Hi

is there a way to make it even higher?? my call volume is very low, i can bearly hear the voice of the person that calls me
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] YamyYugi:
hey, its possible i can use this without root and cwm recovery? bcse if i root this and use cwm recovery i will lose my waranty.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dilesh Perera:
this sound mod works even with Lolipop update. i moved the xml to the Sys folder manually and wow. !! cant flash cos no working recovery in LP yet :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Are u sure man? Cuz there are some different parts there when comparing. Mainly telephone related. Have you tried calling? ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dilesh Perera:
hey :)

yes i did. i dont see any difference while calling on mobile network or skype. all works. backup original and have a try :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Tried it but as I use it I find this kind of mod to work better on cheaper / basic headphones. When using more expensive and advanced headphones it sounds like one is cheated on power to the headphones and get an insane gain instead... This defenetly does make sound go to the over saturated side of sound.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Dilesh Perera:
im using original Sony headset MDR-NC31EM. Stock sound is not power enough that is the reason i use MOD. and when in KK i have tried several mods that is available in XDa but only this improves the sound and quality for me.

not sure with high quality headsets as i dont have any ...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Reb0rn:
Yeah stock Sony headphones need way to much power to perform.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] YamyYugi:
guys its possible i use this without root?...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
No !!

Read OP because you need to flash this in recovery or use root explorer to replace it manually !!

Modifying any part of the software will void your warranty. A better answer would have been "it only voids your warranty if you get caught".

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Yes, only if you get caught.

Yes. It will. Modifying any part of the software will void your warranty. But like I've said, only if you get caught.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] YamyYugi:
how i do that ? xDD
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Just some advice, people aren't going to do research for you here, at least for common questions like how to root. You're going to have to read up a bit, do some research. Simple questions like how to root can be easily answered just from looking at pinned threads, etc. Also, I wouldn't recommend doing anything until you've read up on the procedures and understand what you're doing. Or else you will be right back here asking how to unbrick your phone.

Hello Olokos, first of all, thanks for your fantastic work with the mod.

I have been using it since the first version.

Now im trying to install the new Android 5.0.2 23.1.A.0.726

Please, could you make a new version for 23.1.A.0.726 ???

i would like to test it,

im specially interested in headphone boost (because i use a 32ohm senheisser HD439 Headphones)

thanks you so much! :D

It works on lollipop the last version of this mod.But the speaker in calls is terrible...the sound is confusing ...is a issue present in kitkat too.

how can i restore in 1.5?theres inly one file
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] madshark2009:
this may sound crazy but the main reason I rooted my phone is to get a mod like this , as crazy as it sounds ive been rooted for a couple of weeks now and just now I am completly satisfied because i rooted ! just because of you !! :D you just made my day sir Thanks a lot !

though music on max with headphones seems a little distorted just slightly on the bass tones hope there is a fix in the future , yet the mod is AMAZING ! :D

Stupid question, is there a way to make this into an APK lol i want this MOD sooooo bad! I might have to sell the damm phone to get a phone with an unlocked bootloader....
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
No, this is not possible. The zip file writes into system partition.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Teknohtc:
ok thanks! i will wait and see if this phone is able to get ROOT access with a locked boot loader since my Z1 had a locked bootloader and was Rooted. GO DEVS GO! :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
I'd highly recommend that you unlock the bootloader. This might take forever.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] idumbakumar:
but i hope root will be done without unlocking bootloader.. just need to wait for sometime..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Yup. You need a rooted device. Any unrooted way to boost the volume changes the sound output more or less, when my way doesn't.

You packed in a folder in the zip dude... It's not flashable as it is now... I'll fix and test it when I get home.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [NUT]:
I've tested it, instead of making it louder, it sounds weaker to me...

Anyone who can confirm this?

Attached is the fixed test version. If you want me to remove it [MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION], let me know and it's gone.

sound sounds cleaner however...or it may just be my ears :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
U sure it sounds cleaner? Please make sure so I won't revert these changes before another attempt to boost the speaker :)

PS. How much quieter is it? Much or just a bit?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [NUT]:
It's I think a good 15-20% quieter... It was enough for me to revert to the previous version as it became too low for me...
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ahmedmohsin:
id say the same thing too !
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
how about the clarity of the sound? Is it better or the same?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] [NUT]:
I personally didn't have any reason to complain in the first place but it sounded just fine.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] heara:
hello, now im root with locked bootloader how do i flash the zip? everything stock!!, thanks in advance!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kobz1973:
U need recovery installed to flash the zip.

Now for the question...

Anyone know where to copy the files too from the zip to use this mod without recovery but has root..?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] in_finity:
Download the mod from OP. Then, on your PC, extract the contents of the zip file to a folder of your choice. You will see a file "mixer_paths.xml" in system/etc. You need to push this file to your Z2 to the same folder (/system/etc). This could, for example, be done via ADB.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Or via any file manager with root capabilities. Root explorer is my favourite out of many file managers.

Remember to keep the same permissions! (rw-r--r--)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Another speaker boost TEST

Please proceed with caution. It may damage stuff. Before you test it - go to minimal volume and then slowly to max.

This is not a flashable zip. You have to extract it and move to /system/etc. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kobz1973:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Please backup your mixer_paths.xml by renaming it to mixer_paths.xml.bak and then flash my mod and let me know if noise cancellation still works. If it doesn't just delete new mixer_paths.xml and rename your old file to what it was.

I'd also appreciate it if you would upload your old file so I could make a next version with noise cancellation working. I do not own the device so that's why I ask. ☺

Thank you guys for your words. ?

Anyone tested the file I posted above?

[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] ...so I seem to understand even have not set the mod to increase the speaker volume?

I will be attentive to this thread

thanks for your effort
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Yeah, please test this version below and let me know if it worked. I can't test it as I do not own the device. 22 downloads - no reports :(

Hi,

Just would like to know, if this sound mod will increase the ringtone volume of incoming call and notification ( SMS)...?

Do i need to unlock bootloader for installing this mod? I rooted my Z2.

And for the stupid question. How can i install this mod? And how to restore it as default?

Thank a lot
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
It will play through both speakers now.

If you want to install it without the recovery then just extract either of my zips and move mixer_paths.xml from the zip to /system/etc

There's also a restore zip.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vdanh:
Thanks olokos,

We just need to copy only one file named "mixer_paths.xml" from the zip to /system/etc is good enough? The other inside folders META-INF are not required. Right?

Is the original file named "Z2 stock sound revert KK"?

And what is different between headphone boots and without headphone boots? :D

Edit: I just moved the mixer_paths.xml by using Root explorer from the zip to /system/etc. Set the permission as default rw--r--r and then reboot the phone. But the ringtones volume of incoming call and SMS are still small as before, not louder :(. Did I do something wrong? :(
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vicedens2002:
Not working for me. Am on 402 and in 6502. For when I change the audio is cut off like there is no speaker.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
1. Yes, reboot of course.

2. Yes

3. That's simple - headphone boost = boosted headphones, no headphone boost = just use stereo speakers for all sounds.

4. What version have you flashed?

What version have you flashed?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] strommy1966:
is there a way you improve the microphone in the Z2 ?? ever since i have had this phone i constantly get people telling me im breaking up (even with full signal) .. or that it sound like im across the other side of the room talking to them ! you have to keep the mic so close to your mouth.. i then end up putting people on hold ,or sending key tones down the phone with my cheek . never had this problem with my old GS2 :good:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vicedens2002:
V1.0 with headphone boost.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vdanh:
I used no headphone boost version (Z2 soundmod 1.0 without headphones boost). I just copied the mixer_paths.xml" from the zip to /system/etc. Then reboot. And seem no different before replaced the original. :(

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

I though just only me having this issue. When I calling to my friend, she told me that the voice is very small. Then I put the mic close to my mouth, but it will send key tones with my cheek :(.

Here is my resolve,go to setting -> Call Setting -> turn on speaker voice enhancement. And lock the screen after pick up the call. This will prevent sending any key tones by touching the phone with your cheek :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
I'm thinking about improving the sensivity of the microphone, but this will be after I get speaker boost for the Z2.

Make sure you guys actually used a root file manager and moved the correct file to the correct place with CORRECT permissions. It would be a lot better if you could flash the zip as it's doing all of the stuff for you.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vdanh:
Yes, i did exactly what you said, I renamed the original file to mixer_paths.xml.ORIG and then copied your modded "mixer_paths.xml" from the zip to Z2 /system/etc. Then set the permission to rw--r--r. But no difference :(

If I install the dual recovery from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785598

How can I flash your zip file on recovery mode?

Thanks,
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
You just flash the zip like any other flashable zip you'll find. Make sure you downloaded a zip from the 1st post.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hussainally:
Which is better with or without headphone boost?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
What colour is better? Black or white? That's exactly the question you asked. :) Some need headphone volume boost and some don't. Some like white better and some prefer black.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] packetlos:
I would recommend you contact sony and send your device for warranty repair rather than trying to work around this in software, sounds like your microphone is broken as I have never had any complaints from people at the other end of the call with my Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] strommy1966:
there were a few threads a while back about the terrible call quality . a lot of people were experiencing the problem i am having . so i would guess, unless there are a lot of faulty units , this is just a terrible quality mic that Sony have used :mad:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] paullu:
When I have zl I have issue like you have this hardware problem u can't fix by urself after I call sony send my phone to repair somehow they can't fix then they send a replacement

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] milkidou:
all the same... does not seems to improve anything, when incoming call the phone rings on both speakers after the mod, and not before that's it?

this phone is disapointing, coming from a one (M7) it's quite noticable...
