Fix for mic-problem with CM 13 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had the problem with my s5 running cm 13, that the mic voume was very low. So i searched for a fix but didn't really found something but that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/fix-low-microphone-volume-kitkat-t2930748
There it is eyplained how to increase the mic-volume for the sony xperia m2.
That's how you can do it with the S5:
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage. Do it on your own risk!
1. download for example file Manager and activate in the settings the root settings (root Explorer and writeable)
2. go to /System/etc
2. save the file "mixer_paths.xml" if you do any mistake
3. open the file with the editor and scroll down to line (half of the page) <!-- Recording Scenario -->
4. Change the values u need to to i.e.: 899:
An exampel:
Code:
<ctrl name="DEC2 Volume" value="899" />
5. Save the file and reboot.
Now the microphone must be louder. You need to look which value is the best, i am using the value 899. When i tryed a higher value the mic doesn't work.
Hope i could help you! Please correct me if i am wrong with something!
My modified mixer_paths.xml file:

camera 360 can't save photo to sdcard

After i upgrade my note 3 (sm-n900) to android 4.4 kitkat... my 360 camera app cant't save photo to extsdcard. is it just me? Or because of new kitkat update .help!
Have a look around, theres an issue with using extSD card, there is also a fix for it. - NOt sure if it'll fix saving pictures to SD Card but I don't have issues.

You posted the question in someone's else thread and I answered you there.
I'll post the same answer here.
1. Install es file manager or any file reader with root.
2. navigate to /System/etc/permissions
3. open "platform.xml" file to edit
4. look for the stack that has "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
you will find something like <group gid="sdcard_r" />
5. make sure these lines are there, if not, add them
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
That's it
I was also unable to save my photos to the external SD because in the Camera360 settings, when I change the save location to "external sd" and the dialogue popped up for me to choose a folder in the external SD, no folders showed up.
Any way, whether or not your problem is similar, if someone is reading this thread and is unable to save to ext SD, try what I did. Manually change the save directory.
You need a rooted phone and a root explorer like ES File explorer.
Go the this directory: /data/data/vStudio.Android.Camera360/shared_prefs/
Open the file "vStudio.Android.Camera360_global.xml" with a text editor. This is where some settings are stored. Go to the following line(close to the end):
<string name="pref_camera_save_path_key">/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/<string>
(you might have a different path depending on what is currently set as the save directory in Camera360)
Change the path in this line to the path you want it save photos in. For example, I have a "DCIM/Camera" folder in my external sdcard and I want the photos to be saved there, so change it to "/storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera/", that is, now that line is changed to
<string name="pref_camera_save_path_key">/storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera/<string>
NOTE THAT In your phone external sdcard may be at a different path instead of "/storage/sdcard1. Accordingly change it.

Hi, thank you so much for your post. After 5 to 6 fails, I found out that I have to restart the device for it to work.... sorry guys, is there way to change how the picture is named? For example taking out "C360_" on the name?
Thanks.

Edit mixer paths.xml denied

Hi,
I am trying to edit the mixer paths xml file in order to change microphone volumenbut for some reason when I am trying to save it, it says can't save. It seems this file/folder only for read.
I could see a lot of people changed this file.
What do I need to do?
Of course I rooted my phone.
Thank you.

How to REALLY increase your Honor 7 maximum volume

I've seen a lot of methods posted here, none of them is really working. The easiest and most effective way is this one. (Headphones only)
You need a rooted device and a file manager with root access.
Go to root\cust\hw\eu\prop and open local.prop with an editor. Search for the "ro.config.ce_authenticate=1" line and add a # before it. Save the file.
Now go to root\etc\audio\hi6402 and look for the "mixer_volumes_PLK_L01_ce.xml" file, and for the "normal" version of it. Delete them both. You may want to make a backup of them, in case you want to return to the previous situation. Now look for the two "PLK_TL" mixer files and rename them both. Change "TL" with "L01".
Basically you're tricking your honor 7 into taking the asian variant values for the audio, so you'll get the full audio output of that model.
Reboot and you're done.
Volume is MASSINGLY increased. Viper4Android will optimize the quality and make it sound even louder. Please don't listen to your music at maximum volumes for a long time.
If this is useful to you please say thanks
Flashable .zip
I just quickly made a flashable .zip that replaces a few values in the two files,
so that you don't need to do any tinkering whatsoever , just flash it

Ned decryption key for download
Just get Dolby Atmos?

Thanks for the guide

Unlock Hidden Features in MIUI 8 Camera [Kenzo][MM]

Prerequisites
1. Rooted Device
2. TWRP Recovery
3. APK Editor
4. Any File Explorer with root access
5. Camera2 API
Procedure
1. Open file explorer and go to "/system/app/miuisystem" and copy the "miuisystem.apk" to phone memory
(Also make a backup of this file elsewhere)
2. Copy the downloaded "kenzo.xml" to phone memory
3. Install and open APK Editor then touch "Select an APK file" option
4. Select the "miuisystem.apk" from phone memory (From step 1) and choose "Simple Edit"
5. Navigate to "assets/device_features/" and locate "kenzo.xml", then touch the edit button on its right
6. Now select the "kenzo.xml" (From step 2) and touch the "Save" button on the right, then save the apk using "Save" button on the bottom
You will see a message, saying that the new apk was saved to "/storage/emulated/0/ApkEditor/tmp/gen.apk"​7. Open file explorer and go to "/storage/emulated/0/ApkEditor/tmp/" and rename "gen.apk" to "miuisystem.apk"
8. Move this "miuisystem.apk" to phone memory (For easy access from TWRP)(Optional)
9. Now reboot your device to TWRP recovery
10. Mount "system" partition
11. Open TWRP file explorer and navigate to "/system/app/miuisystem" and delete "miuisystem.apk"
12. Copy edited "miuisystem.apk" to "/system/app/miuisystem" and set CHMOD 755
13. Reboot your device and you'll see new options unlocked in camera
If it's taking too long to reboot it means that something went wrong (Good thing we have backed up the original miuisystem.apk). Boot into TWRP and restore the miuisystem.apk and repeat the steps carefully.​
Note
This method works for other devices running MIUI8 but you'll have to extract "youdevicename.xml" from "miuisystem.apk" and edit it yourself.
As always, I'm not responsible for damaged devices, do it at your own risk.
Have fun!
Bugs
1. Somehow the system timer (inside system clock) breaks. It doesn't sound the notification when timer runs out.
2. Exposure time setting in camera has no effect.
If anyone here can help me fix this, PM me.
Nice one bro

Hi, I can see this in your xml file:
<!--whether the device supports phone call noise suppression-->
<bool name="support_phone_call_noise_suppression">false</bool>
was it by default on false or did you change it?
This may help solving issue there is on Redmi phones, the noise cancellation get activated when recording video and this is causing awful result in the video file.
There are several bug report on miui forum about this, actually what we need is to disable "noise cancellation" for everything else but phone calls.
(you can see video that explain the issue on redmi 4, but redmi 2 and 3/3s... have this issue too...)
Do you have an idea?

It was "false" by default. Try making it true and check if the issue gets fixed.

Another process that sometimes works is as follows...
Enable developer options and set Bluetooth Audio a codec to SBC
(Arguably an older codec but volume much louder for me )
