[Q] Quick Settings - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if theres anyway to add features to the quick settings on honeycomb (the lower right button thing). I remember stock there was the option to control the volume on there, but now that im running tiamat theres none now. I really liked having the volume control there so i dont wear out the volume buttons. Is there anyway to add that back on?

I have used Xoom with stock Android 3.0.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1 and i have never seen a volume control there.
Only slider there is for display brightness control.

REALLY???
This is bad guys this is bad...i must be remembering things that weren't there...

You can change the volume by hitting one of the volume buttons. Then drag the volume slider that pops up.

Im pretty sure you would have to modify framework. Is it possible? I dont know. Widgets i think are more possible and are in use on Moray Rom I think (I havent flashed to it)

ROMS with certain features

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this, and I don't even know if this is the roms responsibility. Is there a feature on any of the roms, or an app, available that would change how to silence notifications. Right now I have to hit the power button, unlock the screen, and slide down the notification bar. Would it be possible to just hit the power button or the volume down for example?

I think this is standard in 2.2, I think i remember being able to silence any sound by hitting any button while it was locked, in 2.1 It would be nice if this were possible but I'm thinking the chances are low. At this point they are working on the Ultimate rom, which will put recovery/download options in the power off screen - but I don't think it would be as easy to try and find the code you're referring to.

[Q] Anyway to set Ringtone/Notification volume the same?

On my last phone it had the option to make it so you can have them at the same volume, so hitting the volume rocker would set them both. Was wondering if theirs anyway to do that on this phone, the current way of setting it is kinda tedious.

Ive already asked that once somewhere else i think an never got a responce, but id like to know that as well. Its dumb to not have the option to tie them together in one slider!
While adjusting your volume, click the icon beside the slider.
You will now have 3 sliders. One for ring, media and notifications.

Need "patch" for ICS/JB to wake phone with volume rocker

So, apparently, you can no longer set your volume rocker to wake the phone. I inherited a buddies bricked Nexus S (submerged under water and then he tried a reboot.) After testing my skills as a modder, I finally ressurected the phone, but the volume button is in-op. Anyone out there wanna make a patch to fix my issue?????????????? I tried market apps.but they just don't do it for me. PM me if you are up to the task.
Peaces.
Nothing? OK, so does anyone know a good app that will let me do this? I tried one that used the proximity sensor, but it was annoying. I am having trouble finding an app that will let me either use the volume rocker to wake the phone (with no annoying message and go right to the unlock screen) or an app that will let me reconfigure my hard keys.

CM10 rom and many other roms include this. Called volume rocker wake and straight in the options.
judging from the title, perhaps you prefer to keep as stock as possible? if so, there is a rom that has volume rocker wake while keeping minimum mods.

[Q] Porting CM10 Volume Rocker Music Control to another ROM

Morning everyone,
I've asked something like this before, but never got an answer seeing as, at the time, this device was a fledgling in the custom ROM world. Now that we've got so many different flavors and features, I'll post my query again.
With the CM10 ROM, we can now use our volume rocker as music control when the screen is off. That was a key selling point to me, seeing as its easier for me to just press my pocket than to pull the phone (with Otterbox Defender) and change the track on-screen. One thing that I dislike about it, however, is the broken wi-fi hotspot and tethering, along with a few other things that aren't functioning. I've scoured the interweb trying to find out what files I would need to pull and how to compile them into an existing non-CM ROM so that I could have the full functionality of the ROM with the added bonus of the Volume Rocker Controls.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction so I could hop on this? I'd think that the community would like a little .zip package to make this function with all ROMs, if it's even doable.
Thanks for reading.
i had tried my hand at this before, but couldnt find a way to remap volume keys to change tracks.. yet.. but what i did was remapped my volume keys to wake the screen when its locked... and let my camera hard key to skip tracks.. its quite handy when u want to just skip to the next track..
it involves compiling and decompiling the android.policy.jar, so if youre interested i can help you out..
also before all this, theres one app which worked fine on my A2, Tactile Player, it can skip songs both ways and also play/pause the songs via the power key.
it works fine, but theres always this icon in the status bar when the app is on.. you can double press the volume keys, up key for next and down key for previous.. its definitely worth trying.. you can find the app in Playstore, i was using the free version..
Edit: The paid version lets you get rid of the status bar notification and also adds a widget to the homescreen to toggle the app on/off.

[Q] Volume control

Hey all,
I am coming from an EVO 3D which had CyanogenMod 10 with JB 4.2. When I pressed either of the volume rockers, the volume bar would pop up with the option to change all 3 volume settings, ringer/media/alarm.
On my nexus 5, I had to set up a shortcut for Sound Settings in order to change all 3 volumes. Am I missing a shortcut or easier way to adjust all 3 volumes? When I currently press the volume rocker, it only lets me change the volume for the ringer (or media if I'm playing music/games).
Thanks!
In the Settings hit Sound and then Volumes.

Try actually reading the OP before you reply next time.
I really miss this option as well. I know some custom roms on my GS3 used to have an option make that sound bar expandable or always expanded.

Actually, shaneledford understood exactly what I was asking. I was just asking to see if there was a way to enable this volume setting.
Too bad Google didn't catch on to this neat little shortcut.
This issue drives me up the wall. Anyone knows a way to quickly adjust volumes without digging through the settings I would greatly appreciated.
