Hopefully we get a fix soon.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
I'm not quite sure what causes the echo issue, I only got reports from like 1 week time. In the meantime check some other zips from this thread. I'll do a version based on the latest file, we'll see if it fixes anything.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] feydz:
Sorry for the stupid question, but, it works on 0.167?, i´ve flashed the .314 zip, and i have no audio on earphones, in speaker seems it works.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
I'll upload a version for the new FW, hang on.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Updated with new .167 file! Some additional goodies included! :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Sorry I'm a little confused.. From what I've read, NC doesn't work on any rooted 167 Rom correct? How can this mod boost it then? Or does this mod actually fix the NC in 167 rooted roms?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
TBH I have no idea, but I boosted it anyway :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] feydz:
Thanks! Flashed and everything ok. Loud and perfect!! :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] VaLee:

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Atlas:
Did you already found a way to boost notification sounds olokos? Because after this 4.4.4 seems lower than before, and it was already low as F***!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Check this version out and let me know if it's any better as I dont really remember if I boosted that :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Atlas:
Nope, still low. Yes it comes from both speakers but the volume is too damn low, I can't even hear it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kenanffb:
Tried this mod on 314 and 167 - > doesn't have any effect.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Thanks for the report, I'll do something about it when I get some time.

Your recovery fails to flash it then. Someone else also reported that issue and I was correct.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kenanffb:
But it says successfully patched? :confused: any other way to copy the files?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manemzjum:
Same here i also tried coping the files manually which disabled all sounds altogether

this has got to be the most stupid problem ive ever had with a phone what a catastrophic fail on sonys part
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Please try using TWRP. [MENTION=3390528]manemzjum[/MENTION] use the restore zip to get your sound back. In TWRP obviously.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kenanffb:
Just install xposed Framework and the module "Ringer & Notification Volume Unlink in ICS/JB" to set separate volumes. ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] FabianLaRose:
[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] I used ur mod before on my XZ, and on XZ2 on .314 and it really increased the sound.

Ur v1.4 made ringtone a lot louder, but not for notifications. For example in WhatsApp sound picker the ringtone is much louder then when I get a message.

What can be the problem. Thanks in advance :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
I will, hang tight. Weekend is coming! :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] carlsbad28:
Is there any alternative link to download 1.4? Link seems to be broken when clicking Download on Dev-Host
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Link works for me. Click the middle download button (small black one) :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Devzz:
Hey there olokos! Thanks for this mod! Has been excellent on the .314 firmware :highfive: However, the new one rebased on the .167 firmware gives the internal speakers more of a boost and not the headphones? On v1.3 I could play extremely loud music on just the first volume step on my headphones (as long as they were set to "Other" in sound settings and not NC), however, now I have to turn it up to step 3 or 4 to recreate the same loudness. Have you reduced some numbers or has something changed in the .167 firmware in terms of audio?

Thanks again for making this mod! :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Something changed in .167. A lot actually. The hq sound is basically audio playback @ 192 000khz
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] FabianLaRose:
:laugh: TGIF!! :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manemzjum:
+1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Try this version for boosted ringtone + notifications for .167. This is not a flashable zip. You have to extract it and replace it with root explorer or sth else by yourself.

Please test and report so I could upload a new flashable zip. :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] linkazoid:
Perfect!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] sighted:
Sorry if I lost some instruction, but where should I extracto this file to? /system?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Sounds the same as the version in the op to me. Can't really notice a difference. Does it have the other boosts from the version in the op as well?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Did it boost notifications/ringtone for you?

It's 1.4 with headphone boost + additional boosts.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Yea I didn't notice any difference compared to the 1.4 in the op personally. Perhaps someone else can confirm?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] manemzjum:
I've tried this one and every other sound mod

They always seem to make a noticeable difference to the ringtone and general speaker output

But there has never been one to boost the notification alert
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
40 views and just a few reports, well guys, I dont really mind if you test it or not as I do not have the device. I'm doing it purely for your convenience. :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Yea guys, olokos is trying to help us out here, he doesn't even have this device. Please provide some feedback so he knows what works and what doesn't.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mik101:
Was hoping to test this out again as I had good results on versions prior to 314 (I didn't test on 314). I'm reinstalling 167, but the links don't seem to be working on dev host. Thanks folks.

Edit: Nevermind they're working again. It must have just been a hiccup.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Check the page back of this thread for a test version in attachments. Try that one for .167, that's what we're talking about man ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bissa:
notification sound is very low with apps in SMS ,viber ,whatsapp ,gmail but if I test the notification from the sound picker, it is very loud. Maybe there is a hidden settings is defaulted or forcing the notification sound to 40% no matter what volume you set in the settings.

Also the top speaker volume is softer than the end speaker
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Yea I notice the same. When selecting the notification sound from the settings, it sounds nice and loud. But when actually receiving a notification, it's much lower. This mod still at least enables the second speaker which definitely helps.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bissa:
Can you check if the top speaker is producing a little softer sound than the bottom speaker?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mik101:
The test build seems to be working well on my girlfriends phone (D6503 .167 ODEX). I went with the EXR mod (HTC M8 dsp) on my own device, which is also working well.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
The point is whether it boosted notifications volume or not :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Hussainally:
Working great on mine too..thanks
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] FabianLaRose:
It didn't work for me :(

Everything is good except notification sound.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bissa:
Do I need to instal 1.4 first or I can directly use this version?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Pandemic:
Just flash 1.4 on fw .167

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Just flash one file. It doesn't matter which one is first as they all replace a single file.

Backup restore is meant to restore a backup made by my zip.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Shallwhat:
So I noticed after flashing this listening to my music through my aux port on my car sounds like garbage. The only way to get rid of this is to wipe the phone and install the ROM again or flash a nandroid right?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bdithug:
Or restore your backup file
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] bissa:
it is possible to make the internal speaker incalls to be more loud?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mnashfaq:
Lost the original backup.

I flashed the mod twice by mistake, and now I have lost the original backup, is there any way I can revert the sound mod back to stock without the backup, or wiping completely? I don't have a nandroid backup either.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
If you really need it then pull it from some rom or extract ftf yourself. It's useful to know how to do this stuff just in case. [emoji14]
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] tiunilohmu:
Incall speaker not even loud enough, can you look into that?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Indicious Flow:
Is it possible to choose to turn on/off notifications for the Hover mode? Eg. Disabling Music notifications...

Try this mod for all around boost. It should also boost speakers. At your own risk as always.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mirok80:

Yes then make a back up and try, nothing new in .12,

If I had same problem alone,please tell me in what file (maybe number of row) I can change notification volume

Please test this file for a possible echo reduction for in-call loudspeaker.

Not work, the same problem again... (((
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
Please try this one. It should COMPLETELY remove the cause of the echo so the mod would be complete for Z2 on .167 now. :)

Just need reports whether this version actually fixed it so I could update the thread and everyone could see that it got fixed now.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] zavpasha:
No bro! The same
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DennisDD78:
olokos, new f/w is out :) What do you think, to make a new mod using new mixer_path, or it doesn't make any sense and apply old mod on a new f/w? I already applied, it working fine, but what if Sony made a good changes in sound quality on a new f/w? What do you think?

however...i noticed alot of distortion towards higher volumes...did i do something wrong ? :)

If you're using the boost version then it's normal if that's distortion you have is on headphones - there are millions of various headphones and some are able to play louder and some aren't :)

I'm actually a firm believer of the rooting gods, it's like a religion to me: I don't need root but I WANT it above anything else because I want to do to MY device what ever I choose.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] carlos_polanco:
Z2!

I'm in USA so I started to read reviews of the z2 before it arrives in TMOUSA. Must of users complains is for the volume. With this mode I'll be more than pleased :D

What about the in-call volume with normal speaker? is it loud enough? is the developer working on it?

I found an xposed mod called xVolume that will probable work for that :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
You can use 1.0 for now. I'm really busy with my life now. I'll update it when I get more time.

OMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMAOMA

Dude, I truly admire your work on the recoveries and stuff, which I'm not able to understand, yet I've done something that YOU want EVEN with my limited knowledge! O_O You made me really happy too with your words, I didn't expect that some of the big guys might want this mod! :highfive:

Nobody complained about the in-call volume so far, so I don't think that's nessesary to raise that. I can do that, but what for if every1 is fine with what they already have? :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] EazyVG:
In-call volume is quite sufficient, no need to boost; my personal opinion, unless you live night life in the clubs :)

Await .402 update with 150% volume boost for speakers and definitely ringtone, notifications and speakerphone during calls in stereo mode; do not want to see conflicts with 1.0 release as is .69 based mod ... tick tock :)

Thanks for the coding!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] olokos:
You can use 1.0 on .402 fw. I've used file from other firmware on my Z1 and it worked just fine. As long as the Android version stays the same - you can use 1.0 regardless of the firmware. I'll update it, of course. :P

Keep in mind that before I release the 1.1 version then I'm going to post a test version as I do not own the device. :)

You're the only one that still complains about it and since I boosted everything then it's better not to go higher so there wouldn't be any sound issues.

Yep! It's stereo and loud, problem with incoming notification sound is still here, it's stereo but quite
