[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] this is probably a serious noob question but is there any chance of this working on the Xperia T lt30p?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
I'll try to do that then. That will take above a week though, because I would have to learn how to modify an existing text file so I wouldn't have to make even more versions of my Soundmod. There's already like 5. :)

If you're on Android 4.3 then it might work. Check the folder /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ and let me know what files are there. If you're below Android 4.3 then there is not even a chance it will work. I asked a friend of mine to check that and those files were different. Hopefully I'll find out from which Sony device it works. :)

I'm 100% sure it works on Z1 as I'm using it myself. It should work on Z1C and Z ultra, but I can't really tell because I haven't got any feedback on that. :'(

Does this mod just increase the volume alone? Are there any mods like acid sound mod for the z1?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
It's just the volume. It's fully compatible with probably any sound mod like viper, acid etc.

Does viper and acid work on the z1? I really want that plus this mod. I am on base .136.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] nxkr:
is this a full mode or only kernel ? and if it is a kernel is it flashable on CM 11 nightly 4.4.2 C6903 >??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Someone confirmed that it works on the viper flawlessly. It also should work great with acid, but I can't promise. Try it for yourself and let me know. :)

I have no idea what do you mean. It's not touching kernel at all. It's only a /system modification.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Juzman:
Why did you not just modify the "mixer_paths.xml" in /system/etc/ ? I did this for loudspeaker and headphones and worked just fine. Any benefit over modifying the snd_soc_msm_Taiko and snd_soc_msm_Taiko_1x instead?

Edit: On CM11, those files don't exist, I guess that is why I modified the mixer_paths.xml file. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DarthOps:
What values in mixer_paths.xml did you modify and what did you set them to?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
Would this work with Z1 Compact?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
It should. I already asked somebody to report on that, but it didn't really work. Dude asked me whether it works on Z1C, but after I asked him did it work at the end he didn't reply. Please test any of the versions for yourself and let me know. If something is going to be messed up then just use restore for all devices zip and you will be back on stock. /Bit drunk.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
So i'm on cyanogenmod 11 and I want a good volume boost. Which should I flash?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
Sorry mate, that could have been me. I got the compact but had to return it due to a fault. I'm a bit too busy these coming days to root but as soon as I get around to it I'll test this mod on the compact. It works great on my Z1 and I'm hoping it will work on the compact as well, as the sound is ridiculously low even with the built in boost turned on.

Sendt fra Z1C
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Whichever you want. You can flash insane or wait for me to get back home to release deaf version which is ridiculously loud. It has to be really loud near me to listen on max volume. I'm in a train now and a bit above half volume is fine for me.

Oh, sorry then. I'll wait for your test so I could also post this thread to Z1C boards.

Finally got around to rooting my Z1 Compact and flashed the Insane volume mod. While it definitely seems louder thank stock volume I wouldn't rate it at an "insane" level. It was easy having the earphones in at full blast.

But all in all I can vouch that it works for the Compact phone as well.

Edit: tried the DEAF mod as well. Louder than stock, no doubt, but not overly so. May be a block on the Compact that stops the volume to go to a certain level.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Maybe you've got a dsp in the headphones? I know that it exists on some on head sony headphones. The expensive metal ones.

Please let me know if you have any other issues like microphone or something else. :)

Deaf version is 300 whilst stock is 110 so it should be almost 3 times louder.

there is definitely LOT of quality LOSS.

So after install this the sound surely became loud but the quality dropped BADLY. its as if speakers have hole in it.

thanks for your mod but just giving feedback so you can make it better :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Trust me, there is no way there could be any quality loss. Except for outputting sound at high volumes on headphones that can't handle that. But that's not the issue on my end.

The mod is just a value edit of what the sound output is, so there could be no output quality loss.

Try it on some proper headphones. ;)

This mod is only for headphones, not speaker. I'm looking for testers on the speaker.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omar300:
thats weird because i fully hear changes in speakers.

the speaker became louder for sure.

so really no one else has notified you about this yet?

my phone is bootloader unlocked, would that play any effect?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
There's no change in speaker. It might have happened because some other mod or maybe after you've flashed my mod clearphase could get disabled. Reenable it again if it is disabled.

Hi Buddy, I am ready to be your beta tester... Need a loud sound for the speaker, inhear call volume speaker & in call loud speaker along with high volume in headphones ...

Let me know when you are ready to test.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Thank you very much. Please keep an eye on this thread as I'll post it here for you to test. But before you test it - please check the volumes before you flash the beta version. I'll propably upload the beta in few hours.

Wysłane z mojego C6903 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Test version released. I'm not responsible for any damage.

Check volumes before flashing so you could compare them in a reasonable way.

After you flash it please turn all volumes to minimum, play music via speaker and raise volume step by step. Please test in-call volume too. But go only step by step from minimal volume in-call.

It's for speaker and in-call speaker.

I'll thank every tester that will test it and report back. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Hey Buddy, flashed the test file & below are my observations:

Ringtones & Music Volumes through the phone speaker test

- Last 2-3 volumes steps ( last 3 steps of volume leading to the maximum volume) does not have any increase in volume since the volume is at its max before the last 3 steps

- The music and ringtones gets distorted when I go above 4th-5th click of volume increase and going till the max distorts the music totally.

Volume through the in-call speaker

- I dont notice any difference in loudness when I was on the call. The other party's volume sounded the same meaning normal at the loudest level. There seems to be no difference in the in-call speaker volume through this test mod.

In-Call Volume through the phone's loud speaker

- There seems to be some problem when I put the party on phone in-call loud speaker, during my conversation with the other party on the call though in-call speaker they said my voice quality was fine but as soon as I clicked the loudspeaker button the in-call voice coming through the phone's loudspeaker was distorted making the other party not-audible and the other party complained that they heard a lot of distorted noise from my end making it sound like I was in the middle of heavy traffic.

My Suggestion is download and examine this mod ... The dev has got good amount of loudness for the Ringtones & Music also the in-call loud speaker is good BUT WHAT IS LACKING ON THIS MOD WHICH YOU CAN DO IS

- Make the ringtone & music sound 20-30% louder from the speaker

- Make the in-call speaker louder

- Make the in-call loudspeaker louder

- Add your loud volume magic for the headphones

Why reinvent the wheel right... work on the mod further and make it better.. its just a suggestion...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. It seems that I've set those volumes too high. Which is weird because headphones volume is tripled and it's fine whereas I set volumes on 150% on this test mod. It seems that this 150% is too high for a speaker. My point was to figure out whether I'll be able to do it myself instead of being a copycat, as it turns out partially I did it, but I just messed up with setting it too high.

Thanks again.

Probably if I get more time I'm going to overhaul this mod. What I mean by that is examining what I've done wrong, correct that, create various boost mods for each of audio outputs independently to choose from in aroma installer. One zip, you choose what to increase and how much by yourself. Including the restore option. This will take some time though.

Well, it's done, but it fails to flash on 4.4. It's a bug with recovery, Sony must've implemented some new protection or stuff. Try to move any file in /system with TWRP - it will fail. even chmod 775 doesn't work... I'll update this thread as soon as it is fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] franziro:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
No idea, you tell me. If you're on Android 4.3 then backup 2 files in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ with "Taiko" in the filename. If you're running Android 4.4 then back up /system/etc mixer_paths.xml. The easiest way to back them up is to add .bak at the end of the filename. If it wouldn't work then you just delete new files and rename your original files from .bak to the original filename. Please post back after you've tried it so I could add it to the working/not working device list. :)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
It's not nessesary to quote the entire thread...

Either way. I think I can tell that volume boost for headphones is safe, but as always, you do it at your own risk.

Speaker boost is in testing. People wanted it - so I did it. The thing is - is it working? I need feedback before I put it on the first post.

It shouldn't do any harm if you don't crank it up to the max right after flashing. That's why testing is needed before the actual release :)

I tested it on my c6906 and it's definitely louder but the speaker can't handle it, I had to reduce the volume by a 60% in order to avoid sound distortion.

Edit: these were my perfect values with dynamic normalizer on and clearaudio+ off. But anyway I think that there's no need to boost the speaker volume in the Z1 as the default values are kind of perfect.

(Yes, that app can be used as an audio manager too. xD)
