Question Possible to increase volume steps? - ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s

The notification slider definitely needs fine volume control. By default it only has 7 steps (8 if you include zero) so notifications can still be quite loud and not discreet at all even on step 1.
Apparently with root this is something that can be adjusted?

How can I increase the number of volume levels?
Is it possible to increase the number of steps in the volume control? I'd like a finer grained control over the volume level. I have a Galaxy Nexus. Note: I don't want to boost the volume just cha...

There are a few too many options there to transport them all into a post.
You may also want to search in Magisk, since you need that to override the build.prop in Android 11 anyway.

Sure. You should import the .wav file that corresponds to the mentioned alert in your PC to a wave editor and normalize it. If it is already normalized you should try to apply multiband compression to it and tweak the compression ratio of the frequencies that match the characteristics of your devices loudspeaker
Ok let me rephrase. Can i have my SMS tone like 100% Volume and the rest of the System Volume at 10%?
Yes. Still the same answer... shortly - you have to change the volume individually for each file by opening those files in an audio editor - the sms one louder and if it is already 100% then you need to make other ones softer. I am talking about the internal volume of the files. All the audio is played through the same wave device which is affected by a single system volume slider so there is surely no way to autoroute "recalled" wavs to a virtual buses with individual volume sliders. Maybe in the future... but this is more like in a pro audio playground already, I dont think this kind of consumer devices would ever support such a specific ground.
No its not a solution to reduce the volume of all system sounds and sounds of the applications, midis and whatever they use.
I think Photo Contacs Pro can do that...but i cant switch the phone silent with the regular volume control anymore...wich is something i like.

Added In-Call Volume and Ring volume
Aegishua said:
Sorry if this has already been posted but there are a couple of things that are worth outlining to most users.. for example there are registry entries that allow you to change the volume and increase it significantly beyond windows actually supports and there are various other edits.. but one edit i really would like is to disable the Incoming Call Bubble..(haven't found a solution for it yet) but i thought i'd just provide everyone else with what i've found so far. (I take no credit for these registry edits)
Volume Edits
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\
DWORD - Ringer
(HEX)Increase it to 0x#<change it to 5 or higher> to increase it to its maximum volume. - Only tested on the Atom Life
(DEC)Increase it to over 5 to increase the volume
DWORD - Volume
Same as Ringer DWORD
In Call Edits
REMOVE SOUNDS WHEN ADJUSTING VOLUME INCALL
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardIncallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestIncallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestIncallVolume
STRING - Script
Remove the 'p' in the script strings to remove the noises while in a call. This makes the volume increase smoother and removes the annoying noises.
INCREASE INCALL VOLUME
HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\InCall
DWORD - InitVol
Defaults to around 2 - 5, Increase this to 5 or Higher
Ringtone Edits
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtone0
STRING - Script
RINGTONE VOLUME
HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring
DWORD - InitVol
Defaults to around 2 - 5, Increase this to 5 or Higher
Notifications Edits
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications
This works for any Script DWORDs in most if not all of those strings.
EG. To Show the icon on the taskbar, vibrate and play the sound selected
Reg: HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone\Options
HEX Value - 0x3
DEC Value - 3
PS: If this is already done.. Close the thread or PM me and i'll delete it.

What should I edit to increase the system sound volume (i.e the volume of music playing)
Also, please tell me how much to increase so that I do NOT damage my device in any case.
Thanks
Hope this can go in the guides thread.

I read the guide, but there's a confusion.
What should I modify to increase the volume of the music playing, and also by what value should I increase so as NOT to damage the device.

Okay essentially, you open the registry editor on your phone and then make your way to the Volume String. from there you'll see a number of DWORDS and what not. Select Volume and edit the value. Change it to something like 5 or higher than the value that was already there. Soft reset after that
Alternatively you can install the SRS WOW HD driver if your phone supports it (most phones do). Download it Here
ok, the guide was moved to the GUIDES thread... post 25.

[Q] Adding More Volume Levels

By now, there MUST be a way... I have searched and searched, ultimately concluding that either it isn't possible or hasn't been shared, so here goes:
I want to see if it is possible to make all volume controls in Android have about 20-30 levels. There simply has to be a way. Anyone keen enough to see if there may be a way to change the volume -/+ levels?
Sorry, I am not interested in any other apps nor having to open up a volume slider to get better control: The hardware buttons are there for a reason.
Google: 7 volume levels is simply retarded. When devices are now being used to listen to music, watch movies, YouTube, Netflix, etc. how can you suppose that only 7 levels of volume would do the trick?
Found one!
OK - So I found a variable in the build.prop file called
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps
which allows you to change the number of steps for the in-call volume slider. Now all I need to do is test out a bunch of other possible variations to see if I can achieve the same effect with the rest of the sliders. By default, my OG Droid is set to 7. I upped it to 20 and am amazed at the amount of control I have over the in-call volume at this point. I think, if I can, I will do this with all of the volume sliders!
I will keep you all updated if I find anything.

This sounds (no pun intended) interesting, by any chance is the in call volume louder? I would love to get my ear to hurt when on the phone. Then as least I can back down the volume. Right now I strain to here on my HTC DZ aka HTC Vision.
Not sure...

I will have to test that. I am not sure whether or not this actually makes anything louder. I'll let you know in a day or so after I bounce the settings back and forth a couple times.

Lowest media volume still way too loud. Is it possible to lower the minimum volume?

When I listen to music in a quiet room, even on the lowest volume it's way too loud (using earphones). I know there are tweaks to boost the volume above the hardware default, but is it possible to do the opposite?
What I've tried:
- Increasing the number of steps on the volume slider but the lowest volume is still the same.
- "Fine Volume App" - didn't work either
Any ideas?
I'm running Resurrection Remix on 6.0.1.
Thanks!

Read the thread on manually boosting the volume, it states exactly what changed, just lower those settings and test, rebooting each time

Thanks for the response.
Doesn't this only change the maximum possible volume though, not the lowest possible volume?

I'm pretty sure it's like a multiplier... if you change it from 90 to 84 the total volume will lower over the entire range, at least that is what I thought.

Sounds great!
You wrote: Volume level is set in percentage in range <0, 100>%.
I´m a little bit confused. An example: I drive with 50km/h and change the main volume to Level 20. Then i accelerate to 100km/h, volume set to maybe 80% => Volume sets down to Level 16?
Therefore a Question for clarifying: Does that mean there are absolute volume changes (which would not be very useful) or are relative changes?
Best regards
Swen
I tried the app and I confirm that it changes absolute levels which indeed is not useful. It would be great if it was just adding percentage to the current volume level. Maybe if there was a toggle to switch between absolute and relative changes and one to switch generally on and off it would be perfect.
Same, the settings are absolute. I honestly would only need to start adding volume in increments of 5 percent at motorway/highway speeds (100km/h and higher) because that's really when road noise starts affecting music
Yesterday I had also tested the new SDVC-Tool. It behaves exactly as thought. If you decrease or increase the volume it jumps back during llittle speed changes. Absolute volume changes make no sense.
Sorry, but the software is currently unusable. Relative volume changes regard to main volume level is required.
Im not a hacker, but i would try to write down my pretty simplified algorithm ideas for general relative SDVC (with +/-3km Hysteresis to prevent for to often volume changings at speedclass edges):
Code:
definitions / precondition
(
speedclass [ 30, 60, 90, 120, ... ] // array with speed edges trigger for example [kmh]
speedclass indexnumber := 0 // start with lowest speed trigger
v_step := 1 // volume change step level
.....
)
main()
{
while (1)
{
if ((current gps speed -2) > content of speedclass indexnumber) // 3 kmh hysteresis
{
main volume level := main volume level + v_step // relative increasing main volume
speedclass indexnumber := speedclass indexnumber +1
}
if ((current gps speed +2) < content of speedclass indexnumber) // 3 kmh hysteresis
{
main volume level := main volume level - v_step // relative decreasing main volume
speedclass indexnumber := speedclass indexnumber -1
}
}
}
Best Regards

Yes, we need a gps speed based auto volume control app adjusting the manually set volume level. The auto leveling should add or subtract from the level set by user (any level) - this will be a MUST HAVE app on any car stereo!!!

Regular apps are useless (GPS Volume, Speed Volume, SVC+ etc) because Android doesn't control volume on our devices, MCU does instead, as I have found out after buying/trying everything from GooglePlay...
This one didn't work (surprisingly):
MTCDAutoVolume Current Version : v1.0
App that compensates volume according to speed. No Root Required.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...olume-t3630636
https://github.com/f1xpl/MtcdAutoVol...AutoVolume.apk
Will try Gracer's tomorrow and I don't know what else I could try if it doesn't work properly - It has to add or subtract volume depending on speed readings from GPS in a linear manner from the manually set volume as the unadjusted level point.
I really hope someone could code an app with this. This can be a good thing to have.

UPDATE:
I finally can CONFIRM that Graser's app in combination with Exposed does what is expected from auto volume leveling from speed! It works on my Dasaita HotAudio PX5 device. If you have problems upon doing so - check to have an updated MCU and play with the settings a bit (there are just a few but just one wrong can spoil the whole operation).
The volume level adds/subtracts from any manually set volume. Adding and subtracting amounts are preset by user as well as speed steps when to apply volume changes.
THANK YOU DEVELOPERS, THANK YOU!
Now my car is luxurious
PS plus a nice screensaver for my car as well, along the way of getting speed volume...

Hi, where can I find graser’s app?
i have mtcd px5 6.0.1 , i install ( mtcdautovolume 1.1 ) but its not work !! hot to make it work ? thanks
Notes: MTCVolume app sets directly the system volume increments up and down.
Apps that set the relative volume have one problem.
Manually setting the volume removes the relative offset, which means if you want to turn up/down the volume at speed, it suddenly snaps back to the absolute volume level, so it gets a lot quieter. No app seems to be able to set the volume back up without slowing down / speeding up.

one that works best there is. Here I can not say what it is. With all due respect to the work of the MTCDautovolume developer. It should continue to develop its application.

Please help how to install tar.gz and configure or clip video hoe to ?
Thank you very much for your kind support
I have a PX3 7.1.2 MTCE_KLD_V2.73_1
can i install this and get it to work? This is one feature I really miss from the stock unit I had.
If not, can anyone one put me in right direction?
Going try this later, but how is it pulling speed, via CANBUS Or GPS?
It pulls through GPS.. is there any way to get speed from an OBD2 Bluetooth dongle?

Of course there is. In fact, speed is available via CANBUS on most cars, and definitely via OBD2 on all cars. My 20+ year old VW Lupo could do that.
