Ive been spending a lot of time looking into the earpiece speaker on the N5 and 5X and i can say that they aren't the same part number.. but they are the same design. (externally) so while they are physically interchangeable they might actually have different internals. I plan on swapping the earpiece speakers between the two devices and doing some tests. This won't happen right away, but it will happen :p I will report back with my findings.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Jose-MXL:
RUSH!! I'm in by all means for hardware testing once you report if it made a difference.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
Well..... Looks like I was wrong. The speakers are a millimeter in size difference. See attached image. The 5x on the left, the N5 on the right. Unless someone wants to cut a bit away from their 5x it won't fit.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Jose-MXL:
I would, I know how to do machining and I could ask my HR department to allow me to use it for personal use (they would just laugh at me), but it is not something suitable for everyone, and I don't think it is worth trying.

You know, I've been thinking all this time in spending some good hours searching for speakers and earpieces from other phones to achieve what you are trying to do. Buying the ones with similar geometry and try it out. Have you seen any other candidates?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
I haven't looked at any other speaker yet, but I will see what I can find. Maybe the LG G4... Hmm..
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:
I already did it, but I can't tell about differences, as my earpiece was defective...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] mishko:
Hi! One question: Will this mod interfere with sound mods like Viper/Arise?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] antarix:
Does this mod work on any phone?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
How did you get it to fit? Did you modify the frame?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] roofrider:
To be honest, the differences between Surround, Dual Mono, TweetMod, and CrossFeed confuse me. A part of it is going over my head, so I'm not able to decide which would suit my usage best. Of course I can try them all, but I won't do it unless I have a clear understanding of at least the basic differences between these mods. Can someone put it across in layman's terms?

I'm currently using Tweetmod_V2_vol88.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
Surround will make the earpiece speaker act as the left, and the main speaker will act as the right.

Dual mono will push both left and right signals to both speakers (fav)

Tweeter mod will put a highpass filter (high frequency only) on the earpiece speaker while "i believe" delivering a dual mono experience.

Crossfade, im not sure. I must have missed that one..

[MENTION=5940484]Jose-MXL[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4346512]sshafranco[/MENTION] sound about right?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:
No, it's a straight swap. N5X one has metal chassis, while N5 is made in black plastic. Same dimensions, the worst part was to detach the security sticker without damaging it...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
I was in both phones last night, my 5x is not metal it's plactic in the spot for the speaker and its thinner and shorter than the n5's. If you look at the picture I posted the size difference between the two speakers is significant. On my device it would require cutting the plastic frame that is attached to the back side of the screen in order to make it work.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:
Mine was made in metal with some tissue on the holes, while the replacement was all in black plastic without tissue. Even the printed number was different, but it had the same dimension.

I have an H791...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] k.s.deviate:
I dont think you had an N5 speaker than, sounds like you got a 5x replacement speaker.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] OneDon:
Have this same mod on my n5 glad to see it on the 5x gonna give it a shot, I can bet I can make it sound even better with v4a
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] myawan:

Is there any possibility to make the top speaker the left speaker and bottom right?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Javi22:
This is awesome, thank you so much

However I wonder if eventually this could be prejudicial for the top speaker as it was not designed for this?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] m4ssnet:
Tried for the first time this mod with your last version posted "DualMonoV2", and I must say, wow, finally the audio it's balanced and never distorted.

I don't hear the upper speaker (or maybe it's in a lower volume that i can't hear), but already with the balancing, it's a great great improvement. Thanks and I'll follow updates now :cool:

someone has used the dual speaker mod in nexus 5x with android 7.0 (N) preview?

Yes I have used the original sshafranco build and it works. I also used an early experimental build of Jose which also worked.

[MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION] thank you for this wonderful mod, I tried installing the viper driver wouldn't stick on reboot, so I installed ViPERAtmos 5.5 Sony Beats Edition.zip from here

and the front speakers have never sounded so good.

Has anyone tried this on Android N developer 3?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] colorado_al:
This is an awesome mod! The biggest gripe I've had with the N5X (That I've had for only 2 days) is the poor sound from the single speaker. This makes it sound so much better! I just extracted the mixer_paths.xml from the Nexus_5x6.0.1_Surround.zip, dropped it in the system/etc path and set the permissions. Reboot & awesome!

Thanks so much!!!

Viper4Android

How do you install it? Which .zip (of all) I tried to install viper but I can't :crying:
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] xGeoff0616:
I use this.

It includes Viper4Android as well as other audio enhancers and works perfectly fine for me on the newest android update.

The download link in the post is broken so here's a miror.

Newest one atm of this post is 7.4.2 which I am using, sounds and works great. Just make sure to have BusyBox downloaded from the playstore and installed.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] StonerSteve420:
Tried installing both versions of the 6.0.1 mods and keep getting a ".zip file was corrupt. Flash attempt failed" any help would be appreciated
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] roofrider:
Downloading via chrome? Disable data saver and download again.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] idksomuch:
I'm using it with viper4android and when playing sound, v4a is working but I don't notice much change to the top speaker. I don't think the top speaker is affected by viper.

Edit: Also, when I put my ear up against the top speaker, it does kinda sounds different compared to the actual speaker on the bottom. The sounds coming out of the top sounds a bit like they were playing inside a fish bowl or something and the mic that was recording that sound was outside the tank. AKA, it sounds a bit muffled. But that wasn't meant to be a speaker so the way it sounds is expected.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Its working for others so not sure whats causing it for you guys....extract the files and install manually...ket me know if you need help

Sometimes it still flashes even tho it says that...check it
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
I justed tested it on my Note 5 and both speakers change with Viper...its hard to tell unless theres a drastic change. If you use the convolver setting in viper the change is more obvious. I wish i had the 5x to try but hopefully i will soon...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Sangredelsalvador:
Hmm so get this. When I went to extract the files, there was nothing in there. I downloaded the files on my nexus 7 and transferred them over to my Nexus 5X via Google Drive and boom, they worked. Sounds great! Good job and thanks for your work.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] idksomuch:
I may have found a problem with the mod. After I flashed the zip, I can't seem to get Google Now to launch when saying "OK Google." Normally it launches from any screen, even when phone is locked. Now it doesn't do anything unless I'm in the Google app. I can still use voice to search for apps in the Play Store, or search vids using voice on Youtube, but OK Google launch phrase doesn't work. IDK if it's from the zip file or if its just a random problem. Maybe I'll restart my phone in a bit.

Nvm, phone just needed a restart.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] szucsgf:
This is so awesome! Thank you!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] QUEDRO:
great mod! Thank you!

Wishful thinking: anyway that we can equalize them? The bottom native speaker is much louder on mine.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Its that way on everyones....its almost impossible to equalize them because theyre different type speakers. ..i can do better tho....ill make another one and try to make it a bit better...when i have the phone it will be easier for me because i can test and listen to it...ill try anyway and you guys can let me know
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
OP updated...added another zip. Raised volume on upper [handset] speaker but very little...not sure if its going to be that noticable. I dont want to go any higher unless i can hear it myself. There may be a bit more room to go higher but im afraid of distirtion especially if using Viper until i get my 5x...Hope it helps
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] idksomuch:
I installed the new handset zip and from first impressions, I think I do notice it being louder. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to hear the difference at first since you said you raised the volume very little, but it's definitely louder. Hope you get your Nexus soon so you can experience your own great work!

Also, does anyone know why the upper speaker sounds more high-pitch? Is it because it's not a dedicated loud speaker and is also unaffected by speaker mods like V4A?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Darkknight512:
Seems like in Ex Kernel Manager with Ex Kernel installed the sound settings can independently control the speakers. Headphone gain sets the earpeice speaker as well as the earphone jack gain while Speaker gain sets the actual loudspeakers volume. Looks like the headphone amp is repurposed for the earpeice.

Headphone at +3 and speaker at -5 sounds about right, if we can do separate EQ for each output to kill some of the shrill on the earpeice that would be great but if not I think this setup I have works well. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] necoritol:

can you make the stereo sound position reverse though? currently the top speaker is right side and bottom is left side
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] reddv1:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] delgado83:
Just a heads up. It works on CM13.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Dont go below 84 and above 90. I dont have the phone yet so cant test but going past those values will cause issues on other phones. Scroll down about 3/4 of the way down....

I've flashed the 6.0.1 surround mod or the Dual Mono mod via TWRP on my stock/decrypted N5X running N DP3. Neither worked for me. How'd you get it to work w/o root?

I'm not running DP3 anymore, but I can tell you I was rooted using SuperSU 2.72 BETA.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] StonerSteve420:
That did the trick. I've noticed it working somewhat. This isn't going to break my top speaker will it?? Also anyone have issues with the louder version I'm tempted to try it
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Predatorhaze:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] jasonbiggs:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Ben8200:
Hey, first of all thank you very much for this mod!

Anyone else hear a strange noise from the upper speaker (like Shh..)?

I have Android N DP3.

By the way, which equalizer do you recommend to use?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Ferdimage:
Louder is fine no distortion, The tweeter version does have distortion for me though.

But using V4a makes a huge difference with Atmos Gui
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] StonerSteve420:
I tried flashing the V4a but every time I open the app it tells me to install the drivers I do that than it tells me to reboot and I do but it keeps telling me to install the drivers again

Hi! If you don't mind me asking, will this risk breaking the top speaker just because this forces the phone to play sound at a much higher volume? I'm just scared this would break my speaker in the long run.

Installation Help

Hey dude,

I assume the 6.0 and 6.0.1 stands for the android version, my nexus is on 6.0.1 and i downloaded both the files Surround Sound and Surround Sound Louder and flashed them on my phone.

Worked fine Speaker is activated but not as loud as the other one. So my question is wether I have to flash the file from the 6.0 section called Upper Speaker Louder or is there a different way?

I just flashed it over via twrp, then the date switched to 28.8.16 and now it works !

The top speaker is almost as loud as the bottom speaker. I still dont feel a huge different to the sound thought, probably because they sound the same actually.

But yeah, great work, it's impressive that this works.

Sounds like this is working on Android N for some people. I had this mod working well on Marshmallow, very useful as my main speaker has stopped working.
