[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Yes, theoretically there is a way.

You would need to be rooted, which means an unlocked bootloader.

The practical part could be a different issue. By increasing the values in the system files, the speakers might get a bit louder, but the sound is very likely to get distorted. This can technically even damage the speakers over time if somehow the audio amplifier can push more power than the speakers can handle.

So, the distortion either comes from the speakers being over-driven or the audio amplifier is clipping, basically being also over-driven.

My only suggestion would be for you to maybe rather get a "LOUDER" phone.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Urtoby:
I did it by analogy with previous versions of smartphones. You need to root and apply the new settings to the equalizer.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] this.guy.lol:
No other phones I like with root. If Sammy 21 ultra could be rooted without paying for it I'd be on that vs this phone. But I needed an upgrade from my note 9

For viper4android you can turn on fet compressor, uncheck the gain, and crank the volume right up by the way. I do this at work listening to podcasts. There is an official Google app that is suppose to increase the volume system wide if anyone didn't already know but the viper trick really puts out.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Galane:
I have an S20 (just the S20, not, plus, ultra or FE) on Metro and with the Android 12 update came the accessibility button on the right end of the navigation bar.

I want it gone, but none of the "how to's" apply to THIS phone on THIS carrier. The menus aren't like what anyone shows or writes. I cannot find any OFF SWITCH for that useless to me button. I can change what it launches, and I can make it a floating button, but I don't need or want any such thing.

If you have a plain S20 ON METRO and have figured out how to shut that button off, please do tell.

METRO loves to screw around with the UI on phones. They muck around with menus, remove options (can't change icon frame style or turn them off) and "give" you things you do not want. But switch the exact same phone to T-Mobile and it all changes, the boot screen logo, system apps, menus, various options. It's all already in the phone for both companies. I expect with Sprint joining their party that phones since that merger have stuff for all three already loaded. This phone was on T-Mobile when I got it. Took it in, got my number switched to it. Turned off icon frames because I like the "old school" square ones with round corners. Next time the phone was restarted it went from fuchsia to purple and forced to have squared circle icons and everything else that's locked down on Metro. It's like they want to irritate people into switching to Verizon or some other company other than T-Mobile or Sprint.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jpl69:
I was going to cook a rom (based on c_shekhar's) but i'm not a cooker, i realized why you guys brick your hard drives and deal with some user complaints, that must be dificult and i thank you for your patience.

But my idea was the folowing

1- Why use htc taskmanager instead of wktask (soo much cooler)

the first thing i do after flash my device is to disable htc's and install wktask, for those how don't know try it, it's very nice.

2- Why not cook the SecondToday, Manila 2D is wonderfull and i don't want to replace it, but there are a lot of today plugins very good (i use a lot phonealarm and eficasoft GPRS(by the way i only got it working on c_shekhar's rom)

3- Biotouch.exe is (if you have the cube enabled) invocated when you drag your finger down to left to show the cube so if you don't use the cube why not replace it with secondtoday (cool hein?) and if you drag it again you'll have manila

To acomplish this you'l need:

Mortscript installed and secondtoday (off course)

Cube registry enabled

The rest is in the attachment

What's in the attachment:

VJBrisk.exe renamed Biotouch.exe

VJTarget.lnk to my mortscript

and my morscript

Backup your biotouch.exe just in case and copy the content to windows folder

P.S. you will lose the left<->right sms<->mail but you can still do it with dpad.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] c_shekhar:
I fully agree with you about wktask.

I dont use htc task manager (on my personal device). I only use wktask and I agree with you that it is amazing. Rather I have been using it for several months by now.

Secondly I dont use (on my personal device) the M2D. Instead I use combination of ultimateLaunch, rlToday and SPB Diary. Because my appointment diary is very heavy, being in Government.

Regarding remaining part of your post, I have never tried. but it sounds a very nice idea, worth trying..
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] AliasGprime:
Hello everyone. I currently have a A505W Canadian variant, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. I made the big mistake of updating to the last version of android 11 and, while I prefer android 10 for what I need the phone to do, I can't downgrade anymore. I'm trying to install, at that point, any custom rom there is. But I can't. I don't know if it's related, but every time I try to install a rom, with TWRP, I always get the error "Unable to mount '/vendor'" and the installation fail. Some rom get concidered successfully installed, by their custom installations process, but end in a boot loop. All I can do is install the stock firmware with odin. I've been on this for 3 days now, can anybody help me? That would be much appreciated. Have a nice day!

Alright, I don't exactly know what it is, but I'll check it out. Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] JuanTamqd21:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] AliasGprime:
I'm on it. I think I found one GSI rom that is working pretty well for now. I need this phone to do a very specific job. I prefers magisk 23 for this since I need magisk hide. So I tend to go with older version of android (10 or 11). Also, the lastest stock firmware was not really up to the task either (got many bugs) and I made the mistake to update my android 10 stock, which was working perfectly, to the last official version of 11, so no downgrade possible for me. I just need to find the right rom for my needs now.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] jnolanmobile:
Search XDA for the latest Frija Windows application version. Beyond that, sammobile.com is where I've pulled my provider's stock images for an upcoming downgrade attempt. You should be able find your provider's CSC easily enough elsewhere; you'll need it to pull the proper ROM.

@AliasGprime how did you unlock the bootloader on your A505W? I'm researching this and see only paid options to unlock BL and no one can reach the member who used to unlock.

EDIT: after several attempts, I did finally get the bootloader unlock menu.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] thespeedo:
Hi,

Just wanted to put this info out there for unlocking bootloader. ( This would wipe your data )

Model A505W

Steps:

Enable OEM Unlock

Power Off

Hold vol-up and vol-down and power button ( As per other tutorials and videos you have to attach charging cable but that did not work for me )

Follow instructions on screen

reboot ( It takes long to reboot as all data is going to be wiped )

Hey, how goes it eh? (did you notice the Canadian way we supposedly always speak like eh? ROFLMAO) I have same phone..SM-A505W right, GOT 1 extra sittin on the ice shelf in my igloo eh lol bah. I used Bifrost Windows 10 tool made by a great XDA Developer and had no prob downloading the XAC as my CSC original Android 9 stock Rom even though it was not what came on my phone. XAC is just an open Canadian CSC and downgraded from Android 11 no trouble at all. In the Bifrost app I just entered SM-A505W as my model and XAC as my CSC and it quickly found that original stock rom. Can ask me for any help you need if you run into problems but doubtful you will. Oh here is the link Bifrost - Samsung Firmware Downloader This fantastic tool is created by XDA Recognized Developer Zacharee1 and comes in Linux, Mac or Android versions also. SWEET!!

what you are asking is to change the resolution on a static resolution phone. It can only operate at 320x240 nothing more. You can't magically enable 640x480 without actually changing hardware.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 7seawalker:
Open comments: Your phone turned into Brick and after so many hours reading online you stumbled here.

You learned that:

1. IMS is not registered, so no matter if you flash firmware, it does not enable Volte.

2. Your friend with identical phone has Volte, but yours doesn't.

3. AT&T customer service blamed your phone company, your phone company blame your carrier.

4. Why AT&T said your phone is compatible for Volte; but yours is not working.

5. Unlocked phone doesn't work, but company sold phone works, etc.,

So, lets look at it this way.

Once you put your AT&T sim card (Volte Provisioned Sim card) into your phone, your sim card starts to talk to AT&T firmware Server, and request software download for Volte, But AT&T didn't developed such software Or intentionally rejects IMEI phones that was not sold by AT&T store; Therefore, they do not push for Volte or HD Voice download into your phone and in this case it is your samsung S10+. However, Verizon has the firmware developed and able to install into your phone for you.

Follow these steps to activate Volte on your phone S10+ Unlocked or carried sold phone (may works for other versions samsung phones)

1. Flash Firmware to Carrier Firmware SM-G975U. Tools + Firmware + Author and Credits is in this link

https://xdaforums.com/t/sm-g975u-u1-firmware-downloads-tmb-spr-vzw-tmk-u1-unbranded.3908657/

2. After flashed firmware for your phone, Reset your phone to factory setting

3. Find a Verizon Sim Card, Insert the sim card.

4. After inserted Verizon Sim Card, follow suggested instruction on your phone to restarts and resets to install software related to Verizon carrier.

5. after installation, check in settings if you have HD Voice / Wifi calling in phone settings

6. if you see HD Voice enable. Take Verizon Sim Card out

7 Insert AT&T Sim Card, and follow restarts suggested on your phone

you should have Volte / HD Voice now

Hope it helps, have a good day, United We Stand!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
So I basically read everywhere the phones camera app is even worse than what you get on other phones (hardware is still great though).

What alternatives are there, and do they have full hardware access and raw export for all cameras without compromising on image quality?

So what a basic photo app should do (I can't believe that I have to ask for something basic like this) is that I want to set a shutter speed it supposed to use. Camera app should do the exposure and adjust ISO and aperture (if there).

Then 2nd important thing (usually first but hey, google lowered the low standards even more), settings should be saved, if I get my cam out of the pocket again I don't want to dial in the settings again. Just remember it like every real camera does.

3rd is a dreamland level of feature (also normal on real cameras): setting a base shutter speed to freeze action have the camera compensate with ISO and aperture till it reaches the upper limit and raising the shutter speed at the lower limit so I don't get overexposure but always have a fast shutterspeed to freeze movement.

So are there apps out there that do this and do they get full sensor access?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
It's actually more complicated than just "hardware is great, software is crap". A lot of the technology that makes Pixels one of the best point and shoot cameras on smartphones, is actually in the google camera app (utilizing the Camera2 API). Google has recently developed a new CameraX API. Its first release was about a week ago and has a long way to go.

Unfortunately, Google has removed some of the manual settings over the years, and has moved towards intelligent processing techniques that are done automatically. For example, manual HDR modes have been removed in favor of the auto-processing used in the app.

Unless somebody develops a new app, utilizing the CameraX library extensions, you won't be finding these things you've asked for. Pixels don't have a manual mode like other phones (such has Samsung for example).

There is a new camera app that the devs behind GraphenOS have created, using the new CameraX API. Someone posted information about it recently. There's also a modified gcam mod specifically for Pixels, made by team MWP. It has some features such ISO, focus and exposure sliders (the non-beta version has more features so download that version).

The official google camera app shoots in RAW format. OpenCamera (by Mark Harman) is also a favorite for many enthusiasts. Last week a user forked it to add a few options for the Pixel 6.

So you have 3 or 4 options listed above, plus the different camera apps on the play store (such as Procam X and Manual Camera). But over the years, it seems that the official google camera app, results in the best quality (but we can now include the MWP gcam mod since it has been modified with most recent google camera versions and works with the Pixel 6/6Pro without any bugs).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
An alarming trend, smartphone camera software has never been the most useful and not its getting even worse.

No amount of AI magic is going to recognize that a now still standing person is going to do something fast the next second that I would like to capture with a shutter speed of 1/1000. Also not going to anticipate the cat jumping and me wanting to get that unblurred.

I don't care about AI processing, photo editing has nothing to do with a camera software in my opinion and should happen after the shot was taken and not during. I'm old, I do my own edits. But I would like to have the full quality sensor readout in a DNG file and no compromises on image quality.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
Similar as you, I am 65 and shooting with Canon DSLR for longer than I can remember, I always want to control everything myself. I am now shooting with an app called "ProShot" on the P6P which you can get for I think $5 from the Play Store. It almost worked like a DSLR or mirrorless. I don't care about the AI, I shoot in raw and edit all the photos in Photoshop after moving them to my computer. I think you can download it as a free trial before you made a decision.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
Have you noticed any quality differences between stock and ProShot raws on any of the 3 cameras? I remember ProShot from my S8 days.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
For raws, I don't see any difference. Jpeg is different story due to Google's AI. Anyway, download it and give a try and see the results if they are your liking.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
I'm still on the level what phone to buy for best camera experience, so I don't own it yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
I see! If just based camera hardware, you have a lot choices, Xiaomi, Samsung perhaps better than the pixel. I don't shoot with phone that much. I came from Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra to the P6P, it is because I need to root the phone to enable I can use call recorder.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
IP68 is must, Samsung S22U raws look really awful though, not much detail there, oversharpeing artifacts at raw level.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Wedding photographer here and personally i find it a breath of fresh air to just point and shoot and get something without resorting to raw and messing about in an editing package, swings and roundabouts i guess.

On a side note the aperture of the lenses on a smartphone are that wide you tend to get really fast shutter speeds anyway even with pretty mediocre light, i took a photo the other day, it was a bright'ish day with about 50% cloud and the shutter speed was 1/5814 at f2.2 using the wide angle lens.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stbxxl:
I use exclusively ProShot when shooting RAW. RAW files from the Google camera app miss information. That's why the size of its DNG files are smaller (about half) and vary from shot to shot. With RAW this should not be the case. However, ProShot only supports RAW for the default back lens like any other 3rd party app I am aware of. I hope that Google enables 3rd party access to the other 2 back lenses for RAW in the future.

In fact, my default app is now ProShot. The dev is very responsive and addressed several issues I brought up with him.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Thing is If you are going to shoot raw and disown the Google camera app then there is not much point in owning a pixel really. The whole point of a Pixel from a photography point of view is Googles computational photography, without that the camera hardware is pretty average and surpassed by a number of other phone manufacturers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bwyan Benton:
Shooting Raw on Google's camera app is giving you compressed raw files, which when compared to uncompressed raw there's virtually no difference. Unless you mess up the exposure by like 5 stops, you ain't gaining anything more by shooting Raw with a seperate app.... especially on a phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stbxxl:
I have found that the DNG files produced with Google's camera app are missing certain metadata. For example GPS location etc. The DNG file from ProShot has this info. While this is not important to everybody, it is important to me.

Additionally I prefer using ProShot since it has more manual controls, offers a histogram and allows setting separate exposure and focus points. Even when "only" shooting in JPG I find the pictures more pleasing than the ones from Google's camera app which tend to be over processed to some extend as far as I am concerned.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bwyan Benton:
When I take photos with my 6 pro and edit the RAW files in Lightroom, my GPS location is still attached after I export the image. Perhaps you should check the settings in Lightroom (if that's what you use) when exporting the photo and see if it's off. I believe by default it is off. I used proshot a lot back in the day, but now I find it totally incomparable to google camera, not to mention buggy AF. But to each their own.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stbxxl:
In my experience, the GPS location is only embedded in the JPG file that comes with the DNG file when using Google's camera app. I checked with several programs including ACDSee Ultimate (I switched from Lightroom years ago because of its better editing tools and no annual subscription). Btw, Google Photos also doesn't show the location of the DNG file but does for the JPG file.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bwyan Benton:
Interesting, I'm looking at photos I took just yesterday, dngs and they have the location info attached in Google photos. As well as photos I took a few days ago.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stbxxl:
Interesting indeed. I don't know what's different with my 6 Pro. I have never gotten location info for DNG files. When I use the 19 mm lens for RAW photos (not supported by 3rd party apps) I also copy the JPG file into ACDSee Ultimate and copy and paste its metadata into the DNG file. Not a big deal, but why is this necessary (at least for my setup)?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bwyan Benton:
I just went back to the beginning of Feb looking through photos, not all of them were dngs, but I know which ones were, and they all have my location info attached. I like to have that as well as you, so know you have me double checking and making sure lol. But for me it's all there.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p51d007:
I've always used the google camera app when I'm in a hurry. Otherwise, I use

Camera FV-5
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
Freedom of whiteblance choice, adjusting highlights and shadows, adjust sharpening and sharpening with masks....

You always gain when shooting raw...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bwyan Benton:
I know this, that's not what I said. I said by using a different camera app to shoot raw you aren't gaining any differences. You can do all the same stuff shooting Raw with Google's camera
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
Yes but you can't get the raw with the correct shutterspeed for a situation because you googles app does not have that setting.,
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bwyan Benton:
Have you ever looked at the histogram you get from Google camera app? I have nothing to complain about. It's damn near perfect. Also, you can use the sliders to adjust brightness in the camera and those also affect the raw files. The full manual controls would be a nice addition, yes, but that wasn't the main thing at topic here.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nurps:
I'm not talking about correct exposure I'm talking about that taking a shot of moving people with a shutterspeed of 1/20th is useless.

The main topic is having control, not being able to adjust shutterspeed is no control at all.
