Hey everyone. I'm proud to announce that I am starting to create a set of applications that target focused functionality, and that aim to be free of bloat and unnecessary permissions. The first application in this series is called Volume Popup.
The goal of this application is to allow control of all core Android volumes (Media, Ringer, Notification, Alarm) from one clean interface. It uses a transparent background, so you can see what you were doing before you launched it. It should support any custom launchers and launch methods as well. In addition, it is specifically NOT a widget, so as to minimize resources needed and not require background processes.
Note that it does have 2 separate sliders for ringer/notification, which are locked together on 3.0+ (Honeycomb/ICS/JB), but allow separate adjustment under Gingerbread.
I would love your thoughts and feedback, and if you like the app, please leave a positive review. 5-stars are my favorite.

Known Bugs, Upcoming Features, FAQ, Other Thoughts
Known Bugs
None.
Upcoming Features
Several ideas, including a pro version with Tasker integration, allowing each change to trigger a Tasker event, or to allow the program to be launched via a Tasker Intent.
The application can detect volume keys being pressed and pop up at that time. Only downside is that this requires a background service. I'm looking into this now.
FAQ
A question must be asked more than once for it to be "frequent." Since nothing has been asked, this bullet is an existential quandary.
Other Thoughts
Crunchy peanut butter is significantly better than creamy. Discuss.
Thanks, does the app open up when you press volume +/- buttons?

For now, I had it just on app launch, but I can certainly do that. The only downside is that involves having a background service, which adds overhead to your device. This is something I have planned for very soon though for those who want it.
I think that if there was an option for a JB themed version (below as an example), and it could be controlled by the volume buttons I'd download this.

Understood. I'm looking into a version that hooks the volume keys now. Still learning to adapt the themes from one OS version to the next, so it was my intent for this to already have the Holo look, but it started getting messy, so I opted for simplicity in version 1.
nice idea, i like!

So new challenge - from what I have gathered, it's not possible for apps to hook volume keys when they are not active. So, in other words, a background service can't hook in to know you have pressed a volume key. This rather stinks, but I'm trying to see if there are any workarounds. If you're aware of another app that CAN do this, please send a link so I can reach out to the author.
I do agree with you, crunchy is better than smooth. But, there are times when smooth is easier to use. For example, in between crackers or for certain recipes...
Also, great app! Thanks for committing to both minimalism and quality!
I like :thumbup:

Used to use the app, but it got annoying after awhile. This developer also has other apps that hook the volume rocker (I think)

How do you compare with the android system volume setting? any more features?
Ask and ye shall receive. A holo theme is now automatically used on devices with Android 3.0+!

Same settings, but on the same screen with a non-intrusive interface. Also, working to get volume key integration, so it will pop up when you use a volume key anywhere.

I can do that, for certain. I'm already engaged with the suggested developer on how to integrate the volume key functionality, so let me get that sorted out first, then I can add more options for things like notifications, etc.
Quick update - still waiting to hear back from the developer with his sample code. Sorry for the delay; I am as frustrated as some of you.

After spending a summer doing field research, I have finally launched my side project noyze. It is a volume panel replacement for devices running Android Jelly Bean MR2 (4.3+) or newer.
Best of all, noyze does not require root, a custom ROM, or the XPosed framework.
Noyze gives you complete control of the volume buttons:
Themes - try out different styles and find the theme that works for you. Try iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone, status bar, and much more.
Long press actions - skip to the next/ previous song, launch the flashlight, or perform any shortcut simply by holding the volume buttons.
Contextual panel - Noyze can hide for fullscreen apps like YouTube, Netflix, etc.
Master volume - sync all volumes to a single channel.
Disable buttons - especially useful for broken or jammed volume buttons.
Several themes can also display album art/ media information and allow you to control multiple volumes without leaving the current app (like CyanogenMod's Extended Controls).
Thanks for reading and looking forward to feedback!

This looks pretty sweet. Installing now.
Since the update to Aspen v1.3 on Sept. 24 it keeps asking for notification access though it's already been granted and some bug with the accessibility service keeps resulting in not being able to touch anything on the screen requiring a reboot.
Thanks!
Android 4.2?
Hey. This app is *exactly* what I'm looking for. But I'm stuck on Android 4.2.2 and can't upgrade. Any chance you can extend support to 4.2? Thanks!
Been using this for a while and love it - bought pro almost immediately No issues for me, but there are two things I'd like to see if possible/you're so inclined: orientation switch on buttons and the ability to have a theme per app, or someway to pop up media buttons only when a media app is running. I like the status bar theme for the most part, bit the Heads Up one is perfect when listening to music.
Regardless of whether these are implemented, it's a keeper for me - thank you very much dev.
Looks nice, will try for sure. By the way, add whitespace between screenshots in OP post, it looks confusing.
Please make it like an Xposed Module
and add more animations
Like Windows Phone volume panel. it isnt animated and have no option to customize, I wish it could be a bit transparent and the art album when playing music more vivid

Is it possible to choose another volume panel for fullscreen apps? I want to use a compact one for fullscreen apps and normal for other activities.
uh! such a huge size?
great little app!
there's an "issue" with Chromecast while casting: Chromecast adds an extra volume panel with Chromecast icon which doesn't show when using Noyze (unless i missed a certain setting for it). it still adjusts the volume though, just shows the headset volume panel.
All looks fine and dandy, but for the sake of my vol buttons that do wear down, would you consider functional sliders? I mean controlling the volume from the panel that shows up?
What would make it awesome would be to also add a shortcut to trigger the volume panel to appear, and control the volume from there
It's a very nice looking app, would be a shame if it wouldn't be matched by productivity
Is it possible to get a link without Playstore?
Question: is there a way to skip tracks (long pressing volume buttons) while screen is off? It works when the device is unlocked.
is there any way to get this apk now? its been pulled from play store and has stopped development completely. the links on the main website are also dead it looks like.

A Blessing for those who use Lollipop
After trying (and discarding) at least 75 apps that claimed to control the volume on the lockscreen, I finally found Tom's Noyze. All I had to do was tell the app to disable the volume rocker on the lockscreen (which, frankly, should have been an option in Lollipop's Settings and I fling camel dung at Lollipop's developers for this omission) and *Presto*; problem resolved.
Bless you, Tom. You should have received my PayPal donation by the time you read this.

Previously I was able to open up the volume panel by setting up a shortcut to Noyze on the Navigation ring (Cyanogenmod 12 Latest Nightly) but now It opens Noyze (the app) instead. Is there any way so that Noyze opens ups the volume panel instead of the app itself or is there any other app that could act as a shortcut to the volume panel?
Its small panel similar to the Android Volume control panel.
It’s very useful in case of:
1. Volume button stops working.
2. Case/Flip Cover that hinders pressing Volume button
3. for friends like me, I always want to avoid pressing physical phone button to saving volume button from tearing off
and its Free & No Ads
Volume Button is exactly the same as Android Volume Panel.
1. Adjust Ringer Volume, System Volume, Media Volume, Notification Volume &In Call Volume
2. With the White Background and dark volume controls, visibility in sunlight are high.
3. Access any time without closing app. as its have optional Permanent Notification option.
4. Consumes NO battery at all
So light simple and easy to control different volume.
White - Holo theme following Android designs and without any complexity & minimal Images. Its fast & smooth.

very nice app but it doesn't seem to be what i'm looking for, in fact i'm sure there is a volume app that will do what i want...
what i want is a simply slider that will stay on my home screen, something that doesn't require me to first tap an icon for it to appear.. i tired one app (widget) that placed a +/- volume control on the home screen but it was responsive enough... in short i would just like something like the stock slider to reside on my home screen (not an icon that opens a slider or something that requires me to slide open the notification panel), does such an animal exist? thanks!
Thanks for the reply

I am not sure whether any app do that,
i know few app those have widgets but again you have to tap once to get the slider for adjusting volume levels.
there is one app that allows adding sliders to notification panel, but again for that you have to swipe down the Notification bar.
Thank you,

[APP][4.3+] SoundHUD - Customizable volume panel & Lollipop silent mode fix (no root)
Hi,
I've just released SoundHUD, a highly customizable volume panel replacement that doesn't require root access. It also comes with a true silent mode for Lollipop users!
Some Screenshots:

}
Download
Google Play (and attached to this post)
Some of the features:
Multiple styles (expandable volume panel, statusbar volume panel, or just a thin line that stays out of your way)
Lollipop silent mode (silence calls, notifications, and reminders, but not alarms)
Long press actions (launch any app by long-pressing one of the volume buttons)
No root required (works without root and Xposed)
Volume stream lock (useful for media tablets, locks the volume keys to a specific volume stream, e.g. music)
Beta updates
I created a Google+ community for beta-updates and bug reports.
The app is based on Noyze by Tom Barrasso, which is no longer under development
Please let me know what you think! I would really appreciate your feedback regarding possible improvements and bugs!
This looks great, thanks!
Seems to work well. Is it possible to adjust volume by holding the button instead of clicking it multiple times?
i like this app!its amazing

Thanks for the feedback, Nico! Lollipop automatically suppresses the notification LED (and wear notifications) in silent mode, I'm currently trying to implement a "custom" silent mode, which would let the LED/wear notifications continue to work!

Thanks, GTvert90! Holding down the volume button is currently conflicting with the "long-press to launch app-shortcut"-feature, but I'm working on a fix for this (if no long-press actions are defined, a long-press should adjust the volume).

Not working on OnePlus One also. It the same behavior described in the last two posts.

A feature I miss is long press to change volume just as the stock one...

@niko001 Is there any way so that SoundHUD opens ups the volume panel instead of the app itself or is there any other app that could act as a shortcut to the volume panel?

Hi xinseo,
yes, this is currently possible. Please long-tap on a free area of your homesceeen, select "Add shortcut" and choose "SoundHUD". Instead of opening the app, this shortcut will now directly show the volume panel.
Thanks!
Interesting app.
I have a couple of questions/suggestions :
The link ringtone and notification is not working. It just shows a single slider for ringtone but behind the two channels are not really linked.
At the first press on the volume button it just brings out the volume panel.It would be nice if at the first press it would actually move the sliders and show the panel at the same time..
Pressing the volume continually should change the volume. Instead you have to press multiple times to change the volume.
Tested on a Samsung S4 with Samsung Lollipop and GPE.
Update: Version Alpha 1.2 is now up on Google Play Store as well as in the attachments!

Hello XDA community!
This is my newest (and smallest) App, at 75.4 KB, Volume Scroll lets you scroll through pages on almost any App using your Volume Rocker. And yes, you read the title of the thread right, it requires NO root permission.
Once activated, scroll a tiny bit of the content you want to be scrolled using Volume Rocker. Pressing either of the volume keys will make a paginated scrolling (jumps to new content, flips a page - however you may like to understand.)
This will feel very natural and immersive, especially when you want to consume a really long article on Google Chrome or an endless feed of Facebook, Instagram and many more applications.
What happens to adjusting volume? Well, a long press on either of the Volume keys will activate the default behavior (bringing volume control panel on screen.) Neat?
In addition to scrolling through Volume Rocker, there is an optional onscreen buttons as well. The onscreen buttons will appear when there is a scrollable content available on screen, and if no action is taken on the button, they fade within 2 seconds - and appear back, if you manually scroll some content.
So far, the App works on all popular chatting Apps, Social Media Apps, GMail, Google Chrome, etc. However, don't be surprised if it doesn't work on your pdfs or some 3rd party browsers - that will be due to technical limitation.
Below is a demo of the onscreen buttons, if somebody can make a short demo video of the Volume Rockers in action, it would be great! Also note that, the below demo features auto scrolling which is NOT included in this initial alpha version.
The Alpha_1 version is available at the attachments, Play Store and XDA Labs. This version of the App is Ad-free, there will be a lot of more features in future depending on how the App is received, like:
✓ Auto Scrolling pages with onscreen buttons as well as Volume Rocker
✓ Configure time gap for auto scrolling.
✓ Ability to move around onscreen buttons
✓ Configure how you want Volume Rocker to behave - Single press, long press, double press.
✓ Blacklist/Whitelist Apps on which the App should function.
Mention which feature you look forward to, in your review of the App.
Download now from Google Play Store!
The main purpose of this early release to the community members here is to get some feedback. So, if you try the App, please do let me know your experience, suggestions. Cheers!
Note: The App uses Accessibility permissions - that are an absolute requirement for the magical linking between your Volume Rocker and scrolling. If you don't feel comfortable with the permissions please do not use the App. That being said, I have a couple of other Apps developed which are downloaded and trusted by couple of 100,000+ users (point in case - Energy Bar), none of the Apps have any hidden motive.

What's new?
Version Alpha_1.2:
HOTFIX for screen turning off - when you use only volume keys for scrolling, the device was assumed to be idle - it's now fixed.
*reserved 2*
Is there any way to move the on screen control to the right of the screen?
It's a very cool idea but I really think that paginated scrolling isn't the best implementation, it would be better if I could choose to set single press to activate volume controls, but a long press would scroll a page smoothly similar to a mouse wheel. This would've been awesome, unless there is an unavoidable limitation to doing that.
Also if you could add a blacklist, for those apps you don't want this feature to work in.

Hi! A smooth scroll isn't possible due to technical limitation. Volume Rocker behavior configuration, whitelist/blacklist options will be available soon.

Its not working in Opera Mini browser. I don't think it can be made to work in it? And yes a blacklist or per-app setting will be much appreciated.
I often have to swipe the screen up and down quite often to get the app to respond. Maybe activating the volume button scrolling option by holding down the buttons could be a better solution? Then we also don't have to always long click the buttons to change the volume or to use the Gboard key cursor control.
Damn, I was really hoping that this would work but I've been unable to get the volume scroll or on-screen scroll to work on a Yotaphone 2 (android 5.0). The device has an epaper screen and smooth scroll is just not suited to this type of screen.
Hi there, do you continue your work with this app? I have a oneplus 3 with oreo. Can not get your app to work. But I am looking for this feature. Your description sounds very good. Please continue developing

INTERACTIVE WIDGETS
Android P Volume Slider Widgets are very similar of Volume Toggles in Notification bar and provide the same functions.
Install it from the market, then install manually the widget to the desired location of the desktop in standard way for your device:
✔ Long touch on your home screen or click the menu button;
✔ Choose "Add";
✔ Click on "Widgets";
✔ Choose the Android P Volume Slider Widget.
If Widget is not in the widgets list:
✔ Make sure that it's installed into internal memory! Widgets do not work from SD card;
✔ Restart your system.
PERMISSIONS
Please note that the following permissions are required to use the app (the function/reasons are provided in brackets):
✔ Do Not Disturb Permission(Android 7+ devices require this permission to change the volume level to 0 or increase it from 0)
✔ System Overlay Permission(Floating Volume Control panel runs on top of any running apps and it require this permission)
✔ Run at startup (restore settings after startup)
NOTE: Starting from Android version 4.1.x (Jelly Bean) in the standard firmware channels "System", "Alert" and "Ringer" are tied.
They can not be set separately. This is not the reason to blame the app.
At the same time, in some versions of firmware (e.g. in Samsung), these channels are NOT tied. Therefore the App have the opportunity to display and to adjust them separately, if possible.

Me too
I don't think this app can capture / override the system volume buttons.. it only seems to work through the through the homescreen or notification widget.
I hit the refund button in the play store, but will definitely be back if it can do this on a stock samsung s7 edge!
That will need accessibility service access and background service running all the time in background, which we want to avoid. so right now this will not work.
may be if we get more such request, we will add such option for advance user, where user will have choice to start background service.

Thanks for the porting, great feature. When it'll respond to hardware buttons too, I'll install it again
