To those having bootloops did you install any soundmod from play store example bass booster.

I used to have bootloops after I install bass booster from play store but after I uninstall it and everything is back to normal.

My sony xperia z is also odex stock rom 10.1.A.1.434 firmware 4.1.2. lol and everything is working fine for me.

Hope this help :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
V14 was excellent, clear sound, good bass, everything is quite good.

V15 isn't good in my opinion, the bass just seems gone or very quiet, I don't really like v15.

Anyway, keep up the good work mate :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
It's probably clearaudio I put back form ice firmware which made bass low, I'll remove it again in next version ;)

Use purexpsychorealism for extra bass and clarity :D

[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
Possibly, my setup is the same as with v14, v14 had nice clarity and bass with my dance music, in 15 it misses the bass :p the voices etc are clear :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
To me v11 is the best of them all :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] julianalexander:
[MENTION=219080]zero[/MENTION] i think i agree with krab. it misses the bass in v15. i assume that there is still the "beats from v12.. as im using beats tour.. you know this is my only lifeline from musics,as my speakers are blown out.. ;) as i asked u from my earlier question that if its still have a good bass,u say its me to find out.. and this is it.. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Beats headphones/earphones already have the muddy sound with a lot of bass (That's why i made PureXBeats to stop that muddy sound)

Personally, the bass is fine for my MDR1-RNC headphones but I will bring back the bass in v16 :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] julianalexander:
i really apreciate ur effort man.. i turned purexpsychorealism for extra bass,its ok and clarity.. as my tour its earbuds so very compact in my ear.. when my beats PRO its soft.. as uve said ull bring it back for next update.. then patiently wait for the next update..:good::good:

(i hate my speakers now coz that F**king zzzzzzzzzzz bee sound)
[Xperia Z Android Development] doki81:
i just installed the v15 over my RomAur 2.3 with DoomKernel v6 and i am having occasionally track skipping/pausing issue. using walkman...previously dont encounter such issue.
[Xperia Z Android Development] race4life:
Regarding boot loops.

I am on a stock UK .434 ROM obviously rooted of course with black nav bar and status bar mod and nothing else. I dont have any sound mod apps from Google Play. I just tried it again after factory reset but still no go. I will wait for the next version before I try again

Also the volume with my bluetooth (MDR-1RBT) is better without the volume mod but obviously the phone speaker and earpiece were much better with the PureXAudio mod. Heres hoping I will have better luck with v16
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
I use back v11 cos I feel it's still the loudest among all other version ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION]: right now I'm listening with my headphone instead of earphones and bass is good :) weird, my Sennheiser earphones normally have good bass :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] Fishmanzero:
Can I use this on Tablet Z?

Interested.
[Xperia Z Android Development] philje123:
Also tried v15 on a custom locked bl rom.

Got boot loops again and now CWM won't work so going to have to fully restore the phone when I get home later.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
I guess it's because Zero is using headphones instead of earphones, so the values are set based on headphone settings. If you had a pair of earphones Zero you might want to check how the quality is compared to using headphones.:good:

Those replies only decrease the value of this topic, what's the point in saying such things?
[Xperia Z Android Development] fards:
noticed an issue with v14 and 15 (had a play with them the last couple of days)

it's not switching from jack back to earpiece after playing, so can't hear anyone in calls.

needs a reboot to correct it, I suspect one of the changed libs is causing an issue with routing.

when I get a chance I'll grab some logs, but I think I'll uninstall this and see if I can piece it together a bit at a time to see what's going wrong.

I didn't remove 14 before 15, so not sure if it's something in that 14 that's left over and causing issues.
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
What to do now? I got bootloops after v15 update. reverted back to v14 still have the bootloops
[Xperia Z Android Development] julianalexander:
Flash back to stock..

[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
I just point out my point of view. I don't see there is anything wrong with it dude :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
What root method did you guys use btw? When I want to R/w something in my root my phone reboots itself. I guess that this was also the problem when I updated to v15

I had 434 now resetting using SUS
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
v26 so far so good no problem
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
Don't update to v15, it causes bootloops... This is my second time now. Where can I find v14 btw?
[Xperia Z Android Development] beni8978:
It is the loudest.But not the best sounding.It has distortions that you can't hear.So better don't talk.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
For those who get bootloop with v15

I think the problem is that you downgrade from a higher version to lower version many times and repeat that action to test the difference between those mod. That could make bootloop by mixing these mods. My XZ also got bootloop when downgrade from v14 to v11 and update to v15.

The solution is just flash back to stock rom and flash v15.
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
You're wrong, I bought the Xperia Z few days ago and I went directly to v14 which worked fine and after update to v15 it gave me bootloops. So, I did not revert with the versions.. After a clean and fresh rom I went directly to v15 which also gave me bootloops....
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
I flashed back to stock 434 rom, then I flash v15, everything's ok. So confused :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
I did the same too, very weird indeed
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I don't see why not

Rooted using binary's method

Headphones generally have louder bass than earphones due to bigger drivers

I am on my own locked bootloader custom ROM and I don't have any problems at all

Swiped from my epic XPERIA Z C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
I also used latest bin4ry's method, I'm also not the only one having bootloops with v15 btw.. Can you upload v14 for me so I can download that one?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Can't give you a link on the phone but go to my dev-host account by clicking on my name when on the v15 link to see my files

v14 works like a charm, I guess I'll stick to v14 for a looong time haha

[Xperia Z Android Development] swrajjoshi:
I love your work zeroinfinity :good: The mod works like a charm and my XZ sounds awesome!

I am using v14 but since I started using v11, the speaker volume during call is poor. I have read through good part of this thread but couldn't figure out if speaker volume during the call was supposed to improve or not.

I recently got hurt on my elbow which makes holding phone up to my ears difficult. The speaker phone option would be helpful. :fingers-crossed:

Keep up the amazing work!:D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah I did increase in call speaker volume before but increasing it even more will cause a lot of distortion you see... That is why I have decreased the volume now :)

Even if it is pretty quiet, you should at least hear what the other person is saying with in call speaker volume on max :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] swrajjoshi:
I have tried the calls over speaker few times. Unfortunately, the speaker volume is not loud enough. Is there a way I can check if there's no problem with my settings? Additional details from my phone-

* XZ - .434 stock with PureXAudio v14.

* Sound config in Settings - ClearPhase OFF, xLoud OFF

* Walkman config - ClearAudio+ OFF

* Walkman settings PureXAudio Engine - Equilizer - PureXHiClarity, Surround Sound OFF, Clear Stereo ON, PureXHifi OFF, PureXInteneseblast off, S-Force OFF, PureXDynamics OFF

When I was testing my speaker phone vs. the media player, I noticed that songs from PowerAMP/Walkman played really well :D and loud but for speaker phone it was very low. Almost like it is not using the same speakers.:(
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Why did you turn off xLOUD and clear phase??

The is your problem, speaker isn't boosted because you turned those two off

XLOUD boosts speaker volume significantly

Clear phase boosts your speaker quality significantly

Swiped from my epic XPERIA Z C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] swrajjoshi:
I turned xLoud and Clear phase off yesterday while testing my speaker phone. I can't see any difference in speaker phone volume with these settings. :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] zesteph:
need help :(

i install v15 on my xperia z stock with cwm and same youtube instruction.

And no my Z bootloop all time

PC companion can see him

HELP PLEASE
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Don't use stock rom, I currently don't support it.

Everyone on stock roms tend to get bootloops with this mod and my only solution to this is to move onto a custom rom (If you have rooted, you will most likely move onto custom roms as they are faster and have more features)

I might look into this LATER but not now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] zesteph:
ok zeroinfinity :(

snif poor xperia Z with stock rom

Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
If I update to the new firmware 253, will I loose this audio mod? And will I be able to reinstall it on the new fw?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You loose all custom mods when you flash stock firmwares

And yes, as long as you have a custom recovery then you can flash it

Swiped from my epic XPERIA Z C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
Hmm, I heard the new fw is not rootable yet. The only reason I bought this phone is because of this mod. I think I'll wait with the new update although I did not even get the update yet.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jimmy-bish:
You should really update NOTE 2 in the first post with that information. I'm about to restore from a boot loop as well because I read all of the first post, flashed, then had to search why my phone wasn't booting. Page 150 will be buried before too long and people won't see it. I understand "all Xperia Firmware-Based ROMs" to include stock roms.​
[Xperia Z Android Development] ogdobber:
Hey ZeroInfinity thank you so much for this mod, this was the deciding factor that swayed me to keep the Z and sell my ONE.

I am on a stock deodexed rom running v14.

Only one issue, maybe v15 addresses this, but if I am listening to music, get a call but reject, I lose xloud when the music starts again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah I will when I get back ;)

Strange, I haven't had this issue before...

Swiped from my epic XPERIA Z C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
I've only been using stock rom and I've never had any problems, even now with version .253.

Though I do have an unlocked BL and I use Dooms kernel, beside that everything else is stock.

v15 doesn't work with Odex 434 rom. Crashes on boot animation :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] Pietroni:
Hi,

Is it possible to create a way for the saving equalizer on spotify? It resets after every song ;)

The mod is awesome but are hoping for even more bass if it's possible. Wanna blow my beats by dre up!

Thanx pro!

-Stonecrusher
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No more bass. I don't want muddy sound Beats By Dr Dre headphones make :p that's why I made PureXBeats, to decrease bass and get rid of muddy sound replacing it with clear highs and lows

More bass means less highs and lows and that doesn't sound good. Use PureXPsychoRealism to get good bass whilst keeping clarity on the highs and lows. (My personal favorite for my Sony MDR1-RNC Headphones)

Isn't Beats By Dr Dre headphones' bass loud enough for ya? My UrBeats produce so much bass that I don't even need any bass boosters to listen to them (I rarely use them now)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
v15 works perfectly with my MDR-XB600, no more skipping. :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Pietroni:
The mod is awesome! Think im just going to replace them. After 6months of constantly being used are they getting a bit sweat and cheesy, haha!

But thanks anyway, Bro!

Gonna go to a Bose factory store this summer when om going to NY, hoping for a jackpot!

I update my firmware to 10.1.1.A.1.253 , soundmod doesnot work. wat to do now. please tell me how to root again and how to install cwm recovery
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Firstly, NEVER, EVER QUOTE THE DAMN OP!

Secondly, What do you think this is? Tell you how to root? mate, I believe this is a soundmod thread NOT a "How to Root" guide....

Anyways, unable to root has nothing to do with me at all so ask elsewhere...

[Xperia Z Android Development] pekvocey:
I used the old firmware .350 with Telstra branded, rooted with CWM Recovery

I installed v15 and got the bootloops, I flashed back to the stock patch, still got bootloops ===> can't use phone...

I read some posts, then installed v14, still got the bootloops.

Is it because of my old firmware? and this mod is only compatible with .434. Now I can't use phone, should I flash the new firmware?
[Xperia Z Android Development] okokies:
im suffering from that tooo

i hope you can fix it asap need my phone
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
If you can't use your phone that is YOUR OWN FAULT FOR NOT MAKING A BACKUP! (As clearly stated in the OP!)

I can't fix all your problems, read the OP first, you would of had a backup to restore right now if you had read the OP before installing the mod...
[Xperia Z Android Development] forest1971:
Zero: i guess the increase number bootloop report may have something to do with the script to optimize the rom to reduce audio skipping? If you think so too, howabout using another way to deal with skipping such as to reduce the oversampling rate? I have a suspicion that 128x could have been excessive? Btw, thanks for the great mode!
[Xperia Z Android Development] mmamedov:
It crashs after bootanimation. I thought it's because i had Odex rom, but now I have 253 deodex, and it doesn't work. I cleaned my phone before updating, so it was first mod that i used on this rom. v14 works fine
[Xperia Z Android Development] pekvocey:
Just try backup all data to the External SD card. Then try Sony Update Service for factory reset.

After that, try restore DATA only.

I did it, otherwise, no methods even though trying v11, v13, v14.... or flashing back to stock vol patch.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I am trying to keep 128x (I don't want to ruin the audio quality since this is the best I've ever achieved :p) If it is the scripts, I'm sure there is another way of making them work again :)

Oh FFS! STOP REPORTING OLD BUGS! I am already aware of it! no need to repeat it 100000000000000 times!!!

I am on .253 myself and also having problems with the mod, don't you think I'm already trying to fix it now???
[Xperia Z Android Development] ffh2303:
I'm happy to report that v14 works fine on my phone .[XZL , rooted odex .253]. No bootloops. At first I thought this mod doesn't work with PowerAmp but surprisingly it does. Made by RE-400 sound more awesome. Thanks.:good:

[MENTION=4576973]forest1971[/MENTION] I think you may be right about the init.d scripts, I'm currently flashing parts of the mod bit-by-bit and currently everything works (I have yet to try the libs though)

If the libraries work then I need to fix init.d support in the mod :)

Just one quick question before i proceed to flash this awesomeness :) Is loudspeaker working while in Call? since i am unable to see this in changelog.

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yes it should work as I am now using snd_msm_soc_x2_Fusion3 file from the new firmware (Which adds some things about in call speaker) so it should work like normal now :D
