on mx player it's possible to control volume by swiping up and down. Very fast and useful feature. Especially on bulky tablet. It would be neat to have this everywhere. It can be implemented by sweaping up and down on edge of the screen. To minimalize wrong swipe interpretation this functionality could be active only when sound output is active and keyboard is hidden.

Hello together,
Does anyone know if and how it is possible to controll allways the volume of your complete phone with the scroll wheel?
For example:
When you are playing music with the media player and the player is running in the background. On your display you have another application running like TomTom. Now, if you want to change the volume of the music, you have to take the media player to you display and than you can change the volume with the scroll wheel.
Is it possible, with a register setting e.g., to controll the volume of the music without taking the media player to the display?
Thanks for help.
Greetings Pudl
I'd like to that too. I'm used to be able to do this with my treo 700wx... I'd like my p4000 to do this....
this wisbar cab in post # 12 will do the trick:

Been seeing a few people talk about the soft buttons getting in the way while using the pen. It's a matter of timing and the pen has to touch the screen before your hand does to keep the buttons from being activated.
However, I did see a review that mentioned something that would be great.
I'm sure that someone could write an app that would control which set of soft buttons would be activated based on rotation. Is this API open within the Flyer so that someone can control them?
In portrait mode I'd actually prefer that the buttons on the left side be active, and in landscape I'd prefer the buttons on the "bottom" of the Flyer be activated - this would be the reverse of the current implementation (actually I'd really prefer to be able to control both independently).
This would solve a few issues. It would prevent users from touching the buttons with their hand while writing, but it would also put the buttons next to your hand while you're holding the device instead of having to move your hand to access the buttons you'd be able to do it with your thumb.
That sounds like a clever idea. I would use that feature if it existed.
It is a fantastic idea, I would pay for it!
I'd like to remap my volume keys so when i long-press them i can perform and specific function, even when the screen is locked.
I know CM7 had a feature you can map the keys for camera or next/prev track for music app, but what i would like is a Long-press option for screen brightness.
I also understand there are apps like widgetlocker which allow me to adjust from the lockscreen, but this doesn't work if i'm getting a call (with the sun beaming down its hard to see who's calling). Maybe there is an app on the market for rooted devices i'm missing?
I think this would be a cool feature and could have many uses, not just brightness/camera(no need on 3VO)/music.
any dev think its possible or can take a crack at it?
There is this app for iPod Touch called Activator (only when jailbroken) which lets me bind lots of controls to different buttons. For instance, when I hold the volume up key, I can set the device to play the next song. Or when I hold the power key, it toggles rotation on or off.
Now I'm wondering if there is such an app for android, especially to control the music (previous/next song, pause, play, ..) with hardware keys.
1) since turning on buttonmapper in accessibility, I can't make it louder and quieter by holding the button. the slider jumps one position.
2) how to add functions from outside the list of default actions?
