Speaker Boost boosts speaker volume on Android 2.3-4.1 and 4.4+. (It doesn't work on 4.2 and 4.3.)
There are other apps that do this, and do more (equalizer support, virtualizer, etc.), but this is meant to be a very light-weight free app (~43K as of 1.01) just to boost the volume and nothing more.
You can pop it up at any time you like just by holding down the search key, which may be handy, or by using the notification bar.
By default it puts up both a volume slider and a boost slider, which is handy for devices without volume buttons, but you can remove the volume slider (menu | settings).
Free version: Google Play (no ads)
Donation version: Google Play (identical to free version, but supports developer)

I completely removed the ad in 1.03. You can get it in the Market or at code.google.com/p/speakerboost
I'll give it a shot today.
Thanks
I posted a new version in the Market. In the Settings, you can now set a limit to how high you want to allow the boost to go.
By the way, this really is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK software. Based on reviews, one user blew out earphones and two damaged their phones: this can make the sound really loud, and you need to use it responsibly. My rule of thumb--and I don't know how reliable it is--is that if you hear audio distortion, you should immediately crank it down.
After using Speaker Boost, the app displays in the task switcher in Android. Is it possible to disable displaying the app in the task switcher?

Used it on your own risk
I test it on my Samsung Note Build ..very useful thanks for sharing this app . The best booting volume app ever..keep up the good work bro .
It's looking like this doesn't work with the stock music player on Samsung devices (that music player has its own equalizer settings that can be used to boost audio, and I can't override them--the API says that I've got control over the equalizer, but the volume doesn't change up or down). Does it work with the stock music player on non-Samsung devices? (The music player on Samsung Android 2.3 devices is different from the music player in the Android 2.3 sources.)
I have some users writing reviews that say that the current version doesn't work on devices the previous version worked on. Anybody here see this?
SpeakerBoost is back! While Google eviscerated the API that I was previously using for boosting, in 4.4 they introduced the LoudnessEnhancer effect, and so SpeakerBoost should once again work.
There is now a $0.99 Donate version if you want to support the developer.
I just uploaded new versions with nicer notification icons.
Does this work on lollipop and can this increase the phonecall volume?
By the way, i an using Asus zenfone5 with resurrection remix rom.
Just a quick note that I've just sold the app to Prometheus Interactive. I have good reason to hope they will develop the app in good ways, but I won't be developing it further myself.
Does it have support for Nougat?
EXCELLENT! Still works on my Note 8 and 9!
Hello,
I've uploaded a new application called Volume Saver. What it does is save media volume for each application on the phone. For example, while playing a movie on YouTube you set the volume to be low, then when switching to Play Music, for example, the phone's media volume level is set to the last setting for that app (or max volume for first use after Volume Save has been activated).
Enjoy.

Not sure bcoz last update of the app was on 2014 . Maybe developer dropped the development of this app
Thank you, that's the App that I'm looking for, did it work on android oreo? Great app!!!
I have been looking through the android API but can't seem to be able to find an API that could enable me to set the volume level per specific app. For example, if I have sportify in the background and I open clash of clans, both apps will be concurrently using the audio output. So I need possibly an already made API with the means of reducing the volume for one app and increasing for the other. Should be like the mixer on windows.

Hey,
Currently I'm on Android 5.1.1 (Oneplus2) which has the Soundapp MaxxAudio installed. Everytime I'm listening to music on youtube for example and at the same time i want to listen to a Whatsapp voice Message, the App automatically turns down the volume of the youtube music, so i can listen to the music in the background and at the same time hear my voicemessage. This is perfect for my using habits of the phone!
But i want to flash Android 7 and i couldnt find anything about a sound app with a similar function(And there is no version of MaxxAudio for Nougat). Does anyone know an app/mod/whatever so my beloved sound settings will work on Android 7?
Thank you!
