Can anybody confirm that the loud speaker mod will work on a stock rooted ROM and just boomsound? Or is only for the h/k mod

[One (M8) Android Development] Div033:
I don't buy it. Carrier employees have never proven to be paragons of inside knowledge and instead will often lie just to make a sale. I understand there is no sale to be made in this context but I'd still wait for a more reputable source.
[One (M8) Android Development] Justintoxicated:
When you say HK is enabled are you referring to the Calre-fi option or do you mean enabled in the default.xml file? Or do you mean enabled in that I flashed the files? I'm still pretty confused on this one.

I went back in to the default.xml and turned on boomsound and the option re-appeared. Does that mean I have both boomsound and HK audio?
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
I mean as in you flashed the mod and the XML entry is set to true. The XML edit only makes the setting appear in your settings or not. I'm assuming the v3 has boomsound as false because of the fact that HK takes over and adjusting the boomsound toggle does nothing. My guess is that the book sound libs are replaced by the HK libs. That may not be the case. Just a guess. You'd have to ask one of the fellows who worked on the mod.

This will not work on any stock based roms <item type="boolean" name="support_harman">true</item> even if this is set to true it will not make the icon in settings show at all and this is on both 1.12 and 1.54. The problem I believe is the settings.apk is not set to accept more icons because if I take a settings.apk let's say InsertCoin and add that in icon shows.
[One (M8) Android Development] plun:
Yep, deeper bass and clearer. :D Another "sound-picture".

[One (M8) Android Development] levanoza:
Great work, I Installed with fix 2 and works great, I'm on ARHD rom, but I have both, boomsound and H/k, and interesting both will work, or boomsound is only icon?
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
While the improvement through the headphone is quite noticeable IMO, some people have commented that there is a reduction in volume through the external speakers when using the H/K mod. To me there doesn't seem to be a difference but curious if anyone else feels that way. Through the external speaker I'm hitting about 90 db with H/K (didn't measure it when I had just boom sound enabled).

I believe H/K is now controlling.

Flashed this and is working great without adsp zip.
[One (M8) Android Development] Forsaked:
Works fine after flashing ADSP on a German Ex-VODAP102 (now SuperCID) device, thank you! :good:

Update:

Tested it with my AKG K601 Headphones and Clari-Fi sounds awesome, but LiveStage is a option i prefer to enable or disable from Track to Track.

I have a question about the firmware. Is it a flash one time only so it updates the adsp then I can flash my phones official firmware when it comes out or does flashing another firmware write over it?

[One (M8) Android Development] cmo220:
I actually tried this to see if it makes a difference with bluetooth. It does seem to. Not great but seems to be noticeable. I usually listen to audio books through bluetooth headphones and I like the sound more. I was impressed. Boom sound didn't do anything on bluetooth which was irritating.

When I listen wired in my car the difference is even more clear. Give it a shot. There is something to disable if you don't like too I'm pretty sure.
[One (M8) Android Development] Pauls57:
Check out the download in this post, I think maybe the one you flashed didn't include the adsp.img

From [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION]:

I edited the Harman Kardon Conversion MOD posted by Baadnewz in the general HTC One M8 Thread and made it compatible with this ROM.

I have not tested this beyond making sure it shows in Settings.apk, but I assume it works as the thread says it is for all variants all Verizon people needed to do was edited Settings for it to show.

I added everything in this .zip including how-to.

Credits to Baadnewz

EDIT: Just flashed the whole thing including the adsp.img in fastboot.

all is good, I will be posting a return .zip, MAKE SURE TO NANDROID BEFORE HAND!

it worked but did not disable the boom sound... everytime i try to edit the file on my pown then it doesnt let the file save
[One (M8) Android Development] Pauls57:
You don't really need to disable BoomSound. It only works on the internal speakers and wired headphones. You can shut it off on the headphones. To edit, I think you need, root and a kernel with write protection disabled. If you're on the stock Rom, there's an insecure kernel you can flash.

[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
+1

I use it in my pro audio system in my car and it makes most of my music sound quite a bit better without any overpowering it unwanted effect. The difference for me is actually quite obvious over BT. Some really low quality stuff can sound worse with it and every so often I find a song where it brightens the highs up but squashes the vocal a bit. Generally it makes all my music sparkle. That's really the best way I can describe it. Like polishing a dull gem.

HK Settings not showing up

Im running an Att M8 and I flashed " the HK enabler with adsp upgrade v3, but the HK settings are not showing up. I have added the required line in the default.xml file just as described in the first post but still nothing. One thing I did notice was when I flashed the zip and rebooted, it disables Boomsound (turns line of code in XML to "false") but audio still works as far as I know. I can still turn on Boomsound but no matter what I try, the HK settings are not showing. I am S-off with a W/P disabled kernel on stock rom. Any suggestions?
[One (M8) Android Development] Pauls57:
I don't think the file posted has the ADSP firmware upgrade it doesn't seem large enough, I would try flashing the firmware separately
[One (M8) Android Development] lessthanzach:
I get this as well, but here's the kicker: I don't have this mod. To my knowledge, I didn't have this issue until I installed Viper4Android audio mod. Interestingly enough, though, I didn't enable any of the bluetooth adjustments within the Viper mod so I don't think it is to blame. Probably just something to do with a stock background process in the Rom or a wonky bluetooth setup in general by HTC. BTW, I don't use Pandora either, so it's not the app. I use either Beats Music or Google's All Access Music and both exhibit the same issue. Though, another difference is that I only get it once every few songs or so and it is only a split second so I could not really care less.

Moral: It's not this HK Mod's fault so now that we've cleared that up, it is time to search for/start a discussion under Q&A.
[One (M8) Android Development] baadnewz:
i updated the OP with new info explaining why you don;t have it

"Users with stock ROMs (especially US), if your base number is 1.1x then H/K won't show in your settings because it simply lacks the code. update to a newer base or flash a custom."

you don't need to assume anything is just as easy as looking in the zip. It has adsp file in there, not to mention that not showing up in settings is not related to ADSP
[One (M8) Android Development] Pauls57:
I stand corrected, sorry!

[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
The mod won't work with firmware versions 1.1x. Your friend will have to update to 1.54 in order for it to work. Then you can flash the adsp and h/k mod and should work.

I have firmware version 1.1x (At&T) + Custom ROM, flashed adsp posted here and h/k mod works just fine. As a matter of fact, the h/k mod was working fine even before flashing the updated adsp.
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
Is the custom rom you're on also on 1.1x?
[One (M8) Android Development] baadnewz:
i rechecked now. adsp block is same across all devices. only system boot and data differ on verizon vs the rest of the variants. so it is safe to be flashed on all dunno why [MENTION=2834905]BlueHarford[/MENTION] got loop. initially when i read ( i was in my car driving home) i though the reason for his bootloop was different block for adsp on verizon but now i double checked and is block 16 for all .
[One (M8) Android Development] BlueHarford:
yea it cant be block because when i went back to stop with your zip it booted.

when i say it didnt boot. It stayed at the boot screen for the rom. I did flash all 3 zips at once.

i restored a complete backup... still stuck at ROM boot screen... flashed your stock adsp and it booted right away.

I am on latest Skyfall and latest baseban
[One (M8) Android Development] baadnewz:
i'll investigate more . since is the same block and same hardware i don't see why the adsp would give bootloop (especially since the revert to stock zip has international adsp not verizon), more likely the audioflinger lib to give you bootloop . can you test it on STOCK verizon rom? im asking because on my rom everything seems ok (as in nobody reported any bootloops with h/k mod). also you are the only one with a bootloop so far.

Since I am on stock rooted AT&T Rom 1.1x and cannot access HK settings, is the HK filtering still active after flashing? Or should I just reactivate BoomSound in the xml file?
[One (M8) Android Development] kfasheldon:
Ok international UK model on 3, its updated to 1.54 after purchase , then unlocked and rooted. Flashed several roms and tried both custom kernals.

Flashed all the hk files except adsp and seems to work fine , mp3s ,stock apps and others, flac files all ok.

So is it possible that the 1.54 ota updated international adsp code ?

If not how to get s-off as firewater seems only to work on USA models
[One (M8) Android Development] baadnewz:

[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
Is there one? Their not just using the stock HTC player? If the H/K guys were smart they would have bundled their phone with neutron music player.
[One (M8) Android Development] dreDrennon1:
Yeah they have an enhanced version of the stock music app with additional settings for clarify and livestage also hd music settings and there is a special live wallpaper and another so I was watching a video review of the actual phone and noticed these were not present in any of the diff versions available here
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
Interesting, my guess is that should be an easy port. In the meantime to enable HD music you can use Elemental X kernel, he has enabled HD music by default. For music app, try neutron music player. It's a paid app but it's about as good as it get's from an audiophile standpoint. Poweramp is also pretty good.
[One (M8) Android Development] dreDrennon1:
I will try that music player but as far as the kernel goes I don't think I can flash it because I am not s-off I just unlocked via the HTC dev site
