You can try installing viper4android and increasing the gain, works fine for me on stock 4.4.4.

what i should use :
High Quality Mode: Available for processors with NEON.
or
Super Audio Quality: Available for processors with NEON
how to know that my processor has NEON?

Use the super quality, Nexus 4 SoC is capable of running NEON instructions.

i did,
but i don't feel any change !

Did you enable it for all the different sound outputs and then for the output you felt was too low increase the master gain? It won't do anything unless you enable it and set it up. You also need to go to sound and change the equalizer from system default to viper4android.

EQ

Does the N4 have an eq that I can use while listening to music via Bluetooth in my car? I want to adjust some settings when listening to podcasts or live music apps.

Stock should include musicfx. Other than that, there are plenty in the Play Store.

What do you mean "when I click on it"? MusicFX sucks for BT streaming anyways. I highly recommend ViPER4Android. I used to require speaker boost apps and have all my volume settings for my phone and car stereo on max just to be able to hear the streaming music. Now, with V4A I don't need any extra booster apps and my BT streaming sounds just as clear and loud as a CD.

You are supposed to use the A8 drivers for the Nexus 4 if you go by the instructions in the V4A thread. However I got better sound with the A9/A15 drivers. I also installed V4A on an sgh-I747m and the A8 drivers worked best on that device.

You really won't be able to notice it. Activating it can actually cause some issues with embedded images I've read.

[Request] recommendation for a good call recorder

Hello,
As the title says, I need a recommendation for a good call recorder app. I need an app that automatically saves my 10 last calls (or so) with the ability to save the important once permanently.
And another thing: it is important to me that it will record through 2-way kernel and not through the mic due to poor sound quality. From my understanding it is a kernel feature, and honestly, I have no idea if mine supports it or which other one does.
I run PA 3.99.1-RC1 with its official PA kernel.
Thanks a bunch in advance!

It says that the record is 00:00:00 and it is an error caused because I chose "PhoneLine" recording..

What do you mean by "no need"? The quality is way better that way
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I mean i'm pretty sure with alsa or somehow it records through audio line even tho microphone is selected. Just try it and decided for yourself.

Tried it.
Well I do hear pretty good although the sound level of me speaking is way louder than the other person on the line..
What causes the PhoneLine not to work?

I think you need kernel hack to do it and no one did it here.

Beats Audio

Hi everybody, i beg your pardon for my bad english, anyway, I had a motorola milestone 2 with megabassbests and now i installed the NexusLouderV4B1-TestBuild_2 on my nexus 4. I made a comparison and i found that the megabassbeats is 100 times better than nexus louder. Is there any way to install the mileston bests audio on my new nexus 4?

Try awesome beats. Or viper4android with beats IRS.
You will find both on xda in Android development

The Nexus 4 is a bit tricky to find that sweet spot in AMAZING sound. After hours of trial and error (No kidding), and previous knowledge of experience from other devices. I've found that for the Nexus 4 you need to flash the Nexus louder mod, and combined it with a custom kernel and use that kernel's sound settings via either trickster mod, franco kernel updater app, or faux123 kernel enhancement pro app. I'm sure there are others, but those are the main 3 I alternate in between.
I could go into specifics about my settings and my setup, but as everyone tends to say people's preference and tastes in music are all different.
I hope this helps some.
I'm using the paranoid android custom ROM Abd I do not want to change it. If that the only solution i resign myself

If you're looking to get great sound through the rear firing speaker then this phone isn't for you; viper4 android however works wonders on headphones.

No, i'm looking to get a grat sound through the headphones. I just thought that isn't strange that the mileston's beats audio works better than the N4 one

You might try both. You can adjust the output gain in viper.
