correct one over the top.
It looks slightly too low on your screenshot, I'm not sure what's causing that, it doesn't do that on my device (ZTE blade) or the emulator so I presume it's due to a different UI theme (?) Although that shouldn't cause it to misalign.

edit: Can't reproduce that. Can you try disabling advanced ringer rocker, then go into the android settings menu/sounds and switch between vibrate and normal mode (click the Silent Mode checkbox) and tell me if your phone vibrates

Do you mean the background colour? Is it different to your regular one?

Apps like Tasker or Timeriffic don't show any volume popups when they change the volume levels. Tasker even has an option if you want to show the volume popup, so I am sure it's possible, but it doesn't matter one bit. I'll test it out, because this seems all good to me. Thanks.

The ROM I'm on doesn't have a theme, its the stock Samsung look. And yeah I understand why you can only make it overlap- the issue I was describing was how the overlapped box was slightly lower than the normal pop-up
Just curious- would it be possible to disable the stock popup if I have root?

If I have vibration set to only in silent mode or always [on] then yes toggling between silent (vibe) and ringer does initiate one ~1 sec vibration.

Thanks for the great feedback.
Because I can't directly detect volume button key-presses (can only do that if you are the currently active activity) I basically listen for volume changes and calculate when to enter silent mode. Android responds to your key-presses as it usually does by displaying the (now incorrect) ringer mode popup since it's unaware of my app running around behind it changing the ringer mode.

With root you can pretty much do anything, so yes I would say that is entirely possible but I'm not sure how.
I can't think why the overlay isn't exactly aligned on your device, I've tried something that may help but if it hasn't fixed it then sadly I don't know what will.

I've fixed the typo, fixed the double vibrate. It's now an option under menu/advanced options, you'll need to disable it. It seems some devices vibrate and some don't (Gingerbread change?).
Also added a different style, stock/dark gingerbread which it will default to on 2.3.
I don't think it's going to be possible to make this work 100% on all devices, so I've dropped the price to $0.99
If you need more time to test these changes on the trial version then PM me your UUID (reinstall the app or clear data, then start it up without an internet connection and it will show your UUID)

The updated version unfortunately doesn't fix the misalignment Will probably flash an updated version of my current ROM or flash another ROM when I'm free so yeah maybe that'll fix it. Thanks for the attempt though.

Just a heads-up for others- if you've got the stock Samsung theme on then you'll want to switch to the Froyo style.

Price drop is always a nice incentive to purchase, hah
PM'd you my UUID, thanks.
Will test it a bit more and will most likely purchase it after I get Google Checkout sorted out- probably tomorrow (it's 5am here and i'm tired lol)

You might want to look into using Widgetlocker. Next to the fact is freaking awesome on itself it also offers the silent option

Smart Alarm default

Hi Guys,
I've checked a lot of previous Q&A threads asking how to disable the default Smart Alarm feature that comes with the standard ICS clock. There weren't any helpful solutions. Does anyone here know how to disable the smart alarm as a default for new alarms I create?
I know how to go into each alarm one by one and disable it after I create the alarm. However, I would like to make it a default to have the smart alarm disabled whenever I create a new alarm instead of changing it manually.
It's really annoying when I set an alarm with Google Now and I have my alarm go off 3 minutes before it has to with a creepy notification ringtone going off.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Anyone?

I'm on CM10 and can't remember how it was on stock, but can you press menu while in your alarms screen and bring up settings?

Nope, it only has the option to sort or delete on the main menu. You would think they would have an overall settings selection on the main menu like every other app lol.

Samsung really managed to make a lot of things more complicated and buried deeper than they need to be, that's for sure.
Sorry, not sure in your case!

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.

Not sure if you are still wondering, but yes, this is normal unfortunately. I've gone as far as setting up a Tasker profile to get around it.

Don't know but mine is silly loud on alarms and tones.

Sound definitely comes out of both speakers during incoming calls and notifications. However, when choosing a sound in the settings, it does only come from the bottom speaker.

Sure thing! If you haven't already, you're going to want to download the tasker app. Once you've installed that, open it and (like the previous post mentioned) go to its preferences and disable "beginner mode" under the "general" section. Then go back to the main screen and long press on the home icon in the bottom left corner. Tap "import" and then navigate to wherever you downloaded my profile and click on it. That should import the project. Once the project is imported, you should see "Phone Ringtone" next to the home icon on the main Tasker screen. Tap on that and it should bring up 4 profiles. At the top, tap on the tab that says "Tasks" and that should bring up a list of 4 tasks. Tap on the one labeled "Play Ringtone" then click on "Music Play". To the right of "File", tap the icon that looks like a magnifying glass, then navigate to the file you want to use as your ringtone. After that, make sure all the profiles are enabled on the main screen, then go to Android settings and set your ringtone to "None" so you won't have a ringtone AND music playing each time someone calls you. Hope this helps!

As I commented in another thread, I imported this project, made a test call to my cell phone with Google Voice/Hangouts from my PC, and it works and sounds great! Thanks again!

I believe there is an actual issue here.
If you play music and have the notification selection for SMS or phone calls open, and pause the music and select a notification or ringtone, it will play from both speakers and be loud and sound great.
If you play it again, it will suddenly only play from the bottom speaker. If this is intended, it's not a good decision in my opinion. It's way too quiet.

so this XML fixes the issue and makes ringtone play via both speakers?
because i rooted my phone, didnt find a solution, restored back to stock. just want to make sure this works, to go through the rooting proccess again,.

Notifications sound ... Bug or missing feature?

So its new phone day (well its day 3) and i have problems i hope you have solutions. So the old phone (also running pie) ment i could change my text tone (tone1) facebook notifications (tone 2).
So i now have tone one as the default tone but it now is every tone on the phone, so easy go in the app and change it. Except messages does not have a sound option for notification.
Not to worry i think i can just change facebooks sound ....nope that don't have a sound for notification section ... ah i think i can turn facebook sound off .... i only need to see the notification in the shade ... nope facebook doesn't have that either ... any advice?
Thanks in advance
