Please help. AOSP ICS volume is low as compared to Stock Samsung Gingerbread!
How to increase the maximum volume of Media(video n music) and ringtones, message tones??
i want to use a custom sound for the system ui and unlock sounds. i found an ogg converter, how do i know what bitrate and frequency to use? and does the duration matter to the OS or can i make it as long as i want?
bump
Whatever program I use, I cannot lower the display brightness below 20. I did my best to search the forum as well as the web, but couldn't really find an answer to this. Sorry if I am (possibly) repeating..
I am on stock rooted JB 4.1.1.
My question:
How can I user lower brightness levels? Do I really need a modified kernel for this?
Thanks.
How did u know its 20 % ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
it is not %20. It is 20. Screen brightness level can be set as a value between 0-255.
BTW, I am not talking about stock brightness slider in the status bar. Root applications like RootDim or Tasker allows you to set brightness in terms of actual brightness level. However, values under 20 don't have any effect on decreasing brightness..
REQUIRES PERSEUS KERNEL 34.2 OR ABOVE

This app is now open sourced and is available at:
https://github.com/EternalMelody/HeadphoneAmpControl
This app allows the user to handily change Headphone Amplifier Levels. Root access is required for file permission changes to the following files:
-"/sys/class/misc/wolfson_control/headphone_left"
-"/sys/class/misc/wolfson_control/headphone_right"
Two launchers can be found in the app drawer. One launches the Control app, another launches an overlay dialog for quick amplification level changes.
App Guide:
-Balance L/R toggle: Toggles amplification level balance between the left and right channels. When checked, disables the right channel seekbar and copies the left channel amplification level value to the right channel.
-Main seekbars: Current amplification level values. The top one is left channel's, bottom one is right channel's. The minimum and maximum values are defined by "Min level" and "Max level".
Control App Guide:
-Min level seekbar: Minimum amplification level that is settable by the main seekbars. Cannot be higher than safety level or max level.
-Max level seekbar: Maximum amplification level that is settable by the main seekbars. Cannot be lower than safety level or min level.
-Toggle service (notification bar shortcut): Enables notification shortcut. Must be checked to enable safety level. Notification only appears when headset is currently plugged in.
-Toggle volume button hack: Automatically sets checked volume type to almost max. The volume buttons can then be used to directly adjust amp levels, depending on context. The seekbar determines amp level jump.
-Hack music volume: Enables volume button hack for music, media, video, and games volume
-Hack voice call volume: Enables volume button hack for voice call volume
-Hack ring volume: Enables volume button hack for call ringtone volume
-Safety level: When headset is plugged in the first time, the current amplification level is compared with the safety level. If current level is higher than the safety level, then the current level is lowered to the safety level.

Do you think you can hook into the volume button events and override the digital volume? Would be a great addition in functionality.
Edit: missed that sentence in your post

On the i317 version of your kernel,
The amp level now can't be lower than 20? If I try to set it below 20 (whether through STweaks, my app, or directly editing the file), it will just be assigned 20. Intentional? Because STweaks isn't updated to reflect this.
By the way I just updated the app to have volume button support.

Yes, you're right. It's currently hardcoded to a minimum of 20, I'll change in the next version.
I can't seem to get the button hijack to do anything at all though with your new version? Still only controls the stock/digital volume.

That option currently doesn't do anything, no icon shows up.

Hmm the icon needs to show up for it to work. The icon will only show up when headset is plugged in. Is headset plugged in? Btw there's also a bug in the checkboxes behavior which I just fixed. Try the new .apk.

Ah I see now. Stupid me. I thought you were also overriding the speaker amp.
Nevermind then, everything works fine in that case. I'll fix the minimum volume in the next kernel version.
guys can it also be implement on bluetooth headphone?

Unfortunately, this will not work on bluetooth headphones.
Hi. I have downloaded the App but I can't get it working....if I enabled balanced L/R but if I move the slider to the left the volumn doesn't get lower
Hi DirkStorck. Can you give me more details? The audible volume didn't get lowered with headphones on?
Short question: on what level should I keep the normal, digital volume control for best sound quality? Does it matter? Thanks

For best sound quality it is advised to keep digital volume at max.
Sound quality is not altered by digital volume. However, you want the analog volume (the amp levels) to be as low as possible for your purpose, because higher analog volume means more noise.
Eternal, is there a way to use it with boeffla kernel?
Ty a lot!
Great app! I can't believe I didn't find it until now.
If I could wish for something it would be a gray scale notification icon - silly little thing, I know. But I also realize that you've probably moved on by now. Regardless, thanks a million for this.

Hi all,
im on stock rooted 8.1 and want to lower default call in volume by editing system files not by buttons. I know if i can edit volume levels from system/etc>mixer_path.xml . i know how to do that for my oneplus, but not for this pixel. So kindly help me how to lower it / which files/ lines to edit.. Thanks
