Rooted: Ear Piece Volume hack wanted - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
Running ICS on my rooted my Galaxy S2 Phone successfully and was wondering if there's a value setting I could increase my Earpiece volume, nothing too extreme as I don't want to damage my earpiece, but just a slight increase would be great.
And yes I have tried volume up..
The reason is, I work in a busy environment and have tried Bluetooth devices, but rather prefer a earpiece volume increase..
Also what can I find the Jpeg Compression setting, I have looked in Root/System/ build.prop with my Root Explorer, but can't seem to see any Jpeg settings?
Thanks...

Program voodoo control will set your volume up.

Drivespinners,
It won't let me download it from Google Play, it says my SGS2 is incompatible with this app..
I'm running the ICS on my rooted SGS2..
Unless I can download it from somewhere else, then I could install it via the SD Card..
It sounds (excuse the pun) just what I'm after with a Sound boost and Mic
If I can't get this, any suggestions on a modify setting in my rooted phone..
I've looked in the build.prop, but can't see any audio settings?
Thanks..

On gingerbread, I used to use dialpad code *#*#197328640#*#* to access the audio menu and manually changed the sound.
Now, on ICS, the code doesn't seem to let me modify any audio settings

T-Mobile TP2 HDtweak Audio Increase

In HD Tweak, I set Volume Control\Acoustic settings to anything above the 100db limited (Default) - and audio gets boosted accordingly, but the microphone doesn't work and I'm unable to talk to anyone.. anybody have the same issue or any workaround?
I just want to boost the audio levels of the device overall. Btw, I also tried the audio booster within HDtweak and it doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried the audio boost cabs in the HDtweak site and no change.
I applied this tweak also and same thing. It even screwed up my bluetooth headset and i couldn't hear anything. When switching to speaker you only heard slight static. Only time i could hear the caller was the internal speaker but caller couldn't hear me. Had to go back to default for it function normally again. Not sure of any work around yet.
Hmm...I changed mine to "Normal" and had no problems with mic.
Guess I'll have to test further.
Did you happen to apply any other changes prior to HDtweak (such as: SRS WOW, or applying the AudioPara3.csv file floating around)? These may be conflicting with the change.
Nope, I didn't have anything else running or installed. Tried it on both mine and my fiance's TP2, with the same results.
Right now I'm using that tweaked AudioPara3.csv, but I can't really tell a difference if there's a difference, maybe a slight volume increase.

Not 100% sure of what you've done, but suggest you revert everything back to stock (HDtweak all audio related changes to default settings, remove 'audio boost cabs' and the AudioPara3.csv file), and soft-reset.
Test that mic is working properly, then try HDtweak -> only the acoustic settings to "Normal".
Soft-reset and check for mic functionality.
Sorry about that.
I meant previously that I had reset all settings back to stock, and was just running the AudioPara3.csv tweak (which didn't seem to do much or anything at all).
I reverted back to stock again now, and am just running HD Tweak\Acoustic Settings\Normal. I tested the mic with a call and it does indeed work.
I can't really tell if the volume is louder though, I think it is, but it's just hard to compare. I had set it to Maximal before and could definitely tell a huge difference, so I guess that's what I'm aiming for, or at least intermediate, but for now the Normal setting will have to do. Thanks sir.
I have installed & run HDtweak on my TP2. I hear no noticeable audio level increase. I have set all volume tweaks to max. Is a reset needed to "apply" the tweaks?
I have downloaded and tried the audiopara3 full & light boost and it made my device to where I couldn't hear the other caller at all. But it did make the ringtone louder.
I un-installed and know its back to normal.
I am having the same problem with HD tweak.
The mic goes off each time i increase the volume in HD tweak.
Still waiting for a solution and searching daily for a descent tweak, (Pro2 tweak maybe)?
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was wondering if this HDTweak problem was ever solved?
The only way I can get my unbranded TP2's music players (WMP, Audiomanager, Coreplayer and Pocket Player) working at a comparable volume to my iPod Touch is by using HDTweak's volume tweaks, but I can't hear anything when making calls through my handset or speakerphone.
I've already tried multiple extusb adaptors and various headphones, and the sound is still considerably more muffled and not as loud as my iPod Touch.
I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

[Q]How do you edit audio levels? Im trying to make my notification ringers louder

i just left dk28 afterlife viper-rom now im on ec05 but when leaving i seemed my notification ringers went way unbearably lower i believe due to not having the viper-rom volume hack and that hack don't work on ec05 so i need to know how to edit the levels myself or someone can do it for me i tried the voodoo hack but it don't effect the notification ring levels i even asked the creator of the volume hack he chooses to ignore me, so can someone help out?
I looked all over and I think you are just going to have to turn on the vibrate also and hope that helps. I have not seen a fix for this at all. I do know when I first started flashing I did notice my volume being different when I flashed different roms thru my truck stereo but found voodoo which lets you control that. I would have thought if someone can make that happen they could change that also.

this some-what works it does increase the volume of the speaker but when i increase the volume to make the notitfication ringers higher the other ringers go higher as well and since those ringers are already loud it becomes distorted when the additional volume is added......i need to specifically increase the notification ringer volume.

[Q] Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with Navigation volume?

So, I've made sure that ringer and media volume are at their highest, and I've noticed that it is kind of difficult to hear Navigation. Has anyone else dealt with this? I haven't had any of the "speakerphone or call quality issues", just noticed this the other day while traveling. If others have experienced it, do you have a work-around?
I think that generally all of the sounds on the Gnex are very low. I personally haven't used navigation ( i don't drive ) but all their ring tones notifications etc are very low.
One solution for the notifications i used was to 1) use your own audio files or 2) manually edit the audio file with a music editing program to have a higher master volume level.
That is where you may be able to get some success if you can locate where the audio files are for the navigation app you could try to manually increase their volume and replace them.

The audio files are downloaded on the fly, so trying to edit them wouldn't work too well. Look for volume+ in the market.

I guess that I will give it a shot. Ever since the update (and even before it) I really had no issue with media volume, speakerphone or call volume. Thanks for the advice.

@rio, if your rom didnt have the words 'rio' and 'blacknote' on the UI them maybe but what makes yours better?

I have a low volume only in some calls, the other is strong and clear. It's as if the phone, sometimes, forget your volume settings and we must tap the volume keys for to remind it. I have fw XXKLA2 rooted and it's the same as XXKK1.
i wonder if theres a service code available like the i9000 has that you up the volume..
I used 2.3.6 I8150DXKL1 DXLA2, rooted.
Then installed volume+ (free on market) set to volume level +4, afterwards installed volume+ v1.7.4.1 (download from 4shared) set to volume level +15.
Yes, feel better
thanks mate ,i'll try that..

But Volume+ doesn't allow you to adjust the volume of the earpiece capsule. The "speaker" refers to the external speaker.
this app has 3 options , speaker,headset and bluetooth so the 'earpiece' isnt adjustable...
any other ideas anyone..
maybe amplified earphones?
well i've tried the app and it doesnt seem to do anything on my phone , the in call volume is still low...
surely someone knows the service code hack so i can adjust the volume ...
[btw the i9000 code does not work]
update...
i've tried a 2.3.5 rom and all the 2.3.6 roms and all the de-toxed roms and still the in call volume is low..tried all the apps on the market with no change..
can anyone help with a code or a method of increasing the volume otherwise my 'w' will have to be sold and an iphone brought..
You can try this, it now supports in call volume , its stil experimental, but it wont brick your phone
http://androidaudiohacks.com/?p=158#comments
And ofcourse take the Dropbox version its free
thanks gerard ,i'll try it..
app installed and not a lot of difference...i'm just wondering if when i had the phone unlocked [by a market stall] that this unlocking made the ear speaker low in volume, any thoughts?
does anyone have an update for this problem? I am still having the low in call volumes. are there any dialer codes for this phone to tinker the system settings?

[Q] Minimum volume too loud. Any way to lower it?

The lowest possible volume setting (before silent of course) on the M9 speaker is too loud for me. Is there any way to lower it further? Is there a specific file that controls the volume that I could modify?

do you tried to turn boomsound to Music mode not Theater? another way would be to install Dragon-fi Audio and Change the presets. but be sure to read the OP since there is a Need to do something before flashing

Yeah, I already have it on Music mode. Still way too loud.
There must be a config file that has the sound levels in it that we can edit, no?
I just looked at Dragon-fi Audio, thanks. It seems like that has many more modifications that what I'm looking for. I just need a way to lower the sound level of the minimum volume.
you can edit a file called something with mixer_path.xml . but i forgot which exactly it was.. but yea Dragon-fi is really nice and awesome and really helps with static noise on m9...also anything else is much more improved *_*
