Hello old friend good to see you in these parts, as for your question I'm not really sure to help much as I'm no longer on the team and still using an older version, but what I did was choose ark ice config 2 and holy **** preset and of course my v3 toolbox and it's all working for me, you could try this setup and see if it works for you, please report back as I will try to help in any way I can.

I'm currently using 2.79 currently and it sounds and works great.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hi mate.

As always you're the most helpful guy in here. Thx a lot for your advice. I'd like to try it and I'll tell you how it works out for me, off course ??.

Have you tried Ainur? I think it really is great too... Especially with Arkamys add-on or B&O - unfortunately you cannot use them together as b&o breaks Arkamys or everything else installed on top of Ainur. I really love it quite much, but there's not so many possibilities as with arise... On the contrary it's more idiotsafe for a guy like me to fiddle with. There's a variant for your M8 too, but I'll bet you know that already.

Nice to talk to you again, old friend... More of that, please ??.

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Always good to hear from you mate and yes I know of them but was too busy with arise, since that's not the case anymore there may be something good on the horizon

Hey guys, I don't mean to derail the thread, but is it worth waiting for the HTC u11 or to rather get the 10? I heard the ocean doesn't ship with a 3.5!
[One (M8) General] Leon:
You heard right. It wont have 3.5 jack. But Im considering the same. Right now HTC 10 here is around 300 Euro. And probably HTC Ocean will be around 800 Euro IMO
[One (M8) General] ahmed.ismael:
Me too i think the U11 will be over priced and if i will upgrade soon i will go for HTC 10 or OP3T

But hey how is that related to a sound mods thread ? :o
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I've been in talks with the arise team and they're all saying the temporary final version is the greatest to date, you may want to flash and had for yourself guys
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
No surprise there. The U Ultra also didn't have a minijack, and neither did the Bolt (US Sprint exclusive) which came right before the U Ultra.

Like you I was also looking to upgrade, and waited for the U Ultra to be unveiled; thinking (like many) it was the new HTC flagship. Decided it was overpriced, and didn't offer anything new (in fact, a step backward IMO, as the physical design just mimics the Samsung phones). And the lack of minijack really was another dealbreaker. Ended up going for the OnePlus 3T at about half the price of the U Ultra, Pixel, etc. Was surprised to see the U11 coming out (the "real" flagship?). But I'm again underwhelmed. Pretty much the same reaction as I had with the U Ultra: massively overpriced, no minijack, and nothing really new - except you and squeeze it :p

But sorry to digress, the question really has nothing to do with M8 sound mods.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Guys, does anyone remember the buildprop edit we need to do to get the experimental high quality in the audio output in the poweramp?

Paste this in system/ect

Replace the original set correct permissions the same as all the others it should be rw r r, reboot to recovery and flash atmos and the patch it should work after that mate, let me know
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Thank you very very much, mate ... you are a pure genius, [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]. Which patch do you mean I have to flash ... Im unsure of what you mean here? I have replaced your audio_config in system/etc, reinstalled Dolby Atmos from recovery ... but which patch do you mean, mate? Have I forgotten something?

This one mate sorry you must have missed it lol.

And thanks but I'm no genius I just find things most people wouldn't and share them the guys that port these mods and make the work are the geniuses mate.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Gee, yes ... I missed it - sorry :)

And now it's working properly ... thank you very much for this :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No problem hope you like it.

Let me know.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Hang on
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
I will let you know, mate ... Im gonna plug in my headphones when I ride home from work, so I'll tell you later ... but Im sure it sounds fantastic ... really looking forward to try it, thanks a lot again :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
My current setup
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Jeeeeesuuuuus, man ... I could'nt wait [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] :) This is a complete new listening experience. Astonishing, mate ... It sounds so good that I dont want to take off my headphones. And when I get myself down to the hi-fi shop and get myself a couple of high-end headphones ... this is just with normal/standard HTC plugin earphones. God dammit this sound is amazingly crispy.

Do you use wired headphones or bluetooth headphones? I have a pair of bluetooth headphones I use while cycling or running, but Im honestly not satisfied with the connectivity ... they quite often looses connection with the phone which irritates me big time when working out. But maybe you can recommend me a good pair, mate? You surely seems to know a lot about sound and quality :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I've also got both but my Bluetooth headphones need repairing ATM I dropped them crying!!! But if you want my advise my Bluetooth headphones are nothing short of greatness they are called bluedio r+ revolution they have 8 speakers two subs and six surround sound speakers that is, and what is more because they aren't an advertised company you can get them dirty cheap mate on eBay they are £49 that's pennies considering what they are capable of.

http://www.berryreview.com/2013/01/06/review-bluedio-r-stereo-bluetooth-headphones/
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Thx, mate ... I'll go look for them when its payday ... It sound as a fairly reasonable price ... nice specs for the headphones :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Great specs mate wait till you hear them I've scoured the internet and I can't find any headphones equivalent to them.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
[MENTION=5779397]Bud Horn[/MENTION] thanks for the kind words mate I appreciated it.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
My pleasure, mate ... you are really something ... nice and helpful - I appreciate your help and kindness very much. It seems that we have the same interests: kernel (tuning) and best possible sound on our great M8s :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Only the best lol.

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
This is pretty cool
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Yeah ... it looks cool, but I don't think it can sound any better than the setup I'm running right now with Atmos, FX and XHIFI ... am I wrong, mate?
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]

Mate, i hv set my selinux to be permissive, yet android xhifi won't install driver

Any idea?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It is fun to play with and does add clarity and a nice bass response it's no worse maybe a touch better I'm using it on top of what your using mate
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Try this one mate, works fine for me.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dkjvdawn4fufsf3/ViPER4AndroidXHiFi.apk?dl=0

Just install as a normal apk.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Still can't get atmos running on my m7 with m9 port...after few tries it even breaks audio_effects.config and I have to refresh system as no dsp except of beats will work -.- CRAP shiat, hope zero is working on it...
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
If your using an m9 port it may have some Dolby lines in audio_effects.conf they will need deleting before flashing the mod and patch mate
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I believe zero is looking at atmos but can't confirm it mate.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Already did that, there aren't many...I will just wait and use dragon-fi :)
[One (M8) General] XxLicterioxX:
So,what's the best combinations to get great audio playback ? I've used v4a and dragon....
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Have you mentioned it in the atmos thread he should be able to help. It's worth the fiddling mate it sounds awesome.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
ATM inn in favour of boomsound with Dolby atmos v4a and Xhifi, but I'm messing with Maxx audio ATM on top of those and I'm just taking the settings to find my sweet spot.

Maxx audio isn't available yet though I might add irs still in testing stages.

Dolby atmos update
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]

Hei mate. Using ur xhifi apk, and still get an error

Is it possible that it is kernel related? I'm currently using hypernova 1.4.8
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Which rom are you using? You can try also elementalx kernel, maybe it helps, maybe not
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Did you set the kernel to permissive in the aroma installer it should work
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
[MENTION=4645599]One-M8-Master[/MENTION]

Currently using leedroid 7.4.1

Will try elemental soon

[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]

Yup, hv set it to permissive. V4a fx is working great tho
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm trying to figure this out your on the same rom as me I have you the app I'm using and I know it works with Hn do you have your system mounted as r/w that could cause it to not install, you can find it in tweaks.
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]

Nope, hv tried toggle it both r/o and r/w. Still not working. Which one do i jeed to hv to hv xhifi work? R/w?

[One (M8) General] edios123:
Just now shifted to LeeDroid.

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. There are a lot of things in the OP. What all should I install for the best bass performance? I own a real budget headphone, XB 450. And distortless bass is what I love over other things.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
V4a is probably your best bet mate you could try dolby but that's for a surround sound experience.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
[MENTION=5357345]ahrion[/MENTION] I think this is your department mate any ideas please.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Have you updated the link in op with the atmos update, mate?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's still the same link mate atmos just made an update to fix comparability, it should be easier to flash now.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Th, mate ... I'll get it asap - together with the extreme beats mod ... I havent heard about that before, so I'm definately gonna try it out ... It sound really promising. I love this thread, mate :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Make a backup before trying eb mate I don't think it works, I mentioned this a while ago in the thread somewhere Ben has found the issue causing sense to not boot and is currently working on a m8 and m9 compatible version, I will be keeping everyone informed as soon as I hear anything, I already promised that lol you must had missed it.

I'm glad your enjoying the thread mate thanks.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
I have flashed it and will return in a while to see if it works ... It seems that my M8 boots properly, though ... I'll let you know, mate :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Are you still On LeeDroid even Ben said pity only works on aosp for m8 lol.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Yes yes ... I'm still on LeeDroid. I'm not gonna leave Lee, thats for sure :). LeeDroid = purity in the best Sense (get it?) ... But I am on multirom and have Xenon HD installed as secondary rom, so maybe I'll give it a try with Xenon, 'cause as you said, mate ... I does'nt work on LeeDroid (hopefully it will in proper time). After installation it booted fine, but got fc on Dolby and the systems overall performance went down.

Thank you, nandroid :)

---------- Post added at 13:25 ---------- Previous post was at 13:11 ----------

Dammit ... the r5 vers. of atmos fc on me ... do I have to flash the r1 patch? I don't think so ...I just dirtyflashed r5 over r1 as I read that was ok to do ... have you got it working, mate?

[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]

i'm gonna do a clean flash tonight and gonna try change kernel to see if it is kernel related problem.

will report back ASAP
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I think that might be a good idea and I would say to try quantum mate as you don't need to set permissive with quantum it's done in the kernel.
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]

tried SD kernel, elementalX, and quantum

none working :(

i guess i would have to live without xHiFi then..
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Did you do a clean install
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I've been informed by a reliable source that a clean install should solve this issue mate please try it and report back, I'm truly confused as to why your having issues as your setup mirrors mine and I've had no problem installing Xhifi since kk.
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
i swapped kernels doing dirty flash, but just did a RUU trying to solve the issue.

will try doing another RUU mate.

using xHiFi on KK also worked here. first time trying to use it since sense 7.

will report back.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
It seems a lot like my setup too and I have no issues with xhifi either ... I'll recommend clean install, mate :)
[One (M8) General] gamer765:
So as I mentioned in the S.ROM thread, I was able to get JBL LiveStage working by flashing the HK ADSP and the libs and instead of enabling HK in settings, I've enabled JBL and it appears to work. Could be because Harman Kardon is part of JBL and JBL stuff might already be built in to said libs. Info on enabling found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60838180&postcount=1685 [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] made the point that adsp is different and probably libs too, so it'd be great if someone can provide me an ruu of the HTC Butterfly 2 so I can compare ADSPs and libs.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
I think the HS in the ADSP for JBL stands for "Harman Sound" but I am not sure, just a crackpot theory I got.

I really want JBL port though sigh.

Someone provide that man a RUU!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm working on it lol bear with me.
[One (M8) General] gamer765:
Actually I'd also like that ADSP you're talking about, with the HS
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
The adsp is in srom mate I think it's in the firmware folder [MENTION=6262356]JellyKitKat[/MENTION]Lolli knows this one.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
I hope nobody will get mad or something lol, this is extracted from S.Rom all credits to sun_dream and topjohnwu.

I couldn't upload to XDA since it's over 8 MB.

http://a.pomf.se/adhaii.img

change the name to adsp.img
[One (M8) General] gamer765:
Awesome, going to flash it and see if it makes any difference than the HK adsp
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Good man.
[One (M8) General] gamer765:
I flashed the JBL ADSP and I don't think I can hear much difference than the HK ADSP. It still has HD audio support, can play 24bit 192kHz flac. Logcat says its enabled and when it loads the profile notice it says global_HarmanLS up top. It's using Harman LiveStage it seems.

Edit: would still prefer an ruu or system dump from butterfly 2 for proper libs. Or I'll just try ripping them from S.ROM and compare those to the libs in HK switcher.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
This means it's working yeah, this is getting exciting, [MENTION=6262356]JellyKitKat[/MENTION]Lolli said he thinks it sounds a bit better than hk I think he said these bass was better, it's in this thread somewhere.

I'm trying to find a ruu for you so you can check the libs.

Would a rom not do these same job though.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Damn that's awesome, I think it sounds better than Harman LiveStage though, I prefer JBL much more, Although I am not surprised at the similarities between them.

I think there's something a bit different about the JBL LiveStage and the ADSP can prove it too, Or else why wouldn't they use HM for it.

The ADSP for JBL is a bit larger too, in fact it's the largest.
[One (M8) General] gamer765:
Yeah I think it sounds slightly better but night be because I'm using different headphones. Mostly use Sony MH1C, but using some Panasonic buds right now. Will switch ADSP and do sound checks.

If there was a complete ruu for the second one then yeah but it looks like it's only an ota. First one might be jellybean, so it's too old. Firmware from ota is good though
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Hope it helps I'll keep looking.
[One (M8) General] gamer765:
It does, I just realized that Hong Kong and Japan version of Butterfly 2 has JBL LiveStage while SEA version doesn't, at least it's not advertised on the page for that country, BoomSound is advertised.

I'm wondering whether you might be able to manually add the drivers I'll find out.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
When you installed these app did it ask you to grant root privileges?
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
it did. and i gave root privileges. v4a fx working, but not xhifi.

i should choose the last option right? something like cortex with neon thing?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yes that's the correct option mate,

I'm waiting for a message back about manually installing the drivers in the hope that will work lol.
[One (M8) General] kenn7:
thanks mate!

anw, does xhifi actually make a lot of differences?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It does it converts music to 32bit float point which increases clarity and depth, it makes quite a big difference imo.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION]

Anyone using Viper4Android here?

Got a neat trick for you [emoji14]

By default, Viper4Android FX plays at 16Bit audio format however, Viper4Android XHiFi (One that has been discontinued) processes in 32Bit Floating Point format.

You can actually use both of them at the same time without any conflicts and force 32Bit Floating Point when V4A XHiFi is turned on.

If you wanna give this a go, just download XHiFi from here: http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=48 (Last download link). Install the apk file, open the app, install drivers (With NEON for Cortex A- devices which will be for most phones) and reboot! And yes, Lollipop is supported! but you might need to disable NuPlayer in Developer's settings if you have any problems such as drivers reporting "abnormal". You also need SELinux set to permissive, as you may know when using V4A in lollipop. It doesn't matter on KitKat and below.

You may use the settings in XHiFi but I prefer to do all my tweaking in FX, but the Audio Reconstruction feature is pretty neat :) I'm just enabling V4A XHiFi and leaving all other settings disabled/untouched and use V4A FX like normal. All the settings should work side by side without any bugs or glitches.

Using both at the same time:

FX Drivers enabled:

XHiFi Drivers enabled:

However, the strange thing is, in /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/apq8064-tabla-snd/MSM8960 Media1/state it reports that the output is only a S24_LE format (Signed 24 Bit Little Endian). I am wondering if this is either a limitation for our device (Can't support Floating Point Audio format) or just a but in the "state" file only reporting S24_LE... The driver info in XHiFi reported 32Bit FP however.

EDIT: This is probably why it only outputs at 24 Bit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth#Audio_processing), so XHiFi will actually process the audio in 32 bit floating point but decide to output in 24 bit format.

I would like to thank [MENTION=4547113]nitephlight[/MENTION] for giving me the idea on hangouts [emoji14] Thanks man!

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's a long shot but try the link in that post from earlier.
[One (M8) General] ZeroInfinity:
Quick correction in case of misinformation: It does NOT convert music to 32Bit, it processes audio at 32Bit Floating Point and PLAYSBACK at 24Bit. Nothing is being converted, music files are untouched. Audio quality is improved as anti-aliasing is more effective at 24Bit.
