Hi all,
I have just gone from a Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus running Gingerbread 2.3.6 to a new Moto G running Android 4.3 JellyBean.
I am disappointed with some of the features that I have lost from Gingerbread but I am not sure how much of this was Samsung TouchWiz features or general Android? Examples:
1: Swipe to call
- Samsung (Gingerbread) behaviour: Tapping once on a contact goes into contact details, swiping right on a contact calls them, swiping left messages them
- Moto G (ICS) behaviour: Tapping once on a contact calls them instantly, swiping left/right does nothing and changes screen area
Comments: I find the Moto G annoying as I am accidentally calling people when I tap on a contact to reset my finger position on the screen, rather than it simply go into the contact.
2: Volume / Sound Control
- Samsung (Gingerbread) behaviour: There are 4 volume sliders for:
Incoming Call
Media
System
Notification
- Moto G (ICS) behaviour: There are 3 volume sliders for:
Music, video, games & other media
Ringtone and notifications
Alarms
Comments: This is a big backward step to me. The notifications and ringtone volume are now linked so we can not set these individually. Why? Also, are system sounds the same as alarms?
3: Default email app
- Samsung (Gingerbread) behaviour: One can select the FROM field to be from any email account setup so you can reply to mail in one account but said the from field to be from your other account.
- Moto G (ICS) behaviour: This is not possible on the default email app I do not think.
4: Out of the box toggle switches
*I may not be calling this the right thing*
- Samsung (Gingerbread) behaviour: Has the options for wifi, bluetooth, gps, silent mode, auto rotation
- Moto G (ICS) behaviour: Has options for wifi and bluetooth. Other options have to be access via long press on power button and GPS I think is not able to be explicitly controlled anymore?
Comments: I think the app "power toggles" is powerful and can have options for various things to fix this.
Any thoughts?
I'm afrarid all the features you pointed out are all credit to TouchWiz which i liked them,
but you know,aosp is just that simple.

I Guess u are right about the volumes I Agree

Those are not Android features, they are Samsung customizations. I too miss them though, but getting rid all of the Samsung crapware is worth enough not to miss them too much.

They are linked by default, but in the sound settings you can unlink them and set the volumes separately.

I can see no way on my Moto G to do this. To confirm I mean to make this list:

No option there for that. There is just the 3 sliders as above and no other options.

Gravitybox has settings that let you unlink ringtone and notification sounds.
In order to get gravitybox you need to be rooted and have the xposed framework installed. Then once you're inside the xposed app you can find gravitybox under the downloads section.
Then once you're in the gravitybox app you simply go to media tweaks and check the "unlink ringtone and notification sounds" box.
Xposed framework thread
Edit: Gravitybox also let's you customise power toggles in the status bar.

I agree with the Power Toggles app - it is awesome and allows for so much customisation. I wish I had discovered this three years ago! Instead I discovered it just last night
I also noticed that the default email app on Moto G lacks the ability to pinch to zoom. My messages are being formatted in a way that it seems they are slightly too zoomed in. On my old mobile I used to be able to just pinch zoom together a little to make this ok but this Moto G you cannot do this. I downloaded and tried K9 mail client and this is better and seems to allow zooming and formats message better. But...K9 notifications do not work on this phone. I just want to get it to a level where my basic stuff is working as it did before.
On android 4.4 the email client should be updated to which it can do all the things that are able to be done on the gmail app from the play store and hopefully this should bring some additional features. You might want to try the play store for a third party one if you require it.

Definitely agree with the swipe to call I too have called numbers by accident when I didn't want to.

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:
Thx

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.

Heads up, your video tutorial is private on youtube. I've tried in app and through play store, might want to fix that ☺
Edit - and through this post now, haha
I'm gonna try it out but your video is "PRIVATE: even in the play store
Can't access video, so my question is when we press floating notification does it open in floating window (rom/xposed)?

Nice work. Already got the pro key and been using it since first day. Initial feedback:
Interactions while on homescreen is a must.
Gmail needs read/archive/delete, hell, maybe even reply within the pop up
Same for whatsapp messages
Same for hangouts messages
Actually same for all apps where interactions are possible (mark as read, archive, delete, reply, save,...)
Better icon for Status Bar ?
Anyway it's a nice start and I was more than happy to pay. Keep coding man ?

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.

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?
[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).

I also have this behavior on Xperia M with lollipop.
Not working on OnePlus One also. It the same behavior described in the last two posts.
Great app! I've been looking for something like this. Really glad that it doesn't even need xposed!
A feature I miss is long press to change volume just as the stock one...
Bug: installed the xda version, but it's only a trial. What's the benefit of xda over play store this way ?
@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? Asking cause my buttons sometimes don't work. I have Cyanogenmod 12 latest nightly and can set up a shortcut to SoundHUD on the Navigation ring.

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.
I've been playing with the phone since yesterday, but I keep on getting all these loud notifications and can't figure how to stop them. The phone is in the OEM LED wallet case.
For email, I just go into my email app (I use Gmail) and under alert tone I just select none. As for text notifications, not sure, without turning off system notifications all together. Maybe select a different, less irritating alert tone in the system settings?
Thanks,
I found Manage Notifications for each email account and selected Silent for the Gmail account. Gonna check on messages now.
I have my work email set to vibrate only. So I set the notification suond to silent. It's an option when you're choosing the notification sound. That's the easiest way.
That way you still keep the notification etc, but it stays silent.
This phone is driving me crazy. I'm coming from the Note 9 which only gave audible notifications when the phone rang. Now I'm getting sounds for all different apps. It is distracting and annoying. Samsung should have put in one setting to turn off all audible notifications except for phone calls. The interruptions out of this phone make it unsuitable as a business device.

Why not just turn the notification volume down if you don't want to hear them? That's what a volume slider is for isn't it?
I think also if you set the default notification to "none" that will take care of 95% of apps. Only ones that wl still have a sound are ones that provide their own notification sound, like eBay or Facebook.
I've just figured out how to do this today and it's actually really simple lol, seemed to get rid of all audio for notifications. Go into Settings > Ringtone > Sound and Vibration and then to notification sound, choose the sim and scroll to the top for Silent.

I'm having trouble too. I want to enable silent notifications and choose which apps are audible. I haven't been able to find a way to do this.

Just change the notification sound for each app. The ones you want to be silent, just set the notification tone for those apps to silent. Some apps have the settings in the app. But you can find all notifications in Settings > Notifications > tap "See all" > then change the drop down menu from "Most recent" to "All".
Then in the list you can find the apps you want to change the notification sounds for.
Folks, Thanks everyone for your help. Following your advice I was able to mute everything except for the phone call ring. I went to the following:
Settings
Sounds and Vibration
Volume
Notifications
Then I just reduced the volume there and all is well.
These tips are all fine and dandy, but i'm getting notification alerts when my phone simply rotates from portrait to landscape, answering and completing phone calls, opening and closing ANY app, etc etc. I'm also coming from a Note 9, and none of this garbage occured on that one. Only difference between my 9 and 20 ultra (aside from the model), is that my 9 is a factory purchase and my 20 from Verizon.
As an afterthought, since I use a bluetooth device, is there a way to have an audible alert on both the phone AND BT device? I can apparently only choose one or the other with this new UI. If I choose the phone, no notification sounds come through the BT headset, and if I choose the BT, no audible notifications come through the phone (oddly, 'some' notifications come through my watch, but not always?).
Again, none of these issues were present in my Note 9. I wonder if there's a way to transfer system notification settings from my 9 to 20....
