Ringer Mute Configurator

This simple app show which audio streams are getting muted when the ringer is muted on the phone. It gives access to system MODE_RINGER_STREAMS_AFFECTED setting. This is typically set by the vendor to 0x1A6 on phones, but some vendors are known to have changed the default for their products. Also, certain apps may write change this setting without explicitly telling the user. For example if Music is checked, it would force the multimedia channel to be muted when the phone is muted, and therefore not play music at night. This app is designed to be able to review this config setting and correct it

On Android 6 changing system settings requires a permission. When Commit button is pressed the phone will prompt the user to give this app permission to modify system settings. Once allowed, the Commit will work.

The app remember the initial value it read when 1st started. It can be restored with Default button. Usually this value is 0x1A6 on phones, and 0xA6 on tablets.
