[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
I'm having trouble with 5.2 on rooted n6. I flashed the latest February security patch over my 4.2.1 install, which was working fine no problems. After reinstalling xposed and rooting, I tried a fresh install of 5.2 and now the driver status appears to only process when nothing was playing, basically just system sounds had processing according to the driver status but that's hard to verify. Sound from multiple sources definitely had no processing though, driver status matched. When I paused the sound source it switched back to processing. Any ideas??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
What are the advantages of XHiFi? Can I use both viper? I hope there isn't any troubles...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
After your true clean flash did you disable MusicFX?

Did you create free space in /system since true stock Marshmallow fills it almost completely?

You should hear a difference during playback by disabling and enabling v4a
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Yes and yes. Followed the same procedure I did to install 4.2.1 and all the versions before that. However none of them ever needed me to disable musicfx but I did now during my troubleshooting. Everything seemed to install fine but just won't start processing
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
In my opinion there are no advantages. It is overly processed and overly aggressive with /system requirements. If it is satisfied being installed in your phone's current state then it is certainly fun to experiment with but is really more of a novelty at this point. I know many like it and that's why I wanted to make it available so please don't take offense when I say that. I remember when it was still in development and I thought it was a brilliant move at the time they decided to cease development as FX had certainly surpassed it and had much more potential. The rest is history...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What player(s)?

What SuperSU version? System or systemless?

Enforcing?

BusyBox?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Tried with Spotify and pocket casts, those were my 2 big users before and all worked well. I forgot that during my flashing I went to supersu 2.67 from 2.66. Always have had enforcing with busybox 1.24.1 to su/bin, stock kernel only mods are no encryption and xposed. So the only changes from 4.2.1-->5.2 were: January security patch-->February, supersu 2.66-->2.67
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'd like to see a screenshot of Driver Status during Spotify playback.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
1 thing I noticed that might help is on 4.2.1 when I would use pocketcasts and maybe other apps I don't remember for sure, the driver status would say processing at 44100, now it says not processing and never changes from 48000
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
i want Walkman Music player but can't install it ?

can any1 provide me a flashable zip plzzz

thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Here you go
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Also if this makes a difference I did not wipe my system when I upgraded to the latest security patch, I just flashed it as an upgrade. Could left over 4.2.1 files be causing this if I didn't clean wipe the system partition before flashing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I've never seen 44100 out of the N6 speaker, only Bluetooth output. Headset and speaker output at 48000 on the N6

Sure, here's the Beta and the Stable Sony™ Music player attached below.

I want to see it during playback, and try unchecking and then checking Enable v4a.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Sorry that would explain the 44100 then I typically used my Bluetooth headphones, and that was during playback, now on tap screenshot hid the statusbar but it was playing at that time, tried checking and un checking a few times, along with reboots
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Ah hell, it sounded like you fastbooted a Google Factory Image and everything lol! Yes, a system wipe in TWRP followed by a dirty flash of your rom zip and then a 5.2 flash should work perfectly as long as that rom leaves enough /system space. If the kernel is Enforcing then SuperSU is required. I'm running a stock N6 with no root and HellsCore b14 Permissive kernel.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Lol damn I should have specified that, I hadn't even thought about the fact simply flashing the system wouldn't actually remove everything there. When I rebooted and viper was not in my app drawer I assumed it got wiped! Thanks I'll start with a wipe and reflash of system tomorrow and see how it goes, I imagine it should be back up and running then. Typically though when I upgrade v4a I won't need to wipe it thought right I can just flash the latest zip and it'll clean up the old installation for me? Provided I do that before flashing or wiping system?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If you wipe System and flash a rom you'll have a clean /system partition of the rom's choosing with no ViPER installation at all. However, dirty flashing a ViPER package with the switching back and forth of apk's lately, its been common at times for the v4a apk not to appear in the App Drawer. Usually, a reflash of the ViPER package will get it back. Once you get everything sorted and processing, no wipes are necessary to update or try other packages. If you run into issues, definitely wipe System in TWRP and simply flash your rom again and flash ViPER after confirming the normal prerequisites are met. :good:

Can I see a screenshot of Driver Status during Sony™ Music playback?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
To let others know, Pulse is working fine on my Nexus5 Running DU6.0.1

Along side ViperAtmos_5.2_Sony_Beats_Edition.

Install instructions as follow;

Booted into Trwp,> Advanced Wipe: /system, /dalvikCache, /cache,

then flashed ROM+GApps+ViperAtmos, Rebooted $$Profit $$

Enjoy!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
ofcourse yes, and when i check on Force Enable it works for 10-15 seconds then suddenly comes back to deafult sound ..... (btw everything works fine with Poweramp)

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
Viper|Dolby Sony Edition 5.2 & Walkman app.....and nothing related to any audio mod bla bla...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Reboot the phone

Open v4a and disable v4a Headset

Tap home

Sloooooooowly insert Headset, the more pops the better

Open Sony™ Music and begin playback

Open v4a and enable v4a Headset

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] butla:
Guys is just me or do convolver effects take a while to change when selected or don't change at all in the latest Viper. Using 5.2 ViperAtmos Sony Beats. Previously I could change these on the fly but now they sometimes do and sometimes don't change the actual sound effect even when ticking the box on and off?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Have you installed viper as a user app? (Installing the apk in /data)

Appears to be. Might try and install just Viper outside of 5.2 package.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] butla:
Installed Viper only over 5.2 and seems to be OK now. Lost the material theme though. Looks like it may be a clean system routine and flash again for me. You know what is flashaholics are like.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
I had been intending to flash this on my Sansui ST71 tablet(Chinese rebranded, actually some Alps one), running on close-to-stock rooted (SuperSU root) KitKat. I don't think there are any custom recoveries available for the same but I did try flashing through stock recovery but it failed to detect the zips. I think I may have to rename it to update.zip, but my real query is whether this particular device (based on a Mediatek chipset-MT8312-dual core Cortex A7 with 512MB RAM) can support mods like these packages? I had been running stock v4a app installed manually from the apk(direct install, no fancy /system app, plain old /data app) with selinux mode changed to permissive and it did process, but not good enough to my liking, in addition to getting killed all the time. Besides, if the update.zip method is not going to work, I'd also like to know how to move each files from the zip to their respective system folders, that is a complete manual installation guide, if possible. Thanks in advance...

Hit Thanks ? if it matters ?

I have applied those settings in poweramp but i can't see any musicfx button on poweramp's tone control page.

Damn...!!! This thread is growing at an insane speed. I come here, read the comments, leave for a few hours and when I come back, I've got at least 30 more comments to read.

I've been using V4A for a while now and its been fantastic. It gave my Nexus 4 exactly what it needed, better sound quality, either for the headphones or the speaker.

So thanks, dude ! Your work is amazing. And I'm certain you might be the nicest guy on xda based on the support you've given everyone.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mervingio:
So all of this changes are in your zip?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
Thanks for sharing. Quick question. If flashing this then increasing say the base to a different level, does it mess up the whole set up or does it just increase or tweak like we want from their? And how much of a difference is made in changing the code like you suggested? Does that make sense?

I also wanted to ask if this applies to Bluetooth because that's what I use it for mainly?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sorry guys, I had to get some sleep and still sick as ever... :(

Yeah, that's certainly going to cause issues. Inside Adapt Sound, I wonder if there is a setting that is making it turn effects back on. You might want to check and see if you can turn that off inside Adapt Sound.

It seems to be a fuller sound but I haven't had the opportunity to test much the last two days. A user noticed one of the Sony™ libraries looking for a params folder during processing so it's more likely to be some variables and presets instead of a true flat equalization. A blind test seemed to be noticed by a few users.

In PowerAmp:

Menu > Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks

Uncheck the top two boxes pertaining to Volume Control

That's really strange and I would suspect kernel settings, battery optimization, or an app that's trying to squeeze extra battery life.

Probably so, Material theme isn't even in 5.2 unless you copied it over immediately after installing 5.2.

Your RAM simply is not enough and issues will be a constant.

The MusicFX button is not necessary but might be a result of stock audio effects being enabled.

Me too man, I regret ever changing 5.0 now. It seems to have caused issues all over the place. :crying:

Thank you very much! I needed some good news lol!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Well, I don't wanna irk you but my actual question was aimed at understanding if Mediatek devices were supported, and if so, how to install. I am pretty much sure with the LMK values for a 512MB RAM device, the service is gonna get killed no matter what, but nonetheless, for curiosity's sake, I'd like to know. I was going to flash it via stock recovery by renaming your zip to update.zip, without any img backups for the ROM, I just wanted to know the repercussions, if any.

Here at xda, people hit the Thanks button ? for showing their gratitude. What a strange place! ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm sorry for missing that, I'm not sure on that one. My brain is foggy as hell right now, especially after just waking up, but I'll have to look into that. Is MTK like not NEON? Is your device x86?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
It's pretty much a Dual ARM Cortex A7 core chipset manufactured by Mediatek, instead of Qualcomm. About NEON, don't know. I thought it was something about Qualcomm SoCs, but I might just be completely wrong on that as well. The thing is that I had managed to get v4a to process by just installing the apk in the device. So I don't think Neon support counts....

Well, my bad... Too much to process for a sleepy head... Simply put, I just don't have Twrp or any custom recovery support for my device and I would like to flash from stock recovery by renaming your KK zip to update.zip.

P. S. : Btw, no probs pal, I'm gonna go ahead and be brave and do just that... I feel weird asking such silly things to somebody who is not feeling well and is just out of his bed... Get some rest and get well soon, bud... [emoji106]

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Lol geez, that's right, my bad! Your idea won't work at all, unfortunately. What you'll need to do is copy each file over and set permissions for each folder/file to 0755/0644. However, two files in all packages, and four files total in the Sony™ Beats™ packages need 0755:

/system/addon.d/23-v4a(xxx).sh

/system/su.d/50viper.sh

/system/bin/aplay

/system/bin/asound

No se linux is enforcing since in cm13 it comes as default, but i thought this viper version can be flashed with selinux enforcing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Enforcing requires a SuperSU installation for the supolicy script to execute. I was thinking cm13 had a switch from Enforcing Strict to Permissive. I would check your rom's thread for the best route to a Permissive state or for a SuperSU installation.

What device?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] junioramboy:
Finally decided that:

Audiophile 2.0, tweaked with higher treble

Atmos: Rich, Surround ON, Volume Leveler OFF

is the best settings for me.

By the way, on stock Chroma which has stock Google kernel, the sound was cracking. Now I'm back to Hells Core, it's just heaven. Music is rocking my skull and feels like a full sound room is wrapping around my head. Gorgoeus! Thanks [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION].

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
I know this will come off bad, but why make a zip that doesn't do this? Not sure if this happens to you but every time I go in and out of viper because I'm using my phone to look here to make sure what to check off and it starts over on phone speaker and then I have to scroll down and look for that spot again. I feel like flashing it didn't do much of anything and I could have just used your zip and then done what he did. Again it may come off rude, but I thought it did everything he posted. Sorry.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] akiwiz:
No flashing supersu binary gives a bootloop, should i remove audiofx?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I've experimented with profile inclusion in the past with BAD results. The working v4a directories vary so much and it really just causes problems and issues for many while helping only a select few that share the same working v4a directory. His personal zip that he edits for his needs and shares uses the Material Dark theme and removes the supolicy script since he's already Permissive. And he shares his settings as they've changed slightly from his previous shared settings. It's more of like an update for the User Content Area, if you will.

And no worries about coming off as bad, I'm a natural skeptic and I question absolutely everything I read or hear. We're all in this together to grow and learn as much as we can so please ask anything at all even if it may seem like a negative thought at the time. Many will look at this entire thread and think to themselves, "Why not just put the folder and apk in /system/priv-app, set permissions, and reboot?"

I just dirty flashed the latest PureNexus Rom on my 6P and flashed ViperAtmos 5.2 over 5.1 but now everytime start V4A it says driver are not installed and when I try to install them it says that ROM is not supported. How can I fix that?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sorry, I was adding the last bit of info required after placing every folder and file into /system. All folders require 0755 permissions and all files require 0644 permissions except for the four files I singled out to explain that these few files require the same 0755 permissions that all the folders need.

Extract the ViPER zip and copy each folder one at a time so it's easier to ensure you are able to set all the permissions before moving on to the next folder and files to copy over. Once everything is copied over and all permissions set, set the runme.sh script to 0777 and use Root Explorer to execute so that all your audio files are patched properly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Wipe System in TWRP, dirty flash PureNexus, no Gapps unless he says to, then reboot. Make sure there is enough free /system space available. Then boot to recovery and flash 5.2. :good:
