[Sony Xperia X Performance 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.

***Tested on X Performance running Nougat. I've also got my hands on Xperia X Performance files which are pretty straight FWD see attach. Thanks [MENTION=1588980]bkk99213[/MENTION] for testing and for the file!***​

Make a backup first or if you didn't simply put the original values back (82 for speaker lines and 76 for headphones). All that can happen if you modify the wrong thing is: Your settings won't do anything or you'll have no sound, that's why a backup is ideal.

Features:

Louder Stereo Speaker sound system wide;

Louder Headphone sound;

Stereo Voice-Speaker call - NOT TESTED! Keep a backup and please let me know if it's working;

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 on recovery or 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.

In the download section you'll find:

>>Flashable! already modified "Xperia X P Getting Loud.zip" with: SPEAKER values - 84 for both RX7/RX8 and HEADPHONE values - 84 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_tasha" 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 45% of the file where you should see the path for "speaker", ctrl name RX7 and RX8 with their stock values - modify the values as you please but please don't go over 85 - sound will be too distorted;

4.2 Headphones - Go to 57% of the file - you'll see "headphones" path - ctrl name RX1 and RX2 - modify the values but anything more than 84 might be too much.

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.

*Stereo Voice-Speaker call is untested but in theory it should work, as it does on my Xperia X. I added the second channel to the routing - screenshot bellow.

**Stereo Ringtone-Speaker - WIP. I'm currently stuck so feel free to jump in and notify me via PM.

Also check this out. It's an xposed module that will disable the annoying thermal warning for the camera. No more functions disabled just because phone got a bit over skin temperature lol. http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-camera-xperia-thermal-disabler-v1-0-t3455087

Cheers and happy new year!
