Remap ring/silent slider actions? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Is there an app out there that will let me change the action of the regular/ring only/ silent slider?
I'd like to add more sensical attributes to the slide positions. For me it would be:
Top: normal ringing and notifications.
Middle: no sounds for ring or notifications but vibrations would occur, if configured for those notifications
Bottom: silent with no vibrations.
Any app that can do this? I'm not rooted but would consider rooting to gain this ability.

I have tried to find solutions to this as well and still cannot find it.
I think it's so stupid to have silent at the very top and ring at the very bottom.

I'd like to map DND to one of the positions; I've heard that was a thing on older OnePlus devices but they changed everything for 6 and 6T.

I have observed this exact same problem with Tapatalk: the inability to disable vibration during notifications. I'm surprised that more people aren't annoyed by this.
When I go into the Tapatalk Settings, and click "Advanced Settings" under "NOTIFICATION", there is a "Vibrate" option that I have set to "Never". Yet, the phone always vibrates when I receive a Tapatalk notification.
I have seen similar behavior from other apps, such as K9-Mail. When I filed a bug report about this behavior, the K9-Mail developers insisted that core notification functionality had been changed in the Android operating system, which changed the notification behavior in many existing apps.
The solution in K9-Mail was to uncheck the Vibrate setting but also set the notification ring tone to "Silent". For me, this had the intended effect: the phone never vibrates for email, regardless of whether the phone is in silent mode or not.
My understanding of the Android-level change to notifications is that the phone will vibrate for a notification, even if the parent application's vibration setting is off, provided that the phone itself is in "Vibrate Mode" (the mode when the volume rocker is between "Silent" and the lowest possible audible volume). This is why setting the ringtone to "Silent" "fixes" the problem.
Might anyone have any thoughts on this, or a "trick" for disabling vibration completely in Tapatalk?

Alert Slider is a Letdown

Does anyone else feel like the alert slider is disappointing? I like the feature, but the settings for them are very restrictive. The silent and DND setting is different from what I assumed. They should have given us total freedom to customize it. Mine would be like:
Silent
Alarm sound optional
options to set volume silders
a timeout setting (to prevent phones getting lost forever when on silent)
DND
Alarm default on
Reminders/Events sounds optional
System sounds silent by default
Ring
This one is actually fine But they should allow us to set ringer all the way to vibate
Can anyone think of a workaround to customize the sliders?
Generally, I agree with you. A lot more customization would greatly benefit this feature, and I hope to see a way to change it on a rooted(/maybe future xposed, maybe?) I've gotten used to it, but I'd like to be able to set the phone to vibrate without sliding it to silent. For me I'd like it to be possible to change a profile, and have those settings come back when you switch to it. In fact, they could make the profiles have arbitrary names that can be set, and with all settings available for each. I'd want it like:
Silent:
Everything but alarms off.
Vibrate:
Like silent is now, but media not silent (yes I know you can change media settings)
Ring:
Like it is now.
It's the lack of customization that bothers me. I wouldn't call it a letdown, it's still useful, and I've gotten used to it, but it's not the way I'd ideally like it. Also, AFAIK, you can't control it like you can with no hardware using Tasker.
Coming from similar experience in the past with OP3 and OP3T I am very optimistic that our great developers will come up with all kind of solutions. Given the hot discussions everywhere its easy to forget that this phone is only available since a week (and in hands of most persons since much less)....
Just add a vibrate option to the DND mode! Then it would be ring, vibrate/priority, silent...customizable however is preferred.

[QUESTION] Mute all sounds (NOT 'Do Not Disturb')

Hello.
We have the function "Do Not Disturb", that silent phone calls. This function don't disable notifications sounds or camera shutter, like mutting the phone.
Is there a way to mute ALL sounds, including notifications and other sounds, in a programmable way like "do not disturb"?
I tried some apps like "Automate It" and "Droid Automation", but they don't work as expected.
Thanks in advice.
As you may have noticed, pressing the volume - key only carries you to vibration mode. To enable the mute, you have to open the quick settings pane and click on the speaker icon. It will alternate between sound, vibration and mute. The only volume it doesn't mute is the alarm sound, but it is understandable.

Yeah, I know that, but I wanna a way to do this in a programmable way, like we can do with "do not disturb". This function is activated in a configurable hour and duration, but it don't disable notification sounds!

The only thing you can do is to mute the phone during a certain time. I don't know if in Do not disturb settings you can silence notifications, maybe in the Allow exceptions menu. But I'm not sure, I've never used that feature

I don't know any way to do that, hopefully with Android O update they improve Do not disturb
My phone has no camera shutter sound when it's on vibrate mode and silent mode. No notification sound unless I enable the sound mode.

Volume buttons question

If I am on my home screen and I use the volume buttons, it only changes the media volume instead of the notification/ring tone volume like I would expect. The only way I can change the notification/ring tone volume is to go into the sound settings menu and adjust the slider. Am I overlooking a way to change what the volume buttons control?

Apparently, that's how Oneplus has set it to work. You'll have to tweak it with xposed/ custom rom/ magisk mod.

Has anybody found a solution to this annoying as hell problem? How do you make the volume side buttons control the ringer volume? Why is there not a choice? Is it that difficult to for the programmers to fix? It's a simple thing. I hate that when you go into settings and control the volume that way IT PLAYS YOUR F&$KING RING TONE!!! That is so stupid! And don't come back with "use your slide switch above the on/off button" because I want to use my volume buttons. Can anyone help? It sucks having to waste so much time to try and find a solution to such a simple request....
Same here. Any software "fix" that bypasses the slider? I just have a bad feeling about it breaking one day...

use a volume app. Also, if you are putting a request do it nicely, nobody is working for you here. We share what we know and nobody owes anyone anything.
That is how oneplus has designed the volume keys to work so complain on oneplus support.

What volume app? I can't find anything that overrides the slider. Allegedly, oxygen slider (xposed module) might be it, but wanted to confirm if anyone here was successful in doing so.

Try this thread - xposed alternative full working
I don't know which app. It has been a long time so I don't know if it exists anymore.
Ended up finding a little app called "silent mode toggle". Basically puts the phone into vibrate mode, which is all I need. Tasker has similar functionally as well. This bypasses the slider (needs to be in the ring mode).

[Question] Ability to customize the alert slider?

Is there a way to customize the alert slider on the 6T? I know that there was a Xposed module that allowed for it but nothing in Magisk or the likes. Wasn't sure if someone knew of a way to or if we could manually do it directly from the phone.
I'd like to change vibrate to DND as I use that more then vibrate.
You can try with Tasker, create event Custom settings; Global; three_Key_mode to detect slider position and task to set dnd.
three_Key_mode:
1 - silent
2 - vibration
3 - ring

Hmm....that is an option. I'll have to look at that tonight. Will keep people posted. Thank you.
Other options are welcome as well.
That works for adding additional alert slider behavior, but the built in OOS behavior applies too, and I can't find a way to disable it, even with root.
For example, I want the center position on the slider to be DND in priority only mode, with ringer on. Tasker does the former, but the OS still forces the ringer on vibrate in that switch position.
I know this is an old thread, but hope someone has the answer?
EDIT: I see hardware keys maps in /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl, but not for the slider
