MaxVol
A simple app that allows you to set the maximum volume available on your phone.
It goes from 5% to 200%. Volume adjustment happens instantly.
Be aware high volumes might damage the speaker. Also keep in mind to adjust ring tone volume accordingly regarding the new maximum volume
(This means if the slider is far right and you set maximum volume to 150% the ringtone will now go off at 150%)
Sourcecode can be found on github

Hello could You port it for Xperia X, sometimes it really needs more than 100% volume.

Not planned for now as a higher volume on this device might too easily damage the speakers.

Why not state this on the description page? Or can other users not see this app in Storeman etc.?

This application is great! Found some passive speakers in a drawer, 130% is perfect for those. Thanks!

OS Version 1.1.9.28 stopped working (nothing changes). Before worked like a charm.

Still works here on 1.1.9.28
Can you elaborate on "nothing changes" ? What exactly did you test ?

Sorry for my bad english! I apply the changes increase the volume, but the latest firmware changes are not happening.

I for example tried music files.
When set volume to max in the player and then changing the maximum volume in maxvol it will increase the overall volume.
What might have changed is the ringtone volume. That is now using apparently a different mixer and cannot be turned over 100% as it seems (or at least it will always show up until 100% in settings)
Did you mean that ?
If yes this is a limitation for now.

I mean the overall volume. I used your program and volume increased steadily throughout the system, now change (increase) is not happening. I have to manually change the values in the file /etc/pulse/arm_qct_msm8930_cdp.pa

It works here.
Though true that the sound mixers changed in 1.1.9.28 a bit. So not every sound volume is raised. At least media apps (like Media Player and LLs Video Player) work fine here. They do not work for you with increased volume ?

Alas ... I always manually changed values and exit your program everything became much easier, but with the program update 1.1.9.28 - the volume system (Bell, music, etc.) does not change.

Strange then. Is there any error message when started from terminal or ssh session ?

Ask your forgiveness! It was a system error, I did a full reset and program works perfectly!

Great. Thanks for making the fix into an app. The autostart feature makes this a worthwile addition.

As harbour rejected the app because they don't want to accept an app that has the slightest chance to break the speaker I enabled the autostart feature as Maxvol will be only available here on openrepos

There is a .service file on github that you can use https://github.com/llelectronics/maxvol/blob/master/harbour-maxvol.service
It needs to be put in /etc/systemd/user/ directory and be enabled as root(devel-su) with systemctl-user enable harbour-maxvol

This is disabled in the code currently.
Feel free to dig into the code to make it work. However first test by one user show that it might be buggy or not work like expected yet.
In general editing /home/nemo/.config/harbour-maxvol/settings.ini and setting autostart to true and the desired volume and then creating an autostart entry which starts harbour-maxvol --autostart should be enough.
