Clearly your asking in the correct section. I think he means that this has already been covered in another post on the z3c forum, Anyway... Install the 2nd of the apk (the largest file size) follow on screen instructions and you should be good to go. Don't forget to enable v4a in settings too ?
Just FYI, I installed superior mode and works perfectly

It works with Walkman ?

Not sure, I deleted Walkman. It definitely works with poweramp and bubbleupnp and Google music

I thought it was in the general section
Did you check if the driver is enabled? You can check that @ V4A settings.
I'm not sure if it works with Walkman, I tried it with Walkman and it seemed to work fine for me, or maybe i'm just crazy. I use PowerAmp myself.

[Q] SOund bug : 4.3 build .136 and NO Equalizer or Effect working anymore!

Well guys,
I spotted a new problem, confirmed yesterday night (I wasn't sure, since I updated my new Z1 even before starting to use it). My old Z1 was running 4.2.2, though it had black screen wild restart issue from the opening (I was unlucky!), the equalizer were working without problem. I also use two amps that are able to boost the bass and enhance vocals by themselves so I was blinded.
Since I updated to 4.3 build .136, I don't have any equalizer working anymore. Nor the Walkmann one, nor Noozxoide, Noor Bass Booster. Nothing seems to work. Just a moment ago I had an update for Walkmann which was useless, the problem remains.
Is there a way to fix this? I'm not rooted. I will go the root way if I can sort this out. My only worry about root is the bootloader thing, a member already answered me about this but I had not the chance to check my version nor how to keep it unlocked if already unlocked.

As you are not rooted I don't think so... It is a bug present on the z also in the newest build... Wait for the next update is my advice or install recovery...

Ok, have the Xposed Framework installed allready for gravity box and gem xperia, will try the superuser mod. Let's see if it works!

Be warned that the "superuser mod" disables signature verification in your rom. This is a very bad idea and a huge security risk. I see this superuser mod recommended everywhere and I believe it's part of a very popular rom and nobody ever explains the risks involved with using it.
I'd advise using the Xposed module "DisableSignatureCheck" to temporarily disable signature verification when installing modded system apps and immediately enable signature verification again afterwards.
Edit - I apologise for not reading correctly (it's early here lol). I incorrectly thought you were going to flash the Superuser mod. I see that it's also part of the Xperia Xposed module.
However you enable it, it's still very important that you make sure you disable the Superuser mod after you've used it. ?

I read allready about the superuser mod few weeks ago, didn't tried it till now. I'm happy so far with my ( finally updated ) rooted clean .230 fw, LB. The widget isn't sooo important, but would be nice to have it again.
Maybe some smart guy will port the widget from 4.3 for 4.4, i'm personally not able to do this. Let's see!

Don't get me wrong. It's fine to temporarily disable signature verification to install a system app that's from a trusted source like this, then enable it again afterwards. I'm saying that it's not wise or safe at all to have it disabled permanently. ?
I just noticed another rom has been released with this superuser mod integrated, with no mention of what it is or the implications of it to enable users to make an informed decision whether to use the rom or not. There are potentially hundreds of users of these roms that are unaware that they're using unsecured roms on their devices. ?

4.4.4 Stock 108 Runs ART?

I had read somewhere that 4.4.4 is defaulted to use ART runtime. Can someone install and check https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magicalboy.artchecker
ps I installed xposed framework, so now i know it forced to Dalvik. Not sure was it ART earlier or not.
Nope.

ART will be the default in the L release, which isn't even finished yet.

Can't ART be enabled by changing the specific runtime line in the build.prop? Or am I dreaming right now?

No. It's an option in Developer settings, but HTC, Sony, Samsung and LG removed the code for it, or buried it very, very deeply
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk
Why can't someone prepare flashable zip for stock ROMs. I've been using ART on nexus since a while now. And even there's a way to enable it on HTC one.
Well, according to this post at BGR, it should be possible -- however, I cannot see the option to change runtime on my 4.4.4 Generic FR .108
Anyone had luck with this? Perhaps one of the other customizations?

I read somewhere that switching ART in xperia causes bootloop
I did a browse through the .108 firmware using root explorer. The ART library isn't in /system/lib. You can try switching all you like, Android just switches back to Dalvik (Yes, I tried it )

Code is not removed, it's just disabled, you can re-enable it but that is meaningless, phone will be bootloop when switch to ART.

Wow this actually worked! It now says processing: yes for both headset and speaker.
(although speaker volume doesn't seem to change get much louder with eXtra-Loud enabled, all the settings work and do something now!)
All the sony v4a versions, and universal compatibility fixes didn't do squat but your magical zip worked wonders. Cheers sir!
Does it run in CM13???
yes run on CM13 and AiCP... Dont forget to install Busybox

Please advise
SeLinuxModeChanger is not working saying I don't have Root... Any special instructions?
Did anyone get the convolver to work? I tried the OP's way, and v4a is processing, driver working etc but when I enable the convolver option and choose different irs files, I notice no difference in sound..
Just flash O3 ROM and flash ViPERAudio 4.7.1 Stock.zip from here. No need for se linux changer which is bugged anyway and says you don't have root.

I tried an rooted and non rooted X performance and both do NOT have working EQ, Clear Audio, Sound effects etc. I do get sound fine but any change I make within the Audio settings menu does nothing.

Your non-root phone unlocked bootloader also?
If yes, that mean DRM patch doesn't fully work on .297.
