Ring/Notifications - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

So I got use to my N8 with separate ring volume and notification volume. Not only does my XL not have separate volumes for each it doesn't even have a ring/mute/vibrate toggle which is very annoying.
I know tiles app is available, but don't really want to use it as it should be native to Android.
Arrgh!

Another limitation to the stock Android OS. You have to use an app or get a custom firmware.

Serriously, is there an app that can do this?

You can't separate the ringer and notification volume without rooting AFAIK. There are apps which let you toggle between combinations of Volume on-Vibrate-Silence though. That's what I use.

I'm rooted. What next? Found volume butler to work but apparently it's constantly draining the battery

need apk for Screen Orientation Control Ver. 1.1

I have been more than happy not rooting and really enjoyed using the Screen Orientation Control app from Eflow Inc.....until updating the other day.
Now they have updated the app and the landscape screen now sets in the total opposite side of the Nexus 7. Now the bottom is the side where the power and volume buttons are. Because of the case I have and they way i use the Nexus, I cant accept this odd change.
Does anyone have or know where I could get the the Ver.1.1 apk? I could not find the 1.1 version file anywhere and do not think it is possible to "undue" an app update.
EDIT SEPT 19th. Now after uninstalling and reinstalling this app works correctly like it did originally.

You could always try emailing the app developer and asking them for it

Without root you can use the default launcher with full home screen rotation, gotta look for it, but its here somewhere in the n7 app section. They put it on the market I believe.
I'm using full home screen rotation with the default launcher and it works great! I did it the root way (adding a small one line text file) but its the same thing as if you use the launcher apk.

Then use a backup and restore app to save the previous version that worked for you.

Xposed Multiwindow Mod?

I'm looking to possibly get a Galaxy Note 8.0 down the road for a custom dash install for my car. I was wondering if there was a possibility to get the Xposed Multiwindow Mod from the Galaxy Note II to work on this device.

It works fine. Please do not comment if you are unsure of things, because you can start a huge row for developers.
I am running it right now on my tablet, and it runs great.
It works perfectly for me!

Really? Can you run Spotify and navigation side by side?
I was able to get it working also.
Folks should be aware that it is very difficult to use the CWR tools to get rid of it again at this time, though you can do it manually via ADB.
Also that Odin recovery does not wipe out installed apps, which I did not know and am happy about. (I tried changing dpi using a different one of the Xposed modules; it did not work and my phone bootlooped. I had the uninstall around, but was not able to install it via CWR.)
The multiwindow one works nicely. There's also an app in the play store that works for enabling multiwindow view for many more apps.
I don't use Spotify so I don't know about that one in particular.
Out of curiosity what is the diff with this and multi window mgr. Be gentle i am using mwm but int in the diff.

I don't know, MWM just didn't Work for me.

It's very similar to multiwindow manager, honestly. MWM is a little funky in that the app itself doesn't know that the Note 8 exists yet. I think I told it I was using a note II and it let me add whatever I wanted to multiwindow mode.
The one thing I have not tested yet with the new way of adding multiwindow functionality to the device is the camera. With MWM running, if multiwindow mode is enabled the camera locks up the device.

I haven't tried the camera yet while using it but I don't take many pix with a tablet. For MWM to work you have to disable the patch it mentions when you launch it first. Other than that it works with all my apps. I also love multi touch gestures app.Update just used the camera with no issues. First time I tried it. Pretty good image for a tablet.
I'm using the Xposed method and while the camera doesn't fc there is apparently no shutter button. In fact I'm typing this from one window with the camera in the other.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 2
And I have to admit that this is far from my go-to camera - but occasionally I'll launch the app accidentally or on purpose, and it'd be nice to not have it hink out on me.
The fix for me has been to disable multiwindow mode in the system preference, and that may well work for the Xposed mwindow modification as well.
Xposed is a framework with developer interest from the companion Samsung devices and it may allow for other things to arrive fairly quickly on the device, before a full rom is ready.
This is awesome; I'm definitely going to be getting one of these for my dash install later this year

[Q] DISABLE audio controls on lockscreen

I'm running Vanilla Rootbox 4.0 ROM, but this has bugged me with other ROMs for quite some time. I guess when 4.1 or 4.2 came out, Android started making audio controls on lockscreen available. That's wonderful for people that want them, but I HATE them. I've searched off and on for months to find out how to turn them off and all I ever find is people saying how glad they are to have them. No one seems to want to disable them completely, as I do. Can anyone please help me? I want the lock screen to look exactly the same no matter what apps are running on my phone.
What music player are you using (I'm assuming stock?) I honestly haven't seen a way on how to remove the stock controls except by using another music player. I use PowerAmp and I never get the lockscreen controls.
Hope it helps

ANYTHING that plays sound does it. The stock music player, Pandora, Slacker Radio. Heck, even Mort Player (audiobooks) shows the controls when it's running.

Hmmm that's odd.
And you've looked thru all the settings in both apps and ROM settings right?
It might be hidden in there somewhere.
I'm on AoCP and I never get the controls
Give it a shot

Boy I sure would be happy if it were that simple and I was just blind, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Closest thing I can see is in the AOKP settings (Rootbox is an AOKP and CM hybrid) for the lockscreen where it lists an option to control music volume with the volume keys from the lockscreen. This setting doesn't affect the widget though.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
I've been reading a bit about AoCP and I may just have to give it a run. I hate wiping my device and spending a whole day setting everything back up, but this issue is really irritating me and it seems like lots of people are very happy with AoCP.

Just use Tinanium Backup to make a flash able zip of all your apps or use the app alone to back up apps and data so that next time you flash it just takes you 3 minutes to set up everything

I've tried that and had it fail horribly on me in the past. The only time I've been able to restore backups made with TB has been when restoring to the same version ROM. A couple times I made a backup, flashed a completely different ROM, went to restore and was unable to. So I just don't even trust it anymore when it comes to flashing ROMs.
Question though since you're obviously knowledgeable about AoCP and I'm too much of a n00b to post in the AoCP thread. The thread says:
AoCP_I747_CP5.6 -dev host link
This is 3.4 kernel base and it is very stable
AoCP_I747_5.6-kernel -dev host link
Just so I'm clear here, do I need to install the top link AND THEN install the kernel link as well? I haven't messed with any ROMs where a separate kernel download was given, so I just want to be sure I don't cause more issues for myself.
Just download the ROM and gapps (which you should have if you've ran any 4.2.2 ROMs )
No extra steps or anything
5.6 should be the release right now.
There is more goodies coming really soon
But the dev.host link should be it

Thanks jayRokk. I got AoCP installed without issue. Not a bad ROM, though I prefer Rootbox better. Too many extras I've gotten used to, I guess. The bigger issue, however, is that I had the same issue with AoCP. The stock music app did not show any controls on the lock screen, but everything else did. I did a complete wipe before flashing and cleared davlik both before and after flashing, so I'm positive it's not some weird setting I have somewhere that's managed to carry over from ROM to ROM.
I am 100% with you on this. I hate the lock screen controls and can not find a single thread about deleting them. I'll watch this thread and let you know if I find anything.

Widget locker disables the notification bar when locked.... you do have to buy it though... I tried it and does work.

I don't want to disable the notification bar thou. I don't even want to disable all lock screen widgets just the music controls. I love dashclock. That's what I want of my default lock screen. If the music controls could even be moved to a second lock screen like the camera that would be awesome. I guess I should say I'm on CM. I have no idea how touchwiz handles these things.

Exactly this. While I certainly appreciate the responses from everyone trying to help, the idea of spending $3.00 on a 3rd party app just to fix what, IMO, is a pretty major oversight (just give me a setting in a menu to enable/disable it) is a very hard pill to swallow. I currently use Lockscreen Policy to disable the camera and all secondary widget screens. I've emailed the developer to see if they could add the ability to disable the music controls as well, but haven't heard anything back. ALL I want on my lock screen is time, date, battery and next alarm, which the stock locker and dashclock give me. If only I could disable the $%^#@ audio controls!

Ringtone and Notify volume change depending on time APP

Sorry for the quirky topic title.
I am looking for an simple and light app to control my ringtone and notifications volume depenging on time. Im looking for simpliest and most resource light app to control it via user set profiles.
Prefering free or really cheap app options.
Any ideas? I remember that there was this huge app for android that controlled almost everything via time, gps, sunsets etc. but I dont need such complicated app.
I just want to automaticaly set loud ringtone volume between 9:00-21:00 and low volume between 21:00-9:00 and thats all.

issues since update to Android 7

Just seeing if anybody else has been experiencing any issues since the update to Android 7
Some of the issues I've seen.
1. When trying to update apps and I load another app, the play store will freeze (notification screen will say play store is not responding)
2. When I have multiple apps open, the recent apps button seems to hit or miss if it actually wants too display anything
3. When using the facebook app and I press the recent apps button, I get the split screen, but the face book news feed goes blank
1) tried a few times, no freeze
2) works like a charm here, 30+ open apps, task switcher is instantly there & double tap to quick switch between apps is working flawlessly..
3) cant test, no facebook account
Cheers

No issues here. Thing has been smooth.
Facebook even works fine in split screen
No issues noted on my end, Facebook shows up normally, although it does give the warning that it may not work properly in split screen.

For point 1, try sideloading the latest Play Store and Google Play Services APKs.
For points 2 and 3, these seem like they might be Nougat issues, and not HTC 10 issues. Try a google search and see if you find anything.
No issues at all either. Ran perfect the few days I had it in my phone.

I've been having a few issues since the update too. The stock weather clock doesn't seem to work on apex launcher. Haven't tried it on any other launcher yet, but it works fine on the sense launcher. I also haven't been getting notifications right away for gmail and some other apps. It might be some overly aggressive power saving. I noticed those particular apps are completely closed and gone from the recent apps drawer after a while and I get the notifications when I open them manually. Going to try turn off power saver for a day and see if it does anything

Did you dirty flash? If so then full wipe and avoid restoring apps until you can verify that the rom works as expected..
Let us know how you get on
My concern is signal ,is very bad after update and the download speed is Lower than any other phone ,even Lower than axon 7, I did a speed test in the same spot and axon 7 got double the speed than HTC 10

I too love the m8. A beast. The 10 is a worthy successor. And i personally prefer it more to the other flagships as well. The only ups are that it has a fingerprint scanner, way better camera and the high res audio. You won't feel much difference in the perfomance if running normal apps. So if you want these things, go for it else flash CM 14.1 in your M8. I too have flashed cm14.1 and everything has improved.
I hope you have got the answer to your question.

I think so, thanks. I mainly love the smoothness, the sound volume of the speakers and the sound quality of the headphones (my last smartphones were Samsung and they sucked on those departments) on my m8 but I've read that the speakers sound better on a quite ambient (more bassy) and the headphone quality is even better, is that true?

The audio coming from the 10 is absolutely terrific. One can also create certain audio profiles and once you get the hang of it, you will be amazed to see the power of this device in the music section.

I had the same exact devices as you and the International One X, and Sprint Evo 4G LTE before those and I am loving everything about the HTC 10! The Nougat update allows you to disable the standing notifications in your notification drawer and a couple of status bar icons. You can also add a few quick toggles and that is Nougat stock...I am going to clean up my SD card and flash ViperROM because I have run it on all of the HTC devices I have owned and it always works great for me!

It's a Sense based ROM but has the BEST and most customization options like status bar brightness slider, horizontal tenable quick toggles, also vertical quick toggles, custom theming, a whole Venom Hub full of add ons and more but it absolutely stays true to Sense...unless it still has the "De-Sense" option in the Aroma installer options
