[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlz28:
I definitely know how/where to put the file....permissions...etc.

Just wanted to see if it actually made a difference since stock TW doesn't have this file anymore. If not having a stock file in place to begin with, adding a edited version would seem to be useless.

Just curious :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeb85:
Move this to system>etc>
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeb85:
It overwrites a file
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlz28:
Ahh ok. Didn't realize there was another file that controls this.

The one I remember was default_gain.conf or something like that. I used to manually edit that file to suit my needs.

Thanks for the info. Gonna try it now.

I really dont think viper actually works for our device I tried it and seemed like it didnt work

If u find a way to slightly lower it by editing files let me know I would like to lower it a little.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
It does work but if your music player is the issue you may have to change the setting in the system menu. Go to Settings/Sound/Music Effects and select Viper. I use Poweramp music player and thought it wasn't working for that either till I read on here somewhere that you have to go into the Poweramp Audio/Advanced Tweaks deselect Direct Volume Control. All worked fine then. I personally did not change my Music Effects setting to Viper because everything was working fine except Poweramp which was fixed with the above mentioned actions. Make sure you have the right drivers . It works fine and tested on two different note 3 devices an S3 and an S4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmorton10:
Holy sh*t, I just tried this and it worked super.

Thanks for posting that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlz28:
Viper worked for me, but I didn't like the effects. Plus it seemed like after unplugging headphones or changing volumes, it went back to stock. This hard coded method is definitely preferred.

Just swapped out the file and rebooted.

Seems to have worked.

Thanks again :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
The reason it may have sounded like it changed after you unplugged the headphones is because Viper has two separate tabs for adjusting headphone sound and phone speaker sound. In addition as mentioned in the previous post you may need to change the Music Effects setting in the System Settings menu under Sound. If the other method that 'mikeb85' mentioned is easier and works for you then you win either way :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerwagon:
What cpu did you use for viper?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogerburns:
With VFP, Sir

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krait_(CPU)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
I went with Cortex A9/15 since according to the link I provided as well as the previous poster, our processor is similar to the Cortex-A15 .

Taken from the instructions post of V4A: "All other Dual-core,Quad-core,Octa-core with freq higher than 800MHz, choose "CortexA9/15 with NEON"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogerburns:
I chose VFP, and its working GREAT!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Maybe the A15 driver option is simply one optimized for faster processors. I too tried the with VFP option at first till I realized that they are listed in increasing order to the more powerful processor. At least we know it would be tough to mess up the installation since both worked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarlyFan:
When you do this is the sound distorted or just louder, I hope that it is just louder especially the ring tones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeb85:
I would say with the "loud" zip its a bit distorted at full volume
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
I can't seem to get Viper working. I tried both drivers and also have enabled it through music effects in the settings and every change I make makes no difference.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
That's odd, because it seems to be working for some of us. You're rooted as well?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
Yup I'm rooted. I downloaded the apk from google play. I'm going to uninstall it and reinstall it from the xda apk and see if it changes anything.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Let me know because it's run smoothly on all my devices so far. I would like to know what might be causing teh issue for you or what app it didn't work with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
Requirement: Rooted, Busybox, File explorer app with root access.

I'm reading the instructions and it says Busybox is required... Could that be the reason? I don't have that installed... do you?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Yes I do have BusyBox.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
Well I installed BusyBox and reinstalled V4A with the latest apk on the thread FX version v2.3.0.1 (Android 2.3~4.3) and rebooted as instructed and still not working :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
What app are you testing it with and did you test with headphones or the phone speaker? I am uninstalling and doing the process all over as a quick test.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
I'm using it with the stock music player and I tested with both headphones and phone speaker. Thanks. The latest apk I got from the thread auto detected the driver by the way, unlike the one from the play store which I believe is another version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
There are also 2 versions the FX one which I am using and the XHiFi version which focuses on increasing the quality of bad mp3 files. I did a full re-install and all works fine. I used the same apk from the Play Store.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
Ok so I uninstalled the one from the main thread and reinstalled the one from the Play Store and it still did not work. I then installed Poweramp to see what happens and it finally works but only with Poweramp. Did yours work with the stock music player?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
I only use Poweramp as a music player. Aside from that the phone speaker works fine for everything else. I turned off Poweramp and tried the volume boost and other V4A features which all worked fine with just the phone speaker.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.cortez:
it seems to be hit or miss with the stock player and headphones. try Shuttle music play; that's how i verified V4A was working on the T Mo GN3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
Yeah I might stick with using Poweramp. Yeah YouTube works fine too it's pretty loud. Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Did you have to do the Audio Tweak in Poweramp by unchecking the Direct Sound thing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
That's actually the first thing I did when I installed it since I had read you had to do it as well. Didn't try it without unchecking it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
So you basically have it working just as I do . I didn't have to go into the phones setting and change Music Effects to Viper. I just left it alone on the default setting and it still all works fine. I will share my setting.

Phone Speaker tab:

Fire Equalizer enabled with a slight adjustment for lows and highs

Convolver is enabled

eXtra Loud enabled + Effect Strength - Slight ( I chose this so it doesn't get too distorted or loud).

Max Gain 4x

Max Output -1.9

I'm glad it worked out for you. There is a learning curve to using it but I think it's well worth it.

Headset tab

Playback AGC

Effect Strength Moderate

Max Gain 10x

Max output -1.0dB

Fire Equalizer Custom

Convolver

Headphone Surround + Effect Normal

Dynamic System Enabled

Dynamic bass = 33%

Viper Bass + Natural Bass 50Hz

Viper clarity + Natural + 3.5dB Curetech+ enabled

Binaural level = Slight
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainjobizz:
Yup pretty much. Thanks for sharing your settings, I'll try those out because yeah it's a bit too much lol But yeah worth it nonetheless :)

Edit: I also forgot to mention I use Spotify as well and it works fine with it too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAUguy:
I tried it with the stock Samsung Player and Google Play Music and noticed no difference.

What players does this work for? I don't have an issue with the call volume, but need more music volume through the 3.5mm headset jack.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
the previous poster also stated something similar but it works perfectly with Poweramp music player. You simply need to go into the Audio/Advanced Tweaks/Direct Volume control and deselect it. It works fine then.

I haven't gotten the stock player to work yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAUguy:
I'm not getting any results.

So far I have tried both versions of Viper. The one from the Play Store, and new 2.3.0.1 from their web site.

I went to the one from the Play Store I selected the CortexA15, but the newer 2.3.0.1 says it automatically installs the correct driver.

Made the change to Settings/Sound/Music Effects/ViPER4Android FX selected, and turned off the Adapt Sound.

Made the changes in the Viper app as shown at the top of this page.

Downloaded PowerAmp (Trial).

Loudness is unchanged and still the same as when just using the stock Samsung music player.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
I never got it to work with the stock music player. If you are using Poeweramp then do not change the Music Effects settings as I said. Instead follow the directions in the previous post about going in to the Poweramp settings click on Audio and in Advanced Tweaks uncheck Direct Volume Control. At that point you will be able to use Viper with Poweramp.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
No change on the XMsirius app either. :(

It seemed to work 1 time in the EQ and that was it.,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAUguy:
Ok, that did the trick, going to he Poweramp settings click on Audio and in Advanced Tweaks uncheck Direct Volume Control.

One thing I have now noticed when using Viper is that on my MP3s (192Kbps, 44KHz riped from CDs) is that I hear a more pronounced "high frequency" wobbly/compression sound...is the best way I can describe it.

Is there any way to "lessen" this high frequency wobbly sound?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Use the Fire Equalizer to bring down the . Also as a starting point on the page before I listed my settings if that helps but the thing that you would do differently is not select the Viper Clarity.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAUguy:
Yes, I was using your settings and tried tweaking them some. I did notice that Viper Clarity +3.5db made voices sound clearer, but also increased this high frequency noise. I was using the Flat setting in the EQ, but also tried classical.

I guess my other option would be to re-rip my CDs with lossless or a better quality MP3 compression settings?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
If you are using the same setting then I would first try bring the highs down in just the equalizer . Honestly if you are using Poweramp you can use the equalizer in there if you prefer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harleydroid:
I am using the viper mod from playstore. But without busy box and it's working good. Is that okay? Or should I install busybox?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Mine would not work without Busy Box . There are other mods that require busy box so it's something good to have installed but if you have it working for now then that;s great .Enjoy!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAUguy:
Does Viper work with any other players besides PowerAmp? It only has a 15 day trial before its $4 to purchase.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
You would have to try the other app or tell me which app you are trying to use maybe I tried it in the past. I know it applies it's effects to everything on my phone including my Dice Video player and of course the phone speaker settings for ringer/ notifications. It have not gotten it to apply to the stock player but there may be a way around that. What player do you use?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAUguy:
So far, I've only tried it with the stock player (which I now know Viper doesn't work with) and with PowerAmp trial (that does work).

Just was wondering if you knew of any other (free) players that Viper worked with.

I guess it doesn't work with the earpiece speaker during calls either?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Bluetooth headsets work, Phone speaker works, Poweramp works but I don't notice a difference with in call volume when not using my headset. It does make a difference with speakerphone as that's the phone speaker working. Try another music player. I always had Poweramp so I didn't have to do trial an error with multiple players. It's worth the $4. If you want a free player then you'll have to test which ones work.

[Omni Q&A] cezeff:
im also very interested as to which phones will be supported...but not only that but how easy will it be to get your device supported...im over in Asia and there aren't variants that aren't well supported by the major custom rom developers like AOKP, CM, Panandroid....which makes it really hard and sucks to get in on the "open source" goodness...i hope Omni is easy to bring to a large selection of phones...

EDIT: ok, well that makes sense the vanilla versions...just hope its easier to get more on board...
[Omni Q&A] cybojenix:
Asian phones implying mediatek based? There are a few commits in Gerrit to add support for them, but I think it's still not usable. They'll do their best

As for not being supported. Unfortunately it's down to getting a device maintainer. There will be guides posted no doubt, and this is xda. Basically a massive manual on hacking android

[Omni Q&A] pulser_g2:
If you can get AOSP to run on your device, you should be able to get Omni to run. Currently, a device tree needs nothing significant beyond an AOSP tree (I think about 3 lines of changes to make an AOSP tree work in Omni). This means work on porting Omni is helpful to those wanting AOSP as well.

Mediatek chips will most likely end up supported. I understand that most projects eschew them through a lack of sources etc, but we intend to do what we can with them, as they offer interesting opportunities including multi-SIM support to say the least.

Yes, I am just starting the source push right now.

Yes, it will be supported, we just didn't list it due to nobody having one to hand to test.

Yup, I understand it's been running on the Z :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46423859&postcount=2 for a couple right now :)

Yup, it will be supported.

Ah OK. As I said, if you can get AOSP to run properly, then yes it will work.

Unfortunately the amount of carrier interference on many US phones makes them less fun for anyone wanting custom ROMs :( If you can get the SIM-free international model, that often helps, but that's obviously not possible with Verizon...

4.3.1

It will be supported. Just not listed yet
[Omni Q&A] Adam77Root:
Hats off to you guys, this is kind of a great progress you've done here. I was like wtf when I saw the project in the news in the morning.

Third non-Nexus device to receive any form of build. ;) I've been running it on my Z (albeit without too much testing) for a few days. It was one of the demo devices I brought to BABBQ.

Well, maybe fourth? Not sure how Lalit has progressed with the T.

First: Find5. Second or third: Tablet Z. Third or Fourth: Xperia Z.

As to the Oppo R819 - Supporting MTK devices is a headache, but Oppo really wants it to happen and has gone above and beyond in terms of supporting MT6589 bringup efforts.

Biggest schedule impactor at the moment - quite a few members of the Omni team are working on lighting their "check liver" light at the BABBQ right now. It's 3:30 AM local and I need to sleep...

I know many exynos devices users may found this stupid or cruel...but in my opinion exynos 4 devices shouldnt officially get this. Why? Becouse whats the point of doing a rom that will never get stable status. Keep this project clean...build only for devices that have chances to be bugless (exynos 4 will always have some due to lack of propper files/documentation from samsung)

Ps. Im i9300 user myself but at least i can admit that it sucks.
[Omni Q&A] AA1973:
I do agree at some point [MENTION=4451658]rocky12345678900[/MENTION]

On the other hand, as I see XpLodWilD, Entropy512 and espenfjo "somewhat involved" in this Omni project, why shouldn't they take some of their work and knowledge (in brackets: and a lot of their spare time) about those Exynos devices with them and use it here?

Again, it is not a request!
[Omni Q&A] pulser_g2:
Exynos 4 has a lot of life left in it. I think we CAN get it to stable... We've got a lot of info that can help :) Including 4.3 releases for many devices coming up!
