[Q] new rom changed ringtone volume control with volume up/down key - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have xperia x10 mini pro (the old one) and I recently installed android 2.3 - this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15292943 "SonyBread V8 (based on MiniCM7)" my phone says.
Now before I did that, my volume up/down buttons changed ringtone volume from nothing, trough vibrations only to vibration and some sound level.
Now I can't turn volume down to nothing. It just stops on Vibrations only and it seems like it lacks the total quiet state without vibrations.
I don't know, where are settings for that, if I can change it via setting, or app or widget or if it's somewhere deep in system but I personally hate it.

Ok, I managed to find that this isn't a bug, it's a feature of newer Android and it looks like it cannot be changed via app/widget but trough android framework... how uncool is that.

Volume rocker behavior

Hi, just started getting odd behavior from my volume rocker:
The default volume changed is the 'main' volume control (the one with the phone icon) . Sometimes, however, the default changes to the 'app' volume (for want of a better description) (the one with the speaker icon).
This is with the phone on the home screen and I don't think I'm doing anything to make it happen.
The only way I can get the volume default back to the main control is to reboot the phone.
I'm using a Chinese version phone running slimkat with ak kernal and using the expandable volume control.
Can I stop this from happening?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,

[Q] Bluetooth Headset - more Volume Steps

Hey,
I bought a Sony SBH20 to listen to music without having the annoying cable on my phone.
The Problem is, there are only 7 Volume Steps for the Bluetooth Device (Hardware Buttons of the Headset also control the Android Volume).
So I want to find a way to controll the Volume finer.
I tried:
- Increase number of steps with the XPosed module VolumeSteps+. Problem ist that also I have more steps now, only at 7 points the Volume realy changes. So I have no improvement here.
- The App "Fine Volume Controll V2.0" which can controll the Volume in 1% steps. Problem here is that I can only change the Volume in the app, but not with the Hardware Buttons of Headset or Smartphone (when the phone is locked).
So, any ideas for that?
My Phone is a rooted Sony Xperia Z2 with Android 4.4.4 and Xposed Framework installed.
I don't have this Problem with my old Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod (also Android 4.4.4) which has more steps for the Bluetooth Device. So I think the Problem belongs to Sony customizations of Android.
So is there any way to get finer Volume controll?

No root - volume buttons control Ringtone/Notification volume instead of Media.

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!

Volume control on Pie

I've noticed that on the new release on Pie - when I manually turn the phone down, it just turns down the 'media' volume and not the ring tone volume, I need to actually go in a also turn that one down.
Am I missing something? Didn't it used to default to turning both media and ringtone down? Is there a way of making both come down or at least default to ring tone?
It's a new Pie settings.. It works like this... You need to click the settings icon in volume panel to open audio settings and change whatever you want
