[Q]Where is my volume control !! - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having managed get my Kindle Fire happily booting a KitKat Rom ( pac_otter_4.4.4.RC-1_20140917-121132.zip ) thanks entirely to the excellent videos and threads of @sd_shadow I can't seem to find any way of controlling audio volume - should I not have access to a volume panel ? I am a total Android novice :silly:

Pull down top notification bar (near time) select setting, scroll down to sound
I use Volume Control Widget, free in play store

Volume control app

I'm looking for a volume control app that put a volume control right next to the battery and WiFi display on the top of the screen. All the volume control app I have tried put the volume control on the main screen. Let me know if other is a app the put the volume control next to the battery display

There are volume widgets that can be placed on the home screen for controlling the volume of your device.
I think he meant the volume buttons on some cheap tablets that is integrated in the status bar. A plus (+) and a minus (-) button beside the clock and all.. It is not an app but is included in some chinese roms.

There are two ways you can achieve this:-
Option 1 ~ Download a Volume Control app (Volume Ace for eg) and place it as a folder with other icons in your Docked icons (what I mean here is drop more than one icon in the same place as one of your Docked icons to create a docked folder icon.
Option 2 ~ Download Elixer2 and create a Notification icon whereby every time you pull down the notification window you will then see a volume icon displayed. Simply tap this and it releases a pop-up window where you can control all 6 aspects of volume on your Nexus 7.
Or you could try this.....

Audio Control had full Jelly Bean support
Audio Control is my favorite volume management app. I've tried them all and nothing compares. Plus there is full support for Jelly Bean included.

My favourite is Volume Control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.VolumeControl
Control volume from every app.
Place the thin volume indicator e.g. at the top center border.
With Android 4.2 you then have 3 menus when swiping across the notification bar.
I use Settings Extended, it does add the controls to the left hand notification panel though. I turn off all the un-needed controls that are now duplicated in the 4.2 settings drop down and just leave the volumes one. Its good because it lists more volume sliders than the stock volume control.

Someone told me a while ago about a button on the right hand side of the nexus.
Pressing up turns the volume up, and down turns it down.
I never would have spotted it if I hadn't have been told.
I've been using it loads since.
I think they are just scared it might wear off, just like what happen to my lg optimus one.

If you are using landscape mode most of the time (I am), it becomes annoying to try and reach. I do use a case though, so the buttons are harder to push.
Another option I use is 'Control Panel for Android'.
It gives you immediate control over a number of items including all the different Volume Levels.
To control the Volume level for say Ringer simply slide down the notification panel and tap on the Volume icon. It will then bring up a transparent showing all 6 different volume levels. Pick the Ringer and slide the volume down to the required level.
It truly is a great app. You can control a number of different things all by one touch ~ Wifi, Bluetooth, Sound, Vibrate, Auto Rotation, Mobile Data, Airplane Mode, Sound Effects, Haptic Feedback, Dial Tone, Auto-Time, Ringtone, Volume, Ring-Mode, Brightness, Screen Timeout, Screen Stay On and the main Control Panel
I should of added in my post Control Panel for Android is also mentioned by the author here in xda-devs.
Worth looking at the comments as well.

[Q] Question about volume control and the Kindle app!

I have a Kindle Fire with Android 4.2.2.
I am wondering if there is a volume widget that controls ALL of the volume controls with one slider? I downloaded one widget but it had 6 different sliders, I just want one that controls volume for everything.
Also, I have the kindle app installed, and there are no covers showing on my PDF files. On my iPhone the kindle app displays covers for PDF files just fine, what can I do to fix this?

Volume control (Pro)
I can't link it because I don't have 10 posts. If you see this in the URL you've got the right one. id=rubberbigpepper.VolumeControlPro
It has many options for the way it's displayed. The picture doesn't do it justice. You can control the main volume of your device with one small slider that can be on the screen at all times, and you can even pick the size, color, and position of the volume slider. It's the best one I tried for Kindle.

I second this app. I tried quite a few different apps/widgets before finding this one and loving it. I use the free version and it's great. The volume slider you get is easy to use, and you can control the positioning/size/transparency/etc as Scoobio said.

Dasaita PX6 Touch Buttons

Hi,
I just installed a Dasaita PX6 Max 10 in my nissan. It has touch buttons down the left hand side of the unit to select the menu, navigation, music, volume down and volume up.
I can go into the touch key study and remap the buttons without issue, choose a different program for the navigation button to load etc but I can't choose the buttons to load custom applications. There is no option to change the default music player so I am hoping there is a work around. I have tried a couple of button mappers from the play store with no success.
Does anyone know how to change the buttons?
Thanks.

Nothing. I have looked and followed posts to bind the buttons, albeit this only allows me to choose from a predefined list. It doesn't allow me to choose a specific application as far as I can see.
I haven't read posts where someone says this can't be done, nor have I read a post with instructions. Therefore I am wondering if I am missing something obvious and hence why no one else has this issue?
My software appears to be the latest available according to another forum post.

I'm not sure if that's a glitch. There could be a reason they don't want you assigning apps to the touch buttons... I don't know, but you can always customize your launcher or even install your own with customisable app buttons.
Thanks for your reply. For the time being I have downloaded Agama launcher which appears to integrate well, and I have disabled the music button.
From other research it appears that if the device was rooted then I could possibly use mtce tools or services to re assign the buttons so I'm currently looking for instructions for doing that, as the other articles appear to refer to px5 devices.
did you have any further success? I'm very much interested in that, too.

Unfortunately not. I didn't want to try and root it incase I messed up zlink and my vehicle specific parameters.
I just disabled the music button for now and use agama to launch everything.

Hi,
Yes I found that a different version of mcd tools which I downloaded from here:
Post in thread '[Release][PX3|PX5] MtcdTools-Control music players, customize buttons, voice control' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-buttons-voice-control.3436789/post-83416527
Allowed me to custom bind the music buttons to dab+.
I just had to change the factory setting for the music button first. I set it up to launch the radio on long press only. That way when I bound a short press using mcdtools it didn't open the default radio app in the background.
Yeah! Found that too and wanted to post it here, but haven’t had time to further play around with it. Works on my Dasaita Max10. Good tip the factory setting thing!
by the way: rooting worked flawlessly with this instruction (also based on posts in this forum):
It's all working great now. I have set the touch buttons up to open the media player on a single click and disabled that application In settings. This has allowed me to set it to open dab z on short press and Spotify on long without it opening the media player at all.
Previously I used it to open the default radio app and that caused issues with it going back to Spotify or dab z.
would you mind describing a bit more detailed, what exacly you did (which exact settings). Would apreciate that very much!
I'll post proper instructions tomorrow, but I went into factory settings and set the music button to open the media player on a short press. Then in Android applications I disabled the media player applocation so it didn't launch anything when pressed.
I then used mtcdtools to create actions for dab z and Spotify.
Then I bound the action to the key for the music button. Choosing dab z for the short press and Spotify for the long press.
thats proper enough for me, Thanks!
I downloaded poweramp from play store and it integrates with no hacking or rooting. I set it as my touch key default music player. Very much recommend it.

Firestick 4k Rooted button remap

Hey guys, today I searched several hours for something to remap prime video/netflix/disney/music and that tv button near volume from my remote (guide?). Button Remapper/tvQuickActions is not seeing those buttons and I only found something without root that is remapping netflix and disney only to another apps. (no shortcuts, intents etc). I`m dissapointed because I have root and 5 buttons with no use... Any help please regarding this ?
Do you think xeed.xposed.cbppmod Physical Button Master Control is working for this remote ?
Ok I came back with some feedback. Until now only with xeed.xposed.cbppmod I could achieve this. Is reading very well the imput from stick remote dedicate buttons. Is a pain in the ass to use it because is a touch screen module and I had to use some wireless mouse app from phone, guge lag etc. nad I had to use an older version of Physical Button Master Control because with the newer one, I could not select any app/intent/shortcut option.
Xposed Edge has been working fine for me for many months. It also has many more features apart from button remap. Highly reccomend
Ok so I will only need xposed framework and edge module right ? How is it with navigation keys? With Physical Button Master Control module is a nightmare on firetv.
I used ‘Riru - LSPosed’ using Magisk instead of Xposed Framework and yes, I set it all up using just the Fire TV remote
Edit: The module is ‘Xposed Edge’, not ‘Edge’. You can just sideload apk
My config: ​
Home button
Single press: Wolf Launcher (this way you can have custom launcher with working alexa voice commands & firetv recommendations)
Double Press: Running Apps Drawer
Long Press: 3x3 custom panel
Back button
Double press: previous app
Long press: kill foreground app (useful in apps like Netflix)
Menu button:
Double press: Next App
Long Press: kill background apps (to free memory)
Live TV button:
Single press: Open Tivimate app (froze Live TV app using Xposed Edge Freezer for best results)
Double Press: Fire TV shows recommendations (you need to download ‘TV shows’ shortcut from app store’)
Long Press: Fire TV Movies recommendations (you need to download ‘movies’ shortcut from app store’)
Amazon Music button
Single press: Open YouTube (froze Amazon Music for best results)
.
Thank you. Seems that I can't use Riru - LSPosed on fire os 6 for my 4k. Minimum requirement, Android 8-12.

It doesn't matter, you just need xposed installed
Tanks again, edge is superior. Now I must find how can I disable black screen when a movie is paused or when listening music with kodi and tv closed screen. Tried using adb command for standby and screensaver, but I still have a black screen.
Black screen? I'm not experiencing the same problem, I dont think it has to do with Xposed Edge
True, I think is something dodgy with fire os and standby/screensaver.

Why not try Aerial Dream or Aerial Views screensaver? If it still doesn't resolve, I suppose you'll have to wipe data and set up again
Thanks, I will try that.
