Volume+ v1.8.1.0 Release

Hey everyone!
I received my Galaxy Nexus yesterday and have been working on a more ICS ‘optimised’ version for you all (It should work better on Gingerbread/Honeycomb too)!
There’s nothing massively exciting that’s been added but it should be a nice improvement over 1.8.0.6.
A list of updates can be found below!
What’s New in 1.8.1.0?
- Attempt at some ICS optimisations
- Added a check for phones with ICS (takes you to sound settings to enable Volume+ in Meida Effects)
- App starts differently (should be more reliable)
- App should be more ‘persistant’ (see above)
- EQ values completely changed
- Volume levels completely changed
- Higher volumes now available (up to +20)
- Louder volumes should now be attainable
- EQ Band frequencies now shown
- Removed title bar
- Fixed orientation issue
- 'What's New' option on the main page removed (click version number to access change log)
- Broken EQ settings (from the first Beta) now fixed
Known Bugs
- Virtual Room Effects and Bass Boost don’t currently work on ICS (investigating)
For more info and Download links - http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=16
My app is available for free on my website or for 99p on the Android Market.
Enjoy!

anyone get this to work on IN CALL volume?
my speaker volume is perfect on the current market version of V+, but when driving, even on speakerphone it's so low i can't hear anything and i'm hoping maybe one of you can tell me if this will boost that volume.

just asking again, has anyone been able to boost in call volume with this.

Unfortunately you still can't boost the in-call volume (earpiece or speakerphone) with the AudioEffects API. This seems to be a limitation Google put in place.
You can change the Build.prop to increase the number of in-call volume steps but it doesn't necessarily increase the sound, more like allows you to 'fine-tune' the volume. Although, on ICS, it only seems to work once. The linux command to remove the line doesn't seem to work (although it could just be the ROM i'm currently using).

blah that sucks. it's fine pretty much everywhere for me except in the car on the highway because my car is so damn loud (crappy piece of junk). Guess it's time to buy a bluetooth headset or speakerphone.
thanks for the reply.

New beta available for you all.
Should have fixed the EQ pre-set problems now
Enjoy!

If I have Speaker Modifications enabled under "advanced settings", will the basic settings automatically get disabled?

Yes. The advanced settings should overwrite the basic ones.

Why the big warning about Stock ROMs on the Market Page? What functionality do you lose if you're running a stock ROM?

4.0.4 and Volume+

Do you still need/use Volume+ after upgrading to 4.0.4?

I still use it in conjunction with AlsaMixer and Imoseyons volume boost in his kernels.

Speaker is still terrible with 4.0.4.

I never really used Volume+. I usually use DSPManager as its built into CM9 and Gummy.

I remember 1.9.0.0 was not working with 4.0.4 is 1.9.0.1 working?

I hear absolutely no difference, 0, 10, or even 18, all sound exactly the same.
I'm on Build31 AOKP, is there anything else I need to do for it to work?

Hi,
For me the latest version (1.9.0.1) of Volume+ works great and with ICS 4.0.4.
Don't forget to tick volume+ in Sound/Music effects...
The sound is really much stronger!There really a difference,if the EQ Presets does not do much,try Custom EQ Settings ant play with it

on my GNex with 4.0.4 the volume level works fine for both external speaker and headsets, but equalizatiins (both custon ir presets) do not work at all.
Can pls someone help?

Incoming Calls too loud

Hi Folks,
I need your support. I´m using the Viper Rom 3.2.4 and I would like to change the volume for incoming calls.
The lowest volume is still to loud, people around me can hear what the caller say.
Do I have a chance to change it maybe in the Build Prop. ?
Cheers

Little Update!
After changing the settings in the File, I have problems with the sound.
Can someone provide me the standard settings from the Build Prop. File?
Thx

I don't know if your issue is related to your ROM, but having too high lowest volume sometimes happened to me on the stock ROM after reboots. I (accidentally) found out raising the volume a few steps, then taking it back down will make it go to the actual lowest volume.

[Q] Volume Boost LG G3 D851-TMO?

Yup, that works nicely, but:
1. Dont forget to change permissions on file file, or youll go into bootloop (happened to me before)
2. Im still waiting for a BT volume tweak because i dont think the mixerpath tweak works with bluetooth.

Make Speakers Louder?

Anyway to improve the loudness of the speakers without rooting? they sound good but they're not loud enough, especially coming from a MXP.

This is an easy one. You can increase the loudness of the phone by accessing the bluetooth options... In the bluetooth menu, you will have the option available to connect to other bluetooth devices. Choose a locally available bluetooth speaker and enable the BTA option...
Hence forth your phone should sound much louder. This is a secret hack, don't tell anyone...

No, without root and without using a mod there is no way, you could use a different player and see if you can tweak the audio but actual volume will still be capped.

Viper4Android will make the speakers louder. Unfortunately, I have not found a way of this mod not messing with the sound settings on the HTC 10. On mine, after installing V4A, boomsound is not working properly as well switching between theater and music mode

There's a few to be honest, any active or manual equaliser can get more out of the speakers as they are but may mess with boom sound which is already in place.
In regards to tweaking the actual max volume I believe it can be edited but results can vary and it can become unstable or even break audio altogether so I'd personally avoid that.
In regards to mods, the best one I ever used was one called acid which was just crazy, I had it on my s3 which became extremely loud without distortion, but I'm yet to see it on any other device, viper is another, team venom might have it on their rom.

Yea i hear you, the phone is loud enough, i mean it's a phone I would prefer it to be louder too tbh, but it'll more than do, it's definitely better than other phones, like the sammy.

The ringer volume is pretty bad. Only sound by the lower speaker, and very low. If somebody can help with this, very appreciate

is the ringer lower than on the m9?

I finally got Viper4Android to work with the help of other members. Audio is not broken and fully functional. It does increase volume of speakers nicely. In the link down below, download the 2 zip files, ignore the apk file. In TWRP flash V4A Convolver zip first, then the HTC-fix zip, then reboot.

I guess that if the upper speaker can be enable, the volume ringer can be more higher, the lower speaker is used only for bass and lower frequencies and for this some change in this speaker will not enough by itself for to improve ringer volume sound and quality
The V4A doesn´t fix the problem, if somebody know how to change this, welcome
