Flashing pre-release revision 9 test 2 "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" massage show
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Ok. Seems like I'll need to remake R9 based on R5 with most tweaks from R8. Thank you for the reports of lake pre-R9 :)
[Android Software Development] rimsilva:
I prefer HXR SonicPhantom PureBalance+ Professional Studio, have more voice clarity.

Can't find this IRS file, can you share?
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
I prefer SRS Audio HD on speaker and SBX Pro Studio on headphones.. They perfectly fits with other V4A settings :)
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I am currently using Studio Master FX. It sounds a little better than SBX Pro Studio and much better than SRS Audio HD.
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
Speaker: with bit tweaking it's actually really better

Headphones: not that good :D it really depends on them, because Studio Master FX sounds too much clarify and Studio Master Pro too deep.. SBX sits perfectly ( Sony MDR-ZX300
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I have four audio mods on my phone that makes a huge difference in how these files sound.
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
Names please? I have some too, but still curious :)
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Pon-3

Elements Of Fidelity

Extreme Beats Studio

Viper4android

I am also using viper DDC for my headphones the hesh 2.
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
Same mods here :D Just one question.. Which build of Pon-3 do you have? Latest one (build5 I think) gives me no sound with Elements of Fidelity R8
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I have the latest pon 3 mod I never had any problems with it. The latest one has Harmon Kardon core lib file that was compatible with other devices.
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
So it's on my side.. I will try to flash all mods on clean system and try.. Thanks ;)

Edit: flashed all over and I can suddenly hear the difference! Everything is louder and clearer too
[Android Software Development] 2545:
So you have all these mods installed on your device? It doesn't conflict with one another? I only know about Viper4Android. I never knew others existed really or didn't know exactly what they did. Is one better suited over the others?
[Android Software Development] 2545:
Thanks everyone!

I downloaded the following IRS and compared it with some of the genre I typically listen to.

SBX Pro Studio (SBX Bass_SBX Crystalizer_SBX Dialog Plus)

XHR SonicPhantomCrystalSound

XHR SonicPhantom PureBalance Professional Studio

XHR StudioMaster FX

XHR StudioMaster HD

Vary biased opnion but it was a toss between XHR SonicPhantom PureBalance Professional Studio and XHR StudioMaster FX. In the end, I chose XHR StudioMaster FX as it offered uncompromising sound clarity and headphone separation. I could hear every single details in voice and instruments. Slightly lacking in bass but it was easily adjusted using dynamic bass. Thanks again!
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
1. Doesn't it conflict with one another?

2. Is one better suited over the others?

The mods just add lib files which is the reason why they all worked well together. You shouldn't be surprise as it has been mentioned throughout this thread. Also you seem oblivious to the fact that the very thread you're posting has an audio mod that works with viper4android. It is also one of the mods that I use.

The second question is the wrong question to ask because if one was better suited over the others then there's no point of combining the mods. Think about it if one was better suited over the others then I would use the best of the bunch. Your common sense should have kicked in because if a person is using multiple audio mods I would asked questions relating to audio quality, battery life, device compatibility, installation process etc. I would not ask the same question you did as it is blatantly obvious that the person is trying to accomplished something else by using multiple audio mods.
[Android Software Development] marcran75:
What rom are you running. I'm running TW 4.4.2 with V4A, Pon3 and Xtreme Beats Studio but every time I try to install Elements of Fidelity my phone goes haywire.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I don't have the same phone as you so I won't be much help on that end.
[Android Software Development] DCOCH13:
If I'm not mistaking at one time you were using acid audio as well. Can I ask why you decided to stop using it ? I tried it and for me it made the highs a little too loud. Was just curious as to why you don't use it anymore.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
There wasn't much of an improvement when using it
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Sorry guys. But the new release of the mod might be delayed becoz I don't have had much free time lately. So, please be patient if you're waiting for the next revision. Sorry once again :)
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Looks like XHR CrystalSonic is missing from Google Drive. I'll reupload it later :)
[Android Software Development] sjknight413:
Your IRS' seem to result in an awful lot of clipping, even with gain reduced and no other effects active.

I've also seen a lot of good reviews of your XHR StudioMaster FX IRS but, on my device at least, it sounds awful! (no offence intended) The only bearable IRS of yours i have found is the XHR SonicPhantom PureBalance+ Vibrant Clarity IRS, and it does sound quite good. but even then there is so much clipping.

Am i missing something or do i have a different idea of how music should sound?
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
Try to use before mentioned mods too, they gives you better audio quality and even other irs files will sound better..
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
You are missing something. Most of us have other mods besides viper4android on our phones. Each mod has a different set of sound files from various audio based technologies. With the mods I use you get the following:

-Dolby Mobile

- Dolby Digital Plus

- Dirac HD

- Waves MaxxAudio

- Sony xLOUD Experience

- Beats Audio

- SRS TruMedia

- BBE SonicMax

- SRS & MAXV

- DTS

- Pon-3 custom lib file

- Viper4android custom lib file

- PureAudio custom lib files

- Awesome Beats(modified Beats)

- Modified Xloud

I will also add that custom kernels can cause clipping and audio distortion depending on the setup. Also headphones have limitations of what high frequency can be heard. Example the Hesh 2 max frequency is 20 kHz which for the most part is the average for headphones. Anything lower than that clipping will occur.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
If your using EOF r8 that might be the issue try r7 or r4 they seem to work best for most you may need to reflash your rom
[Android Software Development] MetalOllie:
I've installed Pon3 V4, ExtremeBeats Studio, and have Viper moved to system and it all sounds fantastic. My only problem is that after flashing the mods, it takes an eternity for my ringtone to kick in when I get a call, if it kicks in at all. I've set a line in build.prop to set the delay to 0, but it doesn't make any difference. I've had this problem on every ROM I've tried, with the exception of CM11 or PA, but I don't really want to use either of those as the limitations on the camera annoy me! :eek:

Any idea how I can get my phone to actually RING when it's meant to, not 5 milliseconds before it goes to answerphone?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Every audio enhancement will result in clipping if there's no dynamic volume limiter and if you turn the volume to max. There's no "magic" to prevent the clipping with IRS as they're only static files. Try to use the limiter function in V4A. You might want to install some sound mods too, as said by [MENTION=5014976]jmxc23[/MENTION] :)
[Android Software Development] Vino Kulafu:
Currently using the XHR SonicPhantom PureBalance+ Vibrant Clarity for headphones and loving it. Definitely an improvement over the SRS Audio HD that I've gotten to like and use for a long while.

:D
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
R9 is up with some optimizations and tweaks :)

Please test and report :)

TouchWiz version will be released later. I don't have much time these days. Sorry :(

In that case, I "MIGHT" let other soundmod devs to continue the mod
[Android Software Development] leo.riv:
Flashing R9 experimental

Woo Amazing sound Thanks
[Android Software Development] sjknight413:
I've tried every limiting function in v4a and yet still the vocals clip constantly. My headphones have a high frequency limit of 24000khz too so it can't be going above my headphones tolerance.

I really don't want to install more than v4a as installing as many sound mods as you all have is just ridiculous! Why have so many audio effects running at once? Surely it all conflicts and muddies up your audio?
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Not at all the audio with said mods is amazing they are mostly only libs taken from various devices
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
Actually, all mods have some libraries that make sound different.. I have too headphones with 24000 khz frequency and clipping is occurred only with one v4a feature enabled.. Are you sure you haven't enabled spectrum extension?
[Android Software Development] Spunjah413:
Fantastic IRS!
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Spectrum does make the music misbehave best not to use it imh
[Android Software Development] sjknight413:
Nope, spectrum extension is the first I disabled as that's the obvious one that would cause clipping. Like I said with just the IRS active and no other features enabled it still clips. It's not just a few tracks either it's literally every song I listen to. Guess I'm just going to have to give up on this one.
[Android Software Development] roulley:
Same with me, I use the equalizer to reduce the clipping, and the tube simulation

[Android Software Development] DNA_Uncut:
R9 is amazing, thank you Vinardo ☺
[Android Software Development] 2545:
Anyone successful flashing R9 on note 2? I'm on DN3 ROM. Or do I need to wait for TouchWiz?
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Ok, if you don't want sound mods or IRS, fine. But, every person has different taste and opinions, while their devices are different too. It's your choice as I'm not forcing you to use anything I've made. Honestly, I don't have the problem you're experiencing, so it might be on your side or I have damaged hearing. Ok, my comment ends here. I don't want to provoke a war :angel:

Once again, all my IRS here are completely FREE. It's your choice for having them or not
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
I'm working on R9 TW version
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Ok, revision 9 for TouchWiz uploaded :)
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Then don't use any sound mods if you are having trouble with the audio. Personally I would not added any soundmods(viper including) if I was having trouble. You have trouble with clipping then uninstall the app. If you still have trouble with clipping then it wasn't v4a but your ROM. Believe it or not but there are people with your phone and different variations of elemental kernel and had zero clipping. All are using different ROMs and have removed DSP manager. Hell some even have CM11 installed like you did.

You are lacking some knowledge on how these mods work as the ones that i tested just add lib files. If any had a DSP manager then you remove all but the one you are using. Also these lib files work on different aspects of audio so they don't conflict with one another. The DSP (in my case v4a) is the DJ mixing all the mods together to create an ideal sound. It isn't ridiculous to want the best sound out of your primary device and we have accomplished it with multiple mods.

Your issue could be solved the following ways:

1. Removing DSP manager and its lib files.

2. Removing viper4android.

3. Trying a different ROM.

Number 3 seems like an likely solution since not every nexus 5 owner have successfully gotten v4a to work with cm11. Lastly it would have made more sense to post your audio clipping issue in the main thread since it is an known issue involving the nexus 5 running certain ROMs.
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Ah hell. I forgot where I put my headphones
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I'd loan you mine but... ?
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Lol no thanks :p

I'm still finding. Else, I can't continue making IRS :(
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Lol when you lose something it's normally right under your nose our the last place you think to look

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

BTW in music effects I've set it to sound alive and wow the quality is awesome with r9 I am very impressed thank you
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Lol I searched everywhere, drawers, cabinets, etc. Not found yet. Well, I'll use my QuadBeat Pro earphones for temporary replacement :p

Is the battery drain problem still there on R9? :confused:
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I've not noticed it yet it was more about CPU consumption for me music was stuttering but now it sounds prefect especially with sound alive activated I never thought to try that before
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
So, SoundAlive really works by now? :)
[Android Software Development] agrttc:
Version r9 TW succesfully installed on my note 2 :)

and sound its better than r8. Great work.
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Added new IRS: MusicLive :)
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
As far as I can tell I have no fc and my music sounds great and v4a is still working with sound alive selected in music fx
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I will have to reflash the mod to see sound alive works. It is weird that didn't work for me since I have a Samsung phone.

Update: sound alive still doesn't work on my phone.
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Oh OK then it only work on some roms
[Android Software Development] sjknight413:
I respect all of what you just said but your suggestions would be more relevant if it wasn't just these IRS causing the problem. It isn't my rom, or kernel, or anything else because every other irs works fine with no clipping.

It is literally just those in this thread, and they all cause clipping. I did try on an aosp rom this morning, specifically PA, but the result was still the same.

Anyway, I'm not trying to demean the OPs work. Just saying that i, as a user, have not been able to use them as they cause issues. I respect that they are free, and I respect OPs decision to create them and release them into the wild!
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Ok, ok. I knew what you mean

But, I think what caused the problem is the higher bit-depth level. My IRS here are 24-bit RIFF files while other IRS are mostly only 16-bit. Another cause might be the sampling rate. Every IRS here works fine for me though, including most people. If you said I created garbage and put them here, then fine, I can stop making IRS so I can do other things instead (programming, animating, etc). But as my IRS works for most people, then no, I'll continue making more IRS

Peace :angel:
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Yeah go ahead and do your thing Vinardo. You have a lot of fans here. They'd be disappointed if you stopped. ?

[MENTION=354265]vina[/MENTION]rdoZzZ I have a request for r10 if it's possible please could you add an option in aroma installer for db gain I use acid but must admit it's a bit trying to think of a word over kill on the top end and v4a doesn't quote go Loud enough for my liking as it's been said before hox volume isn't great it would be really helpful if you could do this for me and maybe others have the same problem thanks for your work I appreciate it truly
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
My phone can handle 24 bit audio as well as a high sample rate. The main issue was the crappy speakers.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
PS I'm speaking of headphone volume as I know you can't do anything for my internal speaker thanks again
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I have read that Samsung phones have the best Digital Analog Converter (DAC) on the market. That was quite a while back though. Things may have changed since then.
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
It is still up there at the top but LG's G2 and G3 as well as the HTC m8 have great audio as well.
[Android Software Development] thucoisao:
It's still.
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Well that's good. My GN2 that I love so dearly is going to have to be my last Samsung phone on Verizon. My next carrier and phone are going to be developer friendly. I'm sick of them trying to ram their rules down our throats. But I'm stuck with Verizon for about another year and a half. We'll see what develops.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I realised aicp has an option to not show fc pop-up so I turned it off to see if sound alive was working I noticed I'm getting fc for com.bel.android.dspmanager but I've deleted dsp manager are there any system files I need to delete to stop this thanks for any help you can give me
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Well the S5 was unlocked. Still I am not a fan of touchwiz so I am leaning towards the LG G3.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I'm hoping to get an m7 or m8 soon they look awesome and I've heard one through my hesh 2s without sound mods and they sound amazing can't imagine what they'd sound like with the mods in using on one x

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

@jmz23 any chance you know what I need to delete to stop the fc I mentioned above I trellised vinardo had probably left is for the night now
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
I am looking into that as I am having the same issue with sound alive which doesn't make sense because I have an S3. As for the HTC I recommend the m8 as the speakers sound better. I am still debating on getting the red m8 or the black G3.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I found it strange as dsp manager gets deleted with pon3

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

I would go with m8 HTC build quality is great and they last
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
LG G3 Review this is the review for LG G3 it has a QHD display among other things. Also both I believe are $99 with contract.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
It does look impressive but I think I still put preference on the m8 to put it simple Harmon harden duel speakers lol
[Android Software Development] jmxc23:
Um only the US has the Harmon Kardon Edition. In fact there is no Harmon Kardon anything in the m8. You can however have the Harmon Kardon lib files via Zeroinfinity's audio mod for the m8. You will have to search for someone with the HKE m8 sim unlocked in order to actually own that m8.
[Android Software Development] ZeroInfinity:
Hahaha my mod doesn't contain libs which won't work on other devices!

H/K conversion mod is totally different, it's nothing to do with my soundmod ;) fyi, H/K is much more complicated than 'just adding libs'

[Android Software Development] //.dax:
So then latest Pon-3 audio with H/K libs isn't working as it should?
[Android Software Development] kaotikdragon:
Hey Vinardo...R9 and R9 TW both are not booting for me on my note 3. I went back to R8 TW for now.
[Android Software Development] dinaps86:
I still never got this to work....even ever waaahhh
[Android Software Development] ZeroInfinity:
I've posted a very long explanation about these things somewhere near the beginning in this thread ;)

Obviously, copy pasting files doesn't necessarily mean it works straight out of the box...

Sent from mah haytch tee see Juan via crapatalk
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I have thought a lot about this I remember your post on this subject basically it boils down to the fact that it is impossible to truly replicate harmen karden you can only try to mimic I.e Mach the pitches and tones of the m8 harmen karden edition to truly replicate it you would have to have harken karden speakers
[Android Software Development] //.dax:
I found it and now fully understand the things about H/K and HTC audio libs itself.. Really great explanation :)

So actually I have a bit bloated /system partition, so it's time to restore a backup :D
[Android Software Development] ZeroInfinity:
Techinically, H/K is software side, it doesn't necessarily require the Sprint HTC One M8 Harman/Kardon speakers to have that effect. The m8 already has a conversion mod which fully enables H/K effects.

As for other devices, it is impossible to have the exact same effect. The closest thing you would get is to make an IRS which roughly simulates the effect. As I've explained a long time ago, the IRS maker would need to hear the real effect for himself first in order to make a rough simulation of it ;)

[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
SoundAlive? Well if soundalive crashes, currently the only way to stop it is deleting the apk :(

This one
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Elements Of Fidelity RX (R10) pre-release version is up :)

WARNING: THIS IS PRE-RELEASE AND I HAVEN'T TESTED IT YET. SO PLEASE PREPARE YOUR MOST RECENT BACKUP

So, I'm trying to fix most problems, which includes: battery drain issues, high CPU usage, FCs, bootloops, etc. And I'm also trying to tweak it more. I updated the audio configurations. I don't know if it will be louder or not. So, I need someone to test it. This mod is now lighter than TW version EOF so it should work on most TouchWiz phones. But please note this mod includes SoundAlive libraries. Either your SoundAlive app will like the new files or crash.

I'm going to test the mod in a few minutes :)
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
That's DSP Manager FC. Delete DSPManager.apk from /system/app or disable it. :)

The cause of the FC is I didn't include Cyanogen DSP audio effect entry in the mod's audio_effects.conf
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
DSP manager is already deleted there must be something left in the system any idea how to completely delete it dsp gets deleted with pon3 obviously it doesn't fully get rid of it thanks for your help

I want to see of sound alive is working but I can't get past said fc I have to reboot my phone so of you know how i can get rid of it it would be appreciated
[Android Software Development] StinkyToilet:
Can you check if the directory "/data/app/com.bel.android.dspmanager" exists? :confused: If yes then DSP Manager is not completely removed...

EDIT: If SoundAlive is really working for you (the controls), I'll re-add it on R10 release :)
