[Sony Xperia X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebi673:
What's bugging me about my brand new Xperia X? The overall low volume.

These simple tweaks, this mod if you may, simply modifies a few lines from the stock audio config files which, after a reboot make your speakers louder and headphones, a bit too loud (but I didn't hear anyone complaining about Xperias for being too loud lol)!

It's for rooted users only and for me it sounds a lot better than using (possibly) unstable sound mods instead of simply adjusting the volume on some pretty decent stock drivers.

It's been tested against 34.0.A.2.301 - but it should be backwards compatible..

UPDATE:

Stereo in-call Voice-Speaker now working;

It should be compatible with N - test it with a backup at hand

- I'm on MM because of Xposed;

Stereo for Ringtone-speaker is WIP - feel free to jump in and help :p ;

Features:

Louder Stereo Speaker sound system wide;

Louder Headphone sound;

Stereo Voice-Speaker for calls;

WIP for Stereo Ringtone-speaker - I'm open to suggestions!

Customizable as you see fit! Just stick to the already explored options.

Conflict-free tweaks - no additional files added, no nothing, just some modified lines - you can trust it :p.

Installation:

By flashing the .zip with FLASHFIRE [press the red "+" button > Flash ZIP or OTA > leave the options as they are and Click on the "done arrow thingy".

Manually copying the file to /etc -

DO NOT forget to set the right permissions (RW R R).

Please take a look over the Permissions.png screenshot in case you don't know how to set them - you long click on the file, then go to properties and you'll see the permissions button.

Do it yourself - there's a guide down bellow.

Bugs: -None-

If you have ideas for this, PM me!

In the download section you'll find:

>>Flashable! already modified "Xperia X Getting Loud.zip" with: SPEAKER values - 85 for both RX7/RX8 and HEADPHONE values - 85 for RX1/RX2.

>>Flashable! Stock Values - it's the stock file unmodified.

>>NON-Flashable! zips - there you have 1 zip for the modified file and the stock one so you can place it manually via ES file explorer or the explorer of your choosing.

**And some screenshots that are pretty self explanatory showing you what modifications need to be made if you want to do it yourself.

DIY Guide (using ES File Explorer):

You're probably acquainted with ES File Explorer so it should be pretty simple. The modifications I made were done with ES (it has an built-in editor).

1. Make sure the Root Explorer toggle is On - it's located in the Tools tab as you swipe the left side of the screen;

2. Go to the root of the files where you'll see folders such as "data; dev; firmware; storage; system; etc" go to "etc" folder and scroll down till you see the mixer_paths files;

3. Open "mixer_paths_wcd9335" and at the prompt, select ES Note Editor - it's a huge file so tap right above the navigation bar! A bar with percentage should show up - it will help you navigate through the file;

4.1 Speakers - Get to 42% of the file where you should see the path for "wsa-speaker", ctrl name RX7 and RX8 with their stock values - modify the values as you please but please don't go over 86 - sound will be too distorted;

4.2 Headphones - Go to 53% of the file - you'll see "headphones-regulation" path - ctrl name RX1 and RX2 - modify the values but anything more than 85 might be too much.

4.3 New! Stereo Voice-Speaker - find the path for Voice-speaker as seen in screenshot and simply add some volume there - default is 0 - I'd advise to go lower on that speaker since the mic used for speaker calls is located near the earpiece - so values around 80-82 should be ideal.

5. Save and reboot. If you choose to modify the files on a PC make sure to set the permissions when you put the file back. Otherwise bootloops might occur.

Don't forget to hit Thanks! :)​

Cheers and happy new year!
