Did u make sure your notification volume is all the way up? Cuz volume rocker controls only ringer volume.

yes every setting is all the way up.....even with the same music file playing notifications a very noticeably less loud the the general ringers

2 months later and still no solution???????

This works on my wife's LG Optimus: http://www.appbrain.com/app/louder-volume-hack-v4-1/com.AutoMod Not sure it will work on the Epic, but you could try!
What I do (free) is copy the notification I want to be louder to my pc then use Audacity (free) to amplify by 6db, then copy the file back to the phone. Works every time. Of course you have to be rooted to even access those files, just sayin.

Check out VIPERrom. Rodderik from Team Viper has cooked up a volume hack that should work with any DK28 rom.

I flashed this and it really screwed up phone. It factory reset my phone and when it started back up everything force closed before I could even log on to google. I had to redo the ext4 mod and wipe and reflash midnight rom. I would like to be able to use this. Is anyone running ext4 and flashed this successfully?

Some apps seem to not play nice with ext4. I've gone back to rfs until it's figured out.

viper rom volume hack worked like a charm....

[Q] [REQ] Louder notification volume

Is anyone able to get the notification volume up to what it was in DI18? Since EB13 came around they cut it down to where you can barely hear it and the ringer is obnoxiously loud. Being I text mostly having the louder notification volume would be ideal for me.
IIRC I think someone patched this up in DK28 but I haven't seen anything on it since.

Now make it work on EF02! lol
Yeah if you can make it work for EF02 it would be awesome.
has any one tried this on ef02? it may work fine...i haven't looked at the files but i'd say make a backup in cwm and flash it and let us know if it works...worst case is you have restore a backup no harm done
if it doesn't work then i will make one that works for ef02
well i just compared the stock files from ec05 to ef02 and they are indeed different so i'll have to make a new one for gingerbread...not going to have time to do it today but i'll churn one up soon

here are 2 versions i threw together real quick
my old epic is sitting in my truck center console right now unrooted so i cant test this tonight
one version is the way you have it and the second is the parts reversed
and a note on your sound, its probably too big
certain sound clips will play and certain ones will not. I have a feeling it is a hardware limitation somewhere as most of my boot animations i have made don't have sound for that reason alone...i could never get the sounds to play more than a few seconds lol

IIRC you can only get 7 seconds or so of sound to play during the boot animation, I have tried to get it to play longer but never had it work, so if your only getting 7 seconds of sound I'd say it's working unless someone knows better then I do but many attempts have left me making shorter sound files because I couldn't ever get more then that stupid seven seconds. I hope some one can prove this isn't the case...

Yup your right... any boot sound can't be real without bein super short or crappy quality(& I go for quality), I'm changing the sound as soon as I wake up, it's just too much, too long & too complex... I already have the new file I just got drunk & lazy so it will be available in the theme that will be released 2moro(late...2moro...)

Real Sound Improvement Superloud Volume

If you want to have louder volume Flash this zip. It was developed by Meltus SG3 Developer but it works on our phone. You can flash the zip or open the zip and place default.gain file to system/etc. and reboot afterwards to hear the difference it really works great with headphones. If you want to change the volume find 'AIF1 Boost volume' and change value from anything 1 to 63. You can edit the files yourself to the volume you want it to be but anything over 63 might break the sound so don't push it. I have mine on set to 60 with PowerAmp it's superloud and I love it LOUD!!!! More info go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136&page=1
Did everything you said and working great. Got it set at 60 also and loving it. Thanks

Does it matter which recovery you use? I use TWRP and it keeps giving me the flash failed error message. This is actually the first file I have tried flashing since I switched from CWM to TWRP. I can just place it in the system folder no problem. Just curious if this is a know issue with TWRP.
So I edited all the AIF1 Boost volumes to 55... it didn't seem to make a difference. Is 55 too low.? I sent it to the pc and edited it in text pad.. Then emailed it back to myself. Then I used root explorer to put it in system /etc.

Actually, I flashed this and there is NO difference in volume sound what-so-ever.
And ACTUALLY, I never found any sound "tweaks" that really worked, except
the app. Volume+ version 1.7.1. (Please remember the Version, as any version higher than that will NOT work).
So, if you REALLY want loud, LOUD sound, try Volume+ V1.7.1!!!!
And for the OP, please take the Volume+ v.1.7.1.apk and see why it is the only
one that REALLY makes a difference in volume LOUDNESS...
It seems that nobody can reproduce that performance yet....(Are you man enough for that challenge??)

[Q] In Call Volume low

Is anybody else noticing a drop in in-call volume since the 4.1.2 update? I have DSP manager installed on my OG from before the update and still call volume is ridiculously low. Any suggestions? Maybe uninstall and reinstall DSP manager first?

I took DSP Manager off my phone and went back to the stock sound setup. I'll let you know if it worked to cure the call volume problem. May be something we have to report to LG.

So I took DSP manager off and no dice. I'm wondering if I might HAVE to root it and put on a new ROM and maybe put Awesome Beats on the phone in order to get the results I want.
I think this is something that can be modified with the kernel. I remember on the galaxy nexus there were a few Franco nightlies he was testing that had in call volume issues. Some were too low some were crackely. If he was able to modify something within his kernel to effect call volume then I'm sure it can be tweaked to a higher volume.
