Control media with volume keys on Nougat? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey everyone,
I have finally switched over to Nougat from MM and managed to get most of the functionality (Xposed alternatives) in some shape or form on Nougat.
I am however missing a decent way of controlling media tracks using long volume buttons (Xposed allowed doing it easily).
I tried Pocket Skip Track app and it is a little buggy and does not work everytime. I also tried making a Tasker profile following some of the guides, but am unable to trigger it always (whenever the headphones are plugged in)
Does anybody have a solution for this or perhaps there is a ROM that has this feature?
Apart from that I am quite happy with the upgrade.

I'd like a solution to that problem as well.

So far only superman rom have this wonderful feature i try all apps on playstore but they are all buggy...thanks Luca to make this

migrated to Superman ROM for this feature now. For some reason it was not working straight away but eventually started working and now all is good.
This works for me

I have SuperMan ROM and I can't seem to find the feature you are talking about. What is it called and how do I get to it?
Thank you!

[Q] VoiceDialer

Does anyone have any clue on how to make the voicedialer.apk included in CM based ROMs work on TW Roms? For me, this is the best Voice Dialer app because it is very accurate, and it allows you to activate by Bluetooth button. It also works with the screen off and locked, essential while driving. I extracted the APK from CM10.1 ZIP, and pushed to system/app, but still no joy. It tried to launch, but immediately force-closes. Anybody got any ideas, or better alternatives? It seems like I've tried them all, and this one was always the best, I just like TW ROMs better right now.

[Info] Xposed works fine

Just to let you know.
I rooted my X and installed TWRP.
Then I followed Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-installing-xposed-framework-stock-t3192957
choosed V78-sdk22-arm
Works fine at least with the modules I checked.
There seems to be one issue with X-Privacy. Stopping the APP after changing restrictions seems to be not enough. Sometimes the changes applied until reboot.
With App-Settings I found something similar.
Concerning GravityBox on my OnePlus X, it seems that some options do not work even if there is no error message or so...
For example : coloring icons in the notification bar, and disabling secure sound level has no effect for me.
Also, some additional options added in the notification bar do not show their icons...
Did someone also noticed this?

Gravitybox is designed to work perfectly only with AOSP or AOSP like ROMs. The creators themselves have claimed that it doesnt work perfectly even on CM ROMs. So its no surprise here.
That being said, i still do use Gravitybox on my OPX without issues, albeit i have activated only a bare minimum of tweaks.

Does Pie control from gravitybox work? I've used the one in SlimKat and later resurrection remix and really like how it looks and functions and it's the only missing feature of Oneplus X for me.
Most of the modules work fine but Device Faker made my oneplus x do a bootloop! I had to flash the rom

Anyone using Gravity feature slide on statusbar to change screen?
Dosn't work for me. Any alternative?
Hey guys,
I am using XPrivacy but it is not working properly. Every time I start it a massage pops up saying internal check failed. Also when I set some restrictions to apps they do not work. Any idea what that might be?
@Phoost
Seems like your XPrivacy has problems, too. Have you been able to fix that?
Yes but it's minor. Ignore message and changes apply after restart.
@Phoost and @sexier : are you able to use the on demand feature?
For me, I also get the XPrivacy startup error message, but I get no on demand popups, and so.
In fact, I did some tests, and XPrivacy doesn't seem to work at all.
Other modules are working perfectly fine.
I did open an issue on the XPrivacy's github and trying to figure it out with the devs, but no luck so far :/
Please free to contribute if you have any insights!

"on demand" means asking to approve permission on the fly?
I never used this. I predefine all permission after installation.
I disabled Identification for "Protected App" - > no more pro
I disabled location for GPS Test - > no location
I disabled Internet for Opera - > still loads websites :crying:
So works for some but not all.
Which framework version you are using? V78?
Maybe the old one ist better.

Yes! That’s exactly the same problem that I have. No pop-ups or on-demand rules work. The ones that are marked with a “?".
I am still running an older version of XPosed v75. I did not have the time to make an update yet. On my other phones XPrivacy runs perfectly with v75. I guess an old version doesn’t really help then.
Bad. Hope dev's find something.
Please join the issue on GitHub : https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy/issues/2300
Or create yours if your problem isn't the same.
There are too few OPX users feedbacks on it, need more
Thanks for reporting this.
I add two comments to the thread.
Yep, I saw
Let see if the dev can figure it out. Else I'll switch to CM12.1 as soon as it'll be officialy available.
At least, we know that's a base on which xposed and xprivacy are proved to be working!
I'm starting to think that the way the apps permissions works in OxygenOS, is just messing with xprivacy.

You'll take care about the ActivityManager question?
I don't really know what he is talking about.
Maybe a post in oneplus forum or pm to oneplus member is enough.

Just backup .apk and give to him

Well, I didn't try installing it before posting it here, but now that you said it, I did actually try installing it as a user app (which didn't work, and like you, the app installs but fails to launch).
I thought maybe including the additional library file (librsjni.so) would help, so I whipped up a flashable zip which installed the app as a system app with the library file & flashed it in TWRP. It showed up in the app drawer, but like before, failed to launch.
My best guess is that it needs some dependencies to work properly that are only present in LOS & Custom ROMs based on LOS.

That's a shame. Eleven is my favorite music player by far (I just wish it had built in Chromecast support!), And I've had a hard time finding a suitable replacement for the OP5. But hey, props for trying my friend!
If the apk doesn't install get root and put apk in /system/app then set permissions for apk to 644 (Owner R/W, Group and Global R)
Yeah, but there are few apps like Walkman from sony, we have a cracked version of apk which can be installed in many android device without rooting the Mobile. Is there any chance of getting Eleven music player same way !!??

No worries at all! Here to help. Also, I personally prefer and use Shuttle+ Music Player. Yes, it's paid, but man it's good! And it has the Chromecast support that you're looking for + works like a charm on my OnePlus 5!

I think you missed my post above where I mentioned I tried doing exactly that and the app just doesn't start. Installation is not an issue even as a user app, making it launch is the deal-breaker as of now.

I think you mean ported not cracked. Proper ports add the missing libraries/dependencies to the apk so that the app can be installed as a standalone app on any device and it'll work, since the libraries/dependencies needed are bundled with the apk, and need not be present in the ROM being used.

No problem at all! Also, yes, I read that the PA team had tied up with the dev of Shuttle. Good stuff!
I installed PULSAR from the play store and so far it replaces without problems the eleven. I am very satisfied

I've been using the free version of Shuttle on and off for years. It's honestly my second choice in the line-up of music players out there, but I did have a couple issues with it (mostly artwork related). I might as well purchase it and send some money the dev's way — he still did a pretty damn good job on it, and I'd like to see him continue working on it, even if Shuttle is open sourced now.
Funny how I'll spend hundreds of dollars, no questions asked, on a phone, despite the fact that my previous one was still in perfect condition and could still hold its own against current choices on the market, yet the idea of spending one measly dollar on an app makes me hesitate. :Confused:

But now bought Oneplus 5 thought i could find that Music player out hea. hope some day someone might build one. No worries i will wait but thanks for all your response happy for that

Soft navigation buttons "One button Nav" in custom ROMs

I like the Moto G5p feature "One button Nav". Is this still available on custom roms ? .
Clarification of what I am referring to - it replaces the Back:Home:Menu (triangle:circle:square)soft buttons with swipe gestures on the finger print sensor.
I would like to know that too. As far as I know, it's not available in any other custom roms.
It is available on every (or almost every) custom rom.

Can confirm in nearly every ROM. Usually in the settings application under either gestures or buttons.

I have my Moto G5+ for around 3 days, today I'm getting stable with Ressurection Remix, Magisk working well, Android Pay also, and your features are there too. I just can't figure how to make 1080p 60fps recording, but everything else is flying. cheers

Oreo and Android Auto

Anyone using Android Auto with the Oreo ROM? Wondering if there are any issues or if Waze and Dialer will work properly now?
Rebranded to L29-C432 so might as well give a few more things a try, but the fRomFuture ROM I'm using is pretty stable so want to check before I jump to another...

I'm currently using it, the dialer issue is still there (I am using the modded Google dialer from Martin.077 to solve that problem).
Waze behaves the same for me as before - works fine for about a month, sometimes longer, and then one day just black screens and then the only fix is to re-install Android Auto.
I now also have a new problem with Google Play Music with the Oreo update - it does not output any sound when connected via Android Auto. Navigation prompts still work though.
The fix is to use an equalizer app - no idea why it works, but it does, I'm using Equalizer FX.
So yeah, no issues solved, and one additional one added in my case.
