Sound mod that works - Verizon LG G3

Hey guys so I was looking for a way to increase the volume on my Verizon branded G3 with no luck. Tried Viper4Android and even the mixer_path mod but that didn't work. So I looked and found this mod for the G2 which requires editing the snd_soc_msm_taiko. So I tried that and to my surprise it works. What I did was copy the file using root explorer to my sd card and then edited using a text editor on my pc due to file being to large for root explorer. Copied to directory and fixed permissions and after a reboot noticed the difference. Anyways more info is available on the following link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442883. Make sure you thank them if this helps you.

im all for figuring this out myself, but without a custom recovery to restore backups, i would rather not re-flash stock while im trying this.
if you have it working without issue, can you just post the modified file?
thanks

How can we use an equalizer? Also some ring tones on max sound a teeny distorted. This speaker is LOUD

I actually use Viper4Android along with this mod as the volume mod for the speaker within Viper4Android doesn't seem to work however the equalizer does.

Yes, I have it on mine. I could not copy the file via TC, so I just copied it and went to the Windows directory and pasted it in. You will have to do a soft reset, but it works perfectly.

Will this work for Verizon as well? Will it help the speakerphone too? I REALLY would like the speakerphone to be MUCH louder!
Thanks!

Here you go. Just extract the file and copy it directly to the Windows folder and do a soft resest. Do not use Total Commander to copy the file, I have had problems with it that way. Copy it from TC or any file explorer, then navigate to the \Windows directory and copy in the root of that directory.
"I am not sure who the real credit goes to for making this file, but I did obtain it at ppcgeeks.com"
WOW!
That worked GREAT! It is MUCH louder now! Thank you for you help!!!!!
You could also try SRSwowHD. It stopped working on WM6.1 on my Mogul, but it works beautifully on the Touch Pro.
If you try it, just make sure you select the headphones setting and slide the center setting to 100%
Access is Denied
First time posting.
I'm trying to copy and paste but an error message appears "Cannot copy "AudioPara3". Access is denied.
Can anyone help me, please?
Cab for audiopara3... it is the lighter version hope it helps... has done wonders for my fuze
Got it work - I think
The file is a zip file and I saved straight into a folder on the phone. I used the zip file program to place it within the windows folder and it certainly sounds louder than before.
Thanks for the help

This one worked well for me. A few other audiopara3 CSV files rendered my system speaker nearly useless...
where can I find the colored top bar for the sprint touch pro
I have tried both options with no success. Will apreciate any help. The first AudioPara 3 indicates me access denied and the lighter version just puts my speaker on a low front a just barely can hear music.
Audioparas can be funny..I had different results with 12 different audioparas..
And now when one of them has worked on my SEX1i, it stops working once I use and plug out my headphone...
Am still looking for an audiopara that will work for me..hehe

This fixes Bluetooth call quality (should work on most AT&T Roms). Music Streaming is another story.
I'm really looking forward to Lloir's CM 10.1 build to see if there is any noticeable audio quality difference/improvements.

First, go here for steps to root your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994961
Read the Original Post very carefully. All the information you need is there and withing the Toolkit.
Then, install ES File Explorer, grant it root access and through that app copy the file (BCM4334B0_002.001.013.0767.0777.hcd) Steve provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102995 to the \etc-firmware folder and rename or remove the original file called BCM4334B0_002.001.013.0488.0607.hcd.

I used the utility and unlcked the bootloader ( when i reboot to boot loader it says unlocked ) and i flashed a recovery as well. My understanding was rooting was yet another step.. i dont see instructions for that on that page can you clarify
when i used the es file explorer it did not let me enable the root explorer option saying my phone is not rooted
Later i realized none of this is relevant to my phone which is AT&T HTC 1x + with LTE in the US ( what a waste of time )

Rooted Users: Edit the Volume

Guys,
I can't post in the official thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/guide-headphone-speaker-volume-booster-t2819821
But I just wanted to confirm that if you root your device and follow the directions here, I've got confirmed working on the Sprint LS990 variant of this phone. The thread mentions nothing of this on Sprint or the LS990 but I can confirm that it is indeed working.
You'll need to:
1. Have root with SuperSU installed
2. Install Root Browser and 920 Text Editor (Available in market for free)
3. Navigate to system/etc and then mixer_paths.xml
4. Change file permissions to rw-r-r
5. Save to your downloads folder just in case you trash your phone or something
6. Navigate to markers mentioned in thread link above. The LS990 variant will have aforementioned markers listed approximately 15 lines later in the code. Edit them to your liking.
7. Save, reboot, pray not to get caught in limbo.
8. Enjoy having better sound than everyone else with a phone.
Just an FYI anyone attempting this: If you do not edit the permissions correctly when overwriting the file the phone will not boot. It will get stuck at the yellow sprint screen and you will have to preform a reset.
Root browser did not allow me to change permissions correctly and when going quickly I did not notice it when overwriting.
However, second attempt after recovery it worked great.
Thanks for the info TROPhouse
So i havnt edited yet but permissions look right here. Will they change after I edit and save. And then change them back right. I don't wanna get stuck since we have no custom recovery yet.
Did it. It was way worth sweatin through the reboot process. Haha.

I'm using viper. Works perfect. After installing I moved the app from data/app to system/app. Heard people were having it being stopped after using it for awhile and this was there fix for that.
Kept having permission issue and was kind of nerve wrecking with no recovery.... However, phone sounds awesome now!

What settings did you end up with. I used 68 or 69 on all mine and it's pretty good. Not sure if I want it louder or quieter but it's definitely way better than stock was.

I did 69 which seems perfect to be honest... I mainly hear music at the gym and usually use soundcloud... at 69, I don't even get close to full volume on the phone now. Its perfect
it seems like there are another few steps in this process that aren't being mentioned, like how to save the mixer_paths file because following the instructions and updating the lines I want to update then trying to save with 920 text editor ends with the message that it's a read only system file.
Anyone care to fill in the blanks as to how you get the update to stick?

Don't know if this is too late to help, but...
I don't use 920, but my guess is there's an option somewhere (probably in settings for the app) to switch the file system to read - write mode, instead of read-only. I use the FX app, and that's what I had to do with it. Be sure to set it back to read-only when you're done.

SUCCESS!
So you need to download an app that will mount your system, I used an app called mount/system. You launch it then select Mount r/w. Once you do that you have the needed access to edit the files as listed. I used this guide as well and had success....hope this helps others!
copy the original mixer_paths to your memory by ES file
edit it by notepad++ on windows and put it again in your memory
copy it from internal to your /system
highlight it and set permissions rw r r
move it from /system to /system/etc/
reboot and enjoy
Has anyone tryied playing with bluetooth volume i cant find where to change it any sugestions?
Nice, I haven't had any issues with my phone being too quiet, but I also came from a Verizon G2. Those were noticeably horrible for volume levels, so the G3 is a welcome change.
In regards to all the questions about which app to use for which function:
You could use Root Explorer, or any other file explorer that has root capabilities (ES File Explorer, Total Commander). You do NOT need to use a specific app set and if your file explorer can't mount/unmount the system partition with root permissions, try a new one because that one sucks.
You also should not be downloading three separate apps to accomplish this. It's kind of overkill to have a file explorer, a text editor, and a system partition mounter when any decent file explorer has all three of those built in. I think ROM Toolbox even has all those capabilities in the free version.

Agreed but I downloaded ES File Explorer and several others and I was unable to find the ability to mount as r/w. If the option is in those apps, it's very much hidden so an app to mount your file system then an editor was what I needed and it worked.

ES's current interface does hide a lot, and is in almost every way inferior to the original interface. But the option is there. It's also in FX (File Explorer) which is my root editor of choice.
the pursuit of sound quality! bullet for my valentine cant be heard on stock!!!!!!!
tried this. guess i messed up. stuck on spark screen. sat and read through the pages here. gotta fix my phone when i get home tonight.
what did you change you volume levels to?
So can those who have successfully made the edits share what volume levels you changed and what are the new numbers? I've made the change to mine and even with my $100 earphones there's distortion at what I feel is a low level. I'm thinking maybe there's a balance among these that I need to achieve?

[MOD] CM12 Louder Volume

Hello everyone.
The main thread for CM12 was closed and so I will be posting the modded mixer_paths.xml here. It will boost headphone volume and speaker volume. Be careful.
UNZIP, the xml is inside. XDA won't let me upload straight xml files. Dum.
Just drop it in /system/etc and fix permissions. Done!
Remember to make a backup of your original.
Thank you so much for this. Works great

Thanks for this. I tried it out and had distortion on music and video. Seems to be just a tad bit to loud. I ended up reverting back to stock.
I was just getting on here to ask for this. And here it is. Good work my friend.
Great Develoment
Not a total newb, but where do I need to go to fix permissions after pasting the file in system/etc?
It depends on your file browser. I use root explorer, just long press the file and it will be an option.
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm using root browser, and I see options for permissions, but it's to change them for owner, guest, and others. Not sure what they are supposed to be set at, and whether the setting should be for the file I'm moving, the etc folder, or the system folder. Messed around with them but the volume isn't changing.

Download a root browser. I use fx file Explorer. Click on the system partition and grant it root permissions open up the etc folder and overwrite the mixer_path.xml in there. After that long click on the mixer_path.xml and click details, then click where the permissions are and set them to 0644 then Reboot. Make sure to set the permissions correctly otherwise you won't have sound or end up in a bootloop. Make a nandroid before you do this so incase something happens you can revert back to that.
Edit: download it on your phone and extract it and follow the steps above. No need to do it through a computer. It can all be done from your phone.
Sounds twice as loud, thank you!

[GUIDE] [ROOT] Installing Viper4Android

OK everyone, there seems to be mass confusion on what to do to get Viper4Android running, this guide should help clear that confusion.
DO NOT USE THESE FILES UNLESS YOU HAVE A NEXUS 6P. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY USE FILES DESIGNED FOR OTHER PHONES.
Firstly: Are you running normal root or systemless root?
If you are running systemless root I suggest you switch over to normal root to get things working. So far, systemless root has been a roadblock for some people and Viper4Android starts acting up with systemless root installed.
Secondly: Have you flashed any of the billion V4A recovery flashable zips?
If yes, restore your system partition as those have a billion and one differently modified files that will probably screw over how your phone functions.
Thirdly: Do you have enough room in the /system and /vendor partitions?
Install the Busybox binaries (linked below) and open a terminal (using your favorite terminal app, or Terminal Emulator) and run
Code:
df
and make sure that you have enough room for the files.
If your /system partition is full, try deleting common apps like Chrome or Drive and install them from the Play Store as user apps instead.
If your /vendor partition is full, there isn't much to fix other than if you installed overlays for Layers, try uninstalling one (some overlays can go up to 400KB, like ones for Chrome). However, it may seem that you don't need to worry about the /vendor partition, more on that below.
OK, now it is time to continue.
If you don't want to follow this guide, then you can use Lollviper's recovery flashable zip, as it works just fine. Use the standard zip, and not the surround zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
Choose your favorite v2.3.4.0 version of V4A and install it to /system/priv-app/. Just create a folder with the same name as the APK, give it the same permissions as the other folders, and drop the APK in it making sure to also give it the permissions that the other APKs get. If you encounter issues with a customized version of V4A, I suggest you use the standard version. So far, Lolliviper seems to work.
Make sure to install BusyBox, I recommend this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
If the files linked below can't be downloaded, use the zip file at the bottom of this post and continue following the guide.
Now, download this file (49_viper4android.sh) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcp77ul41m...ndroid.sh?dl=0
And create a folder called su.d in /system/. The path should be /system/su.d/, and then give it permissions 0700 with root:root, and drop the script into the folder with permission 0755 with root:root. This script will allow V4A access to mediaserver, so it can see audio to do it's magic. You can make sure that the script worked on boot by checking /data/v4a_script.txt for if it exists, or, was modified recently to correlate with you booting your phone.
Now do the same for this file (audio_effects.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/57y44o74dk...ects.conf?dl=0
And drop the file in /system/etc/ AND in /system/vendor/etc/ (alternatively you can go to /vendor/etc/ as it's actually the same folder). Both of the files should have permissions 0644 with root being the owner and group. This modified file will allow V4A to be used as an equalizer and allow it to do magic in your audio. Quick note, if V4A keeps asking to install the driver, then delete the audio_effects.conf in /system/vendor/etc/ and don't worry about it.
Now the file which will allow V4A to work system-wide, like in YouTube (audio_policy.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/yi8u3j91z3...licy.conf?dl=0
And drop it in /system/etc/ and give it permissions 0644 with root being owner and group, and you are good to go. This modified file removes the "deep_buffer" module that made it so apps that don't hook into Viper4Android (apps that aren't music players) wouldn't have their audio processed. Some of the flashable zips included modified files, but usually only for the Nexus 5.
Now disable or delete the app MusicFX:
This is necessary as Google Play Music will use MusicFX over Viper4Android if the app isn't disabled.
That should be it, you can now continue with your installation of Viper4Android and it should work.
Issues:
Viper4Android still doesn't work!

Why do you guys need this? Audio reproduction is excellent and this will only make it sound worse. The only way to improve the sound would be better headphones and/or amp.
Thanks @Namelesswonder for the help .. I have not used your steps might use them based on other users findings and plus these steps will have to redone upon every ROM flash..
I believe all this could be done with a flashable zip , I know we had flashable zips for Nexus5.
@AndrasLOHF I see you have Nexus6P now , will you be able to help us out
Thanks

I haven't rooted or anything yet. From my experience on all the dev previews I would think the Lolliviper zips would still install fine just as they used to. Just don't use the Surround Sound zip.
Thank you! Works great on Nexus 6p. Can't live without the Viper.

You must be unaware the audio sound is completely subjective.

Yeah, I just checked it and Lolliviper flashable does work just fine, I'll put it up in the post. My intent for this post was to just outline how to install it without using flashable zips as people were using the wrong ones and having troubles.

You misread what I said. If you like crappy sound, you like crappy sound, nothing can be done about that. Running audio thru any software filter will degrade the quality, period.
I flashed the lolliviper zip, but viper4android keeps asking me to install drivers (even after install and reboot).
Edit: I'll re-flash and wipe dalvik/cache and try again.
Edit 2: Yup, still having the same issue. It also takes awhile for the driver install to happen too (even though it doesn't actually work).

OK then, try using my way instead. Weird, because flashing the zip worked for me. Do you have systemless root? Try renaming the audio_effects.conf in /vendor/etc/, checking the permissions on audio_effects.conf and audio_policy.conf in /system/etc/, and checking that the 50viper.sh file in /system/su.d/ at least has permissions 0755.

I don't have systemless root, but I'll look into the permissions.
Edit: All my permissions look fine. I'll try and tinker around some more. Still not sure why the driver isn't installing.
You probably need more space in the system partition. Delete an app and reinstall from there play store.

I have 1.8GB free in my system/root partition.
Edit: I solved my issue. I had to delete audio effects conf from system/vender/etc

Yes worked like a charm!
Hi guys,
How does this improve audio quality from the speakers? Coming from Boomsound the speakers on the 6P seem to lack any kind of bass. Could viper help in that department?

Because you can tune the way the speakers sound to your liking. It makes the phones speaker and any headphones sound much better than they normally do.
