Guest DirectCollect Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hi. Is it possible to increase the number of volume steps for media volume. Not to make the sound louder, but to give more granularity at the lower end? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 This depends on rom you are using. Cannot be done generally for every rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jamoh Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hi, You can try Fine Volume Control V2.0 which you can download from Google Play. As the title of the app says you can control the volume in quite small increments. It also allows to you obtain quite low volumes as well if you wish. I find it works well on the Skate. There is a free 24hr trial version. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redstarr1 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 You don't need an app for that (especially not a paid app). All it takes is changing some values in system (don't know which but there're probably plenty guys out there that do). Some roms have more volume steps of their own, like H3 Blues or its predecessor AtomICS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DirectCollect Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm still on the stock. It only seems to have about 10 volume levels. The difference in volume between mute and level 1 is too much. Needs about 20 or 30 levels I think. I have root, so can change some system config files if that can fix it.

Guest DirectCollect Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I did a google but one solution I saw involved downloading the SDK and hacking some hex codes in a file. I am not a programmer, just a user, so this is not something I would want to try. I had a look on the market but there is nothing apart from the paid app which was mentioned in this thread, and there was some negative feedback about it. At the end of the day I could just use some physical obstruction across the speaker to muffle it, but I thought I would look for a software fix first. Thanks. on a quick google. it seems it isn't too hard to do. have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TouchyAndalou Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Try H3RO's rom, it has 100 steps! If that's too many, it also has add-ons to can reduce the number of steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 @DirectCollect Do you have just root or you also have clockworkmod recovery? If so, send me your framework.res (you will find it in /system/framework dir) and I can make a modified one for you. All you need to do is tell me how many steps you want. I will then send you zip to flash (including the one with original framework.res for backup purposes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Ahhh. Hold up. Stock rom will be odexed so this won't be possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you give me a link for step by step instructions on how to flash yours? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) I can but mine has 15 vol steps only for media I think (not sure now). And has Dolby for better audio. For easy installation follow Option 1 at http://www.modaco.co...-now-available/ This will also install clockworkmod recovery automatically. After flashing go to online update kitchen to upgrade from 1.1 to 2.4 Be aware that this will also repartition your internal memory so you'll have 150MB system partition (stock is 235MB). So you'll get almost 90MB more on data partition. Also be aware that some roms (like ICS) require bigger system partition but you can easily repartition memory yourself using TPT Helper application from Play store when needed. I recommend to make a backup of stock ROM before you decide to flash something else. Some info can be found here: http://www.modaco.com/topic/351269-backup-original-rom/page__p__1920786__hl__backup%20stock Edited June 16, 2012 by C3C0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
