Thanks for the reply... I was under the assumption that the zip that was posted a couple of pages back was flashable... Guess I misunderstood.... Thanks for the info.... A flashable zip would be a whole lot easier imo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ripebear:
Does this need to be done using an external SD card? I'm just trying to put it onto my phone main memory then booting recovery and installing via there.

Should work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yakie996:
hello! can you make it compatible for android 4.4??

thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
If it helps any, I tried this mod in GE 4.3 and it worked! Point being, even though it said TW, it worked on GE. Might work on 4.4 as is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] conflikt:
Any working version for cm11 or a tutorial on how to do it manually??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MeatyCoins:
Are the 4.3 links in the first post twrp/cwm flashable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nirrik:
Sorry for the late reply been gone for a while, no it wasnt a flashable zip, I should have mentioned that when I posted it. it needs to manually be transferred then you need to change the permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nirrik:
look at post 209

-Download zip to a computer

-unzip and extract the file.

-transfer it to a directory on your sd card or internal memory

-Do a backup in recovery (optional but I always do one when messing with system files)

-use a file manager like root explorer and navigate to system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder

-create a backup just in case of snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 by renaming it something like snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3.bak (also optional but a good practice to be safe rather than sorry)

-Transfer the modified snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 that I posted to that same directory

- Change permissions to rw-r--r--

-Reboot to recovery and wipe caches then reboot.

It worked for me on CM11.

I made this by following Jovy's instructions the best I could using the CM11 files, All credit belongs to him and all risk is yours if you want to try it.

Here are the files with the modified values from Danvdh's latest G.E. 4.4.2. Confirmed working and tested on the Virgin 4.4 GPE ROM but you must set permissions to rw-r-r or you will boot loop.

I'm actually trying to lower my in call mic's sensitivity because when i record conversations using Total Recall, it distorts. Can i alter the mics volume and will it work for me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tankrat:
for those of you who use pac 4.4.2, the cm11 zips will not work it will crash the phone and other sound related apps.

pac doesn't have the snd_soc_msn_2x_fusion3_auxpcm file in system/ect/snd_soc_msn folder and the "extra vol" sections listed in version 1 but it does have "extra gain" sections

I followed the instructions version 1 and modified the "extra gain" sections copied the file after the changes in root explorer and rebooted no crashes and volume is noticeable louder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tuffluck:
I am on ge24 via SafeStrap and think headphone volume is too low. Any hope for me to change it? I know a lot of these zips are recommended flashed only via cm/twrp, not SafeStrap. Can I edit the notepad file instead? Can I skip right to the headphone part or would I have to make all the edits?

Can we please get the same flashable .zip but for aosp/aokp cause I tried that .zip but freezes up when trying to place a call I'm on Slimkat! Thank you..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gloris:
Wow. Huge thanks.

Just used this guide to edit the music volume on "Headset" section only (I'm happy with all the other volumes) and it's made such a huge difference.

Bought some SkullCandy Hesh headphones a while ago, and they've never sounded the way they did in the shop....until now. This tiny mod is so much better than any other sound mod I've used (which usually messes up the phone in terms of making calls etc). With this I was able to only adjust the volume of the headset/headphones and now I can feel the music shaking with every beat just like in the shop.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

::EDIT::

now wondering....can the volume steps be edited in a similar way? e.g. can we created a mod for 20 or 30 volume steps instead of 15?

::EDIT::

Found a really easy way to make these edits with notepad++

- Copy all files from the snd_soc_msm directory to your mem card (and then to your pc).

- Open all files with notepad++

- Click search then replace.

- In the "find what" box type:- ([0-6][0-9].[0-9])%

- In the "replace with" box type:- 69.7%

- Click replace all in all open documents.

- Close notepad++ and save all changes.

- copy the edited files back to the /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ folder

- set permissions to rw-r--r--

- reboot (optional? into recovery and clear cache/dalvik)

- enjoy louder sound :)

Using this method you don't have to painstakingly search through the sound files to find all the values that need to be replaced, the search string will find all % values that are between 00.0% and 67.9% and replace them all with 69.7%

I find that if you go above 69.7% it tends to just distort the sound, this value, for me gives the best boost while still retaining audio quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] eazypic:
Just upgraded from the Sprint S3 to the S4 - My problem is the IN CALL volume on the S4, everything else has been good. I have rooted and installed the mods, but that isn't helping enough. It def boost the other volumes plenty, but not the in call volume. I've tried to manually edit the files, but not real sure if I have done it correctly, I assume not as it didn't go up after the mod.

Can anyone show me exactly what code lines are specific to ONLY the in call volume so I can edit it and get my volume up ?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mangalo2004:
Look for "voice earpiece" change the value on that section, I made mine 70.7 and the volume is much better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] eazypic:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have searched, but seems the 2 files I am editing only have " EAR PA Gain':0:POS_6_DB" They have nothing about "voice ear piece "

Am I missing something ?

The files are -

snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm

snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mangalo2004:
Not sure. I'm running cm11, so if your on a touchwiz rom it may be different.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
Before I flash this, would anybody be able to verify this boosts the headphone jack's volume? I use an aux cord in my car and would like the volume a bit louder. The changelog states: Boosted Volume For Speaker Lineout!, so would that mean it would boost the volume when hooked up to an aux cord?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nirrik:
It doesn't boost volume but the viper mod works if you install it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] reilus:
Pacman rom

I tried to edit the files, but one of the files isn't there and the first file doesn't have the same code in it as listed. Therefore, I expect the flashable zips for CM11 do not work.

How can I modify the volume for the PACMAN ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CousinMikeyP:
U have mods for 4.4.2 BOSS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sczar:
I have a s4 4.4.2 and I flashed it to see if it works through Safestrap.

And the answer is yes it does.

*Make sure you do a backup before flashing the file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wetwaterdog:
I have 4.4.2 rooted etc.....

I went ahead and used the code on the first page to mod the 2 files.

I think I found an error in your code, part 2, under Speaker and Speaker Extra Vol.

It looks like you got tired (lol) and placed the higher value under Speaker, and the lower under Speaker Extra Vol. so for my mod I changed those 2 entries.

Have it loaded now, it works, but I forgot what the old volume was like.....getting old....

Question:

Anyway to get an .apk file instead of the zip? I have not reloaded Safestrap since I had some issues with it...and would prefer not to use it.

thanks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
The volume files are not in apk form.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] incidentflux:
Listed for 'CYANOGENMOD11', would it be safe to assume it'll work with this KitKat 4.4.4 build 'cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-jflte.zip'?

I thought I was going deaf, before I found these files.

Update:

Flashed both files, Volume_Boosting_Sound_VERSION_2_MODERATE and Volume_Boosting_Sound_VERSION_2_VERY_LOUD, heard no difference or improvement, reverted back to Stock_Volume.

volume bar problems?

Hi guys, I did your mod a while ago and its great, but my volume bar is now a bit screwed up, I get to max volume about half way, then it starts from zero and goes up again for the remainder of the volume bar, is this a common thing? could it be related to an exposed mod that increases volume steps? I have used similar mods on other devices in the past and I have had this issue a couple of times, it doesn't really bother me too much but it would be nice to fix it, not sure if anyone else is having this issue. thanks

Huh? I don't know why you want this unless your s4 can stand on a Tripod . One side will always obscure a speaker.

To amplify your volume flash Venom0642 Volume Loud Boost: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712473186

To get stereo sound from both speaker, install Viper4Droid or rename original file and just copy sshafranko xml file. http://www.mediafire.com/view/hsgsrq444fsccs4/surround_snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3.xml
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] FPSUsername:
Do you mean Viper4Android?

Thanks for sharing the file, will test now.

Edit: Woow, this is amazing! if I mute the back speaker with my finger I can still hear it clearly through the front speaker! however, it is a little bit less hard/boosted. Any chance of a boost at the front speaker?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AoEKiller:
Great so I guess you find the path to copy the xml file since it seem to work ;)

/system/etc/snd_soc_msm

To amplify the volume, edit the same xml file and change value in Step 1 from this thread or use Viper4Droid:

I know that, but what is the name of the upper speaker? What do I have to change to boost only the volume of the upper speaker? (I think v4a will boost both speakers, and will apply all effects to both speakers)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AoEKiller:
I would try to modify the Handset and Handset X-Vol first. Mic, Speaker and Headset should have no effect on the front speaker but beware because the volume may be too loud as well if you receive phone call and can cause permanent ear damage.

I fine tuned my XML file and have the best true stereo I could create.

True Stereo v1.0

Works on CM11/12 roms, only for GT-I9505 (have not tested on other S4 devices since I don't have them)

If you think one of the speakers is (not) too loud, open

snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3

with notepad++ (you don't have to rename the file to

snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3.xml

to open it)

To change the volume of the rear speaker, go to rule

2122

and change

60.0%

to something what you like.

To change the volume of the front speaker, got to rule

2123

and change

72.5%

to something what you like.

WARNING!

I do not recommend putting the front speaker over

75%

as it will give you noise, (especially at

80.0%

or higher) and it may even damage your speaker!

This is the best balance between the front and back speaker, you can increase the volume of the back speaker by

5%

max to keep balance between the 2 speakers.

Save the file, replace it in the .zip and flash it!

------------------------------------------------------------

Update:

True Stereo v1.1

Changelog:

Revert back speaker to 63.0% to fix balance on low volume

I have a rooted ATT S4 i337 and I copied original files and used Note++ to edit as here. It was a fast edit. I copied it to phone in folder. Rebooted and it froze or bricked. I found original firmware and restored phone. I am now leary to change file. My question is why did this happen? After I copied edited file to folder I remembered as it was rebooting that I forgot to change attributes when I wrote file over original. Could this have been the reason? I was originally a Sprint S3 and rooted, unrooted, bricked, unbricked. I found a sound boost file for that here and it helped greatly. I am no genius or hacker but like fooling with phone and learning. I am also hard of hearing after 28 years working on railroad. So this sound mod is important to me. Any help or knowledge would be helpful. Thank you for your time.

In case that any1 like me wants to increase the microphone volume for like voice messages or phone calls (the other side will thank you) - I recommend to search the file for "MIC" which will list all the sections using the microphone.

you find like:

where I adjusted the 'DEC4 Volume':2:95% ---------------> (yes from 67,7% to 95%)

I made those always everywhere on the DEC4 where the MIC was used - so now I have more or less the same volume when I speak myself, compared to others sending me voice messages. :good:

re: flashing

Just flash the the rom again but in the Aroma installer it will have an option to only

add apps, features and other options without flashing the entire rom again.

Try that before you do a full re-flash of the rom again. It will work.

Good luck!

I have just uploaded a "MODERATE" version of the volume boosting sound hack its in the second post in the OP section. Its just a slightly loud version of the mod, but not as loud as the 'VERY LOUD' version of the mod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: Volume Hack

You are the man Jovy, THANKS...

Now I can again enjoy the Darthstalker rom!

There is only one question I really have ask. (this question is very long and drawn out but I just have to ask.)

Besides my S4 I also have 2 Galaxy S3's and I have made a couple of really accurate tests with

them using the Darthstalker and the stock rooted roms on both of the S3 phones.

I flashed the Darthstalker rom with Aroma installer and disabled the volume hack in one of my S3's.

The other S3 was odin flashed with the stock pre-rooted S3 Jellybean 4.1.2 rom.

Then I opened the stock music players in both of the phones and had the volume all the way up

to the max and used the same MP3 song for the test.

The phone with the Darthstalker volume hack disabled in the aroma installer was very much quieter

then the other S3 phone with the stock rooted Samsung Jellybean 4.1.2 odin flash rom in it.

This is something I could never understand after doing these tests.

The Darthstalker rom which was the version we had right before you added the aroma installer was exactly the same

loud as the stock rooted Samsung Jellybean 4.1.2 odin flash rom with the volume also turned up to the max level.

What values you've used in moderate version?

Very loud version , does indeed work, but makes sound really distorted and bad quality
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vcysion:
That is correct, you can edit it to your liking and place it back in the folder and make sure you change the permissions back to what they were. You do not need to reinstall the ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
I love this mod but i'm afraid to use it lol. Even when i flashed the moderate version, I feel that the speaker might blow up from it being to loud.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dh2225:
Hmm, i didn't notice much difference, edited all the lines as in instructions. I didn't do something right?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
Flash one of the zips.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: volume

I don't know how difficult it would be for Jovy to leave the stock volume alone in the rom.

It's not that I mind flashing stuff, I have plenty of time to do it but for those who simply want the default stock volume

level which the phone came with it would make more sense to leave the volume at default level and create two cwm/twrp

flashable zip files, one could be called "VeryLoud.zip" and the other "LittleLouder.zip" and so on.

That way only those people who are not satisfied with the stock volume would need to flash anything having to do with volume.

After all the tests I made regarding the volume in both the stock S3 and the stock S4 I have found that the stock

volume level in the S4 phone is at least 40% louder than the stock volume in my S3 phone.

In other words the stock S4 is way louder to start with than the stock S3.

The volume level in the stock S4 rom in my opinion is perfect and I have a feeling that for most people it would be perfect too,

it's not only plenty loud but it has way less distortion than the S3 if no volume boosters are flashed in the rom..

All of the above is just my personal opinion which usually is not worth even two cents around here. LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SBERG117:
Update - Have had the Moderate Mod on for a full days use and I'm liking it alot...I use poweramp for music and adjust the EQ within and it really gives the sound a nice punch...Within the poweramp EQ I use the phone speaker preset.That one gives the phone speaker the best overall sound for me.Haven't had any crackling as was the case with the Loud mod.

Headphones are really good...Again the sound is clear and loud..lol. Thnx for the mods , this worked out well..:good::good:
