CONSIDER READING THIS IF YOU WANT SOME SICK AUDIO QUALITY ON YOUR DEVICE otherwise keep scrolling xD

So after a day of intense experimenting I've found an amazing way to drastically improve audio quality on this device. I think that I can quite doubtlessly announce that this is currently the best Audiomod setup for XPERIA Z. This involves almost all audio engines available + V4A and AM3D EQ's operating at the best possible performance and compatibility.

THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE YOU PROCEED:

1. By undergoing this, you're choosing to lose the audio visualizer, whether it is the navbar or lockscreen one.

2. I take no responsibility for any damage, but I'll do my best to help you if anything goes wrong

3. The final audo quality depends on the settings you'll have in V4A and AM3D as well, so if you're not satisfied with the quality, I'll help you with that too ;)

4. You're awesome

5. I love Chippa

REQUIREMENTS:

An at least partially working brain

Magisk [v.12+] by topjohnwu

XTREMEmusic - Systemless for Magisk [7.9.9] + XTREMEmusic Checker by androidexpert35

Project Meli [Latest] + V4A addon by PDesire

AM3D Zirene Magisk Module [Latest] by ahrion

Instructions:

1. Flash Magisk and XTREMEmusic on top of that

2. Reboot and wait max. 20min. (this boot delay is caused by the XTREMEmusic app)

3. Install XTREMEmusic Checker

4. Uninstall XTREMEmusic in Magisk module settings

5. Flash Project Meli SOUNDMOD + V4A addon and AM3D Zirene Magisk Module

6. Reboot, check if XTREMEmusic engines still work +setup AM3D and V4A

7. Enjoy ;)

Additional Explanation For Curious Minds:

- Why does XTREMEmusic work after uninstallation?

When flashing systemless XTREMEmusic module an additional zip file is flashed as well. This file contains all the engines that remain even if the application is uninstalled, which is perfect since the app causes a delay in boot process.

- Why flash the AM3D Zirene Magisk module instead of the addon for Project Meli?

Nougat is not compatible with the Meli version.

- What about Dolby addon for Meli?

Doesn't work and I haven't found a working alternative as well :/ Tell me if you find any. So far I've only tried the Magisk one by ahrion

I have to install SoundAbout App to disable headphone mode and it is the only way to access hands free mode.

I downgraded to RR 5.7.4 until bug fixes.

chippa plz help.
[Xperia Z Android Development] cypher187:
Usually this is caused by the hardware - just clean headphone jack with paper and a little bit of alcohol on the paper. But be careful.

If it is really software related just make a (really!) clean installation. You need to wipe: /data, /system, cache and dalvik. Then install ROM and GApps. Then restart phone (can take several minutes) and let it settle, maybe a few reboots. Don't restore any backup - I recommend after any issue and a clean installation to use it as a completely new phone.

regards,

cypher
[Xperia Z Android Development] patrol-cz:
It seems to be a software problem affecting more devices. Exactly these issues are present on Xperia S running the nAOSP ROM. They are affecting so many devices, that the main developer, [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION], implemented a special QS tile to force the headphone mode On/Off. I also suffered from this issue, but then a deep crash of the filesystem occured on the device and I had to do a really total clean flash. After that, the headphone connection is fully automatic again and I don't need to use the QS anymore. And BTW I don't have this issue on XZ/RR.

Camera port

I installed this yesterday on my Z and it works flawlessly so far. I'm interested in knowing whether there are any camera mods based on the sony xperia software that could be used in conjunction with this rom. I read that there's a backport for the 2.0 app for the Z5 but that cover the Z. Backports from the Z4 seem to target jelly bean rooms. Any thoughts ?

Is this rom compatible with c6602?

I'm a newbie on trying flash custom rom to my old Xperia Z c6602 but it was failed.

I rooted by using kingroot then installing Supersu and TWRP from XZDualRecovery.

After wipe, flash rom+gapps then reboot system, my phone just brick dead with red flashing light on the phone.

Any suggestion? Or with marshmallow custom rom that I should flash my 6602.

Hi guys.

A have no space in my device after update and clean install.

Is it normal?

894+1900+541+4500+16 = 7851MB

C6603 has 16G internal memory.

How I lost 7G of memory?:D

I determined this after the first installation of RR instead of the stock firmware, but did not pay attention. I tired update and clean install (wipe system/data/cache/dalvik) and after this step my clean system takes almous 11G. So I dont have enough memory for my apps. Any ideas?

Low sound.. how to install Viper4android or any solution for sound boost my Xperia Z with RR v5.8.3 rom 7.1.2 by Yuga
[Xperia Z Android Development] sunshyno:
I've tried flashtool It not working, I've also tried flashing it via recovery it's still not working. Only Cm based roms do install
[Xperia Z Android Development] nattaj9:
Mi too
[Xperia Z Android Development] UndoTheTimes:
Try Project Meli by PDesire. It has a Viper4Android addon that works flawlessly on this ROM.

Another thing that should work is STEREOMOD by Monivan, but since it was last updated for lolipop, you won't be able to hear anything while calling unless you enable the speaker mode. However the volume boost will be much more significant and you'll have dual speakers. I personally recommend picking the smallest sound boost in the AROMA installer and default volume settings for headphones to avoid noise distortion.

Both mods are compatible with each other and can be even used along with XTREMEmusic by androidexpert35 if installed correctly. I made a post about it earlier on this thread so check it out if you wanna ;)

I have this xperia Z, been laying in my closet for a long time but a friend wants to use it.

I flashed the rom and the nano gapps but there seems to be an issue.

When I only flash the rom, no problem, it boots (after a long time) but I actually get the homescreen.

When i flash the rom + gappsthe phone just keeps loading, its in an infinite loop of the boot animation screen.

Can't get past it...

The flash mode stop work, led blink red and green once. I try to flash many other versions of Android 5.1.1 but no one worked. I flash Android KitKat 4.4.2 and the phone worked with errors.

I can't believe that your post is original. It seems to be a VERBATIM copy (including details like four dots, exactly the same word order etc) of the one from yesterday. And there were at least two reactions to the original one, one with a very good advice HOW to request such things (i.e. with logs) and the other with logs already supplied.
