[Mod] Native volume boost - no apps needed! mixer_paths.xml - Update Jan 13 2016

[hp420]

This is a tiny mod to get some better volume from Moto G3. I used the mixer_paths.xml from the .44 2gb build for xt1540, but the file should be universal for g3, maybe even g2 and g...I haven't tested it on anything but my own g3, so I can't say.

Use at your own risk!

Drop the file in /etc, rename to mixer_paths.xml, and change permissions to rw-r--r--

To revert, use the mixer_paths-84.xml file provided, rename to mixer_paths.xml and set permissions rw-r--r--

You must reboot for changes to apply. This is a TOTAL volume mod!! it will boost every volume on the device.

Default value is 84, I set it at 90. I like my music extremely loud, and this was slightly lower than I would choose, so it should be good for most people. If anyone wants more or less, I can take requests.

[b]**Update Changelog:[/b]

[u]Jan 13 2016 - [/u]

- fixed oversight for in-call volume.
- changed file names to be easier to differentiate. 
    - mixer_paths-84.xml is the stock 100% untouched backup now. 
       - same exact file, new name. no need to redownload.
- added volume 92.

*WARNING!! For the new vol-92 option, speaker volume WILL be distorted turned all the way up. I got lazy and didn't want to play trial and error to find the one that controls speaker. I will fix this in the next update, coming as soon as I have time. For now, please just turn it down a click or two if you use this one.

Clipping like hell.

 

[Dasaviour_official]

No issues, working great but sometimes on full volume, the lower back gets warmed up around the speaker.

 

[hp420]

Clipping like hell.

what rom and music app are you using? I've flashed quite a few roms and used this with no issues on any yet.

 

[hp420]

I've used this with the MM soak test and it still works fine. It shouldn't need any updating when the official MM rom releases.

....just an fyi

will this work on moto E X1521?though currently using cm12.1

 

[hp420]

maybe...it's a standard aosp file. I would back up your original mixer_paths.xml and give it a shot. You can just copy your original one back if you have any issues.

 

[klurosu]

All ok in Moto G 3gen (XT1541)
my moto g is now a disco inferno xD (thx man)

 

[viciuz]

dont work in CM12.1 and Blu Life 8

Only stock, sorry

 

[ravollmer]

Works for me on cm12.1

 

[Jmingels]

Works amazing on Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9 no clipping yet
Osprey

 

[mendelssohn]

Works like a charm here (stock 5.1.1). I was really anoyed by the weak maximum volume, much better now Thanks again.

 

[djekan]

On my XT1541 all notification, ringtone, calls, etc, goes off, no sounds, worst, after backup the file it's the same no results.

Solution..?? Restore backup or somebody share the stock file to XT1541?

Someone can help me?

Thanks.

What rom are you using?

Also, if you restored the original file and have the same results you obviously did something wrong....that or it wasn't working beforehand either, because to restore the original file is to return it to its state prior to modifying it...as in getting rid of my modification entirely. Trust me, my file doesn't affect your device once it's gone...that is completely impossible in every way, shape and form.

Did you remember to change the permissions?? That would definitely explain having absolutely no sound at all.

Also, your sku means absolutely nothing since we all share this identical file within our firmware. There is not a single moto g3 variant which comes stock with a different mixer_paths.xml

 

[mendelssohn]

Hello again, after a few days of testing the maximum volume is still a bit weak in my opinion (especially for classical music ), is there any way to increase it even more? Thank you again for your work :good:

Hello, amazing thank you very much

Hmm... Wonder if I could write a OpenRecovery script that would allow you to pick one of these mods, flash it (and backup current settings), and set permissions...

Then, if someone was completely stock but with an unlocked bootloader (like me) you could boot twrp, flash the mod, and still be completely stock and not rooted, thus able to receive an OTA safely too.

Hmm...

Or I could be lazy and finally just root... Tired of those iBrats at work blowing away the volume of my MotoG3 on the speakers in the back of the house, on max with speakers on max it's sad compared to iPhone.
