Hi! what is the difference between this mod and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/soundmod-purexaudio-v22-final-t2190558 they have the same name but they are in another thread so why? Is this beta or something?
Does this work on Cm12 and unoffcial lollipop based ROMs
Hi! Thanks for a great job. Equalizer, Xloud function must be switched off? The enlarged bass lost the sound in the headphones. Clearaudio+ mode cannot be used?
will you update the lollipop version?
Hey dude,will you update the lollipop version? As the official 5.02 has released,but the sound is terrible, I miss your PureXAudio system......

Does anyone tried this on Tablet Z3 LTE already?
Not working
When i tried installing it don't install even though the bat file says it's successfully installed. i used an sgp621 pre-rooted rom created with PRF creator. Now I flashed it and I lost recovery. Any idea how would this work on stock kernel with root permissions?

I tried recreating the PRF (i mistakenly put the installer zip instead of flashable zip). However, i would just like to report that if i use the Windows installer zip, it just won't work though i have proper root and on stock kernel/ROM. SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167 is the firmware. Now i made it worked by creating a flashable rom with your dual recovery on it.
Problem solved - I needed to update to the advanced kernel first.
There is a problem with the TWRP recovery - it is displaying in landscape mode while the device is booting in portrait one. So it doesn't fit the screen and it is not really functional so. Fix it please if possible. Thanks.
P.S. replaced with the file from Z3 phone and it works, but not in fullscreen.
Hi, I asked this already in the q&a but I'm not sure if anyone is keeping an eye on that section so please forgive me for asking in the main thread again:
Can anybody tell me if this recovery will work with cm12?
Thanks.

thanks a lot for your answer.
Is there any chance you could post the isolated TWRP img file?
This would allow me to install it in FOTA partition.

Actually, you can simply download and unpack the cpio file yourself. Beware: It is a cpio image and not a disk image.
@[NUT]
thanks again for answering so fast.
I just googled a little bit about how to converrt a cpio archive to a .img file, but that's definitely way over my head (if it's possible at all).
Running a windows machine doesn't seem to help, either.
So thank you very much for your advice, but before i f*** up everything I'll stay with crap cm recovery

Dear NUT,
pls take a look on postNr.10.I have the same problem,can you please fix it?

I am stock locked bootloader , which 1 should i choose in CMD??
1,2,3,4
Is it possible to use this with a locked bootloader AND restored DRM keys? I tried to restore DRM keys with advanced stock kernel... which isnt a kernel (im sure or pretty sure...) but TWRP recovery. And i ended up bricking my tablet. I ended up restoring to stock no drm keys no root yet. I couldnt use Xposed with the current methods of unlock, relock bootloader (using advanced kernel) because I couldnt access recovery. In short im asking is it possible to use this with DRM keys and Xposed under a locked botloader?

Any kind of kernel with recovery or a FOTA kernel replacement is actually a custom kernel solution. You CAN NOT restore DRM/TA when you're running a community kernel or even have something else flashed to the FOTA partition.
I am pretty sure you heard the bell ring, but don't know what rang it...
Restore TA (and with that DRM): flash sony stock kernel and restore the stock FOTA kernel, otherwise your device won't boot and be in a 'soft brick' state.

Where should one unpack it to make TWRP work? I really wish we could have it on CM12, since default CM recovery can't even automatically apply updates. Not even talking about working with exFAT :/

Hope it will get updated like the 5.0.2 aroma port with that awesome zombie kernel, sound mods like viper4android, and much more cool stuff!

Thanks for the great work. Everything seems to work except Bluetooth. The device switches on Bluetooth but does not discover any nearby devices. This problem also occurs in Safe Mode. Can you think of a reason why this might be?
Also, a minor issue: the device's model number is given as C6603....

- In normal mode, bluetooth connected with another devices. I think in safe mode not working for security
- If you dont like your device name is C6603, rename it to C5503:
open build.prop in system/ and edit all string "C66" by "C55" and "Xperia Z" by " Xperia ZR"
BT issues
I performed a factory reset and the very first thing I tried after that is bluetooth. No luck - still not working. It switches on, scans for devices but doesn't find any.
Before I decided on the factory reset, it detected my laptop for a few seconds when I rebooted the laptop, but then lost it again. It never detected my bluetooth headsets. Googling around, it seems that 5.1.1 is causing BT trouble on various devices. Also, by the way, Safe Mode does not disable BT. Trying in safe mode is a regular trouble shooting procedure for BT issues.
I don't care about the device name, just thought I should mention it.
A bigger problem is the absence of the Xperia diagnostic tool that usually is accessible from Settings/About Phone. It's not there. I downloaded the "light" version from the Playstore but this crashes every time I start it up.

Whoah, wait a moment! I just switched one of my headsets to pairing mode, then switched the BT on the phone off and on and off and on like crazy, then waited (with BT on) and suddenly it detected the headset and paired. Weird. ADDITIONAL COMMENT NEXT DAY: no further BT issues. I have been able to pair another headset and a bunch of Trackr Bravo trackers. So I can confirm that all major functions on this phone work and the ROM is very nice indeed.
I'll report further if I find out anything else.

uncomment and Rajeev, thanks very much for making this available for the ZR. This is so nice. I came from a 4.2.2 on a DoCoMo branded Xperia A. The improvements in 5.1.1 are enormous. This phone's life expectancy just increased by at least a year.
Great job!!

network issue
After flash full rom with version 2 some time network gone and come... How to fix it?
Fix via kernel adiutor then how????
installed , all perfect except the app from camera for take selfies with upgrades.
Here I present you my first Magisk module.
Description:
It boosts the torch on SONY Xperia Z2 / Z3 / Z3c devices by replacing system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg with a file that sets if_torch_vr = 500000 instead of just 25000, which is the default value by SONY.
By doing this, the flash LED is operated at 500 mA instead of just 25 mA.
In my experiences, 500 mA is a sweet spot which provides good brightness, but at the same time doesn't heat the LED too much. Still, I would advice you to not use the torch for more than about 5 minutes at a time. You use this module at your own risk. If you want to set a lower brightness, then you can edit system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg in the zip and change if_torch_vr to a value lower than 500000 before installing the module. Of course you can also use a higher value, but I wouldn't exceed 1000000 (this is also the value that SONY set in the line # Max current for Torch (uA) i_batt_max_torch of the flashled_calc_parameters.cfg file.)
Background:
The method I used was first described in a thread by @olokos which you can find here. For comparison: The extreme version you can download there (which is a flashable zip and not a Magisk module obviously) sets if_torch_vr to 1000000, which corresponds to 1000 mA or 1 A. As users reported, even at this setting the torch can be used for 5 minutes before temperature increases significantly, but I want to keep it safe by using just half of that value. If you want to know more about the user experience with different settings, I recommend you to read the above mentioned thread, as well as @antkalaitzakis96's thread, who uses the same method, which you can find here.
Compatibility:
This module should work on any SONY Xperia Z2 / Z3 / Z3c device running on Android 5.0 - 8.1.0, rooted with Magisk. I'm quite sure about this since I compared the flashled_calc_parameters.cfg files from Android 4.4 (SONY stock KitKat ROM) with Android 6.0.1 (SONY stock Marshmallow ROM) and also with Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS and Carbon Nougat ROMs) and the files were always completely identical! If you still want to check if the module will be compatible with your system before installing it, grab system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg from your system by using a root file explorer and then compare it with the flashled_calc_parameters.cfg file from the module zip file. The only difference between the two files should be the if_torch_vr line.
Enjoy!
Please leave some feedback if the module works for you.
Thanks:
Many thanks to @topjohnwu for the ingenious Magisk universal systemless interface and to @olokos for the initial torch boost mod.
Changelog:
v1.0 - Initial release
v1.1 - Updated to Magisk Module Template 1500
v1.2 - On Oct 26, 2020 @t.Lancer published an updated version in post #25 which works on newer Magisk versions. Thanks a lot!
Needed this. Thank you so much.
I love this module, I always wondered why my light was dinner than everyone else's. My light cuts through the darkness now!
Hi okij, I've used your module a bit reduced. Good work! Now there is the stock camera and I believe that the flash light so not in the camera settings is considered?The images are over-exposed in the close range. Once the module has been deactivated. Perhaps the setting can be automated to take pictures?

The module only changes if_torch_vr (comment line: "# LED If setting for Torch or video recording (uA)"), so it just affects the brightness when using the torch or when using the flash LED as a lamp when doing a video recording (which is good, because you have a brighter video lamp).
On the other hand, flash brightness is controlled by max_if_flash (comment line: "# Flash LED_If max current (uA)") which is set to 1500000 by default and not altered by the module. Therefore the module doesn't change anything when taking pictures.
Anybody having problems to install this module on Magisk 13.3? When I go to MODULES, select it and install, Magisk app freezes and I have to restart my phone. After that, I cannot open Magisk app anymore. I have to completely uinstall it and install again to be able to open the app again. On Magisk 12 it was working perfectly.
@maecar: The Problem is not Magisk 13.3, but Magisk Manager 5.1.0. There are numerous reports on the last few pages of the Magisk Support thread about the freezing issue. Until @topjohnwu fixes it, reverting to Magisk Manager 5.0.6 helps.
Mind making modulesl universal for Xperias...

I have to thank you and @AndroPlus for the initial MOD! I've been happily using it since about 2 years, but of course always had to re-apply it when updating a ROM. Now with Magisk, we can just "set and forget".

IMHO it is.
This mod is known for about 2 1/2 years by now (long before my Magisk implementation) and I haven't read of any user who damaged his phone by using it.
Anyway, as I wrote in the OP, I would advice to not use the torch for more than about 5 minutes at a time, just to go safe.

Since you don't provide any logs (installation or recovery) it's impossible to know for sure.
But, a likely issue is that this module is old and hasn't been updated for later versions of Magisk. If you're on Magisk v14+, this module won't install...

But, a likely issue is that this module is old and hasn't been updated for later versions of Magisk. If you're on Magisk v14+, this module won't install...

Yes, @Didgeridoohan is right, the module used an old template. I didn't notice that it doesn't install correctly anymore on newer Magisk versions because I only installed it once and then just updated Magisk to each newer version, which always kept the module installed.
I now updated the module to v1.1 which uses the current Magisk Module Template 1500. You can find the download in the updated OP.
Xperia Z2 / Z3 / Z3c Torch Boost v1.1 installed well on my Z3 Compact, running on Magisk v16.
Please leave a note if it works for you too now.

Here I present you my first Magisk module.
Description:
It boosts the torch on SONY Xperia Z2 / Z3 / Z3c devices by replacing system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg with a file that sets if_torch_vr = 500000 instead of just 25000, which is the default value by SONY.
By doing this, the flash LED is operated at 500 mA instead of just 25 mA.
In my experiences, 500 mA is a sweet spot which provides good brightness, but at the same time doesn't heat the LED too much. Still, I would advice you to not use the torch for more than about 5 minutes at a time. You use this module at your own risk. If you want to set a lower brightness, then you can edit system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg in the zip and change if_torch_vr to a value lower than 500000 before installing the module. Of course you can also use a higher value, but I wouldn't exceed 1000000 (this is also the value that SONY set in the line # Max current for Torch (uA) i_batt_max_torch of the flashled_calc_parameters.cfg file.)
Background:
The method I used was first described in a thread by @olokos which you can find here. For comparison: The extreme version you can download there (which is a flashable zip and not a Magisk module obviously) sets if_torch_vr to 1000000, which corresponds to 1000 mA or 1 A. As users reported, even at this setting the torch can be used for 5 minutes before temperature increases significantly, but I want to keep it safe by using just half of that value. If you want to know more about the user experience with different settings, I recommend you to read the above mentioned thread, as well as @antkalaitzakis96's thread, who uses the same method, which you can find here.
Compatibility:
This module should work on any SONY Xperia Z2 / Z3 / Z3c device running on Android 5.0 - 8.1.0, rooted with Magisk. I'm quite sure about this since I compared the flashled_calc_parameters.cfg files from Android 4.4 (SONY stock KitKat ROM) with Android 6.0.1 (SONY stock Marshmallow ROM) and also with Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS and Carbon Nougat ROMs) and the files were always completely identical! If you still want to check if the module will be compatible with your system before installing it, grab system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg from your system by using a root file explorer and then compare it with the flashled_calc_parameters.cfg file from the module zip file. The only difference between the two files should be the if_torch_vr line.
Enjoy!
Please leave some feedback if the module works for you.
Thanks:
Many thanks to @topjohnwu for the ingenious Magisk universal systemless interface and to @olokos for the initial torch boost mod.

Hey there. I've just replaced values in flashled_calc_parameters.cfg as it's written (25000 changed to 500000) using root explorer and then rebooted my phone. It worked our too! Btw, I'm running CarbonROM 8.1 rooted with SuperSU.
@okij Hi, could u make it working with Magisk V18 and newest template + Android 9.0? But i tried searching that file and it isnt here?

I didn't try Android 9 CarbonROM yet and most likely won't use it for the next couple of weeks since I need my Z3c as my daily driver and the ROM must be reasonably stable and bug-free.
Are you saying that flashled_calc_parameters.cfg isn't in folder system/etc/ anymore on Android 9?
The Torch Boost Magisk Module v1.1 still works fine with Magisk v18.0 under Android 8.1, so currently there's no need to update to the newest template.

I'm using the latest version of CarbonROM on my Z3C and the module works fine.
