How can we make the music louder?

Ok I've spent a few days with various audiofilters and I've found what seems to be the best combination so far.

audio_boost.zip

Download and flash through Clockwork recovery. Make a nandroid backup first so you can go back to the original files if you want to.

The files are based on G7 r1v2 audio filters from XDA and I've added the headset & BT audio boost. On maximum volume with headphones I get no distortion at all. I can't set the volume any higher without introducing distortion so this will probably the best anybody can do.

Through the speaker it's not too bad. Some very slight distortion at maximum volume but it certainly sounds a little louder than it used to. The volume level through headphones is definitely increased though.

you, sir, are my hero. this fix is way better than the stock sound or Louder Volume Hack 3.6. great for music. it is louder, more bass added and the distortion is just tiny little one. tnx again

thanks for this, but what option in clockwork recovery should I choose to put this on?

I don't hear the distortion on headphones but I certainly do hear it a little bit through the speaker. Solution is to just turn the volume down a couple of ticks.

how do I make a "nandroid backup" if I want to go back to the original settings?

I use the SF for Navigation as well, I'd like some more volume but not if it distorts too much on the speaker...

EDIT: OK, I googled nandroid backup, haven't done it yet...

Flibblesan, can't you post a *.zip of the original sound filter files so we can flash them back to the SF without having to go through other procedures?

LOUD! This combined with PowerAMP seriously rocks the headphones, and no distortion! Thanks.

WOW well I must be doing something wrong, I installed the file and then PowerAMP and don't notice much difference to be honest, with PowerAmp you can play with EQ's etc but they all distort.

But it is one sexy player, Nicest one out there I think.

Yep I agree, tried it out today at work still very very low, I would go as far as to say volume is about half that of an iPod/iPhone

I downloaded Lithium music player today, it has a volume boost feature and it does work, music is louder with no distortion, However I was shocked, I listened to 2 podcasts total about 2.5hrs the battery was dead. So maybe this may be the reason the volume is so low, to help battery life.

This is no good to people who listen to music. It's not a device for music at all. Might as well took away the headphones and music player.

What sort of headphones are you lot using? A decent set of isolation earbuds make this really quite a decent player especially with poweramp's equaliser, bass and treble control.

Hi,

I just installed PowerAMP on my SF but it doesn't recognise my mp3 files,

I already selected the music folders under settings and ran a scan, but it doesn't help.

Does someone know a solution?

Thanks Flibble, it worked exactly as advertised for me, many thanks :)

Did LVH work for you? It never worked for me (I think?). I just assumed the ZTE Blade wasn't supported. THIS however works excellently! Thank you.

Don't want to wreck my phone again :-)

Seems to be working fine here using 3 player. Not tried any other player.

Thanks for this fibble. Unfortunately it made no difference to mine though (MCR r4). It's still loud enough to be usable though, especially with noise isolating headphones.

Can you just copy the files using root explorer or have u got to use clockwork to install the files from the SD card.

I need dynamic loudness. The quieter spots in some of my classical tracks are too quiet to hear in my car, but the loud spots are quite loud enough.

Anyone have any tips for me?

I am using iPhone skullcandy headset.. the volume is nothing but great, even too loud so I run it at 50% most of the times.

I tried the fix - It may have helped slightly but not enough for me to notice the difference anyway. I am running JJ release 7.
