Long gone are the days where a phone is just used for calling and SMS. Smartphones have fundamentally changed the way we use and interact with portable phones. Voice assistants, biometric scanners, wider camera lens, VR and everything once we thought was fantasy is slowly turning to reality. Smartphones are eventually turning into power houses for playing games and watching high definition videos. After all this mumbo jumbo, I still didn’t find a smartphone which delivers the best audio experience. Ultimately, I always prefer a volume booster mod or audio enhancer mod to live the day.
In the past decade, we’ve witnessed a huge development in processing power and quality software. However, almost every OEM miss the importance of quality audio experience on their devices. Speaker quality is the most neglected thing in smartphones but thanks to volume mods, we can get the best of our devices. Talking of volume mods, XDA member hp420ย has made a volume booster mod for Moto G4 2016 devices. This simple Moto G4 Volume mod will increase the loudness of your speaker without damaging the hardware.
The Volume Booster Mod will change the stock values of theย mixer_paths.xmlย file to improve the Volume level. As this file is located in the system partition, you’ll need a rooted device to make changes to it. The default volume level in Moto G4 devices is 84 and increasing this value will boost the volume level. The XDA developer has made some optimal mixer_paths.xml files for Moto G4 devices. So, let’s see how to use those files to boost Volume on your device.
