[Q] Volume Control - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for the best volume control solution for a Kindle Fire running CM7. Are there any solutions that allow me to change volume in-app?

Here you go:
https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.VolumeControl
This app, Volume Control, lets you slide your finger across the edge of the screen and it'll increase/decrease your volume no matter what app you're using.
Thanks

Perfect.

Awesome, this was exactly what
I was looking for. I downloaded the
devs Brightness Control app, so i have it on the left and volume on the right.

That would be perfect if you could put it over the status bar in the middle.

I think most of us who are running CM7/MIUI or ICS have been using Volume+ without issue. I don't think it makes the volume any louder, at least I haven't noticed. Definitely the preferred volume app for anyone running a custom ROM.

Volume+ is not the same as Volume Control.
Thanks,it works nice on my KF.
Hello, Would you mind sharing how you were able to sideload the app? I tried ES File Explorer and other file manager apps, but all prompted me to use the Kindle's package installer, which didn't do anything when I clicked the Install button.
Mine is rooted.
Thank you!
I use Equalizer App and it works better than any other I have tried for increasing volume on my phone and kindle fire. Works for all my games, music, movies, etc.

Volume Control is great for hiding a vol slider along top, bottom, or sides to change the volume.
Do NOT watch anime while boosting volume. Ive gone through 3 speakers on various devices doing exactly this. All that yelling is just too much for these little speakers lol

You can get volume + for the Fire for $1.44 usd from Amazon. It will save you about 20 cents.

I would rather spend the extra twenty cents on the Android market.Amazon doesn't give as nearly much kickback to the developer as Google does. Plus the Android market version will update way faster than the Amazon market version.
I use volume + on all of my devices and as long as you have it set properly so that the sound isn't crackling you should be fine. Once you hear any distortion it is time to turn the settings down because you don't want to destroy your speakers. Be safe with this Program!

or b: file expert. just enable root option.

Link notification and ringer

I've searched and tried several apps to link ringer and notification. I love TouchWiz, but this is the ONE thing that pushes me to a CM ROM. I don't want to have to open an app each time i want to change both options. I came from an Optimus V and a Thunderbolt after. Both were able to link Ringer/Notification volumes.
So, does anybody know if a "fix" has been round or at least a workaround?
Nobody even has a suggestion? i know somebody here has got to know something :fingers-crossed:

Apps allow linking the two but only if you change the volume from within the app. If you use the volume rocker the two stay unlinked. I'm looking for a way to permanently link the two to allow use of the volume rocker.

We'll pretend that other guy isn't here, since he's not helping you or me out.
I've brought this up before, I loved it on my X2 and hate that on this. Wonder if anyone who knows how to mod could make a mod for this.

[APP] Samsung LED Controller - Tasker

Hey Guys,
I have just released an app on the Google Play store.
It is a plugin for tasker so you can control your notification led
Free - Ad Free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.galaxys3ledcontroller
(this plugin only works for touchwiz roms)
I don't understand... Taker can control the LED on the s3 without this. What is this for?

Don't worry man, I get what you're saying. If I wanted to turn off all led's based on location or a time of day then this plugin makes it possible through tasker. All ya gotta do is read people.
Perfect. Just what I was looking for.
I like this app but its only for settings. Is there an app that forces LED to light up/blink using tasker? anyone have any ideas?
I love this app, but I have one request. It would be great if there was an option for "no change" in addition to ON/OFF. There may be times when I want power saving mode on, but not change the LED settings, or vice versa. Just as an example.

Yeah its already in tasker.
Create a new task go to add>Alert>Notify LED. Add a title and whatever else you wish, the title is mandatory though, set the color and rate, and any actions on the notification if you wish. Press play and shut off the screen and it should be lit up and blinking (select 1 if you want it to be set on).
It seems though it doesnt play well with touchwiz.. The blue light always overrides at least for messaging. I wanted to make it blink faster, but I did not succeed in what I tried. No big deal though. THe only reason I wont disable the touchwiz is that it is used for other things than just messaging and I do not want to have a notification I missed because I just wanted a light to blink faster.
Remove the notification to make the light go away. This only works on screen off though.
Need any more help let me know I have been using tasker for over a year now and have much experience with many features of it. PM me if you need to.
Thank you for the reply. I figured it out a few days ago but still thank you. Tasker is an awesome app. You really can get the most out of your phone with it.

Just what I was looking for. This is great!
Can someone post a step-by-step guide on how to set this up in Tasker? Much appreciated!
I can't get the Do Not Disturb to work as State on the S7. I use the %INTERRUPT variable but toggling DND does Nothing to the variable. Can you please help us set this up in Tasker?
Or does Tasker need updating?

Volume Levels

Hello all. I am the owner of a Motorola Droid MAXX as my signature can testify. It is easily the best smartphone I've owned but there are a small handful of questions. First one follows.
The volume rocker on the left seems to only control the ringer volume. To change the notifications or media volume I have to go to Settings > Sounds. This hasn't been true on all my previous Android phones. Why is this different? Is there an app that I can buy that will synchronize the volumes when I press the hardware buttons? Have others experienced this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sent via Motorola Droid MAXX
Mine's working just fine. Notification volume levels have been tied in with the ringer volume levels since ICS, if I'm not mistaken, and changing the volume in an app that's playing sounds affects the media volume on my end at least.
Mine is definitely not synchronized. Any idea how to fix it?
Sent via Motorola Droid MAXX
Mine is the same as the OP
Sent from my XT1080 using xda premium
Mine also has no option to synchronize that I can find.
I believe there are some apps that have widgets that let you see the volume on the home screen and quick click into the volume change setting. Ill have to go find one b/c its a pain in the butt to not know what level my notifications are at unless I go into settings.

That has done the trick for me. It survives reboots too. Well worth the $0.99.

Well this worked. Strange that it doesn't work right out of the box. Thanks for your help.

Mine is also not synchronized.
Its also hard to get adjusted to the vibrating mechanism in this phone. You will rarely hear it vibrate but you can sort of feel it if it's in your pocket.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
Weird, I tested it out and it looks like my notification volume isn't synchronized either even though all my other ICS/JB phones have been. As far as I'm aware it acts like it is though, I'm pretty sure my text notifications at least have been quieter or louder at different times. I wonder if I should let Motorola know or if it's something intentional?
Volume Control in the Play Store works and is free, but occasionally the ringer volume doesn't change the notification--even if linked--when using the volume rocker; but it works flawlessly if you open the icon and use the slider. But not bad for free.
Haven't tried the paid one linked above to compare them. Maybe after work when I have more time.

My RAZR MAXX has the same as op is referring to. I don't mind it. You have to be in the app to change its volume with the rocker.

I had this issue with my Bionic also. I don't know why they wouldn't have it synced.

Way to move nav buttons without root?

Does anyone know of an app or a way to move the nav buttons without root? All I want to do is swap the recent and back buttons since I'm right handed and it makes it so much easier one handed.

I swapped mine with this. Working great. You may need to grant permissions from a computer via adb. I don’t remember.
yup that's a great app. I also added a little power button on the right to shut the screen off with.
