Volume being too loud on minimum level is a side effect of dolby being turned on.
I had the similar feeling that it's too loud on SKatie, too.
When dolby is turned off, minimum level seems to be just fine.

[H3ROS]

Oddly I can't reproduce that with Dolby.

If I enable or disable it the audio still seems to jump from 0% (silent) to 27%. With the application suggested (Fine Volume Control) you can access the levels lower than the 27% just fine too.

I'm not sure where the minimum volume level would be set. It could be in the framework or it could be in one of the libs.

2.0 version is an incredible rom...!!
Any news about ics and stock themes?

[H3ROS]

I'll probably start working on other themes shorlty as I don't think theres any noticable bugs in the latest version. Just keep in mind that creating themes can take a while, although it should be much easier to theme towards ICS/JB since I can use the official resources

I'll create the addon so you can test it, but there will probably still be a jump for that first audio step. I'm not sure if it's kernel related, but I can't see any way to adjust it via the framework itself.

You might want to make a backup in clockworkmod before applying it.

Thx Very good

Oh i just seen this add on. Ill flash after work today!

Tested and i got the same result...0% nd then it jumps to 27%...I can live with that tho...Thanks for the 73 volume step mod :-)

[H3ROS]

I would like to find out where it gets the value from to do that first jump, but after scanning a lot of the framework and apk's for the value I can't see it anywhere. I'm not sure what effect adding an extra 27 would do to the 100 though, but if I had to guess it'll still have the jump and it'd then take 127 steps to get to 100%. As the same jumps in calls and notifications I'd say one of the libs has a minimum set value.

[C3C0]

Try AudioSystem.java. dBPerStep var.

[H3ROS]

Unfortunately that's not it. The jump seems to be coming from another function.

*EDIT*

I've figured out how to do it. Heres the smali:

add-int/lit8 v0, v0, 0x5
div-int/lit8 v0, v0, 0xa

And heres the java:

 private void setStreamVolumeIndex(int stream, int index) {

	 AudioSystem.setStreamVolumeIndex(stream, (index + 5)/10);

}

I don't have the time right now to play around with all of the values in every function to do the 100 steps, but a quick test has shown that this does indeed change the steps.

Hi H3ROS, may be the answer is very simple, but I cannot find a way to turn off the low-battery message (and the buzz) when it is lower than 15%. It's annoying when you're doing something being interrupted by that. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

You can disable the sound by deleting (or renaming) LowBattery.ogg in the /system partition. No way to disable the alert or the popup, I'm afraid.

[H3ROS]

I'll see if I can come up with a little hack to optionally disable the message, buzz and ringtone.

I´ve tested v2.0 and came across one strange thing: Provider name got lost from lockscreen and notification areaafter 1 our of playing around withe phone. This does not occur in v1.7. Anyone else with a similar or the same issue?

Anyway, great custum rom. Thanks to H3ROS for this great work.

[H3ROS]

When the provider name goes missing do you still have full signal? I'll double check something a little later which handles that. I know I made changes in that area to do with the date format amoung other things, and the carrier label is one of them settings which can behave differently depending on your network provider. Personally with Giffgaff they're there all of the time.

[Ecki1979]

There is no change in signal strength. Calls can both be established and received. I also noticed, that in the settings menu, where you can see all available networks, my one is available, but you can not read it, i.e. black font color on black background.

[H3ROS]

@ jlcb78
I've added an option to the sound/notification settings to totally disable the low battery alert. I'll release an update shortly.

@ Ecki1979
What phone network are you with?

If I can't locate the issue I'll try to shrink down the stock Orange UK ROM and you can test that if you want, just so I then know if the error is in their code or one of my own changes. It's probably going to be like finding a needle in a haystack so it may end up being easier for me to redo that whole section.

[Ecki1979]

My provider is congstar. congstar uses the T-Mobile network infrastructure in Germany. Network name is telekom.de.

I have the same problem with my new company which is Pepephone (It uses the Vodafone network in Spain). I think it depends on the company because I have recently changed from another one that I was able to read the name. Weird anyway.

And of course thanks a lot for this new option for the battery!!! You are a genius!!!

If you create a backup in clockworkmod and then flash the Orange UK signal boost addon found in the first post does that fix it? Them libs do handle the network connection and two of them I kept from 1.7 to undo the Orange changes.
