Well my livestage is turned off too, and when I go to play a song it's fine but the NEXT song you can tell livestage was switched on even though the switch in settings is still off. If you turn it on and back off, it sounds fine again, until the next song.

You're right, there was a boomsound icon and now there's a Harman/Kardon icon ((<.>)) <-- looks like that.
[One (M8) Android Development] shorty1483:
No you misunderstood me :D

I flashed H/K Mod away with the DISABLING Zip, so I expected everything as BEFORE using H/K Mod. But the Boomsound icon is not showing anymore.
[One (M8) Android Development] x70xchallengerx:
ooohhhh yeah for some reason I didn't see the second line of your post 0.o

check out the 'default.xml' in system/customize/ACC and scroll to the very bottom and see if boomsound is enabled or 'true'.
[One (M8) Android Development] shorty1483:
I checked everything before posting, Boomsound is enabled in default.xml. It's also visible in settings, but for some reasons, just the statusbar icon is gone :confused:

Main reason for posting is the question if someone experienced the same?
[One (M8) Android Development] yofife2069:
I have not flashed this mod yet and the icon only shows when playing audio.
[One (M8) Android Development] shorty1483:
Yes but the icon shows NEVER on my device since reverting this Mod.
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
dirty flash your rom, see if that does the trick.
[One (M8) Android Development] GermanGuy:
I only reverted with lyapota's zips before and that gave me the BoomSound icon back. Maybe try lyapota's zip.

Anyone got a sample 24bit/192khz music file? I tried a FLAC file but the default player couldn't play it

Not very knowledgeable about the different sorts of FLAC files
[One (M8) Android Development] cc999:
Save the headaches

Just download Neutron player. I am now playing all my hi-def music perfectly, yes 192 hz also.

No mods - Stock just the Neutron player, no need for this mod.

on tmobile and viperrom. Couldn't get it to work. I flash the enable hk 1 and 2. There are still no hk settings. I also search for the harmon kardon settings on default xml and couldnt find it. bootloader is unlocked and s-off.
[One (M8) Android Development] shorty1483:
Ok first I have to explain why I wanted to go back to Stock sound. Like some others here also my sound was very low over speakers.

What I did last days:

1. Flash lyapotas H/K zip -> Everything fine with H/K

2. Flash H/K Enable Zip v1 and ADSP from baadnewz -> Everything fine with H/K, but sound over speaker to low

3. Flash H/K Disable Zip from baadnewz and reflash stock ADSP -> No Boomsound Icon, sound still to low over speaker despite Stock ADSP and Libs

4. Flash H/K Enable Zip v2 from baadnewz -> Everything fine with H/K AND Loud Sound over Speaker

5. Nandroid Backup :silly::D

User is satisfied. :laugh:

I played a sample from here http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-testfiles.aspx

Works well with Poweramp.

This plus viper4android is amazing.
[One (M8) Android Development] busterbrown77:
So I flashed this yesterday, using the combo zip, then the enabled_hk zip from andybones, and on the headphone front things were working, but settings weren't sticking and the live effect kept turning on.

Today I restored a nandroid and flashed the Verizon specific zip which fixed my speaker issue, guessing my default.xml had.issues or something.

I still think they sound different though, and swear it's applying the 3d effect even though it shouldn't be though.

Anyone else run into this?
[One (M8) Android Development] ElChibo:

[One (M8) Android Development] ickedmel:
Hey baadnewz just wanted to say thanks Verizon m8 here worked great for me just flashed asdp and hk the first file that was listed with the Verizon fix works great. Just to add for other other people for the phone speakers I don't really notice a difference but it definitely doesn't sound lower to me at all but where this thing really does shine I tested it out in my car with the system I have and in my opinion sounds way better then BoomSound very big difference. Anyone else with a system test this out. Also when using headphones or aux do yourself a favor turn off live stage option I didn't notice much of a difference until I turned that off. Great job bad thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] Pauls57:
Not sure why, but after the mod, my phone speakers are sounding much, much better and quite a bit louder. Really pleased! Thanks

I think this mod just replaces the stock sounds like ringtones and not is with louder ones, nothing to do with media
[One (M8) Android Development] GermanGuy:
?????Did you even look at the mods?
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
Well, you didnt link the thread but I downloaded a zip from a list of mods that were listed just like that and inside the zip was a bunch of folders, notifications, ringtones, alarms...
[One (M8) Android Development] GermanGuy:
Why don't you take your time and download the zips that you referenced and you will find xml files and not a bunch of ringtones.
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
Because I'm not interested in using it and I'm working with two devices at the moment. Notice I said I think that's what they are. Chill out. Find something more productive to do than harass me for being wrong. It happens.
[One (M8) Android Development] GermanGuy:
I guess I am confused. Somebody was so nice to post mods for volume boosting and you just throw out an uneducated guess that those mods are just louder ringtones. If you are so busy and you are not interested in those mods then just don't post about what you are guessing.
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
Bro, why are you keeping this up? This is the last post I'm going to waste because you feel like bickering. You didn't link a thread so no one could look at what these mods even are. Someone is supposed to just blindly download a zip and flash it not knowing what it is? The mods I was referring too are listed EXACTLY like that. Loud louder loudest or whatever. I was attempting to shed some light on what "I THINK" they are so people would have SOME idea of what they are before flashing. I can be wrong. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. Nobody is being forced to take my advice. They can go right ahead and look it up. Have a fantastic evening, morning, afternoon, whatever it is where you are. Please don't let my little mistake ruin your day.

Thanks!!! How's your battery life? Is it better than stock? I have great battery life on stock rooted that's why I'm so hesitant to flash custom roms.
[One (M8) Android Development] yuppicide:
So there's 33 pages of posts here.. what's the definitive answer.. do you think this makes your phone sound better or the same?

I've got the Sprint HTC One M8, rooted, S-OFF, nothing further.. just wanted to uninstall bloatware.
[One (M8) Android Development] Pauls57:
You need the updated settings.apk to show the option for this. Battery life on this phone is great stock, and as good or better with the custom roms
[One (M8) Android Development] Justintoxicated:
So I have options for both boomsound and HK audio is this correct?

Boomsound enables when I unplug headphones, with the headphones plugged in, toggling boomsound seems to do nothing. Is this the correct behavior?

So then does the HK audio only work for when headphones are plugged in?

Is the only advantage the Clari-Fi?

Is there a way I can toggle between boomsound and HK audio so I can see if there really is any difference or after updating am I already on HK audio only? I'm not sure if I have HK or Boom audio or what I there must be some way to tell a differnce between the two?

I'm so confused!
[One (M8) Android Development] billydroid:
Now I can't update adsp, because I'm s-on. But when I turn on the live stage effect while listening to an audio book. It sounds like the narrator is standing in room with me. Pretty cool. The clarify option has only a small change for me. But I suppose it depends on the compression of the audio file. Again I'm s-on and haven't updated adsp.
[One (M8) Android Development] nickmilla15:
From what I've experienced, hk usually doesn't do too much for audio. It really shines when streaming music though. It can be summed up as this: when it does something- you notice. Big time.

I need to add that I'm on Verizon M8 with s-off so I installed teh s-off version, I tried to install the zips through recovery is this not the correct way to install them? The OP doesn't specify, I'm reading now that I might need to fastboot them instead?
[One (M8) Android Development] Killer-B:
It broke my bluetooth audio.
[One (M8) Android Development] Pauls57:
I did the flash with twrp recovery, worked fine. But, I did it with the first version, flashed the settings apk from andybones, then the firmware, worked great. Now, there's an all in one flash. First, make a nandroid from recovery, and if you use twrp, which I like, for god's sake disable the screen timeout, this has screwed a lot of folks.

Code:

v3

- updated script to disable boomsound when enables HK

so does that mean when i turn off clearify boomsound kicks in again ?

i need the switch to turn off both... cause sometimes i use v4a :(
[One (M8) Android Development] cristy7610:
I just flashed v3 but no sound in my stock player and reverted back with disable v3 mod.My rom is viper v1.5 and S-On .Is another way to install this mod ?
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
To me, it can do wonderful things or terrible things, depending on the audio source material. It can cause unwanted artifacts in some audio while making some really shine. I guess it's a matter of opinion.

I think that it's one or the other and that if HK is enabled, you don't have boomsound but to me out sounds like what boomsound does is built in anyway, like it's on all the time, or that the foundation of the Harman audio, regardless of the effect settings, achieves a similar effect.
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
There is but you need to be s-off so you can update your adsp.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

With v3, boom sound is removed completely. You can also turn off H/K if you want while playing music
[One (M8) Android Development] cristy7610:
Now I'm S-off and want to flash v3 with adsp update ...You say that in this version boom sound is completely remove and only h/k will run after this?
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
Correct. You can check this by going into /system/customize/AAC/default.xml and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You will see boomsound has been set to "false" which means it's been completely turned off.
[One (M8) Android Development] cristy7610:
So,in case I don't like this mod h/k I just have to flash h/k disable and everything will be back again with boomsound and the icon of this?
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
That's correct.
[One (M8) Android Development] cristy7610:
Wow! It works perfect.The Clari-Fi option works very good and I can activate in the same time Live Stage.It will be perfect if we can chose between h/k sound and boom sound.:good:

From what I see now this Clari-fi is focus on mid range and more acustics and it sound much louder with headphones and also with the speakers.Maybe somebody will make a full comparation between h/k and boom sound. .:good:

[One (M8) Android Development] deeznuts:
Maybe good for people with stock roms but who is on this site to run stock when s-off is here, lol?!? People think it's HK so must be good even though there's no HK hardware speakers installed here. Nothing more than an equalizer setting that can be done with viper4android or power amp. Never understood the hype either. Damn that HK model One M8 for Sprint is ugly too, LoOks like a huge iPhone 3g. But HK is written on the box so people will get it, lol!
[One (M8) Android Development] kfasheldon:
Seems working nice on skydragon on uk s-on model, no s-off for uk h3 model :) , noticed that vlc ignores setting , poweramp uses but volume us lower than stock player , stock works fine but winamp is far better sound.

Tested flac at 96 16, 96 24 and 192 24, also mp3. Clarity definatly improves mp3 and streaming but as flac is lossless it makes no sense , kind of brightens the sound.

But I wonder how many have headphones that match or even downloaded music in true format , seems a lot is converted or not so high as supposed to be.

But its sure a great sound coming from phone.
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
I think it was extremely stupid for HTC to hold back the HK version and release separately this way even if they had done it for all carriers. For the money, when you buy the highest quality audio smartphone available, that should mean for the year at least, not a couple weeks. But in regard to the effect, I thought as you do about it until today. Playing it in my high tech car system makes the well tuned and great sound i had before seem muddy and muffled. Occasionally in squashes vocals a little depending on the song. Or there's almost a slight phase effect but I only notice that with severely bad quality mp3's. Overall, I'm much more impressed than I expected to be. They absolutely should have just made them all this way. Aweful marketing strategy.

FYI the HK version has the same exact internal hardware, including the speakers.
[One (M8) Android Development] deeznuts:
That makes more sense. So the HK phone comes with HK speakers with this equalizer. That makes sense. Very true though, why not have all devices come with HK speakers, not like that version is gonna cost anymore to the consumer I bet? So basically porting over HK equalizer made for HK speakers to be used on our BoomSound speakers along with the BoomSound equalizer. In theory sounds pretty redundant but if u say it makes a noticeable difference, I guess worth trying. I honestly think BoomSound sounds great as is with the speakers. When I play YouTube videos I can't even have the volume on high, way too loud like a movie theater already! I don't use wired headsets, only BT so guess I won't hear the difference there? BT streaming I must say though is pretty amazing as is in my car and Jaybird headsets.

Searching online I don't see anywhere staring it comes with HK speakers. Just this equalizer and HK ear buds valued at $140 msrp price of course. So basically if I use solely BT to listen to my music I would not benefit from any of this since you need a wired headset correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
I think you're misunderstanding me. Idk whether or not HK makes the speakers. Whoever made them, all m8's have the same internal hardware. It's just the software/firmware and racing stripes (different colors) that makes it an HK edition. So with this mod, you essentially have the HK edition. The HK comes with headphones by HK instead of HTC phones. That's the only hardware difference.
