A DEFINITE FIX FOR LOW VOLUME IN CUSTOM ROMs?

[Shonilchi]

Hi All,

After flashing so many custom ROMs - AOSP, Lineage, AOKP, etc, I found one common issue - low volume both for media and during a call.

Is the solution in the thread of http://www.android.gs/fix-low-audio-volume-custom-roms-cyanogenmod/ a definite fix for those? The solution looks pretty simple. Copy over the audio/sound files from your stock ROM directory and then paste it in the custom ROM directory after flashing it. Can anybody please confirm if it actually works?

Well, looks like the users are 'adjusted' to the low volume issue. I always keep going back to stock just because of this sole reason.

That article is generic and does NOT apply to Moto G4 (plus). I can't find that file at that subdirectory location. It's easier to use Viper4Android and boost audio that way. "mixer_paths.xml" is the file you'd want to edit if you want to follow that guide. It's located in /etc subfolder from root directory of our phone.
