[REQ] Volume Boost App

Hi there guys.
First of all apologies if this post will cause any confusion or if someone has asked before.
The volume output on nexus 4 make me feel like I'm actually deaf because of its LOW VOLUME.
Is there any volume boost apps such as the ones used on GNEX?

Just flash this equalizer and turn up the equalizer settings and you will get louder sounds.

Compared to the GNex, I thought the N4 was super loud! lol

The equalizer is more of a software side fix. I think the op is referring to something that actually sets the hardware output higher similar to what the voodoo apps do. This results in a cleaner non distorted sound compared to just boosting eq levels.

Volume+?

Speaker is actually loud. Tried different sets of top ear pieces and headphones and it was real low.
The DSP manager prescribed above helped tho.

voodoo works because the inbuilt AMP can be controlled on a wolfson; other software that is universal on all hardware audio solutions like volume+ and others more than likely just adjusts gain.
the DSP manager fix is probably the best all round software based solution as it can be boosted via EQ ( not great cause it can cause clipping), gain adjustments and DRC.
software solutions are not ideal however and i would suggest an external portable amp if your headphones require a hifi level power source, but for most portable gear (Even high end) the N4 is perfectly fine.

The output of the speaker is fine but I definitely notice the volume is lower with headphones then the Gnex. I personally don't like DSP etc as it always makes things sound distorted. The NS with Voodoo was like the best ever sound I got on my headphones.

coming from a galaxy S II the N4 volume seems much lower for certain things. The in call volume is louder however things like notifications seem lower even at the highest level. Not stoked about it.

Haven't tried it but saw this:

Temporary fix for Low Volume
I just received my Nexus a few days ago, and noticed the low volume.THe speakerphone is ok, but music and youtube a bit low. It's funny how the "professional" reviewers say the speaker is loud.
Anyway, I found a temporary fix for the music volume,until Google gets off their a__es and fixes the problem.Download Player Pro Trial from the Play Store.
On the effects menu,crank up the bass and volume knobs ,leave the EQ off. When you turn on the reverb button the volume bumps up a few notches.It works on headphone and speaker volume and it's a nice music player too.I think the full version is 5 bucks.

i think this paid $1 app works, even on franco kernel to increase speaker volume, in my bathroom, music is pretty loud!
its made for faux kernels

I like this app better, It works with a large number of kernels.. even stock

Its been working well for me, also has the added ability to touchwake, for those times when the screen times out.
edit: It will boost speaker and headphones volume. You can also adjust mic gain and a number of other cool shizz. Seriously Check it out

Audio output perfectly clean, but not very loud

As per gsmarena review audio(Music) is not loud enough. I know this, Samsung does the same to their phones. This is a big let down for me, won't hold back from buying this though.
Any suggestions on how i can improve the sound immediately after i buy this phone. Not sure what kind of dev support we may get for this phone.

The review stated the speaker. Other reviews have said the speaker is fine, and I haven't found a reviewer who hasn't thought it was fantastic with headphones. I believe he said it was a test unit and the software wasn't final, perhaps they will ramp up the volume.

May be you are right. One more week and we will have the device in AT&T stores (sep 13th). I will go test it and give an update in this thread.

i will maybe buy the G2 also and because it has S800 SoC i can ask someone who made the best soundmod or is still updating the best sound mod for hox and he is also making soundmods for his xperia z and the htc One ...so then i can ask which files to change for speaker output to see how far we can change but the speakers should be better WAY better then hox haha ...but i also hope to get his device...

A guy on head fi has reported great things on audio quality. He got a Korean model, which has smaller battery but SD card slot.

Anyone know if there are tweaks for Qualcomm chips to boost hardware volume, like it works on Galaxy w/Exynos & Wolfson?

Yep there are tweaks but zeroinfinity or me could take a look if full system dumb is available...normal headphone sound will be surely tweaked but for speaker we have to look then in

There definitely are tweaks, the Nexus 4 loudspeaker was horrible until flashing kernels that fixed it.

a quick question guys ...
How is speaker / audio level and quality compared to galaxy Note 2 ?
Im going to get my G2 tomorrow and i want to make sure i got everything covered up

The speaker is pretty loud for me. Almost as loud as note 2.i think sound quality is better on g2.

The most frustrating bit is they cap the max volume at IEM levels to 'protect' your hearing. If you want to use it as a line out or drive circumaural cans, they don't get loud enough.
Dear LG, I don't need you to protect me from myself. Let me have the full amp range.

I actually happened to compare the speaker to a friend's note 2 the other day. the note 2 was louder sitting on the table, but i've found the way it works best is when i'm holding the phone and cupping the speaker towards me. it makes an incredible difference, but i'm not sure what that does to quality. in that case it's louder than the note 2.

I wonder if there is a way to turn off the settings where it auto lowers the volume when something is plugged into it. I have a speaker I use in the restroom when in the shower, and the volume output is much much lower than with my Gnex. Also, I use my AUX cord to plug into my car (because thats the only way to get it onto my speakers, and the one part that is annoying- is that I can't access the volume buttons easily with it in the car dock.

Faux sound advantages?

guys, i see many kernel faux123 sound control. What would be the real advantage of it? Just increase the volume?

It allows you to adjust audio gain and mic gain I think (Not sure about the mic). This allows you to get cleaner audio output out of the headphone jack. I'm not sure what else it does besides that and volume boost, I have not tried it myself.
EDIT: I just tried using it and it's amazing. Audio is louder, much clearer, and generally awesome. It does work with the mic too. The improvements in audio quality are stunning, I don't know how to describe how big the difference was for me. I use Shure SE215 IEMs with my Nexus 4, and it sounds better then anything I have plugged them into now, whereas before my Surface outputted far better audio IMO.

Oneplus two sound quality in headset

Hi guys
As title says. This thread is regarding oneplus 2 sound quality in headset.
Before oneplus 2 I was using Samsung s series phones and their sound quality in headsets are awesome.
But in oneplus 2 its not even close to Samsung s series phones. Oneplus 2 phone is nice no doubts but sound quality is not good.
Is their any way or mod from that we can improve our sound quality thanks

What version of OOS do you use? Updating seems to be the solution for some people.

Without a double speaker, I can't see how anyone could make a stereo mod.

I had I will enter a stereo from external loudspeakers

on Nexus 5 and on OP 3 there is such fashion where it is possible to involve the acoustical loudspeaker for reproduction of music, games.

I also search for such a mod.
Would be great if there is such a thing.

Connect your Bluetooth speaker and problem solved.. In most other situations it's not appropriate to use full volume with gaming or watching movies anyway.. at least not in public.. unless you're living in ASIA haha

There was a mod for some phones which enabled the ear piece as a loud speaker , I'm also searching for an option like that.. That way we will get dual speaker effect

I think you have to change here in the file to increase the volume but which .
"ROOT/System/ETC/mixer_paths_tasha.xml" or "ROOT/System/ETC/Mixer_paths.xml "

you dont understand we dont need to do a sound louder, and the stereo needs effect, but you are right somehow it is necessary to adjust this file mixer_paths_tasha.xml
