{MOD} Volume Hack Lollipop{Update6/7/15}

Search This thread
it said something about wrong footer and the signature check failed. is it because I have KK 4.4.2?

Yes it's only for lollipop, hence the file name.

Always do a nandroid backup to external before flashing anything, you can change titanium backup to save/restore from external, and if you use Nova or something similar you can make backups to external. And I use G Cloud to back up my SMS, call logs to the cloud, automatic daily backups. Never have to worry about losing a thing

it said something about wrong footer and the signature check failed. is it because I have KK 4.4.2? I'm so pi$$ed though... This is why I hate having stuff on the internal memory. This is the last of it though, every single thing goes on my external sdcard now. I'm tired of it. I didn't have much stuff but it was recent that I purposely saved & now I have to go around again searching for programs to somehow recover the pictures & videos... Plus it's hard to actually recover it from the internal memory compared to a sdcard or usb drive.. The police got it too easy to take every single thing out of a phone that they want but we regular people either can't or always something else.

Get me the two kitkat files listed on the OP and I can make the sound mod for you.

I did this mod by editing the 2 files mentioned using ES File Explorer. That way I was able to save the original files somewhere else before I changed them. I just felt better doing that since I don't know how to flash in recovery (I rooted using TowelRoot).

The mod sounds AWESOME!!! .. a must do for Galaxy S4 Active owners.

Big thanks to blaz1nr.

Hello sir. Can I use it for samsung galaxy s3 lollipod 5.1.1? Which file should I use? Tq sir

Excuse me for butting in just a quick question. Titanium tells me i do not have write access to my sd on oc7. Is there a simple fix for this.

Yeah I had the same problem. The fix is to open /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml with a root-enabled file explorer and make these changes:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Make sure to save the changes, then reboot.

how do I specifically increase phone handset call volume

I flashed
Galaxy_Mod_SoundMod_Loud.zip and
Galaxy_Mod_Volume_Boost_Lollipop_Alpha.zip to my Sprint Samsung G4 running Lolipop 5.1 but have no idea what each file does?

1. It worked great, all sounds are louder except when I am talking on the handset I still have difficulty hearing the other person talk, they are not loud enough.
How do I specifically increase the handset volume (of the person I am talking to) during a call (when there is no speakerphone, no headset, no bluetooth, ...)?

2. How does one know when to tweak the snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 file variables versus the mixer_paths.xml file variables?
What do each of these files control, their purpose, their function?
Do they need to be tweaked in unison or can you tweak just one or the other?
I noticed both files had entries for "Handset" but I have no idea what tweaking one versus the other does?
What are the range of allowable values?
Can anyone refer me to a document or reference manual that explains the basics of these types of questions?

You can use this guide...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293133

You can edit it directly in your phone... Use the file manager of cm13 set it to root access mode then go to /etc/snd_soc_msm you'll find it there... Then scroll down until you find the lines said in the guide

You can edit the handset by finding SectionDevice "handset"

You can use the editor of cm13 file manager

BTW... Since there's no snd_soc_msm_fusion3_auxpcm in our phone... Just ignore it and do step 1 only... Reboot after doing it...

I think the speaker can go below 74% because 74%+ is too loud and disorted

Mixer_paths.xml is a file wherein it is like snd_soc... But mixer_paths cannot be found in samsung phones and some phones... Both are the same because it is where you can find the volumes and some functions related to audio... Well mixer_paths i think is like for other phones like Nexus'

Sorry if you got confused... i just found out that you can choose what to edit... the root etc or the system etc... i was doing the root etc and that's what ive said last post but the thread i sent to you was the system etc. Well you can choose if you're gonna do root etc or system etc... but i think its more easy to do root etc ?

Is there a way to manually install this on lolipop? Manual from 1st post didn't made any difference, as well as unzipping update package and placing mixer_paths.xml in system\etc (I've also set the permissions).

    Yet another mod for the S4 Active . Its always seems like volumes are set just loud enough to hear.Well good thing I like it loud and clear,sometimes really loud.So let's enjoy music and video's the way we want to.(LOUD) Two levels to choose from. Boost it up or go for maximum safe loudness level it's up to you. Now with Lollipop support.

    About:
    Increased volume levels about 25% or 40+% system wide.
    Noticeable increases in volume system wide
    No lose of clarity
    No speaker distortions
    No over the top dangerous levels
    No external speaker crackle

    Just flash in recovery that's it.Enjoy! Please give thanks if you like my work.
    Download's below


    How to raise/lower volume level's(Warning over adjustment will destroy your speakers)
    Sound volume can be raised or lowered by editing two files. I have only given you a snippet of what need's to be changed.Take both of the files and see what values I changed,then take your sound files and change the values accordingly. They will be very similar.DO NOT CHANGE ANY VALUE MORE THAN +10 (EXAMPLE.2.67.7 ORIGINAL VALUE/ 2.75.7 IS CHANGED VALUE TO START. THIS MIGHT EVEN BE TO HIGH FOR SOME DEVICES.


    There is a lot to change if you want it correct. Be patient and dont rush through this,you might regret it.

    snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm / location/ etc/snd_soc_msm

    Example 1: Here I have changed the value's identified by arrows. These value's have already been changed to increase volume.Compare to stock for all changes made. All of the changes are in the same general area in both files.
