At the moment h/k is only made for external speaker like earphones or the big speakers..and BoomSound will be still there even if you don't see the icon ...it's in the core that it will always be on for internal speakers

I like having this mod as an option. I went back to Boomsound after testing this for about a week. I think h/k sounds awesome through earbuds, but the majority of my listening is through the speakers. For most of the music I listen to h/k sounds good through the speakers, but throw in some Metallica or something like that...sounds horrible through speakers. I'm just gonna roll with both zips on my card and if I'm in a setting where I am going to be using earbuds, I'll just flash the h/k mod and switch back when I'm done. Thanks for this mod baadnewz!

Can't seem to get this rolling on my s-off device running Viper rom.

I flash the mod, then when I check the XML file, the Harman code is not even in there for me to change from false to true.

Any pointers?

I'm not convinced with this statement. With BoomSound as False and HK stuff off, it sounds noticeably different.

I previously had BoomSound also in settings with HK and it did make a difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] suhailtheboss:
Got it, thanks everyone.

I assumed the code had to exist for me to change it to true. Didn't realize just adding th entire line would work as well.

Question here. I use T-Mobile US and would this mod work without being on the 1.54 firmware? And if it doesn't would it be an intelligent move our improvement to update my phone to the international models firmware? Thanks to those with knowledge to answer this question correctly.

Hi guys little confused im on the latest viper Rom and flashed this mod (now lost BoomSound icon) question is can I get back the BoomSound option for the speaker as well as having the mod installed or doesn't it work like that as I thought the speakers was better with BoomSound but the ear phone with this mod are epic :laugh:
[One (M8) Android Development] djakrse:
Some people say there's a conflict when they are enabled together. Others say Boomsound is always there.

You can re-enable Boomsound, at least in the settings, by editing /system/customize/ACC/default.xml (scroll to very bottom). When you find it, set to true,

<system>
...
<item type="boolean" name="support_boomsound_effect">true</item>

Hi guys,

I have been reading this thread for two days in a row now, and after trying several things, I can't get my head around it.

Perhaps I've overlooked the solution, but I've been trying so many things now.

I have an international model (In the Netherlands) and am on 1.54.401.5 CL325784 release-keys.

I am rooted (it says *unlocked* in the fast boot screen) and it says *tampered* right above unlocked, I don't know if that mean anything.

I am S-OFF as well and flashed the hk_enable_and_adsp_update_v3.zip via TWRP.

But I am seeing no H/K option in my settings menu, and the value for harman is set to true in the xml file and boomsound is set to false.

I have no clue what to do, I tried and read so much I don't know where to look now... :P

Hopefully somebody can help!

Thanks guys,

regards.
[One (M8) Android Development] ekkelon:
Hi.... Same problem for me with international version .... I don't see HK modif. In settings....

What CID you have?
[One (M8) Android Development] -Apollo-:
Looking back at this I guess what I am doing is a waste of time. I'll just re-enable Boomsound in Default.xml since from what I am reading it does not conflict with h/k. Is that confirmed, h/k and Boomsound do not conflict when both are set to true?
[One (M8) Android Development] ricthaman:
Eventually I gave up. I just flashed the Android Revolution ROM and flashed the v3 zip from the OP in recovery. Worked like a charm.

Reboot, and there was the H/K option in settings and boomsound gone.

Now I want to see if I can get Boomsound back as an option in addition to H/K. I already set the value in the default.xml to 'true', but after reboot, no boomsound option back in settings menu.

Any tips?

Regards,

Ric.

I'm a novice when it comes to making these kinda of changes. Where in the zip file do I find the script that needs editing or is it on the device itself? Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] djakrse:
Use Root Explorer or similar, go to (root of internal storage)/system/customize/ACC/ and open default.xml with a text editor. Scroll to very bottom, look for <system> and modify if necessary to value "true"

<system>

<item type="boolean" name="support_boomsound_effect">true</item>

You can also copy the file to SD and then computer and modify with Notepad++ or other advanced text editor (don't use notepad).

Is it possible to get to the ACC while when the phone is connected to a PC? I poked around and couldn't find it.

Thank you so much. Your instructions worked perfectly, and now I have Boomsound and HK Mod working on my Verizon M8. I see both in settings, and Boomsound is grayed out and always on if using the M8 speakers. When I plug in headphones the Boomsound setting becomes selectable and can be toggled On/Off. No Boomsound icon in the notification bar appears. Is that normal? Also, I saw Beats in the script. Can Beats also be activated or am I just being greedy. :o Thanks again.

[One (M8) Android Development] Sensor1:
on headphones definitely, sound is much clearer. on phone speaker it makes no difference to me.

i also set boomsound support to "false" in the "default.xml" as it interferes with the hk mod

Skipped the adsp on AT&T M8 running ElementalX Kernel from Flar2 (.10 w/ 192k 24 bit audio support) & ViperOne M8. Listening to a little Mingus on the way in this morning & I could definitely tell a difference with ClariFi. You may not notice it on every type of music, but on 192kbps 24 bit FLAC, Charlie was sounding extra clean & crisp. This was both via line-out/line-in & over bluetooth.

All items show up in the menu, though I had previously enabled the menu settings in the ACC xml file. I also get the status bar icon. No missing sound at all on mp3 or any other supported codec.
[One (M8) Android Development] Qwest905:
yes it's near the end of the .xml was able to change it and now the boomsound toggle is gone

I finally solved my problem with getting boomsound back. When I edited the default.xml file with root explorer and the built in text editor,

The file reset itself after reboot for some reason. I now used root browser (from google play) and did it in the same way and it worked like a charm.

Boomsound is back.

Does anybody know if it is harmful in any way to run boomsound and H/K audio (like clari.fi) at the same time?

When you plug headphones in, BoomSound will automatically turn off, but you can toggle it back on.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Gary, are you using CleanROM? What was your method of installation? Were you already running ART when you flashed the HK Mod?
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
Editing default xml only enabled or disables the settings. Is anybody actually hearing the sound change when switching both effects on and off (BoomSound and hk?) I'm not buying it. I think It's placebo. Would one of the devs please shed some light here? Do the hk libs replace BoomSound? Are they supposed to run side by side? To me it sounds about the same as it did with BoomSound before the hk mod but with the added hk effects (more or less. I don't have two devices to compare.) However, switching BoomSound on or off has no effect for me whatsoever. The hk effects work, no question.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
normally one of them only can work as some files which are used by boomsound will be changed so h/k can work...

[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yes okay with overwritten files that was not really right xD but as soon as h/k is flashed BoomSound so be disabled and MAYBE only working with speakers...even if you get back via editing the xml file the line to support BoomSound it won't make a difference in sound and after a while if you tick it it will turn off again

[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
Thank you. Every time I look at this thread, I see another 6 people claiming they have both and I just marvel at the fact that none of them realize that the BoomSound toggle isn't doing anything. Makes you wonder how they're benefiting from this, or any sound mod, at all.
[One (M8) Android Development] djakrse:
Yes, this sounds like the problem I'm having, except it does the same thing even with boomsound disabled. I think my software needs to be upgraded, but I don't know how to do that right now.

[One (M8) Android Development] buckifvr:
After reading your comment, I thought I'd listen critically. Since toggle only works with headphones, I put a pair on. Like you said, I did not notice any change in sound quality while toggling BoomSound on and off. Maybe with HK present, BoomSound is inactive but editing default.xml enables the toggle in Settings but not activate any actual sound processing. I think you are right.
[One (M8) Android Development] stovo06:
I'm sure this has been answered 20 times but I've read and read and I don't think I did this correctly.

I'm on Viper 1.6.0 (full wipe/clean flash) and just flashed the hk & adsp v3 zip and I got the hk settings but I don't notice any difference in the sound. I'm using Poweramp and I haven't tried any other music player yet (this is the only one I really use).

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] buckifvr:
I just re-disabled BoomSound, since it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
[One (M8) Android Development] cervantesjc:
So, I don't know if it has been answered, but if I flash a custom rom after flashing this, do I lose the mod?
[One (M8) Android Development] buckifvr:
Yes, I think you lose the mod unless it's built into the ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] Darkseth:
Yes, exactly this.

The Problem is: You flash H&K, so you might get a better Audio quality via Headphones.

But this disables BoomSound completely. You can edit a file and bring the toggle back, BUT no matter if you turn that on or off, it will NOT appear in the Notifications = its OFF.

BoomSound might be trash for headphones, but it really improves the richness of the External Speakers.

So either you have worse sound on speakers, but maybe slightly better sound on headphones, or vice versa.

Why can't you have both? Is there really no way to have H&K available for Headphones, and at the same time using a working "Boom Sound" for External Speakers??

Read the changelog for v3.
[One (M8) Android Development] djakrse:
As someone mentioned before, you could probably revert back when you need boomsound, then flash the mod again for H/K.

Given what I've seen, this should be quite possible with a flashable script to remove H/K files and either revert other H/K edits, or possibly, if reworking this mod to auto-backup affected files, then restoring backups.

[One (M8) Android Development] Darkseth:
Well, reflashing a few times a day is not an option... not even a workaround for me :/ I guess, i'll just stick to Boomsound, since H&K wont give me anything anyway...

Which headphones do you use? which Songs? Which format/quality have these songs?

Clear-Fi should "restore" the "loss" on audio files that comes from compressing too much, like mp3 files.

If you only use 320 kbit/s with a GOOD codec, or mostly Flac files... this should not help you anything.

Also, if you dont have good headphones (lets say beats, the original HTC ones, cheap 15 bucks inears), these will probably not be good enough to show the difference

Imagine you have an old Tube TV, and you try to see the difference between a 720p movie and a 1080p movie ;)

If I can find the time, I'll try to check an official sprint hk version at the retail store. See what happens with boomsound on one of those. If they have one on display, I'll check it out and report back
