No IRS being released at all. Even old generation I already removed the links. Old generation will not be released anymore.
[Android Software Development] They Drew First Blood:
Re: paid irs

Well they are definitely no longer available free. I'm sure Zhu will have something special for the donors when his IRS are back! I'm also sure it is tough to please both the minority and the majority at the same time. Personally, I am more than willing to accept lower-quality IRS samples when I can't afford to support the higher-quality ones, and I think Zhu should keep it that way. Lower quality free samples are better than no samples at all. Reward the donors with the high-quality stuff. That's been my opinion, let the knuckleheads complain that Zhu is withholding- they would be entitled to the best stuff if they actually paid for it, otherwise bugger off.
[Android Software Development] 4D3:
So please explain why I paid you money to support the high quality version, then they are no longer released
[Android Software Development] ahrion:
I kind of agree. That was pretty jacked up. Weren't they like $7?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
You got the high quality version for what you paid right?

The high quality version you using are still high quality and better than the previous free ones.

I will talk more about this in my comeback.

No. Custom irs are more expensive, but I removed this option already.
[Android Software Development] They Drew First Blood:
Re: custom irs

I can't really see what the issue is here... if you lost your high-quality irs or something, I'm sure Zhu would re-send them to you if you sent him a PM, seeing as how you did pay for them. Oh! Maybe you are referring to the irs samples that are still available in the Starter Pack here...? edit: Hmm, Zhu's old samples HAVE been removed from the starter pack of Oct 20... they were still in the Sept 5 starter pack I had downloaded...

In any case, I am not expecting to be able to download the high-quality irs, since I did not pay for them- donors supported Zhu's creation of high-quality irs for the donors, not for the masses. He should not release the high-quality irs to the masses. I waited patiently for the mainstream release of his free irs with full expectation that there were equal- or higher-quality versions available immediately if I was interested. And I am still using those older versions in the meantime, in addition to all of the other irs samples that have been created and posted. I'm sure Zhu will be back soon enough.
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
Its funny how you mentioned that Zuang would resend the IRS. Files if you lost them. I switched phones a month ago and now I'm back to my HTC one but I emailed Zuang about hooking me up with a link cause I have purchased 3 of his IRS packs and he never replied or sent me a freaking link. Was pissed at first but have let it go High def IRS in other thread blows out anything this clown has put out. Charges you for something then ignores you when you need them again. I will never purchase another thing from this dude. Beware. I know he knows I paid cause I actually replied for the links from the email he sent me about how many times I downloaded the files so he could keep track. Like I'm trying to scam I feel scammed.
[Android Software Development] sub1287:
Just a thought but perhaps you should not have been careless enough to loose them in the first place. I hardly see how its his fault when he already supplied you with the product you paid for.

from my PSX/PSK [n⁴]
[Android Software Development] 4D3:
my point was the fact that i/others paid for a pro version, then within 2 months it was released as a free version and there was nothing done for the people who paid.

Originaly there was free, paid and gold, gold never surfaced, the free ones disapeared and the paid ones became free....that suck ass!
[Android Software Development] eushaun99:
The only paid one that became free AFAIK was only the Sony xperia rev 2 IRS, isn't it?
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
Well you do have a point but a I had traded phones at the time I traded them and still had my emails with the links I figured it would not be that big of a deal to redownload them. But i had purchases them also to support him and his work so maybe he should support his customers a little better if you know what I mean. He's quick to take your money but when you need a helping hand cause I lost them it happens.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Of course I will resend, dude, I didn't receive emails from you or maybe I overlooked. I check my mails everyday, and you can ask the rest of the buyers whether I resend them the file after they lost it. If you think I forgotten about it, just drop another mail.

Free ones disappeared because im gonna release a better free version soon.

Paid version never got free, did it?

I thought I always threated my buyers aka "customers" great. I make decisions which is good for every party. Recently, I'm preparing an announcement on new gen IRS and what will happen to old gen etc some cleanups, maybe I should post it up quickly before every past buyers thought I'm not taking any care of them anymore.

I fking take care of the past buyers. I take this long break just to calm myself down and think I of the perfect decision for everyone, buyers, and the community. If Im selfish enough to not caring about the past buyers, I can just make everything paid without updates, the end.

Hope you can put yourself in my shoes, because my decisions are not only to protect buyers, but the whole community.
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
Well I think I may owe you an apology. I am patient very patient. I should have resend another email. But I don't like to hound people so figured screw it. I never said anything about your upcoming projects. That's all up to you Sir I was just frustrated about not being able to have what I already purchased that is all. I will most likely be purchasing your next release also just venting sorry Sir.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
I accepted your apology.
[Android Software Development] underskyzx:
I have to say It definitely doesn't leave a good impression when you put the samples to download for free and then remove.

This is never good.
[Android Software Development] Hedied4me:
Sooooooo many complainers. I have to say if people get this upset over $3 or $6, prepare for life to bend you over. He has already explained himself. Either get over it or be patient like the rest of us.

For the record I am a satisfied purchaser of the Creative X-Fi IRS.
[Android Software Development] churapa:
Why not?

Those are his files and he can do with them whatever he wants (I'm talking about the free ones -the purchased ones are a different story-).

Anyways, let's just be patient and wait and let's also try to stay on topic (I'm including myself here (To the mods: you can delete my comment if you feel it's appropriate to do so).
[Android Software Development] nachordez:
I really can't understand all this complaining. Viper have always been kind and responsive. And is offering a nice work for nothing, and will do again in short time, he is creating IRS files again. That's a present he gives for nothing. He can't be pressed for that.

About paid ones, different story. Buy gave what he sold. And explain what new changes. No more to say, please.

[Android Software Development] madprofessorus:
It's easy, download them, put them in the viper folder, and try them via convolver selection
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
First you need to install V4A in your rooted Android smartphone.

This thread features the IRS files which you can use in the V4A app to simulate different audio effects.
[Android Software Development] D_black84:
Let me see if i understand it right , i'm no expert here and sorry if this was already asked , once i copied these IRS to viper4android/Kernel directory and select which ever i like under Convolver , do I still have to adjust the other settings or by simply loading one of the IRS then my sound in general gets adjusted ?

[Android Software Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
The rights are there through PayPal, unless otherwise specifically stated by the seller. I'm assuming since one of his last posts mentions at least one dispute, PayPal may have come down on him. I've had a lot of "dealings" with PayPal, and arguments over disputes, they're not exactly friendly....
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
I quit selling on EBay for about 10 years after a buyer had filed a dispute with PayPal on some high dollar records I sold him. Even though I had audio proof the records were as I said they were, and a spotless record, they still sided with the buyer even though he only provided his word. They wanted me to refund half the money. I refused. The buyer sent me the records back anyway. A decade later it worked out as I sold them again, luckily to someone who was sane this time. Bottom line PayPal leans toward protecting buyers more than sellers.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
You get this wrong. I reserve the rights to do all those things. It doesn't mean I will, it just means I can.

The main points are 1-4.

1-2 is about pricing, which is important to be highlighted.

3-4 is about how fast I can get back to the buyer after payment. I couldn't guarantee the time. So they are all estimations.

I spend time writing this to buyers so that they know the possible things I may do in the future.

If they couldn't accept it, then better don't, because the buyer will end up being unhappy if I really do the mentioned things.
[Android Software Development] popthosegaskets:
If you don't agree with his terms don't buy the product... It's not like he's forcing you to buy it. The seller must also be protected from unscrupulous customers.
[Android Software Development] wraku:
unscrupulous customer ???

For Your Information

On the sales side an absence was given to 13 March with a delivery time of 48 hours.

Therefore I ordered 13 March and waiting patiently 4 days for a Download Link..

Then I have half an dozen mails written to the seller without an answer.

To move him to react, I opened then a dispute via Paypal after one week waiting.

A day later I was told that I would have to get a download link, but unfortunately this was not.

In my desperation, I ordered and paid again with another mail-adress and got a Download-Link within less minutes.

Do you really think, that this behavior can be described as unscrupulous, as you do it?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
This is all timing problems. Mistakes and coincidences all combined and cause your end an unhappy experience.

Sorry about that. Opening disputes are not wrong because its my fault.

I have refunded your additional payment. Check your PayPal again.

[IRS Update]

Buyers please check your email for the updated IRS.

There are some invalid email addresses, so if you did not receive my email, please check your email address with me.

Changes:

1. True 48kHz (Re-recorded)

2. Added 5 options for harman/kardon

3. BoomSound is the updated version of old ZSHS

(ZH is discontinued and can be found in v1 folder)

Thanks.

Sample will be done.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Has the free version been updated also please.
[Android Software Development] dungeonshard:
I think zh v1 is better than z v2 [emoji28] bass more stronger and middle so good

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Yes, v1 Z has stronger bass

v2 Z is update of v1 ZS

So I remain v1 Z in the zip.
[Android Software Development] AndrasLOHF:
Silly question. So if I'm using Bluetooth playback which is only 44100k should I not use the 48000k versions of Waves MaxxAudioWizard?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
It still depends on the sample rate shown in v4a.
[Android Software Development] AndrasLOHF:
Yeah that's what I meant. If Viper shows 48000k use the 48000k version, if it shows 44100k use the 44100k version for accuracy.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Yup
[Android Software Development] berryman13:
With such a wide array of irs files available, how do we know which truly are classified for the proper using device, etc? Can boomsound or DTS or Sony irs files be used on headset, speaker, Bluetooth, everything? If not, how do they tend to work best? Thanks
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Their not device specific you can you then in any instance, just try them out and see if you like the sound if not try another and so on,
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Free Version:

1.Updated HTC BoomSound+HK (128K MP3)

2.Updated MaxxAudio Pro+AW (128K MP3)

3.Added Samsung SoundAlive (128K MP3)

Paid Version:

1.Updated HTC BoomSound+HK (v3)

- Fix H-Edition

- Fix all Harman Kardon irs

2.Updated Waves MaxxAudio Pro+AW (v5)

- True 48kHz (Re-recorded)

- Added Waves MaxxAudio Pro series (Featuring MaxxSpace, MaxxSense and newer version of Music, Movies and Gaming profiles.)
[Android Software Development] AndrasLOHF:
DUDE! Thanks for the updated Maxx Audio. They sound fantastic! I was having serious clipping problems on Bluetooth with V4 unless I turned master gain down by six decibels. No longer have that issue anymore. Z-Version of Music with MaxxSpace is the shiz.

Can't run any device without Viper. You've spoiled me. Lol
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Many thanks for the updates. Unfortunately I'm finding most of the new profiles aren't working for me, unless there just isn't any difference in sound quality in the various profiles (I seriously doubt that). Usually I only have that issue with very old IRS. I have the latest Viper app. Any ideas? I've tried both 44 and 48.

BTW I should mention the new HTC ones are working, just many of the WavesMaxx aren't.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
If any IRS works, it means that the convolver is working and other IRS are also working.

What difference do you mean?

For 128k vs Z-edition, there is difference but whether its noticeable depends on individuals. Some users notice significant improvements, while some find difficult to notice. It's similar to comparing a 128K MP3 vs FLAC audio files (in terms of sound effect).

For MaxxAudio Lite vs Pro, there is difference in sound as intended by MaxxAudio company. I just provide both versions of IRS.

For 44k vs 48k, you don't compare them. In OP I explained how to check your sample rate. After you found out, use the correct sample rate.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
If I switch between profiles such as gaming, movies. music, etc., there is no audible difference whatsoever, whereas before you could hear drastic differences in the profiles. Is that normal then?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
There should be drastic difference. Lol.

The problem is not with the IRS but with the convolver or the V4A.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Well that's what I thought, just making sure based on the previous comment. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this yet, but then again this is a low activity thread. I guess if it is the Viper app there will be no fix since development has halted/ended. Nonetheless I can always restore the previous versions.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Im using V4A on lollipop, no issues though.

There must be a way, custom rom is the final solution, hahaha xD
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Hey c'mon, am I a rookie here?! LOL. I won't use anything but a custom ROM, no way would I use stock for any reason. I had issues with BSDGeek's IRS' once ROMs progressed to KK and the Viper app got updated, as well as many of the very old IRS that are no longer even available for download. This is the first time I've ever had any of yours not work.

For the record I'm using a custom version of CM11. Far as switching over to LP or any other ROMs, no way for the time being. I'm using a legacy device that I must have tried a million ROMs on before I found one that actually works well. I tried two LP ROM a couple months back and they sucked. So I'm just going to stick with what works until I get another phone. Thanks for your continued work man.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Hey, stock rom is not for rookies kay? custom rom is not pro pros too.

Anyway, the irs still doesn't work? :confused:
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
No, sorry they aren't. Just the new HTC ones and one or two of the WaveMaxx are working (and all of your others released in the past year still of course). :(
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Hmmmm, no one else is having this issue. But its just soo weird...

Send an email to me, list those which didn't work.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
I've actually ended up disabling Viper for the time being to save battery. Consumption has been really high since updating the app. I noticed a big difference after turning it off over the weekend. Neutron Music Player sounds great on its own, I was pleasantly surprised how good without Viper. So for now at least a break or just wait until the next phone to use Viper again. I will miss it for my speaker but I'll just have to live with it.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Convolver consumes more battery. Without it, the battery usage is not significant.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah I'm sure with a few tweaks (also use battery saver driver too) I maybe could reduce the power consumption. But if you take away the convolver you remove one of the most important things about Viper IMO. Also I have noticed the startup lag I was getting with Neutron is now non-existent. That's the real issue, I'm using an old device with a dual core processor, 1 GB of RAM and 1850 battery. Simply doesn't produce the ideal operating environment for an app like Viper. Not exactly a news flash to me. Hopefully by the end of the year I will have a Google Nexus 5 or 6 when I'm ready to upgrade and find a good deal.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
OK after Viper withdrawal I'm going to try the battery saver option and turn off convolver. Least now my volume is way better, as well as better bass without distortion. BTW doing this has prevented the startup lag too.
[Android Software Development] Zeuszoos:
ZhuHang,

Could you please add one for the following headphones?:
