[Q] Headset volume low on latest AOKP - Need help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Upgraded to latest AOKP rom. One thing I don't like about the S2 is the low headset volume when plugging in my headset w/mic. I tried accessing the service menu using the #*#*197328640*#*# but I get an MMI error. Is there a way to access the service menu on the latest AOKP rom? More importantly, is there a way to increase the default volume settings for headsets on S2's?
Thank you in advance

Yes. There are apps on the play store that do this.

Depending on the kernel that you use. Voodoo Louder works pretty well, I think it was $1.23, but it checks for compatibility before you actually by the function. It claims CM kernels are compatible when it does the check, I can't speak for all versions of this kernel, but from all the stock kernels with AOKP that I've tried it on in the last two weeks it has had no effect. With siyah kernels, I've had no problems with it. It boosts up to 6db. If you use siyah, extweaks app is free, but it only boosts 3 db, so not a significant gain, however the latest version 4.3 (which works great with latest aokp ROMs) might have some extra boost. I haven't given it a shot because I didn't really need to boost much more since I already have Voodoo louder, but it's worth some experimentation before buying Voodoo. Yes there are MANY apps, and some that are free, but I thought I'd save you the hassle of trial and error and let you know what does work. Other things might work better, so definitely feel free to try others out. Also DSP manager, you'll have to google for link to apk, I don't think it's here in XDA, works with an EQ, but when you jam them all the way up it doesn't sound quite right to me. I did not like it, but it has several EQ setting you might like with whatever sound system you're using, plus custom EQ. Boosting sound is really my sole reason for changing kernels, but with latest siyah and extweaks, there are a CRAP LOAD of other settings to play with. Eventually I'll get around to them. Hope this helps.

Power amp + ex tweaks. Power amp allows for an increase of I think 6 db if I remember right

Or install Awesome beats + Siyha kernel + extweaks.
You can found the first 2 on mrRobinson Aroma from themes and apps section.

Played with the recent updates in Siyah kernel (in ex tweaks)... The volume boost is pretty damn beast now. Voodoo Louder is pretty much obselete. The headphone amplifier is indeed 6db now, plus the next slider down is an 'analog' boost that goes up 20db....ridonkulous homie... I'm loving it!

Thanks for the tip to use EX Tweaks. I was actually having the opposite problem, headphone volume too loud. Was having to keep it at just 1 click above totally off. Now I can keep it at the mid-point, with plenty of headroom to adjust when moving to louder/quieter environments.

[Q] DSP manager on 2.2 cm 6.1.3

Is it possible to port the dsp Manager app to 2.2 or 2.1 so we can have the bass boost on our stable roms? The 2.3 music app was also ported so i thought it could also be done with the dsp....
try power amp pro, great equaliser on it from my experience
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
What ROM are you using? My 6.1.3?
Heres one that works with my ROM
http://www.mediafire.com/?1h2i2z3qygqvz2c
yeah thanks. i'm using your rom.
I actually tried some DSP's from the htc desire and hd forums but both hadn't the bassboost option...
I'll hope this one has.
****tt, after flashing your zip my x10 stucks at the white sony ericsson text @ booting
For those that are having problem with DSP manager i suggest you to do a full wipe + cache wipe + dalvik & battery wipe. and install directly the v3 of wolfbreak's release do not install the first version and update it. just install the v3 version without installing the Gapps. because its already installed on the v3. then try to install the DSP Manager. it sould work without any problem.
Regards.
anyone can post the screen about the speaker setting?im not really good with the analog setting...because it has to be set manually...thanks....

Basically, it goes bass to mid to treble from left to right. I personally like using a 'scooped' setting, which jacks up the highs and lows while cutting down on the mids. It's the same setting I use on my guitar amps too and I think it gives a nice sound.
So my setting from left to right is 6,5,4,5,6.
I think though to find the setting you like, you'll have to mess with it a bit to find what works best for you. Hope this helps!

Which ROM/ kernal/ audio tweaks?

Hey guys
am currently running foxhound 1.42 and DSP manager...
am looking to know if anyone else has a better audio combination, i like LOUD volume (through my headphones while at the gym) but i like the music it be as clear as possible...... atm i am getting alot of distortion and the rom just doesn't seem as loud as when it was around 0.8
can anyone recomend a rom/kernal and sound manager combination to try?
thanks
calum
Did you install volume gain mod from aroma installer? With that your phone should be loud like crazy.
I use poweramp which has lots of audio settings. I believe there is a free trial on play store to try out. Or you can just flash siyah kernel where you can adjust audio settings in STweaks.
I am using Siyah kernel and its awesome...... Sound seems to be so much better than stock..... but can't compare to your current setup.......You gotta try it yourself.....
Why the holy stick so many people use word kernal not kernel??
slap siyah over whatever the rom you use and enjoy the sound
ok guys cheers gonna give
DragonICS Rebirth V3.6 a go it comes with SiyahKernel S3 v1.5beta6
is there anything else i should try / use to get louder volume some people have mentioned DSP manager and some power amp anyone wanna point me in the right direction?

You don't need another rom. Siyah kernel works fine with foxhound. What you need to do:
- grab latest foxhound
- go into recovery
- make nandroid
- Flash foxhound
In aroma choose:
- volume loud hack, yes
- Install Siyah kernel
After that you'll find stweaks app in drawer with lots of audio tweaks

Limited volume on Paranoid rom

I'm using the Paranoid Rom 2.0 to be exact, and i'm experiencing volume issues. It seems as though, after a certain percentage of volume it doesn't seem to increase further. If anyone could help me that would be great!

1. This is a known CM10 bug and there is nothing D4ark can do about it, for now.
2. Why not just upgrade to 2.1, which mount but dramatically fix your problem, but it's a lot better.
3. If you are using Siyah or any extweaks compatible kernel, you can boost your headset volume with it. Or you can just download volume boosting apps in market.

[Q] is there any way to adjust AOSP sounds

I love how smooth the AOSP system works. I do not like how loud volume is. Is there any way to adjust that?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Well, you could install a custom kernel, then use STweaks to adjust the volumes that you want. I am however curious as to which AOSP rom you are using..in my experience most if not all AOSP roms have yielded really low volumes for me. =P

I think they might have meant that...
If it was a issue with it being too loud, they would be able to easily adjust the volume with the sliders. I'm pretty sure they meant loud in a way similar to volume level.

[ROM][Unofficial-Geeb]4.4.2_R2 SomethingExplosive[KVT49L][Mar.15.2014]

This is a little kang I did for myself and after seeing the good response in my 4.4.2_R1 aosp thread I decided to post this for everyone to try out.
It's not a hugely modified rom, its largely aosp with enough tweaks and addons to make it "just right" for me.
When I run this rom, I don't use xposed/gravitybox and turn on art. Its smooth smooth smooth.
First and foremost, big thanks to something15525 as its his rom, I just added device specific stuff and compiled for geeb.
Full features list can be found here: https://github.com/SomethingExplosive/android_vendor_SoMeX/blob/somex-4.4/FEATURES.mkdn
Quick highlights:
This rom has Superuser baked in so no need to flash SuperSU.
AOSP gesture enabled keyboard
VoicePlus - Google Voice integration into any SMS app
CM Torch built in
Busybox - helpful tools for terminal manipulation
Extended Power Menu - Reboot, Recovery, and Bootloader access from the power menu
Customized QuickSettings Toggles (WiFi and Bluetooth) - no more long press to toggle
Clear Recents Button - One button to clear everything in the recent apps display
Modded/Added by me:
Apollo
DSPManager
Removed pinyinn and openwnn
Rom link here (Updated with working auto brightness thanks to R.Asimi!):
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579692
For the full google experience use these gapps from Banks (Updated by Banks Dec. 14, 2013):
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319195955
NFC fix for AT&T (Not needed anymore but left here for historical reasons):
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111255697
Faux based geeb kernel option:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319195649
Down loaded and installed. Smooth, fast, and stable. I understand, that being first release, it misses some of the customization. Thanks for your work.
What is different between the included kernel and the Faux kernel?
Sweet.
So for clarity, you don't use xposed/gravity box but you do turn on art, or you also don't turn on art?

When I use the pure aosp build, I run xposed/gravitybox which in turn means I can't turn art on.
I'm running this rom now for the last few days without xposed/gravitybox and turn on art instead.
Art makes the phone even more responsive.

The faux kernel is more in line with faux's mako kernel release but with dual led green/red for canadian phones.
The included one is houstonns adreno kernel with added code for canadian phones with dual green/red led control.

The goal of this rom from the developers standpoint is to have minimal customization.
Think of it as aosp++
Just a few tweaks/addons without going insane and losing the stability and speed of aosp.

Appreciate your hard work. I was talking about simple customization such as bettery icon, time placement, quick setting tile rearrangement, etc. I wish you can add these customization.
Any trick to increase audio volume level ( I mean at max it is bit low)?
Cheers and merry Christmas.

Well, I think that this is not the ROM's goal. SoMeX is very close to aosp. If you want all that, you need either:
Another rom (cm)
Xposed and gravity box.

Flashed this last night on my og, and I'm liking it a lot , all though since it is not my Dailey phone I do not have a Sim card in it to check for connection errors.
Can I request a mod please, a zip to enable soft keys and disable the hardware keys?

Sorry I'm not really into doing mods for my roms, but if someone wants to come up with a zip to do these things for you it would be welcomed in this thread!
Only reason I asked was, I tried the build prop edit adding "qemu.HW.mainkey=0" and went to the generic keypad and tried disabling the hardware keys and it didn't work.
Here is to hoping some one can write up a quick zip to do this.

I was on this ROM for a few days and had no issues at all! Very well done!
I switched to Slimkat for the extra features though, and I miss the colors this ROM has! What was edited...was it the gamma, the contrast, the levels? Is there a file I can edit to get the same overall color feel that this ROM has? What values are set for this ROM so I can match it on any other ROM I happen to try?

Something Explosive, every time I read that, I think Explosive? Something? Explosive Diarrhea.
But very cool to see someone make their own custom rom. So very cool!
