What is MusicFX and how/why would I diable that? By no means am I challenging your intelligence, I would just like to know how this change will affect my phone other that hopefully fixing my ViPER issues!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
/system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so = 0bytes

&

there is no v4a in system/priv-app .. actually there is a viper4android_fx_ file & folder in system/priv-app which size is 5.31 MB
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > MusicFX

Ensure there is sufficient available /system space and try flashing again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] phoberus:
But I wiped /system and then I flashed the rom zip and your mod, then this souldn't be a problem or what do you think?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My mod deletes deep buffer from /system/etc/audio_policy.conf. Are you able to find that file in your rom zip?

Or did flashing either of those other two mods over my mod restore SoundCloud functionality?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
just after a reboot libv4a_fx_ics.so shows 810.09 KB size

yes i'm confident that im doing everything correct also there is 700 MB system free...but don't why facing this problem ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] matthew2926:
Okay, and my final question is, should either the ViPER app or the Dolby app be asking for SuperSu permissions?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
OK, that's good. Is there still a file in the folder next to the apk?

No, you don't even need root if you have a Permissive kernel. I do all the work that root requires during the installation. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] matthew2926:
Okay, thank you!!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
are u talking about system/priv-app/viper4android_fx folder ??? no there is no file there...only apk
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
:good:

Sorry, it sounded like you said the driver file was there, too. Sounds like everything should work now as long as stock audio effects are disabled. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] phoberus:
Yes I found this file, what should I do with it? (Replace it by the orginal file from my rom?)

I flashed xtreme Music over your mod, but I have the same problem
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
yes stock effects are allready freezed ...but everytime viper prompts for driver install

is there anything can do???

im thinking to try after flashing stock rom
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
Thank you so much!!! Now I don't have that annoying issue!! So, if the problem is libeffectproxy.so, I can install every kind of V4A without this file, or not? I don't know if is better with Sony files or 5.3 version. What should I do to try different versions of V4A?

Processing still remain on NO and when I select Impulse Response the app said me: "ViPER4Android: The IR sample directory/storage/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel is empty."

Thank you again for you time and your awesome work!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes, copy the rom file over the one that is currently on your device, set permissions to 0644, and reboot. :good:

What phone?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
Samsung J2 (stock touchwiz 5.1.1)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If I remember correctly, the Sony™ Beats™ packages containing the Sony™ libeffectproxy didn't work for you either. You can always unzip the mods, pull the libeffectproxy out, rezip, and flash away.

Go to v4a's App Info page and ensure that v4a is granted Storage Permissions. Also, save any open v4a tab as a new profile with a unique name. Look through the possible working v4a directories like /data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android/Profile and /mnt/runtime/write/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Profile, among others, until you find that newly saved profile. Then merge your Kernel folder containing your IRS files into that ViPER4Android folder.

Edit*

Processing says No now? What problem were you experiencing before?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Flash this and then reflash the ViPER package.

You might also need to install a custom kernel if that doesn't work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] phoberus:
Unfortunately all the files from the rom are in the zip in system.new.dat and I can't extract it.

I saved my audio_policy.conf and took one from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64573782&postcount=3093 (similar problem with an other mod)

Now it's working :good: :laugh:

Can I use your mod with this audio_policy.conf or should I edit my backup from audio_policy.conf?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Awesome! Glad you got it sorted man! :good:

What would be even easier is to delete this from the very bottom of the runme.sh script in the mod, save changes, and rezip for a fully functional ViPER zip:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
If I follow this step: "unzip the mods, pull the libeffectproxy out, rezip, and flash away", my package will works as the same of original one? If remain the same as original (V4A Atmos Sony Beats), I can do by myself, but if isn't, I need your help for trying v5.3 only Beats).

I want to put in my phone the best audio mod, can you suggest me?

Thanks a lot
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Basically, what I'm saying is if you have everything working with your stock audio_policy.conf, you want to make sure to pull the deep buffer remover from my zip before flashing it so that your audio_policy.conf will remain untouched.

Edit*

I'm sorry, I confused you with another user.

The two different libeffectproxy files in the ViPER packages are not compatible with your device. Fortunately, your stock libeffectproxy is compatible with v4a. Any sound mod that has this file you will likely want to remove that file from the zip before flashing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
Don't worry, I really appreciate your hard work and your quickness to reply. You are also human! LoL

BTW I understand that I need to remove libeffectproxy file from every audio mod, but I don't know if keeping my libeffectproxy file, the mod works with the same specifics that should have with libeffectproxy that I found in the zip folder or If something not works properly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] phoberus:
Thank you man :)

Will try this tomorrow
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries, the libeffectproxy will allow the mods to work or it won't, you have the rare case of needing the stock libeffectproxy for your rom which is not a problem at all except for the small inconvenience of having to remove it from the mid zip first. :good:

Absolutely man! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
I am experiencing Static in music :\. I have AOSP 6.0.1 rom - Galaxy S4. I tried 4.6 Viper Atmos and now 5.3 Viper Atmos , both Sony beats edition.

As I change volume, there is static. When I am not changing volume, there is minor static. When I turned off Viper and Atmos, there was no static. I used Black Ex player, and a stock AOSP music player.

Should I try something else? :S
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Do you have FIREqualizer enabled? You might try another kernel governer like On Demand. The Super Quality driver will likely exagerate any sound disturbances.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
Yes, I have FIREqualizer enabled. So what do i do?

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

I disabled FIREqualizer, so it's not so bad. The static is there, but it is less than before.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What are your ViPER Clarity settings?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dragos281993:
V4.6 Sony beats is working absolutely perfectly on my phone and it doesn't give me any static noise no matter what CPU governor I have selected.

Thanks !
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:
With his brilliance and geniusness I bet he would be able to make his own app with his own mods and tweaks that would rival Viper

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TheDude:
So on a stock rooted nexus 6P I would install the DU6P?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:
Not 100% sure but I believe I read earlier that the capital D capital you build could be flashed if you have the pulse feature if you don't have pulse I believe the regular should be flashed you can go back through the thread to double check because I'm not 100% sure though

Sent from outside the 9 using my Exodus SGS3
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Just like the awesome dude above just said, DU is only useful when you have Pulse™ in your rom, otherwise, the standard packages are you what want. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TheDude:
Thanks guys!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] sometimes music stops, using spotify and phonograph... It just stops, and I have to pull down the notification and press play again... What can it be?

Edit: I forgot, I'm using 4.6, but as far I remember, it also occurs with 5.3
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's likely your kernel's settings. Have you undervolted or made any other adjustments? OnDemand governer seems to produce the best results as well.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Nope, I've maintained this settings for a long time ago... I'm suspicious about to many installations above. I'll try a clean installation through fastboot and stick with 4.6... Could it be related to libeffectproxy switcher?

Edit: I'm using interactive, I'm afraid ondemand cause more battery consumption
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No, libeffectproxy.so is just a library for available effects to resource. What is happening is something in the background is stopping what it perceives as overly aggressive or unnecessary background processes. Do you have greenify or any type of task killer app installed?

Also, is this limited to a single output like Headset or something? This happens when no notification is pushed to your device?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Yeah, greenify, but none of those apps greenified... It's weird, because it just stops; I mean, viper and the app still working in background (no process killed), like when you play pause, and I had to force play again...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Which outputs are in use when this happens?

I've never used greenify, does it have any global settings?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] leblvin:
I just followed your 1st post new advice and installed 4.6 instead on my N5X. It works!!!

Eargasms achieved once again. Thanks a bunch for your hardwork =)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My pleasure man! Thanks for the positive report! I'm really happy with this one! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Headset and speaker (I don't have BT), and greenify only works over the apps you blacklisted... Neither viper, spotify, phonograph applied, so this is really weird... Just happen when heavily multitasking, but as I told before, none of the apps are killed... Just pause and that's all
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The fact that it happens on more than just Headset eliminates a possible Headset issue where it might think it's unplugged or that a phone call is coming in. Very odd. Do you use other players without this issue? A system cleanup might help but a data clean up might help even more with something like this. I'm sorry I'm not very much help with this issue man. :(

Does this seem to happen at certain battery levels? Does it ever happen while charging?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Hey guys! I was browsing deep into the Android Software Development forum and saw that [MENTION=4691033]blazzer12[/MENTION] updated his IRS files two days ago! There was not a new post so it never got pushed to the front but here's the link to his thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625531

I know we've all been kind of disappointed with the stagnancy of IRS development at this time so this is a great opportunity to try something fresh and give thanks to a long time contributor! You can tell by the file sizes that these are real quality impulse response samples. :good:

I'm not in a position to test any tonight but I want you guys to pay him a visit, give him a Thanks for continuing development, and see what you guys think. If you find some you really like, be sure to let him know! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
No prob man, I really appreciated your help... And yeah, it is very weird; maybe tonight I'll make a clean installation, sometimes we make too many modifications and that's when the problems come... Anyway, I'll try and report later. Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
still not working

i will retry this after clean flash rom & doing system-less root.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Please let me know if you still have any issues. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
hmm sure
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
I've tried to flash "ViPERAtmos v4.6 Sony Beats Edition (No libeffectproxy.so)" but the previous issue appear again: "Unfortunately, audio settings has stopped".

I think that the problem occurs because the package contains other two Sony files that replace mine (libsonypostprocbundle.so and libsonysweffect.so), like libeffectproxy.so. I think that these 3 files are the only difference between only Beats Edition and Sony Beats Edition. But I'm not an expert.

If you can explain me why the problem comes out again, I can modify the packages following your steps and try again.

Thank you for your time
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sbann:
The version of Franco kernel included with Chroma is modified so viper will work with selinux in enforced mode. You could change selinux to permissive to get it working again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Price.donaldson:
Thanks. Worked perfectly. Hopefully, it will default to permissive whenever I reboot my phone.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] musashihatred:
Thanks! That compatibility mode did it.

tho i did the manual installation :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] DJTeeJay:
Has anyone tried this on Android M? If it doesn't work, I might just have to go back to 5.1.1...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
Using it now - The AIO fix zip quits working after a few seconds for me, so I have to run it in compatibility mode to get it working. I haven't explored this thread yet to see if it's been addressed yet.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] DJTeeJay:
The first time I ran Android M, I did the same and it worked fine. I did a TWRP restore, because for some reason I went back back to 5.1.1r8. When I did the restore, I.had no sound (listen to SoundCloud 100% of the time) and the Viper App was missing. I flashed the AIO and now Viper decreses sound instead of the fantastic loudness I usually get.

Im thinking titanium back-up everything but Viper. Do a clean install, titanium restore everything back, and see if she werks.

Or if that doesn't work, I completely clean install, no titanium.

If that doesn't work, I'm going back to bezoROM cause its built in and I love my benzos ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
Weird you had those problems... If you restored from a backup, it shouldn't have affected the audio like that. But I wanted to remark on the "lowered volume" issue. I never thought the Nexus 6 had very loud audio to begin with and Viper NEVER made it any louder for me to begin with. Increasing the gain within Viper added distortion, which it should based on how audio works.

BUT, if you modify the mixer paths xml, you can boost the volume at the core, which affects volume universally and without distortion (unless you really crank it). I would imagine this is what other ROM devs do too, if you notice a certain ROM is louder than stock. And it's what I did on the M preview to get an adequate volume level.

Hey everyone. Every time I install V4A I lose the ability to call via Hangouts and Facebook. Any ideas? I really love this mod.:D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] K-alz:
[MENTION=5456825]kal eh[/MENTION] I don't know if it's something you'd be able to change or if it's the music streaming app that I'm using. I noticed that V4A doesn't work with "anghami" streaming app. I'm sure you've never heard of it, but I'd love of you to check it out and see why it's the only one that V4A doesn't work with. I have spotify and Pandora and it's working just fine with them. Thank you in advance.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
Working fine here on LMY48I chroma in normal mode.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jnewell05:
What is normal mode? Just tick the box Under Master Power "Enable V4A_SpeakerFX" then it works.

I'm currently running bone stock LMY48I. Used the flashable install and ticked the option in dev options to use awesome player, and of course the permissive kernel enabler app.

Someone got it working on the latest preview of the android m ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] darkstar73:
V4A is working for me on M Preview 3. I'm using the ElementalX 2.02 kernel.. These are the steps I took to get it working:

1. Flashed this first - https://www.dropbox.com/s/3voqv2m3ou486r5/V4a-permissive-fix.zip?dl=0

2. Flashed the AIO fix zip.

3. Rebooted phone.

4. Manually intalled ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk.

5. Moved from data/app to system/priv-app.

6. Rebooted phone.

7. Profit
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Roobwz:
Guys my selinux is permissive but i cant get it to work. Tried everything that i read here in this thread? Anyone got an idea?

sent from my nexus
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] will748:
What do you mean by manually installed? Do you just copy the apk over the one that the AIO fix adds? Do you install the apk to data/app and then move the resulting folder to system/priv-app?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] darkstar73:
When I flashed the AIO fix, it didn't put the apk in the priv-app folder. I installed the standalone apk from internal storage. I then moved it from data/app to system/priv-app.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] will748:
Huh, that's odd. When I flashed the zip it put the apk (not the com.vipercn.viper4android_v2-1 folder that you get in /data/app after installing from internal storage) in /system/priv-app. I booted into recovery, mounted /system, deleted the apk that was already in /system but when trying to move the folder in /data/app it gave an error saying there was no available space and when trying to boot the screen just went black. Even restoring the twrp backup I made before that didn't work. How exactly did you move the com.vipercn.viper4android_v2-1 folder into /system/priv-app/?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] darkstar73:
I used Root Explorer.

I removed "normal" V4A on my Galaxy S5 which was installed as system app and installed ViperAtmos 4.6 Sony Beats Edition.

After reboot the Dolby Atmos App crashes when I try to open it.

I have enough /system space free (over 1GB RAM free).

I have attached a logcat, in this logcat I saw a Dolby Atmos related error but I don't know what it means, I hope you can say what causes this FC's

regards & many thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] phoberus:
It didn't worked in soundcloud when I delete

in audio_policy.conf

I also tested to put together the audio_policy file from xtreme Music (with this, its working) and the one from my rom. But i haven't a idea what to change, except to delete deep_buffer.

Both files in attachment
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
I come from version 5.2 with the Sony-effect i miss them

Is it possible for you to make an 4.6 ViberAtmos Sony/Beats with Sony effect.

I know you take them out from version 5.2.1 because off problems,but i don't have problems with them.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Those remaining files are there from the previous installation so I recommend wiping system in TWRP and dirty flashing your rom to start with a fresh system, then flash the Beats™ only package.

Navigate to /system to see what the available space is. You mentioned RAM so I'm not sure if that's what you were looking at. Do you have these files?:

/system/lib/libdlbdapstorage.so

/system/lib/soundfx/libswdap-mod.so

/system/etc/dolby/ds-default.xml

Those are vastly different and I don't see an audio_policy.conf in XTREMEMusic™ so I'm not sure where that one is from. Your best bet is to wipe system in TWRP and dirty flash your rom, delete that line I shared with you from the runme.sh script, rezip the mod folder, and flash it.

I tried to include that and it caused many issues for others. The fix for that is likely to include even more Sony™ files but that is guaranteed to hurt compatibility even more. Fortunately, you know how to add it to your system and it is a pretty painless step since there's not a whole lot to set permissions for. I take a look at some additional files. I'm really happy with 4.6 and 5.3 and I'm not wanting to break its stability so quickly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I came back... I made a clean installation, and the pause issue still happens... I'm suspicious about those lines you added to build.prop, because since the 5.3 I remember it begins to occur... What's the purpose of those lines, could I safely delete them? Could it be the culprit?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're absolutely spot on about the change starting with 5.3 and that's a fantastic place to start. :good: There's alot of benefit using those lines on Enforcing Selinux, so first, I want to know whether you are on Enforcing or Permissive Selinux.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Using permissive... Already set by kernel, no scripts or apps to change selinux...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Perfect! I'd go ahead and just uncomment those lines in the build.prop by adding # at the beginning of each ViPER|Audio™ line, save changes, and reboot. :good:

Please let me know what you find. If that fixes your issue, I would expect the AwesomePlayer line is the culprit or maybe even the deep buffer line as it's kind of redundant as that paragraph doesn't exist anyway after flashing these packages.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
I had already done it, I clean my System and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache in this way before flashing every package, so those files are included in my stock ROM or what? My ROM has only root, xposed framework and DualRecovery, there isn't any type of audio mod. If I delete from V4A Atmos Sony Beats these 3 files (libsonypostprocbundle.so / libsonysweffect.so / libeffectproxy.so), I obtain a V4A Atmos only Beats that you had created for me?

Regards
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Well, right now I can't test the music, but after making the clean installation I listen a few minutes and it occurs twice... So, I also suspect about AwesomePlayer and made this little change:

I'll test along the day, see if this change solves the issue and report back
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The file I shared with you does not contain those files. If those files exist the audio_effects.conf entries likely exist as well. I would wipe system and dirty flash your rom again and make sure those files do not exist. Then flash the zip below. :good:

:good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
Should I delete the line or setting the value to 0 have the same effect?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
0 should have the same effect as deleting the line. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
Yes I know it, I tried to install yesterday V4A Sony Beats Edition without libeffectproxy.so and I said you that I had the previous issue (Unfortunately, audio settings has stopped), only Beats Edition works but if I want try 5.3 o for the future releases, I need to ask you for that or can I delete those 3 files by myself? If I will do it, I obtain only Beats Edition from Sony Beats Edition?

Sorry for misunderstanding
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No need to apologize man! I didn't recommend the Sony™ package as I've incorporated that libeffectproxy to work with the other Sony™ libraries and effects so I wasn't confident with the outcome by deleting just that file. I didn't realize you were interested in a 5.3 version. I'll get you one in a minute. :good:
