[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fosseperme:
Finally, thanks to my mod is exclusive solved the audio problem found on all ( or most) Nexus 5 ! (LINK BUG - see also comments to the news - italian)

Significantly increased the sound of the speaker , but above all also fixed the microphone input/output and speaker of the call !

In other words both you and your recipient feel ALWAYS sound loud and clean like never before. The phrase " can not hear you " ( typical of someone who has a Nexus 5 ) will be only a distant memory for you .

For the following guide takes root permissions and a file manager that allows to get into the system folder (for example Root Explorer can be downloaded from playstore ) .

1) Download the file from here Best Audio Mod Nexus 5 by fosseperme V2.xml and rename mixer_paths.xml

2) Go through root explorer ( or similar) in the system folder sytem / etc and replace the file with the old one ( after making a backup of the original file of course ) . If you root explorer problems in replacing click on the top of Mount R / W ( it displays a Mount R / O) and try again.

3) Set the correct permissions for the mixer_paths.xml file before rebooting as rw-r--r-- (important to avoid bootlop)

4) Restart the phone and try to call someone! You will see the results immediately !

NEW : Flashable Zip from recovery (Many thanks to Drummerjed)

Changelog V2

Increase audio recording (hear most of your audio / video recorded)

Changelog V1

Increase audio speaker, audio headphone and microphone audio input / output (better hear the other party on a call and he will listen to you better)

Thanks but bootloop with Purity Rom
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

You should add to the OP to set the correct permissions for the mixer_paths.xml file before rebooting as rw-r--r--:

No bootloop on Purity with the correct permissions, without the correct permissions you end in a bootloop...

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Yes, but it seems that the mod here from fosseperme solves/improves the sound for call like he claims (not in the other thread where is nothing about in call sound) even if I never have not noticed any problem with sound in call...

The volume in speaker is the same as the other thread, right.

Otherwise the only thing I noticed is the cause of the bootloop... :D

:)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] TheDarkM@n:
the problem in call is very evident (too much) in the call recording

but this mod doesn't fix it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Ok, since I don't use call recording and since the OP didn't mentioned it was to "try" to fix the issue with in call recording...:

So my answer about the fact that I never had a problem with in call sound (at least for me but for the OP it seems a typical problem :confused:)...

If I flashed Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost mod for the Nexus 5 should I revert back before doing this process? Or does it even matter?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] pelopicopata1969:
Good Job, works fine.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

It's the same file that is modified so no need to revert back to the stock file, with the mod here you replace the previous file... You can even use the flashable zip file from the other thread just replace the mixer_paths.xml inside the zip.

:)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fosseperme:
You can easily follow my guide! Don t worry
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
LOL, it's what I've done and it's how I found why there was bootloop (nowhere in your OP it was mentioned to set the correct permissions, then a user reported a bootloop and I realize this) ... then you have updated your OP since my first post here... :D

I know how to do (by use I had set the permissions without your "guide) but a zip file is more covenient for some users that's all...

:)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fosseperme:
Bootlop is because you don t modify permission file after replace.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Are you kidding :confused:

ok if i replace the mixer_paths.xml inside the zip of other mod i create a new zip file with my mod. I'm saying right?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
Re,

That's right, but before publish the zip file from the other thread with your mixer_path.xml inside the zip, ask the permission to the author or at least give credit to the author, its updater-script is tagged...

:)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] TheDarkM@n:
Please can you tell me what configuration, app (for recording), rom and kernel do you use?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fosseperme:
Ok but the file zip is installed with the right permissions?

you can test if it works?

P.S. You've noticed increase of audio incoming / outgoing call in and during registration?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
Re,

Obviously it works and it sets the right permissions, unless you have modified something else other than just replace the mixer_paths.xml...

EDIT: yes it works.

I have not noticed volume increased during call (never had issue), the volume speaker is increased. I don't use call recording (if it's what you mean) so for this I don't know.

:)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fosseperme:
the increase in volume takes place for those who listen to you, not you, because i I have increased the microphone audio output.

See here

I m italian and In Italy many people have this issue on nexus 5 (the receiver does not feel good,and often said he does not hear at times or feel low and away), read reviews.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
I have no issue in calls, nor for me or for the other person. Hum, did you read what I wrote, even all the posts between you and me? (Like when you explain me why there was bootloop?), it was funny... :eek:

Here is what I'll do, for sure... :rolleyes:

Sorry but fair enough for me, I give up.

Good luck with your mod!

:)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fosseperme:
Excuse me. The bug is the lower volume of mic output. if you did not have these problems because you installed the mod? XD
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mehdi_s82:
Thanks for the awesome mod. The microphone on audio recording is definitely louder. So is the speaker. However I think max output for the speaker should be a little lower. When I set volume to max, I feel that the speaker hardware cannot handle it and audio is capped

because i DON'TWANT to increase also speaker volume, cause i won't broke it, and also it's too loud for me .

I would like to know where and how I can manually change values ONLY FOR for increase MIC for better listening me with other people in call.

Can you help me? Or send a mixer path with only that changes? Thank you

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nednednerb:
I hoped this thread was about the audio buffering problem. Thru all versions of Lollipop so far I've experienced a glitchy buffer issue, where it can't stream the audio cleanly. There's an open issue on Google's tracker.

Is it only a volume issue these Italian subset of users experience? My digital audio and linguistics knowledge suggests that EQ is more likely responsible for difference in consonant clarity.

Does Italian have soft S and T and D and Z sounds that get confused a lot in certain words on intonation? I think I have heard lots of nuance in these consonants in Italian. Rounder gentler fricatives and stops.

In English these are usually hard strident sounds... More gain would tend toward distortion easier. I'm constantly "de-essing" narration and dialogue as an audio editor. Some speakers are really SaSSy with their esses, so to speak, and the sound sets right in... If you can hear what I'm saying.

By boosting gain on the mic signal you might be driving a certain higher harmonic register, crystallizing in the brain a difference that is important that gets confused by the ear without pushing those particular frequencies hard enough.

Is it a physical voltage pre-amp stage on the mic that is turned up by this mod or is it a digital gain boost in the software later?

Interesting mod..

This zip flashed a mixer path file. If you installed a ROM in the past, it came with a stock file. Another ROM based on a stock ROM would have the stock mixer path file.

If you needed to flash or otherwise push and set permissions for the stock mixer path file or any other file, even if there wasn't a made zip already, you could get that file from another package and push it individually yourself.

May be some work but actually faster in many cases and always successful unlike a zip which be hard to find or randomly for a different version and buggy.

You asked a no brainer question to someone less lazy than yourself, answering no brainers all day may be futility, you're right, but this is the internet. Knowing how to get yourself out of the boat crosses some people's minds before getting into the boat. I ALWAYS have known I can re flash or push my own system files without a zip, easily.

You shouldn't ever have that worry again! :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] TiMbl4:
Agreed. If it's possible.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:

There really aren't any changes to that file during Android upgrades either. [emoji14]
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] TiMbl4:
Understood. Will try it out! :)

Edit: Significant difference in volume. Even had to lower the in-call volume to 50%. Because the initial call beeps almost made me deaf. But there were more echo/scratch like sounds in the background (duh).

So I reverted the changes. Since only one or two people were complaining about my in-call volume.

If you just updated to the July N5 update, that's the problem, not anything you did. There is a bug in the new kernel (boot.img) in MOB30P. If indeed this is what you did (update to MOB30P), then the fix is to flash the old kernel from MOB30M, until Google fixes the problem (probably in the Aug patch release).

Hey, guys.

I recently purchased a new phone-LG Optimus L5 II e460

I want to change the ROM to something else but I haven't been able to find one that supports it. I looked around Google and found some things that I don't understand.

So, the first one is: What does flashing a KDZ mean?

Second one: Will doing so add something like a support for ROMs?

Third one: If it doesn't, can someone explain to me how to port a ROM to my phone (if possible)?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atriker512:
Flashing a KDZ file is about restoring stock ROM what you already have. First, you have to root your phone and then you need to download ClockWorkMod Recovery. In CWM Recovery you can install custom ROMs. Don't know where to download the custom ROM. You have a new phone. :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TahaX:
Hey man.

Welcome to the LG family! Congratulations on your purchase. I've done a little bit of research for your phone, and unfortunately came to the conclusion that your phone is only capable of being rooted. Unlocking your boot loader, installing a custom recovery and ROM is not possible yet. Even though you might not like your current stock ROM, you can always change it by rooting your phone and installing a couple of applications or tweaks that will definitely let you adjust your phone to your own liking. You can root your phone by following this small guide.

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask!
