Eh Guys,

some like blonde wifes, some red and some black haired. Some like it with more kilograms and some not.

A friend of mine has a wife with "some more" kilograms and he never ever talked about using more gasoline for driving his car with his wife onboard ;)

So please understand that an argument of "more cpu cycles" using this or other mods is NO argument.

Personal opinions and likes differ and so on listening music and basses.

Please do not try to explain us which kind of listening basses and sounds are good and which are not!

I LOVE this mod --> because listening my music in Deezer sounds wonderful and the standard equalizer of Android doesn´t work in Deezer.

Why Do you try to make your likes as common for others?

TIA

Uwe

I know that v17 is not for 307 firmware, but I tried to install and it worked! But here is some bug: speaker is always on in calls. Waiting for new version for 307 firmware! Good luck!
[Xperia Z Android Development] wawyed:
The point of his post and mine is to let people know that they are being tricked by the op advertising false features..

It's okay to add new equalizer settings and so on, there is nothing wrong with that. But up-sampling audio and things like that does not improve audio quality and could in fact make it worse.
[Xperia Z Android Development] firefox-58:
That is out of interest for the most users who and how it samples and compiles and makes ..........

You or the other poster clearly stated clearly that there is no need of an additional sound mod and I can say You that Your opinion is simply WRONG. As programs like deezer, simfy and others do their own playback without looking for the android equalizer it is for lots of peoples of interest to make this sound better and appropriate. Not less and not more

You can discuss further things direct with the dev itself.
[Xperia Z Android Development] djselbeck:
You still don't get the point do you? It is mainly about useless things like upsampling which is a very costly operation without any benefit. It is even provable that you cannot gain information which isn't there.

Nobody says that you shouldn't use an equalizer. And other mods like more bass and so on are also just equalizers with another parameter set.
[Xperia Z Android Development] firefox-58:
I think YOU do not get the point:

Maybe your opinion is right, but as you see it is out of interest for nearly 100% of the guys and ladies here.........

We want the result the mod give us und nobody has any interest in HOW this happens until it breaks any security holes or so.

Please discuss these issues with the dev via PM and we in this thread can talk about OUR needs.......

News from v18 Zeroinfinity?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v18 and excelsus v3.0.0 (my rom) is done but not released yet. Just been too damn busy. I try to release on Sunday again (This is when I have most free time) :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
And this will add compatibility with the .307 firmware, correct?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
There were never any problems with older fw versions. So I doubt there will be now. 4.2.2 might be something else tho with the adjustments of some libs.
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
I want to be sure. I add PureXAudio to my ROM, but my XZ is away for a screen repair.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Yes, I think v17 already works with .307 too :) I'm using v18 on my updated rom on .307 and everything works nicely :D

I might need to check out some things in the 4.2.2 rom when it's officially released :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] kompisPL:
I'm ready to test v18 finally Sunday :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] j0nthn:
So, does the mod actually make music sound better in your opinion or not?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
It definitely does!
[Xperia Z Android Development] wawyed:
I'm my opinion, no. But someone else might think differently.
[Xperia Z Android Development] j0nthn:
Perhaps it has a placebo effect. So when people are convinced it sounds better, it actually does sound better.. Not sure about flashing this mod, can you just deselect the 'enhancements' if you don't like them, like sony's ClearAudio?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
I did a test: Listen to a song on Walkmann and listen to the same song on PowerAmp. In the latest version the modifications only apply to Walkmann. The difference was pretty big I tell you. When I first got the phone I used clear audio and thought that it sounded great, that was until I used the mod, the mod just makes things sound more natural.
[Xperia Z Android Development] agarcim:
In the other hand, I found the sound with the mod ... how to say ... too sharp? and lacking of warmth.

Also ClearAudio+ sound very worst with the mod and it's unusable (for the combination of my taste, my ears, my music and my headphones).

And the battery seemed to drain faster.

For me, stock + ClearAudio+ sounds better than the mod alone and using the mod with an equalizer was more o less the same than

stock with an equalizer.

In my opinion the mod acts like an equlizer preset. If you like the preset, great. If not, there is no point in the mod.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jonster111:
Has anyone tested this with the new .407 Firmware?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Thraxzzz:
+1 :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] dragon191:
I'm running .407 and with this mod the ear piece speaker doesn't work during calls. All audio comes out the external speaker.

Hope this gets fixed in one of the next updates.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jonster111:
I've tested it. And it seems that it is working. No Problems or bootloops so far :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] poomctp:
tested it on monxDified v03. No problem :o
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
News from v18 Zeroinfinity? :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ohy1994:
If u think clear audio sounded great, well... i think you have a bad taste in music. imo, no one should ever turn on clear audio. it is just that bad
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
And there I thought Clear audio was a setting and not a music genre:p
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Hey, everyone has their different opinions, even if you disagree there is no reason for you to judge him.

I do however agree that ClearAudio+ Sounds really bad (IMO) for headphones because it makes the highs and mids increase whilst keeping the lows (bass) the same. It kinda ruins the audio quality if you really want to hear every instrument played in a song :) but everyone has their own opinions, and people should be free to express their own opinions without people judging them :)

CA+ is good on speakers though, really makes the speaker quality sound louder and clearer.

Sorry for a long delay everyone, I just don't have a lot of time nowadays to do my soundmod + my rom :( I will try to release v18 sometime this week (definitely this week)
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
The speaker's volume is louder in v18? :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
yup, its pretty loud now :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] dragonclif67:
FYI: v17 causes boot loop on xperia ZL

Thanks for the mod. But V17 causes a boot loop when I flash it. I had to re-flash my ROM and reinstall v13 of the mod which is what I had prior. V13 works pretty well except that I get a sound outage in the right Chanel of my earphones when I set the phone volume to Max. Is it possible to fix either of these problems? I am on a Sony stock ROM firmware .434 xperia ZL C6506.
[Xperia Z Android Development] FSN:
Would it be possible to implement "30 Steps Volume" in a future release? I'd really like that (:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Maybe you would like bootloops with that too? No, it requires framework kidding and some roms have different frameworks so it will cause incompatibility issues.

How? V17 is working perfectly, you are the first one to say that you have bootloops, try again. I have already fixed the right channel bug ages ago.

Something you are doing wrong to get bootloops.
[Xperia Z Android Development] FSN:
Oh well, you're right ^^ Though not that far..
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Can you please make me an super extra ultimate super extra duper super extra loud version in-call volume for my sony xperia z both earpiece and speaker ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No.

Enough with the volume already, it's starting to get annoying.
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
I'm just asking in a very polite way. What there to be annoying :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
He said it many times before that he won't make any louder version, and I guess that includes a loudness mod.

You already have 1 mod to increase the volume, what else do you want....And Zero already said that he barely has free time.

P.S. If you want a louder mod, donate him $100 and I'm sure he'll make one for you:P
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
If some kind hearted soul can tell me how to edit to make it louder then I wouldn't have to annoy him anymore lol :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
It's annoying because you CONSTANTLY ask the same question.

It's not about the money, it's about the things I do to the volume is never enough for him (for example, the volume boost I included a super loud version.)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
I just want a super extra loud version dude :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
And that's why he won't make you one, just minutes after he explained himself you still keep asking the same thing.

If you want a super loud version, why not infest some time to learn these things, so that you can make it all by yourself.
[Xperia Z Android Development] onecrzyasian:
Installed this on the note 2 with beanstalk rom and it seems good, thanks for this!
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
can you tell us any changelog about v18 to pass the time? :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
If I'm an audio god I would have do it myself so what wrong with me asking ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
If you are using v17 PXA then you obviously will not have like over 50 percent of the features enabled. If you are universal PXA LITE then it should of worked lol

Not home yet but I will in a few minutes ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] eaglerazor123:
Waitin for V18! :D ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
v18 Changelog:

Will try to release tomorrow :) (Haven't exactly got the Presets in my PowerAMP to the actual soundmod zip but will do that last tomorrow - hopefully it works)

Yes this will work on .307 base and SHOULD (I won't promise you) work with 4.2.2 leak.

I'm probably gonna take a break after v18 then if there is anything new, I will start off v19 (but it could take a while until release)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Great news, hopefully everything goes as planned with the presets.

Hopefully it will be fully compatible with 4.2.2, else it will give you more work once 4.2.2 is out officially.

(The 4.2.2 leak doesn't contain everything so we shall have to wait)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Paulikid:
After flashing v17 the sound during phone calls is always on the external speaker, doesn't matter whether I press the speaker button or not. After restoring my nandroid backup the issue is gone. I'm on FW .434 (existenz Rom)

Solved it by flashing Excelsus Z Rom, now everything works fine.

Swyped from my incredible Xperia Z with Tapatalk 4.
[Xperia Z Android Development] fer2503:
No v18 for this week?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Slash75:
+1
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Gimme a min, uploading it now :D

v18's final changelog:

The PowerAmp presets were a bit weird this time, data\data\com.maxmpz.audioplayer\shared_prefs\eq.xml only showed the preset which I am currently using (PureXPsychoRealism+) and I have no idea how to add all of the three presets altogether... So, v18 will only include PureXPsychoRealism+ in this version.

I will try again in the next version :)

EDIT: v18 is finally released! at last!, Hopefully it SHOULD be bug free now :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] eddietah:
Is this louder then v11 :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] doki81:
any kind soul try it with the 4.2.2 leak yet?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Should work just fine:P
[Xperia Z Android Development] bLack_Q:
I did try but I think nothing changed. Same Volume as before and no new menu items.
[Xperia Z Android Development] SafiXS:
Check out the Walkman equalizer, deactivate clear audio und feel the sound.

For sound quality wise, I'd recommend moving to CM10.1 ROM. I can modify source code to use low latency audio while default Sony won't allow it. I can change buffering configuration from 2048 (42ms) to literally 256 (6ms) from alsa driver up to kernel level making whole new level of awesomeness.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Supersaiyan.IV:
Sitting on latest PAC with CM 10.1 and I really miss the organic audio PureXAudio provided. Although DSPManager triumphs at bass there's no comparison when it comes to clarity.

I wonder if it'll be possible to port PureXAudio to 4.2.2 once official 4.2.2 sources from Sony become available. Unless I've missed a release and they're already out.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
You better try my ROM then. It's compiled with Linaro using O3 optimizations and tweaked alsa driver for lower latency. Well, I'm still waiting for updated DooMKernel CM10.1 mod so it'll be a while for even better ones. It's way better to use PureXAudio with pure low latency audio than fancy DSP provided by Sony or such.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Dsteppa:
Because of that you're tempting me to switch to CM:p

[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Can't you? Does it not appear in the list where you select your preset?

Ok, I will find another way to include this
[Xperia Z Android Development] dragon191:
purexpshycorealism+ was the default active preset in poweramp after I installed v18
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Excellent, so it worked?

Can you see it in your presets list in PowerAmp?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Futura2000:
Its the default preset in poweramp but if you change it you then loose it and cant see it again it just shows the original presets.....zero you could try talking to the dev of poweranp to help you out getting all your presets in poweramp as he is quiet helpful
[Xperia Z Android Development] dragon191:
Correct, you have to manually save it otherwise you will loose it when you change presets.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Good idea, I'll see if they can help me in the poweramp forums :)

Well, at least you still have my preset at first ;)

i am on .307 custom rom with purexaudio v17....do i just flash v18 only? or do i flash bluetooth patch as well?
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
If you have read back a page, apparently some users found the bluetooth patch to break some things so it's best not to install bt patch and just v18 only :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
ZeroInfinity, there're some suggestions to make:

1. bit-depth should be changed to U32_LE instead of 64-bit floating point. I let many audiophiles tested it and all of them including me preferred 32-bit integer over 64-bit floating point for 256x upsampling. 64-bit floating point would be fine for some upsampling range but with high upsampling like that, distortions are greatly increased with conversion between integer and floating point.

2. It seems you forgot to increase headphone volume. I found latest version having hp volume at 80%.

3. CM10.1 uses different configuration format so maybe you should take a look on that one too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] fookea:
i report i am on 4.2.2 and it is working no problem ! thanks !
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
1. Ok sure, will test it :)

2. Really? I haven't touched it though... should be the same

'HPHL Volume':1:92
'HPHR Volume':1:92

3. I'll check that out later

When him will break your speaker i think make stop to ask every time the same song....

Best is to ignore him, maybe then he will stop.

Zero already said that he won't do it, so pming won't help.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
In service tests, there is a option named stereo speaker. I ran it and it verified both left and right channel separately. Is there a possibility we also have stereo speakers (separate left and right channels?).
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
Stereo speakers mean 2 speakers. Obviously we only have 1 so obviously mono.

Just because it can play on both sides does not mean it's stereo. The pint of stereo is having 2 speakers lol
[Xperia Z Android Development] DeathlessOne:
Oh well :)

Then why is it showing as stereo? Maybe Sony forgot? :P

Hi...

Tried to install v 19 on ZL, first Time I want to try out your Mod, but after Flashing no "Walkman App" was installed, had to Restore Nand Backup.

I'am on .423, rooted, unlocked BL.

Any Advice for me ?

Thanks!

Ah, Flashing Process seemed to be fine, looked like in the Video Tut. Everything ran through til completion. No Distortions ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] ZeroInfinity:
No Walkman? It should of worked because I have the new Walkman fully working here :)

Oh well, all the new Walkman gives is a new ui is all, just stick to the stock Walkman :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] nukharma:
Maybe missunderstanding, the Rom is Stock 4.2.2 .423 and after flashing there was only the Walkman Icon and when I tried to start System said Application not installed. I looked in settings...apps, there it was listed Walkman but only ~136kb, tried to delete data...but does nothing.

I will take a look at this tomorrow, anyone with deodexed rom have success with the new Walkman?
