Does anyone know of any tweaks to increase the max volume output through wired speakers on the Photon? If so, please share!
Oops!
...will change title in a few and move "LTE" post to the proper forum...
I think it's pretty loud and good. I don't even set it at the max volume.

...you mean earpiece volume or headphones volume?
on asa14 is sound much better, but before i have using beats app for increase volume
I meant headphone volume. Tried flashing beats, using the proper procedure and resulted in a black, backlit screen, phone wouldn't boot.

beats works...but only one version and i forgot what ver is it.
Search in photon q forum history - it was my thread.
edit : I have found it
look here:

I use PowerAmp and it let's you mess with the replay gain and has a pre-amp in the equalizer which both increase the headphone volume. Not exactly sure how but I usually tweak both till I find a setting to my liking. On software version 14 and haven't really needed it except to change a particular volume level because the stock ones are in between what I like.
I've been on ASA14 since first time I bought my Photon Q. I think it's so loud and better than my Atrix HD audio output.
Yeah, I use power amp myself...good app, but still looking to increase overall output, the preamp works only to a certain degree. I am searching more for a build.prop edit or app to actually increase output from the system itself, not limited to one particular application. But thanks!

Oh, I was not familiar with that acronym, but I do have the latest update, still would like some extra dB gain when using headphones though...
I use Music Volume EQ by K & K Designs on google play. Free. *I'm stock as hell

Hi,
There is a system to increase the maximum volume level? ....Some videos have the volume low.
I've asus tf with revolver rom RC3.
thanks :cyclops:
with honeycomb we had voodoo sound module at least for headphone output.
Now nothing on hardware/kernel side.
You can try with apps like volume+ but sound may become distorted and in extreme cases you can damage your loudspeakers.
Anyone tried it?
Try volume+ its in the market it boosts volume exponentially

If you really want to and if you have the know how you can do some systemUI.apk mods which can increase volume. In my experience installing Beats Audio also increases volume
+1 to Beats audio, helps alot. Just don't damage the speakers x)
Beats Audio Install = TF101 Bootloop
Any suggestions on how to get out of this? The *only* thing I added was Beats Audio. I was rooted, and the only root-requiring Apps I was running were Adfree and Market Changer...

The only way i found to fix boot loop is reflash an stock ROM using Wheelie or easy flasher
That is pretty much what I did.
Unfortunately, the market changer app is no longer available on Google Play...
Thanks anyway.

Hi when using any AOKP or aosp ROM the sound seems 20% softer then the stock ROM. Does anyone notice this?
Hi all,
Managed to put the AudioX settings into a flashable CWM.zip file.
Attached is the newest version which I have currently installed:
Disable Tru Bass effect.
Limiter set to 0.150 instead of 0.250
SRS3D Set space to 0.5 instead of 0.800
I decided to leave some of the limiter since having an uncompressed signal can harm the physical speaker.
This tweak means louder speaker output and no Trubass effect which is by default boosting the 400Hz area.
WARNING: I do not take any responsibility for broken speakers etc. When I tried the original edits the volume was so loud the speaker made some crackle noises. If you keep that volume level chances are you will destroy the speaker and then it will crackle even at lower volumes. The new version does have a softer limiter and the volume levels are good so I think the speaker is not in danger.
Attached is the AudioX.zip cwm installable and the Default_Audio_Settings.zip installable. If you don't like the result simply flash the second zip.
All the best

The speaker is super loud to me already. How much louder does this make it?

Wow. This is one flash that really works well. Major difference in volume now. thanks,
Does this make only the loudspeaker (the one on the back of the phone) louder or will this increase the in-call volume as well? And what about headphones? Thanks in advance.

This one makes the loudspeaker in the back louder, I don't think it affects headphones since it's a different output.
I am not a pro developer, only played around with values that seem familiar and by guessing which is the speaker output compared to the in-call volume (since they have a different compression ratio).

Hey,
I just reflashed Sky ICS onto my phone, the lastest one, non-dragon and now the in call volume is too low. It is not low to the point where I can't hear, but low enough where I can barely hear in a busy spot. Any fixes for this? Before I was on a older version of Sky ICS and it was fine.
Thanks

Did you flash the audio from one of the threads because the audio mod cause in call volume low. You can look in my SIG and has a link to increase audio thru alsa when I ran sky ICS never had any issue

I followed your link, how do you save the value? I'm not sure if I am saving it or not because the volume isn't increasing.
Just upgraded to rooted stock rom vrbmf1 from stock rooted vrbmb1 and flashed vrbmf1 firmware. The only problem I have now is that none of my sound equalizer programs work. Specifically Speaker Boost the one I use most. The max speaker volume I can acheive now is way too low to hear. With Speaker Boost on vrbmb1 it was pretty loud.
I tried the insanely loud mod, which replaces the default_gain.conf in /system/etc, but it does not work presumably because media volume no longer looks for that file.
So, my question is can anything be done with the stock rom vrbmf1 to increase the speaker volume?

Thanks for the tip. Installed viper4android but it didn't make the volume any louder. But if I disable it the volume goes down so low it's hard to tell if it's on, even at highest system volume. I think maybe I'll just break down and try Scott's Bone Stock Rom. I noticed it has a volume booster built in.

Are you trying to stay with TouchWiz or would you go AOSP? If you'd consider AOSP, I'll recommend LiquidSmooth v2.7. Battery life is outstanding. Volume is actually pretty dang good also.

Doh! I forgot to disable Speaker Boost and it was interfering with V4Android. V4Android works great! Speaker volume is increased just like Speaker boost used to do, and headphone volume is insane. Bluetooth is much clearer with the tweaking to the settings I did.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks for your help.

I thought the audio files could use some volume boost to better show off these sexy speakers
These are the default audio files which have been modded. This is NOT a system wide audio hack. For that check out Viper4Android.
This will overwrite files on /system/media/audio partition and should be flashed in recovery only.

Flashed it with Philz but didn't really notice any noticeable boost in sound after. My music still sounded more or less like it did before the flash with the volume cranked up to the max.
It's not to make your speakers louder but it makes your audio files themselves louder as in stock ringtones, alarms, ui, etc.

I also flashed in TWRP but it didn't do anything for me.
Not sure why some are saying no difference ... revert to stock play any one tone at full volume, then flash the mod and play again ... if you dont feel the difference, then this mod is not necessary for you anyways
Added new edited set ...this one has been bumped to Full Dynamic Range without causing any sound crackling (on some tones with 150%) on the speakers.
Think of it like 120% volume bump but all sounds stay withing a decibel limit to prevent crackling.
I think its better than the 150%

So, just to confirm, this only increases the audio output on UI, system notification and ring tones but will not boost the sound volume when playing music through the speakers, correct?
