Also make sure you make it to be able to make it default so when you press the volume on the topbar you app will open.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I have a couple of comments!

Currently, I've noticed the whole image changes with a change of volume, the background included... It would be faster to set the background as either a single, black colour, or a single image that doesn't change, and then have the central, volume part as either a smaller, square image, or a dynamically drawn item. This would also make the landscape implementation easier as the volume part could be a 240x240 block with the buttons anchored to the bottom left/right corners.

Another possible idea would be some implementation of a timeout, so that after 5 or so seconds without a touch, the app closes it self. This could be done by adding a timer control that on each tick adds one to a value and compares this with the timeout period, and every other event resets this timer count...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistonripper:
Make the background transparent.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
If you'd read the rest of the thread, one of the devs said it made the program run much slower...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mhrc4:
looks very promising!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistonripper:
I read the thread, but if its being recoding in c++ may be the "slowness" can be overcome...

Any good news for WM 2003SE users?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MasterOfDesasters:
no :( we have no 2003 device to test it. I'm not sure if it is enough to install the 3.5 .NET framework... try it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
For those with older devices/those who don't really want to lose 6MB of memory, would it be possible to port it back to .NET CF 2.0?

Is there a new version coming out with Vibration control yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Machineman:
Hi,

Looks great man!!! Awesome. Is there a way to set it to load when hiting the speaker icon on the homescreen?

I was looking for the Regkey that loads the volume settings when hiting the speaker icon but I was unable to find it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
Any updates Marc? I'm really looking forward to the in-call volume if you can get it working (though even without it, it's much better than the stock WM volume control :)).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Sorry that it takes so long but I am awaiting the birth of my son any time now. Once I have more time I will work on the issue again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
Congrats on the baby! That's definitely much more important :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eratical:
Isn't there a registry tweak to open SetVolume on clicking the icon in the taskbar?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shady313:
Its a really good step! For me the in call adjust shows but adjust nothing, but the first step is great, you only need to edit your program to change the correct registry values. Thx a lot for your work!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Frank2:
Hello,

is there a skin (like the htc-Design) with german words: "Lautlos" "Vibration" "System" "Klingeln"?

Volume Button Increment Adjustment possible?

Hello,

im not sure if i am right here and im sorry for not reading all the 59 pages now.

I tried out your software hoping it would fix my problem, but sadly it doesnt.

I searched with google for about 2 hours and i cant get a way to tell my HTC Diamond to increase/decrease the volume with smaller steps via the hardware buttons. Currently there are only 5 volume steps. It would be really nice to customize the number of volume steps or the per-step-% using the hardware buttons.

Do you think it would be possible to add this feature or does anyone know another solution for change the volume with smaller steps using the hardware button?

(Its very hard for me becaus im using the HTC remote control e100, there is no possibility to change the volume but using the hardware buttons :| )

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
WinMo only supports 5 levels natively.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w84100:
Hi,

i've installed version 0.7 to my WM 6.5.1 build from RTT Leed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562479

after i did a soft reset the system hang when i press the volume buttons. After a second press the system runs again but nothing is changing. Neither an indicator nor the volume is changing.

Do you have any idea if this is a conflict between the two volume controls or is your volume control not correctly working on 6.5.1. I have read about some other problems on WM 6.5.1 with this build.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drsloth:
In some software menus the volume can be changed in more than 5 levels,

that means you said there are natively only 5 levels for the hardware buttons, right?

Do you really think there is no possibility to change this number of levels, neither in the registry nor by overriding the default button event through another one with a software (e.g. AEBPlus, but i think they use default event handler) ?

I myself am a developer, but not expierienced with winmo. If you could give me a hint, possibly i could start my first winmo project, fixing this very annoying hardware-button-volume problem.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
In order to have more steps you need to route all audio through your application and then process the signal. This is something that has been asked a lot in this thread, but I don't have this on my roadmap.

10-grades skin

Hello everyone.

I was trying to create a skin with 10 degrees of loudness. But I failed.

I made it out of diamond wvga theme. Here is a link to text of my new diamondWVGA.ini:

http://dpaste.org/YCOk/

There are the appropriate files for 10, 30, 50 etc percent of loudness in the skin folder.

But the program shows up with only 5 standart degrees, as if I didn't change anything.

When browsing the skin with shown polygons - there are only polygons for five of the loudness degrees. There are gaps between them. Exactli where my custom degrees should be.

If anyone is interested in the same purpose - read it and tell me whats wrong.

Excuse my English - I am from Russia.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Only 5 steps are supported in WM and so the tool allows only 5 steps in a skin too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Röchelhilpert:
Hi Mark,

Is there any chance, that the volumecontroll don´t show´s up after a softreset ? I think it must loaded after a softrest but is there a way that i don´t shows up ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
use the commandline parameter -hide in the shortcut
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Never_Surrender:
But what if we use for example PocketPlayer or CorePlayer? They can adjust system volume with precision of 1 percent. Can't the same technology be supported by this application?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngboy99:
does it work on HTC snap?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
This has been answered several times in this thread. I am sick of it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
As I don't have this device you need to test it yourself but it should work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngboy99:
i made an install and it gave the following error

No Skin found for your resolution

i'm using a HTC snap btw
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
What folders are in the "skins" subfolder of setvolume?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngboy99:
this is what i see..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Do you get the error message when you open the config tool?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngboy99:
yeah, after the initial installation, it gave the following error

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Well that is because you are running Windows Mobile for Smartphones.

you can try to edit the settings.ini manually and add the skin name like:

skin=diamondQVGA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngboy99:
strange because i can't seem to find the file "settings.ini"

the only .ini files i see are the diamondQVGA.ini, defaultQVGA.ini and the rest in the 320x240 folder
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] youngboy99:
ok, did some googling and managed to find the settings.ini file, it is working now. thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angus1357:
Im running windows smartphone and have manually done the settings file, everythings running....just have one question. All I have access to is the system volume, is there a way to change the ringtone volume with this as well (on a WM smartphone, non touchscreen)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Switching between system and ring volume can only be done via touchscreen. I have the smartphone improvements on my todo list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narshorn:
Yes, it works well on Trinity. WM 6.5 and SetVolume 0.7.0 installed. However, I can change graphics during incallVolume, + and minus work, but ear sound level always stays the same :(

brds,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
This is a known bug. I will work on fixing it as soon as I have some free time again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
very good appz....:D

but I've got a problem, on a WVGA phone the volume lines are stretch...it's possible to modify this organisation for take all the place of my screen??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hungera:
how do u get the color bar with color?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
i have directly edit the .png files in the .cab with the Gimp ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aussi:
edit sorry my bad didnt ready... Love the program thx !

Edit 2:

It does auto start up but it first gives an error that it can't find my skin for my resolution

after clicking ok the error dissapears and setvolume works

any chance of getting rid of the error during start up?

edit 3:

I guess that was a issue with my rom, changed the rom and its gone the error message :D

so consider it a no post ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smokku:
I have tried your volume control and it looks awsome with transparency enabled.

But I have the same issue as with HTC Volume Control on COM3 and COM5 windows builds - it breaks incoming calls volume and they are silent no matter how you set the volume.

Do you have any idea what might help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
In the current version InCall volume is broken. To adjust InCall volume don't run SetVolume and disable HTC Volume and call yourself from another phone. You should be able to change the InCall volume using the standard windows Volume Control.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xavier92:
To solve this WinMo issue, do you think is it possible to make a small soft which has this behaviour : When we use the +vol button, this soft will decrease the volume with -1, -2, -3 ou -4 step (tuned by reg key), the result will be to increase of 5-1=4,5-2=3, etc... The opposit with -vol button.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to make such a soft, but I convinced that it is simple for you. What do you think about that ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
How should this work? WM only supports 5 levels. I can't force it to do half steps or so.

Once for all: There will be no more than 5 steps for the volume.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Invince_Z:
nicely done :thumbs:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RideTheTube:
hi marc,

did you already fix the incall volume problem?

thx for feedback - good job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Nice App

I am using Windows Mobile 23088 of an HTC Fuze (Raphael) in the United States.

This Volume control is great improvement for finger friendliness to the Windows Volume control.

---

A few minor issues:

I am not getting any sound for the volume steps.

Initially it did not tie into the volume keys after a soft reset. I needed to create a shortcut and put it in the Windows\Startup folder.

I would like the first press to not change the volume level. The HTC Volume Control does not change it on first press. I'm sure some like this as it is, so if that could be added and configurable, that would be great.

---

The ROM cookers haven't figured out how to launch the HTC Volume volume control with the later 6.5.1 builds. Your app works great for this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Röchelhilpert:
can someone post a working setvolume0_7_0 VGA Package ?

looks difficult to me to create one by myself
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
just to let you know.... here is another person waiting desperately for the in-call volume fix...

thanks for the great work until here.... !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wajk:
I use WM6.5.1/3 ROMs.

I tried 0.7.0, 0.6.1 and 0.6.0 versions, but when i accepted call, i have 1 sec hung up or freeze, and than i hear the caller, if possible pls fix 1sec bug :)

thnx!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jab1972:
Hi Marc, great bit of software and very useful on the latest WM6.5.1/3 builds that go back to that crap Microsoft volume control.

But do you know if it is possible to change the volume in steps of 1 instead of 3 or 4, registry change or something? As it stands the volume steps are too great when using device as MP3 player using headphones. Also in-call volume doesn’t work but I under stand you are aware of this.

Thanks again

Jason
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
New version released that hopefully fixes the incall volume.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Röchelhilpert:
thx i will try it out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jab1972:
Hi Marc,

Thanks for latest update, I can confirm that the in call volume now works on my Touch HD.

Now if only I could make the volume steps smaller, this would be perfect. Please, please is there any way of doing this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
See post 566. He has answered this in other places as well. Windows Mobile only supports 5 levels of volume. Also, see his post on November 9th.

I'm not sure if the HTC Volume control just tricked us into thinking there were more, by haveing 16 levels on the screen. Maybe there were only 5 real levels, with 16 on the screen. Or maybe HTC would apply an equalization to the sounds to partially reduce the level.

In any case, Windows Mobile only has 5 real levels. Any additional levels are not supported by Windows Mobile directly.

So either HTC was tricking us and there were not 16 levels. And by this, I mean that they might have provided a UI that visually looks like 16 levels, so that it will appear more gradual, but actually is only using the 5 windows levels. Or they were creating virtual levels by doing something like equalizaton behind the scene.

In any case, from Marc's posts on this, it does not sound possible and he is frustrated with people requesting this.

So, unless you, or anybody else that wants this, posts a way with actual details (registry entries, dll entry points, etc ) to make 16 levels, then there is no point to request it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jab1972:
JVH3, thanks for your reply. I am personally using a windows mobile 6.5.1 cooked rom. Various 6.5 cooked roms by Dutty and Xannytech have managed to make the volume steps on the HTC volume change by 1, but the new 6.5.1 roms have not got the HTC volume control cooked in as 6.5.1 has apparently not been officially been realised by Microsoft.

So it is definitely possable to have individually steps (I think probably around 16) on the HTC volume app, it is not a trick.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Thanks for confirming that it works.

HTC is cheating - even if you can "change" the volume in smaller steps the underlying volume is only changed every 3 steps.

I did a ****load of analyzing how the HTC Volume Control works and this was one of the things I found.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jab1972:
Thanks for replying Marc, all I can say is how ever HTC “cheats” with their volume app, the result is that the volume increases and decreases in small steps which make the device work perfectly as an MP3 player using headphones. Using the 5 WM steps results in either it being too loud or too quite.

It is a shame that it can not be copied in some way with your app. Apart from that, your app is great, thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wajk:
I have bug.

I use WM6.5.1/3 ROMs.

I tried 0.7.1, 0.7.0, 0.6.1 and 0.6.0 versions, but when i accepted call, i have 1 sec waiting, and than i hear the caller, if possible pls fix 1sec bug :)

i press de call button for pick up, but i hear my ringtone +1 sec, and then connect to my caller.

This bug just for me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
What happens if you don't run SetVolume?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angus1357:
I think what your referring to is the volume control inside of your MP3 application. For instance Windows Media Player does move in "1" increments, but thats inherent to the program not the system. I believe this is meant to be a System Wide volume control so it takes control away from the programs that may work in "1" steps. Maybe that would be a good feature for the future but based on the vast amount of MP3 programs I personally wouldn't do it just for compatibility nightmares.

Marc-

Added the ability to change between system volume and ringtone volume for smartphones yet? The similar program I made doesnt hook the volume buttons and I'm not sure I want to put that kind of work into it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
I think the easiest way would be to use a key like Enter on the keyboard - I will fire up a Smartphone emulator and see what works best.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Any smartphone owners that want to test some improvements? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jab1972:
No, I am referring to the system volume incrementing in small steps via the hardware volume buttons, not the application volume. The application volume is controlled via the on screen buttons and is not controlled by the hardware volume buttons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angus1357:
ooo oooo ooo this guy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Somehow I knew this :) - I will send you a PM with the download tomorrow. It is late now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
Hi Marc, and others - I'm working on including SetVolume in my lunacieROM, but so far there is an obstacle to making it a 'seamless user experience':

when I cook SetVolume into the ROM, to run it I'm still forced to manually select a skin prior to even being able to run SetVolume, or else I get an error that says 'no skin for your resolution' or something along those lines.

Is there a way to preselect a skin in my package, and just get rid of all non-vga skins?

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
You need to create your own CAB or OEM package. The one I created is not intended for cooking.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
Of course, and that's what I've done, but some problems persisted.

I guess I just wanted to know more about the workings of SetVolume - the settings.ini file was what I really needed to know about, but it does not exist in the .cab file, so until you mentioned it in an unrelated previous post I didn't know that that was just what I was looking for.

cheers

lunacie
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Windza:
Can also confirm this problem with WM6.5.3... installed SetVolume and ring/vibration continues for ~1s after answering a call (using both hardware button and slider) and I cannot hear caller until it stops.

On answering, the ringtone volume is decreased somewhat.

I've also observed the SetVolume screen visible behind the dialer canvas.

Hope this helps with diagnosing.

Other than that - great work and I'll continue to use it...

Just a suggestion too - is it possible to have the option for combined system/ring volumes (rather than two separate screens)?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Now I see what you mean. Do you still need some info for the settings.ini?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Is the 1 second delay not happening when you don't run SetVolume?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wajk:
of course: no

I tested many times, if Setvolume run, i have 1sec bug. If no, i hear my caller inmidiately, not 1 sec after.

sorry for my english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Version 0.8.0 with support for smartphones released.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
Thanks Marc! I'm 99% there now, found settings.ini from a test cab install. Now I just need to get my ext package for the rom perfect, only remaining issue is shortcut path(s) which is not a SetVolume issue. If I run into any problems I'll report back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
How do i get the hardware volume keys to use setvolume??? Im using an att fuze on NRG's dec2 build 230008 standard manila 2.1 rom. I put a shortcut to the .exe file in the windows/startup folder but that doesnt do anything. When i use the hardware volume keys it just uses the wm volume instead of this app. Even if i open the app via the shortcut in start menu, adjust volume, then try pressing the hardware key this time, wm volume control still comes up. Dont get it? Do i have to manually map this app using a program like AEGBplus to the hardware volume keys?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
SIP Box???

After adjusting the volume i tap on the black background somewhere to minimize the app after getting my volume settings, now theres a white/black sip box for the sip keyboard in the lower right corner of the screen. I have to press the end hardware key to make it go away. This happens now after each use of this app. Anyone else get this? Fix? I can provide a screenshot if needed, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgeousyousuf:
First of all i appreciate you for such a good app.

I was surfing through the pages to find out a solution regarding mapping volume up and down buttons to this app when windows starts(not after manually program started ).

I put the .ink file directly to the startup folder but it somehow failed.

Now fortunately i found the solution using SK Tools.Just open it and click windows startup then add .ink files then make a soft reset.

Hope it will work for you as well so that you don't be in a dilemma between using it or not.

With the latest version , i haven't tried during talking to someone.If it works too , then this is the most beautiful one:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Did you use Total Commander to start SetVolume before this happened?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Thanks a lot, though there are a few bugs (version 0.8.0):

- My hardware volume keys do not link to SetVolume, but rather to the HTC volume control, unless I run SetVolumeConfig first. I think after that it uses SetVolume, until I have soft resetted.

- On WVGA, the interface is too much on top, as if it was a VGA screen. It should be more lowered, and centered on the screen. Could you please fix this?

- Without doing anything weird with my device, right now there is a weird graphical bug in SetVolume, don't know why...

I would appreciate it a lot if you could look into these issues, this has been my first day of using SetVolume and already a few big bugs. By the way I am running it on the Leo (HTC HD2). Thanks a lot in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgeousyousuf:
I get the same error as well.Everytime i use it , it appears until i press the end button or open another application.

Could you fix this issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
You shouldn't run it together with the HTC Volume control.

This is just a matter of changing the skin

Uncheck "debug skin" in the config tool

Well nothing of the above is a bug.
