Android volume to MTCD volume xposed module - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

One of the things I miss from my old unit is the ability to call volume changes from tasker/automagic.
I used to be able to hook in to the IR volume intent and send volume changes programatically.
What I was wondering is if anyone can do a xposed module to intercept android volume commands and send them to the MTC volume commands.
That way we would have full integration with android apps that can control volume.
@7floor has done some work for the volume bar and has this repository that may help https://github.com/7floor/xposed-volumebar
Any xposed experts that can give this a go?

[Q] Remap the volume buttons?

Is there any way to change the functionality of the volume buttons in non-phone apps to control the system volume instead of the ringer volume? To me, only controlling the ringer volume is VERY limited when I want to soften but not completely silence the phone.
EDIT: Misread the question
Not that I know of.

A way to detect volume rocker presses on low level

OK, here's the deal: Android services, unlike activities, are unable to capture keypresses via i.e. onKeyDown(). That makes it hard for services that for example play music to detect volume rocker presses. Capturing them is possible, as Voodoo Louder somehow detects it, but unfortunately Voodoo author is not willing to share his secret. So question to you hackers - is there any other way for service to capture volume button presses, beside the one I've posted on stack exchange, the one that employs ContentObserver? Some low level kernel access point? Something in /dev/ ? Note that my device doesn't have /dev/event0, as supposed here:

[Q] Bluetooth Headset - more Volume Steps

Hey,
I bought a Sony SBH20 to listen to music without having the annoying cable on my phone.
The Problem is, there are only 7 Volume Steps for the Bluetooth Device (Hardware Buttons of the Headset also control the Android Volume).
So I want to find a way to controll the Volume finer.
I tried:
- Increase number of steps with the XPosed module VolumeSteps+. Problem ist that also I have more steps now, only at 7 points the Volume realy changes. So I have no improvement here.
- The App "Fine Volume Controll V2.0" which can controll the Volume in 1% steps. Problem here is that I can only change the Volume in the app, but not with the Hardware Buttons of Headset or Smartphone (when the phone is locked).
So, any ideas for that?
My Phone is a rooted Sony Xperia Z2 with Android 4.4.4 and Xposed Framework installed.
I don't have this Problem with my old Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod (also Android 4.4.4) which has more steps for the Bluetooth Device. So I think the Problem belongs to Sony customizations of Android.
So is there any way to get finer Volume controll?

Skip Tracks with the volume keys mod?

Hi friends,
is there a mod for skipping tracks with long press the volume buttons?
I've done it with xposed and gravity box (but doesn't seem to work with earphones buttons)
If you have root there is a way through xposed as for headphones there is a smart control option under settings on the stock from just search for headphones in settings

No root - volume buttons control Ringtone/Notification volume instead of Media.

I have a phone with very customized ROM (Flyme) and I'm trying to find a way to force volume buttons to control Ringtone/Notification volume instead of Media volume.
I know there is a way to perform this, thanks to an Xposed module, but my phone can't be rooted. Can it be done without root and without one of those many volume controlling apps that show a widget or a persistent notification with different profiles? I just need to press hardware buttons to control those volumes.
[If you ask me why I need this is because ROM devs are stupid (at least Flyme devs, but I know Oreo "benefits" from this great feature) and didn't think that Media volume should change only if some Media is playing. If no Media is playing, why someone would need to change Media volume? I thought these are smartphones, not dumbphones and I was expecting to do smart things, like detecting when Media is playing and changing the volume accordingly. I guess I was wrong...]
You can get noyze volume panel that works with accessibility controls, you can fins the app on github or google noyze volume panel (no root required), it has extended panel in options which makes sense for android as even pie has the worse volume controls than kitkat.
