This mod enables the Earpiece speaker to be used at the same time with the main rear speaker when using listening to music, and watching videos etc...

Updated

Now TRUE STEREO with Earpiece playing the LEFT channel and rear speaker playing the RIGHT channel. Test with app of your choice.
To install open the zip file and extract the "default_gain.conf" file and copy it to "/system/etc/default_gain.conf" using your preferred method.

Then set permissions to rw-r-r or 0644 ( e.g "chmod 0644 /system/etc/default_gain.conf" ) and REBOOT your device.

Volume levels are pushed to maximum possible without distortion with EQ on Earpiece speaker to remove low frequencies. Good luck. :)

Works on my SM-910K running MarshMallow 6.0.1.

WARNING!!!

THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON THE DEVICE MENTIONED ABOVE. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DEFAULT "default_gain.conf" FILE BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW ONE.
(E.g "adb pull /system/etc/default_gain.conf [safe location here]" or "adb shell cp /system/etc/default_gain.conf /sdcard/default_gain.conf.bak" )

To be SAFE DO a NANDroid backup in Recovery.

Happy modding.

NOTE:

If you cannot find "/system/etc/default_gain.conf" file on your device then this MOD will NOT WORK for you. If that is the case you can try the other surround mods for other variants of the Note 4. This has only been tested to work on the N910K.

I created this one because the mods for the other variants didn't work on my phone since it uses the "default_gain.conf" file instead of the 'normal' "mixer_paths.xml" file.

Tried it on my N910F running 6.0.1 and seems like it works,but need to cover the main speaker to hear anything from the earpiece.
If there was a quick ON/OFF toggle you would notice that it makes quite a difference than with it turned off completely. Especially when you receive a notification etc... with your phone lying on a flat surface.

I haven't yet figured out how to manipulate the EQ settings for the front earpiece so that it only outputs mid-treble range without any bass.

Once I do, I'll be able to boost the volume without causing distortion. Otherwise it might damage the earpiece.

It works on the 910C running Nemesis

Good job OP, this mod on 910C it is been hit and miss with a lot of distortion. This is the best implementation I have used. ?

Hi again,
After update to erobotrom v1.2, I have the same problem - microphone stop working. Somebody have the original mixer_path and default_gain or the other solution for this problem. Thx.
