Hi all, wondered how i can just have the music louder and want the notifications, ringtone in stock level

I don't mind editing the file myself but just wanted to know which one to change thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
find:

Modifier "Normal" {

Supported Device {

"Headphone"

change volume from 50 to whatever you desire ;) 62 is what i use
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Meltus:
That one will increase the headphone level. Don't forget to do the same for "Normal", "Speaker" for ringtones, etc. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D79_:
Cheers buddy. I won't have the headphone level to loud has it just distorts Ay. Prob raise it to 60

Edit: I've changed what I was told to change and nothing is happening :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Meltus:
You have to kill the mediaserver afterwards for it to apply. Follow the guide in the first post.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D79_:
But if I push ur volume hack from the first post and then restart my phone it works without killing the mediaserver :/

Edit: it says this in terminal...

u0_a99@android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

u0_a99@android:/ $ killall mediaserver

killall: can't kill pid 1899: Operation not permitted

1|u0_a99@android:/ $

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Meltus:
Restarting your phone also kills the mediaserver, it just takes longer.

You have to do killall mesiaserver in a root shell (type "su" and press enter first).

I'm not 100% sure about the headphone and Bluetooth sections; sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Not entirely sure why.

Can't change headset or headphone output on jb ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bscotth:

I m using this volume hack in omega, revolution and others jb custom Rom and everything is ok.

I don't know about flashable zip cause i always replaced the files in /system/etc before install the Rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
What about headphone volume there must be another way to make it louder simply changing the values using the app or manually doesn't cut it on jb
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bazzazz:
Works great
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
Yea for ics Sammy must of changed something in the system files for the headphone output we can't change it now
[Galaxy S III Android Development] break1:
Hi,

Since i flashed this mod i get horrible call quality. I cant understand people. They cant understand me either...

Is there a way to fix that? Maybe disable volume boost for calls? Can someone please make a flashable zip or explain me how to do it manually?

Would be much appreciated!

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
Download the file from op and push it through root explorer

I been flashed the mod and is working very good!, I use a equalizer frecuency bands always under 0 db, the sound will be much better! ....many thanks to the developer! :)

Yup works flawlessly
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Meltus:
Yep, it's working fine for me at least.

You may have to reboot your phone instead of killing the mediaserver (doesn't seem to work on JB for some reason) but it's definitely working for me (on Android Revolution HD).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] richardlibeau:
Got guys on sgs2 thread checking this out with all credit to Meltus . Great work been using your hacks for awhile now on different phones. Thanks for all your work it's definitely appreciated.

How to disable Volume Up/Down System beep?

Before I install this and blow out my eardrums (i have IEMs)...

Is there a way to totally turn off the System Volume UP/DOWN beep that you hear, when you press the Volume UP/DOWN button?

I already had a very painful experience using the Voodoo Sound at level 61 with IEMs while pressing the Volume UP button and hearing a very loud BEEEP! straight into my ear.

Thanks for this amazing hack mate. All the credits to you. No words enough to thank you. I am serious here -.

My question is, I have got a new S3 with stock ROM but i will flash a custom ROM with 4.1.1. My intention is only to increase my headphone's speaker volume but I am using with it a headset (headset for handsfree talk and jump to next song etc...) For this purposes in 4.1.1 I believe I need to apply below steps right?

- find default_vol.conf in system/etc using root explorer and set permissions 644 with Terminal

- Adjust "Headphone"

- Adjust also "Headset Out"

Am I wrong? Or missing a point?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] slashnburn:
OK I`ve just learned about permissions, and can happily set to rw-r--r--, but what is 644?

:D:D In anticipation of being ridiculed:D:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
It's the same: 4 is read, 2 is write, 1 is executable. So 6 = 4 + 2 so read and write, and so on...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
Hello all, sorry for a newbie question here but How can I edit my system files permissions so that I can replace default_gain file. Now it's giving me error message below. My phone is rooted of course ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dcharleyultra:
Click "Mount R/W" in the upper right of your screenshot.

Make changes.

Finally, click "Mount R/O".

[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
@dcharleyultra, thank you, I have done it.

I am using a custom 4.1.1 ROM and installed this amazing hack mode via CWM and after I restarted my phone I directly plugged my earphone and wohoooo, this hack is amazing and that's what all Galaxy S3 users need. After I came from iPhone I was shocked at first to notice that incredible low volume but now everything is perfect.

Many many thanks @Meltus, you are a life saver.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Krep3:
Can someone help me out with this question please, I just tried the mod and some sounds are just too much.

I would love a guide of wich parts to edit for different things.

hi guys i've an S3 with the stock 4.1.1 rooted, i've pushed both the files in system/etc and i've pushed the "killall mediaserver" command everytime...the files are effectivelly on the root of the phone but i'm afraid they aren't working. my question is:

is there something i've to edit to make them work or they should work as they are?

thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
Read before you post.... I've posted the answer numerous times. And again set permissions to the default_gain.conf to 644 than reboot

Anyone applied this hack (via CWM or manuall) tried AC!D Audio Technology in this thread?

Do they interfere each other, I do not think. But I just wanted to make sure before flashing ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] habylab:
I would like to know this too, I have a feeling it is BS though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
Today I flashed AC!D Audio Technology and nothing scary. You can try it. It is not something like duplicate sound enhancement. Seperate subjects. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
Any of those "audio" mods are rubbish apart from this one and the Siyah implementations
[Galaxy S III Android Development] habylab:
It is very good I'd say.

Flashable zip versions with camera sound on?

I'd like to have a volume increase with both the boot sound on and the camera sound on if possible? I don't know how to do it myself.

If you can help, I'd be grateful. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
1) Download 60_sound_mod_update.zip file in this post

2) Put the zip file into your external SD card somewhere.

3) Flash it with CWM and that's all.

I am sure it will satisfy you from volume strength perspective.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] s1mon87:
Thanks, I know that already but it turns off the camera sound and the touch sounds and these are actually some features I find useful and want to keep.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Krep3:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
Did you flash 60_sound_mod_update.zip or 63_sound_mod_update.zip?

If you flashed 63_mod, I think you need to reflash 60_mod.

Enviado de meu GT-I9300 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] henrybravo:
Slim and CM10 are AOSP based ROMs. This mod only works on Samsung based ROMs (even though it doesn't state this in the OP). Samsung ROMs use values in a file named default_gain.conf located in /system/etc to control the overall volume gain of all the various outputs. AOSP ROMs don't employ this method and therefore this mod will have no effect.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tsunamijhoe:
Also doesnt work on the nordic version of jellybean. Neither the app nor the manual edit/copy of the default_gain.conf file works,the file keeps disappearing,and with it,all settings made.

On a side note,triangleaway also dont work,as it keeps having a custom count of 1 regardless of how many times you clear the counter..

I am going back to 4.0.4 ice as i dont like jb,and i really need the volume boost,otherwise i cant hear a damn thing :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Hi!

Do you say it's better to use you app our just to do this the manual way???

Is the use of this app/mod compatible in conjunction with modified kernels that has build in Voodoo Sound Technology port, our is this useless as they have their own volume hacks???

Thank your very much.

Hi

How can I restore the original sound ?

( am running LKC )
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cesarleeds:
I´m about to use this solution, however i don´t feel like setting the sound at 63 for all the different options, i want it, let´s say at 60.

Can i modify with Notepad the default_gain.conf file, setting 60 where it reads 63 and put it in the directory u told us to?

Would it work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BlackMonkey:
write down the permissions of the original file, copy it to your pc, and edit with notepad++ NOT with the notepad from windows. the best will be a text editor under linux. Copy it back and set the permissions. I didn't tried this but it should work. I personally edited the speaker tag with root explorer on the phone because i have a vodafone rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chuckd610:
Has anyone tried this hack on the AT&T SGS3? The reason I'm asking is because there's no 'default_gain.conf' file in this model. If I add the file to system/etc, would it have any effect on the volume? Thanks!....sure hope I can use it.

Hello,

Weird. It worked when I was on Android 4.0.4, but now that I've updated to 4.1.2, no matter what I try, the volume doesn't get boosted. I didn't change any values myself, I just copied the default_gain file to system/etc, and with a text editor I confirmed the file was actually changed after a reboot. But no gain in volume tho.

Any thoughts?

Oh by the way: I'm on the stock rom, only rooted.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] omek07:
Check for permition on default gain file

Check it with root explorer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Spir4:
I did, I swapped the file with read/write permission. Like I said, the file gets changed, even after a reboot the modified version is there, but no change in the volume.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] henrybravo:
Starting with LLA, this hack doesn't work anymore. I've tried 2 LLA ROMs, and they seem to ignore the values in default_gain.conf. LL5 and previous 4.1.2 ROMs, this hack worked. I'm now using one of the several custom kernels with adjustable volume boost.

Omega has its own volume loudness mod in Omega Files (called "Loud Volume Hack"), have you tried that? Works for me on v39 as well as the new v40. It is based on the mod in this thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Inpain:
Omega uses the same .conf file this MOD uses.

& it is only loud in certain areas, minus the Ringing volume, which is the thing i need the most.

Anyways, i solved the problem by pulling the zip file to my pc and editing the values i needed in the file.
