What about this method

[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
I'm not an audiophile by any means, (I dont have the ears of those hardcore audiophiles). I've been using PowerAmp for an hour in the gym & VERY happy with it for years.

Recently, I've read so much good stuff about Viper4Android & decided to give it a try again (I failed to install v4a on previous android devices).

We have 3 phones in the house: Samsung Note N7000, 2 HTC m8's.

So I decided to make the N7000 a guinea pig. & after successfully installing v4a & coupling it with PowerAmp on the n7000, I cannot believe it to my ears. It sounds BETTER than my m8 does. My wife is also somewhat agrees.

So, my m8 was next. We compared the 2 m8's & mine sounded better than her.

Needless to say, her m8 now has v4a too.

Damm...now i can't wait to go to the gym so I can listen to my music.

If anyone is on the fence of installing v4a, DO IT !!!
[One (M8) General] @home:
I wouldn't say wow.

Different yes better meh not really....But not wow.
[One (M8) General] altimax98:
Actually it is WOW if you have the proper .irs and setup for the EQ.
[One (M8) General] @home:
Irs?
[One (M8) General] Maedhros:
Mind sharing your set up in this thread?

I've tried out a few and never really noticed a difference.
[One (M8) General] Spoofy:
I love it on my M7, beats beats haha!

I just got my M8 and am wondering if Harman/kardon is better than vfx, has anyone compared?

Thanks

I use the Clarity setup found in the Viper thread but I use the device setup for my Headphones.

The key is finding the Sony Xperia IRS which you have to pay for. There are other methods of obtaining it but I can't share them. Once you have that piece the audio is 100x better.
[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
To me (personally) the WoW factor of v4a is:

1. Enable Viper-DDC

2. Listening Device: Pick the right earphones/headset from the list & you physically have them.

3. Matching irs with your earphones/headsets.

EDIT: Under Convolver (Menu > UI Setting > Moderate or Expert) > tab on Impulse Response & ViPER4Android/Kernel folder will be created by the app)

(download & put the irs into /storage/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel folder.

4. Follow below steps:

Open up v4a app in your app draw > Menu > UI Setting > Expert > follow this instruction
[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
You mean this ??
[One (M8) General] Chaos5429:
Hm... I cannot seem to locate the /ViPER4Android/Kernel folder within the legacy folder. In fact, using es filer explorer, searching anything viper nets me zero result... Is there something I'm doing wrong?
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
Would you be able to do a big favor and upload your profile so we can use it? I'm having a hard time copying the clarity set-up. Thanks!
[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
Open up v4a app > slide to the right to access Headset > hit the 3 dot Menu > UI Setting > Moderate or Expert > tab on Impulse Response & ViPER4Android/Kernel folder will be created by the app)

(download & put the irs into /storage/emulated *or 0*/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel folder.
[One (M8) General] Chaos5429:
Oh! It created the folder as instructed. Thank you so much, I'm going to try out the irs set ups and see what's it all about. :D
[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
Ok, i'm not sure where you're stuck at. But here is step by step how to install v4a app from my other post.

For the profile:

1. Open up v4a app from your app draw. You should be in Phone Speaker setup. Swipe to the right to access Headset (swipe to the left is to access Bluetooth Device)

2. Once you're under Headset Tab > Hit the 3 dot Menu on top right > UI Setting > Expert.

1. Master Power: enable

2. Viper DDC: enable

Listening Device: choose yours. mine is Beats by Dr. Dre - urbeats (I actually have them).

3. FIR Equalizer: enable

- Preset: Acoustic

4. Convolver: enable.

- Impulse Response (Tab on it, the app will create ViPER4Android/Kernel folder for you)

Download the irs samples & put them in ViPER4Android/Kernel folder.

Some irs samples can be found here & The Sony Xperia sound enhancement can be found here

My selection for Impulse Response is TRacks DeEssed Master 2

5. Headphone Surround +: enable

- Effect Quality: Level 1

6. Dynamic System: enable

- Listening Device: High-end Headphone(v1) (I also have an actual headphone)

- Dynamic Bass: 24 Percent

7. Fidelity Control

- ViPER Bass: enable

- Bass Mode: Natural bass

- Bass Frequency: 60 Hz

- Select Bass Boost: 6.0 dB

- ViPER Clarity: enable

- Clarity Mode: XHiFi

- Select Clarity: 8.0 dB

8. Master Gate(Limiter)

- Ouput Gain: -6.0 dB

- Channel Pan: 0.5:0.5

- Limit Threshold: 0dB

that's it. You can just back out or hit that 3dot Menu & save Effect profile.

Lemme know the result.
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
The thing is, I changed settings previously and I don't know how to get back to default.
[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
The default is actually nothing selected & you can't tell the difference if v4a is installed or not.

If you use PowerAmp like me & want to go back to default, just uninstall v4a (there's the instruction in the thread), & go back to PowerAmp > 3dot Menu > Settings > Audio > Advance Tweaks > Direct Volume Control - enable. Done.
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:

Could you share where to get Urei 1178 impulse please?
[One (M8) General] PhoenixPath:
Totally agree on the WoW factor...avoided it for ages, just installed it on my M8 today, enabled expert and played around. Grabbed an IRS and played with the clarity, bass and so-on...damn.

The sound is incredible using my cheap-o LG BT in-ear headphones. Cannot wait to hear this on my car stereo system plugged directly in.
[One (M8) General] @home:
What's the IRS you mention & how do you get it

I'm currently using one called Sony Xperia REV2 ClearAudio that I located through Google Search. There are tons of them here though: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2216193

Copy the IRS file to internal storage\Viper4Android\Kernel\ and it'll be selectable when you enable expert.

[One (M8) General] eikast:
Again, thank you all so much. The ROM I was using had this and at first was disappointed at no HK but wow. After setting this up, my headphones are now being worth the price ($200) Yamaha pro 500.

I have follwed your link & installed the viper android XHIFI and downloadedthe starter pack....How do I install all the irs files?

[One (M8) General] GermanGuy:
As the post stated that you referenced "Copy the IRS files to internal storage\Viper4Android\Kernel\ and it'll be selectable when you enable expert". You have to select expert UI in settings. Then there will be a new option for you to select Any of your IRS files that you preveiously copied over to your device.
[One (M8) General] @home:
Do I have to be on a viper Rom for this to work, cause I am not seeing the storage\viper4android\kernel folder anywhere.

I'm on Maximus rom atm

Ta
[One (M8) General] GermanGuy:
Nope. Viper4Android and Viper ROM have noting to do with each other. If you have installed Viper4Android, the folder is there. It is in the internal storage, not sd card.
[One (M8) General] JohnM109R:
Holy crap is there a step by step with links to these files are scattered everywhere...

Please
[One (M8) General] deeznuts:
BoomSound i thought was pretty good. I just flashed the HK mod and honestly don't notice much difference through external dual speakers on highest volume setting. So viper mod and HK mods both will work together?

If so, what is the best settings for BT audio and wired headsets?

I mainly listen to Hip Hop, classic rock, and Metallica.

Thanks
[One (M8) General] Xdpker06:
Installed it, tried it. Tried all the different settings and IRS. It sound tinny to me, not as warm as the stock sound to me. I didn't notice any improvement in clarity either.

No problem let me know how it goes you may even adjust it according to your ears but hopefully I provided you with a good starting point
[One (M8) General] mchief298:
So, at first I thought Viper didn't do much.. That's because I didn't think about the the different types of settings and IRS. Now that I've got everything configured... I'm actually impressed by the rise in quality oo
[One (M8) General] Xdpker06:
Where can I find the Z edition IRS? The earlier link was to the regular ones.
[One (M8) General] xxsoulxx:
Try the normal or Z-Edition IRS from Creative : Creative X-Fi Only Crystalizer 10 + Bass Boost.irs. Combined best with boom sound (not H/K) try it out guys !! Its the best sound quality with this IRS in my opinion, i tried them all. ;)
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
Its in the android software development section there is free ones and also you can purchase the really good ones worth the couple of dollars IMHO here is the link to the thread

[One (M8) General] Xdpker06:
Oh I see. I don't mind shelling out a couple bucks for this, but I used his free IRSs and was not that impressed. Wondering if the paid one's are that much better.
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
Which ones did you try? Also tweaking the app just right helps combined with an IRS. I personally have purchased the HTC beats, Sony, Creative X-fi and Apple ipod Z-Editions. All depends on what device and Earbuds or Headphones you are using I personally like the Creative acoustic and Creative Rock and Creative Pop also Htc beats, on my Nexus 5 the Sony clear+ Audio was the shiznit. I'm using the stock earbuds that came with the M8
[One (M8) General] metalspring:
I've been using Viper4Android on 2 devices now (galaxy nexus and now the m8 hk edition), and the difference is all the profile you set up. Just installing it doesnt do much, and which profile you like is all personal taste. Like I personally like a decent amount of bass with a nice surround effect (makes it seem like you arent even listening to headphones).

Here is my headphone profile for the m8 if anyone is interested (ignore the other profiles there since they dont have anything, viper just saves profiles for headphones, speaker and bluetooth all at once).

http://www.mediafire.com/view/b8jn59cju3hxkfw/com.vipercn.viper4android_v2.headset.xml

IRS used-

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/vxor1qkxd0t46dp/Dolby_Pro_Logic_II_1.irs

Instructions-

install viper4android (obviously)

Choose super audio quality

Set UI to expert mode

Create ViPER4Android folder on sdcard/internal storage

Create 2 folders in the ViPER4Android folder named Kernel and Profile

Create a folder named clear_surround in the Profile folder and put the com.vipercn.viper4android_v2.headset.xml file in it

Put Dolby_Pro_Logic_II_1.irs in the Kernel folder

Open viper4android and load effect profile clear_surround

Play music and profit :)

[One (M8) General] KinetiClutch:
Tried it and found too much bass on the IRS i used which ever settings.

Especially bad when using Bluetooth in the car as the bass overpowers the speakers to the point where its not even bass.
[One (M8) General] YEK1907:
let's try :)
[One (M8) General] goodtimes50:
I had the same experience. I think the IRS stuff is really aimed more at headphones.
[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
You need to swipe the screen to the right to access Bluetooth Device tab. Find a profile for your need here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2324454

for bass, you can try: enable Viper Bass

Bass mode: Pure Bass+

Bass frequency: minimum

Bass boost: 3.5 db

& work up the frequency & boost to your liking.

select & de-select Fire equalizing (deep) see if that makes any difference to your liking.
[One (M8) General] goodtimes50:
I've tried probably 30 IRS files and played with all the settings. The Convolver just seems to push the gain too high for the car speakers to handle (I've got pretty decent equipment, far from stock). I'm not sure if the dynamic range is too high for non-earphone speakers or what, but there just isn't a combination of settings that sounds better than without it.

[Paranoid Android Features Development] Rapier:
Some of you may remember this from Android 4.3, some might not even know it exists, on some devices is included in stock ROM (as I know Samsung devices and Sony devices have it...lucky them)

On short, there was an option in dialer settings labeled "Network event notification" that showed when you were receiving a diverted call (shown as "INCOMING CALL (FORWARDED)" instead of just "INCOMING CALL") or it showed when you call somebody and that person is already engaged in a call (shown as "DIALING (WAITING...)" instead of just "DIALING")

This information was nicely integrated within the AOSP in-call UI and was shown on that blue bar that is showing up until call is answered.

There are some hypothetical scenarios to use that, one being the case in which you have two phones/numbers and one is "personal/private" and the second is a "business" one. Say after working hours you will divert the "business" number to your "private" one just not to miss an eventually important call from office or a client. If you receive a call but this function is not in, you cannot tell if the call you're receiving is from a person that dialed your personal number or is someone calling on your work one. If we have back this option we can easily see that while phone is ringing and decide if we take the call or not.

Also when we call someone it's useful to see that the other party is engaged in a call already so we wont keep ringing and eventually get frustrated when the one we're calling is not answering (being in a call, most people do not reject an incoming second call, they just let it ring). We could easily see from first seconds that our call is "waiting" and we could hang up and try again later.

So if it is possible I would like to kindly ask for adding back this feature that we miss since KitKat is out. In the early KitKat builds there was even the option present in the dialer settings (ported from the previous Android version) but it never worked. Eventually in some ROMs it was event taken out, probably the devs considered it either useless or they didn't want to bother with it. Currently there is no KitKat ROM having this function working as far as I know (except if it was included in a stock ROM by the device manufacturer)

Thank you, hoping for a positive feedback...

Here's the tutorial to make the statusbar gradient by [MENTION=5528622]ndzaky[/MENTION]

After you decompile, go to SystemUI\res\layout and open status_bar.xml using Notepad++ and find this line

android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background"

and change to this

android:background="@drawable/gradient_bg"

now go to SystemUI\res\drawable and make new xml : gradient_bg.xml

and copy this code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#00000000" android:endColor="#99000000" android:angle="90.0" />
</shape>

Save,Compile, and done.. You got gradient status bar ;)
