This worked like a charm. My device is International Galaxy S3. I was about to move away from CM10.2 as I was not happy with the vibration strength and the speaker volume. But I made the change here for the volume, and I'm going to stay with the ROM. :) Thanks again. :)

If you guys are not able to find the folder or the file specified here, and instead see the /etc/sound folder, get inside and edit the m0 file there. Go to 41% in ES File Explorer, as mentioned in the thread, and you will find the volume set to 57 there. Change it to 63, reboot. I was surprised to see it work. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] terrellz:
This Really helped make things Alot louder. But do you know which line to edit to make Bluetooth sounds louder? I have some Bluetooth headphones and it's not really loud. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aerostargt:
thanks this worked, but do you know by any chance what line or file to edit because the system ui sound does not work neither does the keyboard sound, I'm using pac-man ROM, clean install wiped everything fixed permissions format system, used twrp and cwm same thing no sound, flashed paranoid ROM and it works, clean install pacman again does not work, thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonybahr:
Anyone know why my changes aren't sticking. Worked perfect for Dirty Unicorn. On revolt 4.3 my changes revert back to stock upon reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Perhaps you didn't mount R/W?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonybahr:
I've tried it probably 15times with 3 diffrent root explorers. It changes and let's me save it. Just rebooting resets it. Guess it's just this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
I know this thread is kind of dead but I'm curious about this question I quoted above. Thanks.

But i couldn't find etc/snd_soc_msm folder there is only sound folder appears. What i'm making wrong.

I found a flash file from OMEGA that works too... no coding necessary just flash with clockwork mod in recovery mode and your done

just download omega files and then use the hack for 4.1.2 .. works perfect on 4.3 Galaxy S3 ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BackDaws:
On my HTC one s it says

"RX3 digital volume"1:65

"RX4 digital volume"1:65

Should I change both to 70 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JRJ442:
Yeah probably. It has two front speakers right? I don't recommended 70 though. On my S3 and G2 its a little much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BackDaws:
HTC one S only has 1 rear speaker this is what I don't understand unless cyanogenmod 11 for my phone is using some of the HTC One code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JRJ442:
Yeah I don't understand that either. I haven't even flashed a 4.4 ROM to any extent yet so I'm not sure if they all have those two or not. I'd try changing both to 68 or 70 and rebooting. Can't really hurt anything. Makes a back up of it anyway when you change it..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
I must admit that the first time I tried this I bootlooped. Why, cause I didn't follow the instructions exactly. Second time, I made sure I recorded the permissions and made sure I set them correctly when I was done. Everything worked. Also changed the headphone volume as shown in post #27. Will look around for the bluetooth volume to see if it can be changed. Btw I'm on Gummy kitkat 4.4.2 for i535.

Thanks eheinzeiii
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] myzterray:
i running cyan fox 4.4.2 on GS3 and im coming from deTmobilized on 4.1.2 and miss the volume boost hack. i tried to follow these instructions but when i opened the file its really long. where eactly do i find the value to be changed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindmajick:
You're gong to try this and don't know how to find a string of text in a file? Better not.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindmajick:
No idea. I'm running slimkat which has boeffla sound which allows me to boost the speaker.

It should work though. . If the option is there then no reason it shouldn't.

I'm on a i9300 (galaxy s3) with the cm 11. There is no "snd_soc_msm" folder, anywhere.

How can I use this trick on my device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
You can't, the snd_soc_msm only exists for Qualcomm SoCs, your device has a Samsung Exynos Processor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] myzterray:
Well at one point I didn't know how to flash a ROM either but guess what?? Now i do. I have unique ability to do something I've never done before when I ask a question and some one gives me an answer and instruction instead of being a smartass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bricktomm:
Thats' just sad :(

Anyway, i found in the system/etc/sound a file, name m0, that can be edit in a similar way. At abount 41% (with es explorer) there is a "speaker volume" set to 57. It can be raised to 63 and it will actual improve a little the volume of the speaker.

I'll just leave this here, if any other s3 owner will pass by this tread :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindmajick:
That wasn't a smartass answer, my friend. I was trying to help you not screw up your phone.

The text you are looking for is in the op and Google is your friend. Honestly, you're better off doing this then being told exactly what to do. Understanding what you are doing and not just following my instructions will set you free.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] myzterray:
ok..guess over the internet cant really tell tone. i appreciate the advice. i ended up using the volume blaster mod and it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netlagger:
This worked great. Although I did have to play with the Handset Rx volumes to get the increase I wanted. This is awesome. Thanks for the very helpful post that has solved my low volume problems on PA 3.99.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dudiadudia1:
i've tried this on cm 10.1.3 stable i9305..found the file. its called M3 here. change the tag "Speaker Volume" to 63

rebooted and now..no sound at all from the phone!! :crying::crying:

what to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindmajick:
Just a guess. . Change it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Willybeen:
I did this last night on a CM11 BASED rom (kitkat) and i felt like it worked but there was literally no background noise in my room when I did it.

Upon driving this am, i still need quite a bit more volume.

Is there a flashable for cm11 roms?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Casper34:
I did this on CM11 kitkat with KTK and everytime I went to answer a call I would get squat. I can call out, just not answer. I reverted back to stock and everything is fine. So I would have to say this does not with CM11.

Sent from my ghost white SGS3!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
This does work on CM11. Just make sure you are editing the correct lines or you will be in trouble. Mastamoon made a zip that changed the notification volume to 68%, which is perfect for me. I think it is in his cm10.2 thread if I am not mistaken.

EDIT: Here it is. Make sure you thank MASTAMOON for the files. I did not make these.

Bluetooth

Has anyone found Bluetooth volume, yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coridan:
25655522

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but google brought me here and reading the thread you may know the solution.

I am using CM on my galaxy tab 10.1 and my headset volume is really low for video apps only. Netflix, Hulu+ and Youtube specifically. For audio players it works just fine. I came here hoping to find a way to just boost it all around and simply lower it when I use the other apps, but my audio settings folder in root just has lines with numbers, nothing so simple as HEADSET=60 for me to fiddle with.

I figure it is an issue with the auto safety for headphones (which I have tried disabled and enabled) since it doesn't happen with bluetooth or speakers. If anyone could help or point me the right way it would be great!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] denero1:
ive come to bump this thread because its super useful as cm mod has low speaker volume autoset i hope this thread is stickied
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] esjames:
Yea this thread is not going to help you much as the code is different for each device. Not sure what generation you have either but like the p31XX developers have some nice sound mods they cook into their respective roms. The best place is to look in the forum for your device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonster92:
I have a I-747 (ATT) and tried the steps on the first page to increase my speaker volume. I found the file I needed to change and bumped up my percentage a little. When I attempted to save the file, it said something along the lines of unable to save, even after switching to R/W. I then backed out of the root explorer, opened it up again to try and change the file again but found that my setting remained changed. I then was going to restart and try to call someone, but my phone is now stuck in the CM loading screen....any ideas? Do I have to recover my phone? If so, can someone point me how to do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] larsdennert:
After editing this file and before rebooting, make sure the file attributes are still 644. Probably said somewhere in this thread, but it's for Qualcomm based chips. Earpiece and Voice Earpiece seem to help in call volume. I set to 72 for a hefty boost though there is some high freq hum at full volume it is worth it to be able to hear in loud places.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mikey1969:
Mastamoon may have set up and posted the files, but you deserve a thank you as well for posting that link. I thank you both and have hit the "Thanks" button for both of you...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beachcomp.com:
I have tried this twice already and had the same results both times.

Editing the file , even w/o any changes, causes the phone to get stuck on the boot logo and never boot. :(

And I did verify 644 before a reboot.

Edit the file in etc/snd_soc_msm

Change the Device section "Earpiece" to 'RX1 Digital Volume':1:72 instead of 68

Do the same for "Voice Earpiece" section

I'm in the same situation.

I've got an HTC One M7 and I tried this three times on CM11 (latest nightly).

Always ended up getting stuck on a boot loop.

I set the right properties to the file and I made sure I only changed the right numbers.

Any hints here?

I really need to increase the earpiece volume

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] IaKnightHawke:
Thank you! File installed fine on Masta's CM 11-10/24 nightly. Testing now. Thanks again. Gary

Edit:

Been running on my SGS3 for several hours. Test for me was handling a phone call with my very noisey autistic child in the room and a Tv going at the same time. It seems to have handled this situation well. Ear piece volume was much improved. Gary

Edit @ 2:49pm

Just heard from Masta. He thought the volume fix had been merged a while back. He said that the zip files he had posted for cm 10.2 should work for us on cm 11.0.

I would advise that you do a backup before editing or installing any 'fix' though just in case. Gary

I have wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats.

then Install from sdcard.

CM-10.1-20130808-signed.zip

gapps-jb-20130301.zip

4EXT says installation has been completed

I reboot the phone and the screen gives first the white HTC boot screen and then there is an black screen and it 'll not proceed in the booting proces.

Am i doing something wrong? (I guess so :D but i don't know what the problem is) I have read several rooting guides on XDA but am a bit lost in the information.:silly:

Can somobody give me an helping hand.

Many thanks
[HTC Desire S] Husky34:
ur S-ON and not S-OFF so u must do this:

1 open the rom.zip in your pc

2 extract the boot.img

3 put the boot.img in the folder where u have the fastboot.exe

4 in this folder hold shift button on the pc keybord and right click on the mouse and select "run windows command here"

5 put your phone in fastboot mode and connect into your pc

6 in the command line opened at point 4 write

" fastboot erase cache " and do the command.

now write

"fastboot flash boot boot.img " and do the command :)

this must be done everytime u change rom (otherwise u can s-off your device -> search in general topic)

[Xperia Z General] pulser_g2:
It was clear that rooting some Sony devices was not as easy as it should be. This is for unlocked bootloader users, who want to quickly root a stock ROM by flashing a rooted boot.img.

There may have been some in the past, but these tend to be full of other "tweaks", like hideous amateur boot logos, and stupid changes like setting ro.secure=0. That's a bad idea, it can break things, and frankly, I know from experience of myself and others that there is a need for a FAST way to root your unlocked device after flashing a new ROM, rather than messing around with downgrading and OTAs.

This will NOT work on locked bootloader, but this is not intended for them. This doesn't include 9001 different recoveries either, like some "kernels" do. This is the stock kernel, with root added, and nothing stupid added.

There is one security improvement made - ro.adb.secure has been set to 1. This is an important security feature, please don't complain about it. If you don't use ADB, you'll never see it, and it won't change anything. If you use adb, it will offer you greater security on 4.2+ stock Sony ROMs, which don't have this feature enabled. You will be prompted to accept the computer connection on the phone, just like in "AOSP" Android 4.2 and above.

The downloads are available above, in the "Downloads" tab. If you have a particular version you wish to request, simply post the kernel.sin. I have made this for only C6603 Xperia Z phone images right now, but will consider expanding it for other devices if there is demand and people who can test.

Enjoy simple root, without the nonsense. None of the "don't mirror my files" crap. None of the "please give me donations", none of the "omg credit me as the best person ever". Feel free to share, use, re-use, mirror, enjoy. And I think you'll find that these files are rather helpful for the unlocked bootloader root community :) I've been thinking about making them for months, but it seems that nobody has ever bothered to.
