Dynamic Volume Control Widgit? - General Questions and Answers

Should be a pretty simple one, is there currently a widgit available where you can change the volume from your home screen or within the status bar without having to open a seperate window? Also preferable if it's always accurate instead of having to update at set intervals - thanks

Great app man my volume buttons are not working on my tab and this is a very nice feature to have in status bar
Looks great
It looks like a very helpful app !
Currently what annoys me the most is the colors and general looks
It works perfectly on DesireHD MIUIv4. but the blending of the buttons with the status bar, is awful i think a little customization option will solve this out

Making the buttons white should do it

aw now im waiting for a 2.3 one >_>
Tested the white buttons versions
I can say that now it 'works' !
Screenshot attached, looks excellent !
Only thing i thought of was the volume 'scale' font color which i think is a bit to bright ...
Thanks a lot kevdliu !!
you have a great app, congratulations!
please, let me say a few suggestions:
- the option to enable/disable use of icons/images instead of buttons
- an icon on the left will be nice, maybe the "volume level number" can be there too (check the uploaded image, how it's look on my asus transformer with ICS)
- play a beep when changing volume
thanks for this, it's great (i hate using the hardware volume buttons)
Yeah nice! It's so annoying to use the hardware-buttons for volume.
Thanks man, gonna use this on my One X when it arrives hopefully soon...
one suggestion, from this configuration the application can only configure one volume at a time. how about making it a quick call for calling up volume slider like pressing the "V", so that can have quick access to all volume?

Is it difficult to press the volume level display on a tablet? I don't have a tablet so I'm asking to see if the mechanism can be improved
Thanks

no, works great
i don't use the last button, i only control the media volume, maybe an option to remove the last one or select which buttons to display (just an idea)
also, will be great to set white on the buttons text color (not the button color)
now i have gray buttons with black text, and the other option gives white buttons who looks worst (on ics roms)
as always, thanks for the app

it's currently not possible for third-party apps to put buttons in notifications on android 2.3. the mechanism will probably have to be different (less convenient)

Working nicely.
Though there are some feature i would like to request.
1. Can have a option not to display icon on notification bar?
2. Can make those buttons customizable?
Now there are 5 categories of volume level (media, notification, ring, in-call, system) and 4 type of option (mute, volume up, volume down, cycle), is it possible to interchange these total of 9 option into the available 4 slot in the drop down notification ? Just like homescreen dock where we can put any app in the app drawer into it, can make the 4 button slot customizable with these volume option?

the android system requires an icon on the status bar if a notification is to be displayed. i can make the icon transparent but then there will be just a blank space between icons.

FAQ
1) Can the GPS toggle be single click
instead of a shortcut to system
settings?
No. Direct GPS toggle is not possible
due to security restrictions on
android.
2) Where is the 4G toggle button or
the 2G toggle button?
There is an unified mobile data toggle
button, which should work for all
networks (2G/3G/4G). On some
mobiles Wimax toggle would also
work.
Simply add this toggle and change the
icon on the global settings screen. The
icon is only for the display purpose
and serve no functionality changes.
3) The flashlight is not working on my
device.
Flashlight is only supported on a
limited number of devices. I am not
able to support many devices as I
don’t have access to those.
4) Can the notification widget icon be
removed.
No. Current android API does not
support a notification without an icon.
You can instead use a transparent
icon or a battery icon.
5) The notification widget is pushed to
the bottom when a new notification
arrives.
Android currently does not support
adding a notification which is always
on the top. You can enable an
accessibility service which pushes the
widget on the top whenever a new
notification arrives.
On the main application screen, click
the pin icon in the notification section,
and enable the “Power Controls”
accessibility service to make the
widget pin to the top of the
notification area.
On Jelly Beans (4.1), you can set the
notification priority to the minimum
(in settings) to hie the icon, but then
the widget will no longer be always on
top.
6) Why does the app requires
CAMERA permission
This is required for the flashlight to
work.
7) I am unable to uninstall the app.U
Make sure that you have deactivated
the Device administration. Go
Settings > Security > Device Admins >
Power Controls > Deactivate.

SymetiumOS

i hired a freelancer recently to develop a launcher for me based on my symetiumos part of my symetium project www.facebook.com/symetium we used a service called upwork and suddenly he wanted me to pay through western union which is against upwork policies i said i wanted to use upwork so he begun making threats that he would sell my work and release the launcher himself unless i pay him 600 dollars on paypal whithin 2 days upwork specialists are escalating it, so now i am posting about it then again most of this of was already public to begin with ere is a full list of symetiumos and it's features, i wasn't sure on sharing it here as i have no idea what people would think about it as the os is very inconventional, the launcher is a small part of the os itself, do note that i update this list pretty often, i came up with these features myself but i wouldn't be suprised if alot of them already exist this is an operating system of android to turn android into a pc operating system this has been done many times but this is my take on it (i've worked on it for years way before remixos existed for example) for example the navigationbar method is gone unless you enable it, default it uses the same method a pc uses to close an app you press x to minimize you press minimize to resize you press resize, theres no back buttons on pc so why should phones have them? most apps also have their own back buttons now, this is as far away from android as possible as android is used as a base thats it, originally it was supposed to use linux until i realized a phone was able to handle everything i wanted in this os, i am having a rom made now of this os but so far i've heard nothing from that freelancer he gurantees he can do it and he keeps delaying saying he will show me later so i don't hold much hope there.

Code:
----------------------------------------------------------Symetium OS Features------------------------------------------------------
1.minimizing apps will make them appear at the side then fade/swipe away swipe to reveal the apps or move the cursor there
2.app Icons will Group under one Icon in the notifications bar (settings preference) (pressing the icon with a cursor will open the mousefriendly notificationdropdown)
if you swipe on the right side or move with the cursor Icons will appear each Icon is a category under Music goes Music files including Music apps it's a appdrawer/file Explorer/album viewer (swiping on these icons will reveal space for any icons you want) (these icons can also be at the bottom depending on preference or at the top)
3.pressing the settings Icon will show the settings menu and Tools related apps such as calculator etc
4.moving the cursor in the corner of the screen will reveal a circle pressing the circle will open a app drawer for mouseuse this appdrawer also has a searchbar for searching apps or even files, you can also set favorites to appear
5.when dragging down the dropdown menu the background will go blurry if set, all Icons are White and the text is White (as discussed the background can be adjusted through a setting such as blur strenght/transparancy or even a solid color (same applies for window borders) it can also be made to look like stock android if the user prefers.
6. you can enable to hide the NO SIMCARD Icon in the notificationsbar (see additional ideas for more information)
7.you can enable to hide the signalinformation unless it gets bad (not important to include, same applies for battery (see additional ideas for more information)
8.you can move apps around as windows, pushing the app at the top will snap it and maximize it once maximized the top border will show then go away (swipe to reveal it) just like when you play a game or look at a photo) dragging the app window to the bottom will make it red or fade, letting go of it will Close it
9. lockscreen has a Power and restart button, middle button on lockscreen is an arrow, pressing it will reveal set apps such as camera,flashlight etc (any app or button the user wants to add)
10.after inacitivity Everything will fade away leaving only the wallpaper i call this dynamic screensaver (not important to include)
11.another idea i had was adding the phone dialer inside the dropdown menu if you press the phone Icon same with things such as calculator or remote Control for tv
12.as mentiond add an option to revert to stock android in looks (without resetting files or the phone or anything) through an easy setting.
13.apps will run in the background like on a pc, if you have a youtube video playing and you minimize it will continue playing just like on a pc
14.when mhl/usb type c cable has been connected a dialog will pop up asking to select between two 3 modes 1.normal 2.pc mode 3.tv mode
15.add option to enable hotspot disconnect when not charging (hotspot will disable when the charger is removed to prevent draining) (dialog will show in notifications that hotspot is disabled to prevent powerdrain press to enable)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clarification of adjusting of transparancy,blur strenght,color for borders,notification dropdown menu (this does not apply for the notificationbar unless you can add an option to change each one individually such as notificationdropdown big and small,notificationbar,window borders, category appdrawer background)
transparency (slider)
blur strenght (slider)
color rgb slider and default preset colors
hide (will grey out the sliders)
autoset (this would change the color of all layers depending on wallpaper just like windows does IF POSSIBLE) (slider preferences won't be changed only the color) (this feature can be skipped)
--------------------------------------------------Not very important---------------------------------------------------
14.integrate internet radio based on any internet radio app such as tunein (this would be integrated in the notification dropdown menu when pressing the audio icon)
15.integrate music detection based on any app such as shazam (double tap volume button or press the volume button in the notification dropdown to open the audiomenu) and have a silent detection in the bakground to then notify of which song it is)
16.cursor will be blurry or transparent (option to adjust transparancy,blur strenght as the layers would be great but can be skipped)
17.password protection for turning off the device and for folders if set
18. seperate dpi settings for both mobile and desktop mode aswell as tv mode for example desktop mode is smaller than mobile mode (android n already has dpi settings) (if pc mode is selected then the phone will turn into a touchpad and a keyboard)(keyboard when needed and touchpad at all times)
------------------------------------------------More additional ideas for later ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. tv mode this would slightly change the ui for tvuse but this can be discussed later
2.when the phone detects usage (activity on the screen) it will display a message during a call rather than ring or vibrate (not important to include)
3.marking or holding on a file or an app on the desktop/homescreen will show a context menu automatically much like nova launcher does
move to (each category for the sidebar,documents,videos,music,tools etc etc)
remove
rename
when you physically move the file or the app the context menu will fade away
4.the keyboard will be transparent and can be moved around like any other window, same layer options apply (not important)
5.when the phone detects a bigger screen it will turn into a touchpad and keyboard (when needed) manually starting this would also work (not important and can be skipped)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 8: 6. pinning windows
lock icon in the top bar to freeze an app on the screen both in windowed or fullscreen, for example you can freeze a small movie playing in the corner and it will be like picture in picture ontop of everything, the app will not stay at the top in fullscreen to allow work ontop of the app, when pressing the lock in fullscreen control to the app will be lost the app itself will still be active, essentially turning it into a wallpaper,pressing the home/desktop button will not get rid of the app, dragging/pulling at the top or moving the cursor to the top will reveal buttons to unlock control of the app, in windowed, pressing inside the app will give back control of the app, pressing outside the app will remove control again until unlocked.
(UNCERTAIN IDEA: lock feature only works with the mouse cursor and will not show if a cursor isn't near it)
UNCERTAIN IDEA:settings menu to turn off smart windwow lock in desktop or mobile use this is useful for tablets where smart window lock is useful rather than on a smaller screen when smartlock in mobile is turned off it will only function in fullscreen mode meaning you can drag down the top bar press the lock to lock controls out of the app essentially making it the wallpaper.

Questions about virtual buttons and battery percentage

Hello.
I received the Google Pixel two days ago and I am having a hard time to find the setting for the percentage of the battery to appear and to change the positions of the virtual buttons (if this is possible at all).
I appreciate any help
swipe down on quick panel, hold gear icon for a few settings. You'll get a notification that system tuner has been enabled. You will see the system tuner near developer options at bottom in settings. From there its self explanatory.
Thanks. It works for percentage, but there is no way to change the position of the virtual buttons?
you just drag and drop them wherever you want
Hey there u can reverse the buttons I used this in on Verizon pixel. Worked great

Nougat and Tasker shortcuts to profiles in notification pull-down menu.

In Marshamallow I was able to pull down notification bar and I had there Tasker with three buttons to my preferred Profiles like "Home", "Work", "Car". So only move I had to do was pull down the notification bar and press preferred button to change profile. In nougat its much harder to do that - Have to pull down notification bar and then pull down again on tasker group to reveal my shortcuts to profiles. Is it possible to make these profiles to be available straight away without this second pull like it was in Marshmallow?
well, any luck with this?
