[Tweak] MegaBass (bass enhancer)

I found in another forum a couple of files which allow us to add MegaBass, one of the most beloved features of Sony Ericsson's W(alkman) phone series. I bundled them in an update.zip to be flashed with Clockwork Mod, and given that they work in all Xperia phones, I've decided to spread them around
I hope it's useful!
MegaBass Installer
MegaBass Uninstaller
*Note* I didn't make these files nor am I savvy enough to discuss their effect. They've been tested in most models with success, though, so again, I distribute them in the hope that they can be useful.

Hello, a question: How is it installed? What steps should I follow?

He says UPDATE.ZIP so i guess you flash it in recovery.

Thanks! I just flashed it ... Is there any specific option we have to select to activate Mega bass or is it activated by default?

Can anyone explain how to install it?
Excuse me but I do not know how to
proceed. Thank you.

Can this be applied on locked bootloader,rooted?

It should be activated by default. I've been told that you need a good equalizer like DSPManager and good headphones to notice the change.
Since this is an update.zip file, you need to be able to enter CWM recovery. Therefore, you need an unlocked bootloader.

if your phone is rooted, you can just extract the update.zip and copy the files.
do not forget to set the proper permission to the files you copied.
after the reboot, it should be loaded by default I suppose.
edit: well, as written in the script, there should be no problem with the method above. but, I could not feel much differences though.

Thanks !! Just applied on xperia arc, seems that the bass is bigger!!

That's a relief, I was starting to think that it didn't work and I was selling smoke

okay already flashed it,

I dont know the contents of this zip but I guess you could just delete them if they haven't overwritten anything,otherwise you have to replace them with the stock ones via root explorer.

From my understanding it reinforces the bass that the equalizer can produce.

[UPDATE][4.3/4.2][MOD][SOUNDMOD][AOSP/AOKP/CM10.1/PAC/CARBON] Extra Clarity and Bass

(If you wish to run this on 4.3 replace the DSP manager with the new version from CM 10.2 and it should work properly, discontinued from now onwards)
These files added to any aosp/aokp/pac/carbon rom will make your sound come out with more treble and bass, without distorting as many roms do I've been using them with aosp roms that annoy me with their sound quality, as well as fixing sound it adds DSP manager and Apollo to your rom, seeing as this is my first mod upload i haven't made a flashable zip, but if anyone's willing to make one and pass it here ill upload it. in the .rar file youll find folders to overwrite in your system folder, you can do it with root browser (free on the market) or by dragging them into a rom.zip file before flashing. enjoy & don't flash these on any other device as it may end up making the device unusable (C6603 has been tested so far and the C6602 MAY work, backup before using this)
UPDATE: now working with apollo
So, anyway, here's the Download link enjoy and happy flashing
NOT TESTED; FLASHABLE ZIP Courtesy of Miustone go give him a thanks
WARNING: This will NOT work on stock sony roms only AOSP/CM/PAC ETC.
WARNING2: AGAIN this is NOT a FLASHABLE zip you must copy the contents manually or insert them into an existing rom.zip before flashing a rom.
WARNING3: I cannot stress enough how important it is to backup before using this. ALWAYS BACKUP before modding ANYTHING.
Which setups this mod has been tested on (Yes/No)
C6603 : Y :good: (Working)
C6602 : N (Unknown if working or not)
AOSP : Y :good: (Working)
AOKP : Y :good: (Working)
PAC : Y :good: (Working)
Bluetooth : N (Should work but unknown)
4.3 : Y :good: (Working)
Apollo : Y :good: (Working only tested on 4.3)​

Thanks that's really appreciated, i've been too busy working on 4.3 for the galaxy S 3

i'm currently using EXTRA_VOLUME_BOOST_AOSP.zip by ZeroInfinity on AOKP... will this increase the ringing volume as well??
thanks

Hello. Thanks for this. Only thing I'm not liking about PAC ROM is the quiet speaker. Seems after installing the zip there is no difference. How can I tell if bits working?
Edit: in root explorer I have a the files in hw lib and sound fix are date modified 1/8/2008. Everything else is 27/7/2013. I have to assume it worked. Although using external speaker seems no different will need to test headphones.

Hey
After flashing the zip file the sound is much better than before!
Thx for that.
But! If I change settings in the DSP Manager the sound doesn't change either in Apollo or Play Music.
I'm an AOKP (Android 4.2.2) nightly from 2013-08-21.
Maybe someone have a solution

It is because they have tunnelaudio playback activated. This is DSP based decoding with audio straight to dacs. There is no way you can have an eq in software.

Too busy to keep maintaining this, have it running on 4.3.1 but it's not much different than what people offer as standard for the XZ anymore so it's pointless. Would appreciate a thread close.

[MOD][4.4.2][.438&.314] 30 volume steps instead of 15 (Upd 22/07)

MOD NO LONGER MAINTAINED. FOR 4.4.4, USE THIS XPOSED MODULE: VolumeSteps+​
This is a modded framework.jar allowing 30 volume steps instead of 15 by default. It works for music with external speakers, headphones and bluetooth.
From my first tests, it works fine. Tested on stock firmware .438 and .314 rooted & deodexed.
Instructions:
- backup first
- download the attached zip corresponding to your firmware,
- flash the zip in recovery,
- reboot and enjoy
Please give feedback.

Instructions:
- backup first
- download the attached framework.jar,
- copy it in the /system/framework folder,
- set correct permissions (rw-r--r--)
- reboot in recovery,
- wipe cache and dalvik cache,
- reboot and enjoy

Any chance you can make 1 for CM or show how its done

So if i understand right this will increase volume of stereo speakers during music playback right?

I think No. This is just a fine tuning for volume setting. Min to Max with 30 steps.

Sorry for posting mod with 30 volume steps in near thread (with mods for .314 firmware). I edited framework.jar a couple of days ago and now decided to share it for everyone. I was creating the thread when you haven't posted update for .314 version here. I hope it's not a problem. Thanks and best wishes in creating mods.

i know alot of mods work on 438 from 402 simple because of the lack of changes but framework changes are always something to be cairful of

Folks not using a Chinese model Z2 will want to copy the soundtweaks section out of the included build prop otherwise your about/system information will be wrong. I just copied and pasted the #soundtweaks section into my build.prop, threw that in the zip and flashed away.
Mine is a D6503 for example.

Works great here. Almost all of the other sound mods are crashing on my phone (well any that use a separate DSPengine.apk to allow a separate equalizer). Like I posted earlier, be wary of the included build.prop. Just copy the sound tweaks section out and add it to your own unless you want your phone to show up as a Chinese Z2 variant.

here is a modified version with D6503 build.prop if you don't want your phone to show as L50w
the mod is working fine, the best so far in term of sound quality.
only issue when rewind/forward the youtube video slider, you lose sound, not sure if it causing by this mod or from the rom. I will check next time I change the rom and report back.
btw you lose sound for the current track/video only, and not ringtones or notification and if you refresh the youtube video the sound is back.

Thanks for that. I made my own (effectively identical) when you first posted the mod for us, I guess I forgot to share it. Sorry guys.
What Custom EQ settings are you guys using with this mod?
This is still the best soundmod available for 4.4.4/.167 in my opinion too.

Ive been trying to figure that out too. I did notice the volume is extremely loud for me on the top setting already. I think i just used the mixerpath file out of your package though (i had been playing with the other two or three that were posted on here by okolos and the soundmod 3.1 and the revolution one but all three didnt do anything better for me, or constantly FCed whenever id try to use their dsp settings). Sorry.

If you using preroot lolipop rom try to flash it back.
Or extract the original mixer_path and replace it into system/etc. Don't forget change the permission before reboot.
