[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Okay okay. Don't flash PD 5.0, there is a Bug, sorry :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tilman:
Changed the updater script to make it work, all good. Fortunately headphone sound is all set and better, z5 sound enhancement works. Now the negative, external speaker sound is just too loud so it sort of produces a crackling sound not pleasant to hear.

Remove the download link for 5.0 [MENTION=226263]tristan[/MENTION]..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rhonin86:
OK OK **** happens - don't bother :)

Just one question due to the fact that it isn't described explicit. Does the OTA Update works also if i com from PD 4.5 or do i have to "downgrade" first ?

I'll calmly wait for the bugfix - and hopefully the loudness enhancement isn't too load...

Cheers

If you don't know how android recovery packages work, you can't understand what I said.

Don't be rude and ask proper way because there can be people who can take it personally. All people here are working for free...

Just edit file updater-script in meta-inf/com/google/android - remove last lines that starts with # (and press delete few times just for sure that there are no unvisible chars under it)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Vaith:
Already managed how to fix it. No need to be so upset because somebody asked what have you done to get it working...

Review:

The Headphones low volume issue seems to be resolved, sound is quite crisper & clean

There is a boost in the Loudspeaker volume.

Good Update. Good Job Dev :)

Edit: Headphone sound volume seems to be the same.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Vaith:
Unfortunately I see no difference between 4.0 and 5.0 I'm using ExistenZ Premium and sound is really low. Quality is also poor...

Can anyone give me instructions how to uninstall this mod? I want to try another mods and see if they will work on this ROM. Cheers!
[Sony Cross-Device General] chawlasrijan:
Yes, I'm on eXistenZ too, the headphones volume is still quite low but there is definitely a boost in volume of the External Speaker.

I would love to try other mods too, can you pm a few good one's if you find any.

Thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Vaith:
Yep, just give me instructions how to delete this mod... I made a data backup but I think that my backup also contain Project Desire files and after installing other mods I don't have sound on speaker and headphones - Walkman is going crazy, can't play videos on YT(errors). I have time for testing but without deleting this mod I can't test others...
[Sony Cross-Device General] chawlasrijan:
I'm sorry but i have no clue how to delete it, hope OP will help.

[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
if you know how works, just open the update-script with note++ and just add an empty line at the end of the script and save and click yes when zip ask to updated, that´s all you have to do. Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] elpi007:
For my part, I have to go back to the v4.0 ... again...

I had the same problem with the v4.5. OTA, when I call or receive a call, my phone is doing a loud buzz which makes the call useless.

Under the v4.0 I do not have this problem.

I think my phone does not like the OTA files, since I have also problems with the NIMADROID.368 ROM v3.1 OTA of this Team.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ustas51:
Project Desire 5.0 OTA Xperia ZU-Z1.zip on Z1C stock rooted 5.0.2 also fail's with the same picture. I've tried different options (4.5->ota 5.0), (4.0->ota 4.5 ->ota 5.0), (4.0-> ota 5.0) - 5.0 update script fails.

P.S. No such problems with 4.0 to 4.5 OTA update. update works just fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rhonin86:
Hi there,

installed PD 5 over 4.5 after backing up only system-partition ! (for those who permanently ask for a "remove - mod - script" ;) )

But for my purposes version 5.0 is too loud even on the lowest level. OK - i could deactivate clearaudio+ but that is not how it is meant to work.

At the moment 5.0 behaves like 4.5 with [THS] Version 6 - MOD additional flashed. I noticed the same bug like described in my post in that thread.

Summary:

Flashing PD 5 over 4.5 works generally

In my opinion the MOD is a little too loud.

THX for providing continously new updates

[Sony Cross-Device General] moonthemindfreak:
Can u tell how did u flash v5.0 OTA ? Whenever I try it fails :(

Where will the update script be located in the zip? :confused:

I took a fixed flashable zip from here. Provided for Z2/Z3 by [MENTION=3667958]Vaith[/MENTION] -> So THX to him :)

Thinking of audiomod and Sonico V26 and Desire 5.0 would be the perfect combo ! i just dont know how to do it properly... do i flash Sonico and then Desire 4 and then 5.0 ota on the same time or do i first install Sonico and reboot + make sure it works and then go to recovery again and flash desire + ota ?do i need to flash something else and do i lose sony audio settings and if so do i get new equalizer to replace?

One last question, im using bluetooth headset, is there any difference ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] AlJeane20:
try this mixer_paths files bcoz after I try this all boost!! both speaker/headphone I try in Existenz Premium 4.0.0

Its getting worse... Flashed 5.0 today on Xperia Z. Everything I mentioned before doesn't work again. Only "Stereo pur" and this surround sound is working. External Speaker there is also XLoud working and now the external speaker volume is very loud.

But now my headphones maximum volume is relatively low.

Really appreciate your work!!

Xperia Z1 Compact .386 rooted
[Sony Cross-Device General] whocares2:
Feedback on Z1 5.1.1 stock rooted, 4.0->4.5 OTA -> 5.0 OTA :

- now the sound options do work : all options - headphone and speaker ones -, equalizer do work too. Sometimes it does not do anything, but some fidling with the options brings the functions back

- loudspeaker is much too loud when playing music if surround is activated (or clearaudio - auto mode - activated). Even on lowest sound setting, it is really very very loud. For the other sounds (ringtone, notifications) it is loud but more reasonable

- the very strong buzzing sound is still present when calling without the speaker. It does seems to come from the earpiece (?!) and not the speaker, and I fear that it will broke since it is not designed to sound so loud ; all the phone is vibrating by the way when there is this sound.

- headphone sound is really loud, even on lowest settings I have to use a negative preamp in PowerAmp to keep the sound to a reasonable level.

Edit (add) : impossible to use my headphone (with mic) in call, since I hear myself very loudly, and the called people very low.

Keep the great work pals, thank you for your efforts, I do not doubt you will manage to solve theses problems. There is progress since options do work now, thank you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mervluk:
v5 installed over 4.5 seems to run well on my Z2 running stock 5.1.1 with all Sony sound effects activated. Sound levels and clarity improved once I disabled DVC in Poweramp (even in other apps) but to a comfortable level. So much so that even the Fiio E06 external amp I bought to improve them doesn't now make much difference even on its higher eq setting.

Update: I find it often takes several days and reboots for a sound mod to settle down on my phone. First impressions are often disappointing to me, but over time the sound quality noticeably improves. Happened here.
[Sony Cross-Device General] TheFerhatKing:
I had 4.5 installed, I installed 4.0 over it than 5.0 over it, is it right this way? Z2 5.1.1 here

Thanks

[Sony Cross-Device General] beni8978:
The sound is enough loud. Like 4.4.2 with sound mod but the only thing I don't like is puting the volume at 80%, 60% and 40% is all kinda same with no difference.

Who doesn't like to keep it loud can put 60 or even 70% right?

But now that's not possible because its the same
[Sony Cross-Device General] stupidfellow1997:
works well on speaker but when come in headphone the sound suddenly very small and also eventually the clearaudio not working anymore(no change on enabled or disabled)

i m using xperia zl
[Sony Cross-Device General] Yverson:
nice feedback, but which device ?

I got a Z3C D5803 and started testing PD with ver. 4.5. This is how i installed PD 5.

This process takes some time of course (~30 min) and you should have backed up your system in nandroid (i recommend twrp) before:

1. To be sure to install everything correct i retored a previous "naked/stock"

system-only

nandroid backup and booted to system. (this way you dont loose any data that might have changed since i took the backup) - Screenshot "Stock" attached

2. Wipe cache, Install 4.0, wipe cache & dalvik, reboot to system. - Screenshot "4.0" attached

3. Wipe cache, Install 5.0, wipe cache & dalvik, reboot to system. - Screenshot "5.0" attached

Feedback:

- Speaker sound is louder - i like it very much. It is louder on a smooth level, its not breaking the speakers or producing any crackling sounds etc. BUT i am only listening to audio books and wanted to hear something while brushing teeth, shaving, beeing under the shower, cooking something - so not that much noise but too much for stock sound.

- The X-Loud feature is no longer there in 5.0 but i think OP enabled it anyways so thats how its supposed to be

- Clear Phase does not stay active. If i turn it on and reboot, it will be deactivated afterwards. As i am always on Clearaudio+ this does not matter to me i guess ? Not sure if its active in Clearaudio+

- No Feedback for Equalizer / Surround Sound (VTP) as i never use em

Thanks for your effort [MENTION=6126659]PDesire[/MENTION] - this is just the Soundmod which i was looking for to increase loudness but not shizzle up the whole Sound
