Hello Note 2 users...(ATT)
Here you'll find a set of modified files for our device that allow stereo sound from both device speakers.... (pretty sweet sound when they both play your music tracks)...
And for you AOSP fans, it includes a fix for that annoying in-call audio issue that forces a toggle down/up to get sound back to acceptable levels.
See below for installation instructions, warnings (got to love those) and other important info about the up's and down's of these sound mods.
First: Credit
Hosting for these files has been graciously provided by @rogersb11 and his AFH account. (thank you brother)...
Please mash the H*** out of his thanks button if you would please, for not only the space to host the files, but for his mad skills in testing and helping me present these for you. He also kindly zipped these up for me. (can't thank you enough man).
And to Cyanogenmod, for the bits needed to create the AOSP VERSION of these files.
Of course, a big thanks goes out to Samsung for everything we love and hate about our NOTE 2.
Second: Disclaimer
The use of these files, resides solely with YOU, THE USER...
I'm not twisting any arms here, so if you decide to go for it and your phone explodes.....well, you know the deal. These files were created for my personal device and use.
I'm offering them to you with that knowledge, and the choice resides with you, or not, to use them for yourselves.
I accept no liability if "YOU" flash these files and something happens that you don't like. (rant off)
These files operate at the hardware level, and "WILL" change the primary operation and sound outputs of your device. So please read carefully, and as you'll see below, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR PRIMARY SOUND FILES !! (because you might need an easy way back should you change your mind)...:highfive:
Third: Install
The first file is for Touchwiz based roms...versions 4.4.x
Note: I've tested the TW file on 4.1.2 stock rom as well and it works perfectly .>>>>> UNTESTED>>>>may work on 4.2/4.3 as well....
On Android File Host, locate the StereoSound-TW-Note2.zip
Download it and place to the root of your SD CARD.
Once placed, go into your root explorer app and locate the following file in system/etc/. tinyucm.conf.
When located, use your explorer app and add .bak to the tinyucm.conf file. This preserves it as a backup for later use. (DONT FORGET TO SAVE)...:good:
Once your stock file is backed up...you can then boot into your TWRP or CWM recovery and flash the file you downloaded, then reboot/enjoy.
Note: Audio output enhancements have been made to the flash file, and volume levels will increase approx. 20% beyond the obvious addition of the front earpiece now acting as a speaker......
BE CAREFUL WITH IT !!
The next file is for AOSP based builds versions 4.4.x
Note: no lower android version testing has been done using this file. >>>>>UNTESTED>>>>may work on 4.2/4.3 as well....
On Android File Host, locate the StereoSound&InCallFix-AOSP-Note2.zip
Download it and place to the root of your SD CARD.
Once placed, go into your root explorer app and locate the following file in system/etc/sound. tiny_hw.xml.
When located, use your root explorer app and add .bak to the tiny_hw.xml file. This preserves it as a backup for later use. (DONT FORGET TO SAVE)....:good:
Once your stock file is backed up...you can then boot into your TWRP or CWM recovery and flash the file you downloaded, then reboot/enjoy.
Note: Audio output enhancements have been made to the flash file, and volume levels will increase approx. 20% beyond the obvious addition of the front earpiece now acting

BE CAREFUL WITH IT !!
Bugs/issues:
Anytime we change the root files for a device, a price is paid. In this case we have gained stereo sound and call fixes for a host of android versions/roms, but it comes with a downside.
During audio playback with headphones plugged in, we get a low level audio output from both speakers.
For some of you, this will be a show stopper especially if you are in the office or in other situations where music playing could end your fun.
But for those who throw their phone into a purse or pocket and blast music through headphones outside or during recreation, this downside is a small price to pay.
I will continue to explore and mod these files in an attempt to eliminate this bug, but so far my efforts break the stereo function and kill the mod altogether.
Should you decide these mods are not for you after flashing them, or if something does not work right, the revert steps are pretty easy.
Just use your root explorer app and delete the new file you flashed from it's appropriate location in your system file. (It will be right next to the file you added the .bak too.)
Then remove the .bak from your original file and reboot-done.
Edit:
Some users are reporting a failure of the in call mod for some AOSP variant builds.
If your are using vipermod for sound boosting, you will need to remove the viper driver before flashing the sound file for AOSP.
I'm working on a patch for this issue, and will update the OP as more information becomes available...g
Enjoy the Mods....g

Great Mod if it wasn't for the deal breaker (for me) as I use headphones on public transport.
Could you please post the AOSP Fix for in Call Volume by itself.

Greg did these, I just told him which file for aosp, zipped and tested so as of this moment they must be combined for it to work unfortunately. However this will be gone into further because it 100% solves the incall issue. Just have to figure out how to seperate them. This was intended as only a stereo mod and then noticed the incall

As mentioned above..
Changing the structure will break the effect... But I'm working it...g
For me, I get sound out of both speakers, but it didnt fix the in call issue I still have to hit down, then up.

Which AOSP rom are you using ?
I'm forming a list of builds that are presenting problems. ..and also the effects of other sound mods like boeffla and viper..
I've had no in call issues at all with pure CM, carbon, cyanide...and the list is growing.
Not to say that you are doing anything wrong of course. .I'm just interested in finding the problems so I can attempt a fix.
Thank you for the report. ..g

I'll have a look at the sound files in the ROM. .
It has viper and EQ settings built in. ..and may be having a conflict. ..

What a great Find!! Thanks for sharing.
In call audio didn't change on PAC ROM still have to manually adjust volume
That's 2 in a row..damn..
I'll compare the files for both. ..
And I'd wager they look very much alike. ..
A Taylor made fix is possible there I think.
Thanks gents...g

All the credit belongs to you. Solving the incall volume issue is monumental. Thanks for your contribution towards our still wonderful GN2. A very happy Thanksgiving to you and all the xda community.

Hey folks,
This is a completely new build, with all the new changes baked in. We wanted to do a semi-official test release to collect bugs and hopefully do a formal official release with everything settled. The main pain point is the CSV files (see pre-install prep).
So a brief overview:
New acoustic routing code baked in. Should fix most if not all audio routing problems, and will provide more debugging if stuff does go wrong. Also allows for more granular tweaking, see the CSV files.
GPS fixes for GB - GPS not only works in GB now, but it doesn't kill sleep! I was able to use GPS, get a solid lock, and put the device to sleep no problem.
BT should work & well with the new acoustic code. Post results.
RHOD users now have a choice of kernels. .35+ all have the new acoustic - so .35, .39, 3.0 and 3.1 are all fair game now... This is bundled with .27!!
Keep in mind, autobuild .27 kernels will produce no audio in this build... Obviously the bundled kernel will work, and the absolute newest .27 autobuild kernel does work now - Feb.27 2012 or newer.
rootfs tweaks - first, it will detect which kernel you're on (.27 or .35+) and automatically apply the correct firmware. Second, is it will always copy/extract the modules... failures there were getting annoying, and this is surefire if brute-force...
Few Easter egg apk's...
Probably a lot I'm forgetting, this might change
Pre-Install Prep REQUIRED!!!
This step is crucial, and I forgot all about it! You must copy all of the *.CSV file from your WinMo ROM - these are in the \Windows\ directory. There's a very easy way to do this. It involves the Total Commander app for WinMo (Direct Link for the perpetually lazy...) (included in EnergyROM and others probably).
Now you're in Total Commander looking at your \Windows\ directory. Whew... lots of files. Fear not! Hit the "CTRL" button, then the green "Plus" button. This opens the Select/Unselect files dialog. Put in *.csv, press "select" and voila. All CSV files are selected. Now - File -> Copy/Move -> I want you to copy these (should be 10) files to the ROOT of your SD card. No folders!!! This is hardset right now, until we get it all implemented into the build properly. Thanks!
Install
Assuming you've done the pre-install prep; this is installed just like the other XDAndroid builds - grab your startup.txt (don't forget rel_path= if you don't have it at the root of the SD!), ts-calibration and boot!
Download
Caveats:
Audio stutters every 10sec. The only fix I've heard is using a kernel from G3rmo (unfortunately it is old), or
Code:
su
kill -9 28
Which kills the [battery] process. I'm sure this will have negative effects on the battery meter/battery life...
SD Card not working...? "Waiting for SD Card" appearing on boot...? Try putting this command in your startup.txt
Code:
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave
See gummbah30's post reminding us of these commands.
SD Card has partitions? (If you used a non-XDAndroid build the answer is YES) Then you need to add "no_partitions" to your startup.txt. Between the quotes on the set cmdline line. Do not put it on its own line, it goes in between the quotes! Make sure there is one space between each item.
BT might still be flaky
The CSV files from my BLAC100 are attached for the lazy. I'd like to gather CSV's from each RHOD, I'm curious if any ROM devs have changed them out either... This could get interesting. If you folks don't mind, post up your CSV's, point out differences with mine, etc... We're trying to figure out how to unify these, if possible! Thanks!
Keyboard tiny/unusable? Either change the IME (long press on the input box) Get rid of it! I've heard "Hackers Keyboard" is a good alternative - many options. There's also "Better Keyboard", Swype, etc... Side load the APK using AndroidApps, adb install, etc.
Please post back any issues, enjoy!

Interesting, does any sound work...? Does it play thru the earpiece instead of the rear speaker? What about previewing ringtones? Next time you pull a logcat, make sure to use -v time. Using GetLogs makes it much easier .
Thanks for testing btw. The more the merrier! If we're going to make this change global, we want to make sure no devices are left in the dust. So it's up to you guys to test and ensure that it works properly! If it doesn't, we'll try to fix it.
If anyone feels like hopping on #xdandroid on freenode while testing, that would be great! Thanks again!
i attached the file i found on sd card after pulling the logs with getlogs. i hope this is the file you wanted.
i just added following commands to my startup, because i cant boot without them:
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave

Those commands are necessary if you have a SD card that doesn't play nicely. If you need 'em, put 'em in.
Thanks for the logs, I'll pass them on. Anything you can say about 'em? What happened during the logs...? Please be as specific as possible. The more information, the better.
Bump...
I made a mistake. Messed up bad folks! I forgot an extremely crucial step... See the first post! Pre-install Prep .
am20033 already has given pretty good feedback, once having done this step. So send it through the ringer guys, c'mon!

Good deal! Some headsets seem to work better than others - we'll have to work on that once everything has settled. Glad everything else is working well!
As for there only being 5 CSV's, that might be true for Blackstone. What WinMo ROM are you on...? Perhaps some other users can verify. On my RHOD running EnergyROM there's definitely 10 CSV files in \Windows\. I might ask everyone post theirs so we can detect any differences - so if anyone would like to post all the CSV's they have in a zip file here that would be great!

Thank's Arrrghhh , that is my best news today .
I'm a former HD owner and today i have a HD mini Photon , my current Android ROM is working very well .
The only real problem for me is the audio routing . Could you give me some help to test this in Photon? I can try to change my ROM in order to apply your fix. Don't worry if i don't have success doing that , i know devices are not the same and i don't disturb you .
Because this is HD forum if you want you can PM me.

If you're on a native Android device and you're having audio routing problems I would talk to the developer of the ROM. If you re-read the first post, I detail why we have audio routing problems to day, and why this test build fixes those issues.
Your issue is completely different and entirely unique compared to our woes. Sorry.

Thank's arrrghhh , Photon is a WM 6.5 device (maybe the last HTC WM device) and the issue is the same I had in my blackstone for two years. (BT pairing but not audio ) it was my bigger problem there and with photon .... having the same problem..
I'm reading some times the blackstone thread looking for some light about this issue and today i found your thread. Trust me , the issue is the same and the way to resolve it must be similar.
I had success booting android HD blackstone roms in photon (more or less) and i will try to test your build. at the moment the booting animation start well but never end.
I'm changing some modules to obtain a bootable build but i don't know which libs or kernel modules are you changing here.
Thank's

Oh I see.
Others have this same problem...? I'm wondering if it's your headset, or the port. Do you know how audio routing works on the port for the Mini? Is it a kernel-only affair, or does userland effect it...?

Is a general problem , I don't know if the problem is only in the kernel but i can give you some issues we have with the sound:
- the stereo wired headset sound only works if we use headset with micro , if we use headset without micro the sound is mono.
- The fm radio sound only works if we start de FM radio in WM before run haret , in other case we have only 5 seconds sound in Android FM radio, after 5 seconds the sound stops suddenly.
- the loudspeaker and sound in general in incoming calls is very low.
- The Bluetooth headset and the bluetooth hand free paired without problems but not redirect the sound.
I think the problem is not so different you want fix here in blackstone.

The fixes here apply to MSM7k devices. I'm not sure what you would need to port it to other devices... pretty sure our kernel would not work on your phone. That's going to be the hurdle. I would encourage you to analyze the userland stuff tho - that certainly might be useful to you.

Don't misconstrue, I haven't done any of the actual development on this acoustic code .
See Jerome's tree if you want to see where this all started. A few others have cloned his tree and made some modifications. We're still working out the kinks. Perhaps it can help your port as well...
Like I said earlier, I am betting the userland stuff will work for you folks without a ton of changes (don't know for sure!). The kernel stuff for this new acoustic will need to be ported - our kernel will not work on your device.
I made a post on a Portal audio mod for the S-Pen and thought I would search and find some sweet sounds for different system sounds. Use a Root Browser (I used Rom Toolbox) to move them into:
System
Media
Audio
Ui
You must be rooted and have the permissions set to rw- r-- r-- on the sound files.
I will update and post new mods as I find them. Please feel free to post your mods or make suggestions.
Here is the post of my Portal S-Pen sound mod.

Doing something wrong?
scratch the following. I moved them, set the permissions, deleted the noti2 files and renamed the new ones to replace them. they then showed up in the spen notification selector in settings.
I'm fairly new at all of this modding, but getting better at it I think. I copied the files over and extracted them, moved them to the system/media/audio/ui folder, replaced the files, and set permissions on the files to rw-r--r-- but it's still not making the sound when I attach and detach the pen. I can even select the files from the ui folder and play the sounds, so I know the sound is there. Is there something I'm not doing or should be doing? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks, I'm currently working on a full archer sound theme. I've got a few done at the moment. I'll start posting them here when I get off work today. Be warned now, some of them may be slightly suggestive so use them at your own risk
The Archer sound theme is up and labeled. I have a few alternative sounds for some of them that I will be adding as well.
Nice mods, do you happen to know what file the phone dialer water drop sound is? I would love to change it.

are the zips flashable?

Okay, I think I found the file you asked about. The one I found is called Dialer_new.ogg. if that's not the one, would you be talking about the double beep that's made when a call is started?

No, they are not flashable. Just have to move the files with a root browser to the files mentioned in the op...

This was posted in the S3 forum but It works Perfectly on my Note2 and Note 10.1 just thought I'd share the link. If this is posted before forgive me I searched and did not see it.

I haven't seen any thread which disables the noise suppresion on HTC one hence i made this mod. On M7 by default the Noise suppression is enabled and when we move the phone at certain angles, the other party wont hear anything what we talk. This mod disables the Noise suppression. Mod is well tested on insertcoin sense ROM[4.22] and it works flawless but again it is only me who tested it.
I am attaching a flashable zip for testing purposes! Download the attachment and flash through recovery. There is no need to wipe anything! Incase if you want to revert to stock, i have also included the stock file at downloads!
NOTE: At present this mod is only for deodexed roms! After positive feedback, I will make the mod for odexed also along with guide. Dont try on any other variants as i have not tested.
Download
Modded File - 4.4.2 (Sense 5.5) deodexed
Revert to Stock File - 4.4.2 (Sense 5.5) deodexed
Modded File - 4.4 (Sense 5.5) deodexed with call recording support
Revert to Stock File - 4.4 (Sense 5.5) deodexed
Modded File - 4.3 (Sense 5.0) deodexed with call recording support
Modded File - 4.2.2 deodexed
Revert to stock - 4.2.2 deodexed
Feel Helped, Press Thanks!

Working on InsertCoin 3.0-14. Thank you.
Boomed From My Boombastic !!! HTC ONE !!!
holy crap....This is so awesome!! BY FAR, the biggest complaint I have on this phone.
EVERY time i talk with my phone held to my shoulder, my fiance whines about not being able to hear me. Granted, she just bought an iphone 5 and hers does the same thing when talking to me.
I just switched to a 4.3 google Play edition rom last night....is the noise suppression enabled on these rom's or only on Sense?

Glad that you liked it. I was facing the same problem and thats the reason i made this mod. I am not really sure about noise suppression on GE as i am not a big fan of that and never used it. Hope someone drops a feedback here!
I have definitely noticed the noise suppression problem using the GPE 4.3 rom's......have considered flashing this, but was hoping for some other guinea pigs to chime in first!

Thanks, the fading is better, but still have this 'clicking' popping sound every now and again, had it on all ROM's (have tried different radios even) does anyone know what it is and is there a way to fix it? thanks
Dont understand, its fully disable noise cancellation?

appreciate it thanks, but not sure if anything can be done, this issue has been around for a while on all bases and ROMs ( I have no popping or crack listening to music or watching videos only during phone calls there is the occasional pop or crackle in my ear during the call) so not sure if it can be fixed, but if you need info just search for HTC One popping crackle sounds and you'll find numerous links. It seems some say its the beats app causing it or NFC but even if I disable both its still there, others say its the sound amplifier causing it, or the noise cancellation etc. so its a bit difficultto say exactly what the cause is or how to fix (if possible), Again thanks

this was a case similar to samsung phone where you hear knocking sounds while on call but it got rectified by disabling the noise suppression. I did hear sometimes and did not find time to check in the code. But i am sure, it should be with noise suppression. Actually in the code, i did not modify the noise suppression fully and sometimes it will come back. All i did was passed on the false boolean value prior to start a call. And there is a code for restoring the nosie suppression in case if it is disabled. I will disable it fully and then check.

Many thanks!
Hello sir, thanks for this attempt to fix some annoying stuff.
Have you noticed any negative side-effects though?
I remember when noise cancellation first came out for mobile phones quite some years ago, it was a big thing and many article on the news was covering it and how it worked. Then it became standard.
Now it's becoming a problem... I wonder if HTC maybe needs to fix the algorithm rather than us disabling it?
Anyway, I haven't had an issue yet, so I'm not sure I'm a good tester. Might report back after trying it out for a bit.
Thanks again!

I did not face any problem to be honest and been using the mod since the day one. I disabled the noise suppression completely yesterday and still testing and so far i have not faced any problems though. I dont know what side affects it might bring, except you will hear some background noise..thats all.

Sounds good. Feel like putting that modification into the phone.apk of ViperOne?
I think we have a fair share of modifications or at least theming in it and so I can't really use/test it (I figured last night).
If you want to do it I can pull the files for you or you download the full ROM. Let me know...

Yea fine. No worries. The guide part suggests you will keep this free to use for everyone? I am hoping this to be a future Viper Tweak which could be toggled on/off but since you found this method, it's probably yours. Well, if Jan and Turge do consider it, they will contact you on the matter anyway.
Just as a note for potential ViperOne users passing by:
ViperOne 2.1.0.0 phone.apk is not modified and this mod will be no problem to flash, also the back-to-stock zip.
ViperOne 2.1.0.0 with Red Theme or DarkOne Theme phone.apk is themed and if you flash this mod and/or revert back to stock, it will still function but you will lose theming on that apk.
This is what @j to the 4n told me this morning. Hope i repeated it correctly.
Will this work on stock sense from T-Mobile ??

Please let me know if it works ok i dont have this device to test on. MAKE SURE you have a rom back up so you dont have to Odin if issues arise. I'm very confident that it will work fine tho. Thanks
Will try this out in a few hours! Thanks for bringing your mod to the s6 edge. It is awesome!
Your welcome buddy...let me know if it works ok. Thanks
Well i guess its working. 106 downloads and not one ty clicked or one response yes its working. Pretty sad. I knew there was alot of selfish people on the web but this is pathetic. One hudred and six downloads. No respect, no appreciation. .im fighting myself really hard not ro remove the links. Really hard. Change my mind people please.
So sorry for not getting back. I used all day today and it was awesome. I made calls on speaker and watched YouTube and everything was perfect. Really great mod and I will apologize for all the edge users. Can't believe no one said thank you. Pretty sad actually

My remark wasn't targeted towards you stu your a great person. It was for the other 105 people who are using this, who wouldn't even have it if it wasn't for you requesting it and supplying the stock files so i could mod them. Selfishness is part of human nature, but the level of it in this thread is enough to feed all of population in NY. I'll stop my whining now, you get the point. .lol ?
This mod had nothing to with me and everything to do with you. Your skills are crazy and you are the man for coming up with it... THANK YOU!

Right but i would not have done it if it wasn't for you. I dont have this device, therefore can't test the mod, or do i need to have it. I dont like putting things out there that i have not tested. I do this for my own devices and share it, then if anyone requests it i do it for them also. Everyone in between is just lucky. I could have easily pmed it to you and called it a day.

I just downloaded for my TMob S6 Edge model and about to give this a whirl. I'm a strong Viper advocate and wasn't sure if your mod will happily coexist. Will Nandroid first then get back. Much appreciate your contribution.
EDIT: Killer sound MOD. Works fine with Viper. My thanks again.....
I use it with viper also and it works great but i use the medium sound or even the stock sound if yiu use viper. The loud is a bit too much and it may cut out for some...glad u like it
Well I tried flashing in twrp, no go, the phone reboots into twrp before it flashes anything. Suggestions?
Thank you. This works great!
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA Free mobile app
Not sure what that is. Its working for others so cant be the zip. Try downloading the zip again and make sure you have the newest twrp..
Well i tried it again, could it be because I'm not on a stock rom?

No it should matter. U said its failing in recovery right? Trey extracting the files in the zip and replace yours in system/etc
worked flawless on w8 canadian edge thank you sir makes it really loud
Got it working awesome!
What values were changed in the mixer_paths.xml compared to stock? And what base is the file sourced from? Latest DOI1?

Turns out I'm an idiot. Was a bit loaded on vicodin yesterday and failed to realize that this is the S6 Edge forum, not the S6 Edge+ forum.
Well, it works in that it enables the handset speaker, but in doing so it seems to disable the main (bottom) speaker. So I only have sound coming from the handset speaker. Unfortunately, reverting to stock doesn't seem to have fixed the main speaker problem...so no I have no sound lol. I'll see if I can pull the xml file out of another ROM or something.
Seems like a bad ass idea though.
Edit: Actually, this only seems to be the case with the youtube app. Everything else is working fine as far as I can tell. I'll mess with the app and see if I can figure anything out.
Edit 2: It's not the youtube app, I think maybe it's a certain protocol or something. System sounds and recorded video works fine, for example, but anything I've played from youtube only comes out of the earpiece. On Facebook, some videos play sound through both speakers, some only from the earpiece.
Hello Mates.
I feel that Earphones and Calls on this phone is not Loud enough for a Powered Audio Device like this.
So i was wondering: since there's no working flashable supersu.zip, and Magisk doesn't let me edit System Files, in this case i'm talking about Mixer_Paths.xml on the folder "/vendor/etc".
1 - Is there any other way to edit this file?, since mounting R/W doesn't work and changing permissions is denied.
2 - Is there any MOD or Magisk Module that let's me edit system files? or that let's me Increase Sound Volume?.
Please help cause this is the only thing that's keeping me from loving this phone , i know that since this is a gaming phone there are a few less good things but i'm good with it because to me Design, Audio and Performance is the most important, and photos are good enough on this phone.
Thanks
Edit:
About solution, i created a new thread with the solution here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nu...lls-volume-t4154475/post83373375#post83373375 .

EDIT I did receive a reply on my question about in call ui (small pictures-typical of most OEMs these days)
Hello thanks! so I should have made myself more clear but was also curious about the solution. I do not own the device but am considering getting one-so wanted to know solutions and possibly answers to common things (volume (am all for high incall volume and loud ringers , loud playbacks, brightness etc). I did take a look at your solution and will use it once I get the device. Not too much into the more complex stuff but flashing zips for the mixer xml is up my alley. One question: I asked this elsewhere but maybe you can answer this. How does the call UI and contacts interface look? Not that this phone is necessarily for eye candy ui, want to know if you have full size contact pictures or those small round ones (that appear in the top middle of the screen during a call) If you could post some screenshots or pictures that would help. If you can. Let me know. This device with its unlocking ability and some development is getting my interest. Appreciate it.
