Its a flashable v4a to work with Pulse. That's why I was curious what was different to make it work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm still looking, but nothing sticks out yet. I was curious if you've used it and know for a fact it works. For example, if you wiped System, dirty flashed your rom, and installed that zip but it did not work, then nothing from that zip will help me.

Have you used it before? I'm a natural skeptic and always have the attitude of I'll believe it when I see it, if that makes sense. I'm not saying it won't work, it's just a confirmation that what is needed is right in front of me.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rhonin86:
Hmmmm - i try to explain again - sry but english is not my mothers tongue so maybe i express myself a little wrong :o

With the convolver activated every new sound start with a part of the last used sound. It seems as if the loaded sample from the last used sound is still loaded and processed while starting with a new sound - no matter if it is a notivifaction sound or system sound.

I hope i could make it clearer....

Cheers

Impressive! I never would've guessed English was not your native language, much better than many native English speakers! :good:

I've seen that description elsewhere but have never experienced it. I'll take another look at your audio_effects.conf.

Running 4.2.1 on nexus 6p everything is sounding bad ass
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] puritan007:
I've had that happen myself, I thought it was due to my not following instructions and dirty flashing over older versions
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm wondering if it's just a matter of it being a /data installation moved to /system/priv-app. You want to try deleting the current v4a folder in /system/priv-app, rebooting, copy the folder in that zip into /system/priv-app, set permissions for all folders/files added, 0755/0644 respectively, and rebooting?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Dirty flashing and using the patched zip to test right now.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If it works, I'll make a special package just for you. I just need to know if you want Dolby Atmos™ or no Dolby Atmos™ :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
;) w/ Atmos please. You the man!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|DDP™ 4.2.1 Beats™ Huawei™ Edition​

Dolby Digital Plus™​

A user on the Android Software Development thread was experiencing an issue getting Dolby Atmos™ to work properly, a familiar sentiment, but mentioned Dolby Digital Plus™ worked great on his device. I've always thought both Dolby apps were great and there really seems to not be much discernable sonic differences. I had never thought of adding this version but this user's post made me think this would be a fantastic option for those almost out of hair from the frustration of getting Dolby Atmos™ to work on their device. The backup script is complete as well, to handle this edition. I strongly urge users with no success whatsoever with Dolby Atmos™ to give this version a spin. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vjtigas:
Thanks! Which do you think is "better" though? Atmos or DP?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I really appreciate you confirming it for me, friend! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
They're both great. Last time I used DDP™, it was with Atmos™ and I remember using the DDP™ Open EQ with the Atmos™ Dialogue Enhancer. That tells me their quite similar because that is my settings for Atmos™ alone. :good:

I'm not sure the requirements for a "Recognized Contributor" are, but I think you've contributed quite a bit to the Nexus 6 community (now branching out with your other thread as well for everyone else).

Have you tried disabling any stock audio effects?

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I am honored and privileged for just one person to feel that way. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
No Pulse with this. :confused:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tpuser59:
Thanks

Lots of people feel that way when they listen to music. You have been solving issues for a lots of folks in a real fast manner. Great job.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I see now, I was thinking you used the /data installation in /system/priv-app but you must have just flashed the whole zip you had shared. I only used the /data installation in /system/priv-app as the change. I can almost guarantee you it's the lib file(s).

I'll post another build in a minute that you can simply flash over your phone's current state. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Ah yes, I flashed the whole zip. Was in the process of that before I read your post about doing that.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Those libraries are the same ones I pulled after 4.0, I wonder if that would've worked. :confused:

The /data installation into /system/priv-app is probably what the difference was on those earlier version.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Still a no-go. I don't wanna keep bothering you with this. Judging by this post, it looks like [MENTION=5420128]Kris Nelson[/MENTION] got it working with Pulse. Maybe she can shed some light on this??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The only thing left would be to add audio_effects entries not already on your device. I don't want to include those in the zip for obvious reasons but this is what I recommend:

Open /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf in the extracted zip folder of the mod and add every entry not already on your file on your device's /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf. It's just a copy and paste job and will ensure everything already on your device will still work like Beats™ and stuff. If you look closely you'll start to recognize the pattern of that file's layout. If you've never done this, it is a fantastic learning opportunity and will allow you to troubleshoot effectively in future scenarios. I'm confident you can do it. :good:

Obviously save changes and reboot when done. The file in the vendor should be enough.

And yes, Kris is an incredibly helpful and patient contributor. :good::good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for providing the G+ link, it is perfectly clear now what it takes, assuming that zip allows Pulse to function.

Delete MusicFX, AudioFX, or DSPManager.

And I never feel bothered by any request, it is an active choice to be here to do everything I can for you guys. If I've had enough, I promise I'll say so. :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Didn't do it either. :eek:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Lol, I love a challenge! I just realized, I never added the build.prop tweaks from the zip that works. You have those entries still?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
These ones?

lpa.decode=false
lpa.releaselock=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
tunnel.decode=false
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes, those were pulled straight from the zip you shared that works.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Added them in. So removing MusicFX was still needed or put that back?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Put it back, just checked that install script and there is nothing removed.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
No luck. I know you say you don't mind, but I thought this would be something simple lol. I'm frustrated.. I can't imagine how you feel.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I feel an overwhelming urge to get a Pulse™ compatible build!

Here's the entire ViPER|Atmos™ 4.2.1 build with everything in that zip except audio_effects.conf, including build.prop lines.

If you flash this with no luck, try copying the audio_effects.conf files onto your device, making sure you keep your originals safe. If that still doesn't work, then it could only be an incompatibility with the Beats™ or Huawei™ files.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
The Beats/Huawei files being included is why I wanna stay with this version rather than just flashing something else.

Dirtying it up right now.. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If the audio_effects.conf's don't do the trick, next step would be to delete the four Huawei™ libraries from /system/lib and rebooting.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I totally understand. That is why this is a very important request to me. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] net.cat:
In system/app there's no Google editor folder :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Send me a screenshot or two of your /system/app folder if you don't mind. And what is your native language?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
I'm just gonna leave it be for now, maybe someone will shed some light on this for us. It's certainly not a deal breaker and I will continue using this. :victory:

Having working Pulse is really awsm thing.. As love to use it with DU...

That's what we're trying to accomplish.

BTW, I'm J in the Hangout ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Gotcha. I don't have that problem on the N6 myself, been just restoring in TiBu since it's a user app so I like it.. Til we get a zip or apk that doesn't break aux anyway. Then back to priv-app it shall go.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] anmolkakkar:
I see people having Nexus 6 are having the same issue as mine.

After installing, i cannot connect to any external device using 3.5 to 3.5, may it be my car audio or any external speakers. It starts playing from external speaker with headphone settings of viper.

Please provide support for connecting to external devices.

Thanks

PS: I am using Nexus 6 on 5.1 (latest stock build rooted)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Either plug headphone jack in very slowly, it'll pop up a Google voice search and play through your speakers then, or reflash your ROM and install Viper apk instead of zips and run in compatibility mode.. Only two options we have.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] anmolkakkar:
Thanks for sharing the tweak, will try and update here... :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Johnny424:
when you say breaks aux, what do you mean? I don't spend a ton of time testing viper but I think everything that should work works lol. only reason I ask is because I have it installed I'm priv-app and I'm wondering if I missed something
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Your auxiliary connection from headphone jack to an external speaker, ex. in a car is broken - instead of playing through the external speakers, it'll act like nothing is plugged in and just play through the phone speakers. With headphones in it doesn't happen. To avoid this with external speakers you have to plug the headphone jack in very slowly, it'll "trick" your phone by launching Google search - from there you can play through your external speakers.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Johnny424:
nvm scratch that read back and seen issue. still do not have any car aux issues using cm12.1 .. I install apk 2.3.4 manually into priv-app, change permissions, reboot, install driver , reboot, set to compatible mode, and set up all my settings also using force enable, reboot and good to go. never had any issues with audio coming from my car speakers or the google search pop up. never flashed any zips though so maybe that's the difference between me and other people?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Yeah you must not have read that closely:p flashing zips doesn't break aux, it forces you to run in compatibility mode if you don't flash zips. If you flash zips you can run in normal mode but aux connectivity breaks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Johnny424:
okay there mr wrong way. so answer me this what is the difference between running in comp. mode vs running in normal mode? is it really worth flashing zips and everything else to run in normal mode, I mean beneficial atleast?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
RIgh now it's not worth it in my opinion to flash zips, no. Normal mode modifies your whole system audio, compatibility only modifies when processing music playback - the rest of sound on your phone such as ringtones remain stock, whereas in normal mode they are modified by V4A as well. There may be more differences, but this is the main one I'm aware of.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] rpxz:
I'm assuming there still isnt a true AUX fix yet?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
The 3 zips someone introduced way after the OP break aux. Follow OP and you'll be fine.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Correct, none found yet, just compatibility mode/slow plugin. The perfect storm has been achieved by numerous users (I posted about it a few pages back, very recent) but it's something none of us have been able to replicate.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] MmmmHmm:
I've seen you in other threads talking about this. You haven't been able to reproduce the perfect setup either huh? I've tried everything myself. Seems dumb we cannot fix this
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Indeed.. we had something going in the Vindicator Kernel thread for a second but was not able to be replicated.. seems to me quite odd that this is such a difficult thing to fix as well. but to be honest with you I don't think the people who could fix this are looking at this issue, though. It appears most of the talent pool is building ROMs and themes at the moment... can''t complain about that lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
I don't know what I did, but I seem to to have everything working properly now. I upgraded my ROM (latest chroma) and noticed that viper was uninstalled in the process for some reason. So I installed it as a normal app, opened viper & the drivers were still installed. Aux is working. As are my headphones & Bluetooth. No compatibility mode. No zips. Nada. Don't know how, or if there's something new in chroma, but I'm happy.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] MmmmHmm:
Good call on that! For now Viper can wait I agree.

Hi,

I had been using lolliviper 2.3.3.0.

Saw this update, uninstalled the driver, disabled v4a (couldn't find an apk to uninstall, android didn't give me the option to uninstall it, only disable), flashed your zip.

Nothing happened, I still have the old v4a, only disabled.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Edit:

Never mind that, I was able to uninstall the older v4a with Titanium Backup and then the new version showed up.

Opened it, installed the drivers as prompted (super quality), rebooted. Opened it again, and driver status says not working. I checked, and SELinux is set to permissive. What should I do?

Further edit:

Solved. Turns out I didn't disable Nuplayer. Feeling like an ass for not following instructions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Johnny424:
[MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION]

lol think I jinxed myself aux is broken is compat. mode with the latest cm 12.1 update. streaming Bluetooth works fine though.. oh well viper seems to be high maintenance and very temperamental
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
It works on AOSP 5.1 ROMs just fine - can't imagine why it wouldn't on CM. Make sure kernel is permissive, etc.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
There's no doubt it'll be done tomorrow. :good:

Even with today's defeat by Pulse™ much work was done today and we have more stuff to play with and even more compatibility covered with the addition of Dolby Digital+ into the ViPER family so I feel good.

Calling it a night, I'll see you guys tomorrow! :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
Hey J, good to see you here Bro... Hope you trying all new builds... Let us know which one working perfectly

You really doing great work with all your efforts brother... PULSE is what I need and if DD+ too in working build then will surely gonna stick with that....
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mario_fernando_Fernandez:
I have used 1.1 GB, and disable FX music
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Reechings:
So I got lazy and didn't want to do any wiping and dirty flashing as I have a few mods and blacked out apps etc so it can be a bit of a chore.

I did however uninstall the dark version of V4A that was in my system/app folder then flashed ViperAtmos 4.2.1. Lo and behold the problem I was having with my Viper effects not applying after reboot until I opened the Viper app is now fixed.

Only thing I noticed and it seems to have been this way since I started using your Viper packages is that when I fast forward a song on multiple different apps it always does a momentary stutter where it seems to play a separate bit of the song I'm on before skipping to the next one.

Probably just something with my setup but wanted to see if it's happening to anyone else.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] net.cat:
Driver still not active. I tried to reflash your mod and also accepting to install the driver.. Nothing :(

I'm going to try this today because i loved Dolby Digital Plus in combination with Viper4A on my Note 2 before.

I have a working dolby/Atmos Beats/Huawei 4.2 but this one should work too i think?

Or is it only for the people they haven't a working 4.2.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Yep, this will work too. It just includes DD+ rather than Atmos.

Should be fine to dirty flash following the directions in the OP..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] GXGOW:
Looks like it's only working in Enforcing when I'm using SuperSU. It's working flawlessly on my OnePlus One on CM13 with SuperSU and SELinux Enforicing, but refuses to work on my LG G Pad 8.3 on CM13 with built-in superuser and SELinux on Enforcing. It does work without any issues in Permissive mode, however.

Apart from that, my music hasn't sounded any better than this! Great job man!

Best audio that I used so far. Thank you.

But a little problem with my notifications. After flashing Viper|Atmos (on top of Viper|Audio, seems to be so loud even if I set it to one. It didn't change or lower the volume.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rhonin86:
check if Dolby-ATMOS' Volume Leveler is set to on - if so simply switch it back to off. If not try to deactivate Atmos by switching it completely off.

Try and report please

Cheers

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Odd, I don't think I've ever "fast-forward" a song and noticed any issues. You're talking about seeking within a track rather than seeking to the next track, right?

The driver zip will never fix your problem when using any ViPER package. It is only for v4a installations from any place but here. Is it possible to try another rom? Your device should have no issue whatsoever. I would feel better with more available/system space. I'd try to find a stock debloated Marshmallow rom for Nexus 5. :good:

It's a viable option for those that can't seem to get Atmos™ working but not limited to that. You may have no issue with Atmos™ whatsoever and prefer DD+. :good:

Wipe System in TWRP and dirty flash your rom.

Precisely. This mod will even work without root if using a Permissive kernel. It's Enforcing that needs SuperSU to function for now.

I'll see what I can find, thank you for reporting. :good:

Easiest and surest way will always be a System wipe in TWRP followed by a dirty flash of your rom. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] net.cat:
Thank you man for you extreme support. I made a new installation from scratch of my phone wiping system too, now everything seems to work smoothly :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] IaKnightHawke:
I switched from ViPER Atmos to ViPER DD by dirty flashing the ViPER DD files over my V/A setup. All is working well thus far. I have not attempted to dirty flash my next Rom nightly yet. That is when my V/A setup crapped out on me. I am hoping V/DD does not do the same. My setup: LG G3: Vzw variant, 777 Kernel. CM 13 nightlies.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sounds like you're about to put it through the ultimate test haha! If it works without a hitch my jaw will hit the floor.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] alb3rtt:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], your old zips without huawei beats would boot on my phone but i'd have persistent driver prompts. I then decided to try an older version of your huawei beats (latest zip at the time) and ran into the same freeze at starting apps. I can flash your latest zip and get logs if you require but there seems to be some sort of issue with huawei beats on my m8.

On a side note, your new 3.0 super hq driver zip works wonderfully on my phone and I have moved viper to priv-apps manually for the meantime but I hope that this information was of some help. Thank you for all your great work, my ears are thankful :)

For anyone wondering, my favourite irs is by far BBE Generic 2, I highly suggest you all try it. Sounds absolutely amazing, been using it since irs' first were supported on viper.
