An app similar to Invisibright Pro but for Volume? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use the invisibright app because it gives you the option to stick it in the notifications bar so you can access it whenever you need to change the brightness. I'm looking for a similar app that does the same except this time, its the volume settings, not brightness. My volume rockers have been modded to be used as menu and back buttons, which I find really handy, so I'm left with using recent plus to access volume settings. Sometimes it takes a while to have recent plus start up, and pulling up the notification bar is faster. Is there such an app?

Have you tried this one? Sounds like what you're looking for:

in recent plus you can set it for both volume and brightness all in the same long press

That's what I'm currently using for volume. I don't like it that much though because sometimes it takes forever to show up. The 'long-press' on that app seems to be a 'press for a lifetime' for me.

I emailed the dev about it. Received a reply 5 minutes later (talk about excellent customer service!) He acknowledged my suggestion of being able to change the volume as well, and said that he'll get it working pretty soon.

Hey guys,
I'm working on this today and ran into an interesting issue. Normally, volume rockers can are "smart" by sending a volume up/down event to the currently open app. You'll see this when you hit the rocker while playing music and it knows to adjust the media volume, not the system volume. If I implement this in the slider, I have a bad feeling that the key remap mod will kick in and it'll send a menu button action or something. Can someone (with a Nook) willing to test this out for me give me a quick PM? I only have a Droid Charge.
UPDATE:
nvm, found a much better way of doing it
Thanks.

This is great news, danny. I'm willing to test anything for you, but the thing is I've got my NC bricked just yesterday. :'( I've been up all night trying to fix it! T_T Once I get it up and running again I'll be 100% supporting this project of yours! ^_^

InvisiBright updated
3.3 now has options for volume and new slider height settings (both for tablets). Enjoy!

Epic Ringer / Notification settings

I just did a search and I cannt find my answer.
On my epic I found a setting somewhere to make the ringer and notification volumes change at the same time via the side vol control.
I forgot where I found that. Still have it working on my phone but cannt seem to refind the setting. My girl want me to set her epic this way is the reason I am looking.
Only topic I found on this said it is not possable to do but it is.
Anyone know?
I am running epic expernce with the phoenix kernel. Had this working for a long time now, I think it was prior to useing either of those.
Also using launcher pro.
Thx for any help!

[DEV REQ] Silent/Vibrate/Volume on rocker

I would love to see the old volume rocker control from DI18 incorporated into the new froyo release.
The old volume rocker use to:
The all the way down position was: "Silent All"
Up one position was: "Vibrate Only, no ringer"
Up one more position was: "Ringer On +/- Vibrate"...
When i sleep i like my phone silent without any vibration.
but after i get up i like it to vibrate only (but no ringer), which use to be just a click of the button...
and then when i get in my car i wanted the ringer, which was just another click of a button.
Now its just a pain to make change (vibrate only) to (silent all) setting...
Please help, Thanks!

Wrong section, but +1!
Well if no one decides to take up this project, I can recommend you to try some of the control panel widgets on the market. You can use Extended Controls or System Info Widget. I think they're only like 99 cents each or something. You can just put up a 1x1 widget with a toggle that will do silent/vibrate/normal.

Winning!
Right there with you, i'd love to see a mod to restore this functionality.

been requesting this for a while now. Hopefully the great epic devs can slip it into the newer EC05 roms, especially ACS since that is what I use at the moment. Glad I wasn't the only one dying without a feature that seems so simple, and essential.
Yea, it is an odd function to drop. I use the free Silence widget from curvefish.
Not development, moved to general
Thanks for the sugestion of the app, but it would be nice to be able to just use the hardware rocker.

I posted a request in the Google help forum.
In the mean time I assume(and hope) the more votes we get here, the better chance a developer will pick up this task?!?
An alternate option that would please me just as well would be a long press on the volume down that would toggle vibrate between "never" and "only when in silent mode". That might be easier to develop?
i used" widget locker "from the market for a while it has several options for different lock bars and lock bar options.

Disable volume buttons

Hey Guys
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the volume buttons on the side of the S4 I9505?
Im tired of the volume being changed or muted during the day just because the buttons were pressed by accident.
Any info appreciated.
Chris
hy,
i found no solution for this in stock rom, but in some third party lockscreen-app's like widgetlocker, there is an option for exactly this feature.
I tried this a few minutes ago and it devinitively works without root. Also some aokp/cm - roms offer this option, if I'm not mistaken.
edit: sry i misread! U want to disable volumebuttons general...... my proposed solution was just for phone wake-up / lockscreen
I use Volume Locker for locking the volume. I always keep knocking the volume buttons and this app is great for automatically putting it back.
Thanks guys

[Q] Notification Volume

So I've run across an issue that is quite bothersome to me.
is there no option to make the notification volume change with the ringer volume?
I haven't found the setting anywhere and on both my old htc and samsung devices there was an option, does lg not have one or am I missing it?

If you press the settings cog in the volume slider in the notification Window it let's you change volume for a bunch of different things, I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for.

No, I know how to change the volume.
What I'm looking for is a setting to make the notification volume change at the same time as the ringer volume.

Gotcha, I haven't looked too hard at that, I will take a look when I get a few minutes.
I'm sure there's an app that let's you do this. Have you checked the play store?

Volume buttons question

If I am on my home screen and I use the volume buttons, it only changes the media volume instead of the notification/ring tone volume like I would expect. The only way I can change the notification/ring tone volume is to go into the sound settings menu and adjust the slider. Am I overlooking a way to change what the volume buttons control?

Apparently, that's how Oneplus has set it to work. You'll have to tweak it with xposed/ custom rom/ magisk mod.

Has anybody found a solution to this annoying as hell problem? How do you make the volume side buttons control the ringer volume? Why is there not a choice? Is it that difficult to for the programmers to fix? It's a simple thing. I hate that when you go into settings and control the volume that way IT PLAYS YOUR F&$KING RING TONE!!! That is so stupid! And don't come back with "use your slide switch above the on/off button" because I want to use my volume buttons. Can anyone help? It sucks having to waste so much time to try and find a solution to such a simple request....
Same here. Any software "fix" that bypasses the slider? I just have a bad feeling about it breaking one day...

use a volume app. Also, if you are putting a request do it nicely, nobody is working for you here. We share what we know and nobody owes anyone anything.
That is how oneplus has designed the volume keys to work so complain on oneplus support.

What volume app? I can't find anything that overrides the slider. Allegedly, oxygen slider (xposed module) might be it, but wanted to confirm if anyone here was successful in doing so.

Try this thread - xposed alternative full working
I don't know which app. It has been a long time so I don't know if it exists anymore.
Ended up finding a little app called "silent mode toggle". Basically puts the phone into vibrate mode, which is all I need. Tasker has similar functionally as well. This bypasses the slider (needs to be in the ring mode).
