[MENTION=5014976]jmxc23[/MENTION], what is your install order for the two mods? Right now I'm using EBS 2.1 with V4A 2.3.3.0. I want to upgrade to EBS 3.0 and install Pon3 too, do I need to do a fresh ROM install or just flash over with the EBS update and Pon3? I also bought DCT too, just waiting to get everything installed before using. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Do a clean install then install EBS. Pon-3 has a modified version of viper so just uninstall that version and use the original version of viper. Right now I am trying to get EBS to install on android 5.0 lolipop.
[Android Software Development] banccalif:
If and when you get that set up can plz post your method of installation. TIA
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Here lies the problem i had to manually install EBS because I have an android 5.0 rom. My way of installing is ONLY for those having problems with lollipop.
[Android Software Development] bswann:
Got everything installed. I can hear a big difference between PowerAmp and DCT. DCT has more output and everything is more in your face, I'm using the dynamic setting in DCT. I think I'll have to make DCT my DD.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I usually use the default setting but now I have to re-evalute the other 3 modes now everything is setup.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
For those who use DCT player with the other mods I will just post my experience with each of the 4 modes.

DCT only:

This is the default setting of the player's audio engine. For lossy audio files it basically eliminates digital artifacts that can be heard in low bit rate audio. The end result is a clearer sound. With my setup it is basically the closest thing to reference grade sound. This setting is great for measuring your v4a setup as it doesn't add anything to the audio.

DCT + Warm:

This adds a warmer sound with a little bass boost. The vocals are still clear but you get the rumble of the sub-bass. With my setup it is a very pleasant sound especially when listening to songs with a nice sub-bass. Downside is that the bass will make you tire from listening sooner even with Cure Tech+ on so don't use any of v4a's bass settings with this mode.

DCT + Bright:

This mode brings a crystal clear and bright sound to the music. Female vocals and instruments like cymbals,snare drums and pianos sounds amazing. With my setup it provides a great overall sound. It can sound a little loud depending on your setup.

DCT + Dynamic:

This setting provides clarity plus some boosts in bass,mid-range and treble. The results is a better version of the default DCT setting. With my setup you basically get reference grade sound where everything is equally tuned and every aspect of the song can be heard.

All four modes works in restoring audio to near studio levels. You only need a slight bass boost with DCT+Warm. Viper clarity is pointless with DCT+Bright and will result in harsh sounding treble. DCT Only provides a blank canvas for you to play with. Lastly DCT+Dynamic only needs slight improvement depending on your headphones and if your are using other sound mods.
[Android Software Development] DCOCH13:
Question... I know you have installed Pon-3 along with EBS 3.0, but what benefit does installing Pon-3 mod give you if EBS 3.0 has it included ? Right now I have EBS 3.0 and ASDPE installed. And with those 2, I can use minimal settings with Viper. Thank you for breaking down DCT settings as I would like to try the player myself.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
[MENTION=5169000]DCOCH13[/MENTION] Pon-3 added some extra bass.
[Android Software Development] ryomahino:
Hi jmxc23 what version of Pon-3 do you install with V4A? because are 2 zip files

[Android Software Development] nick123ablxx32:
does anyone have a profile for a philips SHL5205BK? or something similar and I'll just go from there :)
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
We don't base our profiles on headphones. The people who list their headphones do so to let you know what they were using while creating a profile. Also I would like to know the following:

1. What are you trying to accomplish with a v4a profile?

2. Do you have any sound mods installed?

I ask these questions because we all interpret sound differently. We also have different tastes in music so people here make their profiles based on their music not headphones. Also sound mods adds system files to your device to enhance the audio of your device so you have to tweak v4a in accordance to the mods.
[Android Software Development] aki_007:
and [MENTION=4670303]kingofnice[/MENTION]

Could you post a detailed guide on how to set up a good profile by giving detailed info on each and every element of V4A? including the manually setting the custom equaliser .

I have still not been able to understand the purpose of a lot of settings like dyanamic bass viz-a-viz bass boost and field surround , spectrum (what should be the apt level) , PGC (how to get a warm/bright o/p) etc etc.

I've requested you only because you people know very well about these and have been very great at setting up a good profile useful for evryone.

I know Viper's blog too has intro about it but it fails to give the right idea.

thanks for you efforts.

[Android Software Development] aki_007:
[MENTION=5014976]jmxc23[/MENTION]

I had already said that the info on the viper's blog is difficult to understand .

I wanted to know that what difference it creates when you set up field surround in comparison to headphone surround or differential surround etc etc.

I mean that the description should be like "if you'll run for 3 miles a day you'll feel more energised and will stay active through out the day" instead of that "If you rum for 3 miles a day you'll loose X calories and Y ml of body fluids " etc .

hope everyone gets it.

I know its a huge task and So, we can wait .

Thanks for your suggestion though

[MENTION=5648292]aki_007[/MENTION] Some of the effects are redundant since these settings use different methods to achieve the same goal. Also I have been able to post good profiles because I have an understanding of what features are needed to get the most out of the app,my device and whatever headphones/earphones I have. I will tell you my thoughts on most features:

1. Spectrum Extension is useless if you are using Neutron or DCT due to both being capable of making lossy audio sound high end. It is also useless if you have a mix of lossy and lossless files as this feature is meant to for low end lossy files (64-128 kbps).

2. Playback Gain should only be used if you are experiencing low volume audio. Output Gain can achieve the same thing by merely increasing it to 0.8 dB or higher. The default setting is usually good enough.

3. The EQ is effective in amplifying the audio. It won't provide much in audio improvement especially compared to other features.

4. DDC I have said time and time again that it is supposed to give a particular headphones a neutral sound. Not all of the profiles achieve that.

5. Convolver is extremely effective in getting the best possible sound. It does consume the most power. With the right setup you might not need this function.

6. Field Surround if done right you have a wide and clear surround sound effect. This is also a stronger and more accurate surround effect then VHS+.

7. Differential surround is a acquired taste as not everyone likes this feature. You will have to utilize channel pan to center the audio. You will also have to increase the delay to widen the sound.

8. VHS+ becomes artificial sounding at level 3 so the level 2 setting is the ideal setting. Otherwise the other two surround effects as well as surround sound irs files sound much better.

9. Reverberation simulates the sound you hear in particular environment. If done right can provide a concert experience. If you can't get it figured out then there is always reverb based irs files.

10. Dynamic system feature provides a dynamic audio sound if done right. The Common Headphone setting works with most headphones.
[Android Software Development] aki_007:
Thanks for such a detailed info .

1.Could you also tell which frequencies in equaliser be tweaked to get mids more clear and bass balanced

2.Could you tell a set up for field surround as everytime I set it the soundstage becomes more narrow.

3. I am always confused between dynamic bass and bass boost as dynamic bass under unknown type 1 gives me warm feeling whereas bass boost (even with pure bass) makes the bass more brighter and a bit uncomfortable.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
1. The first 3 bands are for bass and bands 4,5 and 6 are the low-mid, mid range and high mid frequency. I may be wrong.

2. The mid image setting is for central vocal intensity. The other setting should be set high as that widens the soundstage.

3. How both settings sounds is entirely based on your headphones along with the sound mods.
[Android Software Development] nick123ablxx32:
Thank you for your explanation ?, I will take it into consideration next time sorry for my noob-ish post

1. I'm trying to create an overall brighter and clearer sound. (my headphones seem to crackle)

2. I actually have all three of the mods installed on your most recent profile (nice work btw)

(Including Viper)

Not sure if this will help but, I usually listen to Fall Out Boy, American Authors, the script and occasionally Acoustic ( my music taste probably isn't that diverse)
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
The artists you mentioned tend to make songs that call for a brighter and clearer sound especially with Patrick Stump's vocals. The issue here is that you can't really do much with your headphones without hearing the crackle sound on the treble. For viper clarity you might have to use the Ozone+ setting as the crackle will appear with the other settings. If that doesn't work then there are a bunch of irs files that have a bright clear sound like Heaven High End.
[Android Software Development] bswann:
[MENTION=5014976]jmxc23[/MENTION],

I just flashed charupa's mod he posted over on the EBS thread and now I cannot get the sound right again.

I'm using his mod with V4A and DCT and I have a set of Klipsh that I have set to sound good but the set I use the most ( 6-8 hours a day at work ) are Skullcandy Methods and they are bass heavy, even the bright setting in DCT along with the flat response in Dolby and Viper bass turned off doesn't help a lot. It brings the bass down some but still not enough to bring the mids and highs where they need to be. In fact unless I disable the mod all together I cannot bring the bass down enough to make the mids and highs sound good.

I listen to music like AX7, Korn, RATM, etc. Mainly music that is heavey especially when it comes to the kick drum and drums altogether.

Your last profile sounded great with a slight tweak to the clarity but now I cannot get the mids and highs to come through enough or either the highs are too shrill along with the heavey bass. I know I cannot get a perfect sound with the Methods but I know it can be better than what it is now.

Any ideas or maybe an .irs file that might even it out a bit? Thanks.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
[MENTION=3793623]bswann[/MENTION] you will have to use irs files like Heaven High End or similar sounding files. That has always worked for me with bass heavy headphones.
[Android Software Development] bswann:
Is that in Vinardo's thread? I didn't see it in there.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
It is in the v4a thread the irs starter pack. The file is basically a flat sounding file. Sonic Field FX from vinardo provides a very wide soundstage that can dampen the bass.
[Android Software Development] bswann:
Just opened the starter pack and its not in there, do you happen to have it? I got the Sonic Field FX and will work with that for a bit. You have any other ideas that don't really need irs files to sound good? Thanks again for the help.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
That is all for now as I don't have those earphones to really get a feel of what is needed.

Regarding My Latest Profile.

Do not expect a bass centric profile as I don't exclusively have bass heavy songs in fact most of my songs have strong vocals. I also don't own a pair of bass centric headphones as the headphones I have are balanced. I have a sound mod installed on my phone so the profile caters to that fact. I also have a music player that greatly enhances audio playback so the profile is also tweaked for that particular player. If you share a similar audio setup then by all means try it as is otherwise tweak it to better suit your taste.

The current sound mod I have is by [MENTION=1028003]churapa[/MENTION] and it combines EBS, EOF and Dolby Digital Plus. Dolby Digital Plus have its own presets and have a strong bass response. The irs file that I use as well as the ones mentioned in the profile post are meant to bring clarity and balance as not every song I have is recorded at a top notch studio. This also provide a wide soundstage for a great surround sound effect.

Hi. Will this make a conflict with Boeffla Kernel? Because it comes with Boeffla Sound Engine/Settings..

Also, I wanted to try having the 3 mods - Pon-3, V4a and EBS - however I don't know what to flash first.

Got confused with Pon-3 and its modded V4A. Can I use the original V4A and not Pon-3's mod?

If so, what version of Pon-3 should I use?

Can you give me a suggestion on the installation sequence - which to flash first?

And the settings you use for each mod.

Sorry for a bunch of questions, but I just wanted to ask them altogether lol. Thanks a lot!
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
1. I don't know about Boeffla

2. EBS already has Pon-3 related stuff so it isn't necessary.

3. EBS and Pon-3 are system mods so no settings.

4. V4A is a DSP Manager so you only have to install the app and its driver.
[Android Software Development] Celesica:
Already flashed EBS only and installed V4A. Working really great so far. :good:

EDIT: Can I add V4A in Greenify?

Yes you can as it will only be put in hibernation when V4A isn't active.
