Woooooooooooo.. Good news..

stock kernel sounds good.. Free to switch to kernel of choice if they want or stay with stock.

You're still on N2? I'll have to change to a different layer because I think it's the cause of the glitch fest I'm having.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Still on N2 and very pleased with the 4.8.1 version used for it. I don't have a way to generate MM boot.img's with Flashify while on N, that's why I'll need you guys if anything other than stock is desired. ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Formhault:
Thanks for the quick response !

4.8? Why not 5.5?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] grimmaniac:
4.8 comes with a superior driver.

I'm currently testing redux 9y and it works fine on mine
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Which 4.8.1 are you using, regular or TP? All of my needed files are on my internal and since the previews are flashable I can flash M real quick to try to generate the mm boot. Since my Moto G has xposed it's not too bad that I don't have it on shamu.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] Just wanted to say thanks. I love the 4.8.1 Sony, Beats Edition but still wanted to try the 9 REDUX on my OnePlus X. As mentioned, the 9XXX didn't work and you suggested the 9Y version. I just wanted to confirm that the 9Y version works. Sounds awesome with Xtrememusic 7.0.7 and the new Project Desire Rebellion???

What the problem?

use the low version??

Redux 9xxxx on g2 d800 resurrection remix mm 6.0.1

Sounds great but can't change in call volume. The default volume is good however
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Crystylez:
Very new to this mod and read through the OP's first page post and wondered, if the HTC Beats http://xdaforums.com/android/software/mod-htc-beats-audio-beats-xperience-t3281603 already is included in the Viper Atmos Sony Beats Edition 5.5 or you have to flash it after that.

Also tried flashing Viper Atmos Sony Beats Edition 5.5, Viper + Atmos is not processing the sounds.

Edit: sorry I forgot 9XXX was newer which 9x and 9y didn't work for my oneplus2 now it's working w/ 9xxx. I'll try it on my 5x and 6p later. Woohoo! Thanks man ☺
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Download version 9xxx from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66398580&postcount=9413

and if you want grab the tweak prop from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66385424&postcount=9346

If you want to use the tweak prop extract the ALSA_tweak.prop file, rename to tweak.prop and place in the root of your sdcard.

Then go to recovery, manually wipe system, cache and dalvik.

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps (manual system wipe requires this)

Optional - Flash kernel or any other mods that would have been removed with the system wipe

Flash Redux 9xxx

Reboot

Profit

I'm running the 4/15 Dirty Unicorns weekly on my 6P and Pulse and in-call volume work great and my music sounds insane.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Did you try 9xxx ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
Wipe system, cache and dalvik cache, and reflash your ROM and gapps and Redux XXX. It'll work 100%.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Omega Kaos:
Is the Redux XXX suppose to work for everyone? As it doesn't for me not such a biggie as 9y works fine everything seems to work. I'm on DU weekly 4/15 with Nexus 6

I have tried wiping /system dalvik and cache as well
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Why 9xxx for 6p over 4.8?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Naw.. Either one works for you or the other but not all
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
4.8 works great too, but if you want all the new stuff that [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] has been working on and you want everything to work, then you need to go with 9xxx.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Going to try that combo.. Would try rehear too but don't want to go overboard
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Omega Kaos:
I've not long tried it and flashing in that order, however the ExtremeMusoc mod wondnt work it was fcing without the usual FC box so I flashed it last and it seemed to work just fine so I thing it might have something to do with tweak.prop settings I am using so you might want to check that if it doesn't work just about to(clean) reflash without tweak.prop and see what happens
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Thanks for the information, very useful. I'll check for the outcome and see where I go from there.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] heleos:
9xxx I believe is for roms missing a lib file (i can't remember what lib file), so if 9xxx didn't work, try 9y.

Lib file is: /system/lib/libaudcal.so

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] root Explorer is updated and works on N
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
I find ViPERAtmos4.8_Sony_Beats to be the best option for the Nexus 5 currently, I have been using it daily for quite some time now and I have zero crackling or background noise, you may want to give it a try.

Also, in the meantime try raising the CPU Minimum Frequency to 422Mhz or 652Mhz , this should clear up the crackling noises you are hearing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
I can personally vouch for this as I was the guinea pig - 9Y is what us Shamu users want. All the 9XXX love is mostly just because most DU users in here have jumped to the 6P - we want 9Y on Shamu for sure.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
I am petty sure that is what the intended function of the Volume Leveller is.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] adm1jtg:
Can you link me back to the 9y version, since am also a shamu user.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
9x worked for you also?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
No, was actually talking with OP and doing some device specific/DU specific tests on N6... this actually when OP found device specific versions would be needed depending on mainly libaudcal.so in your ROM. This is why some us 9Y, some 9XXX... they are in no way interchangeable, you have to use what your ROM/device combo mandate.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nodnarb91:
You weren't hearing any crackling noises while playing music with 9Y? I'm running your same setup (latest DU test) on Shamu and tried going back to 9X and it went away.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Makes sense..you use 9y with alsa tweak? What rom are you currently running?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Never noticed any issues... you can run 9X on Shamu? I was thinking of 9XXX.. honestly I'm not even sure what 9X version is myself. Now I am curious.

Dirty Unicorns, Fluence ALSA Tweak because I am on N6 - would not recommend for other devices.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
That rom is nice? I might try it out. I have 9x on my shamu too, also works for guitardedhero on N2
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nodnarb91:
Under root in system folder, look for ViPERAtmos ReDUX Version.txt, it'll tell you what version you're running.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
My personal opinion - it is the nicest there is. For audiophiles like us it is cool as that is where the "Pulse" feature you see in some ROMs now originates from - definitely cool for us music lovers.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Never knew what pulse was but I do enjoy my music. Thanks for the info, I'll probably use 4.8 along with DU
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Oh, no I know for 100% sure I am on 9Y - I'm just not really sure what 9X was.. I remember I needed 9Y because of libaudcal.so on my config, but to be honest I am curious if 9X works on the same setup.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] adm1jtg:
Ok read a little further on and I guess I should say I am on shamu with pure nexus which 9 should i be running?

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

I think in my opinion its not recommended to combine ProjectDesire+ExtremeMusic+ViperAtmos, I just went to flash these mods and checked the build.prop and I saw multiple redundant entries.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bsw11:
FYI. Neutron is BY FAR the only player to use with Viper. If you can't hear the difference have your ears checked. It has the worst UI but it sounds so much better it's worth putting up with.

BSW on G935F ATT
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] iceman0826:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

ViperAtmos isn't compatible with Project Desire, after I set the settings at Project Desire app and restart, V4A keeps asking me about installing drivers.

To those who plan to combine ExtremeMusic+Project Desire+ ViperAtmos, save yourself from headache and do not attempt to flash these combinations.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] harish_hpd:
9Y and 9XXX ALSO NOT WORKING WITH IN CALL VOLUME.. Im on resurrection rom.. Nexus 6P..

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dinaps86:
Got the same result, might try flashing extreme first than pd....
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] iceman0826:
Yeah right now I settled with Viper|Audio SBE Redux 9Y only, ExtremeMusic is overkill and doesn't sound awesome, I like Project Desire but it doesn't work properly with Viper|Audio SBE if only these two mods will be combined into one. :D

But other than that, I will stick to Viper|Audio SBE ReDux 9Y since I already wasted so much time and effort just to make these 3 Audio Mods work :p

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ciber05:
On OP2 only Redux 9XXX works after ver 4.8 (haven't tested 9x and 9y; 4.8.1,4.9 etc all lost media audio)

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], thank you so much for all your hard work; 9XXX is a significant improvement over 4.8!

Truly sublime! :good::good::good::good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Omega Kaos:
Yeah I gotta agree with this that and if you look at both the Dolby atmos app and the extreme music app both settings at the bottom are completely the same and when switching between the two the Dolby atmos app provides better sound with Viper than ExtremeMusic does (tested both seperatly being as I couldn't get them working together)

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ciber05:

then edit audiopolicy.conf located at system/etc

delete the paragraph with low_latemcy to make tunein, SoundCloud and some other apps work w/ v4a and pulse if your rom has it.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ciber05:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] just to confirm, 9X and 9Y don't work for oneplus2; the only version after 4.8 to work is 9XXX, looks like it might be a keeper.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That is because an audio_effects.conf is placed when changing engines in the PD app. I didn't realize this and will look into adding the necessary entries. :good:

6p on roms other than Dirty Unicorns seem to have the best luck with 9y.

Absolutely!

You're most welcome! :good:

It seems that some build.prop lines, especially the ALSA lines, can actually remedy some of the odd behavior reported.

Hello there [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION],

Viper4android working fine, but Dolby Atmos not working if V4A is enabled. It works as soon as i disable V4A.

I'm using Sultan CM13 rom, clean install. Audio FX still there (i tried to enable / disable / freeze it). I use poweramp and V4A works fine. Aren't they supposed to work together as one?

I downloaded the "ViPERAtmos_5.5_Sony_Beats_Edition".

Thanks for everything you do :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
The insomniac OP finally slept.. You had 9x specifically for shamu N2?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BatCyr:
Reporting bad decision making.

I was getting all the love I needed with 4.8.1 on G3 running Exodus rom, when I decided to combine it with Project Desire and Xtrememusic.

I tried every possible combination, and even switched to 9Y with the Alsa Fluence tweak.prop.

As a result, I never managed to open Xtrememusic (kept fc) but I ended up breaking my in-call volume... which had never occurred before.

Multiple uninstaller and dirty rom flashes later, still no clue.

Furthermore, I decided to wipe both data AND storage between two flashes... yeah, clicked too fast.

So here I am with a semi restored functional device looking for my data and I even fear to retry 4.8.1...

Moral: I'll stop trying to be a hero for a while and wait for the big boy to sort it all out.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ephexxis:
are there any packages available that will flash on x86? test builds i mean. for some reason my normal frankenpackaging of using the keys and additional updater files from a zenfone2 package (that is outdated) isn't working anymore, i expect because of the difference in installation instructions. I've already had to wipe everything down to internal storage due to playing with permissions and file systems before (lol) so in light of the plethoral of packages available, can someone point me towards one that installs like 4.8.1 VA SB universal?

Damn.. Terrible experience.. Funny thing I tried it also.. For some reason 4.8 nor 4.8.1 works for me on Android N preview 2.. Back to 9x..might just try rehear and 9x.i didn't know project desire had so many options. Your in-call volume works now?

Lol, I can relate. This happened with me a few days ago... I only needed to wipe my system, cache and dalvik cache... But of course I clicked internal storage instead.

Edit: Just checked with earphones, and my phone doesn't recognise when I plug them in. They don't work.

Do I need to change permissions, if so how do I go about doing it?

Also just discovered when making calls, it automatically goes onto loud speaker, and there's no way of stopping it lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BatCyr:
Yup, basically I just wiped everything before restoring from an old TWRP backup without v4a on it, all the recent ones didn't fix the in-call volume.

It feels clean but I am missing lots of stuff due to my splendid storage wipe. I might need to go through a new clean install once I've tried to backup everything I can.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] pahlerc1:
I was able to get V4A running with 5.5 on NP2 but now have the "low volume" in call issue. Any way to fix/uninstall V4A without a clean fastboot flash of NP2 cause then it will wipe the internal storage of the phone :(

Update: I am just going to fastboot flash the NP2 preview again, probably wouldn't hurt to wipe the phone and clean it up a bit! Got everything backed up to PC.

If converting N2 image to a debloated /deodexed Metadata is fairly simple then I could try it out. Is it due to doing it on your phone or just a pain in general to convert? N2 is a bit troublesome in many areas.

I've asked this before, I believe, but just to make sure. I'm on an N5 and I'm using the ViperAtmos ReDUX 9X. Pulse works and the sound seems to be fine for the device. Is this the best version I should be using?

Also, I'm not understanding what these audio_policy.conf are supposed to be used for.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] meleelord:
Still not having much luck. With permissions should it be rw-r-r? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

When I copy it over and replace the original, I then reboot. When it's booted Tunein Radio seems to be working on loudspeaker with dolby atmos. But then earphones don't work, and calls come out on loudspeaker.

I can change the permissions of audio policy to rw-r-r, and the loudspeaker issue is solved, and earphones get recognised, but atmos doesn't work with Tunein Radio.
