My problem is I have too many mods. It's hard to remember it all and proper flash order..

Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache,

Install cataclysm

Install 3minit mod

Install supersu2.66 (with commands echo for systemless to keep android pay working )

Flash custom font (flashable zips thread)

Flash elementalx kernel

Flash your audio mod va4 dark

Flash custom boot screen (because I can)

Wipe cache, dalvik cache

Reboot

Hope it boots

Install busybox on railz

Apply butterfly kernel script

Apply audio profile

Possibly redo layer theme...

Open elementalx app disable touch boost, enable 6 core, set everything to apply at boot...

Reboot hope it all work still.

This is what I go thru for an update when you recommend I don't dirty flash.. Rofl

The hifi one says I don't have root when I do...

Anyway is not your fault I'm crazy and have to customize every single thing... But that's why we use nexus right lol

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I forgot how aggressive XHiFi was when it comes to root. I can get v4a to work without root extremely easy, but not XHiFi. You have root so that's not it obviously. Why BusyBox on Rails? Stericson's app is the most consistent, and I'm pretty sure I had to update BusyBox through the app even though I had the same version # installed at various times when I was testing the functionality without root. Are you on Enforcing? XHiFi likely needs Permissive. I'm sorry for not being a lot of help with XHiFi, I just have no need for it and my decision was sealed when the app was discontinued.

A lot of what you flash can be zipped up into your custom rom which would eliminate many steps. You'd need to redo it as your mod updates become available but it works great for fonts and boot animations which you don't change or update often.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] puritan007:
I do leave things enforcing, and I make sure systemless root and no xbin.. So between all those it probably makes sense Oh well things are great as is anyway.

I like bb rails because it defaults to systemless while normal installs in system and screws up android pay. I get the functionalities but still keep enforcement /whatever all android pay looks at happy lol.

I don't know how to make roms and such like that but it would be nice if I did. I could include everything. :)

It's a wonderfully time to android... I have a very great device with all the security (encrypted /enforcing/fingerprint security) but also all the mods, or makes me very happy and grateful to all the devs on xda and everywhere else for making it all possible :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's clearer for sure now. You're best bet with that setup is to stick with ViPER|Atmos™ or ViPER|Audio™ as those are the only two that will work perfectly in Enforcing. Once you get a good installation, just update your rom as it's released without flashing anything other than Dalvik Cache and Cache. Your sound mod will survive as well as your other /system mods.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Ah, that might explain the FC I had with Atmos. New zip sounds good, gave it a run on my ride home from work.

Looks like no help with the Pulse issue, eh? :crying:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mikeprius:
Hi

I loaded the audiophile through the profile. When I extracted I extracted the 2 folders then pasted them in. Was I supposed to extract all the individual files or the folders with the files is suffice? I did create a unique folder name then loaded them in though as folders instead of all the files.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yeah, sorry about that first zip. I was hoping you might have received a response from Kris. Did you ever try copying those audio_effects.conf files onto your device? That was all that was left to do. Everything else was in that final zip I gave you. If that didn't do it then I would know for sure the issue is the additional Beats™ or Huawei™ files. I could start from scratch with just Beats™ added, but I didn't want to have you repeatedly flash stuff again when Kris is usually responsible and available.

In fact, I have a corrected Beats™ files zip you could flash over that Pulse™ build you know works. I think that's the easiest test. Just queue it up after the Pulse™ build whenever you decide to try again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Meging the two folders is definitely easier. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
I dirty flashed about 20 times last night probably haha. I'll give this a shot after I finish eating.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If it fails afterwards then we'll know what was up the whole time. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] shabbat:
Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], just to report my impression on 4.2.1 with DD+. I always wiped my phone system, cache, dalvik before flashing your mod, flash its rom, kernel and then I flashed your mod viperDD+ with and without xhifi, and I think that ViperAtmos without DD+ is already perfect and better than DD+. with DD+ and xhifi the sound effects is not good as ViperAtmos, the sound has some problems, for example there are some distortion, and when there is a notification message the sound effects disappearrr and the sound volume go down, very low, when unlocking the phone the sound is weird, not good to hear, there is a sound like cricracricra, there wasn't any of that with 4.2 Viperatmos. :)

Anyway I'm always ready to test your amazing mod :thumbup:

Thank you
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] svnhvn:
OMFG, 4.2.1DD+ is rocking my ear. Had to turn down my usual volume level. Great job my friend [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vhick:
Just a feedback. I try to dirty flash ViperAtmosDD+ over ViperAtmos and I loose root in some of my apps. SElinuxChanger app cannot gain root. I think too much dirty flash cause the problem I will clean install now.

I agreed. ViperDD+ is awesome load but ViperAtmos gives me a balanced clarity.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] peekie:
Having played with the settings in both the dolby atmos and viper i must say the dolby atmos gives the best overall sound , its so loud that on my mx player having the sound on vol 3 rocks whatever film is being played and the sound is crisp and clear , on the viper it sounds distorted on youtube videos , but by just using the dolby atmos iam super happy it makes the phone sound perfect . like alot say when you have this mod installed there is no going back to the standard sound from music fx . a top mod from a great guy well done.

What is the recommended app/method for determining free space in /system?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
XHiFi likely needs Permissive. I'm sorry for not being a lot of help with XHiFi, I just have no need for it and my decision was sealed when the app was discontinued.

I'm not sure that XHIFI needs Permissive,Do you remember yesterday when i have installed XHIFI combo?

I know i'm a special case because i use an tweaked stock kernel on my Note 5.

dr.ketan made an viperfix that we can use viper4A on that kernel because it's enforcing.

And what makes me doubt that yesterday DDP didn't work because it needed permissive kernel but XHIFI did work,and

before one week or so i used xtream 7.03 with your Dolby/Atmos and working great and i deleted in the zipfile from xtreme

the permissive change in su.d.

So for me everything what need a permissive kernel works for me on enforcing with the viperfix from dr.ketan only DDP not.

My question is why.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
After copying the edited audio_effects.conf into the correct location(s) it will retain the /sdcard permissions. Long press the new file after it's copied over the original and choose set or change permissions. The correct permissions in /system partition are 0644 or:

√ √ []

√ [] []

√ [] []

Awesome, I'll have something for you today. :good:

Fantastic report and exactly what I find as well. The descriptions of the three packages above the installation instructions are for the "official" packages. The other two are more like "crack flasher" editions. I am going to edit the OP today to make that clear. Thank you for your feedback! :good:

It possibly could be the included Permissive script as well. I felt this inclusion was important, at least at first, to prevent many unexpected issues and FC reports.

Thank you very much! I agree, ViPER|Atmos™ is certainly the best package, in my usage and opinion. I want everyone to have the opportunity to find what is best for their usage, too. :good:

There is no better file manager than Root Explorer. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're probably right. DD+™ absolutely does need Permissive. If everything else works on Enforcing than that explains it clearly. Thank you for that informative report. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ruka82:
Hi to all,

if i want to increase the quality of the sound especially the volume of the speaker of my nexus 5, what is the best zip to flash?

The simple ViPERAudio 4.2.1 Beats Huawei Edition.zip?

Another question, some time ago i have found the mono surround mod (the same audio in the 2 speaker) and the stereo surround mod (left and right in the 2 speaker), is this present in all the zip in the first page or not?

It is connected to the various settings according to the application that we find ourselves according to zip installed?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
For speaker boost, all will work by boosting output gain in v4a settings. You might get better results though with the addition of either Dolby Atmos™ or DD+™.

The stereo mod you describe is achievable only in /system/etc/mixer_paths.xmland will vary from device to device. Because of this, you will not find this additional mod in any packages. It would have to be a device specific package.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gianboy:
Does anyone have audio sync problem in youtube when convolver is on, there is a delay like a lip sync issue
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I just realized that the Beats™ zip is only a very small implementation of my Beats™ inclusion. I have a strong feeling, it is the audio_effects.conf in the Pulse™ zip that allows it to still function.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I decided to leave the audio_effects.conf files and just added the necessary entries to them as well as the full Beats™ inclusion found in ViPER|Audio™.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Even though I hardly view YouTube™, I noticed this the other day. YouTube™ is a very temperamental app. You might try disabling v4a entirely and see if the syncing issue is corrected. You'll know, without a doubt, if it's the culprit or not.

Edit*

So disabling Convolver corrects the issue?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] hb17:
I have XHiFi working on version 4.2. I added in your zip in the app directory instead of priv-app. That's all I did and flashed it. My phone is an OPO on Darkobas ROM.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
wow, is it gonna work with other Rom's as well??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gianboy:
Yes with convolver disabled the issue is gone
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] animeshdinda:
Installed Viper Atmos DD+ 4.2.1

Looks like V4A and DD+ is working, but atmos is not. No FC though. Just cannot notice any effect of enabling and/or disabling Atmos.

Previously was on Viper atmos and it was working perfectly.

CM13, Permissive SELinux, Moto G 1st gen.

Anyway great work!!

Super soundmod from a super Dev...??

Thanks so much guitardehero

Just a quick question. ..

How to use this super mod with or over XTREAMusic mod or Pdsire of latest version

If can explain about it

Even please explain a number wise flashing with these mods

Thanks again sir for beautiful mod
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It should work on other devices, too. Any incompatibility will likely be the result of losing the original stock audio_effects.conf entries not provided by the files in the zip. :good:

Great find! Have you tried adjusting the Cross Channel percentage under Convolver?

If the EQ wave dances during audio playback then it is processing. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] animeshdinda:
Sadly it does not :(

I could be wrong but using v4a breaks android pay anyways, at least it does for me. Using 2.66 and ensuring busybox is also systemless(which latest busybox also defaults to systemless FYI) android pay still doesn't pass for me
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] techinv:

Delete Chrome and Google Editor folders from /system/app and reboot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
V4A does not break android pay

My guess is if using systemless root that the su/xbin_bind directory causes Android pay not to work.

I'm using v4a, 2.66 systemless root, ElementalX, Cataclysm rom and Android pay works great on my n6p
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
So what did you do that would be different from mine using 2.66 then? I have verified my su hasn't touched the system in anyway so I would doubt that to be the problem. Now that I think about it I did have to modify the build.prop for the audio focussing issue but I swear AP didn't work even before that. I really can't remember since I changed a lot lately but I'm 99% sure it wasn't working before I edited that.

That being said I am stock with no changes other than root and v4a

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

Love this mod firstly! But question about the audio focussing as discussed in the op. I made the changes directly as described and it works properly for receiving a notification, however when I get a phone call it will not return to processing until I do a reboot even with the edits to the builder.prop. I'm on atmos 4.2.1, any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Try adding 44100 to voice_tx as well and then reboot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bkkzak:
Firstly, hats off to you! I can't believe how active and responsive you are in these threads! Great job sir, and thanks for getting me going!

Secondly, I extracted the zip and put Audiophile inside V4A working directory/Profile, then I put the Kernel folder right next to the original Profile folder in working directory. I tested V4A and Dolby Atmos - they both improve sound immensely but I was surprised how much the Dolby Atmos helped!! Seemingly more so than V4A! A couple things to note: on my phone speaker the Dolby Atmos setting "Volume Leveler" made the sound too loud so I had to keep it off, and it had negligible effect in my car (bluetooth). But I was switching between phone Speaker and Bluetooth, to test differences with V4A/DA on/off, and when I disconnect my bluetooth the V4A profile stays on Bluetooth (doesn't revert to Speaker) and eventually after opening/closing V4A/DA/Spotify, in order to get V4A profile to revert back to Speaker, my phone speaker stopped emitting sound (though V4A and DA still showed moving equalizer and Spotify showed song as playing). I rebooted and back to normal - so has anyone else had this problem? I will report back if it persists next time I switch over, or if problem doesn't persist next time I need to switch.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I really appreciate your kind words, I'm glad to do it. :good:

I've experienced the same issue you describe and it does drive me crazy lol. My Sony™ SRS-55X does this sometimes and I think it's caused by certain circumstances as if the Bluetooth receiver is constantly trying to reconnect, even with Bluetooth turned off on the phone. My Pioneer™ DEH80PRS never does this at all. You might try different combinations of exiting like turning the receiver off first.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
Hi, two questions please.

Viper|atmos has the same audio_effects.conf as viper|audio ?

If I flash viper|atmos and turn off atmos will I have the exact same effects as viper|audio ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Each app, library, and effect has its own entries removed and patched into your audio_effects.conf files to avoid duplicate entries. However, it will not remove entries not patched back in so the Dolby Atmos™ entries would remain after flashing ViPER|Audio™. I don't feel comfortable removing anything from your device that won't be replaced. And you will never find an audio_effects.conf file in.any ViPER package for this reason.

To answer your second question, turning Dolby Atmos™ should be the same as having ViPER|Audio™ only.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] techinv:
Sorry, one newbie question after the next :(

So, for some reason, both ES File Explorer and Root Explorer don't seem to be recognized by my version of SuperSU2.61. So as a result, I can't delete anything in /system/app. By the way, I only see a Chrome folder, don't see Google Editor.

ElemX kernel manager and Flashify ARE recognized and can get root just fine.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Boot to recovery

Mount > check System

Advanced > File Manager

Navigate to/system/app

Tap Chrome and swipe to delete

But, you should get /system r/w mountable for ease of use in the future.

Alright...this is not my first time asking questions in here. I dont really understand which one of those drivers/apps should i flash, i want to have the same sound experience as HTC m7 on my SAMSUNG S4 i9505.

I've got htc m7 beats earphones and they are damn hard with htc m7, so im gonna use the same earphones on my sg s4.

Please tell me what to use and how!

Thanks in advance and forgive my english ?

I'd start with ViPER|Audio™ 4.2.1 Beats™ Huawei™ Edition.

Is anyone having this same issue?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Vanojan:
Successfully flashed!

So what do i have to enable or disable to get the sound experience?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Read the OP for a comprehensive collection of information. Play a song on the M7. Play a song on your phone with ViPER. Adjust v4a accordingly. ;)

I know that doesn't sound very helpful, but you now have all the tools in your hands and your ears are the ultimate deciding factor anyway. Don't feel overwhelmed and just take it slow. I've been tweaking for several years, you're never truly "finished" anyway lol.

Having some issues today after updating chroma ROM for Nexus 5X. Viper audio was working fine before. Tried mounting vendor and flashing Viper 4.2 again after installing the new vendor zip, but it shows as not processing still when playing in Spotify. It didn't prompt to install the audio file when opening viper and I deleted the viper file in the init d folder.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
