The only thing i can do to it - is turn on codec offloading (what i'll do for sure). But eq's might not work, cause we are deleting all of the possible audio-coloration fx parts in the system, i guess that apps eq's are working in tandem with stock fx. If we move them back - the whole idea behind Nero will be lost. That is why i wrote at OP, that Nero might lead into problems with some ordinary stuff. I suggest you to try Pandora in this case, i don't use any eq's, or something, but Pandora is more system-friendly.

[Android Software Development] gehess:
Has anyone tried Kronos out with orchestral music (say, orchestral soundtrack recordings like Rogue One or something), and if so what improvements have you noticed?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
I'm sure you'll hear instruments & nuances you've never heared before, just give it a try ;)
[Android Software Development] raylogic:
I just flash Pandora V3 (Samsung S5 SM-900F) over the top of DDP & V4A Deuteronomy 2.89-3. I see no App, the sound is definately different now! Hmmm was that the eight thing to do or is the idea to run Pandora clean without V4A?
[Android Software Development] :
Pandora won't install any app, so it's fine if you don't see any ;) It's stated in op that Pandora is working fine with v4a. And of course nobody can help you to find the "right thing", especially with sound personal preferences are very different...
[Android Software Development] raylogic:
So they all work together complimenting each other rather than complicating the audio processing?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Currently I have V4A and Dolby Digital Plus installed. Going by your instructions and faq, should I now just flash Kronos, delete dalvik cache & reboot?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
Kronos seems to work, i.e. it makes music playback quieter, but I can use volume levelling in Dolby + to compensate for that.

However, perhaps it works too well. :) It also seems to make phone calls, ringtones and other phone sounds so quiet I can't hear them (and unfortunately I can't apply Dolby + to phone calls).
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Lol. What is the device?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
HTC One M7_UL (SuperSU v2.79 SR3) :cool:
[Android Software Development] inflames91:
Hey [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION]

It seems as if both Pandora and Kronos are entirely incompatible with the OnePlus 2

Pandora reboots without completing installation in recovery and Kronos installs but doesn't move past the OnePlus logo

Edit: just saw Kronos is for HTC devices only!
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
Pandora has a reboot script, so it will appear to just reboot in the middle of installation. It doesn't take long to install and reboot
[Android Software Development] inflames91:
Oh did not know that.

Thanks!

Flashed Nero for the time being. Will check it out on my Beolit 15 soon. :)
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
Best of luck. I've never had an issue. You won't see any new options or apps, but you will notice the sound difference
[Android Software Development] :
Most of the error reports could be avoided without that reboot command. I've suggested that already months ago. Except that minor issue Pandora is a great mod. I am wondering: Are there any plans to further develop Pandora or is the max optimization already achieved? ;)
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
I am now dealing with some work stuff & into some personal tests + releasing addons. The major update might be released somewhere by the end of may (maybe).

Sauron will be released as a beta, I am planning to add special compatibility to some devices & polish intelligent installer. So by the end of summer we'll focus in systemless version installer. This is how i see roadmap now.

Hi [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION], you are talented, you have your own threads and you have your followers who truly appreciate your contribution to Android sound mod.

Hi...

Is the universal version "pandora" rework audio policy as 24 bit?
[Android Software Development] mohand06:
Arkamys doesn't work on stock S3 JB 4.3. Any workaround? There's a flashable zip AKAM? but the app keeps fcing.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
There is no way to do that with Pandora.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Did Arkamys ever worked for you?
[Android Software Development] mohand06:
Yes, checked in matlog but fc nevertheless
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Did you try deleting it from /data, /app, reflashing the zip & reinstalling the app from /app? This is what helps me & several other people.
[Android Software Development] fhLan:
I think the previous version is more stable. And I still using it

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

And also could you please explain each of arkmys's presets? I would greatly appreciate it
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Eeehm, i thought names like "PopRock" speak for itself:) what can i even add to it...
[Android Software Development] fhLan:
I mean like what's the differences between number 16 and 17 or 10 and 11? I don't even know what you did with bypass presets. Or maybe you can explain like, 16 have more stereo effect less crosstalk?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
I didn't make any measurements for those & i did nothing with bypass or any other presets. The only thing i did is overall volume tuning with another file. Can't explain since this parametric is crazy, dude) As far as i can see 16\17 presets are equal, but maybe there is some magic behind sfx library, idk.

[Addon] Dirac

​

"Dirac HD Soundï¿½ enhances an audio systemï¿½s ability to faithfully reproduce sound by examining and adjusting for the problems inherent to mechanical devices. For example, by correcting an audio systemï¿½s impulse and frequency responses, the technology can transform what began as a distorted sound stage, feeble bass or poor clarity into a pristine, dynamic sound experience."

Note:

Software effect port won't work on Oreo and above. Hardware Hexagon should work on Oreo+

Installation:

Software Dirac addon (probably WON'T work on Oreo+)

Hexagon HW Dirac addon (Qualcomm only) (might work on Oreo+)

Uninstall

Simply flash the zip one more time

What previous version? Link?

I had arkamys working on LineageOS, I want to have it working on stock JB 4.3 enforcing.
[Android Software Development] raylogic:
Dumb question - flashed, rebooted, how do I know its worked..
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
You'll hear it even on unlock sound throught speakers from the very boot up if everything is ok, search "dirac" in logs.
[Android Software Development] fhLan:
Will it work alongside arkamys?
[Android Software Development] cybugz:
Hi sir.. thanks for the reply..

What would be the effect when i install this audio mod using pandora in sound quality?.. I tried to flash it on my phone, after flashing it, my phone reboots.
[Android Software Development] M Huzaifah:
It has reboot script, then it's normal.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
This one should not, ported dirac won't let you do that, only if your system already had another dirac, it might work. This one is like an Icepower - blocks other effects rendering. This is what it looks like on paper, but you can try & see for your device)
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Installer script reboots the devce - that's ok. You will hear a pump in audio + "you'll start hearing details in favourite music in places you never heared before" - this are words of users from both 4pda&Xda.
[Android Software Development] tinjaladaniel:
[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] and other guys, since you are crazy for the sound quality, I want to know the features of the HTC 10 audio hardware (since they are impossible to find on the network).

Now, the most important questions for me:

1) You have purchased the HTC 10 for its audio capabilities and then you put hacking to improve the sound, or you'll buy simply because you liked, and then you have set out to improve audio quality ... I would understand if the purchase was focused in view to have the best existing audio quality on the market, in your opinion.

2) If you could go back, would you buy it again?

I ask you all this because I don't know whether to wait HTC 11 (Ocean) or purchase the "10" model.

I thank you enormously and excuse for my english
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
he doesn't own the 10. but I do. and stock audio on the 10, is far superior than other devices. sure dolby is not the best, but even without dolby and just let the DAC to it's job, it's very very good.

i think you should wait till the 11 is announced so there will be also some comparisons between the 10 and the ocean/11. but if you don't have a lot of money and can only afford the 10, go with the 10. this phone is the perfect allrounder, especially after the update to nougat.

and there is always room for improving something, but it's difficult to do on the 10, as it is already very good. On the 10 forum you can find another mod by my team-leader [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] if you don't want to mess too much with system, as his mod only tweaks the dolby preset config, nothing else.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
I own htc m9, not 10. Htc & Sony has the best audio out-of-the-box in terms of Qualcomm Dac codec imho, but that doesen't mean that you can't push it any further. There are phones like lg v20 & axon7 with full featured hw Dac's but it doesen't help audio quality at all. If anything on both sw&hw parts can be tweaked for better audio/camera/stability/battery - it's better being tweaked imho) A guy from Ainur team just bought htc 10 several days ago & compared stock audio with Kronos - he was amazed by what modded 10 can do in terms of audio. Manufacturers are lazy, dude, that's why we are here to improve particular parts.

Personally i'm waiting for 11 for one major reason: snapdragon 835 with updated Aqstic & Camera features, that is not necessary in terms of everyday use, but as developer/modder i'm interested in digging new features & capabilities. Another thing HTC might put in Ocean in terms of audio - DTS SRS features, the way they did it with htc bolt & htc U ultra. I suggest you to wait as i do, if there would be anything "wrong" with Ocean 11 - you always can step back & buy htc 10 by obviously reduced price)
[Android Software Development] fhLan:
I've tried and there wasn't any force close. But I didn't heard any difference, so then I install dirac again but without arkamys, and there was no change just like when I use arkamys with preset no.10 or 11
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Weird, anything in logs? Gonna check installer later today. Dirac doesen't work for me paired with Kronos & i can't currently go back to stock to recheck, but when we were porting it with my friend- it either broke audio completely, or was working flawlessly. That's why i called it unstable thing.
[Android Software Development] fhLan:
I'm sorry can't give you log as now, and yes the audio still working normally. I just don't hear any difference. By the way, arkamys's natural presets, are they also don't change anything?
[Android Software Development] tinjaladaniel:
Dude, everytime you have a crystal clear speach :D. By the way, you have a method to analyze objectively the audio quality through the 3.5mm jack? In this way I will be able to pull out the numbers, graphics, etc. to see if my cell brings out the best. You know, the audio quality of my smartphone (Meizu Pro 5) in my opinion is very good but I wish it was not the "orange juice of the supermarket", while the real orange squeezed was somewhere else in order to evaluate whether or not should I change it.

Fully agree with you on the fact that manufacturers are slackers.

Although on paper is good, I do not know if it actually comes exploited properly, given the small spreading of the phone and its very small community of developers here on XDA.

I wish it was not a placebo effect due to the fact of knowing that has certain characteristics, while the real Hi-Fi was somewhere else. As you suggested too, it is useless to have high-end components if you do not make full use with the software ... which is actually my fear, at least if I do the measurements I'll know if they are founded or not.

Thanks again and I hope that it was not boring.

Where do you find those presets and how do you make them work? Has I missed an Arkamys UI somewhere?

[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Pro5/pro 6 are really good devices with nice audio mate, i didn't dig into those, so can't say how much room is left for experiments. Sadly, i don't have proper equipment for measurements, the way chdloc does. if i had something i would make measurements for pandora & nero already, compared to stock)

This is amazing - Note4, rom Emotroid r23.1, 6.0.1 + viper(on)/atmos(off).

I am not sure, if i am deluded, but clarity/quality of sound is just great now.

Literally, after installing Pandora I fell off (not) my chair when I launched AIMP.

Now - should I go for the Nero?

I already cut ANY other sound enhacements from the system, but viper.

Could Nero save battery usage in relation to Pandora?

btw, best wishes for 4pda forum, been there since 03.03.09 :)
[Android Software Development] lordc:
If your original fx chain effect was offloaded you will detect less battery savi g due nero disambles any offloaded fx or just the offloading decoding.

If your fx sound chain was software only and your player did not use offloading or at least deepbuffering playing maybe you feel a bit diferent (less cpu cycles due the absence of fx). You should realized that nero force to decode the audio on cpu and not in the adsp.

Only offloaded fx and decoding are really battery saving.

This is my undestanding off the audio on android and maybe i wrong

Dirty Flashed my rom (Resurrection Remix nougat 7.1.1) on my HTC One M8, then flashed Kronos, then wiped dav cache. With Kronos successfully flashed, I lose all sound (volume control, calls, youtube, everywhere where there would be sound). I reflash the rom and I have sound again. Am I doing something wrong here or is it the rom I am running? Anyone else have this problem?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:

[Android Software Development] Pesty_Pupil:

[Android Software Development] xo.en:
Thank you for your response, mate, appreciate that.

Yes, I have similar way of thinking.

But, still, damn, since I flashed this thing, I am sitting on (not) my chair and, damn, it works.

I tested jazz, classic, electro swing, techno, noise, industrial, folk, even punk rock, and more types of music, everything sounds fuc.king awesome so far.

Of course, mp3 is the ****, but, i.e. Thelonious Monk from FLAC files( I have no idea HOW the hell someone made so clean versions from the originals) sounds GREAT.

I even have some more beer, but I have no time to consume it - music and that beer, damn.

I will twrpback my system from before, then I 'll check Nero. If it will work...great.

DEEP respect for author of this awesome solution.

Thanks, locdrc, stay safe.
