Anyone know if there's a way to flash Beats Audio to our M8's? The Harmon/Kardon and bass boost doesn't sound nearly as good as my M7 with Beats. Thanks

Beats audio already exists in the operating system. You need to be rooted to edit the default.xml file to change beatsaudio=false to =true. There is a thread explaining how to do it in the General Sprint HTC One (M8) forum. I've tried Beats, Harman Kardon and Boomsound, and they all sound the same. I suspect you are just not going to get the same bass out of the speakers as you did from the M7. Seems to be a hardware issue, not software.
The lib files for beats are not there.

It's just one lib. Pull it from the M7.

Yes.
But you won't get any headset options or notice any difference in sound.

I thought Boom Sound was supposed to be mini speaker loud? I notice the Beats Audio logo but my volume hasn't been spectacular. Is there a setting I'm missing, perhaps?
The example of use:
This morning, the new Man Of Steel trailer dropped and I was attempting to show off to my co-worker but it just wasn't very audible. Only air conditioning was blowing so we were pretty disappointed. You Tube streamed the trailer fine it just wasn't loud. We tried my Play Music and it wasn't loud either.
The HTC One is firmly in the VERY LOUD category.
Too loud in many instances. Have you, like, turned all volume controls up in settings?

It's the loudest smartphone speaker, either your phone is defective or your volume controls weren't all the way up.

I agree with you 100 percent we had an iPhone fanboy I was trying to showed off also and he wasn't impress ...I started another thread you can search for it and people are saying the htc capped the volume on 1.29 update and the 1.27 firmware is the loudest ...ofcourse say that to the htc one fanboy lol ...it amaze me there are dumb people can't understand what you are saying ..oh well you correct tho there are some of us that knownabout these issues on the htc one. ...by the way don't let me get started in the in call speaker volume ..not loud at all... Perhaps we need to flash 1.27..I bought this phone thinking it will blow me away on the volume dept guess not lol

I was wondering the same thing. I have not been blown away by the speakers on this phone. I got the 1.29 update almost immediately after the first boot so there is no way for me to know what it was like before that. Have you managed to find a workaround or a way to go back or enable the full volume of the speakers???
I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me at least my volume and sound quality were both excellent with 1.27 and 1.29. I often put my phone down while playing music and it fills the room. It's still miles better than my friends s4 and zl. I have to think though that even if some are having volume issues (perhaps the notorious QC issues don't just apply to the build quality), at least you're still gaining the huge advantage of stereo vs mono sound

Someplace, and I forget which forum this was in, a guy found the values needed in order to revert the sound back to as loud as before the HTC update. It was in either Faux123s kernel thread, the ARHD thread, or, Trickdroids thread. I'd advise scanning those. The only thing I remember about the post was it said change the values from 40/40 to 45/45 instead of 60/60 like some guy asked if he could do.
Or maybe that video just had very low volume anyway? Youtube video volumes are NOT normalized and if the vid was soft to being with, Youtube will just stick with that max volume. Nothing you can do with it.
Boomsound is advertised to not only be loud, but to be full as well without the screeching highs and nonexistent lows of other devices.
I've seen a couple zips around the forum for BoomSound I havnt tried them yet but I'll see if I can find em and post them here
http://db.tt/ro9I8C1Y BoomSound zip
http://db.tt/XvIHQ5UK improved BoomSound zip
I would backup before trying these so you can restore if it has negative affects or if you want to try both.the improved BoomSound is a little smaller than the first file
I don't remember where i downloaded these from but I think it was arhd forum.
I did not make these mods and take no responibility if anything happens to your phone I just posted here for convenience

doesn't make any difference flashing either one over 4.2.2
The zips contain /system/tfa folder from 1.27.xx builds which were based on 4.1.x hence it reverts to same sound on future 1.29.xx builds when flashed
However, in 4.2.2 these files are different and since we do not have any LOUD firmware from 4.2.2 nothing to replace ...we are stuck with what htc gives

Yeah kinda sucks... Miss my old boomsound volume
Played same YouTube video with my unrooted One and friend's unrooted S4. Louder on S4 even with mine on full volume and front facing speakers. Audio files aren't particularly loud either. Still on 4.1.2. Expecting a little more boom.

Hello,
I just found out that when you switch the "Beats Audio" off in settings, you don't actually get a flat EQ. When you have it off, it EQ's the sound to drop the lows and highs, so that when you turn it on, you think, "That sounds so much better!" I'm an audiophile and this pisses me off. Does anyone know how to completely uninstall Beats Audio? Is it in the kernel?
Thanks,

Have you tried a ROM cleaner? I've installed a few ROMs that do not have Beats, but none were completely functional.

I would honestly love an AOSP or CM or AOKP ROM, but the only thing I would miss is the Sense 5 camera. It has too many features to give up. That's why I want to know how to uninstall Beats. It's probably as simple as changing a few system files, so if anyone knows what to do or where to look, please post here!

Couldn't find it. But it may be somewhere.
I tried digging through a bunch of folders to find files with "beats" in the name. Found this: http://www.motion-coding.com/web/contact/uninstall_beats.pdf . Only some of the files I found not in the folder they say but in /etc. I deleted the ones that existed there and nada. I also found one file with beats in it in the /system/lib and deleted it and nada. I also tried unarchiving the settings.apk from system/app and seeing if I could find something to do with beats. I found this in the AndroidManifest.xml.
"com.htc.permission.useHtcSoundProfileServices-com.htc.permission.useHtcSoundProfileProvider"
Dunno if it has anything to do with beats or what you're supposed to do with it. This seems hard to do. But I'm sure it's possible. Someone with experience please help!

I think htc music enhancer is the beats, I'm not sure if deleting it gives you the flat eq or the cut eq..

Tried deleting that from /System/App and it did nothing. :crying: I think that just has something to do with the stock Sense music player because it has the same logo as the music app.

I never specifically stated that I hate beats or anything to that effect. I simply want to be able to choose whether I have my music corrupted or not.
And, you don't hear how it detrimentally affects your music unless you listen through quality headphones.
Bump.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Anyone?
Are you sure that having Beats off cuts the mids and highs? Because when I turned it off they were appreciably better, although that could be a) the headphones I was using and b) that the bass boost on Beats is much too much for certain types of music and so even if it does boost the mids and highs you don't notice it.
I think that it does although there is no way to know for sure, but I still would like to completely remove it.

Just keep it off. Or you can use the Phillips Headset app! It actually works quite well in conjunction with beats if you put the right settings
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Beats is a gimmick by making the OFF mode sound like garbage and the "correcting" what it messed up in the on mode. I ran a file consisting of pink noise through it and can honestly say the off mode does exactly what the OP says. For this reason Alone I will not update my AT&T GS3 to KitKat via the new OTA. It has the Beats Audio virus baked into the ROM and I haven't figured out to scrub it from the ROM. Not only can I not scrub it but it renders the far superior Viper4Android FX useless. I will not buy a phone that has Beats preinstalled... Ever.

This method that i used works but in order for this method to work you should have taken a backup of the following before installing the beats audio driver backup with twrp and when you want to uninstall the beats audio driver just restore your backup with twrp it worked for me
your backup should contain the following before installing the beats driver
1) system
2) efs
3) modem
4) boot and
5) recovery
i cant guarantee you that it works
if you want to try this method you can but your responsible for the damage of your device try it on your own risk
i am not responsible if anything happens to your device
Is it possible to port/build HTC One's stock Beats Audio to an AOSP rom? Some have pointed me to DSP manager and/or Codex Sound, but I find those to be far inferior to the stock Beats....no comparison whatsoever. Any help on doing this would would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone at least know where to find the files in which Beats Audio resides?
You can use ViperFX or something like that. I forgot the name. Hold up... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Yea, that's the link. That MOD is pretty good when it comes to equalizing music, but it's not good for speaker equalizing. Mainly because it's suited for all phones so it doesn't want to blow out phones with weaker speakers. LoL!!
Sorry, but I can't help you with your 2nd question on where Beats is located. What if it's in the HTC Framework? I'm not too sure how all that works, so I'm just given ideas on location.
Here is the 'Beats' apk and also it decompiled.

Google DSP manager beats settings and you can set a custom EQ to sound like Beats. I personally used that when I was running CM and it sounded just as good as the stock.

That might be a waste of time as the stock Beats files probably require Sense files to work off of.

Thanks to you all for your advice! Much appreciated! I tried adjusting DSP and codex and I can't get it to sound nearly as good as Beats on a Sense rom even with suggested settings that are meant to replicate Beats. I listen to a lot of music & LOVE beats; I also LOVE the customization and freedom AOSP roms deliver but have never been able to get the best of both worlds yet. I'll try awesomebeats and the Beats apks....and if all fails, I'll try killman's suggestions again and report my findings. Thanks again all!
Hi, its been said that the Google Nexus edition comes with beats as standard, so whenever it plays sound it is benefitting from beats. Obviously we won't know until its out but there's something to think about for the future
Because AOSP does not have the beats interface standard there is no switch like sense

No problem, HTC just made the volume lower because of too many blown speakers. try disabling Beats and see if that (volume) works for you.
