Have you tried ViPERAtmos_5.1_Sony_Beats_Edition with clean flash?? Give a try and might be you good to go... Rest let's hope for the best..btw V4A from DU G+ is working perfectly with pulse...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paradoxxx:
Hello guys,

I've just landed on the Nexus line again and I'm doing across an issue.

On my previous SGS6, I was flashing a V4A mod that would have effect on spotify and youtube application, and in general every application that streams content to the phone.

Since im on N6 I tried to flash the same thing on my n6, but no luck, effect is just on the music application.

Is there any of these mods that actually processes the Audio from the streaming sources aswell ?

Thanks in advance !
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ak:
yes, but it didn't working. i have tried all versions of 5.2. :angel:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
Give a try to ViPERAtmos_5.1_Sony_Beats_Edition
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] harish_hpd:
can you link me to this? i also need this.. visualization not working with any of the 5.2 zip files.. also tried lib switcher zip.. it was all working with 5.1 viper atmos sony beats edition zip.. can some one give me a link to 5.1?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
here you go
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
Not only about dirty unicorns but what you have offered on other phones and roms is nothing less to great as well! Me, my brother and my several friends are enjoying these mods a lot and are very grateful to me for installing the mod and I can't even imagine how grateful they would be to you for creating it! It feels like I didn't know what quality music was before I tried these mods or I can say what I thought was quality music was just an illusion. As long as I and other guys here who are using your amazing mods will be listening to music, you will be remembered every time we hit that play button! And not only mods but the support you have provided with such love and passion, so consistent and even to all users, it's really amazing and great! I am not a native English speaker so I can't find more praising words, but I hope you get my feelings. And about the drunkenness episode, that happens to everyone, chill about it! :)

Is pulse what I see at the bottom???

---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

So the key is for people like myself who don't have lock screen visualizer working, you have to flash this zip, but also clean install the ROM too correct?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
As of now pulse working only with DU, so no use to give w try for other Roms... V5.2 from OP working perfectly with all other Roms.. If you using DU try 5.1 if any other ROM then 5.2 would be latest...

Pulse works for me using Black Player EX.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] after reading through a few pages, I just want to point some things out.. [MENTION=5149175]deeplyyoung[/MENTION] said he has permissive with DU. DU is Enforcing by default. I haven't had any issues with Pulse working on any of the 5.x versions of your packages (I always use ViperAtmos Sony Beats Edition).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
I also mentioned I use EX so no idea of default... Seems peoples don't like me to post anything hence now onwards I'll become a silent reader and downloader which is way much better...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's awesome man, I'm glad to have you here! :good:

So no factory reset to get it going?

So does my patching of /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf break Pulse™ for those devices? Does it also mean that removing or renaming that file break Pulse™?

You're most welcome! :good:

Absolutely! The deep buffer removal during installation is what makes that difference. :good:

Thank you! :good:

Man, thank you very much! I'm still sick and hungover on top of that, and reading that certainly lifted my spirits. :good:

Who doesn't like you to post here man? I look forward to seeing your name on every page! You're very helpful, informative, and have a lot to offer. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I saw that switch in settings but left it on Enforcing. I wonder if that makes a difference with the two working together. I'm going to switch to Permissive and start trying stuff today. Are you on Enforcing or Permissive?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paradoxxx:
Could you actually link me the right zip I shall flash ?

YAOSP ROM, Based on 6.0.1,

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
All packages have that deep buffer removal but I think you'll really enjoy ViPER|Atmos™ 5.2 Sony™ Beats™ Edition. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paradoxxx:
Thanks a ton, gonna try that now :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Absolutely! Let me know if you need anything else after flashing. No wipes are necessary either. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paradoxxx:
Jesus, that's perfect, everything is working as expected. Thanks a ton dude !
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jeevan_500:
thanks dude

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] thanks for the stock viper 5.2 zip bro everything is working very well . i have a doubt what is the difference between stock and Sony Beats Edition dude . can i flash ViPERAudio 5.2 Sony Beats Edition on 5.2 stock zip file bro or i will have to reflash the rom
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You can absolutely flash any version over Stock with no issues or wipes. Since I don't remove files that might be stock on Sony™ and HTC™ devices, a system wipe and dirty rom flash in TWRP is required to go to Stock from a Sony™ Beats™ edition. :good:

Edit*

The additional files are /system sound libraries and effects always activated by the audio_effects.conf file. No action from the user necessary for any function. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] areyie9292:
popup to install driver always shown when i open viper.. how to fix this? i'm on MM today.. no problem with lollipop rom that i have tried before this..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy1355:
Try to disable stock audio effects and the reflash the viper that u downloaded
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] EJerVJerO:
Can you upload your profiles so easier to import?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] puritan007:
Are you saying it is needing enforcing or permissive? I'm confused
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're likely out of sufficient free /system space. Delete the Google Editor folders from /system/app, reboot, and flash ViPER again. :good:

I don't know if it makes a difference yet as far the compatibility between the two. However, I think I've found a workaround preventing the need for a system wipe or factory reset for the DU builds. The title has N6 in the title because I'm using its DU audio_effects.conf in the build. It will likely work on other DU devices as well as as 6p since I added the /vendor path. Being a third party mod, there is no chance of this being an official feature of Dirty Unicorns. Even if I were made a team member, this is still not an original work by me, so this may be the best option available. It pains me to see so many awesome users having to Factory Reset their device to be able to enjoy this mod with the awesome Pulse™ feature of their rom so I am willing to break my own rules in overwriting these audio_effects.conf files. Doing so, I only feel comfortable as long as the device and ROM name are included with the package, but like I said, this should work on other devices with DU. Devices not on DU are better off with a standard ViPER package. :good:

Any suggestion how to make visualization working in cm based ROM.. On resurrection ROM.. Nexus 6p.. After flashing viper no visualization.. What do I have to do?? I tried clean flash too.. Any suggestion??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Which package did you flash?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jkoll66:
It's works if I only soft reboot. If I do a normal reboot I lose the driver.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Some Samsung devices can have issues with the preinstalled driver it seems. Try flashing this installer over your phone's current state.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chanthoeunpen:
thanks this 1 works with the nexus6p :good::good::good: finaly my pulse works
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jimbus369:
After listening for some time, the audio gives some problems like: scattering, strange bass effect and interrupted audio by one side of the auricular. it's a bug of this version, audio card or kernel problems (s4 i9505 crDroid CM13) or my headset can't support bass frequency? I am sorry for my English.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Gawd:
So I just came here and wanted to try it out, but the OP is just too long and very confusing. Also it has a lot of attachments and the thread has got 500+ pages for me to read. Can someone just tell me what to do in some simple steps? It would be really helpful. I'm running 6.0.1 CM13 Unofficial by Sultanxda on OnePlus One and currently using V4A. I uninstalled the driver a few moments ago to this out though, but this got me confused. Any help would be appreciated. State the precautions also. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Lol, not sure where you got that from. I was assuming you set it to Permissive yourself, so stated normally it's Enforcing.

Always Enforcing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
The 5.2 version isn't working for music players I use :\. The driver is installed properly and my SELinux is permissive. Is there a way to download 5.0 version? lol that seemed to work well for me
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What version? You might have better results after deleting the following folder and rebooting:

/system/etc/sony_effect

I know it's a lot to take in. Simply flash ViPER|Atmos™ 5.2 Sony™ Beats™ Edition over your phone's current state if you want the most that is offered. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I've just now added all 5.0 packages back to the OP attachments section. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] areyie9292:
What is your current status with the mod?[/QUOTE]

Current status is abnormal. erm. i think i need to revert to lollipop rom.. huhu
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

Try swiping v4a out of Recent and open v4a back up and see what happens.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Guys, I will be pulling 5.2 soon from the OP attachments section so grab them if you want them. 5.0 is continuously proving itself to be the best version since ViPER4Android 2.4.0.1 was released. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yeah, that version has that folder.

Weird, that sounds like not enough /system space was available on the Marshmallow rom.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
:highfive: Still using 5.0 in the ROM you built. No issues. At. All.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jimbus369:
I still have this issue. But when I deactivate V4A all works fine. I have tried with my amplifier and the result is the same! I try to explain better my problem: With some tracks like "Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits in Flac 872 Kbps" the last 50 seconds on the guitar solo, my audio becomes strange and one side of headset ceases to function... My configuration: crDroid Cm13, Viper Atmos Sony Beats 5.2, Viper XHiFi... I don't know what to do.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Tex99:
Good idea :) thank you. 5.0 A or B ?

Ain't that the truth lol!

Oh man, it's absolutely XHiFI.

Wow, you are brilliant. I had fooled myself by forgetting I slipped those in there on you guys for a blind test. 5.0A but 5.0B is what I actually posted back up. Thank you very much! Everything will be corrected in 5.2.1 just so people don't think they're going backwards in version numbers lol.

I'm trying to install ViPERAtmos_5.0_Sony_Beats_Edition and after flashing it doesn't appear anywhere, No v4a icon anywhere.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
Manually install V4A as a user app, than proceed to uninstall it. Reboot. V4A should be back.

This error is due to updater-script deleting data/data and data/app.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jkoll66:
Flashed the zip you provided. Now driver won't stick at all.

Galaxy , MOAR rom, Ktoonzes kernel.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
System/etc/sony_effect is still present in ViPERAtmos_5.0_Sony_Beats_Edition
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's fantastic news!

The file wasn't written to /vendor/etc by the zip? It was supposed to do that for you. I don't want you guys to have to do anything but flash and play a song. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vibrantliker:
Thanks. Never would have known to do that. Is there a way to verify the version I have installed somewhere (does Sony beats appear anywhere?)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's not an error, it's common on a clean system even but even more common when flashing over an existing, differently named v4a install. He likely never even had a data installation. If this were the case, every single user would report this as viper data is always deleted and you would be the only user with success because your script does not delete data. Moving the v4a folder out of /system/priv-app, rebooting, moving it back, setting permissions, and rebooting is a guaranteed way to make it appear.

Have you had any luck with driver installation in the past?

Yeah it sure does lol! I had forgotten that I had slipped that in on you guys as a blind test when I posted 5.0 back up for the second time. 5.2.1 will be a corrected 5.0 because most people don't like going backwards in version numbers lol!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
Neither Sony/ beats have a GUI, they work directly from system. You can only verify V4A version directly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Version Info.text was introduced in 5.2 and will appear in 5.2.1 as well.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
[MENTION=4807909]-decipher-[/MENTION], I am willing to remove data removal one more time for 5.2.1 tonight. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jimbus369:
XHiFi uninstalled and I still have this problem.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
Thanks, but could you please explain in detail on the reason as to why those lines exist? (I just wish to understand this further).

AFAIK the presence of both data/data and data/app should be no issue when flashing your packages UNLESS the previous user V4A installation is signed with a different keystore (non official V4A).

If that is not the case, than the system V4A (installed by your package) should perfectly get along with the existing USER installation. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Edit∆∆∆*****

5.2.1 removes the /system/etc/sony_effect folder introduced in 5.2. A system wipe will be required to remove this folder as deleting through my installer might delete stock files on some Sony™ devices. Alternatively, this file can be manually deleted to avoid a system wipe if desired. 5.2.1 also removes the data removal of ViPER4Android during installation.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vibrantliker:
Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bkjordan04:
I know it's odd for to say this but over at the pure nexus thread they were looking to add v4A to its roms get ahold of them to sorry just trying to help the masses
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Try a clean installation of a 5.2.1 package just released. :good:

Sure man, the biggest and most immediate hurdle when creating a ViPER4Android installation for the public is dealing with the countless ViPER4Android installations already out there. This causes the app to FC or not even appear. Residual data information can cause the same exact thing. Instead of recommending to delete app data I decided to do it for you guys. The entire vision of ViPER|Audio™ is to be the most seamless and painless ViPER4Android installation available with the fewest requirements for the user after booting up. We'll see how this goes for 5.2.1 and the lines will only return if numerous reported issues are made that are fixed by deleting app data. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
Can the 5.2.1 version work on music players such as Black and Google ? 5.2 weren't taking effect for some reason on the AOSP 5.1.1. rom for Galaxy S4
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're most welcome!

That would be awesome if beans would want to include ViPER|Atmos™. Every one is absolutely free to use and share everything as much as they want. The only thing I would request is to make sure the ViPER Version Info.text remains or include it in the build.prop instead. That way users will know what version they have, otherwise it'll be very hard for me know for sure which version was used in the rom. :good:

5.2.1 should be more compatible as the sony_effect folder certainly harmed more than it helped. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] viddy1355:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] what does the neon driver do?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's the single available driver in the new ViPER4Android apk for arm NEON chipsets. The installer in the OP attachments section is for those just looking for a proper driver installation that do not want to install a ViPER package here. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] squall_kay:
js wondered thus the mod improve loud speaker quality? using N6p here.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vjtigas:
So if I don't want a system wipe, the only thing I would do is to just delete the folder? Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|Atmos™ substantially increases speaker output and quality. The normal reaction is that it is a bit too loud but can be controlled by lowering Output Gain in v4a's Speaker tab with the Expert UI Setting Enabled. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
[MENTION=5079472]sonophilos[/MENTION], if you post every currently activated setting or post screenshots I can manually create the profile zip for you and everyone else. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
I'm sorry, no I can't right now. No file explorers I've used have actually let me do anything with the profiles, which are bizarrely in /mnt/runtime/write/legacy/ViPER4Android - a directory I can see and V4A can read/write, but neither ADB nor terminal nor any file explorers seem to be able to interact with in any meaningful way.

I will be looking for a solution, I would really prefer to upload, it's easier for me too.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

I will send you a PM as soon as I've finished tweaking settings - I'd really appreciate it and I'm sure the few users after me for it would appreciate it too.

I'm starting to think my device is just all kinds of special that makes it difficult for me to develop or mod for other devices that aren't also special in that manner. Like the V4A profiles issue, or the cracks/pops which are STILL there when using Atmos at all, even with every recommendation and suggestion I've made in effect. There's an official stock MM ROM for my device now so maybe I'll break down and RUU it up to see if you're right about my Kernel dev being to blame (or if it's just hima itself).

</rant>
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
I use solid explorer to reach that location. Most file explorers can't, but it's no problem for solid.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Have you tried copying the folder from that location and zipping it from /sdcard for example?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :

Give this a try, you guys. Solid Explorer appears to have done it.
