Great feedback right there! I'm wondering if it's the absence of the Deep Buffer paragraph from /system/etc/audio_policy.conf. ViPER|Atmos™ 4.3DB below does not remove that paragraph. I would also try deleting these folders before flashing:

/data/data/com.vipercn.viper4android_v2

/data/data/com.atmos.daxappUI

/data/data/com.atmos
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I have a ViPER|Atmos™ 4.3 Stock package without Beats™ and Huawei™. I'm thinking I should make that available in the OP so look for it in a minute.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] just flash the v4.3 of viperdd+ but the sounds is like distorted bro Unlike v4.1
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Have you tried ViPER|Atmos™ 4.3 Beats™ Huawei™?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes, that package is ridiculous and just for fun which warranted the slogan/disclaimer. I get tons of requests for XHiFi and other mod combinations so this was a way to provide that so they could "hear" it for themselves. It was just for a limited time and was never part of the standard packages. They were removed yesterday but will always be available in my AndroidFileHost, albeit with almost zero support possible for it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Still im with viperdd+ bro. I want to try but i dont want to dirty flash rom. It makes my device a bit laggy. Is there any other way to uninstall it and install the viperatmos?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
I agree, it would be nice to have a procedure of what files to delete so that we could just flash the new update.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Delete:

/system/priv-app/Ds

/system/priv-app/DsUI

/system/dolby

/system/lib/libstagefright_soft_ddpdec.so

/system/lib/soundfx/libdseffect.so

Install ViPER|Atmos™

That's a great idea, I'll create a list for the OP today. My reason for not deleting absolutely everything during the flash is this:

Say you have Dolby Atmos™ already installed from the official Dolby thread for example. I don't want you to flash ViPER|Audio™ 4.3 Beats™ Huawei™ and then find that your Dolby Atmos™ app is gone because what you flashed does not install Dolby Atmos™. It's a fine line there, and I've decided the best way, for now anyway, is to only delete what will immediately be reinstalled.

The list of files to delete is a great idea and certainly the best compromise. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Guess it depends a lot on rom. Best to pay attention to op in your rom thread. I'm on a 6p with Chroma, and have not found a gapps that can be dirty flashed with it. I always used Open Gapps because I could dirty flash all the latest, but now I have to just let the Playstore update everything. Works just as well. You just need a good clean install to start, then everything should just work (including v4a).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ryanallaire:
∆+1 I haven't tried just wiping dalvik cache and cache and flashing an update, but I'm sure I'll end up with no processing. Also I mentioned it before but never got a response, would the app not having a folder in /system/priv-app be a problem for not being able to save/load effect profiles?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sounds like you downloaded a JB KK version I shared with a KK user. That is the only version that has the apk directly in the /system/priv-app folder.

I've decided that I'm going to write the scripts for dirty flashing resulting in just having what the package flashed contains. I really don't want to add more stuff to read (just did) and the whole point of this thread and ViPER|Audio™ as a whole is to do all the dirty work for you. My mission objective is for you to flash and enable if it's not already enabled. 4.3.1 will be a script edit only so no need to flash unless you're wanting to try a different package. :good:

Just kinda wondering if possible to get the Dolby sound without viper

Nexus 6P

Chroma 1/18

EX 1.05 - Enforcing

ViPERAtmos 4.3 Beats Huawei

Atmos - open, DE on

V4a - Firequalizer off, conv BBE 2 (or your pref)

This yields no issues.

Dirty flash rom (just wipe cache) requires reflash of EX and v4a (wipe cache only).

[MENTION=3200478]Woody[/MENTION], remarkable post. Very informative and applicable.

Today i like to try Project Desire V.L.U can i flash it and flash the ViperAtmos 4.3.1 stock after it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for such an incredibly informative write-up concerning a very common occurrence. Your write-up is now part of the OP for everyone to see. Kudos to you sir! :good::good::good:

The source of Dolby Atmos™ is linked near the top of the OP and should provide exactly what you want. :good:

It's part of the OP now. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Look in my Side Projects folder at my AndroidFileHost link. If you want the backup script then, yes, flash ViPER|Atmos™ 4.3.1 on top of the official Project Desire™.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
It's not really a booster but certain settings and/or IRS changes can make it louder.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] grinchyboy:
Wow. I was getting the no sound through aux bug every time I flashed the zip. Then I only installed the apk and now everything works perfect!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
I am far from a dev but I compared most of the files (what I could open in notepad) to stock vs what's in the zip and LOTS of code is missing. Not sure exactly what but I did see the zips lack any reference to USB audio which is in stock and added in Android 5.0 - not that that's the problem. But just saying a lot is missing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] urnamese3:
So you guys are just installing the apk without putting it in /system/ right? Which roms are you guys on? Is viper working flawlessly?

I updated OP btw.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
I flashed the zip in the OP which should only be putting the app in system, then installed the apk from Viper4Android's website (same as check for updates in Viper4Android).

OP zip is/was the older version and needs some tlc to get working. The update works better.

I prefer installing it as a system app because on my last phone, the memory management of Android kept killing Viper. Making it a system app means this is less likely. Others have said they haven't had an issue with this so don't worry too much about it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] anmolkakkar:
Doesnt seem to work if i follow steps other than installing the zip.

I am on N6Shamu User ROM (v1.2.2) though. Seems plugging the audio pin slowly is the only option for now.

Not very happy though :'(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
Are you running Viper in compatibility mode? Only way to work with OP. Might have to disable nuplayer too and disable or remove audio fx or music fx - the stock eq app.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] crosseyecricket:
Head Phone Jack.

I still cant get my head phone jack to work on my Nexas 6. Ive Tried everything.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Try searching this thread for your problem? :p

Just playing around a bit - since you are a new guy I will catch you up to speed on what you missed instead of referring you to search. Auxiliary port is broken by flashing the zips. The way around it is not to flash the zip, but simply to download the normal Viper4Android apk from the Viper4Android thread and to put it in compatibility mode as it does not work this way in normal mode - you will ge your head phone jack to work this way and Viper still works. Just restore a backup or reflash your ROM to get rid of the zip you flashed first - the other method is, if you really want it in normal mode instead of compatibiliy mode, plug your headphone jack in super, super slowly. It'll pop up the Google voice dialog and "trick" your phone into thinking that you are trying to use Google voice, and then it will play through your external speakers instead of your phone speakers. I would recommend the first way without using the zips - it's much easier in my experience.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
I don't run V4A in compatibility mode, just set SELinux to permissive with app or kernel that is set that way already. Works fine for me like that.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Huh? On Vindicator (your sig) you shouldn't even have to set to permissive I don't think.. did they bake V4A into OptiPop? If not that's strange, have you actually checked when it was plugged into auxiliary to make sure it was processing? In my experience music will play but if you actually check, no effect and V4A is not processing when it is working in normal mode without any zips or audio_policy.conf modding. I'd be curious to see how it works in normal mode if it is working/processing when actually playing music via auxiliary connection.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
I've noticed "working fine" is VERY subjective.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
I'm pretty sure if it's about V4A on the N6 both you and I have noticed bro - we've both been on this lil quest since the phone dropped almost lol
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
You're right about selinux as Vindicator is already set to permissive. V4A is not baked in that I know on Optipop, or at least the build I'm on as it's a rev or two old. All I have done is installed the apks and it works. It did not work on CM based ROMs for me, but on the Optipop is working fine. By default on Optipop it has Awesome Player diabled so it is using Nuplayer which I think is necessary.

I guess I do not use aux jack as I either play over Bluetooth or sometimes the speakers if that makes a difference.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
Oh I have! Believe me. It's a huge sacrifice to not have aux in my car! And that I can't do. :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Same here man, hence I use compatibility mode and no zips for now lol
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
I thought I read somewhere that CM based ROMs have audio stuff that effects V4A working properly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
It could, but I have a kernel that is friendly to V4A on my CM ROM, and I am on an AOSP ROM right now
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] philseven:
The permissive app is not on the play store any more
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
You could probably start here.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
XHiFi removed?? DD+ is better ? And as I'm using V4A over my secondary Rom's, how do I wipe system (as no option for secondaries ) & dirty flash ROM, if want to upgrade.... Just curious, as not always swap Rom's with primary to do so... As you too using MR, how you upgrading your stuff [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Zertech:
The audio crackling I had stopped after disabling Fire equalizer, enabling a manual atmos setting, and then re-enabling Fire equalizer.

Unsure of why. But I'm very pleased with the quality of my music. Better than any other audio mod I've used.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
Look in the OP he added a section as to what files to delete if you want to change versions and don't want to do a system wipe.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] peekie:
Dolby atmos is the best for my nexus 6 , the sound when watching star wars is amazing , dont use the viper as thats distorted sound , so a happy puppy here.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I don't use MultiRom anymore. Your best chance would be to delete /system/addon.d/23-v4a(xxx).sh while booted into secondary rom, boot into TWRP, navigate to secondary rom, and dirty flash its rom. Hopefully, it'll wipe System in the process.

Good find and great info for others to try! :good:

I removed that section as flashing any 4.3.1 version will take care of any dirty flash scenario. Plus, I ran out of characters allowed in the OP lol. :eek:

Glad you found a great setup for your usage and decided to share it with us! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That is an official package and is in the OP attachments section at version 4.3.1. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
I'll keep this in mind while upgrading, right now enjoying AP with XHifi...

And have truly read whole OP thrice but not able to get the removal section... Thought might be I'm wrong...[emoji14] [emoji12] [emoji13]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bkjordan04:
Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Nope, it was a very short lived section lol! While typing that section I thought to myself that this was crazy and not at all in line with my vision as I am the one supposed to do all this for you guys. And providing different packages means I need to make them interchangeable and requiring no wipes at all. That is why 4.3.1 dropped out of nowhere and the addition to the Uninstallation and Removal section made only a very brief appearance. It started with a user request so if you guys want anything or have any ideas to make ViPER|Audio™ better please know that I take everything mentioned into consideration. :good:

And you'll always have the special editions at my AndroidFileHost link. I need to reserve this thread space to official packages that have full support and troubleshooting. Of course, I will always be available to help with these special editions, just in a limited way as I don't test them personally. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Or look for a layers app if your rom supports it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's a great idea! In fact, I think it would be awesome to devote a section to Layers that overlay ViPER4Android so everyone please share and I'll organize it this evening! :good:

How do you attach a file here? My phone only has photo or url option. Must be a way to attach an internal file. I'll power up my PC if not.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
3dots in right corner and Web View (when editing a specific post, you would find Open In Browser).

I must be using an older version of your v4a layer, as I don't have the yellow. Unless that comes from Gryffindor Framework.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
I dirty flasht your Project Desire Universal V.L.U Luna ViPER|Atmos™ Edition over Viper/Dolby Atmos 4.2 everthing is fine.

Nice sound.

Stellio is an nice music player too only have to disable Equalizer.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Decided to go to PC. Here's what I'm using, could be Framework changes some stuff. I attached both. FW is modified from Magpie. If you use Magpie, this v4a will work with whatever you choose, and should work with most other layer apps (you're just stuck with red if you use this).

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
For those who are running a rom WITHOUT gapps built in, do NOT wipe system, otherwise you will lose gapps and not be able to get them back as far as we know. If anyone has this problem, you can boot without gapps installed and attempt to restore them from Titanium Backup if you are lucky enough to have them, I can't verify this but it should work. If you don't, you can still backup all of your other apps and then do a full clean wipe and restore apps after, this is what I was forced to do and it fixes most of the headache. If anyone has another solution feel free to correct me! [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] and others have been incredibly helpful in trying to fix this issue so thanks to all of you! Perhaps you could add a note in the OP about this :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm so happy that ordeal is behind you now! :highfive:

4.3.1 and future builds will never require any wipes whatsoever because of users like you. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TheCelt:
First... thanks so much for your hard work on this! Quick question (hopefully not dumb).... after install, when I hit driver status I see "Processing: No".... That's what I should see right? Until I start playing some music of something?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
That is correct, the only time you will see "processing: Yes" is when you are playing music.

Viper|atmos stock zip working flawless on nexus 5. No more hissing and popping.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm thrilled everything is working so well for you! My favorite is ViPER|Atmos™ Beats™ Huawei™, just like what you've got. :good:

I found through a user that some devices just do not play well with Dolby Atmos™ at all but these same devices have no trouble with Dolby Digital Plus™. I immediately thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to create a package extremely similar to ViPER|Atmos™ but with a compatibility these users could enjoy. The last thing I want is for any user to feel like they are missing out on something. Some users with the compatibility for both have said they liked Dolby Digital Plus™ better so that is an even bigger sign that the ViPER|DD+™ package is not a compromised solution to the inability to use ViPER|Atmos™. You'll just have to test for yourself if you're interested because at the end of the day, the only ears that matter are YOURS. And with every package script in 4.3.1 having the ability to handle every dirty flash scenario, you can simply flash any version without any wipes and flash another if you want to try something else! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Awesome! I'm really glad I decided to include stock builds!
