[MOD] CM9 Increased System Volumes

I just flashed CM9 Alpha 11 by dhiru1602 and noticed that the Touch Sound, Lock Sound and Unlock Sound was too quiet and not noticeable. So I have increased their volume and is available for anyone to try!
Downloads :
Effect_Tick.ogg
Lock.ogg
Unlock.ogg
If you want to flash this MOD from CWM, download this zip file:
Increase Volume (Credits: frapeti)
NOTE:
Take a backup of the files you are going to replace before continuing. If you don't like the new modded audio files, you can always revert back to the original one's!
Instructions
Manually Replacing:
1. Using Root Explorer, go into System/Media/Audio/UI and take a backup of the original audio files you want to replace.
2. Replace the original file with the downloaded one.
3. Change the permission to "RW-R--R--".
Flashing Through CWM:
1. Go into recovery mode.
2. Select "Install zip from sdcard"
3. Navigate to the folder where you saved the flashable .zip file and select it.
4. Flash it!
Reboot your phone and the volume will be increased!

Cool. Would be easier for noobs if it was a flashable zip.

All credits go to Blindshooter and Kurotsugi!
Bravia Engine
Blindshooter's files, incomplete, therefore, use Kuro's.

Screen Patch
Note, this is only for when your touch screen isn't function correctly. (Sort of lagging touch screen, that's usually the issue).
Screen patch also confirmed to work with Xperia J

here is the solution for the trouble on the touch screen :
http://www.4shared.com/rar/3p6YulVl/ST21i_calibrate.html

Man.. Ive been looking the permissions required to use this calibrator tool and it needs everything!! Why a calibrator App need it all? I used it before i wipe my phone but ill not use again
Enviado de meu ST21i2 usando o Tapatalk 2

Bravia Engine is a little mod that will improve your graphic's and video's qualities.
More info here
The screen patch is a fix for people who have issues with the Tipo (Dual) touch screen.
Some people have the issue that their touch-screen is not functioning correctly, usually they describe their problems as: "My touchscreen is laggy/lagging". This screen patch will re-calibrate your touchscreen and fix the issues.

Some tests around with and without bravia engine? I tested it on a GT540 some time ago, there was no difference between images.

Bravia engine only work in sony's device since it need support from the rom made by sony. That's why it doesn't work on another device. I never got any report that it work on another rom like cm neither. Even if it cm in sony. Anyway, this bravia engine port in this thread is incomplete. You'll need a framework file, a xml file, and a lib file for complete working bravia engine. The two lines in build.prop is needed to show bravia option in setting. However,the bravia engine won't work until you have all the rquirement. This is the reason why most people can't spot the differences after using this bravia mod

Where do we find this lib and xml file?
I suspected that soemthing was missing
Enviado de meu MZ616 usando o Tapatalk 2

I have it...but I can't upload it due to my slow internet connection at this moment. Ill tell you later when I managed upload it

Here is the complete file as I promised. The movie effect only work if you use movie player in my thread about clearbass mod. The photo's differences isn't as clear as you can see in another device with lcd screen but the if you compare the filesize, you'll know that the mod is working

Slight difference noticed in tipo ..thanx
Sent from my ST21i using xda premium

should i install bravia on tipo? and if yes , why? it is worth though?
also can u add some pictures , so we can notice the difference if any?

I will try to make some screenshots of that soon.
Now, Bravia Engine doesn't make a REAL big difference on Tipo, but you will see a bit improvement.
As far as I know it isn't really hard, and neither really risky, so I guess you could just install.
EDIT: updated the steps with Kuro's files.

Should i have to install both blindshooter's and kuro's file?
What instruction to follow to install kuro's files?

One more question pls
After modifying build.prop will i have to clean dalvik cache before reboot?

nope, no need to

i want to instal bravia engine on Tipo(Single). I made a back-up using TB. I download BE.rar folder from the mentioned link. But i dont know where is /system. Is it the one in internal memory? And also i couldn't fint build.prop file!. Please tell me how to proceed.

Have you got a file-manager that supports root?
Practically it's like this:
./ folder = the main folder,
in this main folder there is folders like "system", which is the system partition, "data" which is your phone data partition, "sdcard" which is internal memory/the 2GB space think where u usually put ur files and sometimes apps, "ext_card" which is the external sdcard you inserted. And many more folders. But you need a root File-Manager to see those folders usually.
The build.prop file is also in the system folder...
I'll add a screenshot of my Root Explorer being in the main folder.

[MOD] increase headphone volume (only) to max !!!

-Tried in N900 only (stock 4.3 rooted) (update:works also in stock 4.4.2 rooted), but may work in other versions (backup first)
-Please take care of your HEARING when lisening in high volumes, i'm not responsible for what happen to it, you have been warned !!!
-Increases headphone (only) max volume from 85 to 127 !!!
-Needs a rooted device
-Based on work from this forum and my personal experimentation with Alsamixer app and Es File Explorer
-Steps:
1-enable root access by Es File Explorer app
2-mount system as read write by Es File Explorer App
3-go to path system/etc and backup file ysound.xml (copy to other location) or rename it
4-past the included file in the same previous path after unzipping it, it should contain xml extension not rar extension
5-long press on the file then properties and change permissions to rw-r-r root root
6-restart phone
7-done !!!
-In case of any problems or if you want to return to previous setting simply restore your backup file and restore permissions as rw-r-r root root and restart
-you could notice the increase in volume by Alsamixer app (headphone volume) before 85 after 127, not only by hearing
-included file in attachments
-Or if you have a custom recovery, you could try flashing the zip file in post 16 of this thread (easier), thanks for Dr.Ketan for making the file flashable

Thanks.

It only increase headphone volume not any other kind of volume, i have changed other values not the same in the previous thread using alsamixer app experiementation and my hearing as i opened alsa mixer app and found that headphone volume max stock is 85 so i extracted the file and searched all values of 85 and changed them to 127 the maximum as reported by Alsamixer app and tried it and the sound of headphones was extremely Loud, so i thought about sharing file here for general benefit and for easier sound maximizing for headphones only, wish someone could make a small script for flashing it via recovery to be applied easier instead of our manual method, but the good is that it could be applied in rooted phones without custom recoveries
It is not a slight increase in headphone volume, it is the maximum allowed by device hardware !!!!

1-Have you tried changing permissions of the file to root root rw-r-r and restarting phone
2-remove write permission from es file explorer after applying the patch and restart and see
3-their is no relation between two files phone.apk and ysound.xml
4-have you tried extracting file correctly
5-try restoring original file with permissions as root root rw-r-r and restart and see if the problem is solved
6-work only in stock or near stock roms not aosp or aokp types
7-I think the problem is in the file permissions not set correctly

I have just now replaced the file & not getting any fc thanks for the help....But I could not find any difference in volume of the music player...poss to help me on this pls?
SM900 /VN ROM V9/ KITKAT 4.4.2

1-restart phone once after replacing file
2-check only when headphones plugged
3-try increasing volume to max
4-check file permissions again
5-download alsamixer app from google play and see headphone volume is it 127 (try it after restarting phone and plugging headphones and playing some music)

I'll give a try

I do not think so if the processor is Qualcom based not Exynos based as i heard that Qualcom based models use a different sound chip, you could however try to go to the path system/etc and see if the file ysound.xml (Yamaha sound chip) is found or not ?? if found so backup and try mod and follow instructions closely , if not found try another mod not Exynos based, you may find one in other sections of this forum
