Xperia z2 best Mods (NO ROOT) - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good afternoon!
I myself do not know much Russian and English so I will write through the Google translator.
Yesterday I became the owner of a remarkable smartphone Xperia z2. Android is updated to version 5.1.1.
On your website I saw a lot of new and interesting, and his head was spinning.
Advise me as to the maximum to improve my android 5.1.1. Which audio mods or may put a little (a lot of them out there, for example проект Project Soniko, Port Xperia Z3 WALKMAN™ v3.6 Beta, [THDR Alliance] Project Desire 5.0, Harmoforia, Project PXBA™ | DEAF Mode Available, Dolby Digital+ and Beat Sound Mod v1...)? What fashion put on the camera and be sure which one is better? How else to improve the system will advise ?!
Only interested UNROOT and UNRECOVERY MODS.

There are no such mods for unrooted. Root your device, it's not hard and it can be reverted.

[Q] New android 4.0 Xperia S apps

Hi,
recently, I have upgraded my Xperia Arc S to the official sony android 4.0 rom for 2011 xperias, which is quite nice.
But today (21st June, 2012), Sony released a new android update for the Sony Xperia S, which is different from the android 4 for my arc. Here is the video about it: youtube.com/watch?v=i189IkIvJc0&feature=player_embedded
I noticed that among everything else, Xperia S got 3 new awesome apps: "Walkman", "Album" & "Movies." The "Messaging" app also got updated with useful new features [shown in video at 2:45]. Would anybody be willing to make these 4 apps available on other Xperia phones as well?
You may try to copy APKs files.
I'm not sure about that.
Wait a bit, devs will port this fast I think.

Sound enhancements restricted in lollipop

According to xperia z3 users in xperia mobile forums, lollipop update has limited sound enhancements to movie player + walkman app and a few more playstore apps.
This is because the sound enhancement is no longer system-wide compared to kitkat.The 3rd party app developer has to include code to support sound enhancements otherwise you don't use it with third party apps.
Can any lollipop user open subway surfers, then listen to it's song for a bit and turn clearaudio+ off, return to game and see if there's any difference? I want to confirm if it's the same for us Z2 users.
I have done that in subway surfers using kitkat and it did make a difference in sound.
Bumping thread, I just need someone who's using lollipop to confirm if clearaudio+ or loudness equalazation works in subway surfers. :fingers-crossed:
This is important for me as it confirms that lollipop still enhances 3rd party apps' sounds.
Thanks in advance
I don't particularly have the game, so I can't help with confirming your query.
But I have tried it for the youtube app and found that the sound enhancement does not work. I also tried toggling clearaudio+ on and off and adjusting the equalizer while soundcloud was playing a song in the background and nothing was happening. From this I think that there is no sound enhancement present in 3rd party apps. It was not like this before when I still had kitkat.
Sorry if this doesn't help.
@Arunumeric
I requested info on that particular game because some users said enhancements didn't work for youtube in KK anyway and well it's a commonly played game :silly:
It seems like that was a false information.Enhancements work for me on youtube (on kitkat now) and appereantly it doesn't work on lollipop.
Thank you for confirming
Guess I won't be updating to lollipop until sony changes their mind on this or something worthy comes out (better camera software perhaps)
P.S. to keep yourself updated on this topic read what support team says. : https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...blem-after-lollipop-update/td-p/955035/page/5

Here are more informations about this issue:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22726
As the sony support stated this is not removed by sony its removed by android. You can call it stupid and it is indeed, but it won't change this in lollipop. There is also no plan to change this in any next releases of android.
So here is the intent every application have to implement to use a system wide equalizer:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect.html#ACTION_OPEN_AUDIO_EFFECT_CONTROL_SESSION
you see its not a mess for a developer of a media player to use the system equalizer. This feature was available since Android 2.3 Gingerbread, enough time for everyone.

Which custom ROM for an efficient camera use?

Hi,
I'm a bit new to custom ROMs although I've known for a long time what advantages it could bring. Today, I need to develop, for a project, an efficient and low latency streaming app from my old SIII camera. I thought that there may be a custom ROM that would enhance JPEG frames compression by a better use of CPU/GPU, however I did only find "Camera improved" on ROMs descriptions. I thought of Android Revolution HD, but not sure at all!
Any ms gained is good to take, so I'll be glad if anyone could help a bit here!
Thanks in advance
Try archidroid 3.0.2 (KK).
CM
Hi,
CyanogenMod and all based ROMs have got Snap-Camera. It's very good.
Download:
CyanogenMod: cm-13.0-20160115-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip
AICP: aicp_i9300_mm-11.0-NIGHTLY-20160116.zip
Thanks, I'll look for both of these CM!
However I just don't see how snap camera can help me, I haven't any source code that could help me developping an optimal JPEG images diffusion stream (like done here at the end of the article -> google "peepers fox dog studio", can't post link yet)
Also, does anyone know if there is a possibility to mod S3 camera in order to record in [email protected] ?

Audio EQs not working on A37

Hello there,
I have recently switched to an Oppo A37f. I downgraded it and managed to root it. Viper 4 android is one of the favorite applications I use so I went ahead and installed it. However, despite installing all the V4A drivers and stuff, i feel no difference in the audio quality. The system comes with default Dirac HD which doesn't even come close to how good V4A performs. I would like to have someone help me with Viper for Android soonest, as it is one of the main things I need on any phone.
Thanks !
PS:
-Does this have to do something with color os ? I've worked on MIUI, stock android and never had this issue.
-Apart from viper for android i've used non root apps like Bass EQ, Bass Bosster, V4A(on play store) from the play store but none of them make any change to the audio no matter how much I mess around with the values on the EQ.
Is V4A Status: Normal and Processing: Yes?
Have you frozen your ROMs default EQ?
Also you might have better luck posting here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oppo-a37

CineAlta pro camera app

Can anyone who own the device extract CineAlta pro apk and post it on Xda... i was a sony user before and a Samsung user as Sony stopped selling devices after xperia xz2 here in India. However I have seen Xperia 1s promo videos and absolutely no love Cine alta pro app for video..i would like to install it on Galaxy S10 if it is possible..
Here you go mate.
It doesn't work, I tried it on my Xperia XZ3, so did I with the Game Enhancer also didn't work.
Please, let us know how to get them installed on our phones.
Thanks!
Doesn't works on X10 plus.
I not sure if the cinema pro app will work on the previous xperia phones, I think, due to the way that camera 2 api is implemented. You might be able to try putting a better implementation of the api on the xz3 and see if that helps?
The cinema pro app is pretty limited. It has only two resolutions, both at 21:9. But! The images out of the camera are really great. The color gamut is very good, and noise reduction is well implemented and natural looking, giving a nice image.
If anyone familiar with camera apps could mod this package and open up other video size resolutions, that would be really something.

Can't be done, maybe there is a version you can install, but you would never have all functions, the app is made for a specific hardware
