[Mod]{Root}T-Mobile V10 Volume Boost - T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development

Here is a simple modified mixer path that increases headphone volume. I use viper4android so I keep my hifi DAC turned off. If you turn on DAC, you're going to have to mod a few other fields to boost the volume. Mixer path and how to:
1. Download mixer-paths.xml
2. Using a root explorer, mount R/W and navigate to system/etc
Rename current mixer-paths.xml to mixer-paths.xml.bak
3. Move modified mixer to the same folder (system/etc)
4. Change permissions to 0644.
(rw-r-r)
5. Reboot
The mixer-paths.xml.bak is your original and backup. Don't delete it.

Edit2: Added stock mixer path link below.

Edit 3: For anyone not using v4a and miss having an EQ in Google Music settings, there are certain EQ apps that'll work and add the setting back to the menu. I won't link to the one I'm using until I get the ok to link it.

so wait, you prefer viper4android over the ESS dac? that seems interesting, please offer your opinions
nice mod by the way, does it also impact, improve the speaker? I have one on the way out of curiosity, but I keep reading how poor the speaker and bluetooth output are. Does viper make a noticeable improvement?

I'm sort of obsessed with audio but not quite an audiophile lol. I do like DAC for my flac files locally stored. But I stream 90% of the time and the DAC driver doesn't handle that as well. Plus the DAC driver is only applies to the jack so if you Bluetooth stream, it doesn't apply. And v4a is such a noticable improvement. I can tweak so much it blows people away when I play v4a vs DAC. It takes a lot of work to tune viper but it's totally worth it to me. I use the expert settings.
This mod is just for the headphones but I can do one for Bluetooth and speaker if you want. The speaker on this v10 sucks though. It's really bad actually lol

If you want to be my guinea pig, here is an advanced modified mixer with ext speaker mods and DAC mods for headphones. I haven't tried it yet but in theory it should work. Lol. Don't anyone else try this file unless you know how to undo it. I'm not responsible for blown speakers, ear drums, or women throwing panties at you cuz your speakers kick.

I'd love to try it, but my device won't arrive for a few days ground. Thanks though

Well I'll try it tomorrow and tweak it in time for your device then. Haha

I'll try it.
When I get home.

Haha You gotta get out of work first my friend. let me know what it sounds like. I changed a few decibels and hrtz along with some DAC stuff.
I got DAC to work with viper but requires some low level work. Regardless, you should be running SEL permissive if you're going to do anything with v4a.

Or you could just edit the mixer paths file your self...... What I did

Yup. But I found it easier to just do a swappable file to save my thumbs from typing out line numbers.
Wait did you only change the top ones like in your screen shot? There are a few more lines throughout that I had to change to get the volume boost without distortion and popping.

Lol we both had the same thought at the same time. I'll do a screenshot.

Can you make a stereo sound. I know the speakers sucks so there's no point in making it louder so some sound coming out the ear speaker would help even if it's just a little bit.

No worries. If you want to try before I get it posted:
Install v4a as user app
Install the driver
Under developer options turn on Awesome Player
Set SEL to boot permissive
Reboot
If that doesn't work I'll have a post up tomorrow.

Increase volume?

Is there anything that can increase the volume?
I have tried "Volume+" and other apps but they don't work.

Not only does the FX app have the ability to increase onboard speaker volume it is also an excellent audio tweaking app with equaliser etc.

Now that the installation of Viper is much simpler than when it originally came out, I do prefer it to other audio mods. :good:

Yea, it just installs as an app and when you open it, it installs the drivers itself. Being able to increase onboard speaker volume is a big plus for me too.
Oh awesome. I never was able to get it working before because of how complicated the mod was. If it is that easy now then I will be switching to it.

Yea, it actually couldn't be easier.
I installed it on my phone and it was saying that I didn't have Busybox installed, but I did. I got round it by installing the previous version of Busybox. Don't know what that was about but just a heads up for you.
Nice find! Thanks.
I've tried a few eq apps and mods and the improvements were marginal or worse. I'll give this a shot.
Unfortunately I do not see an option to enhance the speaker output after installing the Xhifi version (only for Headset and Bluetooth). So it looks like I am back to King BeatZ since I mainly use the speakers for things.
You need to install the FX version, not the xhifi one. Xhifi is only for headphones and hands-free device.
After installing the FX audio mod make sure to set it to compatibility mode if you don't notice any difference, at first.
Hope this helps!
Ya but I dont want the FX. That is mainly for as it says, FX on the audio. It does not try to restore lost audio quality from compression and such.

Viper4Android settings?

I just installed this and it looks very cool, but it's pretty overwhelming. Any suggestions for which .IRS files work well with headset, speaker, and bluetooth headset? For bluetooth headset I've also got my regular mono one for phone calls, and I have a stereo bluetooth one from Jaybird so I'd assume they use different settings. Speaking of, what do you guys put the settings at as well.
I looked a bit at the Viper4android thread, but it's like 700 pages long.
Before you get you A$$ handed to you for not following the rules i will spare you the moment of humility and provide you with this since i was stuck in the same situation you were but simply went to google and entered "Viper4android settings" and stumbled upon this which HELPED me!!!!!

Oh, I didn't realize I was breaking a rule. You mean we can't discuss optimal settings for an app for our phones? The only rule I see that might be loosely tied is using search, but I have searched. I have searched and am aware of the main 700 page thread, and also the English viper website, none of these have users discussing the G2 specifically. I'd rather avoid that 700+ page thread since I am specifically asking about the G2 in the G2 forums and what settings work well for others.
Just to repeat, I'm not looking on how to get the program to run or install it, I am looking for other G2 owners feedback on which particular modes worked well for them. I thought it might be a nice discussion.
If I'm breaking the rules please delete my thread then, my apologies.
Moving on..
I don't use the bluetooth headset so I can't help you on that.
But for the headset, I realised that using the xHifi setting under clarity gives quite a little whitenoise. But not using makes your music sound muffled , so I guess it's a trade off(unless you know how to configure the IRS files). I am using my mid range sennheiser CX-300II without any IRS filters, cos none of them work well. You could try loading everything into the folder and going through them 1 by 1, or even making the file which is rather tedious. I couldn't be bothered, the playbackgain control and dynamic system is enough for me.
If you plug your phone into powerful speakers (I have a bose 321 but damn those things make the windows shake) you MUST turn off the VIPER bass and reduce the dynamic bass to ~15%. Differential surround(Haas effect) makes the sound sound off center on speakers so avoid it.
I noticed G2 doesn't have music effect setting, am i suppose to assume that viper is on?
No it's not that simple. What I did was:
1. Install the drivers
2. Backup build.prop then change the lines specified in the main thread for Viper
3. Install google play(doesn't work on stock LG player for me)
3b. (unsure if really necessary) Disable stock LG player
4. Reboot
5. Wait for boot to complete and see all the superSU permission flashing...
6. Play something, then go into viper, enable the first option on the speaker tab and check the "driver status". It should say that it is installed/normal, that it is enabled and that it is processing. To really be sure go play around with the settings but be careful with the gain (don't ramp it sky high and drop your phone in shock)

I just installed the app and it does all the necessary things for you. But still, Viper4Android sucks for our phone. The driver it installs significantly lowers the audio quality. With a huge amount of tweaking you can finally get the quality back up to where the G2 is at stock. Everyone is better off not using this mod for the G2 unless the author gets a much better audio driver designed for our chipset
check out the V4A audio profiles... it gives a great shares from people on settings... try them and check out the one you prefer

Yeah I don't know how happy I am with this app yet. I can get stuff louder, but I hear more distortion, but I have to play around a bit. One odd thing is that different things have different volumes after installing this. For example, my speaker phone when in a call is nice and loud, but when checking voicemail it is very quiet, kind of odd and I can't figure out how to selectively fix these things so I may be forced to uninstall.

I think you guys really don't know what you're taking about. The clarity viper adds to the sound on both my stereo and my headphones is absolutely unreal. After having set up viper, I think the biggest flaw of a stock g2 might be the dull und muffled sound it transfers to proper speakers.

Think what you want but the drivers this uses noticeably took away from clarity in all aspects of the sound. Every speaker setup can sound different so maybe this type of sound just works better for you, my high end systems though it definitely takes a lot away from the audio

neither am I nore do I have a high end soundsystem so I don't notice the difference to the worse. Who listens to anything on a high end soundsystem through a phone?
On my dynavoice speakers and my b&w headphones my music gets several different new dimensions using viper, regardless of the code of the driver.
Edit: of course every setup and every set of ears gets different subjective results. But it's so obvious that the sound is so much better with viper

This is my headphones profile. I haven't set up one for the phone speakers. It's a modified copy of something I found somewhere on xda. I guess you can just create a headphone profile yourself and then copy in the following text instead of what it says in your backed up profile. But I'm not sure if that will work or if it will destroy your phone and kill your family. You will find your profiles (once they are backed up) under storage/emulated/0/viper4android/profile. This works on my headphones and with my ears, that doesn't mean it will work for you. Here it goes:

Just install Power Amp or similar and play with the equaliser. You'll find it eventually but, in looking, I'm sure you'll find settings that sound far better (unless you're tone deaf of course).
Can anyone assist? Any luck with installing bass beats on LG G2 from package or running system, instead of having it installed with system ?
Any news here ?
If you are rooted the best sound mod I have personally seen is Viper4Android... Amazing software that gives you the ability to adjust just as you want ....
If you aren't rooted then the only option you have is to install another app like Poweramp or another music player with built in good equalizer

Not really. Unless you can't afford.
I had previously HTC Sensation XE and the sound was amazing when I connected
my Sennheizer headphones.
Now on LG G2 sound is
No matter what I install, including viper and other equalizers I cannot get the same sound as I had on HTC with Beats.
There must be here someone was compiled a rom with beats in it... Where to take it from ?
Ugh... All beats products are terrible. Both software and hardware.
If you want the beats sound signature on your lg phone, then just use viper and tune it for bass and make it drown out all mids and you got it.

this.
in the audio world, Bose stands for Buy Other Sound Equipment. They make high quality, proprietary audio equipment that's not compatible with other systems, and that is extremely overpriced. Their headphones and speakers are quality products, but you pay way too much for them.
Monster Cable makes overpriced audio cables. They are quality cables, but often needlessly so. there's absolutely no reason to buy a $100 hdmi cable. ever.
Beats by Dre is a combination of the two. Their headphones and speakers are of medium quality, tuned for deafening bass and terrible mids and highs, and sold at Bose prices. Their HTC Boom Sound software crap adjusts your phone's sound profile to match their ****ty headphones.
I would consider going deaf before using any Beats products.

Regarding viper 4 sound, I have no experience. however if the software requires root you may need to ensure the app is approved for root access in SuperUser or SuperSU. otherwise it will not have root access and will not be able to make any changes to the android system (ie it won't work)

Hmmm... but when I don't have the euqalizer in PowerAmp then sound quality is rubbish...
Also, when I go to Viper4Android and click driver status is shows that tit's not processing the sound...
But I am happy to try. Pls can you describe in steps how you managed to have it working ?

Not really. Unless you can't afford.
I had previously HTC Sensation XE and the sound was amazing when I connected
my Sennheizer headphones.
Now on LG G2 sound is
No matter what I install, including viper and other equalizers I cannot get the same sound as I had on HTC with Beats.
There must be here someone was compiled a rom with beats in it... Where to take it from ?

Did you turn on musicfx in poweramp and disabled direct conrol , tone .
This seemed to do the trick for me (for viper4a)

I don't have that option. When I install V4A and Beats the standard music player on LG G2 with 4.4.2 activates it and it works.
Power Amp on LG G2 does not. I guess this is how I should start this thread but I just realised now. When I was using power amp on HTC with beats I had a button for Beats and SRS. No such thing in kit Kat for LG...
Is there a file or option in Android that I could modify and add power amp as a player ? The system must know when to activate sound processing when a music or movie player starts, but power amp does not activate it/is not on that list I guess...
Viper4android is actually a universal sound mod
So if it is activated any sound coming out of the phone will be altered by it , be it music or youtube video or anything else for that matter..
But since poweramp has its own equalizer you'll have to disable that and select viper4a in MusicFX in Tone/vol section
Btw which rom are you on? Because it worked for me on stock and cloudyflex but not on mahdi (viper4a doesnt affect poweramp)

Audio Effects??

I have made changes to Settings > Sound > Audio Effects for both wired and speaker and have yet to notice any difference regardless of the changes I make. Even when I make extreme changes just to see an effect I get nothing. Has anyone been able to get a noticeable change my modifying these settings?
Thanks.
Bump... Anyone?

It's a Motorola issue. I had a Moto X Gen 2 and the EQ settings didn't work.

Disabled it using player pro
In other words just use different audio effects software?

Anyone want to recommend a couple of good equalizer apps?

I've experimented with various EQ apps and the one I really like is called Equilizer FX. It doesn't switch/reset the last profile used and I like the profile settings and effects.

Thanks! I'll give it a go... Update: Works perfectly! And it integrates with Settings > Sound, unlike the others I have tried. I'll test it in the car on my way home and, if I continue to like it, I'll pay the $.99 to support the dev.
I use Rocket Player. It doesn't equalize all audio but it works very, very well for me when I listen to music. If you pay for the premium version you get a 12 band equalizer which is nice
I use Equalizer by Smart Android LLC. I dig the interface and like that it can auto select a preset based on the song you're listening to. If you get the paid version it can even auto select from streaming services.
Viper was the best. Wondering if any ex-Viper users have found any non root apps that they would approve of. Hopefully there's something out there that comes close to Viper.
I tried equaliser fx, liked that it replaced the stock audio effects in settings, it works ok, going to try a few more, really really miss viper!
I never really understood equalizer settings. Not sure what all the Hz's and dB's mean. Does anyone have a custom preset that would be similar to Viper's Treble Booster profile?
I get the differences loud and clear when I move it around.

It's simple. Db is decibels which associates to volume or amount you put to the frequency. Hz from lowest number is bass but once you get to the 100hz it's more mid range bass then khz is thousands of hz so like 10khz is 10,000 hz so that's treble for example
You and me both!!! Viper is/was AWESOME!

Please check in if you find any others that are good. Equalizer FX seems pretty good, but some of the settings don't seem to stick for me. I paid the $.99 to support the dev after I tried the free version, but I think the free version actually may work better than the paid version.

Pure Nexus. Working perfectly.
I can't stand sound mods that involve more than one app. Just the other week I found something that looked promising, installed it, and then I had viper/Dolby/some Sony eq app/ and some terminal commands. I hated it. I don't see the point in it. Unless you have a few hundred dollars in any type of sound system, and even then most of the tuning can be done from amps/eq
The most Ill go is viper4android ALONE. and even when I do that, I have to modify my goto interactive governor tweaks to eliminate clipping and distortion when the screen turns off.

Try Arise. You will only need to set up V4A, nothing else. If you experience crackling with it, try sonophilo's setprop instead of the default one (instructions in the thread), it usually eliminates all distortions for me. And the quality on the "Numbers" release is hands down much superior to basic V4A installation (i am using also the optional Atmos add-on, i use it instead of v4a equalizer and it's better imo) .
the ARISE sound mod is working for me... it work mm like stock and pa and also works on android nougat
Arise numbers is the best I've used so far. Much better sound quality than just using V4A or ViperAtmos.

Is ARISE working on CM13 too? I have tested and used it on Pure Nexus And its Awesome. Just THinking if our device had a much better DAC chip it would blow my earphones

Should work but not sure since I've just tried Arise with Pure Nexus.
hello, can anybody teach me how to install ARISE step by step? because I flashed V4A on PN with EX kernel and although I didnt have 'driver' issues, the v4a doesnt effect the sound itself. already tried changing values in EQ but no effect.
