Quality or volume?

First off, thank you for your contribution. Second, you need to read the rules about posting. Seriously. There's a format for posting in dev forum. Please include details of the mod.

I notice no difference...

What's this do exactly?

"reboot and enjoy"... Enjoy what?

I will need specifics before i mess with something. What is this modifying?

Lol Its a volume booster mod actually. Increases heaphones or speaker volumes. Already a topic in themes & apps section.

Not really... i took a quick look and it seems the values for headphones are the same as the original file

And here I was hoping this was an eq/quality mod with viper or something...

Hello bro!
Is it a bit louder or you feel a good difference? Can you compare with htc loudness?
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app

I did it and the rx1 to rx8 values to be 94?

Only difference i hear is static when someone talks on phone calls.

if I'm not mistaken the in call volume is this:
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
I changed mine to 34, but do not head a difference

[ROOT][MOD] Xperia X Volume Boost for Stock Configuration v.1.2

What's bugging me about my brand new Xperia X? The overall low volume.
These simple tweaks, this mod if you may, simply modifies a few lines from the stock audio config files which, after a reboot make your speakers louder and headphones, a bit too loud (but I didn't hear anyone complaining about Xperias for being too loud lol)!
It's for rooted users only and for me it sounds a lot better than using (possibly) unstable sound mods instead of simply adjusting the volume on some pretty decent stock drivers.
It's been tested against 34.0.A.2.301 - but it should be backwards compatible..
UPDATE:
Stereo in-call Voice-Speaker now working;
It should be compatible with N - test it with a backup at hand - I'm on MM because of Xposed;
Stereo for Ringtone-speaker is WIP - feel free to jump in and help ;
Features:
Louder Stereo Speaker sound system wide;
Louder Headphone sound;
Stereo Voice-Speaker for calls;
WIP for Stereo Ringtone-speaker - I'm open to suggestions!
Customizable as you see fit! Just stick to the already explored options.
Conflict-free tweaks - no additional files added, no nothing, just some modified lines - you can trust it .
Installation:
By flashing the .zip with FLASHFIRE [press the red "+" button > Flash ZIP or OTA > leave the options as they are and Click on the "done arrow thingy".
Manually copying the file to /etc - DO NOT forget to set the right permissions (RW R R). Please take a look over the Permissions.png screenshot in case you don't know how to set them - you long click on the file, then go to properties and you'll see the permissions button.
Do it yourself - there's a guide down bellow.
Bugs: -None-
If you have ideas for this, PM me!
In the download section you'll find:
>>Flashable! already modified "Xperia X Getting Loud.zip" with: SPEAKER values - 85 for both RX7/RX8 and HEADPHONE values - 85 for RX1/RX2.
>>Flashable! Stock Values - it's the stock file unmodified.
>>NON-Flashable! zips - there you have 1 zip for the modified file and the stock one so you can place it manually via ES file explorer or the explorer of your choosing.
**And some screenshots that are pretty self explanatory showing you what modifications need to be made if you want to do it yourself.
DIY Guide (using ES File Explorer):
You're probably acquainted with ES File Explorer so it should be pretty simple. The modifications I made were done with ES (it has an built-in editor).
1. Make sure the Root Explorer toggle is On - it's located in the Tools tab as you swipe the left side of the screen;
2. Go to the root of the files where you'll see folders such as "data; dev; firmware; storage; system; etc" go to "etc" folder and scroll down till you see the mixer_paths files;
3. Open "mixer_paths_wcd9335" and at the prompt, select ES Note Editor - it's a huge file so tap right above the navigation bar! A bar with percentage should show up - it will help you navigate through the file;
4.1 Speakers - Get to 42% of the file where you should see the path for "wsa-speaker", ctrl name RX7 and RX8 with their stock values - modify the values as you please but please don't go over 86 - sound will be too distorted;
4.2 Headphones - Go to 53% of the file - you'll see "headphones-regulation" path - ctrl name RX1 and RX2 - modify the values but anything more than 85 might be too much.
4.3 New! Stereo Voice-Speaker - find the path for Voice-speaker as seen in screenshot and simply add some volume there - default is 0 - I'd advise to go lower on that speaker since the mic used for speaker calls is located near the earpiece - so values around 80-82 should be ideal.
5. Save and reboot. If you choose to modify the files on a PC make sure to set the permissions when you put the file back. Otherwise bootloops might occur.
***Internal players such as Music, Video, ringing and notification will try to compensate the sound so it might not be as loud as expected. But try a youtube video and you'll notice the difference.
***Do not attempt to modify something else unless you know what you're doing - on that note, make a backup first. In my first attempts I lost sound device wide with FC for sound effects apk.
***Do not go over the values I imputed (85 for speaker and 85 for headphone) - apart from the distortions that will occur because of the louder volume the internal DAC might not be able to reproduce the sound at such intensity - in my tests one of the speakers was shutting down. Again, no harm can come to your device but don't push it.
***I saw a lot of sections for hi-res headphones, Noise cancelling, etc - I did not explore those options because I don't have the means to test it. Any input and contributions from you guys are most welcome.
These files control the volume output for digital / analog which means it's a non-intrusive way to change volumes with no harm for the device. If volume limit exceeds the capacity of the speakers it will sound bad but there is no chance for physical damage.
I'm coming from a highly modded Xperia Z (that phone saw some torture) which made use of the earpiece speaker for stereo, and even if the speakers aren't designed for that output they are louder than the X which packs pretty decent speakers. This is the mod that gave me the idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/mod-stereomod-xz-v1-1-t2835995 @monivan

You're welcome but I just updated the files..... Speaker was just a bit too loud. I decreased the values a bit because a notification was distorting the speakers. Use the update if you feel like it's too much.

Good work!

Files should be different on your device. I no longer have the X, nor the X Compact, so this mod could not work.
Use the guide instead, it's pretty easy to make the modifications on your own. All you need is ES file explorer or something similar. Always keep a backup ready to flash.

Hello! Is it possible to enable stereo voise without increasing volume?

How to increase speaker in call and music (root)?

Is There a zip file to flash in twpr that change configuration of mixer file that increase speaker volume?
If isnt how i can increase It?

Your best bet is not to do that.
Raising the volume beyond what the manufacturer has implemented = busted speakers.
Xiaomi will have the volume set to exactly the maximum volume the speaker can handle because they want it to be loud to impress customers.
Use the mixers from the MIUI stable ROMs

Problem is with headphones

You can edit a file called mixer_paths_tasha.xml in vendor/etc/
Find
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="13" />
And change the value of both 2 lines to what u like but i recommend 1 or 2 increases i saw a tutorial setting it on 18 and that was too bad even on low volume it had noises so just stick with little increases i set mine to 14

Not really, as I don´t know how to edit that file and what I need for it. He gave a hint but its not really an instruction.

He gave you the location of the file and the exact lines you need to edit within the file.
Its an XML so it reads like a text document.
You need a root file explorer like mixplorer or solid explorer.
Navigate to the file. Open it and edit. Save. Reboot.
It really is that simple. A search on any search engine or XDA would likely get you access to information on how to open and edit files on android.
It does seem daunting but its really as simple as copy pasting text into documents. Just different file extensions than normal.
If youre rooted then backup and have a go. No harm.
If no root then suffer in silence

Increase headphone volume?

Hello,
The headphone volume is too low for my liking and used in ears. Is there any way to increase headphone output? Do we have to wait for custom Kernel?
Thanks

Root and modify mixer_paths.xml in vendor/etc/

What kind of modification do you have to do in this file?

I don't have a clue and it seems the ones who know won't tell us. This file is huge and has hundreds of parameters, no chance just by trying to change anything.
I've read that the Xiaomi EU Rom has increased headphone volume, we could compare the two variants of the mixer_paths.xml. But I don't know how to extract single files from a Rom Image

Why don't you try viper Fx?

You mean "ViPER4Android Audio Effects" ? That seems to be an outdated project not compatible with Oreo. No I´m not taking the risk and install a non supported MOD that seems to integrate deeply into the system...

I just copied the settings from the earpiece. So it's obviously not going to be loud. I have to wait for my phone to be repaired and flash a custom rom again. So I can do more testings. It was confirmed working by a friend of mine, I didn't conduct any testings in person, so I don't know how it sounds.

well, i can confirm it works fine on EvoX rom, sounds good

Thanks friend!
I'll be certainly flashing this ?

Too loud because the rom's default earpiece volume is 91. I had to manually decrease it to 85 in mixer_paths

dont spread wrong info please
dec1 volume is not related to earpiece volume,its related to mic reciever that how well it recieves audio from different distance
it is no way going to effect output audio
if u really want to increase earpiece volume
edit rx1 digital volume value upto 91(safe limit)
2)installing okk dosent mean its working
first check if the audio really coming from earpiece??

Thanks, works fine on latest Evo, good job :good:

How is it wrong information? DEC1 is related to earpiece volume and like i said, this is on Evolution X rom so i don't know if it differs from other roms, even the developer himself that I work with in testing is confirming this. Do some research before accusing people

Like I've said I didn't test it on my phone, so I don't want to blow anyone's earpiece. Now that I've installed PE CAF on mine, I could test it. However, I'm trying to get my module onto magisk-repo (aka the download page), but the moderators are so strict and rude. It'll take a while before I could update it. Thanks for understanding.

Just added the earpeice to play simultaneously, but it does sound somewhat stereo.

Doesn't work if AML is enabled.
