i dont want to try custom roms, just minor theming, moding with stock, but i desperately want v4a, as it is one of the primary reasons i have rooted:(

mate, finally found the culprit to my xhifi issue.

it's supersu!

in supersu, i unchecked the mount namespac thingy option due to incompatibility w/ TB

that causes xhifi not to work! LOL

it's all good now

Hello everyone.

Don't know why I'm so reluctant to flash any audio mod into my LeeDroid M8.

Maybe 'cause I tried once to flash Dragon Fi and I finished in a bootloop so I decided to give up.

I'm interested in JUST sound quality improvements (no sorround or whatever) and I'd like to check HK mod. I only have one question: since I understood flashing HK will change partitions in some way (that's why you need to be S-OFF), what's the way back if something goes wrong? A simple nandroid will restore everything as it was? Or a clean flash of the ROM?

Does anybody of you ever did that?

Thanks in advance.

Just use the hk switcher mate its simple, you can flash back and forth as you please.

[One (M8) General] maxito71:
Sorry mate but which "switcher" are you talking about? You mean reflash the zip and choose to restore HTC BOOMSOUND? My doubts are about the new partition the zip will create and how to revert it.

Thanks
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
That hk boomsound switcher from sneskyghost mate it doesn't make any new partitions it overwrites boomsound files with hk and puts them all back again if you switch to boomsound again using that installer easy as that, as long as your soff you won't have a problem, even if your son it doesn't do any damage it just wouldn't fully work.

What sound mods is every1 using or what do we think is the best combination?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I think it's personal taste tbh but ATM I'm using hk and Atmos it sounds great,

But I think boomsound and ddp sounds nice,

Jbl and Atmos sound good also.

I also use V4A and xhifi to customise things to my personal taste and compensate for headphones etc.

Another thing is Maxx audio which can be used with all the combinations I've mentioned it gives the music great clarity.

There are many combinations I would say to try and find some time to have a tinker.

There are also thousands of different irs files floating around xda you should try some there use something for every taste.

Hi everybody! (I sound like Dr. Nick)

I started to read this thread in November, downloaded the HK mod, then got distracted, lollipop came out, and now I have basic Lollipop stock (rooted + S- off) and I am really confused because I'm trying to get a consensus on the right mods, but now this thread is too deep in detail (by the time I get to page 36 or so).

I don't want to be that guy who looks for the easy way without reading...But if I just have stock with boomsound and would like to have both the native speakers sound a bit better (if possible)...but more importantly, audio out. In other words, when I plug a 3/4" headphone jack into the phone that goes to stereo RCA cables (and to a stereo), I was hoping for a little better sound. I noticed the poor quality sound using Spotify (and I have tried some EQs from the Play store...But haven't found anything that really improves the sound).

Usually, in the past, if I ever did anything like this, I would use my old iPod classic with the 3/4" Jack which splits to stereo EVA cables, and I don't know if it is the built in EQ on the iPod, but the dynamic range and frequency range is considerably superior when I listen to music this way through the iPod...

I'll make a back up now, but if anyone can suggest either a mod, an app, or an EQ to liven up this audio-out when I run it to my stereo (or even boost the lows/highs adequately just with the native m8 speakers if that's all I can do)...I'd be grateful for any suggestions. I have ear buds, but to be honest, I'm always in such a loud environment, headphone sound is not a priority... It's mostly for "audio-out" or anything that might improve the native speakers (like an EQ app).

But I just want to remind anyone who responds that I'm on stock...stock ROM, and stock kernel.

Thank you!! I really appreciate any thought someone gives this.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Mate tbh I think if I understand correctly first you should install a custom kernel like hypernova quantum or lyapota for the kernel level sound enhancements, you will need an app like faux sound then use hk for they best possible quality fort M8, hk has its own surround effect but you can use Dolby digital plus, with or without surround effect as it also has a volume boost,

You can use v4a to further tweak everything to your preference and I would also recommend xhifi for extra clarity.

You can find everything in my opinion mate I hope this helps.

Any questions just ask.

Sent from my M8
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Thank you!

So basically an upgraded kernel is the first step... I don't mind, and provided no one has had any complaints about those kernels you mentioned, I'm sure they're fine.... I was just going to stick with stock until I can't stand sense anymore.

[One (M8) General] jxcorex28:
I'll look into it, but how has the same setup worked in car audio speakers ? I ask because I hardily listen to music through headphones. I also realize you probably don't have the same speaker setup, or even the same ROM. I've noticed slight differences from various ROMs regarding sound performance. Always looking for suggestions to improve audio loudness without distortion...
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
smee: Ok... I finally had some more time to look at this. In the meantime, I lost headphone functioning...Though completely puzzled as to why. A restore to s nandroid from a month ago fixed it.

I flashed Hypernova 1.4.5 since I am running sense 6+5.0.1. I read that it was advised to dirty flash your ROM or Kernel (or reset completely, which I didn't want to do), but I didn't know how to turn the system dumps into flashable components (either ROM or just the kernel), so I just flashed it once.

I changed some settings in Aroma, and realize I will need to flash it again to change them. I read the MassStash thread and any working informational links from there about tweaking interactive and PVS (but didn't really know how to apply that info).

Everything seems to be working fine... I haven't used the phone much today, but using the kernel auditeur app, it shows the max frequency I set as max. I didn't undervolt anything, and basically tried to select safe settings...but still different from stock.

Question....(which I saw asked but didn't quite understand answers to): can I or should I flash the hypernova version 1.5.1 even though I'm running Sense 6/5.01? [[This is making me want to step up to LeeDroid or Viper, btw.]

Second question: nothing has changed any sound performance (but sound overall is very low) but I realize I need to flash some mods. Before I go buy faux sound, I'm going to flash h/k I think. Or perhaps the other mod which you mentioned had a volume increase.

I will have to re-read this thread again as I understand a bit more now, but I'm surprised the amount of reading all of this has required compared to other stuff (like changing hex values in certain databases in order to over ride tether limitations in 4.4.4!)

Thanks very much for your help this far though!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
[MENTION=3785763]syntropic[/MENTION] Yes mate you can use 1.5.1 I think just make a backup before flashing it just in case,

Leedroid is a great rom and well worth using as a daily driver,

You don't really need faux sound as kernel auditor has sound control also,

You can also use v4a to boost volume somewhat you can change most aspects of the sound using this app.

As for hk as long as you are soff I would definitely flash it it doesn't make anything louder but it dramatically improves sound quality on our M8.

Hope this helps mate any questions just ask.

i used a lot of setting in v4a, like bass, clarity, convover, spectrum, playback gain. the sound is pretty loud so i need to turn it down for a bit :p
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'd go with extreme beats and both V4A apps for aosp mate with faux sound that should give the best quality for non sense roms, you can also flash dragonfi for better sound processing,

I think with some tweaking in V4A you should be able to get the sound your wanting,

But then while trying different irs files, I wasn't noticing any differences. So I started looking around in other threads (I believe to one of the original V4A threads for the Galaxy). It mentioned a bunch of settings that needed to be manually changed, some in were located in an audio related system file (can't recall the name), several more changes in build.prop, and then it was instructing users to make v4a a system app.

Should we (as HTC One m8 users) follow any of these instructions?
