Get rid of regional volume limits ?

Does anyone knows a way to get rid of european volume limits ? those limits are imposed by France for French people. I'm Italian and live in Italy where no one limits the volume someone wants to listen to music.
So is there a way to remove such unusefull "feature" ?
may be something in servicemode>audio>headset>volume but what ?
as Rx Gain i have 0x2d34 can someone with an US or extra European version tell me what they have ?

I use audio boost, specifically designed for our phones by a forum member ! well worth the couple of dollars !
I think you'll find it over in the apps forum . . .

This guideline is not french and only for french people. It's european and it applies in all member states of the eu.

I'm using JPK, that solution with mixget should work in there?... What kind of ROM are you using?

Thank you dangerMUK it seems a good app but i d'like to learn how to unlock that limit modofying servicemode values (i think that app alter those values) anyone knows?

I'm on JPK too. You can use the same method for rooting (flash the other kernel first ...), instead of the update.zip for root use the alsa_update.zip. Or maybe even with the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108. Should work, because of the 2e recovery - although I did not try it myself.
I'am rooted and I prefer installing the files from the alsa_update.zip (download from mixget) with a shell script. So there's no need for rebooting the phone and executing the different update.zips.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /sdcard/external_sd/stuff/Alsa_Update/
busybox cp alsa_amixer /system/bin/
busybox cp alsa_aplay /system/bin/
busybox cp alsa_ctl /system/bin/
busybox cp libasound.so /system/lib/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/alsa_amixer
chmod 4755 /system/bin/alsa_aplay
chmod 4755 /system/bin/alsa_ctl
chmod 4755 /system/media/audio/ringtones/roter_sand.mp3

Hi johoe
Thx you for the information, i'll test that and see how it goes.
Thx again

Hi All,
I tested the application and actually works, but I have a problem, the settings does not seem to stay. Example: I open my music player, open the mixget set the gain according to what I want, and the volume its ok... I close/stop the song and start it again, and the volume is again low, then I have to open again the mixget, etc etc. I bet that is a permission problem on the file system... But I'm not sure where I have to actually do the modification.
Anyway, thank you

That is the way the phone works. Already solved with audioboost
. Read the thread and buy the app.

Volume stuck on 53%
Hi!
Thanks for your help in advance.
I was listening music on my Sony Xperia Go and all of a sudden android ICS doesn't let me put the volume higher than 53%. With the physical volume control or the virtual one. It only happens with media.
Do you guys know why could that be happening?
Thanks once again and happy thanks giving.

[KernelModule] Overclock

**** Do Not Repost! Link back to this thread! ****
*** Update: This works on Thrill/Optimus 3D. There are seperate kernel modules for Froyo/GingerBread/CyanogenMod kernels***
Here ya go... I prefer this method rather than hard coding changes in the kernel. Assuming you have both kernel modules extracted to /sdcard
Switch to root
Code:
$ su
Copy files from sdcard to /system/lib/modules directory - You only do this once
Code:
# cp /sdcard/symsearch.ko /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
# cp /sdcard/opperator.ko /system/lib/modules/opperator.ko
Load modules, always do symsearch.ko first - You do this every time you reboot
Code:
# insmod /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
# insmod /system/lib/modules/opperator.ko
Set Frequency - You do this when you want to change frequency - in hz, that's 6 additions Zero's to make Mhz
Code:
# echo 1188000000 > /proc/opperator
This uses SYMSEARCH by Skrilax_CZ
https://github.com/SkrilaxCZ
Inspired by Milestone Overclock by Tiago Sousa, but totally rewritten for omap kernel 2.6.35-7 and above.
http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/
This is a stripped down version. I'm working on a fully featured version, that will allow you to play with voltage as well. There are some hurdles to overcome before that is ready for prime time... In the mean time, lets see what stock voltage can do... 1188 is my sweet spot on stock voltage, what is yours? I get up to 1235 without reboots, or real noticeable lags but the linkpacks are all over the place, where it stays in the 80's at 1188. And remember, the number is in hz a.k.a. cycles per second, so to get Mhz, you must add 'Six Zeroes' to the end of your desired Mhz.
* Note2Devs: Feel free to put this in your ROM, but please do credit me for the Overclock in your release, and link back to this thread. You can also post a link to your ROM here as a way to make myself and other aware of it. Thanks...
* Echts shows us how he integrate's the module into his own ROM. TY, Echts...

Yes, give this a go on the O3D, the module is actually compiled against the cyanogenmod cosmo kernel, which is really for the O3D. Should work.

No real installing... It's just the modules... You can throw them in /system/lib/modules, and then use an init script to load them up, then set the frequency, but don't do that until you know what works *STABLE* for you.
If you have a favorite ROM, let the dev know about this, and maybe they'll integrate it.
I'm not sure if custom kernels like acurateam's might be too different to work properly at this point. But it won't hurt to try. Just don't start loading it at boot right away.

What I'd really like is for the ROM making dev's to come to a consensus as to how to integrate this... Mainly, the best place to throw the script that does this at boot on these phones. I know how we did it on droid X, but I haven't dug deep enough into this phone just yet to be sure... I'll update the OP as methods improve and I get more feedback.

Or use callmearia kernel and make script for system/etc/init folder... havent tried his kernel but it should support the script at boot up. Acura roms should work that way too.
The way most roms use overclock is the init script that starts at boot...

Those would have been based on Milestone Overclock... Which is where I gained most of my knowledge by contributing to getting the droidx/2 side of things working. MO's method of manipulating frequency and voltage no longer works on OMAP4, or rather kernel 2.6.35+... I had to come up with a new way of doing things, which didn't fit well under the existing framework of MO. So, I started from scratch... This is just the tip of the iceberg... Basic, basic, basic...

i get insmod: init_module /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko failed (exec format error).
What am i doing wrong?

I also get the same error: insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko' failed (exec format error)
Is it because I have gingerbread?

Outputs is a bit over my head. Tell me how and i´ll provide it for you.

Speed Tweaks for Blur ROMS

This will only modify what needs to be tweak in the build.prop.
It will not modify anybody else's build.prop work.
This means it can be used after you install a custom ROM and
keep any changes your dev has made to their own build.prop.
I have screen shots of my 3 Mps DSL Line and my LTE.
If it gives any indication about how much more performance gain there is
WiFi gives me up to 2.9 Mbps normally.
LTE gives me close to 30 Mbps normally.
Revision 2:
little less aggressive on the phone itself
little bit better WiFi and LTE speeds
cleaned up TONS of code and named everything!
Also the 2nd version will save a backup so you
can restore your old build.prop if you do not like
the changes that were made from from the tweaks.
AND it should keep the original build.prop.
Mind you, the undoer will only work with version 2.
you can also make a swap file (paging file like windows)
command will be
# busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0
# chmod 077 /dev/block/zram0
# reboot

I have tried and failed miserably! I am no means a "true" programmer BUT
I have a work around for the people with SS3. Although it does involve a
terminal emulator which is free and the Google Play Store link is BAM!
I will make a flashable fix in the morning with instructions on how to do it.
I will also have a screenshot of what to type as well. The script will still do
the same thing as the flashable BUT in the terminal (manual way)

Just ran the .sh
I just modified and ran the SH from the command line. Only had to remove one > per file. Thanks, my speed increase isn't amazing, but its solid. You are Awesome.

Is there a way to flash this in ss305 yet or what

No, I'm sorry, haven't time to work on it. right now the work around is through a shell and reboot

[Q] Button backlight

Hi!
After some researching, I couldn't find a way to disable button backlights (permanently) on CM 10.1.3. How can be this done ?

Put this in a 03bl.sh in system/etc/init.d and let it run on boot as executable with script manager (smanager).
#!/system/bin/sh
sync
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
sync
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system
It will disable the lights after boot is finished
And remember to set the right permissions.

"Best ..." threads are not allowed on XDA as it is all subjective and depends on the user and on exactly what you are doing. Best bet is just to download and try for yourself.
As for picture quality - there are more than enough threads alreay about this topic for you to read.

This is actually the same as before.... and it still is not allowed
I usually would close this thread now, but as this thread is about something else, I'll leave it with this warning.
Now, about the lights, @Omario-242 is more-less right
but this should be enough, too:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
no need to mount system, as these files are not /system related
Also, there is no need for scriptManager, as init.d is getting executed automatically during boot just name it 99disableBBL or something similar, place it inside /system/ect/init.d, set permissions and you should be fine

[APP]ResUI Resolution Changer

APP FOR 4.3+ ONLY
I put together this app to easily switch between 3 resolution modes. Optionally hit the backup button to copy to /sdcard/tmp
For each mode it just runs a script like this.
#!/system/bin/sh
wm size 1920x1200
wm density 240
# mounting system as rw
mount -o remount,rw /system
export DENSITY=`cat /system/build.prop|grep ro.sf.lcd_density`
sed -i s/$DENSITY/ro.sf.lcd_density=240/g /system/build.prop
mount -o remount,ro /system
its replaces the line in the build.prop so things like the keyboard scale properly. Let me know if it doesnt work. Just hit the reboot button after you change it. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I'm pretty sure wm ignores the build.prop DPI value. It does on mine anyway. It saves its setting to dB in /data/data somewhere. com.android.preferences/ inside that I think.

OK it might be that certain apks use the build.prop to calculate the screen size? Let me look at the source.
Try locking the DPI to 160 once the user gets down to 1280. The way I calculate the DPI is take the length of the screen and divide by 8.
1280 is 160
1600 is 200
1920 is 240
2560 is 320
Etc

On the nexus 7 2012 I have, the wm command works. You can just modify the app to what you need. What. Itll do if you try to set it to 2560*1600 320 I don't know. If you want to modify the app you just need to:
1. Add a script to the raw folder like the others
2. Add a button to the xml layout
3. Set the button to launch the script it in the apps main activity.
