You can do that in GravityBox or modify the prop manually.
I tried to do that in GravityBox already but it isn't working for me (I am on Oreo so maybe it works fine just in older Androids?). Anyway I will try manual modify later yet.
It's worked for me. I can't double check though because I switcher to Pie.
I use PowerAmp Player as it has a nice Volume Steps option in its settings. It's very good.
I tried build.prop mod, it didn't work for me. (no Magisk, SuperSU).
Thanks for the tip but I want it to be set globally (video players/games, etc) not in music player only.
In the end I think volume steps can't be changed in prop.build on G6 (because line "ro.config.media_vol_steps=[number]" is missing).
Anyway I found a solution working for media Volume settings = Precise Volume apk.
You can make some presets with fixed volume or start apk and set it manually (default is 100 steps for 100% volume).
There is also option to set precise volume changes by pressing Volume keys: "Volume Button Override [ALPHA]".
...available in pro version (alpha = it may be buggy)
Recommendation = press Volume keys for each Volume level instead of press and hold them (otherwise it will work like it did before).
After short testing this = it works (only visual slider is moved to next stage after 10 steps). I keep this off though yet.

HTC volume control always irritated me because by default it controls ringer volume, not system volume.
And guess what ? There is simple registry entry for that !
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\DefaultPage
Change from 1 to 0. Softreset and you are good to go. I've just found it out, so stay if you can, you can help me testing possible conflicts with misc situations/applications.
PS. It looks on my screen like there is space in middle of 'defaultpage' .. it is not ! No idea why it looks like that. That values should be there, you don't create any new keys or something.
this do the same as turning off the single volume setting?
No .. you have two sliders. But if you press the volume keys, it controls system volume, not ringer volume (as it does without the tweak).
Thanks, what a helpful tweak, indeed!
great ! very helpful
Ok .. I think it works in every situation. Haven't found single problem during weekend.
Not sure if I get this...but if I turn off the single volume settings, my vol buttons only change the system volume by default, unless I click on the ringer tab.
Maybe they changed it ? Mine always moved ringer first. I have 1.43.479.2 ROM.
Might there be a registry tweak for the number of steps for the volume button? I generally listen to music with the screen off. If I want to change the volume using the physical button I am limited to 5 steps. However, the volume control for the HTC player has 15 steps; much more usable. Is there any way to change the button increments to 15?
Thanks in advance.

It looks like if you go to the registry you can change where you want the small volume control used in music player to appear and add it to other apps. So hopefully someone will be able to figure out a way to make it appear all the time.
/edit: this guide is now obsolete because Xposed Additions now has button remapping with some advanced options, which also seem to enable volume wake on my HTC One
If you hate locking and unlocking your HTC One with the Power button, you can change that quite easily int for example Volume Down.
ButtonRemapper would be the easiest method, but it doesn't work with the HTC One. It doesn't load the correct file.
The solution: simply edit the correct file
Code:
keypad_8960.kl
found in
Code:
/system/urs/keylayout/
by hand (I used Fx File Explorer with the paid Root plugin) and reboot your phone. My edited file is attached on this post.
Original:
Code:
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
My current file that switches the Volume Down and Power button:
Code:
key 116 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 114 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
I don't know if the same file is used on different ROMs. I tested this on the P.A.C. Man ROM.
Now waking my One is a breeze! :laugh:
P.S. You may need the following workaround to fix the 'volume wake not working' bug present in some (or all?) JB ROMs, which strangely also affects this tweak (symptom: volume down won't wake phone sometimes).
1. Install Xposed Framework (which you should anyway, it's awesome)
2. Install MoDaCo Toolkit
3. Wait for the annoying ad (Paul, tsk, tsk) and enable the option 'HTC One > Enable Volume Wake'
4. Enable MoDaCo Toolkit in Xposed
5. Reboot
6. Profit ^_^
Is there a way to remap volume keys to change song when double clicked or something?

I'm not sure, but when there is, I think it's not done with this or another .kl file but with a 'ROM tweak', like AOKP settings.
But remapping it that way does it mean if you want to lower the volume you press the power button?

Correct. I'm currently having the issue that my phone won't always wake using the remapped Power button, or only after 4 seconds holding it. I think it's a conflict with my ROM settings though.
While locking the phone with volume down would be nice, it prevents you from turning the volume down/vibrate/off. Which is pretty important.
Although you could alternatively hit Volume Up and then drag the slider via the touchscreen.
BTW I tried this on TrickDroid 4.2.2 and it works.

Actually, the adjustment only swaps the buttons, so the physical Power button acts as Volume Down
I'm still having issues with the adjustment though, has anyone tried it and got it working correctly all the time? I also edited Generic.kl and qwerty.kl, but that didn't help. Pacman ROM 2.9.
Is there any way to use his once you're in the camera . Since we don't have a dedicated camera button it would be great to set up the volume key to take pictures ?

I have multiple problems guys:
Rooted...double checked if it's rooted (htc one) - then installed Xposed...mods...guess what? it worked for a few hours then all of the sudden...Framework disabled...pushed Install again...and then one of 2 things happen:

2 - Installed and notification for SU....but when restarting my phone the framework it's NOT installed....wtf?!?

PERMANENT FIX: This problem is caused when the phone enters Deep Sleep mode, the processor stops listening to the .kl files and is pre-programmed to listen on the power button. --On mine, I was completely unable to turn the phone on, I figured out thought that I could turn it on is by holding the power button and the configured volume button at the same time, like a screenshot, hope this helps somebody.-- To permanently fix this download "Wake My Android Pro (free)" from the Play Store, this app is specifically designed to keep your phone in the "Sleep" mode and preventing it from entering the "Deep Sleep" mode. **This does not drain your battery.** Just make sure to set "Low Wake" in the settings, and set the time to 9 seconds and auto-start. Hope this helps some people, those who do not want to fiddle around with Xposed.

This you can do via Tasker. Just create a profile: Event, Variable Set: Volume - Media. This will pick up the volume presses, from there you can restore the volume to what it was (via stored variable) and detect double-presses or gestures between the vol-up and vol-down buttons. I recommend running Javascript to detect that, to be more streamlined. Once detected, use the Media Control action to skip/restart/pause songs in OEM, or if you use Spotify or Pandora, you will have to use a shell "input keyevent 87" Use Root: Yes--87 to skip, swap it with 88 for previous, 85 to play/pause.

This can be achieved with Tasker as well. Use a profile "Application," select Camera, and combine with an Event (by long-pressing profile and "Add...") Variable Set: Volume - Ringer. For the action, select Input>Button>Camera. You must be rooted.
If we combine this button swapping idea with Tasker, we can do a lot of cool things guys. An easy way to pick up an easy button gesture with Tasker is with the power button (which always works from sleep, the volume buttons can only be detected when music is playing). I use Tasker to do a certain action when the power button is double-clicked (Display On>Display Off within, say, 1 or 2 seconds).
Hope all was a help, I am new to XDA (*NOT* a noob!) and actually, this is my first post, so a thumbs up or a "thank you" or whatever you guys call it would be great. Thanks! :good:
Hi
I used to edit Generic.kl file for my s3 with
163 to 115 and (volumeup to medianext)
165 to 114 (volumedown to mediaprevious)
to use my headset buttons to change the media to next or previous using an existing guide here in xda instead of volume control. I used that to change the spirit1 presets.
However that method only worked because there was another mapping file which overrides the generic one to handle the four hardware buttons - so they get re-mapped back to volume again and only the headset buttons were mapped to nexg and previous as mentioned by the user in that thread.
However that's not the case for op2 and changing these values mapped the hardware volume keys too and there is no other file that could keep the hardware buttons mapped to volume only.
So I am looking for a fix for this issue if anyone aware about this or done something like this for their op2 and succeeded.
Thanks.

Here is the xda thread for this trick.

I will try that and report back, by the way I am using Oneplus Silver Bullet headset for Oneplus 2.
Try Flashing HydrogenOS(H2OS) it has a Option to Change Commands for Headset Remote Buttons & also you can select the headphones you use with OnePlus 2 (Silver Bullet, Gold Bullet , JBL E1+ & OnePlus Icon)

Thanks but I don't want to change my whole rom for this single feature, I like CM better.
Then use some apps in Play Store.

Apps only works after doing this trick. I have been using such apps for my s3 but that didn't work on op2. App developer said some devices hard-coded keys to their functions. I am just looking for someone who got this working.
Is there any magisk module or mod that enable the hold pressing volume buttons for skip track on OOS?
Gestures doesn't permit to change track with phone in the pocket.
I prefer to not use third app like button mapper, a system option is better than every third app. (I already tried it but it is not precise like the same feature implemented on the custom roms I tried)
I use GravityBox for only this feature, with edXposed. If you're up to installing edXposed, it works as advertised.
Try this: https://www.xda-developers.com/skip-music-tracks-android-volume-keys-no-root/
Works perfectly for me.
