That's just another variant of the g2 right? Should work then.

Use a root explorer to make a copy of your /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file and save it somewhere. Try the 6520 and turn your volume all the way down and start playing something and slowly increase your volume. If you can make it all the way to max without clipping, hissing, or distortion, then your good to go. If you have issues near the to end, try the 6218 zip. If you still have issues then restore the mixer file you copied or reflash your firmware.

Side note I'm playing with some other (lower) values, potentially to replace 6218, but my progress has halted a bit since my daily carry is now a moto x (not my choice, and I hate it)
[G2 Android Development] mero20:
Nice work
[G2 Android Development] perrofeo58:
which one?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Should work on any lg g2 regardless of what ROM
[G2 Android Development] perrofeo58:
NO

can't see any improvement ..... flashing on KK, headphone volume still not enought, cannot compare to other volume boost for JB
[G2 Android Development] RetributionSK:
I just installed this on my vs980(verizon) running resurrection rom and noticed a significant improvement. I typically have the volume maxed out now I don't I am extremely happy thank you.

Don't know if it will help anyone who is not noticing a improvement I flashed with Latest TWRP after creating a back up, Flashed the zip, wiped data/ cache.

This is definitely working on CloudyPro II 1.2. Thanks so much dude! I was getting fed up with the low volume on the KitKat ROMs.
[G2 Android Development] richielasalsa:
I have huge distortion. . Can someone post a restore please
[G2 Android Development] Bwangster12:
Yeah, I don't feel like I've noticed anything on my 24a VS980 rom. I did see an improvement in JB though.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
I don't think jellybean used the mixer_paths.xml file, so it wouldn't have been possible for this mod to have any affect on jellybean.

If it's not working on KitKat it could be that your ROM already has its volume set to the level that the zip changes.

Only way to know for sure is if you send me you /etc/mixer_paths.xml file from your ROM. Flash your ROM and don't flash the mod and then send your file.
[G2 Android Development] jrgilbert79:
This mod installed over Malladus 2.0.2 with Viper for Android 2.3.3.0 is the absolute loudest cleanest most epic sound I've ever heard. Granted I have a pair of vmoda crossfades which can handle it. The 50% vol will mos Likly be too loud for most people including your parents ?. This isn't good unless you know how to tweak viper in expert ui
[G2 Android Development] tholmes8291:

[G2 Android Development] iamtha1:
Wow finally one that works thank you so much
[G2 Android Development] workdowg:
First question, did you reboot? Yes? then read on...

Warning! I would be very careful changing it more than it is, you may damage your speaker or PHONE (over heat). But if you are already ok with that, ;) ,you could just change the setting in the script in the zip file from 65 to something higher. It is in META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
[G2 Android Development] Henryy97:
Uh, well since you bring up the damage part then never mind-- i don't want to mess up my device. Thanks for the help though.

P.S. I did reboot and stuff ;)

Mike
[G2 Android Development] Sindroid:
Thanks for this mod, and making my phone better. Works perfect on cloudyflex 2.1
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
You'll need to reflash you ROM.

There is no "original" mixer file because almost all ROMs modify it, but for some reason everyone keeps low values. All this mod does is modify your existing mixer, it doesn't include a full replacement for the file.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
I'll make a 67 and a 70 you can test and I'll pm you.

I would say first you should do is listen REALLY close for distortion with music on the speaker and on a phone call on speaker.

Then try playing music from the speaker for an extended period of time (20-30 minutes) and see if you notice any issues like clipping.

hahahaha, You're funny. If there's damage part then I'm out, huh?
[G2 Android Development] Henryy97:
Of course, developing/testing is a hobby, not a job, for me. So why would I risk my $700 phone that I depend on so much for college for something that can be irreversible or not fixed?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
This mod does nothing to modify the screen behavior. Try reverting the mod by flashing your ROM from recovery and see if you still have screen issues. If you do, then it's not this mod that caused the issue ;) if the issue clears up after flashing your ROM, try flashing the mod again. Also are you using any other mods or apps that could be interfering with your screen?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
I should rephrase:

This mod ONLY modifies one file. In that one file it only modifies certain variables. The file in question only handles audio things (no screen issues or sleep issues, audio only).

The /etc/mixer_paths.xml file is found in many (if not all) devices directly in the AOSP KitKat repository (from Google). This means that devices that have the file are likely to have a copy of the AOSP file modified by the manufacturer (or ROM author) to work with their device.

This file did not exist before KitKat, so if you're not on KitKat you wouldn't even be able to use the mod.

[G2 Android Development] Antidote03:
sorry for the silly question i dont know how to install this script ... not flashable or extractable ... any help

i feel like a noob :(
[G2 Android Development] goodguy25:
You just flash it via a custom recovery, make sure that the zips are not corrupt.
[G2 Android Development] Antidote03:
when i download i only see ( lgg2-headphone1.3-6520-signed.zip but nothing inside to replace the orginal file i mean only meta-inf
[G2 Android Development] detonation:
The script within meta-inf modifies the existing file on your device
[G2 Android Development] detonation:
The Verizon KK stock values for the settings changed in this mod are as follows:

HPHL=20

HPHR=20

RX1=62

RX2=62

RX7=84

So the 6520 zip does increase the volume however the 6218 is actually lowering it. Also, it looks like the speaker zip is actually significantly lowering the output too. Not sure if these values are the same on other carriers, but just a heads up for the Verizon model. I'm happy with 65 at the moment as it makes it louder without distorting it, at least in my car (with regular headphones it gets too loud at about 75%)
[G2 Android Development] GalaxyWhy:
After installing this the "Knock on" feature from locked doesnt work, I restored my nandroid backup I did before flashign this zip and it still doesnt work. Help :s

[G2 Android Development] znc62511:
Does this increase the volume for bluetooth as well? Thanks
[G2 Android Development] bona.pardede:

Hi,

I have glash your mod speaker and headphone through cusrecovery, but when i check the file mixerpath.xml, the value still the same at 60? And not become 65
[G2 Android Development] al2fast:
Works awesome, vs890, stock kit kat, no knock issues. Thank you!!!
[G2 Android Development] gkmedina:
thans bro
[G2 Android Development] leandronb:
i installed the fix for hissing in kitkat rom. will this break the fix since it modifies the same file?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
There shouldn't be any issue with that.

Just to update everyone here, I no longer have a g2 so I haven't been on here much lately. Anyone having issues make sure you do a backup before flashing. If restoring your backup doesn't fix the problem then the problem existed before you flashed the mod.

Also ALWAYS be ready to reflash your ROM if you didn't make a backup first.

There is no revert script, just reflash your ROM.

If the zip didn't change the values for you please post you mixer to pastrbin and I'll have a look when I have time (or someone here in the thread might get to it first).

[G2 Android Development] Lycidias:
Could You make a Variant which only increases the Media Volume ?

Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Unfortunately that isn't how it works. The values modify the output levels for all sounds. Kinda like a "master volume" setting. But as far as I can tell there are no individual settings for just media.

My recommendation is flash the increase mod and then just turn down the volumes you don't need so loud.

You could also probably use tasker to make an auto volume limiter for the settings you don't want loud (trigger it any time the volume is adjusted over a certain level, set it down to #)
[G2 Android Development] TruePlaya:
Manually edit mixer_paths.xml

After I got stuck in bootloop twice when editing mixer_paths.xml myself (no custom recovery installed for flashing ZIP) I want to post the way I made it work finally.

Problem was when editing mixer_paths.xml with RootBrowser editor it did not open the file fully so when saving I ended up with a corrupted XML file. G2 did not boot up any more gut stuck on G2 logo. Even recovery mode refused to work. Only way out of this was forced upgrading firmware with G2 mobile support tool in download mode. Fortunately data was not overwritten so no harm done here :good:

Here are the steps to edit mixer_paths.xml manually and get your headphones up to level:

1. copy mixer_paths.xml from \system\etc to your data storage

2. copy the file to your computer (USB, ...)

3. edit file with appropriate editor (I used Notepad++) - thik its important to keep the encoding which not all editors would do

4. go to section "<path name="headphones"> " and edit

"<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="56" />" and

"<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="56" />"

to ->

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="64" />

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="64" />

or some other value if you know what you are doing.

5. The keys "HPHL Volume" and "HPHR Volume" I recon is not amplifying the output but much rather the protection level that will be applied when you plug your phones in - in order to protect your ears. So I would NOT set them to 20 unless you want to risk streching your ear drums :p

6. save the file

7. copy it back to your phone

8. rename \system\etc\mixer_paths.xml to \system\etc\mixer_paths.orig (using RootBrowser or any other root explorer)

9. copy your edited mixer_paths.xml to \system\etc\mixer_paths.xml

10 reboot your phone

11. enjoy! :laugh:

That steps worked for me and my headphone output is significantly louder now. Whatsoever Im not responsible for any damage to your phone or your ears!!! Listen responsible ;)

[G2 Android Development] erto90:
isn't just microphone the left "speaker" ?
[G2 Android Development] evolishesh:
The left speaker only. I couldn't tell you about the microphone, I rarely talk on the phone.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
... On the bottom of the phone there is a speaker on one side of the USB port and a microphone on the other side of the USB port. There are no left and right speakers...
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Another recommendation:

Use a better file explorer. I literally created the flash able mod and zipped it and everything using fx file explorer and it's built in text editor.

I experimented on the settings by changing them live in my device in place.

If you have a file manager that misbehaves, get a new one :) I strongly recommend fx file explorer and it's root add on (I also use the paid plus add on for network shares and cloud storage, but that's off topic)

[G2 Android Development] mulderato:
I'm on 4.4.2 carbonrom for vz980. This worked on a previous build although it wasn't nearly as loud as stock bit it doesn't work at all on the newest build. When I flash it tells me that volume is now set to 65 yet I can barely hear it if I hold it up to my ear in media like YouTube.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Post your mixer_paths.XML to pastebin and link here
[G2 Android Development] DrugsBunny:
I had same problem the latest carbon doesnt work with the flashable zip it doesn change any values i had to manually go to the mixer file and change teh sound from 65 to 88 and it sounds incredible now!
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
This will be the first ROM it doesn't work on that I've been made aware of. This means the ROM dev changed the mixer_paths.XML file in a way that breaks the pattern recognition in my script. I may be able to fix it, but I'll need a copy of the included mixer file from that ROM posted somewhere like pastebin.
[G2 Android Development] Doublewise:
Does the headphone mod also affecting speaker or I need to flash both files (speaker and headphone)?

If I want to go back to stock LG, I just restore stock file individually?

Btw, Where is mixer_part.xml folder location?

Thanks

[G2 Android Development] supremekizzle:
Thanks for this. Would like to try this, but is there a way to post a zip that undoes these mods just in case? That way I don't have to reflash ROM? Thanks
[G2 Android Development] goodguy25:
You're better off backing up the /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file to your internal storage so you always have a backup. Use a root file explorer to do this.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Since every rom is different, the best I can do is tell you to use a root explorer like fx file explorer and copy your /etc/mixer_paths.xml and save a copy of your current one on your /sdcard/ then if y you want to revert the changes just copy it back and reboot.
[G2 Android Development] infexis:

[G2 Android Development] thenewbigmack:

[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
If you know what you're doing with the mixer file you can modify whatever you want. Use FX File Explorer to browse and modify the file. Other root explorers mess up the file and you'll get boot loops.

It should. Search the thread and see if anyone says otherwise.

OP FAQ says the mod should work on any lg g2 with any ROM.

Let us know how it goes for you.

Hey iXNyNe, I was wondering if I could make a thread with my own modified versions of these boost zips? It would be nice so that any people who have clipping or distortion... Or even want it to be louder will be able to just download them from my possible future thread. But I don't want to steal your fire and just wanted to know if I could do this. For example I have made some 62/20 63/19 66/20 67/20 69/20 and can make more dependent on request. It would be great if I could make a thread and post them, please reply.

With thanks,

William
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
That's fine by me.

Since I no longer have a g2 I don't really maintain this thread much or develop more.

Otherwise if you want I can post a download link to your files (like I have mine on devhost, you can use whatever you want) and I'll put your link in the op, then all the conversation sticks together in one thread.

Either way, it doesn't matter to me.

[HTC One X] Loruss:
So my HTC One X is having issues were the screen sometimes just does't turn on at all (stays black) it started of with massive graphical artifacts all across the screen and now it will turn on from time to time but is not very reliable.

I had Cyanogenmod installed and from what I have read I had to get it back to stock to receive warranty. I had a backup from before installing cyanogenmod, so I just ran a restore on it and the phone now has the old HTC Sense, however it will not connect to any network and will not turn the Wi-fi on for some reason.

My questions are the following.

Do you think I need to get the network/wi-fi working again to receive repairs under warranty ??

Here is the phones' current state : (See image file in attachements)

With android 4.1.1 htc sense. Apart from re-locking the bootloader and flashing the old recovery software do I need to do anything else to get the warranty repairs ?

Thanks in advance!! Ask me anything if needed, will answer asap.
