Sorry if this is something easy to do via settings that I may have overlooked. I was curious if there is any way to control all volumes with the volume rocker as single volume control. Although it's nice to have the option to control them individually I would love to be able to turn down all volumes using the rocker (Ringtone, Notifications, System etc). At the very least maybe Ringtone and Notifications. Thanks in advance!

I'm bumping this as I would really like to know this too. The ringtone and notifications go hand in hand and I'd really like to link them. It's handy to put the volume down with the rocker when going into a meeting, not so handy to have to expand the volume and slide the notifications too.
I'm using touch wiz (hyper actually), I'm not sure about OP.

Your best and easiest option is to download one of the many volume control apps in the market; specifically those that allow you to set and control volume presets from within a widget. A couple that come to mind include Volume Control+ and Widgitsoid. You won't be using the rockers, but you'll only need one or two soft-key clicks to quickly change to preconfigured volume settings.
Also note that when you change any of the volumes, there is a button on the popup that comes up which expands so that you can adjust any of the volumes.

Yeah that's what I wanted to avoid. I read in another thread about setting a tasker profile to link them. I never thought of that so I'm going to give that a try first.

That's what I'm currently doing. I'd just like to remove that extra step.
EDIT: I ended up configuring a tasker profile to automatically sync the volumes for me. The process is completely transparent so it is an acceptable solution for me.

What is Recent Plus!?
It is a small app in an early state that replaces the "recent apps" dialog that appears when you long-press the home button. It shows the recently opened apps as before but additionally shows a volume slider. See screenshots. Requires CM7.
UPDATE: Recent Plus in Market
Why?
As you all know, the nook color is a wonderful device but it is lacking hardware buttons. A typical and really nice remedy is to install keysmod / Hard-key editor and bind the volume buttons to back and menu. Problem: you can no longer easily change the current volume while in an app, especially when it is running in fullscreen.
It started with this post and I am now moving it here.
Requirements:
* a device running a recent nightly of cyanogenmod 7
Installation:
(0. install the keysmod so you have back/menu instead of the volume buttons)
1. install the apk that is attached to this post, UPDATE: Recent Plus in the Market
2. go to "Settings", "Cyanogenmod Settings", "Input", "long-press home settings": check "Use custom application" and then choose "Select custom application", tap "Applications" (yes, another tap here in that list! This is the first entry), finally select "Recent Plus!"
3. done. Now you can long press home to switch apps and change the volume
TODOs/Problems:
1. Not sure what happens with devices other than the nook and/or different roms
2. The number of recent apps can not be configured yet
Looking forward to your feedback!
History:
v0.7: (July 9, 2011)
color application label by status (white: running, gray: suspended, dark: closed) - can be turned off
fixed a force close bug when switching to apps in certain states
instead of force closing display an error message instead
Recent Plus in the Market
v0.6: (Apr 12 2011)
optional brightness slider (see settings)
v0.5:
crappy looking settings menu
select which volumes you want to control in the settings
v0.4:
fix android compatibility mode messing up the layout
v0.3:
visual stuff (Button background, longer app names)
different button layout in landscape/portrait
more apps
v0.2: initial release
(reserved)
Excellent app. My only problem is I cannot add recent plus as a custom application. I followed all of the steps exactly. Any advice?

I need more info. What does "cannot add as a custom application" mean? Could you follow all steps? Which Rom and which version are you running?
Kudos to you! This is exactly what I need to put everything together and eliminate the need to switch keys and such. Thanks for making an awesome app!
Ok, I figured out why I was only getting a small window that couldn't fit everything... I turned off Compatibility Mode in Spare Parts and now the Recent Plus window is big and works properly.
Does anyone have this working right at the default "on" setting for Compatibility Mode?
Nice idea. Works. Wishing i was on CM now

Worked fine for me. I also notice that there's an option in the settings to "show recent apps title". I unchecked it, but it still shows the title of the recent apps. Maybe you guys can work something out of it. Like having Compatibility Mode and still show the volume slider.
And, thanks.

The are currently no options you can change. The stuff in that settings menu only applies to the default recent app switcher application.
Works great. Landscape mode works well too. Only thing id like to see is it control the complete system volume, not just media. You really have a great handy app. Is this only compatible with cm7 or is there future plans to have it work with other builds.

Well, I can change it to affect all or only some of the different volumes. The thing is that I am not sure what is the best thing to do. The normal volume button is aware of the context and only changes that volume but I am not sure how to do that.
I don't like the idea of adding several sliders on the screen. Would having a settings menu to decide which volumes are affected help? Opinions?

Well, the app itself is independent of the rom, but you need a way to launch it using a hardware button. I am not aware of a way to do this without support in the rom. One might be able to do something like "tap home -> launch recent plus", "double tap home -> go to home", not sure. This is similar to the softkeys behavior...

Personally i would be fine with it doing full system volume, for my usage i dont think i need the ability to control different volume's. a settings option would be best for all around functionality for all users. i would suggest you hide it (press menu in app for it to show up) a settings menu would also give you ability to add features in the future if you choose so. I think there are people out there who would like this screen to do more then it does now. Myself all i want is a volume slider, This is much cleaner then having to use any other apps ive tried.
Thank you again for your hard work. This is going to be a staple apk, on my nook

A button to either pop out a selection menu or even to simply step through the different volume types with multiple presses might work. Tucked away behind the Menu button would make for a cleaner UI, though.
Media volume is the critical one to have by default, though, at least on a phoneless tablet... How often do people really have to change their Notifications volume on the fly? Adding a way to select the other volumes could certainly increase the app's usefulness outside the NC community, as well as to anyone who does constantly adjust the other volumes, though.
An option to adjust ALL volume levels with one slider would be very helpful, for instance when using with headphones -- see below.

Yeah, about that... I was listening to music at a nice comfortable level using headphones, when I received an email... since RecentPlus only adjusted the media volume, the notification sound was deafening and had my ears ringing for a few moments.

Or, use settings on the same page to attenuate them while using headphones, if you do want notification sounds out the 3.5mm jack.

Yeah, that was one of the first things I did with CM7 as I love that feature on my phone... and I've got Not, Ring, and Alarm all set to play on speaker -- however -- have you actually tried the "always play on speaker" feature?
I've got two NCs here, and it doesn't work on either one -- most recent: CM7n30.
Can other folks confirm that this feature is working properly?
Edit: Based on some experimentation with Tasker just now, I don't think the NC hardware is actually capable of determining when headphones are plugged in.

you require widgetsoid for this..
widgetsoid's notification direct multitouch toggle power widget does not work on the atrix. I tried it and also tried "notification toggle" too. Same thing, instead of toggling directly from the pull down, it opens up another box on the home screen that u have to select. Ive been trying to find an answer as to why it wont work and I keep getting that "your system might not support, "multiclick notification". I dont know. Anyone wiser have any insight?

Power Control Plus will add a customizable power control widget to your notification bar no mods needed.
Moved .
When your using notification widget when you drag your menu down are you able to have for example 4 toggles in one single row and each control them directly by clicking on each one? Whenever I do this and try clicking on a toggle it just opens up another box in the home screen and then I can toggle from there. It does not directly toggle from my one line of 4 toggles . This is the same issue with widgetsoid too. I have tried this stock and rooted and with all combinations of Ginger blur and gladattix. Still the same issue .

For grouping apps I'm using Nova Prime launcher and you can create different launcher tabs for what ever you like.
I believe the camera tone issue is legally motivated, in some places it is illegal to de-activate the camera sound I believe so I think this is why you can't turn it off from the settings, if you flash a custom ROM there is usually an option to turn it off (with a warning) but on stock ROMS usually not.
Hope that helps,
R.
Which launcher do u use?

If its touchwiz,there os an option to create a folder in the homescreen and drawer, just long click choose add to home screen and select folder, for the drawer clock on the menu button when in drawer mode, it will give u an option ro hidde aps amd also create folders...for the camera sound, root it...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm using touchwiz. I found out the option that you can create a folder in the homescreen but I was hoping to group the apps in the menu and not just hide them.
I also rooted my phone yesterday but I couldn't find anything to disable the camera tone. I guess l'm gonna have to install another launcher and see if sorts out.
Anyaway thanks,

I haven't (yet) rooted my phone, but I can take "shutter sound" away. You need to tick your volume rocker to minimize system sounds to silent. Then you can take pictures without shutter tone. Just remember put vol back up after.

Hmm maybe there really are localisation differences. Vol-key brings camera sounds off atleast in my device.
Hey guys,
My problem: I have an S7 edge, and the case that I got for it makes it a pain to use the volume buttons.
My solution: Use nova launcher prime to set a gesture to open volume settings.
I cannot find any way to get to the volume settings using the nova launcher. There are A TON activities you can go to, but I can only find "sound and notifications", which is ok for now, but still have to click "volume" afterwards. With so many options, I am sure there is a way to pull this off, curious if any of you lads have had any luck with this sort of thing.
Cheers,

I have a set up where I use this app >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures << and I point it towards a Tasker profile I made.
So basically with one swipe even on lock screen I can change the volume to any predefined level that I have made in Tasker.The beauty of this is I can use it with any launcher even stock and also change volume levels from the lock screen without opening my phone.
More information please
You'r solution sounds great. I have downloaded tasker and the gesture app, but it is definitely not a strait forward system.
Hate to be a bother, but if you could give a bit more detail on how to set up your system I would appreciate it!

Tasker as a bit of a learning curve basically you need to create a task under the Task settings press + sign at bottom of screen and name your task (Example loud or silent) Then press the + sign at the bottom of the screen and select Audio from there you can select many different options ie Ringer volume Notification volume System volume etc.
Once you have created you task save it then use the "All gesture" app to select the Tasker task you made under shortcuts and then assign it to a gesture ie corner of screen etc.You can then set up multiple tasks to different corners of your screen.
Sorry this is only a basic guide Tasker as many more features you can use but as I said its a bit of a learning curve (But worth it)
Thank you

Thank you,
This worked quite nicely.
I set my bottom left and right corners to high volume and mute.
This does the trick for now, would love to figure out a way to have a gesture open the quick volume menu which hovers over the screen, and shows the 4 volumes to adjust.
Thank you again!

Recently switched from Galaxy S8 to Pixel 6. One of the biggest differences is not having separate volume sliders for ringer and notifications. I've had to resort to assigning notification sounds to "None" in order to silence notification sounds with the ringer volume on. Does anybody know a better solution for this issue?

I've been using this for years. Works really well for me. Toggle in settings to separate ringer and notifications.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netroken.android.persistalternate
EDIT: I should mention that sometimes when you get a phone call the notification volume will get reset to the ringer volume. But you can reset by going to the native volume sliders and change the volume and then go back to the app to adjust.

The link doesn't work for me either and there is no "Volume Control +" by Netroken in the Playstore, only an app without the plus sign by him, Volume Control.
Even clicking on his name doesn't bring up any + version, so I'm guessing this must be the correct one?

You can also try the SoundProfile app - definitely allows me to set seperate ringer and notify volume levels on my Pixel 6.
I have actually combined it with Macrodroid to map my Volume Long Press up and down to set to normal and Vibrate mode - without having to interact with the screen - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-silent-or-vibrate-mode.4352081/post-85908539
Or you can just create widgets to select a specific profile..
Oh and Macrodroid itself also allows you to set individual volume levels for Ringer and Notification. I prefer the SoundProfile app - cos that can show a Vibrate icon in the status bar as well - so you can check with profile is active.
EDIT: Just realised that Macrodroid can also show icon in status bar and even on the lock screen.

Oh yeah. I had forgotten about this. I've used this in the past as well and if I remember it worked pretty well. Not sure why I stopped using it. Going to give it a spin again to see if I like it better than Volume Control +.
