Got tired of waiting for an update for the .62 firmware so I went ahead and flash the .28 firmware. I have to say I'm loving the mod
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ravensergio:
I bought a Z3 a week ago, and i do love it ,but the sound volumes were disappointing for me.Then i installed this mod, and is working beautifully on my D6603 / 23.1.A.1.28 firmware with locked bootloader .I don't know if V2 has BOOM mode in it or not, but i really cant set my volume to max with the headphones plugged in, that`s how loud it is now.

Thank you a bunch.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] strongylad28:
This mod has made about 70% of the videos I try to stream go funny. They stutter and don't play properly. Anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] SquallPT:
Installed but no boost in sound to me.

Going to make a fresh install to see if it helps.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
V3 coming soon (next week or so)

Hope to fix all the issues people are having and add a few new bits also.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Hope it supports .62 firmware too
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Update to v3

Now updated to V3 + Boom Mode v2

Added some new bits including extra in-call clarity

Have cleaned up the mod overall and I have tried to eliminate any problems with storage showing low, skippy videos etc that people were having

Please test and provide feedback..

Enjoy

I saw you Sound Mod deeply and found that You just copy my Mod v5.3 files into you rom.

This is against the XDA Rules. Remove or change you Mod Otherwise i will report about this.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Actually if you have a look this mod is based on the alpha posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/audiomod-dreamonmusic-g-plux-v11z-t2900697

Which YKG-JimRnor has clearly stated can be used freely for other people to change/include etc,

4)This mod is FULLY OPENED, which means you can edit the mod itself or you can use it as your ROM's audio mod,

I have just added together a lot of other mods with that from other devices from around the XDA forums.

Bug fixing etc is done by myself as the things I have included are not compatible with these devices.

Your mod is also based on that alpha.. so I think we both need to credit YKG-JimRnor for his hard work,

But do not dare claim it is your work either, because it is not!

(You even left the DoMC G-PluX.txt file in system/etc in the thing you have posted)

To quote from that file:

++THIS IS THE TXT FILES TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED DOMC G-PLUX ON YOUR DEVICE++

=THIS IS THE MOD DEVELOPED BY TEAM YKG LNHJ AND IT DON'T INCLUDE IT WITHOUT ANY PERMISSION!=

=DoMC G-PluX Version: Sennei V17

Developed by: LNHJ aka |21)con

Don't be so quick to point fingers because you will just make yourself look silly.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zohaib0001:
[MENTION=3150847]pricey2009[/MENTION]

Yes you can use YKG-JimRnor Files

But

You can not use those files which i modified.

Take care
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] vjoom:
Just install the new update. The overall quality sound of the speaker is louder and more clearer. The new boom sound doesn't seem to take effect.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
[MENTION=4045998]zohaib0001[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3150847]pricey2009[/MENTION] I think you both should PM each other if you care about your reputation. It's not nice to argue infront of your users ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Huey85:
Weird I installed the new update as well as the new boomsound but I'm getting no sound at all.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Clean install?

Try again maybe.. Working fine here :)

EDIT: Also make sure to clear cache/dalvik cache
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
How about which is the better mod? :laugh:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Huey85:
Nope wasn't a clean install - I installed it on top of your previous version of the sound mod and boom mode (cleared cache/dalvik as well).

I don't know how to do a clean install apart from re-flashing the ROM and then retrying to flash your new versions of the sound/boom mods. Didn't make a backup prior to installing the first mod

EDIT: OK so I reflashed the ROM (dirty flash) and reinstalled the sound mod and boom mode and all working great. It'd be awesome if future versions could just be installed on top of older versions. Thanks for your awesome work BTW
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Looks like it doesn't work on .62 firmware. Tried it and I can't access the Sound effects settings under the Music/Walkman app. It just stays at the settings screen.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
@ pricey2009, you mentioned last week you'd look at a fix in getting the mod fully working with the D6633 dual sim edition.

What do you suggest to get it working as it should?

I just flashed the latest V3 update but see no difference. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Please try v3.1

I have just uploaded and report back?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Thanks for your quick reply pricey!

I've just flashed the latest V3.1 update and finally I can feel a difference!

Sound is definitely louder, clearer and there is more treble!

Also, dolby is finally working, it is visible in the app menu and launches without issues.

Well done! :good:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Great, thanks for confirming - we are getting closer to a final edition of this mod then!

Once this project is complete and working for all, I am planning to create a close-to-stock ROM with a bucket load of mods .. stay tuned
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Sqash:
Good to hear.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Huey85:
Any difference between v3.1 compared to v3 apart from the d6633 compatibility?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
About to upload v3.2, so no point answering that right now :)

What's new in v3.2:

-Added Dolby again

-Removed un-used files/script lines

-Have tried to add support for .62 firmware (whoever is running .62 please test and provide feedback)

-Boom mode is now included as default - mixer_paths no longer defines the volumes

-Now compatible with Dual-sim editions (D6633 etc)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Huey85:
Haha no worries. Can I install on top of v3 sound mod and boomsound v2 or does it need to be a clean install?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yup you can install over the top!

Would still get best results on a clean install as always though..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Excellent, great to hear. I've just installed the latest V3.2 update and here is my feedback.

Sound has further improved and is even louder due to the integrated boom, so that's a positive!

Phone sounds and ringtones/alerts are far louder.

Dolby is working as it was previously and sounds great. There is however one issue. When launching Dolby Atmos, I get ''unfortunately, Dolby Atmos has stopped working'' . Is that normal?

Aside from this the latest V3.2 sounds great and is even louder than 3.1.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Ahh, for the Dolby Atmos app to work correctly you will need to set selinux to permissive (find the SELinux Mode Changer apk for that)

I will add that to the instructions..

EDIT - Turns out the Atmos app is now bugging out on my phone - I have changed it back to the standard Dolby app which is now working flawlessly

Please download v3.2 again (as it has been amended) and all should be well :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Dolby Atmos still crashes despite downloading the latest V3.2. Even when using SELinux Mode Changer and using permissive it still crashes.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Sorry yes you will need to delete the Dolby Atmos app and just use the normal one which is now included..

The Atmos one is too buggy right now, it is still not ported properly - as it is only included with the latest Huawei phones.

If you are not restoring backup first, just make sure to remove the following two folders:

As

AsUI

from system/app

EDIT - I am thinking of just removing Dolby as it causes too many issues and doesn't give much of an effect anyway.. let me know what you think.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Whilst the Dolby app does make a difference, I feel the quality is reduced and the sound is too boomy. Sound is far better and clearer with Dolby turned off.

That said, turning on the Dolby effect heavily increases the volume. This is good should the source have low audio output or simply not loud enough. However, the sound is more boomy and muffled.

Personally I think the mod is perfect without the need of having Dolby.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Right OK I think I've made my mind up, Dolby will now be removed again and I will post a V4 shortly - this will be the last update for this mod.

Then I can start work on my new ROM..

EDIT: v4 is now up, this is the last update for this mod (sorry about the three updates in one day lol),

For this final version, it would be advised to flash on a clean install however you should get away with doing a dirty flash ;)

I am now turning my attentions to an all-in-one stock ROM which will include this mod along with a lot more..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ThatGuyLookingForAdvice:
So if you're like me and u forgot to make a backup... all u have to do is flash the system from a previous backup as long as it's the same version no need to flash the data also to creator of this mod tyvm much love to you my good sir
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] shawnaye:
Anyone knows if it's working with 1.62?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Looks like it's not working for .62. Still stuck at the Music settings menu and then it crashes. So yeah.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Please try this fix (attached) and let me know if it works for you?

Do this after flashing v4 of course :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Yep. Still not working. I must add that on boot it shows "Device has stopped working". Ignored it as it does not affect anything (I think). Then on the Music settings when I press Sound effects, it takes some time to load but it does not load. It instead goes to Hangouts and Hangouts crashes. Weird. Also I wiped dalvik cache and cache after flashing.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I cant workout what they have changed in. 62.. Very strange.

Is the. 62 fw actually worth updating to? I.e any better than. 28

(I thought it was for China only)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
I don't know. I kinda have a habit of using firmwares that came with my device. If you don't need me to test anything, I might go use another .28 firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Would of liked to get it working for .62 but I think Sony have changed something in the settings.apk, and I cannot figure out what that is (frustrating)

You can still install this mod on .62 FW however, you just need to remove the SoundEnhancement.apk from the zip first.

(Xloud will be constantly on with no setting to turn it off/on though)

I do recommend using .28 FW though, as its more compatible with all the mods around XDA (including this)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Should I go to .28? I mean I could stay if you want me to. I can help test out your mod since it's the holidays and I have a lot of free time. But if you no longer want to test for .62, then i'll just go to .28. Your pick. I don't really mind.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Id go over to. 28 if I were you as I think this mod is now finished (even though it doesn't support. 62)

I will be creating an entire ROM soon, so maybe you could help test that for me ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Alright. Good luck on your ROM :P

Edit: You should update your Current Project under signature ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Done, I have called the new ROM "Ultimus"

Will begin working on it at the weekend and hopefully have a release in a couple of weeks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
Back on .28. Everything running smooth.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Installed version 4 and get force close when trying to turn off x loud
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I know what is causing this -

I have just uploaded v4 again now with a fix for that, please try it and confirm if it still happens or not?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
In op is it
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes new one is in the op (replaced the file on mega)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
Will try and report back soon

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Works perfect now,thanks buddy :thumbup:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Great thanks for confirming, enjoy
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
No problem thanks for the fix
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Sounds great, I'm sure your new rom will rock! By the way, I like the name for your rom, sounds unique and great at the same time. Best of luck with it. As long as you keep the Sony settings, ClearAudio/Phase/Xloud, I am more than willing to test and try your upcoming rom!

Any extras such as themes, dark/black skin themes are a must have since I like everything black with white text!

And please do support dual sim D6633!! Currently, every rom available does not support the dual sim edition & won't even allow me to flash!

Ps. Just flashed the latest final V4 sound mod. Works perfectly, thank you once again. Looking forward to trying out your soon to come rom! :good:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
V3 works perfectly on my D6603, however when i updated to V4, my settings --> audio settings FCs. Reverted to V3 and all is fine again, also i have no FC with v3 turning off xloud:what:
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Sqash:
Some ideas for your rom. Make an aroma installer than you can make an option to remove bloatware, to add mods (with the permissions of the dev), integrate xposed with some modules for example.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yup aroma is already in the plan lol

Will take a while to build a test version give it two weeks or so :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
After updating to v4 try to clear the data for the sound settings app in system settings/apps/all apps
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Arju:
[MENTION=3150847]pricey2009[/MENTION] are you going to make a ROM for the Z3 too or only the Z3 compact?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
It will be for both :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Thanks but i already tried that :) also clearing dalvik & cache, but im perfectly happy on V3, its working like a bomb, thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Ok I will add v3 back to the first post in case anyone else needs it in future ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] bodomfan:
What's the difference between v3 and v4
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Only a couple of lib files and script lines, v4 is just cleaner as those lib files/script lines are no longer used.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Agreed. I think V3 & V3.1 were the best ones.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ThatGuyLookingForAdvice:
is the rom "ultimus" going to be a stock based or no?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes it will be stock based, but it will be heavily debloated and will be adding a lot of mods
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Quick question. I still have V3.1. Would you recommend V3 or V3.1? What is the difference? Thanks pricey!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
v3.1 has had some useless script lines removed so not much of a difference between that and v3 - you should stick with v3.1 if its all working OK for you.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] kanej2006:
Thanks bro. I'm just trying out V3.1 once again. Problem is from V3 onwards they are all very good and there is little difference between them!

I think the best sound mod was V3 & V3.1... The only issue I had with V4 was some hissing whilst making and receiving phone calls, almost as if the call volume was increased too much.

However, in the V3 series, it is just perfect, both sound in music/media playback and call volume/clearness was great.

I guess it's a personal preference. Previously, I used to own the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The soundmod I was using had 15 updates!!

Right the way from V to V15. Of course each person had his favourite sounding mod. Most liked V10, others V14 & 15.

In your case, V3 seems to be the best one.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
I did some research and found that the changes on the .62 firmware are these:

Added Wireless LDAC support in SoundEnhancement.apk ( http://www.sony-asia.com/microsite/hiresaudio/ldac.html ).

An updated "lib/soundfx/libsonysweffect.so" file, which is responsible for all Sony sound effects, and without it the sound is poor in volume and quality. Most likely updated to support LDAC, not sure though.

Some updated APKs and fixes in camera add-ons.

I think the first 2 is the cause of the problem. Just informing you if you don't know.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Very good, that makes sense now :)

They have obviously listened to some of the complaints about the sound quality on lollipop, however they haven't improved it much it seems.

If I get time I might update this for .62 onwards, but I'm obviously looking at doing the ROM first.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
No worries. I'm already at .28 so I can wait for .62 update. Concentrate on your ROM first.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ThatGuyLookingForAdvice:
I see thank you for quick reply :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :No-Frost::
Ok, after reading all 16 pages (I'm at work... Yay, I'm getting paid by surfing XDA) I will go ahead an try this mod.

I've really interested on your post where you said you'r gonna make a close to stock rom with improvement. Looking forward to it.

Right now I'm using FW 23.1.A.1.28 D6653

Keep up the good work :D I love close to stock roms with improvements (Used to have HTC devices and always used Android Revolution HD).

PS: I would love to buy you some beers but right now I'm unable to :( sorry mate...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] brianblack:
Hi man, thanks for your mod, i still like v3 better than v4 because i have a problem with v4 :( the audio settings has stopped when i turn on dynamic nomalizer,clearphase,Can you tell me how to fix it ;) thank you
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Just use v3 as it will not make any difference to the sound you get by using v4 :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] duch1385:
Is this works on Xperia z6633?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes, use v3 as it seems to be more compatible than v4 with dual-sim devices.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] butman:
What if i have v2 installed and i want v4?

I just flash and overwrite v4 over v2? Or i must restore my backup and flash again clean?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Just flash over - no need to restore
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tavinsky:
Thanks for the excelent work.

I installed the V4, in Xperia Z3 dual sim, I did all the steps as instructed at the start. However, I find no difference, I changed the audio settings to test differences, but can not find them.

Is it possible that the V4 not work with Dual sim, and must use in the V3 ??

I have some problems playing some videos after you install, someone else happens?

Any help, very grateful.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I recommend using v3 for dual sim devices.. It just seems to work better

Do it with a clean install for best results
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tavinsky:
Thank you for your prompt response, how to do a clean install?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I mean a clean rom install:

Wipe phone and install rom from scratch

This just prevents any issues you may have
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Tavinsky:
Oops! Okay, thanks, I will, then I tell them if I had any problems.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TrevorAshley:
Sorry, its working. My bad.

Download link for v4 in op is not working.?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Guto ViP:
Im in LL .62, this mod will work totally?

Good job, [MENTION=3150847]pricey2009[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] :
He hasn't updated it to support .62.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Guto ViP:
Thanks, I will wait for this update [emoji1]
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] TrevorAshley:
Messed up my video app and videos don't play right with other third party apps... V4 ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Try v3 instead

EDIT: Also you must turn off NuPlayer in developer options (as per the instructions) or you will have issues with videos just like you describe.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
I have just uploaded v4.1.

This may or may not fix some issues as I have tried to tweak the setup of the files/script and have removed some suspected problem files..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
You can have this working on .62 firmware, if you delete the SoundEnhancement.apk from the zip before flashing it.

Then you must use clearaudio+ setting to turn this mod on or off.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] quac_quac:
So I just need dirty flash 4.1 on v3, it also mess up my video player ( sound is normal but video like slow down ), do everything in OP with v3 and fresh rom

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Btw, awsome mod, my sound quality is much better now
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
No flash v4.1 on a fresh rom as it should work better
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] quac_quac:
Arr I installed some xposed mod and apps on my rom, what if I flash 4.1 and wipe cache and dalvik, should it work? I just flash only ur soundmod on my rom. Tks for quick reply
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:
Yes it should be ok.. but it is always best to do clean install to avoid any problems
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] quac_quac:
The problem is I cant flash v4.1, it always said that aborted, I download file many times and used twrp and philz, nothing happen. Plz help
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] pricey2009:

Hello,

I'm new in xposed and I want get R.color from actual visible application.

So I read I can try XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod with onResume

But I don't have any idea how do that.

Now I have:

XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod(Class.forName(packageName), "onResume", new XC_MethodHook() {

@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
Object mPhoneStatusBar = param.thisObject;
Context mContext = (Context) XposedHelpers.getObjectField(mPhoneStatusBar, "mContext");
Resources res = mContext.getResources();

int resId = mContext.getResources().getIdentifier("accent", "color", packageName);

Log.d("ColorDetector", "color: " + res.getColor(resId));
}

}
);

But I know it can't work :-/

Any ideas how I can get it?
