Oh well I kinda expected that lol. I'm fairly satisfied with your free IRS but when I do get the chance to buy your IRS's in the future I'll definitely do it. Overall I'm glad that you're back now :) Good luck on developing those amazing IRS's again :good:
[Android Software Development] gummie:
I don't quite follow the comparison table at the OP. The difference on 128K and Lossless. Are you refering to the bit rate that are seen on .MP3 Details? I always prefer downloading .MP3 with either VX or atleast 320kbps, does the comparison mean that it makes my .MP3's output downgraded or something?

Sorry for intrusion but I'm just starting on this audiophile stuffs, since I had this new hardware as a gift.

[Android Software Development] nitephlight:
^^^this

it is WAY too easy to get swept up in the magic of lossless source material and a decent pair of cans (trust me been down this path), BUT I'm a car audio guy now and let me tell you- i prefer Trampled Under Foot in FULL remaster, cranked up 300w style ;) all i can ask of post processing is minimize the distortion and bring out the mids when the going gets tough.

Does it rattle your trunk lid?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
First, understand what is IRS. See OP.
[Android Software Development] crawler9:
What's the low end of your frequency ranges? Not that it really matters as your samples sound great either way, but I was just curious and didn't see the low boundary listed anywhere (just the high). Sorry if I missed this somewhere.

I know for at least myself, I can feel, even if I'm not able to hear, frequencies as low as 12Hz, and my headphones' frequency range ranges from 10Hz～30KHz.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Well, some information have to be kept with myself. Sometimes if i give a lot information, and when I need to change something its headache, and people dont actually look at these info.

The low part, just take it as 0.
[Android Software Development] nitephlight:
trunk ain't the problem bro, its your door panel woofers- they need enough crossover to balance out the low end sound spatially, but too much rattles the chassis.. takes some effort to get a bump without the junk ;)

i love hip hop as much as the next guy, but i have a find appreciation for tracks that are mastered to perfection; Take a listen to Ke$sha Tik Tok (no really) through cans then loud as you can still enjoy on a decent speaker system.. or Will Smith or Dave Matthews- there is art in loud too :)

This morning, my house was broke in and robbed. A lot of my family's belongings were taken. None of us were hurt which is a relief.

Fortunately, the robbers didn't manage to take my laptop, maybe they in a hurry to escape. I hope they don't return for the leftovers.

So, The situation here is messy at the moment. I may be inactive to sort things out.

Your patience and support is needed at this time. Hereby I advise you guys to be more careful at your place.

Hope things get better for me and my family. Peace.

[Android Software Development] kikemotions:
Can Someone explain me what's IRS? (besides the governmental Tax office from the US) i love Viper4Android, but dont know (and i've looked on the vp website, and XDA) what exactly it does? its a complement of the viper? another sound engine? an automatic equalizer that works with your mood?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
See IRS page in website, we explained there :)

You can call the convolver an effect simulator. This simulator need a simulation file to do the simulation. The file is called IRS.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
First of all, very sorry to read about your house being broken into. I hope they catch the trash that did it. Really puts things in perspective as to what is important and I'm sure I can speak for everybody in saying we're glad you & yours are OK.

Question about convolver. I have a Galaxy S2 (T989) and I can no longer use this as I could with the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit. I read the log and it says phones with no VFP support can't use convolver. I assume that means only devices with ARMv6/v7 processors can use this function and not NEON (which is what I have) from what I've read. Is that the case? Is there anyway I will be able to use convolver in the future? Thanks.

Reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9397065/android-armv6-v7-and-vfp-neon
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
If your processor has NEON u can use convolver. Driver will be installed automatically.

If there's no NEON and no VFP at all, then you cant use convolver.

Without VFP means no vfp and no NEON.

Normally processors with neon have vfp, but in case yours don't, neon is enough.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Hmmm, well I've tried high quality and super and still convolver will not work. Any suggestions? I've used the app for quite some time now and never had this happen before until I switched phones. I would have thought the S2 would have no problem. Thanks for the reply btw.
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I had to switch mine to a system app to get a couple of the effects to work. I have a GN2.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
I have it installed that way already so android won't kill it while it runs in the background. Still doesn't fix convolver but thanks for the suggestion.
[Android Software Development] mabomod:
The good news for you is I've got the exact same phone (with AOKP 4.2.2 rom) and have been using convolver with V4A for a while now. I'd like to know if you were able to see the dropdown list of IRS under convolver? Also tell me what troubleshooting you've done (since you've had experience with v4a) besides uninstalling, reinstalling?
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Yes, I can see the drop down list and the IRS files are in the Viper kernel folder. I've installed as a system app and user app. Tried the build.prop tweaks just for the heck of it although I figured that wouldn't do anything since the app itself works. I've also tried installing with high quality and super to see if that makes a difference. Super SU is my superuser app. I even tried an older version (.13) to see if that would work. No go with convolver no matter what. On the Galaxy Exhibit convolver always worked with no issues.

Any other ideas? Thanks for trying to help.

BTW I've also tested this on a 4.2 ROM, 4.3 and 4.4. The app itself will not even work on 4.3 no matter what ROM it is. I haven't tried AOKP on this phone yet, but I wonder if that makes any difference?
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Solved

OK I deleted all the IRS files in the kernel folder. I reinstalled two of them to do some testing. Oddly what fixed the problem was fixing permissions on the two IRS files. They both worked after. I then extracted all the other IRS files back into the kernel folder using Script Manager instead of CM's File Manager app. Now they ALL work. So the problem the whole time was CM File Manager copied the files to the folder and assigned the wrong permissions!

This normally would have never happened had I used Script Manager or another app all along like I did when I used the Exhibit, which ran 4.2. The reason I didn't this time on the S2 is that some functions in SM Manager are not working in KitKat right now (can't edit build.prop or copy apps to the system folder) so I did not install the app on my new ROM. I'm so glad I revisited trying the app for this purpose.

I hope this saves others some grief but it's sad that I need two or three different file apps to do all the things I need to do typically.
[Android Software Development] mabomod:
Wow, I wouldn't have figured out that permissions was the problem, but I would've suggested deleting the kernel folder with all the IRS files and reinstalling v4a again. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you've got convolver working otherwise it's such a shame to miss out on that goodness. As far as file managers are concerned, I'm good with Root Explorer and Solid Explorer. Try those and see if you like them. I personally just use Solid Explorer right now, but Root Explorer is better for changing permissions.
[Android Software Development] x.0ni.x:
You the man! Where and how do I find the kernel file?? I'm using es file explorer if that matters.
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
All the IRS files go into internal sd card location Viper/Kernel. This directory should have been created after Viper installation. Just extract the files there.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Hi guys,

I'm back. Now I'm having my semester break before my exam on January. So I have some free time to work on some impulse response samples.

Due to house break-in robbery happened last week, some previously planned IRS will no longer be developed due to lost of corresponding devices.

Thanks.

[Android Software Development] dmillerzx:
Clear audio+? ;)
[Android Software Development] aavvaallooss:
Thank you!

Wich one is better, in your experience, for general purpose (Movies, for example)? Acoustic, Bass, Treble (What is this?) or Vocal?

PS: I don´t own an iPod...
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
You don't need an iPod to decide which is your favourite.

We do not use the term "better" in audio effects.

Everything is self-dependent :) Whichever you like is the best for you.

If there's a "better" effect, I will only publish 1 IRS and V4A will only have 1 setting. :D

Yep, that's right. It's all a matter of opinion. What's "better" is up to the ear of the beholder.

[Android Software Development] samdal:
Hi, how does this compare to the good old rev3?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Better in every aspect except for the frequency range.

The purpose of removing old gen is to bring up new gen. So do not try too hard to compare old gen and new gen. Use the new one :)
[Android Software Development] samdal:
Hypothetically, by using the xperia convolver on an xperia phone, would you in theory hear no difference?
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
In Xperia Z1, yes. In other xperias, unless the audio is exactly same as Z1, it will be a yes.

But some effects not found in older xperias.
[Android Software Development] SignetSphere:
After tweaking around my settings i think for me the best one among the previous IRS's is the Clear Audio+ one (Bundled on Sony Xperia Sound Enhancement IRS). The audio is much more clearer and the bass is really something this audio mod can only provide.
[Android Software Development] crawler9:
The new ClearAudio+ and Clear bass MAX are both very nice. I've noticed one thing though that bugs me a little. These two new IRS files both seem a little quiet. At max volume, it's still a little too soft on my Galaxy S4, at least without my amp. The audio seems noticeably quieter when Convolver is enabled and the new Clear bass MAX IRS is selected, with no other settings in ViPER4Android turned on. It almost sounds like the bass is not modified at all, but everything else is slightly recessed, leading to an overall quieter sound presence. Nevertheless, I like the sound. It just seems like the volume could use a slight boost.
[Android Software Development] geovas77:
The clear sound is just amazing, thank you so much and have a happy new year.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Yes. As explained last time, the new gen IRS are now different. Last time, I normalise the volume to get roughly the same loudness.

But now, all IRS passes through a process which gives the same power (not volume).

In this case, when bass is higher, overall volume becomes lower. (power is constant, this is how it should work, or else bass will go terribly high)

You are right, if the volume can slightly increase it will be perfect. But there's a lot work to do for this to be applied on all IRS.

So, for now use other settings to balance up.

Btw, seriously why do people listen music at MAX volume? I only listen at 30% volume. If the IRS sounds quieter, I just press the volume up button a few times and everything goes perfect for me :D
[Android Software Development] crawler9:
Some headphones seem to be louder or quieter in general than others at the same volume. The headphones I currently use most frequently are quieter than most. They need to be used at a higher volume level to be able to hear everything well. In general, I like my music relatively quiet too, but I can't keep the volume so low with these headphones especially with the new IRS files. Without the IRS files, I listen around 40-60%. With, they still seem a little quiet around 100%. I will probably adjust output gain and playback gain control when I have my phone again to attempt to raise the volume to where I'd like it.

[MENTION=4449519]zhuang[/MENTION], please don't take my critique as an insult, or a claim that I dislike your work. I love your IRS files and appreciate everything you do for our community here on XDA. I just figured I'd throw my opinions out there. :)
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
No problem :good:

But one weird thing is that the IRS should not cause such big volume decrease to the extend that 100% volume remain quiet. Because 50% already loud enough without IRS, so 75% volume with IRS will be good.

Maybe different phone volume work differently.
[Android Software Development] SignetSphere:
Whoever listens to music at 100% volume must be deaf xD I only use around 3 clicks (from 0 volume) and it's already quite loud for me lol.

But the fruits of waiting will be awesome I know.. thanx Zhuhang for making my S4 a decent phone for music lovers... hats off bro.. :) I have one question.. When I install the latest version of V4A it doesnot show the convolver option so had to use the older one which shows the option.. is there any solution for this...

[Android Software Development] conganhthuc:
which one is the best one I 'd like to buy couple of them but don't know which one to choose? thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] crawler9:
The best is entirely subjective. Different people have different preferences for how they want their audio to sound. The best way to find out which YOU think is the best is to try the free versions.

My personal favorites have always been the ClearAudio+ and Clear bass IRS files. They're a part of the Sony Xperia Sound Enhancement pack. I haven't tried the new Z-Edition versions yet, but if they are anything like the free (or old paid) editions, these are definitely worth the money. From what I've seen in the IRS threads around XDA, the HTC Beats seems to be a crowd pleaser. It never really grew on me, but others have said good things about it and I've seen several people asking around trying to find it after the old starter packs with individual works were originally pulled. The iPod IRS pack has something for everyone too, with 23 total IRS files. You're bound to find something in there that tickles your fancy. The Waves MaxxAudio AudioWizard IRS is different. I love it, but it's not quite like the others. That's not to say it's a bad IRS at all. Just...a different sound. It's hard to really explain.

Frankly, with the wonderful work [MENTION=3901724]zhuhang[/MENTION] does, you really can't go wrong with anything. You can wait around for other responses, try out the free editions, or just buy them all like I did. :p
