v5.4.0 (N8)

Today is my 23rd birthday.
Since you guys are spread all over the world, we can't have a couple of drinks together...
So instead of buying a round, I give you an update for the most popular device on my blog... the N8 ;)
(what a geeky way to celebrate, somebody please hit me with a shovel!)

"The One N8 v5.4.0" is ready for download.
Details about this version are in the changelogs, as always...

Two things I would like to say about this version:
1.
I removed the "more ram for apps" mod by satiro. I am using it without any problems on my 808, but it doesn't seem to work very stable on the N8.
The mod is not entirely gone, I replaced it with my own settings for ram management (same as in my v4 CFW). I am hoping to get more performance and stability by that.

2.
I also removed the Dolby Headphone effects, they were ported from Belle FP1 but seem to cause a lot of problems.
Some of you complained about the audio quality (especially clarity and bass) in v5.1.
I changed some parameters in v5.2 which made it better, but not good enough for you...
v5.3 seemed to be satisfying for most, but some still reported issues with ring tones, headphones, accessories (like bt headsets and speakers), etc. not being loud enough.

I hope its now fixed by removing the Dolby headphone effects. And by applying the full anna parameters, I hope we are back on the high quality we had on "The One v4.x".

Enjoy my CFW and let me know what you think via comment ;)

  6. Happy birthday Daniel! I can`t believe you have made another version of your fantastic The One CFW. Thank you so much. I have not tried your new CFW yet, but I`m sure it will bring the best sound quality so far.
    Thank you The One!

  7. Hi Dan,
    Happy Birthday!
    I flashed my N8 couple of days back after 6 months with v5.3(Last version was v4.81)
    In last two days... yes there were problems with sound however I used the same way of copying sound improvement mod & anna parameters for headphones as well as loudspeaker.
    And sound quality on my N8 is far more clear better than Dolby on HTC One X.(Analysed my self with SONY MDR E818L earphones)
    Sound quality is at par. Everyone should see what N8 can deliver with The One CFW.

    Dan once again thanks very much man..

    1. thanks mate!

      i am offering to much files to mirror them all. and free hosters are a pain in the ass for a project like this...

      create a free uploaded.to account and use a download manager for easier downloads

  16. Thanks TheOne, question can you describe how I best update from 5.3 to 5.4?
    I am very happy with your FW in general. Some freezes urge me to want to update.
    Further, in "Drive" I cannot select destinations from my address book.
