Low phone volume

I have an HTC Hermes and I would like the phone volume to be higher than it is, at the highest setting it seems like it's only about mid level to other phones,
the speaakerphone works great, but not the mini phone speaker.
so how can I increase the volume on the phone part of it.
The volume level is on highest already.

I'd like that too.
It's definitly low and sometimes i have trouble to hear in noisy environement.

Summerblues and Randall, you have to give us a little more information to go on.
Have you flashed a WM6 ROM? If so, which one? Some of the WM6 ROMs were supposed to fix this low volume problem.

I use the Schaps 3.57a wm6 rom.
And the volume is lower than the stock rom imo. Is there a patch or a way to fix it ?
Thx

low volume
I'm using vp3G's WM6 Cingular/AT&T Optimized ROMs

Read the Hermes Wiki theres a post on how to fix this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry

Do you mean this entry?
====================================
Fix low volume issue
The volume issue has 2 fixes, 1 permanent and 1 temporary.
If you disable the startup animation (see below) it permanently fixes the volume problem.
If you like the animation you can leave it, but you have to put your phone in sleep mode then bring it out of sleep mode after every reboot.
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
add: DWord value name = volume
value data = 4294967295then press power (sleep) wait 10 sec and press power again.
======================================
It basically says: "Remove startup animation and you a golden", but it does not work as advertised. I have Sleuth 3.1 ROM which does not have startup animation, but still the earpiece volume is very low.

I've also tried this and it does not have any effect. I'm using VP3G's WM6 AT&T Rom.

I'm kind of just pulling this out of my ass, but I have noticed that on some ROMs, there is a .exe called "set acoustic parameters" or something like that. It runs on first boot. I always assumed that it was the fix for the Hermes being too quiet.
Did your ROMs run that at start up?

Nail on the head! Its that exactly I've tested and cooked many rom's and ALL the ones that dont run "setacoustic.exe" upon a hard reset have low volume.
Here is a sample of what "setacoustic.exe" is setting up....

oh and there are 120 odd of these xml files!!

so how would we add this into a home cooked rom of our own (or tell if it is in the base rom we are using!)
??

Oh I forgot ..... the 120 odd xml files are already in the roms, so Ive never had any problems there.

Well, the fastest/laziest way to find out if it is in the rom you are using is to ask the maker. Or, if you don't want to do that, you could do a full back up and hard reset. It should run the first boot config again after the setup.
Really though, the setacoustic.exe file takes a really long time to load. Long enough that you would probably remember it if had loaded.

How do i install that in the rom i'm using atm ?
Thx

how can we install it ?

you must cook my files into a rom for it to work.

Ratcom, I was just moving files around on my pc today, and noticed some set acc. files transferring over from some old rom dumps etc, so I took a peek, I have 61 files here including the .exe, I thought they were .xml files also, but these are .csv, are you sure on that xml? I could have some jacked up files, I didn't check a rom directly.
Also, about cooking them in, Im thinking it should be possible to just dump them in the windows directory of the rom you are currently running, and run the .exe, and then they could even be deleted afterwards, Im have not checked this for myself though.
I am also wondering if the .csv/or if its .xml count in each rom that had it is the same. If anyones cares for the files I have, lemme know, I can't post attachments through PIE atm, but Ill up them later if anyone is interested.
Btw, the .csv count jumps from setaccousticparam29 to setaccoustic100, on these files I have here, meaning nothing inbetween 29 and 100, and not having checked a few roms directly myself at the moment, Im not sure if those were intentionally left out oem.
edit: After just quickly checking the above zip, the cusTSK.exe is for setting a .tsk file aka oem preconfig theme, and isn't needed, but that's no biggie, not sure about the others, I would have to check better.

How do you run the .Exe in the windows directory ?

Tapping on it once should run it.

-SOLVED!! [Q] Need Help, Where Do I Place Shuddown Sound I've Created For Animations?

Hi I've had no luck finding the specific file name, type and location I need for the shutdown sound to go with the shutdown animation I've been working on.
I know the shutdown animation on Desire HD is called "downanimation.zip" and it goes in the "/system/customize/resource" folder of the phone. I don't know a file name or type it uses as by default there is no sound.
I also know the startup sound is "android_audio.mp3" placed in the "/data/local" folder of the phone.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'll be sure to post the finished product of the startup & shutdown aminations I've been working on in the Themes & Apps section for Desire HD on XDA.
---Update 19 Feb 2011--- SOLVED!!!
Yay I've finally figured this out!! Using a .mp3 for shutdown sounds now works! This may well be a first for Desire HD! Please follow this thread I made, just look at the top of the first post and the update explains it and has included files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935761

just a stab the dark ..... but have you tried adding a shutdown.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui/

Yes I've tried that and it does nothing.
I think I maybe getting closer though... I've found that the two .xml files located in "/system/customize/CID/" have info at the bottom of the xml file wich tells the Android system where to look to locate the boot animation, the shutdown animation and the startup sound as well as the frame rate to use for the shutdown animation. I've tried to edit this to include an audiio location for the shutdown but so far it hasn't worked. The frame rate change did work for my shutdown animation though. So I believe the code here is different than the one used in the .xml for the startup sound or maybe even the kernal won't work with it at all?!? I really don't know?!?
I'm now trying to find a custom ROM from another phone based on Android 2.2 that does use shutdown sounds and then I can see what it has in the "default.xml" file located in /system/customize/CID. If anyone knows a phone & ROM please let me know so I can use it to solve this. Thanks

Yes The Samsung phones are the only ones I've found so far with guides of where to put the shutdown animation sound. That's the folder mentioned above. It doesn't work on a Desire HD. I've downloaded 3 custom ROMs for the Samsung Facinate & Captive trying to find the similar .xml files that would give me the clue how to enter the write code for the system to use shutdown sounds on a Desire HD. I can't find the files in the Samsung ROMs
Lee the developer of LeeDrOiD custom ROMs said maybe it's not possible. Damn
Anyway I'll be posting the startup and shutdown animations I've been working on....

Done, Done and Done. Happy to finally get a shutdown MP3 file to work! Check the top of the page for the info and link.... all explained. Have fun!

No sound on boot?

Hmm, for some reason I'm not getting any sound when I boot my phone.
I went from using the Call of Android boot animation, to a different one, and took the sound out, but decided to go back to it, and now the sound won't load.
Pushed via adb, if I look in the folder via Astro, SPC_animation_final.mp3 is in there, and it works on my computer, but I can't figure out why no sound plays on boot.
Any ideas?

do a search for enabling boot sound and there are a couple files that can be excuted via adb to enable sound. I know it works for AOSP roms. bootsnd.sh or something not 100 pct sure but its out there man... search for it sorry

Is your volume up, and take a look at the default.xml in system/customize/CID near the bottom. Look for audio=system/customize/resource or data/local or system/media/adroid_audio or spc_animation_final.mp3 to make sure audio is enabled
My rice krispies told me what to say

lol, yes my sound is up, that's the 1st thing I checked when it wouldn't work.
aw, I see the problem. I just checked the xml, and for some odd reason Synergy has it listed as android_audio.mp3 instead of SPC_animation_final.mp3
thx for the tip at looking at the default.xml

[Q] how do I delete reboot tone

Since 1st time I rebooted my phone (even before I had my friend Root and flash Blazer 4.0,) my Samsung Epic 4G touch would play this Phone ring tone titled " minimal tone " that is a major annoyance and I cant find the file or source to delete or
change the settings. This occurs only when I reboot the phone. Btw- my actual phone ringtone is NOT set to this tone. I thought maybe a music player/media player was at fault. ( where I could delete the app ). And even after doing complete wipe prior to flashing Blazer 4.0, it still plays this tone. As i said, this tone existed prior to rooting or Flashing rom.
I thought there might be a way to extract and delete this file-
Please send me detailed info on how and where I can correct this. I even took phone to Sprint ( preroot/rom ) and they had no clues.. the tone will play for 3-5 minutes. please people- help me out.( I hope its not a defect,)

You need root access to remove the start up tone. I think all the ROMs for this phone have it removed by default though.

administrative access- tone file delete
phone is rooted- I just dont know how to find this particular file/tone and delete it and/or change settings

I believe its located in system/media/video/shutdown

File found
THANKS ! was under system/media/audio/ringtones/minimal tone and de-leted !!!,,, next- I will have to see if the system plays any other tone by some strange systematic replacement
or if it will simply be muted as desired. I searched in the great app ROM TOOLBOX,,root browser ( paid version ) and Voila !

anomoly continues
Need Expert assistance-
The tone itself was deleted- I rebooted phone 3-4 times since , changing boot animation and font change ( using rom toolbox )
but was shocked when on the 5th reboot the dreaded sound played !! but when I looked in the file of ringtones- its gone !
What the heck ?? please give ideas and help.

[Q] System set to read only, how do I change it?

Ok so I have a problem, I would think most users have this too: The max volume level being too low. So I went ahead to search google for help, and downloaded "Ultra volume mod" now what I'm supposed to do is to overwrite the "default_gain.config" but when I do, it says permission denied. So I tried another method, manually editing the code. Now it justs says that an error occured when I try to save it. I did a little digging on the internet, and found out that my system is apparently read-only, how do I change that? Oh yeah, I'm currently using ES File Explorer, most people said theres a button to mount something but I can't find the button, maybe thats the fix to it? I have the latest updated version of the root explorer and I still cant find the mount button.
Well, while you're here can you help me with another one? On game hacking apps such as GameCIH or GameGuardian, either right after I grant root permission, it says "error: root denied" or it says nothing and when I try to change the code, nothing happens. Thanks for helping.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-17005

OS: Android Jellybean 4.3, Stock.
Any other info thats needed? Please say so, I will do my best to provide them. And please don't post complicated stuff, the most I can do is read simple codes and edit them, such as the volume one. I cant decode, read complex codes or create codes, if theres anything complicated, please try your best to explain how to do it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Open ES file explorer hit menu button ,scroll down, check mark root explorer ,slider will turn blue,then click extreme left of root explorer you'll get a pop up with few options,click on Mount R/W then another pop up comes up and you'll see RO and RW columns,and 4 rows of options.Select the RW column for each of the row options.That would mount your system to read and write files just like you are doing right now.Once you change your default_gain.conf it will ask you to replace it with existing one (you should make a back up of your original one on the sd card) then replace it,long press on the new file click on MORE at the bottom right then Properties then you'll see permissions as RWX-RWX-RWX- and Change next to it.click on change and you'll see 3 rows and 3 columns make it read as RW-R-R basically selecting first 2 columns for first option and only the first option for 2nd and 3rd row.Click ok,exit the es file explorer and reboot your phone. I am attaching images below so you can get visual help as well (my options differ a bit under es file explorer since im not running TW ROM but concept is same
Note: Root is must (I see you've mentioned you are rooted)

Thank you so much for the help, it worked perfectly, now my volume is just as its supposed to be. Thank you for your help, now i just need someone to answer my second question.

2nd one sounds like an app issue now you have confirmed it's not a root issue. Probably don't work on 4.3. Think I remember seeing groans from game cheaters about apps not being supported.

Oh okay... well, i tried out the mod, forgot that 1db more is 3 times a loud as the bd before. Almost busted my cheapass earphones. Also the static noise you hear in idk, clash of clans during start up increased by at least 5 times. Switching back, luckily i took your advice on making a backup.Thanks guys, really helped me. In the shortest time of any other forum too.

Ya many of us eat , breathe and sleep on xda and love to help out people cause we were also once in your shoes so I know how it feels when something doesn't work right ,the anxiety levels sky rocket at once and panick sets in.
Edit: You might want to quote people when responding to someone in particular so he/she gets notified otherwise they might not check back on the thread and your future questions might be left unanswered.Just a suggestion

Well if its just thanks i think they would like it if they didnt get spammed on email. Anyway i fixed the static problem, seems like the old speakerboost app i tried but did not delete was jealous of the mod, uninstalled and mod works like a charm.
