Hey everyone!
I received my Galaxy Nexus yesterday and have been working on a more ICS ‘optimised’ version for you all (It should work better on Gingerbread/Honeycomb too)!
There’s nothing massively exciting that’s been added but it should be a nice improvement over 1.8.0.6.
A list of updates can be found below!

What’s New in 1.8.1.0?
- Attempt at some ICS optimisations
- Added a check for phones with ICS (takes you to sound settings to enable Volume+ in Meida Effects)
- App starts differently (should be more reliable)
- App should be more ‘persistant’ (see above)
- EQ values completely changed
- Volume levels completely changed
- Higher volumes now available (up to +20)
- Louder volumes should now be attainable
- EQ Band frequencies now shown
- Removed title bar
- Fixed orientation issue
- 'What's New' option on the main page removed (click version number to access change log)
- Broken EQ settings (from the first Beta) now fixed

Known Bugs
- Virtual Room Effects and Bass Boost don’t currently work on ICS (investigating)

For more info and Download links - http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=16

My app is available for free on my website or for 99p on the Android Market.

Enjoy! :)

anyone get this to work on IN CALL volume?

my speaker volume is perfect on the current market version of V+, but when driving, even on speakerphone it's so low i can't hear anything and i'm hoping maybe one of you can tell me if this will boost that volume.

Unfortunately you still can't boost the in-call volume (earpiece or speakerphone) with the AudioEffects API. This seems to be a limitation Google put in place.
You can change the Build.prop to increase the number of in-call volume steps but it doesn't necessarily increase the sound, more like allows you to 'fine-tune' the volume. Although, on ICS, it only seems to work once. The linux command to remove the line doesn't seem to work (although it could just be the ROM i'm currently using).

blah that sucks. it's fine pretty much everywhere for me except in the car on the highway because my car is so damn loud (crappy piece of junk). Guess it's time to buy a bluetooth headset or speakerphone.

thanks for the reply.

Why the big warning about Stock ROMs on the Market Page? What functionality do you lose if you're running a stock ROM?

    If i use power amp, this app doesn't have an effect on soundeffect, is it true? Or am i stupid?!? With the stock music apk i hear the difference, but not with power amp...

    Nope, PowerAMP has it's own EQ that overwrites the one in Volume+ I'm afraid :(

    That warning was for older phones mainly (like the Nexus One, where it hardly worked at all on a stock rom but worked really well on CM). You will notice that it can go louder with a custom ROM but not by that much anymore :)

    Also, Volume+ v1.8.1.0 has now been updated on the Android Market and is available for download on my website. Not much has changed since the second beta but here's the link - http://androidaudiohacks.com/?p=158

    Enjoy! :)

    Same here. It only increases the numbers of steps, but doesn't affect the volume

    Yeah, you wont get a volume increase from applying this mod.
    However, you CAN fine-tune the volume. So, say full volume is loud enough, but slightly distorted. The more steps you have the less the volume will drop with each step. You can then decrease the level until the volume is still loud enough but has little to no distortion, etc.
    Of course, this wont help if your max in-call volume is too quiet to begin with! :p

    Damn, another graphical change I missed ><
    Ah well, nothing major was changed from v1.9.0.2, it's pretty much the same just with a few unimportant fixes.
