Changing Volume Steps - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I've been searching for a solution to this for a couple of years now. I'm currently running a rooted stock Marshmallow S7 and still haven't figured out how to increase the volume steps on my phone. There must be a way, even if it involves editing the build.prop file. Is it possible to change the volume steps on an S7? Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Found one thing that seems to kinda work. The NGC 4388 app won't allow me to configure the steps but does seem to add more.
Edit #2: Had to uninstall NGC 4388 because the volume would jump sometimes and I believe it nullified my Sound Mod that I had previously flashed.

Been trying for two days to fix this 'feature' but they have changed the file position of the code and am having trouble finding it. Oh well at least I've learnt everything I ever wanted to know about decompiling/ recompiling . lol
I'm gonna try again in a few days once my sister has gone home as this is the first time in a year I've seen her in a year.
Wish me luck
i'm also looking for a way to disable increasing ring tone , also find it very annoying .
Try headset button controller
Not sure if this is actually a fix but just did some quick informal testing and seems to work: install app headset button controller and under advanced options set the default volume when plugging in headphones to 65% or above. If someone else can verify this it would be awesome.

Good try but when plugging my headphone in with this active, the device notices the volume change and the warning comes straight up.
Thanks anyway.
Ah yes, after I rebooted and plugged in I got the warning. However it seems to only be an issue the first time after reboot, then looks like it's good to go. Just don't reboot
Not sure if it applies to this phone as I sport note 4 and am only browsing, but in absence of xposed mod, I use tasker. Also free app 'hearing saver' from play store works for me.
Note 4 ?

I've already tried this. Needs smali edit. But I've been unable to find the code for this function.
edgarf28 has managed to accomplish this in his ROM and I have requested a point in the right direction or even a flashable version (bit cheeky I know) he has also managed to incorporate 5 way reboot that I would really like help with to. Might have to go and beg him again .lol

the reason he is able to do it is because his rom is de-odexed or whatever... we arent... that is why he can have it

I already did this it seem to ho quite smoothly but still having problems with getting 5 way and disabling safe volume.
Just need a bit of help to finish getting my device perfect.
Problem is theres not much ROM deving on 925f at the moment. I know this will pick up. I'm just impatient
I've been searching everywhere for a way to disable this volume warning. Has anyone figure it out and posted instructions? I see it in a couple custom ROMs but I haven't found how it is done.

I've simply flashed the alliance ROM. Very happy
In general, this issue still bothers me. At least in my car, in which I use an auxilliary cord, I've an NFC tag programmed to open Spotify and turn media volume all the way up using NFC Tasks/Tools. At least for me, this works to get past the warning initially, and is useful when I need to unplug then plug back in.
I would love to see a general fix that doesn't require rooting my phone; that sanctimonious popup drives me bonkers.
If youll go to the music player on your phone. Click settings, then click smart volume on. Try it out. Works for me on my s6

Can't add more volume steps with Gravitybox

Hello,
my problem is that i can't add additional volume steps with mods like GravityBox. I really would like to have that option, but i cant figure out how to do so. I dont have any sound mods installed. On my last devices it worked always perfectly. I have the 930F version.

Old in-call overlay, CID broken, can't find it to remove!

So this is a silly problem, but I need some help. Back when I first got my s8 active, I went through and blacked everything out. A couple of days ago, an AT&T update left me with no names for caller ID, just numbers, even though they're listed in contacts. So in troubleshooting, I booted to safe mode, the in-call screen goes back to white, and the CID works as expected. I've removed every app and customization I can think of, but I can't affect the in-call screen, which is where the problem is. I believe I remember manually placing files back then, as substratrum wasn't available yet and it wasn't as easy as installing an APK. Can someone tell me what filename/location I should be looking for, and where to get the stock version If necessary? I just don't remember unfortunately. I'm also very open to any other suggestions anyone might have. Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me change the amount of volume steps on a mediatek based device?

I have Infinix zero 8 (android 10) and im trying to change the ammount of volume steps it has to no luck. It only has 15 steps system wide. Not the slider but the system itself only supports 15 volume steps unlike samsung phones for example with 100 steps in the system itself and 15 in the slider by default. Meaning that when using some app that would allow the volume to be changed with the increments of 1/100, samusung internet for example, then the volume would only change with the increments of 7/100 not 1/100 as it should. It might sound confusing, cause it is. Ive also tried changing the ammount of volume steps using https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-volume-steps-increase-for-magisk-v10.3554996/ and also gravitybox. They dont work as intended. They do add more steps to the volume slider itself, but dont fix that system wide issue of only having 15 volume steps. When volume steps are increased to 30 for example then the volume slider works the same as before from the steps 1-15 and then going past that it loops back to 0 and goes up from there. Meaning that steps 1-15 and 16-30 are exactly the same. No actual increase in volume steps. Been having that problem since 2018, never found a solution for it. Any help is welcome.
Hi! Have you found a solution to this?
Or does anyone know a solution? I'm looking for a non-root solution, excluding Precise Volume (which works, but's buggy).
Thanks!

use gsi and add ro.config.media_vol_steps=100 into build.prop
Thank you!
I forgot to mention that I'm also not looking to flash, but I'll keep your solution in mind.

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
