(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.

1. no
2. set up viper4android according to your ears. volume can be increased, but it wont be a huge increase, and it will be mostly through your headphones.
3. questions go into the q&a section, not the general section, where people dont look to answer questions.

Let’s face it. Even at max volume, sometimes the speaker on your phone just isn’t loud enough (Yes, I’m looking at you Nexus 5). *However, you*could digitally raise the maximum volume that the speaker allows itself to go to. This will require a rooted android device and could run the risk of damaging your speakers if you go too high, so be warned.
What You will Need:
A rooted Android DeviceES File Explorer
Step 1: Mounting the System
Open up ES file explorer and enable the root explorer. *Then tap on the root explorer tab and a menu will pop up. *Select the Mount R/W tab and mount both*system and /*as*r/w.
[http://www]*[http://www]*[http://www]
Step 2: Locating the mixer_paths.xml
Now, navigate to*/System/etc*and open up the*mixer_paths.xml*with ES note editor. *Before you start making changes, go up into the settings and select*edit*on the file.
[http://www]
Step 3: Changing the Speaker Volume
To change the speaker volume, look for the line*RX7 Digital Volume*under the*Path name= Speaker*and change the value to whatever you desire. *(Going over 95 has the potential of blowing your speaker though).
[http://www]
Step 4: Changing the Headphone Volume
To change the headphone volume, *look for the lines:
<ctl name=”HPHL Volume” /
<ctl name=”HPHR Volume” />
Change the values to 20. *Don’t go beyond 20. *You can also change the RX1 and RX2 values to something like 85, once again, don’t go beyond 95.
[http://www]
Afterwards,*reboot*and you should notice an increase in volume. *Feel free to play around with the other volume settings found in the mixer_paths.xml, just make sure you have a backup and not to blow out your speaker! Android Boost speaker volume success!

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

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.
