I found the thread to edit the. Xml and when I view the file in ES Explorer, I can see the entire file but when I click on edit it's like half of the file disappears. I can't edit the last part of the file because it's not there. Anyone have any suggestions?
I know lots of people like ES, but I found it pretty flakey. I really like FX:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx
and the root add-on:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx.rr
Hasn't failed me yet, and it's the only file manager I've used that keeps the permissions correct when you edit and save a file.
I have a sprint g3 that is rooted. I tried to do the volume mod but ran into some problems. I did exactly what it said. I edited it with es file explorer. In your last section labeled speaker and headphone, there is no section on my g3. I went through the whole text file 3 times and there is no such section. I did find and change the other changes exactly as you specified. After I was done, I rebooted and it got stuck on the sprint boot screen. I took the battery out and tried starting back up but each time it gets stuck on the sprint boot screen. I did a battery pull 4 times and each time the same thing happens. Now when I do a battery pull and hold the power button, nothing happens, it doesn't even turn on. Please help.
Anyone have any suggestions on this??
I had to try to do a full wipe by reinstaling the OP through the LG website because I didn't have a custom recovery installed to back up. Somehow that didnt work and ended up bricking my device. I was within the warranty period so I just exchanged the phone. I would like to try the vol mod again (this time with twrp installed) but don't want to run into the same issues. Is there anyone that can help me with this? Thank you
I have flashable vol mods already. In the stock ZV4,ZV6 and all the Barrin Roms. They're in the op of each.
You can just pull them from the zip, place it, and make sure to FIX PERMISSIONS. That's why the bootloop. If you want to do it manually.
The first thing is to not save and reboot with an incomplete file. If you can't edit it fully, don't save it. I made the edits with FX, Linked above, and it didn't truncate the file. Finally, after editing and saving, double check that the permissions are 0644 / rw-r--r-- before rebooting.
Oh, and make a nandroid backup of your rom first, including the East partition, so if something goes wrong you can recover and make a copy of the original file, too.
Edit: Corrected the permission, in red, above.
This is a update. Just to refresh, I am on a sprint phone rooted with custom recovery, model # LGLS990, first off these are the only two files thats similar in system-etc mixer_paths_auxpcm.xml and mixer_paths.xml. Which mixer file do I use? I used the mixer_paths.xml. I found a file that someone had saved in another thread with the modified changes so I downloaded that file, moved it to my phone, copy and pasted it, overwrite the orignal file, then changed permissions and when it rebooted, I had no sound at all. PLEASE HELP

First off, be careful you do not take the ota. You will lose root and have to Flashtool back to zv4. There's threads on that.
I don't remember what's in the zips, but you can flash it all and it'll probably run better. If you just want the mixer_path.xml, delete the build prop, and any other file. Leave Meta and system/etc/mixer path.xml

Ok, thanks. So, I can just flash the entire zip then? Flashing the entire zip will probably make it run better then? Or do I need to pull apart the zip and just use the mixer file. The entire zip is for the stock rom then? Thanks for your help, havent done this in a few years so I'm a bit rusty. By the way, you said to leave meta, what is that file? If I'm just flashing the zip, I can do through recovery then?
Yes. Leave meta. Its part of what directs the file in the zip file where to go and gives permissions to replace existing files Etc.

Not 3 and 4. 1 and 2. I think I have them at 65. And your bootloop is because you didn't set permissions properly. You'll need to restore in TWRP if you made a backup. If you didn't, then it's Flashtool.
If you're still on zv4 why didn't/don't you just flash the extreme one I linked you to before?
OK thanks but the permissions were set correctly. rw-r-r
There is no 1 and 2 that I see. I have attached a screenshot.

So after using the Samsung Galaxy S II for over a month now I've had one complaint. In-Call Volume using the handset ear piece. It was "OK" in quiet places but anywhere else...way below par.
So, after looking around for several weeks trying to find a fix I finally got help from a well know dev (Entropy512) as well as using system/lib audio files from Designgears ROM 'Perception'.
So...how do you finally get your in-call volume increased?
First and foremost...Always backup whatever you're changing. Better safe than sorry. Just make a copy of your current system/lib folder, rename it something like 'backup_lib' and place on your sd card somewhere.
Option 1
Download this flashable zip, flash it in CWM, Reboot, Enjoy. (This zip includes some audio files from the Perception ROM, if for any reason DesignGears has an issue with this PM me and I will remove the zip. I'm only using the files to help others solve their in-call volume issue)
MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING
Download the Flashable Update Here
I have tested this on three different SGSII's and all seems well! This is a NO WIPE flash, I do reccomend clearing your Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition though.
-Reboot into Recovery
-Scroll down to 'Advanced' and select
-Select "clear Dalvik Cache"
-Flash this update
-Reboot your phone and enjoy!
Option 2 (Incase the flash doesn't work or I am asked to remove the the zip file)
1) Download Designgears ROM 'Perception' Found Here
2) Open the zip file of your current ROM (doesn't matter what ROM)
3) Open the system folder and then open the system/lib folder (of your current ROM)
4) Next, Open the same folder in the Perception ROM
5) Copy the files listed below from the Perception ROM and paste them over the files in your ROM:
- lib_Samsung_Acoustic_Module_Llite.so
- lib_Samsung_Resampler.so
- lib_Samsung_Sound_Booster.so
- libaudio.so
- libaudioeffect_jni.so
- libaudioflinger.so
- libaudiohw_op.so
- libaudiohw_sf.so
- libaudiopolicy.so
- liblvvefs.so
- libmediayamaha.so
- libmediayamaha_jni.so
- libmediayamaha_tuning_jni.so
- libmediayamahaservice.so
- libsamsungAcousticeq.so
- libsamsungSoundbooster.so
- libsoundalive.so
- libsoundpool.so
- libSR_AudioIn.so
- libyamahasrc.so
*Only copy/replace the files listed above as they are only audio files. DO NOT COPY/REPLACE all system/lib files... You'll have unwanted consequences and you'll probably kill a puppy.
6) Now go to the Perception ROM and open system\app and find phone.apk. (Save a copy of your current phone.apk...Just in case)
-Copy (Perception's) phone.apk and replace the phone.apk on your current ROM.
7) After you replace the files listed above on your ROM, reflash your ROM and enjoy your increased call volume.
Note: If you don't want to reflash your ROM and risk losing any settings, you should be able to copy the files and replace them with Root Access and a file explorer, then Reboot your device immediately after. I haven't tried this yet so if someone wants to try and leave feedback, please feel free.
EDIT: Copying the files using a root explorer does work but may cause your phone to crash/reboot afterwards. I'd still recommend just re-flashing the ROM to avoid potential issues. Once again, make sure and make a back up so you can revert any changes if something doen't work properly.
I will try uploading a zip file with appropriate files so you can download but currently I do not have Designgears permission. This is their code and I don't want to step on any toes.
EDIT: I have tried reaching out to DG for permission but had no luck, if he asks that I remove the zip file, I will do so.
Known Potential Issues:
- When flashing over a stock/rooted ROM this update may cause the phone application to crash/force close. I have tried this update personally on every ROM I could flash and haven't had any issues. However, I have not tried it on the stock ROM. If you're on stock/rooted, please make a backup so if it does cause issues you can simply revert the changes.
Much thanks goes to Entropy512 for the help with solving this issue and Designgears ROM 'Perception'. Using Perception showed me that increasing the in-call volume was possible! (it's a very stable and awesome ROM as well )
***UPDATE***
Due to some people being a worried about flashing the update I have taken the liberty of making the backup files for you and making them flashable!
- I have made revert files for all of the major ROM's we currently have for our device. I did not include Perception because that ROM is where the audio files originated from. Below is the download links for the backups.
IF my volume fix does NOT work, simply download the backup for your ROM and flash it. It will revert all the changes my fix made.
- Revert_CM7.1_Stable
- Revert_H8s2_1.2.2
- Revert_Serendipity_8.2
- Revert_Stock_UCKH7
- Revert_UnNamed_1.2
- Revert_MIUI 1.11.4 v1
- If you are using Perception ROM you do NOT need the volume fix as this ROM has the files built in
As a side note, I have tried this on several I9100 ROM's as well and had luck with them all.
If this thread helps, please click the thanks button for me, I'm new to the XDA community.
Any I9100 ROM should work here for the libs - however:
Your mic will be screwed up for outgoing audio unless you change the Samsung Noise Reduction settings. (DG forced this in Perception, I believe he did it in an APK somewhere and not in the libs.)

I just tried a call and you're correct, the mic isn't working properly. Do I need to find the APK or do you know what changes I need to make? This is a popular issue and I'm hoping this thread can help.
Edit: I found some APK's....any idea which one would deal with the mic?
-CallSetting.apk
-Phone_Util.apk
-Phone.apk
-Settings.apk
Ahahaha, good thing I made a backup before pasting, but pasting the files in root explorer does work, however your phone will crash and reboot, but it is louder.

Try copying the CallSetting.apk as well (use both). If you still don't have any luck with fixing the mic issue and you're using a file manager to make the switch, try re-flashing your ROM with the apk changes instead.
Make a backup before doing it so you can restore all your settings if it doesn't work for some reason.

LOL! Me too! I all over this!
I have a SGP5 and am using Jackpot Clavin's CM10.1 rom.
I find that the number of volume steps is too few when using headphones. Often consecutive volume settings will change the volume too much, so that one setting is too soft and the next too loud.
The solution to this is to increase the number of steps over the same volume range.
I have successfully managed to do this using the following guide (it was quite easy actually):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317.
Doing this produces a framework.jar file which needs to be placed in /system/framework with permissions "- rw- r-- r--" (ie read/write for user, read only for everyone else), and after a reboot (during which it will say it is upgrading) you should have the extra steps.
Anyway, seeing as it works I thought I'd share it here in case anyone else wants to have more steps to their volume (rather than the original 15 steps).
I've made some CWM flashable zip files to make things a bit easier.
Volsteps2-30 will give double the steps, so to increase the volume by what used to be one step now takes two steps.
Volsteps2-45 will give triple the steps, so to increase the volume by what used to be one step now takes three steps.
This theoretically should work for any rom (or even device) but it may be the case that a different zip file will be needed for each one. To make this compatible with more roms/devices I need your /system/framework/framework.jar files so I can patch them and make an install zip. But try it out before sending your file, there may be a version for you already made...
Instructions:
Remember to do a nandroid backup first!
Download the uninstall zip and one of the install zips from below.
Flash the install zip and reboot.
if it works, great...
if not, you'll probably find you're in a bootloop, get back into CWM (with the button combo) and flash the uninstall zip, (this will restore your system to its previous state), reboot and reply to this thread telling me that it doesn't work, what rom and device you are using and attach your framework.jar file (found in /system/framework/).
I'll patch your framework.jar file and make a new zip file for you to try, if it works for you I'll attach it to this post with a suitable description.
We'll see if we can get a nice collection for all the roms...
For UNINSTALL.zip and SGP5.0 mods see the files attached below
For SGP4.0 mods see post #79: Volsteps Mods for SGP4.0 Player

Nope. I can't because I can't find my SD card and it doesn't exactly work correctly anyway. I'll just have to install the stock ROM and do it like that.
Edit: I found it, but my computer doesn't want to read it, so yeah...
I've worked out how to do CWM zip files! I've made an install zip that works fine on my player and an uninstall zip in case it bootloops.
If it does bootloop the uninstall zip will restore your original framework.jar file and everything will be as it was before.
I suspect that each rom will have to have a special zip file for itself, so if it doesn't work, post telling me your ROM and attach your framework.jar file and I'll patch it. (framework.jar is in /system/framework/)
It'd be nice if we had all the ROMs covered don't you think?
See OP for install and uninstall files.
@TheKryptonite If you've got everything running smoothly again it'd be great if you could send me that framework.jar file...if you fancy it of course ...

Yeah, sorry about that, I had no idea it was even possible at the time - but now I do!..
Here's a zip for you to try - remember to have the uninstall zip at the ready in case it doesn't work..
Idecided that 30 steps (each step half the original) isn't enough for me so I've made a 45 step version (each step one third of the original) - see OP
I've been rummaging about inside people's rom zips (ooerr) and have patched Iurnait's pac-man rom and latest CM10.1 too.
All the jar files are different so a different version is definitely needed for each rom... Most worrying is that TheKryptonite's IurnaitCm10.1 file is different to the latest IurnaitCM10.1 file. I hope that doesn't mean that this must be done every time a rom is updated urrrggghh....

Changing the volume by one notch goes from too quiet to too loud (with 15 steps), I found it was the same with 30 steps, ie increasing the volume by half a step is also too much. 45 steps makes the volume change by one third of a step which, I think, is about right!
It's not that I need 45 steps, but it is about how big each step is....

HERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO GET DATA TETHERING THROUGH BUILD.PROP EDIT
NOTE:MESSING WITH BUILD.PROP COULD MESS YOUR PHONE UP BE CAREFUL
Step 1.) download a text editor.i suggest 920 text editor.
Step 2.) you will also need an root explorer so download that also.
Step 3).open up your root explorer and navigate to system/build.prop. and copy that file to another directory. i.e example sdcard/download.then rename
original build.prop file to build.prop.bak
Step 4).open up your text editor and navigate to the directory where you copied the build.prop file
Step 5.)look for this line [they are both close to the end of the build.prop file] "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=true" [once you find it change the true
to false] so it reads "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=false" NOTEDO NOT TYPE THE QUOTATION MARKS!!!
Step 6.) " look for line "persist.data.tethering_oc=1" change the variable 1 to 0 so it reads "persist.data.tethering_oc=0
Step 7.) move the build.prop file that you copied and edited from location you placed it in to its rightful spot in system/.change permissions to rw--r--r
reboot phone and your good to go!works on my vs985 LIKE A CHAMP.

Step 5.)look for this line [they are both close to the end of the build.prop file] "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=true" [once you find it change the true
to false] so it reads "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=false" NOTEDO NOT TYPE THE QUOTATION MARKS!!!
Step 6.) " look for line "persist.data.tethering_oc=1" change the variable 1 to 0 so it reads "persist.data.tethering_oc=0
Step 7.) move the build.prop file that you copied and edited from location you placed it in to its rightful spot in system/.change permissions to rw--r--r
reboot phone and your good to go!works on my vs985 LIKE A CHAMP.

Actually not.
Instead of trying to stop the thermal mitigation from working I did just the opposite, I changed the parameters on how it operates.
The file /system/etc/thermal-engine-8974.conf.
This file controls what happens to cpu speed at various temperatures.
That is what you tweak and it just works.
I also used ROM Toolbox to change the governor.

Thank you but...
First of all, thanks for the post. Although I appreciate the helpful post, my phone is now stuck in boot loop . I hate to be the one to open up an old thread but I'm freaking out at the moment due to brick fever :crying: My current setup was a rooted LG G3 VS98512b. My goal was simple, I didn't want to do anything crazy, I just wanted to enable wifi tether now I'm afraid I've lost everything... Is there a way I can get back into the storage of my phone and delete the modified build.prop, remove the ".bak" from the original and be back to the good life? Any assistance is greatly appreciated, this seemed like such a simple modification that led to such a big headache.
It sounds like you might have used an editor on your build.prop that could not handle the file size, resulting in your editted build.prop being truncated. Otherwise, maybe your permissions were left wrong. Either of these will cause your phone to bootloop.

Thanks for the reply. I used the editor recommended in the tutorial, 920 text editor. I followed the instructions word for word, I don't know what the problem is. Maybe its because I have the newest update and this mod was for 10b???As far as the permissions, the phone asked automatically if I wanted to change the permissions. The original build.prop is still there... is there a way I can delete the modified build.prop and replace it with the original? I really wish I would not have followed this tut, it didn't seem like a popular method. There has to be a way to delete the modified build.prop right?

Yes you can reflash the firmware or if you don;t want to restore to stock you can use ADB to fix the files and restore your .bak

Again, thank you for the response. Do you recommend a specific method or tutorial for trying restore the original build.prop? I did search however, because this scenario is so specific I'm not sure there is an exact solution to my problem.
Again, just in case someone else can chime in, I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread (see first post for detailed info). I copied the original build.prop then changed the name of the original build.prop, edited the copy, moved it to the original directory and restarted the phone. Now my phone doesn't make it to the Verizon screen (I think it is stuck in boot loop), the screen stays black and the small led on the left corner flashes blue and green. If I can just get access to the storage I can replace the modified build.prop with the original that is still in the same directory just renamed. It seems like such an easy task but, I just don't know how to go about it I'm a somewhat of an old school tinker, I'm just now getting back into the swing of Android... Thanks in advance!!
Bump
Bump please
This is crazy... I changed 2 values in build.prop for tethering and my phone wont boot now... I didnt install a ROM, change DPI, or make any major changes WTF???
Do you have a custom recovery (twrp)?
Can you connect to your phone with adb?
If you have twrp, search the board for the startup hardware key sequence to reach twrp, else from adb do a reboot recovery.
In twrp, you can select to mount system, then go to advanced - file manager. You can delete the bad build.prop, rename the good one, then set the permissions on the good one. If your good copy of build.prop is on a PC, put it on a flash drive, and use twrp's file manager to get it into your phone.
If you have a saved copy of build.prop on your PC, you can also use adb's push command. (You may also want to look at the adb shell command. The sequence might be to open a shell, delete the bad build. prop, get the right build.prop into the right directory, then chmod the right build.prop so it has the proper permissions.)
Hello everyone.
The main thread for CM12 was closed and so I will be posting the modded mixer_paths.xml here. It will boost headphone volume and speaker volume. Be careful.
UNZIP, the xml is inside. XDA won't let me upload straight xml files. Dum.
Just drop it in /system/etc and fix permissions. Done!
Remember to make a backup of your original.
Thank you so much for this. Works great

Thanks for this. I tried it out and had distortion on music and video. Seems to be just a tad bit to loud. I ended up reverting back to stock.
I was just getting on here to ask for this. And here it is. Good work my friend.
Great Develoment
Not a total newb, but where do I need to go to fix permissions after pasting the file in system/etc?
It depends on your file browser. I use root explorer, just long press the file and it will be an option.
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm using root browser, and I see options for permissions, but it's to change them for owner, guest, and others. Not sure what they are supposed to be set at, and whether the setting should be for the file I'm moving, the etc folder, or the system folder. Messed around with them but the volume isn't changing.

awesome , thanks
Please forgive my noob/ingorance here...but I need some help.
I use ES Explorer (with root enabled) and I have no problem unzipping, grabbing the xml file & pasting it in /system/etc file.
My question is, how exactly do I then 'fix permissions' ?
Thanks in advance.
Please disregard previous post, got it & it's working great! Thank You

I have been looking for this! Thank you. And now for the very "noob" question . . . what should the permissions be set to? I am using ES File Explorer. TIA
Will this work with any cm12 variant? Like candy 5...
I did this exactly and changed the permissions and I have no sound whatsoever. I am on a sprint lg g3. Please help.

What file explorer are you using? I asked a question here days ago and - while trying to figure this out for myself - ended up in one of my "efforts" with your same situation. I finally got this to work and may be able to help you.
I redownloaded the file and installed and now works great, must have been a bad download.

Download a root browser. I use fx file Explorer. Click on the system partition and grant it root permissions open up the etc folder and overwrite the mixer_path.xml in there. After that long click on the mixer_path.xml and click details, then click where the permissions are and set them to 0644 then Reboot. Make sure to set the permissions correctly otherwise you won't have sound or end up in a bootloop. Make a nandroid before you do this so incase something happens you can revert back to that.
Edit: download it on your phone and extract it and follow the steps above. No need to do it through a computer. It can all be done from your phone.
Sounds twice as loud, thank you!

Anyway sorry. I dont have any backups
But I have installed dolby atmos on 3 devices and works perfectly. Because it boots your sound something twice or thrice for little big speakers.
If u want u can try that.
Hope u will find backups that u want.
Best of luck

Which mod did u flash the first one or the second one ?
If u still have root. Then install ES file explorer from playstore and go to this path given below:-
/system/etc
From there send me the 'mixer paths.xml' (only if its there then send)
Also 'audio effects.conf'
So that I can see if any changes are there. Just dont do anything else in those folder just copy it to sd card and then send me.
Thanks

I saw both 1 and 2 of that mod. In second one which one did u use the loud or normal.
And when I checked them i saw a lot of changes happened in your phone of audio files, more than 13 file edited and some new files.
I just edited one of your file. Try replacing it with the one I uploaded
1. Open es file explorer
2 go to left top and tap on settings
3. Scroll down till the tab 'tools'
4. In tools tap the 'Root Explorer'
5. Give permission with superuser ( it wont come if u already have given permission). After giving permission copy the file i gave and paste it in the path below.
6. Go to the path /system/etc
7. Paste the file I uploaded and 'overwrite' the file.
8. Keep holding on that file untill tick mark appears on it(which you pasted just now)
9. Go to properties of that file. ( can be on top right)
10. Tap on change permission
11. Tick all in the first column, second column only the first one should be ticked.
12. Tap OK
13. Exit everything and restart your phone.
14. Test your audio with headsets and without them.

First make sure to take backup.
Paste the file in the same path like i uploaded. Eg:- 'audioeffects.conf' i have pasted in 'etc'. So paste in the same folder of yours. Also change the permission of every thing like i told you before. Otherwise any damage can happen.
First column all,second column only first one to be ticked- permission
Permission for the folders you create - first column all, second column only first, third column all.
If the apps in your path /system/app are pasted in each folder then make folder for the apps you are pasting. Eg:- the app 'As' in the folder named 'As'
Reboot after process.
