[Q] Removing media volume limit with headphones - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

I noticed, that media volume can be set only up to 8 steps, when headphones are connected (not to full 15 steps).
I guess it's result of questionable EU safety requirements.
Unfortunately, my headphones are not very sensitive and the volume is very low. Is there any way to remove this limitation?
Thanks in advance for any idea and help.

Install the apk as said, and if you get the warning just dismiss it and increase sound level to 100%

Thanks a lot. I did exactly as said, but the problem remains.
There is no warning, the media volume slider simply won't go beyond 8th step.

It works for me.
Which rom are you on?

Search and download "buildprop editor" or similar app from playstore... There you can easily edit the above given code.. Or if you are confident enough, you can do it manually by going to your phone's root directory using a file explorer (on your phone, no PC required)
Then go to system... It should be like
/system/build.prop
Then open it in text editor and look for the above lines and make changes...
Be careful though, because it might lead to soft bricks if you mess up the build.prop... So I suggest making a copy of the original build.prop and save in sd card

[Q] Boot animation sound

Hey guys I need some help regarding boot animation sound. I am currently running Andromeda 2.0 which comes with SGS tools. It says that if I place a .wav file in SD/sgtools, that will play during boot up... it is not the case though. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong.
Ps: I've tried putting system volume up before rebooting but that is not the problem...

I think that the file needs to have an .oog extension

.ogg is for shutdown sound I think.

I literally answered this question not two days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932700
it was on page 2 of "themes and apps", even a brief search for "sound" would have found it for you
Thanks, sorry will search better next time.

I think you mean .ogg ...Oog is a town in Somalia.
Make sure you have to set the file to play as the startup sound with sgs tools as well, then tap apply. Just putting the file in SD/sgtools and rebooting isn't enough.

Camera Launch Noise

Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.
So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.
Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.
you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!

How to assign the Home button to turn on / off the screen?

Sorry if I ask a question wrong. Do not know much English. Searched the internet, found no answer. On my device LG 4X HD firmware CM10.2 does not provide a function awakening using the volume buttons. Buttons mechanical, as all devices, but if the other devices that I have used and use, this function can be on/off settings, LG is generally not provided! I don't understand what the reason. I tried and tried to change the files in the folder keylayout, and set the program to unlock shaking, with a proximity sensor, light sensor and so on, which are 2 minutes after switching off. Nothing happens, it is logical to assume that the device goes to sleep and shuts down everything. Although the programs I've set these permissions present phrase - not to give sleep to the device. How can assign a revival on the keys of the volume that rule?

Maybe someone has a solution? Put please keylayout folder on a replacement. Maybe except that folder should be something else in the system to rule. ROM CM 10.2. Save advance.

In fact of the matter is that through the program ButtonRemapper nothing changes. It does not see the buttons for replacement.

Established. It does not unlock the screen for no button, except Power. By the way Widgetlock does not work! This problem should be solved in the system, but I do not know what to edit and where.

[Solved] Problem with Music Player and other apps using headset

Hello Eveyone
I've been having a really strange problem (as I guess it's a problem): my music player's sound output when using a headset is really quite, like 50% of what I had on my iPhone, even when the I'm at max volume. The problem is the same when I use skype, twitch, whatever app I could use. The speakers are working fine, so I guess it's a headset connection problem.
I've used the headset given with my Huawei P7-L10 but also my beats Solo HD and the result is still the same.
Has anyone an idea or a solution to my problem?
thanks everyone

when you use the headphones you get a mesage on the screen saying that the music level could be dangerous but if you accept you can continue turning up the volume
but somewhere I read that if you access to "engeniering mode" you can change the volume parameters, the problem is that I donĀ“t know how..and nobody knows...
to access ingeniering mode press *#*#2846579159#*#*
Anyway the audio output is very low. In the b133 it improves a little , it's louder, but there's no a really big difference. Don't worry, happens to everyone .

Add in this lines a #:

Hello, is the space between the # and the rest of the line necessary or not? cause after seeing it in another post I've tried it but it made the sound a lot more quiet that what I had before and it was impossible for me to get the sound back up to its normal volume without a reset

Yeah that's what I thought although it doesn't seem to work with my device, I might give it another try when I get home from school. I've noticed that the sound Is louder when I restore than when I used that trick, but then again I might have done something wrong, I'll double check. I tried it on b126 and b133 but as I'm back on 121 I'll do that tonight.

Note 7 How to edit mixerpath Loud Sound

In the note 7 mixerpath the file has changed since the Note 4. Can anyone help on how to edit the file to make the bluetooth louder and the speaker?
The old file from Note 4 does not work due to the changes and I know that you had to change the RX1 & 2 (i believe been tooooo long) lines under speaker. I see RX command a lot so not sure if I or others who want to do the mod have to change each one (there a lot through the file unlike the old file)?
I've searched all over with a file or steps and none found for note 7.

This isn't technically to make it louder but it does exactly that imo and you get dual speaker sound. I did not create this. I can't remember who did or I'd give create.

Download FX Browser and FX Browser Root Add-on from the playstore.
Use FX Browser to navigate to System/etc and then in the upper right corner, touch the menu button and then choose mount read/write.
Afterwards, navigate to System/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml.
Touch the edit button in the upper right corner and then touch the edit button. A prompt should come up telling you that you can only save the changes if the file has read/write permission (you should from the first step).
Click on the pencil looking icon and then find. Enter <path name="headset-44.1">. Once you are at that snippet at code, look for "RX1 Digital Volume" value="76" and "RX2 Digital Volume" value="76".
Just change the "76" values to a value you are comfortable with. I use 95, which can get VERY LOUD, so be cautious if your headphones aren't very powerful. After that, reboot and profit!
(BTW, this should work with any Snapdragon 820 device, as I have had two so far (Note 7 and G5), and they both worked fine. You obviously need root for any of this to work.
