Anyone knows how to make the shortcut on the desktop for the "wireless stereo" for the BT headset to turn it on and off in WM6?
Right now I have to:
1. Open Comm Manager
2. Click settings
3. Choose Bluetooth
4. Choose headset from the list (in my case S705)
5. Tick/untick Wireless Stereo
6. Tap Save
7. Close "Settings"
8. Close Comm Manager
Is there a software which allows to "record" this kind of seqence of taps and assign an icon on the desktop to it? (using Pocket Plus)
Yes, I have tested btIO -- and unfortunately it does everything except what I really want - You can not control the "wireless stereo" ON/Off with it. - Under WM6 on Athena the Audio2BT turns on voice recognition, Audio2Device does nothing. Options below work ok - audio GWCC_on, and Radio GWCC off.
I have reported this problem to the creator of this handy utility...
In the meantime - any way to record macros? - I prefer to have an icon on the desktop doing just one thing, not to choose from the list - it is difficult to use the list in the car when I want to turn it on quickly.

You can use BTIO (search forum) for easily turning BT on/off, doing BT audio, etc. Give you a little icon the your phone that you can manipulate BT services with.
You can use
http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/buttonmapper.html Vito Button mapper to record macro's...
"ButtonMapper also features macros recording to assign a sequence of stylus taps and perform them all at once with a single press of a hardware button."
So I worked with others on this and have successfully come up with a solution to this problem.
Step one is to download the attached file and extract the files to your SD card.
Step 2 is to run your msvc1.6 .cab install.
After reboot run we run the extracted .cab files.
First run the Voice Command Apache Fix . cab install
then go into your button setup in control panel and set button 1 to start menu and the first button 5 to none.
Next run the LennySH VoiceCommand WM6 Fix .cab install
now soft reset.
Next you need to run the IDTransferV1[1].cab
After install it may ask you to soft reset... this is fine.
Almost there.
Now go into file explorer and find the IDtransfer icon in windows/startmenu/programs
copy that file and go to windows/startup and paste the program in there.
Soft reset one more time.
Now when your phone reboots it is almost ready.
You will have IDTransfer come up and u need to check Enable and click on hide. If you ever soft reset you will have to repeat this process to keep IDTransfer running in the background.
Now to go your control panel and click on phone and set your ring type to ring and ringtone silent.
next we go to the control panel again and select voice command.
under voice command select phone and options.
check Announce incoming calls
click ok to save and again ok to save
close out of the control panel
soft reset
when IDTransfter comes up select enable and click ok.
Now go into your BT pairing and remove your existing BT device and then re-add it.
After that you should be in working order and the voice dial and call announce works fine.
What exactly does this fix?
When you say fixed, what exactly are you fixing? What is broken in my view is that when I place a call by bluetooth, the "voice in my head" (AKA my bluetooth earpiece) repeats my request back, it might even ask for more details, (i.e. "work", "home", "mobile" etc.) and I say "Yes" at which point the earpiece goes deaf. And when it can't hear my response it shuts off. Are you saying this fix, fixs this?
finally you got it working
thank you so much it only took me 4 hours to find this
but everything works like it should
Voice Command Fix
I tried this and followed directions exactly, but when I got to the following step "Settings" freezes and I'm not able to configure Voice Command causing me to have to soft reset and am not able to complete the steps.
"next we go to the control panel again and select voice command.
under voice command select phone and options.
check Announce incoming calls
click ok to save and again ok to save
close out of the control panel"
Somebody mentioned a registry tweak for sound volume on 614c. There is a key located somewhere in HKEY_Local_machine that U can edit and change a value from 3 to 6 and increase the volume significantly. But I can't find the deamn thing. Anybody knows where to find it?
614c Sound
I have seen a post about changing registry keys in Local Machine Registry in Control from P to blank, as in delete the P which takes the volume out of "Phone" mode. I have not seen the 3 to 6 post, I will look for it.

If you are trying to use BT speakerphone, Install the Bluetooth Audio cab by BVRP. I am able to use the BlueAnt Bluetooth Supertooth3 now.
Is there an application or way to change the behavior of the HTC volume control? I like to listen to soft music, but with the volumebuttons on phone or headseat you can only change volume in steps of 3 stripes.
I always need to adjust it to the last 1 or 2 stripes manually through the touchscreen.
FOund a way to lower volume of the musicplayer overall which kind of has an effect, but the lowest volumes are hardly touched.
Have been searching for a solution but cant find any. Preferrably I would like to use a regfix in stead of extra software.
There is a registry edit you can do that will increase ringer volume. If you want to try that here are the instructions, follow them exactly, (at your own accord). If you do it exactly, you wont have any problems.
First off get a registry editor http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Install that on your phone, put the cab file onto your phone by connecting to your pc or mac, drag the cab onto your internal storage, open it, and install regeditor onto Internal storage.
Next, open PHM reg edit.
Follow these intructions: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring (press the + sign to open each folder, and press on the word Ring to open it's contents)
in there you will see in the bottom half of the screen, something that reads InitVol, press that, and a new screen will pop up. Under Volume data it will read the number "3", change that (by using the up/down arrows), to something such as 7 or something and press OK, exit out, then restart your phone. Your ringer volume will be higher.

I think he is asking if there is a way to change the volume "steps" meaning, when you press volume up, it goes up quite a bit. He wants it to increase less.
Yeah there is.
Use the stylus to change the volume instead of the hard keys on the side of the device. A precise finger tap also works in place of the stylus.

Even you change the volume by just one bar in the backend it is still only 5 steps total. Windows Mobile doesn't offer smaller steps. HTC Volume just fakes it by using more steps but at the end it rounds it to the next matching volume out of the 5 possible.
So, after much tinkering I've figured out the definitive way to boot your headphone volume, that can likely be applied to other things such as the speaker and the handset volume.
***MAKE BACKUP OF ANY FILE YOU MODIFY - A BACKUP METHOD IS INCLUDED BELOW***
What you need:
Rooted Phone
FX File Explorer
FX File Explorer ROOT ADD-ON
5 minutes
1. Download and install the apps linked above. I chose that file manager because I've confirmed through a lot of use that it will not truncate your files leading to a bootloop and it does not modify your permissions when editing the file.
2. Open File Explorer. Choose 'System (Root)', grant access, then navigate to 'etc'.
(/system/etc)
3. Tap the overflow dots in the upper right of the screen and enable 'Mount Read-Write'. Click through.
4. Scroll down to your 'mixer_paths.xml' and long press on the file. Select 'Archive' and confirm. Do not change the type, as the Tar/BZip will leave your permissions intact. This is your backup.
5. Tap the 'mixer_paths.xml' file to open in the text editor. You can pinch to zoom in and out to make it easier to see if you've already changed your DPI settings.
6. Tap the edit button in the upper right. Once in edit mode tap the pencil icon in the upper right. Use the magnifying glass to find and search for 'lg rx device' (without quotes).
It would seem that the values under this header are the ones that actually do anything for our phone, though I've only tested the headphones myself.
7. Scroll down from 'lg rx device' until you find <path name="headphones-advanced">
8. Once you are there, you can modify 'RX1' and 'RX2' volume values to boost them. I have mine set to '94', though you may want to try different values yourself to compensate for distortion... Perhaps a bit lower. The default value is '80'.
(I would definitely suggest playing around with this, because with certain music genres or settings on your equaliser/Viper the distortion can range from not bad to absolutely horrendous.)
9. Tap the overflow dot menu in the upper right corner to save the file.
10. Reboot your phone and enjoy!!
This can also be combined now with the Xposed module 'Volumesteps+' or 'LG G4 Tweaksbox' for finer audio control. Not to mention Viper4Android and Poweramp.
V4A with Poweramp guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62107040&postcount=109
Props to @phillymade and @jesssiii for spurring me to dig into this.
(Note: There are also 'HPHL' and 'HPHR' volume values, that I believe should control your individual left/right headphone volumes. I haven't tested, but based on what I've seen elsewhere in the Nexus 6/G2 forums you could probably try altering those values *instead* of the 'RX' values. This is a really good starting point overall for those who like to tinker.)
EDIT 04/FEB/2016:
Just followed my own tutorial again. It all functions on 5.1 with an H812. This time I set my RX volumes at '89' and my HPHL/HPHR at '21'. They seem to function independently just fine, so you can try one or the other. I tried higher values on each and the distortion is just gross. Even on these numbers I may need to tweak again so I can comfortably set volume on max without distortion worry. It really does depend on the track too, as there's less range needed with some genres.
I am still looking for the suround sound mod for this file. Any idea for how to get the ear piece to play music? By the way, thanks for the mention. Glad some of us found this useful.

Haha, honestly not a clue. I was really just determined to get the volume sorted out without changing 50 different values at once. It's a bit annoying as I needed to test each value individually and reboot after every change.
There seems to be a lot of editing of mixer_paths.xml by many people, but there is **** all for actual documentation or meaning for the vague naming conventions. I've dug through XDA and the internet trying to find something to spell out what the variables actually mean and I've found nil.
Please by all means tinker and lets us all know the results
EDIT: I should also mention that I'm not even sure if the two 'RX' values mentioned are linked and need to be edited together. I have not tried them individually, but i figured they were under same header so may as well.
Cmon, cmon, give us some settings and lines to modify to boost speaker volume
Great job btw with the headphones
Any option to increase the stepping of the volume? Currently it's 0-7 (as checked from tasker). I'd like to have a finer tune possibly 0-15 or 0-20

Me too.
There's an Xposed module but it doesn't seem to work at all from my testing.
Dam good... Working so well. I'm using Poweramp with your values set to 94. The stock music player distorts sounds while playing that loud. Power amp gives a good feedback to these settings and of course your in built settings for the equaliser.
Volumesteps plus from xposed module works like a charm if u enable lg compatibility option.
I I've set all volume steps to 35 with it.

I don't know if you've ever seen it, but with the LG G3 there was s sound mod similar to this one that you posted. There's a whole guide on what specifically needs to be altered. What I'd like to know if editing the G4 mixer_path in a similar style to the G3 would cause any problems or not. Also, what difference does V4A with PowerAmp make? Is it better sound quality? I have PowerAmp and I really like it's equalizer so I'm curious to know if V4A will make it better.

Yes, I based this off the G2/G3 forum posts I found, but the mixer_paths.xml is different so it required a lot of digging and testing.
I do not know if any of the other changes that may be mentioned for the G2/G3 would work, as the file is quite different and more complex. The values that seem to effect our phone are specifically labelled under the 'lg rx device' header I mention. In my quest for seeking out the volume boost for the headphones I couldn't get anything outside of that header to actually cause a change, or if it did it wasn't something I was able to notice.
I'd suggest you make a back-up of the file and poke-around. If you're able to figure anything else out please share!
As for Viper4Android, it's a sound processor. Currently I'm not even using an equaliser in PowerAmp, just a few settings in V4A that someone on XDA posted as a suggestion for the G4 and it's done wonders. Though, the tweaking can be a bit overwhelming if you're not familiar with it.
