So if I'm playing music(headset), and I have to go to 3/4 of the bar to have a good volume, I should use .v4?

I noticed that I also have to go almost max before I hit a nice level for speaker music.

Then the procedure is restart, backup, flash, startup and enjoy?

Thanks!!

Hi!

As always: THANKS!!

From the S3 over the S4 and now the S5 - It was always very little "code" but you had to know where to post the file(s) with a root explorer and it works - after fixing the permissions and resetting the phone - fantastic.

I don't know if only the european Smartphone are not loud enough but when I use real expensive headphones I want to have a nice volume, too. :good:

Thank you, works great on att s5 twi5ted lollipop. I flashed per original (non-att) post, didn't work, then used this method with success. For me the volume is boosted to a perfect level using v.4 :good:

    Works great on the ATT S5
    All you have to do is download the file you want extract the mixer_paths.xml from zip replace it in system/ect set permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot

    S5 Volume Boost ¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫

    .v1 Lite
    All sounds boosted by 4, I choose to increase by only 4 as I felt this gave a great boost to the stock level without sound distortion.
    from feedback this is the best/perfect level of sound

    .v2 Medium
    All sounds boosted by 5, Medium Level sound increase. personally untested due lite is best for me.

    .v3 Extra Loud
    All sounds boosted by 6, Extra Loud Level sound increase. personally untested, could cause a crackle sound when music, ringtone etc is
    played.

    .v4 Lite + Headphone Increase
    Same as Lite, apart the headphone volume is increased slightly more, tested and is ok for a boost to your tunes


    It would be a good idea to do a nandroid backup before hand.
    Any problems please reply, and flash the restore to get back to stock level

    Easy flash guide:
    Drop .zip onto internal or ext storage
    and flash with recovery.

    Hope you like, and any questions please ask :)

    As I understand it, we don't have a recovery for our device yet. I like this idea (lord knows Samsung will always leave their system levels too low), but I have no idea how we'd flash it until we have a recovery.

    have you tried using stock recovery to flash this zip file?
    do not try anything stupid that can miss your phone with recovery

    i posted on how to make this work please read
    download the vol mod you like
    extract the mixer_path.xml
    copy paste it over system/ect with root explorer
    set permission to rw-r--r--
    and reboot

    To save anybody any time that makes the same mistake I did, set permissions to rw r r after you copy and paste the file you extract, I did it before and nit after and my s5 wouldn't play any music or open the music app...once I got it though it works flawlessly thnx, for posting this...

    Worked great on my phone. Now I can actually hear it again through this Lifeproof case.

    Thanks, it seems to be working fine. Now if I could just find an equalizer app that really works globally. Some claim to do so, but I keep running into problems where I need to kill all media apps and the equalizer app, then restart the equalizer app before starting a media app in order for the equalizer to actually do anything.
