Thank you for screenshot. It seems screenshots are depricated in Playmarket.

So, speaking about your screenshot, what parameter should I set if I want to rise ear speaker volume? And which one if I want to rise external speaker volume?

It seems I should use SPEAKERS parameter for both ear and external speakers?

And doesn't this app allow to set different volume for ear and external speakers?

Also, as I understand, HEADPHONES parameter is responsible for stereo sound volume for headphones. HANDSET parameter is responsible for mono sound for some bluetooth gadgets.

Headphones connected to phone via AUX-out.

So, what is AUX parameter in this app?

Easy solution app - Volume Booster LG G3 (root)

Guys,

I wish I had seen [MENTION=3971563]workdowg[/MENTION] post when he mentioned this app. I had to find it on my own... :p

Anyway, it is INDEED quite handy to boost the sound volume on the LG G3:

Volume Booster LG G3 (root)

for Android 4.0 witch is the respective file of mixer paths?
[G3 General] philocritus:
has anyone tried this on stock rooted marshmallow(V30B)??
[G3 General] mjb152:
No, but I'm going to look tomorrow. I've got an 855 and the filename seems to be mixer_paths now, and the volume is set to 60.
[G3 General] mjb152:
just done it now, I've got a EUR 855 model.

I used adb to pull down the /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file, made the suggested amendments on page 1, and then pushed the file back to /sdcard (or somewhere safe).

./adb pull /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
vi mixer_paths.xml
./adb push mixer_paths.xml /sdcard/mixer_paths.xml

Then I used a file explorer to mount /system as read/write, and I copied then file from /sdcard to /system/etc, and changed permissions to 644.

Rebooted and all is back to normal volume levels.

For anyone who is doing this manually for the first time, be careful.

1. Make sure when you edit the file that the editor is not truncating the file, this happens with the standard android editors and it will mean your phone will not reboot is the file is corrupted.

2. Treble check the permissions are set to 644 , as this also stopped my phone from rebooting when I first did this on KK.
[G3 General] menace211:
Soooo does this work with MM?
[G3 General] gladiator1105:

Mount the system partition to rw first

[G3 General] gladiator1105:
i downloaded terminal emulator and wrote what u told me to and it says :

mount: operation not permitted
[G3 General] Boardwalk30:
You have to type "su" first, so that terminal emulator asks you for su permission (i'm assuming you're rooted). Once you give it su permission, then type in the command and it should work.
[G3 General] gladiator1105:
never mind it works now i had to run as root user in the text editor :D

i changed only :

783 | <ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="65" />

784 | <ctl name="RX4 Digital Volume" value="65" />

to 90 but the speaker still the same sound :S

do i need to reboot or something ?

You need reboot after changing those value

thank you so much ! works like a charm i putted it at 70 and its very loud and amazing quality
[G3 General] pandacookie:
[MENTION=1989166]spiderio[/MENTION]- Worked great using mixer_paths.xml. I only adjusted the headphones section. The original setting was at 54, if you want to put it back to that for some reason. I'd advise against placing the setting beyond 65. It gets extremely loud at 65, as it is!

That's odd. I used Root Explorer to copy the mixer_paths to the Download folder and edited using Jota+. Then I copied it back to /system/etc and let it overwrite, then rebooted. No bootloops. And I have a D851. Maybe that's because I edited only the headphones settings.

What did you do?
[G3 General] spiderio:
usually bootloop occurs because of the permission problems

ex: wrong permission, wrong owner, wrong groups,

the correct permission is chmod 00644

or in other words

root root rw r r

ah thanks ! but how can I get myself in a position to correct those permissions now from a boot loop ? is there anyway to get an adb shell ?

powering on with the volume up pressed takes me into download mode, then directly into a firmware update screen (which then does nothing), powering on with vol down takes me to a factory reset mode (which I'd rather not do)

[G3 General] lexluthor:
I did the exact edits from the OP in wordpad on my PC, copied the file back to the phone, set permissions to 0644 and I seem good. The values there aren't that high, so probably not a huge difference, but I'm pretty sure at least the headphones are a good bit louder now. I probably should have gone with a little higher values just so I was sure there was a difference, but not sure how many times I want to sweat out a possible bootloop.
[G3 General] lexluthor:
I'm honestly not sure if changing the mixer_paths.xml file on a Verizon G3 is doing anything.

I've tried various values and have the headphone values up to 80 now, but I'm honestly not hearing a huge difference.

I just swapped back the original file and I can't really tell much of a difference with the headphones volume.

Are you sure Verizon users are supposed to edit mixer_paths.xml and not mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml?

EDIT: Ok, for Verizon (at least for headphones), it's DEFINITELY the mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml file that makes a difference. I cranked it up to 80 and it's a huge difference from the stock value.

[G3 General] lexluthor:
Since different files appear to work on different carriers, it would help if you told us which file and what carrier.

I spent a decent about of time on this the other day and at least on my Verizon phone for the headphone volume, only the mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml affects it. I made changes to mixer_paths.xml first and thought maybe there was a subtle difference, but I couldn't really tell, then I changed mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml and it was obvious immediately that it was having an effect. I didn't test speaker volume as much, but I'd think it would be the same file that would control that.

Others have reported bootlooping their Verizon phone when editing mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml. I really don't know how it could work on 1 and not the other Verizon phone when we all have the same revision at this point.

changing volume on videos

Is there any adjustment you can make to increase the volume on videos, including those that you stream to your tv?
[G3 General] czechu01:
Ok, successfully edited the file. Works perfectly.

For those who only want to increase the volume of the headphones (which I did), you have to edit only two values in the headphones section.

In my D855 those values were in lines 864 and 865:

864 | <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="65" />

865 | <ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="65" />

In the original file I had both set to 54. I've changed them to 70 and I think I don't need more than that. Copy the file to your computer, edit it with lets say Notepad++, save, copy to the original destination folder on our phone, SET PERMISSIONS, reboot and that's it.

So for headphones only - edit only those two values.
[G3 General] lexluthor:
Congrats, but doesn't help others much unless you say which file you edited and which model phone you have.

I pretty much followed the same procedure editing the mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml file for my Verizon G3 and it worked great. It's failed for others though. I found 68 was a good number for me. Make sure to save the old file as .orig or something like that in case you ever need it.

Also, the AT&T D850 version requires you to change the mixer_paths_qcwcn file, not the other one. Rebooted and now it's working perfectly as intended.

I flashed the zip for the d851 and it worked but I'm wondering if it can go louder. I'm trying to look at the file to see what the numbers are set to but the file seems to be different from the lines the op had stated.

Just curious with this zip file what is the head phone number set to? I see most people saying 70 is the best. Is this at 65? Also did you tweak the line for the speaker volume increase as well? I'm not hearing too much of a difference. Just curious I'm very new to this. Trying to get the most out of these speakers and headset and I'm looking for loud and clear. Thanks
