What This Mod Does:
Nexus devices have pitifully low volume.
Previous fixes like the
Volume+ app and
Franco's app only increased the volume
on music playback, or in the
headphones, but did nothing for in-call
volume or notifications.
This mod changes all that. It will
increase ALL volume, across the entire
phone: ringtone, music, notifications,
loudspeaker sound, ear speaker sound,
in-call volume, and headset.
----------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
✔ Rooted .
✔ Custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
✔ Jellybean Deodexed OR Odexed.
✔ Custom kernel with high quality audio
tweak enabled is recommended (e.g.
Franco or Trinity or AK).
✔ Nandroid Backup, I implore people to
have at least one recent one as this
method is faster.
-----------------------------------------
Compatible With :
✔ Universal for all kernels and ROMs.
✔ All major players, including: Google
Music, Noozy, PowerAMP (see note
below), Apollo, PlayerPRO.
Note on PowerAMP - To allow
PowerAMP to be controlled by
external DSP/EQ you must disable
Direct Volume Control under Audio
Tweaks in Settings.
------------------------------------------
Installation:
*Revert previously installed patch as
necessary.
1. Copy zip to Internal Storage
2. Boot to custom recovery
3. Install zip from sdcard
4. Reboot
5. Choose EIZO ReWire PRO under
Settings > Sound > Music Effects
Note: If you do not have the "Music
Effects" submenu then EIZO should be
enabled by default since it's the only
DSP present.
-----------------------------------------------------
FAQ:
>What you should do:
✔ Configure EIZO, Select it in Music
Effects.
✔ Refer to the Op for EIZO settings.
✔ Practice tuning your own values. EVERY
user has their own listening experience.
✔ What sounds good to one and not the
other doesn't become the fault of the
MOD.
✔ Keep backups of your Alsa Mixer if you
use call recording BEFORE flashing this
MOD
✔ Keep backups (The revert is safe) but I
am not responsible for loops if you
flash this on another device.
✔ Flash the MOD after every ROM flash.
Not necessarily kernel flash.
✔ Search if your ROM has been
mentioned. KEYWORDS are a must.
Example is 'PA works' and the results
will be displayed. If not feel free to ask
and I shall assist you.
>What you shouldn't do:
✔ Test the loudness via Settings. There is
an implemented system limiter so you
can't tell the difference. Call yourself or
sms yourself so you can know the
difference.
✔ Complain of distortion without testing
your own values. I've set a recommend
layout in the OP hoping it's to give you
an idea.
✔ Error 7, Error 7 is a halt procedure.
Please debug the error and see what's
written before saying Error 7 only.
✔ Alternate flashing. (I know some of you
prefer to flash the Gnexus mod on the
N7 but doing so breaks the media
codes, if you have the patience to swap
the media codes in etc folder of the N7
then it's fine)
✔ Don't use Noozy lockscreen controls,
they're unreliable till a new app is
remade.
✔ Don't use compression in EIZO. Causes
massive volume fluctuations as it was
set to be an AVLS.
✔ Please refrain from asking about
PowerAMP as it denies the use of third
party DSP's which make PlayerPro a
better alternative.

NexusLouderV4B1 4.3 only
Completed
- Porting over libs

Missing :
- Since ROM's are still experimental,
therefore these builds are considered
experimental until proven stable.
- Lack of kernel with audio boost
Bugs:
- Raising the volume in-app (noozy)
won't increase past 10/15, you need to
tab out, raise the volume and accept to
bypass the safety limit
- Bass needs retuning and so do some
volume levels
- New codecs were added in 4.3, they
need to be affected aswell and added
to media_codecs.xml aswell as
audio_config, atm they are't tuned
- Revert causes no audio, can be fixed
by flashing your ROM again.
- Not compatible with PowerAMP
yet.
