[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RhymezBoy:
I was using the stock Rom on my phone when I enabled navigation bar using gravity box and rebooted and it never got ahead of the canvas Magnus boot animation ...I had been through this and I used to backup the Rom and then restore it... And it would get the job done .. But it didn't ... I tried just flashing Rom without data and everything... I even installed mini Rom which was on my phone but even it got bootloop...so I transferred the galaxy s4 Rom and thankfully it worked... Now should I try 'restoring the backup once more?? Please tell me what was the problem.. Thanks :good::good::confused::confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dholia.143:
Bro if u want to install stock rom then install official rom link given on XDA and root official rom do not restore ur old backup ur backup is also damaged so again nd again you'll get boot loop

I think name "JOHN" refer to emmc name, i want to change it.

How format emmc without thick knox counter? I'm rooted
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
I've seen loads of threads for other devices and now I got mad because the volume wasn't enough for me, so I decided to create one for Z1.

It will work with EVERY FIRMWARE/ROM/KERNEL. from 4.2.2 to 4.4, just choose the correct option in Aroma :D

It's compatible with Viper4android - confirmed. :)

It was made possible by @SuperHanss . I used this guide to see what needs to be edited. Please thank him, because I wouldn't be able to do this without him.

That's not just copy and paste from another mod, so audio quality remains the same because I just made audio output number different.

Enable "dynamic equaliser" in sound options/equaliser to get the full boost. I found out that if it's disabled, the volume is much lower.

UPDATE 31.05.2014 z1 volume mod 2.5 (latest version)

Fixed headphones in-call and made it an option along with earpiece.

Download - HERE

UPDATE 07.05.2014

Added earpiece boost (small speaker used to hear the person in a call) only for android 4.4. I also propably fixed aroma installer this time.

UPDATE 09.04.2014

Updated the files with those from .757 FTF to fix the routing issue. (Audio from earpiece instead of from the speaker)

UPDATE 05.04.2014 Latest version - Z1 headphones volume mod 2.2 JB&KK AROMA.zip

Added speaker boost for all roms!

DEAF volume works great on 4.4! It's terribly loud!

Please report any issues!

I know that speaker is a bit distorted at the highest volume, I decided to leave it that way because some tracks are recorded quieter than others.

If the aroma installer wont work for you then unpack the zip, open aroma, choose your android version, choose whether you want headphones or headphones+speaker boost, choose the volume boost of your choice, go to the etc folder in there and move mixer_paths.xml file from there to /system/etc, change mixer_paths.xml permissions to those of other file in that directory and then reboot and it'll work. Currently this issue occurs only on the monx's rom.

Coming soon:

Maybe bluetooth

Of course you will be able to choose any of those volumes independently. ;)

Boost for more devices (all android volume boost is my target)

There might be a problem with the mod. It fails to extract files on some roms and recoveries, no idea why. If you don't hear any change in volume then do this.

1. extract the latest zip

2. Choose your android and desired boost

3. copy mixer_paths.xml of your choice and paste it into /system/etc

4. Fix permissions in recovery or correct them by yourself (they should be set the same as other files in /system/etc

5. reboot

If you want to help me with fixing aroma installer, then please do this, I'll add you to the credits with a link with to post with your fix so people could "thank you" in that post.

Boost is tested with:

Z1

Z1c

Z Ultra

Is this for .136 or .290?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] paullu:
Thank you

But i flashed it nothing happen?!

Sound still same

Edit: sorry i didn't pay attention for headphones

Yes it is very lound. In first time i thought it for loud volume when you talking on the phone
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Based on .136 but it should work without a problem on .290 as those are the same files on every firmware starting from .534 (there might have been some cosmetical changes, but those changes could only improve the sound.

It's for headphones with minijack, not bluetooth or speaker. Sound will not change. Volume WILL change. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tsmt971@yahoo:
Can you make one for speaker and bluetooth? The sound equaliser on 136 ROM is not working properly except walkman app.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
I'm not sure what should I edit to get speaker and bluetooth louder and which values are safe for them eg. How loud can I set speaker until it burns. I have an idea how could I get it working, but that will take some time.

Just asking...

u guys crazy??

i'm already mad with the original min volume for the stock earbud or ZX300!!

need 45step volume step to further lower it = =
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Different headphones have different resistance, some people have bad hearing, some people like to listen to music LOUD,some people are using on-head headphones in crowded places sometimes they don't have any kind of noise canncelation so they have to set it really loud.

I can create a quiet version of this mod if you want, no problem. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KWOKSFUNG:
Nice if u could make a mod that make head phone volume always lower

The min voulume on 45step is still not low enough for some of my head phones

i never turn the volume high anyway

I will greatly appreciate if u could make a mod that lower the volume :o

Big thanks bro :)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Lower than original. Would you like one louder than original and quieter than this loud one?

Look at the attachements. I'm uploading lower than stock right now. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
no dude i dont like low sound i want high sound with the best quality but the thing is i want to increase all of them but different values, like head phone jack & blue tooth sound i want 150% out of 100%(which is original), but for the loud speaker i need 125 or 130 % ... sorry i know i am asking for too much but still i am jus asking :).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
I can't really tell what needs to be edited for bluetooth. :/

Headphones are increased from 75 to 110, I kept speaker at stock because after you enable XLoud it's pretty loud, if you set it even louder, the audio will be seriously distorted.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KWOKSFUNG:
thx man i'm looking for even lower min volume and smaller steps for the first few volumes so i can actually get volume i want easier :o

edit: ar u already made it!! hx man!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MysticEnforcer:
first the deaf mod is awesome :good:

rooted deodexed .681 stock rom,

doomkernel v11,

i try it later with the twrp 2.7.0.0 and philz recovery 6.25.0
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Woah... Now I'm really confused as it worked perfectly with nut's rom so I thought there's a problem with monx's rom, but nope... Please try with TWRP and let me know. Also if you could try to flash it using aroma installer and then do aroma log and after aroma installer ended untick reboot and go to advanced - save log and please send both to me.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MysticEnforcer:
twrp/philz also no success
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] alex007600:
The speaker volume is the same, there is no boost :S Ps fix it, thank you. Sorry for my bad English.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MysticEnforcer:
which rom/android version runs on your device?

i had the same issue.

extract the mod you want to use from zip,

push it with a file explorer like root explorer to /etc/,

set permissions to rw r r ,

restart ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dlads:
Nice work with Aroma by the way :)

Has anyone actually killed any headphones? Speakers yet?

I've just gone for the DEAF mod and i'm a little worried now :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MysticEnforcer:
i use the deaf also and till now no damage
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Thanks ;)

Speaker is just boost/no boost. If I'd bump it any further then you would hear tons of distortion.

I don't think it can actually kill headphones unless you're using some 1$ headphones or some headphones with really low electrical resistance. But as always, you flash it on your own responsibility. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dlads:
And is it just me or is the phones speaker a bit louder too? Could just be me but I could have sworn it was a fair bit louder than before, borderline distortion but I'll be careful with it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
If you chose yes for speaker boost then it actually is louder. :)

I've no idea what I did mate haha, all i know is that it's a lot louder.

Put it next to the Galaxy S5 and it's louder than that is, obviously it's not rooted or modded but it paled in comparison.

Tried it next to the HTC m8 and although it could still be heard and put up a fight, the M8 was louder.

Still happy though, it's a hell of a mod m8, you've done well there.

Deaf mode is the one. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Well HTC M8 has way better speakers in terms of hardware. I can't bump the Z1 further or you'll hear the distortion with just a small volume gain(pointless anyway).

Thanks for the words. :)

I've had the weird glitch where the speaker doesn't play and the internal does instead, doens't happen all the time. Bit annoying like, think it's the firmware though.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Duh. I pulled that file from the .757 ftf and redone all of the versions of the mod from pure stock so it has nothing to do with my mod. Either way it's really weird. I thought sony fixed it once and for all. I'm not experiencing this issue anymore, but some of you folks do. That's just bad :/
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] vette95:
Yes, it was with the aroma installer. Is there any other option?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] MysticEnforcer:

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

I'm still on monx 5.0.3, think it's the 681 firmware so the bug most likely sill resides in my ROM. Got a christening after work today and driving lessons tomorrow, will try to get it on there, i'm guessing it'll fix the issue, can't see it being the mod.

seems your mod make no change for lowering the volume in 4.4, both 681 or 757

while it is extremely effective back in .136

could u fix it again??

thankyou :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Try extracting the 2.3 mod then, choosing android 4.4 and your desired boost and then moving mixer_paths.xml of your choice to /system/etc. On some roms aroma fails to extract the file, no idea why.

I'm thinking about coming up with new version which would make the boost available for all devices running android 4.2+. That is going to take loads of time to make it though because I'd have to study on various audio driver files. It's possible though. I'll try doing the mod for Z1,Z1C and Z Ultra first. Maybe the first Z aswell. Then I'll move on to bring the support from the highest count of phones possible.

I'm thinking about 2 ways - fully automatic with just boost levels to choose, user-controlled (people might fail - script won't). What do you guys think?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] spam.anonym:
hi ^^

whats the difference between yours and auras mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2476498) ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
[MENTION=2230611]spam.anonym[/MENTION] in my version you can choose what to boost, how much the boost should be and that's pretty much the same. He's using the same method as I do, but I'm using different values so it suits your needs and you can use aroma installer that looks much better than thousands of zips to choose from.

It doesn't work on every rom, no idea why, but you can always extract my zip and choose the files you want and move them to /system/etc and it will work the same way. :)

BTW. My mod works on Z ultra and Z1c, not only on Z1.:)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] spam.anonym:
sry for my noobish questions ^^"

wich of the boosts is safe? i mean, wich cant burn my headphones/speaker?

i hope you can implement the "Earpiece-boost" soon ^^

for me volume during calls is bit to quiet.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Yup. That's correct.

No worries, ask how much you want. :)

I'm not responsible for anything that happens, but I don't think any of those boosts will burn anything unless you have 99cents headphones or low resistance headphones. Try boost first, insane and then deaf and see which one is enough for you. Speaker should be safe. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] spam.anonym:
thx man ^^

i tested now with my SXZ1 with .757 rom but i cant hear any difference to stock :(

i selected "insane boost" and "speaker-boost" and restarted, but no difference :(

i also activated "dynamic equaliser" in settings.

do i have to do something else?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Extract the zip and choose the boost you want and move mixer_paths.xml from your desired boost to /system/etc. Sometimes aroma won't work, no idea why...

does it matter wich recoverymode i use??

i used PhilZ, i will try it with teamwin

so i have only to copy the "mixer_paths.xml"?

should i also "fix permissions" and/or delete dalvic and cache?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] spam.anonym:
ok, it seems i got it to work ^^

as i only copied the file i lost sound, then i edited the right to RW-R-R, now its working :D

im atm at lvl "insane" but im bit greedy for more, so i think i will try the DEAF-boost :P

THX you very much! :D

i hope you can get rid of the aroma-fail and i hope you can implement also boosts for the earpeace soon ^^

k.r.

[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] Thanks man. Flashed the boost volume mod on my Z Ultra GPe edition and it's working fine.

I was looking for something to boost in call speaker volume as I very often talks with people that way and when I'm in car or somewhere outside they where very hard to hear.

The xLoud didn't increase in call speaker volume but this mod did.

Actually now it's perfect. I unticked xLoud and music is a little louder then before but in call speaker volume is louder.

Thanks 5+
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
You're welcome, I actually think that I'll add in-call earpiece boost soon before the release for all devices as this version will take really long time cos I'll have to learn a lot while doing this and in-call earpiece isn't that much of a big deal. I might also release bluetooth boost with it, but I can't promise that.

Have you just flashed the zip via aroma or you extracted it?

If you just flashed the zip, then please let me know what kernel/recovery have you used.

Don't mean to be ungrateful or rude, but it really isn't that logical. Reverting to stock would imply going back to stock (which is bugged in the first place).

Also, even after doing that, notifications still go through ear piece. First notification goes through ear piece, second one that happens within a few seconds of that will go to the speaker. After awhile this repeats.

Hi,

Please forgive me for this post, but I have started to look at volume mods and started to read this only in the past few days.

However, I find the 12 downloads in the OP not to be in a logical order with the 3 updates mentioned in the OP

Could you explain if each update is cumulative (i.e. includes previous changes or not) and also could you put a version number or release date on the downloads so that it is clear which is the latest version.

Many thanks
