LG’s newest flagship, the G2, is a beast of performance and houses some pretty lavish specifications— a mighty Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad core processor clocked at 2.26GHz, 5.2″ Full HD IPS Display, 2GB RAM, 13 MP main camera and a 3,000 mAh Li-Polymer battery. Well, all these stuff sound really awesome and the phone impresses with its features too. However, there are a few things in regard to which the users of this phone are not quite happy.
First, there are issues related to camera, namely lag while using the camera and comparatively poor image quality. Secondly, LG G2 users are not happy with the speaker and headphone volume output of the phone. we all know that Android is the world of possibilities where any software related issue of a device with a good fan base does not go unattended. We have a big developer community that is talented enough to overcome any hurdle. All I mean to say is, there is a workaround or fix for every known issue on a popular Android device.
If you own the LG G2 and do feel that the speaker volume of your phone is not loud enough, you must be looking for a solution to make it louder. now we have a perfectly working volume hack mod for the LG G2 that boosts the speaker and headphone volume of this phone noticeably louder.

Install LG G2 volume boost Mod:
Installing the custom volume hack mod is very easy as all you have to is to replace the system file with the one downloaded from above. If you are new to such things, here are the steps to do it:
Unzip the downloaded volume boost mod zip. You’ll find a file named “snd_soc_msm_Taiko”. copy this file to your phone.
Launch the root browser app and go to /system/etc/ directory.
Find the system file with “snd_soc_msm_Taiko” name and copy it to some folder on your phone as a backup.
Now go to the modded “snd_soc_msm_Taiko” file, tap and hold it and select copy.
Navigate to /system/etc/ folder again and paste it here.
When it asks if you want to overwrite the older file, choose “Yes”.
After the system file is replaced, you need to set permission for the “snd_soc_msm_Taiko” file to 0644, that is rw- r– r– (Owner= Read+Write, Group=Read and Others= Read) . To know more about how to set file permission on Android, read this guide.
When you have done with overwriting the system file with the modded one, exit root browser and reboot your phone. now test your phone’s speaker and headphone volume. You must feel it louder and better than ever. Enjoy!
