Sorry to dissapoint....

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys & gals, but over at the Athena and Hermes forums and some others over at 4winmobile have been looking into this for some time now and there is a major difference other than the .dll driver.

The Touch has a new technology screen that is completely different from what has been in PPC's before. Most of the software can be ported from the HTC Touch/Elf, and will work on QVGA WM5/6 devices and some conversions will be necessary for our VGA devices, but the actual Cube Touch GUI will NOT work without the right hardware.

see here for more info:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
have to confirm that it is new hardware, and that the plugins/programs have the resolution hard-coded into them :( so nothing useful for our uni yet...

interestingly enough though the biotouch (what they call it) calls use native windows mobile dll's (albeit new functions that previously were not in there, so we can speculate that this isnt a one off and more devices will be seen with these type of screens)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] peek:
dll's and VGA

Basically when I see how they use this touchscreen I see no big difference between an old one.

For the cube GUI the system has only to recognize a "touch & drag" on the screen. If this function isn't in our dll's they could somehow be ported on our uni :D

But the most big problem I see is the VGA resolution.....

Anyone knows the HTC Touch specs? Has it some new and high performance graphic chip (perhaps nvidia or something similar?)

Because we have to consider that VGA = 4x QVGA (number of pixels) and as I know our beatuful Uni hasn't a luxus graphic processor. I remember some benchmarks and compared to other devices it had a somehow slower graphic chip.

I'm afraid that if we can port the gui to Uni on VGA it won't work with decent performance :(

Does anyone know more of the Cube GUI? Is it precalculated (only an animation) or is it a realtime rapresentation of the current objects flipping over the faces of a cube?

To be honest I think it's precalculated graphics... Why make it realtime and performance-cost? The cube turns very fast and it would very difficult to see the difference between a simple animation and a real 3d rendering.

And when we think how many open processes a user has on his pocketpc; I could easly imagine that if we only were listening to music with an mp3 player, with a resident antivirus (lol) and some other background apps....the cube would have big problems to be rendered at a decent framerate.

Ok these are only speculations, I have no idea of how the HTC Touch really works. I only saw the youtube presentation ;)

If the cube won't be ported on Uni... I'll wait for someone to adapt Beryl for PocketPC eheheheh lol :D

Go on folks...

I made some changes in touch rom and it can run on my prophet, but i have alot of bugs like battery bug and touchscreen bug.

Hello and sorry if this was repeated. I sync my contacts from Outlook.com using HTC (m8 & m9) stock mail app. The second mobile number in a contact is always showing as "Car" number not as "Mobile" Number in my phone. Sometimes, some additional strange changes is happening in my contacts details too. My question is this a problem relates to Android, HTC, or MS Exchange service?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Hey guys this is my mod I created for Z3C - I have had confirmation it works on Z3 so thought I would share with you here also.

Please test and provide feedback?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
To the op pricey2009, thank you so much for this mod.

I've been waiting a long time for something similar.

Will test and report back tomorrow.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lemonade747:
How about xLOUD? I only care about it. I have tried many sound mods but still got nothing working.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
This includes xloud as detailed in first post
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lemonade747:
I know, I have tried many sound mods here, with xLOUD included, but it's not working, so I asked just in case
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
OK well for best results with my MOD, change the clearaudio+ setting while listening to music through the speakers.

Hear the difference for yourself ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] vjoom:
Just flash this mod. Havn't test with headphone for max loudness yet. Xloud working now.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Thanks for the feedback hope you like it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] lksosa:
Could you possibly upload this to another file hosting site? Dropbox, Google drive etc

Many thanks for your hard work!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
I haven't had too much time to test properly, the wife is nagging as usual!

However, sound appears clearer and louder. Also, stereo sound works with phone calls. :D

Thanks pricey2009. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] vjoom:
I just home and plug in my headphones.. Warning ⚠.. This mod will blow your ears drum out. ?. Finally we got louder headset . Thank you for developing .
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Lol I did warn about that :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Arju:
The sound is unbelievable!! Finally I can get greater sound out of my device. Thank you very much OP!

Just a quick question though. Has there been any optimization done to the clearaudio+ option? When I turn it on and off while playing music, I definitely hear a difference. Is the purpose to have it on with the mod or are the other options more superior?

My question to [MENTION=3150847]pricey2009[/MENTION] what is your setup? Do you have clearaudio+ on or off? Having it on, does it disable xLoud?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dontbelive:
Is this mod based on sonico by JimRnor
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I have it on or off depending on what im listening to/watching..

It enables all the xloud, clearphase, HTC beats effects etc all at once to enhance the sound.

Different people have different preferences so just experiment with the settings and eq until you are happy :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] coco19821961:
Installed and several reboots model D6603

I have followed all pass for the installation of the mod and when reboot dessapear all icons of the home screem and after the device reboot only. Sorry but my English is poor.

Compilation 23.2.A.1.62 Vodafone_Es used.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
I have a quick question. In the Audio settings, there is ClearAudio+ and sound effects. When opening sound effects, we have clear stereo, clear phase & xLOUD settings. When enabling all options, Clear Phase keeps getting disabled, is that normal?

When listening to music and changing various effects, I don't seem to get any. What would be the best options to choose to test if it's properly working? At the moment, the only effect I can notice is the use of stereo speakers when using loud speaker in a phone call.

Loudspeaker is definitely louder and clearer. It's only when using earphones to listen to music I don't seem to hear any difference when selecting and unselecting different options...

What do you suggest I do with regards to setting options and a way to test if the options are working properly?

If I select ClearAudio+ then sound effects is automatically disabled. However, when disabling ClearAudio+ and going to sound effects, they are enabled. Can I not use both?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Machiavelli45:
Where are the Settings for Beats Audio i dosent found them?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] android404:
Does this have any effect at all?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] quac_quac:
I did restore my fresh backup and try 4.1 without luck :(, video just play normal in youtube. Other apps ( chrome or some music sharing app ) videos are still in slow motion with good sound :). Any suggestion? Thought that because of Xposed ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
You have dual sim device?

If so probably best to use v3 sorry!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] tatsu91:
Installed in D6653 works good from time to time but gave FC when trying to touch the sound settings
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
If you running .62 firmware then you need to remove the SoundEnhancement.apk from the zip before flashing..

This way you can only use clearaudio+ setting to turn the effects on/off

Also make sure you have turned off Nuplayer in developer settings
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :No-Frost::
Have the same slow-motion with other apps or Chrome (vimeo ie). Audio plays perfect but video is in slow motion.

Will try 4.1.

My device is Z3 D6653 with LP. 28

==============

EDIT

==============

Not sure if this mod was the cause but after installing it, wiping caches and rebooting, I'm unable to delete or create content in the internal memory.

It might be something else as I didn't test previously if everything was working fine, though I was able to move the file from one folder to another but I wasn't able to create folders or delete them.

Quite weird what happened.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Gonna try the .62 version cause I just switched back to .62

Edit: It's working fine. No fc or anything.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] fantasyduc:
i have no luck when flashing v4.1 .62 , it's getting failed when flashing done ! ( My FW : D6653 .62 )
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Guto ViP:
Same here... D6643 .62
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Dont worry I have a last update coming that will work for everybody on any lollipop rom..

Some features are being removed though..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Anyone who has had issues please try v5

You will not have the option to turn xloud, clearphase off as they will now all be enabled at once

This is to stop the storage and video skipping issues people were having.

DO A CLEAN INSTALL ON A FRESHLY INSTALLED ROM.

Enjoy
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Would you recommend D6633 dual sim owners to use the latest V5 or stick with V3? What is the difference between V5 and the previous versions?

Thank you pricey2009. Your support and communication is excellent and I appreciate your efforts.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes I would recommend re-installing your ROM from scratch (backup using titanium) then using v5 for dual sim or .62 firmware versions (just to make sure there are no lingering files from previous versions)

v5 is very much stripped down - it contains only a handful of libs/system files compared to the previous versions and does not include any UI for changing the options anymore.

This way I can be certain it will work for .62 and dualsim users, and I am very confident that no-one will get the video skipping or storage issues anymore.

Xloud, clearphase etc are now enabled by default and you will not be able to turn them off however..

(It sounds much better than normal, which is only what matters really)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Thank you so much for your response. Funny thing is I NEVER experienced ANY video skipping or storage issues. Perhaps it was an issue for other non dual sim users?

That said, I'll try the latest V5 mod shortly and report back. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
If you have no issues then just stick with what is working :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tavinsky:
I did a clean install, unfortunately did not work out. I hear no difference. V3 installed.

I have problems with viewing some videos I have on my device as some who sent me.

As my device is the D6633 (dual), you can do something? V5 can help? or it is definitely not compatible with my model?

PS: Can anyone tell me if I install my rom without returning to factory ( only wipe cache, Dalvik) I do not lose my applications?

or if it will work out, and get back my original sound values?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
v5 is for dualsim and .62 firmware
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Guto ViP:
Can i flash another mixer_paths.xml?

Coz i think te another one give more volume... I'm finding very low volume on YouTube and notifications with mixer_paths.xml in V5.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes you can but mixer_paths doesnt change much on lollipop..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Eh I'm sticking with v4.1 on the .62 firmware. I'm not facing any problems anyways
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] qais9:
is this safe for d6616? we just got root...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Backup first if your going to try I cant see why it wouldn't work :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] SportingChap:
Just flashed V5 to my D6616 and it seems to work just fine. Won't be able to test out Bluetooth volume level in the car til tomorrow (which is mostly why I flashed this mod), but audio seems fine and I see no stuttering in video. :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Nabfy:
Hello, i got d6603 and .28 stock rooted rom, the first download for v5 is for me?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Use v4.1 its better

v5 is only for dualsim or .62 firmware
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] dj_richard05:
Hey pricey2009, I believe you had also created a boom mode if I'm not wrong???
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Sqash:

Hey pricey2009, what are your current audio settings and equaliser settings.. Looks like I'm doing some settings wrong... Not getting the ideal config for that sweet spot of perfect bass and treble
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GRGC25:
whenever i install it, it crashes the "audio effects" app. and i can´t make the equalizer work again so the sound stays the same if i keep playing with the equalizer. i deleted data, i wiped cache, i followed your steps but its just not working at all im using a stock rooted lollipop .28 Z3
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Which version are you using?

If v4.1 doesnt work try v3 as that is the most stable/basic version
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Nabfy:
Often i see youtube giving error unsupported video format, is this known problem related to sound mods?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] GRGC25:
yup, its 4.1, how do i get v3?

Distorted Recording

Hi there, been using your mod for quite a while, extremely great sound for speakers :) However, i realised an extremely distorted recording with any earpiece with mic, this is audible even when the having the sensitivity set to low for mic. I tested it on the Jays and also the default one, MH750 ( 2 sets of the same earpiece), i believed the recording volume was boost by accident too? This happens in whatsapp voice chats and even the default sony recording app. Recording is fine without earpiece or with earpiece that does not have mic. Otherwise, there's no other bug found, currently running on the latest version on an original Z3. Appreciate if you can look into this sir ^^. Oh and btw, is there anyway i can boost the sound even more? Volume is loud but more towards the treble side, if i were to boost the bass, it lacks the punch etc. Pretty ideal for high quality/ res audio, but appreciate if it can sound like a Note 3 with fauxsound and bass settings on xD Thanks in advance!

*Phone is not modded with any other things

*New phone rooted on stock rom, and clean flashed the mod

Is it curent to make a rom?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I have made a ROM already, check my signature.. it is called ULTIMUS :)

I'm waiting for 5.1.1 to drop, then I will be working on updates.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Thanks for pointing this out about the microphone level, with my normal usage I would never of noticed..

I will look at fixing it once the 5.1.1 update drops (should be by the end of the month)

Well i tried using both versiosn of this mod, and both with clean install. Xloud enables itself, and there are some problems with facebook video playing, sometimes it just doesnt play and some others, it plays without sound.

Ciao pricey2009. I see it exist new update for my phone. Version .546. Is it compatible your mod?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I will be releasing a update in the next few weeks..

V5 should work fine on newest update, v4.1 and below may cause bugs though

Any suggestions are welcome :)

Hey friend,

<<SERIOUS>>>

I HAVE TOP SPEAKER CRACKLING ISSUE, SINCE I UPDATE TO .28FW,

My question is:

is your rom solve this issue??? I mean solve the top speaker crackling issue??

bcoz when i lower the sound volume to 80% the crackling noise is 98% gone. if lower to 70% its good and no more crackling in 70% volume, but also notification & in-call & music volume low too...

Can I flash your v3 on my d6653 .28fw..??????????

pls reply soon..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I don't think it would fix a hardware problem (as that sounds like what you have) but I suppose it wont hurt to try it out :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
V6 is now on first post - for Android 5.1.1 (.546 FW)

This is now MUCH cleaner than previous versions (no more HTC/other device libs)

It is all Sony STOCK now, just tweaked, still much louder and still gives you similar results to before.

Also Dolby ATMOS should work with no issues at all - just remember to disable ALL the sony sound effects before using it.

Enjoy!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] asjstian:
Will this mod give back opportunity to use sony sound enhancements and stock equalizer across all apps? This was removed from 5.xx on, and now sound enhancements won't work using youtube, wimp (tidal) and so on.. If not, is it possible to implement such a funconality again in this mod? Thnx for your efforts making xperia a even better device ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes it should now work across all apps also try using Dolby atmos on other apps it works for everything snd sounds great :)

Remember to disable Sony effects before using Dolby though, as they will not work together.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gundam_warlock:
Which sony effect should i disable? I tried disable audio setting and music fx in setting > app, and selinux to permissive, but keep getting fc in dolby:confused:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
You need to set SELinux to Permissive first (use SELinux Mode Changer app)

Then just make sure the Sony ones are turned off like this:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gundam_warlock:
selinux already permissive, and all sony effect turned off, but dolby still fc :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Ok I will have a look at it later on
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gundam_warlock:
Thx :)
