I used k07 rom. When i've flashed this mod and reboot, my phone boot success but after 3 times reboot, my phone boot loop ( just into home screen in 3s)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
I just flash v14 reboot then flash volumeboost reboot and wow everything on my sony xperia z is so perfect :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
What is volume boost? Where to download it? I wanna try.
[Xperia Z Android Development] slimshouki:
Volume is still too low on headphones
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
PM either eddietah or tanoxxx for it.

It boosts speaker and in call significantly but I won't be responsible if you break your speakers

Just make sure not to turn the speakers on full blast because it will cause distortion and maybe lower the life of the speakers

I swore I already set to 666 in the updater script!

Swiped from my epic XPERIA Z C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] moonset:
thanks ,

just tried it, rebooted phone after changing permission.

but problem is not solved.

it wasnt already 666 , maybe because i also flashed the stock volume patch?

i used a taskkiller to kill the walkman app, and the eq will always go back to psycorealism.

it doesnt bother me really, but it would be better if this can be fixed :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
I totally agree with you..

VolumeBoost was cretaed for to use on aosp rom, is not maked for sony stock firmware, i think VolumeBoost + PureXAudio is too much..

but is also true everyone maked all him want... but after if you break your speaker.. mind your own business

I still wanted to say thank at Zero for your hard work untill now and for the VolumeBoost.. with this last you make me so so so happy, thanks great Zero :good::)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ape187:
It took me long enough to adjust it right :), but in my opinion, it's perfect now. :victory:

Edit: I'm planning to purchase some Teufel Aureol Fidelity In-Ears in the near future (probably next month). When i get them, i will test them out and post my findings then.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MafiaManV:
Awesome stuff !! . Paired with Noozxoide app, we truly have a great combo on our XZ's :good: . Great job here "ZeroInfinity" :

To get the best results ,you really need to have perfect fit on your headphones. I could never find perfect ear buds for my ears and Sennheisers. I really tried 10+ different sets, but found them yesterday , when i tried the largest sony buds that came with phone . They give really tight fit around headphone,and nice feel in my ears .Really happy about it right now :)

Re: [SOUNDMOD] PureXAudio v4.0 [18/03/2013]

It's so difficult to set the numbers. The graph is small and the numbers are smaller lol. Managed to set most correctly except - 0.2. I can't even see what number it is without removing my finger. If only there was a way to manually input the data instead of using the graph.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ape187:
Yeah, that would be awesome. I had my problems with it too, but managed it somehow.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
For those who want my specific audio equalizer settings, I will be putting a modded Sound Enhancement app (same as walkman but with some slight adjustments) and 2 new audio effect:

PureXPsychoRealism - Experience realistic audio, rich deep bass and realistic acoustics. Best acoustics and bass you will ever hear.

PureXHiClarity - Listen to Clarity like never before, from Ultra high frequencies to crystal clear vocals. This is clarity at it's best.

oh and 48 bit integer audio processing, slightly higher headphone volumes again (I made it work another way by editing some core audio files) and some more goodies! :D

v5.0 will be the best version yet :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ape187:
Brilliant, can't wait! It would be really awesome to use the Sound Encancemend app system wide (like games or youtube) and not only on sony apps, but I guess that's not possible atm. I hope, it will be possible in the future.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah, too bad it's not like the HTC's Sound enhancer :p but at least it's something :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Ape187:
Yup, you're right. But i have the hope, that it's gonna be system wide in the future. Be it as update from Sony (unlikely) or as a hack (more likely).
[Xperia Z Android Development] ethan3686:
hope bluetooth is also fixed in Version 5...btw when can we expect 5? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
lol bluetooth was fixed aggeessss ago!!! haven't you seen that bluetooth audio fix??

I'm not adding it into the mod just to sacrifice 192kHz and 48 bit audio for you bt users...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Supersaiyan.IV:
ZeroInfinity, the way v4 is right now it's way too loud, can you make it possible to adjust the volume with more precision than now?

Or make settings like:

- Minimum distortion

- Maximum volume

Thanks for a great sound mod by the way! :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
wayy too loud? xD I agree but a bunch of people will keep on complaining that the audio is STILL to low lol...

I will provide a seperate addon to prevent lesss distortion by decreasing max volume (I warned everyone about this already)

I'll release this when I release v5.0 which will be available in a day or two :)

EDIT: Guys, v5.0 is the last update to increase volume in headphones, this is because the "hissing" background noise is already present and noticeable now... due to the voltage being higher to "amplify" the audio to higher volumes...

But you will be pleased to hear, v5.0 will make your audio vibrate your earphones/headphones by a lot! which makes audio feel alive :D (Instruments feel pushed to the side for maximum vibration xD) no idea how I produced this effect but it's awesome!
[Xperia Z Android Development] MafiaManV:
lol, great stuff coming i see :) . One question ..I need BT for my car sometimes, so when i flash BT fix, what's the procedure to return to 192khz..? Will reflashing purexaudio.zip do it, or should i restore my nand backup :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] shaoran_ojo:
Re-flash work just fine.
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
does this mod increase the maximum volume of the lateral speakers?...for example for the ringtones?

No. Only headphones

sorry for the repetition. can you do anything for the side speaker volume?

i have another mod audio...can i flash this without problem?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Milaann57:
And when you already have v4, can you just flash v5 over it when it comes out?
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
I use it on my sony xperia z odexed rom 10.1.A.1.434 and so far so good :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Nopes it wasn't for me, see attachment

It could be, because it worked for me.

I changed the permissions to 666 then did what Zero said earlier (read below)

After that I had to change the permissions again to 666 and rebooted the phone, now it stays at the selected preset (HiClarity for me)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Anybody who want the volumeboost mod just pm me one time will do. Don't need to pm me so many times. I will get back to you once I had read your pm cos I need to work and must wait for me to reach home then I can get back to you all except one person which I will not give ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Even with Windows X suggestions in using his scripts to stop skipping, it only reduced them :(

I'll be going on PowerAmp for a few days until I have a solution to stop skipping once and for all...

Hopefully no audio glitches with PowerAmp this time :p when I had my One X, I had some audio glitches that made weird noises at full volume which nearly made me go deaf :p

I might also make PureXaudio presets available in PowerAmp in v15 :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] julianalexander:
i also have this volume boost+.apk.. but im not using it.. seems for me nothing changes in the sounds..

[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
I don't have skipping problems in my phone running my own ROM for daily use even during screen off running screenstate to set CPU at lowest possible. I may get it once or twice just after phone boots up but overall is fine afterwards. I think it's kinda extreme configuration that needs good care of OS optimizations.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
If you guys can't wait for v15 to come out (we still don't have a proper solution to stop all skipping) I suggest you to use a 3rd party app which can modify the audio buffer + audio thread priority (I now use Poweramp)

My PowerAmp settings are: Audio Buffer = Huge (750ms) Audio Thread Priority = Highest (+2 is fine however) (Optional: set read ahead to 128) (Source: http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/3335-audio-skips-in-jelly-bean/?p=16649)

These settings stopped me from getting audio skipping once and for all! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tommybrrr:
FYI: Neutron player +v14 has no skipping for me when using the default JNI audio driver.
[Xperia Z Android Development] race4life:
has the boot looping issue been resolved. I have tried it twice both times had to reflash XperiaRevolution KA07. should i wait for v15?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
WTF there is no Britpop issue at all with this mod... I don't know how you install it but most people are fine.

Swiped from my epic XPERIA Z C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] sea2605:
Well, I have the same issue. Flashed it with latest cwm, like always. Result: bootloops.

As I said: v12 and v13 had no such issue. Root version (binary v30) is still the same, kernelversion (doomkernel v6) is still the same, still cwm 6.0.3, still on stock fw .434, ... Ergo: something vital changed in v14.

A blind guess:

Maybe some sort of "speaker-protection" kicks in?
[Xperia Z Android Development] brutal_noise:
It works with freshly installed ka07 and doomkernel v6. I've reinstalled ka rom after playing with CM. An hour or so after that I saw there was v14 of my favourite audio mod and installed it with NO problems at all.

P.S. Great work Zero ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I still don't understand, no one except from you two have this problem...

use TWRP and see if that makes a difference, if it doesn't flash stock firmware again to restore completely to stock (Wiping data, cache and appslog too), then restore root/recovery and reinstall this mod.

There isn't a problem with 99% of users here...
[Xperia Z Android Development] brockyneo:
Anyone as I'm deciding which one to have and love my music lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] sdhanush1:
The one on the note 2 is better... If I'm not wrong it has a Wolfson Dac
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
AT LAST! I have FINALLY fixed skipping ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!

Whilst experimenting with Windows X's Fidelity tweaks, I finally got the audio skipping to go away! (Only like 1 occured during my testing with a flac song)

Will release v15 with these tweaks if Windows X don't mind ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] brockyneo:
Ah right silo I assume through headphones the note 2 will be louder
[Xperia Z Android Development] julianalexander:
yeah!.. i think dont encountered skipping coz my songs are mp3 formats.. i dont have any flac files.. but :good:its good to recieve an update!.. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
It's best not to give an ETA this time, before people will act like ******** once again^^
[Xperia Z Android Development] Supersaiyan.IV:
To those with bootloops, have you tried a DoomKernel without the Alsa tweaks?

Running on DoomKernel v03 here and although I don't have the latest features I do have GPU overclocking which is v03 specific.

So period size was the answer to counter skipping after all?

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Nope, Fidelity init.d scripts finally worked after extensive use of them ;)

So Windows x's tweaks n I/o optimizations reduced the skipping by a lot so I only have a tiny few hiccups now :D

Swiped from my epic XPERIA Z C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Maybe is the custom rom that is causing the bootloop. I use it on my stock rom 10.1.A.1.434 and everything is working just fine :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] anirudhks:
Guess yes , it modifies init.d thats the reason , I had a boot loop too on KARom
[Xperia Z Android Development] soncarl:
Can someone please provide download link of version 12? Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Be specific please... v12 has 3 versions: 44.1/16, 48/16 and 96/24
[Xperia Z Android Development] sipe1:
I have problem with volume. Lets say that I listen music with low volume and I want to.increase it. I start increasing but it wont increase. Volume rocker is moving and sudden it skips few steps and become loud. V14.

Any ideas how to fix it? Volume in earphones isnt followong rocker increase
[Xperia Z Android Development] race4life:
Still the same bootloops. Stock Rom rooted

Still have the same bootloop with the stock rom rooted of course. Also the phone becomes really hot.. i mean really really hot after the update.I think i will wait v15/16 to see if this re-occurs. Its a pity cos I really liked the volume in the couple of mins before reboot occurs. :)

Great work anyway. Looking forward to more stable releases
[Xperia Z Android Development] sea2605:
+1

And withmy volume problem. When Ipress volume and with finger.change volume it does not change. I have few times to choose different sounds levels to.stick
[Xperia Z Android Development] ilamaan:
is there any chance this will work on a nexus 4 since it also have APQ8064 chip? anybody who have tested also?
[Xperia Z Android Development] unloadefy:
I had android upgrading and call receiving problems for v13, but v14 works perfectly fine! thanks so much!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Mine changes volume just fine in my rom.

Please read back a few pages for audio skipping, it is a VERY well known issue in v14.

I still don't know how you guys get bootloops, 99% of the users here install just fine without problems

Well, if WOULD help if you told me what rom you are on :rolleyes:

Not sure, I can't port it for you because I don't have anymore time to do ports.

Even if you were to install v14, you won't get Xperia specific features like PureXAudio presets in Walkman sound enhancements.

If you get bugs i cannot give you support as i do not have the phone

Guys, if you cannot give out more specific info like what rom you are on, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO FIX THEM?! :mad:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ilamaan:
okey, so is there a chance of breaking anything on the hardware side by using this on my n4?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
not at all ;)

if you do get errors, they will mostly be on the software side ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
v14 with volumeboost rock :good:

[Xperia Z Android Development] wawyed:
Is it safe to play music at max volume with this mod? on the loudspeaker? or do I need to patch stock volumes?
[Xperia Z Android Development] julianalexander:
+1.. downloading!.. :laugh:

edit: wait.. interupted by low conection.. sucks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
you should know by now what is safe and not safe.

On the loudspeaker, i consider it safe. It won't damage the speakers but it could distort at high volumes, I cannot do anything about that.

If you are worried about the speaker being damaged or scared that the volume might distort at high volumes, I recommend you sticking with stock volume patch :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] wawyed:
Sorry, it's my first time flashing this mod :)

How did you get a bootloop? it installs just fine for me...

would also be very helpful if you told me what rom you are on...

more battery drain than v14?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I can't really tell, but it's not like it's loosing 1% every minute! :p

battery drain may be very, very slightly higher than before but i don't think you'll notice that much ;)

besides, if you really wanted good audio quality, battery life needs to be sacrificed (Not a lot though)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No point lol, the headphones volume are at 92 and stock is 100

Reason why I lowered it was to prevent audio clipping and some distortion

The headphone volume is lower than stock, did you guys not know that?

Try flashing stock firmware again and flash everything all over again

Try listening to music, if it doesn't sound normal then there could be something wrong with your speakers
