[GUIDE] Increase Speaker/Head Phone Volume - Eee Pad Transformer Android Development

All credit goes to Meltus from G1 forum. I use this on my G1 and gave it try my transformer and it worked great.
Please make a nandroid backup before you attempt this.
Please place files attached below in same directory as ADB!!!!!
adb remount (sudo adb remount for linux users)
- wait for the 'remount succeeded' message
adb push AudioFilter.csv system/etc
adb push AudioPara4.csv system/etc
adb push AudioPreProcess.csv system/etc
Please find files attached below.

thats great wonder how tinny they ate going to get at full blast after this mod.

How big of a difference are we talking here?

its probaably the only thing Im really dissapointed about is the speakers on my Transformer. The speakers on my iPad 2 are so much better than these. A well deserved MOD

Can't seem to get the adb remount command to work. Says I dont have permission.

i tried using everyting in the attached zip, but cannot tell a difference.
after i send the files.. is there a setting i have to turn on?
i tried powering off and on my transformer and theres no difference..
so i'm wondering if i am doing anything wrong?

I would assume that as this is dealing with system access you need to be rooted for this to work, so mentioning that in the first post might be advisable. Also, details on what it actually fixes might be nice. If it's just volume levels then this can easily be done with apps from the market. Cheers.

can you make flashable file m8

Well, not for everything. Only to protected areas of the filesystem.

The changes these file should max out the speaker without distorting the speaker. The transformer speakers is horrible. The edited files should max the speaker even though it is horrible. I noticed the difference when I have the head phone plugged.

Tried this and there was the sound of distortion even with no music playing.

As said above, Volume+ is one. Or basically type the word 'volume' into the market and get about 20 apps pop up that will do the same job. There's also one called 'Equalizer'.

I could never understand why people get an app for a one step improvement...especially when it's already made so simple by the manufacturer.

Quick Boot is a whopping 29kb installed and is easier to use despite what some members think. Wasted space is space unused.

Well I for one love it, saves a lot of wear and tear on the buttons on my phone. Anything that will save the wear and tear on my phone is imo a good thing. I don't know why people would want to hit all the buttons to do a reboot, enter recovery and so on its a pain in the butt.

So far, saving wear on the button is the best argument I've heard regarding such an app. That makes more sense... although I'd call HTC and get it repaired if that happened, which I doubt as the buttons seem durable enough. Anyway, your points are well-taken, but humbly disagreed with.

[APP] New ADB App not yet in the Market

Created by Dror Becker. He's worked really hard and it works great. This app is an easy way to use adb. All you have to do is install the apk and follow the instructions.
I've been using this all day and it changed my life.

Guys it works. It's 100%. I can't wait for an update!
Damn man, @Drorbecker you are the ****! My Nexus One has become so much more valuable, Thanks man
Weird cuz I installed this on my G1 and it works great!
A valuable resource for the Android community!
Can't wait to start using this on the my Nexus One when I can afford one!
Thanks!
all that has been done with Android and this barely is thought of, wow we are late
this is awesome app, great work!
is it good for fastboot?

Is it not obvious from the OP? Your battery will last 3x longer. Or more.
all is not very conclusive 2GHZ overclock? WHAT?
3 hours more battery? WHY?
a little more light on what it does or close the thread... sorry
Guys, this video should help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pk6gvBPMa4
200 MB more RAM????
and the last twitter message (if you click on the link follow on twitter) says "you have to pull the battery after it has done its work to finish it"...
seriously, that doesn't sound healthy at all.... besides, if you just understand which buttons to press simultaneously (e.g. power while holding volume down to go into bootloader, etc.), you NEVER have to pull the battery....

I'm not really sure how long you've been around, but I wouldn't just suggest crap.
Some of the other reports of features are incorrect, but this app definitely makes using ADB much easier for you. You don't even need a computer.
@the dude of life.
pls. enlighten us, what's this app do then?

[Q] insensitive touchscreen in areas

The screen on my tablet becomes insensitive in certain areas, requires hard presses or doesn't respond at all. Funny thing is the problem seems to go away after about 30 min of use but returns if the screen is locked and unlocked. Anyone having similar issues or a fix? Currently running vegantab beta 4 but had same problems with tnt lite.
EDIT: this is the exact issue I have although this is not my video
www DOT youtube DOT com SLASH watch?v=-Uhwpn3buzQ
Search for Calibration Fix in these forums. Depending on which ROM you are running, you can either create an empty file named calibration.ini file and put it at the root of your /sdcard or /sdcard2 and reboot. that seems to fix the issue for many people.
Thanks for the help! That fixed my issue.
im having the same issue. but this fix is not fixing the problem, unless i am doing something wrong. I am using the vegan rom.
I've used astro to create a new zip file called calibration.ini
but not working....am i doing something wrong the way I am making the .ini file? If so what is the correct way. (sorry if I am sounding completly stupid, I'm actually computer literate lol)
Is there another way to calibrate the screen?
I'd create the calibration.ini file on BOTH /sdcard and /sdcard2, then power off/on, not touching the screen, since there's apparently a hacked version of the calibration program, just to be sure.
have already tried that to no avail lol

Hi,
Sorry, didn't read your post carefuuly enough. Did you say you created a *ZIP* file?
Should be just an empty file, with filename all lowercase.
Jim
ok...not real sure how to do that.
can you give me a step by step?
I'm just now starting to dabble in android so im still low in the learning curve, sorry.

You can probably use ES File Explorer. Use that and browse to /sdcard. Click menu icon (the 4 lines icon), then New on bottom, then file, and type the 'calibration.ini' for file name. Do same for /sdcard2.
Power off, then on.
After completely on, use File Explorer again, to delete those files, otherwise it'll try calibrate every boot.
awsome...thank you very much!

My understanding is that the calibration apparently runs once when you power up, if it finds that calibration.ini file. No prompts or visible display.

It doesn't do anything different that you'll see at start-up. Make sure you let it sit for a minute after it starts so you don't mess it up.

How do you calibrate a touchscreen without registering touchpoints? Hmm. Interesting. I guess I should try this since people report it working. I don't have a problem when holding it landscape, but in portrait mode unless I'm reading an e-book, I find myself having to pay attention to touching buttons.

Well, I've certainly seen other touchscreens that do more sophisticated calibrations. Nonetheless, this seems to calibrate the un-touched state and it seems to achieve good enough results that everybody I've seen who's tried it with touchscreen sensitivity issues, issues with pinch-and-zoom, issues with soft keyboard keys in certain areas of the screen and so on, has posted that it fixed the issues for them.
Do not touch the screen while the tablet is booting. Wait for it to completely boot. The calibration process will pick up your touch, and interfere with the calibration process. I noticed today I picked it up and carried it across the room while booting the the screen was totally unresponsive. I have never noticed that problem ever before (I am old fashioned and still running 2.00 with the calibration hack added). When I rebooted it was fine and I remembered the developers for my Odroid T has said the same thing while they were working on a better screen calibration routine on boot.

[Q] CALL QUALITY (call eq?)

I have always had a lot of low end sound when in a call on my skyrocket (always as in before root) making it hard to hear someone who mumbles or has a lower voice.
w or w/o headphones still have problem. *moreso referring to speaker on phone though
I have tried a plethora of eq's but none seem to affect incoming call sound.
flashed beats audio (by fuss132) problem got worse.
is there any root level eq's or any way i can boost my mids and decrease lows on calls?
I would like to know too. My new A9220 is too trebly but an EQ might help.
Have you tried finding volume+ on google there's a forum that has a free app in it
CM9 Skyrocket
Thanks I have downloaded volume+, the paid version but I need root access and I've been unsuccessful in rooting so far. Any other product suggestions welcome. Volume+ say their speaker quality function is experimental and it doesn't seem like it gives the ability to EQ the incoming call but lets hope it helps or this phone is going back....

[Q] Disable Shutter Sound w/o root or 3rd party app

Is there any way to disable the shutter sound? I just picked up a Photon Q for my wife and I, and this sound is loud and annoying. I don't want to root the phone yet, and would like to keep the stock photo app. I tried the Enforced Stream Silencer app, but that didn't work. Any ideas?
As far as I know that's negative.
Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2
You could use a crappy app like "Uva Silent Camera Free"...
Not a good solution, I know. I was kinda surprised when placing the phone on 'silent' didn't do a damned thing to that really loud camera shutter sound...
Otherwise, if you could mount /system R/W you could easily 'fix' this issue
if you are rooted get root explorer and go to /system/media/audio/ui and move or delete the item called camera click and it won't even when you take a screen shot

just renaming it to camera_click.ogg.bkup is enough, if you wanted to keep the file around to make it like stock again.

I appreciate the method for those with root. I'll change that file today. i read in online reviews that you can't get rid of the sound under normal methods. I figured I wouldn't care, but its more annoying than I thought. People ask me all the time if i can turn that crap off.

Yea, if you have root... it's a very effective method
I figured this was doable but never dug around for it, it feels so eerie now that it doesn't make any noise, I might instead edit the file to reduce the volume.
I don't have the Photon anymore, but there is an apk somewhere on this board that is called Enhanced Silencer. That worked perfectly on my Photon and didn't require root.
I should say that it did work for the regular Photon, but not sure 'bout the Q.
