I have an Android app that runs extremely well that does Text 2 Speech when someone rings me. Aka will say who is calling outloud. I selected the "Override ringtone" option in the application but it continues to ring and talk the name which is annoying. I only want it to talk, not ring.
How can I disable the ringtone permanently without muting it?
power button perhaps ?
Anyone have any sort of work around to enable independent control of the ringer and notification volume levels in ICS? Do any of the custom Roms have this ability?

No, they don't. Try this. Download Lightflow if you don't already have it, and try and set the notification tone for texting through that. I read somewhere the other day that the Lightflow notification will either override the global system volume or the other way around. I'm not exactly sure but download Lightflow and poke around in there.
It had something to do with setting the text volume in lightflow and the ringer volume with the global notifications.
Goodluck.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I have been using a profile application for a work around just like lightflow is doing, except with more functionaliTY. Basically I have been using Setting Profiles to set an incoming text messages or SMS message always to a profile with a particular ringtone, at a particular volume level. Same for phone calls. Then set exceptions to profiles for vibrate, silent, etc. That way at night I can tell my phone to go to silent but with an exception for phone calls. This is basically saying be quiet for notification sounds, but not for phone calls. There are other exceptions and possibilities but the end result is separate ringer and notification volumes. I can explain more if you are interested.
Does this work with other notifications like Google* or Twitter as wella sms?

Unfortunately I don't think so. But I also use LightFlow and I don't see where it lets you choose the volume level of the notification so it doesn't quite do the job either.
What I do is set my ringer volume to what I want it to be for notifications (any notification as controlled by the program the notification is coming from). Then I set rules for incoming calls and SMS (which is what SettingProfiles supports) to sound at a different ringer volume. That way I have effectively "separated" my volumes and still am able to have unique ringtones for the different applications that support it. Examples are:
1. Make a profile for Silent
2. Make a profile for Ringer set to max
3. Make rule in SettingProfiles for incoming calls to activate the Ringer profile
4. Put phone in Silent profile (ringer speaker completely muted so no ring or notifications)
5. Phone call comes in and Incoming call rule activates the Ringer profile for that call
The result is all notifications are silenced. I get an incoming call and it triggers the ring rule so my phone will still ring. Once the incoming call stops (either i answer it or it goes to vmail or whatever), it exits the Ringer rule and goes back to the state it was in before, which is my Silent profile.
The way I'm doing it, you don't need an application that handles notifications for each application. It's just changing your ringer volume based on different conditions. It only supports incoming call, unread SMS/MMS, schedule, time period, etc, though. But that's fine for me because I usually want all notifications to be whatever volume I've set my speaker to, except for phone calls and text messages, which under certain conditions, I always want to be allowed to sound, and sound loudly at maximum volume.
I use LightFlow to repeat notify for text messages and missed calls and change the notifications for various apps it supports, but all that is for is changing the LED, ringtone, repeat notify, etc. It doesn't do anything for the volume of any of those notifications, at least not specifically supported in the application anyway.
I use SettingProfiles to change the VOLUME of my speaker based on rules and priorities and use LightFlow to change the TYPE of notifications I receive in various applications.
I currently have Tasker set up to bump up the ringer volume of an incoming call from a specific contact.
It works fine if the volume is at 1 or higher but if the phone is on silent it sets the volume to 7 (I set it to display, so I can see the volume being maxed) but the phone doesn't ring.
I did digging and found that on some phones if the ringer is silent when the call is incoming it doesn't load the ring tone so if the volume is maxed after still it wouldn't ring.
I have also read other post with people who have the GNex who have a similar Tasker set up to the one I am looking to create. Which implies that the GNex is not one of the phone which remains silent if the phone was silent when the call came in.
Can any one confirm? Thanks.
I am rooted/stock. My tasker profile is very simple. State > incoming call from xxxxx contact. Task Ringer Volume to level 7.
I still don't know the answer to this question but in case someone else has a similar problem,
With Tasker I just modified by Profile a little
State> Incoming Call.
Task
If VOLR = 0
set VOLR level 7
Play Ringtone
Else
Set VOLR Level 7
Endif
Not sure if thats the best way to do it but it appears to be working.

My nexus rooted (and before I rooted it) with stock rom does it correctly with tasker.
If my phone is in silent and I get an incoming call from one of those I filtered it gets loud...
After the call the phone gets back to silent mode..
Problem: Instead of playing the selected ringtone when I get phone calls I hear the bonk sound hear when I adjust my volume? This remains even after reboot.
Solution: It was an application called CallBlocker. I had enabled a setting called Pre-Mute Ring which was causing the issue.
Call controll does work very well, however this feature does have a caveat indicating it might not work correctly on all phones. I think the purpose is to mute the ring until it can identify if the call is on the blacklist or not. After that, I think it's supposed to unmute so you can hear the ring.
I finally figured it out after numerous reboots and a kernel upgrade. The problem remained so I figured it had to be some piece of software that messed with the call settings.

While on a call, particularly speaker, is there no way to disable the keypress sound only during a call without doing it via the sound toggle or manually doing it in the settings? Doesn't seem to make any sense that certain sounds wouldn't automatically turn off so the caller wouldn't hear them. My previous HTC Hero did this automatically.

I have found this to be annoying as well. I have noticed that I have have my phone set on Vibrate (no sounds normally produced) and if I am on a call and an email or SMS comes in I get a notification sound. For some reason the sounds that are silenced when I am not on a call are produced when I am in a call.
I wish I knew of a solution to this issue.

This might work for you:
Phone>Call Settings>Call alert>Uncheck "Alerts on call"
Now help me fix my problem and we're even.
