[SOUNDMOD][SurroundSound][XSP]UPDATE V1.2 11-11 - Xperia SP Themes and Apps

Hi all, I have modded the Xperia SP snd_soc_msm_2x file so that it will use earpiece aswell as loudspeaker while playing music, watching youtube etc.
I found this on monivan's stereomod thread for the xperia Z (which i have) and I find it so cool that I wanted this on my sister's XSP so now I'm sharing here with you!
Also, want to make clear that @monivan did make the initial test file for XSP.
Without him i probably didn't make this for you guys!
First of all, PLEASE DO A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT FILE BEFORE PROCEEDING!!
It is located in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x
DISCLAIMER:
Everything you do is your choice, if you missing any important call or getting fired because of alarm didn't work, you busting your earpiece or thermonuclear war starts off and you point your finger at me, I will laugh at you.
I take no responsibility for your actions.
REQUIREMENTS :
-Rooted phone with busybox installed
-Stock rom (may also work on AOSP/CM, don't know try it yourself and let know here)
NOTE: THESE ARE NOT FLASHABLE ZIP FILES!
How to install:
1. Download SurroundSound-xx-xx.zip file.
(links available in download section)
(if not available request desktop version)
2. Move your stock/current snd_soc_msm_2x from /system/etc/snd_soc_msm to any location on your sd card.
3. Unzip the zip file you just downloaded and copy to /system/etc/snd_soc_msm
4. And set correct permission rw-r-r a.k.a. 0644
Like this:
XX0
X00
X00
5. Reboot
6. Turn down your volume before using and increase slowly to test safely.
I tuned volume values so that sound is not distorting at all kind of genres, with any music player at full volume with no equaliser settings active.
But please be careful using this!!
To test if it works see: Left/Right Stereo Audio/Visual Test.: http://youtu.be/dvqbq_0jZ_U
Have fun!

Ok I reuploaded the file just to be sure.
About loudspeaker: there is not supposed to be changes in that, this mod links the earpiece to loudspeaker to play together.
You can test this by putting your finger on the back speaker to cap it off while playing music, or see this: Left/Right Stereo Audio/Visual Test.: http://youtu.be/dvqbq_0jZ_U
About your headphones: I have changed nothing to that, only to speaker and earpiece.
You can try replacing your original file and disable v4a, test, then replace it with this mod and test again :thumbup:

I've tested on both aosp and stock rom, are you sure your speaker is damaged?
Did you have any other audio modification installed? Any equalizer settings?
Maybe you can try to reset those or flash another rom and try this again. To make sure

So you did have cm DSP manager bass enhancement activated when trying this?
I'm asking this so that it can warn others maybe.
Also, you mean the speaker on the back of the phone? Loudspeaker?
Coz that's strange since I didn't increase volume for back speaker.

doubt
How much battery does it drain ?

Depends on volume and how many music / movies you play. But I don't think it consumes much.

Will look into that, but first I'm digging in creating better sound quality.
Although manual install is simple, just follow step by step instructions in OP and make sure to backup before.

Hi my phone is running on CM11 and i did as u said above, but i didnt like this much, so i reverted with original file. i dont know whether it is because i forget set permission for the original file the phone was not booting to the home screen, it was juz running the CM logo. So i had no other way than flashing again with CM11 zip.
Anyone could find any way to get the original Xperia SP sound and display back in CM11?
Is there any way to add Clear Audio+, True Bass, XLoud and Bravia engine 2 to Xperia SP running on CyanogenMod11 ??
Please Help..

The bootloop you describe has nothing to do with the file. Phone boots fine without it.
And to answer your question, no. Only way is run stock rom.
