Reinstalled renovate milestone 3 and v17, the problems are still here... Didn't even install v4a yet

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

Damn, after the screen shot bug occurs, I put it to sleep, and I can't wake it...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
aaannndddd here comes the confusion :S

my mod shouldn't of messed with the visualizer, I removed all the visualizer libs in my soundmod so it's just using stock ones and I also didn't mess with the audio_effects.conf for the m8 so it should work like it did on v16.1 :S

So, when I fix a bug on the m7, the same bug arises for the m8 xD Man, this is gonna get annoying :p

Can anyone try a test for me? grab audio_effects.conf in /system/etc from your original ROM and replace the one already in your phone's system. If this works then I know what to do to fix it!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Installed 16.1 on top and the bugs disappeared
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] legents:
After replacing the audio_effects.conf, ending calls with the power button my music starts automatically which is good, the virtualizer still FCs.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
After replacing stock audio effects the screen shot bug and visualizer bug are still there...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
I think you mean visualizer and not virtualizer - two completely different things :p

I'll have a look at it tonight and see if I can fix it soon...

ah damn it, I'll take a look at it later and see what I can do :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Still not working
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Another thing you can do: restore 'libeffectproxy.so' from your original ROM to your system in /system/lib/soundfx and see if that fixes anything :D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] legents:
Yeah the visualizer ?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrgwap:
Great update :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Visualizer is fixed, but not the screen shot problem
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mido.fayad:
Finally everything works great on one and one max on sense 6 stock rom

No more visualizer freezing ?

Also I tested screen shot and works without any problem

Thanks [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] for ur great work
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
awesome, I fixed soemthing xD

Your screenshot problem is strange because never in my whole life of audio developing have I heard such an issue with screenshots xD I'll look into this problem later on in the week ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
And another bug I found before I found the screen shot bug.

If the music player plays the dts headphone. Wav, the music player freezes and I have to reboot to get it working again. But that's 1 in 1500 chance of the music player randomly chooses to play that file, I have about 1500 songs :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
you should place a .nomedia file in /sdcard/Viper4Android/kernel folder so the OS won't detect the file. The WAV file is an Impulse Response Sample and it won't play well normally on music players :p I forgot to make a .nomedia file for v17 but I'll add it in future releases ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
The screen shot bug is more evil than I thought, if I boot up and not play music, and I take a screen shot, music could play. Then if I have played music, stopped the music, quit the music app, then take a screen shot, then I can't play music any more. And then if I put my phone to sleep, it wouldn't wake up, needs a hard reboot to turn it back on.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Damn! that sucks dude :( I'll see what I can do about it.

Has anyone else with an m8 having screenshot/audio playback issues?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
If I flash 16.1 on top of 17, everything works fine, even the screen shot bug is gone. Then if I flash 17 on top of 16.1, the problems come back. So the problem must be caused by files that exists in 16.1 and updated in 17, or even the aroma might be the cause.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Hey zero.. V17 breaks hk mod again... Sorry dude

Another bug, I can't save new presets in v4a.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
WHAT! I did not touch the audio_policy.conf at all!

hmm you should be able to, I can :p

damn, I'll have a look at all of these bugs within the week :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
My wild guess is that the problem might be caused by the 4.4.3 n4 soundfx files, will replace them with the old ones to see if it helps. Once I have enough battery to do so
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Perhaps that may be the cause, I didn't have any problems with them on m7 though :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
S4 pro and s600 are similar, but not s801
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
oh yeah! I forgot about different chipsets :S

If that is the case, I'll add the stock ones from m8 back again in the next update ;)

After replacing audio_effects.conf and libeffectproxy.so with ones from v16.3, everything is working great, no mentioned bugs. :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
GREAT! now I can fix this problem easily now! :D :D :D

No more bugs at all now? :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donmarkoni:
No that I can remember to test... :) Audio/video seeking, visualizer, music channel, screen-shooting and doing it while in one, another and/or none, no SOD... Remind me if I missed something...

And about that guy... Don't loose your nerves... Well, I lost a bit too... But here comes the mop. ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
I'll have to try it out first

Btw, Which v4a driver did you install?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
guess :P super audio quality of course xD

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Haha, just as I thought.

After I've replaced the two files from 16.1, the screen shot problem still persists

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Going to copy each lib one by one to see which one causes the problem...

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

Bad news, I've went through every lib in 16.1 and I still have the screen shot problem...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donmarkoni:
Configuration files? I know it's far fetched, but could it be some kernel settings, power saving, low frequency...?

[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION], mate, your IRS is perfect! :) No noticeable lag between video playback and audio, if you know what I mean, it's in sync, when someone opens mouth (video) there is a word (audio), not a bit later, like with some.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
I've fxxxing nailed it!!!

I think it's your aroma installer ignoring the m8 section when installing.

It installed the audio policy. Conf for m7 and not those etc files specific for m8

This should also solve the h/k problems since the audio policy is wrongly installed

( went through your whole mod to see the changes lol)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
ah right, will fix that tomorrow then! thanks for testing :D

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
So I've installed 17 again and replaced audio policy.conf and libeffectproxy.so from 16.1, the screen shot bug and the Visualizer bug are fixed

Audio policy.conf fixes the screen shot bug and possibly the h/k bug

Libeffectproxy.so fixes the Visualizer

Audio effects.conf is the same as 16.1 so no need to do anything with that.

The bugs left are .nomedia and v4a profile bugs

V4A never works for me.

I tried 16.1, 16.2 and 17 which is the latest version of the sound mod. When I installed them, V4A never works even I installed the driver. I don't know what is wrong. Is it just for me???? I installed other sound mod for using V4A. It works absolutely fine with it. Only this mod doesn't work.

Any fix??? Anyway I love this mod. Thank you zero

Just to confirm, after installing v17 do I need to disable Beats Audio when using V4A?

I only use the phones speakers, Do I just enable that on V4A, and will that automatically load Zeroinfinity's preset?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dogredwing1:
I i flashed insertcoin 3.0.3 and v17 and my top speaker stopped working?

Edit: both speakers are working again
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] davebugyi:
What did you do to make it work? My top speaker is still not working on V17, Insertcoin

Edit: After reboot both speakers worked for a couple of minutes. Upon launching youtube and playing a video the sound is gone. No ringtones, no music, nothing. Strange.

Anybody has a link for 16.3? Edit: Found it.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
V4A works for me and everyone else here. Must be something you are doing wrong.

hahhaha no problem!

Always disable any other audio effects before using DSPs, that just causes over-processing and can cause audio glitches, distortions or other anomalies.

What's up with that??? I'm on GPE android 4.4.3 and never encountered anything like that :S

Wow, what a strange issue :S

Again, I will try to fix all of these bugs today :)

EDIT: v17.1 is uploading now, just need to some m8 users to test.

Here's a changelog:

v17.1 link: https://mega.co.nz/#!WUpABRTD!goBOPueKHc8SoaxHPKyfSFmDoP_XNvZDQiNYY1vjPx0

I'm not too sure about audio_policy.conf for the m8 not being installed correctly, I don't see anything wrong with the AROMA installer :S although I did change the order of what gets installed in the script so this should work :)

Recommended you dirty flash your ROM before installing this version if you still have the bugs from v17 :) I have removed some files/libraries which causes some issues :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] frankcck:
[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] tested v17.1 on M8 so far so good.

I had suddenly shut down issue with v17, however, nothing happened with v17.1

Excellent work!

ViperOne@HTC One M8
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
great stuff, waiting on [MENTION=4622949]steve1996[/MENTION] to test out all the issues just to confirm then I will mirror v17.1 and add to OP ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] arhung:
For m7 users, is it better to flash v17.1 or just stay with v17??
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
You don't have to update v17, v17.1 had most changes for m8 users - there is only one minor change for all users and that's adding a .nomedia files in viper4android/kernel folder so that music players won't detect the WAV impulse response file :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aamitabh28:
I am sorry to point out another bug..the options in settings in the music app leads tona fc on M8.

Rest everything has been resolved..
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donmarkoni:
Thanks!

Yeah, I was looking at aroma installer too, but wasn't sure why audio_policy.conf is not copied from m8 directory, everything else was working, even deleting unneeded files.

Seen that you removed libeffectproxy.so and libfmas.so, so I can remove them manually, but I don't really care about few kB's more in system, if they won't do any harm?

Did you purposely removed persist.audio.lowlatency.rec=true from sense.sh and can I keep it?

Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work fine, but as you said, it's best to wait for him, as he had most problems.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
yeah that line isn't working for sense so I removed it :p

If the libraries aren't in the original ROM, you may remove them, If they aren't, just replace the original ones :)

Can anyone else on the m8 confirm this?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] skyalvinlee:
I dont use viper rom, do I need the /viper4android folder? is it safe to remove it? :)

Edit*

I just realized V4A is just audio effects, nothing to do with viper rom, however, is it still safe to remove it?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
If you don't want my custom profile for V4A then you can lol, that's why I put it there in mod in the first place! :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] skyalvinlee:
I see! sorry am a little confused with all the sound mods, I just saw the hidden text in the changelog that i'll need to install V4A for it to work :silly:
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Freak07:
For me settings in htc music app do not fc

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Aw yeah! now I can update the OP :D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Bad news is that I still can't save profiles
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Try wiping app data for V4A, that could solve it ;) It's working fine on the m7, don't see how it should be difference on the m8 :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Wiped data and i still can't save profile, wiped data again and rebooted still can't save profile...
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
What I realized now is that we m8 users don't need v4a ....your fixed 17.1 is working so nice that even without BoomSound it sounds f#cking nice, so that for example if we use headphones with less treble it will add with boomsound more treble but also more bass...without BoomSound it's just how it should be...all balanced...nice bass, nice treble and mids thanks for that zero :) you know I always loved and will love your work ! :)

Use V4A, really, you should try my custom profile! :p
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
I already tried it..

Loved your mod and also v4a on hox...but now tried your profile etc on m8 but doesn't sound that well :/ uninstalled v4a and it sounds MUCH better.......sorry but can't say why it doesn't sound that good

Tried on different headphones and speakers...

Gesendet von meinem HTC One_M8 mit Tapatalk
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Fixed it, but in a weird way. I can't delete the viper4android folder in storage emulated 0, then I went to data media 0 to delete it, after that I saved a profile, and v4a recreated the folder and now it's working, then I copied the v4a files from the zip and everything seems fine. Installer putting the folder in the wrong partition maybe?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah, tuned it on MDR1-RNC headphones :p that's probably why xD

Well, every other HTC Device does not have an micro sd card slot besides the m8 so I thought it would be most logical if it all went to the default /sdcard/ partition instead :p /sdcard/ should be a shortcut for /storage/emulated/0 anyway so I didn't think it would make much of a difference
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yea even tried to fine tune other settings....but v4a isn't that good on m8... BoomSound kicks v4a's ass xD

Looks like a mix of permissions and directory name caused you problems... Not really sure... What is your V4A directory name now, ViPER4Android or Viper4Android?

You are right, on M8 it's like this:

/data/media/0/ = /sdcard/ = /storage/emulated/0/ = /storage/emulated/legacy/ = /storage/sdcard0/ = /mnt/sdcard/ = /mnt/shell/emulated/0/

External SD Card is here: /sdcard2/ = /storage/ext_sd/ = /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
storage/emulated/0/VIPER4Android
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donmarkoni:
Wait, ViPER with lower case "i", or VIPER with upper case "i", that is "I"? Sorry to bother you, but IIRC in V4A thread stated it has to be in right combination of upper and lower case letters - "ViPER4Android".
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] steve1996:
Lower case
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donmarkoni:
Thanks mate. :) Sorry to bother you.

[MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION], I feel obliged to bring this to your attention again, as it will probably lower the number of bug reports. Sorry to bother you too.

Cheers guys! :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
It shouldn't affect that bug :S I mean, everything here works flawlessly with V4A :p I'll change the folder name to case-sensitive letters in future version then if it matters that much ;)

Sounds wonderful on my Onkyo amp and Polk speakers with the surround option in v4a off.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hans_Schlila:
V17 works brilliantly for me on m7... None of that mentioned bugs but one. Sry if steve1996 already asked, however im a little bit confused by all that sd path things ... To put some clearance in here, how to simply fix the directory - not in a "weird" but easy way, so that you can save your own profile in V4A? Zero's may be well adjusted for his Sonys, but I d like to save different profiles for car, stereo and for my Bose qc15?

ADD:

Did someone already thought about sharing his profile; as soon as it is fixed for me, I'll upload my config.xml... Let's setup some kind of sharing policy, maybe it should be necessary to name some adjectives which describe the personal config and on which auditory setup it should be used. I dont like to use the word-method (writing your config in words) because its unconvenient... So feel free to upload your config with a description, if Zero would allow it? :D, or may we open up a new (sub-)thread linked to this one?

(I would look after it...) I know that there are already such threads existing [ regarding V4A-Configs], but no one offering profiles which base on this whole mod in combination with V4A. Another aspect I would suggest is that we also should focus on/and conserve a certain level of audio quality (maybe in difference to other similar threads), parallel to what ZeroInfinity always intends to archieve by developing his mod. :) I suppose you know what Im talkin about since we all just use highend/advanced headphones and expect to enjoy a "better-than-stock" audio experience on our mobile devices ;)finally, What do you think about this idea? As ive already pointed out, I would manage to setup all this as some kind of small sub-project? :))
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] grippa:
i'm using the phone through hdmi with appradio in my car. does this audio mod work with hdmi output? thanks
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Can you save the profile first? because it works for me with the file path I put it in my soundmod :)

If it doesn't work for you, you can follow steve1996's method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53448610

Okay, I've tried every single thing I could think of including, removing mods, changing different rom versions, and kernels. I'm on sinless rom 4.4.3 using elementalx 15.1 and people can't hear me on calls. Recording audio doesn't work either. After removing all mods and kernel configurations and adding them one by one, as soon as I flash this mod I loose my microphone. Is there any known way around this?

I can confirm this issue, with the same setup. Rebooted, with no effect. Reflashed ROM to remove mod, issue gone.

I'm on stock GPE 4.4.3 and no microphone issues here - I just called someone and they could hear me and I also did a video recording and audio works fine there. If you are talking about call-recording then I do not support that.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] josh8901:
Not referring to call recording, just standard calling. I'll go ahead and switch over to stock gpe rom and test this, because it definitely didn't play nice with sinless rom.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
yeah, just reinstalled v17.1 and everything still works ;)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] myrigon:
Not call recording. I think its related to sinless 7.1.0, version 7.0.0 worked with your mod, no problem.

I wouldn't sum it up to that, it wouldn't work on 7.0 for me.
