"Poweramp"musicfx not showing after flashing.. Can u fix it??
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] sengkoh:
found a problem on v10 , when you calling someone, your down loud speaker will leak some sound, but it can solve by using v9 mixer_paths.xml

other than that no problem ,great sound mod , i love it
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
What u mean by leak some sound?,
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] sengkoh:
actually when make a phone call hearing from top earpiece ,but down there speaker also have some sound

i not sure that is a problem or not.

but after i use v9 mixer_paths.xml fix the problem =)

Hi everyone.

I've got a question.

I have bluetooth headphones (MDR-10RBT) and I wanna know if the mod of libraries applies also in headphones.

Sorry if this has been answered before but I've read til here and I haven't seen the same question.

Congrats, developer. This mod is so f*ckn' awesome.

[MENTION=4170892]dontbelive[/MENTION] Mirror for v11

http://d-h.st/Wb3
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] mitsosJL:
7, 7.5, 8, 9 were very good everyone better from the previous one( i tried them all yesterday) . V10 for some reason didn't work, the earpiece didn't produce any sound at all

Now I will try the v11. (i hope to be even better from the others :) )

V11 amazing
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] diamantericos:
Yup same issue as v10 as stated before no in call bluetooth gotta use mixer path from v9
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] ruggyboss:
Just flashed v11... I think it's fuc.king perfect, didn't call anyone yet but who gives a fck about echo, even if it's there won't revert to v10..

A HUGE thank to [MENTION=4170892]dontbelive[/MENTION] , amazing job
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] jontr:
If you don't use your phone as a PHONE, then you don't care about echo. for me it's huge issue, as that's no.1 purpose of my Xperia - to make and receive calls. and if for 3rd party it's not comfortable to talk to me, because he/she hears everything he/she just said, then it's useless.

And I'm still having same issue - echo, echo, echo.

Can someone please post proper instructions with step-by-step on how to install that mod?

I just flash it in Recovery Mode, but every single one I tried is causing problems. And flashing STOCK files doesn't fix it - I have to restore the whole ROM, so I'm not bothering to try out v11, as v10 was echoing same as v8 and v9.

I tried that on Stock ROM v108, v118, v133 and on CrisKello ROM - always problem with echo. If you don't call anyone, then it's perfect, but if you call other people, then it's simply useless in my opinion.

I wish the OP would create a MOD, that would ONLY enable the stereo play in loud mode, and no messing with other settings, microphone, etc. - if it's possible of course.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Blueducklll:
I hope to install link

thank you very much
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] jee3004:
Mic still not working on loudspeaker
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
It means I have to revert back to z1 Mixer_paths.xml, okay thanks ?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] ruggyboss:
Well, if you want to keep the mod then try lowering volume a bit when calling.. You'll here less, but echo won't be heard
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] jontr:
I tried at MINIMUM volume and there was still echo heard on the other side. Maybe it's me doing something wrong, maybe it's because I'm on Stock, but it just doesn't work (for me).
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
Thanks to this post for whom echo persist

Everything working fine here, no bugs at all! Just a little distortion for me on speakers, solved reducing the volume on channels to: RX7 =>93 and RX1 =>99. This numbers are louder enough for me.

Thanks again! This mod is a milestone in the Z1 history!

Speaker does not work when you make a call only top handset rings . In xperia z1
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] ___ZerO:
Hi.

I love your mod. But maybe I did something wrong. Same as above, the speaker doesn't work in a call. Also in calls with Bluetooth headphones. I've got no sound in headphones just in the movil.

Thank you

P.s: this just happened in v10 and 11. Bluetooth headphones worked in calls in the other versions.

One "bug" i noticed în v11 - when i listen to FM radio through headphones, if i go to the radio's options to select the sound through the loud speaker, the radio's sound goes through phone's speakers and through one headphone as well.

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] David78130:
For me, no..
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
So who like v10? Cuz I re-base everything on v10 bcuz all of you say quality is much better on it, and for me I can confirm it is and the stereo sound is much better on v10 and it's more equal the sound of speakers, , just thank this post I wrote now so I can see how many would like to see next version with v10 rebased files, for those who want bass they can stay on v12 or v11 :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] hsnk:
Some time No sound in calling ?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] eddvys:
Sorry [MENTION=4170892]dontbelive[/MENTION] but v12 is horrible(that's just my opinion), I came back to stock and will wait further improvements. V10 or v11 was way better. With v12 can hear some unnecessary cracking and feels like sound is coming from end of the corridor. Sorry if being negative just a feedback and my own experience :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] hasn4179:
I dont know, but i am having a fantastic time with v12, v11 and v10 both produced some cracking at max volume but in v12, i didnot hear a single crackling even at max volume (both in clearaudio+ and your equalizer) and i never had that echo issue either in any of the versions

I think these problems are specifically model related
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] albertobom:
V12 it's perfect for me the best one yet. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
I wonder how to give more power to the earpiece more voltage, same voltage like the loudspeaker so earpiece much better sound quality, it must be possible, bcuz the earpiece speaker is not that bad it just have less output energy, it must be raised, I really wonder if that us possible with custom kernel or even more better without custom kernel and just write a script into the pre_hw_Config.sh file it must be possible somehow
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] John.D..:
It will not be dangerous for the membrane speakers?)

PS v10 super, waiting for another Pure stereo, I like the clean sound, alarm clock for example has a very clean and loud, as well, and call)

With version 12 I have problems with headphones left someone else has the same problem.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] hasn4179:
It might be due to poor quality headphones, at first i also had a pair of headphones which i think were good, but they never produced good bass and i used to blame mods :p

Then i bought sony headphones which can produce really nice bass and crip treble (my whole head starts vibrating at very low frequency bass lol)...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] :
The top speaker isn't balanced with the bottom speaker for me in v12
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] iman-dva:
Q?

hey bro !!! this is nice mod !!! you are genius man :laugh::laugh:

but i have one question !! i don't wanna have stereo mod ! i just want to have good quality and loud sound from my loudspeaker not earpiece and headphone !! which version can do it for me ???

and how can i revert back this mod to stock without flashing rom ???
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
I could boost the earpiece twice louder and no distort for me at all, and I can promise it is same loud as the loudspeaker, I decrease db of earpiece and push one extra rx1 line for earpiece :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] BlackSoulxxx:
Great! Can you also fix the left stereo channel output ?(it good on headset but bad at speaker, for example if you listen to song which had left channel as voice you will not hear it, except background music)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] ruggyboss:
Know you already answered this question, but are you sure raising voltage for earpiece won't damage it? I don't even know where to find specifics for that component, if you know then I hope you are sure of what you are doing! You know, we might see some phones causing nuclear explosions hahah
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
Actually I found out I was searching on internet abt this and if you decrease the dB then automatically the voltage will be decreased, to normally on my other versions I have 3dB and voltage will be 2x louder and it can be raised up to 6dB but 6dB causing lot of distort like my old versions v1 till v4 after that I only used 3dB now I'm using 1,5dB but I busy earpiece to play everything triple so volume raised in still looking into it be patient :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
Im looking im fixing some bugs
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
Soo my mod is near to perfection, earpiece is much stronger now and sound like it has reverb hall effect

Earpiece changes I did is

3dB (normal I did always is 1,5dB and stock is 6dB)

Rx1 mix INP1 (normal I did)

And I added

Rx1 mix INP2

Rx1 mix INP3

So it will make triple sound produce on earpiece :) now more loud and almost no distort

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] mitsosJL:
Clearly noticeable change in sound quality on the earpiece (in my opinion until now) and the sound is almost equal (I think the earpiece needs a bit more boost on its volume)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] fer2503:
someone can say if in v12 and v13 there is echo during call?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] cyrom:
Perfect! You magically turned my z1 into htc one!! Sounds almost identical. (v13) thank you dontbelieve
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] hasn4179:
Almost identical, still need to tilt for some of the songs

But still, there has to be a tradeoff, either safety of earpiece + lower volume of speaker, or risk of damaging earpiece + same loudness from both speakers...

I think the only thing left is somehow balancing the voice in any song, as they are the ones which make it feel like speakers are not balanced, but as long as there is music playing with almost no voice, its identical output for both speakers for me
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] eddvys:

EDIT: As it appears music stop even if I don't press anything... Maybe launcher has to do something with it? Using nova. Nope its not :D grr. Installed zip again, cleared cache/dalvik still the same. Had a moment to enjoy sound quality for like 5s already liked it! :laugh::highfive:
