Do this:

Download the v4a build.prop fix from this thread.

Download v4a from main v4a thread in Android Software Development.

Download Extemebeats 4.1 from its thread in Android Software Development.

Set selinux to Permissive however you want from the several available methods.

Flash ExtremeBeats 4.1 in recovery and reboot.

Fix the permissions of a few files and also make sure the 2 apk's in /system/app/ are in folders with the correct permissions.

Reboot again.

Extract the v4a zip from the main thread and create a folder in /system/priv-app/ of the same name as the v4a apk with the #4 in it as that version is for ICS and higher.

Copy the v4a apk from the zip and place it into your new folder.

Set apk permissions to 0644 and set the folder permissions to 0755.

Reboot.

Open v4a and install Super Audio Quality Driver and reboot when prompted.

Open v4a and hit menu and select UI Setting and choose Expert.

Enable v4a across the different outputs like speaker, headset, Bluetooth, etc.

Flash the v4a build.prop fix in recovery and reboot.

Open build.prop in text editor and delete all the lines that begin with "setprop"

Change the 1 line containing "somc" to "semc" to match the others.

Change the mic headset line from "analog" to "digital"

Save changes and exit.

Open /system/etc/audio_policy.conf in text editor and delete the sections for "deep buffer" and "compress offload" or similar, it's directly under the "deep buffer" paragraph.

Delete the folder /system/priv-app/MusicFX.

Reboot.

Go to Android Software Development and look for Jake's thread of IRS files and download the files and place the files in /sdcard/Viper4Android/Kernel - just files, no folders in this folder.

Reboot.

Open v4a and click enable convolver and select a convolver to try.

My favorite is DFX Hip Hop Modern.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'd like to share my v4a settings when used with Jake's DFX Hip Hop Modern IRS.

This list includes only changes made to default settings.

Enable v4a: √

Enable FIREqualizer: √

3.5, 4.5, 5.0, 3.5, 1.5, 1.0, 3.5, 4.5, 5.0, 3.5 (ExtremeBeats Perfection v4a EQ)

Enable Convolver: √

Convolver: DFX Hip Hop Modern

Cross Channel: 0 percent

Enable Viper Bass: √

Bass Mode: Natural

Bass Frequency: 50 Hz

Bass Boost: 6db for Bluetooth, 8db for headset

Enable Viper Clarity: √

Clarity Mode: Natural

Clarity: 3.5db

If you follow these last 2 posts you're almost guaranteed sonic bliss.

Different convolvers will likely require very minor adjustments if any at all.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yellowman82:
Would this sound good through speakers?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Everything.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yellowman82:
When you say delete the section for " Deep buffer" and "Compress offload" it's the paragraph underneath the word correct? Sorry there's a lot the are a bit confusing when following your guide.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Right, but delete the entire paragraph including the word at the top. You'll see how the other paragraphs are so you should be able to figure out how to delete the entire paragraph of each.

In driver status I get this screen:

What should it look like if working correctly?

Thanks

/CK
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
Probably wouldn't say abnormal..viper only.works for me in compatibility mode, which great out driver status menu, so I can't check.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
Check if SELinux is set to Permissive.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Café King:
It wasn't... I'll try again later on.

Thank you

/CK

EDIT:

All working now
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yellowman82:
after flashing the the extreme beats muse 4.1 zip you mentioned to make sure to fix some files there and to make sure permissions are set correctly for the 2 apk that was installed which im guessing are AudioEffectService and DolbyMobileAudioEffectService which i made their folder and put them in it and set the permissions as it should, but when it comes to the files you mention before the apk i'm not certain which files am i searching for to fix?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Extract the ExtremeBeats zip and you'll see each file to check, only a few need corrected permissions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ntress:
gonna try it.

thank you!

just to make sure, will i see the difference also without headphones right?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You absolutely will. :good:

Viper4android on nexus 6 cyanogenmod 13

Hello everyone. I hope you can help me, I've been trying to install this mod but nothing works so far. I follow very single step to get this mod workin, from Enforcing to permissive, supersu etc etc

Please help
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gaz41:
I try installing v4a Atmos stock on my Nexus 5. I'm an old v4a user, but I try this version to make it work with enforcing. All works great ?. What step I've to follow now if I wanna try Sony Beats edition? Thanks

Simply flash the desired version over your phone's current state. :good:

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] thanks for your explation all warking fine amazing sound

anyluck with htc m9 viper rom 6.0 ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ffejy462:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I'm using all sorts of playback and Bluetooth issues that may or may not be related. I'm just going to completely wipe data and start over. I doubt that Viper, Atmos, or the multiple (there's been quite a few!) installs are to blame, but something isn't right. Anyway, what are the differences between the supolicy zips? I'd imagine they're for those having problems with processing or permissive/enforcing. I read (ok, quickly skimmed) the op, but didn't see anything.

mxpe 6.0
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ShernDog:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I have a Nexus 6 running on a 6.0.1 ROM that uses SuperSU. I flashed the Atmos zip with Sony Beats and cannot get the viper to work. I followed all the directions and even tried compatibility modes/other troubleshooting measures. I cannot see any discernible difference when enabling/disabling Viper. The Dolby Atmos works fine however. I've tried on Stock Music Player and Amazon Prime Music (using headset).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
None of the zips install the profile or convolver stuff properly on htc m8 w/cm13 for me. Works otherwise. Sony and beats zips caused phone freezes a lot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Roarmaster:
Hi bschmidy, I'm on the M8 with cm13 version Jan 27 and it works fine for me. I'm using the 4.5.2 Sony beats viper|atmos zip and my dirty flash order is:

1.Wipe cache, Dalvik cache, system

2. CM 13

3. Latest open gapps

4. Sony beats viper|atmos zip

5. Reboot and set kernel to permissive (edit: I use the Selinux mode changer app from xda)

Note: don't install supersu yourself or try updating the binaries through supersu as the newer cm nightlies come with the latest version
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
The zip file is not supposed to be flashed, you need to extract the files to the appropriate location and set the correct permissions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Fantastic! I'll make adjustments in the next update. :good:

No way of knowing without looking in /system/lib/soundfx and comparing to the mod zip.

Does it not work with the current version?

Nothing in the OP as it's still currently in testing. There are minor differences between the different versions trying to find what works best. Ony try a version if you experience "Abnormal" in Driver Status.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] j1gga84:
When I chose DFX Hip Hop Modern.irs from the Audiophile folder I have a hall in the sound, mainly in TTS applications but also in music. I use this on my Samsung galaxy tab S with stereo speakers.. What could be the reason for that?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
Wasn't meaning the zips with audiophile or whatever only. I mean the viper atmos full zip, which is definitely meant to be flashed
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Abnormal in Driver Status?

Disable any stock audio effects:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

Have you checked Dolby Atmos™ settings if installed? Otherwise, there is a slight reverb with the DFX series, especially strong in some of them but Hip Hop Modern has one of the lowest in the series.

The Audiophile™ Profile is no longer included in the installation. It must be extracted from the single zip and merged into your working v4a directory.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
New poll added to hopefully reduce the number of official ViPER packages available to be less confusing and overwhelming. Please choose six that you feel best represent the ViPER vision.

And I apologize for any answers or assistance that seem short and lacking substance. I had a very busy morning and afternoon with my son's basketball game and lunch with the family. Please let me know if any unresolved issues or requests still need attention as I am fully available as of now. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ShernDog:
Thanks for the help. I disabled the stock Music FX and rebooted but it didn't work, and now it is asking me to install the driver every time i reboot like it won't stick.

NEON Enabled: No

Enabled: No

Status: Abnormal

Audio Format: Unsupported

Processing: No
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What device/rom?

SuperSU or Superuser?

How much free /system space shows to be available?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ShernDog:
Nexus 6/ OctOs ROM (CM Based)

SuperSU

How do I find system? The whole thing says 20.62GB used of 54.46GB

Edit: I think my system folder may be full.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It may be.

Once everything is sorted, if you find that Abnormal Status appears after it was earlier processing then swipe v4a out of Recents and then open v4a again. If it starts working then you will want to try one of the Alternate Supolicy zips from the OP attachments section. If you find one that works consistently then please report the Supolicy version. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ShernDog:
Can't get it to work...cleared some space in /system but I keep getting the "Install/update the driver" message and now Dolby Atmos stops responding...I don't know what I did wrong or what to do next. I just wanted Viper.....
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Wipe System in TWRP and dirty flash your rom. After booting ensure 50mb+ of free /system space is available. Also ensure that with MusicFX or AudioFX is disabled. Then boot to recovery and flash your desired ViPER package.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tpuser59:
Did u disable the OOTB Music FX app?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] j1gga84:
Dolby Atmos is installed and I've done the settings like in the OP..

I have no custom kernel installed with seperate sound settings.

Sound quality is still bad with activated convolver, still cracking noise out of the speakers allthough I have deactivated AudioFX :confused:

regards
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sounds fine with Convolver disabled? Have you tried an IRS from a different series?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ffejy462:
Fyi. Wiping data and clean flash of rom totally fixed all issues. Kinda gun shy wiping data after triggering Google's security last time (phone locked for 72 hours on vacation in another state during Christmas). Thanks for all you've done.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's awesome to hear, thanks for letting me know!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Flashed the latest on my Nexus.. Works flawlessly.. Yo guitardedhero, when you ran multirom did you notice the sound was not to its full potential VS just one rom?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
Just to make sure...every time I change my effect profile, I need to relock my effect mode to activate it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Honestly, I don't even remember. And the inadvertent use of the Power Saver driver could have existed that far back as well.

The purpose of locking effect mode is only to use the settings of one output profile when using other outputs. The most common scenario is locking Headset or Bluetooth for Speaker output to enjoy the additional settings the other two output profiles provide.

Uninstaller? [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The best and easiest way to uninstall is to wipe System in TWRP and immediately flashing your rom zip. You won't lose any data or settings but you will have a pristine /system partition.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy1355:
On thnx

Would you ever consider creating your own sound mod app? I for one, would happily pay 5$ easy in the play store for a clean easy version of all of this. (Not that it isn't clean and easy lol) you seem incredibly knowledgeable about both sound engineering and the android ecosystem, plus you're probably the nicest most helpful developer I have come across on here. This thread has been wildly successful and popular, I'm sure most of us here would be happy to assist you and spread the love even more :)

Just my 2¢.

Should i use this with Project Desire Universal?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
You can try it,i did too but i'm back to ViperAtmos Sony Beats.

Because i think it's a little to much the two together.

All the sounds from the phone are to loud and when i don't listen music

i have to disable volume leveler in Dolby Atmos.

But you only know's when you try.

Let us know.

Ps.I tryed all the combinations ViperDolby Atmos Sony Beats with RHR,Project Desire and xtreme music.

But they are all to much for me.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy1355:
For me viperatmos Sony beats don't work. They just freeze my phone. I'm on the 4.4.0 d2att I downloaded the correct package for droid version
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I sincerely appreciate your comment and the awesome praise! :D

It is a testament to the vision I always had long before ever becoming an OP and makes me know that there is no better way to provide an outlet for learning, participation, and old fashioned "good smaritanship."

Your proposal is a pretty cool idea and a huge opportunity for me to learn even more but I promise you all this: There will never be a price tag to enjoy ViPER|Audio™. My vision has long been to make the greatest ViPER4Android installation available anywhere and available to all who are able to find it. From day one I never felt any ownership as I simply bundle up what is available to all of us and write scripts to make it all work in the fashion it currently does. And those scripts are the result from feedback from all of you and from the utmost respect I have for your devices as to not just rip out files to make the job easier for me. You guys own this just as much as I do.

I finally gave in to providing my PayPal link, as refusing a nice gesture enough times can actually be insulting, but please know that helping others and promoting the vibe of this thread will always be an appreciated form of donation. :good:

No doubt about it! Mobile device audio is my biggest passion in life and to see the same passion in many of you makes it even a stronger passion for me. I love helping those get to where they want to be and I feel the best avenue is with a coherent, encouraging manner. :good:

You can find several sound mods with the ViPER|Atmos™ injection at my AndroidFileHost link in the Side Projects folder. I do this so it's much easier for you guys and to eliminate any doubt you may have about combining the mods properly. I will have the latest ExtremeBeats™ up when it's released. I wasn't happy with pulling MaxxAudio out of it and placing it in /data so I never put it up there, but I bet you could find it by searching for Apollo™ ViPER|Atmos™ Edition.

Which ViPER package and version? You're on OS 4.4.0?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy1355:
I downloaded the one on andriodfilehost it was 4.5.2 viperatmos stock, but when I just download viper beats edition it worked. I am on 4.4.0
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If you want to try a Dolby app in the future, you might have better luck with the ViPER|DD+™ packages in the JB & KK folder. I'm glad you got it sorted! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mamamume:
Finally I made it !!!

Well for those who can´t get this awesome mod work. Here the Steps to follow.

NEXUS 6 RUNNING CM13. My experience ....

Unfortunately everything must be wiped EVERYTHING.

1. Download the latest Cm13 ROM. https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=shamu

2. Download Gapps for Cm13. http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano

3. Download SeLinuxmodecharger. http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506

4. Download this amazing mod. I picked viper ViPERAudio 4.5.2 Stock.zip

PROCEDURES:

1. Wipe everything except INTERNAL STORE

2. Flash CM13 Rom, Gapps and Viperforandroid (Stock 4.5.2) It worked for me

3. Reboot your device and complete the initial setup

4. Reboot your device in recovery select wipe and pick format data

5. Don´t wipe neither dalvik cache nor cache just reboot the device

4. Download busybox (normal not pro) sound weird!! yes, but it worked

5. Install SeLinuxmodecharger and set to permissive

6. Open ViPERAudio , menu UI setting and pick expert.

7. Play any audio file or Spotify Five in my case

8. Once again open ViPERAudio and enable it and force enable v4a.

9. Set your own configuration and enjoy !!!!

if you want , edit mixer path xml set in "90"

Here some pictures

yeah it sounds fine with disabled convoler.

What do you mean with different IRS from a different series? You mean just another IRS from the Audiophile package?

No but I will test it. ;)

The bass for the atmos, Sony, beats is smooth as hell. It didn't pack the punch I wanted tho so I flashed rehear on top of it.. All good in the hood
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Not only that but any of the available impulse response samples you can find on XDA or elsewhere. You should Google "impulse response sample" and take a look at the many resources. You're sure to find a lot of info and some samples that will work perfectly for your needs. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] canilol:
I must say this is the best audio mod I've ever used. Thanks for your hard work, guitardedhero :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Definitely an awesome combo, the file in my Side Projects folder at AndroidFileHost might be easier for you with future installs. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
They're both universal for Lollipop and Marshmallow and sound extremely similar. If you want a specific suggestion then I would suggest RHR-K. :good:

Closely following this thread I came to know xHiFi has better sound but FX has more effects. I like sound to be of better clearity. Can I install xHiFi over my current setup ViperDD+ Sony Beats? Also I get some crackling sound when I am using some heavy app like Facebook. My phone has Snapdragon 410 with 2gb RAM.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jkdrinkard:
Thank you guitardedhero for your work and patience on v4a! I want to get a clean install without wiping existing apps and their data. I'm having an unrelated issue with twrp not creating a backup. If I wipe system only, no apps or their data will be lost correct? Then I flash Rom, Gapps, Custom kernel (optional), reboot. Then flash v4a, reboot and that's it right?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
Yes.. Right! :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You'll be happy to know I have an XHiFi Installer and Uninstaller that do not affect anything other than XHiFi itself so can be used with any ViPER package. :good:

Precisely! Except, I would avoid flashing Gapps unless your rom dev explicitly states to do so when dirty flashing his rom. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Will definitely cop that.. Good looks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy1355:
Sorry for the late reply but thanks so much for the work and dedication. I wish I could donate but I don't have a PayPal

Hi, i use Xperia Z2 5.1.1 .264, I just want MOD for headphones, which should I use?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Tha Watcher:
Thanks, but I think I'll stick to viper520 & zhuhang's original Viper4Android as it's been serving me well for about 4 years now. Too much "enhancement" and equalization is overkill anyway... especially when you have one on top of the other. As an audiophile, I don't want to get too far removed from the original sourced sound of my music. It ain't broke, so I ain't gonna try to fix it! :cool:;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mpgrimes:
Have you ever considered an aroma installer version of v4a so you could just select the version and add ons you want when installing from one nice zip? Also maybe create a simple uninstall zip to remove everything if needed. Might make it easier to trouble shoot and switch versions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Those mods include everything and more which is why you don't see anything but an ViPER|Atmos™ Edition attached to them.

ViPER|Atmos™ Sony™ Beats™ Edition is the fan favorite.

For the longest time installing the apk in /system/priv-app is all I've done. All the way to the point of creating these packages, which is solely geared towards those where what we do is not enough. This has never been a solution for me. This is for the people that don't have the luck you and i have enjoyed the last few years.

Absolutely! After Valentine's Day I told my wife it is time for me to get a laptop so that my resources are even greater to evolve the ViPER|Audio™ series. :good:
