Hi all. Excuse me if anyone asked this question already. I did search and didn't find a thread on it, but is there a hack to increase volume a tad for a rooted gs4g? TIA!

To make voice calls louder you can go to- Menu>settings>call settings>HAC mode>on

Call volume is fine. Id just like best vol for music & movies. Krylon is this a separate mod or included in ur new development for frost?

if ya wanna go the safe route without having to flash anything new, you can just DL "galaxy tuner" from the market, my ISH is cranked!! its got other uses too but i use it for audio in order to make sure i hear the Ph going off. its got 5 bars of EQ you can mess with in order to get a nice crisp sound thats LOUD as HE||

Noe that's news we're all waiting for

Voodoo control plus from the app market, only 2$ and worth every penny,makes a world of difference. Best sound quality I've heard out of a phone.

download "galaxy tuner" from the market, you can amp your lil SGS4g speaker pretty high

i actually bought the voodoo control sound last week.

I bought the voodoo control app for $2 in the market. I rooted for this app. YOU DON'T NEED A CUSTOM KERNEL! The sound is GREAT on my Bose Mobile headphones

best audio enhancer? [beats/dsp]

which one do you have a better experience with?
i'm currently running aokp's jb build4... any help would be appreciated.
also, links to working versions? i found the beats xda thread, but i cant find anything substantial on a jellybean version of dsp.
i've also heard that beats only works w/ certain apps while dsp is across the board?
thanks

DSP. Beats is quick an easy, but you can't fine tune like you can with DSPManager.
Just download any CM rom and extract DSPManager.

I'll skip the Beats gimmick and stick with direct audio output from VooDoo Sound thank you very much.

DSPManager is good to compensate for somewhat subpar speakers/headphones though. You know, like most portable headphones that people buy. =)

I think voodoo does the trick, that and I use the awesome equalizer in poweramp

DSP seems to be the standard in most custom ROMS. Voodoo gives color control but is for more advanced users. I find Beats to be more for the person who uses there phone as their iPod with fancy high dollar headphones.

does poweramp (or any 3rd party app for that matter) let you play your clouded Googlemusic?

Fortunately, if you use euroskank roms or slim roms they will have voodoo settings integrated into the DSPManager, as long as the kernel supported it as well.

Unfortunately, poweramp doesn't, and I assume other 3rd party players don't either. But that's not a big problem here in Canada, where Google music isn't really supported

[Q] Does anyone know of a Rom that is best for bluetooth headphones?

so i just bought the Jaybird Bluebud x bluetooth headphones, and they have amazing sound quality on my iPhone but when i switched them over to my galaxy s3, the sound quality wasn't as good, it was all grainy and stuff, i am currently using ParanoidAndroid 3+ as my daily driver i tried all different equalizers on the play store and it helped a little but it still wasnt that good, so my question is does anyone know of a good EQ or ROM that works good with bluetooth headphones? wired headphones sound great its just the bluetooth.

what would be the best touchwiz rom in your opinion? ive had bad luck with the Synergy Rom, the one where they changed the lockscreen to all blue for better unlock, it always slowed down for me after 15 days or so were it would take forever to unlock and open apps, and could name the top 3 that you like,

Cleanrom is the only one I stick with really.

You can always change lockscreens. I can't help in the Bluetooth though.

sound quality?

I'm looking at buying a nexus 5,what is the sound quality like through some decent quality headphones?
thanks

The sound quality is very good, but the headphone amplifier is pretty weak. It can barely drive my Koss PortaPros, which are pretty efficient. I also have to turn the volume up much louder in my car, compared to my Galaxy Nexus or iPod.

Speaker is poor

This is the exact truth. Why the headphone amp is so weak in 2013 is a question I'd like answered since I usually get rid of a phone with weak output. Fortunately I still have my iPhone

he's a short sample I made with the Nexus 5, boosted +5 with faux kernel and comparing to the Nexus 7 2013. Sure it's always a bit hard to compare the sound over a video but still, maybe it help you

Does this work for earphones as well

I tried this mod on my Nexus 5 and it works AMAZING to boost the headphone volume. It is finally usable!
[MOD] Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost for the Nexus 5
I only did the mod for headphones as the mod that also boosted the speaker seemed to degrade the quality a bit, and I thought it sounded good enough as it was.

you have to flash a custom kernel that supports the boost which you can than adjust with apps like trickster mod.
2 kernel are capable so far, faux and elementalx. I would recommend elementalx because it has some extra options like sweep2wake and doubletap2wake and color calibration

Specific sound effect pack

In the prior hyperdrive s4 editions there was a notification sound effect that sounded like a shotgun being racked. For the life of me I can't find it with the new hd edition. Anyone know what phone this was from or where to get it? Thanks

What you could do is download one of the older editions then open the .zip file and look for the sound which should be under system/media then search through the UI sounds.
