So which version would you recommend as the best and most stable, [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]? Been reading a bit on the subject and many are fond of. 0.8.9, but that was before issues with HTC 10 were solved, so I guess that's not an option. Would you go with the latest build?

so [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] , on a clean install , just for fun ; ( only ) v4a with your original profile and the 1st [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] tweak.prop flashed , sounds pretty damn snappy.:high5:

"err on the side of kindness"
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Really it works well without arise?
[One (M8) General] mrrocketdog:
yes sounds good to me. but remember , i'm old , worked in a loudass factory for years and have tinnitus (constant ringing in both ears). :)

"err on the side of kindness"
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Cool are you still using arise, I can't tell if I like 12 or 9.1 I think I liked 12 better.
[One (M8) General] mrrocketdog:
yup , will flip back to arise sooner or later , but the last JB KK was v9.9.8-8 and i think ghero just built that cause i asked about what to change for it to work on JB KK.

like i said , just playin around but it does sound good. maybe will call it D.E.C.L.I.N.E. :)

[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] Does Arise RC5 work well on your m8?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Go with rc 6 mate rc5 had some big issues
[One (M8) General] King_root:
Okay. Are you running that? No issues?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I haven't flashed it personally yet b I've had a very busy weekend I will be flashing it today, I haven't seen any bad reports though.
[One (M8) General] King_root:
There are still quite a few people complaining of apps missing, Bluetooth issues and Google account errors.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Well I'm currently on rc1 with no problems, I'll inform gh to look into it thanks
[One (M8) General] mrrocketdog:
read a couple of users installed rc6 'normally' with success. seems the ones using aroma are having the issues.

"err on the side of kindness"
[One (M8) General] King_root:
I'm getting 'set_perm some changes failed' error while flashing the RC6 zip.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sometimes have to flash twice you could try that mate.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Those issues were from aroma version not the standard zip mate
[One (M8) General] crackerjack1957:
Came from RC1 to RC6 & have terrible battery drain / abnormal heat.

Flashed normally, maybe because did not install viper4android driver correctly.

Any ideas?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I think you have to manually install v4a drivers now, I've not flashed it myself yet, I will do in the morning, in the mean time I'll report it to the team.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] I heard there is a htc 10 working atmos port is it real? If so can you up a link?
[One (M8) General] crackerjack1957:
RC7 working great so far, also flashed super neon driver zip which I did not do in RC6.

May I ask what rom you are using, looks like I'm going to have to leave DU, its no longer(officially) supported on M8, damn shame.

Think I'm going to try SlimRom6.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Srom jw 5.4.0 it's a great rom
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Besides Viper and JW latest are getting further polished and gonna be aired within a week

Suggest you try those as well
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Not a fan of viper but I'll take a look at jw when it's released
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Should be out anytime soon

Hope topjohnwu releases the JW quick settings with the audio effect toggle
[One (M8) General] guttsy:
What's the recommended configuration for high quality / low distortion sound output? I'm not fond of anything that manipulates the sound. I just want a clean unadulterated output at the highest quality.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
If you're using Viper, it is best to keep Viper clarity, playback gain and output gain values lowered or off
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Hey smeejaytee, would you recommend Dolby Atmos Installation with Arise now that they included a EQ App?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'd say make a backup and try it mate, I'm not a fan of Atmos myself, at least not until Ahrion can fix the new version with bt support and get it fully working with HTC, there is something in HTC that kills Atmos from memory as you probably already know, you can use HTC doly though it's in srom and with arise it seems to be fully functional when used with tweak prop HTC effects set to Dolby.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hi guys.

Sorry for this noobish question... I simply cannot remember how to get the irsfiles working in V4A... I know it must be stored in the kernel folder but I cannot seem to get them in there... I'm missing something, I know, because I have fiddled with irs'es before but it's been a while and o can't remember how to... Any help would be very nice - thx in advance, mates ?.

But I got the ahrion vers today and it sounds just awesome ?.

I don't know how important the irs'es are, but I remember having a lot of fun playing with them.... Just can't remember how to...

/Bud

Man is the cruelest animal
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
And I use v4a and xhifi,

Xhifi changes the audio float point to 32 bit it increases clarity v4a is for tweaking the sound to your liking.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Its actually not a real kernel problem, its more the selinux permissions are wrong, since stock kernel doesn't change selinux to permissive we have to flash a kernel like elementalx which changes that or use an app called selinux mode changer( can't be found in gplay anymore because google removed it) ...change to permissive install the drivers and it should work fine
[One (M8) General] OmniSlyfer:
Oh fantastic thank you. However I've noticed that other kernel supports 'hd audio' for best audio quality... Have you ever tried ElementalX or SDkernel? Do you think can I achieve some advantages without loosing the smoothness of my beloved LeeDroid rom?
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Lol yes HD audio is 24bit192khz full support. Especially good with Harman kardon mod. Also custom kernels doesn't really slow down the phone, only if you set bad options like battery saving mpdecision mode

Just try it and see
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You won't lose smoothness mate I would recommend quantum but they are all good and all custom kernels have HD audio now I think mate.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Good to see you in here mate,

Your very informed when it comes to sound on m8 I appreciate it.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yea thanks :) I had a lot.of research on my own and with zero when it comes to sound on m7/m8 so know quite a lot stuff , only m9 not since I don't own it, only my dad [emoji14]
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Lucky dad lol did you get his m8 lol
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
No he had the.m7 ...I have to say I don't really like it compared to the m8 I had lol
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Lol how's the sound compared to m8
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
You can't compare it, m8 is so much better... M9 is a bit better then m8 in some areas and in some m8 is better...but m7 ...nope not good compared to m8... Battery life is more then just awful. Normally its fast and smooth but the rom I have now (Sd rom) is compared to m9 port slower...especially keyboard :/
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Is srom on m7 that looks pretty good and irs got Jbl sound.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
I don't use and don't want to use s.rom anymore, I use nusenseven. Also jbl sound or whatever doesnt work and will on m7. Im really trying to get back a m8 -.-
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Trade it in you should get an m8 cheap enough now over here they've gone to less than £200

Op updated with Dolby atmos. Might need some minor edits in audio_effect.conf if On LeeDroid just a couple of lines to delete nothing too intricate.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Whats that alsa mixer, mate.... What does it do?

Man is the cruelest animal
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You just need to add them to the kernel folder in v4a, I've never had any problems loading them although I never actually use them, except for boomsound irs for speakers.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Ok, Thx mate ?. I'll give it a try, then ?.

Man is the cruelest animal
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Alsa is a powerful sound processor for qcom devices, it's included in most sound mods but tuned by the individual modder usually, it was removed from arise a few versions ago so I thought I'd share for anyone that wants it, with this version I've not seen before but it has customisation settings to tune it to your own preference, which I think use pretty cool as trying to edit it manually is hard.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Thx mate.... I'd love to fiddle with that.... It seems bulletproof idiotsafe ?

Man is the cruelest animal
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Lol let meet know what you think, I've not tried it myself, there have been people mentioning the fact it was removed from arise so I thought I'd share it just in case.
[One (M8) General] crackerjack1957:
I installed & open, all I see is the word empty.

Any instructions to go by to make it work?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sorry mate I've both tried it personally, have been told by a reliable source in the arise thread that it works well to install Alsa though.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Hi guys how is everyone it's gone really quiet here, I am still here if anyone needs me!!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
So if anyone isn't using arise but some other sound MOD available on xda my time is used mostly working on arise any my personal life ATM so could you let me know if any of you are using something other than arise, if there are no bugs let me know so I can add them to the op TIA.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Also anyone using arise and missing Alsa acousticx is now compatible with arise if you skip Dolby Atmos in the aroma installer!
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Hey [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] bro, been using ARISE since it started and stuck with Exodus final as I knew the new build levi had a lot going in testing faze. Wondering what setup are you running atm bro because I appreciate that your another audiophile like myself ;)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
ATM I'm on Maxx ice but I will be updating to Leviticus final today mate, I'm using my tweak prop and v4a profile available in my reserved post in the arise op mate.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Thanks bro, is the final out or coming out today?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's out mate 1.1
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
How's leviticus 1.1 compare to exodus ahron special?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
There different in the way that exodus was very indepth with a mixture of libs and effects from various phones, Leviticus is b simple yet satisfying as it is focused around letv2's Atmos iteration which is pretty outstanding, it uses the soc and is much more integrated with the system than previous versions it's a whole new dolby experience.!
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
OK. Will give it a whirl today :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Cool let me know the outcome
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
So I came from dirty flash but i'm experiencing bootloop. I'm on JW 5.4 with xposed 86, repack of Alex Elemental X. Could that trigger any events?

*edit

I figured out the problem, I forgot to switch to H/K after dirty flashing haha
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Bluetooth sounds awful on Leviticus.... Exodus ahrion by far the best experience in my ears.... Love it. [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]-mate: do you know of any way to fix the Bluetooth issue in Leviticus ? I'd really like to keep it, if I can get it to sound right with BT.

Hope you're OK, mate ?.

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Which version of Leviticus do you mean, 1.1 should be all good mate, are you using tweak prop of so which one mate, I've found Leviticus to have quite nice sq over Bluetooth as that's all I use lol. I might be able to make you a tweak prop that will help if you want mate.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hi mate. Helpful as ever... That's the spirit, buddy ?.

Don't bother making a tweak.prop for me, because I was on ephexxis special vers and haven't tried any of the RC builds... I think I should try those first before complaining anymore over sq in Leviticus.

However I'm back on exodus ahrion special edition and it sounds mind blowing on my 10...hard to beat that setup, I think ?.

I was wondering what the best sound mod for the M8 is. There's a huge amount of different options. But, if anyone has tried most of them, it's you guys.

I'm looking to increase the quality of the sound rather than simply boost volume. What would be best for this? As it's a work phone, I can't try a lot of different options. That's why I was looking for some advice.

Thank you in advance for the help! :)
[One (M8) General] Imotep95:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24566459652898851 Playing with this on cm/aosp roms, sounds gr8.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm a little bias atm as I'm part of the team but arise is the best sound mod on xda currently and it's compatible with acoustic x if you want to use that too. Arise is an advanced Android sound system with lots of options atm you can find the link in my op mate.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
How do you flash arise with acoustix?

Can you elaborate on the order and tweak prop settings?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Just flash it before arise but don't install Dolby, tweak props are changing slightly with numbers so just follow instructions includedin the zip you should be fine, if you use my toolbox tweak prop isn't an issue as my zip takes care of that anyway.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Okay will try and report back now

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

I'm running skydragon 1.5.1 mm with inbuilt zeroinfinity mod so I flashed the latest mod from him with the remove Dolby option and then the leviticus 1.3 followed by smeejaytee toolbox

Resulted in bootloop and had to dirty flash rom

Will try again with each step followed by a reboot to pinpoint the culprit
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
The culprit would be boomsound mate, you need hk or jbl. If your s_off flash the hk switcher if your s_on you will need srom or jazz rom mate.
[One (M8) General] Python.:
Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to install Arise at the moment. But, if I'm reading it rightly, I need S-Off. I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader on Venom. Is there any way to install Arise without S-Off? I've checked and I think the Venom ROM comes with Boomsound. Without S-Off, I can't use HK Switcher and I don't want to flash another ROM since I've set everything up/it's a daily driver.

In that case, what would be the best mod apart from Arise? One that I could install with my set-up. Thanks again smeejaytee!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm waiting on confirmation but I'm pretty sure flashing the switcher is safe enough for s-on as the adsp which is the dangerous bit will simply not flash because the partition it flashes to is not accessible for s-on, the only issue being that as the adsp isn't flashed you will not get the full benefit of the hk sound system but that shouldn't be much of a problem with arise installed
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
I thought as much

Will flash jbl since I'm s-off
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Good choice I personally love jbl.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]... Which if the Leviticus vers do you recommend if I should try one out... I've installed the latest last night but I'm not quite satisfied with sq over Bluetooth. I see specialeditons too and haven't tried any of them yet.... Can you also recommend a good tweak prop I'm into heavy metal, you know ?.

Thx in advance, mate ?

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Try the latest numbers mate, might want to do some reading there have been some minor changes you might want to catch up on.
[One (M8) General] Python.:
Can you link the HK Switcher? Or can I use any one? The ones I've seen mention that S-On will lead to bricking.

Thanks again for the help!
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
You cannot get either of the hk switcher to work on s-on

For a working hk switcher on s-on you need to flash either s.rom or blues rom

Those are the only available workarounds in your situation
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I don't want to cause anyone to brick their phone so only do what you feel safe with but s-on only let's you write to a few partitions of m8 and firmware isn't one of them so it shouldn't be able to cause any damage the installer would just skip the adsp, Ive read in the hk thread more than once that people with s-on have flashed it and had it working there was in fact a discussion about it if I remember correctly, id agree that srom is the best way to take advantage of the different sound systems as there is no worries in changing between them, I am waiting to hear back from somebody who will definitely be able to give me reliable advise on this so you may want to hold tight and I will report back as soon as I know.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
For s-on, s.rom is the way to go man

It's a good rom and worth flashing if you'd otherwise s-off for the sole purpose of hk or jbl
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Agreed srom is awesome, I'm trying to work out an s-on friendly hk switcher, this is my next plan so watch this space!
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
That'd be great for people like me who started with s-off for the switcher and then flashed everything there is to be flashed because they could on the phone from since the kk days :victory:
[One (M8) General] Python.:
No problem at all! Thanks for the help.

It seems like I might be able to flash HK without any issues but I thought it would be best to check first.

I know S.ROM is the best for this sort of thing but I'm leaving that as a backup option for now. I don't really want to swap ROMs, if possible, since I've set everything up. Titanium backup doesn't work with all my apps so I had to transfer data manually on quite a few things. I don't want to redo that. That's why I was looking for a S-ON HK Switcher method

Thanks again!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm looking into it mate, I wouldn't want to be responsible for you bricking your m8 but I'm pretty sure it's not possible for adsp to flash with s-on because that partition is blocked. Plus there was the whole argument that hk was working with s-on this was before srom so how would anybody know that without trying to flash it lol.
[One (M8) General] Leonira:
question:

Is dolby presets like hk/jbl compatible with leviticus?

what is the right order in flashing?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Leviticus uses another Dolby version there's no need to flash the old Dolby presets mate
[One (M8) General] Leonira:
then leviticus and tweakprop only.

thank you.
[One (M8) General] rudachmed:
Im S-On with Sprint H/K so what you would suggest me to flash [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]? ps: im using VenomRom 6.1.0. thanks
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Definitely arise mate, go with Leviticus out we're currently testing numbers.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Should be fine or you can try my feel the beats toolbox which uses setprop rather that tweak prop
[One (M8) General] Leonira:
whats the difference between setprop and tweakprop?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's just a safer method as it doesn't write permanent lines to your build prop and if there is any issues all you need to do is delete the setprop script from su.d and your build prop will return to stock, to check to see if the lines are active all you need to do is open terminal emulator and type getprop and enter and you'll see the active lines scattered though the list.
[One (M8) General] The Android Manual:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] can I use ARISE with JW 5.4 on boomsound or do I have to activate H/K audio first? :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Some versions work some don't mate, I like jbl so I usually just change to that before flashing arise anyway, I don't know about the latest numbers as on earlier versions I stuck at starting apps.
