ZVD Stock kernel

Hi everyone I was wondering where can I find a stock ZVD (LS980) kernel. I tried installing other kernels (Simple kernel, Dorimanx) but with them I loose FM radio. I had to install stock ZVC kernel that I found but I miss knock code which only works with ZVD.

thanks!

I flashed 4.4.2 stock, and yet it still says rooted. How do I get it to say "unrooted"? I tried the drachen method but it didn't work...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayzersensei:
If i root and use your unroot method can i recive officaly updates from lg g2?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsanePostman:
So I dirty flashed a LS980 rom and lost root (wiped system, dalvik, and cache then installed updated rom). Is there a way to regain root without having to wipe my phone? Possibly a way to uninstall TWRP and revert back to stock recovery so I can reroot with ioroot25? Ioroot25 doesnt seem to work with TWRP from what I can tell.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
You can root using twrp, just copy the root zip from ioroot and then flash it from recovery or try stumproot

New to G2

Hi all,

I will be getting a G2 tomorrow.....I hope its a good buy even now :o

I dont know whether it will be in kitkat or JB.

If it is in JB, can i just update to KK by OTA or PC suite ?

Can I easily root KK and install custom ROMs ?

Which one is better, JB or KK ?

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimi Mack:
If you a getting it from a service provider it will come with KK. Go to the Development section under G2 for your service provider and you will find methods and Roms there. Enjoy.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] middo:
Hi,

I posted a query on here a while ago re the above.

I have since downgraded back to 1.72 but the bluetooth is that awful I have gone up to 2.02 again.

I have downloaded the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR file and unzipped it but how does this become the extended rom?

I have read the thread suggested by "edsub" and tried to upgrade with a MS_.NBF from the 1.72 package but I am still showing no extended rom.

I also took TPDisable out of the config.txt but my Himalaya still locked and needed to be reset.

Is this the reason as I guess the extended rom applications do not get chance to load?

Lastly I have never been able to get a bluetooth microphone to work with this firmware!Any Ideas?

Cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] tbc_borg:
did you unlock the ExRom before trying to install a new one. There is a good util found on the forums that unlocks the ExRom and unhides it, maybe thats what you need to do first
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
Updated for Lollipop Version :laugh:

(Kitkat Versions)

Working with G3 Ported ROM's

This Mod Produce a Better Quality Sound like a Apple Device

Features: Loud Music - More Bass - Pure Clarity

Special Thanks & Credits to @iXNyNe @Henryy97 @zhuhang

Try on your own risk, im not responsible if you brick your device :cool:

Must be Stock KitKat ROM - Rooted & installed TWRP 2.7

Step 1 - Brings Volume Loudness

Step 2,3 - Quality Music Output

Step 1: Download and Flash any one zip file (preferred) listed below and Reboot.

link: http://d-h.st/users/NyNe/?fld_id=34873

1. lgg2-speaker1.3-65-signed.zip - Speaker & Headphone Boost (High)

2. lgg2-headphone1.3-6520-signed.zip - Only Headphone Boost (High)

3. lgg2-headphone1.3-6218-signed.zip - Only Headphone Boost (Medium)

Step 2: Download Viper4Android - FX version v2.3.3.0

link: http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=48

File downloaded from Step 2 Zip file has two files,Extract and place the 5.3 mb (4.x_2330) file on your SD Card and install the apk.

After installing it open Viper4Android and follow instructions, select Super Audio Quality and install the Driver if it says LPA is enabled do you wish to disable. just press Yes and now Reboot.

Step 3: Settings on Viper4Android are Very important for Best Enhanced Output.

Step 4: After all the above process Reboot your Device and its Time to Plugin Your Headset :laugh:

Tested:

ON: Cloudy Pro II 1.2 - Cloudy Stock 1.3 - LG Stock Kitkat ROMs

With: Apple Earpods / Sony MDR-XB30EX / Sony MDR-XB400

1. This MOD is particularly Based on Headset settings, you can try with Speaker settings too but DO NOT enable EXTRALOUD at bottom of the Speaker settings.

2. Works with Stock Music Player, but Awesome :victory: with Player Pro (my opinion)

3. Do not enable Music Equalizer (try changing in Viper4Android - Select Preset)

if you want to revert to Stock Settings: Refer to page 12 - #118

Hit Thanks if these changes bring a better Audio in your G2 :D
[G2 Android Development] Henryy97:
Hey thanks for the mod and glad to be of help to you. One question, I realized viper4android let's you choose sound quality settings. does it significantly affect battery life if I pitch the best?
[G2 Android Development] alvaro_lsrs:
mod not work with headset bluetooth. the sound is out with speaker when the headset is pair with phone
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
i was using this MOD since 5 days and i dont notice any Battery Drain. especially with Viper4Android. Battery remains the same as KItKat Stock
[G2 Android Development] hardykalyan:
Choice...

The mod you posted works with a rooted phone. I have used your mod in the past and noticed a significant improvement in sound. Later I have been using non-rooted phone and was unable to get the Viper4droid function.

The choice I have made is to use Jetaudio with AM3D activated... It is not the best but provides better base and tones. The good thing is you can modulate both jet audio settings and AM3D and this helped in improving the output too...

Posted this, just to ensure that someone like me could try it .....

[G2 Android Development] TheMorpheus:
Thanks for this, I've installed without a problem! I have just a question:

What's better, LPA enabled or not?

Thanks
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
to my knowledge LPA disabled has got better results :) disabling changes the following values

Ipa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false

tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false

thanks for liking my MOD :D
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
Viper4Android should have root access, so according to you which one you found better ?

this mod or Jetaudio with AM3D activated ??

[MENTION=1060055]down[/MENTION]

Yup Yup xD
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
Some ppl think its silly, but still people are confused what settings to be used. be fair man, helping and being clear is not bad ri8 ?

better you notice step 1. you cant find that in Viper4Android...this is a combination of two good mods.
[G2 Android Development] phonehead6720:
How do you revert back after the first sound mod? How do you revert LPA back after disabling? Have you noticed any difference in battery life? LPA is supposed to really increase battery life, so I'm reluctant to disable or change anything without the option to revert back, I know you can take a nandroid but that's time consuming, are there easier ways? Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Keep in mind the step 1 zip you are using is only for cloudy ROM.

While it may work with other firmware it is actually overwriting the intended settings provided by the firmware. For example CyanogenMod and omni have wildly different values in mixer_paths.xml than the one you provided.

If you want a zip that will do pretty much the same thing as step 1 see my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701745
[G2 Android Development] kevintong116:
Seems that there is a little bit background noise after ViPER Clarity is enabled and set to 10.0dB ?

It's quite serious actually.

BTW, what is the purpose of changing the values of mixer_paths.xml? ( just curious to know @@ )
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
The values changed in the mixer_paths.xml mod I posted are specifically to boost the volume output of the headphones and prevent a volume level change when switching between music and phone call etc.

There are other things that can be done using mixer_paths.xml like the bass reducer for the speaker which solves some distortion issues. You can also adjust the speaker volume, the call volume, and many other things.

I'm not 100% sure the of what changes the cloudy zip from the op makes. It's a premade firmware specific file, and probably shouldn't be flashed on a firmware that isn't cloudy. But I can tell you that the mod I posted actually gives you louder sound output then the cloudy one, and it's universal to all KitKat firmware.
[G2 Android Development] kevintong116:
How about the noise? Is that normal?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Couldn't tell you. I'm not using viper, and I'm on CyanogenMod.

I recommend you try to clean flash your firmware (which will undo the mixer mod) and then try the mixer mod from my thread without viper and see how it sounds. If you need the viper mod after that you can add it, but at least you won't be using the wrong mixer file (my mod just changes YOUR mixer file rather than replacing it)
[G2 Android Development] noname1x:
Noozxoid EIZO-rewire is much better than Viper. IMHO
[G2 Android Development] Henryy97:
Why is it that when I extracted the mixer_paths.xml file from the zip and replaced it with my original mixer_paths.xml i got bootloop?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Probably not meant for your firmware. Please read my other posts on page 2 of this thread.
[G2 Android Development] nbi1:
Good question, one that I'd like to see an answer to. I'm not even clear on why "flashing" needs to be done at all. If you have a rooted phone why can't mixer_paths.xml simply be updated to the OP's version of the file?? Is there some checking taking place during boot to verify that files which are part of stock are unaltered?

And why are there so many posts about android kitkat ?The OP's title clearly says "Lollipop Volume Booster". What part of "Lollipop" are folks not understanding??

So am I out on a limb by asking if this has been verified on a T-Mobile G2 D801 (30c) running Lollipop 5.0.2 ?

Thanks.

UPDATE: As I expected simply replacing mixer_paths.xml works fine, no flashing needed. The OP's change does indeed boost volume although not as much as I expected. Maybe I'm hard of hearing. At any rate the OP's version yields a foundation for further improvements. Many thanks.
[G2 Android Development] .jRay.:
How do i use it on stock rooted kk. I have stock recovery. When i tried adb sideload. It gives an error.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
You should probably consider getting a custom recovery. I recommend twrp but cwm is also good.

If you insist on keeping your stock recovery you can extract the files from the step 1 zip and use a root explorer to replace your /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
[G2 Android Development] Henryy97:
I'm using CloudyPro II 1.2 for my D802. Pretty sure that's the correct one.
[G2 Android Development] superbonto:
flashed this mod last night and yes, it makes a difference.

i flashed most sound mods for G2 and viper4android myself previously, but this mod is simply brings out most of my G2's audio potential.

great work!

Can you post the link ?

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
FYI please this is not a copied stuff, in step 1 the mixer_paths.xml is way different from others. and i dont see any post having a clear idea how to use viper4android. dude and this is not a 1 day or 2 days stuff. as a music lover i tried every mod, every change that could bring the best output from lg g2. encountered many bootloops :( but still didnt gave up to my research....
[G2 Android Development] kevintong116:
I'am using this setting@@

Impulse: View attachment 2669846
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Actually the only mod you've made to the mixer is upping the speaker volume (one value). If anything the cloudy ROM may be different from stock. I'd love to see the mixer from 4.4 stock just to compare.

Anyway you it seems like really what you're posting mainly is what settings you're using on viper, which I'm sure took some research, but that's settings, not a mod.
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
settings cant said as a mod, But using the right combination of mixer paths & viper4android in G2 with good settings actually made a huge difference in Audio :)

im not taking this credit, i just posted if any music lovers in this forum can enjoy this :cowboy:

Can I flash using Philz?
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Philz is just a fancy modded clockwork recovery isn't it? If so then yes, it should work to flash anything that cwm can flash.

reboot？
[G2 Android Development] Henryy97:
Works great, flashed with Philz. The sound is amazing :)
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:

[G2 Android Development] jrgilbert79:
Just using VIper alone with the new 24a 4.4.2 leak on Verizon and this is far superior to stock. Viper alone does not effect phone speaker though. But headphones and Bluetooth are phenomenal. I would not suggest following the OP instructions on viper setup though. Its not really optional for anything but c-rap

Please don't start an argument. This is your opinion and you are entitled to it, but don't detract from the developers contribution to the forum
[G2 Android Development] Danzano:
Lol

Sold an iphone 5 for this phone the LG has hands down better audio quality

Just change volume to your preferred level and use neutron music player but use the one optimised for neon code from there website it's faster and uses the resources better it also let's you get latency right down and use there driver or the proprietary one

Viper noozoxide etc etc put software in between what's already there or use there on Monday drivers all add to latency but may fix equaliser issues but if you get neutron and a good set of headphones and 320kbps mp3 or higher your good to go with raw great sounding low latency audio

For some this maybe great but there are so many of these threads I had to say something
[G2 Android Development] phonehead6720:
Thanks Danzano, do you have some recommendations on the optimal settings for neutron? Just downloaded it.
[G2 Android Development] Danzano:
I'll have a look through and write them down or screen shot them later and post them up for you but atm I have latency at minimum 160ms max around 170ms which is leaps and bounds above others I've tried and you can hear difference also 64bit processing enabled along with LG driver dithering crossed etc etc

[G2 Android Development] jrgilbert79:
Hey just a quick question is there any way to increase speaker output only? Like all I want is louder ringing and speaker phone. I am enjoying viper for Bluetooth and headphones. If I could make a request if possible break down the installer zip into multiple installers to pick and mix process people want. If it isn't possible thanks anyway.
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
To be frank, playing with speaker setting is not a fair thing. we can change speaker values in mixer paths xml... i tried changing those values but overall the stock values are the best. when we change the values the clarity is missing very badly. the stock speaker setting was well balanced with good sound. please try with your own risk changing speaker values may cause your speaker hot and malfunction :(
[G2 Android Development] jrgilbert79:
The stock values for 4.2.2 were good...and the stock values for Malladus 1.2.9 (custom 4.2.2) were great. But the stock OTA for 4.4.2 (24a) is extremely weak and I know the speaker can handle much much more. Based on using faux sound kernels in the past. I can barely hear some people on speaker during calls.
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Use a root explorer to post a copy of your /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml somewhere like paste bin and I'll make you a flash able zip to increase your speaker volume.
[G2 Android Development] perrofeo58:
here is
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
Try this

http://d-h.st/6bN

If you need it louder I can make one you can try, but I think 65 is as loud as the speaker can safely handle without distortion.

In viper with vs980 24a stock my Bluetooth profile works perfectly in car. But the head phone profile will on be yes on processing for the first song then when song skips or changes automatically it stops processing. I'm using offline music with music unlimited. This is a song application. I got a killer deal only 40 bucks per year. This never worked at all on 4.2.2. So I'm grateful but would like to figure it out.

[MENTION=4566605]SandyKick[/MENTION] thank you for the mention in the OP.

Would you mind using the direct link to my devhost files?

http://d-h.st/users/NyNe/?fld_id=34873

Or directly to the 6218 file

http://d-h.st/Nrz

The first option is preferred in case I update to 1.4 or whatever I call the new version (maybe 2.0 if it's some big change) that link won't change, but the shorter one will change with every new release.
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
yeah sure thanx :)
[G2 Android Development] a0929418971:
If I don't want to make the sound more louder, I can just pass step1 and start from step2? From this way, should I edit build. prop?
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
not required, if you just opt for sound quality you can proceed with step 2 & 3 without editing build prop. with the same output you can hear some good beats :) even after this you can install the step 1 - if you want louder music :)

Hi,

i like this mod, but i dont know what player i should choose.

Anybody tested different players?

I find every player sounds complete different, still when EQ is disabled.

Viper4Android on all 3 tests same setting - same volume

Poweramp - normal

JetAudio - louder and more bass

Pro Player - much louder and to much bass as i find

Disabled everything - EQ Off - Bass= 0 - More Audio Settings not Possible.

I prefer atm JetAudio because Interface and Sound.

Any other people feel the same? ;)
[G2 Android Development] d_Schizzo:
I have neutron player. Best experience ive ever had and very satisfied with it.

IMO the best player on market.
[G2 Android Development] smartpr1v4t3:
Neutron crashes/ need 30 seconds every time i try to open folders.

Because of that (and i rly dont like the Interface) i couldnt use it. Sound is rly good but when i have directly after start a problem i dont wanna spend much time for that :/

Edit:

I tried now this Mod with

Neutron vs JetAudio + AM3D

The 2 Apps run in Split view so it was nice for testing ;)

I tried some songs and i can live with the little difference between JetAudio and Neutron. I dont hear much difference, but i have to say i am not audiophile so it doesnt mean much :D
[G2 Android Development] jrgilbert79:
I found it works flawless with Bluetooth and music unlimited. However with headphones the viper only processes sitting the first song and then stops when it changed songs. If I pull the headphones and b play the same song after it stops it will process again until song changes when song ends oumr is skipped
[G2 Android Development] DanHidalgo:
Simply change the first step by installing Furnace 2.0 AOSP. Download FauxSound and choose Loudness preset.
[G2 Android Development] smartpr1v4t3:
After 3hours trying to get Viper4Android correctly and fine running, i uninstalled it now.

After every song Viper doesnt work anymore. I have to Plug out and in the Headphone then its working for one song.

Thousands of reboots, different players or compability modes didnt help.

No idea whats the problem.

I will give Noozxoide EIZO-rewire a try

Edit:

Noozxoide also not working. So i got the problem, i think my system sucks xD
