[MOD] Volume Boost for Headphones, Earpiece, Bluetooth, and Speaker. JB/KK/G3 Roms

AS OF NOW, THIS IS UNSUPPORTED, IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE OVER DEVELOPMENT FEEL FREE TO, MAKE SURE CREDIT IS GIVEN TO ME AND IXNYNE. EDITING THE FILES WITH A TEXT EDITOR WORKS BEST. HAVE FUN!!! EMAIL ME @ [email protected]
Hey everybody, I just made some Headphone volume boost scripts, all are tested and work, though some may damage your hardware.(Continue reading)
These are flashable zip files that will work on any recovery.
They range in digital volume from 62-68 for now. And range from 19-20 in digital volume. (63/19 only)
They are safe to flash for the most part, but values above 65 for digital volume MAY damage hardware.
How to install:
Download and flash in CWM, TWRP, or Philz
Downloads: Below
-Slight boost, choose 62/20, 63/19, 63/20, or 64/20
-Medium boost, choose 65/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.
-High boost, choose 66/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.
-Experimental Extreme boost, choose 67/20 or 68/20- use with caution! May damage hardware.
I would recommend 63/19 for iPhone like sound. Or 64/20 for loud sound, without distortion.
Aosp earpiece boost and stock earpiece was removed, they didn't work correctly, use new earpiece and Bluetooth boost!
Remember:
I am not responsible if your phone explodes, creates a nuclear weapon, makes your ears bleed, or if it stops working.
If you say I broke your phone, I will laugh at you. Please advise!
Bugs: None reported... Yet.
Please tell me if anything is wrong!
Thanks,
willi_3609
P.S. this is working best on KK Roms. And new Earpiece and Bluetooth boost are out!!!
Thanks to iXNyNe for the base files!

Thank you for making this. I found it to be very helpful.

I believe the handset speaker uses rx1 so using the headphone zip should also set the handset volume.

It uses rx7

Just put them up, they use rx7 not rx1, I wish it were that easy, I've been trying to find a way to boost the earpiece volume, for making calls. Its hard.

your the best dude..

was looking for this a long time ago.. i flashed 2 files yesterday from some1 who posted other volume boosts as well but having a more wide option available is amazing....

If i an not mistaken , we can flash multiple files one after the other, correct ?
example.. i want to boost Head phone and speaker .. so flash Headphone6520.zip followed by Speaker66.zip ? or would Speaker66.zip overwrite Headphone.zip changes ?
As i understand it both files just modify Mixer_paths.Xml, so multiple flashes would just be overwriting the same file?
Thanks for the mod !

You can use both.

It just modifies them, you can flash both speaker and headphone, no need to wipe anything either!

Can anybody test somethibg out for me.
I need somebody with an AOSP based ROM to test my Earpiece zip. That would be great, ui need to know if it works on the D80x models
It should boost earpiece volume as that is the only lower value, but I would be thankful to have someone test it and report back to me. Thanks.

@willi_3609 Thanks for this..
i ve flashed some of them.. it works fine with cable headphone but bluetooth headphone is not as loud as cable headphones..
Would be much better if bluetooth headphones could sound like same as cable headphones

Thanks!

its been posted a lot of time, bluetooth headphone volume is digital. cant be changed
question: when i already have a volume mod flashed then i flash another kernel, the volume mod flashed will dissappear right? so need to flash the boost again..? ?

Answer: Its actually not about kernel.. But yes. It can help..
I ve tried many rome and mods .. Its definitely changeable.. Last time i ve tried sony walkman on my g2 (cloudy g3 rom) was the best sound with bluetooth.. It was as loud as cable..
but cloudy's rom wasn't good enough.. (heating) therefor i had to change it..
So one thing i m sure is bluetooth sounds can be changed..

Cm integration
Hey OP can you look at possibly getting this working with cm11. I know there are other mods that say they help with those volume issues but I've yet to find one that gives stock like or close to stock results. Thanks!

it already works.

This works with all Roms, cm, aosp, stock, everything.
It just edits a file already present in the Roms.

Tab S sound Boost, cannot find Mixer paths xml file? Help needed

I love my tab S and maybe this is the best screen I've seen my whole life.
But one thing bothers me that, I've been using the s and note devices from past 3 years, one thing I always did was Boost the sound for Speaker and the Headphone in the Mixer paths xml file.
I've searched this tab for a similar file and have got absolutely nothing.
Any good developer please help me out, if you can find that for it would be a great help

You could install my ROM and use the DSP manager, it also uses mixerpaths though a more serious answer is look at the comments it should point u in the right direction.

I was just searching but couldn't find the right direction, actually M reluctant to move to Cm I don't like touchwiz but I want a fully functional stock ROM, saw the comments section couldn't make it what were you telling my friend
Can you please consider me a noob and help me out? :angel:

you can edit default_gain in system/etc

I thought xml edit only applied to CM/AOSP/GPe roms.

OP, did this end up working out for you?

I've attached some screen shots to what you need to modify to increase your external speakers along with headphones.
You'll need Root Explorer or equivalent.
Let me know if it helped.

It's best to raise the digital volume it sounds less distorted ...my setting are +12 to all digital volumes and sounds great

Just to to clarify, you only need to raise the digital volume? I'm going to give it a shot.

I have tried that and multiple others. Some work well, some dont.
None have given me what I am looking for which it the ability to boost things like system volume, notification volume, etc. Still looking for a way to do that.
The best that I can accomplish is boosting media volume via a music or video player. If that is all you are looking for then the equalizer and bass booster will work fine.

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.

what are the difference between moding mixer_paths and mixer_gains ?
I edited the mixer gains to 40 for the headset media volume and the sound is so great now but I still don't know the difference between both files

Gain controls the sound volume
Path tells the inputs and outputs what to do.

You need twrp when it comes out or you can unzip and replace the file in the same location as the zip.
Plus change the permission to r--r---

It's in the first post.
Just replace the gain with the gain
In system/etc
Rewrite permission to r--r---
Than reboot
Use root Explorer

It is loudest it can be...if you go over expect sound clipping and distorsion. I maximise loudness with viper4android driver.

You welcome...just playing with values can get best scores.
Remember not to touch mixer_gains.xml to avoid bootloop !
I get into bootloop when I tried to edit it.

Yes indeed, Note 10+ is bad device after all.
Even my S8+ have better sound.
Camera is avarage bad, sound is very poor...etc.
It seems like bad investment.

Those seem pretty high compared to presets. Yo really changed them to 229/209?
Is there a certain sequence of numbers you have to use, i.e., what made you choose those numbers?

I think I've found a solution. I'm still on pie but I couldn't edit any vendor files within android. So I copied mixer_gains.xml to my internal storage, editet it and replaced it with the twrp recoverys file manager. Of course you need to make sure that vendor can be written.
Just for your safety, take a backup of the edited file or a full vendor backup.
