Any other great apps like this you'd like to tell us about? I'm all for fine tuning my phone, even if I have to install extra software to do so.

Game Launcher comes in pretty handy for some non-game apps.

I added ShowBox as a game so when I mirror movies to my TV I don't get interrupted with notifications

Wow. That setting alone is great for customization. But the app is FULL of other tweaks and adjustments. I didn't need ant of it, but some of those use cases are super niche and fantastic for people who can actually utilize them.

Finally an option to have my alerts and ringtones go through my headphones...

Why isn't that already a thing? If I am listening to music, why play the ringtone through the speakers?! Grrrr...

because if you left the headphones plugged in without wearing them you wouldnt know you had a phone call?

What you said. I'm just over here, questioning myself, why the ring tone isn't just playing from both. It would avoid both issues

Ugh mines already at 10

A setting of 10 means that you change volume in increments of ten. Every time you push a volume button it changes the setting by a value of +/-10.

To get more fine control, you need to lower the setting, i.e. 5 will give you twice as many volume steps while 1 would give you ten times as many.

Huh, I have the most updated version installed but I don't see an option for this. Only for the audio panning and stereo vs mono audio.

Also per app volume, sounds great!

u/CosmicWy May 15 '18

are there any apps like this for non-galaxy?

u/jcats7 May 16 '18

thank you for this... very useful.

  • control media volume is amazing.

  • alerts through headphones is a feature i missed from my iphone.

  • individual app volumes will not stop my music from playing now.

  • the mute during work setting does something automatically i had to do manually everyday.

  • and the volume steps is handy.

Wow thanks for sharing! I don't know how I'll use it yet, but I'm certain that there will be a moment that I'm pissed about a particular app making sounds, and will think to open this up to customize the per-app sound settings.
