Using Froyo, the volume hard buttons on my Nook color are hardcoded to Back and Menu functions. I have looking for a way to add full-time volume softkeys OR find a way to make long presses on the volume buttons change the volume. Another option would be to have volume controls in the notification bar and keep the bar open all the time.
Button Savior has the ability to have full-time softkeys, but nothing for volume (that I know of).
Any ideas?
You could use ClutchPad for this. There's just one item on the screen, but you could set swipe up to be volume up and swipe down to be volume down.
Thank you. I got it to work, but it's a little slow and the up/down swipes are a little difficult to perform correctly. I don't know why it's slow to access the volume controls, but I think the swipe difficulty may be due to the Nook's screen edge sensitivity. Overall, though, I'm very happy to finally have a solution. Thanks again.

Is there anyway to change the volume display, or decrease the amount of time it stays on the screen?
When I change the volume in the middle of a call, or game, or whatever... the volume display stays on the screen for what seems like an eternity. There's also no easy way to get rid of it. Hitting the back button takes you back from wherever you were... not just back from the volume display. I find it very annoying.
(I did a search for this topic and didn't find anything... if this has already been discussed, than sorry for the extra thread...)
Thanks-
Maybe it's a solution to hit anyplace on the screen where no button or volume slider is (standard the grey area) it shuts down the volume display only so you'll return to the place where you pushed the volume button
That was waayyy too easy!
Thanks-
Personally I don't like the HTC volume control, or the System Status screen, I prefer the to have WM deal with them, and just give me the bubble with volume sliders/comm panel links...
You can disable the system screen through the TouchFlo settings in Start > Settings > System > TouchFlo but you need a cab file to remove the volume control, I have it as "Remove-Htcvolume-by-HellengreeN.cab, I'm not sure where I found it.
It's a little glitchy when changing volume in a full screen app, as the bubble/volume bars are drawn "through" the full screen app, but you can see what's going on and it negates the need to use the stylus at all.
1. Pressing the Volume Up/Down button once will have the Volume Slider appear. Pressing it twice will have it appear, but muted. Is this built-in?
2. Sometimes when I soft key something, especially in messages, the resulting menu will auto-scroll down to the bottom. Why?
Ad.1 In my Vario it changes gradually, even if I press very quickly two times down it just moves 2 times down on a scale.
Ad.2 I've noticed that it happens when I press the soft-key quite long, probably the device already swiches to next menu and then 'thinks' it's a second press - because on the 2nd menu usually in the same place is an arrow that allows you to scroll down.
My question is - in portrait mode i have problems pressing left/right on the phone, the same in landscape mode - up/down. rotating the touchpad works great and moving up/down in portrait / left/right in landscape.
Is this a common problem? Or maybe it's not possible at all?
Normally I use the keyboard's left and right, but if I use the pad's it works fine as well... what exactly is the issue?

I can see something similar:
pressing the Volume Up/Down brings up the volume screen (system/ring in normal mode or the in-call one during calls), and a second press hides it!
No chance to change the volume without touching the screen
seems to be fixes with S2U2 1.36 and these settings
What if holding down the vol + button zoomed in. And holding - zoomed out. That way we would never have to worry about missing the soft key or messin up gestures. The way I hold my fone, the vol keys are super accessible too.
Just a thought.

i like this idea .. another thing i would love is to actually be able to disengage the volume buttons altogether .. annoying to be in the middle of something and bump them accidently .. i'd rather take the long way thru the menu to change my volume .. perfect spot for a zoom tho
Yeah that would be cool.
I mean who really uses the volume rocker in the browser anyway?
I don't remember the last time I did.
The next JF should include all these different options for zooming in the settings.
Also an option to get rid of the soft zoom keys could be nice since sometimes they get in the way when multitouch zooming.
I'm agree, i pretty much never want to adjust my ringer volume, in fact, it annoys me that I'm always accidentally doing it and missing calls. would be nice to have the rocker be zoom in maps and browser, and only in call volume and media player volume when you are in those apps.
Yeah, the volume control app is great and because of it I never use the rocker.
So lets make happen! (directed towards JF)
really love the volume control over the browser. even my wife likes the idea
Hello guys!
Is there any way to scroll pages on my samsung galaxy s3 (cyanogen 4.2.2) using volume up/down buttons on my headset?
I have several readers which support scrolling(next page/previous page) via volume up/down buttons on the phone.
I installed Headset Droid app and tried to change my middle button to be volume up button(I am going to purchase two buttons headphones soon) but it doesnt work in readers. Instead of changing page in my reader, button changes the sound.
Probably there is a way to remap my middle button and volume button this way: volume button on my phone to be middle button on my headset and my middle button to be volume up button on my phone. I mean is there any program to remap and change places of buttons?
Sorry for bad explanation, but I hope you understood me.
P.S. So as you can see all I need is to control any reader without touching my phone screen. I will be honest: it could save my ass on exams I'd be glad for any help and could pay for it if you allow me(paypal, sorry but have no bitcoins((((
P.S. 2 Thank You!
!!!
SOLUTION
All you need is a pro version of Moon+ Reader: open the book, go settings, control settings(dont know right translation)) then headset button. (choose what you need)
Anyone know if there's a way to make the home button only work with a hard press? I'm not referring to unlocking the phone or turning on the screen, I'm asking about when using the phone or an app and wanting to press the home key, I would like the ability to disable a simple tap and make it feel more like a button by utilizing the pressure sensor. Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance
Look in Settings, Screen, Navigation bar, Home button sensitivity.

Try this-
set/display/navigation bar/Home button sensitivity
Sensitivity can only do so much, I have it on minimum for purely comfort, because it's much more effortless to unlock your phone when the tap doesn't have to be so intense. And if I really am force-pressing on the button area at any force, I am trying to unlock the phone, so I don't really see a point in having to press it with a lot of effort.
But I've found out that the button is very largely hardware-based, since it works and vibrates even when changing themes, when things like system UI are not active, and normal nav buttons and status bar are gone. So I doubt that any sort of third-party development will be done for it without root access, since the hard press function seems to work as a real button press, and not a virtual press.
