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!!

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?

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.

The hardware mod is drilling holes in the speaker, so....

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

Is Sound Effects app properly configured? Have you uninstalled it?
And your G is an original GPE or have you converted it to GPE?
Ive not tested this on GPE firmware but you can give it a go. If there is such a file (mixer_path), and there are the said lines, then try to change it. As usual, perform a nandroid backup in case anything goes wrong. Use this method ONLY if the said files and lines are present okay? I can safely say that it works on CM based roms.

To be honest, Ive tested this on crappy AND good headphones I didnt notice any distortion (i dont have audiomods, i dont increase bass or anything nor have i experienced distrortion on high frequencies) so I'm a bit dumbfounded. Different roms have different ways of managing audio, i guess. I really want people to focus on this issue too. Ive been looking here and there for a solution to be honest. I hope you'll find a solution and share it here

There are kernels for GPE that have fauxsound implemented (supposedly its very good at inxreasing volume) but the problem is you have to pay to be able to use the feature using a paid app. I had problems with it where the volume boost wouldnt stick after a reboot, but im not in anyway from stopping you to try it out. You may get different results. Try looking around our moto g forum (for kernels that have fauxsound)

I downloaded this and did a backup. Then I flashed it. Everything was fine. I downloaded fauxsound app. Everything was working until I did a reboot to delete my backup. Sure enough, the phone was bricked AFTER I deleted my backup. I turn on my phone, in the google logo. Everything becomes purple and the screen goes black. I cleared cache and dalvik to see if that works but it didn't so I had to do a factory reset. Thanks so much!

you wont need it as the audio is killer on the device.
Fair enough, but it still won't be stereo right?
I'll do it as soon as I get my device
Try viper4Android or Dolby digital sound Mod.. Works fine
Sorry, but the sound is not killer ? Try out Huawei Mate 8, then you know killer sound. Huawei P9 Plus with its stereo speaker is not better than OnePlus 3. So we can be happy with the speaker. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ speaker is a bit better. Galaxy S7 Edge speaker is as good as OnePlus 3. HTC 10 disappointed me the most. Worst speaker
Waiting for this mod.

You probably haven't used Lenovo Vibe X3 which has an output of 120 decibels from its stereo speakers with ESS SABRE 9018C2M.
How does the sound compare to the s7 edge and nexus 6p?

OOS is a pain in the ass, moving to a cm base and seeing if I have better luck
In case you still haven't got your device: let me know if you need to test something, more than willing to help
Tinkering with the mixer paths right now. Headphones are fine but speaker volume is horrible. Vibration is horrible on this phone too.
Yeah, I'm willing to help in any way possible if it means dual speaker output!
For some reason both CM and OOS us mixer_paths_tasha.XML instead of mixer_paths.xml.
This means two things
1. It's definitely going to harder to identify which value corresponds to what peice of hardware
2. Theoretically we would only need one mod for cm and OOS
If anyone figures out the values for the speaker, let me know because so far I'm not having any luck
is this just a matter of try and error until the values are found or is there a chance at "no stereo at all"?

Hi.
So it seems that for some odd reason, SULTAN (dev) decided to lower the speaker volume in his ROM.
I found THIS LINK which should help:
But - and pardon my noobishness here - I don't seem to find directory.
1. Do I need a special file explorer to reach this directory?
2. Do I need to be rooted (i am not)?
Thanks!

I guess a different rom then.
It confuses me why would a developer REDUCE the earpiece volume.
Any outside noise during a call, and I can't hear a word being said to me by the other side. This is major deal-breaker. Weird. Perhaps I am missing something as to why was this done by the dev.

About
This Module uses the Mixer file from this thread: [Mod] SURROUND SOUND
I just created a systemless module for Magisk
Code:
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included.
Nexus 5X has 2 speakers but one is limited for calls only...
So this module enables the earpiece for media and your call speaker will work as secondary speaker
Perfomance
I've tested it on latest stock 8.1.0 (OPM7.181005.003, Oct 2018) & working without any problem or distortion in sound :laugh:
Call sound is not affected by this mod as it only enables the earpiece while playing media ( video, audio, ringtone, etc )
Download
Google Drive
Installation
* Magisk Version required: 17.0 above
1. Download the Dual Speaker Mode for N5X zip from GDrive or from attached file here
2. Flash through the Magisk Manager App or through latest TWRP
Uninstallation
Just flash the module zip again from either Magisk Manager app or TWRP...

Hello again.
I'm having troubles. I'm a rock and metal guy mostly so when I listen to some songs the principal guitar, specially in solos, sounds so quiet and the second guitar sounds louder.
I know this isn't from the song because i tested in other device and my PC too.
Do you anything about this? Any settings or something?
I put the gain in 0 again to test.

Basically the ear piece speaker is small, has lower sound than primary media speaker and is only for calls. We enabled it for media also but the sound can never be equal to the primary speaker
Unfortunately it's not a pure stereo experience like Nexus 6P
