[Q] Increase the number of volume steps - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First, I couldn't decide if this was the best place for this question, so if there is a better place, just let me know.
Does anyone know of a way to increase the number of steps for the volume control. In my office I would like my phone to make sound as I can't always here the phone vibrating. However the first step up on the volume feels kinda loud. I would love it if there was like a half step.
Is there any mod or app that will let me do this? I'm running the CM12 nightly (from 1/30) if it makes a different.
Thanks

Can I have your whole framework.jar and not just the media folder?
I'll mod it for you.

[Request] disable camera sound from camera settings

I ask you guys if someone is able to add in camera settings an option to disable the camera sound, it's not present in the stock app
the only way I found is to disable system volume via cVolume
anyone ? thx

Where's the file located?
+1 I hate that sound
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
if you want it to sound different, just replace it with a different file.
if you don't want to hear it, just rename it.
if you want an automated process to do it, just make a simple script that renames it back and forth between the proper name and anything else (remember to mount r/w)
i don't get why people want this as an option.. is there EVER a time when you actually want it to make the sound? just nuke it... why waste the space for a radio button or check-box?
*edit* also, @deadpoux ... it's not an option in the stock rom because they've been trying to make it a legal requirement in many places, including the US. Not sure if this has passed or not, but here's the first link I found about it. http://www.tgdaily.com/consumer-electronics-features/41212-camera-click-sound-could-become-legally-required
sorry in advance for being so noob, but.... how can I delete/rename the file?
Tried using terminal emulator on the phone, but get no permission message....
please advise.
thnks
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
Should do the trick.
if you're not comfortable with using adb, just download "rootexplorer" and navigate to the directory then in the upper right corner, click the button to select "r/w" access (read/write) and then long click camera_click.ogg and delete or rename, etc...
then switch back to "r/o" (read only) when you're done.
I will mention if you use root explorer, be VERY careful, if you poke around too much, you may cause issues with your phone. I can't see anyone actually bricking their phone with it, but it would require a reflash at the very least. I'd recommend at least trying to understand adb basics.
thanks guys, I used adb with your suggestion and now the camera is silent!!
thanks again!

Isn't that just the sound of the "Volume Up/Down" sound? In that case i wouldn't remove that one :-/
Re: [request]disable camera sound from camera settings
no i think its another one.
i guess we could listen to them all the find the second sound......

depending on what rom ur on
CM 5.0.5.3 has desire camera port and it has the shut shutter sound off in options
its a bit more difficult getting the CM 5.0.5.3 desire camera port to work on CM 5.0.6 and the app is obviously on the desire rom's, enom's official rom has the use for it as well
unzip & push this .ogg file to /system/media/audio/ui

Actually, this needs to be in Development where I posted it due to the fact that it requires major editing of the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml files to allow it to display the actual battery percentage for each level, such as 99, 98, 97, etc.. Please put it back.
Agreed. I too would really like to see this develop into a reality for inc users. it would free up a spot on my notification bar.
I was able to edit the images and repack the latest nightly so now I have the circle battery meter. The 1% increment isn't working. I assume there must be an xml file to edit??? Can anyone shed some light on that?
Edit: This is on CM6 nightly
Wish this could be ported with the percentage over a battery icon. The circle icon reminds me too much of WinMo.
I'd love to get this on my phone along with something similar for wifi!

how to modify xml files?
Hi all -- I would love to have this batt on my DI too...and honestly it doesn't look difficult from a theming perspective. But we need some way to extract the necessary XML files from framework-res.apk, modify them, then correctly re-encode them as binary and repackage into the apk.
If someone can point me to a tool, short of the using the full SDK to rebuild the apk from scratch, it should be a relatively quick mod...

You need to use AXMLPrinter2 to edit stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml, which are located under /res/drawable/ in framework-res.apk. I just don't know what modifications to change.
this would be awesome!

unfortunately AXMLPrinter2 only converts the XMLs from binary back into editable text -- it doesn't do the reverse. But if you use it and take a look at the XMLs, the modifications are actually pretty straightforward. In fact, the file is already set up to have an image for every 1% step, but images for 95 of those steps are undefined.
what we need is a tool that repackages the XMLs back into the APK appropriately -- i haven't found anything to do this, and i'm not skilled enough to use the SDK in full yet...
still would really love to see this...how can we get some love from the more experienced themers?

Is HX Camera-Mod Possible on the Verizon SG3?

This may be a dumb question, but is the HX Camera mod possible on our Verizon SG3's? It looks awesome in the youtube videos.
The link is http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-camera-mod
yea its possible. but unless you are releasing it then you may want to have a mod move this to the q&a's before some troll comes here lol
Anything is possible. Eschelon had it ported and built into synergy but video recording was borked in it.

General rule of thumb, if your thread title has a "?" or should have one it doesn't belong in Development.
I loved it when we had it. Not a much of a video guy on my phone, but I do like the pics options. Unzipped the .apk but won't let me install, just says installation failed. Any ideas?

I'm sorry if asking a question was inappropriate in this forum, but it seems like better answers typically come out of this subforum I put the apk into System/app (after renaming the orig. camera apk to .bak) and it works! I like the options to use the volume buttons to shoot video and pics. The only thing that would be nice is a menu option to kill the camera sound instead of having to delete the files as below:
note: To have the Camera COMPLETE silent you have to delete some system-Audio files from:
\system\media\audio\ui
“shutter.ogg”
“cam_start.ogg”
“cam_stop.ogg”
“Volume_controll.ogg”
Thanks for the help, loving my SG3 even more!!! This is the greatest phone I've ever had by far!

Only one glitch, terrible pixellation on video playback. Looks okay while shooting,but is horrible when played back, either on phone or on computer. I went back to the stock camera.apk and there's no pixellation. May have to try the other option listed above. Anyone have a fix for the pixellation?

[MOD] Volume Boosting for SM-N900 [ROOT] * Discontinued *

*** DISCONTINUED DUE TO MY TIME RESTRICTIONS***
Hi All,
This is my first thread so please excuse me if I'm breaching any rules.
This is a Volume Boost MOD for SM-900 version of our beloved Note 3. You need a ROOTED Device!
MOD.zip is for a high boost and
MOD_Moderate.zip is for a moderate boost.
MOD_Little.zip is for a little boost. (This is intended to be in between Stock and Moderate)
Note that these are all relative and changes from one's taste to that of another.
This mod increases the Speaker volume when the speaker is on during
- a phone conversation,
- music playback
- Ringtones, notifications..etc
Additionally, there's a slight increase in the wired headphone during Music Playback.
1- BACKUP YOUR ysound.xml file under /system/etc. Then, Unzip the desired MOD provided in zip attached and overwrite ysound.xml file to /system/etc with the file explorer of your choice. Here, I used ES Explorer.
2- Once you're done unzipping and overwriting the existing ysound.xml file select the file then press "More" , then "Properties", then "Change" button for the "Permissions". Apply -rw-r-r-- for the permissions. Attached, you'll see the screenshots for the procedure.
3- Once you make SURE that you followed the instructions, reboot the device.
4- In case you want to come back to the original stock version of the file, either put back your backup or unzip the attached ORIGINAL.zip and apply the above 1 and 2.
Hope this is useful.
PS. Please can someone find out and share what the line 3558 is for in the modded file that I attached? Thank you.
Kartal, thanks for this mod, I think this is also valid for SM-N9000Q for Turkish phones, right?
Regards.

Yes, this MOD should work on all SM-900 models, including the Turkish SM-N9000Q. Mine is SM-N9000Q and it works flawlessly.
This MOD has nothing to do with the phone ID or firmware (as long as the device is SM-N900). Btw, you can easily change the phone ID.

I adjusted so that the music doesn't get distorted heavily. I suggest that you use it at around 90% volume as it sounds OK to me. Just try it yourself, start from 100% volume and come down gradually until you are happy with the sound.
I am pretty sure it is not gonna break your speakers, at least..

Unfortunately, there's no way to use this MOD without root. There are other apps in Google Play but they work differently (if they work for Note3 at all). This MOD modifies the xml script of Yamaha.

If you are using ES File explorer, for example, you need to enable root function as well: Click Menu, then under Tools enable Root Explorer and click on it, then click Mount R/W, then select all those three items as RW. You're done! Now you can write/delete..etc

Volume Steps

This 7 Pro has too many dang volume steps.
30 steps for the volume on the 7 Pro vs only 15 on my Note 9.
Takes an absolute age to adjust the media volume on this phone, LOL! In all seriousness... Is there any way to cut the volume steps in half on this phone? Any module? Custom ROM offer this?

On Havoc you cange the number of steps. You can choose between 5, 7, 15, 30, 45 and 60 for everything (alarm, music, notification, ringer, system, voice call..)
will increasing the steps change the minimum volume level?
Gravity Box lets you change it.
Throw this into your build prop:
Code:
ro.config.media_vol_steps=15
You can change 15 to anything you like.

If you haven't done so yet, get the "buildprop editor" app from playstore, hit the pencil icon, scroll all the way down and add the line that rickysidhu_ mentioned.
Hit save and exit, reboot and you're good to go.
