Well, it's not every song.... The files I recently ripped to flac, I believe the album art is embedded into file, and they are all ok. The mp3's from amazon and what not appear to be fine. The older mp3's that I ripped seem to be the odd ones. It's weird that the art will show in full screen but not in notification...

Kitkat update on AT&T

I really love the viper4android audio effect on my phone. I recently updated my phone to kitkat and maintained the root. My question is does this mod work anymore on the new kitkat update from AT&T as I want to install it and use it. Has any one comes across issues on kitkat?
[G2 General] alex72:
You're perfect candidate. Not many people are on rooted stock AT&T Kit Kat G2. Try it and let us know.
[G2 General] alex72:
Thanks to [MENTION=1699161]rodcpierce[/MENTION] who tested stock rooted AT&T d800 4.4.2 with ViPER4Android I did it as well. I installed ViPER as system app in system/priv-app folder without busybox and build.prop edits. I set permissions to rw-r--r--. Tested it with Google Play Music and GoneMAD Music Player and everything works without hiccups. Only "negative" thing to report is that [MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] irs don't work when V4A is installed as system app. I tried TRacks, Dolby and QClone sets and none of them works. Oh, well, it's not end of the world because there are other quality irs out there.

EDIT;

I missed [MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] irs very much so I installed ViPER4Android as user app. All, previously mentioned, irs work and no other problems to report. Tested with same music players as before.

I used [MENTION=4218641]AndroidUser00110001[/MENTION]rooted stock d800 4.4.2 ROM to update from AeonFlex 3.0.2 (twrp 2.6.3.3).

[G2 General] alex72:
Do you have Busybox installed? Build prop edits won't stick without Busybox. Look at post #218 for details. If doesn't work try different music player. I'm on 4.4.2 and it works without build prop edits.
[G2 General] Valiceemo:
Yes busy box installed.

I've changed the build.prop as I said above. So your advice is try a different player... Like I said in my previous post....;)

Anyone got any useful tips I'd like it go work in the stock LG player.

LG-G2 / Android 4.2.2
[G2 General] alex72:
Just do clean install again. You skipped reboot after uninstall and before last build.prop edits.

So, uninstall driver first than FX app itself, reboot, install latest version, choose preferred audio driver, reboot and enjoy.
[G2 General] Valiceemo:
Thanks. How do I go about uninstalling just the drivers

Is there a way to boost the sound level using viper. In other words boost the volume
[G2 General] nismology:
It's best to do it manually outside of V4A. Are you running an LG or AOSP-based firmware?

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Yea my favorite Dolby irs isn't working. It's a shame too because it's very flaky as a user app in normal mode. Compatibility mode brings its own set of issues too. :/
[G2 General] vipercoyote:
I'm using the stock rooted kit kat rom... What should I use?
[G2 General] nismology:
I do believe I've found a workaround for V4A quitting during certain activities and having to reenter the app to get it processing sounds again. This is normal (proper) mode I'm talking about.

App settings [xposed module] -> Viper4Android FX -> switch to on -> tick the 'resident' box -> press save icon -> agree to apply settings -> exit app and open V4A. It should now be persistent and apply effects at all times. If not just restart the phone...but it should work.
[G2 General] mannequin:
viper has an xposed module?

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

yes, there are few ways to boost the sound level using viper and you don't have to use any other tweaks if you know what are you doing either. for example, for the Phone Speaker option there's an extra gain setting called "EXTRA LOUD", etc. you have to experiment with them depending on your source and listening environment, just remember not to over do it and take small steps.
[G2 General] nismology:
The module is called App Settings. It can tweak several different things on a per app basis.
[G2 General] mannequin:
ah, got it. i read your sentence wrong the 1st time.
[G2 General] nismology:
No worries. It works extremely well too. I used it on my 3rd party launcher and zero redraws no matter what I have going on.
[G2 General] vipercoyote:
Is there one for the headphone? i looked but didnt see anything
[G2 General] mannequin:
sure. try Playback Gain Control, EQ and Master Gain.

[G2 General] nismology:
I don't know about you guys but when I use my phone to play music in the car without editing the snd_soc_msm_Taiko/mixer_paths.xml files it really struggles. Raising volume in V4A doesn't help much because it starts drop out and volume levels go up and down like it can't handle the output. It's hard to explain but is an undesireable result. I've had much better sound when after editing those files. It's like the DAC on steroids versus just raising the software volume.

cpugeeker: I'll hook you up with the write-up in a bit. I'm at work right now.
[G2 General] mannequin:
aren't those files tweaks do exactly the same, raise the gain levels?
[G2 General] nismology:
It would seem so at first blush but they are definitely not equivalent in their effect.
[G2 General] :
What rom are you using? Tried this same method on Houstonn's PA (vs980) and it still loves to redraw. Thanks!
[G2 General] nismology:
I'm on CarbonRom but this should be firmware agnostic. It literally keeps it locked in the foreground so unless the memory is critically low it should remain that way. My launcher has never redrawn in the several days since I discovered this. Are you selecting your launcher then selecting 'resident' then pressing the save icon? Please PM me the answer so we can keep this thread's discussion focused on V4A. Thanks! :good:
[G2 General] :
Completely understand, thanks. I forgot to mention that the same issue was happening with V4A, before swiping away the app would cancel the V4A service.

But clean flashing and following your directions now keeps V4A resident. Good stuff :highfive:

In order to use LG stock music player and some other music apps (while on 4.2.2) you need to edit build.prop files. Instructions are in post #218. If you don't wanna mess with it, just use different music player, like GoneMad music player.

Having some issues and I cant find some specific help to my problems anywhere in the thread. I am on a VS980 with Viper installed on Liquid smooths rom. I use spotify for streaming music (I have unlimited data...might as well make vzw hate me for it) and what happens is itll randomly stop "boosting" my music. I have the newest version of SuperSU installed as well as the newest 4.x apk for viper. On different roms in the past I have been able to just go back into viper and it would kick back on no problem. On liquid I have to do a full reboot to make it work as checking or unchecking enable doesn't fix the problem. Ive tried various combinations of deleting the app, reinstalling, force enable, compatible mode etc....Any ideas or suggestions?
[G2 General] mannequin:
you can try 2 things: make ViPER a system app OR use xposed module App Settings and check the box "Resident" in the settings for ViPER within that module.

Viper allows way more control and better sound quality than what PowerAmp has built in.

does it increase notification volume also as notification volume is too low in crowded places.
[G2 General] JRJ442:
If you run it Normal mode yes. If you have it to run it in Compatible because of whatever ROM you're running...no. There's a mixer path.xml (on Kit Kat) you can edit that will increase speaker volume across the board as well.

TuneIn Radio

After having a quick scan of the thread I can't find anyone getting it to work with TuneIn. I presume that hasn't changed?

Also, has anyone found a decent setting for the speaker? Something just to smooth out its tinny nature would be good.
[G2 General] alex72:
I'm on stock KitKat and stock music player works with ViPER4Android. Installed as user app. Try to uncheck and recheck Master Power Enable. Sometimes it helps with stock music player while on KitKat. If you are on Jelly Bean you must edit build.prop files to get it working with stock music player. Regarding TuneIn Radio, only way to get it working with ViPER4Android is to install ViPER as system app but if you're using TRacks, Qclone or Dolby Logic IRS files you're out of luck because they don't work in this setup. In attached picture you can see my speaker settings where I put emphasis on vocal and with optimized speaker.

Hope it helps.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
what should be the maximum output gain i should set so that i dont blow my speakers.

1 more think i would like to know which drivers to install to get maximum with less battery use as super audio quality warns a message that it may drain battery

thnx for the mp3 file but still its low i made a loop also for it 3 times :(

even i checked smart ringtone setting in sound to increase volume in noisy environment.

in ur output gain u have set it to -4.4 it should be in + i guess ?

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Kindly check my settings and if i need to improve something ? any driver change or something ? i have super audio installed
[G2 General] JRJ442:
[MENTION=3015498]mor_1228[/MENTION]

Yeah I have mine to -4.4, I bumped my speaker volume in the mixerpath.xml and I felt the music was a little loud if it wasn't set to that. But you'll wanna keep yours on the plus side. Just bump it up one or two at a time until you think its at a good level. But honestly if you're in a busy area with lots of noise its gonna be hard to hear any ringtone unless its super loud like the one Alex posted.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
I modified some settings and created a ring tone and Increased its db to higher levels let's hope it works now. I will test this when I will go to play table tennis in evening. Lots of noise there.

I increased master gate to 6db but after testing 6db and 4.4db sound same so rolled back to 4.4

1 more thing I would like to know that super audio quality eats more battery?

If yes then what's the alternative driver to get same speaker output with battery saving?
[G2 General] JRJ442:
I've never tried the other drivers. Our devices chipset is really good with power management. So I doubt they'd make much of a difference with us. I've read some say using the battery saving (or whatever its called) driver equates to a 2% or so per hour savings while listening to music, at the expense of sound quality. That's very minimal and not worth the difference to me. But if you want to save some battery you could try one of them I guess.
[G2 General] mor_1228:
actually i installed this mod just because i wanted loud speaker sound for notifications i dont listen to music at all my headphones are still sealed in packing
[G2 General] JRJ442:
I doubt you would see any difference then with the battery saving driver. I'd leave it as is for a bit.

and these settings here, change select effect strength to extreme, max gain to inf, and max output to 0 db

Hi Guys - wondering if you can help!

Been using V4A for a long time now from it's early versions. It worked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 but on my I9505 it gives me some glitches

- first of all on a Samsung-based ROM I could only get it to work with Deezer or mp3 media on my device, not with Google Play Music (streaming)

- since I switched to a 4.4.2 Kit Kat CM11-based ROM - it works with all applications but every now and then (about twice per song) it does some small "robotic" skipping, almost like the noise when your computer crashes while playing audio, but only for a split second.. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also trying all 3 drivers - and not using a convolver etc.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

-mcall_r
[G2 General] alex72:
Try Seeder app. It might solve your problem. Search xda for it. If you installed ViPER4Android as user app, use App Settings (Xposed module) resident option. Hope it helps.

Edit; Before you try anything above, install ViPER4Android as system app in priv-apps folder. Usually, it helps with stuttering and skipping.

[G2 General] alex72:
Just try with clean install again. Something got messed up, probably with busybox. So, uninstall driver first then FX app itself, reboot. Install ViPER4Android as user app, start the app and choose preferred audio quality driver (grant root access in pop-up window of SuperSU), reboot. If you don't have SuperSU, get it and replace your superuser because SuperSU plays better with ViPER4Android.
[G2 General] trungbeo:
I do have SuperSU, try several times. Busybox is working fine.

By the way, I don't have option "uninstall" the driver (it's never been installed really). It may come from somewhere else...

Okay. Uninstall ViPER and try to install as system app. If driver fails to install again I suggest to use previous version of ViPER4Android. Here's direct link.

[G2 General] iowabowtech:
As mentioned in the OP, superuser was being flaky for me. In fact, it was VERY strange because I just realized I wasn't being prompted for root access to any of my root apps. Even though I could use Titanium just fine? Anyway, I wasn't getting anything to work in the sound mod until I switched to SuperSU. Now I'm good (including external speaker).

And yeah for anyone trying to switch back from using this to not using it and trying to discern the difference...if it's not blowing you away....it ain't working. It makes a huge difference.

[G2 General] alex72:
Like previous poster said; If ain't blowing you away, it's not working properly or ain't working at all. Make sure you have latest SuperSU and BusyBox , try re-installation of drivers, switch between Normal and Compatible mode, try installing as a system app or regular,... Seriously, If ViPER4Android works properly, you could damage hearing using headphones if you are not careful with some settings combined with volume slider.
