If anyone is facing a low in-call volume with the ROM Te4m/Kang-builds of CM9
Please use the following method to solve it
“I recommend if you take a copy of /system/Build.prop before modifying it”
Warning: Do not use value more than 100 in volume steps
you must be root
get root explorer
browse to /system
edit Build.prop
add the following line at the end of build.prop
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=100
reboot your phone
once your phone is up make a call and increase the volume to your convenience
I recommend if you take a copy of Build.prop before modifying it
This is just a simple build.prop edit
Instructions
1. Backup build.prop
2. Open build.prop
3. Add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the end
And I advice you to set DPI to 120.
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy
Works good but the buttons are quite large though

would be nice if it also disables the physical buttons, otherwise its easier to use the buttons and spare some screen size
First & as always, it's safest, since you're working in the /sys or /system file path to make a nandroid backup before hand just in case.
hasn't been tested for JB but i believe it will work.
using a file explorer on the phone, mount the system as Read/Write,
navigate to the directory path:
WAKE - turns on volume rocker wake
WAKE_DROPPED - shuts the the wake off
/system/usr/keylayout/
find the "ffa-keypad.kl" file, long press it, open in text editor
find VOLUME_UP
and
VOLUME_DOWN
and type "WAKE" next to each entry. this will enable wake on volume rocker.
if you were wanting to disable wake on volume rocker type "WAKE_DROPPED".
then settings or menu and "save changes"
now, in the same directory, open "fluid-keypad.kl", "generic.kl.
and do the same steps to add "WAKE" or "WAKE_DROPPED" accordingly next to each Volume UP/DOWN entry.
may require a restart of the phone to take effect.
exelent info ..thanks
I'm on stock UVMC6 rooted and this is not working for me. I've made changes to all three files and after a reboot, no luck.
Help? I really need this mod. I've seen edits to Android policy .jar in the past but I'm not too sure how that works or whether that is needed in this case.
I tried this too and it didn't work. I followed the instructions and had no luck with it.
Same, both files say dropped, but still able to wake screen with volume keys. Running Jedi mind trick

to enable vol wake, you have to mod the android.policy.jar
does this make both volume up and volume down to function as the power button? or just one of them? also, is it possible to change the power button to act as volume down/up?
thanks!

Thanks for the info.
Was anyone ever able to get this working? I tried the guide in the first post and no luck.
Running UVMC6, rooted.
Does anyone have an android.policy.jar for this ROM edited for volume wake?

Thanks, but I'm trying to enable, not disable.
Solved
Solved it.
Install the stock ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226860 and the volume mod is available as well.

You could do that if you want, but I think in order to turn non the volume wake mod, you just reverse the process and everything should be working

I tried that first, unfortunately it doesn't work with Jellybean. JB requires changes to the android.policy.jar which requires far more work.
Hi there,
here is the mod for skipping music tracks when long-pressing the volume buttons. This is for stock ROM 14.71.8 DEODEXED ONLY!!
So, if you have an unlocked bootloader and have root access, you may apply my following mod. I'll guide you step through step as we got no CWM recovery yet, so you must do it manually.
- download android.policy.jar and move it to your internal SD card with an explorer or via adb:
Code:
adb push android.policy.jar /sdcard/
- after that type in the following commands, beware that su wants you to grant root access (SuperSU popup)
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/android.policy.jar /system/framework/
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Done! Enjoy this mod
Reminder: Although this mod was tested on my device, I'll take no responsibility if you damage your system, so just do it if you know what you do!
If we have CWM, I will provide a flashable .zip then.
Modification?

Thanks for this, something I miss from my old Sony Ericsson are the physical music player buttons.
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction of modifying this to make a small alteration; instead of vol-down skipping backward a track I'd like it to have the Play/Pause functionality. That is a button press that I'd use much more often!
Another (perhaps more complicated) solution is to have a double-tap of the power button do this Play/Pause, with double taps of the volume buttons providing the skip tracks effect.

Change the keycode in line 48 in com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager$VolumeLongPressR.smali from 58 to 55 and you are done.
Unfortunately this mod doesn't support double taps and I don't know how to integrate this easily
shaftenberg, could you please give a sources? Or just a list of .smalli files that you changed?
Sure.
You have to add 2 files in com\android\internal\policy\impl and have to edit PhoneWindowManager.smali.
Note, there are two/three different mods around here at XDA. I used all of them and I found out that the one with "lyapota" (you will see in the sources) works most reliable, whereas the other one (I used it in the Nexus 5 mod) works too but is a little bit less responsive and doesn't work with all media players.
The hardest part is to find the right variables, if you want to use this mod in other phones. The first time I did this, I used this thread as a good start but you can't simply copy as this won't work then
Attached are my modded .smali, the 2 ones you have to add and a .txt with the diff's to the original MotoG-smali.
Nice trick mate, can't wait to see this in a custom rom.
Skip music tracks with Volume buttons 4.4.2
shaftenberg I'm with rom kitkat 4.4.2 and would like function if do not ask for much could do this mod for it
I'm with the rom Blur_Version.171.44.31.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR
I'll leave the files from my rom
sorry for bad english I'm Brazilian
