this work is based on my experiment on tipo's and xperia s's sound lib and apks. as you might already know, xperia s have clear bass option along with their xloud. on tipo, we only have xloud mod. after several experiment with the sound libs and apks, with some help from ethan, I succesfully know how to port this feature into tipo. the good news is that porting this stuff is easy. the badnews, native sound setting for tipo have better, stronger, solid bass. however, clear bass still have better sound clarity and virtualizer effect. if you want to feel clear bass on your device, you can use this mod on your device.

the files can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?89v86tqe3zf46o4 (sorry, no flashable zip file yet since we dont have cwm at this moment. you need to copy those files manually into your system. the correct permission is rwxrwxrx). you can reboot after install all these files into your system.

the default setting is using native tipo's soundlibs with xperia s's virtualizer. if you want to activate clear bass, you can follow these step.
in /vendor/etc you'll find two files. one *conf file and one *confb file. the default setting is using our native equalizer lib with clear bass's virtualizer and effect. if you don't like it, rename the conf file into confa and the confb into conf then restart. the sound enhancement app only work with android music player, and google music player. you can download it from google play.

don't forget to choose sound enhancement as your default music effect. you can set it on setting>sound>music effect>

along with this mod you'll also get:
1. xperia s galery app
2. xperia s video player
3. bravia engine
4. etc. (you can find it by yourself)

to use bravia engine you'll need a rom with init.d support. you can choose to activate it or you can go to /data then made (or edit) local.prop. put these lines on it.
Code:
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

btw, this stuff only tested on tipo but it should working on miro too. this tweak include a beats app styled equalizer app. if you want to know more about this app you can visit this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1913164

TIPS TO GET LOUDER SOUND:

Until there's update for this stuff there won't be any flashable zip. I know, its not convenience to copy the files one by one but I need to make sure the filesgot copied into system. Last time I checked into cwm thread there's a report about problem when install a flashable zip.I

For the bravia engine...after you copied all the files into your system n reboot, check into setting-display. If there's no braviaengine option copy two lines mentioned in 1st post intoyour local.prop in /data then reboot. If you don't have local.prop in /data you can made one by yourself. Sorry for late answer...its alil bit cramped here.

I sense a difference in Poweramp too, though I can't be sure.But it's definitely more clear, no extra bass though.Still, it's quite more clear.

if you're using the files without modification, you're actually using tipo's stock soundlibs with xperia s visualizer. if you want to feel sony's clear bass, you can follow the instruction given in 1st post. the sound clarity is a lot better than the stock one but the bass isn't as solid as the stock one. sony's clear bass is using different equalizer lib with lower freq setting to get a better-clearer-solid bass. however, our stock earphone doesn't have good low freq response. thus, you feel the bass isn't as solid as the stock one. to get a better music experience you might want to use a better earphone. something with bass reflect feature might a good choice.

beats audio isn't compatible with sony's audio system. the only way to restore your system is by flashing a stock rom with flashtool. you can try replacing all files in /system/lib/soundfx/ with my files and replace libaudioeffect_jni.so with the one from my pack to get your sound back. however, you might still lost your xLoud.

I never tried it but it should be working. I alwaysprefer to use flashtool since I can do it anytime without internet connection. if you use sony's update service you'll need a good internet connection to download the rom.

    ringtones, system sounds, music have different channel (I don't know what to call it but lets call it channel). this mod only affect games and music channel. ringtones and radio are using different channel so that it doesn't affect them. as long as you didn't use tipo/miro's stock music player this mod will work.
