Lol I have no idea How it's done but that is supposedly what the mod does that's How htc advertised it that's why this mod was so sought after.

I think it would work something like spectrum extension in v4a by repairing lost audio in the target mp3.
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Well i think it's more like the old "Dolby or no Dolby on the M8" it may sound like it but it's not truly the same. Missing sounds can't be scaled back but tweaking it (sound enhancement) is always possible but it's actually done outside the audio file.

:)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Working out not it keeps the flashaholics happy with something to play with lol.

It has its advantages 24bit playback flac support and it works on Bluetooth.

It also sounds nicer than boomsound but as with any of the different sound mods its personal preference.

[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] Been a while since I've been around but I woke up this morning wanting to play with some new mods./tweaks. What's your current set-up? Any recommendations? I very rarely use headphones with my M8, usually the phone's speakers or a bluetooth device.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Hi mate good to see you,

I'm currently using a self made jbl hk hybrid and it sounds awesome mate,

If you or anyone else is interested I can post details of how to achieve this.

As this also incorporates the recent hk stagefright fix.
[One (M8) General] lucky58:
Yes please for details and achievement!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You'll need to flash jbl then let the phone boot after go back to recovery and flash hk without adsp.

let it boot again go to the jbl zip and extract the files in the tfa folder located in the system_hk /etc folder and also extract the cal.acdb files from the etc folder,

place these in the relative folders in your roms system/etc tfa folder and the cap.acdb files in etc folder, set permissions to rw-r-r.

Then you need to find hk in default.xml located in system/customise/AAC and change hk from false to true also look for effect_manager and make sure it's set to 4 save it then reboot.

You will end up with very clear highs and nice deep punchy bass its really something I'm very pleased with the outcome.
[One (M8) General] mandegar93:
It's a temptation for me to trying this! ?

But I have JBL already(flashed jbl over my Harman kardon), this configuration is something different and new to me??
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's basically updating jbl and it sounds amazing its loud and powerful, it's not that difficult really although I'm trying to get it made into a flashable zip so that the the process is much easier ill keep you all posted on progress.

It really does sound amazing ill chilling listening to some of my favorite reggae! On my skullkandy hesh 2's it's crystal clear I can hear all the high end and the bass is strong and punchy and the soundstage is perfect the stereo effect is also pretty great.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
[MENTION=5779397]Bud Horn[/MENTION] you will love this mate.
[One (M8) General] mandegar93:

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Have you tried it mate.
[One (M8) General] mandegar93:
Unfortunately No!

I've just flashed the JBL mode that you sent to me over my latest BS HK switcher and sounds good!

Therefore with this situation tell me the instructions to change my sound mod and I will do it in time[emoji6]
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Instructions are a few posts back mate.
[One (M8) General] mandegar93:
I thought it's a different instructions for me!? so for beginning I should to flash HK without updating adsp or fully back to BS and start your instruction(flash Jbl and ....) Because I flashed JBL on HK later!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No as you already have jbl all you need to do is flash hk without adsp after booting extract the tfa files in the tfa folder and cab.acdb files from the etc folder jbl and copy them to the same folders in your system then set permissions rw-r-r for those files,

You will then need to edit build.prop change support Harmon from true to false and make sure effect_manager is set to 4 save and reboot.

Then you should be all good mate.
[One (M8) General] mandegar93:
Followed instruction, can't find HK line or effect manager line in build prop
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sorry my error I meant default.xml .

Hi there [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION].

I think I managed to get it done right ... but one thing I could'nt find is this - you wrote: "Then you need to find hk in default.xml located in system/customise/AAC and change hk from false to true" ... I cannot find hk in default.xml ... is that a problem?

Another question: what about dolby plus (not atmos, as I use BT) and extrememusic and v4a? Should I still use it?

Thx in advance, mate ...:)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
The line actually says support harmon mate,

For the other question v4a goes without saying lol,

And the others are up to you but I'm just using jblhk with dragon_fi but not Atmos just the scripts and some tweaks in v4a and xhifi.
[One (M8) General] danial.aw:
I am on GPE with Elementalx... Just wondering what I can do to increase just the speaker volume... Don't care too much for a dsp just need the volume boosted. Fauxsound won't boost speaker for some reason :/
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
V4a can help as it has gain controls but Atmos would also help if you turn on volume leveller mate.
[One (M8) General] elandroido:
AFAIK speakers have their own dsp which has a built in volume limiter... Well Dolby atmos helps a little but you cannot really call it a boost... I think the speaker dsp just doesn't allow a boost...

[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
If fauxsound control could be implemented again it would be damn nice. Problem is that it somehow only works on nexus phones with lollipop but not other phones like HTC or Sony or so... It would give a great boost and even better sound. The m7 need it too...but I think I will get the Xperia z5 soon

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Good to see you mate so you didn't manage to get another m8 that's a shame, also quite shocked that your thinking of leaving HTC it won't be the same without you lol,

How after you liking dragon-fi 25 mate I'm using the scripts but I'm not that fond off Atmos I think it sounds fake on my headphones,

I'm currently running hk hybridized with jbl along with dragon-fi and project desire and a little help from v4a asked xhifi I'm getting awesome sound from my m8.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yeah I can't wait to get the m10 wo I will take the z5 because even without root and just plain stock it will be nearly perfect... No phone will be like m8 from HTC..maybe if the m10 will be better then z5 I will sell it and get m10...

Currently I'm running xenon HD Rom..but I think I will flash this week s.Rom back so I can use Walkman and Sony enhancer but without Dolby and v4a...Dolby is not good on m7 since the audio output isn't great and it's sounds just weird, even after several config edit.

I still will be here even if I have z5 to help...but yeah HTC really f#cked themselves in the as.... I thought if getting an m8/9 used. But the problem is even if they are in bad condition the ppl want to sell them about 250-350€...

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

My first smartphone was an HTC. I have always loved this brand. But the most important for me before any other function is audio quality. I bought M8 just because of that. And in fact coming from a nexus 5 it was night and day in terms of details after having installed H/K mods + Project Era. The quality is very good. But recently i installed a sound application called Boom2 on my macbook and realized my vmoda M100 could give an even better sound. So even if i thought my m8 + ibasso T3 amp was giving the best out of the m100s it seems that not. Then i recently try Fostex TH600. I realized even more our it is important to have a good source with good amplification when you use high quality earphones or headphones. I don't want to have to carry any external dac or amp anymore. I wish HTC had released something even better in audio (like Meizu mx5 pro for example) but it seems their new models are weaker. I don't understand what they are doing this year. I'm especially thinking of HTC M9 and M9 plus and the coming one E9....

So my choice may in fact go to LG V10 which will have the best audio DAC+amp of all smarphones (ESS Technology)

I am running gpe with dragon-fi (with dolby atmos). I am not pleased with the sound quality of this setup. I suspect atmos is the problem -- it makes the audio sound hollow, overproccessed, and fake.

what's currently the best sound mod setup for gpe?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Personally I don't use gpe but you could uninstall Atmos with the dragon-fi installer and try maxxaudio it's got a much cleaner sound than Atmos mate.

Is there any way to get 24-bit audio with S-On? Is flashing HK the only way?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Hk doesn't work on s on devices I'm afraid,

Srom claim that it does but the fact is you need the adsp and it's not flashable with son as the partition used for the adsp isn't writable with s on sorry.

You can flash dragon-fi though I believe that processes in 24 bit. And there's also project desire and rehear mods they do it aswell.
[One (M8) General] mrrocketdog:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] do you know if HK works with s-off on a non-sense ROM ?

"all i can really do is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It needs sense to work mate but project desire and extreme beats both contain hk libs, you can try those on non sense roms, I can also suggest spectrum extension in v4a as it does almost the same thing, it reproduces lossless quality on mp3.
[One (M8) General] popoyaya:
So those process in 24-bit but don't actually output at that bit rate?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I guess you would need a dsp like Dolby Atmos or Maxx audio to provide the output bit rate both of these convert audio to 24 bit.

Hi there [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] ... I just did a clean install of LeeDroid and I would like to ask you if you have any new recommendations regarding the purest sound ...I am using my Bluetooth headset, so Atmos is still not an issue ... But I am uncertain about how many and which soundmods to choose....therefore I am asking you again, mate. Do you still recommend the settings you suggested some days ago with JBL and HK without adsp? Then V4A off course with irs, any suggestions to the best irs? And then I would ask you, are there any other soundmods you would install besides the above mentiined, mate? Thanks in advance, Buddy ??
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
OK mate my current setup I think sounds fantastic is hk/jbl with project desire and rehear with off course v4a and xhifi lol,

You should give it a try.

I also still have dragon-fi installed but I'm not sure if it's overwritten by desire and rehear as some of the files are the same, but I'm getting really clear boomy bass and crystal clear highs and the sound stage is awesome.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hi mate.

Wow, it looks nice ... thx a lot. Right now I have JBL with HK (and I've followed your advice with installing JBL and then HK without adsp, then the extraction of the files - just as you described). Then I've installed Dragon-Fi and V4A, off course.

So you're saying I actually should flash Project Desire over this? And Rehear - what is that? I never heard of it, mate.

Finally ... are you using any particular irs in V4A for fine-tuning the system? At the moment I have a beats-irs, but I don't think it really does anything.

Thx a lot for your answer, mate ... very good and useful as always :)

\Bud

Edit: I found Rehear and installed the setup you suggested - damn, it sounds really fantastic awesome - even though I'm not listening to reggae but doom-metal instead. I'm really impressed .... my M8 has never sound better.

One final question, mate: which irs are you using in V4A FX? I don't think the Beats irs I use is the best as it does'nt really ad anything to the sound-experience.

Thx again, mate ... I'm really overwhelmed :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Currently not using irs mate I'm letting jbl do its thing but there is one in vinardos thread that I had specially made by vinardo actually there are a few I had made but this is my favorite called HTC triple treat which is boomsound beats audio and Harmon karden thrown together you might like that, also the Sony clear audio is nice or clear bass.

PS you need the jbl adsp it's the hk adsp you don't flash, it's easy to put right if you have the files needed from jbl saved, just Reflash jbl with adsp then hk without them when booted put the jbl files back set permissions and reboot your all good lol.

Let me know what you think if you try my irs files I've not heard them for a while lol I forgot about them.

Just create a folder named Kernel and put the irs files in it mate.
[One (M8) General] BioAlien:
Once using dragon fi if u hit disable dolby or whatever during installation then flash h/k switcher after it uses HK ;) and to get kernel folders etc you need to go into v4a and try to load the files then it recognizes and makes the folders :)
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:

Open up v4a then enable convolver, then hit impulse response (this trys to load the irs and creates the kernel folder)

[One (M8) General] maxito71:
Quick question: for a lazy guy who doesn't want to play around downloading and flashing so many zips, irs and so on, does a simple flash of Dragon-Fi over last Lee's release could be enough to "feel the difference"? If yes, where? Using BT speakers or just headphones or using the phone's speakers?

Thx, guys.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Dragon-fi is fine mate works great mate try it out I don't think you'd regret it and if you do a simple dirty flash of the rom will overwrite it.

There is confusion in the LeeDroid thread between dragon-fi and m9 Dolby, dragon-fi uses a universal Dolby that had nothing to do with m9 but some people think that it's a port from m9,

I think this is due to srom saying they have working Dolby boomsound when they don't because m9 Dolby would need some serious hacking to make it work.

I am currently trying to get some reliable information on this subject so we can all know the facts behind it all.
