Hello to all Developers and XDA members! I have come here to give you a guide on how you can implement the Volume Boosting Sound Hack Mod on your Galaxy S4 device, so here is how you can do it!

What Is Required...
★ First Make Sure You Have 7-zip installed onto your computer/laptop
★ Make sure you have Notepad++ also installed!

★HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE VOLUME BOOSTING SOUND MOD★

WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO: This mod will let you increase your device volume up some more pretty loudly without the need for you to install any apk file or adding other sound mods into your rom.

STEP 1

Once done save your changes and then place both files the "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" and also the "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm" back into your system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder, and then install the rom to experience some high volume boosting SOUND! If the sound is too loud for you just make some changes by doing the mod again and bringing down the number percentages from the changes that were made in "BLUE" by 1 or by 2: For example; based on my mod the changes in BLUE if its 2:71.0%, you bring that down to 2:70.0% or 2:69.0% and just keep trying to whatever suits your volume needs. Now go enjoy your new volume boosting SOUND!

ALSO NOTE ----> DO NOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN WHAT I HAVE CHANGED IN BLUE, YOU CAN PROBABLY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE BY DOING SO, SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AND IM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DONT FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS!

Hello to all Developers and XDA members! I have come here to give you a guide on how you can implement the Volume Boosting Sound Hack Mod on your Galaxy S4 device, so here is how you can do it!

So, I'm not a developer, but I've used Linux for years. I know as part of the source compiling packages there is a program called patch where you can basically enter what you did in this post into a file. Take a peek: www-cyberciti-biz/faq/appy-patch-file-using-patch-command/ I don't know if Android supports it, but with flashable zips, maybe it doesn't need to because that is more straight forward.

Anyways.. I was interested in this until I saw that it was like 20 steps of finding lines and modding them. It's great work, but ain't nobody got time fo dat.. :)

re: Volume Boost mod

Since sound quality is very subjective among listeners, you're going to have to test it on your own and decide for yourself. Just flash the zip and listen, if you don't like it flash the stock sound back.

The problem with this mod has always been that the volume is not only three times louder than the stock volume
but it's also three times as distorted, way too distorted at most any volume unless you turn the volume real low.

I have always said and thought that this mod would and could be a very excellent audio booster
if and only if somehow this mod could be updated so instead of being three times louder than stock
it would only be 30-40% louder than without the mod....

It still would be a big noticeable difference compared to not having the mod at all.

Not sure if you read the OP to understand what is done but its basically just raising the numbers a few percents. If its too loud and all you want is roughly 40% louder than just add 40% of what ever he adds or to make it easy just add half of what he adds. There is no "update" needed to the mod, its all based on preference. He basically stated that in the end of the post.

If the sound is too loud for you just make some changes by doing the mod again and bringing down the number percentages from the changes that were made in "BLUE" by 1 or by 2: For example; based on my mod the changes in BLUE if its 2:71.0%, you bring that down to 2:70.0% or 2:69.0% and just keep trying to whatever suits your volume needs. Now go enjoy your new volume boosting SOUND!

If it's that easy to change the percentage of volume then it would be an excellent idea to somehow have a better and easier
way to control and limit the max volume of the mod.

If under settings>sound>volume or some other place in the settings there was a volume limiter slider or three check boxes to
choose from like "Low-Medium-High" which the users can set so even if we slide the volume rocker button all the way up the
actual volume would never be louder than the limiter slider or check boxes allows it to be.

The easiest thing to do is look at the difference he changed it to and do only half. Even easier is someone to create a lil app that pulls up all those values in a list where you can add or subtract from the current value. Kinda like the different Mhz voltage settings.

I installed the Loud zip and it worked but it was too loud...The headphones part worked great...But phone speaker wasn't too good if I cranked it..So....
Am I able to modify this by pulling the file from my phone when it's plugged to my pc, adjust what I need to adjust and placing it back in the proper folder, then reboot? Or do I have to reinstall my rom by flashing each time? I wanna tinker the settings a bit and try again so just looking for the easiest way.....Thnx

    Now save your changes and head to STEP 2!

    STEP 2

    ★ Go into your system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder again.
    ★ Now take out the file called "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm"

    Now open up "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm" with Notepad++ for editing:

    Now for this part of this guide what I have highlighted in "GREEN" text is what you have to search for using Notepad++, And what you see in "BLUE" is the line you have to make changes to:

    Once done save your changes and then place both files the "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" and also the "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm" back into your system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder, and then install the rom to experience some high volume boosting SOUND! If the sound is too loud for you just make some changes by doing the mod again and bringing down the number percentages from the changes that were made in "BLUE" by 1 or by 2: For example; based on my mod the changes in BLUE if its 2:71.0%, you bring that down to 2:70.0% or 2:69.0% and just keep trying to whatever suits your volume needs. Now go enjoy your new volume boosting SOUND!

    ALSO NOTE ----> DO NOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN WHAT I HAVE CHANGED IN BLUE, YOU CAN PROBABLY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE BY DOING SO, SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AND IM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DONT FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS!

    I made a sound mod that is between Stock and Moderate. It gives you a louder sound without the distortion. https://www.dropbox.com/s/flphbinrx1o66mh/SM_Lite.zip Please give me a thanks if you enjoyed this mod. A big thanks to the OPer and Fornowagain for packaging it for me.
