I have a Lenovo Z2 Plus running Marshmallow 6.0.1 with firmware version ZUI 2.0.133ST.
Why is the "Bass Boost" in equalizer settings? Is it the same for everyone?
And is it possible to install and use the equalizer settings found in Nougat ROM of Lenovo Z2 Plus? The reason I ask is it has a couple of more settings that this equalizer setting.
Bass boost works if headphone jack is plugged in. It is not works with phones speaker.
Since everyone on the huge OnePlus 3 thread gets tetchy if you raise queries about other phones, I decided to start a discussion thread. What have your experiences with these mods been, and which variations work best for you?
Personally, I've opted for the recent Google Camera Pixel Mods by @Arnova8G2 as they seem to give the best all-round functionality on this phone. I can switch between the various mods and configs without a hitch, and portrait mode works a charm. I find that the main Arnova mod (GCMod5) doesn't seem to work well on this phone in Portrait mode, either failing to take a pic without HDR + or giving greenish selfies with HDR+ active; his Pixel Mod, on the other hand, works perfectly.
Google Camera Pixel Mod links: Original version (more options in advanced); v1 (improved video stabilisation).
Recommendation: If you want detailed main and selfie cam pictures, set the model config to "Nexus 5x" instead of "Nexus 6P"; I was dissatisfied with the selfies on the latter config, but after reading this by B-S-G, I switched and all was well. The main camera config, as with the actual Nexus phones, is exactly the same.
UPDATE (11/2/20):
Recommended cams:
Oreo: MGC_5.1.018_tolyan009_v1.4.1-test6.apk
Pie: MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e+.apk (no libs)/(w/libs)/(dark menu w/libs)
10: MGC_7.2.014_Parrot043-v3.apk ; MGC_6.1.021_mi6 edition _v7.7a (6.1 interface, plenty of libs, XML compatibility).

Has anyone tried to rename in built.prop the line "Z2 Pro" with "Z2121" and checked after restarting if problem still occurs?

I tried and the max recording fps still 30 - I think is something related to the camera driver. The dev of the ROM's need to fix it
Edit:

This "Pixel2Mod" doesn't work as well for this phone as the "PixelMod". Greenish front HDR+, followed by crashes; plus, all the model/HDR+ configuration options are gone.
@Arnova8G2, if you could add a toggle to fix the greenish/pinkish tint on the back camera's "HDR+ on" mode, and perhaps stick in your "improve photos in low light" toggle, the original "PixelMod" would be the best GCam mod for this phone, hands down.

Everything working except for still greenish effect on front camera portrait mode, and no hdr+ on front camera.
I suggest you guys to do a clear cache/data on every install.
may I ask in which ROMs Google Camera works properly ?
I know that it works on AEX 5.1 but that ROM seems to be buggy for me , I did not like it. I use RR v5.8.3 for a long time since it is very stable and battery life is good but I tried to install Google Camera in that ROM , no luck..
Does any of the Nougat ROMs for Zuk Z2 Pro supports camera2api ? anyone knows?

I don't think any Nougat ROM for this phone supports Camera2API. It was kinda a big deal when it was annouced for AEX 5.1. What version of 5.1 was "buggy" for you? The latest official version has issues, but the New Year's Eve beta works great.

The last version works really slow for me.. for example double tab to wake feature works with 1-2 seconds delay. Same as pressing power button to wake device up works with delay.. Wifi toggle also same.. I mean in general feeling ROM was quite slow compared to RR Nougat ROM. I saw your post about new year's eve version in another topic , I downloaded it and tried to install but somehow same gapps which was working in latest version did not work in new year's eve version.. Can you tell me which gapps (with release date of gapps) did you flash exactly?
Last 2 days I keep switching between ROMs to check which one is most stable.. I should say that definitely Stock ROM with Android 8 is the fastest and most stable one. But it is very frustrating that you can not use Google Camera in that ROM , such an annoyance.. howcome ZUI developers did not include camera2api in Oreo version , i could not understand

Hi . Is there anyway to increase volume on Bluetooth headset on MIUI?
Volume is ok on AOSP roms but its too low on miui.
Thanks.

You need to install magisk then install viper4android there you can make Bluetooth volume higher

Hi everyone,
I noticed that in android 9 there were some dramatic changes in the audio department and apps like ViPER4Android or Dolby Atmos work only on Oreo.
Is there a way how to fine-tune the built-in speaker audio or even enable the earpiece as the secondary speaker?
Thanks.
Viper works on Pie.

viper 1.7.3 from magisk app works fine on Pie ROMs, try it

Thank you. Yes it does.
I have observed that the bluetooth audio quality in aosp 10 and 9 both roms really sucks it's far more inferior to miui.When the bass is increased the sound becomes supressed and you can hear crackles after every bass punch.Whereas in miui it's powerful and amazing,I have tried everything i can i have changed firmwares china global it;s still the same , i have used several mods viper,dts hpx,dts ultra,james dsp,dolby digital etc. it;s still the same.I hve used music players like poweramp,player pro etc. but the issue persists.Does anyone know what is the cause of this issue and how can it be resolved.The audio quality feels like gingerbread?
Can"t confirm anything like that. I"m currently running a very outdated Superior OS build (August 2019) and listening to the music on my loudspeaker using BT (SBC HD) and wired connection feels the same. No distortions or anything like that (im using retro music player and yt).
I suggest you clean flash the ROM you are currently using and try again without any sound equalisers and boosters

There is a Magisk module that can change bluetooth bitrate, just search for bluetooth and you will find it in magisk repo. Try that but I don't have a problem with bluetooth audio on AOSP.

actually the problem lies with bluetooth earphones and the problem occurs when the bass is increased not when there are no effects applied.

i have used that i increased it to 482kbits but there was no change. I m well aware of the fact that the bitrate in miui is 48 nd in aosp its 44.1.

I think you are mistaking sampling rate (44,1kHz for ex) and bitrate (in kb/s)
While first one can"t be changed, second one depends on the BT codec which your speaker uses. SBC for allows 340kb/s bitrate. In comparison - Spotify non-premium streams in 128kb/s
