I plan to move to cm13 after staying away from it for more than 2 years now. RIP, cata :| Is there any prerequisite for flashing this on CM? I take it that if i'm using the cm's own root policy, I need to set the kernel to permissive for v4a to work? Suppose I use cm13 + fk (nexus 6P), do I need to do anything?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Delete /system/su.d/50viper.sh and reboot.

RIP cata?? :(

You're precisely correct with your plans. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] blueren:
Yes. As unfortunate as it sounds, the dev shut down all cata threads for n5/6/6p. There is a screen shot with a msg here explaining why.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Well, I'm in the same setup... Here's proof :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Oh, I see now. Original Development vs. Android Development.

It is unfortunate when talented people (both sides from what I gather) lose sight of why they started doing this stuff in the first place.

I also just saw on the closed thread about the abandonment of any separation of Development forums going forward and I think that definitely makes the most sense and would have prevented this entirely if only it was initiated before the Nexus 6 forum section.

No worries though, I've seen this countless times over the years. The itch ALWAYS comes back and there likely will still not be a better avenue than XDA when that itch starts. At this time, it is best to let time heal what self reflection does not cure.

Always bring good vibes, all the time. :good:

Installed viperAtmos 4.4 beats edition and same thing. Maybe I need to do a clean I stall of my ROM one day. Ha! I appreciate your help [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Uncheck Force Enable

Disable any stock audio effects:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Delete:

/system/lib/libsrsprocessing.so

/system/vendor/lib/libsrsprocessing.so

NOT in /soundfx folder

IN /lib folder, if found

Yes, at least a System wipe might very beneficial, although I have flashed so much while building that a data wipe was the only way of getting it working again lol!

And you're very welcome! If you run out of patience, I understand, but please know that I will not run out of patience. I always enjoy a good challenge!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
I'm sorry bothering you man, but this still not working :(

Thanks for your support
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries at all, I am more than happy to help until we get you sorted!

Did you reboot after unchecking Force Enable?

What player is that?

What output tab?

Please thoroughly describe your device, rom, ViPER version, and last time you dirty flashes your rom.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
I don't have any of those, except for in the sound fx folder
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Good, but yeah, a clean flash when you're ready might be necessary.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
I'm using shuttle plus with its equalizer disabled, I've also tried phonograph with no success, speaker tab (I've not tried with earphones)... Using stock ROM (falcon US), and a custom kernel (SELinux permissive); it is the second clean install (from fastboot)... I flashed the latest viper audio (no atmos, no dd+) with Sony beats libraries...

Edit: with GPe edition (another firmware) I didn't have any issues
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Turn Shuttle EQ on and see what happens.

Also, if you plan on staying on Permissive you can delete /system/su.d/50viper.sh

You might try this other libeffectproxy.so.

I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself by giving you any same advice over and over, the thread is moving pretty fast this evening. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Already turned on, nothing changes in viper... The sound change but it is because shuttle EQ... I'm run out of ideas :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
After you clean flash again, try ViPERAudio™ 4.5.2 Stock.

Or try this:

/data/data - delete the com. viper folder

Boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache.

Reboot
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
Hey so, I have ViPer-Audio version 4.3.1 installed. How do I install 4.5.2?? Can someone please tell me the steps, thank you.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
You're THE man! With that zip everything works perfect... No more problems! I'll keep it when I use stock firmwares :D

Thank you very much!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If you're able to wipe System in TWRP and dirty flash your rom that is the best way. The Huawei™ files are no longer removed by the script and the Beats™ files will never be removed by the script to respect our HTC friends so this will ensure every package will work properly.

Of course, if you have ViPERAudio™ 4.3.1 Stock then you can simply flash any 4.5.2 you want. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
:victory: :highfive:

Hell yes! I love it when this happens!

Thank you so much for hanging in there with me! :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
How much free /system space shows to be available?

Disable any stock audio effects.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] pkarekar492:
Internal 2.29 gb free....and no stock effect on. Evn i frozen sound alive.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Internal sounds like /storage, I'm interested in the /system partition free space only with your recent rom change. Navigate to /system through your file manager.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] pkarekar492:
Ohh sorry. Its 400 mb free.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries, and that is certainly enough.

What package are you trying to flash?

Does the driver installation stick and you're only experiencing issues with Dolby Atmos™?

No, I am on AICP ROM with original CM12.1 kernel. Could that be the reason because I have not yet disabled MusicFX?

Any hint where to find 4.3 versions for marshmallow?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I have a very subtle yet perceptible background noise in spite of turning off atmos or V4a AGC. somewhere I read that

"This is Android's musicFX bug, this will happen on all other sound mods.

Suggestion: Backup and Delete /system/lib/soundfx/libbundlewrapper.so"

Can please elaborate this? Can I go for it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
As you know i'm on ketans L9 too with stock kernel and

Viper fix from dr.ketan on 4.5.1 viperdolby beats sony

Works great here.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] pkarekar492:
Hi themoto...after long time. Nice to c you. M trying to flash 4.5.2 not. 4.5.1
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
I didn't try 4.5.2 yet but all before 4.5.2 is working on ketans L9

So maybe [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] know's what the problem with 4.5.2.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER will never delete stock apps or files from your device. This is easily done by the User but I recommend disabling first before deleting.

Yes, I recommend disabling MusicFX.

All 4.3 versions can be found at my AndroidFileHost linked in my signature.

Interesting, I have not heard about that. Move it somewhere safe and report your findings!

The only difference between the two is very minor script edits in Supolicy and install script - mainly just cleanup. You might try 4.5.1 just to see.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] pkarekar492:
Can u please guide to link for 4.5.1. As in op only 4.5.2 is available. Thanx in advance.

I just noticed that every once in awhile I'll have to open the V4A app and check then uncheck the enable box to get it to work. I've got it white listed in battery optimizations and greenify. Any ideas what might cause this?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jmfinity:
try to flash the ViPERAudio Super Quality NEON Driver 3.0 Universal.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Disable MusicFX:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > MusicFX
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Konsumhaus:
Is this as it should, or is there something wrong?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Device/rom? SuperSU/SuperUser? Permissive/Enforcing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Konsumhaus:
NEXUS 6 / Velocity / SU 2.52 / I think enforcing
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If you swipe v4a out of Recents and then open v4a does the Driver Status change to Normal?

You might need to flash the Supolicy version below.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Konsumhaus:
Just flashed the universal NEON Driver. Now drivers are enabled.

I´ll test the functionalities of Viper if anthing works ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If that Driver Status returns (it will), then flash Supolicy Alternate Version #1. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Konsumhaus:
Thx:good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Great info there! Thanks for sharing that with us! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
I'm on Velocity as well. This works perfectly with it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] what's your report? Do you feel subtle change? And I need others to implement it also.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Konsumhaus:
Okay. Works.

But I've figured out, that any changes in the phone speaker Tab doesn't take any effect.

I'm playing music over phone speaker and only check / uncheck masterpower enable V4A takes an effect in headphones. Yes, right.. Playing via Speaker only changes in Headphones take an effect...

EDIT : sorry, my mistake... Locked effect mode. [emoji27]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mervingio:
Velocity is AOSP base ROM?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Konsumhaus:
Yes
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] OmarUdave:
if my rom is installed V4A as I install the mod?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I never notice any of the many reported audio disturbances, but I think it is simply because I stick with stock kernels and stock Google factory image roms.

I might test here in a bit, but I'm assuming I won't notice a difference because there is dead silence when music is silent. I wonder if this would help with the common auxiliary noise through many head units though.

This is likely better tested by those on custom kernels and roms. :good:

No worries, we learn the most from those kind of mistakes. :good:

Delete the v4a folder or apk from either /system/priv-app or /system/app first. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
If anyone wants a Red/Gold layer for v4a I have attached what I use.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
Are there any instructions on how to use the layer tool?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/102261717366580091389

And you must have a rom that supports layers (mostly do).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Copy apk to:

/system/vendor/overlay (create overlay if necessary, with 0755 permissions)

Set apk permissions to 0644

Reboot
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
[MENTION=4367053]Ramondel[/MENTION] Depends what you are running. But if you are running what your signature says, beware that Twiz ROMS are particularly finicky when it come to RRO and layers.

[MENTION=4158306]tcat007[/MENTION] Thanks for the layer. I'm off a layered ROM on my phone, but still run one on my N7, so it'll be put to use for sure.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Wow - BAD day - My alltime favorite ROM - CATACLYSM... and now SafetyNet is detecting Systemless Root... so no more AP with systemless root (for now).

So lots of changes to consider going forward.

Hate to ask again - but I will.... V4A requires Root - correct? IN that case - no more AP with V4A - sound right? (if it is - it is... just 1 more thing to consider )
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
The new one works without any issues.. Fixed my headphones, it feels great to be back.. Good looks guitardedhero.. It was hard to choose which version to flash
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Unless something has changed in the last few days (I'm off Cata, but as early as yesterday I had it running and had AP, systemless 2.67 and v4a all working), that SafetyNet apk is wonky as hell. It throws off so many false positives and then turns right around and gives you a pass. Just test AP on its own and try not to rely on that apk. Does your AP open and can you get to the point of "Adding a card"?

Ya v4a requires root, but there was one guy not too long ago that got it without root, but not sure how.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No surprise, that was done by design for sure. And can you blame Google? So much liability in Android Pay and superuser privileges take a lot of control from Google. Insurance companies will harass Google to no end until they put a stop to root and Android Pay compatibility.

No fear though, for ViPER|Audio™ all you need is a Permissive kernel. :good:

No doubt, I wish I hadn't wasted the poll on IRS series inclusion and used it for packages to remain. Is this possible, [MENTION=3200478]Woody[/MENTION]?

That guy was me! :victory:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
I'm hearing that the issue is not the safetnet test apk - rather google has updated safetynet so that it detects systemless root - and causes a fail. If that pans out - then no AP with Systemless Root... :( I'm inclined to believe this is the case as safetnet test apk worked very well for me...

So what ROM have you switched to? I'm SO sad about CATA... I may just go back to stock now as I don't trust the stability of most other ROMs I've tried. Also - I need a ROM that works with Project FI... That said - I saved the last MOD of CATA and I should be able to keep applying that mod on top of MM updates going forward... at least in theory!

Likely I'll just dump AP and stay with V4A if I have to make a choice - I use V4A all the time and I only use AP at the local Whole PayCheck (foods) - and I only go there 1x a month... so from a practical standpoint - V4A wins.

One last ?? - if safetynet fails now because of systemless root - why not just go with system root? What does systemless gain outside of AP?

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] - sorry for hijacking this thread... I've been so happy with EVERYTHING working - and V4A at the center - but now things seem to be blowing up - good to know that V4A is always good!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Guitardedhero.. Which version are you using now and ones you've tested between Sony beats, vs hauwai beats.. Which one sounded better
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Seriously - No root needed now? Great! Nothing to try - just go permissive and install the latest zip?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
I do have Admin powers, but I can't strip a poll. I'll put in for it to be removed and then you can add another one to it.

Well, SafetyNet would have to be updated through Play Services for it to change. Not sure if there was an update that was pushed as I haven't' see anything on the blogs about it the last day or so. About to step out, but I'll PM you over the weekend with what I've moved to and some other things that I'm looking into. As far as Systemless vs System, if AP doesn't work, then it really doesn't matter anymore.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No need for apologies necessary ever, friend. Off topic discussion is welcomed and encouraged. It's surprising how much productivity comes from stepping away for a bit from the tunnel vision that is what usually causes "writer's block."

Sony™, hands down.

You got it! It was about a month ago I finally figured out that only a Permissive kernel is required. The magic is all in the preinstalled driver which is what v4a requires root to do for you. A Permissive kernel is needed as it is a Permissive Selinux environment not derived from SuperSU. Of course, that also requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. So always choose your next device carefully! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I sincerely appreciate your attempt to accommodate me and in no way will feel treated unfairly if that request is denied. If me, then why not others, you know?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
No, no. It's not like that. I have Admin powers on the forum, it's just that "stripping polls" is not one of them. It'll be done probably tonight by one of the other Admins. I can close and edit polls, just not remove them.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's perfect!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] miladmaz12:
Hey again, the dev of the ROM i'm using just released a new version of the ROM. I want to update it. Should I flash a new version of ViperATMOS or something else?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
I think you need to flash the rom first as per devs instruction then after, if you see v4a package is still existing and works well then your good. In other hand if its gone then flash v4a package of your choice again. ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] HiM@L:
as long time Cata user i would like to know that too.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Precisely, thank you! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
I just flash the latest version on my tab s2 and it works great with 7n player, but with Google music, stock music player stops sampling. The drivers are working but it doesn't samples the audio. Any suggestion on to why this is happening? Also the kernel is permissive. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Im not sure if it's work but lets give it a try bro. Try to disable soundalive. Go to app manager and swipe all the way to "all" and look for the soundalive then clear data of it then disable. Try to reboot your phone and play music in google. Hope it works ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
I tried it. No go. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Odd, so the Driver Status looks normal but disabling and enabling v4a produces no change in effect?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Correct. At the beginning of each song the effect is there and it stops.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
About how long does the effect last?

What happens when you tap Equalizer in Play Music's settings?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
It last 1 to 3 seconds, than it stops. When I hit the eq settings in the app it ask me if I want to use V4a or Dolby.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Good.

At that point, are you able to detect processing by tapping v4a, choosing Just Once, and disabling and enabling v4a? What does the Driver Status show at that point? A screenshot would be nice if you can provide one for me at that step. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
This one is with n7 music player.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
This one is with Google music.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Uncheck Force Enable v4a.

Boot to recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache, and reboot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
No change.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Clear background players from Recents, play audio through Play Music, swipe v4a from Recents, and then open v4a again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Nothing. The only way to get some effect that last about 3 seconds is by having force enable with Google music and stock music player. Could it be the kernel?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Hard to say, the fact that it works and immediately quits is very peculiar. And the fact that you can't get it back to processing makes me think something else is hijacking the processing. Have you tried both locally stored music and streaming music?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Maybe the same zip you provided me could work for him, don't you think?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Yes. I don't understand what's going on. It's weird. I'm going to flash stock and try it again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Ah, good point!

Here's the zip he's talking about:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
I will try this. Thanks for your help.

Do u know the best setup for bass?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
There is no "best" setup for bass because your headphones or external speakers or whatnot could be completely different from the next person. Change the settings until it sounds good to YOU specifically :)
