Is there an app that can make the ringtone volume ascending...?
Thx in advance.
you could probably use a wave editor like audacity to edit your ringtone, then use a fade in effect that would slowly raise the volume to max level
Good idea. Is there an app which will do it automatically on the G1...?
You can check any of the ringtone makers on the market, but I doubt they can do that so you would have to do it for each ringtone.
we need a thread where everyone posts awesome ringtones. I'm getting burnt out on the default ones.

Thanks for the idea... Still think this feature is pretty basic by today's standard and should have been included in Android by now...
Cheers and Happy New Year!
I have never seen this feature stock on anything, nore would I want or use it.

My old samsung phone had it, and I liked it. The phone would start by vibrating then start ringing softly and get progressivly louder. I didn't need to keep changing volume settings if the room was getting louder or softer. That was one of the first things I looked for on my phone when I got it.
I remember an application that changed the ring volume based on ambiant noise, but that's not what you were asking about but could help you in your last situation.

It's been a standard feature of just about every Nokia made in the last 10 years!
Never owned a nokia so....
Motorola Cliq has that option BTW so it can be done. May be someone can port it to G1. I've never used it but sounds like a good option to have.
Cliq is on 1.6, correct...? So it's a custom feature by Moto...?
Is it included in 2.0, 2.0.1 or 2.1...?
Cliq is 1.5, I don't think it's even going to get upgraded to any other versions... yeah Motorola sucks.
You can use Ascending Ringtone App that collected on this package:edited...
[highlight]MOD Edit: No linking to warez. First and final warning[/highlight]
There's an app in the market called 'Ascending Ringtone' for $.99 that claims to do what you're asking.
@mahdian please remove your post, we do not support warez here.
Just to get used to the android OS dev side I am going to attempt to blend Meego/Maemo features with android. I will be using the V10k firmware as a basis.
I'm curious as to features you may wish to see in a rom. My main goals are:
Tri-screen functionality: Custom home, Apps, Running apps (Similair to Meego)
Customizable folders for the app screen
Onestop Keyboard (Swype, switch between qwerty and T9/numeric style)
3d functionality remaining
Possible Debian install
Removal of ALL spare apps. If it isn't required, it's gone.
EDIT:
Possible extra features
Option to uninstall apps from app screen via long press.
Option to hide/lock apps
EDIT (Final):
PROGRESS: Android is a surpisingly easy OS to work on and there is a LOT of devel to look at in terms of starting points for coding. I currenty have a debian distro runningwith the android OS. Apt-get works fine, however there is not enough space install any application. This Rom may either be out very soon, or depending on memory issues my be impossible without relying on an SD.
Unlocked tether and wifi hot spot
I'm most concerned with battery longevity. Don't know if you'd call that a feature, but to me it's one of the most important parts.
Wish List for new ROM on LG Thrill
I love this Thrill, for the most part, but I wish that the Phone app, where you see the
Dial, Call Log, Contact and Groups, would work same way as the Stock Android does... basicaly, take out the Groups and put Favorits.
This Group to me is very slow every time I click on it takes 5 to 10 seconds to load.. and then I have to presse the Favorits... which I use the most... so..
Yes, I have about 1700 contacts on my list, but even with just a just contacts, this buttons GROÜPs is very slow.
Also, I wish that the Flash on teh 3D camera mode would work, because right now, only in 2D mode is that the Flash works... I think it is just a setting in some internal files or on the Camera apps that blocks the Flash when in Video or still pic.
Thanks and let us know if these changes are possible or not.
Ron
WIFI Unlock and tether: I belieive its been done on other roms so it should be no problem
Battery: I will see what I can do. The ROM will just be a bare bones OS so there should be very little to eat up the battery.
Contacts to favorites and camera flsh: I'll have to look into this and let you know.

There is a reason behind the flash not working during 3D. They blocked it because the light from the flash messes with the 3D camera. Sure this could be a feature still, just saying this doesn't work for a good reason.

Gingerbread, or Ice Cream Sandwich

I was actually thinking on waiting for the Gingerbread update before starting. The update should be coming anywhere between novemeber and the end of december.
If I wait, then it will give me a bit more time to get familiar with android as an OS andcome up with various way to get the maemo/meego/android mix feel just right. Progress has been fairly fast however. I'm still having memory issues with the debian however. Also, the UI get very buggy. I might just look into utilizing some outside programs.
How would you guys feel if I outed the stock home and keyboard and replaced it with someothing like GO launcher and keyboard?
As long as the keyboard has the speak to text capability, because although mines rooted with thriller, i don't like using swype just to have that option.. it should be on the default keyboards too.

Stock android keyboard has speech to text. Its just disabled by default. I don't use the LG keyboard so I don't know about that one.

Something else that would be nice is the ability to reboot into recovery. Not a big deal but a nice feature.

Maybe Undervolting, anything to help battery life... patiently waiting for the Gingerbread update to arrive for the Thrill
The reboot option is actually a great idea Ill look into that, I probably will not have an undervolt OR even an overclock option as Im sure it will require a custom kernel. Kernel are something I rarely play with and when I do it's only a temp thing.

The reboot option is used in thriller, oops wrong reboot. I think there was a reason the reboot to recovery didn't work, I remember reading about it in thriller thread.

Hello XDA Community,
as for now i have installed the very nice Custom rom NextGen+. As a part of this ROM is installed the App "Quick Launch".
I do not understand what it does or what it is for? Can anyone explain me maybe pls?
Before i deinstall it i want to know for what it is x)
thx for ur advice

Every apps & games are listed in, you are able to launch them straight from it, but it mainly aims at letting you manage phone/bluetooth/wifi/data/batt.saver connex with a single push... this is a very convenient interface, especially if it's paired to search key button (see SearchKeySettings app from same genuis dev ultrashot...also available on Zloy's NextGen+)
I'm moving from the Note 4 to the Nexus 6. Note 4 started having random reboots, problems, etc.
1. Nexus 6, the volume button and power button are too close together/same side. Does anyone else fumble with these buttons?
2. Camera-doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as the one on the Note 4, flash lights up the picture and it looks good, but when the picture actually takes, it is seconds after the flash has gone off.
3. Is there a way to put two languages on at once for texting? I am aware that I can put more than 1 on and toggle the 'spacebar' to switch from english to spanish, but, is there a way that it has both dictionaries going at once? Most of my texting is in two languages, and it's a real pain to have to switch back and forth in order to not have auto-correct go crazy and change my words. (or can someone suggest a messaging app they like that would do this?)
4. After using headphones and unplugging, sound will sometimes disappear until the phone is restarted.
5. Copying pictures from a text? On some of them i get a choice of "view picture" which takes it to a separate screen. But, from there, the 3 little menu buttons on the top left, when I click say "more options" and nothing else comes up? There is no way to copy it, forward it, etc.?
6. Is there a way to make the message alerts not vibrate so loudly? Is that adjustable?
1. Once in a while, but I have a habit of "double checking" the buttons
2.Have you tried using a camera with manual settings? Heard that the N6 camera wasnt that good but if you know what you are doing with manual settings, you can get a great shot
3. Have you tried swiftkey? I use it to be able to text my family in english and catala
4. Haven't had that issue
5. -------
6. Not sure, maybe if you root your device you can
This thread should be closed it if you dislike the phone get something different!

1. Seldom. But my Vodafone Crapfone which is the company phone has it reversed. The power button is below the volume rockers. And I constantly mix those up.
2. It's not as good as my Note 3 was. But still I've made a couple of rather good photos. It's not all in the camera software.
3. No, AFAIK. But it's not N6 specific.
4. My never did that.
5. I don't really get this one. Text, as in Messaging?
6. Nope. I mean not without a custom kernel.

I disagree. Other than the obvious point that the OP's post isn't breaking any XDA rules, the OP has not said that he doesn't like the device. All he is doing is asking for input from device owners regarding certain things he isn't used to. Perhaps you might try answering the questions instead of being crabby?
@grizzylemon: To answer your questions:
I haven't had an issue with this. Coming from a Galaxy S4 you would figure I would.
I've not encountered issues using the camera with flash. However, all things considered, the Nexus 6 camera is a small downgrade from the one in the Note 4. The Note 4 camera has a slightly larger aperture, which means more light can hit its sensor. That plus the backlit sensor and DIS to go with OIS do make for a better camera.
You could use Google Translate to translate your text before you send it, then add it to the existing text. However, typing in two different languages would require a keyboard where you could switch languages on the fly, and while I'm sure they exist, I'm not aware of any.
I've not encountered this.
Tap on the picture in Messenger. Next to the "share" icon you should have an icon that looks like a memory card. That's the "save" icon. The picture will save to a folder on internal storage. Other apps, including the AOSP messaging app, may have a completely different setup.
The vibration motor is very loud. You would need a custom ROM with (likely) a custom kernel to be able to adjust the vibration intensity.

Thanks for your responses. It isn't so much the keyboard (for the dual language texting) but in my other phone I guess it worked two languages simultaneously in the dictionary so I could type "Go to the store and tell her you want "una soda sin hielo" " and it wouldn't try to change the last part of my text to words it thought i might be trying to type in English.
Also, thanks for your defense.
I'm certain some people will wonder how I can type without it, but the solution I found to that was to disable predictive text features in the keyboard.
I didn't buy this phone for the camera, texting abilities, or multilingual support. I bought because it is big, fast and most of all... it's a Nexus.
I can run a different rom every day if I want. Your Note 4 was having random reboots. If that happens with my Nexus 6 I just wipe it and install a different ROM. This flexibility is what makes Nexus (Pixel) devices great. IMHO.

Yes, I do like that part of it, haven't tried to do any custom roms on it yet. is there one you have that is a favorite? Also, (probably a stupid question, so bear with) how is it different to wipe and put in different rom on the Nexus as opposed to doing so on the Note?

As in? Were you running a custom ROM on the Note 4? Nexus is one of the most highly developed brands. If not the most. Factory images are readily available and many times after a new android version is released, custom ROMs for the Nexus are not far behind. There is no difference between installing a ROM on the Nexus 6 or the
Note 4. Availablity would be the factor.
I'm a fan of Bliss, Slim and Pure Nexus, to name a few. It mostly depends on the user and what they like.
Hi All,
Newbie here so please be gentle with me, love the look of this fourm so thought I would join in!
I purchased the Nokia 7 Plus here in the UK (TA-1055 model) about a week ago and I am very happy with it, I do have a few questions tho...
What does it mean by unlocking the bootloader? what does this do and what can you do once you have done this?
Is it really worth using the google camera app instead of the stock Nokia camera app?
Other tips on getting more battery life (not that I run out, just curious as to what settings you can change)
Also I am not getting the notification dots come up on any apps and the notification dot settings is set to on
Look forward to hearing your wise words!
I have the same model.
Unlocking bootloader is necessary to make root access workable and change ROMs etc. If you don't know what that means then don't bother with it
Yes it's really worth to use Google Camera app for normal photos (not videos). The difference is unbelievable. Use APK and settings from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76834155&postcount=267
Don't know how you can improve battery life (never bother with this, Android does this automatically) and get your notification dots working (notification dots need special permissions if you use another launcher).

Hi mate,
Thanks for your reply, dont think I will bother with the bootloader stuff as sounds too complicated for me lol.
Ok thats great will try that camera app! and how come dont use it for videos? I have just upgraded to this phone from a Moto G4+ and was seriously considering swapping this for a Moto G6 plus but really want to give this phone a chance! as i do like it!
And as for notification dots I managed to sort that in the special permissions settings by turning on launcher 3!
Video will not work well with Pixel camera because mainly of sound. The Nokia uses a special sound system with several mics called Ozo Sound. So it's best to use it with the Nokia camera itself.
Ok thanks, and is the sound quality noticeable when playing the video back on the phone or on a pc?
And not sure if this is something I can change in settings but the gcam won't zoom in when I want to take a photo is this right?
I think noticeable on both.
There is no good zoom in gcam because there is no Google phone camera with an optical zoom or second lens (so no support for second lens).
