Finally, thanks to my mod is exclusive solved the audio problem found on all ( or most) Nexus 5 ! (LINK BUG - see also comments to the news - italian)
Significantly increased the sound of the speaker , but above all also fixed the microphone input/output and speaker of the call !
In other words both you and your recipient feel ALWAYS sound loud and clean like never before. The phrase " can not hear you " ( typical of someone who has a Nexus 5 ) will be only a distant memory for you .
For the following guide takes root permissions and a file manager that allows to get into the system folder (for example Root Explorer can be downloaded from playstore ) .
1) Download the file from here Best Audio Mod Nexus 5 by fosseperme V2.xml and rename mixer_paths.xml
2) Go through root explorer ( or similar) in the system folder sytem / etc and replace the file with the old one ( after making a backup of the original file of course ) . If you root explorer problems in replacing click on the top of Mount R / W ( it displays a Mount R / O) and try again.
3) Set the correct permissions for the mixer_paths.xml file before rebooting as rw-r--r-- (important to avoid bootlop)
4) Restart the phone and try to call someone! You will see the results immediately !
NEW : Flashable Zip from recovery (Many thanks to Drummerjed)
Changelog V2
Increase audio recording (hear most of your audio / video recorded)
Changelog V1
Increase audio speaker, audio headphone and microphone audio input / output (better hear the other party on a call and he will listen to you better)

Thanks but bootloop with Purity Rom
Hi,
You should add to the OP to set the correct permissions for the mixer_paths.xml file before rebooting as rw-r--r--:
No bootloop on Purity with the correct permissions, without the correct permissions you end in a bootloop...

Hi,
Yes, but it seems that the mod here from fosseperme solves/improves the sound for call like he claims (not in the other thread where is nothing about in call sound) even if I never have not noticed any problem with sound in call...
The volume in speaker is the same as the other thread, right.
Otherwise the only thing I noticed is the cause of the bootloop...

Hi,
It's the same file that is modified so no need to revert back to the stock file, with the mod here you replace the previous file... You can even use the flashable zip file from the other thread just replace the mixer_paths.xml inside the zip.

I've fixed the low incall volume problem. BIG thanks to Arva!!! If you are experiencing low incall volume all you need to do is this:
1. go with RootExplorer (or something else) to /system/etc/firmware
2. delete default.adcb and htcleo.adcb (make sure you have mounted read/write in the folder)
3. just copy the defaut.adcb from the attached file that Arva gave
4. restart the phone (not hot restart)
and presto!! you'll have so lowder incall volume that your ears will bleed
Again.. BIG thanks to Arva!!
Just applied the fix, works nice
Found Simple Fix,
-when you recieve the incoming call accept the call turn on speaker phone and turn it of again,
good idea.. but when you change the file you won't have to deal with it every time.. it can be a bit annoing
how do you do this???? Helpppp, this is really annoing!!!

Okay, you told us to delete htcleo.adcb, but there is no file to replace it in the file downloaded.
Also what do I replace the deleted files with?
default.acdb
or
update.default_acdb.sh
?>??
YOU SIR, ARE NOT CLEAR AT ALL IN YOUR DIRECTIONS.
I agree. This works as well but its really annoying as hell!
How do you even get to htcleo.adcb???
@lemonspeaker you dont replace htcleo.adcb.. you just delete it. and copy default.adcb, the other file is for the builds from cedesmith.
@daica13 get to file with rootexplorer.. and it's written in the first post where the files are located.. good luck

Use Rootexplorer to do it.
You need root access. And Change the files to read / write
I Used Rootexplorer not sure what the heck I was doing !
But it worked ! In-Call IS Fixed!
Yep.. Worked for me.
Thank you.
Got a fix for the speaker volume for ringer and notification being low too?Ive been searching for weeks.
I have deleted the two mentioned files, but I can't paste the new file.
All the maps are read/write, but when I paste the standard file nothing happens.
I used Rootexplorer.
What am I doing wrong?
I can't open root explorer, it says something like "root explorer has not yet managed to get permissions from superuser..."
I can't figure out how to get around this!
Any ideas?

BusyBox says it is rooted. It also says BusyBox not found!
I also tried using SuperManager and when I delete files it does nothing!
I have notice a strange issue. Since I Have applied this fix the boot time is about 90 sec. If I restore the original file, the booot time is about 45 sec. Why this?
thank you ,nice work
Worked like a charm for me! I couldn't paste the file using Root Explorer, so I tried Super Manager, and it allowed me to copy/paste just fine.
Hi all,
I'm still not allowed to post it on devel forum, so I'll put that one here.
I've managed to have call record button enabled ripping some files from Korean roms and dropping them inside an european one.
I did it on Litenin' rom, but it should work on all other roms.
So, for instructions :
1) Grab the attached zip and unpack it; you'll get 2 folders (app and lib) containing each 2 files.
2) Unpack any available factoryfs.img file, mount it and REPLACE the 2 .apk (Phone.apk and Phone_Util.apk) with the one provided here; they go in app folder in mounted image; the same for the 2 lib files (libaudioflinger.so and libaudiopolicy.so) which go into lib folder of mounted image.
AFAIK that one should be done in linux.
3) repack the image and flash it to phone.
That's all ! on next call, you'll get a RECORD button and your call will be recorded in .amr format; I found that other's part voice is perfect and loud, my voice is somehow lower volume but very usable.
The small caveat is in call settings menu, on my phone it appears in english instead of italian....
Ciao

Thanks for the screenshot.
So this mod replaces the "Add call" button with the Record/Stop button. Is this function still accessible somewhere, maybe in the menu?
mhhhh... Today I've seen that when using my bluetooth headset the record button is disabled
I guess this stuff should be hacked a bit more.

Most probably because you flashed the Call Recording apks for KF1, while Litening ROM 1.3 is based on KE8.
Has anyone just copied the libs across and then used third party app (Total Recall for instance) with the standard recording policy?
I may try it later, this was all I needed to get the SGS I recording working properly.
I guess the correct way would be to have the sources of both audio libraries (.so) and apks and rebuild them after patching.
For the apk it's easy to decompile, but we should find the sources of .so, both for stock ones and korean ones, and look for differences.
Once the differences are known and sources available, it should be easy to add some useful features.
BTW, has anybody tried recording with bluetooth headset ? With mine it seems not working, and I'd like to know it it's a general problem or just mine

It should be enough to replace the apks and libs with litening original ones.

How do I push it? I'm on Litening 1.4
1 - use Root Explorer to open /system/build.prop file (open in text editor)
2- add " ro.camera.sound.forced=0 " in the bottom of the file (ps: dont include " ")
3- save and exit ,
4- reboot you phone
after booted,
if you want to disable the camera sounds (shot sound and focus sound), just changed the system sound to silent or vibrate.
you will get a no-sounds camera.
I m using ICS and it is working
odlicno!
Awesome. Tnkz!
im running ICS 4.0.4 with Hydrogen mod
AOIK 3.0.28 kernel and have an option under sound to turn camera sound off
Take a look at that option i know resurrection mod has same option
I dont have an ICS device but on my gb device I just renamed (mv) the shutter sound file and there was no more sound when I take pictures... It should be the same for ics. use an adb shell or terminal emulator on the device to "find / -name *.ogg" and you'll figure it out. You will need root to mv the file as well as to use the find command (I am not sure if you need to install bbusybox for find).
Awesome. Thanks!

I can confirm that on both xqlp7 and xwlp8 this does not work.
Part of the solution is dumping all sound files you find annoying (shutter, power connect, etc) but the super irritating LOUD focus beep is hardwired in the camera software, so it seems. I wish there was a simple hack for that!
it's working as charmed.. will settings after rom update stay or should I renew settings after every flash procedure?

My device and SDCARD was encypted, got the bootloop and had to use ODIN to get back -lost everything. I too used ES Explorer to edit-
Guess I should read instructions better
anyway- Beware, like CoinCoin says -don't use ES Explorer to edit.
When you're rooted, you can delete or rename the following files:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_focus.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg
yeah but I like the camera the way it is (basicly, I like stock things )... I just don't want it to make a noise when the phone is set to vibrate/silent. When it's on general, I'm not bothered by sounds.
The ogg files removal is an edit for all modes, whereas this tweak is just to get it working as it should.

There is a very simple fix if you are rooted on stock Moto firmware (no custom rom)
Simply use a file manager app like ES File Explorer or my personal favourite, FX File Explorer to go to /system/etc. Once there, back up the file named "audio_ext_spkr.conf" without quotes. Once backed up, open the original in /system/etc and look for a string of numbers separated by commas. Edit those numbers to read "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" without quotes. Do this for both numerical strings and save the file. Reboot the phone after you make this change. That will completely disable all audio attenuation.
i have custom rom RR - can any one tell me for that
If you are on a Custom Kernel . Download Kernel Auditor . Inside the Menu go to Sound . You can there increase the Sound boost or decrease it
can anyone please tell us how to install viper4droid on stock rom?or any other power mod to boost mainly the quality of sound.thanks.
