How to Separate Ringtone & Notification Volume on Mate 20 Pro? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

I keep my ringtone at volume 10 (loudest), and it is very annoying to experience the same level of volume with the notifications.
I would like to have a control on it. The notification volume should not be more than level 6 at home !
RINGER + NOTIFICATION + SYSTEM = all Linked on Mate 20 Pro
Is there any solution for this? Any decent app?

Same problemi. Please help us.

Ringtone / Vibration customization

Hi, I read quite a few threads about the various combinations in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0 registry key, but it seems no one has yet found a combination to get pulse vibration during a continous ringtone play (instead of the "av0pw3r" standard which causes a continous vibration) ?
come on guys, 177 views already, i'm sure someone somewhere has the answer

Hello! Did you found a solution? I want the same case...(vibrate with pauses and play long melody at the same time)
Thanks for your reply
Yes it is possible, you have to use a third party software though, mortscript.

and to use with mortscript, treovibe.

[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!

Probably nothing you can do for that, also would be a better idea to post this in the super nexus ROM section here

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.
Btw, I think you might want to have toggles and battery % mode right? I can post the link when I come home. I'm outside right now.

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.

The app "Browser" doesn't work at screen dpi 264 & 268. I've tried other higher values, however the soft menus at the bottom of the screen are not properly centered.
Is there a way to change app dpi without using xposed?

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.

Just in case you missed, the builtin percentage (settings - battery - show %) is there. But it is not inside the icon though.

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'm not sure how to install it on our new update, but I was using Viper4Android before the update. It is capable of making the volume even louder/quieter.

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.

New user; several issues

Hello guys, Mate 9 user since it launched but just got a M10P last week. Unrooted BLA-L29 8.0.0.141(C636patch01)
I have a few issues and I think it'll be better to put them together here.
1. I feel power saving is more aggressive. Sometimes my WhatsApp only update messages when I open the app. I've set it to manual allowed autostart, also run in background still it does that. Also in network under mobile I've ensured everything is ok.
The above problem also applies to Twitter, yahoo and others.
2. The Mate 9 has an average sound and unfortunately the 10 pro is worse. So I got two apps; volume booster GOODEV (which improved sound level) & Trumedia (which improved sound quality; bass and treble). Unfortunately, they keep going off and I'll have to reopen them. Also at reboots or if I close all open apps.
Is there a way to get them stick and work permanently?
Or is there a very good volume app that doesn't require root?.
3. I use navbar app an also roundscreen corners. Unfortunately, the roundscreen corners app overrides the overlay of navbar app. Is there a way to get them work together?
Thanks guys.
For Notification & Sync of whatsapp & other application do check ignore Battery optimizations & Launch in battery Settings.It will work for sure.

I have heard of this issue but never experienced it. I recommend leaving whatsapp on Auto in battery settings
I think the Mate 10 has great Sound. Note, that on the highest Volume Level there is a boost. It becomes notably louder but bass is goin away... for best experience use the second loudest. I dont thin you can have those apps running all the time... my mate 10 pro sometimes even kills google maps navigation while driving. I really wonder why they put 6gb ram in this phone lol
I only use the XDA navbar and it keeps working... I dont really think you can have both. Personally, proper corners are one reason why i bought the mate...hated rounded corners on my s8+

Thanks a lot, I'll try it. Once saw it, like an iPhone x navigation I think.
You should try adding your Google maps to excepted apps for battery optimization in "special access" settings.
If you're looking to increase volume or have presets then I would recommend equalizer pro. No root required and I'm using perfectly with Spotify.
Other than that I understand you can install the audio fx APK package from lineage but it doesn't work in basic speaker mode.

Separate volume controller for caller, notification and system sounds

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 ???
