[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION]: which version is the last that can be used on Android 4.2.2? Thank in advance.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Non of them.

Why are you even on Android 4.2.2 anyway? :p that's so out of date now!

You need to be on at least Android 4.3 to use v9.0 and Android 4.4 for v10 and above.

Any (very) old Android versions will not be supported at all.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Malbo06:
Nope. I have to say that i disagree with you for the first time :)

Many ppl like me are looking for 4.4 that's true, but stay on 4.3 because it's stable : Look ak the 4.X, it's far from being stable many bugs, many glitchs, apps not working like they used to...

Need another proof ? I see that youuse revonate, so you should know that rom in Kitkat is not themed anymore :silly:

I think it will be a very good thing to update for 4.3, better than "force" the update to a beta build haha
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
But I really don't give a f*ck about themes :p

4.4 has many new features, sure it's not very stable but it's stable enough for daily use :p

I've only encountered about 2 or 3 bugs so far and they are only minor GUI glitches :p

Also, the audio is much better on Android 4.4.

Seriously though, it's not as buggy as you think.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cj719:
Zero now that u fully converted ur phone to GPE how do u like it in general compared to sense...been debating making the switch
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Android 4.4 is the only stock ui I like. I really despised the halo ui in jelly bean and ICS. The audio is much, much more aggressive there and better overall audio quality. Beats Audio is still there!

Much faster and smoother. I don't think I'm ever going back on sense.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CloggieUK:
Nope, this mod together with V4A works perfectly for me. No volume drops (running ARHD 40.3 and Beats).

Sent from my HTC One
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Added new hints in the OP for the upcoming surprise.

v11 might be considered an "Overkill" update but Project ERA's goal is now to take audio the the max (extreme)!

Will post full changelog on the 24th ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cj719:
Might have to give it gpe a test run
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Sound interesing...

I think we need a litle Overkill so i think you are walking on the right direction

Thanks
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] s33d1ing:
I'm guessing aosp still won't be supported in v11? I'm trying to decide if I want to go back to gpe ;)

V11 looks amazing! I can't wait!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I've given up trying to port AOSP now lol. Everytime I try, it keeps on getting a no sound bug.

Only supporting Sense 5.5 Android 4.4 and GPE Android 4.4 from now on.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thijssie909:
Good to see you on GPE, I agree it's very fast and smooth... Counting the days... :D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Androidian10:
Awesome. Been looking forward to the day when you would support GPE. Love this mod.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Can anyone try and replace audio_effects.conf with the one from a GPE Android 4.4 stock rom? I think that might be the cause of MusicFX freezing the whole system everytime...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I've decided to post the changelog early :D

Yesterday, I've spent the whole day reconfiguring asound.conf and learning more about how the plugins are used. Stock android audio resampler has completely been replaced by Secret Rabbit Code with the resampling mode set to "sampler_best" (Best quality but slow).

I'm also using 32 Bit Floating Point rather than Integer because ARM processors can process floating point natively.

Also, GPE android 4.4 and Sense android 4.4 users can install the same zip now without any problems!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thijssie909:
Awesome work once again... mod coming early too? ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
hahaha no, still, I plan on releasing it at 00:00 25th December :p isn't that early enough? xD
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maxipein:
Great changelog and awesome mod!

But I'm wondering how much of a negative effect the new version will have on battery life.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I wouldn't say it's that bad actually. You might notice more battery drain when listening to music, maybe 1-2% more battery drain than normal.

You're willing to sacrifice anything for maximum audio quality if you're a true audiophile ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
I don't think I will care :P
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
OT: I'm on your kernel now! :D Been getting really bad battery drains with other GPE kernels lately so I thought I'd give yours a try ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
Woohoo! Hope you like it, cause I really like this music mod :P I am crossing my fingers to hear good feedback :D

edit: ondemand seems better than msm-dvcs for battery in my testing

edit again: I had some audio related commits in my sense 4.3 kernel, they didn't make it into GPE kernel. I got them from aznrice's flo repo and they added ultrasound_a into the kernel instead of standard ultrasound

You got any insight as to whether it makes much of a difference?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
PM'ed to prevent further OT :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maxipein:
Yup, glad to hear that it's not much ?

I think I'd still use this even if it was a 20% battery loss ?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Lol, I'm gonna have to leave out the MediaLink HD fix because it will cause a no sound bug!

But I know most of you won't be using that :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
No one is silly enough to buy one of those :P
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mobileman88:
I understand it is bundled for some people
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cj719:
Zero I saw no ment of the audio boost mod, will it still be included?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Oh it's coming alright, gonna be released at the same time as v11.

I'm gonna make a new thread for the volume boost mod and a standalone installer because I know some people either just want the volume boost mod or just want to install Project ERA without volume boost ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nashshafrulrezza:
Wow! Sick changelog! It really make me wanna get it fast! :D

PS : You no prepare for Christmas? Or you busy being Santa around here? :D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cj719:
Gotcha.... How about making an aroma installer where the user can opt to install the volume boost, if its doable... Me I'm installing both! Hell yeah (Adam Sandler voice)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah I but despise AROMA Installer, what with the retarded syntax errors and no ui_print bugs :p

I might make an AROMA tomorrow if I don't encounter those issues again. God, those syntax errors are like my worse nightmare.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] myrigon:
I remember basic on my old bbc micro.

Syntax error go to line 4453... Aaaahhh! Never tried anything like that since then. I'd like to keep my hair!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] petiha1:
I might be silly, but I can't find a donate link. I'd love to donate for your great work, and can't wait for v11! :D I suppose it will work with 4.4.2 yeah? :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] joe460:
ERA vs. MediaLink HD dilemma

I really love the audio quality with this mod. The efforts are really appreciated and it has improved my listening experience massively! :good::victory: I also understand the issues around the MediaLink HD bug must be tough to overcome.

My only issue is that I use my MediaLink HD to show quickly photos and family videos to my 2 year old and she loves it.

I suppose I'll need to keep compromising for now. Using Dropbox to sync photos and videos from my One to my One X and use that with MediaLink HD :fingers-crossed:

Keep up the amazing work! Love it!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
You can see my donate link when you view XDA on desktop ;)

And yeah, didn't I already say a few posts ago that I'm on GPE? :P
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RazvanX:
this will work with Android Revolution HD 41.0 ?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
Yes, info is in the OP
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] codeblue315:
Cannot wait til v11, I switched from Sense to GPE 4.4.2 without reading about how this was having issues with 4.4.2, and now I kind of regret making the switch since this is an absolute essential mod. The improvement to the stock sound is really kind of shocking when you first hear it. The clarity of both the highs and bass are fantastic, and with SRS enabled it really will make a $20 pair of headphones sound 10x better, at least in my case. Really superb work here, this mod makes my phone sound better than any phone I've ever heard.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] s33d1ing:
I know you need to use music box in order to change SRS/HTC/Dolby but it's only available for sense. Is there any other options for changing those setting in gpe? Since I've never tried these options, are they worth testing out?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Surround sound effects are only available on Sense. I don't think it's possible to port it over to GPE even though GPE has some HTC framework bits inside...

BTW MusicBox is currently available only for Sense 5.5 Android 4.3, I think w00dstock is nearly done porting it for Sense 5.5 Android 4.4.

I'd say give Surround Sound effects a go when MusicBox is out for Android 4.4 :) You'll be missing out if you've never tried them before ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
Btw, venom sound enhancer is back now on ViperOne 4.0

And, how many hours to release? I know you're planning a certain time for Christmas but idk what time it is for you :P
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Probably at 12PM GMT ;)

Cant wait ´til tonight ;)... I am bit curious about " Sox (Sound Exchange)... Is it a kind of Crossfeed technology, i.e. found in Neutron Music player options: http://neutronmp.com/faq.html

In fact, i hate the UI of Neutron player, but quality is just great... ;) Merry X-Mas
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
SoX is basically the swiss army knife of audio. In a nutshell, it's basically an audio processor.

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thijssie909:
So we're just gonna use the mod and no dsp's or anything on GPE?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ba7rani:
I use stock Music Player and installed MusicFX ,, I don't think I have best choices! Is there any other suggestions ?

Thanks for this great mod : )

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
I am using Viper sound enhancer fwiw, and without it

For some reason hearing parts of songs I never heard before........... :eek:
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I highly recommend it. No effects will keep the audio quality nice and clean. If you don't care about the quiet bass on stock audio, you don't need any DSPs.

I also use Google Play Music and NO equalizers. Just stock audio (Not even beats audio!)

I want to keep the audio quality as clean as possible ;)

Trust me, the audio quality is so clean without any 3rd party DSPs. You'll get used to it in a while.

Also, the less audio filters, the lower the audio latency and less chance of getting audio clipping, distortion and noise.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ba7rani:
Thanks for ur advice :good:

I proud with ur mod , Its amazing ..... :D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tbonanno231:
I've been using v10 on CM11 without issue, and it definitely does its job. Sound quality is great! What is this no sound bug exactly?

I'm on Sprint.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
No idea but some people reported that they can't hear anything when installing the mod on AOSP.

Glad it works for you though ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:

FLAC sound on cheapo Sennheiser OverEar Headphones is just INSANE i could cry tears of joy! For real!

Remember, you will always hear a difference more in the headphones. Speaker quality is not really noticeable because... Well... They are speakers.

Hahaha that's what I love about it! Its super clean and when the bass is strong in parts of the song, its really strong :p

Yup. Venom sound enhancer is basically MusicBox so you can use it with SRS effects ;)

I flashed ARHD 41 with purexaudio 9, then I flashed over project era 10 and now v11, it is ok or is better to flash on clean install, with no other sound mods?

just flash over :)

It's always better for a clean install but it doesn't really matter ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GelullaBarr:
listening Metallica I I have some distortion on max, but is mp3, I will play some flacs and came back with feedback
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
distortion really depends on how well your tracks are mixed/extracted from CDs.

For example, I have Trivium - Vengeance Falls album and most of the audio have distortion by kick drums but we can't do much about that.

Another example, Rise Against - Survivor Guilt has some major distortions where not even oversampling can do anything with it.

FLAC does help with distortions but if the audio was recorded with distortion originally, we can't get rid of that distortion entirely.

It really annoys me that some albums are recorded/mixed badly because whatever I try, I can't get rid of the distortions!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Freak07:
Learned that also with time. for me red hot chilli peppers albums are not recorded well. Just another example.

But your mod is as always just brilliant. Thanks a lot zero! Merry Christmas. Take a brake from all that and enjoy the last bit of Christmas time!

you are right, some song are realy cool with distortion....I will do more tests, now I have some problem with HTC One X of my friend...bootloop
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sneakyghost:
First report:

CPU load seems drastically increased. While reading through XDA and listening to music in the background, all 4 cores hover around 918 - 1728 and the phone is hot after 30 minutes.

Battery going down quick.

This is on the new ViperOne 4.0 RC1.

Will keep watching this but I suspect the ALSA processing you mentioned in post #1 just needs that much processing?

[EDIT]

Ok if leaving the phone alone and just play music with screen on, core activity slowly dies down to 3 cores idle and core 0 at min freq 384.

Not too bad after all. Gotta see where this load is originating from then.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
Sneaky! Sup mate

I do not have much change in using freqs.. I'll monitor the freqs used tomorrow on my setup too

Sure though that the device wasn't input boosted at those times?

Man I don't know I might as well have made a mess of my system yesterday. I'll start over today or tomorrow and see how it behaves then.

This sound work is just too cool. It HAS to run properly :p

mobile viper bite
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Of course, for an audiophile, you are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of audio quality.

ALSA processing needs that much processing due to extreme Oversampling and 32 Bit audio.

I wasn't lying when I said, Very powerful ALSA processing in the OP :p

The audio quality is so great now that it is worth sacrificing Battery and Performance ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sneakyghost:
I'll find a way to have it behave. The phone I mean. It's not using more than min freq on one core when not touched :p

No you are wrong lol. Just search this thread, it's there
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gerton:
I did search... Thanks for asking.

But I didn't find more than:

And a post where it says that Era 11 and volume increase mod will be released together....
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
released together means release at the same time...

Also, have you check the HTC One Themes and Apps section before asking this question?

I did say " it will come as a separate mod in another thread which I will make soon "
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Freak07:
okay i assume you observed this while screen was on, right?

on my setup it uses significantly higher clock speeds when screen is off. You could for example install CPU spy.

then clear state let it play one or two songs and hit refresh.

from my observations it does use mostly 384 when screen is on and jump only occasionally to higher freqs.

but with screen off it hovers at the highest clocks.

i'm running latest renovate sense svn build and latest elemental kernel. It's a very strange issue. I do know that this mod must consume more power than default audio but the fact that the usage is higher when screen is off is a little bit irritating

Will also inform flar2 about this as I'm thinking this is more about the kernel.
