Yeah I just seen it lol but I've seen others who say they have it on Tmo or ATT? I think..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Hmm... Looks like its working while playing music? But no setting menus to be found... Sound is bassy but lacks highs.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
Well that's a step forward 0.o lol hmm

EDIT: what rom are you on? I've read that stock based roms won't show the menu but like Viper or Insert Coin will
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Cleanrom... But I've just gone and turned it off and it sounds much better lol... So yeah, the zip isn't enough or it's just a lowsy effect

What's the advantage of this over viperaudio
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
I don't know the specifics to be honest, but Viper is like a user-customizable control panel whereas the Harman/Kardon audio drivers/eq/effects whatever you wanna call it, is custom made for our phone. I've never used the H/K mod/phone but knowing Harman/Kardon and their products, I'd definitely love to give this a try. I've heard others who have the phone say there's better dynamics to the sound and an improved soundstage and less noise, and coupled with a kernel which allows for 96khz/24bit audio, this could be awesome :)

Since you're posting in a Verizon forum, I'd like to assume you're using a VZW-branded phone. Is that a valid assumption? And are you using it on the Verizon voice and data network?

If yes to both, what process did you use to enable it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sgtmedeiros:
I'm using a Verizon device correct, I flashed the zip a few posts back and did as poster instructed. With viper audio it installs an updated audio driver. Maybe that's the key. I literally just flashed and it was there in settings

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Also using viper 1.5
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
1. Settings won't appear unless you're using a custom, non-stock based ROM like Viper or InsertCoin.

2. The mod SHOULD work for stock based Roms (like cleanrom) but there won't be any settings.

3. Some of what is in that zip (namely, default.xml) will bork our data. A good way around this is to backup your default.xml and place it back after flashing. Then edit the support_harman line to true.

4. I think the lousy sound I was experiencing earlier was due yo the livestage option, which other people are reporting makes it sound muddy. Without a settings menu, I don't think there is a way to disable or modify the setting.

5. Jury is still out on whether we simply need more libs and whatnot to get things working 100%.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BygSii:
So if it sounds worse than BoomSound, no Sense in going through all the work to enable it. Has anyone figured out how to create a custom settings.apk with the setting to allow us to just turn the features on or off? That's what I'm going to wait for. A button to disable the LiveStage.

Also, anyone have a video demonstrating the difference in sound?

I had an issue with music playing fine through Pandora but the music was muted through Google Music. I modified the firmware adsp zip with our model id so I could successfully fastboot flash zip. Everything is working now. Mcluvn in the bad seed rom thread has a zip with a modded settings apk
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
For those on Verizon you can download my edited .zip from my ROM thread and pull the firmware_adsp_update.zip from my .zip and flash via fastboot.

I also provide a stock .zip with a new firmware_adsp_update.zip with the stock adsp.img from the latest 1.55.605.2 firmware if you want to return to stock.

(I have tested both .zips and are confirmed working)

You can also find a stock Settings.apk in the .zip, only changes are I added appops into settings > security

Okay so this will only work with DEODEXED ROMS. I just deleted my settings.odex and voila it works.

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Also it seems as if livestage keeps re-enabling itself when I move to another track... Despite the logo not showing up in the status bar.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

More info: each time I phyiscally change tracks, it automatically enables Clari-fy AND livestage. Anyone else experiencing this behavior? I'm wondering if it's because I'm on an odexed rom, or something. I'm using HTC's built in music player.

This edit is what killed my data.

I'm on Viper.

Flashed the HP enable and rebooted. Had data but no HK in setting but still able to play music

Flashed the new adsp firmware via RUU and rebooted. No HK setting and now music won't play

Added one line to the default.xml, rebooted and no data. Tried again and again, no data. Luckily it was as simple as renaming the original default.xml that I saved and a reboot got my data back.

Don't ask me why but for me, it appears adding the one line into the default.xml broke my data on Viper 1.5.0

I'm not sure what's happening then, cause I'm also on the latest FW, viper 1.5.0, and flashed this and the adsp fw file and disabled boomsound and it's working. Showing in the menu and audio working out of speakers and headphones.

ALSO I updated the OP with more helpful info for people who wanna do this.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsminnis:
Do we need this adsp firmware or is the updated Verizon firmware good?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
So no one else is having issues with LiveStage re-enabling itself? LiveStage sounds like crap, but Clari-fy isn't too bad. Even so, Viper audio sounds wayyyy better.

Also, when I say re-enable itself, I mean you can clearly hear the effect has been re-enabled. It will still look unchecked in settings. Once you toggle it back on and off though you'll hear the difference.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
"Disable BoomSound" ? I may have missed this. Do I need to modify the default.xml to disable BoomSound?

I re-flashed 1.5.0 then the enable_hk.zip and this time it looks like it worked. Everything looks functional. I had previously successfully flashed the firmware_adsp_update.zip via RUU.

Nice to have it working. Thanks for trying to help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Napoleones:
The catch in this, of course, and it’s exactly what you would expect it to be: You’ll need to root your phone to install the new software, which means voiding your warranty and running the risk of bricking your phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
That happens to me too. Haven't tested too much on headphones but in my car I can TELL it reenables itself. It doesn't sound good enabled. I'm sure someone will have it figured out soon.

I saw in one of the threads about it someone said to disable BoomSound and yes it's in the default xml near the very bottom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Thanks.

I set the BoomSound to "false" in the default.xml and the BoomSound icon is gone from settings.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schwartz.matthew.e:
I can say that the flashable zip does not enable the setting option for me on stock vz m8. But as before, I can hear the difference :)

OK before I kick the tires on this, couple of quick questions.

ANy idea what happens when you get an OTA upgrade? Does it mess it up, can reinstalling fix it?

Is the sound better overall? Or just speakers or just headphones?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
I don't see anything about disabling boomsound in the directions (The How-to.txt right?) , how do i do this?

Open the default.xml from the enable_hk.zip and ge true to false on this line?

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

Or do you mean disabling it through the phone? Sorry I am not clear and I do not see the HK audio options after flashing the zip as per following the directions.

"3. You should now see the Harman MOD Option in Settings.apk Menu, but you now need the firmware in order for it to activate." Nope it is not there...Should I continue flashing the firmware update anyways or did something already go wrong? I'm on stock verizon only I have s-off root etc.

Now someone above said that the mod only works on deodexed roms yet it is called

"This is the Harman Kardon Conversion edited for Verizon HTC One M8 - BonestockROM" so that does not make sense either. Do I need to use a custom Rom for this mod to work? Do I just need to delete the .odex file for the settings.apk or do I NEED TO BE ON A CUSTOM ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
The link being used is mine. I made it for those running my custom ROM.

I did not make it specifically for this thread nor this MOD.

Also Boomsound doesn't have to be disabled does it? you can always just toggle it off anyway right?

It will however work for those on Verizon stock Odex or Deodexed.

If you are Deodexed then you are good to go, but if Odexed, then you need to delete the Settings.odex file.

The rest is included.

However here is a v2 witch includes more updates from the original thread for this MOD.

http://d-h.st/qJ3

Instructions aren't too hard. Download and then:

"1. Extract the HK-MOD-BonestockROM-v2.zip

2. Flash enable_hk.zip in recovery, reboot

3. You should now see the Harman MOD Option in Settings.apk Menu, but you now need the firmware in order for it to activate.

4. Flash the firmware_adsp_update.zip in fastboot (this assumes you know how to use fastboot, this guide doesn't explain this.)

5. Commands are:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware_adsp_update.zip

fastboot reboot

6. You are done, enjoy. you have a H/K Phone"
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
I'm looking for a link that will tell me how to use fastboot, this is my first HTC phone so I have no idea what that means. I do have the android SDK installed though. I found this thread and it says it works on all version, so I guess that would also mean the odexed versions?

I tried following this thread as well which uses different files:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737498

I just installed them from recovery because it didn't specify I had to use fastboot. However I have no idea if I have a HK phone now or not... I do have a HK audio menu option in the settings menu but the only options are Clari-Fi, and LiveStage.

So now, with no headphones plugged in:

Playing out of the phone speakers, BoomSound is automatically enabled (or so it shows) but I can also still toggle the Clari-Fi on or off (I cannot however tell any difference).

With headphones plugged in I can toggle boomsound on or off but there is 0 difference (I mean nothing at all so maybe it's not working), I can also still toggle Clari-Fi on or off and notice a slight difference in highs when playing mp3's. That is all I can tell.

So do I have a HK phone now or not? Is there a way to toggle between boomsound and HK properly?

I'm super frustrated at this point and feeling rather stupid as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
How do i delete the settings.odex file. i'm browsing to it with ES, but it keeps telling me deleting the file failed?............Nevermind, figured it out. Does Boomsound need to be disabled, or can it just stay in the on position, and still have the HK effects
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Pauls57:
Don't worry about boomsound, you can leave that as it stands. That applies mostly to the internal speakers or wired headphones. The HK mod works with a Bluetooth connection as well. Andy's instuctions will work perfectly. Just read and follow them carefully. You should be able tobsearch for the settings.odex with any file explorer, maybe just rename it in case you want to go back for any reason

<item type="boolean" name="support_harman">true</item>
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
In addition to deleting the settings odex file, copy/paste/set permissions manually the included settings.apk in the zip.

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------

This is how it worked for me as well. As far as I can tell, boomsound is not an option on the HK phone so it might as well be disabled as I'm thinking the two were not designed to be used together. As for clarify, yeah it seems to enhance the highs as those are usually the first thing to get compressed... So that makes me think its working as intended aside from the settings not sticking.

It sounds okay, but it's honestly not worth all the hubbub. I am just using the new firmware with HK off and BoomSound off (boomsound may not even work at all with the FW update) with Viper Audio mod and things sound great.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
I was able to get it working on cleanrom but the settings wouldn't stick. This made it worthless as LiveStage sounds awful.

The mod was developed for deodexed roms so this might have something to do with it. Deleting settings.odex in system/app may get it working but it really isn't worth it.

Not sureif its related to this as browsers will work on their own but clicking a link in my k9 mail will bring the browser up but the page wont load on the browser. Going to try a different rom, this was on viperone 1.6

I tried flashing another rom and apparently the flash for this audio has to be done over with each rom flash. I"am glad its gone off my phone because it had my data messed up and I couldnt bring up web pages from emails and it was multiple email apps so it had to be this flash that caused it.

I like this feature as I had it working on my at&t m8 before switching to verizon but its not worth it when it affects my data like this. And I used the zip that had the direction in it and the flash for this and the firmware update also.

Maybe someone can make a fix ?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
AP == Access Point, from what I see in your previous comments yours is a router (Livebox Inventel).

MAC == A unique identifier of every network device (similar to IMEI in phones), it consists of 6 hex octets, one example could be: 12:34:56:78:90:AB

So, what I say is that your Livevox Inventel has a "protection" so it only allows to connect known MACs, and the MAC address of your TyTN wifi card is "unknown" for your wifi router, you have to enter the administration console of the router and add the MAC address of your TyTN to the list, or remove the MAC protection.

Hope it is clear now :)

Hi,

Well, I know that this is na old phone, but let's try to fix...

I have a Samsung SGH-T589 (Gravity Smart), originally from T-Mobile, but now unlocked. Since I'm in Brazil, tha 3G connection doesn't work. After some (and for some I mean months) time of research, I figured out that T-Mobile Works on a diferent 3G frequency than brazilian ops. But, I've also figured out that maybe (and just maybe) could be possible fix this by flashing the SGH-T589W (Gravity Smart/Galaxy Q) or SGH-T589R firmware on this phone. There were no problems related until now... but I'm having trouble to find this firmware. Tryied Samfirmware, Sampro, and many others...

Anyone have this file or I should just retire this phone once and forever?

Thanks everyone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Well, it wouldn't be helped by the t589W because that also uses the weird 1700/2100 AWS bands for 3G service. The R would be the way to go, if it were possible, but even if it did flash successfully, the phone still has a hardware limitation where it just doesn't support other bands, despite what radio/modem you could install.

If you wanna try though, just for the heck of it (at your OWN risk - I do not think this will work. Not likely to hard brick it, but will probably need to restock with the correct firmware if it fails):

http://www.bergfiles.com/i/bf38cacda3hci0#

And you'll want the official firmware flashing Odin version for the phone, because for some reason it doesn't work with the regular Odin ones:
