Version 9XXX works perfectly on the 6P

I wiped system, dalvik and cache, flashed vendor, rom and gapps then 9XXX and all is good :)

Hmm. must be changes on N Preview, V4A has problems on it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Ah sorry, didn't realise you were on N preview.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
So after several days of testing, I found an anomaly that I can't pinpoint to anything other than the Redux versions. What happens is that when I'm listening to music, the treble sounds perfect while it is one of the only or focal things being heard. Once the mids start to find their way in and saturate the overall sound, the treble knocks off and there is almost a tunneling effect that is happening. Music keeps playing and then say a highhat comes into prominence. The effects skew back to the high end treble and it sounds great. Mids decided to come back into the song and once they do, the treble throttles down and the tunneling begins again. This happened in any song from Dub Step to Classic Rock.

At first I thought that it was my kernel (ElementalX3.15) since it was updated. It almost seemed like the frequencies were scaling to the point of being able to actually hear it in the audio. So I went back to the previous version (3.12) that I knew for a fact was working and the tunneling was still prevalent. Only things that I changed between my kernel versions were I went from 4.9ViperAtmos (working fine) to 4.8.1 Redux's #3, #6, #7.2, #7.2A, #8A and #9Y. There was tunneling in all version of Redux using with or without Alsa Tweak.prop. In testing I copied my original build.prop back into /system and also even cleaned flashed my ROM just to make sure.

I flashed the 4.8.1Atmos TP (sans Redux) this morning and I have no tunneling at all. All highs stay there and don't scale down when the mids come in. It's far more balanced (for now).

When I say tunneling, it is almost like when you toggle surround on/off in V4A settings. This leads me to believe that /system/etc/surround_sound is most likely the culprit causing this. But I can't say for sure without a doubt. I've even thought that it was my headphones (Bose IE2s) crapping out. Then I thought that maybe things were just too clear and I was finding things that probably weren't there.

Nexus 6, Pure Nexus latest and ElemetalX latest.

Hi, anyone know why I have only 1 profile (Audiophile) to choose? And if I create new one, there are still only one "Audipphile". Reflashing or wiping data of Viper doesn't work :(

After applying the Audiophile 4.0 profile, are there any modifications needed in the Headset section for optimal sound? or does the Audiophile 4.0 profile by default contain the recommended settings.

I only ask because I see some of the Viper4Android settings mentioned in the OP are different than those applied with the Audiophile 4.0 profile

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
Too much bass causes that. Mostly an overly loud bass drum. Are you trying to use a profile that lowers the mids while emphasizing the bass and highs.

Thanks a ton man! My very first XDA ad-free and it's really cool and a perfect gesture to a fellow XDA'er not already using it! I started noticing it not tht long ago but never clicked on it. Very cool, I'm certainly going to spread this new feature around! Thanks again! :highfive:

Thank you very much man, but please remember: Bills first! :good: Attach your audio policy in stock, untouched form and I'll fix you right up! :good:

Good ear! I noticed this with the very first ReDUX test build and it was so strange! I have no idea what made me think of it, but the first thing I did was enable MusicFX and reboot. The what I call, swell effect, disappeared and never resurfaced. It was such a peculiar event that I even included enabling MusicFX in the details when sharing the very first ReDUX. :good:

N has some weird changes with its own audio calibration database making perfectly compatible versions while on Marshmallow, to cause no audio or no voice call volume after flashing that same zip on Android N. The issue is /system/libaudcal.so which is part of the old school ALSA integration. Removing /system/lib/libaudcal.so from the zip that worked for Marshmallow should provide a functional build for the N previews.

I haven't mentioned it yet, but XTREMEMusic 7.0.7 shares the same status. If you want XTREMEMusic 7.0.7 on your fresh Android N install, then do this after flashing but before booting back to Android:

Mount > System

Navigate to /system/lib

Tap libaudcal.so, Delete, and Swipe to confirm

Mount > uncheck System

Reboot

:good:

Ensure Storage Permissions are enabled through v4a's App Info page. :good:

Not really. Dynamic System, directly above ViPER Bass can be fun to experiment with. Also, FIREqualizer is disabled by default. You might try experimenting with that and maybe some Surround Sound. :good:

I'm sorry, you must not be on Marshmallow. I forget that sometimes.

If you save a New Profile through v4a's menu as a different name, that profile does not appear to be selectable when loading a Profile through v4a's menu afterward?

You're most welcome! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
The tunneling came back with the 4.8.1Atmos TP (sans Redux) I flashed this morning. Per [MENTION=4224060]stueycaster[/MENTION]'s suggestion, I tweaked the EQ a bit to no avail. I didn't think it would be any different since I have used the same profile for almost a full year with only subtle tweaks here and there and I've always have MusicFX enabled.

I think that I may have isolated it to something interfering with Atmos and Viper not being able to tell who is going to manage the audio output. It's the hand-off that I think is where the problem lies. When I went into Google Music>Settings>Eq it asked me which one I wanted. I've always used the package

without

Atmos because I thought it was causing the crackling that we had in the beginning of all this. Up until recently, I just waited on the w/o Atmos packages, but thought I might flash one with it when the tweak.props started to be figured out. Honestly, it's it the only consistent thing that I have changed in all of these packages.

If you wouldn't mind, can you please make me a 4.8.1 or 9Y package without Atmos, but with tweak.prop and Redux capabilities. Almost certain it has nothing to do with TP, so I'd like to keep that one intact if possible? I'll test it/them this afternoon and let you know.

Edit: Is there a way to get the benefits of Atmos without the GUI interfering with the processing? What I mean is that I think the Dolby apk is getting killed off and that might be causing the tunneling to be occurring. I can listen to the same song 3 times and it will occur in different places within. The process must be getting killed somewhere even without swiping it away.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes there is. Dolby is powered On by default so uninstallimg/deleting the apk's while it is powered On will leave it running with the settings applied before removal.

But did you try enabling MusicFX and then rebooting? I think you'll be surprised. Dolby Atmos also hijacks MusicFX's /data/data folder which should help in its persistence in the background.

Look in /storage/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jesssiii:
If you open Dolby and turn the power off, do you still get the tunneling?

Yes it is. Currently it is at MMB29X but will be updated as soon as I can get a NPC91K base on which to work. I've been furiously working on a perfect v4a build for N for when the base is ready.

If I want to roll back to 4.8.1 from redux 9y, will I need to clean flash or will a dirty flash cut it? On 6.0.1, Elite kernel.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
These should never require a clean flash - just a dirty flash with a system wipe. So instead of just wiping caches, also wipe system - and thus make sure you reflash gapps and any other system mods you may have. You only lost /system stored content, not data - this is how I install every ROM update to avoid wonkiness when doing Viper/kernel/random testing all together. Hope that helps lol

Hello! This is a great mod and I've been jumping around versions trying to find which is best and that works too. I have a Galaxy S6 Edge on Marshmallow but right now, I'm having issues with V4A working on Soundcloud and I have tried other versions before 9XXX, like REDUX 8A which was my previous install, and now I'm on 4.8.1-TP. REDUX 8A worked fine until I installed 9XXX, which then didn't so I reverted by backup to REDUX 8A, which didn't work and I ended up at 4.8.1-TP since I see it's the most recent. Reinstalling REDUX 8A doesn't help and I find that 4.8.1-TP is a little better anyways on Google Play Music. Soundcloud isn't working and I just need help.

I see others posted their Audio_Policy.conf file so here is mine just in case. One is currently installed on the phone and the other from my backup right after upgrade to Marshmallow (Not modded, completely original)

Awesome Mod Tho :good:

This is just way to complicated now! What do I need to flash to get the best loudest clear sound from my Motorola Nexus 6 I just bought? Lol I had an LG g2 and knew what to do with it but that was before the tweak.prop stuff!

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] please help a brother out! I'm on newest Pure Nexus rom
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you! Your audio_policy is below. :good:

It seems so foreign because it is an unconventional method to what is usually a routine aspect of modding. We're all familiar with build.prop edits. What tweak.prop does is backup your /system/build.prop as /sdcard/build.prop.backup the very first time /sdcard/tweak.prop is utilized for the tweakprop script found in almost all of my mods and zips. Once the tweakprop script is run again, whether by a mod or just flashing the tweakprop.zip in recovery yourself, the script will view your current /system/build.prop to see if it changed by flashing a new rom for example, a new backup will be created in this case. If it finds the same build.prop is used, it will then reference /sdcard/tweak.prop to see if there are any entries not already contained in your already patched /system/build.prop like if you added or removed entries from /sdcard/tweak.prop to test something.

4.8.1 is the best version for N6 MM. :good:

Hey - wow - if you don't keep on with this thread - just LOTS of great activity... but like a foreign language, once you're behind its hard to catch up!

So - for my 6P - I'm running 4.8 - and I also created a v4aprop.txt on /sdcard to move the ##Viper and ##SONY lines from build.prop (solved my ringer not ringing when on BT).

Ok - I'm looking to completely flash from scratch a new rom - and was planning on going back to 4.8 - but I see now there are several new versions - as well as some redux? zips?

Help - for clean flash - new rom (pure nexus) - what version for my 6P doesn't have the low volume issues - and will still ROCK?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] elevatorguy:
Let me make sure I got this straight. To remove build.prop you just have to copy and paste the backup that was automatically made check permissions and reboot? When you want to change something in the tweak.prop folder you just change it and reboot, or do you need to reflash tweak.prop zip?

In addition to replacing, which is usually done through a bootloop through TWRP's File Manager, you can also remove all entries except the BACKUP=y line at the very top with a single blank, empty line below it. Save changes and flash tweak.prop or a mod that supports tweak.prop and you're just wanting to ensure no edited lines whatsoever exist on your build.prop that might inhibit testing.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Version 2.1 is an update more substantial than the .1 integer indicates. Updater-script completely done away with in favor of #dummy, using update-binary for installation scripting. This should eliminate any previous incompatibility issues experienced before. I also edited the script to be able to flash properly even when flashing over a current, working ViPER|Atmos system so this update is huge in my opinion throughout all the testing so far. Frustrated users should find this to be a more pleasant install.

New builds in the OP.

Thanks again to you guys for all the feedback and insight, I've definitely learned quite a bit this week! Enjoy the new ViPER|Atmos!

Major reason i havent been using v4a last couple months is the audio lag/out off sync problem when watching videos. Has to be all the processing done to the sound that causes it, but has anyone managed to solve it without disabling v4a and dolby? Disabling Dolby atmos helps, but it's still out of sync. Disabling v4a entirely solves it, but it's bit troublesome to do every time before watching videos and vice versa going back to music. Would be ideal if some process could just by pass v4a processing entirely.

What have you v4a users done to solve/counter this? I'm back to enabling/disabling routine since the sound quality with v4a is just so awesome, but I can't stand the out off sync sounds on videos.
