Hi there,
I was getting posts and messages from people who wanted my volumeboost updated for Z2 and Z3, so eventually, I did that.
There's virtually no quality loss in this mod, no dirty hacks, no workarounds.
Z2 is based on lastest stock files as of 13 november 2015, thanks @Jackos
Z3 is based on 23.4.A.0.546, eXistenZ 3.5.0. files (although it seems pretty close to stock, but it might be a bit louder than Z2 mod, report back) thanks @Beetle84
Z3 03.12.2015
Z2 03.12.2015
Please do report back guys if it's too loud, to quiet, whether there are any issues, in the past everything was working well, even on different devices that the mod was originally created for, not to mention different firmwares. Although the zip SHOULD make a backup, it would be better if you make a backup manually, whether backup /system in recovery or just copying /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml to some other directory outside of system.
As always, you do it on your own risk and it's provided AS-IS.
Enjoy!
PS. None of the files are done automatically, all of the changes were made in gedit by hand (linux notepad, just cos I was currently on it). Z2 and Z3 mods were done completely separately.
Hi mate, Z3 version fails to flash, its only 12.5kb, maybe a bad upload?
EDIT: my phone was the issue, it didnt like downloading from dev-host, downloads fine on my PC. Working loud and clear @olokos, thanks mate, awesome work, your time is greatly appreciated.
works fine with debloated Z2 Stock D6503_23.4.A.1.264 and cable headphones
please, could you make BT-Headphones louder too?
sorry for bad english
edit:
i have only changed mixerpath.xml with rootexplorer (644). i did not install the *zip
Thanks guys, glad it works first try.
About bt headphones - I was trying to figure it out a long time ago and I couldn't figure out where it is defined. It's simply not in the file I modified. Most likely it would require modyfing some apks that correspond to bluetooth in /system or even kernel modding. Another thing could be that the volume is limited in the bt device itself.
pushed and permissioned 644 (not flashed) in z3 compact, works very well. Good job! thanks.

Hi mate, the z3 zip is working absolutely perfect with existenz 6.3.0, thanks again for this, perfect.
Hey buddy, there's a LOUD screeching noise when using earphones during a call. Everything else works perfectly!
PS Flashed through recovery, cleared dalvik.
Could anyone please tell me how to restore from the backup made by the zip?

Hello everybody! can you please tell me, is there any improvements done on Incall speaker / mic?
And is the volume of third-party apps, like YouTube or streaming apps (like online radios), affected in this mod?
Thank u much)

What are your headphones? Make and model? Or at least do they include a microphone or are you just talking about regular headphones and speaking to the phone mic?
If the backup worked (I think it did) then you should find the old file in /system/etc called mixer_paths.xml.BAK, just delete the new one and remove .bak from the file name.

I use the in box earphones which come with HTC One, yes they do include a mic. Listening to music and videos are fine but whenever you make a phone call, whether through the dialer or any app like fb messenger there's a very loud screeching noise.
It's propably due to too high volume on headphones call case. Please do send me another pm on the next weekend. I've got 2 projects on my todo list before this.
I'm sorry guys, but unfortunately I'm giving up on this. I don't have as much time as I did before and I need to focus on school and my more important projects. If you want to fix it then copy original and my mixer_paths.xml to some diff tool and check the changes I made. Then lower the one you want to change.

Sometimes when I plug my earphones in, the music player shows it as playing, but there's no sound in the earphones. When i remove them, it works fine through the speakers. Tried using different earphones, but same result. Have to restart the phone to be able to use the earphones again.
I have been experiencing this problem since 3 days now.
Has anybody else experienced similar problems? Any solution?
I'm using stock Gingerbread on Moto Defy+.
Please ask all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
At first, I see only 2 options, despite trying another ROM:
1 - Try other music players.
2 - Be sure that you haven't changed any option in any Voice Search / Dialer. And if you have changed, try to reset to default options.

Hmn... in tha case, there's still a lot of things to do.
If the problem is with the phone's jack, you can try to clean it with a blow or compressed air.
There's a bunch of apps, like Ringo Pro, that are known to cause some similar issues, as reported in this thread: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6f261e8427?commentId=564506#564506
After all, if you'r not willing to root and flash other roms in your phone, you might also try bluetooth earphones.

If dust etc were the problem, it wouldnt have worked after restart.
I went through the forum in the link. I havent installed any such app recently. The post might be useful for future though, thanks for that.
Hi everyone, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum (I'm new here). I had flashed my Samsung Focus 1.3 with the Clean Rom 3.05 (WP 7.8) yesterday without any issues. However, today when I tried streaming music to the car using Bluetooth, I noticed some sound distortion.
At first I thought Zune may have downgraded the quality of my mp3s, and so I transferred them again after making sure the audio conversion was not selected. Unfortunately, the crackling and distortion was still there. To make sure it wasn't my speakers, I switched to a different audio source and music played without any distortion even at loud volumes. I also felt that the bluetooth streaming quality was better prior to flashing the custom rom.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve my bluetooth streaming? If not, is there a way to switch back to the factory rom?
Thanks for any advice you can provide!

Hi, thx for pointing this out. I made some changes to some A2DP settings in my HD2 ROM in an effort to stabalize it a bit (HD2 has issues) and I carried them over to this ROM (something that I will remove in my next build) but to change the values back you can delete the following registry entries.:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"BitPool"=dword:1E
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:50
"UseJointStereo"=dword:1

That's fantastic news!! I love the work you did on the Clean ROM and was hoping I could keep it rather than flashing back to the factory rom!
Are there instructions on how to go about making this registry edit? I would really appreciate it!
Also, are these values the "default" A2DP settings found on the stock Samsung focus?
Thanks again!

The value I posted above aren't set at all in the factory ROM so just removing them should be fine. I would use Root Tools to do the edit. It can be found over in the WP7 Dev forum.

Hi, i'm encountering a problem with the microphone of my one plus 2 that occured right after installing this custom ROM :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/6-0-x-cyanogenmod-13-oneplus-2-t3292436
What happens is that the mic doesn't work when making a normal call, but works just fine with audio notes/skype/whatsapp etc.
I'm thinking about 3g/4g problems since the mic works with wi-fi services as i see. Does anyone have the same problem? It's preatty annoying...
FUN FACT: my girlfriend called me 4 times today and couldn't answer because of this... needless to say she got angry at me :crying: sooo it's urgent :silly:
On OxygenOS I had Cortana and when I was using Google now microphone and others apps which requires microphone I didn't work but for calls it worked for me and I don't know if there is Cortana is CyanogenMod 13 but if you disable/uninstall it I think i'll work (for me it worked)

Enable root, go to File Manager, /system/build.prop
change true to false in "persist.audio.fluence.voicecall"
credits to the person who shared,.
If it doesn't work, revert to Oxygen, clean flash again. Take backup though!

I can't seem to make audio mods to work with bluetooth, by work i mean have an effect on the output. If i restart my phone viper will say its processing but stops after a little while. I can't seem to figure it out and i feel like its just me lol.
my specs:
*android 7.0
*h91810q
*rooted with super su
*twrp 3.0.2-1
I don't have anything custom installed yet just viper. Anyone know what it could be?

WETA has an app called blureset in his ROM that can successfully activate processing by faking a phone call or something. That's what I've been using ever since I've gotten the phone. You don't need to use his room to be able to use it either
I actually have it set up so the smart settings activates it upon connecting to my car stereo so it does it by itself. Kinda handy

Some people have reported never having to use this tool in the ARISE thread. I've lucked out on a few different configs and setups for a little while but I always end up having to reset the phone to get it to process again but with the blureset it's rock solid up until you disconnect from the device. Everytime you reconnect you will have to activate the blureset again.
Pretty sure we're has just the APK by itself in AFH folder somewhere I'll try to find it for ya that way you won't have to download the whole ROM just to get it.

Ya now that you mention it, I was in a forum about dolby and they said something like arise had a setting when changed fixes the issue.. I just can't for the life of me find it again.
i downloaded weta's Blureset.apk and it does make dolby work. I just wish someone could trace what is causing the problem but, a band-aid is better than nothing.
Just as quickly as it worked now has permanently stopped working even with Blureset. I found this frustrating so i removed all audio mods. Also, final thought ARISE is a battery killer so i wouldn't recommend it. Thanks for the help tho!

ARISE works great for me but I don't have every single module installed. There is a bit of trial and error involved finding out what works and what doesn't. AM3D doesn't work on nougat so if you installed it there was a glitch that made it just sit there and auto restart trying to run but it couldn't. With ARISE ingot away with just flashing the core module, Viper, Atmos and DIRAC.
Theres a viper package thread by the creator of NATF MEGArom that I have installed right now and it has worked flawlessly ever since (cept for the Bluetooth having to use the blureset thing). Let me find the link
[[[[EDIT]]]]] Here it is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/17-feb-2017-viper4android-2-5-0-5-t3558359
If you want Atmos or Dolby I got it from Ahrions thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342
And I'm using the axon 7 Atmos version
Hey that actually works!
Install note
install the Viper Nougat by natf
THEN Dolby Axon.
Wipe cache then reset.
Using blureset works to restore bluetooth audio processing ....for now lol
Issue is also Magisk. If you use SuperSU, seems as if the problems go away.
Hello everybody,
When I try to make a video or audio recording using an app that is not from ZTE, the audio is really garbage, specially if there is music around.
I've attached some audio files(I had to zip them because xda didn't let me upload the files separately) to show the huge difference in quality, check it out, the same part of the music, but the sound is horrible!!
And it is the same if I try to make a video, using the camera app is really good, but if I use Instagram/Snapchat the quality drops to almost nothing.
For example, if I want make a snap while in a barbecue with friends and there is some music going on, I better forget, because nobody can distinguish the voices and the music..
Anybody knows how to fix this?
It is really annoying and unsatisfying to use the phone

That's probably because the stock apps are adapted to use the AK4961. You can try a custom ROM maybe (LOS might do the trick). Try to dual boot LOS to see if this fixes your problem
@renatop,
Have you tried in other APP, or such problem all happen in music APP? Have you fixed your phone's problem yet?

Well yes, but i guess you mean if you can do it without unlocking the bootloader, in which case no. you have to unlock the bootloader to be able to install a custom recovery, and then install a custom ROM like lineageOS. The thing is, you won't have warranty and unless you relock it (which means going back to stock) you'll have to pay a fee if you need to repair it.
If you install a custom ROM you'll have a close to vanilla Android system, like Nexus/Pixels or moto phones. Most things work differently there, for example the camera is slightly worse and the phone didn't use the dedicated DAC until practically a couple of weeks ago. But it usually solves problems like this one.

Ah ok...Thanks for the info!
I was interested in changing my ROM but the DAC issue was something that hold me back...
Maybe I will try this later...
Someone else with stock ROM could also do this test to confirm that this is not only with my phone...
