What you might find loud enough for your uses might not be for others! Like for me if I'm trying to watch a video on anything when I'm in a room with people talking or any noise I can barely hear anything.
I would recommend looking up ViPER4Droid. You can find the thread in the Android Software and Hacking forum. All you so is download both of the APKs (there called XHiFI and HF or something like that, forgot the exact acrynom) in the thread for your android version and put them on your sd card - there is a zip for each one and when you extract them you will get two more zips, one for 4.0 or before and one for versions after, extract the appropriate zip and youll get the apk you need. Install both of them and when you open them up it will prompt you to install a driver, look at the thread for which one to install, and then reboot and your good to go.
You then can open up the apps and there is an abudant amount of settings you can adjust. One of them being speaker loudness level.
But dont follow my instructions, the thread is very thorough and detailed! And explains everything about it, confirmed working on our device, its actually implemented into Blue Kuban already.

If you're rooted try faux kernel with the faux sound found in the market. It works beautifully there is also a beats bass enhancer that you can use with it.
****'ll Buff Out

I bought my s4 last night and the first thing I noticed was that the low speaker volume. I will preach viper mod. I came from the galaxy s2 running jellyverse 3.0 with viper pre installed and WOW the speaker volume is insane loud. On that phone. Thank you inlineboy for verification that this works. Ive searched and found nothing for s4, until now. Installing now ill come back with results.
Ok Back from install. I downloaded fx and XHiFi apks. Installed both drivers. In the Fx app I enabled eXtra Loud and sat it to extreme. Opened XHiFi Enabled it and sat both to small speakers. I did not tweak anything else and the speaker is 2x as loud. The ink effect lock screen is very loud now. Every sound on s4 is 2x loud. Overall Its a score. For those who want to fix their low volume problem, this is the it. I hope this helps someone. Im running stock rooted mdl. I rooted using chainfires method. Installed busybox.

ViperFX is amazing. I have it baked into my E4GT ROMs and I'm running it now.
One thing I found is the driver folder needs to be on the external SD Card to have the drivers show up in the app.

Thats where I found it good ole e4gt. You guys done a great job with that phone. Your roms ran so good when I got my s4 it felt like a slower phone with a bigger screen! Glad to see the same faces over here.

I am currently on The Blue Kuban ROM and it has the Viper Mod built in already. What settings should I adjust or is there something else I need to flash to get my main speaker louder?

I just installed both packages. Hit enable at top and tick xtra loud. After that it worked for me. All sounds much louder. The ink effect in public or the default text rijgtone whistle is so loud people look lol.

I am going to sound dense her but so what.....
What exactly did you do to "install both packages"?
I wear hearing aids and a louder rear speaker even for the alarm clock would be a godsend.

Quality and boost. Am I right g-ding?

Vibrate/Ring Issue

hi guys, when I use a custom ringtone, the ring seems to be cascading. for example, it starts off quietly then randomly blasts the sound full volume. I haven't touched any settings and my ringtones are all standard .mp3 files cropped with ringdroid. when I use the pre-installed ringtones it doesn't do this but it vibrates first and then rings. any tips? thanks.

It's called ascending ringtone... normal stock galaxy behavior. Most custom roms disable it or have the option to disable it. I dont think there is a stock setting to turn it off though cant remember for sure and dint have time to check.

In order to rid yourself of this, the only solution I have found thus far is the app "Disable Increasing Ring."

Disable screen-on for Stock Messaging app notification

I like the stock app for its pop-over notification, but I hate the screen-on. Is there a way to turn just that piece off?
I am rooted, so I don't know if maybe there is a db value I can flip or a method call I can short-circuit...

Here you go. I take no credit for it. I found it somewhere else on this forum, but can't find the link right now. You have to be rooted. Also make a Nandroid backup before flashing. Do it at your own risk, if anything goes wrong, it's not my fault. Make a backup of the file "snd_soc_msm_Taiko_CDP" located in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ somewhere on your sd card in case the stock volume zip doesn't restore the correct file later.
I tried the moderate volume, and it worked great. I would do the loud one, it might be too loud.
Good luck

Check out the app Viper4Android. Not only will it make your volumes louder, it also has a great EQ which will make everything sound much better.

+1 for Viper4Android or beat music player's built in equalizer is better sounding bass in my opinion if it's just music that you care about

Note 2 Dual sim N9002
Hello All,
I used this moderate.zip on N9002 worked well however it crashes the sound on the sim in slot 2 thus no sound and microphone. The restore will not work and you will have to install backup..
Please be careful. I hope we can fix the problem as the patch definitely increase the volume on everything else.

Volume steps Touchwiz

I want more volume steps as my notifications are to loud when on the lowest level.
I'm on kitkat so I tried a few xposed modules but they did not work. Anyone has a solution for this

There are some mods that do this, but they may only work for certain roms. You can certainly try them though, just make a backup first. I wanna say it's in either the dynamic pop or infamous or Rapture rom thread. I know I've seen it recently so do a search in those threads. If I wasn't at work I'd grab a link for you but I can't atm.
