Fully Working Harman / Kardon "conversion" for all HTC ONE M8 variants!-discountinued
WARNINGS - READ before you proceed further!
- Does NOT work on GPE, put Sense on it and it will work
- Users with stock ROMs (especially US), if your base number is 1.1x then H/K won't show in your settings because it simply lacks the code. update to a newer base or flash a custom rom
- it is recommend to have S-OFF
- do NOT attempt this on m7. IT WILL BREAK YOUR PHONE!
Installation
Depends on your luck you might also need S-OFF to fully benefit of this hack - i say might because depending on your firmware you might need to update ADSP (Advanced Digital Signal Processor) as firmware as well and for that you need S-OFF.
If you are S-ON and feeling lucky grab View attachment hk_enable_v3.zip and flash from recovery. it will only enable H/K in settings and update the rom files for it
If you are S-OFF grab View attachment hk_enable_and_adsp_update_v3.zip with all in one zip solution. it will do anything from enabling H/K in settings to updating ADSP.
For uninstall grab the zip from the bottom of this post
Troubleshooting
ISSUE 1: I've flashed the zip and after reboot I do not have HK in Settings!! HALP!!!
Reason: Happens because you did not have false line in system/customize/ACC/default.xml so script did not find it so it couldn't replace false with true
Solution::go to /system/customize/ACC/default.xml
search for and just it below it add:
true
The final result should look like this:
Reboot. Profit!
ISSUE 2. I have HK and everything but when i play mp3 in HTC Music app i hear nothing. HALP!!! you broke my phone
Reason: Happens because you need to update your adsp (Advanced Digital Signal Processor) firmware.
Solution: You should have flashed View attachment hk_enable_and_adsp_update_v3.zip but i repeat you need to be S-OFF for this, if you are S-ON afraid you are out of luck
ISSUE 3 I did everything and it still doesn't show up on my Verizon M8
Reason: Happens Because Verizon uses a different settings.apk.
Solution:Grab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54272102&postcount=940 and flash from recovery
ISSUE 4 I did everything and it still doesn't show up on my phone
Reason: Happens Because you have a stock 1.1x base rom on your phone which simply lacks the code for HK in settings
Solution: update to a 1.5x base rom (custom or stock)
