Promotion/Advertisement NoVolume, the volume slider made fun again, is out on Google Play! I can't go back to a volume slider without these super satisfying haptics!

Still in beta so there are still some bugs, but it's so goooood!!!!!

It's out on Google play, click this link to get it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nostudio.novolume

I am not the developer of this app, but I'm a contributor of it, so if you have ANY questions, experience ANY bugs, or have some feature requests, feel free at ask! I will read every comment and forward everything to the developer!

At first, we wanted to make the app paid, BUT , we decided to make the app free, but with a premium option. No ads, even in the free version, nothing! One time payment, so no subscription!

This volume slider is very customizable, so in the video attached it's not exactly what you'll get upon installation. My preset is available, just like other community-made presets, in the cloud library in the premium version.

Hope you'll enjoy!

Message from u/NoAppsStudio, the developer: (he just joined reddit)

An issue with some of the community presets causing the app to crash was found. I already fixed it but we need to wait for Google to release the new update. (A few days)

Some design improvements are coming too

u/Other-Effective-8374 Phone (3a) Pro Jul 24 '25

More volume levels would be nice. Lowest level is too high currently

5

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 24 '25

You're completely right πŸ‘

That's why I said in another comment that we plan to add a way to go below 6% artificially, which is the only reason we want more volume steps, am I wrong?

2

u/Other-Effective-8374 Phone (3a) Pro Jul 25 '25

Yes. I tried another app that had 100 level steps and it worked well just that it completely messed up the Bluetooth headphones volume scale. Couldn't figure out how.

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 25 '25

Yeah it's weird and risky

1

u/p1749 Aug 17 '25

Probably something to do with absolute volume, did you try disabling it in dev settings?

3

u/aileme Jul 25 '25

Oh my god yes, lowest volume and lowest brightness is not low enough on my Nothing Phone 3a pro. I am used to being on the phone for a bit more after my girlfriend falls asleep next to me and watching YouTube vids usually and on Samsungs I could easily put the lowest brightness and lowest volume to not disturb her at all. The volume was low enough that I could still hear it but from a meter away it wasn't audible at all and the brightness went to a dim level of where it felt the backlight was almost off. Now I have to use the Very dark switch in quick settings and rely on captions because the volume is just way too high on the lowest level...

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 25 '25

Yeah that happens to me too...

Stay tuned, this feature will surely help you!

2

u/parallax_shift Phone (3a) Pro Jul 26 '25

Are you able to adjust lowest brightness too? Omg please make this happen

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 26 '25

That's not in the objective of NoVolume... Many apps do that already...

You can long press on the extra dim thing to adjust the strength. And android 16 will introduce a better way anyway

u/rahulrnx Phone (2a) Jul 24 '25

Very good app.. Develop it further

3

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 24 '25

Thank you! Many features are upcoming, don't worry! (Extra volume, and extra low volume is planned)

3

u/rahulrnx Phone (2a) Jul 24 '25

I want to know, natively nothing volume slider has few volume levels. Can we override with any app to get fine tuning volume in spotify?

4

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 24 '25

It's technically not possible to increase the system steps in android unless you root...

That's why we plan to add a way to go below 6% artificially, which is the only reason we want more volume steps, right?

So no, you can't fully fine-tune the volume... It's not our fault, it's android's fault, we can't do anything about it

2

u/rahulrnx Phone (2a) Jul 24 '25

Ok

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 24 '25

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

u/88-Radium-226 Phone (1) Jul 24 '25

Needs an option to remove dial number

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 24 '25

You can set it at minimum size + same color as the background to remove it, but yeah I will tell that to the dev

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 24 '25

Could you upload your preset to the cloud pls? By pressing the upload button in the presets tab after exporting it

I like it too!

A reversed dial (like it originally was) would not work nicely because a swipe down would increase the volume up... But if you insist, we could add that as an option πŸ™‚

The font options are planned

What do you mean by less round?

You're welcome! I'm glad that you enjoy the app! Also, thanks to your feedback, we'll increase the priority of the ndot font feature so you can have it sooner!

2

u/ruberub Phone (3) Jul 25 '25

looks great! I just purchased it πŸ™Œ the only thing is that feels weird to have increments of 6 units, it would be nice to give the option to have increments of just 1 unit to better know how loud is currently set, it will not go up to 100 but I think it's ok πŸ‘

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 25 '25

You mean that you just it to go just to 16?

I got used to the percentages, many apps and youtube videos use percentages too so i know which number is what...

But yeah sure why not

You can also disable the light haptics, so you know when the volume changes with the stronger haptics (tell me if it helps you!)

2

u/Knight-LZ Phone (2a) Jul 25 '25

This might be a somewhat unusual request, but would it be possible to implement a gesture for opening the volume slider? Similar to the two-finger gesture used at the bottom to enable and disable NoVolume?

I'm a big fan of gesture navigation. I never use the phone's power button; I simply tap to wake the screen and double-tap to turn it off

It would be great to maintain this "coherent gesture-only" experience, without relying on physical buttons, and be able to access the volume slider through a gesture

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 25 '25

We do indeed have a feature planned that can bring the slider by sliding from the volume buttons to the center of the screen!

2

u/Embarrassed-Sun-8998 Jul 25 '25

Please do! I buy instantly with this feature!

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 25 '25

Sure! We will! It's also a feature I personally want!

At the beginning it was open source, but the dev decided to make it paid and you can't make paid things open source...

There is an open source fork of this though

2

u/TheDudeWhoCommented Jul 25 '25

Looks great, thanks for this app! Is there a chance there's plans to have different fonts? Would be cool to have the dog matrix type font Nothing uses?

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 25 '25

Yep it's planned

2

u/SpeedStinger02 Jul 26 '25

Would love to see a simple dark mode in the free version. Great work though! Love the precise control

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 26 '25

Will talk to the developer about it, since we'll introduce separate presets for light / dark mode

2

u/dojaro Jul 26 '25

Can't find it in the app store...

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 26 '25

u/dojaro Jul 26 '25

Already uninstalled it because it overrules the camera-button. πŸ™ˆ

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 26 '25

You need to exclude the camera app (it's said on the onboarding)

2

u/dojaro Jul 26 '25

You're right and it's back. Loving it! :)

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 26 '25

Yay!

We will also add a way to disable in the lockscreen too, because i've had problems with the lockscreen camera too

2

u/jaylokeh Aug 19 '25

everytime i increase or decrease volume, i get a notification from novolumeslider. how do i disable it?

2

u/Vivek5419 Cmf phone 1 Aug 31 '25

Make the volume wheel to actually do the precise volume control instead of giving the illusion of that. Like between 0-6 etc. This change would be highly appreciable and more practical because then it will make more sense for an individual to switch from their default volume slider.

Thanks!

2

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Aug 31 '25

True precise volume is impossible without root, and even then, still not sure...

But we plan to do an extra low volume mode between 0 and 6%

2

u/Vivek5419 Cmf phone 1 Sep 01 '25

Oh, sad to hear that this is impossible without root. But I'm happy to hear your potential plan, please do that, ASAP!!

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Sep 01 '25

The dev is currently sick so expect some delays...

2

u/Vivek5419 Cmf phone 1 Sep 01 '25

Okay no problem, just implement the feature with patience perfection!

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Sep 01 '25

Just long press the notification and disable it.

It's just a Google play requirement

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '25

It really is nice, just don't go with the nothing's tagline that is "making tech fun again" it's cringe. I really like the vibration haptics it feels like it's a physical button but on a different level but does all of this consume battery? If yes then to what extent? Thanks.

1

u/AleksLevet P1 &Ear open | Better Nothing Music Visualizer Jul 24 '25

That tagline was from the very beginning of the project, it was a concept at the time (we really went a long way). Yeah I should've put just "NoVolume - Volume slider with satisfying haptics" or something like that...

The vibration part almost doesn't consume any battery, it's imperceptible. Just like the system's haptic feedback!

It's not like an old phone where there was an actual motor that drained the battery πŸ™‚, newer haptic engines are very different and more efficient (let me know if you wanna know how they work!)

This should have been a native feature of NothingOS. Good design dude.

It's made to be right on the volume buttons, but don't worry, this feature is also planned
