Volume increase hack found!!!!

[Jayb222]

Meltus from XDA has found a hack to increase the volume of our quiet little G1 through adb!!!

Original thread and files here.

I tried it and it works very well. I went straight to V2 to update. I can hear my phone in my pocket now!!!


What the thread says:

CONFIRMED WORKING ON JF's, THE DUDE AND HAYKURO'S BUILDS!!

yup, after much tinkering and a very helpful shove in the right direction by Bavilo, some vital info from bahnburner and many others i forgot to give credit to (sorry guys), i've finally managed to increase the maximum volume for the G1 Loud speaker, in-call speaker and headset.
first off, i've set the loudspeaker as loud as it will go (which, surprisingly isn't that much louder, just more distorted), and the headset volume a bit under max.

ok, basically, there are 2 ways to do this:

method 1) - download the included zip file and extract the files inside to your desktop. take Haykuro's 6.0r1 build and open it with winrar or something similar. navigate to 'system/etc' and overwrite the 3 files in there with the ones you extracted. (BACKUP FIRST!!!!) then re-sign the update.zip, bang it on your sdcard and flash your phone with it. then your good to go!

method 2) - make sure you have adb working on your computer. first off you might need to:

adb remount

then type:

adb pull /system/etc/AudioFilter.csv Desktop/BACKUP [enter]
adb pull /system/etc/AudioPara_TMUS.csv Desktop/BACKUP [enter]
adb pull /system/etc/AudioPara4.csv Desktop/BACKUP [enter]

this creates a backup of the files we're going to replace.
then MAKE SURE the files in the included.zip are extracted to your desktop and then type:

adb push AudioFilter.csv /system/etc [enter]
adb push AudioPara_TMUS.csv /system/etc [enter]
adb push AudioPara4.csv /system/etc [enter]

if everything worked ok then type:

adb shell [enter]
reboot [enter]

thats it!!! enjoy

I have yet to see a terminal emu way to do it.

this is what i used...

from XDA

i thought i'd throw this out there for Terminal users:

$su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#mkdir /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#cd /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#busybox cp /system/etc/AudioFilter.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#busybox cp /system/etc/AudioPara_TMUS.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#busybox cp /system/etc/AudioPara4.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp

#mkdir /sdcard/tmp
#cd /sdcard/tmp
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/etc/AudioFilter.csv
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/e...oPara_TMUS.csv
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/etc/AudioPara4.csv

#busybox cp AudioFilter.csv /system/etc
#busybox cp AudioPara_TMUS.csv /system/etc
#busybox cp AudioPara4.csv /system/etc

this is something i might add in to my script file .. to automate

Lazy, can you clarify the 2nd part? The 3 csv files that I downloaded, go on my sd card, correct? After the "#wget" what do I type in? Thanks.


#mkdir /sdcard/tmp
#cd /sdcard/tmp
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/etc/AudioFilter.csv
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/e...oPara_TMUS.csv
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/etc/AudioPara4.csv

I have the same question. Is the second part necessary and how do we enter it since it is a link.

$su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#mkdir /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#cd /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#busybox cp /system/etc/AudioFilter.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#busybox cp /system/etc/AudioPara_TMUS.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
#busybox cp /system/etc/AudioPara4.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp

#mkdir /sdcard/tmp
#cd /sdcard/tmp

#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/etc/AudioFilter.csv
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/etc/AudioPara_TMUS.csv
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/etc/AudioPara4.csv

this is just to download them using terminal. you can simply place them on your sdcard and skip this step i'm assuming. then move on to the busybox commands.

#busybox cp AudioFilter.csv /system/etc
#busybox cp AudioPara_TMUS.csv /system/etc
#busybox cp AudioPara4.csv /system/etc
