Workaround for Android Pie Ringer Volume Control using Macrodroid

How it looks

We all know how obnoxious the change made on the Volume Controls in Android Pie is. This workaround lets you change ringer volume without going into the settings using Macrodroid. This is activated by holding down the volume button for one second and then pressing either volume button again to show the settings.

The ringer slider appears beside the media slider when the volume is adjusted while a notification sound is playing. The macro takes advantage of this by playing a a blank notification sound, which is activated by holding down the down volume button, and then pressing the either of volume buttons again to adjust the ringer volume and show the overlay slider.

Drawbacks include not being able to just hold down the volume button to mute sounds (you now have to spam it) and android ducking (the lowering of media volume when a notification sound plays)

You can copy the macro from the image below or import the files to macrodroiddownloaded from the gdrive folder below.

He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
