Separate volume controller for caller, notification and system sounds - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I'm using MIUI 10.0.6.0 global stable.
There is just one volume controller for Calls, notification sounds and system sounds, so it's not possible to control them individually, either all decrease or all increase.
Suppose I want to reduce system volume, but want Caller sound volume full, so there is no way to do so.
I tried few 3rd party app, but no sucess. Any workaround of this issue ???

I have same problem, any solution?

It's xiaomi's fault. MIUI has always been like that and no workaround. Use non-MIUI based ROM if you want full control.

No man. I came on xda looking for solution. It's a minor issue but surely it's very annoying sometimes

Can you tell me what app did you use?
There is an xposed module to separate RInger & Notif volume. But idk whether you can install xposed on miui 10 or not.

[Q] SuperNexus - I9100 - BUILD 5 Bug

Hello,
This is must first post on XDA so i could not post this in the appropriate thread.
Firstly, thank you very much for an amazing ROM!!! Very impressive work!!
I have now been using it for a day or so and found, what i think may be a "slight" bug.
When I open the Dialer and press a key, the volume of the key tone appears/sounds to be on max. Once pressing the volume rocker, the volume then returns to the required setting.
I am not sure if this is a known issue... or if this is unique issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If it really annoys you that much you could always flash CM9 stable as looks wise there very similar
My intention was to just notify the developer
Maybe some other time I will try CM 10

Hi,
The rule of "10 posts" is really annoying for me too. Anyway, to answer your question, the volume in dialer (i.e. when you press numbers) depends on the volume rocker set in the sound section (under settings). I am using Supernexus Build 5 with Dorimanx 7.4 kernel + Gapps 4.1.2 (the 11-10-12 one).
I hope that can help you fix that issue. Let me know if it helps you.
P.S: Don't be afraid of asking. We all learn from each other, right? Btw, build 5 is super smooth with Dorimanx 7.4 (default settings => no overclock or whatsoever).

I am loving it. Seems there is not way to "solve" this bug.
What advantage does Drominax give you? Do you have a link to it?
There is another really small issue. When I lock the screen the lock animation does not always show. Have you noticed this?
Do you know how i can lower the notification tones without affecting the ring volume?

Sorry, I wasn't too clear about your volume issue. So here is what I did:
Go to Sounds -> Volumes -> you will see 3 kinds of volumes that you can adjust (music media & others is the one affecting dialer volume). Other 2: ringtones (won't be affected when you use the volume rocker of the phone) and alarm (the same as ringtone: no effects from volume rocker).
The Dorimanx is a kernel with the option to overclock (use an app like: Rom Toolbox Lite). The kernel from build 5 is CM10 modified by Faryaab. Just try it and you will see how smooth it is. It's a CWM zip file. Do a NANDROID backup before you install this kernel just in case you don't like it.
The lockscreen animation depends on the settings under Development (Settings). Just keep 3 of them at 1x or 0.5x will give you the effect.

That animation looks like when you turn off an old TV, right? I think it's called CRT animation/effect or sth like that.

[Q] [MOD REQUEST] Lower Minimum Brightness/Volume

At night even at 0% brightness I find the phone too bright and would like a way to lower it. I also think the minimum volume level is too loud to be comfortable in a quiet room and would like a method to lower that as well. My last request is a technique to seperate ringtone and notification volume levels. If any of these are actually possible through MODs without hobbled fixes by apps in the Play Store, I would love it! I'm running a modded stock non-deodexed ROM with unlocked bootloader and ROOT. Please help and thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Will modifying these values enable the phone to go lower than the stock 0% brightness? I don't use auto brightness and keep my DNA at 0% brightness most of the time, only going higher in sunlight.

I don't know if you'll consider this a "hobbled app" fix, but I've been using Power Toggles to substitute for my CM habit.
You can adjust notification and ringtone volumes from the notification drawer that way.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it out and while it does have separate sliders for the two volumes, it does NOT actually work. The two volumes are still tied together in practice. After ICS I think I've read its linked at a system or kernel level and I was hoping someone might work on a fix to address this. Also, referring to "hobbled" app fixes, I saw an app that used a workaround by switching to a custom ringtone to adjust that volume separately but was hoping for a streamlined system built in mod so that I don't have any extraneous apps or screens to delve into to adjust settings. I like minimalistic and debloat anything I dont use. Thanks again for the feedback.
i agree 100% with the sound being too loud, which has been an issue since ICS on even the Rezound...so i think their whole upgrade of the newer OS's made the volume louder. the rezound, on lowest sound level, was 20%..that's ridiculous, it should be half that, or around like 5%. even changing volume steps never worked because there was no lower volume.

CM12 is out

I downloaded CM12 this morning using the updater. Auto update worked but lots of upgrade issues. Must update Framework but then things got better. Chrome is broken so I'm using stock browser. Recovery is awful. Make a backup before doing it but it sure is a start!

how did you install gapps? the recovery wont let me install them
I was able to. I had to copy it to internal sdcard though.
If you have FC crashes try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps. That helped me with several like News and Weather and Newsstand and Drive.

Pretty decent nightly, had issue with backlight setting that messed up screen brightness after screen lock. Had to reflash, there was no way back. I would suggest people avoid playing with backlight setting for the meantime.

Daily?
Just toght that the cm11 build did not get daily updates...
My Bluetooth is working fine, both to my Pebble watch and car.
I'm not sure what's up with backlight on this build. You have two options that seem to be the same on the DISPLAY settings, one says "Adaptive Brightness, Optimize brightness level for available light" and the other says "Adaptive Backlight, Dynamically adjust the brightness of the display's backlight to maximize battery life while maintaining usability".
The first one seems to adjust properly, and the slider bar does seem to set the upper limit for this level.
The 2nd one is a bit more problematic, I'm not really sure it works or how it functions in conjunction with the other one.
Anyone figure this out yet?
BTW I tried the full version of Lux with both of them turned off and it didn't end up well, the screen became so dark I ended up having to reboot and remove it.

restarted my phone two times and got BT audo, spotify works fine, but if i start Valiant Hearts the audio get realy static and laggy
EDIT:
New build just Launched!
Could you post some Screenshots? I'd like to see how application box and the main screen look like
Thanks!
Anyone tried from clean flash?
Has anyone tried flashing the nightly after doing a complete wipe? Seems like many of the problems mentioned may be avoided by a clean install.
If someone has done a clean install, can you let us know if there are any bugs remaining?
Thanks

My understanding of the Z Ultra is that the kernel and recovery are both on the boot partition and are not actually separate. If you install TWRP or Philz you will wipe the CM12 kernel out and you won't boot, just be able to get into recovery. Those recoveries are built for stock/stock based installs where you can replace the kernel.
We will just have to wait for a good CM12 Recovery or boot to CM11 and use its recovery to backup /data and then reinstall CM12 before you boot up. I think I've seen that refered to hot booting recovery.
Please feel free to correct me if you are a dev and know more about this than me.

Had the same issue. Just leave the second one (adaptive backlight) enabled and the dark screen should stop. You can adjust the first one at will

Lets mod the new 5.1 update

There are a lot of things I want/need to do with the new update. No one is really talking about it, I know a lot of people probably haven't even updated yet. But I figured it would be nice to have a thread where these things can be addressed and updated as we get them done.
Xposed - The big one. Currently gets stuck in bootloop with the Unofficial version of Xposed for 5.1. Bootloop is easily fixed by running xposed-uninstaller in TWRP.
Change Phone DPI - currently working - *Requires Root* Change it how you usually do. Edit build.prop, or use an app like RomToolBox. I find that 264 works well and looks good. @xordos has a comprehensive guide here.
Apps don't auto-start after reboot - Partially fixed - *Requires Root*use a program like TitaniumBackup to install the apps you want to start at boot as a "system app". This will allow them to start after a reboot, but you will need to reconfigure them after you convert them. Do this for apps like Viper, over-clocking apps, and Tasker. Credit to @Iguanadon
3rd Party Launchers not sticking after reboot - Fixed - *Requires Root* All you have to do is freeze the stock launcher. Use a program like TitaniumBackup, find "Huawei Home" and freeze it. Make sure you have Nova or another Launcher installed first!
Battery Percentage in status bar - Until xposed is working there is a neat little app that allows you to have an overlay on your battery icon like this. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. The app can be found here. Might want to leave accessibility access off, because it pops up a window everytime you plug or unplug the charger. Doesn't seem to start at boot. Could be annoying to launch the app every time you reboot...depends how often you do it.
Lockscreen - Stock one is horrible compared to stock lollipop. It is kind of pretty, but it takes multiple swipes to unlock sometimes, it doesn't show any notifications, its basically wasted space. I would like the stock Lollipop lockscreen. Anyone have any ideas besides the not so great one in the Playstore? I would rather have an official system lockscreen. On jellybean you just had to freeze the Huawei lockscreen. Now if you freeze Huawei Keyguard, the there is no lockscreen at all. Just the screen turns on and you're on your launcher home-screen. I tried finding the lockscreen app on a cm12 device, but it looks like it's built into the systemUI. I am currently using CM Locker. It's pretty nice, has notifications, and doesn't seem to have a delay like most 3rd party lockscreens.
Multitask screen - Again, I would like the stock Lollipop one, also built into the SystemUI. Once we have xposed, there is a pretty nice app here. Then you can assign the multitask button on your nav bar to open that instead. Worked well for me on jellybean.
The carrier text in the status bar - Fixed - Disabled in settings>display>display carrier name (thanks @xordos)
Boost speaker volume and possibly fix audio cut out bug - somewhat fixed - *Requires root* It's really quiet for some reason, considerably quieter than it was on Jellybean....I have had success with Viper4. Make sure you have BusyBox installed, and run it it at least once to install the framework. Then launch Viper4 and do all the stuff it tells you....Install driver, disable LPA, etc. Enable speaker master switch, enable "eXtra-loud" setting at the bottom, and change "Effect Strength" to Extreme. I noticed about a 20-30% volume increase from this. Might need to be launched again after a reboot, or install as system app. As a bonus, this app/driver also seems to fix the terrible audio bug where audio cuts out, and the phone starts lagging. Only 99% sure, but it hasn't happened to me while its active.
Change boot animation - Pretty standard guide I made here. This post includes the stock Lollipop animation.
If anyone has another thing or two they want fixed, I can add it here. If I find any answers I will update as well.
Carrier text, this can be disabled in settings - Display.

Nope. You can either keep upping the whole phone DPI little by little, or maybe use a different browser. I haven't noticed any discrepancies yet in my apps with 264.

Volume Increase
Any way to increase the volume steps so that the audio is louder? I have the volume all the way up and sometimes I can't really hear what I'm listening to unless I hold the speaker to my ear or wear headphones. I was using an xposed module to do this, but until xposed becomes available is there anything that works to increase the volume so its louder? The xposed mod I was using is called Volumesteps+ and can be found at http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.p1ngu1n.volumesteps . any help would be appreciated.

I tried it when I had 4.3 and couldn't really tell any difference. I tried it again this morning with not much luck either. It just doesn't seem louder than what normal volume would be. I know its not going to be extremely loud. I just want something that I don't have to hold the phone to my ear to hear what they're saying. Also with viper it hasn't been setup for 5.1 yet only 5.0.

I tried it when I had 4.3 and couldn't really tell any difference. I tried it again this morning with not much luck either. It just doesn't seem louder than what normal volume would be. I know its not going to be extremely loud. I just want something that I don't have to hold the phone to my ear to hear what they're saying. Also with viper it hasn't been setup for 5.1 yet only 5.0.

On my nexus 5(which also had a horrible speaker), you could edit the mixer_paths.xml to boost the volume. I tried it on my Mate2, and couldn't really notice a difference.
After installing busybox, the viper4 driver, and disabling the LPA setting it recommends to, I can say Viper makes a noticeable difference for me. Probably about 25-30% louder.
Make sure you Enable the master switch at the top for speaker, and the "eXtra loud" setting at the bottom, and put Effect strength on Extreme.
Edit: Added my method to original post, with links.
Added boot animation guide.
ArcAngel, I have been trying mate 7 themes that were posted in the mate 7 xda forums. They are emui themes. They seem to work except that the fonts don't seem to load. In fact, I haven't been able to detect any font in the sdcard.

Do you have a link? I only see one Theme over there for 3.0, but it does look pretty nice.
Also updated original post with all the 3rd party launchers I have found with transparent nav/status bars. There's a lot, but none of the ones I would really like to use. Here's looking at you Nova/Apex. :crying:

Delayed screen wakeup

I'm facing an issue with screen wake up with my kenzo in Nougat 7.1.x roms. The screen takes more than a second to wake up, and the issue occurs both while using the fingerprint scanner as well as using the power button to wake. On succesful scan/power button press, the button backlights come on immediately, but the screen comes on only after a second, and sometimes even more.
This issue was also present till MIUI 8.0.6.0, but was resolved in the MIUI 8.1.1.0 update. I also tried Xiaomi EU rom and it did not exhibit the issue at all.
I know a mere one second delay is not something to rant about, but still it gives the perception of a cheap underpowered phone, despite having one of the most powerful SOCs around. The fingerprint scanner is really quick and this issue doesn't do justice to it.
What can I do to speed up the screen wake up in custom ROMs?
P.S: I use Radon kernel in all the custom ROMs that I flash. Anything to do with that? And, please DON'T suggest me to go and stick with MIUI!!
Regarding Radon. Which version did you use? I think it was 3.7 were they changed something that slowed down the wake up. It should be fixed now in 3.8
If you're using 3.8, let the developer know they may be able to sort it out.

I've been using Radon right from version 3.7.4, and am now on 3.8. I have tried wakeup boost as well, and noticed no real difference.

Wake up boost doesn't do anything for me either. Have you adjusted any other settings, like minimum frequency? It could be that too. I'd reflash the kernel, set balanced profile and don't touch anything in KA (maybe disable it to prevent changes) and see how that goes.

I do the same as well. I flash Radon with balanced profile and don't touch anything in it except the sound settings.
Post something in the kernels thread here at XDA, see what they have to say. It could be something they can fix.

Is it really related to the kernel? Or does it have anything to do with the ROM?

The reason I think it could be the kernel because of earlier changes/reverts they did that slowed down the wake up. It could be entirely the ROM's fault. Does it happen with the stock kernel?

Need to check. I've never used stock kernel of any custom ROM.

Yes. I don't need dt2w at all. I've even turned off Ambient Display.
Cant solve this issue .... Present in 7.1.1 , checked in resurrection remix 5.8.1 ( on many Nightlies) and AOSP Extended 3.1 . Issue present on both stock and Radon kernel.
