Hospital,

So which one is better then for headphone listening......... Noozy or EIZO?

The thing is regarding the sample sizes, the Z3 IS Hi-Res (see article in this paragraph below), but it's like "1080p Hi-Res" (to equate it to TVs) vs "4K Hi-Res". By that I'm referring to the 24-bit/192KHz sample size you mentioned in your post. THAT would qualify as "4K Hi-Res". The Z3's DAC (Digital Audio Converter) only processes up 24-bit/96KHz, per this article. So I just call it "1080p Hi-Res" b/c it's better than CD-Quality (16-bit/44.1KHz, or "720p" sound), and of course still lossless. I think at this point 24/96 is pretty much standard for "minimum Hi-Res". Now what you play it on does matter too. But I think the Z3's 24-bit/96KHz built-in DAC is still really great. The only way to improve it more is to get a stand-alone DAC like the FiiO X1 or X3 or X5. But then for some ppl that's inconvenient b/c like me you want your music and phone on the same device. lol Then it becomes a question of will you notice a difference? Maybe, maybe not. They say with the stand-alone FiiO DACs you have 0% "background hiss", with the Z3 I have to test and see if I'm getting any. Haven't paid attention but will tonight when I try Noozy or EIZO (depending on your answer). But most "audio experts" will argue that a stand-alone DAC beats the ones integrated into even the newest smartphones. They're prob right, but would you notice the diff? Again, maybe, maybe not. I've never tried a stand-alone DAC to know for sure. Well, I did have a Samsung Galaxy 4.2 Player a couple years ago, but I was just playing mp3s on it. Now I've got a small but slowly growing library of Hi-Res FLAC tracks, including 24/96 and 24/192. So hard to compare. It prob did have better sound though.......if only I'd known about FLACs 2 years ago. lol

Yeah I just know that FLAC Level 8 is the best. So no clue there either. lol

I'll give it a look, but it still sounds kinda complicated to me. lol It's ok...... maybe when I see it I'll understand better what you're sayin'. Yeah I have a good sound for ear too...... I try to tune or configure settings and am pretty good at it, but I'd rather not have to if I can avoid it. lol That's why I like PA b/c in most cases their presets work just perfectly. I've only had to create my own custom preset on a small handful of my own songs.

Thanks,

Not at all complicating to use. Really user friendly. I'll even share some settings with you when the time comes. Just throw me a PM, if you struggle with it. Though I'm pretty sure you get it, as soon as you start using it. The way I phrase things, over-complicates.

Noozy is a music player, whereas EIZO Pro is a EQ. They work together really well.

Gotta go to sleep now. So tired and I have work in a few hours. Speak soon. :good:
[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
[MENTION=5874212]RockStar2005[/MENTION] I've tried Eizo as an EQ. Much like V4A, it works with the player you're using to improve the audio. It isn't a player in its own. The good is that it can take bass notes to another dimension, even too far for some tracks! But that was about it for me... The other settings actually make audio sound less crisp and much quieter. Plus, I found that it doesn't always 'apply' when using PowerAmp. It DOES over walkman though. But I find PA outdoes WM in almost every category bar dsee hx. I digress.

So I have pulled eizo out since those bass levels CAN be achieved via PA EQ and bass sliders alone. I really don't know what magic PA does but it really is unparalleled when set up just right. But EIZO does something to the bass that I haven't seen others do without any complicated settings and adjustments. It's a simple toggle on or off.
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Hospital,

I see. Well I'm not really crazy about having to use 2 separate programs. If Noozy is only good when using EIZO, then I'll prob pass on it. I am using PA with the Z3's sound settings, and that's about as complicated as I wanna get.

Maybe I'll change my mind later on, but just looking at the EIZO screenshots gives me the impression that I won't enjoy this experience very much. lol Not sure what most of the options shown even are.

Gonna try the FiiO E11K (vs E6) in a bit. I'll post back here soon to share the results.

Thanks,

RockStar2005

Hey Subhani,

So did you try Noozy out too or only EIZO? Sounds like PA is still your fav then?

I agree that PA's sound quality achievements are quite incredible. I pitted it against WM and even then the bass was just thicker and cleaner than WM's. What I do to help PA on my Z3 is enable the "Clear Bass" option on the EQ screen (Z3's EQ on "Off" though) and jack it up to +10 (max); and to help unleash the sound more on my headphones, I go to the Surround Sound option in Z3's settings as well and enable "Studio". The combination of PA ("Rock" preset in most cases, or else "Bass & Treble"; Tone and Limit on "Off"), Clear Bass max'd out, and Surr Sound at the "Studio" setting equates to a very POWERFUL sound quality experience!

I actually think the "Studio" Surr Sound option does what DSEE HX does but better, so since DSEE HX is native only to WM, but the Surr Sound option isn't, I just use it with PA. Both the ClearAudio+ & Dynamic Normalizer stuff is turned off for me. It doesn't help the sound at all really.

Thanks,

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
Hey Rock. This is actually almost an identical description of how I listen to audio on my Z3! I couldn't agree more.

I have tried Noozy but it didn't add anything over PA so I removed it. Eizo is for those that want much more of an attacking bass and it delivers.

[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Subhani,

Nice! Yeah I think that's the best setup you can have with this phone.

Ok, so maybe I will check out EIZO then. The bass thing sounds good. Thank u (and Hospital) for the recommendation. But wait, I just remembered, Subhani didn't you say that it doesn't always "apply" itself when used with PA?

I got the FiiO E11K portable amp yesterday and tried it out vs the E6. After much back and forth, the E11K I noticed delivered a stronger bass sound than the E6 was able to. For only $30 more, I think it's worth it. Plus the extra wattage (450 vs 100 milliwatts ((mW))) gives it more volume which means you don't have to turn the phone up as high which is good if you want to avoid "background hiss". Though I still had some hiss with the E11K, but maybe slightly less than with the E6. I'm gonna test them again for just a few min tonight to make sure, but I'm prob keeping the E11K mostly b/c of the extra bass it provides.

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Update: Yes, keeping the E11K, and returning the E6. The E11K's bass abilities were much closer to what I was looking for, so I said F it. lol

Yeah EIZO doesn't apply to PA at all for me, speaker or headphone-wise. I even tried it on Walkman and even then it didn't seem to be present at all. I even made sure to go to the Sound menu and enable EIZO from there. Did absolutely nothing. Just uninstalled it.

Oh well. lol Not sure what happened but I love PA anyway so it's all good.

[Xperia Z3 General] Cryssie:
I purchased the Sony MDR-EX450 earplugs to go with my shiny new mothership. Some really high end headphones were not an option for both practical and budget reasons and I thought these would play nicely with the Z3.

Alas, we had a lot of trouble making them sound ok. The sound was quite woolly and warbled, especially in the mid range. My boyfriend is a soundtech and we are both musicians and BF spend a good time playing with the walkman app and all the settings of the phone. He could not make them sound acceptable.

In the end we switched all the special options of, went back to poweramp and after a little fiddling with the EQ it now sounds good.

Kind of a shame because after I found out how to stop the walkman app from trying to sell me One Direction it somewhat grew on me.

Moral of the story: I LOVE the high quality audio option but I believe there are some software kinks to iron out here and there.
[Xperia Z3 General] :
The sound quality is really impressive when comparing with other phones. It has a good clarity.
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Hi Cryssie,

When it comes to Walkman, for those that DON'T have PA, I recommend using the "Soul" preset. I compared it to all the other Walkman presets, and it was superior to them all ("Folk" was a close second). The odd thing is, all "Soul" does is boost the mid-range............that's it. The other bands just stay flat. But somehow in this 5-band EQ, this is what sounded best.

Now if you DO have PA, then yeah, I just use "Rock" and it is best 99% of the time. I keep Tone and Limit off. You just don't need them. Now, there are certain songs I have where the guitar is cranked up WAY too high and it hurts my ears to listen to them in "Rock". Examples include several tracks off Interpol's 2nd album "Antics", and I think one or two R.E.M. songs. In these rare situations, I use the "Bass & Treble" preset in PA, and it works by

perfectly containing

the guitar and beefs up the bass as well to support that. Download the song "NARC" or "Not Even Jail" by Interpol and try playing them without then with "Bass and Treble", and you will clearly hear the difference, whether on headphones or in the car. There is a way to both make "Rock" your default preset, and also to make "Bass and Treble" supersede that default as well. If I hadn't explained it in this thread and you wanna know, simply PM me and I'll be happy to explain. It's REALLY easy. The only thing is, even if you export your settings (aka save them as a backup for future importing), the presets you choose as default and "superseding" won't stick, so you'll have to do it over again if you get a new phone, etc. So keep that in mind.

Dasith........ yes, I agree. The only real competitor it has is the HTC One M8 (my former phone until 10/29). That phone as stock MAY have better speakers (it's very close IMO, esp if you enable Surround Sound for the speakers on the Z3), but it only really can compete with the Z3 in sound for headphones and overall if you root it like I did and install the Harman/Kardon mod on it. BoomSound alone (M8 stock) can't compete. (See my recent postings for Z3 settings if you're interested.)

[Zooper Widget General] rogerhnn:
Hello, Its possible to use bitmaps with conditioins, for example, if there's a missing call the bitmap change?
[Zooper Widget General] Rickav:
Define the premises of "bitmap change".

For example, as a part of my setup, whenever I receive a missed call, I have set a condition for my bitmap to "light up" like this:

- Add a Zooper widget to your homescreen > Add the Bitmap module you want for the missed call icon

- Set its normal opacity at 100

- Add this code to its Advanced Parameters:

$#SMCALLS#=0?[bo]#30ffffff[/bo]$

.

This will lead to the bitmap staying "dim" when there are no missed calls and "light up" when there are.

If you want to completely change the bitmap image, you can do that too within the Advanced Parameters. Here, for simplicity's sake, we will assume that you have a bitmap called "Image.png" in a folder called "Folder" on your Internal SD Card.

- Add a Zooper widget to your homescreen > Add the Bitmap module you want for the missed call icon

- In order to re-direct to a different bitmap when there are no missed calls, add this code to its Advanced Parameters: (without the space after /b)

$#SMCALLS#=0?[b]/storage/emulated/0/Folder/Image.png[/b ]$

- (Your path to your image on your device will be different so keep that in mind).

This will result in the no missed call icon and won't trigger any changes until you receive a missed call.

Let me know if I helped.
[Zooper Widget General] rogerhnn:
Thanks for your help!

What I managed to do was to hide the icon if there's no calls using this:

[ox]$#SMCALLS#=0?500$[/ox]

So, if there's no calls it moves the icon 500 in the X axis, otherwise it will display it.

We need a thread only about advanced parameters! :laugh:
[Zooper Widget General] Rickav:
Sure, if it works for you, that's all you need. An alternative could be $#SMCALLS#=0?[bo]#00000000[/bo]$ which would achieve the same result except this one makes the bitmap transparent instead of moving it. Same difference, I guess you could say.

As far as the advanced parameters only thread goes, there is just so much potential and possibilities in the ways of using them that I don't think any thread could contain them all.

Having said that, this Q&A thread makes an attempt to fill a void in helping members at any level on their way to achieve their aim in Zooper.

Furthermore, this reference-only thread by the pretty awesome [MENTION=2470020]kwerdenker[/MENTION] lists a number of invaluable ready-made advanced parameters to be used as required.

Cheers.

Hello,

I present to you very shortly and quickly the new MIUI ROM (multi-language) translated from the Official ROM for OnePlus One : ROM MIUI 4.9.5 (V5). This is the first translation of the first official release !

To download and try this address :

http://media.celogeek.com/roms/android/miui/4.9.12/xiaomi.eu_multi_A0001_4.9.12_v5-4.4.zip (languages ​​available here : http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/4-9-12.25694/)

Mirror [4.9.5] : https://mega.co.nz/#!qUtmUbAR!37QBGpwdOjkOma_3gY-rf0h6aOjWdSkeM4s_8grYp_w

Installation MIUI (or other ROM flashable with custom recovery) :

I remind you that neither I nor the forum we take responsibility for anything, everyone is aware of that is going to do.

Let's go :

1. Download the MIUI ROM and put it in your phone storage

2. Make sure your phone is properly detected by your PC

3. Boot phone in Bootloader Mode (Volume Up and Power) and flash a custom recovery like CWM Advanced Edition Philz Touch (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860)

4. Reboot in Recovery Mode (Volume Down and Power) and choose :

- Wipe and Format Options -> Clean to Install a New ROM (wipe datas, cache & dalvik-cache)

- or with other custom recovery : wipe data/factory reset -> wipe cache partition

5. After install the ROM, choose :

- Install Zip -> Choose zip from /sdcard -> select your ROM MIUI -> Reboot System Now

- or with other custom recovery : apply update -> choose from internal storage -> 0/ -> MIUI rom -> reboot system now

6. Enjoy MIUI v5 for OPO !

Notes:

If 4G is not enabled, use this procedure with the phone keypad *#*#4636#*#* then "phone information" -> "Set preferred network type" -> "TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE" (or LTE/gsm auto)

Good flash ;)

[ONE Android Development] jimmydee62:
Lesson learned

I decided to try this rom so I figured I would do the safe thing and went into recovery and did a complete back up and then installed this rom. Didn't really like it so I thought I would go back and restore my previous rom guess what my custom recovery was gone and all my roms that were stored on my phone. Had to redo everything which took a very long time. So imo use multi rom and install along side of other rom so that you can go back and forth between them. That way you can decide which one you want to use as your daily rom.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.greeff:
In a thread under the TF300T devices, nikybiasion, started a thread for the Unofficial Cyanogenmod 11.0 for ME301T. It's a beautiful ROM, with all the Cyanogenmod goodness I love in my Android devices.

I notice one issue in that although I can encrypt the data partition my device will not boot further after I entered the password. It gets stuck showing the little Android picture and never proceeds to the CM boot animation. I suspect it may be something specific to my device (something I did while playing with other roms). I'd appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction in analysing this problem.

Usually I perform adb logcat to see what error messages pop up (very useful once when the data partition had no space left for the encryption metadata in the footer on the stock rom - my fault) but I have no idea how to get logs after rebooting when encryption successfully finished. So first step is I'd like to get to the logs - any idea how I can do this having rebooted after encryption is done?

Regards

More information on ME310T encrypted boot problem

I flashed the Crombi-KK rom today (wow, what an awesome compilation) but unfortunately I'm experiencing the same problem as before with booting with an encrypted data partition.

Fortunately adb responds as soon as Crombi starts to boot. Attached is the logcat.

Presumably the following points to the problem:

I'm not sure what to make of it though. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.greeff:
Possible cause for non boot with encrypted data partition on ME301T

I think I might have found a possible cause for this problem.

As indicated above the error indicates that data cannot be unmounted.

It turns out data is used for temporary space

however it cannot be unmounted as there is another partition mounted under /data/wifimac

If I unmount this directory before I enter my password the device boots normally. I have just tried this with Crombi-KK rom and will attempt to do the same with CM11 Unofficial for the ME301T.

Regards

Paul
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.greeff:
Problem solved ME301T now boots past encryption

I still can't get logcat output from CM11 Unofficial. What I did notice with the Crombi-KK ROM is that as in the previous post the failure occurs when the /data directory fails to unmount before the encrypted partition is mounted.

On Crombi it also appears that Wifi is broken. It looks like /data/wifimac does not unmount. An application that needs to run in order to build nvram.txt, wifimacwriter, fails because the file /data/wifimac/wifi_mac is missing (partition mmcblk0p5). Creating this file solved this problem and Crombi seems to boot past encryption.

It is possible that in my vigorous flashing and wiping of various roms I whacked or corrupted the partition mmcblk0p5 containing this information. Although strictly not necessary, it seems wifimacwriter fails if the files don't at least exist.

In short, the fix is as follows:

# mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /mnt/sdcard/tmp/ # Any convenient mount point will do
# touch /mnt/sdcard/tmp/wifi_mac
# reboot

So it seems my hypothesis in post 1, that the problem might be specific to my tablet, was correct - I broke it. You may all disregard these 4 posts. Carry on, nothing to see here...
