Is there going to be an update for official 5.1.1? I love your mod and have used it on countless 4.3,4.4.2,4.4.4,5.0.2, stock and custom roms and it worked like a charm, only if you update the mod so we have same options for LP as for KK, i also used it for 5.1.1 cm based roms, gonna try it with stock 5.1.1 as soon as i find working method for recovery.
Cheers mate :D

Do you intend to re-do this StereoMOD for 5.1.1? I know it still works because I just tested it but it doesn't seem to work as well as before.

Many thanks

I know guys, the 5.1.1 update is there! My mod is still working, I wanted to follow Sony design team policy, don't fix what is not broken (Omni-Balance Design). Since u guys said it doesn't work as well as before, I'll try to update it. If I have some free time, I will rework the mod with sony 5.1.1 based. It's quite alot of work with making those Hundreds files for each and every single configurations available for both Stock Sony and AOSP or CM rom. Also with 10 thousands lines of code to cover all those complex configurations. Last time, I spend almost 3 hours debugging error code and found just 1 missing “DOUBLE QUOTE” symbol.
To sum up, there will probably be an update, when is still unknown! Have a nice day!

Hi, thanks for the reply, I tested the MOD on stock 5.1.1 and it works like always, I chose aroma installer and installed as kitkat version since it works on every stock firmware for me, you did good job there, there is no actual need for improvements overall, perhaps only update the options so it says for sony stock or cm.. based roms, also, this is the only mod I can not use my xperia without
cheers :D

you're right m8, it works perfectly on stock 5.1.1... and i have to say, This is one of the very few stable mods i used , never had an issue with it, no fc's .
and the installer is great you get to backup and if you wanted to restore it does that, and on top all of that it has a lot of different configurations , and to have all that and have little to no issue or bugs is an accomplishment in itself... Again Great work .

download v5.0-AROMA from OP, flash from recovery, you'll enter Armoa,
in armoa you can 1st make a backup... if you do, you'll need to flash and enter aroma again,
in armoa follow instructions (very clear) but don't choose Lollipop choose KitKat, the LP in this rom is for non stock LP roms.
and that's it.

Hi, I am on a 5.1.1 rom called Infinitive OS, and it does not include kernel sound settings. I flashed this mod and it works perfectly fine, but I would really hope to know how to further increase the earpiece volume. I have selected crazyloud, but it isnt loud enough for apps like whatsapp and viber, and so I still have problems hearing the other party on the train or bus. I know the earpiece can go louder because Ive used other roms before and they were way louder than crazyloud. (I'm not complaining anything, just hoping to know if there is a way to make the earpiece even louder, the speaker is very loud btw) thanks for the awesome stereomod!

It is possible, but u have to do it manually. Previous mod has earpiece volume increased, but some small bugs arise like Super loud earpiece speaker sometimes. So this build i have tune it down to stock level.

Thanks for the prompt reply, and I guess you are referring to the Lollipop-Beta version. I will try it out and see! thanks.

For the time being at least until you update your mod, how can I change sound levels back to stock 5.1.1? After I install this mod, it's too loud for me compared to 5.0.2 even at the same sound setting and that is causing it to lose a bit of clarity etc.

Basically, I want to retain sound levels/volume as in stock 5.1.1 but still have StereoMod working if that makes any sense.

Thanks

Yes, I chose the lowest option.

Basically, at 70% of the volume, on stock 5.1.1 it's nice and clear but when I install this mod, it then becomes louder as if it's at 100% or more and that is causing it to degrade in quality even though I didn't touch the volume.

Hope it's clear now.
