Dedicated notification level control - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

So, i received my OnePlus 6 about 2 days ago and so far i´m loving it!
One thing i miss from my old Lg G4 (and maybe all other Androids) is having a dedicated slider in the volume control for notification levels.
Anyone else agree with this?
It's also common to have a check box to make it follow ringtone volume so that leaves the option to disable it when wanted.

I use Ringer & Notification Volume Unlink Module in xposed. You'll need root to use the xposed framework.

And another one i just noticed,
When casting from a nearby device to Mibox i get the usual notification saying a device is casting but i cannot control it's volume.
That too should be included in the expandable volume controls (it is on other versions of android)

Thank you but so far i don't see any reason to root this phone, i heard the Oxygen team are quite attentive with incorporating user feedback into their updates, and as i'm asking for something which is common and already exists on other versions of Android i think it should be included.
So far that's the first reason to root and it's not yet enough for me to start tinkering with it.

[APP] Oxygen Slider

Hi,
This Xposed module allows you to customize the alert slider's behavior in OxygenOS.
A while back, OnePlus decided to merge the framework of OxygenOS with HydrogenOS which rendered my similar application (Notification Slider) useless, at least in my opinion. The drastic internal changes made it impossible to reach the same level of customizability as before, and since the source code wasn't updated properly to reflect those changes, I sadly gave up on OxygenOS support.
Now, almost a year later I've returned to OnePlus and decided to give it another shot.
After a month of fun, but challenging work, this is the result.
Feel free to send me feature requests, or bug reports, via the Contact feature in the Info section of the app.

Haven't tested it on Oreo yet, will do so as soon as the stable OOS update arrives on the 5T. Anyway, have you made sure that the Xposed status is active, and that the module has been properly activated (and rebooted once)?
Not working on OP5T OOS 4.7.6 stock android 7.1.1. Module has been successfully loaded, but moving the slider doesn't do anything. Absolutely nothing happens, not even the original actions work.
Attached logs from xposed installer.

The same thing happens here too. Nothing happens when I move the slider after installing the Module and rebooting. I'm using a OP3 and the latest Open Beta still based on Nougat. I know Open Betas are not supported but I thought I'd try anyway.
Haven't tried this yet on Oreo Beta 2 but will certainly be keeping an eye on this, thank you!
Hello sevelith,
Really appreciate the effort your taking.
I have installed the app and activated the module in xposed but unfortunately nothing happens even after rebooting to apply changes.Even the default slider actions don't work.

Update : Now it's working!thanks my friend .
But just a small question/request
If we set to flashlight(on) on top slider position and return to middle position it doesn't turn off(unless selecting flashlight to off for middle position,is there something u can do about it to turn off automatically when changing the slider position ?
And thank you for your work have been waiting for this a long time.
Id like to donate to you for this wonderful work,How can I donate to you my friend ?

Glad to hear it!
As for your request, I guess I could implement an option that allows you to select which profiles that should automatically be disabled on slider changes.
You could either use the donation button next to my avatar, or use the built-in Donation menu option. Thank you very much!

And oops I dint notice the donate option in the app,,will do gladly
I tried the fix apk on 5t with Orea Beta 2
Everything works so good (just if you remeber to reboot after every change of slider function.
Thanks a lot

Can you please tell me the steps of how you got this too work? I can't seem to find Xposed for 5t and the fix apk won't install :crying:
I am on Beta 2, rooted with Magiks.
When I get my 5T shall be coming back to this thread
Works on rooted OP5T with Oreo open beta 2.
Thank you very much. A long awaited feature
Worked on my 3T running Open Beta 15, but caused instability. I couldn't open Xposed or use Nova Launcher, so I had to delete the app.
I'm planning on updating to Oreo soon, so maybe that'll solve my stability issue. Also, I second an option to disable flashlight after changing slider position. The off screen gesture is still faster, but only if you draw it accurately. That's why I wanted to use the slider. If it doesn't turn off when you change positions, then you have to use the gesture or tap the quick setting anyway which defeats the purpose.
Other than that, it's great. This is one thing I've needed most on my 3T and not had.
Hey @Seveilith
So tried you app on OnePlus 5 running Open Beta 4 android 8.0.
App was working fine but there was this one problem:
1. On Silent(vibrate), the phone was completely on silent. Tried calling from other phone no vibration.
2. On Silent, the phone vibrated when a call came.
Have not tested this for notifications, but this happens during a call.
Thanks a lot @Seveilith for the come back of this once beloved app!
I'd like to know if there is a profile where sound can be customized (using tasker or another automation app or even the volume buttons) from vibrate to ring. Or is the OOS limitation on sound (forced on or off dependig on the chosen profile) can't be overcome?

I've noticed the issue on OxygenOS v4.7.6 as well, at least when transitioning from Silent to Silent (Vibrate). I'm currently working on a fix, and hopefully it will work on the Oreo builds as well (haven't taken a look at the Oreo source code yet).

Unfortunately, this is the result of the volume restrictions of OxygenOS. I havent decided yet, but I plan on implementing a new feature, or a standalone Xposed module, that unlocks these restrictions (e.g. by making it possible to change the ringer mode using the volume buttons).

Do tell me if you need some testing.

Android 9.0 stupidifies DND and Recent Apps.

(Moderators please move this topic if I am in the wrong forum).
My Pixel 1 received the 9.0 update and I HATE IT.
Google modified the controls over "sound on", "vibrate only", "silent" to Priority and DND many times. With Android 7 and 8 I was satisfied. But now.. they have completely stupidified Android!
A better explanation can be found here although this article is way to kind describing it:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-not-disturb-settings-simplified-single-mode/
Two problems I now have:
1. It is possible to mute your phone while you can still actively control the volume using the side buttons. It is totally unclear whether the phone is actually silent. See screenshot 1.
2. When DND is on (in my case it turns on automatically at night) there is no way to turn it off with the volume buttons anymore. You actually have to go into Settings.
3. When in a meeting and you want to turn in on, normally you could use the volume button down but not anymore
Please, is there anyway to get control over DND via volume buttons again? Some kind of setting I can change via ADB?
Then the other major change: Recent Apps. You no longer have an overview of your recent apps! You cannot just tap the app you want. Instead, your current app screen zooms out and you can scroll left to find out what other recent apps you have.
It's like going back to the stone age. I cannot believe the reasoning behind it. Is there a way to revert back to the better Recent Apps
I am not a programmer or developer at all but these dumb decisions from Google made me wish I was an Android dev who could write an app to change this.
It's also quite frustrating all the big websites write how Android 9 has AI and will improve your life because hey you are probably addicted to your phone.I haven't noticed any AI informing me of app usage. Also all the articles don't say anything about how an update could also be a huge step back I
This feels like a dumber version of Android
Maybe you would prefer LineageOS on your Pixel, instead.

That looks like a nice app! I try to avoid using my physical buttons to help extend their life... but that does seem nice if you use the volume rocker often!
I am using this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter
it allows me to add new toggles to my drop down notification toggles and one is for volume controls..
Well there is a shortcut built into Android pi for vibrate mode: when the screen is on, press the volume up and power button at the same time and the phone will vibrate for calls and notifications

App request?

I still use an app that has been discontinued quite some time ago.
The app was called Volume Control by dev Bigredpepper
It's on of the first apps I install on any new phone! Very convenient for adjusting volume by just sliding the edge of your screen (no not VolumeSlider allthough very similar I didn't like that one). Volume Control was far easier than buttons or even the newest Pie Volume slider imo.
But one day it is probably gonna break on a new Android version that's my fear, so I am wondering if there are any dev's interested in making a similar app.
So I was wondering if there is a place to bring new ideas as inspiraton to dev's?

Question Separate Ring and Notification volume?

Anyone know how to achieve this? Gravity box used to allow this. I'm have xposed/magisk installed so I'm open to anything.
The notification sounds are too loud but the ring sound is too quiet.
If it was like past versions of Android (8?) and phones, Google made a change to link them as one level. The App that I found that allows for seperate volume and notification control is 'Volume Butler'. It's simple and works well. There may be other Apps that can do this, but, at the time I needed it, it was the only one.

Yeah I searched all over the forums and those seems to be only apps that might work. Not sure how power hungry those apps are constantly monitoring app activity.
I was hoping something smaller that works on magisk or xposed.

This is the app I use to do that. Works great. No extra battery drain with it either.

Question Is there a Magisk module that allows different apps to have different volumes?

I get so tired of not being able to hear my Assistant when I trigger it with the screen off and would really like a way to make sure that my adjustments to volume don't impact Assistant. I seem to remember something like this existing in the HTC days where volume could be controlled on a per-app basis but I haven't heard of anything recently. Is there such a tweak? You would think with how hard Google pushes their Assistant that they would have done something about it themselves.
They should have had a volume mixer for Android a long time ago. Similar to windows

Agreed. I swear I used to use custom ROMs with this on my HTC devices but I never needed such functionality. Now that I have a Pixel that actually works with the trigger phrase (my OnePlus 9 would just randomly stop working so I mapped long press power button to Assistant instead), I want to use it, but when I use my device, I turn the volume down lower than it would have to be for me to be able to hear my Assistant from a distance so I end up having to pick my phone up anyway :/

It used to be that you'd edit several lines in (I believe) build.props (or some props file) in a terminal app that would bypass the volume limit. That may still work, it's just been so long, I can't remember anymore but I might try searching old threads in old devices and see what I can find.
This might get you somewhere
Build.prop - sound quality improvement
Almost everyone who has ever put ROOT rights on Android has heard about such a file as build.prop and tweaks for it. In this article, we will look at all the lines of this file with which you can
