In WM 6.5.x we no longer have the HTCVolumeChanger, but have the horrible WM volume changer, which isn't finger friendly at all.
My question to you, is what alternatives do you guys use?
you could look at SetVolume app.
Also look in TAEL ROM threads as have some relevant posts on this.
Personally I use the volume button & also use a volume bubble app which allows volume to be increased in smaller % steps, not finger friendly but esy via d-pad & button mapping.
im using setvolume now but it changes my ringer on whenever i get a call on vibrate so im looking for something else
ill try the TAEL thread
do you have any idea where?
Another app you could look at is volumekeys.
Do a search for "HTC volume control" & you should find plenty of threads on it, I don't think it is easily resolved but you may get lucky.

Is there a way to map one of the buttons or make a shorcut or something so you can turn bluetooth on and off with it.
Or better yet, is there a way to make bluetooth always on when the phone is charging.
Thanks as always
I'm not aware of any app to map bluetooth activation to a button press, but there is an application that will turn on/off bluetooth depending on your physical location. Check it out here.
This isn't a question for the ROM Development forum. In the future, please avoid asking these types of questions here.
Thanks!
Like Alex said, this is better posted in the Kaiser General Forum. In that forum I found the following post: HERE
The app CircleBT can be installed and then assigned to any button you want. I have it assigned to Button 6 Long Press and VibraSwitch (another great program) assigned to just Button 6.
Won't help w/ the Bluetooth on while charging question, but hopefully it will do you some good.
I've been searching for a while now and cant find a good app to use for volume control. I like the good ol htc volume control, but it doesnt work right in the latest releases. Ive used setVolume and volumeKeys but neither work all that well with the latest releases either. I would like to have the htc volume control working for the volume keys again, I was happiest with that. Any ideas?
Try Volumex by the same producer of PocketShield

Tried that. I get error messages while trying to save the settings telling me to try and save the settings again, lol. Its nice but is there any good freeware solutions?
I am using Volumex without any issues (Topaz WM 6.5 stock).
Did you already tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395695
yea in my first post. setVolume has some conflicts with the WM volume control and sometimes doesnt hook the volume keys.
P.s. tries using S2U2's volume control but that doesn't work period.
Just found a new fix. Lost the link but still have the file.
Sorry to raise a thread for this because I know this info is on the forum as I've read it in the past and done it, but I cannot find the post/thread in question and have already gone through loads of volume related stuff already while looking for it.
This was a tweak that enabled the volume transition from quiet to loud or vice versa do move really quickly when you hold the volume key up or down (in Sense in general rather than a specific program). I think it was a registry tweak rather than a feature in a cab (or a cab specially for this) but I may be wrong.
So for example the default is that if your phone is on Silent/Vibrate mode and you hold down the volume up key it steps up over a second or two until it reaches full volume. This tweak meant that you don't have to hold the key for as long to make it move quickly up or down.
I don't mean that it enables the volume to jump instantly from one end of the scale to the other, it still moves in steps, but it just moves a lot quicker.
I used to have it on my phone but I flashed it the other day and cannot find out how to get this back and I miss it - it's a nice touch!
Can anyone help? Thanks if so!
Bump! Surely someone must know how this is done? Well, I 'know' someone does since I previously had it set up like this but you know what I mean!
Would really appreciate being able to do this.
Hi,
I'm looking for this too. But no answer until now. I think (but I'm not an expert) that this should be easy to do.
I found it tonight by accident and I'm amazed no-one else has said the answer.
It's simply in windows>settings>personal>buttons as stepping speed.
I finally customized my mega the way I wanted it to be when I initially bought it. I'm also running a 6.5.5 rom. Unfortunately I still have some issues with it and I was wondering if someone knew anything about them. First of them is if it would be possible to remove the start soft key in the bottom left corner of the screen. That would be nice since the mega already has a hardware start key and the one on the screen becomes redundant. It would be nice if we would just have two soft keys in the bottom corners
Also, I looked for a solution for the ugly volume manager in these last builds but couldn't really find one. I tried other volume managers like setvolume but that one is buggy even with answering phone calls. I find that unacceptable because most of all, it's a phone. So maybe if we could restore the default one or use another one without so many bugs that would be great. I saw somewhere that a solution was already available but for vga phones. Maybe that could be ported to qvga
I am with you on this. Would love to see these fixes.
I need theses fixes too!!! WM 6.5.5 has bad interface...
Why does the volume control must be so fat and ugly??
The most important thing is volume control in the youtube app sucks!
I wish someone can fix the volume control to use back the original HTC one.
Erm ok, the problem is even when the default HTC Volume control is implemented in the ROM, for some reason WM 6.5.5 overwrites that. I tried a few times. I think that sucks cos I'm a student , and my phone needs to be on silent. But the new volume control can be activated on the lockscreen so I'm afraid it would turn silent off. Any suggestions for this?

There's a nice app called SetVolume that does the trick quite nicely. Also, there's a cab that can remove the start button. I lost the cab but there's a registry tweak that does the job. You can search for it.
Hello.
I need a program which can control my phones volume but control screen have to open by taskbar icon.
One good example is VolumeX but this is only trial.
Just checked the Volumex website....but could not see if it opens from taskbar (in 6.5 ofcourse). Can you confirm?
You must set it up on the 3rd tab at Start > Volumex Settings

Yes, I confirm that I can open it from taskbar
Thanks....than I need to get Volumex....
Well the Volumex thingy really sucked for me. First of all, it's too complicated. A volume control program should be up-volume up, down-volume down and two other buttons for vibrate and silent profiles. I don't need the default volume and interval checking features. It's like programming your day once more for using the volume control program on your smartphone. And that's dumb. And it has some sort of fade-out feature that is really annoying because it runs so slow that you can actually see the steps of it dissapearing and when you want to actually change the volume it doesn't check for idle state because I was pressing the volume keys and the app was doing it's routine of fading out even as I'm using it. Paying 10$ for this app would be a serious waste. It seems like it's the easiest thing in the world to write an app for controlling the volume, yet there is no good one out there. Too bad as I'm stuck with the 3.1 look on the default 6.5.5 package.
I find the default volume and timer feature useful for work, I use min volume at work and max when I listen music with headphones... but when I end listening I always forget to restore it to min and my boss gets mad... Volumex reminds me to switch to default (min) volume.
Btw it costs 8.90 not 10
why dont just asine a mini prog on the one of the hard keys, like volctrl.exe ie,got one uploaded look @ me pfile
