thank you so much.. I really appreciate the help. :) I set it back to 0% now, and finally I'm getting the results that I wanted to. :)

just one more question, is there really a huge difference in quality of those 3 drivers? I'm currently using the High quality, and thinking of switching to the Super(?) one. and I'm thinking of the battery consumption.
[Android Software Development] They Drew First Blood:
SQ v. HQ v. PS

Go ahead and read through the last few pages of this thread to get more info on that, for example:

So depending on your headphones/earphones you may want to stick with High Quality rather than Super Quality if you are concerned with battery consumption. It is simple enough to uninstall/reinstall the driver and test the differences yourself, too. If battery life is higher on your list of priorities than audio quality, than go with the Power Saving driver. Even the PS driver sounds pretty great, I think. :good:

I can NOT listen to my music without these irs files! Thank you very much for your hard work!!
[Android Software Development] Gamer015:
I only have a pair Skullcandy Ink'd with me (and a pair of pretty decent ears) so I guess I'll stick to HQ for the moment. I really want a pair of Sennheiser heads, but it's a bit off for a schoolboy in terms of the price. lol.. and my pretty old SGS2 can survive a day in school with that HQ driver so I guess I'm still good with it. :D though I'm really looking forward for an S4 because of the CPU and RAM. :D

I hate to ask this here because its for IRS files but the information and replies are invaluable.

I'm using the OP settings for my Hesh headphones with the exception changed to Common Headphones even when using earphones and it is AMAZING!

However I listen to my JBL Flip Bluetooth speaker a lot also. I noticed he uses the same settings for BT speaker. I'm not sure it sounds as great as it could. Could someone point me in the right direction for setting up my BT speaker?

[Android Software Development] DornoDiosMio:
The bluetooth may sound worse due to a known audio bug on Android version 4.2.x, it is resolved in 4.3 and beyond. Basically, the bit rate for the SBC audio-codec is set a bit lower than it should be and they increased it in the 4.3 update. So, you have a few options if you are still unhappy with the sound.

1. Switch to an AOSB version of android which will be 4.4x most likely. This will give you the 'fix', which sadly, can not be done to stock 4.2.2. EDIT: I mistakenly thought this was in the LG G2 subforum, so this specific bit only applies to those with that phone. Your phone may have an update beyond 4.2 that is stock based, if you like stock.

2. Switch your phone to using apt-x codec, which allows for better quality than standard bluetooth codec. The problem with this solution is you will almost certainly need a new bluetooth. Check my post history and you will find a thread/post where you can enable apt-x and a list of apt-x enabled headphones. REQUIRES ROOT to enable apt-x

3. The crappiest of the 3 options, don't use bluetooth and rely on a wired solution.

Personally, I did not want to wait for the 4.4.x update for the LG-G2 and I figured the apt-x will sound better anyway. Whether or not I will even notice the difference is debatable, especially with lower kbps MP3. I doubt I personally will be able to tell the difference after the SBC codec bitrate bug is fixed. Right now the difference is night and day even w/ 128kbps MP3 files. Statement based on other posts I've read regarding G2 and apt-x. My Apt-x bluetooth arrives in 2 days.

Remember to check my post history if you want more specific info on the device I purchased and a list of all apt-x enabled BT devices. Also, remember you must have root to use apt-x. It requires changing your build prop to enable it on a AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile at least with the LG G2. Not sure about the others.

Hopefully this was not too off-topic. Good luck finding a BT audio solution you are happy with!
[Android Software Development] metaphz:

[Android Software Development] They Drew First Blood:
irs for speaker output

Assuming that you are still looking for an irs file that will also boost the output volume- I would say Ambiophonic Preset 3 or Dolby Pro Logic II 1. Both of these files can be downloaded from Post 1. I think these two have the best quality among the boosted-volume irs files. The Ambiophonic and Dolby presets each have a few other boosted files to try, too. Just cycle through them until you find the one that you like best over your speaker.

Ambiophonic Presets (studio)

Dolby Studio Presets (pre-release)

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

If you're not looking to boost the speaker output volume and are interested in audio quality, I would recommend the T-Racks files. In particular the TRacks Compression file, which is one of my favorites. Seems like everyone ends up with a different favorite, though. Honestly you should just cycle through five or six of them and find which one sounds best to you.

Tracks Presets (studio)
[Android Software Development] devasenan200:
can't say in words..using dolby pro logic ll 1 in galaxy tab2.really impressed with sound quality...one doubt? using this mode,if we hear it in maximum volume,will it damage the tab speakers?
[Android Software Development] They Drew First Blood:
speaker damage

I'm pretty sure that [MENTION=3901724]zhuhang[/MENTION] has said that the ViPER software would not allow damaging volume levels to pass to the phone, but I would just make sure that the louder you start raising the volume that you are not hearing any distortion. If you start hearing distortion then I would back off on the volume a little bit, since I would be worried about speaker damage at that point. I use the FIREqualizer setting Bass Reducer when I raise the volume up, because the bass really stresses my phone speaker. I have a Galaxy S Captivate.

TRacks DeEssed Master 1 not working with the new V4A 2.3.2.6 :( ..... as a matter of fact no TRACKS irs are working with the new V4A versions .... when you change the convolver nothing happens ...... but they are working with the old 2.2.1.1 .... thats why i don't want to use the latest Viper4Android because TRacks DeEssed Master 1 really improves audio quality alot!!!!! .... can you make it compatible with 2.3.2.6 as well :)
[Android Software Development] bclark:
It's definitely based on Rom, they work fine for me on the latest version.

I have had them stop working, have you uninstalled the driver and then removed the app and started over clean with it?
[Android Software Development] qazishehryar:
I tried on two different roms and its the same ..... TRACKS Dessed Master 1 is my favorite but it has no effect on audio in the latest versions ..... i'll try another rom to see if its the rom issue or otherwise ....

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

NICE IRS .... Definitely improved BASS and pumped volume by little bit .... i listen on very low volume though :)
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
I have always said that too, but oddly enough they are now not working on a ROM they previously worked on before (exact same build). Using the latest Viper they don't work for me either. Sadly this isn't going to be fixed but I appreciate the time [MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] put into making these and enjoyed them while it lasted.
[Android Software Development] Siddhesh:
Yes same here some irs are not working with the latest V4A
[Android Software Development] BSDgeek_Jake:
Already asking this on FX thread. Let Dev respond. Since IRS files are the same but the App is changing/upgrading constantly, there might be possibility that some functions are disable or removed from the App.

you all can follow the post here.

I TOO loved my IRS so much that i cant let it die. I never found this level of High Quality IRS Work anywhere so far... So... The Journey Continues...
[Android Software Development] Vino Kulafu:
One relief for me is that BBE Generic Preset 2 works, whether V4A is installed as system app or not in KitKat.

It's probably one of the best IRS out there. I hope your other IRS can be someday used regardless of installation.

[Android Software Development] dinaps86:
is VIPER stored as a system or a user application? (go to titanium backup application click on second Window where it lists all apps scroll to viper click on it swipe left go down to convert to user application ) sometimes tracks master 1 and BBE2 don't connect on the first click just click on the the #2/#3 and than go right back I had the same issue Don't store as system app don't even put it on u r sdcard thru androids stock application menu
[Android Software Development] BSDgeek_Jake:
As per the Google Android API 19 /system/ is reserved for OS apps so that system integrity and security is maintained, /priv-app/ is used for other apps with system-wide privilege separation. This means all third party apps should be copied to /priv-app/ location for system functions or root access. My FX is working fine and m able to load all the IRS but now many of them have sound stuttering and this is directly related to App and Sound Layer, since sound samples are processed and directed towards sound abstraction layer. I am waiting for the Dev inputs...

[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
Thanks for that explanation. I have always had Viper in the priv-app folder and it works great. However that has not helped get your IRS to work for me. A select few do work for some reason, such as Dolby Pro Logic No.5. Maybe there lies the key. What did you to for that IRS that may have been different from the others? There has to be something to that IMO.
[Android Software Development] BSDgeek_Jake:
All IRS are created using the Following:

SoundCard ()

Software INput

Software OUTput

CPU and Memory ()

and we get an IRS file. There is something ??? which is not accepted in the recent version of the APP or the Android Sound Layer. Or may be the IRS files are encoded in so High Quality parameters that its out of Apps functionality capabilities. In the End i feel the IRS are wasted. Lets see what the Dev says. I will also keep seeing the software code which might be the contributing factor. Recreating the IRS and Releasing it will take some time and ofcourse when time allows.

Lets See...

[Android Software Development] Hedied4me:
I really wish to get rid of this stuttering. How do I use entropy? I usually put viper in the data/app folder but it sounds like the data/app-private folder is better. Am I understanding this correctly?

sent with Tapatalk on a HTC Desire 601 zara_cl
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
No, you want to put it into the system/priv-app folder and fix permissions. Any third party apps you want integrated into the system need to go there. The data/app folder is for user apps, which is fine for many apps but Viper works best as a system app so it will run all the time and not get killed by android memory management or task killers. This may or may not resolve the IRS issue depending on the ROM you're using.

Far as the "stuttering", I have found factors such as the kernel used and the ROM affect that. If you are getting stuttering while running other apps especially, I'd try another ROM or kernel, or both.
[Android Software Development] Hedied4me:
Ok, thanks. I didn't see a system/app-priv folder so I'm assuming it has to be created.

sent with Tapatalk on a HTC Desire 601 zara_cl
[Android Software Development] ArtfulDodger:
In that case you must not be running a KitKat ROM then. Place the Viper app in the system/app folder for 4.3 ROMs and lower.

Thanks for the responses guys; I am on 4.2.2 for now.

Something in the threading of the driver is wrong... Now seems like it needs more than 2 cores... But I doesn't activate more than 2... just forces the cpu to higher frequencies
[Android Software Development] BSDgeek_Jake:
Right. It started when the dev introduced Quad/Octa core support at 2.3.2x. I think threading and process sharing is not corrector implemented in FX, specially for SQ and HQ. Might be he be working and fixing it soon...

What is a real bummer is that IRS/convolver does not work at all while the viper is in system/app folder. Viper works and is processing, just no convolver. But if I put Viper in data/app folder the convolver does work but causes stuttering. This happens on both my HTC phones.

No convolver/IRS no stuttering. Weird.

[Android Software Development] BSDgeek_Jake:
Thanks for using my IRS. You don't have to install the apk but just copy paste to '/system/priv-app' and that's it. I am not sure of '/data/app' and never recommed that, since '/system/priv-app' has the highest priority over any root method. I generally use JetAudio and sometimes NeutronMP or DFX.

Hi [MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION]

I really appreciate your irs so much but when the v4a been updated it does not work on my phone running kitkat. I already placed the apk and fix permissions at priv-app folder as you stated and still your irs won't work but other irs work..any suggestions to this problem?

Thanks for the hard work.
[Android Software Development] thoiloidainhan:
Well its a known problem for some times. U have to install v4a into /data (ie the normal way) for these amazing irs to work but u r going to risk v4a being killed resulting in a super annoying listening experience
[Android Software Development] ravenwing_15:
BSD said to put the v4a to /system/priv-app for kitkat users and he confirms that all is working, just want to ask what to do when I'm still experiencing irs not working after doing those instructions..do you have any idea?

Thanks for the response by the way.
[Android Software Development] thoiloidainhan:
Yes that's right i mean user app. Every phone is different and so is the behaviour. What u described is exactly the same as what I experienced. Try it yourself and see if it works. I'm no expert myself, just share a little from my experience
[Android Software Development] Xphoid:
İ can confirm that the whole thing is working by simply installing the apk.. İt will install itself with setting correct permissons to /data/app...that is to say user app...
[Android Software Development] BSDgeek_Jake:
Looks like every KitKat is behaving differently. It should be in "/system/priv-app" but many users are saying that user app install is working and excluding it from the memory killer will solve the issue.

Try different options till you get the results... thats all i can say.

May be Android 4.5 will be more friendly and responsive.
[Android Software Development] ravenwing_15:
Thank you for your opinions, I'll try installing it as user app then since I've always installing v4a as system app.

[Android Software Development] harabinger66:
I have it installed as a user app and have 0 issues. I did have some issues before I allowed VP4 to disable the low power audio. I think that may have jacked things up. Smooth sailing since on my Note 3.

Really appreciate the IRS work here. Been using Viper for awhile and really only recently tried out the IRS; what a difference. I tried Mr. Z's 128k free IRS which depressed me. After trying your HQ I've found my music Zen. On the low quality IRS it seemed like it was running all my HQ tracks through a LQ filter and the result was rubbish. HQ or bust.

Still trying to figure out which IRS I like best. Tracks Master, Tracks Compression, and URei 1178 are in my current rotation.

Thank you so much for your hard work here. The attention to detail is quite apparent; and much appreciated.
[Android Software Development] Siddhesh:
Try this and tell me if it works

Just install v4a as user app then install drivers and restart after that convert it as system app using titanium backup

This solved the convoler issue for me on my Xperia Sp CM11
[Android Software Development] Vino Kulafu:
Sigh. As of latest version, only BBE Generic Preset 2 works with V4A installed in priv-app in KitKat (thank heavens that it does :victory:). I've tried the TRacks series but these don't work.

I wonder when will Viper fix this issue.

:cyclops:

Edit:

DFX series also works, with the above-mentioned installation.
[Android Software Development] BSDgeek_Jake:
i don't know y most of the users are not able to make it work and hear the difference since the IRS are the same 'yesterday today and future' only the Viper FX is getting upgraded. As per my testing on Samsung S2 S3 S4, Micromax A110 A210, Mototola G, everything is Good to Go. Driver is working and all IRS are Loaded and Processed. So this means that's Exynos and Mediatek processing is Good to Go. Qualcomm i have not tested.

ROM and custom kernel is another main contributing factor for the 'Not Working' issue. Since i can't test all the ROMs and Devices, users are requested to chk app thread for possible solutions.

hope... Viper FX dev will fix it asap make it compatible generally.
