[REQUEST] volume rocker skip songs! - Nexus 4 General

So back when i did use CM stuff i very much enjoyed being able to use a held down volume rocker to skip songs, but not so much the ROM, it was a lot of effort to keep up with the nightlies and bugs. Seems someone else had the same feelings as me and here we someone delving into the decompiled system apk's to bring it to stock... but for the S3....

Please those with greater coding brains than I, bring this to the nexus 4!
also here is android.policy.jar that i pulled from my phone http://www.mediafire.com/?y1zpd3ab2n1wru5

You can use Tactile player from the play store..... It hinders the phones ability to increase or reduce volume when it is activated but it does skip tracks effectively...
You can always disable to widget to get access to fully functional volume controls..

Thanks for the suggestion, and if a dev never picks this up for the n4 that may be the only option. But I'd love to see a permanent mod

Minimum Volume too high

Hey guys,
well known topic, but I'm still left with questions.
I go with ARHD and Sense (Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5 atm, 4.4 KK might be soon) and the minimum volume levels are too loud IMHO (regarding my taste), therefore I want to readjust them or have to increase the number of volume steps as this also redefines the array and the fraction of each step.
I use ZeroInfinity's PureXAudio (now ProjectEra) if that counts. Also Xposed framework.
I'm aware of Volume steps mod (HTC One) and I checked {Mod & Tuto} 30/45 Steps Volume Project (framework.jar), so I might do editing hex-values soon.
1. can I readjust the volume levels to my needs somewhere, if this is the simpler way: step x [1-15] - level y [0-1] (e.g.) ?
2. does changing the number of steps definitly means changing framework.jar? best file, best approach. If so I will go for it..
3. does sth. has to be taken into account, sth. changed with 4.3 or KK 4.4, or Sense 5.5,.. someone told about the master-volume with 4.2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47668094&postcount=310)?
Thanks for helping !
edit: details
Volume step mods are completely broken in 4.3 and onwards. Jonny has already explained everything you need to know, the master volume is locked at 15 steps of volume, no more no less. Whilst you CAN get 30 steps, you'll only have 15 volume changes meaning the volume will simply go up like this
1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4-5-5-6-6-7-7-8-8-9-9-10-10-11-11-12-12-13-13-14-14-15-15
30 Steps, only 15 volume changes. A shame really
Thx Galactus.
Hmmm, if the known mod is resulting in 15 levels at the end there must be some different, maybe additional place (lines in the code, file,..) where to modify an array, a number, levels,..
We have to find the hole where to put the dynamite..

Indeed we do lol, but I am not skilled in that area and I have no idea if any devs can, or will attempt to fix it

You will need custom kernel for this, (like stellar for stock rom, others for AOSP etc.)
Custom kernel allows sw to fully utilize the hw, am using stellar kernel and it's working fabulously...
Headset+speaker experience is pretty much enhanced with this, that is what you want, I think
You will need root to flash custom kernel.
Pressing thanks on help doesn't make any deduction from your pocket

L90 Volume Boost - Solution, and a Question!

Hey mates .
Here's the thing, i want to remove that Loud Volume Headset Warning that makes volume pretty Low.
For now all i found to really increase volume is this:
Sound Boost.apk Freeware : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cacheux.soundboost "Just activate the apk before you plug-in your earphone/headphone".
This for sure will increase volume, but i wanted to know if the 'quality' of this increased sound is the same quality as if the volume limiter was really removed, because i think this app switches the Music channel to Voice Channel in order to gain volume.
So i wanted to ask someone to do something like this: whoever of you that already did somehow removed the limit volume warning by Xposed Framework or tools like that one, to try installing this SoundBoost apk and tell me if the quality and volume is the same as if we had removed the warning by Xposed or other tools.
Thanks for your attention mates, have a good day :good:

Is There Any Way To Get More Volume Steps

To be clear........ I'm not asking about getting louder volume but rather more volume steps. 15 steps for multimedia volume just isn't enough. I don't want to go down the custom rom route. The only way I can see to get more volume steps at the moment is to downgrade to MM and use Xposed with Gravitybox or something similar.
Is there any way to get more volume steps on Nougat? It would be really nice if Oneplus could implement this into the stock rom as they have with several other "custom rom" types of features.

Looking at AudioService in AOSP repository for Android 7.0 I can see:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...om/android/server/audio/AudioService.java#624
which means if you are rooted you should be able to edit build.prop to insert config line ro.config.media_vol_steps=X where X is the number of desired volume steps.
I too would like this. When streaming BT audio the jump in volume from one step to the next is way too high.
Maybe Oneplus should change it to something like nexus devices, where you can scroll the volume bar continuously from 100% to 0% without steps...much more practical, especially in cases like an alarm, where even the first step now is quite loud.
Exactly same issue here! I hate it!! Music sounds all stupid and with OnePlus tweaking the sound. The music is not natural like it's supposed to be! Saw it on a video **** sucks! Maybe alot of people can't noticed the difference and I do mean ALOT. But I can! And the few also complaining about this too! No equalizer works properly. Treble too high and the mids are low! Bass not even there. I'm actually using my s7 edge for music because the DAC on oneplus 3T is absolutely horrible

Confirmed to work on a rooted 3t
install magisk and use the module that increases volume steps. You don't need a custom ROM or xposed for this.

tried all the above on lenovo m8 fhd (android 10) best I get is two volume ranges. No one has a fix for this so looks like a custom rom is needed

Switch Volume back to Pre-Pie

Just a couple quick questions about the change Google made to the volume controls after Oreo where the physical buttons change Media instead of Ringtone...
Does anyone know if any of the ROMs revert this back to Pre-Pie method baked in (or with an optional setting)?
Otherwise, is Xposed the best bet for this? (been away from the rooting/custom ROM world for a little while)
thx -jonn
[by the by... My last phone had Pie and was not rootable... this one change to volume is the closest I have ever been to moving from Android to iPhone. While some may welcome this change, IMHO it is FOOBAR and has completely borked the way I use a phone... working around dogs and both inside and outside, I change my ringer volume constantly.)
