I flashed this last night and everything is working as it should.

Running ViperOne 1.6.0 w/stock kernel (no other mods or themes).

To my ears, through the speakers, it is louder and fuller sounding.... Not necessarily more hi-fi sounding, but just more of what was there with a little more "kick" to it. I haven't had a chance to try it through headphones or my car stereo yet.

Over-all, I was worried about flashing this because I'm really picky about the way my phone speakers sound (I use them quite a bit for music). I'm not disappointed and didn't lose any volume (actually seems louder). I like this better than some of the other sound mods out there, but I actually liked Beats (from my old M7) the best and this isn't quite as hi-fi as Beats Audio, but still better than stock IMO.
[One (M8) Android Development] adamlee011:
make sure you've installed the adsp firmware and if using power amp, turn off direct volume control

This replaces BoomSound. You can boost the volume with v4a
[One (M8) Android Development] Alaris:
Can you still get updates with this mod?
[One (M8) Android Development] jlevy73:
I don't think so. To apply OTA none of the /system apps can be changed or removed. This mod makes changes to /system so it probably fail to install.
[One (M8) Android Development] tele_jas:
Just an update for those curious on "how it sounds".

Through the phone speakers, it's "thicker" sounding with a just a little more top end sizzle. I didn't notice any volume drop.

Through my car stereo, where I use it a lot... With Live Stage enabled, it really rounds out the sound and makes everything sound better....Except one of my favorite bands, their guitars are really mid-heavy and this accents the guitars almost too much. But for EVERYTHING else, it sounds amazing! Without the "Live Stage", it doesn't sound as good and has too much treble.

FYI: The "Live Stage" adds some low-mids and some clarity to the top end, while smoothing out the harshness. More of a warming effect.

Through the stock HTC earbuds is where it suffers just a little.... There is a low-end loss and the mid-range and top end is more prominent. But these earbuds aren't the best sounding earbuds IMO.

Through my Beats headphones, it sounds more "well rounded" and everything sounds really pretty good. Once again, the "Live Stage" makes everything sound just a little better.

Over-all, there isn't as much low end and/or clarity as I found my HTC One M7 with Beats audio enabled to have. But I do like it better than the stock sounds.

[One (M8) Android Development] Doughnut:
This is sooo good I just had to post again.

To be fair, lower end and top end does indeed seem a bit flatter, but the mid range punch and warmth (which I'm a massive fan of) is awesome.

I tried a pair of Soundmagics on my M8...an amazing difference, bearing in mind the sound magics only cost 30 I was shocked.

I had a pair of Shure EC3s which died in a vacuum cleaner... Any who, I'm so impressed with the M8 sound now I think its time to invest in some decent in-ears. Revisited an old hobby of listening to nice clear, crisp music...

A massive thanks to the op!
[One (M8) Android Development] Andrewtst:
Finally my HTC ONE (M8) running HARMAN/KARDON Audio. Awesome! :D

This Harman/Kardon Audio is running fine at stock ROM. (I am root and S-Off).

Pros:

More preset for headset instead of original BoomSound where no preset at all.

I use Harman/Kardon NC preset which sound stunning with bundle headset. Deeper bass with clear clarity vocal. Awesome!

Cons :

The loudspeaker sound is slightly higher treble than BoomSound.
[One (M8) Android Development] jcorv58:
Sounds nice with headphones and in car but the speaker output is terrible, been trying to setup a tasker profile to only enable this when headphones are plugged in but can't find a faster way than using dpad controls, anyone know how to setup faster way to enable either through tasker or homescreen shortcut which I can't find either?
[One (M8) Android Development] Andrewtst:
Back to BoomSound as the Harman/Kardon loudspeaker sound suck! Too treble and hissing sound.

I want back my awesome loudspeaker. BoomSound better. :)

[One (M8) Android Development] TH3 ST1G:
Not sure what I did wrong but... I followed the instructions in the OP's link and I didn't get the setting to show up in the settings app.

I edited the xml file to reflect "true" and it still didn't work.

Then I flashed the verizon fix and now my settings app closes immediately. Won't load at all...

I'm on Clean Rom 1.1
[One (M8) Android Development] ATXiceman512:
How did you exit the xml file? I can't find the file.

UPDATE: I found the file in the Zip, How do I alter it with the ROM already loaded?
[One (M8) Android Development] TH3 ST1G:
I used root Explorer to edit the xml...

Go to the root of the device, navigate to

/system/customize/ACC and the default.xml file should be the only one you see... Root Explorer will ask if you want to reload with read/write permissions, say yes. The line to edit is a little more than half way down change the false to true and save, root Explorer will automatically make a backup of the original.

I figured it out... I was using ART on cleanrom, Harmon kardon is not compatible. I switched back to dalvik and all is well on my Verizon m8...

Thread closed. I need to take this thread on a trip to the cleaners.

Edit: Thread reopened.

Let me clarify Rule 16 (the anti-bumping rule) for all the lawyer wannabes out there. Rule 16 was instituted to stop people from repeatedly bumping their favorite thread to the top of the list even when there were no new posts or had no new information. It's annoying as a member to see a thread you follow seem to have new information multiple times daily only to see BUMP each time (it's also why OT conversations are discouraged). Equally annoying is when actively developed ROMs are pushed down the list and off the first page due to inactive threads being bumped.

I can understand bumping your own question if it has gotten lost in the conversation. However, if your question is just a few hours old and the last post, it hasn't been lost and most likely hasn't been answered because those who have seen it have no clue. You should let it mellow to give the person who knows the answer a chance to see it.

Assuming this is the end of it, everyone only gets a wag of the finger (Stephen Colbert reference). Good day sir!

One other question...If I were to remove this mod, would it be better to just use the normal removal zip and not the one with adsp driver? I mean, having an up to date sound driver can't be a bad thing to have, with or without this mod, right?
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
if you are s-on the zips with adsp won't be flashed...if you are s-off then I think it's better to use the zip without removing the adsp firmware...but you should try...if you get with one some problems flash the other one

[One (M8) Android Development] vWvSTATICvWv:
I'm on T-Mobile with S-Off. I flashed the one made for Viper 1.6.0 back on page 69 and that still didn't work. I had to manually add the harman line into the xml and reboot.

As far as the sound, I can tell it's louder while using Spotify but on certain songs it can sound tinny. I found that turning Clari-Fi off fixed this. I haven't tested with my Beats headphones yet. Thanks for your help.
[One (M8) Android Development] tele_jas:
I found the same thing... I really liked it at first, but as time went by and I tried it with more earbuds or headphones, the HK mod sounded too shrill and thin. The live stage (or live sound, what ever it's called) increased the lower mid-range.....Sounded good with pop and country music, but burried the vocals in hard rock music.

I eventually went back to the stock Boomsound after trying this and a few other "Sound" mods. BUT - I do think everyone should try this mod, you may like it?? My ears are probably just dead from 20 + years of playing loud guitar amps in bands. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] otariq:
Does anyone know what the actual live stage settings do? I just got my beoplay h3 in-ear headphones today and am trying to find the best settings for it. The first setting seems to be more bass centered from what I've picked up.
[One (M8) Android Development] diddle09:
What should i do if i want to show my boomsound option? Together with hk ? Anyone pls
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
enable it in default.xml file...but only h/k will work if you flashed that...if you flash the " go back to BoomSound" zip only BoomSound will work xD so the option if you want to enable won't do anything...it's just like a placeholder

[One (M8) Android Development] TwinCalibre:
Been using this mod for the last couple of days, and I do like really it. However, I think I have found a bug, not sure if anyone else has this problem!

I mostly listen to flac, and when I swap to the few albums I have the are mp3, I found the sound to be really tinny and thin, I found that if I turned live stage on and off, it completely changed the sound, its like live stage automatically turned on when going from flac to mp3. Has anyone else come accross this?

It is a pain to have to keep doing this, so I might go back to stock for now!
[One (M8) Android Development] JLintheTL619:

I can't get it to work.

I flash the zip and then flash the verizon hK fix and nothing happens.

HK does not appear in Settings and Boomsound gets disappeared.

There isn't a line for support_harman in the text editor.

I am really sorry but it doesn't work.

I'm using Viper One.

What am I doing wrong?

Try inputting the line from the OP manually in your XML then save it. Make sure it looks exactly like it does in the OP. That's what I had to do on Viper Rom T-Mo

Flash the Beats mod, then flash the hk mod, then flash the Verizon fix. Search and you'll find the link to the Beats zip file. Guaranteed to work on Verizon variant. I also strongly recommend installing the viper4android fx to go with the hk mod ?

Like I said beats doesn't work with m8 ...the zip just enables a line in the default.XML file so that we can see the icon in settings but we can't use beats as the libs etc are missing and too old... Its not even really a mod, but yes for it wokred when I installed project era soundmod by zeroinfinity and flashes then h/k especially after he gavevsupport for h/k compatibility...

But h/k isn't that good for me...sometimes some songs are really great but some are just too shrill without that much bass like with boomsound
[One (M8) Android Development] JLintheTL619:
Sorry I wasn't being clear. I meant it flashes fine and the beats logo will appear in the settings. You are correct about the missing lib files.

Guys, correvt me if I'm wrong but the highlighted line should be like above?

I mean harman>true. Right?

If yes, there is no such line in the .xml file.

In which line it should be? Which row?

I used 920 Text Editor and there are numbers in front of the lines that make it easier to find the right one.

You mean to input harman>true or the whole text from the OP?

And where exactly should I input it?

Anywhere in the text?

Not in a specific row or something?

Different taste. Different setups. Different ranges of hearing. Different post amplification and speakers etc.

I actually prefer boomsound to all other audio setups on this device with h/k bring a VERY close second.

H/K headset preset gone each song

Hello!

First of all, excuse me for my bad English! :/

I installed the H/K mod and it works great, but I noted that I have to select my LiveStage preset (Harman kardon NC) each time a new song starts. Really, when I go again to live stage presets, the Harman kardon NC headset is still selected, but the quality sound is noticeable different until I select another preset and select my favourite NC headset preset again.

Do this happen to you? Is there any workaround about this?

Thanks in advance,

Ignacio.
