Hey. I'm looking for a volume control application that would basically let me control the volume of individual applications.
Reason I'm asking for this is due to the fact I use a GPS navigation application and Winamp at the same time while driving. I'd like Winamp's volume to be slightly lower than the navigation application so I can hear the given directions better. Thanks.

Hi,
I had a Qtek S100 and I always used GSplayer as my mp3 player. Now I own a Touch, and since the touch has far less hardware buttons I switched to Mortplayer. Mainly because of the volume slider which you should be able to use to control the volume of the player instead of the system volume.
Now, this doesn't work. if I use the volume slider, the volume of the player moves 1 bit, and right after that the systems volume slider comes over the top and takes over.
Furthermore, I can't assign the camera button. When I assign it to toggle the screen on/off, it just opens the Camera.
Does someone know how I can make this work? And how do you guys use your Touch as a mp3 player?
So when I'm using Google maps app for navigation with speaker directions, I can't seem to change the volume of the directions. I can see the volume slider go up or down, but it has no affect on the navigation. Anyone noticed this or know what i'm missing?

Google Maps voice is mixed into the media channel and not the notification channel. If you want to use the volume control buttons you have to change it while the voice is speaking. Otherwise, you have to go into Settings -> Sound -> Volumes and change the media volume (top volume bar).

One thing I loved about Cyanogenmod was the expanded volume control indicator.
Hey all!
Been a while since I posted, but I just got an LG Volt as a spare phone to use as a GPS/Speedometer/Music Player to mount on my motorcycle.
The one huge gripe I have is that the volume rocker controls the Alarm volume when I'm running Ulysses Speedometer Pro app for monitoring my speed on my street legal dirt bike. Even when I have music playing (installed some headphones inside my helmet, while the speedometer app is in the foreground the volume rocker controls the alarm volume instead of the media volume. I'm running a stock debloated ROM (android 4.4.2)which does have the expandable volume on-screen button, but when I'm riding my bike on the road and want to adjust the volume on the fly, it's really not safe and distracting for me to try to tap the button, then slide the slider up or down.
-I tried installing GravityBox with Xposed, and the "Force Media Volume Control" doesn't seem to work. I know I installed correctly because if I check the box for "Volume keys skip track", it works when I test it.
Is it just hit or miss with regards to all the features of gravitybox working? Does anyone know another workaround?
I have a phone with very customized ROM (Flyme) and I'm trying to find a way to force volume buttons to control Ringtone/Notification volume instead of Media volume.
I know there is a way to perform this, thanks to an Xposed module, but my phone can't be rooted. Can it be done without root and without one of those many volume controlling apps that show a widget or a persistent notification with different profiles? I just need to press hardware buttons to control those volumes.
[If you ask me why I need this is because ROM devs are stupid (at least Flyme devs, but I know Oreo "benefits" from this great feature) and didn't think that Media volume should change only if some Media is playing. If no Media is playing, why someone would need to change Media volume? I thought these are smartphones, not dumbphones and I was expecting to do smart things, like detecting when Media is playing and changing the volume accordingly. I guess I was wrong...]
You can get noyze volume panel that works with accessibility controls, you can fins the app on github or google noyze volume panel (no root required), it has extended panel in options which makes sense for android as even pie has the worse volume controls than kitkat.

Thanks a lot, it works as needed!
I'm getting desperate about the notification volume thing. I'm using volume butler but it's not reliable, especially when switching to DND mode and back. Sometimes my ringtone is very soft while the notifications are really loud.
Looking for a final fix for this, my phone is rooted. Is there some build.prop that can be enabled or a magisk mod?
Hello, you can use Button Mapper here in XDA.
You have the option to use ringtone volume instead of media volume with the + - button.
You can also make applications exceptions. I use that with play music while I use Chromecast.
That's work without root.
Regards.
I used Tasker and set up tasks that sets levels for everything in four different volume conditions... Vibrate, Low, Medium and High. Within each task, I set Alarm Volume, Media Volume, Notification Volume and Ringer Volume. I also created a pop-up to tell me what profile I just set.
Then, I created individual widgets on the screen that are simply shortcuts to the tasks - one for each volume condition. Tasker comes with that widget built in. When I want to change the volume on my phone, I just tap the icon for the volume I want.
It doesn't override DND and it sets the volumes exactly as you want them every time.
