Hello ...everyone
First, I happy to share music player that has long been famous in the world of music lovers. yes, this is a Walkman that was born around the year 1979.
This Walkman application extracted from Xperia S for v1, Xperia GX/T for v2, Xperia V for v3 until v4.1, Xperia Z for v4.2, and from Xperia Z1/ZU for v4.6, 4.7 and 5.0. we try to porting and modding. and finally, this is the first time that the Walkman can be run on other device with clear audio equalizer and other settings. So now you can enjoy it without the device Xperia ....
This Walkman supports all android devices that use ROM CM9/CM10 and the like as MIUI ICS / JB, AOKP, Paranoid Android, and other names that use ROM ICS / JB, and Stock JB Official ICS 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 - 4.1. 1 (for Stock Offical, recommended is deodexed).

ATTENTION :
1. BACKUP YOUR ROM BEFORE ANY FLASHING
2.Update Walkman 4.5 ONLY for Jelly Bean ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2.2 Like CM10/AOKP JB/AOSP JB/MIUI JB/Paranoid Android JB/other name with JB ROM and Stock Official JB 4.1.2 - 4.2.2 (Deodexed is recommended)
3. Update Walkman v4.2 and JB new album, movie and BE2 ONLY for Jelly Bean ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2.2 Like CM10/CM10.1/AOKP JB/AOSP JB/MIUI JB/Paranoid Android JB/other name with JB ROM and Stock Official JB 4.1.2 - 4.2.2 (Deodexed is recommended)
4. Don't Install v4.2 up on any ICS ROM/CM9, because is not supported. But for ICS/CM9 ROM just use WALKMAN v4.1/4.1.4, i think is perfect on CM9/ICS ROM.
5. For CM10/JB ROM, After Installing Update v4.0 or v4.1, Please delete semcmetadatacleanup.apk on WALKMAN.zip before install or if you already installed, just delete on system/app using root explorer, because it will be FC, because Edit Music Info currently working on CM9 only. (Fixed on v4.6 for any JB ROM)
6. Any version requires (Slim version) 30 MB - 45 MB and (Plus version / with album, movie) 50 MB to 70 MB free space on System ROM (Not Internal Memory)
TIPS AND TRICK TO USE THIS WALKMAN :
Slightly tips from me how to use, or optimize this WALKMAN app for sounded better and the maximum by default.
1. Don't combine with other or any sound mod, "except not clash and produce better sound"
2. Delete other equalizer like DSP manager + lib DSP on system/lib/soundfx with name "libcyanogen-dsp.so"
3. High quality earphones or headphones, for example : "at least" use Sennheiser CX 200 (I use this for amateur audiophile like me: D) or a comparable and higher
4. Use high quality music files, for example : "at least" use mp3 file with 192 kbps and sample rate with 44,100 kHz
Setting Sound Enhancement/Clear Audio Equalizer :
A. Use manual setting.... see screenshot :
- Clear Bass + 10
- Bass - 6
- Treble + 6
- maid treble - 2
**If the earphones is different, these settings are different too .. suit your taste
B. Use other setting :
- Checklist Clear Stereo
- Checklist Dynamic Normalizer
- Use Studio setting of surround sound (VPT) :
- Use or checklist Clear Audio+ (plus) If you play the song bass is too much, it came out more balanced sound and clarity
- Clear Bass + 10
- Bass - 6
- Treble + 6
- maid treble - 2
**If the earphones is different, these settings are different too .. suit your taste
B. Use other setting :
- Checklist Clear Stereo
- Checklist Dynamic Normalizer
- Use Studio setting of surround sound (VPT) :
- Use or checklist Clear Audio+ (plus) If you play the song bass is too much, it came out more balanced sound and clarity
NOTE :
This is just the opinion of my ears, and the sound character that I like, so feel free to specify your tastes ranging from music players, earphones until music files for experience the best music
