[Request] Volume Hack - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure how hard this is but I've noticed that the speaker volume isn't very loud. If anybody knows how to get a volume hack or needs some help, I'd be willing to offer my time. Thanks in advance for your response.

Same here. I would be very happy if some kernel will resolve this problem. Otherwise, phone is super. Just speaker when talking ... and maybe not so good buttons. :good:

Definetly a NO to this on.
Using a active speaker at work which resets its volume to a base volume everytime you enable it.
The speaker is on par with a Galaxy Note 1 which I have just retired.
I´d even say its louder....but possibly that is because of faux kernel....try this...

You can install this kernel...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=250965
Then install FauxSound from the PlayStore, you can up the speaker gain a decent amount. It's nothing drastic, but I've got it loud enough for me now.

+1. Came here to say this. FauxSound works excellent. If you don't want to / can't afford to pay for the app, trickster mod works fine.
But if you can, support your local dev!

So you're saying using the stable faux kernel and the latest version of Fauxsound, sound modifications are working for you on the nexus 5?

yes
edit: can't speak for stable kernel, but their is nothing in the changelog for the beta about fauxsound, so I can only assume the stable includes it.

Fauxsound needs an update. Faux123 should have it out shortly. It works fine except for the fact that settings are reverted to stock upon reboot. Little annoying but faux is great at keeping his kernels and a ops up to date and fully functional.

Make your Phone volume Louder

this is for the people who want to fix volume level. this work with any gingerbread base rom. its working good for me.

You shouldn't need this. If your sig is correct and you still have CM7 use the DSPManager app. It can boost volume for speaker and through headset. I set all my eq. settings to 6.1 and it is loud and not distorted at all.

I'm on CM7 and this works beautifully (I've only tried it for external speaker) on setting 6+. Loud as hell with no distortion!
Volume+ is definitely a trusted app from an awesome developer "Meltus". He's the same one that released the app "Louder volume hack" ages ago. I've used his volume apps since back on my MT3G .
His free app is here if you guys want to read up on it first.
Thank you. Works great on RCMix HD v5.9.7.

What kernel are you using? I'm using this app with Lordmod 4.2 CFS -25mv undervolt, no problems reported here.
I personally notice distortion once I get to about +3 or +4 on my device. I keep it set to +2 and everything sounds great. It even seems to save the settings and re-apply on boot, great stuff!

[Sound MOD] [MF9/MDL] BMSound_Full the deep bass works on Sprint SPH-L720

Even though I flashed this with NO ISSUES whatsoever, please, for the love of God and all that is holy in the Android universe: Make a backup before flashing this! I am not responsible for what you do to your phone.
That being said: Guys...I have found what could quite possibly be the best sound mod for our phones ever. :victory:
1) first go to noskojv's thread and thank HIM NOT ME! I didn't write this mod but when I find something awesome I feel the need to share.
2) next if you have CWM go here to flash it.
3) if you're like me and you have TWRP go here to flash it.
Basically fauxsound will increase your gain (loudness) and Beats EQ will "clean up" any distortion. Beats EQ alone will not make your speaker louder.
To access the screens you see attached:
For the Beats EQ/ Music FX menu from the home screen select menu >> settings >> my device >> sound >> music effects
For the Beats EQ preset menu simply open your app drawer and find the app called BeatsEQ
Enjoy my Sprint brothers! :victory:
I also included a screenshot of my fauxsound settings.
Note: faux123's kernel OR ktoosez's kernel (which I use) found here and fauxsound are REQUIRED for fauxsound to work. You may use Beats EQ without fauxsound but if your intent on using this mod is for a volume increase Beats EQ alone will not accomplish this.
****Fauxsound will not work with any other kernel.****
***Note: I'm pretty sure Beats EQ is for Touchwiz ROMs only!
Nice! Thanks for forwarding along. I'll try it later.

You're welcome buddy. Those screenshots are from my phone. I had no issues flashing this with TWRP whatsoever. It should install with ease.
I downloaded and installed the twrp version everything went smooth but when I select an option and apply it I have to wait for it to force close before I can do the next step and it didn't sound any better than using the Volume + I downloaded from the play store but thanks for sharing I want flaming just giving my experience with it every device handles things differently

what kernel are you using? and did you clear cache and dalvik when you installed? I get no force closes at all. What ROM are you running? Try and reboot and see if it clears up your issue. I've used volume+ and I can tell you this is definitely better. My ROM/Kernel setup is in my signature.

I do notice the difference more on my jbl bluetooth external speakers. there's more options like the strength of the eq setting and bass strength under the headphones and bluetooth tabs.
I think for Michael Bolton you'd love the 'R&B' setting the best. I listen to a lot of trip-hop and trance and it sounds great.
I wish I could demo my sound but unfortunately that would require me to be there in person but its pretty good!

Ahh KT uses fauxsound. The link to download it from the market is in my OP.
I use fauxsound to increase my GAIN (make it louder) and essentially use this mod to reduce the distortion and the result is great sound. Even on the crappy speaker in the back of the phone.
Just embarrassed my friend with the HTC One. My speaker got WAY louder than his. And this makes my Beats headphones sound incredible
Ps. Used Fauxsound and Ktoonz kernel to increase speaker gain

[MOD]Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost for the LG G2

[MOD]Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost for the LG G2
Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost mod for the LG G2​​
Hi Guys, with the help of audio god @ZeroInfinity I have created a mod that boosts the headphone and speaker volume on the LG G2
This mod should work with all LG G2 variants and ROMS inc. AOSP. It was tested and works on D802 on 4.2.2 .10C update correctly.
Enjoy
Benefits:
- Moves volume sweet spot to 50% vs. stock 80-90%
- Removes need for volume boosting apps that usually distort the audio
- Improved low end at optimal listening levels
Installation:
Simply download the desired file below and flash it in recovery.
Downloads:
Audio-Booster-Wooster.zip
Credits:
Many thanks to @ZeroInfinity and @Drummerjed.
Huge thanks to @Rory Pettitt for no reason whatsoever
Disclaimer:
DO NOT USE additional volume boosting tweaks/applications with this mod.
Always check the volume level before playing music, I will not be held responsible for damaged speakers or hearing impairment!

Nice one bro
You rock brother! Look forward to trying this
WOW!! That is awesome!!
Flashing now!!
Thanks Bro!!!
Just flashed this mod.
AMAZING! I love you man, seriously.
I can't believe a software mod can release the beast in this phone's speaker, it sounds so loud and good without any distortion. How is this possible? Usually whenever I do a software mod to boost volume it distorts the speaker at higher volume, NONE with this. Absolutely incredible work.
I thought this was already available in the other thread :S? or is there an even higher gain compared to the ratio's the other mod used?

All beats mods implement "beats" which is marketing hype and not much else of substance other than some eq changes so why you'd want a beats mod is beyond me.
There are about 5 threads about this in various forums, use the search function. Beats is just an equalizer same with their headphones, it is nothing special, rootsu got the post before I did =D

It can. There is an extra loudness option for the speaker. For headphones and bluetooth you can play around with adjusting the gain and master limiter.
I've been playing with viper for a little bit. It's definitely more comprehensive than the stock equalizer, and it takes care of the (imo)low volume, but it's a little overwhelming. I have no idea what half of the settings are for. It works well, though.
Also, I had to download an older version for the drivers to work.
Thanks for the input!

I agree with the others - Viper4Andorid is a really advanced audio mod with lots of configurable settings.

Good equalizer

Hey I'm wondering if anyone has a really good equalizer.. I've been using noozoxide for some time I love it but it screws up too much, I started with the flash able version now I'm on the free version from store and I can't stand it, anyone have a good one that better then stock musicFX?

No, it can be provided as a tunable kernelfeature or using some app. I'm not informed about how setting parameters manually by editing files. Whats wrong with using a EQ-app??

Application will be made more narrow ram, I do not like it .. but I always take lib files in EQ-app, consequently increasing the quality of audio output .. because lib it will be driven by kernel
