NOTE 8: I advise everyone to go onto XZDualRecovery as it's the only recovery (As I am aware of) which has native init.d installed directly in it's ramdisk just so you can use the init.d scripts in my mod. (Only applies to locked bootloaders)

v16:

-Improved PureXHiClarity

-Removed S-FORCE (To prevent bootloops on odexed roms)

-Reconfigured asound.conf

-Fixed bootloop issues

-removed init.d support as you can use XZDualRecovery for ramdisk with init.d (Which was causing the bootloops)

i'm kinda confused now... so do we need to flash XZDualRecovery? or is it something for locked BL only? and u removed init.d support so custom kernels can't support this already?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
If you look at doomkernel, it already supports Init.d :rolleyes:

So obviously it's for locked bootloaders as unlocked bootloaders already have custom kernel

edit: - ignore the below, appears nothing to do with soundmod-

i have v16, but i suffering from battery drain.

Have downloaded GSam battery monitor and have "Media" consuming up to 30+%

Wakelock detail is "MediaScannerService"

It includes packages such as "Download Manager" "Media Storage" "Downloads"

Includes processes such as "*wakelock*" "com.sonymobile.storagechecker" "android.process.media"

My SD card is ok. Have formatted the card.

Have the phone running on v16 with heavy battery drain, flash back the stock volume zip file & everything returns to normal.
[Xperia Z Android Development] philipsim@live.com:
I still have the s force option in the v16? No bootloops though, when I enable it it will have effect as well.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Agreed me too, will try to fix in next uodate

Sigh... read backk a page

Hi Zero, meaning you also suffering from battery drain by Media Server etc for v16?

I read back and found out i'm the only one.

It is massive battery drain, probably 1% every 1 min or so.

Flash back the stock volume patch, but still have some battery drain.

Caused by google+ apparently.
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Is v16 louder then v11
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Maybe you should try yourself instead of asking maybe??

I have Google+ uninstalled and I still get roughly the same amount of battery drain as you :(

If 256x Audio upsampling is too much I will change back to 128x ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] adamtan:
I just re-installed Google+.

Let me see how it goes and i update you
[Xperia Z Android Development] diego9016:
I have no battery drain with v16. I don't use G+.
[Xperia Z Android Development] lethalfriend:
I am also facing the Media Server wakelock and its draining the battery like hell :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
For some reason my media server is at 19% and keep awake at 43m24s now , that's the top of my battery usage list lol

I'll definitely check it out now, I'm pretty sure it's the 11.6MHz 256x Audio upsampling superclock which is causing problem (Which requires heavy audio processing)

I will change back to 5.6MHz until there is another solution :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No. Remove AC!D Mod by installing a stock rom (Or reintsall your current rom) and then install this one.

NEVER mix audio mods. It causes conflicts and the mod won't sound as I intended it to be...

Of course! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
Could i ask The difference between this mod and The ac!d one?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Can you compare the features? my mod has some unique features like 192kHz audio and 48 bit integer audio processing (48 bit in v5.0 when it's out)

I would suggest that you go and compare if you are so concerned on what the differences are

EDIT:

For those who are eager to see what might be in the next version, here is the final changelog for the release TOMORROW! :D

Will also be providing stock files to restore the volume back to normal (Some of you might find it to be TOO loud :p)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
Thanks...io think that your mod it's more complete that The other one. I wait tomorrow torno flash The 5.0 :D

I Hope you make The lateral speaker louder in The future release :good:

Im glad you make the volume louder again .

being deaf 80% deaf in my right and 100% in my left ear means i need the volume as high as i can get it

if you can get dsp manger to work with this mod it would be amazing

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

I have install v4 last night and it did seem a bit louder but speaker wise is still the same. Can you increase the speaker volume in your next release.
[Xperia Z Android Development] sillypilot:
I'm using v4 and the distortion quite noticeable in about 70% loudness
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
Zeroinfinity we want your PureXaudio 5.0 :D:D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Please stop repeating questions, look back for my answers on speaker volume...

yeah well, I already warned you guys about distortions...

You want loudness? deal with the distortions. You want no distortions? deal with quiet noise...

hehehe, I'll release it tonight at about 6PM GMT 0 :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
i flash the v4.0 but the headphones volume it's the same...i have to set something to increase the maximum volume?

i don't hear difference between this mod and the stock. I flash it on a stock rom with locked bootloader
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
a lot of people say that, I have already tried to increase the headphone volume even more, if this doesn't improve volume levels, i don't know what will.

One person already said it was a bit TOO loud :p so I guess it is somehow working. Oh and the mod is system wide so EVERYTHING is supposed to work on startup, no need to enable anything at all.

Try v5.0 tonight, it should be slightly better. I won't increase the volume any higher though, background hissing noises and DAC pops (Only for headphones) (From forcing vibrations to stop at once) are now present, I do not want to make things even worse...

Oh and distortions are now present with louder volumes, so I definitely wont be improving the headphone volumes anymore... This is the loudest (I think) the DAC can take without making distortions worse...

If you want higher, get a new devices with a different chip. You will NOT be able to stop distortions AND increase volume levels at the same time. That's just impossible with this DAC

The DAC is great, the only downside to it is the max volume levels :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
strange :confused:...the headphones volume it's the same for me :crying:

i hope in the v5.0. Go zeroinfinity :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah, just remember though; if v5.0 doesn't solve anything, I won't increase volume any further because of the things I said in the post above yours :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
i found the problem. if i connect my sennheiser cx300II to xperia z the maximum volume it's the same of the stock and the quality too. if i connect the sony headphones that i take with the phone the sound it's totally different from the stock with the same headphones. could this help you to discover the solution?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Well, it seems to me that Headphone hardware drivers take part in this audio volume somehow...

I'm not exactly sure why it would be hardware dependent but either way, the audio will stay how it is in v5.0... :)

Maybe the headphone drivers refuse to go any higher due to a "Safety" feature (Like on beats headphones) to prevent hearing loss or it could be that sony headphones/earphones are only able to produce higher volumes...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Supersaiyan.IV:
I think it all depends on the impedance of the headphones.

People that complained about low sound don't use in-ears, but headphones that require more power to drive them.

If you can solve this problem with settings for both headphones and in-ears then this mod will be really good!

EDIT: Also, if the volume will be as high as in V4 I will unfortunately not use this mod. I'm not going to hurt my ears ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
I prefer The sony headphones in this moment :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Oh yes! i totally forgotten how the impedance will effect volumes...

For those who don't know what impedance are, it's the resistance in the voltage. The more the impedance, the more resistance making audio quieter...

My Skullcandy Aviators have a impedance of 33Ohms, so I guess it can be pretty loud (For me anyways lol)

So maybe that's why I never get the feeling that the audio volume is too quiet for me :D

I cannot "Fix" a hardware problem. the only way to enjoy headphones with louder volumes is to get ones with lower impedance... sorry :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] lethalfriend:
I am standing by till you'll find a decent solution :) By the way is there any patch which can revert the original files modified by this mod?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
A silly doubt maybe: I have 1.1.3 version of your rom, can I flash this using TWRP over it as usual or does this require .253 firmware? Doubtful as am still on .434! Sorry if it has been asked early!
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No need, as everyone (Well, most people) are suffering from battery drain, I will release v16 very early this time ;)

I MIGHT be able to release today if all the testing goes well but that will be in a few hours :)

This early release version will be 16.5 so not a lot of changes but it's probably needed the most to fix battery drain :D

Doesn't matter dude, try before asking next time ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] lethalfriend:
Thanks man, I really appreciate your helping approach and enthusiasm towards making this mod a perfect daily driver :) Now I'll patiently wait for the next release.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v16.5 is out! Hopefully, battery will drain slower than before :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Android Development] AlienCraB:
Hello everybody.

I have some 24bit 192khz FLACs of one of my favourite bands and for some reason I am unable to play them on my XZ.

I'm using PowerAMP + PureXAudio v16.5, just updated from v15 since I had the same thing there, I thought it might've solved it, did not, and there are no other sound mods flashed currently on the device.

I've confirmed that the SD card I'm using is easily capable of providing me the read speeds necessary for these files, mind you they are about 50MB per minute, and I've also confirmed that the files aren't corrupt on the SD card.

What do you think might be causing this?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Could PowerAmp play those files before?

Could you play them before installing the soundmod?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Here's my suggestion

64/11.2MHz for exploding dynamics

32/352.8KHz for battery savior

Release 2 versions and let ppl choose themselves.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
I'm starting to question weather or not the soundmod is to blame with battery life as with the new firmware, I've been getting worse battery life than 434...

Can someone try and test for me? I need one person to see if the firmware or soundmod is to blame for bad battery life

Swiped from my Super fast XPERIA Z C6603 powered by EXCELSUS Z ROM
[Xperia Z Android Development] fards:
most people are getting bad battery life on 253 initially, battery drain while screen is on is appalling (looks to me to be the lightsensor spamming you can save a lot of battery but turning screen brightness off auto :D ) )

However the soundmod is definitely the cause of the mediaserver wakelock, didn't have that over the weekend till I flashed v16.
[Xperia Z Android Development] JPWOA:
I only had it for aprox 16h but never saw high MediaServer % on my phone!

I think Global Rom has something to do with it! Before I try the CE version I had high MediaServer % even without PureXAudio!

With CE never saw that! I Think the problem might be the Rom...

Now I'm gonna test EXCELSUS 2.1 which has PureXAudio 16.5 and is based on the Global Rom and see what happens...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Andrewtst:
I still running v16 in .253 stock ROM with DoCoMo v8 bar, my Media Server only consume 2%, I don't seen anything wrong with it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Decided to give v16 a shot and to my surprise the volume is really loud when listening thru my sony headphone after flash v16 and volumeboost :good:

No don't change back to 128x cos I feel 256x is the best :good:

I'm on rooted 434 and no major issue for me. Everything is :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] adamtan:
for those with battery drain, do u have Poweramp installed?
[Xperia Z Android Development] AlienCraB:
I actually don't know if it could as I rooted and flashed the device right after it was out of the box and did not do much on it before that.

I don't think it's related to your mod, that's not why I asked about it here at all, but I thought I could give it a shot and ask what I could do in this thread as it is the most related one and most probably with right people in it too.

I'm not even sure I'll be able to tell the difference between those and regular 44.1/96khz - 16bit ones on a mobile device even with a USB amplifier at all to be honest, they sound almost like they're not digital on my custom x-fi titanium on the PC, but even if the difference in between is half as obvious, I would still go for it.

I'll contact PowerAMP devs and see how that goes I guess.

Anybody have a player recommendation other than PowerAMP that plays FLACs and CUE sheets?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Benjoy Ericsson:
Does the volumeboost boost the volume of headphone? Or it just boost the volume of the speaker and in-call speaker?
[Xperia Z Android Development] adamtan:
Zero, i uninstall and reinstall Poweramp.

Appears to solve the problem

can anyone try and see if it helps?
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
It boost everything including incall volume now my incoming calls sound is so loud and clear ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] danw_oz:
Yes I have noted also that it is very loud, has anyone else noticed that the external speaker distorts badly with Version 16?

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Really wow, this mod has always worked flawlessly for me on .350, .434 & .253 Stock ROMs, all rooted and LB. After reading Note 2 ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Will check again for it

Lol even I have high battery drain

I will switch back due to high media server drain. Don't think I will keep 256x for one person who is on an old firmware...

I fix issues which a majority of users have so don't expect me to keep one feature just because you have no problems with it and others have

Nope, poweramp uninstalled for me

Strange I don't have that installed

Maybe you shall let your phone few cycle charge, at start after just flashing .253 ROM, I also feel it drain battery badly, but after few days use, now I feel the battery level is quite equal with .434 ROM.

Maybe it had nothing to do with your mod.

Now I just flash to v16.5 as notice you also fixed the ClearAudio issue. So far I find no different in that media service percentage. Still remain around 2 to 4%

LOL Strange, v16 and v16.5 both gave me mediaserver issues. I'm still trying to find a proper solution for this (Without lowering the upsampling because I love 5.6MHz :p)

v15 on .434 firmware with 5.6MHz audio did not encounter such issues, I'm guessing it is somehow linked with the new firmware :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] tanoxxx:
Hi Genius :)

i see you have problem with battery drain.. i dont know if it help.. but you can tey to install Wakelock detector https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=it

with this app you can found what drain your battery...

i hope it can help you :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] diego9016:
The problem is that it's really hard to leave the phone all stock when there are such amazing mods as this one.

If someone can leave stock rom for a couple of days and report back if the media server issue is still there, the problem is with the fw.

Better, if someone already have all stock .253, tell if you have the media server issue.
[Xperia Z Android Development] heretic:
Both v16 and v16.5 break Bluetooth headset calling. I cannot hear anything, so does the other party. Rolled back to v15 and Bluetooth headset calling is restored to normal. I'm on locked BL 434 with XZDualRecovery.

When you flash that ROM the installer should format system. This MOD reside on system (Zero correct me if i'm wrong) so you shouldn't have problem when you flash another ROM, the MOD will be removed.
