Override Android's default volume steps. Set your own custom step count from 1 to 1000. No root required.

32steps splits each system volume gap into smaller sub-steps by applying a gain offset through DynamicsProcessing (or Equalizer on older devices). An accessibility service intercepts volume buttons and a foreground service keeps it running in the background. Works across all apps. No root, no internet.

Sound profiles: select your headphones from 6000+ models and the app applies an EQ correction based on measured frequency response data from AutoEQ. Save multiple presets with different headphones and step counts. The database is updated automatically.

Graphic equalizer: 10-band graphic EQ to create custom headphone profiles or fine-tune existing AutoEQ profiles. Reset to original AutoEQ defaults anytime.

Features:

Custom volume step count (1-1000)
6000+ headphone sound profiles from AutoEQ
10-band graphic equalizer
Create, edit, and save custom headphone profiles
Channel balance control
Save presets per headphone
Works with hardware volume buttons
System-wide audio control
Volume overlay with progress bar
Haptic feedback on all controls
Android TV support (sound profiles and EQ, custom steps not supported)

No root required
No internet permission

Requires Android 8+.

Note: On Android 13+, you may need to allow restricted settings first. Go to Settings > Apps > 32steps, tap the three dots, then tap Allow restricted settings.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

Libraries:

Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
AndroidX Activity (Utility)
provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.
AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
Constraint Layout Library (Utility)
library to reduce the number of nested views needed.
Coordinatorlayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to position top-level application widgets, such as AppBarLayout and FloatingActionButton.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Recyclerview (Utility)
display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.
Android Activity Saved State (Utility)
provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.
Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
AndroidX Widget ViewPager2 (UI Component)
replaces AndroidX ViewPager, addressing most of its predecessor’s pain-points, including right-to-left layout support, vertical orientation, modifiable Fragment collections, etc.
Google Material Design (Utility)
library to help with material design guidelines.
