Simple review of the sound quality

I test the sound quality through musics, lossless (wav) format, using Apple In-Ear (a dual balanced-armature). Gone is the engaging vocals (mids)! Musics are now heard way more laid back. The treble (highs) is still prominent and not harsh, but I cannot recognize any different quality from both stocks (SENSE and GE). Nevertheless, there is airy nuance on some musics that I was not aware of before, this could be the effect of the combination of laid back mids and prominent highs. This results in more prominent soundstage. The bass (lows) is less emphasized but its impact could still be felt. The worse things are the distorion is higher and the lack of definition. By that I mean any musical instrument sounds dull and the separation of them is worse than stocks. I recognized the separation of sounds of stocks was not very good, but they were better than this mod. About this sound quality, my suspicion is on the surround-like quality this mod try to apply (dunno which decoder serve that purpose). W/ the sound signature, I guess that this mod will be best serving for movies rather than musics. I wish there will be mod that provide switches for every features so that I can tailor myself for my preference, or both this and stocks side-by-side. Please, feel free to take my review w/ a grain of salt. I do not intend to disrespect the work of the developer or disregard any positive opinion. This subject is a matter of preference, which is not mine.

Use better earphones or headphones lol
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sue4:
Lol. I have predicted that the 1st comment on my review would be on the earphone. I use my phone for hearing musics mostly while commuting. I felt no need to use a very good sounding earphone for that purpose. The phone was on stock sound. So, to do justice for it, I review this mod using the same earphone. In fact, better earphone does not always mean better sound. I have tried Westone um3x-rc and Etymotic er4pt for this mod. The distortion is more prominent on them. So I guess the more sensitive the earphone, the more likely it will reveal the flaw of this mod
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wiz:
I can confirm higher distortion also on Logitech UE 9000 and Sennheiser MM 550-X. Also align with the previous post when it comes to the general approach on audio enhancements... Since it always is a matter of taste, a higher degree of control over which enhancements to activate or deactivate would be welcome

I too do not have the 2 lib modules either. Should we manually copy these modules from the Mod zip into our system/lib/modules folder and set permissions?

Is this viable to try?

There isn't much point because apparently it doesn't load for you guys anyway...

Thanks! Looks like I'm going to update my ARHD 13.1 to 13.3! Appreciate the help.

And thank you again Zero. This mod alone makes me never want to switch back to an iPhone lol.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Zero said this before. He completely removed everything, except the tweaked Dolby config files. But the Dolby atmos was older too, so it wouldn't work on newer Android.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Where does the ds1 XML get installed to. I thought it was under system vendor etc but stock one is there
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
That's right. It's under vendor/etc/dolby

That's is the location for HTC Dolby conf
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
That's what I thought but the stock ds1 is in that location. Not the same file that's in the download folder. Says acoustiX in system so should be file should be changed
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Some screenshots of the system folder and can you run the install again and save the log of aroma and upload?gonna take a look.

That's how it should look like
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Not sure how to save log in aroma. What screen shots of system file do you need. Sorry new to xda. Not sure how to upload. Again sorry
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
These are the files
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Files shows can't access system vendor etc
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
This is with optimal resonance. Last file was overdrive still says can't access system vendor etc
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Tried installing new rom no change. Still won't access system

Previous rom viper 3.1 now on ice rom 2.2 sprint. Any help would be appreciated
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Please don't create always new post, edit your current post instead.

Are you sure system is mounted properly?

If system is mounted and still doesn't work please update twrp to 3.0.2-6
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
I installed file manually. MOD sounds very good. Sorry for the new post. Like I said new to xda. How do I tell if system mounted correctly? Will try to install new trwp
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Under mount you can see if system is ticked or not. And under advanced you have the file manager. There you can see if you can open any folder of system. But normally after updating twrp it should work
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Installed new trwp. Still didn't work. I can only get it to work if I manually put ds1 folder in /system vendor etc. Did notice it it normal to have /vendor system etc. Both folders look identical

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Noticed 1 folder in /vendor/system/etc and the folder this is supposed to be installed in is /system/vendor/etc. When I manually put the ds1 folder that I downloaded ( v29). Both files changed to showing the ds1 folder that I had manually changed but I only changed one. Still getting error for system see above log a few posts up. Just wondering what I am doing wrong.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Just to report V29 WORK perfect on M8 using the latest SL 1.0.1 ROM that is Full port of HTC 10, All the presets are amazing my fav is AcoustiX+

Also i can really notice the difference with AcoustiX Resonance Speaker Boost Mod and HiFi on Speakers.

Thank you Zero
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Amazing! This is how my mod should be :)

Better compatibility and works with whatever HTC rom that includes fully working boomsound with Dolby :)

I'd say after 4 months of constantly fine tuning these presets, it was totally worth it :D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Can you upload a screenshot? Very strange as I'm r running Lee droid and everything is good, even with viper which I had before. Must be really something on your end. You may have to completely wipe system, data , cache and dalvik cache and clean flash your ROM. But at first show a screenshot. Either upload directly here. On PC you need to use advanced reply and on phone depends on which app you use, otherwise upload it to any hoster like Dropbox or so and link it here

System/vendor/etc/Dolby. This is what you should have. There shouldn't be any other vendor/etc or whatever
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I'm using a HTC 10.

If I'm right, just ds1-default.xml will be replaced?

That means I can backup my original one and restore it to "remove" this mod without dirty flasing my current ROM?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Balajumb:
Hey man which dolby mode you're using with this mod?

The full hw working one or one of the three others?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yes
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
Really weird
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
The -1 is stock the other is the one I manually put there
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Everything is right there. The vendor folder without system is just a Shortcut. No need to worry. It's just one Folder. But you have in root Folder one Shortcut for vendor and the original Folder is just under system
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Basically, don't over complicate things. If you can't flash because something's wrong with your phone, either mount system manually in TWRP then flash the zip, or take the ds1-default.xml config from your chosen folder in the sound mod zip, copy/paste to /system/vendor/etc/dolby, replace the stock file with the new one.

Do not do or think about anything else not listed on this post. Don't over complicate because it should be very simple to install even manually.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CharliesTheMan:
Zero I tried sending you a PM but I had tapatalk problems, PM problems etc lol.

I think I'm having the same problem as the other user reported. I'm running the latest TWRP, Viper and ElementalX. I tried mounting system in TWRP and flashing, same results, if I'm looking for the right file. I know I can just copy the file but in case this was helpful I did the process and got a log and screen shot.

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
HTC can't tune Dolby for sh!t, truth be told they are only using the GEQ in stock dolby configs. No surround or any other Dolby tech enabled except for dialogue enhancer. Their tunings are half-assed done imo, for the past 2 years I've gotten very experienced with tuning audio configs.

It's really strange only happens to a very small amount of people, it is fine for most people including myself and [MENTION=4645599]DeeZZ_NuuZZ[/MENTION]

I'm afraid I can't give any specific solutions to this problem, however it might have something to do with mounting. Make sure busybox is installed and up to date, because my installer script has always used busybox to mount the system (easier and more universal way of mounting partitions rather than getting the mmc block number since it's different for every device).
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
[MENTION=7715550]Mike Grace[/MENTION] if you installed viper or any other custom Rom, busybox should be up-to-date. Me and zero really dont get why you have problems... We flashed it properly...

I will take a look again into the recovery log..that's so strange.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
I really appreciate your help
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
My apologies, looks like it was my fault in the end after all! it was something to do with the install script, I got the syntax wrong in some lines which caused this error to be present in all install options!

If you and everyone else managed to install manually (i.e. by copy/pasting the file to system manually) well done! I will be reuploading very shortly!

EDIT:

REUPLOADED!

Installer should definitely be fixed now! Also side note: WOW 197 downloads on v29 in 1 day! I didn't think it would be that popular :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mike Grace:
I tried all the sound mod that I can find so far and this one is by far the best that I have heard so far

Thank you very much for allowing us to have the BEST sound for our HTC devices. :) The clarity of the top speaker is amazing and so is the quality. :D I’m also loving the sound quality of my ear buds.

You nailed it bro, just like [MENTION=7715550]Mike Grace[/MENTION] said, I tested the new file and the installer wrote to system like it should. Thanks you and deez nuts (sp)

Pfft, there's penguins in the arctic ordering headphones just to try out this MOD.

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] naughty6t9:
Reuploaded mean do v have to flash again...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
If you installed it manually when I first released it, no need to flash this new one. If you flashed the release zip, refresh this one because the old zip would look like install successful but nothing actually installs.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
Hey Zero, great to see you showing the 10 some love! :D

Would you think it's ok to mix this mod with [MENTION=5357345]ahrion[/MENTION]'s Atmos port? or will that be DSP overkill?

Would it still give any problems if I lower the headphone digital gain?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] makysssdroid:
Greats sound mod but when press back the Dolby mod not running any fix or solutioms for me
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Mix the mod with ahrion's Atmos port? you either use Atmos port or HTC boomsound with Dolby. If you use Atmos port, you can't use BoomSound with Dolby rendering my mod useless.

Volume controls have nothing to do with my audio mod.

Dolby mod does not exist anymore in v29. Also, not my problem, if you search the thread you will know this is a very known bug, no solution to it so far.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kyuubi10:
Why can't it work?

I just like being able to adjust EQ settings when needed.

Is there any hope for it ever in future?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Because overprocessing with 2 dolbys working at the same time, also that I already have an EQ installed so modifying the EQ even more could cause distortions.

Try it if you want but if you encounter any bugs it won't be my problem because it wasn't intended to be used that way.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] silegeek:
I have installed this (flashed via TWRP) however, it seems to have done nothing at all, unless im just misunderstanding how to use it.

In the boomsound options, it just gives me theatre and music. No other variables or options.

Via headphones brings up the "boomsound with dolby" setting, but again, none of the settings described that this one should enable.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
You should probably read the OP again.

Here's the vital part you probably misread:

If you know how to change headset profiles in BoomSound settings, you should have no problems with this mod.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
speakers only have theatre and music. in the new update, theatre mode is tweaked. either louder or even more louder, or just stock volume, but for each of them, the preset is tweaked to sound better, too.

also so are the headphones presets tweaked..

but dude....why not reading the OP? everything explained there. you just need 1-2 minutes to read and you will know much more about this mod...

How does Kronos v4 sound with v29?

And how does this effect DAC/AMP?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mostafa Wael:
Kronos should work totally fine with AcoustiX Audio mod, however that is not guaranteed and sometimes a Kronos version breaks something. [MENTION=4645599]DeeZZ_NuuZZ[/MENTION] can elaborate here ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yea Dolby works fine. No issue for now. I suggest you to backup system (not the image) in twrp and flash the mod. After that you can see if and how much difference there is
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BodhiBrock:
This new Acoustix version along with Kronos v4 for High Times Cellular 10 sounds amazing...best ever! Thanks for your work!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p50kombi:
Any chance you could link the specific Kronos you're installing for the 10?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
if you already have visited the ainur sound thread, just head to kronos part and get the kronos v4, there should be clearly visible that this is for the 10 :) that's what i've flashed
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TotallyAnxious:
Any chance of picking which options are flashed? I love the modded theater speaker, but I used other with my iems (Pinnacle P1) and HTC in ear sounds a bit bright with them (all the other options are no gos, not knocking at all just not what I need). If that makes sense. Or tune one of them more towards the neutral works with everything like the stock "other" (I used that in my car too when I was using Bluetooth). Again not knocking your work. I can come off super blunt.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p50kombi:
Sounds even better now.. Thanks, much appreciated..
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I can't possibly tune it to fit every single audio device out there, and I can't tune it tailored to what you're using as I don't have them.

the stock "Other" is literally a tiny gain boost to all EQ frequencies with nothing else involved. It's literally the most lazy stock preset I've ever seen/heard. No surround, no Dolby tech, literally just a EQ.

Alternatively if none of them suit your tastes, you can install Dolby Atmos from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342

PM'd you Zero ?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] houboy:
I've read the OP and after flashing it, there are no other presets available to choose from... Under /system I have Acoustix_Audio.txt so it shows I have it installed. Anything else I should do?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Are you serious???!!! There won't be any other presets installed... you've completely misunderstood what zero wrote in the OP...

Everything is kept in system like before. there is just one file overwritten/modded. Nothing else. The presets are the same but tweaked for speakers AND headphones. No other naming or so. You can read in the OP which preset works best for which headphone/earphone. But it's up to you which preset you use for which earphone/headphone or whatsoever...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] houboy:
No, are YOU serious????! ;) Sorry, I don't mean to misunderstand or confuse you, I meant that I can't see any profiles listed in the boomsound settings. For example, I don't see AcoustiX+, AcoustiX Lite, AcoustiX Pro, etc. sound profiles. I go to HTC BoomSound with Dolby Audio in settings when headphones or an aux is connected and no profiles show. Can you please explain what I'm doing wrong?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xunholyx:
DUDE!!!!

I'll repeat what [MENTION=4645599]DeeZZ_NuuZZ[/MENTION] said. Read the OP!

There is only the one file changed , nothing in the settings will look any different.

In the OP, it is stated what to select to get the option you want.

Read it again buddy.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
You need to take time to

carefully

read the OP. It's not hard to understand especially if English is your first language.

EDIT: I have made the vital information in the OP bold, underlined, and even in italics so no one should miss it now.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CamoGeko:
This is one of the longest audio threads to support the wonderful range of HTC devices! Say thanks to Zero with every chance you get. This has been his baby for years! :good:

Thanks for the help DUDES!!!!

I reflashed it and now the options came up for the different profiles.

It's not hard to understand that the first part of the reply was sarcasm if English is your first language ;)

All joking aside, I did read the OP despite you guys not explaining you have to click on "Dolby headphone effects" to bring up the sound profiles (I did click on it before but I wasn't seeing the profiles that came with this mod until after flashing it again). Thanks though for your sound mod Zero, used it since the M7 days and I greatly appreciate your work.

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Guys a litle of topic but still related to the Zero MOD AcoustiX

Like i did report already the MOD is working perfectly fine with HTC M8 as well, my biggest love is the Theater Mode because its make alot of diference when doing stuffs using internal speakers sooooooo nice and for headphones PRO is a must.

But i read about the KRONOS that with the Kronos the things become even better for Maniacs like me... i did already flash it and Kronos v1 that is made for HTC M8 is working just fine, after this i realise that when i use Kronos somehow is pointless because the Developer of the MOD didn`t implement Patched asound conf (for using with Acoustix) its only made for the HTC 10, do this mean that the MOD is not working properly i mean Both? Kronos and Acoustix together?

Thanks
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
V29 has just modded ds1-default.xml which is the config file for the Dolby presets. There is nothing more like before. But I suggest you to keep using the m8 Kronos. And sure you can use acoustix and Kronos. But Kronos for the 10 will have files, which maybe won't work properly with the m8.

So I'd say wait for [MENTION=1493385]Ultra_[/MENTION]m8 for verification. You can sure try Kronos for the 19, but be sure to make a system backup n case. Especially the mixer path and maybe some other files can break your audio and even mess with the speakers...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
I have an idea what will work even better but don`t know the DAC hardware related files i think the Patched asound conf and libs effects from the HTC 10 will work way better together with the AcoustiX
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Can anyone guide me on how I can use Kronos v4 with AcoustiX. I don't want to screw things up even though I've read the instructions already.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
There is no guide, just flash Kronos at first and then acoustix. You have to flash it in this row (especially since v29 ) because it will other wise overwrite zeros tweaked Dolby presets config. Therefore flash Kronos v4, when using HTC 10 and then fladh acoustix and choose the things you want to have installed
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Gotcha! Do I revert stock presets if I already installed v29?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yes, because Kronos contains stock config. You need to install acoustix afterwards again
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Thank you! Worked like a charm. :)

Sorry. First time installing, and I read the first 3 posts. The setup said it was a success, but I cannot find Dragon-Fi_Audio.txt.
