Try going into play music app info page then click notification, finally press "disable ongoing on onscreen" see if that works!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Suicidal Chicken:
Holy ****! This worked immediately, what the hell?!

Any idea as to why this worked, despite it working before installing V4A?

Thanks man
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Stephenparrigin:
I've no idea to be completely honest. Only reason I knew was that the same question has been asked on almost every page at the PN thread. I had the same problem when I updated to the latest version of PN.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Suicidal Chicken:
I was thinking that it's probably a PN issue - but I didn't check, I know I know; bad dog!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Stephenparrigin:
Well...You know for next time, happy flashing!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much! It was very important to me to create an installation for these newer devices that other installations could not complete or that required compromising work-arounds. :good:

There is a Windows app on the official website. I think you just need a technical data sheet for your headphones to input the necessary information into that app for it to generate a DDC for you.

Thanks man! :good:

Yes, I don't know why, but I face this as well at times with the new v4a apk. :good:

Thank you for that privilege! Hope you make a habit of posting now! :good:

I noticed this as well with the new v4a apk, it will return to full functionality. :good:

Thanks for the tip! :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Couple quick questions.

I'm currently running my N6P with CATA ROM (deceased), God's Kernel, and no root. It is time to flash the new system update - and with that - I'm going to be doing a clean flash - flashing bootloader/radio/boot/system/vendor images...

I'm trying to decide if I should go back to the stock kernel - but I'm somewhat confused as to if the stock kernel is permissive or not - or even - does it matter in regards to V4A. (am I correct to assume I can re-install V4A 5.0 w/o root only if I'm permissive?) One thing I'm noticing w/o root is I'm running w/o information I'd normally have a way of finding on my own... If permissive is needed and stock kernel is not - I can just as easily go with a custom permissive kernel.

Also - completely separate question - does V4A affect my phone dialer? Meaning, if I am using the phone (speaker/BT/Headset) - is V4A affecting audio? Should it? How about other voice apps such as hangouts/whatsapp/wechat... ?

Can't believe I'm just asking this question now - embarrassing!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Which version? I'll whip one up for you real quick.

Hey man! Pure stock kernel will be Enforcing so any modified stock kernel that's Permissive or any custom kernel that's set to Permissive will do just fine.

I believe all audio is processed, at least the output processing is. It's been such a long time not using v4a so I don't have any previous memories to compare.

A viper dd+ 5.0 sony beats version

Thanks for your valuable help us
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
Tried ViperDD+ 5 Sony Beats Edition with DU and pulse broke..... Which was working perfectly with Viper Atmos 5 Sony Beats Edition.... Thinking to revert to Atoms as of now...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm wondering if Pulse acts like a mediaserver and benefits from the Supolicy script not found in ViPER|DD+™.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No problem at all, don't get your hopes up, I'm thinking the new ViPER4Android apk requires 5.0. We'll see...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Cross your fingers! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
I've reflashed my device to MMB29Q build - and went with a permissive kernel, no root - flashed V4A 5.0 Atmos Sony - and also the Sony Music Player... No hitches - smooth as can be... almost takes all the fun out of this!

Thanks for directing me to a permissive kernel - saved a headache!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] eatsleep:
I found that once you enable viper4android on permissive, you can turn back to enforcing without losing it!

I use SeLinuxModChanger to change to permissive once the phone boots, open the Viper4Android app and turn back se linux to enforcing.

This way you can get se linux on enforcing with viper! Just remember to this on every boot

I'm on cm13, Sony Beats edition 5.0!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vinman12:
Still rock solid on my build 2 days no hick up.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
New version updated fine on my device.. Will try it on the moto g soon, I know that too will be a smooth update
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Lol, no doubt friend! I'm running the latest debloated and deodexed N6 stock image with HellsCore b14 Permissive kernel with no root and it is so much more stable than Enforcing with root. I now know where all the audio focus issues originate!

By the way, here's the today's Adaway hosts file attached below. I decided to just make an installer for it for our convenience. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Thanks for the hosts file - I took your advice and pulled it off my 'retired' N5 (after running Adaway to update it)... copied it during my update process using TWRP. Learning how to live w/o Root! I also have a file that forces CHROME to stay in desktop mode (geez - I have a huge screen - and I much prefer desktop mode on my mobile browser) - used the same TWRP method to copy it to the right place and chmod... all is great!

The only thing(s) I'm really missing now with not having root are kernel controls - some kernels use Aroma installer to make settings during install - and I may go back to one of those (e.g.: ElementalX) - however I had some issues with ElementalX and V4A (popping) - but if I read right here - ElementalX may be getting rid of FAUX audio which may resolve some things.

One other note - I used fastboot to flash all my image files - I needed to go that route as I had to manually do this to keep using the CATA MOD - but it worked seamlessly - so now I'm really excited as I was very trepidatious heading into this - but no issues. (note: between flashing system and vendor images I had to flash the CATA-ROM MOD file). I'm also happy I can stay on the CATACLYSM ROM while keeping current with factory images using this method!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm not trying to burst your bubble and I do sincerely appreciate your input and desire to help others but the ViPER packages should work fine when switching Selinux environments as long as the Supolicy script is not deleted. I really do appreciate your post, please don't take what I said the wrong way. :highfive:

Awesome man! :good:

Awesome man! Of course, do let me know if it isn't as smooth. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Fantastic report! I didn't even think of kernel Aroma installers adjusting the desired settings for you - brilliant! That also reminds me of something else you might really enjoy. There is an Aroma File Manager that you load in TWRP that is just like a file manager on your booted device! I'll see if I can track that down real quick.

I was just granted permission by the very generous [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] to present something very special. ViPER4Android without root was my number one goal when starting all this and there has never been a better time than now to make unrooted roms available that have many of the features thought would be impossible without root. The first step in this new evolution of unrooted roms is understanding why a particular app needs root in the first place.

[MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] and I present you all this special edition rom for ViPER|Atmos™ enthusiasts:

MMB29Q Nexus 6 Debloated & Deodexed Stock Rom Unrooted

ViPER|Atmos™ Edition

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24399994186368013​

This is the same rom he just released in his Nexus 6 thread with just a few changes by me. I've been running this all day and it's fantastic.

Features:

Debloated and deodexed MMB29Q Nexus 6 Stock Image

Root pulled out entirely

HellsCore b14 Permissive kernel

Full ViPER|Atmos™ 5.0 Sony™ Beats™ injection

Today's Adaway hosts file for native ad blocking

This rom can still be rooted by simply flashing SuperSU 2.67 but I recommend giving no root a try first. :good:

You guys have the opportunity of being the first user base to use ViPER4Android in an unrooted setting. This is no gimmick, I saw the need for enjoyable unrooted roms with most of the features we've grown familiar and accustomed to coming a long time ago as root becomes less needed and more of an obstacle for users not interested in compromising stock features such as Android Pay as well as the large population of work provided phones that absolutely cannot have root present on the device. This is just the beginning as we find more and more ways of baking in our favorite root features in a fully compatible manner. Enjoy guys!

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] so atmos works but when I try to use viper there will be no equilizer and it will use Poweramp equalizer. Solutions?

In PowerAmp:

Menu > Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks

Uncheck top two boxes pertaining to Volume Control

Check MusicFX box

What Permissive Angler kernel should I use? I'll need a 6p'er to get a boot.img for me.

[MENTION=4371701]luigidk[/MENTION], you mind uploading your /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf?

I'm thinking about using XtraFactory MMB29Q Angler. It's ready to go except for a Permissive Angler boot.img and the $VENDOR_CONFIG. I could use a script for it instead but still need someone to do a couple of steps to provide a boot.img (it's a piece of cake).

Is there another rom you guys would prefer? I'm just looking for a workable stock MMB29Q that doesn't require a PC to build. Thanks guys! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
This is tremendous news - doesn't help on my N6P yet - but the idea that this direction is being taken is very hopeful. So much of this thread and others have to spend so much effort and time dealing with root issues -it would be so much better if we could get the mods and features we want without root. Sure - may have some things to give up - but as I'm finding - NOT SO MUCH!!! Excited for the future!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Me too brother! You popped in just in time as I had just pinged you in the previous post. If you're on a stock image and could attach your /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf I'll have only one last step to get a 6p ViPER|Atmos™ Edition rom. That last step simply requires flashing a Permissive kernel:

After flashing a known Permissive Angler kernel:

DON'T REBOOT YET!!

Mount > System

Advanced > File Manager

Navigate to /tmp

Tap on newboot.img and select Copy

Navigate to /sdcard and swipe to Paste

Reboot

Attach newboot.img to a reply

:good:

And please let me know if there is a different rom you'd rather I do this with than XtraFactory MMB29Q Angler. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks man, did you Mount System and look in /tmp through TWRP'S File Manager before rebooting out of TWRP?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'll be more than happy to adjust the updater-script in the next update. Through your experiences do you think that my removing the /data/app and /data/data removal lines from the script would be enough? My biggest issue at the beginning was having to deal with so many setups with lingering v4a installs from other sources. With ViPER|Audio™ being fairly well-established at this point I have no problem cleaning up the script. I definitely feel that deleting /data/data was unnecessary, it just seemed early on to help with certain quirky scenarios in early testing. I could also remove the ViPER|Audio™ installs from the script. The only ones I feel should remain would be third party /system installs. Your script in its form would only work without issue as long as v4a is nowhere on /system. People just don't want to hear the words, "Wipe System" lol. What do you think?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
[MENTION=4807909]-decipher-[/MENTION], looks like a convenient time for a small update as a Dark Material 2.4.0.1 apk was just shared and I know everyone likes that version so I'll include it along with removing the /data removal lines from the script. I'm just waiting for permission to be granted. I really appreciate your report, thorough testing, and looking for ways to improve ViPER|Audio™ for everyone! :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Yeah... Did it twice... Flashed kernel in twrp, did not boot, mounted system, used file manager to search /tmp and that file isn't there.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Do you remember seeing a boot.img maybe? Which kernel do you recommend? I'll go to that thread and personally ask the dev myself. :good:

Are you able to upload your /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf real quick? Thanks a million man!

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
Yes, removing those lines would do the trick.

I definitely understand and think it's absolutely a good decision, However, keeping a pre-install script exclusive for NEW users of this package would come in handy to solve all incompatibility issues or to delete all previous V4A installs that were from sources other than this thread.

LOL, yeah "wipe system" can sound a bit scary xD

Thank you sir, always happy to brick my device so others don't have to suffer (kidding), Also a material version would be nice. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you! Thank You! Thank you!

I just swapped my vzw Note 4 for a vzw Nexus 6 this weekend, I couldn't live without Viper for bluetooth streaming in the car,

Its simply an amazing transformation if you are dealing with crappy factory car stereo tuning.

Working nice and stable on latest Chroma/Franco kernel.

I really wish the Viper devs would fix the no landscape rotation, so much easier to use the EQ that way.

I have to use xposed+appsettings module to get it to rotate to landscape.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] MrBrady:
That's really odd. I've never had issues with Viper4Android FC'ing on this ROM or any other. Maybe try this: 1) Backup your Viper4Android folder on your internal memory. 2) Erase the folder. 3) Reboot 4) Open Viper4Android. I've had issues backing up my Viper4Android folder because of the way files are named. Perhaps there's a file in there that's either corrupted or named strange that's causing Viper4Android to FC?

You've already tried, but I'll note that SELinux needs to be set to Permissive for Viper4Android to work. But even if it's set to Enforcing, I've still never seen it FC.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deathshead:
Anyone know of any way to force viper4android to run in Landscape mode?

I tried rovo89's appsettings xposed module for lollipop but no dice.

Perhaps there is another way to allow viper to force rotation?

A little hard to navigate while in a car dock.

Thanks!

Install the apk, flash the zips, reboot and run the app installing the driver and you are all set.

What flashabke zip?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Warlord1981:
I too need more clear info on how to install viper4android. The op says either install apk or zips. Not both. And there are 5-6 zips..Which one is the right one?

When i install the apk i have weird sound volumes, youtube will start loud and then will volume down after some seconds and vice versa.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] buschris:
it's not rocket science. You flash one zip file in custom recovery, boot, start the app and install the driver and you're good to go. Doesn't hurt to install selinux mode changer as I need to be permissive for the effects to actually work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
The zips on the OP break aux audio out and USB audio out, who knows what else. Here's how to do it with just the apk - http://graesen.com/2015/05/how-to-properly-install-viper4android-on-the-nexus-6-other-lollipop-devices/. My guide isn't fully working on Android M for me though - can't get it to install the driver, despite having root working. Looks like I can't make any changes to System, but other root apps are working fine.

EDIT: found the root/boot image to make system flashable. Just need to play some music to verify my guide works with M too, but works for Lollipop for sure.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
Selinux mode changer is no longer available on play store, but I use chroma ROM, which has the sepolicy changes required for v4a built in.

Honestly, I don't know why so many people have problems with viper. I just install the app normally, open it & install driver. Reboot, and all is well. No problems with aux, and it works everywhere, including system sounds like ringtones.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
The one in the op that reads: viper_v2.3.4.0

There's a permissive zip (twrp flashable) in op of Elemental X kernel thread. Works great if you ever need it..

I LOVE V4A!! Can't live without it! :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
I use Elemental x also, but like I said, on Chroma ROM I don't need the permissive zip. I keep selinux set to enforcing & viper works just fine.

The installation even survives a ROM update, because zephiK wrote a backup script that transfers the drivers when updating. Now all I do is update ROM, flash kernel, reboot. And viper survives. I haven't had to reinstall viper for months. ?
