Dispite the generic Android system warning for all accessibility services, The Volume Control Panel Accessibility service does not capture or store any information, it simply listens for volume +/- button presses.
<b> Volume Control Panel does not collect, store or share any personal information, nor does it have any of the permissions required to do so, it doesn't even connect to the Internet!.</b>

Application Profile:
Circle Alarm (circle clock) is the most intuitive alarm clock on Android, it is simple, fast and powerful, supports multiple alarm clock, pause (snooze), repeat the alarm, vibration and other functions, the original circle-style time picker makes eyes a light.
Main features:
- My Music: You can use your favorite music or ring tones (MP3/WMA, etc.) to make a circle alarm clock wake you up
- Flip Pause: When the alarm sounds, flip phone to pause (snooze)
- Voice reminder: Pause alarm that circle alarm clock will tell you next time (requires Text-to-speech service, and only supports English), so you no longer need to look at the time of the
- Press and hold Stop: by touching and holding the stop button to control the clock, thus avoiding misuse
- Circle Time Picker: Time Picker circle shape, convenient, intuitive, convenient, beautiful, so you can easily set the alarm time
Inspired from TouchBar for iOS (by @laughingQuoll on Twitter) , TouchBar for Android is a powerful bar to quickly control:
Wifi (ON/OFF)
Bluetooth (ON/OFF)
Auto-rotation (ON/OFF)
Brightness (Autobrightness ON/OFF) and its Level
Music Level
Ring mode and its Level
Also, TouchBar integrate a Google Search button and a text field for quick search and Music Controls (Previous, Pause and Next).
TouchBar appears with a swipe from the bottom and disappear when you touch outside of it, but you can control delay with which this operation must take place. Its also lightly customizable as for now, but in the next future I hope to improve settings!
Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 2 - Sounds and vibration, Notifications, Wallpaper and Themes
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.
Sound and vibration
Sound Mode: Choose from Sound, Vibrate and Mute. If you choose Mute, you can now choose to "Temporary Mute" for custom time.
Vibrate while ringing: I have enabled it as in environments where the ringtone is not loud enough, vibrations in my pocket help me.
Ringtone: Set Ringtone for each of your SIMs. Tap Add to add music from your storage. Select 'Highlights only' to play only a specified part of the track and not necessarily from the beginning. This way you can make ringtones from the music track itself but anyways here are the best ringtones sites. The existing catalogue in the device has few nature-inspired tones - I've set it to 'Friday'.
Notification sounds: You can set a customized notification for each app in app's settings itself so set this one as a default notification - something short that won't annoy you. My choice is 'Twinkle'.
Volume:
Play with them to find what suits you. In my case, System (touch sounds, back button sounds, etc.) is zero while notifications are on the lowest side. You can still control them by pressing the volume rocker and then expanding the pop-up.
Use Volume keys for media: I never wanted to control ringtone with volume rockers. Must be enabled!
Menu > Media Volume Limit: You can set a lower upper limit for your audio devices. Also, you can increase the OEM limit to force devices with more volume - can be very helpful with low volume calls or media. I know how to control, so set to highest - the volume bar will also show you the danger zone while increasing.
Call/Notification Vibration Pattern: Specifies vibration pattern for your Calls. Choose a call pattern to something by which you can easily differentiate your calls from a standard notification form the initial vibration itself. I've set it to 'Off-beat'. You now have the option to sync with ringtone or notifications (need to try)!
Vibration Intensity: If you get annoyed, like I do, by vibrations for every notification, set it to zero or alternatively set it to a lower level while tweaking individual app notification settings to allow/disallow vibrations. 'Touch interaction' is for on-screen touches. Set "Vibration sound for incoming calls" to get the humming-before-sound effect and also not to annoy yourself or partner with call ringtones when you can pick the call before it sounds!
System sounds and vibration: Touch sounds (sound/vibration), Screen lock sounds (sound), Charging sounds (sound/vibration), Dialling keypad tones (sound/vibration), Samsung Keyboard (sound/vibration), Navigation gestures (vibration), Camera feedback (vibration).
Sound quality and effects, Separate app sound:
Dolby Atmos: Read about it here. I've set it to Auto. You can easily toggle modes from the notification bar itself (move it to the first page). Enable "Dolby Atmos for gaming" and enjoy gaming!
Equaliser: Play with it to decide what's best for you. Here is an Equaliser guide for you so that you can play with the Advanced mode as well.
UHQ upscaler: Connect earphone to enable this. Bit-upscaling works best for me. Read a pro analysis on UHQ upscaling modes here.
[Discontinued] Tube Amp Pro; Concert hall: They are disabled when using Dolby Atmos. I prefer Dolby Atmos over either of them.
Adapt Sound: Do try it! Add trying a new profile for each of your earphones or audio device and personalise sound. You can try existing profiles and toggling Clear or Soft sound preferences.
Separate app sound: Useful in cases where you don't want an app's sound to play on your default audio device. I have set 'App' to Chome/Facebook and Audio device to 'Phone' so that they don't accidentally play on the connected device in case Bluetooth is left on. You can also choose 'YouTube Music' as App and Audio device to 'Bluetooth' so that music always play on the connected device.
Notifications
Notification pop-up style: To be filled.
Do not disturb: You can schedule it though I recommend Tasker or IFTTT for control it. Now that you have set apps to control DND, set "For how long" to "Ask every time" so whenever you need to set DND, you select the time. If you want to turn it off manually or know the average time, choose otherwise. Do explore Exceptions to enable 'Repeat callers', allowing calls/messages from a specific group, allowing event/task/reminders. Customize DND so that your 3rd-party (scheduling) apps when enabling it enables your customized settings. You can add 'Apps' to exception so that you don't miss notifications from, for example, Mail. You can choose 'Hide Notifications' to choose what notifications to show. For example, you don't want Apps to sound but want to see the icon badges when you turn on the screen.
Recently Sent/App Notifications: You can customize each App's notification here itself or can do this simply in that App's settings. I prefer customizing App settings when they arrive in the notification bar by holding the notification and tapping settings. This way, in some time, you'll make your app notifications fully customized for all of those that bother you. With Pie, you have now greater control of each app's notification. You can even customize notification subcategories of a particular app. Do check 'silent and minimized' mode that doesn't create a mess in your notification panel as well as minimizes the content by default with no sound. Do you need a separate guide to master this? Do tell. You can also refer to a good article here.
Advanced:
Show notifications icons: It is set to recent 3 by default. If you get a lot of notifications like me, you will miss seeing notification icons (recency doesn't equal importance).
Show battery percentage: Since I usually get a lot of notifications, I've disabled 'Show recent notifications only'. It's not a bad idea to get the actual percentage of battery level so enable 'Show battery percentage'.
Notification history: Finally! You get the swiped or snoozed notifications here. Saves me after accidentally hitting "Clear All". MUST ENABLE!
Conversations: Now you can control notifications from individual SMS senders!
Switch on 'Suggest actions and replies for notifications' and 'Show snooze button' if helps.
Notification Reminders: If you want to give attention to notifications from selected apps, you can get reminded frequently (with vibrations) until you clear them. Helps me not to miss Missed Calls or Fiverr messages.
App icon badges: Useful though I use a similar feature 'Notification badges' in Nova Launcher.
Wireless Emergency Alerts: MUST ENABLE! Alerts given by government or organizations about life hazards and likewise. I have enabled everything even test messages!
Wallpaper and style
My Wallpapers: You can choose Wallpapers for the Lock Screen and Home Screen here. Now you can set Video Wallpapers for Lock Screen too. I use Tapet to change wallpapers and Tasker to add new wallpapers to it.
Lock screen wallpaper services: I have chosen 'Dynamic Lock Screen' to change Lock Screen Wallpapers from the 5 categories which add new wallpapers every 2 weeks. 'Samsung Global Goals' is a views-oriented donation theme.
Colour palette: This came with Material You. Colour of buttons, app icons (if 'Apply palette to app icons' is enabled) and other icons will match your wallpaper theme!
Apply Dark mode to wallpaper: Darkens your wallpapers to give less strain on the eye and comply with the dark mode actually!
Themes
It will route you to Samsung Themes. I use a separate icon and theme packs for Nova Launcher. I do use AOD packs from the Themes. Do explore this section on XDA itself. I'm going to develop some themes (preferably AOD skins) soon and will let you know. Learn how to develop yours here.
