[MOD][GUIDE] Best Audio Mod Nexus 5 by fosseperme

Finally, thanks to my mod is exclusive solved the audio problem found on all ( or most) Nexus 5 ! (LINK BUG - see also comments to the news - italian)
Significantly increased the sound of the speaker , but above all also fixed the microphone input/output and speaker of the call !
In other words both you and your recipient feel ALWAYS sound loud and clean like never before. The phrase " can not hear you " ( typical of someone who has a Nexus 5 ) will be only a distant memory for you .
For the following guide takes root permissions and a file manager that allows to get into the system folder (for example Root Explorer can be downloaded from playstore ) .
1) Download the file from here Best Audio Mod Nexus 5 by fosseperme V2.xml and rename mixer_paths.xml
2) Go through root explorer ( or similar) in the system folder sytem / etc and replace the file with the old one ( after making a backup of the original file of course ) . If you root explorer problems in replacing click on the top of Mount R / W ( it displays a Mount R / O) and try again.
3) Set the correct permissions for the mixer_paths.xml file before rebooting as rw-r--r-- (important to avoid bootlop)
4) Restart the phone and try to call someone! You will see the results immediately !
NEW : Flashable Zip from recovery (Many thanks to Drummerjed)
Changelog V2
Increase audio recording (hear most of your audio / video recorded)
Changelog V1
Increase audio speaker, audio headphone and microphone audio input / output (better hear the other party on a call and he will listen to you better)

Thanks but bootloop with Purity Rom

Hi,
You should add to the OP to set the correct permissions for the mixer_paths.xml file before rebooting as rw-r--r--:
No bootloop on Purity with the correct permissions, without the correct permissions you end in a bootloop...

Hi,
Yes, but it seems that the mod here from fosseperme solves/improves the sound for call like he claims (not in the other thread where is nothing about in call sound) even if I never have not noticed any problem with sound in call...
The volume in speaker is the same as the other thread, right.
Otherwise the only thing I noticed is the cause of the bootloop...

the problem in call is very evident (too much) in the call recording
but this mod doesn't fix it.

Hi,
Ok, since I don't use call recording and since the OP didn't mentioned it was to "try" to fix the issue with in call recording...:

If I flashed Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost mod for the Nexus 5 should I revert back before doing this process? Or does it even matter?

Good Job, works fine.
Thanks

Hi,
It's the same file that is modified so no need to revert back to the stock file, with the mod here you replace the previous file... You can even use the flashable zip file from the other thread just replace the mixer_paths.xml inside the zip.

LOL, it's what I've done and it's how I found why there was bootloop (nowhere in your OP it was mentioned to set the correct permissions, then a user reported a bootloop and I realize this) ... then you have updated your OP since my first post here...
I know how to do (by use I had set the permissions without your "guide) but a zip file is more covenient for some users that's all...

Bootlop is because you don t modify permission file after replace.

B324 - Media playback, low volume FIX

Hi all!
As you know the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 output volume is not the highest among smartphones. This will be a problem is you choose a headphone, that requires more power for adecuate volume levels. Had the same problem on my Ascend Mate 1, the solution was in etc\audio\codec folder.
Was able to locate the two files for my region (Hungary), by removing these two files or moving it back to the codec folders (restart is required after that) rises or lowers the output volume significantly:
ascend_JAZZ_ULCA_ce.xml
ascend_JAZZ_ULCA_normal.xml
After looking up Android Hilfe P7 forum I found the best solution. Big thanks to the user "XQC" he found the rows I was looking for.
So with Root access I edited the two files and made the following modifications:
Line 231 <reg name="HI6401_S4_OL_GAIN_INT">0dB</reg>
Line 232 <reg name="HI6401_S4_OR_GAIN_INT">0dB</reg>
Line 279 <reg name="HEADSETL PGA VOLUME">0dB</reg>
Line 281 <reg name="HEADSETR PGA VOLUME">0dB</reg>
The original values are negative values. After you save the changes to the files need to restart to hear the difference. This will only increase the media playback volume in theory, I had problems with high incoming ringtone volume with removing the files, but now it is good.
UPDATE:
B560 - Media playback, low volume FIX, without root (unlocked bootloader)
By the time I am writing this update it is not impossible, but it is problematic to gain root access on ROM version B560. To do the same "low volume FIX" I found a solution that works the same:
You need:
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.0.2-0 for Mate7 / Android 6.0
- 7-Zip on a PC
The process:
Flash the before mentioned custom recovery. In TWRP do a backup on the system partition without compression and md5 check. Copy the backup file of your system partition (.img file) to your PC. Rename the files extension to "tar" and open it with 7-Zip. When opened navigate to the codec folder. When you find the 2 files responsible (see original post) right click and edit them (see original post), when you finish save the files and update the archive. Rename the files extension back to "img" and copy it back to your phone. Restore the system partition in TWRP. Done, you should have the same effect, no volume limitation on the audio jack (needed for high impedance ear phones).
IMPORTANT! Before you edit your system partition file in 7-Zip, make a copy of it just in case!

this mode work great with orginal box headphones from huawei mt7. I try and its louder and good for me. Thanks
Here you have modded file
https://mega.nz/#!xkRHSLqY!uU5NxmgQVZ8khDZNmv_qmH75JndBkK0pKZuacLsaN-U

Just been looking at this with my Mate 7. How do you know which file to alter? As in, region?
I've set my location from US to AU in buildprop.
Pretty sure mine will just be an international setting for Australia so I did it to the default file instead. Does seem louder. I had raised AGC and bumped gain up with ViPER4Android but now set back to 0 in that. Still loud
It can actually make me feel a little uncomfortable after a couple of songs. Have to check in car sound level but on headphone it's not distorted, just loud.

Dude i love you

Update
Workaround for ROM version B560, without root but with unlocked bootloader.

Thanks a lot for the tip, it works very well on B571. Very happy

Glad to hear! I updated to B571 after I made the modification on B560 without root (needed to flash back stock recovery).

How to REALLY increase your Honor 7 maximum volume

I've seen a lot of methods posted here, none of them is really working. The easiest and most effective way is this one. (Headphones only)
You need a rooted device and a file manager with root access.
Go to root\cust\hw\eu\prop and open local.prop with an editor. Search for the "ro.config.ce_authenticate=1" line and add a # before it. Save the file.
Now go to root\etc\audio\hi6402 and look for the "mixer_volumes_PLK_L01_ce.xml" file, and for the "normal" version of it. Delete them both. You may want to make a backup of them, in case you want to return to the previous situation. Now look for the two "PLK_TL" mixer files and rename them both. Change "TL" with "L01".
Basically you're tricking your honor 7 into taking the asian variant values for the audio, so you'll get the full audio output of that model.
Reboot and you're done.
Volume is MASSINGLY increased. Viper4Android will optimize the quality and make it sound even louder. Please don't listen to your music at maximum volumes for a long time.
If this is useful to you please say thanks

Flashable .zip
I just quickly made a flashable .zip that replaces a few values in the two files,
so that you don't need to do any tinkering whatsoever , just flash it
Since i cant seem to attach the file i had to upload it to somewhere else (Mega):

Hello it possible do the same for the phone speaker? When I receive a call most times I don't ear the phone playing even volume is in maximum.

Thanks for the guide

There is a very simple fix if you are rooted on stock Moto firmware (no custom rom)
Simply use a file manager app like ES File Explorer or my personal favourite, FX File Explorer to go to /system/etc. Once there, back up the file named "audio_ext_spkr.conf" without quotes. Once backed up, open the original in /system/etc and look for a string of numbers separated by commas. Edit those numbers to read "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" without quotes. Do this for both numerical strings and save the file. Reboot the phone after you make this change. That will completely disable all audio attenuation.

i have custom rom RR - can any one tell me for that

If you are on a Custom Kernel . Download Kernel Auditor . Inside the Menu go to Sound . You can there increase the Sound boost or decrease it

can anyone please tell us how to install viper4droid on stock rom?or any other power mod to boost mainly the quality of sound.thanks.
Peace to all

Another process that sometimes works is as follows...
Enable developer options and set Bluetooth Audio a codec to SBC
(Arguably an older codec but volume much louder for me )
