[TASP] The Absolute Sound Project : Making Love Not War - BETA 13b [StereoFX BETA 2]

Moderator edit:

VISION

:

The Absolute Sound Project is the audiophile's all-in-one one stop shop audio enhancement for the rooted Android OS.

The purpose of TASP is to give everyone the best sound experience possible on Android. There are other mods that do it just as good, if not better. The goal of TASP is to unite the end-user so flashing six different sound modifications becomes a thing of the past. TASP utilizes parts of many different audio enhancing modifications out to create the best experience for music on the Android OS, while adding its own personal touch to increase the overall quality of the VISION.

This mod is for the people, by the people. If you wish TASP to not use your work tell/yell at me via private message in a civil manner (we are adults) and all traces of what has been utilized for TASP from your modification will be removed. If not then you are probably already in the credits. If you are forgotten then say something. No big deal.

We are all adults. TASP wasn't created for myself, but for everyone else like myself who flashed mods like eXtremebeats, EOF EX, PureAudio, Project ERA, LolliViper, HK, HTK, etc. No one wants to flash eight different mods.

TASP is universal. Be together, not the same. Making love, not war.

- It is not recommended to use any other sound mod

- This mod deletes any previous versions of ViPER4Android, AudioFX, DSPManager, and MusicFX and replaces it with a custom V4À specifically catored to Material Design as well as android 5.0.2 users (see credits)

- 5.0.2 friendly but should work on KK

- Includes Dolby Surround & DTS Processing

- xLOUD, Harman Kardon, Beats, sforce all included

- [Alpha WIP] Creates a stereo effect for your device speakers (ie your galaxy s5 will play sound on your front earpiece and back speaker). I removed this because of the bugs

- Clean flash of your ROM with no other sound mods is recommended, especially since this is beta phase. If you have another mod installed I will ignore your bug reports

This mod is in BETA. I'm in the debugging process for several devices. If you're going to test this mod do not have other sound mods installed and be willing to support the debugging process (logs, tests, etc). Please support me with your device name and manufacturer and your experience(s) with flashing my mod (after a clean install of your rom).

HTC/Sony/TW devices are currently a hit or miss. Some find it works, other do not. Feel free to try it out though. AOSP/CM should work like a charm.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

:

1). Clean install your rom with no other sound mods installed. You can dirty flash your rom, but clean install (recommend) is always better (getting rid of orphan data)

2). If you're going to install another sound mod, do so before you flash mine (not recommended)

3.) Your phone needs to be rooted and SuperSU needs to be installed

4). Install the latest version of BusyBox

5). TWRP is the best recovery out there and is always recommended to be used rather than Philz/CWM/etc. Some users are experiencing trouble with errors (usually permissions) during the flashing process, this should theoretically fix that issue

6). If you're using 5.0+: download Selinux Mode Changer and set Selinux mode to permissive

7). If If you're using 5.0+: go into your rom's Developer Options and uncheck "Use NuPlayer". Some users experience compatibility issues with NuPlayer not working with V4A/Dolby, others do not. Better safe than sorry

8). Flash [TASP™] The Absolute Sound Project™ : Making Love Not War - BETA

9). Don't forget to WIPE! (cache/dalvik)

10). Reboot and enjoy the love making to your ears

NOTE: If Dolby or V4A don't work for whatever reason, flash the compatibility patch below as a final measure.

About V4A Compatibility Patch:

Flash the patch only if V4A/Dolby effects are installed, but not processing in some media players such as Spotify or Pandora.

THE ABSOLUTE SOUND PROJECT CHANGELOG

: DOWNLOAD

18/02/2015 - BETA 13b:

- ViPER4Android XHiFi - (to force 32-bit audio) - is now included. I highly recommend using this at default settings,with Audio Reconstruction, and "Vocal Booster" FIREqualizer settings enabled, especially of you like your clarity/bass

- Compatibility fixes

- Added init.d script to force selinix permissive

- Upgraded, replaced, removed, or downgraded broken libs

- Added PON-3 libs/effects

- SRS, sound image, vpt, DTS, and SFORCE changes

- Kept the "bass heavy libs" the same so don't say your bass punch is reduced

- Several dynamic behind the scene changes that I can't remember at this moment

[COLOR="red"][B]15/02/2015 - BETA 12:[/B][/COLOR]
- Changed alsa driver (no longer using [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] alsa upon his request)
- Changed Dolby config upon request of [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION]
- Improved compatibility
- Updated all stock ROM effect libs with newer versions
- Added back in asound
- Less treble, more clarity

[COLOR="red"][B]14/02/2015 - BETA 11:[/B][/COLOR]

- New effects such as normalizer and updated libs/effects such as VPT
- SRS, sforce, and alsa backend files
- HTC compatibility fixes
- Sony effect improvements

[COLOR="red"][B]12/02/2015 - BETA 10:[/B][/COLOR]
- Reverted a few SRS libs back to BETA 7 version because of loss of bass "punch"

[COLOR="red"][B]11/02/2015 - BETA 9:[/B][/COLOR]
- fixed v4a build prop lines missing
- updated spectrum libs
- added, changed, and updated more libs
- much greater difference in sound quality

[COLOR="red"][B]11/02/2015 - BETA 8:[/B][/COLOR]
- should fix HTC bootloop
- newer maxxaudiolibs
- build prop typo fixes, changes, and additions
- fixed mic not working unless in a call
- update binary script adjustments
- SRS, Sony, and sforce changes
- overall sound improvements

[COLOR="red"][B]07/02/2015 - BETA 7b:[/B][/COLOR]
- minor update, hence the "b": mostly build prop typo fixes and changes

[COLOR="red"][B]06/02/2015 - BETA 7:[/B][/COLOR]
- compatibility update: fixed the "No sim" and not being able to connect to the internet on some devices
- removed the pon3 libs that conflicted with installing the V4A drivers normally
- a few minor fixes and changes

[COLOR="red"][B]04/02/2015 - BETA 6:[/B][/COLOR]
- reverted a good amount of changes that were in BETA 5 and kept the good changes
- removed audio_policy.conf for the time being
- added updater script dolby permission lines
- updated or replaced outdated libs with the newest available
- re-added a few libs
- reverted audio_effects so bass is deep like BETA 3 & 4 with mid-high clarity range
- dolby should no longer force close. If it force closes you should still have the effects, it's just a symptom of different roms/devices/variants

[COLOR="red"][B]31/01/2015 - BETA 5:[/B][/COLOR]
- improved touchwiz, slimkat, cm11, and more HTC sense compatibility
- changed updater script a little.

[COLOR="red"][B]31/01/2015 - BETA 4:[/B][/COLOR]
- changed and restructured a few audio effects
- removed sony hearing protection audio effect
- added Samsung Touchwiz 4.4/5.0+ compatibility
- testing custom audio_policy.conf and v4a build prop tweaks. I need feedback on this one. If you don't have audio effects on v4a try setting all the v4a Tweaks in build prop to "false". Report back to me if you have to do this. This should fix the problem people have had in the past where no matter what they do, they can't get v4a to work normally with all media players
- updated sound alive libs
- other small tweaks
- cleaned up some unused libs

[COLOR="red"][B]29/01/2015 - BETA 3:[/B][/COLOR]
- sounds better than it has ever sounded thus far. Deep and high bass sounds good. Tested acoustic music, dance, electronic, dupstep, metal, rock. All sound more amazing than previous versions

- more srs tweaks and added some additional srs effects
- other changes/fixes
- more compatibility fixes for some HTC Motorola, and Sony devices (hopefully)
- added asound back in (test)

[COLOR="red"][B]28/01/2015 - BETA 2:[/B][/COLOR]
- Added a few Build.prop entries as well as changed existing ones
- tweaked srs config
- other changes/fixes
- compatibility fixes for some HTC and Sony devices (hopefully)

[COLOR="red"][B]28/01/2015 - BETA 1:[/B][/COLOR]
- Initial BETA Release

————————————

I recommend a clean rom install (preferred) but a dirty rom flash should do it(to get rid of deleted files).

ALSO if you end up not getting sound, uninstall the v4a audio driver, reboot, reinstall driver, and then reboot again and it will fix the nosound/no effect issue.
