I am actually testing a new audio_policy method a little different than the ones in the database. I'll attach it below with .zip added to its name. Rename by removing .zip, copy to /system/etc, set permissions to 0644, and reboot. Let me know how this performs for you. :good:

What is 'driverless' edition mean?

Z3cD5833 Andro72 SLiM5 SU2.71 XFramework81 ViPER|atmos4.8
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No preinstalled driver.

It is easy to forget that the preinstalled driver might not be the driver v4a 2.3.4.0 would decide to install for a particular device. The Driverless editions allow v4a to install the compatible driver.

It's easier with v4a 2.4.0.1 as there is only a NEON driver and an x86 driver from which to choose.

If my stock rom already contains the z5 premium libraries, do I just flash the viper|atmos sony beats on top, or do I use the stock version adding beats somehow. (sorry in advance if this is a noob question) :)

Hi, I'm running my S5 with a custom ROM from ResurrectionRemixx 6.0.1 on a Tmobile SM-G900T. Which Viper zip would you suggest? Ive tried ViPERAtmos_4.7.1_Stock.zip. It installed, but no change in sound. I did Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache

full wipe, reinstall did the trick

Hey GH I figured out the reason why 4.8.1 and above has broken my in-call audio (well I've narrowed it down) it's because of either these two folders in system/etc folders 1. Acdbdata--or--2.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It is not to address low in-call volume that if it is a normal occurrence. It is to fix what 4.8.1 breaks.

The Database contains prepared audio_policy configs readyf to go. The Submissions are user provided for preparation.

Disable any stock audio effects.

Thank you for the report! I've known that to be the case but I'm thinking about adding a line into /sdcard/TweakProp/mytweak.prop to disable surround_sound_3mic. :good:

Search thread for "Drive audio_policy Submissions" and create a folder for your device and upload your /system/etc/audio_policy.config to that folder and flash the zip once it appears in the Database. :good:

Hopefully by now, you all have familiarized yourselves with tweak.prop utilization by examining the contents of /sdcard/TweakProp thoroughly. You all have heard me mention it quite a bit lately and now is the first time that I am introducing a specific line for users to implement into mytweak.prop, and finally into /sdcard/tweak.prop after accepting mytweak.prop's contents.

Read the .txt files /sdcard/TweakProp if you need a refresher.

/sdcard/TweakProp/surround_sound_3mic.prop contains a line entry to be utilized to test for in-call volume restoration and other no volume issues.

Have been using V4A for very long time and i bought a new Moto X 2013 and flashed the stock 5.1.1 debloated and deodexed rom and have been facing the busybox not installed error since then no matter what i flashed alot of v4a zips through recovery non of them worked. Note: I have stericsson's busybox installed and verified that its working properly and i also have proper root access on my rom so i dont know what is causing the problem and the driver of v4ais not installing also edited the build.prop and added/edited all the lpa decodes and etc lines. I love v4a and cant live without this. Addition Info: I legit think there is a problem in my rom since i flashed a custom rom before this stock deodexed rom and v4a was kinda working not properly though but the driver got installed in the previous rom. And also cant get back to custom rom because i dont like custom roms on Moto X. Need a solution on my current stock rom. Anybody's help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance! P.S: Also tried dr.ketans fix for stock kernel and didnt work as well.

Thank you for the great work. I have always loved Viper and don't know why it's not the industry standard.

I managed to get it up and running after a full wipe and re-install of everything. Viper (4.7.1 Stock) runs under the stock (crap) music app, but will not under PowerAmp.

Tried everything (even reading through most threads)

Am I running the correct version of Viper?

Anyone here have a workaround?

Go to the Submissions link to see if a folder for your device has been submitted. If not, create a folder with the name of your device. Then upload /system/etc/audio_policy.conf to that folder. Check the Database link periodically to see if it exists in the Database ready to be downloaded and flashed in recovery. :good:

In PowerAmp:

Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks

Uncheck the top two boxes pertaining to Volume Control

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
There was an old delete line in the script that I didn't realize was still there that might be deleting a stock file necessary to avoid possible issues after installing. If your rom zip contains /system/lib/libacdbmapper.so then this is certainly directed towards you. I've also renamed /sdcard/TweakProp/mytweak.prop to /mytweak(copy).prop to provide a template that will not overwrite your modified template.

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.8.1.xyz-TP Audiophile™ Sony™ Beats™ Edition​
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Drive is pissing me the **** off. I deleted everything from it before creating the folders, access, and links. It seems that storage is still over capacity preventing me from adding anything or accessing anything added by you guys.

Here are the instructions to hopefully mimic the changes I perform:

Open /system/etc/audio_policy in text editor.

Delete the bold line if found:

Replace the bold line with AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_PRIMARY if found

Delete raw and low_latency paragraphs if found.

Save changes and reboot.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience guys, I will try to correct my Drive storage issue. :good:

I am reserving 4.9 for the final update after successful testing. 4.8.1.xyz removes the delete kind mentioned above, removes ALSA completely, and will no longer overwrite an existing /sdcard/TweakProp/mytweak.prop.

What does this mean?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ffejy462:
Oh man. I'm sorry. I moved Clark from database to submissions. Can't believe I did that.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Typical XHiFi high maintenance behavior. A lot of prerequisites to satisfy XHiFi like legacy root, legacy BusyBox, etc...

I advise to move on from the deprecated XHiFi to alleviate the added frustration from what ultimately adds nothing ifa proper installation is finally achieved.

The outdated, false slogan "XHifi's audio reproduction is vastly superior to ViPER4Android FX" is so wrong and was stated at the time for ViPER4Android FX's version which didn't even have a Super Quality driver among several other things.

Zhuhang did a disservice to users by making that statement about a depecacted app, updating the supported app several times over with features and enhancements, and leaving that statement to be read years after the only time it might have had any relevance. I've thoroughly tested and manipulated XHiFi at the time it was supported and developed and was overjoyed when it was dropped as FX had surpassed it by a long shot even at that time which pales in comparison to FX's 2.3.4.0 version.

No worries at all man, my frustration is certainly my own storage issues with Drive after deleting everything including every photo ever backed up to it. :good:

So... I clean flashed the DU weekly build and have made the modifications you suggested to audio_policy.conf, now do I flash 4.9 after I make the modifications or before? Or Do I need to put the modified audio_policy.conf into the zip then flash? Or... How about I just let you direct me:silly:

Hey guys what is the newest stable zip, I just downloaded the 4.8.1 fix in the last few posts, I saw someone mention 4.9? Right now I am using 4.8 on a nexus 6p with a fresh install, the newest vendor image and pure nexus ROM. It works great.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
4.8 is likely your best bet for sure. 4.8.1 has issues with 6p and all consecutive versions are hit and miss and kind of all over the place. They have less than 4.8 but do contain the audio calibration database from Z5 Premium.

It's kind of crazy and hard to follow. I've been on Android N the last few days which I really do like but it has been a nightmare trying to work on with my greatest tool, Root Explorer, being unusable. It has really been insanely frustrating for me trying to do sound mod tests and update my roms without it. I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during this time of pulling my hair out lol! :good:

I tested ViPERAtmos4.9 alongside the latest DU weeky on my Hammerhead with the suggested modifications to audio_policy.conf, in call volume is better with no background noise and touchtones now work also....but... call volume still seems to be fixed, adjusting it has no effect on the audio output level.

The sound of 4.9 compared to 4.8 is just out of this world! Clean very crispy highs and bass response is amazing, best audio quality yet!:highfive:

Hello,

I have been researching this ViperMod for a bit, and it sounds really promising from everything I have read... and there is a lot to read.

I am on CM13 -- however in the OP it says works on Enforcing and Permissive -- but there is also another note in the OP that you have to change to permissive for some things to work. I know my SElinux config right now is in enforcing, so I am a bit confused if i have to switch, or just run the mod as is....

I am rooted with SU installed... I am just a little confused -- stats are in the bottom.

Thank you for the help :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
Are you running systemless superSU? If so, then flash ViperAtmos 4.8 Sony beats edition.

Also, no need to change selinux, you can leave it at enforcing.

Once it's flashed, go into CMs audiofx app and turn it off from being used for speaker, headphones and Bluetooth. Otherwise it won't let the Dolby Atmos app to do it's thing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
Awesome! thanks for the response and walk through :)

I guess my last question (and it might be a dumb one) how can I verify my SuperSU is systemless. My only guess is that I notice SuperSU as a setting in the ROM (never a need to install the SuperSU.apk) which installs to /system (I assume)....

therefore I should be systemless ... correct?

As well be good to go to install -- ViPERAtmos_4.8_Sony_Beats_Edition_Driverless.zip ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
Hmm. Which version of SuperSU are you using? And did you flash it yourself or did it come prebuilt into the ROM?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
SuperSU Free v2.65 -- Prebuilt in the ROM -- I have updated binaries via pre-built

Odd time if binaries don't install (which I haven't had an issue in CM13 ever) I have a flashable .zip -- BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
Okay, just flash the viperatmos 4.8 Sony beats edition. It should work for you!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
Thanks man, I'll make a nandroid before I install the mod -- thanks for the clarification... I didn't grab the "driverless" version to begin with.... I originally downloaded ViPERAtmos_5.5_Sony_Beats_Edition.zip I'll have to have another read over on the OP again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:

Now to test in call headset volume, on call speaker phone volume and on call Bluetooth.

This v4a should be a custom Rom standard...however with all the choices we have in the v4a library, I can understand why it's not, it's specific to the user which is really nice.

Excellent job, I'm really glad I've improved my overall phone sound regardless.

Ok so i tried to mimic these instructions and i got soundcloud working with v4a but, when i plug in my headphones the phone doesnt plays sound in headphones and plays music from rear speaker instead, Bummer :P. However here's what i did :

i didnt find any of those two lines you mentioned in my device's audio policy neither i found low latency or raw paragraphs, however i found one which is AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_DEEP_BUFFER so i replaced this and it did work i can see v4a driver saying processing: YES, while songs are playing through speaker but nothing happens when i connect my headphones the sound keeps on coming from speaker phone. Thanks in advance man. I made a backup of my audio policy so i'll be reverting back to it. Cheers. I think you could perfect it. :confused:

Edit: Turns out there was no deep buffer line at all as well heck my bad!! reverted back to original audio policy had to delete the audio policy and copy again to get back the audio from jack.

Edit 2: So i just checked the submitted policy of Nexus 6P angler and all the lines you mentioned are present in angler's policy. However i could not find any of these lines in my Moto X (ghost) policy. Confused.

You're having issues with Root Explorer on N? I was having issues with Solid Explorer, so I switched to Root Explorer and it's working fine for me atm.

I've got N running with Velocity kernel (smooth as buttah!), but when I flash any of the Viper zips, it puts it in a permanent Safe Mode. Only fix is to dirty flash N and start over. I read that N checks a permissive flag and sets Android to Safe Mode as long as it is there (from Chainfire's G+ Post). SuperSU 2.70+ is supposed to clear that flag upon reboot, but it doesn't seem to work. I'll PM you a link to Velocity N.

N is so nice with MVK, I really don't want to go back to M.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant I switched to Root Browser and it works great on N.
