Yeah, there's a fair few extra edits in that one, it should work with the one from this thread though :)

I'm going to add in an option to push this file from the app in the next update.

I'd recommend setting the output volume to max (63), the Boost value to 0 and if that seem too high you can start reducing it until you find a good volume. If it's not loud enough for you then you can start increasing the Boost value until you find a good level!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Sad56:
I try this.

The boost Volume is amazing :eek:

I recommend to not increase this setting to much.

I try 30 and have a big surprise :p

My settings are now 60 for output and 5 for boost (for normal and Ringtone) and it seems good.

Anyway your mod is really impressive and with this app it's perfect. :thumbup:

Many thanks

Doesn't work with jelly bean leak from Samsung if anyone was wondering. It launches and reads everything ok, but if you change anything and press save app freezes.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
Most likely because the leak isn't rooted or doesn't have busybox. Probably due to one of those reasons :)

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
Thanks for the reports of it not working yet on Jelly Bean guys, I'll look into it tonight!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] majjkiie:
Nice, I actually went back to ICS just so I can use this awesome mod. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DashingGentleman:
It seems the app messes up the permissions of the file, at least on JB? I find the app works find the first time, but later crashes when picking the normal/ringer/phone selection. Checking the file, it has rw------- permissions. Changing them to rw-r--r-- allows the app to work again. The changes seem to apply fine when it doesn't force close.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I mean permissions of the default_gain.conf file.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jj92942000:
This morning I installed on a gs3 int. stock ics rooted, and modified a parameter no issues. This afternoon the app FC. Cleared data didn't help. I uninstalled reinstalled same thing. I restored backup from TB from when it was working still stopped working. I noticed that SuperSU doesn't have it on the list, yet log shows it was on this morning? Seems it's closing cause it doesn't recognize my root yet I restored with TB?

Ps - checked permissions seem fine, placed it as systems app still fc?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
You're right, that was the problem. On ICS just setting the system as R/W did the trick but not on JB. Sticking a chmod command in there fixed the FC though. An update will follow shortly! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
UPDATE

v1.0.2 released - Jelly Bean fix

Editing the file didn't have any effect on the JB build I'm running, not sure if that's down to the ROM or whether it just doesn't work on JB at all.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] valerio.tosti:
Not working here on latest lh8 jb rom
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jj92942000:
Installed 1.0.2 this time root been granted by SuperSU, but still FC, even flashed replacement file .. said done.???
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
Hmmm. Does your Stock ROM have busybox? If not, that could be the reason.

It's working fine for me on FoxHound 1.5.3 but the file's not having any effect. Not sure if this is ROM or JB related though.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jj92942000:
So I installed busybox, still FC???? Hope voodoo comes thru soon!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
That's strange, I've no idea why it's force closing then! Is there a download for the firmware you're running? I'll flash it and try see why it's force closing.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jj92942000:
Thx .. my rom is Samsung-Updates.com-GTI9300BVALF4_I9300OROALF2_ORO.zip, and rooted with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar. Strange that it worked in morning made changes to headphone vol from 50 to 55, didn't notice any difference, in evening wanted to up it and boom FC, nothing I did worked. did flash the default_gain.conf no problems, just when I press any of the other 3 choices on top, FC. Permissions OK, putting in system/app did nothing, still FC, uninstall reinstall, same FC, restore via TB from morning setup when it was working same FC.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
What's the log from the Force Close? It should tell you what's going wrong.

Also, I've managed to get the hack working properly on Jelly Bean! :D No idea what I did, but it seems to be working properly now.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DashingGentleman:
That's great to hear - I'm hoping it's reproducible though :P

Quick question. I want to use this to lower the max volume of headphones (while boosting speaker, because why not). Both my IEM and headphones can go unnecessarily loud. I would like highest volume to be lower to protect my eardrums and get a smoother volume control over the usable range. Does the mod affect the scaling over the entire volume range or does it only change the maximum levels?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
It effects the volume over the entire range. The default is (I think) 57 so you can just lower it to your desired value :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jnr21:
I always had manually edit values on default_gain.conf after rom flash, now it's way easier.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jj92942000:
I don't have a logcat cuz being stock and just rooted didn't anticipate issues yet. Ideas?

Microphone problem

I am on LH8 leaked JB. Works fine, everything but the microphone. People are telling me I sound "muffled" during regular calls,not so on viber calls. I have your default .conf values.

I guess what I need to know is what to lower (or raise) to correct the microphone issue. Thanks for a wonderful tool man.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jj92942000:
FIXED!!! Not sure what happened but default_gain.conf must've gotten corrupted, I replaced it, installed app and now working again. Going to test if vol. actually improves.

PS - Beautiful! YOU DA MAN!!!!! My videos now rock.

Hi @meltus.

I don't see any mention in this thread about bluetooth stereo a2dp Volume changes. Are those going to be implemented or are those volumes implemented with headphones by default (judging from the past they wouldn't and would be separate)?

I know in manual mod that you did some months back you upped the bt Volume to 60 as well, but just wondering if you plan to have separate setting for it here in the app.

Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] valerio.tosti:

We mostly use it for boosting headphone vol .. I wouldn't push speaker much beyond stock
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Faryds:
I have a problem.

If I modify the file manually, the app can read the new values.

But, if I try to update the values within the app, default_gain goes blank, and I have to copy the backup file manually.

Start over, download file open me 1st pg and paste into system/etc set permissions, reinstall GVM 1.0.2 ..

I have used GVM and I changed speaker output volume from 57 to 30 :S

and I cant return it to default values I don;tknow why !! after I replaced the default file and the sound became lower . . each time I try to open the app again I find it crashes :S

I tried to re*-root my device again but no thing happend according to this issue . .

so I tried to push the " default_gain.conf " file but I found this message " You cant paste this file as it read only file "

when I use root checker I found this results that I have root access but it seems su files doens't exist !! so please any help would be appreciated as my device's sound unbearable :S I know its my fault and it's a great app. . but I can't use it or push the file . . so what can I do ??

thanks

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Meltus:
From the first post:

You REALLY should know how to sort this out before trying to modify system files or problems like this will occur.

It sounds like you have root access but haven't mounted the system as R/W. Either do it in adb, a terminal or download a root-enabled file manager (e.g. Root Explorer) and remount the system from there.

Replace the file (either using the app or push the one in the first post) then manually set the permission of the file to "rw-r--r--". Then either do "killall mediaserver" in a terminal or adb shell or reboot your phone.

There are some errors with the permission setting using the app which I'm going to address in the next update.

Problem

After the first time applying the setting to 63 (for headphones and headset) , i cannot get it back to normal. I tried to paste the default_gain.config in system/etc . Everytime i try to re-open the app after applying any setting the app crashes and i have to paste the default_gain.config again so the app can start. After i get it to star the settings won't stick , the app shows that the value for headphones and headset is 50 but the volume didnt lower a bit. Hope you can help me. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eliashadow:
Mr. Meltus,

I have bought a Note II and i missing Volume modifier.

The default_gain.conf is similar.Do you think can you make it working in Note ii too?

Here is default_gain.conf from Note ii if you want to take a look.

Hello

I have been using your app,but i am not sure it is working. I checked the default_gain with root explorer,and the meodifed settings are in the file but i still think the volume is way low.

I did all volume to 63 and boost to 20,and although the volume has increased, it hasnt increased that much. I can still easily listen at highest volume,and still not have it loud enough.

Anything i can do?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PIRATA!:
Hi!

Does this work as the manual way explained in your main thread, so that using the app it's all a little more simply for us, or does the app methods use sine different editing?

Is the app capable to disable also sounds for camera and other sounds as possible intervening manually as explained in other thread??

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.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] T0xic4u:
I used this app on my S3 with JB DBT

On ICS it worked great, but on JB made first time the changes and after that I had FCs all the time.

Then I wanted to edit my default_gain.conf manually and noticed, that the conf had 0 byte and was empty.

I din't notice any sound changes after applying the hack, even when the default_gain.conf was empty.

So does the S3 still needs this file????

offeri cluthor

Hey,

1st of all thanks for a great app.

wanted to ask -

i'm using S3 I9300

4.1.2 JellyBean android version

i've downloaded your app

is it normal that i set the output volumes in the app, click "save and apply", go back, then again to changing the volumes

and the values remains the old ones? (50-57)

If not,

what am i doing wrong?

Thanks mate
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Vlad_M:
This happens when the file permissions go wonky. Fix the permissions (should be rw-r--r), restart the app, make the changes and tap save - should work then.

Edit: referring to the default_gain.conf file.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Vlad_M:
Yes, I get that, I was asking if there's a way to do similar on CM. My bad.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cadguy:
Found I was getting the same problem on 4.1.2

Solution:

In app hit "Replace 'default_gain.conf'"

Select "Flash & Make Backup"

(this should stop the app crashing. well it did for me)

Select Normal and change volume values as desired.

Select "Save and Apply"

Check audio for increased volume.

If no change use you favourite file explorer with root access

Navigate to /system/etc and open default_gain.conf' and check modified values are indeed there. Next check the file permissions are rw-r--r--, if not make them so.

Reboot phone (don't go back into the app and modify again as this seems to screw up the permissions)

Worked a treat for me.
