Moving on to CM goodness. Adios till Zero decides to work on an audio mod for CM, if ever :D

Have fun guys!
[Xperia Z Android Development] nazrin313:
Yeap, im on v11 too i think for me, its the best version out of the lot, distortions can be avoided by lowering the volume to 70%

Reasons why i like it? It sounds richer and have more details than the newer versions
[Xperia Z Android Development] mafiarock93:
please please please give us link to download v14,i refresh every 10' to see the link,the changelog look promising ^^

See ya mate. I doubt I'll be doing anything to AOSP roms soon, too bad I'm stuck on locked bootloader permanently...

GOD so many people who cannot wait.

Just because I set the ETA on that day doesn't mean I'm gonna release it at exactly 0:00 06/05/2013! I'm not even awake yet!!!

BE PATIENT, stop asking for v14 or else I will delay it.

THE REASON WHY ~THERE IS NO LINK FOR V14 YET IS BECAUSE IT IS NOT RELEASED YET!!!

Forgive. Simply on the first page it is visually visible version 14. Therefore also all see, and can't download, here all fuss. Let's wait certainly for new releases. Thank you.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
That's ok man

I have updated WCD9310's firmware (I got from N4 Mako) and this is just epic! I cannot hear as much distortions as before on my crappy mp3 files (Yup, still listen to some :p)

v14 will be out in about 1 or 2 hours, just testing for any issues now :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Feodorus 4PDA:
Well, we wait what too to make tests and responses. Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] wawyed:
Tbh you are asking for that, you update the main post saying there is a new version but then you don't post it, why not just update it when you release it, just to generate expectation? And increase the number of reads in the post!?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
If people used their common sense, no download link = not release yet :rolleyes:

Also another thing, there is a reason why I left v13 in the OP... when v14 is out I will then replace v13....

Rather than constantly asking, people should be patient until the download link has released

As always, when the link is out, I always post again to confirm that a new version is out.

I'm also using v11 and I feel this is the best version of them all :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v14 is finally out guys!

Enjoy :D

EDIT: one thing to remember, The headphone volume has been decreased back to stock values, this is due to prevent audio clipping and distortions. Don't ask me to increase the volume for headphones anymore as I want to keep audio quality over volume.

The speaker audio is still nice with xloud on :) just decreased a few values lower (not much) to prevent distortion.

In call volumes are still loud as always ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Bravooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

this v14 is very nice and perfect!! :good::good:

thanks Zero :)

Ps. i flashed v14 on v12.. i havent S-FORCE Front Surround 3D in the menù setting, its correct?where is?

thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] Andrewtst:
v14 Loud Speaker is much better, seems no more distortion. Ear piece wise, sound nicer than before, completely no distortion, just... hmmm... now most album I need open 100% volume.... I know you mention no more increase, but I still hoping you can increase it a bit.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
you need to add this line at the end of your build.prop

ro.somc.sforce.supported=true

save it and set permissions rw- r-- r-- (chmod 644)

reboot and S-Force should come up for you

I forgot to add this to v14 xD oh well, you can always follow the instructions on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2247324 to enable S-Force

It's as high as it can go with no audio clipping. Increasing to even 1 more value will cause some audio clipping.

The stock volume should not be that bad :p My normal/optimal volume is like 2-3 steps below the maximum volume (On my headphones)
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
:good:

Thanks

Ps. Sorry i finished my dayli thanks ;(
[Xperia Z Android Development] Andrewtst:
O... get it. This v14 sound nice, I had refuse back to previous v12 also. haha!

Actually in previous v12 or v11, I don't think I had clipping issue also, I never open full volume before for that 2 version.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Back to v12, re-test again, hehe. v14 sound a bit soft, now I at such silent place need full volume, in noisy area, I think I no need to listen to anything already.

Edit 2: Ok, back to v14, it is far better than v12 in overall. Well done! :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] mafiarock93:
Wow sound quality in v14 is perfect, the sound is softer than previous version, thanks so much for bring this to our device

Is there another version of v14,right?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I discarded 8x Oversampling, 128x 64Bit Floating point is the real deal ;)

So only 1 version :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Andrewtst:
Actually just before when I try out again v12 in full volume, I notice the clipping near the song end.

Too bad cannot increase 1 step at all.

I am satisfied with v14 now, it sound far better, much smooth, just volume if one step up will be great. But since one step up clipping, then seems no choice.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Zero now you have release "THE PERFECTION" :) Bravo Genius :good:

Please, can you try to create a mod for increase up the volume of ringtone/notification, system ui and in call for PA rom?

Please :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Android Development] vibecatalin:
OMG That is Loud :). Thanks , very good MOD, indispensable in my opinion.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kylez:
i want to ask...in equalizer setting previously there are PureXBeats, PureXHiClarity, and PureXPsychoRealism...but now after i've installed v14...now it appear as custom, user-defined 1, and user-defined 2...how to fix that?....my previous version is v12...i'm using ZL...sound is much better now :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] JasonX199:
I literally bought the Xperia Z because of this mod. I had ordered it a week ago, I'm waiting for it being delivered today now :o
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Are you using another language? it's normal to appear like that for another language

The equalizer should come up with those names only in English (I don't have time to put the names on all of those languages)

Doesn't really matter though, at least the settings for presets are in there ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kylez:
i'm using English(UK)...but it doesn't really matter as you say :p...thanks for this mod...i really like it
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Weird I'm also using English UK and those names appear for me hahaha!

oh well, they are just names, you can still hear/use the settings however :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] bouod:
thanks mr. Z

v14 is masterpiece

please update the ZIP with line needed in build.prop

for future installation
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
the line for S-Force? yeah I'll include it in future version :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Supersaiyan.IV:
Just flashed v14 and the difference is like day & night. I'm definitely going to look for where you did the 128x oversampling tweak in the mod.

The sound is organic and well-defined. A big thanks ZeroInfinity!

EDIT: The only thing that prevents this MOD from competing with Voodoo Sound is the ability to bring forth sub-bass. At the moment only mid-bass can be increased (according to my own comparison with Wolfson chip + Voodoo Sound).

That said, v14 is awesome.

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
aha I remember you said a long time ago that you said we will get there in the end for getting 128x Oversampling to work ;)

but I have few XZ's around me and too lazy to edit build.prop to all of them one by one:p

but like I said, we can't ask you more

thanks for everything:o
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
First of all, congrats for v14. I hope 5.6MHz doesn't explode you guys' ears there. :)

I have few suggestions to make here. At first I thought ZeroInfinity already inspected how I implemented in FidelityXAudio so I didn't comment before v14 release but you should use little endian as default CPU endian. Using big endian with not have endian arrangement working natively. I won't go as far as that affecting sound quality but using little endian will give you less work and more direct path.

Also, I improved asound configuration in my new ROM release using only single virtual sound card slaving to all others. I could say that improves sound quality significantly and better design for devices to work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
haha thanks for the suggestion :p

To be honest I was kinda puzzled about this endian thing but thanks for explaining :D

Will add your suggestions in v15 :)

I use poweramp, with its direct volume control turned off, poweramp eq and tone off, only musicfx turned on. I've increased its audio buffer size (in advanced tweaks in poweramp). All the benefits of poweramp and PureXAudio, with no skipping for me (ogg files stored on microsd card). Also, better gapless :)

[Xperia Z Android Development] diego9016:
I'm doing that but when I select one of the two eq presets, nothing happens, the eq stays flat
[Xperia Z Android Development] e7t3:
Yes, was same for me. I assumed (not sure if I'm right...) that each app remembers its own settings. I just went through each level to make it match walkman settings.
[Xperia Z Android Development] julianalexander:
AOSP=Android Open Source Project.... Sony release files for other developer wants to add files or tweaks.or to MOD it.. if you can join the project then u can make a scripts to add to it.. like the Z`s kernel or FW.. you can make ur own Z Rom by using all scripts in AOSP..

you can read this http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...r-xperia-z-on-sonys-github-open-source-video/

i hope i shared what i know about AOSP...
[Xperia Z Android Development] tomgus1:
Yes, this seems to be a common issue. Each time I have flashed a new ROM and then flashed PureXAudio I have had to reconfigure the settings for the EQ done by ZeroInfinity. Just do as above stated.
[Xperia Z Android Development] doki81:
how about reflash the mod again and then wipe cache wipe dalvik?
[Xperia Z Android Development] tomgus1:
Hasn't fixed it for me, I don't mind going through fixing the presets though :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Will fix ASAP, I hate skipping :p it annoys me when I listen to music

Right, so that buffer size is to blame (as I suspected it to be very small in v14), I'll try and fix it ASAP :)

EDIT: Buffer size + period size is TINY in v14!

Just checked this:

Will release v14.5 ASAP probably today :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] diego9016:
Is there something you can do to keep eq settings in poweramp?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No idea

I don't support 3rd party audio apps, sorry...

EDIT: Buffer size I will only slightly increase because I don't want to increase latency but period size will have to go way up. Period size (Quoted from ALSA page http://alsa.opensrc.org/Period) will affect how much work the CPU does. if you set the period size low, there will be more interrupts and the work that is done every interrupt will be done more often.

EDIT2: Gonna have to sacrifice latency for no audio skipping guys.... I have to really increase the period size and buffer size to eliminate skipping (Even slightly increasing makes skipping but less)

EDIT3: Looks like buffer size had to be 2* the period size, if it's not skipping will occur... I currently have period = 2048 buffer = 4096 and I only had 1 skip occur in a whole flac song. I will now increase to period = 3072 buffer = 6144 and see if it is now gone! :D

EDIT 4: fail, it keeps on skipping again... I'm gonna keep on experimenting on how big the buffer/period has to be in order to stop skipping
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Skipping caused by I/O scheduler not being able to handle high traffic low latency load with high CPU and I/O usage. In my ROM, I also optimize OS for lower latency and higher audio performance so no one complains there.
[Xperia Z Android Development] tommybrrr:
Could be caused by the hotplug cpu driver... Try it with mpdecision off (trickster mod kernel settings)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
It's also a pity that you haven't found a/the solution yet for the eq that keeps resetting itself to PsychoRealism after you rebooted your phone.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
oh right, will try and see if your init.d script will get rid of this problem ;)

I have found a solution ages ago :p

1) go to settings > apps > all apps and find PureXAudio Engine

2) Erase data in the app

3) flash the mod again

4) Hopefully the presets wont stick to psychorealism anymore :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] lyndonguti:
I agree with this zero ..in my old s2 we had got a hybrid kernel dorimanx kernel...we also had a looping happening in some song he sorted it out by mixing some differnt hotplog combo and scheduler even mixing and changing some governors is helping...but it really diffrent in every kind of phone...

[Xperia Z Android Development] ethan3686:
OK GUYS

Wanna share something IMPORTANT..This is for those who love loudness and bass..if its been already done here lemme know..

I want more volume on my headphones and beats more than anything..So as u have figured V11 is the best for that..Only problem is that it distorts/clips at the highest volume. So what you do is lower the volume by 1 bar [or just hit lower volume button once] and then use any app with built in pre-amp like JET AUDIO or GoneMad etc.. and increase the amp in equalizer settings..Other bands can be done acc to ur own tastes..Believe me it sounds great and loud! Just dont take it too up and keep the volume of system just one bar less and there will be no clipping or distortions.

Hope i helped and thank the almighty ZeroInfinity for this amazing mod :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Hmm didn't work for me, tried it twice.

It's not really a problem at the moment, we shouldn't become too lazy that we can't just change 1 setting.
[Xperia Z Android Development] sea2605:
i dont want to panic but I need to warn you:

DO NOT FLASH V14 BEFORE READING THIS, CAUSE I LOST A LOT OF TIME A

I testet it twice:

after installing v14 (the emmc/internal storage isnt mountable anylonger and) you infinitly get a bootloop. You cant even open a single app until it restarts. You can only get out of bootloop by booting in the other recovery (not cwm) and choosing shutdown,... I tested wiping all data, only delvic cache, only format emmc (not possible due to: not mountable),...Basically everything the recoveries offer.

I had to flash the original .434-rom back with flashboot on my computer... All apps, their settings, my individual tweaks,... All is lost and I need to do it all over again... My bad I had no complete backup :(

So -as everything was already lost- for testing if its really a v14 issue, I did following:

Flashed rom, flashed doomkernel v6 (which includes cwm 6.0.3 recovery and the other recovery) right after, I didnt do/configure or install anything, I only flashed v14 and again: bootloops...

So definitely v14 is the culprit (maybe only in combination with doomkernel).

BE CAREFUL! MAKE A BIG BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING V14.

Ps: with v12 and v13 I had no such issues.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Some Z phones using conventional root methods got bootloops after mounting system rw, mine as well. As for most promising solution, flash my ROM. It has best root included without bootloops trouble and comes with best PureXAudio mods. :)
