just to be sure im doing this right, I took the mixer paths tavil.xml file from the zip, number 2 i wanted, and copied and replaced original in system/vendor/etc file, changed permissions to original which was 0644. Is that correct in what im doing? thanks.

Can someone please tell me which lines are edited in the given file?

I just felt even using the option 2 = "Don't hurt me" (Good DAC SQ For Low Impedance Headphones/AUX) crackles in full volume.

Using Senheisser CX3.00 and Audio Technica COR150 (which never crackles at high volumes) been using the same even on HTC 10 with modded volume and it sustains great level of volume!

Hello! I'm on stock oreo rom without root. I have very sensitive ath e40 in ear monitors , used them with the high impedance mode, turned on by sennhieser hd 598. I get a continuous hiss during all the songs. the quality otherwise is just superb- more balanced , more punchy, wider soundstage! Can any of the mods give me the required quality without hiss? has anyone confirmed ? I've purchesed uapp which was a bit better than stock but still cant match the high impedance mode!

Just to make sure... If I understand this correctly if I use option 2 for example I get:

- Hi-Fi DAC (SABRE 9218P) is enabled even when using low-impedance headphones like the cheap-o ones that come with other phones or the included B&O headphones.

- Volume Boost when using Hi-Fi DAC mode

Correct?

What would I need to modify in the file to remove the volume boost? Using option 2 when i set volume to 30/75 it's almost too loud already (with included B&O headphones) and I'm afraid setting it to 60-70 accidentally would seriously hurt my ears ^^

Is this mod just increasing gain? Or is it actually activating High impedance mode? Seems it's just either gain or putting it to aux mode.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
This one definitely activates High Impedence Mode. You can prove it with the LG Hi Fi status app. Same dev:

[FIX] HIGH IMPEDENCE MODE ALL THE TIME

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/themes/fix-impedance-mode-time-t3729043

If you're not sure if the mods in this thread also do that, use the Hi Fi status app to check. ;)
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Ahhh ok.

I would try this but I am very confused by the names.

If I just want to force HIM and only that, what should I pick?

I own Audio-Technica, it's 50 ohms, but on my T-Mobile v30, it don't kick in till after maybe 7 songs at 5minutes each. I have to pull out my headphones.

I know the T-Mobile version does not show what mode, but I can tell due to the change in volume.

Edit, so use the link you gave and not the ones in this thread?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
No, not necessarily. That link I gave was [MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION]'s first effort, which was to force HIM. This was a more refined project to give users more choice.

Option 1 is if you want to revert back to stock, it seems. "No mods".

I think option 2 is just HIM -- but done in a better way after more research. Call it V2.0 from the original mod.

Option 5 is just dual speaker mode -- where the earpiece speaker is used as 2nd stereo speaker to complement the bottom speaker. Some people really like that, some people don't.

The remaining options then either give more volume + HIM, or more volume + dual speaker mode or more volume + HIM + dual speaker mode. You choose the combination you want.

At least that's how I interpret it. Anyone else feel free to chime in if you know differently.

EDIT: I corrected something from my original list.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Ahhhh ok
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
I just re-read what I wrote and corrected something. I think just like option 2 is just HIM, I think option 5 is just dual speaker mode. (Originally I had said it was dual speaker mode + HIM). But then all the other options are stil various combinations of those.

Please help!
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
My bet is that it's working. You just aren't seeing HIM due to being under 50 ohms. I'm assuming you are looking at the app on play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptrio.hi_fi_status

If your looking in device settings then no, you will not see a change.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akanealw:
Can we get a confirmation on this? I was also assuming that the hi-fi status app would show high impedance mode active with this mod. I used #6.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TotallyAnxious:
Well the HiFi status app is probably looking for ohm levels and has the stock values of the phone. This mod changes the ohm value needed to trigger it. Though you can also just listen to see if there's a sound difference lol

Only audiophiles are weird enough to want more notifications.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alantay11:
If I use 1 does it somehow make the dac work if it didn't before? My default mixer is a few bytes larger than the zips. When I use 2 I can't tell if it sounds better or not either, only way louder.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
My interpretation of the options:
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alantay11:
Yeah I chose 2 to test out based on your interpretation and it did sound louder. If you put it on stock and toggle dac in settings do you hear a noticeable difference? No matter what I do I can't seem to hear it. I've tried with both the included earphones and sennheiser's cx 5.00 on both flac files in the stock music player and just youtube.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gazzacbr:
I have same Sennheiser's and dac on off makes no difference. They are less than 50ohms. They do sound pretty good anyway.

Bought some soundmagic e80c +50ohms and dac on off is like chalk and cheese.

Amazing clear sound.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
EDIT: MAYBE YOU ARE USING THE WRONG OPTION?

I thought at first you were complaining the upper speaker in dual speaker mode was not loud enough. Then I realized you were saying there was no sound at all from the upper speaker. I think you are not understanding the options.

4 = "I am Death Incarnate!", (Very Loud For All Headphones ) - NO DUAL SPEAKER MODE, JUST LOUDEST VOLUME FOR HEADPHONES

5 = "I'm too young to die", (Dual Speaker Mod by [MENTION=7047928]Dante63[/MENTION] only)- DUAL SPEAKER MODE ONLY

6 = "Hey, not too rough" (DS + Good DAC SQ For Low Impedance Headphones/AUX)

7 = "Hurt me plenty" (DS + Loud For All Headphones )- DUAL SPEAKER MODE + MORE VOLUME FOR HEADPHONES

8 "Nightmare!" (DS + Very Loud For All Headphones)- DUAL SPEAKER MODE + LOUDEST VOLUME FOR HEADPHONES

#4 (which you are using) is NOT dual speaker mode and is not intended to be dual speaker mode.

What you are asking for is #7 or #8. Dual Speaker mode + loud/loudest for all headphones. You probably want #8, since you like the "loudest" volume of #4.

__________

ORIGINAL ANSWER, WHICH MAY HELP OTHERS

If you're talking about the volume of sound from the upper "speaker" in dual speaker mode... In the options that allow dual speaker mode, the problem is that's really the earpiece, that you put to your ear for a phone call.

When used normally for phone calls, it's not really supposed to be very loud at all. In dual speaker mode, this mod turns out into a second "stereo" speaker -- but not intended to be that way by LG.

If you make it any "louder" than what this mod does, you're probably going to blow the speaker. Ruin it. It's already not being used for what is really intended.

I use dual speaker mode, but I know there are limits.

Accept it for what it is, a useful gimmick to get sound coming from somewhere else than just the bottom external speaker.

Can someone please confirm Mod file 3 is the one to use if I want to enable 50OHM HIM mode.

Am I correct in guessing Mod file 4 is the same as 3 but with increased volume limit ?

Also I would like set the volume limit from the default max of 75 to 50 for safety. I think it can be done by editing the XML file. Any guidance on this will be greatly appreciated.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
#2 is HIM.

#3 is HIM but just louder, I think.

#4 is HIM and LOUDEST.

I'm personally using #6 (dual speaker + HIM) -- but installed through

this Magisk mod.

( [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION], please correct me if I'm wrong. The audio portion of your mod is basically #6, right?)

My interpretation of the options:

________________________

Are you confusing the maximum number of steps (75 steps = 100% volume) with the amount of volume? Just turn it down to 50. "50" would be 2/3 maximum audio. There are Magisk modules that can change the number of steps to whatever you want. 100 steps = 100 volume would be less confusing to some people. ;) Some people thought that 75 steps meant LG was somehow limiting users to only 75% audio...

So, please clarify exactly what you mean? I'm confused because up at top you seem to asking for the VERY loudest audio possible (option #4), but then are asking to lower the audio. :rolleyes:
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Arshk:
Sorry for lack of clarity. Let me try again please.

First of all I wanted to know which file should be used to achieve Full HIM mode - the 50 OHM mode that is automatically enabled only when you insert headphones with at least 50 OHM value. - biggest volume gain enabled.

There is another mode that is below HIM gain level and above the standard HiFi - AUX mode.

I believe that mod 2 is the AUX mode and not the HIM mode as you interpret. It even states AUX in the description line.

It is more likely that mod 3-4 are actually HIM mode.

What I’m not sure is how exactly OmegaWhiskey differentiates them. Has he limited the max possible volume gain in Mod 3 and possibly boosted it in Mod 4 ?

I wanted a better understanding workings of these two mods. For now I have gone with mod 4 and I get the impression it has more power as bass sounds tighter and the sound overall is fuller.

Maybe it is the Full HIM mode as implemented by the the phone automatically.

My other request was to do with how I can limit the maximum volume I can increase on the v30.

Using the mod 4 file, increasing the volume to 30 is very loud and above that probably is dangerous to my hearing and possibly damaging to the headphones.

What I was looking for was a way to lock the volume so that it stops around 35-40 and not reach 75. I thought maybe editing of the mod XML file might achieve this.

Ideal solution would be like the one implemented by LG already. When the phone auto detects and enables the Aux or HIM mode it also automatically drops the volume down for safety. ie there is a safety starting volume level for Aux and HIM mode.

It accordingly drops the starting default volume of HIM mode even lower than AUX mode as it is that much louder.

Hope this is more clear. You help is appreciated.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
Yes, I know about aux mode. But, I believe #2 is HIM, but says "headphones/aux" (not "aux mode") because it's talking about connecting to an aux input like a car stereo. In a later post, [MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] talks about adding #3 and #4:

He infers #2 is HIM, because of the low impedance reference in the description.

No, because #2 SPECIFICALLY mentions "Good DAC SQ for low impedance", whereas #3 and #4 do not. They seem to be add-ons to #2 -- same as #2, just more volume. But #2 is the one that activates the HIM mode in the first place.

If #2 didn't activate the HIM mode for the DAC, then the DAC part would be mentioned in #3 or #4 -- at whichever stage it was activated. Thus, it's done in #2, and #3 & #4 or REALLY just louder versions of #2 (with more volume, most volume).

I may be wrong, but that's my interpretation. It's the one that makes most sense. I admit I am not 100% certain -- but #2 is the one that mentions the DAC, while #3 and #4 do not. Someone like [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION] or [MENTION=268645] Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] could answer your question better.

I do know I have HIM mode enabled even for less than 50 ohms because I am using [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION] mod.

I understand now what you want, but the only suggestion I have then is to use #2 or #3, instead of #4. Since #4 seems to be #2 but with loudest volume.

Yes, with these mods you do often have to turn down the volume:

[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Arshk:
Thanks for your help - especially your efforts in making the rooting guide.

Now I’m more convinced Mod2 is Aux mode and Mod3 is the equivalent of the phones High Impedance Mode (HIM) that is auto triggered by 50+ohm headphones for two reasons.

1. Mod3 drives harder than Mod2. Aux is less louder than HIM by design.

2. Mod2 description clearly spells it out -

Good DAC SQ For

Low

Impedance Headphones/AUX.

NOT what is required to run High Impedance Headphones.

ie NOT HIM mode.

Mod2 is AUX mode equivalent that is auto triggered by 32 OHM.

I’m guessing Mod4 is a custom version of the HIM mode that Mod3 represents. Going by the description it’s supposedly same as Mod3 but Louder ie modified Mod3.

I decided to stick with Mod3 over 4 after testing as i sensed some improvements with it. I couldn’t determine any real difference in loudness between the two but felt the bass was stronger with Mod3 which I preferred.

I have very sensitive audiophile multi BA earphones with low Impedance that pick up lot of detail and max volume of 30/75 is all I can handle. Plenty of power left.

I would also like to share with others a handy app that meets the other functional need I inquired about.

It allows you to create individual custom headphone profiles - “Precise Volume”.

It does exactly what I was looking for. You can create profiles with a default starting and a maximum volume level per headphone profile.

On inserting your headphone into the jack, a pop up asks you to select a headphone profile. Very neat.

*EDIT UPDATE*

Sorry to read WhiskeyOmega has made decision to remove the files. It will be a loss to the community.

To have people referring to the mod files as the “WhiskeyOmega mod files” is respect of the highest imo.

A community that you've been a member of for one week. You called him "immature" on head-fi and said you wanted to upload his files there anyway. And it was only coding? Let's see what you can do hotshot.

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/lg-v30.858933/page-329#post-14760932

Hypocrite.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Arshk:
You are being over being over dramatic like a woman. Selectively mentioning my words. I have nothing to hide.

“I just checked the XDA post. Its a shame he has come to such a sudden decision and a bit immature IMO. Not like he was still actively developing it or was all his own coding work from ground up - a mod/edit. Everyone was referring to the Mod as the “WhiskeyOmega mod” and I don’t know how much more respect you can have than that.”

Yes I thought action was rash to remove files when WhiskeyOmega has got lot of deserved respect for creating and sharing these files.

If they were being shared around without his name associated than I can understand his anger but all I have ever read was “WhiskeyOmega mod files”. Credit was definitely being rightly given to him.

And if I offered to share them openly it’s not like no one else has them out there to share. They were openly available to the public domain. I thought I was being helpful to the community that might need the files in the future and I was not going to remove WhiskeyOmega’s name from the Files. Credit would have still been given to him for his work.

And Yes It’s the first time I have rooted LG V30 but I have done it before on other devices few times in the past. I suggest you get your hormones checked out.
