So, officially today, I hit the $200 border, I don't know If I say this enough, but thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for not only helping me see this through, but for believing in me, and the continuity of the project. As a whole, we as a community have come a long way, and so has this project. While I will always aim to improve the MOD with the help of the team, [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION], [MENTION=4756930]Alastor89[/MENTION] and lastly Loouis (who unfortunately has been really caught up with life), but lastly the community, for the appreciation of the work all these talented people mentioned above have helped me put together. Every bit donated will be used for the revival of the GNexus, and possibly break out a beer can at the end of all this.

To those who are unable to donate, it's the appreciation of the MOD & the team that counts :). Sometimes it's the little things that mean alot to keep us motivated to see the end result of it all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjyama:
Still rubbing it. :D. Can't get him to agree because he got it for 17k, and considers the case a bonus for the buyer :D. Fingers crossed :D.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
That's roughly around $340 so it's pretty insane. :/ it's fine if he doesn't wanna lower it, I'm about 70% towards the target quota for a new device. At this rate a new device might be alot cheaper. I just lack probably around $50 more or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjyama:
Yep, bought 9 months ago. And google ph doesnt sell nexus devices so its pretty hard to find one last year. Prices here are insane, nex4 when released was around $600 :D. I see, i guess buying a new one is better, goodluck then! Thanks for the awesome mod btw :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
I used PowerAmp, but it seems to skip a lot, so I used Noozy, but the built in EQ doesn't even work on it. Xenoamp doesn't really work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reefrunway:
Thank You!!!

Midledz,

I just dropped $20 into the fund. :victory:

Confirmation number: 8WU52224EV898934C

Your work on this mod truly improves my life on a daily basis... so I wanted to show my appreciation. I have a one-hour (each way) bus commute from Honolulu (to the boonies) everyday. Your mod makes my time with my Bose QC15's and my Gnex MUCH more delightful than with stock sound output. So, thank you, bruddah! :good::D

BTW, the the number 3 version (sorry, forget exactly what it's called) for JB 4.3 is working pretty well for me. Don't really notice a difference from the latest one that works with 4.2.

Thanks again! I'm sure your knowledge of this type of thing will make you some serious coin someday. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
Lucky :/ the builds make my audio sound worse than normal, I'm waiting for a stable build
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
lucky :(

how'd you do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reefrunway:
Here are my settings. Use them for my Bose headset... And Gnex speaker when I'm in the shower or washing my car. :) They sound great to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
None of those options change my sound :(.

I think I broke something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reefrunway:
Yeah, probably. If you have semi-decent headphones on and can't tell a difference with monitor size and EQ settings, something probably is amiss with your install...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
I think it's actually a ROM or kernel problem...

It does the same thing without the mod....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
That's weird... Same problem on CM 10.2...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
I have the same problem. Raising the eq causes the volume to go down. I'm on a stock rooted ROM with stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
same.

i tried switching to cm10.2, but still nothing :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Iv always found turning soft clipping on lowers overall volume, at least on headphone not so sure about the phone speaker. Noozy eq is pretty buggy at the best of times so I'd recommend clearing its data, uninstalling it, reboot then download again off the play store. Also don't forget to change your DSP manager in settings/sound/music fx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
I'll just go back to 4.1.2 for now, couldn't handle 4.2.2 at all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Hahah I look forward to that, who knows, my dad's quite the negative chum, and he figured this line of work wouldn't get me anywhere, and when I broke my GNexus all I got was negative feedback, but when the community backed me up on this it was a whole different story and well...he kinda ate his words there :victory:, that and my heartfelt gratitude for your kindness :)

on another off note, Have you heard of Honolulu by Last Dinosaurs? It's one of my favorite tracks and the intro is AMAZING

[Youtube]MinoVJfuAAs[/Youtube]

Build 2 was supposed to fix that, but I need to seriously rework it. Do me a favor and if you're rooted, delete SoundEnhancements.apk from system/app and tell me if that fixes your problem.

That's the thing! You missed the step in the OP! The op mentioned it had issues with PowerAMP, and we just hit the 4.3 bracket so expect PowerAMP to be one of those players that needs work on, as far as the API is concerned. Try Google Music/Apollo or something, I promise it will work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reefrunway:
My pleasure, bro! I'll check that track later... But speaking of HONOLULU and music.... I am out the door to see The Cure in concert tonight! :). Probably showing my age with that... But they are a great band!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
It made it better but not where it used to be
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Best i could do without a device so just hold on a bit more till I get one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
Its all good, no rush, I was like a slave to my music so hopefully this helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elishay503:
Sorry for the retard question but I didnt see any detail abot that.

Does this mod increase the volume of the speakers?

Or its just working on the quality?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cujo6801:
Increase the volume on the speakers and headphones

sent from the DOG pound
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
Using Google Play Music, turning bass on still gets rid of all bass lmao.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elishay503:
And how I do that (increasing the speakers volume?)

Where are the volume settings?

(Sorry for the newbie questions...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Well, try different settings in EIZO/Beats, like I said there's alot of stuff that needs to be worked on, 4.3 just came out this week, 2 days later there are 3 releases for the MOD, it doesn't work like magic, you need to be patient and alot of things need to be reworked. Be glad there's a solution than sitting and moaning of not being able to hear your phone go off. the MOD is supposed to be a Volume fix + Audio Experience. Ive done both, just haven't refined it yet, and ATM unless I get a new device/solution there won't be any updates, Infact I've thrown up a changelog in the OP but I haven't fully reviewed everything.

Also, you're not supposed to enable Clipping/Monitor Size, doing so removes all the bass. It's basically an AVLS, Just a little more patience man.

It's a preset value, you can't change it. If you haven't noticed it when flashing, then bro you need a physical checkup with your ears lol, and I mean that in the kindest way possible.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION]

Suppose if i want to use the 4.3 louder mod on my Nexus 4 do i need to modify anything or just flash it directly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
There isn't one available for the Nexus 4, atleast as of yet. I had some issues regarding the file system. By default were using Jw6 for stock but the aosp official google release is JSS15J so it's been a headache as they can't cross boot with each others file. Also you're in the wrong section, this is Gnexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priyam1309:
Stuck at Bootloop

Flashed NexusLouderV8B1-TestBuild#3.zip and got stuck at "Starting Apps" for over 30 mins. Restarted and stuck at Bootloop (X). in the excitement of get XLouder, I forgot to take a Nandroid Backup or a Revert.Zip. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Have you read the changelog? It's for 4.3 only and it's purely for stock & AOSP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallMeAldy:
I am aware that i am in the GNexus section......I just wanted to know if it would be possible to use this on N4 with slight modding or something :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Well its not that easy lol that's why I have an N4 section for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Hey [MENTION=4118822]Misledz[/MENTION]! Like many in here, I wanna thank you for everything you're doing for the Android community with your mod. I can honestly say that music really doesn't sound good without the mod, and I appreciate what you've done so far for 4.3, even with the limited hardware situation. Your skills are exceptional!

I've been using the v8b1 now since it came out, and would like to report a bug for build #1 & #3. Not sure if it's limited to my device only cos I haven't seen anyone else with this particular issue. I'm on Muzzy's aosp, stock ROM and kernel, and those two builds will sometimes stutter when I play music through Google Play music. After I revert, everything works/sounds properly. Has anyone else had this issue, or is it just me? [MENTION=1143630]osmosis[/MENTION] Is there a way that I can capture a log while playing music so you could see what's going on? Thx in advance for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
My favorite is still aLogcat.

After install you just need to enter in Terminal Emulator: su -c 'pm grant org.jtb.alogcat android.permission.READ_LOGS'

Clear the buffer before you play music and then do so and save a log. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Now that the boss has replied on how to get logcats just send one over and I'll see what's causing the issue. I based it off pure stock so expect that there will be issues, including those related to dsp. Perhaps I missed something D:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] priyam1309:
Yes I am on 4.3 with stock ROM... Used Revert and thankfully I was able to reboot but now there's no sound what so ever. Looks like I will have to flash Stock Rom once again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Thx gentlemen! I'll get right on it and send them over asap.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
I'm not really complaining, I just notice that for some people it works. Just trying to figure out what I could've possibly done wrong.

I didn't enable clipping.

For now, Poweramp sounds pretty good. it's definitely a headphone shaker now, you just gotta max out all the bass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:
I miss setting for very high frequencies because they are a bit too quiet on my new headphones. Any ideas how to increase them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsruggles:
I'm running Shiny OTA 4.3 Rom and it seems to work great! I am looking for some information on using the proper selections from the settings menu. I don't use any third party music players. What is the recommended setting?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
There are some in the first three posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
man you know what? This mod sounds GREAT on my earbuds. I was using my big headphones that require a lot more power and didn't even think to use my earbuds.

It's all good now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Wow, it's only been a few days and we're already touching the 1000 downloads for the pre-beta release. While this is good, this is also bad in it's own way. And I mean this in the most delicate way possible. XDA isn't the only place I keep the XLouder MOD on, infact it's been mirrored so many times I tend to lose track of where it's been linked to. Earlier today at work in our briefing we got briefed about how developer support is at it's worst, infact I came across this topic on XDA news not too long ago. About how we have it at it's worst. It's the only job where we do something for free, take the least appreciation or as it comes, and watch as people who don't appreciate it whine over something given for free, and I say this on behalf of every developer I've known well so far.

Hindsight is something we all can't seem to predict, and I'm a guilty victim of it, while I am super grateful to the backers who helped me in my time of need and who support this MOD, I will never forget your kind deeds and I would express it off in more ways than just "Thank you", I am also a bit heartbroken over the fact that only a handful come to appreciate what developers do, or how their work benefits or change the way people interact with their devices, how they could support them, and in a way I can understand now why Loouis left XDA. Call me prideful but I don't have what it takes to "ask" people to pay for this MOD, but if I pulled a faux or franco stunt with a buckload of apps in the market (No offence meant to those great minds), I probably would have had the device replaced ASAP without having it look like I'm begging people for this project to stay alive-- while my device isn't, and paid off [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] for all the script coding he's done with a % per payment.

And so until something can be done about the device, with a heavy heart-- I'm having this thread locked, device taken off my signature, and removing all 4.3 test builds till I fix it and get it properly tested when the device comes so it isn't some half baked work which I am not proud of.

While some of the people here who I respect tell me me to make an app, I am only a Uni student with a year left to go, Thesis and everything get's the best of me and at my current state, I do not have the time to do both the app and the MOD iterations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Glad you got it fixed bro :) :good: Enjoy the goodness!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
And so begins the hiatus of a legendary mod.

This mod is like 75% of the reason I haven't gotten a new phone.

Thanks for the mod, man. Hopefully you'll be back soon.

Going to have to stay at earlier Android versions just for this mod lol

OK might also be a dumb question...the Dolby apk is all in a different language ... Do I need to use it? I usually use the noozioxidizer eq.. Just wondering if I need to keep the apk or even need to use it...like will it affect my sound

This is a sound mod. Ofcourse everything included was meant to affect your sound... ^_^

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goast:
What I meant is coming from 4.2.2 to 4.3 I've noticed sound is lower and I'm trying to get it louder.. I'm using a kernel that supports high performance and headphone volume boost, when I enable high performance the volume is quieter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Because high performance is still buggy on 4.3, it's only been a week and everyone expects it to work like a charm.

I don't use high performance audio either, just the volume boost..

OK when I first used the I always prefer nooz over awesome so I would delete that..then I'd setup nooz how I like it then using trickster I tried high performance sound which made it softer I then disabled it and just used the headphones volume boost

Do the new test versions support 4.2.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Again, reading the OP Is crucial.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deniros:
hi abezzilla99, i went ahead and followed Misledz's advice for you. This is what i did:

Go to page 1 in this thread

Look at OP

Read from the top down

Find the 4.3 download section

This was my first clue, but just to make sure i did a little more digging around just in case.

This was what i found: NexusLouderV8B1 4.3 only (hiding just 1 line below the big banner that says 4.3 downloads)

However, i didn't stop here. Relentlessly i carried on to read through the next 2 OP by Mizleds.

Minutes later, in the 3rd post, I came across a section called: 4.2.x downloads here there were no v8 test builds.

It all looked so simple in the end, I was amazed by how clearly the 2 different sections were presented, lashings of information throughout.

abezzilla99, i recommend you go over there for yourself mate and take a look, Page 1 Post 1. Its like a different world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thelegbra:
