This is actually a useful suggestion. I've just added the beginning or the latest zip file to the latest update.

Thanks for the heads up, what's obvious for me is not obvious for everyone!

Could you also recommend me a hosting site that hosts the files forever (like xda) and lets me know how many times the file has been downloaded?

;) Thanks

I use a mixture of hosting sites

Dev host is good, as well as mega and box. I don't pay for anything extra, just use the free ones and they seem fine to me.

Not sure about number of downloads counts (I think dev host does that) as I never really bothered with it...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
I'll give box a try with something that I'll do in the future. I couldn't upload files on Dev host as it got stuck on 100% and mega doesn't have the download count at all. :-\

sorry ill try to be more clear ok so when i have headset or earphones plugged in and listening to music and get a call and try to talk with the headset on the volume is very low i have to unplug and use the speaker on the phone (ear speaker) which is perfect i am using mod insane + speaker + ear on nuts 4.4.2 deodexed all other volumes are great i never had this problem with volume mod 2.3 only 2.4 but i love the volume level from the ear speaker on 2.4 only problem is the in call volume with earphone or headset
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] taranfx:
Is this volume mod any different from amplification u can get from PimpMyZ1 app?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
That's exactly what I experienced recently, but I was always forgetting about it. Thank you for the reminder. I'll release new, fixed version soon. :)

I think that it's completely different as PimpMyZ1 volume mod works at the kernel level (I suppose) and my mod works at the system level. My mod should be more native as I'm not adding any new lines, but I'm _-MODYFING-_ the values that were already in the stock rom. I've never tried this boost in PimpMyZ1, so I can't tell for sure. There aren't much features that convince me to stay on UB. dt2w drains the battery as hell. I could try switching to it, but I can tell that there are massive differences between UB and LB in the camera department, so UB is meh for me.

Try this boost for yourself! :)

It seems that your kernel/system is not using stock-sony way to play sound. There's no sound_control_3 file in /system/kernel on stock rom with stock kernel. :)

I suppose it's not using the sony way. I can't be sure about it because I don't know what have been modified in the kernel. Either way - it's up to you what boost you choose. I suppose that my boost boosts the sound more than Pimp my z1 because I'm using various versions. Including DEAF which is REALLY loud.

Is this mod working for my kitkat z1 compact? do i just overwrite the files already there? Or can i just edit the files with the desired volume gain? If so,how? I just want my headphone volume up so i can hear at the level io want,not what some politician has decided is "healthy" for me.. Stock volume i cant hear a damn thing,my audio books are so low i can only listen in absolute silent environments..

Phone is brand new,so i am not much for rooting it as i will lose warranty

Thank you
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
You can root your phone without losing your warranty. Take a look here.

If something goes wrong and you want your warranty back - just flash an ftf using PCC and the "repair" option. Your warranty will be back and noone would be able to tell you that you've rooted it.

After you root your phone and get yourself a recovery - just flash the file and pick what you want.

You can't use this without rooting.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Tsunamijhoe:
Thank you for the answer,even if i have no idea what you are talking about..I am used to a galaxy s3 rooting using odin,and that was so easy,this seems very complicated. I have no idea what ftf or PCC means,and i have no idea of which of your volume mods to pick from. I just want the headphone and ringtone/notification volumes increased, which should i pick?

Your "how to" on page one asumes users know what to do,how to flash and which tools to use. Is it possible for you to elaborate on how to do this exactly for newbies with sony phones?

Thank you
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
You can root using this step by step guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688933

After you root and get yourself a recovery just download my latest version of the soundmod and flash it in the recovery.

FTF - sony firmware files

PCC - Sony PC Companion.

Updated! :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] llewelld:
Hi. Just a few quick questions.

1. in the op you say "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."

Im on kitkat (761) - there is no option I can find for this. The closest is settings > sound > sound effects > dynamic normalizer. (is this what you mean ?).

I have flashed the latest 2.5 with aroma link in the op, but I have tried all settings from insane & deaf, and to be honest I can't notice any difference in wired headphone volume (have tried 2 different pairs on headphones).

Is there anything else I need to flash or do to get this to work or does the aroma installer take care of it. (confused why there are a 10 download links in the op?).

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Yeah, dynamic normalizer.

Make sure you chose Android 4.4.

Aroma takes care of everything.

I've but it in bold and a bigger font - don't download anything from attachments.

What headphones are you using? There should be a massive change in the DEAF version. Have you turned the dynamic equaliser on?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] llewelld:
I'm using relatively high end Audio Technica ATH-m50's cans & sony MH1-BL and also Denon Urban Raver (forget the model but they are massive BEATS like bassy in ear set)..

Do you mean to switch it on set the dynamic normalizer on (you mentioned again in the last sentence dynamic equalizer). No matter what custom equalizer option i set, the volume seems to drop substantially compared to no equalizer (ie leaving it default).

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] 7sen:
which version for Cm11 ! for speaker

i install 2.4 but i think it's not work
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dontbelive:
Is it possible to link earpiece with loudspeaker cuz in my opinion the earpiece has a good output with 105 and it will be good if both working while listen to music I would love to see it :)

I pushed headphones to 89

Loudspeaker to 90

Earpiece to 105 good for your insane mod :P it don't distort

But would love to see stereo sound on z1 earpiece and loudspeaker

Thanks for your mod
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Please elaborate. I'm not sure what exactly is the issue.

Unpack the zip and move mixer_paths.xml of your choice to system/etc and reboot. Aroma sometimes fails to flash. No idea why. And don't flash 2.4, but 2.5 instead.

You want to use both earpiece and loudspeaker for music output? O.o

I think I MIGHT be able to do this, but it also might wear the earpiece too much leading to failure of it. That's not something I want. I know that's xda here, we do impossible things, but we also do our best to keep our work here as safe as possible.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
I don't think I'll ever do this. You will break your device and noone else is going to use it +it's going to take a lot of time to get it to work as I'd have to realise how does the audio routing work from the start and assign additional device somewhere in there. I'll take a look at this SOMEDAY. It might happen in a few days, weeks, months, years or not at all. I'll take a quick look at this in a few hours, but don't get your hopes up.

Quick attempt. I take completely no responsibility for anything you are doing with what I provide. It might work, it might not work at all or it might blow your device irreversibly. No warranty at all. You're doing this entirely at your own risk. Full #YOLO. By downloading this file you agree to these terms and I'm completely not responsible for anything.

If you're still sure you want to try then ok. Download this, move to /system/etc, set correct permissions and reboot.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Please try to be more clear. Of course in-call speaker is mono. You're using only 1 speaker for the call after all.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] azeez77:
Sorry my bad ok the sound is only coming from the left side ear phone when in a call but every where else is fine it ever did that on your other versions

I tried using it on ihackers 4.1 but only get fc from sound optimisation.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
If you want to install it manually then all you have to do is moving mixer_paths.xml to /system/etc.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RISHI RAJ:
No difference at all.I used all versions even deaf.Im on stock 4.4 with latest update

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] punkt:
It is for stock based rom
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Install it manually then. Unpack the zip and choose your options, move mixer_paths.xml of your choice to /system/etc and that's it.

BASED on stock, but it can be used on both stock and custom like CM11

In-call quality remains the same. In fact all the quality of all boosted components remain the same. All that's modified is the max volume.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Tsunamijhoe:
Hello again olokos

OK,so i finally managed to root my phone,and install supersu and i think the dualrecovery,so how exactly do i install these mods? How do i flash something in the recovery? Do your mod files need to be on my pc or the phone?

And which file exactly do i need to use if i want a volume boost in phone speaker and headphone level only? Z1_headphone_volume_boost_with_backup or Z1_headphones_volume_mod_4.3_4.4_AROMA_2.1??

Sorry for my noobness, like i mentioned,i am used to samsung and odin,so i hope i dont annoy you :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
That's totally fine, feel free to ask unless the thread says otherwise, like [DEV] threads which this one isn't. :)

Give me some time as I figured out what prevented my aroma installer to work. Next release will fix all of the issues. After I release it just copy it to your phone and flash it via the recovery. You'll be able to choose what boost you want when flashing. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Tsunamijhoe:
OK,i had to manually change permissions for it to work,but it works now.. Thank you so much :)..Now i can blow my ears to kingdom come in peace of sony and EU´s stupid restrictions

On a sideway note - the current files are 100% working on 4.4.4. I'll release this when the aroma installer is finally fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheGreatSega:
FOR 4.4.4

Here's a link to the mixer_paths that ive modded to work!

Mixer_paths.xml

Replace in system/etc and change permissions to rw-r-r .

Reboot and wipe cache and Dalvik

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
What exactly have you changed?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheGreatSega:
I used your previous work as a template and changed those to deaf volume.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zigero:
i extracted the deaf mixer_paths.xml from the aroma installer, since the other zip files don't have them, only the snd_soc files which worked for 4.3.

Tried on 4.4.4 and the soundvolume decreases, replaced the mixer file manually with 0644 permissions and through aroma installer in twrp

Didn't work...

Saga's file works perfectly though, i think it's even louder than deaf mode, because i had deaf mode on 4.3
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheHunk_2:
amazing bro i love this device the only problem was the 3.5mm jack volume and u fixed it X100 thanks ..:D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DylanNeil:
Strange Happenings...

I am running Kitkat 4.4.4 and criskelorom 6.3 and didn't manage to get this mod working through the aroma installer.

Where it gets weird is that I was able to manually copy the the deaf and insane .xml's and get them working but both were so loud they were unusable on anything other then the lowest volume step which came with a loud buzzing sound on quieter sounds.

I tried to copy the boost .xml but upon rebooting songs wont even attempt to play much less produce any sound.

Anybody encountered something like this or have any suggestions?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Yeah, aroma is broken for an unknown reason. I'm looking for someone to help me with this.

You can pick the boost version instead of deaf or insane.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DylanNeil:
I tried the boost version several times but that resulted in no audio whatsoever, songs in poweramp and Walkman wouldn't even start to play...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DylanNeil:
Problem solved!

I believe there is an issue with the "boost" headphones + speaker xml file for kitkat. Got the "deaf" and "insane" H+S xml to work no problems but the "boost" version buggered all audio on the phone. I went back and tried the "boost" xml just for headphones and it works a charm!

Any who not fussed about speaker volume so I am sorted but thought I would pass on the glitch none the less. Keep up the good work!

(I'm running a UK Z1 C903 on 4.4.4 with LB)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
It's made for Z1 dude. :)

I'm not sure, but I can't think about any reason why it wouldn't work as basically all those parts are the same, but in smaller device. Just make a backup of your /system partition. If you can't then just rename files in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ taiko and taikox1 to something else. I usually just put .bak at the end of the filename so I'd know that it's a backup.

Please let me know if it works. :)

You're welcome, I felt the same when I did this! :D

Headphones are drastically increased,

Call volume is even too loud in my opinion, doesn't bother me that much though.

Loudspeaker could get distorted when playing on higher volumes than stock with xloud. That's what happens to me already with some audio files.

I can't tell which string is referring to bluetooth, so I don't really know how do I make that louder. TBH I couldn't see any volume mod with bluetooth volume higher than stock.

All of those are in 2 files which probably should be set the same. I'm not really sure, but volumes are set the same on both files so I don't really want to mess around with that too far. :)

btw, i also flashed pure audio v3 for z1, i guess the 2 mod ar compatible??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
You can use any other mod you want as long as it's not touching the files in my zip. I'll make EVEN QUIETER version, can't really tell when, but I will do that. I'll try going from 75 to 45. That should make a huge difference.

I put up quiet volume - it's even more quiet then the "lower than stock".

I put up every volume mod with backup. If you haven't tried it yet then it's very easy to do it now. If something is wrong on Z1C then just flash revert for all devices zip and your back to your old sound files. Please report back so I could post it to Z1C forums aswell. :)

Will sbh20 will increase the volume also? Or is it just for headphone connected directly to the phone?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
I made changes for direct connection as I can't really tell which one is which in the volume files. I can create a test version for that, but it could also make loads of other volumes louder and I can't really tell what's going to be louder after I do that. Try flashing this one and if it won't work and if you can test the wireless version then let me know and I'll try to do that. It may be very buggy - ex. it will raise call speaker volume or sth else. If you still would like to be a tester then PM me on tapatalk and we'll switch to hangouts. It would be nice if you would also have bluetooth headphones so I could work on that too.
