Do I have to delete the sound enhancement.odex file everytime I flash this mod ?

I can't exactly delete it completely,the file will still be there with 0kb

And also I have mic issues especially when using the loudspeaker, the caller can't hear anything but with normal calls some people say there is like some echo but I am fine with it

And also I get little distortion for the ringtones which I reduce the sound a little bit and it's fine( v15)

Maybe let's try and see if v16 fixes it or not

Z2 575 stock
[Sony Cross-Device General] :No-Frost::
Wouldn't it be better to include a script that checks for the odex file and, if exist, delete the file and then install the mod, else, if the file doesn't exist, proceed with the installation?
[Sony Cross-Device General] rosshalz:
Sound is AMAZING:highfive:

However I still face the problem of mic not working when i use my NC31EM NC headphones :confused:

Otherwise... Just WOW... I rarely have to raise over half volume :D:D

If possible, please do look into the NC headphones bug...

[Sony Cross-Device General] Mohamed Elhadad:

[Sony Cross-Device General] mirok80:

[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:

For the developer of this mod, Hats Down.

Thank you for all your effort and time spent on this mod and to try to improve it with every other version.

For the rest of us people, please post your Phone model and ROM version when you post your comments / complaints or other thoughts about this mod and versions that you use.It will make it a lot easier for rest of us and the developer to know which version works best on what device and ROM version.

I have XZ3C on SLIM 2.0 ROM and I tried most of the versions and one thing that I found as a problem is call quality related to microphone, means that other side on the call can not hear me clear or have too much background noise especially on speaker phone.

So in my recommendation is higher volume on headset speaker, loud speaker,headphones when in call, listening music, for notifications and ring tones etc. but leave the microphone settings stock MM.

Just my 2c.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Koksymilian:
on v16 great ringing volume!!!

Thanks for Your work!

It is possible to change by my own ear speaker volume? in v14 was the best, but i want keep ringing volume from v16 :/

Maybe change some in file? Pls provide instruction :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Hariskh:
i appreciate your work and it used to be the best but now to be honest you are increasing the volume by too much and the quality suffers as compared to other sound mods out there. your mod used to be nice and audio used to crystal clear but now there is not much difference in this and stock only the volume is loud and is cracking
[Sony Cross-Device General] aigaming:
I think Op should have made two versions of this mod,loud and lower volume one(more quality vise).

Whatever i did with this mod my speakers sound distorted,hissing and bad sound quality on max volume and one step back vol. (v15,v16).

Tried two different roms(clean install)... slim and moded stock(juanpiruloo) and still same story.

Op states it's pure sound quality and boost but on my phone it sounds crappy and overdistorted with most sound files that are mid normalized...

Asked op(pm) to help(editing mixerpaths) with lowering volume couse i do apperently have worser speaker quality on my z3(Serbia) then the rest of guys here that are satisfied and he didn't ever respond.

Example, using cyberian new camera v3 with new camera shutersound produces noise and hissing(couse of sound volume boost)when taking pic's with this mod which is verry annoying.

I really do i like this mod of all the mods here and it's a shame people like me can't fully utilized it :(

Keep up the good work and the best from one more audiophile here,cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] kojak1989:
if i have newest version of this mod and comes update, i must wipe cache again ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanman1:
Can't find the file to delete (Soundenhancement.odex) actually i only have /system/app/soundenhancement and then there is no OAT folder. Only "lib". I am using RXSW Marshmallow v4
[Sony Cross-Device General] maple_mak:
Because the ROM had already deodexed, why delete?
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanman1:
Yeap, ROm is fully deodexed and this MOD is for odexed. I rather ask before flashing it but i guess is not necessary to delete the said file.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Delete the soundenhancement folder and flash again
[Sony Cross-Device General] cccs1:
The loudness from Vers 10 was the best 4 me. So if you can switch the Volumen live in Vers 10 it would be perfect
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanman1:
v16 in call volume is very low. I think i'll switch back to v14. Thanks!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Well I will increase it again , I replaced the loudspeakers now, it working all again,

Now I can develope further :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Good to hear.... I jux dnt know why bluetooth sound output so low compared to wired sound output!

[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
Same as always a bit too much of all... Too loud
[Sony Cross-Device General] MJ999:
which phone ?

working fine and perfectly for me on z2
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dobsgw:
On Z3 using V16

Audio sounds good, but..

Sound for speakers is waaaaaaaaay too loud.

Distorts at higher volumes and is defo gonna blow speakers.

I agree with before post that there should be an option for loud version and stock volumes.

I even tried comparing mixer_path values to Stock and lowering them, but this hasn't helped at all.

Any solution?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cccs1:
Try v10
[Sony Cross-Device General] aigaming:
I'am glad there is one person that agrees with me,I tried everything to lower them manually(dev didn't answer what I need to change)

Real pitty this mod has great potential but for now Zirene is much better and balanced if you like Sq and stronger max Volume and bass then the stock;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiunilohmu:
@OP, flashed v16 with and without v16 fix zip. No mic., ppl can't hear from me. My rom is deoxed and rooted on z3t. Everything else is working great, thx.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AdiSimpson:
i agree speakers on z3 are too loud
[Sony Cross-Device General] MHN.1515:
v16 with fixed file

In my opinion this is the best audio mode

Really awesome, his work continues to proceed

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] yenero:
What does exactly "fix patch? Reverting to stock some features or something?
[Sony Cross-Device General] maple_mak:
Fix those bug who facing no sound+cannot adjust volume while you using your device. (Limited happens)

V17 - stock microphone level?

thanks again mate, well done.

this V17 presumably maintains all V16 but enhances what you pointed out, right?

we may consider that microphone sensitivity is still at stock level, correct?

cheers.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lord Takyon:
V17 is good, but speaker levels are still too loud on the z3 :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] kanej2006:
Just turn the volume down. :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
If speaker is too, just turn down tha volume... Some pple wants it loud too! Thanks for tha update!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lord Takyon:
I was just providing feedback that echoes what a few others have said.

I'm fully aware i could decrease the volume, I would rather not have a maximum volume that could blow the speakers :@

Didn't mean to upset the smartarse fan boys.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pcyfff:
It's great,thanks a lot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
sound good v17... then again, I'm one of the few who also like v16, had no issue with it :D

I have Z3C with SLIMM ROM 2.1 and I tried most of the versions of this mod and had problems with microphone , in call volume, speakerphone ,speakers sound ,e.t.c

Question for other users of Z3C

Which version is good for my phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Well does it works on stock rom? If same then try clean the mic hole, maybe there is some dust in there
[Sony Cross-Device General] china8888:
So, I want to use this (DontbeliveStereoMod-MM-V17) flash my Z3TC,

my system is to be upgraded to MM ?? or LP on it? TKS!
[Sony Cross-Device General] maple_mak:
See the title... it already wrote Marshmallow.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AlanDS:
Installed on Z2 MM Stock rom. Everything seems to be fine as of now.

Those who don't like loud volume can keep the volume down which works absolutely fine.

Thanks OP for your dedication towards this mod and improving it frequently.
[Sony Cross-Device General] china8888:
OK....thank you!

I should first upgrade to MM + twrp
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mohamed Elhadad:
i want to take the in call volume values in v16 MM to LP ultimate v 13

how to do that
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiunilohmu:
As you know, no mm custom rom for Z3T. I'm running mm stock deodexed rom.

Hi all,

First of all, hats off to dontbelive for such amazing mod, thank you.

Not sure what this is related to, but every time I make Skype video calls I have to literally shout in order to be heard by other person likely defined as just 'whispering'. All the rest is just working perfectly. My Z3 (D6603) running stock based 6.0.1 and currently on the latest V17 of the mod.

Would anyone be able to help me out?

Much appreciated,

What are system requirements?

Root, recover , ub or lb or both
[Sony Cross-Device General] Saarvieen Raj:
Ofc u need root and recovery and can be used on both
[Sony Cross-Device General] Thug_Style:
Turn down the volume by 2 steps of the player and will be a good sound, and that on this full- not too crisp sound and the speakers still do not pop some songs
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcraeally44:
Anyone?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] freaky2xd:
My Speakers crackle very hard and loud with every version...

Z2 Deodexed 6.0.1 build 575 rooted+abricot kernel v8.1 + xposed framwork v82

newest SONY MUSIC apk

current version: 17

there was less crackling with 33beta + v15
[Sony Cross-Device General] justk3ys:
When call in loud speaker the other can't hear my sound clearly.. They say too noise.. Any solution? I use v17
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Which rom u use?

Also try stock rom with no soundmod to check if ur speakers are OK or damaged

I will upload v18 next few days,

I'm already trying to fix this problem in v18,

Be patient
[Sony Cross-Device General] freaky2xd:
i am now on stock deodexed...

before stock I had existenz v4.7 but i did a fresh mm install....

same crackle with non-deodexed stock

without the mod speakersare working fine...
[Sony Cross-Device General] justk3ys:
[MENTION=4170892]dontbelive[/MENTION] thanks..
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Then it is a hardware fault. The speakers are maybe bit damaged and that's why it crackle on high volume, for me I have 2 db and no crackling, and this v17 is only 1.6 db

So I think maybe ur speakers going to die slowly
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mohamed Elhadad:
The best sound mod in LP and MM

i liked the care of speaker and incall volume
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Waiting for v18
[Sony Cross-Device General] Enge7che:
Can i flash back directly v16 or must i install Rom to reset soundmod?

I will do a downgrade to test.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tiga05:
[MENTION=4170892]dontbelive[/MENTION]

I have an idea for the loudness problem: Maybe you can make an app where everybody can set his maximum volume. You can set a maximum value, so that no one destroys his speakers.

Gesendet von meinem D5803 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] dummytest97:
nice mod..:good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
U can directly install v16 :)

Well, look

The eq files are the main heavily modified files in this mod means,the gain control is really really difficult to handle, treble bass and mids also not easy to handle, and it will be so difficult to create an app handles a value like this:

1.56737299482655 0 0.2716648826633 0.3899264826542 0.34625848266492

Well and this is just the first line xD

It's not easy to find the perfect value, loudness, clearance, bass etc,

And an app will neither to this,

What I want to say it, that an app for changing this high-sensitive values is senseless, and u can damage ur speakers directly if u put only one number wrong, it will crackle and blow right after,

So better no app haha

Thx bro :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Hi, my ear speaker has broken so i cant ear any voice on phonecalls only if i put the speaker its anyway i cant redirect the sound to the speaker directly while i replace and fix it. Cheers

Thats okay. We will wait for the fixed version.

Until then, v17 looks fine with FIX.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Wnsly:
Okay thanks for your mod. I already flashed but only have crackling from loudspeaker at high volume.

Could you decrease loudspeaker a bit? I think v15 values were best for me. Or at least tell me which values I need to lower.

Love the sound from earphones [emoji106]

Root

Xposed framework v86

Not deodexed

Twrp recovery 2.6.7.0

Dontbelieve Sound Mod V17

I wiped cache and dalvik but still force close....

And i cant delete the soundenhancement.odex file from the system/app/soundenhancement.... Folder...

It says read only systen. But ihave root and tried three root explorer
[Sony Cross-Device General] SnoopyOne:
You need to mount system to Read/Write,find the button that is said"mount R/W" or something like that.

Or you can go to TWRP to delete the file:

1.Press Mount->and press the checkbox "system"(make sure the checkbox "mount system read only" is not checked.)

2.Go back->Advanced->File manager and find system->app->SoundEnhancement->click the .odex file and choose "delete" ,swipe the bar and done!:fingers-crossed:

*If it gives force close go to settings->Applications->SoundEnhancement and click "clear data".
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Haha thx bro for explaining this for him ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lord Takyon:
I don't have the odex file to delete and soundenhancement does not appear on the list to clear data. Crashes everytime i connect or disconnect headphones.
[Sony Cross-Device General] SnoopyOne:
Sorry about that:silly: I forgot the details of steps:rolleyes:

You will see the "arm" folder,click it and you will find the .odex file.

So just delete the "arm" folder(Click in the folder and click the folder button at the corner then cilck delete)

And in the applications cilick the menu button on the right corner and click "Display System apps",it will display all the system apps in the list.

When compared to v17, I feel that voice call volume is quite low on earpiece. Is this normal?
