Is There Any Way To Get More Volume Steps - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

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

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

(Q) Any way to increase the actual volume steps

Have been using the increase volume steps xposed mod for a while now and that's great for media volume and alarm volume but not for the actual system volume.
Running Monx's rom and wondered if anyone had that ability yet?
Many thanks.
I don't know but maybe this can help, what you think?

Yea i've actually tried that out m8, works ok but doesn't alter the steps on the volume.
Not sure if i was as clear as i could be m8 sorry, you know the volume sliders?
Well when expanded theres three of them, the media one when the volume slider mod has been installed is very smooth with what seems like 100s of steps, but the actual volume (the one you say when volume is not expanded) has around 10 - 20 steps max, no where near as smooth as the media one, basically i'm trying to get it so that both volumes are the same and act as smooth as they should.

Now perfectly clear. I checked and you are right. Music, Video,Games & other Media slider working smooth like 5x (100 steps), Ringtone & Alarms 20x (20 steps).
Sure the output Volume can be Increased or decreased but really don't know how to modified the scrolling of the sliders, somewhere on system perhaps.

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

Changing volume steps

Hi,
Can anyone help?
Im using a variant of stock, and would like to change the volume steps to fit with the steps in MacroDroid (30 steps).
I known you can do it on AOSP ROMs, but was wondering if there was a file I could edit manually if no app is available?
Thanks!

And if there was a way to set min volume to anything < 14% that'd be great too
This was easy to achieve back in the Exposed days, but not anymore. Maybe there's a Magisk module to achieve this, haven't tried Magisk on LOS so can't tell.
In case you have root, add the following line to your build.prop with build prop editor from the play store:
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Edit; And reboot
Also looking for this but tried this setting and there seems to be no difference?
Edit: I am trying to change the ringtone volume, perhaps that's a different setting than media_vol?
I Agree the ring and notification volume need more steps, the lowest it too loud. Or add increasing volume for both at least.

Is it possible to separate ringtone and notification control volume ?

Hi,
I am about to buy a brand new N7P. But, as it's under andrdoid one, i would like to know if there are the same issues as for others android one phones.
Indeed, i had a xiaomi mi A2 for 2 days, i returned it because the control volume for notification (sms, whatsapp...) cannot be separated with ringtone (when you receive a phone call). It's the same setting, you can only put different the sound for both, but you cannot change the volume separately.
Moreover, even at minimum level of volume, it's was way to loud, really too loud. I tried to change this with third party apps, without success.
Does the Nokia 7 Plus has the same issue as it's under android one ? I did not find any help on the manual we can see on the nokia website
Thanks for your help

Yes the "issue" is present, just one setting for ringtone volume
At the minute this is an Android Problem. However if you're willing to wait for the official Android Pie (9.0) to drop this will fix the issue.
If you can't wait you can always install the beta. But the beta WILL wipe your device
Unlock bootloader
Magisk Root
Xposed systemless + latest 8.1SDK
Ringer & Notification Unlink module from playstore.
And final result:

Thanks for your input, maybe i will try this solution.
But, what about the minimum volume level ? It it possible to set it less loud too ? I mean, the minimum level is, for my preference, too much loud, so can we adjust it more accurately ?
Thanks
For that i saw somewhere another xposed mod - volume steps or similar.
