(Mod)(audio)Acdb from lg v20 for better audio on headphones and earphones

Hey guys,
I`ve been testing different acdb(Audio calibration database) for this phone, In order to make audio output greater on headphones without loss of quality.
So in my test, i found out that the acdb from LG V20 is the best for audio output.
In order to use this mod, simply download the file provided below and follow the instructions.
Instructions:-
1)Download the attachment(MTP_Headset_cal.zip) and extract it to get MTP_Headset_cal.acdb
2)use a root browser to navigate to /system/etc/acdb/
3)Backup the original MTP_Headset_cal.acdb to a safe location.
4)Replace the file with the file i provided MTP_Headset_cal.acdb.
5)Change the permissions of the file to Rw-r-r(0644).
6)Reboot the phone to enjoy the music.
Result:-
Audio sounds much clearer than before.
Bass throughput on the earphones is very great in comparison to the previous implementation.
Sound is much louder in comparison to the previous implementation by Cyanogen.
#edit
Now it gives my Ipod touch a run for its money.. ?

If anyone wants to know what an acdb is, It is a file which stores all the calibration for the hardware for audio card on the phone.

I have`nt tested it on bluetooth headsets yet, However acording to my guess it wont work on bluetooth as there are seperate files for bluetooth which configure the audio output there.

That zip just contains one file just for headset but not for speaker from where we hear songs etc but phone's speaker contains files for everything.. why don't you paste all those files from lg?

Upload all its files if u can..

When you replace all the files, the audio output becomes horrible. And the phone crashes most of the time then.

I have changed the default .acdb file with this and the sound quality has become superb but can't use headset durning calls as no sound is heard. All other applications work fine except the default phone app...
What to do?
Currently running on LOS 15.1

Dual Speaker Sound Mod for G95xU/U1/W/0/08
Snapdragon S8/S8+ Pie, Oreo and Nougat​

You and only you are responsible for the decisions you make when modifying your phone
* Dual Speaker Sound Mod install instructions and download link for Pie and Oreo (TWRP,Safestrap)
Pie/Oreo Dual Speaker Mod
To install just simply flash the zip in Safestrap (TWRP)
Alternatively you can download (I attached the file) flash into Safestrap (TWRP) mount system then use file manager to back up your original found in /system/vendor/etc by copying it to sdcard or renaming it to mixer_paths_tavil.bak (i already have mine saved so i just deleted it). Select the modded file you downloaded and copy it to /system/vendor/etc then select it again to change permissions (chmod) to 0644 and voila'
Pie_Oreo_Dual_Speaker_Mod_G95xU.zip
Pie/Oreo mixer_paths_tavil.xml
*Dual Speaker Sound Mod Install instructions and download link for Nougat (Root)
Flash Dual_Speaker_Mod_Nougat_G95XU.zip using TWRP, Safestrap or just use your favorite root file explorer to replace /system/etc/mixer_paths_tavil.xml with this modded one ***Important make sure permissions on the file are set 0644

Enjoy the mod :victory:​
The mod works best and is compatible with a lot of apps/mods especially stereo enabling apps as this mod only makes the phone dual speaker so it will will be mono dual speaker unless you have something installed that makes it surround sound stereo. JamesDSP, Dolby Atmos,
V4A ect.
*note to devs, you may include this mod in your ROM's without asking me first just make sure to give credits :angel:

Thank you... it works for me..

Are you on nougat or oreo?
I should have noted that those mods only work with root and therefore only on Nougat (besides the two different versions of Dolby)
V4A only supports stereo with bluetooth, aux or usb audio output and not from phone speakers idk why
Dolby Atmos was adapted to be used on Nougat that is separate version from the s9 version that was ported for Oreo s8 (safestrap) but they both make stereo
If you are on oreo I'd suggest using Dolby port for stereo... it's basically the only option.
I'm on Oreo and have Dolby the only playstore app I use is Precise Volume but if you're on rooted nougat I'd explore root options

Thanks for the info. Im on Nougat. But its no big deal to me about not having stereo. Mono is better than nothing.

Yes just search for "earpiece" on the file.
I set it to a so-called highest "safe value" of 95 (stock is 84) but I've known someone that set it to 145 haha it's all up to you how loud you want to set it for just remember that the top speaker isn't the same as the bottom one but both have ghe same stock values and it isn't built to be super loud. With that being said, this is only my opinion, phones are meant to be used and replaced so why not use my phone and enjoy it. Adjust at your own risk. This mod won't make up for the S9/S9+/N9 speaker system but it is something at least and it does work in calls on "speaker" phone as well
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="95"/>

Thanks man! Great mod.

What ROM are you using? Maybe the main mixer paths files have another name and you only need to rename it.
This is only for Stock Android ROMS (AOSP)
Please take a screenshot on your ETC folder in the mixer_paths part and upload it so i can see it.

The answer is "i dont know". I did not test, but i think it will not work because the file is from 9.0 system and 10.0 is quite different, you can test it but im sure you will get bugs in some other functions (if it works). Or maybe not. Please test and report if you can.

The mod is nice, but when you plug in the headset, there is a sound from the handset.

Not working for me on latest build of pixel experience plus rom tried to flash it 2 times but not happening for me and even after flashing this it's not showing in magisk

Both methods did not work for me. The mixer_paths_idp.xml file was indeed replaced by this one, but no difference. On Derpfest 0602 build.

already put 90 for earpiece volume, max is 95. i dont want to take risk. u can try change the value to 95 if u want.
instruction
1. open the mixer file with code editor/text editor
2. use 'Find..' and type in 'earpiece'
3. change the value from 90 to 95
4. save it, reboot.
