[One (M8) Android Development] Faulker:
Still having stutter issues on 4.3. I've tried on 3 roms, with no apps (other than the music player). Clean install, install switcher, get stutter every 10mins or so. This was tested on Google Music and stock player.

To be more specific, when the BT drops the phone actually shows the BT device vanishing for 1/2 second and then reconnects. I've got this happening on 3 different BT devices, so pretty sure it's not the device. Flipping back to boomsound the problem goes away...but I hate the sound. :-/

Yeah, I waited a couple hrs & it worked. What a difference. Its a shame nothing can be done for the AOSP Roms. The sound is drastically different
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
I'm pretty positive that something can be done for AOSP ROMs. Like REALLY sure. It's just that someone has to take the initiative to do it. That person is not me.

Nothing is impossible. I'm pretty sure it could be ported. But it would take some very extensive work.

Could I get some help?

I got a british HTC One M8, these are the details:

Android 5.0.1

Sense 6.0

Software number 4.16.401.10

I want to know if I got the procedure right...basically I should do the following:

S-OFF the phone

Install TWRP

Flash the HK_BS_Switcher_4.3.0.zip

reboot and enjoy HK mod.

Is it right? Am I missing something?
[One (M8) Android Development] elandroido:
Sounds perfect...
[One (M8) Android Development] slimhunter:
Thanks for your answer! Only one more thing: for S-OFFing the phone I have to pay for Sunshine or finally we got a free alternative?

Thx again :highfive:

Have anyone tested on Viperone 4.5.0? :)

EDIT: It works, forget my question.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Thanks for testing!

I just abused the Venom Beta Team to test the existing Harman/Kardon mod to verify your findings. And guess what?

It freakin works with no further ado, just like you said. I never expected this.

I unlocked it for the 4.5.0 ROM on HUB so you can download it again (if you haven't saved it anyway) from HUB and flash ahead.

Please remember to flash the HK ADSP back if you have that reverted to BoomSound for the 4.5.0 ROM.

I am stoked! I did not expect this to go through without any work put in .

Enjoy!

PS: I tested it with my cheapo BT headset, with my Harman/Kardon AE-S earbuds and with the phone speakers. All seem to work. Sound is noticeably different. If its still better - well, I can't answer that. Still up for personal opinion. Anyhow. No FC's, everything seems to just work. Pretty awesome.

Thanks at [MENTION=4624131]Kratos90[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] for joining me in testing! Much appreciated!
[One (M8) Android Development] Jarras:
How will this affect the settings.apk file, since the one in the new 4.50 Rom is different?
[One (M8) Android Development] slimhunter:
Everything done!!! Now I see the option in the menu but...it says BoomSound instead of Harman Kardon! :eek:

Do you know how to change this? When I flashed the ZIP, I chose HK...
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
It works fine here, what carrier are you? It should still work for you, backup and test if you wish. H/K and boomsound both tested and worked correctly while showing in settings for me

Check md5 and reflash, HK shows up and works fine here, you're S-OFF correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] Jarras:
Verizon, and I did flash it already, and everything is working ok. The settings.apk was an afterthought I had afterwards and wondered if something would be affected I had not noticed yet.
[One (M8) Android Development] Kratos90:
All should be working fine, if you run into any problems make a report here. Enjoy :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Jarras:
Will do, thank you!
[One (M8) Android Development] slimhunter:
I confirm that I'm S-OFF, the Aroma installer offered me the HK option and I chose that, fully flashed and rebooted...but it shows the Boom~Sound (which WAS NOT available before)...any ideas? :P
[One (M8) Android Development] santod040:
Boomsound is default sound for all m8 devices...not sure why you wouldn't have it to begin with.

But typically if the MOD doesn't cause HK to appear, it's due to the recovery version that you used to flash the MOD, not properly mounting /tmp during install.

Suggestion: update your Twrp and try again.
[One (M8) Android Development] Roma80:
Hehe great to hear :)

I use the HK in combination with VIPER4Android FX - had never a better sound on my M8 :)

I've had Dolby boomsound on my M8.

It's just not included in a lot of Roms but I have had it. Stock update.
[One (M8) Android Development] smeejaytee:
A couple of roms in the early sense 7 ports left it in the rom but it wasn't working due to it needing the adsp but that is for the 810 chip from M9 and is not compatible with the 801 chip in M8, it could potentially brick our M8, that's why no roms have it anymore.

Libstagefright.so patched in HK_BS_Switcher_4.3.1

Just a little FYI in regards of the stagefright vulnerability:

The Harman-Kardon Audio-mod is essentially depending on the libstagefright.so file, so it packs the vulnerability in the currently stable 4.3.0 version.

Team Venom is soon dropping their patched 4.x ROM so you can have a secure system again (as far as I know Google's patch was for the lulz anyway - systems are still somewhat vulnerable after their patch but oh well..) but as soon as you would flash this mod over the patched ViperOneM8 ROM, or any patched ROM, the vulnerability would be back.

I have updated the HK/BS Switcher with the latest OTA files from Sprint HK 4.25.654.18. The libs might not be working with the carrier-specific BoomSound options. It should be working with the Harman Kardon option though. Since I cannot test on Sprint and Verizon phones, I cannot make a statement as to whether or not the "Back to BoomSound" options work for you guys.

I would like to ask for feedback on Verizon, Sprint and any stock or stockish GSM version other than Viper (clearly, I can test on GSM Viper myself).

Known as working:

- Harman-Kardon option (patches all but one vulnerabilities in stagefright, according to Zimperium check app - this is the official Google--> HTC--> Sprint released patch).

- BoomSound Option ("Back to stock") on ViperOneM8_4.xx

Most probably working:

- Harman Kardon stock :D (the libs are from that variant, so it MUST be working).

Needs Testing

- VZW: back to BoomSound

- Sprint: back to BoomSound

- GSM: back to Boomsound

DOWNLOAD: HK_BS_Switcher_4.3.1_test2.zip

Changelog:

Stagefright patch from Google/HTC/Sprint

Audiofiles (other than libstagefright.so) updated where aplicable

Questions?

Question: "Where did Google apply the stagefright patches?" Answer: In the file "libstagefright.so" in /system/lib.

Question: "How did you patch the other carrier's BoomSound options if you only have the HK file?" Answer: I inserted the HK libstagefright.so into all carrier back-to-stock folders, because at Team Venom, we got the impression that it works well with BoomSound and all carriers (CDMA and GSM).

Flashed Harman/Kardon on a M8UL with LeeDrOiD One M8 S7 V7.4.3 and Clumsy Kernel made for LeeDrOiD V1.14 yesterday and at the moment nothing wrong happened.

Watched some videos on youtube and twitter and everything ok.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Well all files in the mod are from Android 5.0.1/2 and I'd very much expect problems if you use them on Android 5.1.1, but then again, why ask? Why not just make a backup and then test? Restore your backup if it doesn't work.

This is a development thread. Not a Q&A after all.

Feel welcome to share your findings for other users to benefit. Thanks.

Flashing switcher 4.3.1 to ViperOne M8 4.5.1 worked fine for Verizon when choosing the GSM option in Aroma.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Why would you chose GSM on VZW though?
[One (M8) Android Development] david black:
I didn't notice a difference choosing Verizon when I'd toggle HK on and off. Noticeable difference choosing GSM in Aroma and no issues in settings.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Presumably, looking at your work for team venom, you're on Viper, right?

For that, you pick the Viper option no matter what carrier, anyway.

So yeah, makes sense lol. Just realized I have forgotten how my own mod works.
[One (M8) Android Development] david black:
That's correct, but I've previously had to choose Verizon in Aroma for HK mods. Just wanted to let other VZW users know that mod v4.3.1 works fine on ViperOneM8 v4.5.1 (choosing the Viper/GSM option).

And of course, I wanted to provide you VZW feedback :angel:

[One (M8) Android Development] santod040:
Known and documented on other sources online.

Will need an updated patch from Google/HTC to take care of the remaining vulnerability.

All of the patches they are putting out currently, still have the one left to resolve.

Nothing that we can do, but wait for another update.

This fix for stagefright http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62723129&postcount=3289 working fine with viperone 4.6.0, but with Harmon cardon (adsp 56.2.2) songs doesn't play.After switching to boomsound with original adsp and reflashing again stagefright fix everything works fine.

Any advices?
[One (M8) Android Development] santod040:
Until Sprint issues an updated patch "again" for HK variant, you have two options:

1.)

Full/latest stagefright fix using the libstagefright.so that patches all vulnerabilities along with using Boomsound only

or

2.)

The patch/lib that came with the Sprint HK update, which misses one vulnerability but allows HK to function. (included in the latest update to this mod)

Choice is yours, but there really is no other advice to give on that for now.

[One (M8) Android Development] santod040:
You need to update your TWRP to a newer/latest version.

Your current recovery is not properly mounting /tmp, so the changes to default.xml aren't being made.

[One (M8) Android Development] Xapier:
Great job, h/k works like a charm on my Lollipop M8!! Love it.

One question:

Does the Boomsound variant grant BS via Bluetooth? It was disabled by HTC long ago.

Anyway - awesome sound quality with h/k. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
It only does what HTC intended.

It basically copies the HK functionality from the Sprint Harman/Kardon Edition to regular M8 versions.

When restoring, it tries to restore exactly the stock configuration of BoomSound, so i guess, the answer would be no.

Please be aware that we do not do any modifications to sound. We only ensure a smooth way to switch between two native HTC functions.

In order to tune your sound, you may check out more relevant projects, such as ERA, Lyapota's mod and various others. Sorry i am not familiar with sound mods on XDA, never looked into them. I can just recommend XDA search.

Notice to everyone: i edited Post #2 with how i would like this thread to be treated, using DevDB. Please take note.

Thank you.
[One (M8) Android Development] Xapier:
Thanks a lot for the quick reply - just wanted to get sure.

H/K is a huge improvement to Bluetooth sound anyway. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Yet i have normal BT Audio performance.

Compare of devices would be a first step.

I am running a Dev Edition device turned into 0P6B1000 HTC__001 with 4.16.401.10 Firmware and ROM based on it (ViperOneM8 4.2.0 as of now).

Bluetooth files are not modified in this ROM and neither are BoomSound and HK files.

I wonder what is different in your phone.

Would you be willing to switch to the same software and firmware to check out if it makes a difference? I mean if you can. If you have a GSM phone.

[EDIT]

Tommy, the thread now has a Bug Reports tab. But we can sort this one out here now since its started here.

Future bug reports might better go in there to keep them sorted for me as a reminder-list. I suppose discussion of them will still be here though.
[One (M8) Android Development] frankcck:
No problem.

I'm AT&T version which is very similar to Dev Edition I believe, superCID, 4.16.401.10, and ViperOne 4.1.0.

It's very similar to your situation.

However, I've attached the log few post above when I was playing music through Bluetooth with stuttering sounds. It was more seriously when I turned on LiveStage effect.

Thank you for clarifying..I'll try this out when I get back on sense fw tonight. I've never actually used HK or any of its other associations.

[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
CT looked at the log, so did I now, briefly. Bluetooth is being mentioned in the context of libbinder.so a lot and CT pointed out that we had used it before, in an older version.

the other libs, libc for example, is mentioned too, CT reckons are not really primary to this problem.

I'll do a proper differentiation of Sprint and SprintHK on sunday to find the missing libs.

That might fix bluetooth.

BUT: i have to say i am sitting here since 2 hours now, listening to my favorite new album with my BT headset and its loud, well shaped, clear sound. Not ONE stutter since. The phone is in standby since those two hours, working with LPA like it should, draining little juice and giving brilliant sound. I don't see a bluetooth problem.
[One (M8) Android Development] frankcck:
I've used the same equipment since Android 4.4.4 and if I plugged my phone to my speaker, there's no stuttering sounds.
