NexusLouder V3B4

Finally the moment most of you have been waiting for, after long hours and cherry picking codes from older builds I've come up with this

- AOKP derived libs, this works on AOSP/Stock too I assure you

- During the 4.2 update backward compatibility was lost regarding to a giant drop in lib comaptibility, I'll be happy to announce they're back and working as they should

- Loudness is now increased from 7 to 15%

- Updated code on Revert/Installer script (Thanks Osm0sis)

- Updated soundfx libs, hopefully this should fix previous issues.

- Minor bugfixes

- Removed Volume.db, while this is not required anymore I've included the boost in the hw libs. This makes sure that your Music apps don't conflict and you're able to lower the volume on bluetooth normally.

-

-libacdbmapper.so
-libaudcal.so
-libaudioeq.so
-libaudio_init.so
-libbeatsbass.so
-libbeatscorehtc.so
-libbundlewrapper.so
-libDolby-dsp.so
-libreverbwrapper.so
-libsrscorehtc.so
-libsrsfx.so
-libsrsprocessing.so
-libSR_AudioIn.so
-libswiqisettinghelper.so
-libvisualizer.so
-libvoAudioFR.so
-libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so

Note: Due to a little tweaking here and there, the battery drain should be less, but it only makes sense that the louder you go the more the drain.

Will it work on miui v5 ?

Edit : yes, it works ;) (full distrotion at EIZO) (@beats its ok)

I've tested it with Psychoacoustic on and full volume and there is no more overbass. It actually plays better like the GNexus V5 if anyone remembers. Can anyone test with the paid version of PowerAMP?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
You need to reconfigure EIZO, don't set everything at max as I've changed alot of things with the audio conf so you need to set it at low/mid at most. Also distortion could be based on your headphones unable to output the bass, You need to take that into consideration. What headphones are you on?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Svid:
If coming from older version of the MOD, i can install it on the version of i need to reinstall my entire ROM?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Just flash the revert of the version you used then flash the new one. Same follows with the upgrade pattern
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bustem:
Doesnt work for me in Poweramp, it never did. Am I doing something wrong?:rolleyes:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Meh, was never supposed to then. I tried anyways. You have to enable MusicFX in app settings and disable DVC
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] BRKotucs:
Thanks for the update! Much appreciated....
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Vladivid:
Each time everything is better and better... Fantastic sound! Thanks for updating! :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Thanks for the continuous support broski!

Got better? :P
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Vladivid:
Really better! :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Globespy:
I'm surprised you could actually hear any audio when making phone calls with your setup?

The latest official JB stock builds do not Spir support the older .33 radio. You need .48 to hear audio on phone calls.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gravitysandwich:
Thank you misledz for this mod and the update. Sounds awesome!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hello247:
First time user to this mod. Thank you sir for this incredible audio patch. Sounds amazing :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Globespy:
Getting same issues when accessing sound >music effects.

Mmuzzy stock 4.2.2 with latest faux kernel.

Must admit had these before on earlier builds and had to flash my nandroid backup to resolve.

Seems latest build still hasn't resolved this issue?

Additionally, there is no perceptible difference in sound volume or quality when choosing between stock FX, beats or eizo.

I'm using fauxsound app and PlayerPro with PlayerPro DSP equalizer. Etymotic headphones that cost more than the phone, so I can hear every subtle nuance in the music I listen to. I actually use these headphones as studio reference phones when producing music, they reproduce everything beautifully as it was meant to be heard.

This was the same in earlier builds off eizo and faux kernel, so perhaps it's not compatible with faux or there's a bunch of placebo FX going on.

Clearly it works for some people, but not for me.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] reaper000:
Just wanted to add that this mod works perfectly well with the .27 prerelease radio. The radio is the only part that I've "downgraded" because it seems to get better reception (could be placebo) than .48 and has no issues unlike .33

Sent from the War Room in Toronto
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] geant90:
I was surprised as well. I followed a tutorial to return everything to latest stock. I was using the latest radio extracted from within the JDQ39 package, I then felt like giving LTE a shot so i flashed down to .33 Everything was working same before and after flash. This was also without franco.kernel. All sound was plenty loud: even for NYC street noise. I flashed franco kernel I am getting amazing sound using around the ear headphones after tweaking sound. I thought maybe it could get even better so why not give Nexus Louder a Try. So what do you guys recommend I flash V2B7 or V3B4?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Yadro:
Thanks for the update mate :thumbup:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] geant90:
What issues does .33 have?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I would like to know too. If 33 is as good as they say I might go back just for the LTE. I've never gotten to experience it and the only time I managed to get a phone that ever supported it. Google becomes an arse and patches it. Soab.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TheGeekHanaz:
It really depends on your area... But a lot of people can't really explain the reason why its just some radios work better with different phones I find the .54 to work best... I wish I had LTE in boston
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] geant90:
That is what I was going to say. Some people have different outcomes with different radios. There is no known difference between the radios other than what happen after .33 and we all know what this is. :( Some people claim better signal, battery life or even data speeds. I cannot explain why but with .33 radio I have not had any of the no audio issues so I did not have to edit anything on the log.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigmase521:
+1 on .27, although I recently flashed .54, and reception is just add good if not better for me. Only downside is no LTE, so .27 is what I'll use for that.

Thanks for the update Misledz, sounding great and I think volume is back (need more testing)!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Globespy:
So you are not using the latest official JB build (JDQ39E), maybe that's why you can still use the older radios.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

How is battery life when using LTE? I've heard negative results.

I'm getting 19.5MB on .48 radio, which is not that far from the LTE speeds folks have reported, so why bother upgrading if my phone battery turns to crap again?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] geant90:
It is Factory Image 4.2.2 JDQ39 from Google from Google developers website.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bigmase521:
It definitely eats battery if you're on LTE all day, at least from my experience. HSPA in my area is really fast, so after the initial joy of getting LTE, I now usually stay on HSPA and fire up LTE if I need more speed.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Surgik:
I apologize as I've just flashed this for the first time. I've looked through the OP and used the search function, and I know how damn annoying it is with probably constantly repeated questions but I was curious as to how to increase the volume of notifications. Sorry, again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Flashing it makes it louder as it is. If you want it a bit more, just configure eizo build in. Gaming VSUR should suffice

Edit. Also I'm flashing. 54 right now.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] superbobup:
LTE isn't just about the raw DL/UL speeds. It also has much lower/consistent ping. Pages, twitter, g+, etc load faster on LTE for me. Also, many people have been reporting BETTER battery with it.

That said, LTE breaks cell location (for me and most people...there was one person who got it to work but I still don't know how or why it works for him only). So, it takes forever to lock GPS and things like Google Now don't work.

Not to mention it didn't play well with my rotation sensor when I was using it (because of the older radio)

Really though, if you can happily use your phone with those issues then there's really no reason to not be on LTE. You should tty it misledz, it takes like 10-15 mins to set up :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I'd say less than 5 lol. I already downloaded the radio, both actually 54 and 27 and I'm thinking of going with 27 and seeing if I get audio and such.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] superbobup:
I think it only works with 27 and 33. If you're on T-Mobile, you just change a few lines in a one of the sound files...don't remember which exactly, but there's a guide on XDA. Oh, and you have to use the mod if you're on 27 or 33 to get audio, even if you aren't using LTE.

Good luck :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dan1234567890:
Sorry if this has been answered, I think I read almost all the posts in the thread, but couldn't find the answer... Why in the zip we have 2 equaliser apps, awesome beats and ezio? If I understand, everybody talks about how to setup ezio and choose it in music effects in settings, which means that that is the one that is recommended, but why do we have awesome beats than? I'm just curious that I'm not missing something...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
It was just user integrity. Some like beats and some like eizo. Rather than force them, I merged them with a common lib source.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I wish I had some massive data plan. Infact I'm not in the US of A so I can't really enjoy pure LTE but oh well. I really wanted to try it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bennyreyes715:
Did some extensive testing, full wiping my rom and starting from scratch (very time consuming). My preference v3B2 > v3B4 > v3B3

The new update v3B4 definitely louder with equal clarity as v3B3. But I'm into heavy bass oriented music and v3B2 to me is still unmatched when it comes to that. I still love your mod and couldn't live without it Misledz, thanks for all your work!:good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jarjar124:
Thanks for the update. It only gets better for the mako.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fairyshacker:
Its without any headphones / earphones, while playing music in phone. But no issue with beats.

used stock EIZO settings.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Well that's why. The loudness by eizo there are some range of db that can't be outputted by the speaker hence it just outputs it as distortion, since it's just a regular audio chip (nothing fancy like a ac97 or creative) but on a good pair of headphones you won't get that distortion.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
Not that I ever use I was just doing some testing and can't get awesome beats to work. Even when selected in music effects eizo still controls sound. .54 radio and...

Carbonized and francofied N4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TheGeekHanaz:
Dre beat headphones suck... This mod never works for me it always sounds muffled... I need new plones any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fairyshacker:
Ohh k.

Meantime, Its Killer on my ATH-M50 ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Depends on the rom bro. You could always temporary freeze eizo and that would make beats the default. The problem is on aokp it asks you to choose when you select an eq (it doesn't have a MusicFX option like stock and aosp do)

The latest one should have fixed that. Just don't put everything on max and that will cure the problem. Also as mentioned previously ATH 550 or ATH M50 would be the best get.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] stonesnake:
Sounds like the radio version issue. Check your baseband version. Might need to flash the 48 or 54 radio.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Enadril:
Which version? :)

Hello, just wanted to ask if this mod has anything to do with the Noozxoide app in GooglePlay. If not then which version should i download and flash on my Nexus 4 with PAndroid ROM 3.1 and francokernel? Will the sound improvement be better with this mod then the GooglePlay app? My first post on XDA so pardon me guys :).:good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysac:
I have versus 48 actually

I think that the point is that without mod it was working with 48 radio now after revert it doesn't

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] stonesnake:
Understood. In that case my thought would be, what is being stripped by the revert that phone calls need? We know the symptoms of the old radio. I would try flashing the radio again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Just dirty flash the ROM you're using, if you're using stock then bigxie. The revert restores back what was changed but on stock the system has gotten used to the new libs hence that could cause issues. I'm just guessing.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysac:
Dirty flash made the trick thanks guys!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Anytime man :) dirty flashing isn't highly recommend on different roms but on the same rom it's safe.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Anytime1157:
Hi there! So far the new update has been amazing, loving it so far! :D

I'm just curious to what the soft clipping actually does, should it be enabled?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
It's buggy in 4.2 since alot of stuff remained unoptimizied by Google :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Anytime1157:
Ahh I see. Well even without that the audio quality is already superb! Thanks man! :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gravitysandwich:
The noozxoide app in the zip is the same as the one in the play store. Flash v3b4 from the op with cwm or twrp and it will install noozxoide. Noozxoide is just an eq. So is awesome beats(this to, is included in the mod). For beginners I would work with awesome beats. And yes this mod actually improves sound quality and boosts volume. Like it changes system files to actually boost the volume and quality. And since your on Franco kernel I would buy his app and check out some gain and volume boosts. Some settings I like to use with this mod are:

volume:2 gain:-7

Or

Volume:4 gain:-4

Trying to explain this to you since you are a new user and I don't want you to get a wrong idea and f' up or something.

Edit: For recommended eizo noozxoide settings look at page 176 for misledz settings. There pretty good to start with.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] noobdroid_90:
This mod is really great.

I'm a bit of an audiophile and this really makes for a great listening experience :D Thanks a lot
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] relaxable:
Misledz - thanks for your work, I appreciate it, but I don't totally understand it....

On my N4 - installed the latest, and as usual, it is highly unpredictable --- from highly distorted audio (on bluetooth and headphones), to a nice enhancement, to no effect at all.

I'm running PA 3.60 ROM here with Franco Nightly -

just tried playing some music to Speaker with Google Play. Awesome Beats = zero effect on audio on any of the tabs. Noozie on Built-in Audio Monitor does change the audio (however, I can't for hte life of me ever see the EQ graph unless and only unless I'm in a dark room, then go to my display brightness and turn it to max and then I can just barely see that god-awful blue line against black background. It is impossible to see any other way for my old eyes, and I've even asked a younger person to take a look/same thing).

I have similar intermittent works/doesn't work to change audio with bluetooth or headphones - sometimes Awesome beats changes it, sometimes it doesn't. I've never gotten any of these mods to affect CALL volume - and I often have trouble hearing calls. Only affect media volume. And weirdest of all is when I'm playing Bluetooth, but audio output is affected by Speaker tab on Awesome beats, and no other tab does anything. When this happens, I can usually reboot phone and bluetooth tab becomes the one to change audio.

I also don't understand Franco Kernel's audio settings - it has 2 items for the N4 - headphone boost - which I do understand and which does actually change the headphone/line out; and "headset"gain - I guess many developers don't have English as first language cause I'm not sure what the difference is between "headset" and "headphone", but as far as I can tell, headset gain does absolutely nothing to any audio anywhere - in call/media, speaker, headphone, bluetooth....

My 2nd phone the GNex - which I use sometimes driving since it has proper car mount - well, the mod has been fantastic cause until I put the mod on it, I couldn't hear a word of the navigation instructions --- now, the speaker is plenty loud (albeit distorted on some things).

Thnx -

I just wish there was better documentation on all fronts of Android. Some people would actually read it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hello247:
Would you need to flash revert zip before upgrading your rom? Or can you just flash your rom upgrade then after flash the patch again. I'm guessing the latter as system gets wiped when upgrading rom.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
You care correct. No revert needed, after new ROM reflash the mod.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gado45:
Hey misledz if I flash other EQ like clear audio+ would it work along with your mod? You should check that eq is really nice and simple.. Found on acid audio mod 7 post as a add-on flash zip
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I wouldn't recommend stacking audio mods as in the future you may not be able to identify which is the cause for concern. Not all audio mods create a revert like our team does so reverting using ours would probably remove the other mods too. Was just a safety net we had included to make sure nothing goes wrong with the revert when used on stock (OTA doesn't work with modified files)

But I'm sure the combination will work. I'm just not sure if it will sound better or worse

Does this audio beats make it sound as good as the HTC one?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
I think that's really pushing the limit. You can't compare hardware like it's nothing. But the emulated version should sound just as good.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] anwedr:
Anyone on V3B4 can confirm their left earphone is louder than the right?

I've tested all my music with 2 different earphones and both of the left earpiece is louder than the right.

This also happens on two different roms I've tested today.

I plugged those two earphones to my Nokia and I do not have that problem.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] matesc:
I have the same problem, but I HEAR weaker on the left ear ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
Must be ROM related, in some cases if you don't flash the MOD after the ROM then it tends to cause something similar as the MOD get's replaced

Do you use a kernel volume boost. I found this happened with franko when the volume boost was activated at 4.

The thought of it being kernel related never crossed my mind.

I have Headphone boost +2, and Headset gain at -7 for the past nightlies and currently on r155. I'll go back to M2 to see if solves anything.

Could be the encoding of the mp3.

I tried previous kernel versions, tried nooxide and awesome, Eclipse and JellyBeer roms, all same effect

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysac:
I had tried many things to fix the problem but only flash backup fixed it.. I think you should better wait to go home and flash your backup.. The only annoying thing after that you should wait for a massive updates attack from play store .. also I tried to flash an older version of the mod and then revert it with no success..if you need your phone calls now then a good idea is to reflash mod.. the calls sound will be back and then at home you can reflash your old backup

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Misledz:
The sound issues happen when you tend to have an older radio installed, it causes the no audio part. Normally flashing the mod again fixes it temporary
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] thatguyzx:
I didn't see this reply. I would be willing to test builds for you. With the dual speakers, you're work would be amazing on that device. Also, thanks for keeping the N4 updated.
