I don't find any "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=......" or "...... music_vol_steps=....." settings in the A7 build.prop.
I added these lines to my build.prop to increase the steps from the default (which appears to be 7) to 30, but saw no change after reboot.
Is anyone aware of where the size of the volume steps is set, so I might make the steps smaller in adjustment?
Thanks

Try and see if ro.config.media_vol_steps and ro.config.vc_call_steps works for you.

Tried it as you typed and also ro.config.vc_media_steps=30
but neither made a difference. I suspect it is set somewhere in the SystemUI where I don't have access.

I've just tested this on B08 rooted and it works are you sure you've disabled system write protection so that your build.prop changes survive a reboot?

I'm good there.
Thinking back tho, I only checked the ring tone steps from the home page (and that wasn't one of the volume adjustments made), so very like that build.prop edit DID work for what it was set for. I'll try again.
BTW, did you use the "media" or "music" entry?

'media' as the 'music' variant doesn't seem to work on newer iterations of Android any more.
ro.config.media_vol_steps=80
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=40
These settings work for me.
I just found this thread and I'd like to make this change on my phone too.
I find my phone has to go up to about 80% max volume before I can really hear things on the headphones/earbuds and at that point, it's only a couple clicks away from max volume.
I'm not very familiar with Android stuff yet, so could somebody provide me with some very basic step-by-steps on how to do this or where to find the file to change?
My phone is the US version, running B20 with locked BL but is rooted.

The suggestions in this thread only change the increments between volume steps, NOT overall volume. Good luck!

It's pretty straight forward since you are rooted: use a File Manager & Text Editor to add the lines below to /system/build.prop Save & then reboot. Your option as to the number of steps.
It is always good practice to make a nandroid backup prior to making changes to give you a recovery point in the event of a mistype or other error. Goodluck
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=30

I did as suggested but it didn't seem to change anything for me.
I had to use the command to unlock system file changes first, because the change wasn't sticking after reboot at first.
I put those 2 lines at the bottom of the /system/build.prop file
Is it working properly on your phone?
Edit:: Scratch that, i was looking at the ringtone slider rather than the media/apps volume control.
Thank you!

Yep, changing ringtone steps is tougher. It takes an edit of a System UI .jar file or the use of an Exposed Module.
Glad these worked for you!

Hello,
I have a question. Maybe someone knows on this forum???
Where can I find the keys which change the speaker icon in the taskbar? Next tot the phone signal there is a speaker icon. It changes to vibrate and silence when selected. Which keys in the registry do this? How is this icon changed?
I kow it is possible, because some apps support this, but I can't find how to do!
Thanx for anyones help!
No one knows? Anyone should......
Where is this one switched in the registry? Which value changes???
Hope some can help!
Phone Profiles from JGUI can do.... So someone should know about this...
Help would be really appreciated, then developing can go on!!! With I hope an excellent product for everyone!

Sorry, don't get your point exactly! I try to let the icon (volume icon) get changed programmaticaly, like it changes when changing the volume to vibrate or off.
I suspect that it is done bu the registry! Any other ideas? Anyone knows how this is done? Someone should know....
Are you actually wanting to mute the volume aswell ?
Try looking in HKey_Current_user\Control Panel\Volume (don't have a PPC here atm, so can't check)
Otherwise, I would export your registry, change the setting to vibrate manually, then export again. Copy both these to your PC and compare them.. there are many programs that can do this for you to make life easy
well maybe it's a function in the api / sdk / framework of the pocketpc phone edition
whats make you think it's set in the registry?

Well, that was the first thing that came to me. I saw it in the application of JGUI I stated above and though that it should be a registry value. I couldn't think of any SDK / Framework / API, because that would make it almost impossible to implement it like this.
The volume can be muted as well, but for now the muting volume and vibration is done already, but I am still looking for how to change the picture of the volume icon.
Rudegar, do you have any idea then???

The key you gave me indeed changes when setting some different volume settings. But I didn't find any key yet in that place which changes the picture I mentioned. Anyone?
Why could no one tell me about this? No developer has ever tried to hack this picture? Any ideas are welcome!
may lightning strike me down for posting a microsoft link here
but maybe the today screen is what you need to be able to edit to get what you want.

What is doing the trick then? Why can't I manage to change these icons until now? Anyone??
those icons are located in one of the OS dlls. I believe that it's in the mfce300.dll Maybe you can change it creating a .mui for that dll but I'm not sure.
I've got a question: when my TyTN was in for repair, I used a Nokia E61. It had a cool feature:
whenever you don't use the device for 30 seconds, the backlight would "fade out" to the minimum (not 0, but 1 on a scale of 10). Now that I have my TyTN back; I sort of "miss" that in my TyTN. Is ot possible to create something that would do this?
Ooh. That is a pretty cool feature.
I second the request.
Suprised I haven't seen that yet.
that means an process should always regulate the backlight and but it back to maximum as soon as an input happens. sound a bit like wasted cpu load
edit: i want it! ^_^

mmm on my PC I have this option switched on. Tried it with Resco Explorer on the TyTN, and who could have guessed: I have the files.
Now the next issue: where do I put them? Tried the /windows directory, but I thought it better not to replace the existing backlight.exe without "proper guidance". Anyone has experience?
<edit> Heck, tried it anyway. I can't open the backlight settings now... (thank god I made a copy of the original backlight.exe).
Any advice?

If it disabled your backlight setting that's a good sign, there must be another file referenced in the mui which needs to be included. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Stynos I sure hope you did do a backup of your old backlight files. If you haven't, you can probably get them back with recovery software or from someone with a TyTN. I should of added a warning, just thought it went without mentioning.
removing these "new" files and soft reset should restore system ones.....ehhh..
btw, it is not working on wizard, too...
There's another files in the directory called "backlight.dll" maybe include that one too.

What option tabs do you have under Settings/System/Backlight ?
I've got |Brightness|Battery power|External power|
In Settings/System/Power I have |Battery|Advanced|
If you've got these same settings, one of them might be conflicting with the other.
For example I've got Settings/System/Power|Advanced| "On battery power" set to "Turn off device if not used for 5 minutes"
Then in Settings/System/Backlight|Battery power| set to "Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec
The last setting just lowers the backlight

Your last setting is "Turn off backlight", I thought it would add an option to dim the screen to a lower backlight setting. Because I have the turn off backlight feature

The setting says that, but it doesn't actually turn it off. It just lowers it to 1 on a scale of 10 (I can still see my today screen). Tapping the screen or pressing a button lights it back up.
If you want a silky smooth touch experience with your touch panel, one of the following should help you:
1. Align Screen Method
2. Registry Hack
Method 1.
Settings>>System>>Screen>>Align Screen
Tap on the crosses very very lightly. The harder you tap, the less sensivitive your screen will be set.
Method 2.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
Set the value to 80866 in Decimal
Thanks to this thread here
Here's the cab.
The difference in the methods are that the reg edit sets values to max, the alignment sets back to default range.
Will test tonight and report back.
**Edit**- Seems to work pretty well setting to max value via cab.
Not groundbreaking but somewhat more responsive, not that it was bad to begin with.

Yes, looks like it has improved things - but I haven't had much chance to test it.
Before, I would have occasional trouble getting screen to 'react' to a tap - that hasn't happened since I made the change, and it feels more 'positive' in use.

I looked into the cab,and apparently it sets it to -1.
Interestingly
I was just viewing various system registry... and came across some keys that I've never before noticed in the past.
They really aren't too outlandish, but I'm wondering if folks are interested in "testing" what exactly these registry edits "do" in terms of whether or NOT they are enhancements or NOT much of anything.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ALTERATIONS TO THE SYSTEM REGISTRY IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ADVANCED WINDOWS MOBILE CAPABILITIES!
Now, having said all of that... here are a few of those interesting "tweaks" I've come across:
1.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd: WM7KeybdLayout - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... perhaps if "enabled" by using "1" as the replacement value, something "cool" may happen.
2.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch: Disabled - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... and I'm not entirely sure what this COULD allow your system to do, but it may be "cool" also.
3.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Performance: Available RAM on boot - "327274496"
By default this registry value is LIST ABOVE, and perhaps editing this value, and making it larger could allow for a more "hasty" booting process.
4.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\WebSnapShot: Enabled - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... but I'm wondering if this will allow for some kind of built-in screen shot function to "snap" thumbnail images of your online browsing history. Assumed value to "enable" it, should be "1".
5.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell: AnalogClock - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... so I figure changing this value to "1" might "create" some kind of analog clock on for Manila.
6.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell: HasKeyboard - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... and to be quite honest, this seems pretty obvious that it will "allow" or display the keyboard somewhere on the "shell" of your device. Assumed value to "enable" it, should be "1".
7.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
This ENTIRE key has some pretty interesting settings that can be adjusted for advanced or unseen backlight settings.
8.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\AllLEDMgr
Here is the key in which you can adjust the LED settings such as interval.
9.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Audio\SoftwareMixer: SampleRate - "268435456"
The default value is listed above, but my query involves whether or not tampering with this could resolve the "audio delay" for some users.
10.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power
Here is the key in which you can adjust the values to be labeled for battery power settings. HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW. The percentage before the system provides a warning can be changed.
11.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display
Here is the key in which you will find a majority of your advanced display settings for your device.
12.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\DSM
Here is the key in which I believe you might find another possible solution for the audio delay, considering one of the string values is "250" as a file queue setting.
13.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\USBtoPC
Here is the key in which you'll find the way to REMOVE or otherwise disable the "popup" window that appears whenever you connect your device via USB to a desktop PC.
14.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\MASD
THIS KEY, THIS KEY RIGHT HERE FOLKS... this is VERY important for those of you who are trying to figure out what "official" version number of specific services is currently installed on your device.
15.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\OEM Links\T-Mobile Help - "0"
Enabling this key by changing the value to "1" should provide for a direct system link to the T-Mobile support network for the HD2. This is very similar to the Microsoft error reporting services.
16.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar: ShowLunarCalendar - "0"
By enabling this, you should be able to have the Lunar Calendar displayed within the HTC system calendar... among other things. Assumed value to "activate" this should be "1".
17.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome
Here is where you'll find a laundry list of options to make changes to the original WM6.5, "Titanium".
18.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\ImageSendSize
Here is where you'll find 3 sub-keys that contain resolution values that can be altered in order to provide a "bigger picture" for MMS or uploads.
19.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image
This key will open up a list of options that will allow you to change various settings for image capture and resizing.
20.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas
In this key you'll find options that will allow you to make changes to the picture size for contacts.
21.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE
Here are more device settings for in-call and beyond.
ENJOY!
Oh, and don't hesitate to leave a bit of feedback. Thanks.
I am patiently waiting for you to try these and update the post.
I sure as heck don't plan to "play" with my registry
As soon as the store calls to tell me that mine is *FINALLY* in, I'll be happy to test some of those out. As long as you back up your registry before you do anything (and aren't afraid of a Hard Reset as a last resort), there shouldn't be any issue trying these...any of the changes you make can be reversed that way.

Agreed fellas. This stuff seems interesting. I haven't played with these listed items just yet. I was so exhausted last night while skimming through tons and tons of registry keys... that I may have gotten a little desperate to post this rather than test each one.
Some are just useful tips, but others I have not before seen on the EURO model of the HD2. For instance, the WM7 keyboard... that's rather curious, huh?
5 - puts tiny analog clock where digi clock is by battery
6 - for phones with hardware keyboards
14 - can change that to fake any system info you like
18 - doesnt necessarily work. best way ive yet to find to fix the small mms size on some networks is the mms userprofile tweak that reports it as a diamond, and the mms useragent as a nokian95. (I can tfind the link, sorry)
3.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Performance: Available RAM on boot - "327274496"
By default this registry value is LIST ABOVE, and perhaps editing this value, and making it larger could allow for a more "hasty" booting process.
When I looked I had a lower value, "281640960". I increased it to "327274496" startup seems a bit faster, not much. I'm gonna try increasing it later. On another note, slide to unlock seems to be faster. Of course this could all be in my head.

This looks suspiciously like overclocking to me. If it is, I doubt that the S2U being faster is in your head...
Are you sure that "on boot" only means during the bootup process and not the original RAM available before the processes kick in?

What's weird though is that the value keeps changing, on every boot it's a different value. On the last boot, it was 280760320.

Thanks for the reports.
And yeah, I noticed that as well... yet my value is always relatively in the same demographic in terms of "high" or "low".
But yes, it is some "lowbrow" version of overclocking, but as far as I know... it only pertains to the RAM available during and shortly thereafter a booting process is complete. It's like tweaking the allocated resources that "HTC Sense" used each time it booted up.
Awesome find. looking forward to what will be unconvered
I have a few friends skimming the registry keys day n' night as well... it's just very, very exhausting to read thousands of lines of coding.
I doubt I'll be updating the OP with tons of additions, but I'll certainly add to it, should something reasonably decent come to my attention.
I would like to add something that also seems interesting
HKLM/System/Autoupdate: 0 <-- I wonder what 1 does.. I just set to 1, will update as i hopefully receive updates
PS: I'm not sure if its this that caused this, but my phone just locks on slide to unlock.. As soon as i try unlocking the screen turns off.

Bump.
Anyone found any interesting tidbits as of yet?
I've been playing around with an app called "Settings Database Editor" and found some very cool tweaks that don't require root. It does require you to run "adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" on a computer though. Also sidenote, I'm not the creator of this app just stumbled across it on the play store and found some really cool things that it enables you to tweak on the S8.
In the tab "global" there are values for "transition_animation_scale", "animator_duration_scale", and "window_animation_scale" if you have development options enabled then you're probably familiar with these settings but with this you can tweak it to the exact scale you'd like instead of being limited to 7 different preset scales.
And in the tab "global" there is a value called "display_size_forced" by looking at the value set it seems to be what Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution is set to, maybe this will allow a wider range of resolutions instead of the 3 presets we get?
There's a bunch more tweaks, it's worth a look through

It does require you to run "adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" on a computer though. Also sidenote, I'm not the creator of this app just stumbled across it on the play store and found some really cool things that it enables you to tweak on the S8.
In the tab "global" there are values for "transition_animation_scale", "animator_duration_scale", and "window_animation_scale" if you have development options enabled then you're probably familiar with these settings but with this you can tweak it to the exact scale you'd like instead of being limited to 7 different preset scales.
And in the tab "global" there is a value called "display_size_forced" by looking at the value set it seems to be what Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution is set to, maybe this will allow a wider range of resolutions instead of the 3 presets we get?
There's a bunch more tweaks, it's worth a look through

Are you able to change the quick toggles to less than 6? :silly:

Yup there if you look there is an option called qs_tile_column, qs_tile_row, and qs_tile_column_landscape under secure. Just make sure not to set it to 1 otherwise SystemUI will go into a crash loop and renders your phone completely useless until you use adb to change the settings back. If you don't have usb debugging on you may be forced to do a factory reset

So I cant have just one row of tiles? Also, just a bit confused on how to actually use the app. I plus my phone into my PC and run some command in CMD? I just want like a 1*4 (x,x,x,x) How would I add tiles back if I wanted them?

The crash might only happen with columns, don't really want to mess up my daily driver again

You do know in developers settings you can change the dpi to what ever you want?

You're mistaken, display_size_forced isn't the dpi.

Changing the number of QS columns is totally possible using the System UI Tuner app in the Play Store, I've successfully changed mine to 7 columns, but I've also tested it with as little as 3 columns.

i was hoping this tool would allow me to change the default sms app to hangouts, however, the editor is not preserving my change (and yes, i issued the required command). does anyone have a suggestion to fix this? thanks.

Google took out support for hangouts as an SMS app the end of may. It is no longer possible to use hangouts with an actual phone number unless it's a Google voice number
You can use this method to change the default install location. Just throwing that out there, it's under Global in the app. You can also add your own settings, if I knew what the hell I was doing I'd add them, but have to imagine if I play around with Tasker or extract activities and intents from other apps that use secure settings, etc... This might give us at least some flexibility. I am beyond frustrated with lack of root on this phone, coming from LG v10, I was really relying on the Galaxy community to come through on this device. Still holding out hope.

I also just used this to turn off the Brightness Warning, under Global I went to "limit_brightness_state" and changed "80, 80" to "100,100"... warning gone.
The new Update from T-Mobile broke the changes I made here in quick settings. It's now just a blank box entirely. Damn
Nevermind went in and change to 5 and then back to 7 and all is well again

Noticed this too but not until after I got recent tmo update. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot but it's either related to the update or the setting reverts on reboot. Seems like one of those settings it'd be better to change with a script on boot. Man I miss root. I had successfully changed all settings again after tmo update but reboot killed it. I'm gonna try grant permissions via adb again to see if the settings will stick at some point...ah well

I haven't updated on tmobile and it still happened. I believe it's a on reboot thing. What's weird is in the app it still shows my settings to 100,100. I'm going to try to set it again to see if its an error in the app showing wrong values. Because I notices when you change the tether requirement to 0, it always switches back to 1
Update: I just checked the app and now it's showing null for my limit brightness again. Put it back to 100, 100 and its working fine. Will try to see if it sticks on reboot
Double update : settings stayed after boot

It's weird man. One thing I noticed would looking into something else was that under apps inactive app in developer settings the database editor was some how set to inactive. I'm guessing it could be a battery thing maybe due to power saving settings. Maybe need to turn off all battery optimization for this. I'll gonna hopefully used Tasker to automate changes at boot and keep active.
Add personal mode tile
I want to add PersonalMode using the same procedure.
Plz can you help me with the exact string to add in setting db

try adding or moding this setting under (secure) without quotes "sms_default_application" and the setting value is
"com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer" if you use the hangouts dialer.. if not then "com.google.android.talk" for hangouts..
Hi everybody, i Have a Honor 8 and I used settings database editor to hide navigation bar using the command hide_virtual_key (Value = 1). And it worked perfectly.. but when I wanted to recover it, it dosn't work .. i used value 0 .. with the app and using abd shell .

I'm not sure if this will work, but try setting it back to defaultand install systemui tuner and messing with the immersive mode setting. Also, enable the touch bar (the new Oreo setting that gives you the circle that acts like the soft keys.)
Why did you even disable that in the first place? If you want it fully back, you have to reset your phone.
