This is the only and first thread I have actually created and just want to share with you guys how I feel about these nice Xperia S multimedia apps ported to our 2011 devices.
1. BRAVIA Mobile is NOT WORKING with Album and Movies Apps. Which is a bit of disappointment because BE greatly improves the image quality with saturated and less noise colors. If BE is working good Xperia S, why cant the devs make it work to our devices with these apps? Is there anyone in here that can make it work?
If i only know how to do it, I would be very glad to do so. Because these apps are awesome but not that good in terms of visual quality compared to the stock Android Gallery which is kind of old.
I have been searching all over for a fix but no one managed to do so far.
2. WALKMAN looks great but SOUNDS WORST that iPod! Im not sure if its just me, but sound quality on this player sucks big time. I have myself a pair of decent Sony MDR EX310 earphones but I cant hear any improvements over the stock music player. In fact, the default one sounds much better than the ported WALKMAN app. And definitely wont be able to compete with PowerAMP.
I know how Sony sound technology works, DSEE, Clear BASS, Clear STEREO and VPT engine. I have myself a 6 year old sony walkman.
Well maybe because these apps were not actually intended to work as they are with Xperia S with our devices. But, if someone knows how to address this issues, please...
I KNOW WE ALL WANT THE BEST for our 2011 Xperia phones.
Actually the sound quality is never the same as old walkmans phones dont know why but theres a big diference between both sounds
Questions go in the Q&A section

As the Xperia Arc and Play has a lot of similarity in terms of the software, firmware version, is it possible to port the fantastic user friendly Arc defaults camera apps to PLAY?
Our PLAY camera is not worse than any other 5.1MP camera as I have tried it out few days. However, the UI is quite awkward...

Ofcourse it's possible. As you may have noticed we seem to have a shortage of developers for the xplay maybe when doomlord gets his play he MAY look into it
Thanks for your reply, I found PLAY is a bit unique from Arc and Neo. Not sure if it is a good thing. Fortunately it now updated with the HD video recording which make it more fun for the camera.

totaly agreed need to be ported only zhdzu can do it
May I know what or who is zhdzu?
I personally like the default camera app, and there are a few panorama apps in the market, I know they arn't as good as Sony's but whatever if you want a proper 360 view just record it.
What is so special about the Arc's camera anyway?

Its not very special, but its kind of bot fair as the Xperia series should all share the same camera apps that design by the Sony Ericsson. But as you can see, only Play is using the default camera apps that comes with the Android gingerbread...
Why Play does not deserve to get the better SE camera apps? Since it is the Playstation Phone Flagship of the company and its camera spec is fully compatible with the Arc's camera app.
Hi,
Does anybody knows if Doom is working on porting the ARC camera app to PLAY, I know he just got his newly Xperia PLAY, so I'm excited about what he will be able to create for ous phones.
Sorry for grave digging but has anyone made progress with this? I HATE the gingerbread camera app, it's quite unresponsive (compared to iPhones) and would love to try out one made by SE

Nobody knows anything?
Hello guys, first I'm german and speak bad english
But I have a question. I want to buy a Xperia play, I currently use the W705 and it has an awesome player with clear bass etc.
I changed some things on my W705, like custom acoustics, other Display / Cam drivers...
So is it possible to mod a Xperia play in things like that? For me it's important to have a very good music player with good bass.
Or easier: Which modifications are possible?

Well if you mean audio related mods i think there's only one at the moment which is the bass enhancer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319533
Which some people say work, others don't
IMO you should stick with the 2.3.3 firmware as the xloud was really loud without distortion and the latest firmware 2.3.4 reduces overall volume to stop the speakers from busting
Talking about music players, the stock player has louds of equaliser presets as well as a good clear sound overall, winamp pro has a built in equalizer but poweramp is the best at sound altering
Hi guys,
so one thing has been bothering me since I plugged my earphones into my Z1C - the sound quality. I used to own a Walkman mp3 player and I loved its sound quality, but it's less than half of that in my phone. I don't get as many bass if any at all when using crystal clear sound or whatever it's called. If I manually turn the bass down, it increases by a small amount, but the overall sound quality goes down significantly. Is this a common problem? (or a problem at all?) What do you think? Do you enjoy your music experience or do you try to fight it? Is there any way to make music sound better without installing any 3rd party players?
Have a nice day.
Comparing to sgs 2 for me crap... Sound from my Sgs2 was much much better on same headphones

Exactly the same story here.
The clear audio + mode sounds terrible in my opinion. I'm using the Unique and bass boost equalizer presets in sound enhancements. They sound much closer to my Walkman.
if you have root you can install viper fx and inside it there is an option to configure a lot of thing and mod sound in headphone i dont use it but everyone in viper fx thread confirm that it makes a miracle so maybe it's worth to try
Pathetic Sound Quality
Is there any mod to get deeper bass & clear highs????
Try:
- Viper4Android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
- eXtremeBeats: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634729
Wasn't planning to root at the moment. However problem solved - Poweramp.
Hey guys, I installed cm12.1 and was disappointed with the sound. I installed a couple of mods but many of them reduce the quality of sound.. Can anyone tell me is there any sound mod that is fully compatible with xperia m and does not decrease the quality of sound like Dolby atmos, etc are ported to the sony z series but i want that type of mods for our beloved xperia m... Please post all the sound mods u may have tested and the best
Project Desire is best mod that i used.
Viper4Android is all you need. I've been using it for almost 3 years and it never disappointed me.
Hi,
I recently got a S21 FE and while I'm pretty happy with it, I feel like the speakers are far below acceptable.
Up until now I owned an, by now 5 years old, Huawei mate 10 plus. It was a middle class phone with normal speakers - nothing fancy. However the sound quality is still much better. It got some "Stereo+" setting that only activates in landscape + certain volume but it improves it a lot.
Since there is no additional hardware build into it, it has to be done by software. Is there a way to get a similar effect on Samsung phones? I tried the build in equalizer but it didn't do much nor did it really improve things.

Whiteout root no
Could you explain why not? I do not need the exact feature, I just want a similar sound which should be possible with equalizers or something similar, or not?

Codecs , replacement and tweaks like this I know. Equaliser settings not enough https://github.com/Briclyaz/NLSound_module_QCom example
In the settings for the tone:
Switch off "Dolby Atmos"
Set the Equalizer to "Jazz"
Like this you will have a much more warm speaker sound.
Additionally you can try Poweramp Equalizer from google play store. It's got a load of features for the equalizer.
I'm using Wavelet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pittvandewitt.wavelet
It's a good alternative to Viper without root
Also jetAudio player has a lot of audio settings
jetAudio HD Music Player Plus - Apps on Google Play
Network/Cloud Streaming, Visualization, Graphic Equalizer and Sound Effects.
