[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JuannTwo3:
I've been enjoying this phone quite a lot but the headphone volume seemed a bit too low for my headphones (more than enough for earbuds though).

Disclaimer: I am running Clean Rom so the file may be different on stock. Also I am not responsible for your phone bursting into flames or you becoming deaf.

I tried to do the same mixer_paths.xml mod I did on my Nexus 6. The file on the S6 is a lot more convoluted so it took a while to find since it's different between S6 variants.

The lines to modify are found on 594 and 595 of the file. The file is found at /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml

View attachment 3324789

By default it is set to 32 but I upped it to 50. Now it's more than enough to power my headphones at a good volume.

Make sure to backup the original mixer_paths.xml file. After editing make sure to set the permissions to 0644.

View attachment 3324797

EDIT: Not sure how I missed this before but I found a cleaner way that also works for the speaker. Instead of directions (for now), here's a link to my current one: https://mega.co.nz/#!ac0xCR7B!bKO5EWJOtPuowYbYjKrGawaXG_BivbJjJ3ey_1TnkzQ

Copy to /system/etc/ and change permissions as stated before.

EDIT: For the curious types, the lines to edit for speaker volume start at 2229 and 2238 for headphone volume. I do not recommend setting them much higher as you run the chance of blowing your speaker or your ears
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Tehpdub:
What program did you edit this with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JuannTwo3:
I used the Root Browser in ROM Toolbox to find the file and Turbo editor to actually go to the proper line and edit it. If you are doing this on the phone you might need to save the file on the sdcard because Turbo Editor won't save directly to the /system/etc folder. Then transfer the file to the correct directory and make the changes in permissions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Tehpdub:
Thank you sir. The deed is done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ChristopherXDA:
Nice, can I add this to my mods thread with a link here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JuannTwo3:
Sure thing, go ahead
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
Good job and great mod.

I have a question. What line or lines should be changed to increase the speaker's volume? I know the lines for the S5 but S6 is totally different.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JuannTwo3:
Posted a file with the speaker volume slightly louder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Clienterror:
The file only goes to line1598, and so does the one you posted. Out of curiosity how did you get extra lines?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
Great! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JuannTwo3:
Might be an issue with turbo editor, try a different text editor perhaps, like Quick Edit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Ginther:
HELP!

I think I screwed up.

I made a copy of my original mixer_paths.xml and saved it to my PC.

Copied your modified xml and pasted it into my system/etc and overwrote the old one.

Volume didn't seem to change so I rebooted.

Now I'm stuck on the white ATT logo boot screen.

Only thing I can think of is I didn't check or change permissions after pasting your file in.

Did that screw it up? Any way to fix it?

I can get into download mode and recovery still, it wont get past the ATT logo when trying to boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JuannTwo3:
Not changing permissions could have done that, although I am not 100% sure. I did make sure to try it on my own device before posting, and I have not run into any issues.

As far as fixing it goes, it you cannot boot at all then you may just have to flash stock firmware via ODIN, as I cannot think of any other way to do this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Ginther:
Dang it. That's what I was afraid of. I'll post back if/when I figure it out.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
What are the lines to modify for a louder speaker volume? I used your file but the volume is still not as loud as I need it.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sk8trix:
Worked perfectly for me thank you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Atomic Virus:
Bluetooth

Does this raise the volume also through Bluetooth? ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Ginther:
I'm back. Had to ODIN my phone back to stock and re-root with PingPong. All I can assume is me forgetting to double check the permissions when I overwrote the stock file with this file made it where the phone couldn't read/write something on startup and it froze on the ATT logo.

Where I'm at now...... I've backed up the stock mixer_paths.xml saved it in a safe place, then overwrote the stock file in the system/etc folder.... this time I remembered to fix permissions on the file.

The phone still works, still reboots, still plays sounds etc..... but no increase in volume.

I've looked at the xml files and see a few tweaks on lines 2229 up but none on 594/595. So now I'm confused as to which lines do what and what values to give them.

Bumping up to 50 on 594/595 was mentioned originally, but I see tweaks of:

26 up to 27 line 2229

32 up to 35 line 2231

117 up to 125 line 2237

I guess my question is, if I wanted to do it myself.....

Which line(s) in the stock file should I tweak to get my wireless bluetooth headphones and/or wireless speaker cube(s) louder?

Will that same tweak make WIRED headphones louder too?

Dont need the built in phone speaker louder.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jhordan013:
hi! anyone here can teach me how to increase the volume of bluetooth headphones or wireless speaker? i know the paths xml but i dont know how to modify what line?

Could we have the separate mods just for the different features? Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ketulharini:
Need to be rooted to use this mod?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysansone:
Here you are mate ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysansone:
Yes..root needed.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ddaggebi:
First, thank you for this wonderful mod!

Have three questions ; even with the center clock mod, does the network provider's name stays left in the lockscreen? Second, what is overlapping fix? Third, does it really need root? Autostart may need root, but mods without it doesn't need root, right?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysansone:
Hi mate. Thanks for your appreciation about me.

So..,

Q. even with the center clock mod, does the network provider's name stays left in the lockscreen?

A. The mod that I used for to edit statusbar.xml file is based on best method by Ticklefish, take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816

the result is the clock is centered, but it appears also in lockscreen

So I edited PhoneStatusBar.smali file for hide the center clock from lockscreen.

The result is the clock is centered in home screen and hide in lock screen without move network provider's name to the center of screen.

This is the best method for center clock.

Q. What is overlapping fix?

A. When the clock is centered notications overlap to the center clock, take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816

This method fix overlapping

Q. Does it really need root?

A. Yes it does

;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ddaggebi:
Wow... Thanks for the kind and specific answer!

Then can you also make a mod which completely erases network provider's name? If you can, can you please make one with Ambient Display, Power Menu, Center Clock and Battery Percent? I would really like it!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rachit995:
Advance Power Menu

What options does power menu mod contain? Does it have advance power menu (reboot) options or just profile toggles?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysansone:
What you want it's already here ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysansone:
Power menu contain power off, aeroplane mode, no ringer mode-vibrate mode-ringer mode. You can look the screenshoot. For rom stock odexed it's not possible to get reboot in power menu. It's possible only for rom deodexed. Sorry.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ddaggebi:
I meant Ambient Display+Power Menu+Center Clock+Battery Percent+'No network provider name on lockscreen'. But doesn't matter much since your choice is already great. About to use your mod with stock 5.1.1. Will give you feedback!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysansone:
'No network provider name mod not included in my mod. Sorry.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ddaggebi:
I know:) Was just curious about whether it can be made.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonysansone:
I think be possible.

You can try to edit with notepad++ the "keyguard_status_bar.xml" file inside systemui.apk/res/layout/

Decompile systemui.apk and go to systemui.apk/res/layout/keyguard_status_bar.xml

Search the string:

<com.android.keyguard.CarrierText android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceSmall" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/keyguard_carrier_text" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height_keyguard" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/keyguard_carrier_text_margin" android:layout_toStartOf="@id/system_icons_super_container" />

and change with this

<com.android.keyguard.CarrierText android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceSmall" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/keyguard_carrier_text" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/keyguard_carrier_text_margin" android:layout_toStartOf="@id/system_icons_super_container" />

Recompile.

Done

[Saygus V²] Cullenator:
While the V² may end up being an amazing phone, some of us can't wait for it to be released. (If it ever will be.) :(

This thread is for those who are looking for a phone with similar specs to the V².

Please keep this thread clean. Let's all be kind and respectful of others' opinions. :good:
[Saygus V²] shaxs:
I have been looking and looking and looking. There isnt one. This is my dream phone:

- LG G2 sized, so 5.2" with small bezels.

- Removable, high capacity battery (3000mah+)

- Removable storage or affordable 64gb size

- Built in wireless charging

- 3gb+ ram

- Newer SoC

- Good camera with OIS

Thats it. Not asking for the moon. I can find some of those things in huge 5.5" + phones like the G4. I guess I will be getting used to a big phone again.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

This is probably as close as I am going to get if the rumored specs are true: http://www.androidpit.com/nexus-5-2015-price-release-date-specs-features
[Saygus V²] Cullenator:
I hear ya, dude; I'm hoping the V2 makes it, but I can't wait unfortunately; my S3 is nearly dead. :( So yeah, we'll see. The G4 looks close, but it's way too big for me. Maybe the new Nexus will be almost as awesome as the proposed V2? We'll see.
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
Here are the features that made me pre-order the Saygus V². These are in particular order.

5" 1080p sunlight viewable screen. 2.5K resolution is overkill and just eats battery and I don't like phones with screens larger than 5".

Large removable battery.

Small bezels. This means the phone doesn't have a large footprint for it's screen size like the iPhone or Sony Z series.

64gb built in storage.

microSD slot. Dual wasn't important to me but having expandable memory was.

Optical image stabilization. It was nice that both cameras have it but I really wanted it in the main camera.

Waterproof.

Snapdragon 801.

3gb RAM.

The closest thing to this is the upcoming Galaxy S6 Active except the screen size is slightly large for my taste and it has 2.5K resolution. I can live with the built in battery if it's 3500mAh.

I was really hoping that Google would make a new version of the Nexus 5 with basically the same specs as the Nexus 6 except with a 5" 1080p screen. The only drawback to the Nexus series is that we almost definitely won't see one with a microSD card slot. I'm still surprised that Google didn't get someone to build an updated Nexus 5 yet, especially with the launch of Project Fi.

<rant>I wish the Android smartphone manufacturers (i.e. LG, OnePlus, etc) would realize that the majority of people don't want a screen over 5.5" and larger. How do I know this? Because Apple make the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus which have almost the exact same specs except for the screen size and resolution and based on this article 80% of the iPhone 6 models sold are the 4.7" version with the other 20% being the 5.5" version. If customers really wanted a smartphone with a really large screen then they'd be buying the 5.5" iPhone 6 Plus more than the 4.7" iPhone 6.</rant>
[Saygus V²] vertigo_2_20:
I originally was going to buy an S6, against my better judgement, until I found I could not buy a 128GB version, even from the AT&T store. I've considered the S5, but I can't find an unlocked 32GB version that works on 4G. I considered the Note 4, but I really don't want a phablet, and that's a lot of money to spend on a phone I feel I won't like due to its size. Also, it frustrates me that two of the main alternatives to the S6 I considered due to the S6's lack of expandable storage and removable battery are both Samsung's, so even if I did go with one of them, I would still be giving them money. Before any of this, I was looking at the Sony Xperia Z4, until that turned out to be a letdown, and then the Sony Xperia Z3, but again there is no 32GB unlocked version. Despite my hatred of Motorola, I even considered the Droid Turbo/Maxx, until I realized it lacks expandable storage. The G4 looks ok, but it's a bit large for my taste (though supposedly not as bad as other 5.5" phones), I really don't think I'd like the buttons on the back, and there are no real reviews yet of it. Not to mention it irritates me they're releasing two other "G4" versions that are nothing like the G4, but rather are stripped down junk. The Zenphone 2 is big and just seems cheap, which I get it is a cheap phone, but still. The S6 Active may end up being the closest thing to perfect, but I don't know how I'll like the physical buttons, and I think I'd rather it be less bulky so people that want the extra protection can use a case, but leave that up to the individual. I've pre-ordered the Elephone P7000, which looks like a really good phone for the price, but again, no 32GB version. Still, for the price, I can live with that for a few months until something better comes out. So many phones that are almost great, but fall short. I've been searching high and low for the past 2-3 months and it's getting tiresome. I'd love some other ideas, but I doubt anybody can point me to something I don't already know about.
[Saygus V²] hella356:
My ideal phone matches up very much the same. If Samsung released a plastic body S4 v2 with more RAM, more built-in storage, updated CPU, 5" 1080p screen with otherwise S6 qualities, UFS 2.0, etc., while retaining the S4 size/weight, removable battery, and SD slot, I'd have little hesitation buying it, even if it cost the same as the S6. Doooosen't look like they're going to do that. A phone's looks don't matter to me, and I actually prefer the plastic body for weight and toughness factors. Doesn't have to be Samsung, but I've had an S4 for two years and having handling many phones, I find it gives the best fit in my hand while having an adequate sized screen of any phone yet.

The Saygus, if it proves to be the real deal, it's actually in the right size range and is loaded with so many features (2x SD is my favorite) that it has no real competition for my needs. As it stands, I'm most likely going to have to hold my nose and get a 128GB S6, which for me has no real competition as Plan B. I have no regrets with my S4 or S2, to me they were clearly the best phones for me on the market at time of purchase. But I want to vote with my wallet against the S6 because the removal of (to me) major features, but I might not have a suitable option. Also, I'm on TMOUS and most of the decent non-carrier devices won't work with their LTE bands and I'd lose WiFi Calling, so it's pretty much between Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC, Alcatel, and Nexus. The S5 and M9 look like the next best options. The Saygus is the only outside phone under consideration at this point.
[Saygus V²] shaxs:
I have the LG G2 and at less than $200 for a new off contract phone it really is hard to beat. I considered the S5 only because it can have wireless charging added fairly easily, but the ROM support for the S5 isnt as good. But if they offered the S5 with 3gb ram, I think I would be in.
[Saygus V²] hella356:
Thanks, the G2 might be the best short-term option. TMo has refurb G2s for $228 & no money down & $9.50/month. It's the other end of the spectrum in price with the S6, amongst phones without SD and removable battery. Only 32GB is a big step down from my S4, but for daily usage it would probably be fine. Having lots of extra storage and batteries is brilliant when needed, like spending the day in an airport and having tons of locally stored music/movie choices, but most of the time as a DD can be lived without. Other negatives: a little larger and heavier, and non-AMOLED screen. On the plus side, it's got a bit better CPU and larger screen size than the S4. And a lot cheaper than the S6, S5, M9. If it had SD and removable battery, it would be a no-brainer.

I broke my S4 screen and replaced it myself with a $6 piece of glass off ebay. It's worked great considering the price, but it's more reflective and the touch input is far from perfect. It's still functional, but annoying, & $9.50/month is pretty light, so I think I'll give that a shot. They have a 15 day trial period, too. In the long run, worst case scenario, I end up with a spare phone / mini WiFi tablet that only cost $228.
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
I went through a similar decision making process except I never considered getting the Galaxy S6 after they got rid of the microSD slot, reduced the battery capacity and made it built in and didn't make it waterproof. Back in 2014 when the Galaxy S5 was released, I was also waiting for T-Mobile to release the 32gb version (even though it has expandable storage) because I was worried about running into storage issues for apps (because many apps can't be moved to a microSD card with KitKat) but none of the US carriers ever released the Galaxy S5 with 32gb. AFAIK only the international version was released with 32gb storage. Then after I learned that T-Mobile was rolling out LTE on band 12 (700 MHz block A) and the Galaxy S5 didn't support it then I wasn't interested in it anymore. Then I looked at the T-Mobile version of the Sony Xperia Z3 (which supports LTE on band 12) but those huge bezels really bothered me. It's a phone with a 5.2" screen that's almost as big as the Galaxy Note 4 which has a 5.7" screen. I decided to wait for the Xperia Z4 hoping that it would have optical image stabilization but unfortunately it didn't. Most recently I considered the HTC One M9 because it IMHO had the perfect screen size/resolution 5" 1080p, top of the line Snapdragon 810 processor, 32gb storage, microSD card slot, decent size battery but unfortunately no optical image stabilization in the camera. The Elephone P7000 looks interesting for the price but it looks like it's basically an upgraded OnePlus One but a 5.5" screen is just too big for me.
[Saygus V²] t3chfan:
Options

The ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini looks like a very good option for those of you that are running current devices that are a couple of years old, but I don't think it offers enough of an upgrade from my Z3 Compact for me to consider. But, given the expected price and general specs I think this would be a great choice for most people. There is a little bit of me that is tempted to go for this device just to scratch my 'must buy a new phone' itch!

The Nubia Z9 (not Mini or Max, confusing nomenclature!) also looks like a well specced device, but there seems to be uncertainty about whether this has an SD card slot, plus it runs the Snapdragon 810 which seems to be a rather tainted SoC from what I read everywhere.

The Sharp Aquos Xx also looks interesting, 84% screen ratio but again Snapdragon 810 and I've no idea whether Sharp make decent phones or not...
[Saygus V²] zoejif:
Any options with dual boot phones

For me the main reason to order Saygus V² was the dual boot option, with the possibility to boot from microsd card. Is anyone aware of other smartphones with this feature?
