Well, thank you both, mo120697 and BlAckXpeRia.

I installed the .zip and let the device boot twice (for good). But I'm not really sure I can hear an improvement... :)

[Xperia Z1 General] mo120697:
have you tried this fix with cm12 official nightlies for honami?
[Xperia Z1 General] [Fenix]:
Well no because you will end in a bootloop :p

I love this mod on cm11 (used it with SlimKat after deleted build.prop) because it's a must for audio quality (output/input) but, on cm12, I have only changed "mixer_paths.xml" (adapted this one for cm12) to gain some boost on speaker, but mic gain it's the same :(

I don't know how to mod other files, or how to port this to cm12 and hope OP could to it when he has some free time :fingers-crossed:

CM12 => OP :cool:

Unzip and copy files with a Root Explorer. Set the right permissions.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] xemiw:
Hello!

I have put together a quick and dirty bash script to do this for you. It copies all the files from the patch directory to the proper location and sets permissions. Just unzip the attached file, open any terminal emulator, switch to the patch directory, and type sudo patch.sh.

You can download it from here: https:// dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4195603/AudioFix.zip (sorry, I don't have permission to post links)

(Btw. I have removed the build.prop file, it seems to be way too different from the CM one)

It's because you're not supposed to flash it. You're supposed to manually transfer the files to the respective folders and set the right permissions

[Xperia Z1 General] jackfacespoon:
Ok - there's an option in TWRP to turn off signature checking, but I can't remember exactly where it is - that should stop it aborting flash operations.

i use Smart Voice Recorder to record the voice and since i m using the CM12.1 the sound recorded using the same app is distorted and very smuggled. bt when i use the same app in the stock lollipop sony rom the sound is crystal clear and the sound volume is loud too.

i have tested the mod by you ( marouane80 ) bt i did not see any improvement in the microphone sound recording, its same as the distorted sound. the speaker sound has increased although. help it out with the microphone.

Hi and sorry

where can I put both SYSTEM folders in internal sd?

re: i've just seen the answer some replies above. Thx
[Xperia Z1 General] grapestain.m8:
Thank you for this MOD!

Sound quality and levels are good after the fix for media use, however I have two issues with calls after deploying CM12.1_Xperia_Z1_-_Audio_FIX_Ultimate:

1.) During calls there is an audio loop between the microphone and the speaker meaning I can hear myself. It is happening when the phone is used normally from built in mic to built in ear-speaker (on top of the phone) and also happening between wired headset microphone and wired headphones. The issue is not present in speaker-phone/loudspeaker mode.

2.) A very strange thing: apparently the phone is collecting some kind of a noise from it's surrounding during phone-calls directly audible in the ear-speaker (top of the phone). This is like an oscillating 100-200Hz buzz. If I hold the telephone with a very light grip the noise level is low, but the stronger I grip the phone the stronger the noise is, it can go as loud as the intended sound from the call. It'd be straightforward to say it's direct coupled between my hand and the phone chassis, but the same thing happens with my plastic case on the phone which foreclose any galvanic connection between my hand and the phone, but of course there still can be some capacitive coupling. If I put the phone to the table during call the noise is strong as well. Only happening with the normal ear-speaker; the loudspeaker mode or wired headset has no issues and this whole thing only happening during calls. Apparently it's related to the ear-speaker (on top of the phone) as if I mute the mic during the call the noise is still there. However it's also seem to be related to GSM call only, if I make phone-call over e.g. Viber there's no such noise even though the sound is coming from the top speaker.

I'm having this with cm-12.1-20160325-NIGHTLY-honami on C6903. This is the first time I use CM12.1 so I cannot tell if this is specific to this nightly or to some of my settings, I had no such issues before with stock ROM or CM11.

I was about to uninstall to make sure it was related to this MOD, but apparently my backup of the build.prop failed so I only have an empty file so I cannot properly roll back. I'll try to update to the latest nightly in the next few days as that would overwrite the MOD effectively uninstalling it (as far as I understood) so I'll be able to tell if it's really related to this or not.

Just posted to see meanwhile if anyone else had similar issues. Also I'd appreciate any troubleshooting tips. Thank you!

(I've NOT deployed CM12.1_DSPManager_Fix.)

EDIT @ 30/03/2016:

I've updated to the latest CM nightly (2016-03-29) so the files were reverted to the originals. The issue is gone now so I can confirm it was caused by this mod.

I'll try later to only use some of the files or to look at the changes and apply them one-by-one to figure what's going on. I'm very surprised that no-one else has been effected by this so far...
[Xperia Z1 General] grapestain.m8:
So today I had time and went trough the changes in this FIX compared to what was coming with CM-12.1-20160325-NIGHTLY-honami.

Here's the config working properly for me:

build.prop : not deployed, kept original

I see no reason to replace this file and last time I've replaced I had to delete data for google applications and reboot few times until my gmail app started to work again so I just simply leave it out. For me it doesn't look like audio related file anyway and the amount of changes are huge. Many of the changed info seem to be descriptors of the system and not the audio stack, so I kept the original one from CM.

audio_platform_info.xml : deployed as provided by marouane80

This file was not included with CM, I've deployed it to my phone with no changes just to have it.

audio_policy.conf : deployed as provided by marouane80

This file has very few changes, it added 32kHz sample rate were before there was 8k, 16k and 48k only before. I've deployed it to my phone instead of the one from CM.

media_profiles.xml : not deployed, kept original

There are lot of changes in the file and those does not seem to be related to the audio levels, more like codecs and stuff, so I kept the original from CM as my goal was to mess the least possible with the system.

mixer_paths.xml : merged changes from marouane80 and CM

This file defines the audio levels which I wanted to improve. I've did a line-by-line comparison of the original file from CM and the one from marouane80. I've noticed 3 kind of changes:

a.) changes of audio levels

b.) addition and removal of some paths

c.) changes of ctls under some paths

d.) removal of some explanatory comments

I'm not comfortable with changing the mixer paths so I've only kept the changes of type a.) but not b.), c.) or d.).

Also I had to change the line

<ctl name="IIR1 INP1 Volume" value="80" />

which in CM was

<ctl name="IIR1 INP1 Volume" value="51" />

to

<ctl name="IIR1 INP1 Volume" value="60" />

After all this my phone does not have the issue described in my previous post any more, but I have proper sound levels in calls and recordings, although I may further tune some values later, for example others can hear me too loud when I switch to speakerphone, but generally it's good now.

I cannot find the option to attach files. Let me know if anyone needs my modified mixer_paths.xml which also includes comments about all changes compared to CM.
[Xperia Z1 General] sfreak1:
Works perfect on Z1 C6902

Used the mixer_paths.xml and audio_policy.conf from the original zip and applied it to stock LP 5.1.1 rom and it worked perfectly.

Was having hard time with unable to hear anything using the ear piece speaker. After this fix volume in ear piece speaker has significantly increased to comfortable level,

Thanks a lot for this fix.

Any feedback?

ill be honest, not to hurt your feelings or anything, because that's not what im trying to do.. but why does it matter to me what apps and mods that you decided to use?

haha ouch you hurt me bad :'(....haha not at all XD

-well first off I did this as I like making videos and had no idea what to do so just did this as I am not getting feedback on specific things..

-people can discover new 'mods' xposed framework to download

-to see how AWESOME the NEXUS is :eek:

-because my videos are awesome? O.o

is there any other type of video you would like to see?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] simms22:
ahh..

i think your vids can help more, if they got out more into the public, not really much help on xda though. more of the public is uninformed, as it would help there.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nabil alami:
thats the problem :/ how will they reach if no one is giving feedback sharing or anything lol
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] JJsevol:
I like the video. Music is good for the type of video, +1 to the wallpaper because turbos, intro is cool, +1 to the themes, I like the Settings tiling up animation (not sure if that makes sense).

Only thing I would say is smoother camera handling (e.g. min. 55, min. 2:13-2:15) and the angle you have your phone is good but at some points it's hard to tell what app, or what setting you're doing/using because the very top left is blurry.

Also I can tell I'm bored right now waiting for the wifey because I just spent a lot of time reviewing a 3 minute video lol
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jayRokk:
What's the purpose of the video?

Why not link apps and mods properly with descriptions and instructions.

Why not a step-by-step or how-to?

A 3 minute video I'm forced to watch is useless.

Why spend 3 minutes looking at something?

Now you have to pause, rewind, fast forward parts if you missed something.

Everything written out would save time and not waste everyone else's.

All I see is a video to generate views.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nabil alami:
Thanks for the feedback dude XD. So bout the camera movement I know bout it but the problem is the tripod am using is ****. So I would need to get new equipment for better filming.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nabil alami:
As stated above...I purposely made it without all that because it would be a waste of time. As I have asked what kind of videos people would like to see with no feedback, so I created this for fun. And you are forced? I don't see anyone holding a gun to your head...I mean go dislike, knock yourself out XD

Go with the service! 60 euros is nothing for this kind of fix - I'd imagine more like 250 euros - just so they can skin the customer once more. And you'll have your warranty and water resistance as well, otherwise if you did it yourself I'd seriously doubt it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattM85:
Hi

I am trying to get my old Xperia Play working again. I had no issues during the two years when it was my main phone, but I since have got the HTC One, and let the wife use the Xperia as her second phone. As far as i can tell, the rings on her fingers have damaged the screen. It does not respond to about 90% of commands, but there are some areas on the screen that still work. Typing is a nightmare, you have to turn the phone 90 and 180 degrees for certain letters to work, and some don't work at all...

I am pretty sure that a new screen would fix it, but somebody I work with said that even a new screen would not fix this issue as it's an old phone that relies on pressure on the screen to work.

Please can anyone advise what parts I would need to repair it. I am happy to do it myself, but don't know if it's a lost cause?

Any help would be much appreciated! :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
Xperia play screen is not pressure based. I don't like this kind of people that think they know best. I actually think that you actually can replace a pressure based (capacitive I think?) screen btw.

Anyway, all you need to replace is most probably just a digitizer. It's not that expensive and the repair is not that hard to do.

Here's a replacement guide that I used mainly because it's high resolution and you can actually see which screw originally was, that's really helpful.
