[Q] CALL QUALITY (call eq?)

I have always had a lot of low end sound when in a call on my skyrocket (always as in before root) making it hard to hear someone who mumbles or has a lower voice.
w or w/o headphones still have problem. *moreso referring to speaker on phone though
I have tried a plethora of eq's but none seem to affect incoming call sound.
flashed beats audio (by fuss132) problem got worse.
is there any root level eq's or any way i can boost my mids and decrease lows on calls?

I would like to know too. My new A9220 is too trebly but an EQ might help.

Have you tried finding volume+ on google there's a forum that has a free app in it
CM9 Skyrocket

Thanks I have downloaded volume+, the paid version but I need root access and I've been unsuccessful in rooting so far. Any other product suggestions welcome. Volume+ say their speaker quality function is experimental and it doesn't seem like it gives the ability to EQ the incoming call but lets hope it helps or this phone is going back....

well, I've tried superoneclick, unlock root, gingerbreak and loading from SD, none of them get through the process. I have USB debugging on etc...I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I wondered if I don't have the right file for the SD method. This is my first Android phone.

Use Odin

Just read the stickies man, it's all explained in easy steps. Learning Odin is essential for sammy anyways, you should get comfortable with it.

yeah seems I should do that. I just downloaded Odin pro but it straight away tells me I'm not rooted... which I know of course.

I don't mean an app. Do it from Odin on your pc.

Ok, got it rooted. Now I need to make the speaker usable for calls. Volume+ doesn't seemt o EQ the speaker, just allow me to increase the volume. Any other suggested apps or tweaks?

Did you get volume + from the market or the one from the forum i.was talking about
CM9 Skyrocket

Oh, I got the paid version from play store. Same?

Is this the one you mean then? http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=16 should I sign up to the forum and get this one instead?

I believe its the same just free instead
CM9 Skyrocket

found engineers menu (via dialpad) with audio adjustment so that might help. Will run through the options provided.

N5 Questions

Hello all,
So I am trying to get used to my new N5. I do like the device but have a few questions that I am hoping this forum can help answer.
1) Sound on N5: this seems low, When I apply an EQ app it gets a bit lower. Is there anything to fix this? Have ppl seen the same result?
2) Remove Apps on N5: I have a rooted/unlocked bootloader N5. There are some apps that I don't use and want to remove. How do I do this properly?
3) Dialer Apps: are there dialer apps out there that completely replace the stock dialer but with better feature/functionality?
I think that is it for now. I am coming from a LG Optimus G Pro, so its taking some time to get used to the screen size difference. I didnt think this would be a big deal but its a bigger deal than I gave it credit for.
Thanks,
Steve

Use Rom Toolbox or Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted apps. Better than uninstalling because it helps to have all of the original apps present for updates and flashing.

1.) There is a zip that can slightly raise the volume of your nexus 5. And you can do a hardware mod to make it louder.
2.) Get titanium backup and just uninstall them.
3.) Yeah you can use any dialer just like as if you can use any SMS app. There is no "better" dialer. Just Google it and watch reviews and decide from there, that's for you to decide.

Does the hardware mod only change the loudness of the speaker or does it also apply when using a headset with the device?

The hardware mod is drilling holes in the speaker, so....
Try viper4android. I've seen people say that works

Hardware mods are mods you do with your bare hands and not zips and stuff. So no it will not increase Volume with headphones. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, there's a zip that will also increase the speaker loudness too. And you can do the suggestion above me ↑.
But kernels can raise the volume for headphones. I know that existed for the Galaxy Nexus

Anyone have experience with the Faux kernel, which is supposed to be targeted at increasing the loudness?

No I'm stock everything. Just rooted using gravity box

[Q] Microphone Issue

I also have the popular microphone issue in my Nexus 5, the person i am calling complains of low or distant voice.
I have looked over for solutions but haven't found any that are a definite fix.
I'v tried covering the secondary mic, using apps to enhance mic volume, use safe mode to determine any app interference but nothing so far has helped. Using a headset or using speakerphone to call everytime is not a sufficient solution.
Finally i am asking here if there is any other fix available that i have missed in my search?
Can flashing a custom rom solve this problem? or is there a patch or mod available that can help?
P.S. I am running the latest android version so please don't suggest me to update.

I will look into this but i am not sure its a very good fix, its kind of a trade off though.
The first procedure sounds easy enough to do however the second one is kinda impossible, cos you need to understand qualcomm's internal coding to make any changes to help solve the problem.
Lets see if someone else can suggest any other fix.
I am hoping someone would say that he flashed a particular custom rom and the thing works fine with it.

Any other suggestions?

[Q] CM12 is so quiet...

Forgive me if this has been asked already (I did spend 5 minutes searching here to no avail...)
Obviously since official CM 12 came out the glitchy audio problems have been sorted out on all the ROMs, though no matter what lollipop ROM I install it's just too damn quiet. Feels like it maxes out at about 70% the volume of CM11S and as I listen to spoken word not music it's become unusable.
Is this some weird confluence of events that only affects me? (I can't find any other complaints) Anyone know any workarounds? I installed Viper4Android and it worked but there was no way of getting it any louder (if anything it was a bit quieter no matter what I tried)
The buggy Beta CM12s were fantastically loud, but alas the Max Headroom style digital glitches made them unusable.
I would love to be able to hear my audiobooks and podcasts again. Can anyone please advise?

Thanks but doing that killed my OPO. I now get "couldn't play back the track you required" on Play Music and "episode appears to be in a format we can't play" with Pocket Casts.
I should also have pointed out that speaker volume is of no interest to me, just bluetooth and headset. Thanks for taking the time to answer me though.

[Mod] Moto G4 Native volume boost - mixer_paths.xml ~ 10-18-2018 ~ lineage 16

I made this mod over a year ago for Moto G3 and it has been very popular, so I decided to bring it over to G4 now that I have this device myself. If anyone would like any additional settings, please ask. Enjoy!!
This mod should be compatible with the entire 2016 Moto family (all devices bearing a G4 moniker)
Use at your own risk!
Drop the file in /etc (/vendor/etc for android 8.0/+) rename to mixer_paths.xml, and change permissions to rw-r--r--
To revert, use the 84mixer_paths.xml file provided, rename to mixer_paths.xml and set permissions rw-r--r--
You must reboot for changes to apply. This is a TOTAL volume mod!! it will boost every volume on the device.
Default value is 84, I set it at 89. I like my music extremely loud, and this was slightly lower than I would choose, so it should be good for most people. If anyone wants more or less, I can take requests.
Stock OEM ROM

Looks amazing, am about to try it out on LOS 14.
--
Did you test this on a Moto G4 Play?
--
Confirmed NOT WORKING on Moto G4 2016 Standard running LOS 14.1. No sound at all. However, pull the XML from here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/L...motorola_athene/cm-14.1/audio/mixer_paths.xml
and, using a text editor, edit any 84's to a higher number, say, 92. Save, set permissions properly, and push to /etc. Can confirm that this works.
--
Edit, pulling the LOS XML may or may not work depending on your ROM (although, the majority of ROMs are LOS based). Just install a root browser or use adb with a text editor and manually edit the /etc/mixer_paths.xml, and reboot.

Thanks

Yeeaaah, this doesn't work on the Moto G4 Standard XT1625 running LineageOS 14.1. Set permissions properly, etc.
However, I pulled the LineageOS XML from GitHub, replaced the mixer_paths92.xml and manually edited the default LOS XML with Root Explorer and set all values there from 84 to 92, and the volume was boosted significantly.
Also, I didn't realize that my kernel also supports speaker gain so I increased it even higher
Super loud speakers and they only crackle a little bit!

That's not a big surprise, since lineage isn't really stock aosp. Glad it worked editing yourself, though!!

Working fine, using '92' in my Moto G4 Play. Thank you so much .

For sure, it is. It isn't really hard to read this:

You are responsible for being careful with your smartphone's speaker. Also, I'll suggest you to take care while using headphones, you might experience several problems with your eardrum if you keep using your headphones with so much volume.

Updated for lineage 14.1 support

So the only difference between the stock and lineage varieties is stock uses Windows style (CR+LF) EOL and lineage uses Unix style (LF) EOL?
Is that common among xml files on harpia stock roms? Not really on topic I know, but just was curious. I suppose I could always decompress a stock system.img and have a look/see for myself.

Does it work with the external speaker?
