[Q] Adding More Volume Levels

---

By now, there MUST be a way... I have searched and searched, ultimately concluding that either it isn't possible or hasn't been shared, so here goes:

I want to see if it is possible to make all volume controls in Android have about 20-30 levels. There simply has to be a way. Anyone keen enough to see if there may be a way to change the volume -/+ levels?

Sorry, I am not interested in any other apps nor having to open up a volume slider to get better control: The hardware buttons are there for a reason.

Google: 7 volume levels is simply retarded. When devices are now being used to listen to music, watch movies, YouTube, Netflix, etc. how can you suppose that only 7 levels of volume would do the trick?

Found one!

OK - So I found a variable in the build.prop file called

ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps

which allows you to change the number of steps for the in-call volume slider. Now all I need to do is test out a bunch of other possible variations to see if I can achieve the same effect with the rest of the sliders. By default, my OG Droid is set to 7. I upped it to 20 and am amazed at the amount of control I have over the in-call volume at this point. I think, if I can, I will do this with all of the volume sliders!

I will keep you all updated if I find anything.

This sounds (no pun intended) interesting, by any chance is the in call volume louder? I would love to get my ear to hurt when on the phone. Then as least I can back down the volume. Right now I strain to here on my HTC DZ aka HTC Vision.

Not sure...

I will have to test that. I am not sure whether or not this actually makes anything louder. I'll let you know in a day or so after I bounce the settings back and forth a couple times.
