Since I'm kind of interested in this, I went looking for info on it...

Perhaps this might be of some interest? If it's possible to hook the window creation events, and change the parameters it should be possible to stop the window being created?

I haven't looked at the code yet though...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Thanks for the link but the problem is that the WH_SHELL hook is not available on Windows Mobile.

SNAPI will not work too as the active window isn't changed.

But there must be a way to hook it as the FingerSuite does something similar with the FingerMessagebox.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Given this is linked I'd guess that's how FingerMessageBox works (the other links seem to be for other things) but I can't download the code for some bizarre reason... My guess is it could be changed to hook CreateWindow/CreateWindowEx and then see whether the window was the "Volume" window and interrupt...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
This looks really good but I can't download the code either - too bad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
I got some links and tips from the author of FingerSuite. It is some really advanced code so I have to study it first.

Real hook I am on my way!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Hehe... Is it a more low level hook than what you have currently?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
You can't go lower :cool:

What folder do you install this to?

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drew2000:
Thanks

This works great on my HTC Wizard, thanks for the hard work and a program that works well and adds to the customized look of my PPC. By the way HButton works also to map the hardware buttons at least on my PPC. Here is the link..............

Volume Icon Issue

I think you have a great utility here.

The only problem I'm having is when I tap the volume taskbar icon, sometimes SetVolume comes up, and sometimes it doesn't.

The times that it

does not

come up, it usually will after I tap the icon a second time.

Is there any way I can get this to work consistently? A registry hack maybe?

I have read through this entire thread and know that this feature has been fairly elusive for you but I know that you will get it right soon enough.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Hi,

I know that the way I hook the icon is not working very well. I am currently working an a far better solution that would also remedy the issue with overriding the default behavior of the volume buttons in some applications.

Set volume

I installed this, but I have not been able to find how to use it. I did find the files, but no exe file. Please can you help?

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] da_reeseboy:
Thanks for the awesome program! I've been trying to setup a wm6.5 rom without htc dialer (and HTC Volume since they only seem to work together) and this has been a great replacement for HTC Volume. The only thing I noticed is when I use the hidden button in the top right to close the window then HTC task manager on the taskbar stops working. If I just let SetVolume hide on its own then I have no probs. Its not a big deal at all, I just thought I would make the bug known...

Thanks again for such an awesome, finger friendly volume control. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ozone777:
The top right invisible button actually terminates the SetVolume application while letting it time-out only hides the app and keeps it running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] da_reeseboy:
Is that controlled by the "X" button settings in task manager? Mine is set to minimize on press and close on press and hold.

Is there a way to change the step size?

At the moment I can go from mute to 100% with only 5 clicks. I would prefer a more detailed stepping. How can I do that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Window Mobile only supports 5 steps natively.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ponchofiesta:
But the FM Radio has a much more details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
This is possible as the FM Radio "owns" the audio stream and can change the volume of it. SetVolume doesn't interact with the audio stream of the device and so it can't manipulate it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moesfeld:
Would it be possible to have a NOGUI version only for commandline use?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Is there any way to have a command line parameter to close / unload the program?. "-close"

I have an Omnia and the volume buttons are used for zooming. When I want to use the camera I have to remember to open SetVolume and click the little cross on the corner to close the process.

I tried 'killing' it with mortscript but that upsets the phone. It hangs when I try to run anything. I guess that process doesn't like being killed.

So anyway a parameter that would do the same thing as the close button would be great.

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] semmtexx:
How would I go about making this work for WQVGA device(omnia)? Is it just a matter of resizing the files? And if so, will I need to use photoshop if I'm resizing the transparent skin files so they keep their transparency? Thanks and great work!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Hi,

resizing the skin files is enough to make it work. Well it is working without resizing the files but it is stretched.

You can use a free tool like Paint.Net to resize the png. The most important thing is that the file is saved as 32bit png.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] semmtexx:
Cool man! Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] semmtexx:
Hey marcLandis, I have been using it for a few hours now with the transparent skin (QVGA) only image I edited so far was backgroundL.png just to cover the whole screen in landscape. Other than that it works just fine graphically in portrait mode. I have had to restart it a few times and sometimes it automatically reverts back to volume on if I set it to vibrate. I like it alot though. Thanks for the work!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kransky.dan:
Hi all,

I'm a dumb arse when it comes to this stuff.

Have tried searching google and also this site but I cannot find how to implement the files to make it work on my phone.

Are there instructions on how to take the files and add them to my phone, step by step?

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. 23038 breaks the volume buttons and I added a startup shortcut to this and I'm happy again :D thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wordsmith9091:
Marc -- Great to see you've picked up development of SetVolume again. I'm a big fan of it.

Curious -- Any more luck in better hooking the volume icon in the taskbar to SetVolume? I did a search for "icon," but all I turned up were some posts about how you had a new method in the works, back around the time of the 0.5.0 release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
Marc, could you release SetVolume as OEM package too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Thank you. It works great now on the Omnia with a mortscript to close it before running the camera and re-opening it after.

run("\My Storage\Program Files\SetVolume\SetVolume.exe", "-close")

sleep(1000)

runwait("\windows\Camera.exe")

run("\My Storage\Program Files\SetVolume\SetVolume.exe", "-hide")

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Sorry if I missed it, but I am trying to get the program to play a sound when changing volume( like HTC Volume Control). I see a setting in the skin.ini, but even when I select a sound that I have on device it does nothing. I have tried also putting the sound into the program folder as well.

As a sidenote, with the newer builds of wm6.5 the volume buttons are not opening HTC volume control. I see you are able to "hook" those keys, any way you can look into hooking them soi HTC Volume Control will work again?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
This might be a bug. I will look into this.

I guess that the hooking method they use doesn't work with the latest builds. It may be as simple as a changed window or process name. Unfortunately I can't do nothing about that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Thank you. Hopefully HTC will start updating some more stuff soon for these newer builds. Let me know about the sound thing when you get to it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nonpaq:
Just to let you know this app works on HTC Herald with WM6.5 build 23031. It restores the side slider volume function that was changed to scrolling with the latest builds as long at SetVolume is running in memory. Unfortunately, it stops functioning while in a call. Is it supposed to control in-call volume? After the call is over, the system/ringer volume control works again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
InCall volume is currently not supported.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nonpaq:
"currently".... so are you planning on adding it sometime in the future? I would love this. Your app is the only way I have found so far for restoring the volume control keys of my device in the latest wm6.5 builds to their old function. However, its not a major issue since I dont change in-call volume that often (its usually on MAX).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fredcatsmommy:
I'm running Energy's rom for a cdma TP, WM6.5. The hook key function doesn't seem to work. I'm only able to get the volume key to start SetVolume if I link it using AE Button Plus, and then it doesn't close properly. Any ideas? thanks!

There should be a folder "400x240" in the skins folder. The wqvga skins should be in that folder.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
You should be installing to device memory and not My Storage.

Just one question, is it possible to change volume by 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, ...) not by 20 (20, 40, 60, ....)

If not never mind it's just a question :)

HTC LargeTitleBar is a titlebar enlargement from HTC. It looks like (screen).

When i press on volume icon it shows standard windows volume control.

When LargeTitleBar is disabled, volume hook working fine

Version 0.7.0 released!

Support for in call volume.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evertec:
Thanks for all your work on this great program. I tried the latest version, however the in call volume doesn't seem to do anything. The indicator changes but the volume doesn't. Do you think this could be conflicting with the HTC volume that was cooked in previously?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
In-call volume also does not work for me. I installed on a 6.5.1 ROM without htc volume cooked in, so it's probably not due to a conflict with that. The indicator goes up, but volume remains low. When you make in-call volume screen appear again by pressing volume up, it displays as being on the lowest volume setting (ie the previous change of turning it up did not 'stick'). It sounds like the in-call volume is always set at the lowest level and does not change with hardware buttons or on-screen + symbol.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
I am currently looking into this and try to fix it as soon as possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holy_moly:
Hi Marc,

the In Call Volume does have also no effect on LG KS20 (same MSM7200 chip like HTC TyTN II, Touch Cruise & Touch Dual). But default volume is pretty loud, like you activate speaker for hands-free talking. :eek:

Where can I download SetVolume V0.6.1 or V0.6.0 without In Call Volume? Because as long I used V0.5.0, I could change In Call Volume thru System Volume.

BTW could you also add a basic EQ to SetVolume?

Trebel and Base Is maybe possible by the default Windows Registry values

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Bass (DWORD - 0 > ?)

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Trebel (DWORD - 0 > ?)

Danke
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vblbros:
how do you switch between system and ringer volume?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holy_moly:
Just tab on "System Volume" text to switch to "Ringer Volume" screen.

Tab again to go back.

BTW

Everybody who's looking for V0.6.1 without "In Call Volume" function, can download that version here: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/09...iendly-volume-changer-for-windows-mobile.html

Would it be as simple as toggling:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]

"Screen"=dword:00010000

;"screen"=dword:00000000 vibrate

or toggling the ringer setting bit for vibrate:

Sorta looks like they are binary settings where windows is setting the bits for different options:

0001 = ring....................1 decimal
0010 = vibrate................2 decimal
0100 = flash lled..............4 decimal
1000 = display message....8 decimal

found here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone]

"Options"=dword:8000000D

Mmmm... music players that can modify system volume (mortplayer as an example) can do it with small steps, is it a trick ?

No that is no trick. They implement their own volume routine. I can only use what the device can provide.
