Have you wiped Cache before flashing?
[Sony Cross-Device General] darsh11192:
Yeah
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
Ok, I managed to fix the aac problem

just split the mod into 2 zips to install

1. everything else except usr folder

2. usr

install part 1 then part 2 (correct order seems important!!)

not sure if i should upload it here

(hope some1 who would listen to aac can test it for me, not sure if i just ran into some lucky sh*t or it really works, meh)
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
nice idea, but I am not hearing aac songs ...
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
That means, you removed usr folder to fix AAC Problem??
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
I split your mod into 2 zips

the first one is everything included except the usr folder

the second one is everything removed except the usr folder

so i install first zip then the second zip, everything should be here (or i'm an idiot??)

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------

still better than 320k mp3...
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Okay I will check it later

AAC is a good codec, but much details are missing like on MP3

Now you have 100 Thanks, I gave you one :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] benlenspace:
my viper4android is not working after flashing this... help is very much appreciated...
[Sony Cross-Device General] martin132014:
My Rom have dsee-hx enabled and installing only Desire mod doesn't bring any problem...but if i flash sonico and desire mod, various bug is present....volume will set to maximum as default and turning with volume rocker or setting will not set it down even it's to a minimum.....dsee-hx will have no effect when on or off...some of the audio setting will not have any effect when on or off even though i can here the effect is there....because of this i will stick to desire mod only...
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Hi mate care to share the files?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
I have one, I can help you too :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] spritear:
[MENTION=6126659]the-cortana-project[/MENTION] can you make an optional zip with only put the volume to default for z1c?. Or show me the way, i will edit mixerpath.xml to restore volume for headphone and speaker to default.

The left chanel is louder than the right, maybe your bug or Sonico bug.

Causes bootloop on Xperia Z LB with Existenz Y
[Sony Cross-Device General] kael2404:
Do you plan to release this mod to xperia Z?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
It has been already released.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Menoobone:
Flashed on stock sony z3 rom, still bootloop... on 1.28 lollipop.. weird. Currently running a rooted international z3 :/ Flashed v20, and z2 desire nr1-4, gets stuck at starting apps after clearing cache, a force restart gets it into bootloop

Update : Restored to stock lollipop, flashed just sonico audio v20 itself and got bootloop.

Update : Restored again, flashed nr1-4 for z2 and boot normally. Seems like an issue with sonico audio

Suggestions appreciated!

Amazing audio quality from the projectdesire itself <3
[Sony Cross-Device General] hasn4179:
Alright, so I am confused

In OP it is mentioned that there is Maxxaudio present, but wasn't there supposed to be any app from which we could play with the equalizer settings of maxxaudio? or is this just library thing?
[Sony Cross-Device General] hasn4179:
Still want help running v4a?

I managed to make it work

seems like the setup was not able to properly write its lines everywhere

So, to make v4a work, go to system->vendor->etc

There you will find a file "audio-effects.conf". open it in text editor

now add below lines carefully:

MAKE A BACKUP OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM JUST IN CASE!!!!

and try to indent the following code properly. For your convenience, I have added amount of spacebars needed at the start of each line in *# spaces*

*2 spaces*v4a_fx {

*4 spaces*path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so

*2 spaces*}

*2 spaces*v4a_standard_fx {

*4 spaces*library v4a_fx

*4 spaces*uuid 41d3c987-e6cf-11e3-a88a-11aba5d5c51b

*2 spaces*}
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Thanks alot :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
It has been actived by default, no need any apps to enable or control it.

Sonico is only for Xperia S800 devices, you can't flash it on Z3 cause it uses S801.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Menoobone:
Thanks for clarifying, greatly appreciated:) Desire seem to be extremely distorted with easy listening eq and +6db bass boost at last 4 steps, gets distortion even when plugged into AMP for speakers, any suggestions? Otherwise great sound at mid volume, but higher volume is required to push hard to run headphones though:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] spritear:
Some one help me restore max volume to default value, i use z1c. I dont want boost up the volume cause its rock and noise.
[Sony Cross-Device General] topzias:
I got boot loop after flashing Project desire 2.0 on my experia z.
[Sony Cross-Device General] elias.parasini:
No bootloop for my z3 stock rooted.. (I'm not use dolby & maxx pack)

Clear cache & dalvik -> flash DreamOnMusiC G-PluX Kaga V19T -> DreamOnMusiC G-PluX KitaKami V20U -> ProjectDesire(NR1-NR4) -> ProjectDesireTestingStage(AIO) -> clear cache & dalvik -> reboot

Dont know why..

EDIT: got bootloop after second reboot..
[Sony Cross-Device General] nCuXaPaA:
Same here.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
As I said, Sonici aka DreamOnMusiC is not compatible with S801 (includes Z2, Z3, Z3c, Tablet Z3c).

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

ExistenZ has soundmod inside can cause the bootloop, you should retry with a pure stock firmware then come back here if the bootloop still.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kael2404:
No, it hasn't been released. OP says this is for ZU-Z3, so: Z Ultra, Z1, Z2, Z3.

So, how about Z?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
In #2, maybe OP has not yet updated the title.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kael2404:
Thank you. But I will wait for stable release
[Sony Cross-Device General] topzias:
Tried to reflash stock .454 ftf rom on my experia z then flash project desire 2.0 but still got bootloop.
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Thx, I fixed it :)

It is an unstable pack, I need some developers who can fix that [MENTION=5266069]KWOKSFUNG[/MENTION] have you any idea why?
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
Sorry I dont have an Xperia Z. But maybe I can tell how to hunt the bug

1. Copy the original mod for multiple times

2. In each copy zips, only leave one folder in system, delete the rest folders without extracting the zips (ofcoz be sure to left one original not touched). Do this until every folder has its own zip

3. flash the first modified zip (of only one folder in system), reboot the device, see if it's ok

4. repeat flashing modified zip, boot everytime u install a new one, see if u are f**ked :D :D

5. Well when u are f**ked, u know which folder is causing.

6. Now restore the system, reflash all those zips except the one causing the problem, check if its ok

7. If u are patient, test all files in the folder causing the problem like the method above.

Good luck
[Sony Cross-Device General] Abyssialz:
Will Project Desire 2.0 come out today?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
What device are you talking about?
[Sony Cross-Device General] @soka:
I am assuming Z2, I am also patiently waiting ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Trehjulingsleffe:
Exiztenz Y has no soundmod other than Sony Stock. Just confirmed with Niaboc79 who created Existenz Y for Xperia Z.

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

I can try this on my Xperia Z with Existenz Y when I have some spare time :).

And ported RHR+ Engine from jimRnor for Z2-Z3 released too

Enjoy!!!!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Zacny04:
I tried flashing separate folders on xperia Z and after flashing /system/etc system won't boot, other folders are ok. I also tried put manually all files but it didn't work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Abyssialz:
Arrghh, just freaking epiccc. Great job guys
[Sony Cross-Device General] paijoe88:
I Wil try on my z ultra.L,but I read In install intruction "Extract the Project Desire Zip and then flash the extracted Zips " and than I can't find zip on my file downloaded?

Can I direct flash this file?

NOTE: i'm sorry my english is very bad
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
Since ver 2.0 you no need to extract them, just flash it and remember to wipe cache/dalvik, TWRP is recommended.
[Sony Cross-Device General] paijoe88:
Thanks brother..:good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] jakmeister:
Hi Guys,

Sorry to be a Noob, but just to clarify, to upgrade to Project Desire 2.0 for my Z2 with 1.0 installed, I'll need to:

* Wipe cache & dalvik

* Flash 2.0 zip

* Flash RHR+ Pack

* Wipe cache & dalvik again(?)

* Reboot

Is that it?

Thanks, and keep up the good work? :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
It's OK, but you should restore a backup without any soundmod or just flash system partition then flash Project Desire for the best compatible, remember to wipe cache/dalvik.
[Sony Cross-Device General] TrevorAshley:
Did this work for you?
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Normally that should work
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
That must work, I'm using it with a problem, that's the mod what is so f*cking spectacular LOL

When will 2.0 released for xperia m ?

waiting for it
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Hi OP am using Z1 and tnx for the great work.I just flash the v2 desire without any flashing of sonico.And I just copy paste the RHR from sonico zip and I can tell u sounds is great and can hear every details of the music instrument. on my stock mh750.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jakmeister:
Yep, flashed it the way I asked, and it's working flawlessly so far.

Excellent work once again guys. Keep up the good work!!! :good: :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] TrevorAshley:
Amazing?v2.0 for Xperia Z3
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
wait why dont u flash sonico+desire?? or your method gives better sound than that??
[Sony Cross-Device General] hasn4179:
[MENTION=6126659]the-cortana-project[/MENTION] hey can you share something, like an audio sample, which you use to check if dsee-hx is working, and also tell what difference to expect in audio sample when dsee-hx is toggled?

So that we can also see if it works on our sets :p

Because I have all sorts of musics (128 and 320 kbps mp3s, flacs) but I don't feel difference when toggling dsee. Maybe its just headphone related issue?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nicklas Van Dam:
It won't released for now, the op tell me. We must wait for another version, I think. [emoji1]
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
DSEE-HX is a perfect engine for audiophiles

I am a very hard Audiophile and have hyper sensitive ears

When you hear no changes, it can be possible that is a headphone issue
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
If u just install desire, to check if it works, when u toggle it u will hear the audio lag for half second. If u listen very very carefully, when dsee is on the audio is a bit smoother or maybe call it a little "blur" to make it smooth.

If u install both sonico+desire, yes the toggle button did completely nothing but dsee is always on (as jimrnor said)
[Sony Cross-Device General] kris555777:
the best ever mod combination project desire 2.0 and rhr + flash it on my z3 with rom eXistanZ Y

well done and thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Hi mate I think there is a bug when flash sonico + desire.Sounds works great on 1st time on music app.After stop the music apps sounds very loud without any effect got to close the music app and play again then sounds mod will take effect.(Everytime got to close and play again)But if only flash the desire no issue at all.
[Sony Cross-Device General] hasn4179:
I have sony ex110 ap, which I think are pretty good for music. (In my area, only these ones were available in the sony centres I visited and online stores are really lousy to deliver in my country :p )

Yes, I have flashed both, so maybe you are right.
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
It did something to 16bit flac to make it like hi-res. I can tell it did (when the toggle button is working sometime before)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bLack_Q:
Any chance to increase the volume level? I think it's not much more than stock.

Everything else: nice!

[Sony Cross-Device General] Depump:
agree

when i use speaker phone is not loudness

but headphone is ok
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
Project_Desire_2.0_Z2+Z3 zip dose not contain mixer_path.xml . so it goes with stock mixer_path.xml if im correct right?

Give me your mixer_paths.xml and say what you want to modify
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:

How to restore to default sound after applied Project Desire Mod?
[Sony Cross-Device General] GRGC25:
Hi!!.

There is something wrlng with z3 video playing using this mod, some facebook videos can't just be played, it happens with every mod I've tried and xloud enables itself sometimes

d6603 .28 lollipop
[Sony Cross-Device General] Menoobone:
Been using all the audio mods, no such issues at all. Same phone and firmware as you, did you even clean install or did you install over other mods?
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
u dont have to flash everything except the 2.0 now, maybe u installed too much old files that's why u have no sound.

Now reflash your rom(without wipe data) and just flash 2.0 :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
Could u tell me what exact files u took from sonico to take the rhr??

Sorry but i cant find them...

edit:

Ar... can i just flash the rhr+ pack for Z2/Z3?? coz using both sonico and desire would make sound enhancement really buggy.
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Yes I will do that when I release Project Desire 2.0 for Xperia M

Yes my mod works with ANC or DNC Headphones too

To deinstall my mod you must restore your system

Okay, I will check that

Good questions you have :)

Enjoy Project Desire 2.0

Thanks for your Help on answering questions :)

Enjoy Project Desire 2.0

Yes, the RHR+ pack works on other phones too

I used desire 2.0 and the rhr pack on xperia z2 with Dolby atmos and I couldn't turn on the surround virtualizer option in Atmos
[Sony Cross-Device General] martin132014:
Why there's not rhr pack for zu...
[Sony Cross-Device General] GRGC25:
Please, let me know if you figured out about that video bug, i´ll try a clean isntall and then flashing v2.0 and that other pack in my f6603 lollipop, i have some free time. but please, please check that out. I´m looking forward to this mod :) Thanks in advanced!
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
It has been already included in Project Desire 2.0.

The soundmod does not touch to the video playback, I think it's the issue of Facebook, not due to this mod.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Menoobone:
Hey there, is it just me or is there a lot of distortions when increase the bass @ +6db and above when im at the last 4 volume step / @ 80% volume etc? Figured out it wasn't the earpiece issue as i tried to blast on speakers and distortions are there despite listening to it at low volume, just checking if it's just me? :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] GRGC25:
well, i did the clean install and it just didnt work at all. i couldnt find the xloud enabler option or clear phase in the audio settings menu.

and about the facebook stuff, it happens with every other audio mod i´ve tried.

i followed all the instructions in order.

maybe im flashing something wrong, first i flashed the project desire 2.0 zip, then the rhr pack and then i wiped cache and dalvik and then reboot. is that how i should do it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] micheldarkcore:
Works Z1 Compact ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
This mod does not touch the sound enhancement so you won't have a modify SE (with ClearPhase and xLoud visibles). I'm using this mod on Z2 without any issues, don't know what happens with you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] benlenspace:
... thanks for the help bro... but i was not able to make it work.. i followed your instruction thoroughly...

can i just give my audio-effects.conf and be kind enough to modify it for me?

THANKS...
[Sony Cross-Device General] @soka:
Hi,

Ive added the required lines for you, as i have this working on my Z2.

Hope this helps. :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] hasn4179:

And did you just modify the file or did you also open the viper app and let the app install the driver too?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Nicklas Van Dam:
Thanks for this release and i very appreciate about this and i think Xperia M won't get any update again.

report on my nicki using cyanogenmod 12.1 build 20150716 ..

soundenhancement seems not installed or not working on this build? but another apps it's working correctly?

is this need some superusermod requirement or i must change soundenhancement? :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Black Plague:
bro M only? z3 or others??
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Nope, it isn't the last update for Xperia M

Okay, I will check the Sound Enchantment problem, hopefully you can enjoy it without them a while

Not only M, I must upload it for Z-Z3 too, but I am a school kid and don't have much time, please wait a little bin and you can feel how the sound touches your Soul
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nicklas Van Dam:
Okay, thanks for your reply. waiting it now :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ChristianMx:

[Sony Cross-Device General] broky:
z1 compact here and working just fine.the only thing is that i don t see any other setting in sound settings,is it supposed to work like this or i am missing something?

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Maybe it works with modified Stock ROMs too

You forgot nothing, I didn't add anything to control, you can use Sony Sound Enchantment

[Sony Cross-Device General] moman2000:
Hi, Just discovered the beautiful thread of yours. I have to admit your hard work looks amazing, but, on the topic of the mod for my Z2 , do i flash v2 with RHR (optional) and wipe cache and dalvik and then it should work right? Or do i have to disable some sony apps to make it function correctly. Also, will noise cancelling still work with this mod and RHR installed??

Thanks,

Mohamed:o:o:o
[Sony Cross-Device General] fastlone:
Will it work on Lollipop 5.1.1?
[Sony Cross-Device General] PDesire:
Yep

Yep, you must not disable some apps
[Sony Cross-Device General] moman2000:
Do i need to turn of sony software like clear audio and Dynamic Normaliser to make it function properly.
[Sony Cross-Device General] KWOKSFUNG:
Just use them by your preference like it's stock :)

[Sony Cross-Device General] tiga05:
I cant change the Sound Enhancement Options like Bass after flashing this mod. Is this normal?

I used a fresh installed Z3Compact with 5.1.1 (from here: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/d5803-lollipop-5-02-odexed-pre-rooted-2-t3090505) and wiped the cache (im sure, because i forgot it the first try).

What Information do you need to solve this problem?

[MENTION=4702982]rocker00[/MENTION]

welcome to the club :D.
[Sony Cross-Device General] rocker00:
haha :D

if i missed this mod on 5.1.1 I'll downgrade to 5.0.2 i can't live without this mod :D.i hope and I'm sure he will find a solution asap ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiga05:
[MENTION=4702982]rocker00[/MENTION]

It does not work on 5.1.1? I didnt know that. There is no Info in the Opener about an incompatible OS. Thanks for the Information. I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.1 with a fresh Installation and thought this would be a good moment to test this mod, because i had another Sound Mod installed before on 5.0, which might be incompatible with this. So I will wait for the Update.

[Sony Cross-Device General] John.D..:
Can I install version 2.5 on version 2? :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Black Plague:
the sound seems bit better on v2 on Z3, is it only me or anyone ?

You must install it separately With Project Sonico V21B Nagato

I released a Special version for 5.1.1

Yep

but bro jimRnor tell me Project Sonico V21 is only for S800 devices not for s801 like z3
