Any way to change the volume control to smaller increments?

At the moment the volume control only has 5 levels of volume. I'd like to have smaller increments if possible. When i'm listening to music it's either too quiet or too loud so i'd like a level inbetween.

You can use your finger on the volume screen to give smaller increments, not sure if that helps or not!

Thanks for the suggestion but i've already tried that and it's still only at five different levels. I'm using the omega ROM though. Wasn't a problem before but this ROM changes the volume screen and other ones i've installed still only have five volume levels.

Volumex allows up to 16 leves for the speaker

what the OP is asking... is if there is a way... perhaps a registry edit or something along those lines.. which will make the volume raise/lower in smaller increments... downloading a whole new volume application is not a fix/solution... he is looking for a why to keep the manilla/sense version of the volume interface and tweak it from there... i know this, because i was looking for the same thing a while back.. but to no avail... so yea.. sorry OP... unless you want to use a completely different volume interface... you're kinda stuck... just get used to it... that's what i did

You can use THIS app to add your music app to the allowed list for use of the smaller 'media volume' control (the volume control you get on the sense music tab etc). This has more, smaller increments so you have more control.

Thanks pckshd I was looking for a program like this. Sweet

HA HA. With a name like pckshd do you happen to work for or be the creator of PocketShield and Volumex LOL. You've recommended PocketShield and Volumex a few times in the past.

Hey! then man asked for more volume levels, volumex has that (and even more features he might find interesting). Was just a tip

I also found this tip very useful, i have searched this kind of cab for a long time. Thanks pckshd.

There is possibly a free (or at least not a trial) solution in post 6^^^^^^

Universal volume controls?

one thing i love about iOS (dont hate) is that whether you are playing a game, listening to music, or your phone is ringing, the volume for all of these is the same. This is so useful because you know that if you sneakily open a game in lessons etc you know if the volume is going to be loud, or if you want to watch a video you can tell if its going to shout at you before you play.
I find it extremely frustrating when i load up angry birds for example and press the lower volume rocker and all it does is lower my ring volume if the game has not fully loaded yet, meaning i then have to do it again with my media volume once the game (or whatever) has loaded up.
I am wondering if there is an app that will allow me to set a universal volume controlled by the volume rocker? and that will change both media and ring volume (and any other type of volume) just by chaning the volume rocker. Does anyone know any apps?

I am not sure if this is the right section for it to go in, if not please could a mod move it. Many thanks

Exist?
so does an app even exist for this. BTW i am using a desire HD non-rooted

Audio Manager. Add a widget to your homescreen, and control the Media volume when you want to.

Thanks. Audio manager is great for checking what the level is which I'd really useful do I know if I open a game etc I know what the volume will be. But does anyone actually know if there is a way to have all the different volumes levels controlled by the volume rocker?

Did you find any way of doing this easily? I have the same problem and I can't believe it's a hell of a lot more of a common issue tbh.

Just a quick update for anyone searching - I found an app called 'Master Volume' which has worked for me.
It doesn't offer anything in terms of exceptions or individual control I don't think, but importantly it DOES link the volume controls together and links them at the same time to the rocker switch on the phone.
So you install it, then I opened the all and it says to just leave the service running in the background (so I set my task killer app to ignore the process). That's it. It just seems to work no problem.
Result!

Hi Cret could you share the link to the app you mention?

Skip track hold volume buttons

Hi,
I use my nexus 5 to play music in the car. What was really handy was an exposed module that started playing music as soon as the headphone jack was connected. It also jacked the media volume to max, skipping the annoying safe volume warning. While the screen was off holding the volume skipped the track.
Now I have installed android L to give that a go. It is great but this is the only feature that I miss. Now with no xposed I have gone searching for an alternative app. I have tried a few but of the half that actually worked none of them stay working. After some time they no longer skip the track.
I don't know if this is maybe just not possible with a standard app, which is why the xposed module exists. But it would be greatly appreciated if anyone has found of a reliable app which performs this task.

Try Apollo (default CM music app) I'm not sure if it works on Android L but it does have the features your looking for..

It's a framework integration hence the need for Xposed or a custom ROM. Or you could manually decompile and recompile (if you can even get it to work with the L API level).
Or, wait.

How about with Tasker?

Don't think Tasker can do it. I seem to recall looking into it quite some time ago.

Thanks for the messages. I have tried Apollo but i much prefer the Google play music. Mainly for streaming music. I would have through this feature would be in the official app but i guess not.

K I'm making it my mission today to figure this out with Tasker. I've been using tasker for forever and I've got some pretty advanced profiles. I'll figure this out with Google Play Music
Edit: I did find this app. But I'm gonna still try to do this with tasker.
Check out "Pocket Skip Track"

Sorry for my late reply.
Why couldn't Tasker do it? Just install this plugin and set your profiles. That should work.

I have tried Pocket Skip Track before and it didn't fully work. Just tried it again and chose other music instead of Google music. That seems to work. Let's see if it stays working. It's a shame it's a 2 button press instead of hold it it will do for now

Its not that easy bud. Trust me. It seems Tasker can not see the volume keys as hardware keys. Will work on this tonight or tomorrow.

There's a reason Xposed or a custom ROM is used to do it lol..

I know its been a while but I seriously want to get this to work with tasker. Did you get this working?

Poweramp will start music automatically when a headset or bluetooth is connected.
Cataclysm ROM will enable the track skip while long-pressing the volume.
Unfortunately I don't know about how to set the volume to max automatically, but I think you can disable the volume warning message within Cataclysm ROM too.

I'm trying to get this working too in tasker. Hold vol Up to skip forward etc. Can't see how to get tasker to detect this. (basically the back/forward buttons are broken)

made it possible on non rooted phones
try Frinky Music Controller
I always wanted to have an app which controls music with volume keys but i could not find any which does it smoothly. So I developed my own . My app Frinky Music Controller on GOOGLE PLAY controls music with volume keys and smartly controls music volume. It supports more 200 music players including poweramp, musixmatch, doubletwist, la musique, rocket player, blackplayer, pi music player, and Spotify. It works on both rooted and non-rooted phones.
Some features of the app are :
Next Song -- press volume UP key single time to play next song.
Previous Song -- use volume DOWN key to play previous song.
Control Volume -- when we want to control music volume , most of the time we press volume key more than once (next time when you adjust volume , feel it) . So the app uses this tendency of users as a function to control music volume i.e press volume key more than once to adjust volume.
Stop song -- Oh! you play music in your class in absence of professor here comes the professor .... turn off the music quickly by UP+UP+DOWN+DOWN key action (it takes less time than muting the volume and unlocking the screen .
Sleep Timer : Single sleep timer for all your music apps.
Manually control app's service : well to understand this feature you will have to download the app.
It consumes very less amount of ram.
I am new here so can not post link.

[Q] Is there a "Long press volume to skip tracks" mod?

I'm on the stock g920T---OCG rom, rooted, and looking for a way to control the music in my pocket.
Anyone care to teach me how to make this mod?
Maybe it already exists somewhere? :highfive:

Such an awesome mod that really does need to be added as an option in stock ROMs more often. Be much better than accidentally blasting mega volume into your ears because you've already accepted responsibility for bypassing safe volume once today :3
In other words, BUMP!

I haven't seen it yet. Maybe that'll be my next mission.

I agree. This should be an option on stock roms. I'm surprised that it isn't by now.

Also, whenever I get a notification while listening to music it'll fade out then play notification sound then music again.
That is a nice feature for calls but not notifications. Is there any way to change it?
For now I just turn off wifi/data.

Do you use the stock music player? I use Power Amp and don't get that. Unless it's because I have notifications set to mute?

Yea that's gotta be it, thanks. I didn't think of that.

I'm also looking for a way to do this mod.

I need this! Please!

Root your phone, install xposed then download wanam kit and go to the sound option and u can skip tracks with screen off.. Your welcome

How can I have the Volume Keys adjust Ringtone/Notification Volume?

It seems to do Media Volume FOREVER, even when no media is playing. I have no option short of going into settings to change volume.
Suuuuper annoying.
Thanks

This is Pie (Google) thing, not Asus's.

Well that's pretty annoying, TIL this new native feature.
I'll look if any apps can help out.
