Lowest volume setting too loud after touchwiz update

Lowest volume setting too loud after touchwiz update.

What app are you using? I notice, for example, in Google Music the lowest setting is so low it's almost inaudible.

Same issue. Stock music app's volume is way too loud for the lowest setting. I use this at night when sleeping. Before, one notch up was perfect. Now it is pretty loud and actually keeps me up. lol

nope. seems as though it only effects tabs with micro sd slots.

What a shame ... I was really looking forward to that kernel he was developing.

I have this problem too both on stock TW and on Starburst. P7510 32gb
My headphones are pretty sensitive so this basically makes the tab useless for audio for me.
Does anyone have suggestions? I have been looking for an app to reduce the volume but nothing has worked so far. Hoping for something that could achieve finer volume steps.

Ya this is an software engineering defect. Its amazing how they can design a volume control like this and think that its is good.

Bump! I'm still experiencing this on Task's 6.0 ROM with Touchwiz and HC3.2. Is there any fix for this?

Is it really that hard to use an equalizer and adjust the main? When is it that you use the lowest setting anyways?

I experience the same thing after update to task rom 6.0 but then i flash stock kernel ukmn and the volume back to normal.

[Q]Why run CM10 over Stock?

I have a question, I just got m nexus 4 and unlocked the bootloader, rooted and have cwm recovery. I came from a samsung galaxy s2 and ran cm10 on that phone and can understand why to run aosp on a samsung touchwiz based rom, BUT why go cm10 on a stock google rom? Besides adding a reboot menu, what does cm10 add extra? How much stability can it actually add to the phone?? Any input?
Also just wondering if franco kernel will work with stock rom?

I've always been a fan of going straight to CM10 or other custom ROMs with my previous phones to improve performance. With the N4 I feel that the stock performance is more than adequate and worth hanging onto. However, in my case, I really like the quick toggle mod that someone made which allows the quick settings tabs to become quick toggles instead of directing you to the settings menu. For this reason I decided to go with the MoDaCo custom ROM Because it is essentially the stock ROM + advanced power menu + quick toggle mod. It's perfect for me.
This go-around I'm going to give CM10.1 a couple months to turn into a 100% solid/bug free ROM before I consider switching to it. Right now people are reporting random weird issues with it such as invalid timestamps on text messages & issues with Wifi.

Adds much more than a reboot menu. Many of the CM10 features still haven't been merged yet either.
My main reasons: I prefer the CM toggles to any app substitute, Profiles, Quiet Hours, the notification light implementation, I'm a bit of a Theme Chooser whore.
There are substitutes for all of those things, but I prefer to have it as part of the system.
There are still quite a few things that are missing however, but they're working hard on making them ready for 4.2.1

^^ Quiet hours, good call. I forgot about that. It is a feature I definitely miss but can do without for now.

Well OP, you kinda answered your own question. It's the features of CM that makes people want to use it. It adds more functionality. Like what someone said in the thread, it's still being merged so it's a work in progress.

Honestly, sometimes I question when the Android team will just start rolling in certain CM features by default.

CyanogenMod has features built in that is not offered on stock. On stock,you would probably have to download several apps just to get the same functionality that CM has.

FWIW I haven't had any notable issues on 10.1 with the exception of the back button not exiting the browser a couple of nightlies ago. Has been very stable thus far.

Maybe if I get bored over the holidays in the mountains I'll give CM10.1 a go and see how it fares.

The one feature I'm missing is the ability to change brightness by sliding the notification bar from left to right.

I miss the custom brightness levels as well, but the N4 screen doesn't seem to be as much of a hog as the GN thankfully.

Agreed. Really liking the nexus 4s screen. It's going to take some time getting used to the blacks, the blacks on gn definitely looked better as my beautiful widgets widget looks weird now. But for brighter colors and for viewing videos, the color reproduction for the ips is pretty astonishing.
Hopefully PGM makes it way to N4, that kernel module was so fun to use on my GN.

Vibration intensity

This app will allow you to change the intensity of the vibration your device gives you, some kernels/mods do this specific feature, but with this app you can change it even on custom kernels or stock roms. You just need root.

A while ago I wrote this app to enhance my personal UX on my N4, I've been told it works well with N5 too, since it might be usefull for some of you guys, I'm sharing it here.
ROOT IS REQUIRED. Please read the app description.

Thanks, that really helped

Working anyone?
All intensities from 1 to 95 feel the same!

Yep working pretty well not to say perfectly.
In case it can help I have Nexus 5 stock rom rooted only.
Maybe depending on how much you changed from stock result could be different...

Maybe you're doing the same mistake as i did.
After you adjust the slider to a new value you need to push the "Set intensity" before you can use the Test button with the new value.
Took me 5 min to realise that.. :|

i need to root for this?
thank you mate

Ya it works amazing on mine and I'm on stock odex with root

Yep, sorry about that, last update changed UI and UX "set intensity" is no longer needed, just select the value and done.

Yep, root is mandatory since it edits system lvl files, since apps can't write on those files, root is mandatory to do so. Sorry if it's an inconvenience. u_u

Great app. I was looking for something like this.

Hey,
I need to make something similar for my HTC one (m8) runnig gpe, the vibration is insane.
Could you shed some light on how this app works?
I'm guessing it's a kernel module which changes the vibration intesity?

Actually it does not play with the kernel at all. Turns out that Nexus LG devices have a file with the intensity, so, basically, this app, overwrites that value on each boot to set the user prefered default and from there the system takes care to get that value and go on.
The file locations it's listed on the "FAQ" part of the app. Some people told me to add support to other devices, but they don't seem to have such file, or at least, not under the same file directory. You could search for it (if it's even there) and If it is (under another directory ofc) I could try to add compatibility to my app and solved.
It actually bothers me that people is rating the app poorly just because they can't read this is ment only for N4 and 5 (since are the only 2 that i know of using that method) ... u_u

Hi All,
work this with AOSP ROM? Where can I find the apk file? I have now no internet connection on my phone, so I could not download it from Store directly.
Thanks in advance!

I use Trickster Mod for controlling the vibration because it also does many, many other things.

Haptic Feedback & Vibration Increase?

I've had my V20 for over a month now and I personally love this phone and have it set up almost exactly the way I like it (just waiting for Xposed), and maybe it's just me but one thing I've noticed is that haptic feedback is so weak (even set to maximum) it's practically non existent. The vibration levels for notifications aren't too bad especially compared to haptic but imo they still could use an increase, so does anyone know if it would be possible to increase the maximum haptic and vibration levels when rooted? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Actually , in turned the vibrate down to about medium. It seems that on high it vibrates very fast and I can't feel it, but when I turned it down I feel it better.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just lowered mine down to try it out and I get what you're saying because idk if it's just in my head but I can already tell a difference while typing this message. I'll give it a try for a while to see if I still notice it over time but it honestly does seem like it made a difference so thanks again for the suggestion, I'd still like to know if there's any way to increase it though because even though what you said seems to have helped it still just feels a little too weak compared to what I'm used to.

Yeah coming from the note 7 the v20 is very weak unfortunately. I could have heard my note 7 vibrate when on a flat surface from another room lol

Notification LED and Navigation leds..So disappointed

God, I'm still using my Oneplus 3t, The Oneplus 5 is sitting in its box.
I couldn't be more let down by the Notification led that they should have called the "I CAN BARELY SEE IT LED"
And the dim blue navigation button lights are so dim compared to the Oneplus 3t white ones as well.
Seriously, It has one job...To NOTIFY...what was the point of making it so dim you can't see it in a lit room unless the phone is in your hand.
I've tried Custom Firmware (Resurrection Remix), I've tried Light Flow...Nothing ...That Dim Led is already at 100% and about 1/4 the brightness of the 3t.
Sadly I come from Australia, Not a county Oneplus sells to so no returning for me.
Thats $770 down the drain, I rely heavily on the NOTIFICATION LED (If you're reading this Oneplus...Thats NOTIFICATION...as in NOTIFYING..like, being VISIBLE)
It's sad, A notification led is one of the things that really separates us from Iphone users.
Maybe with a firmware update but i doubt it...I have the terrible feeling they're at full brightness...But lets hope

I don't mind the capacitive buttons being dim since I turn off lights anyway. But yeah, the notification LED is pretty dim for whatever reason.
I guess the best option for those who rely on notifications is to turn on Ambient Display.

I actually like the navigation leds being on, I set them to be on as long as the screen is on.
I could live with them, but the notification led... It's like what's next.. A camera that doesn't take pictures, a battery that doesn't charge, a speaker that makes no sound.
It's a NOTIFICATION Led, one job.. To be able to notify you ?*

""A notification led is one of the things that really separates us from Iphone users.""
but having a 3T and a op5 in a box. Apple fan boii much, buying phones every year, what a waste/overconsumption.

Ummm, no... I said I have a Oneplus 5 in a box.
I'm a tad confused by your
A) Obvious hostility towards me.
B) Having two android phones makes me an "Apple fan boii" how
I've actually never owned an Apple anything

Using the ElementalX kernel i increased the brightness of the LED. i would say it is more than adequate for my needs at least. Might be worth a try?

I'm also disappointed by the notification led being so dimm..
But if a kernel can brighten it up, maybe OnePlus can do it too.

I'd rather a custom OS, right now it's running Resurrection Remix Official, but not many kernels seem compatible with it.
And unlike RR on the Oneplus 3t, I don't feel it's very polisher on the Plus 5.... The Vibration is a bit glitchy, it tends to skip some key presses.. I mean if you press a key numerous times in a row.. Sometimes you'll get no haptic feedback.
I'm currently exploring other firmwares.
I really miss Xposed Framework ?
I'll let you know how I go.
They're almost unbrickable so I'm pretty gungho about flashing ****.

How did you increase the brighness? According to the commit message, the value in the kernel setting can be set between 1% and 100% brighness level of the stock value, ie no way to increase over stock value. Or am I missing something?

I use EX Kernel Manager. Under Misc. there is a section for Notification LED, fade speed, intensity and fade enable/disable. set my intensity to 9 and all is fine for my needs. On par with my 6P

9 should mean 9% of stock setting, so should be very low.. Must be something I am missing.. ?

It may have been a typo and he meant 90%.
And perhaps stock isn't set to maximum in the first place?

Stock is at 50%, but with light manager you can set to 100% without root or kernel. But that doesn't change enough to make the led good.
