[MOD] [N4] BEATS+XLOUDER 4.2.1/4.2.2 [13/06/13] ☆ Pump It! ☆ Louder ☆

---

Notice: Flashables are divided into Post #1 and Post #2. Post #1 will contain all the information, misc & flashables for 4.2.2/4.2,1 and Post #2 will contain the experimental nightlies, take note all the latest will be the most recent upload. 4.2.2 builds start from V2B4

What This Mod Does:

Nexus devices have pitifully low volume. Previous fixes like the Volume+ app and Franco's app only increased the volume on music playback, or in the headphones, but did nothing for in-call volume or notifications.

This mod changes all that. It will increase ALL volume, across the entire phone: ringtone, music, notifications, loudspeaker sound, ear speaker sound, in-call volume, and headset.

Requirements:

-Rooted.
-Custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
-Jellybean Deodexed OR Odexed.
-Custom kernel with high quality audio tweak enabled is recommended (e.g. Franco or Trinity or AK).
-Nandroid Backup, I implore people to have at least one recent one as this method is faster.


Compatible With :

-Universal for all kernels and ROMs.
-All major players, including: Google Music, Noozy, PowerAMP (see note below), Apollo, PlayerPRO.

Note on PowerAMP - To allow PowerAMP to be controlled by external DSP/EQ you must disable Direct Volume Control under Audio Tweaks in Settings.

Installation:

*Revert previously installed patch as necessary.

1. Copy zip to Internal Storage
2. Boot to custom recovery
3. Install zip from sdcard
4. Reboot
5. Choose EIZO ReWire PRO under Settings > Sound > Music Effects

Note: If you do not have the "Music Effects" submenu then EIZO should be enabled by default since it's the only DSP present.


FAQ:

What you should do:

• Configure EIZO, Select it in Music Effects.
  
• Refer to the Op for EIZO settings.
  
• Practice tuning your own values. EVERY user has their own listening experience. What sounds good to one and not the other doesn't become the fault of the MOD.
  
• Keep backups of your Alsa Mixer if you use call recording BEFORE flashing this MOD
  
• Keep backups (The revert is safe) but I am not responsible for loops if you flash this on another device.
  
• Flash the MOD after every ROM flash. Not necessarily kernel flash.
  
• Search if your ROM has been mentioned. KEYWORDS are a must. Example is 'PA works' and the results will be displayed. If not feel free to ask and I shall assist you.

What you shouldn't do:

• Test the loudness via Settings. There is an implemented system limiter so you can't tell the difference. Call yourself or sms yourself so you can know the difference.
  
• Complain of distortion without testing your own values. I've set a recommend layout in the OP hoping it's to give you an idea.
  
• Error 7, Error 7 is a halt procedure. Please debug the error and see what's written before saying Error 7 only.
  
• Alternate flashing. (I know some of you prefer to flash the Gnexus mod on the N7 but doing so breaks the media codes, if you have the patience to swap the media codes in etc folder of the N7 then it's fine)
  
• Don't use Noozy lockscreen controls, they're unreliable till a new app is remade.
  
• Don't use compression in EIZO. Causes massive volume fluctuations as it was set to be an AVLS.
  
• Please refrain from asking about PowerAMP as it denies the use of third party DSP's which make PlayerPro a better alternative.

Nice to see you here , but will this have limitations based on the ROM we're running like from the nexus 7?

I know alot of people are scared about bootloops with the N4, but I've had 2 labrats so far to test these builds, and they worked out fine. Here's the result from a good friend and tester.

@heat361 Limitations on what basis? The tab is one story :P But being a phone I would need to tweak it better for such and better, What limitations did you have in mind? and yeah, NexusLouder turning it into a Nexus Project :P

Running fine on AOKP. Had to clear data for noozoxide for all the settings to work.

Can't say I know what I'm doing though..The in-app settings for Noozy seem to sound much better than anything done in Noozoxide. Similar with Beats+Play music, both Beats and in-app Noozy seem to do a lot better than anything with Noozoxide.

Also, any way to get Beats/Noozoxide working with Gonemad? I assume not. Never heard of Noozy before it's a beautiful app, very glad to see it, although not as practical while driving. Gonemad gesture/volume key for track change support is hard to beat while driving. Thanks for the addition, I'll be sure to keep playing around especially in the car/with speakers, I've only tested with MEEI cc51 in ears so far.
