but m8+H/K mod and this mod is pure eargasm ! :) yet H/K alone gives not enough bass, but with his mod and Dolby and H/K we or the m8 users have awesome clear Sound with damn nice bass!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] METHOD1911:

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
No one can beat ERA plus the new Generic Dolby :) in Sound and Quality

But ive found out to have best posible sound since i love music everyday all time every minute.

The Era + Dolby work Amazing with HK mood also if u want to go even further flash the LonelyX Kernel because it is dedicated HK Kernel with ported stuffs from the original version of m8 HK edition.

All together is PURE ORGASM when i do listen music.

Thanks guys.

can u please clear out that this mod uses more battery power or cpu cycles, or it doesn't affect on battery or uses same or less the stock mod?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jonas2295:
You will barely notice any difference. Been using zeros mods since years and never had any problems with battery drain
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
If you're scared about battery, don't use the mod then.

I have said a long time ago, I'm willing to sacrifice anything to get the best audio quality.

There is barely any impact on battery imo. Have you even tried it yourself?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
I may as well be the 3rd person to tell you that theres not a noticeable change for battery :)

It will probably save some CPU power because it can offload some processing straight to the DSP
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Only when using MP3/AAC and not using any third party DSPs like V4A or Dolby hahaha
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:

As always..thanks for all the hard work....with 23.1 every time I make a change in the settings the Dolby app closes and getting it to realize I'm trying to make a change is difficult, meaning if I hit one of the custom buttons it usually closes the app.If this has been mentioned before, I apologize..I will investigate further..AT&T M8 running Viper 4.0/Elemental..h/k mod..project era
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Did you read the post you were supposed to read before installing v23.1? I mean, it's right above the download link...

to fix: Use SELinux mode changer from play store and set to permissive. Generic Dolby will work fine on enforcing mode but you will encounter that FC bug when changing things.

Anyone using Viper4Android here?

Got a neat trick for you [emoji14]

By default, Viper4Android FX plays at 16Bit audio format however, Viper4Android XHiFi (One that has been discontinued) processes in 32Bit Floating Point format.

You can actually use both of them at the same time without any conflicts and force 32Bit Floating Point when V4A XHiFi is turned on.

If you wanna give this a go, just download XHiFi from here: http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=48 (Last download link). Install the apk file, open the app, install drivers (With NEON for Cortex A- devices which will be for most phones) and reboot! And yes,

Lollipop is supported!

but you might need to disable NuPlayer in Developer's settings if you have any problems such as drivers reporting "abnormal". You also need SELinux set to permissive, as you may know when using V4A in lollipop. It doesn't matter on KitKat and below.

You may use the settings in XHiFi but I prefer to do all my tweaking in FX, but the Audio Reconstruction feature is pretty neat :) I'm just enabling V4A XHiFi and leaving all other settings disabled/untouched and use V4A FX like normal. All the settings should work side by side without any bugs or glitches.

Using both at the same time:

FX Drivers enabled:

XHiFi Drivers enabled:

However, the strange thing is, in /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/apq8064-tabla-snd/MSM8960 Media1/state it reports that the output is only a S24_LE format (Signed 24 Bit Little Endian). I am wondering if this is either a limitation for our device (Can't support Floating Point Audio format) or just a but in the "state" file only reporting S24_LE... The driver info in XHiFi reported 32Bit FP however.

EDIT: This is probably why it only outputs at 24 Bit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth#Audio_processing), so XHiFi will actually process the audio in 32 bit floating point but decide to output in 24 bit format.

I would like to thank [MENTION=4547113]nitephlight[/MENTION] for giving me the idea on hangouts [emoji14] Thanks man!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rhodyvik:
Searched and couldn't find an answer to:

Can 23.1 work with V4A 2.3.3.0? I'm on VZW M8. GPE ROM from [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]. Still 4.4.4 firmware (like everyone else). More importantly, does anyone have a V4A profile that works best with the good doctor's Powerbeats2 Wireless earphones? I've been messing around a ton. I also updated my ADSP firmware to 47.2.2 (I know it's not a leap from 46.2.2). I found the V8 H/K mod but I'll assume that can't be flashed on a non-Sense ROM per usual. Anyone else have a VZW M8, rooted, S-off with Powerbeats2 Wireless earphones? I'm thinking of just starting a new forum for us folks. Even though there's probably only a few people, literally, that have everything I just stated. Thanks! I'll link that XDA forum later if I don't find one.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
About V4A compatibility, read post 2.

EDIT: Oh, did I have to say that? LITERALLY, I've been going on about v4a the post above you. Common Sense? Me showing pictures of v4a running? Jesus Christ... I don't believe you tried hard enough to search for that answer.

You're right about H/K, it's sense only. But I may be wrong, I do not have a m8.

Also, I think you are better off just experimenting different things in v4a on your own since everyone has different tastes.

Oh and another thing, barely anyone has beats since everyone knows they are overpriced pieces of crap.

Also, starting a forum for people who own PowerBeats2 Wireless earphones? That doesn't sound very necassary... Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about here...

EDIT: Or are you thinking of making a forum just for people who are on Verizon, has an m8 with S-OFF AND have PowerBeats2? Good luck.

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] threetwentyfizzle:
[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] , thanks for the find and info for the V4A XHIFI, so by downloading the HiFi driver, it outputs the FX version at a higher audio quality bit rate from what I'm reading? And tbh, V4A isn't really necessary for me as much now with the new Dolby and the latest Era; my M8 has never sounded better, I've found that to my ears Boomsound compliments Dolby perfectly, (preffered over HK, too much treble) but have the HK ADSP installed. I can hear the faintest details in songs in my library I've heard a million times and am blown away by how good they sound.

But back to V4A, does the xhifi driver improve the FX apps sound processing quality pretty substantially? Thanks Zero, you rock man!

Edit: p.s. , fun little fact, my car stereo factory sound system has Dolby Pro Logic 2 sound processing EQ, but sounds just terrible in comparison to this, running thru Auxiliary [emoji13] hahaha
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Ahhhh people, stop mixing bit depth with bit rate! [emoji14]

Bit rate is the amount of info in a file (basically)

Bit depth, well look up on wiki because I can't provide a simple explanation haha

But yes, xhifi includes 32bit floating point processing which will output to 24bit playback. You may use fx for extras such as convolution since xhifi does not have many options to choose from. I only use it purely for the processing. They will work alongside each other ;)

If you don't use v4a, you can just use xhifi to get higher bit depth playback.

However, if you use H/K, you already have high quality audio mode anyway (192/24) so there is no need ;)

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] n1234d:
[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION], will higher bit depth increase the quality of lossy formats like mp3? Also, would it be noticeable on low end audio like the in box earphones? Also, since the sound will be going through dolby, then xhifi, then v4a, won't it have any adverse effects? And maybe also increase battery drain?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Should do for mp3, not sure about low end earphones because I've never used one [emoji14] most of the times, you probably won't hear much of a difference but you can try. Increasing higher bit depth will reduce aliasing and increases the resolution.

Don't use Dolby at the same time that's just stupid. You're definitely over processing and no doubt battery will drop dead faster than lightning and also audio will f*uck up. Either use v4a FX+XHIFI or Dolby. Piling up effects, just don't do it.

Besides, Dolby already outputs 24bit as I have discussed many times before. If you use Dolby, you don't need XHIFI. Also, you may use v4a FX with Dolby, just don't use convolution or any other virtualization/reverb effects. That completely defeats to purpose of using Dolby in the first place.

does USB DAC not allow DSP processing?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Not sure, but to my understanding all the processing happens inside the DAC, just like the PHA. Equalizers wouldn't do anything.

OT: I've tried connecting m8 to pha3 and the audio quality is much lower than connecting with zx1, it has so much background noise. And 24/96 HiRes doesn't work on m8+pha3.

So I think using m8 as a source for 1adac would be quite worrying, but I haven't tried it yet

Speaking of HTC Music, I think that ERA 23.1 is causing some conflicts with the music visualizer on the M8. At first I thought this was a bug with the new Lollipop ViperRom, however, The same issue is occuring on a stock Lollisense Rom I tried out last night. I remember that a previous version of ERA about a year ago caused music visualizer FC, so I just figure I'd let you know since no one else has brought it up. Any other M8 users having HTC Music Visualizer/Channel FC's? If you need a logcat Zero, let me know, I'll try to post one for you.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
This wasn't happening when you weren't using my mod?

I haven't touched the visualizer libraries, nor have I touched the audio_effects.conf (besides Dolby add-on, but I haven't touched the visualizer part either)

Previous FC was due to audio_effects.conf iirc

Sent from mah Haytch Tee See Juan via Crapatalk
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] threetwentyfizzle:
I'll do a clean flash of a stock ROM and try the visualizer first, then I'll reinstall ERA to see if it reproduces the FC. I've experienced it on both Viper 4.2(and previous 4.0), and on Skydragon T-Mobile Base stock ROM. If Era is reproducing the issue, would a logcat help you out? Or maybe a Dev would be able to help see what may be conflicting? I'll try to isolate the force close as much as I can, so stock kernel, no other mods or DSP's when I try to reproduce the issue. Not that its a deal breaker for me, I'd much rather have some insane audio goodness and give up a feature I never use, but just figured I'd do what I can to help give back and squash any minor conflicts to achieve absolute perfection and harmony running everything together.
