[Q] Removing media volume limit with headphones

I noticed, that media volume can be set only up to 8 steps, when headphones are connected (not to full 15 steps).
I guess it's result of questionable EU safety requirements.
Unfortunately, my headphones are not very sensitive and the volume is very low. Is there any way to remove this limitation?
Thanks in advance for any idea and help.

Install the apk as said, and if you get the warning just dismiss it and increase sound level to 100%

Thanks a lot. I did exactly as said, but the problem remains.
There is no warning, the media volume slider simply won't go beyond 8th step.

Search and download "buildprop editor" or similar app from playstore... There you can easily edit the above given code.. Or if you are confident enough, you can do it manually by going to your phone's root directory using a file explorer (on your phone, no PC required)
Then go to system... It should be like
/system/build.prop
Then open it in text editor and look for the above lines and make changes...
Be careful though, because it might lead to soft bricks if you mess up the build.prop... So I suggest making a copy of the original build.prop and save in sd card

[Q] adding/editing quick tiles

Has anyone successfully edited the quick tiles every thread I try calls for using sqlite editor, after editing to my liking I reboot but the edits never stick.
Any ideas?

I've had no problems at all. Are your you saving your changes, and are you adding semicolons to your edits?
The changes should be made to notification_panel_active_app_list. It's easy to choose the wrong one. There is at least six similar entries in the data base. You must make sure that you select the correct one.
example: add "MobileData;" to notification_panel_active_app_list without the quotes, and not to notification_panel_active_app_list_for_reset. Save the change then reboot.

Yes I am but after reboot they are gone. I'm not site what to do do you know where I can find a list of quick tile terms that it will accept

There is no one list that I know of, mostly everything is sporadically "add this here and there. Could you post a screen shot of your sqlite screen after your edits, before the reboot? It should look something like this.

You were supposed to edit the "notification_panel_active_app_list" like I told you. You edited the "notification_panel_default_active_app_list".

OK thanks think i got it gonna reboot

For the download booster, its "NetworkBooster" without the quotes. But you need to follow the download booster guide in the general section to get the download booster working, because you are required to switch around some files.

Enable New Dark Mode setting for Google Phone (it's beta, but usable) - Root required

Hey everyone, I did a search and didn't see a quick guide posted about this so I thought I would write one up with some pictures real quick.
Pre How To Notes:
* the usual I am not responsible for your device, if you mess it up its on you etc etc. Make a back up or have an apk ready.
* I have only tested this on the v30= but im sure it will work on all devices running Google Dialer Beta 24.0.214850721 ( https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...gle-phone-24-0-214850721-release/#description ). I am part of the Dialer beta and was not pushed the beta 24 release, so I had to manually update it to this one. The needed setting do not exist in beta 23.
* I am using the following 3 Magisk modules - Google Dialer and Contacts for OP5 and/5T - Android 0 Apt x libraries - Pixel Experience. These may or may not effect anyones ability to enable these features, but since I am going to post and run I figured it was easier to say such now than find out tomorrow that noone could replicate it and this is the reason why.
* I just saw @syndre post a magisk module for the dialer and contacts that is version 24. May or may not work with that, and maybe if you all ask super nice he will make a second magisk module that has dark mode enabled since I have never made a magisk module and wouldnt know where to start.
* You must have "Preferences Manager" installed from the play store (or wherever i guess) in order to do this. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.simon.marquis.preferencesmanager&hl=en_US )
Ok so its fairly simple.
How To enable Dark Mode on Android Dialer
1) Open Preferences Manager (make sure it has root priv) scroll down to "Phone" app and select it.
2) Scroll over to dialer_phenotype_flags.xml and find the setting G__enable_dark_mode_setting and switch it from "false" to true
3) Now find com.google.android.dialer_preferences.xml and find the setting for display_options_dark_mode and switch that one from 'false' to "true".
4) Close out, force stop google dialer, reopen the dialer.
5) Go to dialer Settings, and select Display, then check Dark Mode - Enable.
Boom, you're done. Its a little buggy but it works and I havent had any issues.
Let me know if you have any questions

:good:I just replaced dialer in Pie with the modified version!! Dark theme is awesome at night, Thank you!! :highfive:

the extra app isn't urgently needed for editing the xml files these files are stored in
/data/data/com.google.android.dialer/shared_prefs
and can be edited with a simple text editor capable of root rights.
thanks for finding and sharing :good: merci

No problem and Thank you @seadersn .
I was originally going to get into a whole additional paragraph or two of alternative methods to enable the necessary flags but decided to just use Preferences Manager as the example because it seemed like the most foolproof and easiest way for any level of user to accomplish the necessary steps.
And I figured that anyone with more advanced capabilities would spot what was being done overall and could accomplish the changes however they were most comfortable performing them (your post of course being a prime example of it accomplishing just that)

Just taking a quick look it looks like those files have too much personal information in them for me to just straight-up replace them completely with a module. I think that one line of the preferences file needs to be edited by hand somehow by anyone this right now until the implemented fully. I changed the one line showing in the screenshot and notice there was a toggle switch in the dialer app now, switching that makes it look like the third screenshot. I can't use it like that, lol

Thanks for this!

Can't get this working on my rooted lg v30. When I open preferences manager I have to show system apps to see Google phone. Then I have to scroll right to find data_rollout_dark_mode and set to true. Then scroll right again to display_options_dark_mode and set it to true. Force close app and no option for dark mode in display options when I open it.

So I used se text editor to locate the files, and changed false to true. Force close dialer. Opened and still no dark.

I kept picking at it, and eventually edited the correct strings. I've got working dark mode.

the new v25 magisk module containing newest dialer version does indeed look good with dark mode just tried it again, it looks much more better than in the last version. i think next version will contain it officially, there's a new "__data_rollout__DarkMode.EnableDarkModeRollout__launched__" bool.

Yes, that's the version I'm using. I agree, I think the dark version looks very nice. I'm a fan of darker themes.

Enable dark mode Whatsapp (Root)

Just leaving this here as a method of applying dark mode for whatsapp.
I can confirm working on GM1913 EU - 10.0.2 stock rooted.
Only extra step not in the following guide is to kill whatsapp after following the steps and relaunch and you will find a theme option in settings to enable dark mode.

go into the developer options, search for "Force override dark mode", turn that baby ON, and enjoy all apps darkened.

Confirmed working on latest non-beta 2.19.360 from Play Store.
Thanks, this is awesome and a much better solution than force enabling it for every app because that messes up some apps in my case.

So I added the line, and changed it, now when opening the file I see Whatsapp moved the line elsewhere in the file. The setting in the app is a little buggy, once now it automatically switched back to light mode, and now it's dark but the setting shows light mode. It's weird.

Yes i agree, but in relation to the ringtone sound level it makes it more convinient. You can even adjust the level by using multiple files. But did google already "fixed" this since version Kit Kat?
