IMO SRS/DTS Audio enhances the bass and sound-stage by a lot :p but it does however introduce a bit of artifacts and has a higher chance of distortion due to over-processing... :) (My MDR1-RNC headphones eliminate like 90% distortions and uses Digital Sound Enhancement Engine + S-Amplifier to enhance the audio even more! so those problems don't really affect me :D)

Besides those things, I love the effect :p

And yeah, I might as well keep it separate so that people can decide weather they want it or not :D

Will v20 remove walkman app from odexed phone?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ledionkoci:
Maybe you can do an all one zip and one without the mod:thumbup:.thank you anyway for your hard work
[Xperia Z Android Development] binhdb:
It is available for Android 2.3.6
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Read back a few pages, I'm just gonna remove Walkman from the zip.

Maybe I should waste all my time doing dts sound enhancement then LOL

If you are talking about the PureXAudioLITE then no idea. You are on a very outdated rom which I obviously do not support lol

ive installed the mod and it removed my walk man but either ways i was using power amp i have the full version ... enhancements can be sensed instantly in speakers but when i plug in the head phones i have beats solo HD every thing is alright and the volume is extremely loud and clear untill i enable MUSICFX i can see all the equaliser presets and juicy goodies but the volume throttles to extremely low levels once i try to enable MUSICFX it can barley be heard so every thing is here and the mod presets i available and i can switch and enable all of them but the problem is that i can barely hear any thing !!! ... i dont understand whats wrong here ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
It's the nature of power amp + it's crappy music fx integration. With DVC, it screws up the volume badly and it's not the mods fault.

You can get Walkman back by searching the thread for the solution, there is already a way to fix, you just have to find it.

I can't do anything about Power Amp, it's not my problem :)

i have no problem at all to switch back to walk man but i dont know how ive searched a lot but i didnt reach any thing ... i even tried to make a zip file that contains walkman which i extracted from my backup and it wouldnt flash through recovery .. if you can just target me towards the solution ill be very grateful ...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
You need to manually move and replace walkman apk in your system/app.

If new walkman doesn't work for you,try taking walkman apk out of the mod zip and manually replace walkman in your system /app

i made it work ...

i pushed the apk's into the zipped Mod instead of the new walkman files flashed it and now i have my walkman back ... thank you so much ...

My God i Feel like im in an Imax Cinema this is such a heavenly MOD :)

ive tried this method and it works like a charm with version 19 ... for all those who have walkman problems follow this tutorial closely ... im on Official stock 4.2.2 now, locked bootloader and flashed this tool and it DEODEXED the rom so the xperia ultra walkman and apps can work... version 19 now works like a charm .... and im enjoying the new walkman interface ... and this incredible Mod ...

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v20, the best update so far (IMO) :p

I will release 2 add-ons, SRS CircleSurround Headphone Audio Enhancement (CSHP) which enhances the bass to produce rich and deep low-frequency sound and with SRS's Dialog Enhancements, the voice is clearer and the other instruments actually feel like they are "pushed" to the side. DTS Audio (Formerly known as SRS) features WOWHD, SRS WideSurround, SRS TruBass, SRS TruEQ/MobileEQ and SRS TruMedia.

CSHP is for people who love realistic and deep bass with realistic acoustics.

DTS Audio is for people who love clarity and surround sound.

FYI, SRS joined with DTS Audio and now it is just called DTS Audio :)

Note that this is a "Generic" version of SRS/DTS Audio (Ported straight from ACER Liquid E2) which should be compatible to EVERYONE without the extra framework (unlike HTC devices).

Generic SRS/DTS like the one I am posting tomorrow is not as effective as HTC's SRS/DTS. HTC has "HTC-Core" version of SRS/DTS which is much more effective than the one in Acer Liquid E2, we cannot port this due to framework issues just like if you were porting HTC Beats Audio or HTC Camera. At least you get something with the mods I ported ;)

SRS/DTS is system-wide (Just like Acer Liquid E2) so it will work for anything. Equalizers and Extra surround sound effects by walkman is supported without any problems.

I will get everything up tomorrow :D

EDIT: SRS/DTS Audio are BOTH universal! so just flash on and see if you can hear any difference :D

The long awaited update is out!

P.S v20 does NOT restore Walkman if you have lost it in v19, you must recover that yourself by getting it from another rom.

You can just flash v20 over v19 without any problems ;)

Xperia Z/ZL users AND Universal users can install SRS/DTS Audio!

Can I install v20 from v.18 ? Im on stock 4.2.2 rom locked bootloader

Or I must install V19 first?

If I install v20 lost walkman app?

Enviado desde mi iPad con Tapatalk HD
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
you can just install v20.

And no, it won't get rid of your walkman app (Why the hell would it do that???). If you read the changelog properly, it says "Removed NEW Walkman app because people are getting FCs". that means I removed the New walkman app from the MOD (From v19) not the system... If I said removed walkman app from system, I would of put "Removed Walkman app from system" in changelog LOL

You installed v18 - v19 - v20 O.o? That's why you have bootloop. Read what ZeroInfinity said...
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
but v19 is not necessary though, all the changes are passed onto v20... so there is no need for v19 to install.

try it though [MENTION=5193024]Xagerado[/MENTION], make a backup of your walkman player (SemcMusic.apk if you are deodexed and SemcMusic.apk + SemcMusic.odex if you are odexed) then install v19 then v20 and see how that goes for ya
[Xperia Z Android Development] MinedSafe:
I have flashed v20. Comparing to v19 in my personal opinion, the sound is a bit to much laid back. Good bass response nice vocals but heights are to much laid back. Sounds similar to original rom. I have listened to some jazz, classical and vocal music thru walkman, using my own ripped CD to flack and WAV. Very smooth, and gentle. There is a big difference when turning clear audio while it was almost none with the V19.

I must say that loads of people will like it probably. I listen to music quite critically as I'm audiophile for many years and had some quite expensive speakers like magnepan and few tube amplifiers like audio note for example.

Whats good is I can't here that clicking noise any more when playing with XZ wearing headphones. I had that since I got the phone and now its gone.

I also had some problems connecting USB DAC over the USB OTG. Actually It was not working at all. I can't test it now as I have sold the DAC few days ago. This is more ROM related or audio drivers related. But if someone has Fiio DAC, please test is on V20.

I did my tests on Sennheiser HD-595 headphones. V19 was pairing good with them V20 will probably be better with some In Ear or bright headphones.

Can I flash v19 over the v20 ? I think I will go back to previous version if possible:)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No, stuff from v20 will still be there. In order to downgrade, you must wipe your system and then install v19.

Are you using any presets? because in PureXPsychoRealism, I did tone down the 6kHz frequency which produced really ear-aching noise if heard too loud. I do agree with you that highs are slightly toned down but that doesn't really affect much for my MDR1-RNC since it has DSEE :p

Reducing highs will take less chance of you guys impairing your hearing at very loud (maximum) volumes because then you will be less exposed to high frequencies...

Have you tried using DTS Audio? that kind of makes the highs better :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] MinedSafe:
Not using presets, eq. all flat, dynamic normalizer off, srs off. I only left stereo crosstalk.

Will flash dts and see how it works.

U mean factory reset?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I don't mean factory reset, I mean wipe your system partition and reinstall your current rom in order to get rid of those leftover files from v20.
[Xperia Z Android Development] MinedSafe:
I can hear up to 21khz so Its a bit annoying for me that lack of hights. But I do agree that you could damage u hearing, especialy young people. You see them walking with headphones all day long. It was a bit different when I was 18. Im using headphones mainly at night with volume at about 50% I dont like to use them to be honest but its the only time and way for me to listen to music as I have two small kids screaming and running all day long;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah, my advice for you is to increase the 6kHz and 16kHz frequencies in walkman sound enhancements until you are satisfied :)

It's probably the only way you can precisely improve on the highs :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] MinedSafe:
Ok I did flashed DTS pack. There is some improvement def. Looks like a compromise between v19 and v20. Its more enjoyable, responsive without some of that harshness in v19. I might stick with that till the next update:)

Thanks for all your work on this mod!

What I would like someone to test is the audio over the USB connecting DAc like Fiio e17 or similar ( nuforce icon mobile ) .
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
YEAH! I knew DTS audio would be the solution to your answer :D

I fine tuned SRS CSHP and DTS Audio to my specifications (and my taste :p)

DTS Audio's definition enhancement has been increased dramatically :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] MinedSafe:

1. if you already had other music mod inside the ROM

-->wipe cache and dalvic cache

-->wipe cache and dalvic cache

-->reboot

2. if you don't have any music mod

-->wipe cache and dalvic cache

-->falsh V20

-->wipe cache and dalvic cache

-->reboot

Just try it pal, the change is universal, you will find that the sound is sweet, warm, awesome...

don't need any other modification, the walkman effect (although we don't have that) is too much to me, IMO

But it's awesome how it works without even trying to make the mod universal :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] danw_oz:
I had first HTC phone with beats, so got the headphones bundled :).

Walkman app with custom EQ was much better than the HTC's with Beats.

Now with this mod the sound is incredible, the sound stage is very wide, no audio decoding artifacts, the clarity is amazing, I can now hear instruments and backing vocals that were previously lost on my other phones.

Thanks so much for your hard work and sharing of this amazing mod.

I did a quick search but couldn't find anything, so I am thinking that I had a problem during my install of version 5. Every phone restart or every morning my custom EQ's have gone and reset to PureXPsychoRealism, is this normal?

I appreciate your help.

I may discontinue on this, it give off a really bad distortion and the very loud noise will frighten you...

[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
Hi Zeroinfinity...io have Read that in v6.0 you increase The Side speaker's volume. Can this create any problem at The smartphone?

And what is the wakelock?

If i put The volume of The speaker Low The v6.0 get more battery drain too?...or only when i get maximum volume?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I have already listed all the problems in the OP...

If you don't want to continue with this, install v6.0 then stock volume patch but if you want volume, then you must get used to the problems.

it is IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of those problems, this is how DACs work, if you want louder audio volumes, DAC wont take it properly so more distortions in high volumes, hissing sounds in background and popping sounds after a sound has ended <--- (This is due to all vibrations to be stopped at once, since we have increased volume, this means more vibrations are there so it is easier to hear the pop sound after a sound has ended. It is most noticeable with headphones but it can be noticeable for speakers too, don't worry though, this pop sound does no harm to anything so it's totally normal)

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
At the end when DAC mutes it self, it stops all vibrations at once. The more the vibrations, a "POP" sound or some may call a "Crackle" sound appears after a few seconds of music being stopped. This may/may not be noticeable but if it is noticeable, it's totally normal and there is nothing to worry about :) just some users might find that annoying :p

Please dont increase anymore >.<
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Of course! I will never plan on taking the volume to the next level, this will be the MAX :)

When I first tested, I accidentally put a high value on one of the configs and my speakers went distorted like hell and nearly popped xD
