some issues about XDA_UC with Energy ROM

A few weeks ago I started to use Energy ROM. Some days later a new version came and he is updating his ROMs very often.
So I learned about UC, a great thing! But there are still things I can't adjust per UC. So I ask you for help!
I'm very grateful for every tipp.
The things I don't know how to implement:
- deactivate joystick via reg file
- endkey settings (I like to deactivate my sounds and only the sounds)
- copy inks from my installed apps (is there a way to create the ink files in a special folder)
- lock config (I want to activate the screen lock when I deactivate my screen)
- softkeys (like to map the left silver key with rotate screen)
- deactivate the standard reminder option in calender
The things which doesn't run yet:

- deactivate joystick via reg file
Don't know the reg key for this one, try searching the forum or digging in the registry.
- copy inks from my installed apps (is there a way to create the ink files in a special folder)
look in the chefs central or try a search for some good ways of doing that
- endkey settings (I like to deactivate my sounds and only the sounds)
- softkeys (like to map the left silver key with rotate screen)
You mean the keys you set with Start\Settings\Personal\Buttons?
Set the keys, and export the following reg keys (or use the exporter NRG included in the ROM):

For working with your phones reg while connected with your pc may I suggest using CeRegEditor. Makes browsing the registry easy as cake, and it can also export reg keys, make cab files from reg files (and vice versa) and create XML.

Thank you very much for very detailed answer.
unfortunately I don*t have much time right now, but i will work this throu.

Speaker imbalance. Possible solution?

I made a thread previously about a speaker imbalance problem. Since that old thread was settled, I decided to make a new one with some more information about a possible fix. As I said in the previous thread that I am a serious noob only having my Android for a few days now, so go easy on me with the fancy lingo. This is a copy of what I posted in my old thread:
Greetings. I received my Nexus 6 from Amazon. It seems as though the top speaker is considerably louder than the bottom. When I flip the phone upside down, it is still the top speaker that is louder. When I turn the phone to landscape mode, it is the right speaker that it louder. I flip the orientation to where the former right speaker is now the left and vice versa. It's the same problem where the right speaker (the former left speaker) is still louder.
Motorola is advance shipping me a new N6, but in the meantime I am still tinkering with this old phone. I did discover something that caught my attention. In /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml there are a few lines that looked odd to me. I backed up the .xml file and tried to edit the orignal in ES Explorer using ES Note Editor and QuickEdit in order to set both boost values to 2. It won't allow me to save the file saying "Error occurred when trying to save file. It will not be saved. No enough space!" (yes it said "NO" enough space). I tried my heart out to figure out how to save the edited file using CHMOD in both ES Explorer and TWRP with no luck. I am thinking these reversed boost values may be the problem. BTW the headphone jack is totally fine and plays stereo with equal balance. Phone is rooted and I am using N6.ElementalX.3.0 Android version 6.0.1.

There's some information in there about some calibration but idk if it applies to your situation or not????

I've tried in Pandora and BSPlayer and not getting any noticeable difference in volume from one speaker to another. Stock, rooted, 5.1.1. What version are you on? Do you find this happens for all apps?

I tried Jet Audio and 2 random MP3 players that I DL'd from the Play Store. It also happens on Youtube. When I am on speaker phone, I get a similar but not identical problem. On speaker phone in landscape mode, the right speaker is louder. When I change orientation, the same speaker that was on the right that is now on the left is still louder. I am using N6.ElementalX.3.0 Android version 6.0.1. The problem was there when the phone was stock. I just now tried a game called Jeweled and the issue is also in that game. Just DL'd Pandora and the same. Headphones are fine with equal balance regardless of orientation. Would really like to be able to edit and save that xml file to see if that works.

If you disable the MusicFX app, does the problem persist? I've had it disabled since day 1 of my device so I don't know how much impact it could have.

Hi. Thanks for your interest. I don't know if MusicFX is part of the stock N6 ROM because I only had it stock for a few hours. However, I am running N6.Elemntalx.3.0 after a full wipe, and I don't see it installed on the system. I clicked the Apps button and don't see it there.

It never showed up in the app list for me as well but it did exist. I disabled it via titanium backup (freeze method).
It may not even have any effect on this for you. I'm just trying to think of why my device would behave differently than yours.

I downloaded Titanium Backup. Hope I did it right, although it does seem fool proof, but I clicked on Backup/Restore and to see all my apps. I looked for MusicFX and didn't see it.

1-800-668-6765 They were somewhere in Central America. Mine was literally a few hours old when I called them.

Same issue here.
The top speaker (earpiece) is slightly louder in all orientations (and applications) than the bottom speaker.

I've reversed the values highlighted in OP.
The result is balanced stereo.
I've also changed all instances of "BOOST Right CH Select" to 2.
Also
Code:

<ctl name="BOOST earpiece mode" value="Off" />
<!-- Enable Mixer to power up Left IC -->
<ctl name="BOOST_STUB Left Mixer left" value="1" />
<ctl name="BOOST_STUB Right Mixer right" value="0" />
<!-- select (l + r)/2 -->
<ctl name="BOOST Left Ch Select" value="1" />
<!-- bypass dsp -->
<ctl name="BOOST ENABLE Spkr Left Prot" value="1" />
</path>
The default value of the above was "3"
Changed to "1"
Now handset speaker [Top] is actually balanced and louder/clearer while in call.
ROM: crDroid 6.0.1
Can someone else try these values and confirm?

VERY NICE. Glad someone finally tried. In the second set of code, was everything that is now set to 1 formally set at 3? You said "I've also changed all instances of "BOOST Right CH Select" to 2.." Were there any more instances other than the ones in the OP? Also, why is this line still set to zero?
<ctl name="BOOST_STUB Right Mixer right" value="0" />
I would try it but as I said in the OP I couldn't save the .xml file. I said this: "It won't allow me to save the file saying "Error occurred when trying to save file. It will not be saved. No enough space!" (yes it said "NO" enough space). I tried my heart out to figure out how to save the edited file using CHMOD in both ES Explorer and TWRP with no luck." If I knew how to do this I could try. Can you tell me how in language a noob would understand?

Make sure you Mount system first before trying to edit the file.
I used the built in cyanogen file manager in my ROM (with root permission, of course) to locate, open and edit the file.
As for the zero in handset code, phonecalls use left channel, so right channel isn't needed. I did not modify that instance.
Just take a look at your file (since you haven't been able to modify it) and you should see the difference.
I didn't make a backup of mine.... I'm risky like that.
Edit::
I also changed BOOST earpiece mode to "Off"
Again... EDIT:
Make sure you reboot to test whatever changes you made.
A simple way to test is using Power Amp, playing a song you know is fairly balanced, and changing the Left/Right balance wheel while track is playing and listen for volume level differences. This is how I checked to 'hear' if the bottom speaker was now giving the proper output.
Before you make the balance change, however, you can use power amp the same way, but toggle the MONO switch.
The bottom speaker will become noticeably louder and match the volume level of the top. Its actually quite a drastic difference.

Unfortunately I can't seem to mount the system directory. I went to MOUNT in TWRP, clicked system but when I rebooted to the bootloader or into android it was no longet mounted. I tried these commands below and it looked like it worked but I still wasn't able to save the .xml file. From the Play sore I installed "Mount /system RO/RW [ROOT]" and got a message saying "You're device may not be rooted or is incompatible!". I tried "Mount system rw" from the Play sore and it acted like it worked but I still can't save the .xml file. After these errors, just to double check, I rebooted into TWRP and the /system folder wasn't mounted.
Code:
Connect your phone to the computer. (Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone)
Open CMD/Terminal on your PC.
Windows: CTRL + R, then type cmd.
Ubuntu: CTRL + ALT + T.
Mac: Navigate to /Applications/Utilities/ and double-click on Terminal.
Type this:
adb shell
su
Choose one: (for security mount /system back to RO when finished)
Mount system RW: mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

ERM.. No.
Mounting in TWRP is only for TWRP.
1) Open es file explorer
2) Swipe in from left: under tools
Toggle root and hidden files
3) go to local: / Device
4) navigate to:
System/etc
5) tap mixer_paths.xml: open with ES Note editor
6) scroll down until you find speaker section
7) tap on the edit icon in upper right of screen
8) make modification
9) press back: save the file
10) reboot and test

That was the first thing I tried days ago. From the OP - "I backed up the .xml file and tried to edit the orignal in ES Explorer using ES Note Editor and QuickEdit in order to set both boost values to 2. It won't allow me to save the file saying "Error occurred when trying to save file. It will not be saved. No enough space!" (yes it said "NO" enough space)."
The phone and the ROM install were brand new when I tried it. Just a few hours old. It's a 64gn model with like well over 55gb left.

This is what happens when I try to save the file in ES Explorer. I think I may have to make another thread in order for me to learn how to edit this file.

OK. Download the attached file. Rename it (remove the .zip) its not actually zipped.
Boot into TWRP, mount system, go to advanced and open file manager.
Copy this .XML to /system/etc and then chmod the XML to 0644.
Reboot to system.

You're a bloody genius brother. Followed your directions and it worked perfectly. THANK SO MUCH!!
I did find this little jewel that I was itching to try once I figured out how to save the .xml file. I changed these two settings from 84 to 90 (they are about one "phone page" down). Now my headphones are much louder. I just tried this a few minutes ago and played an audio file for like a minute so I can't say I have tested it thoroughly. However the difference is amazing. 90 seems good but I am afraid of going higher.
Code:
<ctl name="Voip Dtx Mode" value="0" />
<ctl name="TTY Mode" value="OFF" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT1 Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT2 Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT3 Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT4 Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />

Galaxy S5 low audio notes FIX (Cyanogenmod 13/14) Step by step.

Hi, I'm here with a solution for the low audio notes on Samsung Galaxy S5 running cyanogenmod 13 or 14, also works on 14.1.
I have the SM-G900M version, I don't know if this works on the other versions.
Well, to increase volume on audio notes (like when you record in Whatsapp) first you have to:
1- Download a file browser. I download ES File Explorer File Manager.
2- Then activate root on: Settings > Developer options* > Root Acces > Apps and ADB''
*You can activate developer clicking many times on : ''Settings > About Phone > Build number''
3- Go to ES File Explorer and activate ''Root Explorer'' and ''Show Hidden Files''. Then go to Settings (in the app) and in Home Directory select '' / '' click ''Ok''
4- ''App menu > Home'' and select the folder ''etc'' the scroll down and select the file ''mixer_paths.xml'' and open it with Es Note Editor.
5- Scroll down until you see <!-- Recording Scenario -->
6- Then change the values as I have them here :
<!-- Recording Scenario -->

7- Save the changes, go back and reboot.
8- If is to loud, or low, you can change the values that I put in ''130'', if you put instead of ''130'', ''90'' the recording audios will be hear more low.

You're welcome!! :good:

Woah, nice, but why does miine show zero everywhere?
I have A.R.I.S.E sound mod and my problem is:
- Low mic (other people can hardly here when I make calls)
- Loud speaker (notifications, alarms etc are super loud)
Thanks a lot

Hi, i don't really know because i'm not a developer. But try increasing the values you've there, first make a backup of that code, and then try.

thanks dude, It worked perfectly, i ****ing love u

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to specifically increase the earbuds in call volume? Thank you

Can anyone show me how to boost microphone in video recording? All other things are working, but when I record a video my microphone sound is very, very low. What I have to edit?
Thanks.

Man, you are insane, I've been looking for this for a long time! Thank you so much!
I find 117 instead of 130 more to my taste.
I wonder if there's a way to control also the whatsapp video calls mic gain...

It works! My G900M S5 was in a lower voice and after change the values now fixed it. Thanks

Is this fix S5 exclusive? I have the same low mic volume issue on my S4 since the last update of LOS. It used to work fine in previous versions.

Great fix
I have ressurection Remix ROM on an SM-GT900T Galaxy S5 and Voice recordings and WhatsApp Voice recording were low, I applied your fix to only the three values you suggested at 130 and edited them to 120 and the results were excellent.
Thanks

I'm using Galaxy S5 g900m (klte) and I'm having the same issue, but it's not on Cyanogenmod, it's on LineageOS 15.1 Oreo.
When you record audio and send it via Whatsapp, Telegram, the sound is too low compared to the Stock ROM.
It happens when you listen to the audio as well. Everything seems to be very low, even if you put eveything 100%

mixer_paths.xml doesn't exist on lineageOS

Anyone?Low in call volume

Hi,
I am facing a problem. The volume on calls is very low, and I barely can hear the other person.
Any help on this subject?

I have the same problem too mi5 64gb miui 9

Mi5's in call voice quality is much better and louder in VoLTE networks as compared to 3G networks

Low call volume
I had the same problem so i searched around and could not find any directly answering this problem. Had the problem before on my note 2 and was able to correct it by editing files in root. So i searched for which files to look at and I think I finally got it to work. BTW im on eu ROM. Was not rooted initially but was on TWRP.
1.) Searched for superSU
2.) Booted to TWRP recovery and flashed for root access
3.) Opened ES file explorer. Press tab on the left side and look for root explorer and enabled it by short press(allow when prompted).
4.) Long press on root explorer and a prompt will appear with selection. Select Mount R/W (2nd to the last option)
5.) Another prompt will appear with the directory on the left side and RO or RW option on the right. Look for /system and change it to RW.
6.) Go to main screen and press left tab again and under Local you will see Device. Select it.
7.) Look for system folder then etc folder
8.) Look for mixer_paths.xml and open it using ES note editor
9.) Along the first part you will see these lines
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
10.) The default value is 84 and it actually goes up to RX8
11.) I changed the value from 84 to 93 for all of those.(RX1-RX8)
12.) Under that you will also see this:
<ctl name="DEC1 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC2 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC3 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC4 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC6 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC7 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC8 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC9 Volume" value="93" />
<ctl name="DEC10 Volume" value="93
13.) The default value for this is also 84 and as you can see above i changed mine to 93 also.
14.) By this time i pressed back and chose yes when prompted to save.
15.) Went back to the RW selection and changed /system back to RO(default)
16.) Did a reboot of the system.
17.) Checked by making a call. Sounded a little louder than before but not by much (could be placebo). So went back to ES.
18.) Did step 3 to step 7
19.) Opened mixer_paths_i2s.xml and mixer_paths_tasha.xml
20.) Changed the values similar to the ones i changed in mixer_paths.xml. Take note that on these 2 files RX1-8 may not be complete e.g RX1-RX4 only. Same thing with DEC1 volume. Anyways I just changed what was there on the first part for both files. At the end i had a value of 93 for these parts.
21.) Did steps 14-16.
When i tested this again it was definitely louder than during the first part. I asked a friend to check it out and she agrees that it definitely is louder than when we checked it the first time. I did notice it to be a bit scratchy though. Have to check with regards to movies and audio on the long run but so far it sounds ok. You could increase it to a higher value than 93 but then again that is a risk you take. Its not like you could easily get a speaker for the MI5 from your local store. Anyways thanks to @yorikkk and @drishd, for the ideas you saved my ears.?

Thx for the answer, I did what you said and I think that the volume is louder...I will keep testing. BTW, I only have mixer_paths_tasha.xml on my phone

Mi5 on which ROM?im on EU version i think 8.5.3.

Had low volume during call and even more when using the headphones for music. Noticed the volume is quite high in latest xiaomi.eu(7.11.9). High enough that I usually turn it down a bit. My JBL in-ear headphones also became too loud at full volume.

Yea, I have this issue too. The problem is the dirt is accumulated on the ear speakers. Went to the service center, i have no warranty left. Its a minor dust cleaning. It was free. It restored the original high quality loud volume afterwards.
