[Galaxy S 5 General] blaz1nr:
What's up everybody. This time I bring you a simple mod to increase the volume's on lollipop. What we're going to do is make some edit's in the mixer_paths.xml located in system/etc. Open in Notepad++ or editor of your choice and search for <path name="handset"> . See below for area's to edit,be careful and adjust slowly. Set permissions to 644 or rw-r-r.

Lollipop Guide: Location =system/etc

Only increase levels by a maximum of +10 to avoid speaker damage. On HPHL & HPHR raise levels slowly to avoid damage or distortion.
