Is there a mod for the nexus one that actually works for increasing the volume? I'm sick of having the superior phone but the lowest volume. I can hear these flip phones alerts or playing music over industrial fans and I can hardly hear my own phone when it's quiet.
right this sucks!!! please anyone knows of any kind to increase the volume really??
as in speaker wise not by ear??
We just need to be careful with how much increase we add. People will go and start blowing up their speakers
The music player Lithium has a volume increaser, but only works whilst playing music
Many of the custom kernels you can install will include the Audio Boost hack. Take a look at Wildmonk, pershoot or intersectraven's kernels.
Umm cyanogen ROM like doubles call volume with the hack and you can't turn it up past 50% or it blows your ear hole off. Have you never tried the cyan hack? It solves this issue long ago.
I have his rom. And Froyo. I still find it very hard to hear anything on my phone. My phone is a freaking Nexus One. Why is the volume so damn low? This is embarrassing. If I need something extra then please tell me what I need to do cause enough is enough. The phone ringing is so hard to hear I damn near miss calls. Meanwhile a flip phone boost mobile outranks my phone with it's volume? Tell me someone is kidding?
mine has always been quite loud, almost annoying, with notifications, when its stock or with cyanogen
maybe try amping up the volume of the ringtone file or notification with an audio program like audacity?
i also got the same problem. the volume is too low. a lot of times i missed the notification because i can't hear it. even in quiet room.
and i stumbled into this web. androidaudiohacks.com
the guy provided an apps to crank up the volume. but it still won't work on nexus one. the guy said it's WIP though. maybe someone can take a look at that web and figured a way to do it on nexus one.
If my phone is in my pocket, I simply do not hear it ring or notify no matter how loud i have it set, period. The sound is pretty good quality-wise but i can only watch a movie with ear buds or if its absolutely silent in the room.
I tried showing off my phone to a friend, he really like the picture but didnt understand the point since we couldnt hear the damn thing!!! He said he'll stick with his stupid iphone, and based on the piss poor performance he witnessed i honestly cant blame him. It is odd that the stock volume made it through testing the way it is, it actually makes me question whether or not the finished product did in fact get tested...of course i have the exact same problem with my $2000 vaio laptop. It plays blu-ray dvd's beautifully you just cant hear anything. So im not all that upset at htc in particular, perhaps there is validity to the blowing speakers concern....

I mean on cyan 508 the volume is insanely loud. Like 60% and the speaker distorts. Maybe this was cyan 507 I'm thinking cause I remember reading him say it was too loud so he was gonna reduce it a little.
But I mean the hack was like purposely over the top loud, like silly loud.
People might not realize that if they're using the original protective pouch - it'll eat 3/4 of what the speaker puts out, because it isn't holed in the right places.
The OP might be using one?
wasn't this the same problem plaguing the g1? just wanted to point this out but the iphone can be "loud" but it actually isn't. trying talking or watching a vid in a room with more than 4 people.

what happened was cyanogen added the volume increase into his ROMs. back in cyan 5.0.7 the volume hack was so ridiculously loud that it couldnt be turned up past around 60% cause it would just kill your ears. then i remember him or someone from the team posting that they were thinking about reducing it in a next version.
so i guess i'm saying you could switch to cyan 5.0.7 if you want to see what the speaker volume really could do and how loud it was, its capable. but it seems like he reduced it in newer cyan version. and nobody wants to use an outdated version, so i guess that doesnt help you. perhaps someone could get them to increase the hack volume again.
Got a link to it? Is there a downside to going to a older version? I have cyan 6.0.0. Is there anything different from this version other than volume compared to 5.0.7?

Well all previous versions of cyanogen ROM are available, but I don't have the link handy. It's on his site or maybe even in ROM manager. If you're really gonna go thru this, I would install cyan 5.0.7. The downside is its a 2.1 based ROM, when 2.2 froyo is now the norm. But that older ROM actually had the 720p video hack working which still isn't fully available on froyo ROMs yet. So that's another advantage of using a 2.1 based cyan ROM, in addition to the audio hack it has.
I'm sure this audio hack could be applied to the new cyan ROM if someone could tell us how to do it.
I sent him a PM but no answer. Its frustrating but also apart of the game. I just want volume.

sup people, im using revolution rom and it is very good but the sound with my headset is not as good as when i was using cyanogenmod with that dsp manager that had bass boost..
is that possible in my current rom, ive read something bout voodoo an galaxy tuner but galaxy tuner just freezes when i select the sound option..
thanks in advance
Voodoo has bass boost, just download Voodoo control app from market and try if you have voodoo sound on your kernel.
If not, then flash kernel that has Voodoo sound.
Yeah, use voodoo control app and a kernel with voodoo sound. Or buy the voodoo control plus app and load the voodoo module - you need root. Voodoo has pretty nice bass boost.
Voodoo in conjunction with power amp pro.......awesome!

ok but when i open the voodoo app (plus version 1.0.5) i deont see any bass boost, all i see is headphone amplifier and some other things? where exactly should i enable this ? i need some help guys
Well, you should get the free voodoo control app from the market and flash a kernel with voodoo sound. If you want to just install the plus version of the app and load the module, you shouldn't pirate the app but buy it. If you had done that you would know that the current version of voodoo control plus is 3.0.3 and you need at least version 2.1 of the app to have the bass boost option.

Well, I remember some friends had such a problem but I'm not sure what was the solution. It's probably kernel-related.

I saw it yesterday. I just hate Beats and all their overpriced junk. Anyway, if you value quality sound you're will be more satisfied with the sgs. Its wolfson sound chip makes it one of the best DAPs out there. You just need voodoo and enable the options in the voodoo control app (did you check your inbox?). SGS just sounds amazing - I doubt that any Beats improvement in the dhd rom can make its sound chip better. Wolfson and SGS is the way to go - believe me. Almost no other phones come even close to the sgs with voodoo sound and a nice quality pair of headphones.

Well, I'm using the ROM from my signature. Anyway, voodoo is not not just "good enough" it is awesome. You should know that 50% of the sound quality comes from the Hardware and the software of the device and the quality of the music files - and the other 50% come from the headphones. The voodoo bass boost together with sennheiser ie8, for instance, will blow your mind. If you're using cheap headphones yo can use cyanogenmod or whatever and still complain. Just my 2 cents
edit: about the market - which version of the market do you use.? Are you using the new market or the old one?

So, you're using the plus version of voodoo. Did you mount the module from the app? You should be able to hear the difference and especially the bass boost

Make sure you have room in /datadata. I'm not sure if that's your problem or not, but it will prevent you from installing apps if it's filled.
I thought Boom Sound was supposed to be mini speaker loud? I notice the Beats Audio logo but my volume hasn't been spectacular. Is there a setting I'm missing, perhaps?
The example of use:
This morning, the new Man Of Steel trailer dropped and I was attempting to show off to my co-worker but it just wasn't very audible. Only air conditioning was blowing so we were pretty disappointed. You Tube streamed the trailer fine it just wasn't loud. We tried my Play Music and it wasn't loud either.
The HTC One is firmly in the VERY LOUD category.
Too loud in many instances. Have you, like, turned all volume controls up in settings?

It's the loudest smartphone speaker, either your phone is defective or your volume controls weren't all the way up.

I agree with you 100 percent we had an iPhone fanboy I was trying to showed off also and he wasn't impress ...I started another thread you can search for it and people are saying the htc capped the volume on 1.29 update and the 1.27 firmware is the loudest ...ofcourse say that to the htc one fanboy lol ...it amaze me there are dumb people can't understand what you are saying ..oh well you correct tho there are some of us that knownabout these issues on the htc one. ...by the way don't let me get started in the in call speaker volume ..not loud at all... Perhaps we need to flash 1.27..I bought this phone thinking it will blow me away on the volume dept guess not lol

I was wondering the same thing. I have not been blown away by the speakers on this phone. I got the 1.29 update almost immediately after the first boot so there is no way for me to know what it was like before that. Have you managed to find a workaround or a way to go back or enable the full volume of the speakers???
I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me at least my volume and sound quality were both excellent with 1.27 and 1.29. I often put my phone down while playing music and it fills the room. It's still miles better than my friends s4 and zl. I have to think though that even if some are having volume issues (perhaps the notorious QC issues don't just apply to the build quality), at least you're still gaining the huge advantage of stereo vs mono sound

Someplace, and I forget which forum this was in, a guy found the values needed in order to revert the sound back to as loud as before the HTC update. It was in either Faux123s kernel thread, the ARHD thread, or, Trickdroids thread. I'd advise scanning those. The only thing I remember about the post was it said change the values from 40/40 to 45/45 instead of 60/60 like some guy asked if he could do.
Or maybe that video just had very low volume anyway? Youtube video volumes are NOT normalized and if the vid was soft to being with, Youtube will just stick with that max volume. Nothing you can do with it.
Boomsound is advertised to not only be loud, but to be full as well without the screeching highs and nonexistent lows of other devices.
I've seen a couple zips around the forum for BoomSound I havnt tried them yet but I'll see if I can find em and post them here

doesn't make any difference flashing either one over 4.2.2
The zips contain /system/tfa folder from 1.27.xx builds which were based on 4.1.x hence it reverts to same sound on future 1.29.xx builds when flashed
However, in 4.2.2 these files are different and since we do not have any LOUD firmware from 4.2.2 nothing to replace ...we are stuck with what htc gives

Hello,
I just found out that when you switch the "Beats Audio" off in settings, you don't actually get a flat EQ. When you have it off, it EQ's the sound to drop the lows and highs, so that when you turn it on, you think, "That sounds so much better!" I'm an audiophile and this pisses me off. Does anyone know how to completely uninstall Beats Audio? Is it in the kernel?
Thanks,

Only some of the files I found not in the folder they say but in /etc. I deleted the ones that existed there and nada. I also found one file with beats in it in the /system/lib and deleted it and nada. I also tried unarchiving the settings.apk from system/app and seeing if I could find something to do with beats. I found this in the AndroidManifest.xml.

I never specifically stated that I hate beats or anything to that effect. I simply want to be able to choose whether I have my music corrupted or not.
And, you don't hear how it detrimentally affects your music unless you listen through quality headphones.
Bump.

Anyone?
Are you sure that having Beats off cuts the mids and highs? Because when I turned it off they were appreciably better, although that could be a) the headphones I was using and b) that the bass boost on Beats is much too much for certain types of music and so even if it does boost the mids and highs you don't notice it.
I think that it does although there is no way to know for sure, but I still would like to completely remove it.

Just keep it off. Or you can use the Phillips Headset app! It actually works quite well in conjunction with beats if you put the right settings

Beats is a gimmick by making the OFF mode sound like garbage and the "correcting" what it messed up in the on mode. I ran a file consisting of pink noise through it and can honestly say the off mode does exactly what the OP says. For this reason Alone I will not update my AT&T GS3 to KitKat via the new OTA. It has the Beats Audio virus baked into the ROM and I haven't figured out to scrub it from the ROM. Not only can I not scrub it but it renders the far superior Viper4Android FX useless. I will not buy a phone that has Beats preinstalled... Ever.

This method that i used works but in order for this method to work you should have taken a backup of the following before installing the beats audio driver backup with twrp and when you want to uninstall the beats audio driver just restore your backup with twrp it worked for me
your backup should contain the following before installing the beats driver
1) system
2) efs
3) modem
4) boot and
5) recovery
i cant guarantee you that it works
if you want to try this method you can but your responsible for the damage of your device try it on your own risk
i am not responsible if anything happens to your device
Hello Everyone,
I would like to share with you'll a Sound Mod that will bring a Magical music listening experience on CyanogenMod12.1/AOSP Roms. This Mod will effect the entire audio system of the phone (Calls, Music, Videos, External speakers). This Mod has been my daily drive since last 2years and glad it does well for Moto G3 too.
This thread is just a consolidation of procedure suited well for Moto G3 . All credits to the developers linked in original thread. Tested working fine on CM12.1 nightly dated 20151030 and Motorola's Stock ROM.
So here you go, "ExtremeBeats SoundFx with Viper plugin".
Requirments: ExtremeBeats, Viper4Android, SElinuxChanger, TWRP/CWM Recovery.
Precautions: Disable any other Mod or Audiofx you been using before you proceed. Else things may conflict and not work as intended.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any Soft/Hard Brick. Though this has been tested working fine by me, failing to comply with the procedure might result in mess. Try at your own risk.
Original Thread: ExtremeBeats , Viper4Android and SelinuxChanger
Steps:
Download "ExtremeBeats v4.0 Muses.zip" (Recommended Version) from Original thread and flash it via recovery.
Download "SElinux Changer". Open it and change SeLinux mode to permissive.
Download and install "Viper4Android" (version 2.3.3.0 recommended). Open it and install drivers. Make a Normal Reboot (No quick reboot).
Download Equalizer profiles attached in the attachment. Unzip the contents to Internal Storage. (These are Viper EQ profiles customized by me).
Load Effect profile of your choice (Vj Multiplex recommended). Enjoy Magical Music experience. Cheers..!
UPDATE : For Marshmallow, the viper profile path is different from lollipop. Follow the new path

Yes it will work on other ROMs based on CyanogenMod.
Extreme Beats is not an app. Its a set of audio libraries that control the sound system of the phone. This gets flashed onto your system. Viper is an equaliser app that goes best to enhance the power of extreme beats. So only viper will be visible in app drawer.
its working & what is the best IRS for your EQ Profile?
the sound on my sony headphones is to low with viper i dont know why. I use dolby atmos and dolby for a good high volume

Give ExtremeBeats a try. Also verify your viper driver status to be yes.

IRS is set in my eq profile. Just load the downloaded profile. And DDC I haven't set bcz sound effect varies across different earphone makers. I use SoundMagic ES18 earphones. Going good. But the earphones that come with Yu Yureka cyanogen phone are superior and mind blowing. Give it a try if you get it.

is all good says suported and yes and i tried with extremebeats extreammusic to and nothing the sound is low when start to processing the bass is just put down all volume and i tried my headphones on an ipod and pc and a samsung and the sound is loud (more onde ipod and the pc) but when i use the dolby the sound y loud and clear but i like the option that viper give to work the audio.
Then I guess those earphones are not compatible with moto g3.
I have noticed this case. Certain earphones don't commonly suit all and instead suit only specific phones. Particularly the Samsung earphones I faced having compatibility issues.

And what earphones, in ear, or headphones do you recomend for me? im from argentina and have to be some common brand like sony, sneheiser, phillips, panasonic, or something like that
I'd say. Don't go for phone maker earphones. Because most the cases they don't go compatible across other phones.
Instead look for music edition earphones like Senheiser, SoundMagic.
I am using SoundMagic ES18. It's going very good. But the earphones from Cyanogen phone maker Yureka was excellent. Had a real feeling of sitting in a multiplex using those. Unfortunately those earphones are not available as external accessories instead are made available only with the phone.
In the end, I'd say try before buy
Its working in MX player but sometime it goes turnoff automatically and driver status processing is no... How to enable ?

Ok, I can't read any more of this.....you are obviously making things up here. There is no such thing as 'incompatible headphones'....EVER. Not with this phone, not any phone, and not a single audio device which uses a 3.5mm jack. IT DOES NOT EXIST!!!! There may be issues with ones which use 2 contacts rather than 3 on the plug, but this is far from a total incompatibility. They will still work.
Please stop spreading misinformation. It's not helping anyone.

When you haven't encountered an issue doesn't mean there isn't a issue. I have tried Samsung earphones and they don't give best sound like they give with their own phones. Also iPod earphones don't go compatible , you will find drop in audio. By saying incompatible I mean they don't deliver 100% output and not that they don't totally work.
The connector etc is visually compatible. But logically not compatible.
Next time, before passing harsh comments get and anylse things first. Just because you got a tongue to blab don't do it here. At least not on the thread I run.
Give respect , take respect and be kind in your words rather being poky.

I've used apple earbuds and I've never experienced audio drop. Perhaps it's an issue with your mod then? It's definitely not an incompatibility with the hardware or the factory firmware.

Be happy with your conclusion. I am not interested in arguing. What I experienced I have shared the guy. In end I suggest the guy to try before buy.
I won't say all apple/samsung earphones would be incompatible. Because i am not that rich to get earphones of all apple models. I had an opportunity to try few earphones of different phones outta which I found some earphones go low but best with their own phones.
And if mod is the defect then I got the moto earphones too. There is no drop.
Thanks for the scene...!
Is the appolo 5.0 version working with this mod?

It will work. But sound effect feels slightly light than older version. So I recommend 4.0. You may try. It's all your own taste

There are clearly 2 differing opinions here. Whether either is right or not is unlikely to be determined here. What is of a concern is the fact that this is becoming an argument being played out in public.
So, let's get back on topic, constructively and cordially. It would be a shame to kill this thread off for all the wrong reasons.
Thanks
can i flash it to stock rom?
