Here is my Port of my original Sound MOD from Xperia S thread started in April wich is now supposed to work on all phone
Here is the link to original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609868
Don't forget that Beats is not only a thing to have louder Bass it is a lot more than this you'll have a clearer deeper sound (in general) and way better feel of music​
This MOD includes:
- Surround Sound Support
- ClearBass support
- Xloud suipport
- Alsa support
- Dolby Digital support
- Walkman Audio technology from Walkman Z
- Walkman Player
- DSP Manager
- Google Music Player
The result from stock firmware is:
- Louder sound volume in speaker and in earphone
- Clearer, Deeper and better Bass Effect
- Audio resampling
- clear treeble (no distortion)
- more sound frequencies (41KHZ with walkman audio and up to 96KHZ with alsa!)
- better quality on low quality song (128kbps)
- The Bass isn't lounder than treeble and vocal so you won't have only Bass on your music (don't panic )
- new EQ from Beats featured HTC phones (so no need to change preset with in-app EQ this MOD already have the right EQ)
- more EQ preset in Music app
- Better experience of music (Don't forget that you need good hearphone to notice all the change, better are your earphone, better are the music this will never change!)
- and a lot more I forgot
THIS MOD IS IN ALPHA STAGE FOR NON- XPERIA PHONE SO I NEED TESTERS TO BE SURE IT STABLE ON EACH DEVICES
I really need your feedback since I don't own an HTC One X

this is great! thanks

okay thanks for ur tennis and football I end it here

Thanks for your test version. Xloud does not work but the sound on earphones works great. It's clear and good bass. I used the aroma install. I use aokp rom.

96khz is impossible bro! Chipset on hox only Support 48khz max.
Btw, it looks like a copy of zeros mod. Just sayin' ...

[MOD][Aroma]StereoMOD™ & S-Force Z/ZR/ZL v4.0 (Update: 10/10/14)

I am happy to present my StereoMod based on dontbelieve mod from Z1.I did modify XZ snd_soc_msm files so that they will output Speaker and Earpiece at the same time like in Z1 mod.
What will this do?
Achieve real Stereo and surround sound effect from both left and right channels by using earpiece as additional speaker.
To test out rotate the device to landscape and try some stereo video or music.
Try this:
-Left/Right Stereo Audio/Visual Test.: http://youtu.be/dvqbq_0jZ_U
-Dolby Digital - HD Surround Sound Test: http://youtu.be/PvnlpPWAcZc
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for any damage caused by this mod. Eg, your phone is broken, you miss any important call, alarm didn't go off and you were late for work, or your earpiece is busted. It's your own risk. Proceed with Caution, you have been warn.
Requirement:
Xperia Z, Xperia ZR or Xperia ZL
Stock, or Stock Base 4.3-4.4.4, Dirty Unicorn v7.8(4.4.4), KMA AOSPA 30/07 or possibly all custom roms, u name it?
recovery installed
4-way rotation enabled, if auto channel swapping is selected.
Rooted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation:
Download the latest version of StereoMod.zip
Flash it through recovery
Select backup feature of the aroma, so you can always restore it back.
Select your preferred channels configurations, features, volumes and install.
Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Manual Installation: obsolete
Unzip the package
Copy snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 from the package
Replace this file in to /system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder
Set permission -rw-r--r--(644).
And Reboot!
Not satisfied just yet? (obsolete)
How about having full control over the volume for both speaker and earpiece?
Open the snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 file that you just replaced and edit with editor. I recommended using 920 Text Editor or DroidEdit on mobile which could run such a big code.
Go to line #2966, you will see that the following code is related to speaker. Scroll down to line #2985 and #2986, you will see these code:
'RX1 Digital Volume':1:73
'RX3 Digital Volume':1:71​RX1 is Earpiece and RX3 is Loudspeaker. Change these blue values will effect the volumes for xLoud off.
If you scroll down alittle bit to line #3010, you'll noticed instantly that it is related to xLoud on. Do the same to Line #3029 and #3030.
'RX1 Digital Volume':1:74
'RX3 Digital Volume':1:72​Change these values will effect volumes for xLoud on. Becareful not to raise RX1 volume too high, it might fry your earpiece. Both of their stock default value is 68. You take full responsible for your own tweak.
How about swapping left and right channels? with the cost of broken Loudspeaker during call (obsolete)
As now you are familiar with the code. I'll go short this time.
Modify these Lines between line #2972 and line #2975.
'RX3 MIX1 INP1':0:RX1
'RX3 MIX1 INP2':0:RX6
'RX1 MIX1 INP1':0:RX2
'RX1 MIX1 INP2':0:RX7​And these Lines between line #3016 and line #3019
'RX3 MIX1 INP1':0:RX1
'RX3 MIX1 INP2':0:RX6
'RX1 MIX1 INP1':0:RX2
'RX1 MIX1 INP2':0:RX7​All you have to do is to replace all RX3 with RX1 and all RX1 with RX3 in the BLUE values. And you're done.
UninstallObsolete, use uninstall or restore options of the aroma instead

Well, to be honest no body knows. But Z1 with similar mod and Z have been using it for days. I can't really say abt long term effect though. I did decrease speaker vibration frequency so that ur earpiece won't break easily.

Only problem with the ZL is that the earpiece and loud speaker are both at the top of the phone. So the only way to experience the stereo effect would be to hold the phone sideways, leaving the screen outta view, lol. But it does make a front facing speaker at the very least. I'll see what it sounds like and report

I think there won't be any problems. But to make sure, please use backup feature included in the aroma, it only takes a second. Then try the mod. U can always restore that backup through the aroma itself.

Your preferred audio app

I've a question for everyone, what audio apps are you all using? I got great sound from Xtreme Music but it absorbs lot of memory and makes my frequency stuck at 787 MHz.
The Z5 sound mod on the other hand has 2 options: Extra loud or Extra quiet.
Anyone got other suggestions?

I'm settled on z5 premium walkman port, nothing else,it is clean hassle free..
all the extra loud mods does nothing other than damaging your speakers
walkman( music) is the best
no mess

I agree a bit
Because volume controls are fine
It is a bit loud on x-loud enabled but bringing the volume down helps
Earphone volume can be increased slightly by using equalizer.
Doesn't v4a runs in background always? What about its battery usage?
Can u provide the link

I didn't have to. I flashed all my files during a clean install, so the first boot would have them already. It seems to bypass the SElinux requirements too.

@rarrouma
First and above all thanks for your mixer adaptations. I know there are endless discussions here at xda this is too loud too quite and so on. For me the tasha mixi is too loud because the speaker starts clipping. So my question is could you point me to a link where I could adopt the mixer myself? Or would it be possible that you reduce it or tell me which parameters I should change in the xml file.
Thanks and all the best,

mixer_paths_tasha.xml is primery or base volume for xz, mixer_paths is secondary or complementary.
I use both of them
You can use mixer_paths_tasha.xml (v3) is the better till now

Mate I have been testing your V4 for a while now and the in-call volume on speakers isn't loud enough and cracks at max volume.
Any suggestions.

Thanks for that SoundMod!
The sound seems more clear und richer (my opinion).
One thing I don't get is the volume of the lower speaker, the one at the bottom. Is it normal that it is so quiet?
The speaker at the top is awesome but if you hold your thumb on it the lower speaker is a joke compared to the top speaker

|AUDIO MOD|01-11|ZUK Z2|DAC HAX|DUAL SPEAKERS|shox AUDIO MOD V3.0|

Hey guys...
ScreaMySkrillEX here..
This is an audio mod made specifically for the ZUK Z2(all variants) on the request of @devabhi..
I currently have made this mod for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3(kenzo) and this is gonna be my 2nd device..
Coming back to the mod, this is purely based on hardware tweaks and modding rather than software mods like Dolby atmos, viper4android, etc. which make changes at software-level.
This mod globally enhances the music experience.
What does it do(currently)?
This mod actually enables the earpiece speaker also along with the bottom-firing speakers. So you have a dual speaker config like the HTC10 has where the purpose of the speakers are same. The loudspeaker is untouched but the earpiece behaves like a mid-range booster and adds some more detail for the speaker audio output. I have also some minor tweaks to the headphone audio also. This mod enables CLS_H_HIFI mode during headphone audio playback which should make your listening experience better than stock.
Install Instructions:
1) Download the latest release of shox Audio Mod.
2) Reboot to recovery.
3) Flash the zip.
4) Reboot.
5) Magic.
This mod supports all other software mods like Dolby atmos, viper4android, etc without breaking their functionality and supports all ROMs.
Read the second post for download link, more info and tips.
Thanks to:
@chdloc - Has thought me many things. I learnt most of the tweaking from his advice's and suggestions.
@UltraM8 - For his Ainur SAURON audio mod.
@zhuhang - For his Viper4Android and IRS samples.
@ZeroInfinity - For his contribution to the android community. Has done many great works in audio modding section. His works were the inspiration for me.
@devabhi - For PMing me to add support this device too. This mod is here because of him.
@ahh988 - For being a prominent tester for this mod. Most of the testing has been done by him. This mod is alive thanks to him.

Link to the google drive folder which contains flashable zip of all releases:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5ratNhH-7mGa1I4VW5wMXlmYjg
Recommended tips:
1)This mod works(should work) on all ROMs and kernels. If there is any compatibility issues or other requests, please post a reply. I will definitely respond to it.
2)Flash Ainur Sauron audio mod made by @UltraM8 along with this mod for a much better experience.This is currently the best audio mod which is the cleanest..Please thank him for his great work...
Link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/soundmod-ainur-audio-t3450516
3)Users who need more tweaking to the audio can use Viper4Android.
Link here:http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=25
4)I have included some of the best IRS samples for viper4android(according to me). So try it out if you are using viper4android for complete control over your music. Extract the zip and place the contents in viper4android/kernel directory of your internal storage.(the zip provided is not recovery flashable).
5)People who use MX player for videos can enable SW audio boost which will further increase the sound levels through speakers without any distortions..
It is recommended not to listen through speakers at full volume for longer periods.. Keep the volume low by 1 or 2 steps from the max.
6)People who think that the present max volume through headphones isn't enough can install viper4android and increase output gain to 6dB in master gate..
My personal Viper4Android settings:
Master power - on
Playback gain control - off
FET compressor - off
Viper DDC - on, set to sennheiser hd558
Spectrum extension - on, set to 1.0
Firequalizer - off
Convolver - off
Differential surround, field surround, headphone surround+, reverberation - all set to off
Dynamic system - off
Viper bass - off
Viper clarity - off
Tube sound simulator - off
AnalogX - on, set to extreme
My earphones :
1) Sennheiser cx180 street-II - daily outdoor use.
2) Skullcandy Ink'D - used rarely.
3) Sony MDR-ED12LP - used when I'm at home.
Changelogs:
V1 - *initial release.
*increased amp gain for more headphone volume and decreased DAC gains to remove distortions.
*added dual speaker config like htc10.
V1.1 - *added support to flyme OS(thanks to @sonictrain for reporting)
V1.2 - *enabled compander for headphone audio to increase the amp gain to the max.
*readjusted earpiece and loudspeaker audio for both htc10 and stereo version.
*added a new version called stereo version
*htc10 version is the default dual speaker config which I had made in the initial release of the mod.
*stereo version enables stereo playback through speaker audio. Earpiece behaves as left speaker and loudspeaker behaves as the right speaker. Its a true stereo effect. You can check it out with stereo test music or app.
V1.3 - *added support for stock ZUI ROM (thanks to @ahh988)
*added a new version called stock version which only makes changes to audio through headphone jack without touching anything else. So now you have three versions:
1)stock version
2)htc10 version
3)stereo version
*made some changes to volumes of all streams from 87(ZUK stock) to 84(hardware stock value). I don't know why did ZUK people kept it at 87. This will remove distortions in headphone e audio.
*added an impedance selection for people who use headphones with high or low impedance. The installer configures the amp settings appropriately to give you the best audio experience possible.
*Increased amp volume from stock value 12 to 16 for low impedance and 20 for high impedance to boost headphone jack output volume without causing any distortions.
*added ota survival script for the mod.
*finally, integrated the mod into an aroma installer.(thanks to @MOVZX)
*Retuned stereo version to balance the audio and give a perfect sound (thanks to @ahh988)
*added 24-bit audio rendering through headphone jack output to increase sound quality.

Need more testers people.
I currently don't own the device so you guys should help me in making this mod more featured.
And you all are most welcome for your suggestions..
Please test the mod and tell me what's missing and what's wrong with your device audio outputs.

Waiting for someone brave to come along.... Looks promising though!

Hi there!
Flashed "shox_Audio_Mod_Dual_ZUKZ2_V1.zip", rebooted, but I'm missing the last step I can't see the magic!
Am I forgetting some step?
I'm on Zuk z2 Plus with twrp 3.1 by Fedor and FlymeEU 1.5 by JJ17 with Darkmoon kernel.

V1.1 uploaded to drive folder.
Flash it and see once...

@sonictrain
Flyme OS which you use has mixer_paths_tasha_z2_plus.xml also along with the original one. Seems like the ROM uses the z2 plus xml.
So my mod wasn't working..
Please check v1.1.
I have uploaded it to google drive folder.

nice work,keep going

Thanks for the mod! But what's new on version 1.2_stereo and 1.2_htc10?
What's is the difference between them?
And I think the earpiece volume could be a little higher.
I'm on AEX 4.3 with ARISE Sound Mod (Dolby Plus + ICE)
