Hello, Can someone suggest me some tweak, app to increase call volume. I have to press my ears real hard to the phone to hear folks clearly. I am traveling next week, and wanna make sure I can hear my folks ( vice versa too )
using CM9 with [email protected] # 1 Kernel
checkout either glitch kernel or semaphore kernel. Both have "voodoo sound" implemented which includes a boost in call volume.

tx, so I got semaphone, downloaded voodoo sound..just confused as to what should I set to increase sound? not speakerphone but from earpiece
Well the headphone amplifier setting pushes the speaker over it's stock limit. But I believe the call volume tweak is pre-built into the kernel. If you have a root file explorer, go to etc/init.d/ and there should be a call volume tweak in there.

You're correct. /system/ect/init.d/callvolumehack or something like that. And open and read the info and edit to boost it.

/system/ect/init.d/90call_vol to be exact.
Use root explorer to edit the file, I change all values to 2 and it works good, not too loud, lol, lines in the file to change are:
INCALL_BOOST_EARPIECE=0
INCALL_BOOST_BLUETOOTH=0
INCALL_BOOST_SPEAKER=1
INCALL_BOOST_HEADPHONE=0
Change 0,0,1,0 to 2,2,2,2 then save file and reboot, calls should be nice and loud(er).
Has anyone tried changing values to 3? LOL
Thank you for correcting me. And some people do use 3, they still have a hard time hearing.

Thanks all for your help, got glitch and increased it to 2
Does anyone know of there is a similar edit to increase the vibration intensity

Only glitch can boost volume?
hello I wa s wondering if there are any scripts to use without glitch kernel (i hate its red bootscreen)
Please someone help

you could try new devil kernel! Volume hack is just released in it! And much more!
Could you provide a link to the latest devils kernel? Also doesn't call quality depend on the modem that you are using?

About half way down this page. Make sure you read all of first three posts to get all advantages of this kernel. It is amazing! In regards to modem, call quality yes, but volume no.

Try Samsung service mode
Dial *#*#197328640#*#* press debug the audio and increase value.
What are you looking at shortbus......
Volume tweak sorta works with Semaphore. Here's how - increase volume to 3 in init.d. Then open Voodoo Control and set to +5db. I had to set Voodoo volume to +2db to avoid speaker crackling.
I use volume + which works well. It has a setting to up in call volume, boost speaker volumes, and headset volume. You can download it from the marketplace or you can download the pro version. Hope it helps

Ask in the Note 2 Forums.
PLEASE READ: I've noticed quite a few ROM devs are using my files without crediting me or linking back to this thread. I don't want people to start asking my permission or anything, feel free to use these files in your own work, but I worked hard trying to get my head round these files; finding out just what everything does and what the volume limits are. If you do use the modified files or modify your own using my guide please at least give me some credit. Thanks.
I've also made an Application that can do this for you. It can be found here.
PART 1
File: 'System/etc/default_gain.conf'
Hey everyone!
For those who remember my old volume hack on the T-Mobile G1, this is essentially the same thing! For some bizarre reason, Samsung decided to map all the maximum volume levels to an easily accessible file (system/etc/default_gain.conf), which is different to 99% of Android phones out there because it's usually built into the kernel or something harder to modify. Cheers Samsung!
THIS MOD WILL MAKE THE PHONE'S SPEAKER AS LOUD AS THE OS ALLOWS. ANY LOUDER AND THE AUDIO BREAKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Things this modification can achieve:
Louder Speaker Volume (Ringtones/Messages/Videos/MusicPlayer/etc.)
Louder In-Call Volume (Earpiece and Speakerphone)
Louder Headset Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Bluetooth Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Analogue Dock Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Digital AUX Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder FM Radio Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are a few others in that file too. It's weird that instead of defining the Headset Volume for everything, things like 'incall' and 'FMradio' are all separate.
How To Modify
Any text editor will do but I strongly recommend Notepad++ because it's just awesome!
How To Apply
1) Download attatched file ('default_gain.conf' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')
2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!)
3) From ADB or the Terminal do:
Code:
killall mediaserver
or reboot your phone!
4) Enjoy
PART 2
File: 'System/etc/Volume.db'
This isn't really an audio hack as such, it simply allows you to disable some irritating sounds you cannot normally disable.
What this mod disables:
Camera Shutter Sound 1
Camera Shutter Sound 2
Camera Shutter Sound 3
Boot Sound
Camcorder Sounds
AutoFocus Sound
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All this is so far useful for is to disable the camera sounds without modifying the camera itself.
There are most likely other things this file can do but I've not had chance to play with it properly yet, I'll keep going and update this post if I find anything else.
How To Modify
I strongly recommend using the free "SQL Lite Databse Browser". Any program that can open .db files should work just fine though.
How To Apply
1) Download attatched file ('Volume.db' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')
2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!)
3) From ADB or the Terminal do:
Code:
killall mediaserver
or reboot your phone!
4) Enjoy
All the usual warnings apply: I am NOT responsible if this breaks your phone, speaker or ear-drums and I am not responsible for anything else negative that may occur. If you rooted your phone you should know how to recover from potential soft-bricks, etc. It's your responsibility, not mine.

Insane Volume Boost
As the name suggests, this extra little mod (to the same file) will increase the volume even higher. Seriously high. I wouldn't recommend doing this as it distorts to hell and will most likely damage the speaker in the long run.
For those of you crazy enough to give this a go, here are the instructions:
1) Take the 'default_gain.conf' file (attached to the first post)
2) Search for the following section:
Code:
Modifier "Normal" {
Supported Device {
"Speaker"
}
Enable {...
and then look for
Code:
{ "AIF1 Boost Volume",
Change the value after that to whatever you want. The highest I've dared to go is 55. 55 is PLENTY loud enough, but you can probably go higher.
DISCLAIMER
The volume is getting absolutely ridiculous now. Be seriously careful if you decide to do this because it can go insanely loud and will most probably damage your speaker. You have been warned!!
Enjoy
"THIS MOD WILL MAKE THE PHONE'S SPEAKER AS LOUD AS THE OS ALLOWS. ANY LOUDER AND THE AUDIO BREAKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
Can you clarify this please. Do you mean that you have cranked the values up as high as sound quality allows??

I've turned it up as loud as the phone will allow. It's currently set to '63' but setting it to '64' breaks the audio so you end up with no sound until you change it back. It doesn't seem to distort that much either; the SGS3's speaker is surprisingly good!
Okay, I'll be the first to try it out...reporting back in a min

Probably just me but I didn't notice any difference except that MAYBE the drop effect during unlock was louder
Actually, I think that the notifications are louder which i like
just tried this and i can confirm its working very well
well done and thanks mate!
yes it works
im on AOKP and there is no default_gain.conf file on system/etc
works like hell
Thanks!

Sorry, I should have been more specific.
Its a file that Samsung added and so won't be present on AOKP, CM9, MIUI, etc.

Aokp is no Samsung rom, so it can't be there. But probably the kernel supports the file as cm9 kernel is based on Samsung open source code. However if it is a proprietary module that reads the file that is not in the rom, then there is no way.

You don't have to modify anything, just download the attached zip, move the 'default_gain.conf' file to your phone and use root explorer or something to put it in the 'system/etc' folder. Or you can just "adb push C:/link/to/default_gain.conf' system/etc".
Much quicker and easier than flashing a zip
Nice!
I'm using Omega;s AOKP & it works great. Had to move the 2 files to /system/etc is instructed from the OP.
TYVM!
I nearly went deaf after starting ME, had to lower the volume down. I can tell the big difference with this mod, no more blasting the volume at max to be able to hear anything.
Stock headphones .
4 ok. 5 bit to loud. 6 far to loud.
This mod.
1 ok. 2 loud. 3 to loud. 4 no way.
Problem is constant background hiss .
Think I will lower the numbers s bit in the file and see the result.

I'm in a desperate need of adding boot sound and power off sound to CyanogenMod 10. I am actually using a MIUI 3.6.14 ROM, a port of the official MIUI, and it's based on CM10 (or 10.1).
I know no one has ever been able to use boot sound and power off sounds in CM10, I'm actually wondering why these were disabled in first place. But anyway, I'm not here for the simple copy-paste solution.
If anyone has any idea on how to add these sounds in CM, no matter how many system files I have to edit and mess around with, please let me know. I really hate having a silent boot with a simple animation logo... it sucks big time.

looks like it is capable of playing sound but CM has gone ahead and removed whatever we need to hear it. check this site

Yeah... ok, they removed important things because they think bootsounds are useless. That's fine for me if that's their philosophy about this, but they could at least leave us a guide on how to add it back!
Also, I wonder why no other developer has been able to restore it. I've seen many great ROM developers out there, making a lot of complicated modifications in their ROM, but no one is able to restore a simple bootsound?? That's crazy man, unbelievable.

10.1.3. is still obviously just beta OS because they've abandoned any real development and just moved on to something else... like Oppo.
In-call volume sux.
Ring volume is great, but once you answer a call, you gotta find yourself some stinky pay phone so that your caller can be heard.
You can't hear tap volume unless your ear is up to the phone.
Quote from Steve Kondick: "We've rejected boot sounds about a dozen times now. The general consensus is that they suck and should be abolished."
Where's the consensus on call volume? You guys don't like that either?
Even the in-call volume settings have been greyed out. LOL!
Hi guys just installed null rom, excellent rom just was hoping that some files may have been tweaked for louder ringtines and notifications but alas no, I tried changing some of the files in system /etc/default gain file like the note 2 volume files but never made any difference, can someone please tell me how this may be accomplished as there are quite a few threads on the low volume thanks guys
Hello guys. I had posted some months ago my question but all I was suggested was installing mods that I already had tried.
So, my 'problem' is that I find Stock Marshmallow's output(volume and bass) on headphones (3.5 jack) pretty low compared to Stock Kitkat. Especially the bass, it is really, really louder/heavier on Kitkat.
Is there any way to get/move Kitkat's sound enhancements right into Marshmallow?
Thanks in advance, have a happy new year!
The only way to try this would be decrypting the original KitKat files and recode them into MM, though you need some knowledge about how it works for it. As for now, I do not know any way to get back that feature from KK.
Mods are really great in this sort of situation, I myself use the A.R.I.S.E. mod and configured it for my in-ears.

Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of coding etc.. I had tried arise sound mod but the sound was completely distorted(maybe I had installed something wrong,but all I did was install a .zip file and nothing more.)
Edit: could you message me and redirect me to the things you did and worked for you? I think I'll give a try tonight or tomorrow night! Thanks!

Well, installing the .zip is fine, but you ... gotta turn it on, too. When you flashed the zip, a new tool called Viper4Arise pops up in your app list. Open that and configure how you like to. In the app, you can change everything you like (and there's tons of stuff, trust me) but keep in mind to check if the module is active ( [≡] > Driver Status).
As of the settings I've done, I made the for my personal in-earphones (SoundMagic E10). There are things like ViPER-DDC which makes the sound of your head/earphones pretty nice if they're supported, if not, well then you gotta tune it yourself. Might plan to listen to a lot of different music and testing all the settings for your own preferences

Well, I'll maybe give a try and write you back... I didn't really understand whay you said there ' check if the module is active ( [≡] > Driver Status). '
Also, which one of these folders should I open and then,which version(file name) should I download?
I'm on Stock 6.0.1 with any other mod installed.
(yes,i'll make a nandroid backup before installing it)
Thanks in advance
Edit: I installed ViPER4Arise+2.5.0.5 and it worked fine,but still,the sound is quite,compared to Stock KitKat... Even after raising Master Gate (Limiter) to the max (6dB)... I don't know what to do

Then it is probably limited by the ROM itself.. Well you can look up how to create your own custom rom with higher output at the audio jack, but aside from that, I don't have any other ideas how to raise it other than going back to kitkat.
Well the volume is loud enough for me, so sadly I can't help you with this

Exactly, KitKat allowed more output volume than Marshmallow does, I guess....I wish I knew how to increase the output levels and set them just as high as the Stock Kikat are.

I might just randomly found a way to set the volume gain, but you need a unlocked bootloader + elitekernel (or any other) for that.
