Did you delete the original file?

Beastmode on my LG V20

Also I did flash viper first then this. Not sure it means anything, just fwiw.

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

Also, this hack or viper, not sure which, overwrites the dual speaker mod I linked too up above.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrtruckincowboy:
Not sure I trust the speaker mod that speaker is not made to have that kind of sound it could blow it
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
Do not flash the dual speaker mod, it has been confirmed to blow out the loudspeaker. The op of that thread blew his and dropped the phone for an axon7

Common sense isn't all that common
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] juanfernandez77:
I did a fresh DirtySanta install on Sprint and went to this file as my first install. i didn't delete the original file. I just copied over it and rebooted as OP instructed.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
Verizon variant here. Saved original file to a different folder. Put the new file in. Rebooted. No sound at all. Put the original file back and got rid of the new one. Rebooted. Still nothing. Had to do a backup restore to get it working again.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] juanfernandez77:
This... Can OP comment or provide any troubleshooting tips or suggestions?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thegameksk:
Im in the same boat. No sound at youtube isnt working either.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shoes22:
Tried this and it worked for me on the first try. Stock Verizon firmware/ROM and rooted. It adds back the gain boost to HiFi that the dirtysanta method process removed.

For the people who don’t have sound, just edit the three lines listed in the OP instead of downloading the replacement file, you’ll probably have better results and won’t have to deal with potential mismatched permission values on the file.

What I did was mount the system in read-write to be able to edit the file, remounted read-only when I was done, then shut the phone completely off (not reboot) and pulled the battery. When I turned it back on the MOD was active.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
Seems to have worked good on my vs995 running the modded us996 ROM and kernel. I changed the file manually because I couldn't download the xml file. Then [MENTION=5333220]shoes22[/MENTION] recommended doing it manually anyway and he made sense to me and it worked perfect, so I think that is the preferable method to use.

Also, Viper still works for google play music.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] demon28:
It may sound stupid but is this supposed to be on all the time or only when headphones are played or it's connected
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
It's on when the hifi dac is on. It doesn't effect your speaker.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leyvatron:
Dual speaker mod is good. I'm using it and its not as loud bottom firing one.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
I did a restore from a backup to get volume back. But from doing that restore (I have seen another person have this happen) I lost ability to mount system or to change permissions in root explorer to r/w. I did a list of things to get that fixed and solved that problem. Long story short, wipe system only in advanced wipe and restore ot again.

With my permissions back and able to mount as r/w in root explorer I manually changed the values and the mod is working perfectly.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

See my recent post.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] juanfernandez77:
Hey guys. I did some testing and found out that should not copy the attached OP file but instead do the edit manually as the OP instructions stated. I got the the sound working after the edits and the mod is great as other posted have confirmed.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nrod0784:
You may use the download or manually edit, but either way you need to fix permissions. If you don't, you will have no sound.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kcsevo:
I had no issues at all. I've been enjoying this mod since op introduced it. I used his xml file and changed permissions. This thing has been taking my megabooms to its max.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
This mod is definitely serious business. I used to run my volume around 50-60 to enjoy my post rock but now I'm using 30-35 with bass all the way up in viper. This mod takes the music to the next level for sure.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kcsevo:
Wow! Your ears are better than mines! I can only handle 25 and really...no more than that.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] juanfernandez77:
Which permissions are you referring to because when I used the attached mod it copied with no issues but still had no sounds. When I restored and then just edited the file it worked fine unliss I am missing something.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nrod0784:
30 at most for me haha.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

Using root Explorer of some sort, navigate to system/etc and long press on the modified file. Choose menu in the upper right. Choose permissions. Allow r/w. Change them to mirror the attached screen shots. Profit.

Edit: make sure to unmount r/w afterwards.

YES. im so nervous to root.. i just found out today root was available on my Verizon variant. i have not had such extensive root instructions in years.. one click has made me soft lol.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
It's easy. Very straight forward and if done as the instructions say there is nothing to fear. Just read through the directions several times before and pretend you are doing it each time. And just to make things even more clear and easy for you go to this link if you're on windows. I made a post to clarify the instructions a bit.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] qs504792:
is the active adb directory just where i unzip the files on my pc? or is there more to it?

"1) Copy all the files from inside the "Required Files" (Inside the unzipped "v20-root" folder) and paste it into your active ADB directory. Then copy and paste twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img to your active ADB directory."

maybe pm me so im not hijacking this thread. it would be much appreciated
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
It's just the folder with adb in it. Just a geeky way of saying it :D

If you are unsure what adb is or how to get it on your PC just watch a youtube video or two on it or do a google search. ADB is easy. Once you have the folder with adb in it just hold shift and right click with your mouse and choose "open command window here" and adb will automatically run. It's the easiest way to run adb.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] qs504792:
i have "minimal adb and fastboot" installed on my pc. maybe thats were im wrong. do i need the full SDK?

or do i just paste the files too the root folder on my pc where adb is installed? ill do some googling after this reply and stop being lazy ha
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
nah. I dont have the full sdk installed. But it wouldn't hurt to have it. As long as the you get adb to see your phone you are good to go.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LuckyColdJohnson:

Can someone install ALSAmixer and see if the "Es9018 AVC Volume" or something named similar is able to be raised/lowered while music is playing? Thanks.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mmarsie:
Question

Will this cause any headphones connected to the device to trigger high impedance mode or only cans that have the power to do so?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrtruckincowboy:
Any will, so be careful what you do you can hurt stuff with this mod not made to handle it
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] THADDIUS25:
Wow this just blew my mind, wow i difference is amazing thank you!!!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SketchyStunts:
I know! Crazy difference.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
I upgraded to 10j on my tmo variant and that update also supposedly bettered audio quality (i haven't noticed any difference). My question is, can i still use this method to increase my sound volume? I used it while i was on 10i and sounded great.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rowihel2012:
Done

Great work bro
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
Working perfectly on tmo 10j, i wonder if their is a way to increase the volume a bit on speaker. Maybe i'm growing deaf in my old age, but sometimes i have a hard time hearing people or my music.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vibrantliker:
I have been copying the file in post 1 and moving to system/etc with no problems until 10j. Now when I do on that base, I get no sound when dac is turned on.

What did you do?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
I had issues copying the files, I edited manually with permissions and it's working flawlessly.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vibrantliker:
what do you mean "with permissions"?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
I edit the file manually just like OP states at the beginning and after I'm done I set the pemissions (rw,r,r)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vibrantliker:
Got it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
:good:

[MENTION=5360958]DTDMike[/MENTION] thank you for this!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vibrantliker:
Can't believe it's just changing 2 numbers. I can also tell a big difference with the 10j update soundwise.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
It's a night and day difference. The best part about it is that you gain so much volume without sacrificing quality. AWESOME WORK!!!

Now all we need is a way to make the bottom speaker a bit louder....

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlisGelida:
Oh, that's so true +~+

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nemozilla:
it's not worling for me, now i'm stuck with no sound :/. someone help
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
I had to do a restore from a backup to get my sound back. I tried replacing the original file and changing the numbers back to No avail.

But be careful, when I did a restore it somehow messed up my system partition and I had to wipe/restore that so I could get permissions fixed for root explorer etc
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
For whatever reason both the file available to download and my backup have all 3 values set to 0 and no sound plays when HiFi is activated. Even after reboot and battery pull and checking permissions. I simply cannot get the xml file to stay on the correct values. On 10j if that matters.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Growking99:
Sorry this is off topic but can anyone please tell me how to use usb audio on my lg v20 thanks
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] metaltech:
I had the same problem. I replaced the file with the one provided and had no sound. I figured out that the file in the op is from 10i. so if you put it in the 10j rom..this is what happens. I reverted my phone back to 10i and now it works great. I'm guessing if your on 10j don't replace the file...just change the values.

[MENTION=7754358]nahepler90[/MENTION] sorry to call you back into this thread lol just read the rest of the 11 pages and see you've answered this question several times. I'm having a major issue with my audio after applying the .xml file. (Downloaded the file instead of changing manually).

Basically my phone's loudspeaker keeps making static noises whenever any audio plays. Also the speaker sounds as if it is blown. I've confirmed the speaker is NOT blown by putting it in another v20, also tried another speaker in my phone and get the same issue.

Audio from the top speaker and through the aux sound great.

I've done factory resets, wipe if System/Data/Cache/Dalvik etc..., installed multiple other ROMs, installed ROMs that include Viper/Dolby audio and the problem still persists.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
Its ok. I'm just sorry I cannot help you out completely with that. I did a google search of lg v20 speaker cracking and found a lot of people have had the same issue with the phones speaker, I have not ran into that issue with mine. From what I read it seems to be a preamp issue with the phones audio.

sorry if the link shows up twice, have had issues with copy/paste not showing up so I typed (hopefully correct) the address in manually.

But go back 1 page from the last and there is someone that seems to have fixed his issues with messing with the settings in another app. And others say they have applied an update and it is fixed.

Sorry I couldn't give you a direct fix, but hopefully it gets you in tge right direction of a fix.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tcanute:
Sorry I didn't get back with you sooner. I wanted to thank you so much with your help on looking into this with me. Unfortunately the fix from that link did not resolve my issue. You may be on-to-something though with the preamp. maybe there's a way to disable it in one of the audio .xml files?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
Is it at all volumes that you are hearing the distortion/crackling?

I'm not anywhere near smart enough with what to look for in the xml files or with what to do in those files. If your phone is still under warranty you might want to look into restoring stock and getting a replacement? If you have one of the few providers that have a kdz available to revert that is.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tcanute:
the distortion/crackling is indeed heard at all volumes. And I have At&t and was really sad to see there is not a kdz file for them :( I feel like flashing to manufacture stock might fix the problem as it seems like a hardware bug.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
Sorry for rhe really late response, but I woukd not recommend doing a factory reste while rooted. I believe they are coming up with a method to pull the kdz image for all of devices. So I would hold out for that.

Do you have the original .xml file or the original values set for the audio?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tcanute:
I'm thinking about sending it in for warranty but with it being rooted, i'm not sure if they care and/or will charge me to replace it.

I never made a backup unfortunately because I didn't think it was a big issue in the first place. I thought if it screwed up i'll just reinstall the ROM or something. I've tried messing with some of the values but I'm not entirely sure what all to check/change.

Something else i've noticed which may-or-may not help figure out what's wrong, is when I record video from the camera or audio recorder, and listen to the playback on the computer audio sounds fine. However, if I use a screen recorder (Az Screen recorder to be exact) and record audio from say a game or youtube video playing from the phone and playback that audio on the computer, the audio is distorted and static-y just like what I hear through my phones speaker.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
So that sounds like more and more like a sound processing issue. I did a little I investigating and read that from peoples experience it is safer to do a manufacturer warranty exchange rather than taking it to the retailer. Said something along the lines of when they receive it, it gets stripped down and refurbished with no checking for root status. I would do some more searching if I were you, or wait to see of the kdz pulling method works out, revert to stock that way so there are no worries about root/warranty issues.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tcanute:
That's a good idea. I called my carrier last week and am currently waiting for my replacement to arrive but I have 10 days to ship it back or send them mine. Hopefully that 10 days will give me enough time to compare some of the files on the phone and I can get mine working again. Thanks again for all your help.

Would you be able to sometime send me over your mixer_paths_tasha.xml file? Or do you know what values to change that affect the speaker?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nahepler90:
I can send you the stock xml file, sent you a pm. As with what to edit, I am not 100% sure what to change, there are a lot of other paths you could edit but it would all be trial and error. And make sure you create a backup before doing any changes to the values. As well as having a backup speaker just in case it does get blown along the way.

I'm at a loss here. I too am looking for a working mixer paths file that enables high impedance mode. I've tried this version in the OP, but when enabling the DAC I get silence. Going back to the Snapdragon SoC my sound returns. I've battery pulled and rebooted twice - no change.

It appears that the structure of the mixer paths file hasn't changed, but everyone mentions the location of the file in /system/etc, vs. now it's in /system/vendor/etc. I've actually created a Magisk module that edits the mixer paths file.

Here is my stock based B207 rom, Simply Google. This is great for those of you who have a hard time getting the Google Apps to work and want some extra mods and features. You must have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. This rom is tested on the M2-803L. Flashing it on other versions (801L, 802L) should work but you're flashing it at your own risk. All Google Apps you can download from the Play Store have been removed from the rom. I also heavily debloated it and removed a lot of Huawei apps. Please don't ask me to add anything in as I want to keep this rom slim. Open up Tablet Manager, hit the settings icon and uncheck Smart Tune-up if Permissions Manager force closes when you open it. Please hit the Thanks button if you like the ROM.

Features & Mods:

-AdAway

-Cust Mods

-Dark M2 Theme

-Deodexed

-GBoard

-Google Play Store, Google Contacts Sync

-Heavily Debloated

-Insecure boot.img

-Marshmallow Boot Animation

-Nova Launcher

-Region Mods

-SuperSU Preinstalled

Instructions:

1. OTA or Dload to B2xx first before flashing. The ROM will not boot if you're still on anything lower than B2xx

2. Download ROM and put it on the phone's internal storage or SDCard

3. Boot into TWRP recovery.

4. Performing a factory reset using TWRP is recommended.

5. Flash the ROM

6. Reboot System

7. Profit!

Many thanks! What a nice surprise. This seems to be the first custom rom for the m8.

Appears that it is for the 802l. Would it also work for the 801l?

At the moment I have 5.1 reverted to stock. BL unlocked.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] ajsmsg78:
It should work on both versions provided you update to stock B2xx first. After someone updates to B2xx on their 802L I need them to send me two things.

1) Their cust folder so I can integrate it into the rom.

2) Their system/emui folder. There should be a folder called oversea in there which I need to integrate into the rom.
