[Q] Louder volume hack?

I've been looking around for a louder volume hack for the Legend for a couple of days to no avail. I keep seeing things about DSP Manager but as far I'm aware there's nothing for the Legend specifically. Is there a specific package for the Legend to be installed or can I just flash any old DSP apk and be done with it?
If that's not the case, what can I do to achieve louder volume levels, apart from turning up the volume level?

Search for an app called "Louder Volume Hack" (pun not intended). There are settings in the app that is suppose to reconfigure your phone's volume. Tried it but can't tell the difference honestly. So what I did was I bought PowerAMP and tweak the equalizer settings instead. Of course that only works for music and I'm pretty sure that is what your purpose, innit?

Louder Volume Hack only works on HTC devices released before the Nexus. The Legend was released after the Nexus.

I've used PowerAMP's equaliser before but it can horribly distort the quality of the music playing. I also prefer Winamp to PowerAMP, so I can't use PowerAMP.
I'd just like a hack which I can fakeflash or flash.

I was just about to post another thread now for the same requirement. So i second this thread

To be honest, if I can't find a hack then I wouldn't mind creating my own... Provided someone tells me where to look I would be okay with that.

CyanogenMOD has the DSP stuff built in.
If this is anything like voodoo sound on the sammy devices (I'm not sure) then this kind of thing has to be done at kernel level. I have a feeling that BlaY0's kernel is pretty much the same as CM's, so logic dictates that DSPManager should work. Try installing the apk, see what happens. The setting that has the largest impact is "Dynamic Range Compression". If everything gets very loud when you turn it on, it worked.

I flashed DSP Manager and located the apk inside /system and attempted to install it, but it would not install. I also noticed DSP Manager's odex file sitting underneath it - could that be causing issues? Or something else?

Volume Hack for EE02

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if there was an available volume hack for EE02 Roms.
I've used Rodderik's "galaxysvolhack_v4.zip" on syndicate rom and it worked great.
Not sure if it is flashable on a EE02 rom, or if there is an updated one available.
Thanks!

Why wouldn't you just use Voodoo sound? It's amazing.

Thanks. I've never used Voodoo before. Anything I should know as far as configuration? Thanks.

All I know is it (Voodoo) has a headphone amplifier.
I have an app called galaxy tuner you can find on the market and it has a headphone equalizer and some other cool stuff I haven't really messed with.

I love the hardware EQ in Galaxy Tuner. Unfortunately it looks like the developer has all but abandoned the app though because there hasn't been an update in ages and it doesn't work at all with Gingerbread. I'm hoping Supercurio makes good on his word of getting a hardware EQ built into Voodoo. So far he's added a bass boost, but not all the eq bands that galaxy tuner has. Voodoo Sound + Galaxy Tuner EQ is simply awesome.

Just installed Voodoo Control (FREE) from market place, opened the app, and it shows:
Sorry, this phone doesn't run a kernel supporting extended sound controls.
I'm currently running AnonymousROMi3 EF02.
Is this not compatible?

Sorry can't help you there.
I'm running syndicate frozen 1.1.0 if that helps.

Thanks. I ran out of "thanks" for the day. Will thank you tomorrow.

voodoo works great! All others seem to pop and skip at times...

Do these only work with headphones? Is there anything to up the volume of the external speaker?

Volume+ or dsp manager will increase speaker volume
Grapes

Raise the volume above the set level?

I'm an audiophile and my hearing is a bit low, anything I can flash or whatever to raise the headphone volume above the set level?

I use an app called Volume Booster GOODEV.

Serious Simple Audio Improvement (?)

Ok I'm an audiophile musician, as many of you I think
and, though stock audio just works I'm trying to look at audio mods here
I looked in many threads and I can see that ARISE is very well known, supported and loved, but looks like is very customizeable and confusing....
dolby atmos in apps section doesn't work well, it lowers volume and...well, I can't feel any improvement
viper4android should be nice, but I never tried it
now...what are you using? things that work nice and stable, with quality enhancements....don't need thousands of profiles or eq since I'm a big fan of flat sound (the way is meant to be listened)
Thank you for your attention, once we'll have some satisfactory answer I'll make a poll and a general AIO audiophile thread with all working options as referral.
EDIT: ARISE audio system simple guide​
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709
go to this thread, don't be scared, just search for lastest deuteronomy zip and flash it
you will find a nice app called viper4arise that will let you manage settings separately for every audio output with simple and nice UI
you can also import presets and plugins, but it's secondary.

Im going to tune in on this. Would like to install ARISE on my nexus (comes with Viper4Android) but there are so many versions to choose from, it gets a bit confusing.
Any tips on which ARISE works for our phone on 7.1.1 ?

ARISE is the right answer. It's customizable for true audiophiles but simply flashing it seriously improves audio quality without you having to tweak anything. Seriously. I know there are several zips for ARISE. Just make sure you get the most current stable release (Deuteronomy� 2.3.3) and I usually go for the smallest zip file because I don't need all of the extra stuff like Dolby Atmos and whatnot. It comes with a modified version of the Viper4Android app that allows you to tweak settings to your liking. The app, by default, is setup for novices or people that don't need to get too specific with any settings so you can boost bass, enable clarity options, spectrum extension, etc. by toggling the switch next to it. Simple as that.

so. you suggest to flash deuteronomy (lastest) and...just that? what about plugins, the prop editor that comes with hell of documentation...profiles and stuff...none of that?
if you're sure it works, is stable enough, simple and it has graphic (not text editing or changing files on system) settings through an app....I'm going to test it right now....

There's a zip with v4a profiles, Copy it to v4a directory in sdcard and choose Audiophile 10.0

I never did any of that. I just flashed, booted up, went into the ARISE V4A app and toggled the options I wanted. There was an immediate difference in audio quality. You can toggle the options while playing music and hear the difference.
EDIT: Oh. Make sure to disable MusicFX or whatever that nonsense is. Settings > Apps > Show system apps > MusicFX and disable.

ok! so this is a solution. I'm going to try it right now....
for anyone else who pass here, if there is any other thing you are using please reply here! we want options!
EDIT: Ok guys I tried ARISE and it works damn well, I can manage audio settings without profiles since I know how to tune that, but main mportant thing is that it works.
Now, regarding higher bitrate? or anything else?

Really depends on what you're playing the music on. I usually enabled Spectrum Extension (0.4 strength) as a lot of my music is 320kbps MP3 and Bass Boost (default settings) for Bluetooth and Headset (3.5mm jack) while enabling "Speaker Optimization" for the speaker. I mainly use the bluetooth audio in my car and while my car stereo isn't that great but I did throw some Kickers in the front doors. Spectrum Extension is awesome, but make sure to disable it if you're listening to any FLAC files.

I really only listen to music through headphones/AUX in the car so I edited some of those to the audiophiles info in the post. I turned on the spectrum extension and will see how I like it since it's all streamed from spotify (no flac).

Why do you disable MusicFX?
And it's necessary on stock too?

Because it interferes with ARISE / V4A. If you're completely stock with no audio mods there's no point to disabling it.

Re: S10+ auto volume adjustment

Re: S10+ auto volume adjustment
This issue started occuring since day 1 I had the phone. I'm using a radio app to listen to my favourite radio stations. I usually leave the radio running in the background and go to Instagram. After playing a video on Instagram the phone automatically increases the volume of the radio which is really annoying. Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to flash a custom ROM until the warranty is up. I'm willing to root the phone if there is a way for Knox to remain intact.

Not a fix exactly, more of a workaround you could try using this
http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.soundassistant
You can enable volume levels for individual apps.

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the lack of mine!:highfive:
I downloaded the app and tried tweaking it but I didn't accomplish anything. What do I need to press/activate in the app?

Yeah something's not right, i just installed and set separate sound volume for Spotify and poweramp, yet they both start at the same level.
The idea is that when you start an app its preset to a particular level.
I will continue tinkering.

Strange. Mine now works as intended but now I get the exact opposite after watching a video. The sound of the radio goes down after I finished watching the video.
One more thing. It also happends if I don't have the Sound Assistant app installed. When the phone is about to increase/decrease the sound it makes a beep.
