It may say headset in the title, but if you read through the first post, it gives details about adjusting system volume levels too. If you are unsure, leave a comment in the thread and @Elements1984 will help you

Yep, I have read his post and find "mixer_paths.XML" find but I don't know how to edit its. I asked for his help to edit for me. Hope he will have time and reply me soon
So you can edit that file? Thanks for your comment.

Yes that file can be edited. You can edit it 'on device' with a root enabled file explorer (I use Root Explorer) or on a pc with notepad(++?)....but make a copy of it first so that you have an original if you need it.

Contains a range of flashable zips with different volume configurations. If you have a custom recovery, you can flash them with that. If you don't, you can extract them to retrieve the XML file and manually replace / swap it with your stock version.

I have flash v4 on that thread but the volume is still normal. And on that thread, it's said that "these do not work on G900H"
Then I guess you'll have to wait for elements1984 to reply.....sorry fella, I don't have the H variant so I can't suggest anything else.....
Just be ready with a copy of your XML file....I think it'll be needed.

Hey Keithross39,
nice to see that you're still active in XDA and still so helpful, hehehe.
Thank you for redirecting people to my thread, I will make sure to help TheKingDragon as much as possible, his problem doesn't seem to be complicated and in my opinion, he might also have followed your last instructions for the V4 file (which is too loud in my opinion) but he might have set wrong the permissions or didn't restart the phone, lol. Other than that, it could also be that he used a file meant for another android version rather than another phone model, I doubt the G900H will have any difference in the XML file comparing to the G900F, it's not like they have done a "pimp my ride" subwoofer in the 900H, which then would need a few more code lines in the XML lol
I will reply to TheKingDragon in my thread in the next hour, I still have a guy to finish helping with a microphone volume problem.
Have a great weekend Keithross39
TheKingDragon, please post your XML file in the thread that Keithross39 shared with you in the first reply. I will edit it for you, but what is it that you want to increase (boost)? Phone speaker or Headset?
Hi @Elements1984 glad to see you're still active on here too......
I have your thread bookmarked so that I can easily provide a link to people who will benefit from it......
All the best......

Nice to hear back from you Keith
Thank you for bookmarking my thread, I wonder how to make it a sticky on XDA so that people can benefit from it without needing to search through a million other threads, especially that I don't "bump" my thread to the top, lol. Oh, and I have to find a way to correct the title, since there is a "y" missing at the end of "quality", lol.
By the way, I have updated the original post today since it seems some CyanogenMod ROMs don't have a mixer_paths.xml file but rather another file named snd_soc_msm_2x which is situated in : system/etc/snd_soc_msm
I thought this information might be important to share with you since most roms are based on CM and a user might ask you why he can not find the file for the sound
If you have a bit of time, I have a guy that I tried to help with a bluetooth microphone volume problem but I am running out of ideas, maybe you can bring your input or provide new ideas on what can be done, he goes by the name rk2612 and his first post is number 38 on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/guide-technical-explanation-boost-t3202087/page4
I just finished blindly editing the XML file for TheKingDragon since I don't have a similar phone to try with, lol, let's hope it works fine.
Hi @Elements1984 I'll have a look at the post you mentioned but you are the one with the experience needed to help.....I probably wouldn't know where to start.....
And as for editing the title of the thread, if you use the XDA app (as I do most of the time) and go to edit your OP, you can touch the title and do your edit.....easy as....
I'll pm a mod to suggest getting your thread sticky-ed.....just have to see what they think......

a few days ago i posted a question about turning a update.zip file to an .apk file. it worked but i couldnt install the live wallpaper because it was trying to overwrite a system file (the stock nexus LWP). im not familiar with adb so i tried using root explorer to delete the original file and replace it with the .apk of the wallpaper i wanted. unfortunately it didnt work. can someone provide the steps necessary to replace a system file like a stock wallpaper with a custom one? it would be a big help.
did you delete or just overwrite the original file?
Couldn't get the problem, same as asked by Chugga.......you can't delete or overwrite/merge the existing file??
BTW: I'm using ESFile explorer and enabled "Root explorer" and "Mount File System" in settings/root settings and never had any issues modifiying system content.
Cheers.....LinChina
Correct, either rename the original file or delete it.
I think this is more of a developer problem, i believe he has an apk file which replaces files. Like an update.zip file replaces files he turned his into an apk. But in order for the apk to overwrite system files you must call su permissions in the onCreate method.
Oh, I thought he turned a flashable.zip with a live wallpaper into and installable apk.
What is the reason behind making an flashable.zip into an apk?
^---That is curiosity and not judgment.---^

Dang, why not offer real help? I guess if you don;t know hwat you are doing you can't offer real help.
Speaking of real help. Have to figure out this problem with an updater script that is causing a bootloop now.

Figured it out. There were some Syntax errors, some undefined locations, and an unsigned apk. All is well now.
Have a ROM I'm playing about with but want to go more in depth. Needs backsmali so we can figure it out ans tweak. But I have limited knowledge. Anyone want to help out?
Thanks,

you want to backsmali what? If it's an apk or jar file than use apk manager, it gives you the option to either just unpack the file, decomplie it as well as backsmali.

Most things can be manipulated easily within xml files without backsmali, you just need some xlm knowledge.

I am a complete noob. I was trying to follow an online guide to make my note 3 look like a S5 and this required me to copy a new secsettings.apk file and delete the original secsettings.odex file. This didn't work out so I wanted to revert to the original file which I made a copy of. However I no longer have the odex file and I can't enter my phone's settings at all. I just need the odex file mentioned to go back. If someone can post it I would be very much obliged. I'm running ms-n900w8 4.4.2.
Thank you very much!

This is becoming pretty common now. I've done the same thing. Can someone direct us to a link or post their SecSettings.odex from their phone for us to use? Please. I really don't want to undo all that I've done to improve the performance after root.

Beautiful stock android bootanimation extracted from nexus devices.
------ Installation ------
Download bootanimation.zip from atttachments.
Navigate to (Root)/System/Media and replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you got from attachment.
That's it
Reboot and enjoy.
Thank You!

The default BootAnimation is in white colour and may cause battery drain.

One question:
Why would you think that the boot animation consumes more battery because of the animation beeing white? The screen of the Z5C is IPS LCD and no AMOLED.

just replace the zip in the OEM folder. No need to replace it also in the /system/media folder.
ALso this is not the right section for this kind of things . Post it in the themes section.
Moderators please move it.

Really strange to me...however if you don't replace the bootanimation in OEM folder you'll be unable to change the the stock animation from my experience. Infact it seems that the OS first picks up the file from the OEM folder ( as designed by Sony), before looking into the system/media folder
