Does it work for someone and does this work with the CM12 ROM's?

 

[kornelius1982]

Doesn`t work on CM12 and had to restore backup. Useless thread. Using still Viper4Android.

 

[Revolted5]

Thanks, I'm going to try that then

OMG, you were not joking, Viper4Android f**king rocks, I didn't know my phone was capable of such high quality audio even at an higher output (headphones), thank you so much for the suggestion

Can we do something to use it on lollipop?

You can use this diff on CM (/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml). The example below lowers from 84db(?) to 72.

--- mixer_paths-84.xml
+++ mixer_paths.xml
@@ -544,7 +544,7 @@
 
 	<path name="speaker">
 		<path name="spk" />
-		<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="84" />
+		<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="72" />
 		<ctl name="SPK DRV Volume" value="7" />
 		<ctl name="COMP0 Switch" value="1" />
 	</path>

Optionally, a companion init.d script to patch the latest version after rom update.

#!/system/bin/sh
# Patching mixer_paths.xml (changing volume)
if [ ! -e /system/etc/.mixer_paths.xml_is_patched ]; then
	mount -o remount,rw /system
        cd /system/etc
	patch mixer_paths.xml < /data/local/bin/mixer_paths.patch
	if [ $? == 0 ]; then
		touch .mixer_paths.xml_is_patched
	else
		touch .mixer_paths.xml_is_patched
		touch .mixer_paths.xml_patching_error
	fi
        mount -o remount,ro /system
