Just want to hear your opinions about SRS. I've made a Helper version that adds new option "SRS TruMedia" to Settings, it can switch between Beats and SRS with its predefined presets (Music, Movie, Voice, 5.1). It's the same as Venom Sound Enhancement, actually it's outdated HTC stuff that is used now only by stock gallery for video playback (preset Movie).

View attachment XperiaPackHelper.apk

Flash this zip to enable all 4 presets:

View attachment srs_presets.zip

I'm just not impressed with the sound SRS produces, too artificial and unnatural. Beats is a lot better for all of my heavy music, both in speakers and in headphones. Mod will most probably conflict with similar Venom one, plus it's not a global effect, I apply it to each audio stream upon creation, so there can be some bugs (not fatal though, Sony SE is working like that too :D).
[One (M7) Android Development] hoangps:
Sr im noob :D

But i have a question,where is xperia pack 4.8 download link?

I dont see in post 1
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Downloads tab on top of the page) Project is using DevDB now.
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
Hey There,

I came from a slimmed down ARHD 52 Rom, with Elemental X ...etc etc..

and the 4.8 Pack flash ends up in a Bootloop ...stucks at the end of the bootup anim...to be exact...

What I am doing wrong? :)
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Hi. What options did you chose in aroma? If it's in the end of animation, then most likely logcat is already loaded and it can show the problem, please post it here.
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
well I went with the defaults, of course 4.4, and the recommended option....

I will install now the arhd 53, and then I give it a shot., and then I am gonna slim down the rom...if its still possible :D

thanks
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
my config is the same as yours, it should work)
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
Well, after installing the ARHD 53.0 and then the Xperia, everything went smoothly.

Even after I cleaned the ROM+ElementalX

Now I installed the helper, and I am really curious if its gonna be different :)

BTW I love the xperia Gallery, is there any chance to make it default ?:D

And one last question:

How can I get lyrics in the walkman?

Thanks guys great work
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
How you clean it? I use ROM Cleaner.

Helper is the best) No gaps for software keys in apps, per app profiles, Sony Sound Enhancements!

Any image open action will ask you what gallery to use, choose Album and answer "use always".

Lyrics extension:

[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
I'm a metal head myself too and I have to say that in my crappy car's sound system I prefer to use SRS effects. So it has it's utility. :) Thanks!
[One (M7) Android Development] hunkyycbz:
please fix if any bugs in srs sound effects...i am eager to try it..

and can i use sony sound enhancements with xperia helper without flashing the libs and other files i mean without flashing xperia pack zip..actually i tried pushing sonysound enhancemnts.apk to priv-app with root explorer proper permissions but got bootloop..??
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
I don't flash all the apps, just SSE and all the necessary libraries. Aroma installer does heavy lifting for you, don't worry. Just deselect all the apps in the installer and you are done.
[One (M7) Android Development] hunkyycbz:
i know that mate but dont want libs and framework files..this means libs are necessary for sound enhancements to work ??
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
Maybe I'm wrong but I think you need those files to give support to SSE.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Sony SE requires framework and audio effects service to work.
[One (M7) Android Development] hunkyycbz:
thanks ...trying srs effect... authentic sound only due to your mod ;)
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
First of all, thanks for the answers.

I use also Rom Cleaner, its amazing.:) just like this xperia thingy :)

Try the following out :

start an mp3 with the default music player, and while its playing, start the walkman... you will hear the difference:D
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
With Helper effects should be applied to all MediaPlayer audio, including HTC Music :) So difference will be minimal, Walkman is still a lot more fancy IMHO)

Too bad effects are not applied to OpenGL audio, because it uses native libraries that are included in the game engine...
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
MAybe I am doing something wrong, but my question is:

when I start an mp3 and then walkman, the quality is just amazing, what I want (speaker)

but when I just start the walkman, and then a music...the treble is too much although I havent changed anything.... I click on the normalize, and xloud...and after a minute it goes back ok... deep with bass.

So I have noooooo clue what I am doing :D:DD:
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
If you don't create profile for walkman any overlapping sound will remove effects applied to it, even notification sounds.

Natively Sony SE was made to work only with Walkman and any app that supports it, but all such apps are obviously made by Sony :) Global profile is just my addition and it's not bug-free entirely.
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
so its normal that after starting a music in walkman.......2 minutes later the "effect kicks in? although I havent set anything :D
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Not really. It kicks in for me in a couple of minutes after boot is completed, then it works every time. Do you have profile for Walkman?
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
Quick question, does Beats off a flat equaliser curve in your mod or is it just like it is in stock?
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Beats is a standalone global effect and it doesn't affect any Sony SE settings.
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
Okay Guys, so....

The beats is always on

I also created profile----does not change a thing though (and activated)

When I fully close the program (walkman) usually i kinda forgets the settings... or I dont know...

Try this please :

start the music (does not matter how) and then start the music player it will change the sound quality...to a deeper sound...that is what I need :))

or do you want me to create video?:D
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Did you activate Helper in Xposed Installer and then reboot? Looks like Helper is not working for you at all.
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
well well well,

its activated, but only the 4.8 version....
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
that's ok ) but no idea why it's not working, should apply effects in stock Music too, in Youtube and many other apps, except games.
[One (M7) Android Development] zimilaci:
well :) its still the same, or a bit better quality than the original music player and the beats itself...so who knows maybe its working now.... :D cache dalvik cleaned

Thanks guys and great work
[One (M7) Android Development] Artc0re:
With headphones and your mod i have a nice sound but with the speakers the Sound is cracking also if i disable the Equalizer no matter which music player. I have a global profil and a profil for htc music player.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Please record an example, because I don't experience that. Something like this:

[YOUTUBE]DYPRpHhHZ_w[/YOUTUBE]
[One (M7) Android Development] Artc0re:
Need to say that i use the Sense 6 Beats libs.

How to record this?
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
I need to know what files exactly, but if it's tpa and image_beats*.bin, then it shouldn't matter.

With any screen recording app) Rec. (but it requires Pro for audio) or SCR Screen Recorder
[One (M7) Android Development] Artc0re:
The tfa folder and the image_beats files.

Here is the record https://www.dropbox.com/s/flkeut53dyvc8qx/SCR_20140321_155556.mp4
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Looks like just too loud for me :) Plus poweramp applies its own processing and it seems like gain there is pretty high.
[One (M7) Android Development] Artc0re:
Thats why i am showing you both poweramp and htc music :D

Sure its to loud but without the mod its less cracking on this high level.

But on lower volume its great.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Sony SE greatly amplifies sound even without changes in any other settings, so any imperfections became more noticable. Anyway, there is nothing I can do with effects themselves, they are implemented in native libraries without any sources or documentation.

Now I'm working on SRS and there is the same problem - I managed to turn it on/off, but any effect settings are still unreachable.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
So you don't get a flat equaliser curve after disabling Beats.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
No. EQ works independently.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Xperia Pack 4.9 online!

- Experimental SRS TruMedia effects (Xperia Pack Helper 4.9 is required)

Enable it in Audio Settings app and (hot) reboot your device.

High risk of conflicts with any other SRS implementations (Venom Sound Enhancer, MusicBox).

Original presets are close to stock by HTC, Alternative presets were heavily modified to create something different :)

- Walkman updated to 8.1.A.0.7

- Album updated to 5.4.A.0.24

- Movies updated to 6.1.A.0.18

Xperia Pack Helper was also updated to support new apps versions and additional SRS settings.

Downloads are available in the OP again. DevDB is too slow and buggy!
[One (M7) Android Development] racka:
Hi Mikanoshi,

After I saw your discussion on the era thread I would like to try your Xperia pack (again). I tried it before but it didn't seem to work for me. Are we supposed to turn Beats on or off?

Grtz. Racka
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Doesn't matter. My SRS effects doesn't require any strange manipulations, they doesn't change any files and work for both speakers and headphones.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
[MENTION=5386198]Mikanoshi[/MENTION], after going back and forth between your mod and ZeroInfinity I'm gonna keep using yours, I'm always back to it. Thank you very much to make our sound experience so streamlined into our HTC One, and for metal heads and trance lovers like me you just made our world a bit better mate! :)

Quick question, does it work on SixthSense ROM that was pulled yesterday from XDA?

Cheers!
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
It should work. Mod adds many files, but replaces few, and among those few almost all are identical between Sense 5.5 and 6.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
OK, I've got some time to do some more testing, and I don't perceive any difference between No Beats and all SRS profiles. So, may it be because I'm using an odexed ROM? I'm using stock ROM.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Record logcat while switching between SRS options and No effects.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
OK, give me a while. Just to avoid problems I just converted my ROM to a deodexed version.

EDIT: Log added.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Global effect seems to be working, now the same actions but while music is playing :)
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
Of course music was playing, it was playing in Google Music mate!
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Ok) Select any SRS effect, then start logcat and open player app, start playback and change tracks several times.
[One (M7) Android Development] racka:
SRS is working for me with Walkman, HTC music, mx player but not with spotify. Any tips to get it to work?
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Are you using Sony SE? Is it working in Spotify? They use the same effects activation process, so should both work or none of them. I also cannot test in Spotify, because it's not available in my country.
[One (M7) Android Development] racka:
Sony SE working systemwide. But switching through the srs profiles while listening to spotify is equal to no effects.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Sony SE actually is not system wide) It is applied in the same way as SRS. As I cannot test Spotify, I need logcat. Look at the posts above, logcat should be started before Spotify.
[One (M7) Android Development] racka:
Okay I will try today or tomorrow and report back. This is fairly new to me so I need to do some research on logcats :).
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
There you have it. I selected SRS Music then I started logcat and opened Google Music Player app, started playing a song and changed several times of track.

Cheers.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
No signs of applying effects in this log... Is it from Sense 6 ROM? Is it working in any other player at all? If not, then Xposed hook failed and MediaPlayer is not requesting effects to be applied. Need log from Xposed Installer, but if it's true, I will not fix it until official Sense 6 ROMs appear.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
Log is from a Sense 5.5 Stock ROM. I don't know if it works in other players, I didn't test it. OK, I'm gonna reinstall the helper and try in a different player.

EDIT: Tested with HTC Music Player, not working.

EDIT 2: Added Xposed log. Reinstalled Helper. I launched the Google Music Player, and while it was playing disabled Beats, then tried several times to activate SRS effects, and finally back to Beats. As always effects equals No Effects. And as you can see, there are only a reg for disabling Beats, after that no more log.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
Off Topic

BTW, in that log Sense 5(.5) Toolbox is crashing as you can see.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Is Sony SE working for you? I can see it was applied to some systemui sound in log, so it must be working, SRS is applied in the same function, so honestly no idea why it's not working. Try disabling SRS TruMedia in settings and then enable again. Also are you testing on local or online music?

No, it's lockscreen disabler crashing :)
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
Yep, it is working, I'm using it. I tried enabling and disabling serveral times with no success. I tried it with online music and local music, again no success.

I'm a bit lost here. So whatever cross your mind that it could be, just let me know. I'm thinking even in flash the same ROM as you.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't pay enough attention to what that Exception says.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Try this, a lot more debug messages in logcat here:

View attachment XperiaPackHelper.apk
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
OK, on it. I will post back in a few!
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
OK, attached are your new logs. Same procedure. Started log, selected a SRS effect, opened Google Music Player and started reproduction, tried to change several time the effect even activating Beats and on an SRS one changed tracks.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Not a single line about Sony SE :) How is it even working? SRS is not initialized on player start too, it seems like xposed module is not working at all. Are you making logcats with an app or adb? I need a log during hot reboot. "adb logcat > log.txt"
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
I'm using CatLog I can use adb if you prefer it, I assure you that Sony SE is working I even have a profile defined for Google Music Player and I can hear a very clear difference in the sound. ?
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Then something is wrong with logcat) Try making it with adb, select any SRS effect once and then start Google Music and change tracks several times.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
OK, you are right ClearBass ain't working anymore. It was misleading me because equalizer works. Anyway I'm adding my log.

Do you mind to give me a Helper 4.8 apk? I want to try again with an old version, I think that it stopped working in 4.9
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Definitely a problem with Xposed :) Make the last logcat, during hot reboot.

[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:

[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Hm... I have not a single idea :laugh: Everything seems to be fine. Like a last resort - try updating Xposed (47 was the last version and now 2.5 is released with app_process 50), also disable other modules (you can leave toolbox enabled).
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
Oh, Gosh, what a tool. :D

I'm in that new version. Anyway, I'm going to try disabling every single extension and if it doesn't work I will reinstall my ROM again.
[One (M7) Android Development] 93ae8074:
I'm throwing the towel! No bloody clue about what is happening, Sony SE works but not SRS effects. Beats it is then.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
I've just stumbled upon a dual 3.5mm jack cable, so recorded a little demo. MAX-2 step happend to be a little bit loud :D

[One (M7) Android Development] RamsesVI:
Thanks Minakoshi for the pack!. 4.9 works very nice on Viper 5.8 (Sony sound enhancement)

Only thing that doesn't work is SRS Truemedia - the mod installs fine and appears in the settings, but doesn't want to enable SRS.

The only thing I can do is enable Beats or no effects.

Strange, as I can enable SRS through the default sound settings, but not through Truemedia.

Must be something with Viper though, as your demo shows it works nice with other roms
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Yep, Viper mods seems to modify the same SRS effects. Are there 4 different options + EQ presets? Then it's the same TruMedia, just another presets.
[One (M7) Android Development] hunkyycbz:
bro this mod not working properly on renovate sense 6 rom..the upper speaker sounds very low and without bass ..the sound was awesome on any sense 5.5 rom ??
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
There is no official Sense 6 for HTC One, and M8 has no Beats support, so no idea how all these crappy ports are even working.

Everything will be fixed after the actual update for M7.
[One (M7) Android Development] RamsesVI:
Have you tried your soundmod on Revolution HD 61.1? and is everything working OK?
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
No. I'm on 53.0 until official m7 release.

ICE CAVE 5.0 online!

- Complete mod rebranding to ICE CAVE

- Ice Cube Xposed module (previously known as Xperia Pack Helper), can now be automatically installed on first boot after mod installation

- Noozxoide EIZO-rewire is no longer an option (you can still install it from Play Store and use with ICE CAVE)

- Devices (DLNA) updated to 6.0.0.A.0.12

- Google Lyrics Plugin updated to 5.0.A.0.6

- Wikipedia Plugin updated to 5.0.A.0.6

- YouTube Karaoke Plugin updated to 5.0.A.0.6

- YouTube Plugin updated to 5.0.A.0.6

- Fixed FC for Google Music Extension

- Improved init.d script

ICE CAVE can be installed on top of Xperia Pack, but you should remove Xperia Pack Helper first.

You'll have to add apps for Sony SE profiles again in Ice Cube (profiles themselves will remain untouched).
[One (M7) Android Development] Thela7:
Hi [MENTION=5386198]Mikanoshi[/MENTION]. Does Ice Cave include SRS? I guess it would be a silly question to ask if you actually like it, but since it's your own mod it is obvious you liked it. >. <

Honestly, SRS is the reason I stopped using the "other audio mod" . I quote it because I don't even remember how is called now.

[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
I like Beats and use it exclusively) But some of those presets are pretty good and I can see someone using them for particular kinds of music and external sound systems.

Also it seems to be working pretty stable (unless you are using Spotify, where it sounds awful for some unknown reason :D)

[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
Because I have no idea)) Files are there, but I don't think it's working. Should it work only in Sony apps?

Images in Album are the same as original. If you want enhancements, use QuickPic or better HTC Gallery, they have their own enhancements:

I was just focusing on sound, maybe it's time for another stuff :)
[One (M7) Android Development] shawnsac2000:
Everything is working with the latest version of Insert Coin sense 6. I tried all the sound mods, and this is what I'm looking for. It sounds AMAZING!!! and it's loud, the walkman music player is one of the best players.
[One (M7) Android Development] yoab009:
Thank you I'll look into that then
[One (M7) Android Development] shawnsac2000:
When I first installed this mod, I watched Atmosphere - "trying to find a balance" I had the volume on low. And it was pretty loud. That's with the speakers! I tried with headphones, and it wasn't to bassy.
[One (M7) Android Development] hunkyycbz:
thanks for the great update...im using exosense rom which has "boomsound" option below beats option and cant be turned off for speakers..sound is normal with beats off but when i turn on beats,,the sound gets too much high although clarity is nice but how to keep it normal with beats on ??
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
M7 or M8? Boomsound is doing nothing on M7 and uses global effect number 902, the same as SRS TruMedia in this mod, so when you enable Boomsound, probably SRS TruMedia preset activates (Focus or Ultra Clarity).

Try to reboot also, maybe switching boomsound on/off made SRS effect stuck. It is if you enabled SRS at all, otherwise no idea))
[One (M7) Android Development] Thela7:
[MENTION=5386198]Mikanoshi[/MENTION]:

I thought the SRS would be activated all the time. After flashing Ice Cave I learned that I was wrong. Thanks for sharing! ^_^

When I posted everything was working on InsertCoin Sense 6, I was wrong! When I click the audio settings icon, I checked the box for SRS TruMedia. Reboot phone! The SRS TruMedia is under the Beats Audio. It won't let me change presets, I can only turn on/off beats.
[One (M7) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
SRS is working fine on Sense 6 for me. Is Ice Cube module installed and working?

I'll post new version for Sense 6 soon, just a minor cleanup, so 5.0 should work too.

rebooting doesnt help... now testing 62.0 if that still persist i will catch a logCAT then :P

Edit: no matter times I reboots it said ice cave module is enabled and will active upon next reboot :eek: ... is generating a logcat on debug mode will help?

Attached two files ,if they are not that help full,then let me know
