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'm looking for an app to change the sound profiles that works with ICS and the GN from Sprint. I previously used "Profile" by noimjosh but that doesn't seem to toggle the vibrate mode anymore. In fact none of the sound/vibrate apps seem to toggle my vibrate mode anymore. Just wondering if anybody can recommend something that has a multi widget to select vibrate etc? I know I can hold the power button and toggle vibrate etc, but i was looking for something more customizeable, IE vibrate, quiet, silent, loud, etc,
I can't seem to find anything that will actually toggle the vibrate on 4.0.4 so any help would be appreciated.
I would like my phone to lower all sound and turn off all vibration EXCEPT incoming call vibration at night. I've tried a few different apps and programming in Tasker but since setting silent mode overwrites the call volume setting I can't do it that way, and I can't manipulate the vibrate on notify setting. This stems from the fact that ringer and notification are both linked. I am rooted and really don't want to flash a ROM to unlink the two.
Hi guys, I am on stock firmware and love the phone - except from the vibration, that is simply too hard and loud for my taste. I have disabled the touch vibration, I have disabled vibration for calls and I also disabled it in various apps like WhatsApp. But I cannot seem to get a hold of the vibration for standard notifications from apps without their own notification settings. A friend of mine has the same phone without notification vibration and he does not remember any specific setting he could have disabled and I cannot find any myself. Am I experiencing a bug or does anybody have an idea?
Heya,
so, as the title says, I'm having issues muting the notification and app sounds, while still allowing phone calls to get through and ring the phone out loud.
In the past, this was achievable by the Do Not Disturb mode. Right now however, it doesn't mute notifications anymore, as that is now done by the new "silent" mode. But that one also mutes incoming calls, which is completely unusable for me (I have occasional on-call nights when I need to be available on my phone, even if I'm sleeping, yet find the constant pinging of the apps super annoying).
The only working solution I found was to go into notification settings and block notifications from most of the very frequent apps... Which is annoying, as I also have to not forget to toggle the notifications back the next day.
Is there still a way to achieve the "Mute media and notifications, keep calls" combo in Android 12 + MIUI 13? Thanks!
On most phones the phone ringtone and notification volume is separate, is that not the case in your device?

Unfortunately not, instead, I have media, calls and alarm clock (as seen in the screen).
If I mute media, I still get notification and call sounds. If I mute the bell, I no longer get either. Dnd has no effect on the notification sounds.

This certainly sucks, can't every smartphone company share good things from each other instead of adopting all the bad changes. look around on Google maybe there are apps for this.

Hey have you found any solution? As I'm also struggling with same problem
It sucks, but until they fix it, you can use this app.
On the downside, it not only mutes sound, but completely mutes the notification including the badges , though. Anyone please post if you have a better solution.
i know im late. but i found a fix. (kinda) if you remove your notification sound completely. through settings, notifications and vobrations, notification sound and then while in the themes app. ringtone, and then no romg tone. even tho i thaught it changed the ringtone. if you go through settings first. ot will change the notification sound and not the ringtone. hope this helped
While waiting patiently for A13 ROMs for my current daily driver to mature a bit more I am using a silent audio file for the notification sound. I can't believe all these years MIUI still doesn't have an option to unlink calls and notification volume.
