Split Notification and ringtone volume

Hi,
Although this was not split by default, it used to be able to be enabled when flashing Jotha's enhanced quick settings.
I am now using ARHD 12 and quite like the current HTC quick settings, but I would still like to split the volume, assuming it is still possible on 4.2.2? Perhaps via an Xposed Mod?
Would be grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers

I am also really interested in this...just bought a HTC One after parting with my S3. Installed InsertCoin but would love to be able to split notification and ringer volumes.

Perhaps I will try and PM Jotha?

This thing broke my notification sound
I installed it and now i can't change the notification ton it just stays as default tried uninstalling it along with several other combinations of troubleshooting.

Widget Locker Lockscreen

Hey all ....
I am having some extremely frustrating problems with Widget Locker Lockscreen here on my HTC One.
First, I can't seem to get the homehelper to work correctly as it doesn't even look like its saving my settings when I switch launchers or anything for testing. I don't need a PIN or security on my phone as deep as setting that, I just don't want the home button to take me to the home screen when on the lockscreen. GO locker did this beautifully for me, and didn't have the second issue below.
Second, when it does work for like 10 seconds, I get an annoying flicker of it trying to paint the homescreen then going back to the lockscreen.
Anyone else experiencing any of these issues or know how to fix them? I have emailed the created of WL a couple of times stating the problems I was having within the app and got nothing back, so its time to ask the XDA Community.
Thanks

I experienced the same problems as you. It was an amazing app when it was on my Nexus one, still is used. But on the Htc One its pretty lackluster. I know I have nothing to contribute but I just uninstalled it...

Your HTC One is running ARHD as well (well from your signature it says it is) ... I am on 11.5.
Can someone on a different ROM check to see if they are having these issues as well? I know a lot of people are using the app so someone on a different ROM shouldnt be hard to find

Hey, I'm on fully converted GE. I use nova/widgetlocker religiously. Unfortunately, I have the same problems when I try to use homehelper. Its like an inefficient workaround, shows the "redraw" of home but tries to maintain WL. This isn't a working solution. I've disabled it and for the time being, I've just tried to ignore the home button while lock screen. Its always just power button or swipe (if i'm using custom kernel) then unlock using lockscreen. I've looked for other lockscreen alternatives but in terms of features, nothing compares to WL. I hope the devs bring out an update in the near future to address these issues.

Awesome. Thanks for the update. I have been extremely frustrated with this app but nothing compares to the customizing that can be done with it. Lets hope for a speedy update to fix this or hopefully the devs actually come on XDA and see this thread starting and address it

I was able to get rid of the flicker by turning on "HomeHelper ondemand via root" in Advanced > Root Helper (in addition to enabling HopeHelper). I'm currently on TrickDroid 8.00 and WidgetLocker 2.4beta8.

Turned on HomeHelper ondemand via root .... it stopped the home button bypass of the lockscreen but I still have the flicker

Crazy observation ....
I cleared all my settings, defaults, etc this morning before I posted about the homehelper with root .... and still had the flicker
Just playing around with my phone now I changed my lockscreen to have an alternate background from my home screen .... no more flicker on my device ...
Do you guys have alternate backgrounds? If not, can you try switch to one and see if you still get the flicker?

TrickDroid, as posted above, seems to not have any issues either. Is there anyone else on TrickDroid or ViperRom that has had issues?
I can't see why it would be limited to ARHD and GE Roms on the One, but since I don't know much about how these are put together, I guess anything is possible.
Also to note, after my change yesterday, I haven't had an issue since.

just installed app again after update. works like a charm and the dashclock is in "fullscreen" unlike when it was on the sense lockscreen!

any news?

do you guys know any way to use the default lockscreen when you get a call?
the only two possibilities that I found is to either have no lockscreen or you don't see who's calling you (because you need to unlock widget locker first) - both not ideal if you ask me

Well I dunno about you. But I am not having any issue for when someone calls me. but then again I didn't put any sort of security on my phone.
I just have Widget Locker Lockscreen enabled. someone calls me goes straight to answer/decline for me

Using default lockscreen, there is this cool feature (widget?) that shows controls and info of music that is currently playing, no matter what is the player you are using (I use both Spotify and Poweramp). Is there similar widget available that could be used with Widget Locker? I have found some that has support for Poweramp, but for spotify none. I'd rather not add both player's own widget to Widget Locker, it would be just spending space (and Spotify's widget is quite ugly).

me too, but that's the problem: you don't have to swipe up to answer or decline the call, the phone is unlocked so you only have to tap answer or decline... this may cause you to accept/decline calls by accident
I would like to have the default incoming call screen where you have to swipe up to accept the call together with widget locker, but I didn't find a way yet to achieve that

[Q] [SOLVED] Lollipop issues: edit lock screen, close all apps

Hello,
I'm on 5.0.2 Sony stock FW, rooted. I'd like to be able to add custom widgets to my lock screen (Power Toggles) and to be able to enter my pattern without having to swipe up first. (The dot grid only becomes visible after swiping up from the bottom of the lock screen.)
So basically, I'd like the lock screen to immediatly show a widget and the grid. Notifications are not necessary.
It used to be simple to customize lock the screen... Does anyone know how to get this done?
Thanks!

Well, it looks like you're right. I have even tried several apps. (CM Lock, SnapLock, AcDisplay, Keypad Lock) While some offer better customizability, none show the dot grid without swiping.
I'm starting to miss KitKat already. Who could have possibly thought of this as a good idea?

Lollipop does not support lock screen widgets like KitKat did. I use Power Toggles too and now use the notification feature to show toggles on the lock screen. The reason you have to swipe up is to get past the notifications so you can unlock the device.

Scott, I hadn't considered using the notification feature of Power Toggles. That solves one problem. Thanks!
Also I must admit, coming from an Xperia V, the facial recognition works pretty fast in lock screen. (Found under security > smart lock) That means one swipe usually does the trick towards unlocking.
Sony's not off the hook as far as I'm concerned, though. Reducing customization options is never a good thing.
Besides, I don't like some other decisions they've made. Next up: finding a way to get the kill all apps button back

Glad the notification approach works for you.
Regarding customizations, if you are referring to the lack of lock screen widgets, that is not a Sony customization. It is a change to Lollipop. My Nexus devices to not have lock screen notifications on Lollipop either.

I wonder why Google decided to disable widgets on the lock screen. Surely they must know Android users love customization Security perhaps.

I found a way around this, for anyone who's interested. This thread links to stock firmware that has a "close all" button. As far as I understand, it is currently the latest version and localization doesn't matter. But I'm no expert, so please head over to that thread for any information and questions.

Remove add user icon from notification bar

Hello I have a galaxy tab s2 t810 running lollipop 5.1.1 It is rooted .I want to remove the add user icon from the notification bar. When the screen is locked anybody can pull down the notification bar click on users and then create a new user by clicking on add user. I want to remove only the add user icon please point me in the right direction. I have looked in settings under lock screen and there is no option to turn this off. Thanks
Tejal

Agreed
Wow, I can't believe there is still no information anywhere about this. I would really like to know the answer as well. I imagine a lot of people are the sole users of their devices and do not want anyone who picks up their device to be able to create a new account, change settings and download apps. I encrypt my devices and know my information is secure but if I want to add a user I can do it from the settings once I'm logged in. I would love the ability to remove the option from the lock screen. I just don't get whoever thought this was a good idea but apparently most people either don't mind, don't care or as I suspect, don't realize it's there. This option should be available for unrooted devices as well.

Check this out. Maybe this is what you need.

Thanks "add fw.max_users=1 in build.prop and restart the device" works great!!

Thanks for the quick reply it itandy! I will give this a shot.

I did that and it worked but there is still the icon for 'setting' in the lockscreen pulldown and clicking on it bypass the lockscreen. Can I get rid of that icon too?

I updated to tab s2 to nougat. I was expecting the add user option could be customised to disable it completely but it is still the same.
I want to remove add guest and add user completely from the notification. How do I make this happen ?

Hi !
Still looking for a solution on this one. Any body successful ? It feels so helpless when some one can simply open your device using add user in notification !

Do i need my phone to be rooted??

Question Pixel 7 (notification light)

Can i get a notification light to blink if i root this phone?

AFAIK the Pixel 7 doesn't have a notification LED. Most contemporary smartphones don't and haven't for the past 5+ years.

I can do it with an app from google play, called aodnotify. I was just wondering if i rooted the phone anyway, maybe i could get it without the app.

Although not a root app, I recommend dynamicspot. It has a free version, simulates Apples' Dynamic Island, and does not use up a lot of screen real estate.

that app has a completly different purpose then for example aodnitify.

For now, i'm sticking with aodnotify.

aodNotify could be great if the system wasn't killing its accessibility service all the time.
Any tips on this?
I'm only using it for turning off AoD if no notifications present.
And sometimes I can't wake the screen at all by just tapping. Only with the switch.
The FAQ even says to completely disable it in the accessibility options. But without that turned on the AoD switching doesn't work at all.
