An app similar to Invisibright Pro but for Volume?

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!

[Q] Using volume button to change notification volume?

I know some people like independent volume settings but I don't. Is there any way to change it so that when I use the volume button to change the volume is also changes the notification volume?

Does that app allow you to "join" the notification volume with the ringer volume so when you push the volume button on the back of the phone, they both change?

I am pretty sure that it does. There are a lot of settings within the app. I paid the 99 cents for the pro version, so I may have more settings then the free version.

Works great.

Hopefully there's a way around it. It is kinda annoying I agree. I think the issue was it maybe was linking the ringer to the notification but our buttons change the ringer. We need it the other way around.

I just wanted to point out that I edited my post to include another app too. I use one from the play store actually, but if this is working (and it should), then it doesn't really matter . This definitely annoyed me too. For a while, I couldn't figure out why notifications were still so loud even when I had ringer on level 1 or 2!! It's so odd that they are NOT linked and have no option. It just makes sense that if you turn the RINGER down, the Notifications would be quieter too. I mean, silencing the ringer will also silence notifications, so it's just inconsistent!
Anyway, rant over. Problem is resolved :good:

Alert slider mapping

I'm currently thinking of a remapping app (remapping as in changing a physical button's output) , but I do not own a oneplus two. Can somebody tell me what the alert slider's keycodes are?
If any of you is willing to help but do not know how to find such info, I attached an apk (that I built from an open source code) to this post. Please install and open the app then change the alert slider state, screenshot the output then send them to me. Also, please state what ROM version you are running.
When the app is finally released to an xda thread, I'll list all the testers there of course.
P.S: The Alert Slider is that new hardware slider that changes sound profiles, in case you didn't already know

Here is the screenshot, hope it helps, makes sense to have the silent mode in the down position.

Swapping the "none" profile and "all" profile was exactly what I was thinking.
Can you please tell me what the output of the other states of the slider was?
EDIT:What you actually sent me was the mapping of the back button

is it possible to map it so loud, vibrate and silent

That is what I am trying to achieve. If you own a One Plus Two, please download and install the apk and send me the screenshots after you toggle each alert slider state

The app does not do anything when toggling alert slider unfortunately.

Wow, that is a very unexpected result ._. I'll have to look into the source code then.
Thanks a lot everyone

This would be genius !
I'm ready to be your beta-tester
OPT with OxygenOS 2.0.2 with Xposed here.

Would be great if we could reverse the mappings, so instead of all notifications with the slider being all the way down it would be all the way up for all notifications.
Slider up: All notifications
Slider middle: Priority
Slider down: Silent

Strange idea, but what if for each slide matched a battery profile, like battery saver, balanced, performance?

I thought about having multiple layout options : battery modes;CPU governors; rotation change etc..
However I still haven't found the alert slider mapping file :/ This is becoming quite frustrating

Will have my OPT soon and will do anything I can to help out with this. Think the All/Priority/None options are not useful at all.

its taking a lot of time ...attached img is for priority ..ie key in d middle..

Only vibrate without silence switch?

Hi all
It seems that the only way to get ring volume switched to vibrate only, is via the switch on the left side of the phone? I understand that this is the intended method, but that vibrate only cannot be configured in the regular profile shocks me?
The silence mode features an icon in the status bar, and enforces a whole set of other options, really? I understand that the switch is a design decision, but that is in no way the same to me as taking away regular well known usage of any android phone since dawn of time - the vibrate option in the normal 'volume profile'....
Any input on this? Am I missing something, or am I the only one having an issue here?
The lack of swipe across status bar to lower screen brightness is a different thing, but I'm sure developers will bring this back, at least with a custom kernel (EX for example).
Kind Regards

Seems like I'm the only person who cares :laugh: Or the thread just drowned :highfive:

I'll Growler to like it... I'm pretty sure..

Actually there's this app that can do this without you touching the switch. Sound Profile. I have no idea what makes it work but it does.
Now if only I could make Tasker do this...

wondering the same, had a similar problem, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3629258
Solved it with tasker.
Trigger "silent ~ off" -> set a non empty ringtone.
trigger "silent ~ on" (this is true for dnd and silent mod): change ringtone to empty (silent) ringtone

I came across the same question and the only way I've found to enable silent/ vibrate mode without the slider is using a widget.

Ok, the attatched screenshot is a catlog of things happening when switching from silent to do not disturb. Notice the easily recognized event at the top, ThreeKeyHW.. That's whats triggering all the following actions. This can be intercepted by Tasker, and manipulated with :good:

why bother reading logcat (which might eat your battery)? for me, testing two variables in tasker allows me to determine the switch position:
%SILENT ~ off we are loud
%SILENT ~ on and %VOLR!=0 we are in dnd
%SILENT ~ on and %VOLR = 0 we are in silent mode

You have more Tasker experience than I do :laugh:
Question, in your opinion, is any other tasker alternative worth spending money or time on, or is it just a matter of learning Tasker? My point being that Tasker is THE tool - but also quite difficult to manage at times... Hard to navigate in, I personally believe. But on the other hand, it can do ANYTHING, which you cannot say about ANY of the alternatives...

Hi,
no, not more experience, but I found a posting for a similar question for the oneplus 3 where someone suggested testing the %INTERRUPT variable to determine if it is on value "priority" (meaning it is in dnd mode). I tested this and just created a task that shows a flash message with a number of variables of which I thought they could be interesting. Turned out that INTERRUPT was never set, but this is how I found out about SILENT and VOLR.
Regarding tasker alternatives: I haven't used an automation tool for maybe three years now, before I had only done simple stuff with tasker, so it was my first pick and it worked nicely - so I cannot say anything about alternatives...

me personally would love just bottom to top: all, vibrate only, nothing. no DND etc. another thing that bothers me is that when in silent/vibrate, I can't get Textra to use a certain pattern for messages coming in. oos defaults to two little vibrations. any ideas?

Is there no one here that can actually help with this? People just keep leaving short oneliners without any substance ("Just apply the thingy and it'll work"). It's not helpful, it's just frustrating as **** since none of us others get this to work.
If you do know how to do this, for real, then share your XML for your profile and/or tasks. Or write up a step by step.

Unlink ringer and notification volume?

Is there a way to do this? In short, I want my ringtone lower and my notifications higher. Is there a magisk module or something for this on OOS? Thanks!

I know using Tasker you can set them separately but I am not sure if the setting will stick.

No i dont think u can do that with tasker if the OS is not supporting. If you know a way that we can do this in Tasker in OOS can u please share it. It would be a great help.

Like I said, you can set them separately but I don't know if the setting sticks. I can't test this as I am in the office currently.
Check my screenshot, you can add the action to set each one.

thanx for the link :good: I've tried it, unfortunately won't support our mobile's alert slider...my phone will ring even when switched to mute and yes, i've checked all the necessary permissions and settings...

Oh, I don't use the slider, so it isn't an issue. I just use the silent tile and nightly quiet schedule when needed. Slider is a cool feature, but I just got used to never using one on any phone and rely on the other method to silent the phone.
Just odd how there is no separate ring/notification like their used to be. Guess Samsung and maybe others people complain about this lack of obvious feature.
