so anyone know what happened to the anthrax kernels? chads thread is locked and the download links are empty so whats the beef? why did he all of a sudden disappear?
he got a cease and desist letter from two sources... I think it was on the Beats by Dre audio and the Qualcom, but not sure.
He's busy re-releasing kernels w/o beats that are based on the HTC stock kernel code... the 3D just got it and my bet is the 4G will get it in a bit.
Check the EVO 3D forums, you can find the story in his new kernel thread

well that sucks... :/ good thing i snagged the sense kernel before he took it down.
Unfortunately we won't be getting anymore kernels based on anything other than HTC source. Anthrax is amazing, runs so smooth. Glad I hang on to files like that. I'm sure Chad can work wonders with the HTC source also. He's pretty good at what he does.
I haven't tried it yet cuz I've been stuck on AOSP now that I got my phone to like it and not randomly reboot, but I did manage to snag a cpl versions while it was up something was just saying download now b4 its gone and ill be damned if the next time I checked it was pulled for good. Something was just telling me it was gonna get pulled with the beats stuff I've seen alot of crap online about c&d from monster and more specifically related to the beats code lately just glad I snagged it so I can give it a try, the last rom I had with beats sounded like crap and supposedly this kernel is the key to making it sound like it should, although having a beats audio processor and beats headphones with my PC I'm not all that impressed. My Bose noise cancelling headphones sound better across all music genres where as beats sounds really good for pop/dance/rap/hip-hop/r&b but rock and lower bass music it sounds off to my ears I kinda wish I'd just bought the new Bose headphones instead of the beats tbh

I don't invest too much into all that. I would imagine based on previous experience that BOSE would sound better. To me Beats is a waist of time. More of a "Hey, look what I have on my OG Evo". Anyway, I hear Radiance RC2 with anthrax has good beats output. I stick with DSP Manager. Don't have much use for headphones.
Yea I was kinda disappointed in the beats cuz I listen to all kinds of music and I have to keep changing settings between songs so something like sweet home Alabama doesn't sound like it was remixed into a rap bass beat after a rap song plays it gets tedious having to keep swapping equal settings, whereas my Bose I set it to live or full bass and treble and everything sounds good on one setting, I got the beats headphones cuz the laptop has a beats audio processor and its supposed to pair up the best but i find myself using the old Bose wireless noise cancellers and disabling the audio processor settings more often than not I use winamp with its equal over the beats player

So is the anthrax kernel only for sense or can I use it on cm7 or evervolv Rome?
cowboy up
PM me and I'll send a link to the last Anthrax build w/ beats. (Sense Roms only afaik)

Yeah...Just like the title says.
Because i tried custom roms now but i found that the official rom had the best performance so i don't think that it's worth using a custom rom now.
Unless you guys can recomend a good rom with the same performance or better?
And will there be an official CM? (because i read somewhere that there were some issues with the exynos cpu documentation)
My brother said that Official CM is being merged in a few days.

I'm on the latest PA nightly built, haven't run any benchmarks yet, but it seems to me that performance on games it actually a little bit better (at least definitely on the new nfs game). And there's some big update coming kernel/drivers wise that will increase it noticeably (so I've read).
Cheers.

Mmm, the camera is a kernel problem, there's a patch to solve it, and audio wise, well, the routing of sound from the mic of an external BT headset is not working, that's a known issue, and I'm having of shuttering audio when I listen to music with the BT headset I [email protected], not but not on the car, so I guess there's something going on with the emitting power that makes small receivers struggle keeping up with the signal.

Where can I find this patch?
What bugs me the most about these threads, is the fact that many users obviously don`t know how to use the search buttton anymore or are just too damn lazy to do so. Common sense also seems a problem, as you could have known 4.2 for the Note 2 will be released first quarter 2013. After the first official has been released develeopment will start and the CM team wil start right after the scource codes are beeing released.
So I'm wondering if I should root/s-off and change from Boomsound to Harman Kardon since I heard HK supposedly have higher sound quality.
I don't use Boomsound when using headphones since I use a pair of ATH-M50 I just think it make the sound worse.
However, I would like to know if HK have better sound driver and quality, even with Clari-Fi or LiveStage turned off?

Personally I think Boomsound sounds better. Boomsound (to me) makes the instrumentals sound better where as H/K makes the vocals sound better. How I formed this opinion is via rap, specifically Eminem. The base and other instrumentals sounded far better on BS but with H/K vocals were more clear. Either way both are quite good but expect a moment of "what the f?" if you switch to H/K, the difference for me made me think H/K sucked but after a bit of using it I adapted and it didn't sound as bad...that is me though, maybe not the same for you.
Also root/S-OFF is definitely worth it, go for it!

I found that somewhat true and false at the same time.. Depends on musical taste and the way you like your music via a EQ.. Personally I prefer H/K with viper audio. Of course that's from a metal head. I listen to a lot of melodic death metal which has different progressions and incorporates almost every sound you could possibly make. Its all a personal preference, depends on musical taste, the way you prefer EQ's and all that good jazz.

I prefer HK... Boomsound seems to somewhat "muffle" the sound. All my music is 320kbps and they seem to lose clarity on Boomsound. HK > Nothing > Boomsound. Make sure to disable LiveStage if you use HK... It just sucks.
I would take hk anyday. Still it's down to personal preference. So I can't give much comment about it. Boom sound u would get tons of bass. Hk you would get dramatically drop in bass but have better clarity. Which I think using speaker with hk isn't something you would notice much. But with earphone it does sound better for me.

I'm actually not a fan of either, though Boomsound does make a difference with the internal speakers. (which is probably why you can't disable it) However, my biggest gripe with the H/K mod is that it is really a hack, not a mod. It will very likely quit working if you upgrade to Android L until someone comes up with a new procedure and set of files after the update, and unless you are very careful, the odds of bricking your device are high. Also, since it will definitely kill OTA updates, you will have to undo it to get the update. Just not worth it IMO.
However, I tend to not use the EQ very much unless the source material really needs it. I typically run with a flat EQ curve, or, if anything, maybe a slight treble boost.
The sad part is that CyanogenMod's DSP manager does most of what the H/K mod does, only better and without hacks. It's too bad you have to give up Sense to run it...

The H/K is just replacing the main ADSP with a modified version. If you're really running stock, have a recovery, then get H/K you're better off making a nandroid, flashing a stock based ROM and running it.. If you REALLY want an update you shouldn't have modded your phone and flashed a recovery to begin with. Whenever you flash a ROM again it replaces it with boom sound. With the update to L... How do you think we got H/K in the first place? Scolser I think the name is, and baadnewz are great devs and can more than likely come up with H/K again for L.
With you really want DSP on something besides cyanogenmod, just run V4A. It has a LOT more options.

I myself like when the sound is neutral. I never use Boomsound when listening with headphones.
My question was if the HK version gives better sound quality, even if I don't use clear-fi and live stage.(I also never use EQ)

I wasn't trying to insult anyone, and yes, I know how to install it. I also know how to revert back to the point where I can get OTA updates. I wouldn't be here if I had a problem with flashing software on my phone.
My point was that I personally didn't feel like the juice was worth the squeeze. It changes the audio, and maybe for some source material it works out, but overall I just didn't get the impression it was that great.

It varies per song/artists/how it was produced. Like when I kick in some Amon Amarth, tool, or heaven shall burn and turn on live stage it gives a good sound. But then I turn it on with my pink floyd, or deftones, it produces an okay sound (still always have clear-fi on). For each different song/artist/album I change back and forth. I usually always use Clear-fi, as it really does return a clear and more pure sound in my opinion.
I also noted that the HK "Clari-fi" option's effectiveness seemed to vary widely based on what you were playing. With some of my ambient electronica, and similar instrumental tracks. it really helped give it a bit more of a clean sound. With other music, like chillout lounge stuff, it varied widely, with some tracks sounding significantly worse, some much better, and some just "different". Jazz didn't really improve much at all, while rock sounded marginally better with boomsound and a touch weaker on HK.
Also, and this was a bit weird, I had some tracks that sounded like they had static in them (crackling), which went away if I turned live-stage on (or turned off the HK mod). However, the very next track wouldn't have any of that. It's probably a fault in the MP3 encoding that the DSP was accentuating, but it was kind of odd.
At any rate, I opted to go back to stock as a result. Boomsound generally never made anything sound worse, so it was safe to leave it on and not muck with it no matter what was in the playlist.
Boomsound . Boom.

I'd take it a step further. Do you think all the folks running custom roms on here have stopped updating their devices? There are ways to get the firmware updates, so that shouldn't be a factor.

Repeat: My point was that, IMO, the mod wasn't worth the effort or the mess, and that if you weren't an experienced user, I'd suggest staying away from it. Largely because there isn't an "easy" way to switch if you don't like it (Yes, I know it's possible, because I've done it), and the risks are somewhat high if you don't know what you are doing. (brick potential)
It's sort of like running through a mine field to get a box of stale twinkies. However, that's just my opinion, as I didn't care for the effect at all.

Just a question. When was the last time you ran it? Were you at the point where you had to flash it through fastboot/RUU mode? Or the one where you can just flash through recovery? This isn't being mean, I was just wondering. Because the sound from the fastboot/RUU mode to the recovery one, sound changed tremendously!

Both.
However, just to be fair, I tried it again last night using the latest recovery zip. Within minutes, I noticed the artifacts that made me dislike it the first time. Some of my favorite tracks have a lot of crackling in them when I turn on the Clari-fi option. Turning off the enhancement cleared it up always, and turning on Livestage cleared it up for some. I kind of doubt a bad flash, as it behaved the exact same way.
Unfortunately, the mix I typically play the most on the daily commute turned out to be one of the worst in terms of the strange static. It was completely unlistenable. Now, it could just be that there is something in the way those files were encoded that makes them react poorly to further DSP processing, or something else, but it was clearly audible. However, I will admit that for some tracks, it did improve the sound a fair deal.

I see where you're coming from.
I think it really boils down to what exactly you like in terms of music. I think it will be drastically different for everyone. I use both V4A and H/K at the same time. With the mix, when I don't like how songs sound, I go into V4A and change the EQ, bass, and clarity. To each man, his own personal preference.
