Awesome! You're going to love the Sony™ additions! :good:

Nope, you're perfect where you are! :good:

No doubt about it, I'm thrilled you're enjoying it so much! :good:

I'm going to revise the Sony™ Music Installer to delete data during the installation.

In the meantime, try this:

Can I flash the new version over ViPERAtmos 4.4 Beats Edition without reinstalling the ROM? Thanks for your amazing work!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I did in fact use the material apk's until a user found that more than just cosmetics was modified causing a peculiar issue showing a persistent state of "Processing: Yes" even during no audio playback.

Absolutely! All packages are designed to accommodate almost every dirty flash scenario. :good:

Can some one help me? I use Note 4 Android 5.1.1 (DN5 Rom). What i should flash to get fully working Viper? I have installed SoundAlive also

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Don't flash that zip. Instead, extract that zip and place the v4a apk in /system/priv-app/ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x. Delete the existing v4a and rename the material apk to ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk, set permissions to 0644, and reboot.

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.5.1 Sony™ Beats™ is what I'm using but feel free to try any 4.5.1 package. :good:

[MENTION=1256101]guir[/MENTION]ardedhero, I wonder if you could design an app or a zip package to fully remove v4a and its libs from system to enable us install another mod or upgraded version of v4a.

I wiped cache/dalvik-cache and installed ViPERAtmos Sony Beats 4.5.1 over my previous 4.4 Beats Huawei, sounds great!

Here's 4.5.1 Dark Permissive, only changes to 4.5.1 are replacing stock V4A with Dark Material and removing the su.d script for use with an outside solution for Permissive Selinux (and the line in the updater script that points to that file, to allow the zip to flash without it).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yep, side effect of an app requiring more than what is in the apk. Still working on it. I've got a version that will download the art but can't save it lol!

Awesome! Going to add that to the User Content Area!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
This was unexpected, but I think my favorite feature of 4.5.1 is that any Audio Focus issue has seemed to completely disappear! :highfive:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nadiros:
Can I just remove the dark material Viper apk from this pack and replace my regular one in /system ? I'm not interested in the Atmos, Sony or Beats stuff.

My install was the 4.4 Viper stock zip. Does it matter that this is 4.5.1?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Absolutely! Just be sure to rename the material apk the same as the original for the backup script to restore it after a rom update and set permissions to 0644 before rebooting. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
After some research it seems that Edit Music Info 2.0 doesn't fully work on Marshmallow yet. Many sources and they all explicitly say "album art doesn't work."

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Zertech:
So for some odd reason, I'm unable to save/load effect profiles, and convolver does nothing regardless of which one is loaded. I have the right folder though. Possibly I have the folder permissions set wrong?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
I use Dark material Viper4Android from here and all I can say is I've never had that issue. Maybe the user that had this problem was an isolated case? Here is some proof (screenshot attached)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yeah that's where I sourced the material apk's. I was attributing it to either convolver or Dolby Atmos™ but he was persistent for a long while and I sort of dismissed it as a nonissue. He wiped and wiped with different roms and when I finally gave in and used the official apk it finally worked how he wanted it to. He was so persistent and adamant about it that I know for a fact he wouldn't have said it finally worked if it really hadn't, if that makes sense. I also found the official apk route to cut the number of packages in half instantly (even though there are even more now lol) and to eliminate another possible cause of odd behavior or bugs. Troubleshooting and providing assistance for ViPER4Android is a monumental task so I felt it would help everybody to provide all the necessary and none of the unnecessary if that makes sense. Swapping the apk's is easy and plus I'm thinking about trying Layers again to get a different look. I always used the Light Material v4a and miss it at times but the thought of doubling the amount of packages at this point seems like a terrible idea lol. I know that's not what you meant but if I include the Dark Material then the Light Material would be mandatory as that's just how I am. It's not complete unless they're both there. It's the same way I cringe when I see users advising other users to "freeze" SoundAlive or delete MaxxAudio to get a mod working. That is in no way a complete mod as the author intended.

Sorry man, I'm rambling like crazy and sound drunk I'm sure, but I haven't had a drop all day lol. Activity has slowed and nothing much new coming out to try so I'm just philosophizing upon a brain stir from your evidence of what I always thought was the case in the beginning. It's just that I value everyone's input more than anything and I will always accommodate to what provides a better experience.

I proposed a brief marathon in Layers recommendations as a fantastic compromise earlier but it never happened and was likely lost during a chaotic flurry of testing builds. I still think this to be the best solution for everyone as the packages will remain the same but having a database of Layers that overlay v4a will provide many more theming options than just having a Light and a Dark.

I think now is the best time yet as I feel 4.5.1 is the perfect release to take a break and let everything settle so you guys can enjoy everything without being prompted with another update every time you hit this thread lol! The second post is reserved for User Content and will include the list of Layers and screenshots as they are provided. Looks like you're using a Layer so you can be the first contributor!

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] bro what is/are the main different of normal and compatible mode in v4a app. And which one is better normal or compatible? Advantages and disadvantages of that mode? Thanks bro in advance and warm regards
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's actually quite confusing because this is the official answer:

Normal Mode: ViPER4Android processing is untouched and all players will sound the same.

Compatible Mode: ViPER4Android will blend with other effects including built-in equalizers found in some music players.

However, ViPER4Android always blends with other effects and equalizers in Normal Mode. If you adjust the equalizer in PowerAmp and turn the Bass Boost all the way up it is obviously changing. The same thing happens when in Compatible Mode but, oddly enough, it loses tons of compatibility in that it simply will not process consistently at all. Crazy, I know...

Viper Ui setting is at moderate, headset tab

Reverberation *sometimes* on with 25m2, 8m, 50%, 10%, 60%

Viper Bass on at 40Hz, 6dB

Viper Clarity on at 3,5dB

Anything else off.

Dolby Atmos is full on bass and highs, a bit of mids, music preset and manual equalizer, surround virtualizer, dialog enhancer and volume leveler are off.

Just try it ?, bass is punchy and the highs are crystal clear, mids are there too ?

Man every time I check back on this thread there ave been like 5 versions released. I see all new sony versions and have a few questions, I prefer to keep my rom running in enforcing mode so that means dont use DD+ builds but that leaves 4 options:

ViperAudio Sony

ViperAudio Sony Beats

ViperAtmos Sony

ViperAtmos Sony Beats

I am confused as to the REAL differences between them, obviously the atmos has dolby atmos included and the others dont. I am guessing the base files are sony now and the other builds are about including beats or not. Which builds are suited for what purposes? Yes i know i will be answered it personal preference, but for basic music listening usually via pandora and through good quality headphones would the base sony be enough or would I actually see a difference with the atmos or beats? Also I MUST have a build that wont break Android Pay. Does that eliminate any of the above choices?

I'm sorry man, I know I've said it before but I mean it this time when I say that this is the last major change for a while so you guys can just enjoy what's available now.

I recommend trying ViPER|Atmos™ first to see how that performs for you. And no package will negatively affect Android Pay.

I decided to not phase out Beats™ only ViPER packages because a user I corresponded with has booting issues with the Sony™ packages. That is enough for me to continue the Beats™ only packages.

I have JB & KK folder at my AndroidFileHost linked in my Signature. I have not packaged any JB KK packages for 4.5.1 yet, but will after this busy work day. If you don't want to wait, it's actually very easy:

Unzip the mod

Apk's need to be directly in /system/priv-app, not in a folder inside /system/priv-app

Delete /system/su.d

Rezip the main mod folder

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], thanks for all your work. So, I'm a flashaholic with all the new ROM updates katinatez puts out for my OPO. Each time a flash a custom kernel by boeffla and eveeytime I do so, I have to mess with viper4 quite some time until I get it to work. When a song is playing and click viper, it stops. So I have to go into viper and update drivers, unchecked swlinux strict reboot, play music and then it works or sometimes works by switching ui in viper. Is there something I'm missing? How can I avoid doing this all the time? Thanks. Oh and I've flashed Dolby version.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
I'm attaching my all favorites convolvers. Hope it'll be useful for those who need it. :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You shouldn't need to uninstall anything. The installation will delete the /data installation. The IRS issue has been a longstanding one which requires v4a to be installed in /system and /data for every IRS file to work.

If IRS files are not available to choose through v4a then you need to find your working v4a directory and place your files there. The easiest way is to save an open v4a tab as a New Effect Profile named "Stock" or something unique so you can search for it in the Profile folder. When you find that new profile folder inside Profile, you've found your working v4a directory.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
What do convolvers do? And do we just extract them from the zip and place in the viper folder?

Hi.. Viper|atmos 4.4 is not surviving rom dirty flash.. What am i missing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Convolver

When an impulse response(IR) sample is loaded, music will show the same characteristics of the loaded sample, for example equalizer, surround, reverberation, tube etc.

Make sure SD Card has /ViPER4Android/Kernel/ folder, IR samples will be located there. If folder not exists, you can download latest V4A FX and extract SDCard_V4A.zip.

(1) Enable checkbox. Whether the effect is enabled.

(2) Select Impulse Response. Here you can select and load IR Samples inside /ViPER4Android/Kernel/ folder.

(3) Cross Channel. Brings audio in front of you.

http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=43

IRS files go into the Kernel folder in the ViPER4Android folder of your working v4a directory.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
Hmm I see what did I wrong. Actually v4a gets me flashaolic crazy! Yeah I know the awkward v4a location.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vinman12:
In my ROM it works out the box install ROM and go. Works on either stock built in su or su systemless betas in enforcing mode.tell him he needs to add viper support to sepolicy mediaserver.te and if your using lords kernels he needs to add support in his ramdisk. As for IRS on your device they must be added under /storage/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Disable stock audio effects:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

You likely need to use SuperSU for Supolicy to work if your device won't stay on Permissive.

Your rom is likely wiping System during installation.

Sony™ integration is finalized in all 4.5.1 packages.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
So I guess I misunderstood and thought it could run on enforced as well. So keep it on permissive at all times? Also I use SuperSU 2.67.

Also when I hit system, I open viper and uncheck storage in permissions?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If you use SuperSU then flash this if the one in 4.5.1 isn't working.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
Leave kernel as enforced or permissive?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Shadowghoster:
[MENTION=4551715]suaverc118[/MENTION]: That zip places a file in /system/su.d which alters the se-policy of mediaserver on every start. [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I think giving execute rights is enough. And for getting the script to work with systemless supersu you need to change the second line to /su/bin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };" or /su/bin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { execute };". It will work on every Kernel and on selinux enforcing mode.

PS: I tested it out with different Kernels and different paths for the su command on my OPO.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Zertech:
I was using that yeah.

Edit:Upon reboot, any fixes were reverted.
