Hi Guitardedhero! I've been running your V4A for a while - I think my last install was 3.7 or 3.8... I see lots of changes here - and I'll be happy to flash 4.2 here in a bit.

Where I'm now confused is the enforcing vs permissive concept. I am running on Cataclysm ROM (N6P) with ElementalX kernel, and enforcing, not permissive, the ROM and Kernel I use are set as enforcing and I don't change it to permissive - at this point I have no need to. So where does that leave the 4.2 install for me?

Note: I'll reflash the ROM, kernel, etc... before I flash 4.2 - but I'm assuming staying with enforcing will be just fine?

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Seeing the survey - quick thought - why not include all the files and prompt the user during install which to install? Maybe even to ask about installing Atmos, dark vs light, etc... probably a lot more work up front but once done - there's only a single file to download and install.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm still confused lol! Many reports that the Permissive version works on either. I redid the top portion of the OP to explain what I'm able to at the moment. Go check it out. I recommend Permissive version no matter what your Selinux is.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The IRS survey? The working v4a directories are so varied it's crazy. I've been working on compatibility like crazy but still work to do on Samsung. I think I figured out the Samsung issue, just waiting to hear back for confirmation. What you describe sounds absolutely killer and makes me think I should start learning Aroma Installer inside and out. That thought never crossed my mind but this mod seems like the best example for the need of Aroma. I love how you bring new ideas like that to me! Thank you so much for popping in when you can! Absolutely the best idea I've heard in a while! :good:

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], I follow your instructions and flashed 4.2 permissive on my note 4 with sixperience v5 and the sound is best ever, no problem at all.

i have installed original v4a, can i only load the profile ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] EeyoreSyndrome:
I'm on my nexus 6. I had an older version of v4a installed a bit ago. I only check updates when my custom rom updates.

Anyway I flashed this 4.2 after I did a system wipe and cache/dav cache wipe.

But I'm still on 2.3.4.0? Did I do something wrong?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] manojpy:
Yes you can

AOSIP, v4a and Elementalx kernel - Rock Solid!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
Thanks guitardedhero for all you did,i'm still on your RHR-K Viper/atmos (4.0 i think) version but today i will flash clean rom

and install your 4.2 Viper-Atmos/beats-huawei version on my Note 5 and let you know off i still need the RHR-K sound mod.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Naw..that version has been the same for awhile. Its the additional music addons that are newer. So you are good.

Holy ****! I turned on Volume Leveler just for grins. I jumped 6 feet in the air! Ouch!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] rolarocka:
Is it just me or has the sound quality improved dramatically from version 3.9 to 4.2? ? The bass is so punchy and the highs are crystal clear, didn't think it was possible... I didn't change settings in Dolby and Viper, just wow ?

Presume we need to unistall all old files before updating to 4.2? Currently on 3.9.

Well then looks like I will be flashing version 4.2..I was waiting to see if there would be a rehear edition but I'll just flash it separately

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

I think so because it was said the reduced size has less files. Probably reflash of system and then the 4.2..

Unless [MENTION=7035235]rolarocka[/MENTION] just flashed over 3.9

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Did you install 4.2? I'm also on the rehear version 4 and want to see how it is
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ROADKING17:
Works like a champ 4.2 Permissive running on nexus 6p
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Installed 4.2 and all is working as intended. Removed previous custom home-build of Viper, rebooted and the flashed. Some popping and cracking, but those are probably kernel related.

Cataclysm (N6) & ElementalX

Here is my profile of anyone wants it. For Bose IE2, but can be tweaked to fit. Hi on clarity and clean bass. Been doing this for a long time so I have it dialed in pretty good. Just unzip and drop in your profile folder.

Edit: I added in another profile that I used with my NOCS NS500's (also in-ear). So if the Bose ones are too Bose-y, the NOCs one should do very well hopefully. It's been awhile since I've used that one since I ripped the right bud off in a tragic aural accident. ;)

Edit2: Gonna need to drop the irs-convolver file in sdcard/ViPER4Android/kernel

Running stock rooted with stock kernel, do I need a custom kernel to flash viper?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
For now, I'm trying to keep the available versions to a minimum as to avoid confusion. I strongly recommend jumping to version 4.2 when you're ready to wipe System in TWRP and dirty flash your rom.

Definitely want to wipe System, dirty flash your rom, and jump on 4.2 to have no lingering files.

My pleasure! The two day testing phase was a phenomenal success and 4.2 is as good as it is only because of so much work and input from you guys!

Absolutely.

The thread source is in the Android Software Development forum. It should be within the first three pages and has Material ViPER in the title. I certainly never meant anything malicious being inside. During our two day testing phase it was found that Processing was stuck on a persistent Yes for many. As soon as I realized the official v4a apk cleared this issue, I had to abandon the themed apk's for the sake of compatibility.

Yes, that is exactly what I found as well. Removing some files and completing the Beats™ library proved to be an overwhelming success.

Yes, you nailed it. Once on 4.2, no wipes whatsoever will be necessary going forward.

Haha, that name is quite catchy actually! :good:

Thanks for sharing! I strongly encourage everyone to share profiles, settings, and tips anytime!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], I installed version 4.2 as a dirty flash from the last CT version. I first used the permissive version and kept the kernel in permissive mode and everything worked as expected. I then set the kernel to enforcing and rebooted the phone and I was not prompted to install the driver when I first opened V4a but when I started to play music it prompted me to install the driver which I did and rebooted the phone. Once phone settled in I was prompted to install the driver again when playing music. I then dirty flashed the enforcing version and this one is working as expected. You are the man.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
I've flashed 4.1.1 Enforcing with no issues. Also flashed permissive before and deleted the su.d script and it reboots to Enforcing without issue. So far every zip posted has worked flawlessly. I haven't done a rom upgrade yet to see if it survives, but flashing the zip is so reliable, I really don't care.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Awesome, that is what makes sense and what should be occurring. Thanks for the report! :good:

Awesome! It's imperative that this be the easiest v4a installation ever experienced. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ffejy462:
Just wanted to chime in. Flashed enforcing version after clean rom flash. No Viper processing, but Atmos worked. Flashed permissive version after another clean rom flash and Viper had processing and Atmos worked. However (totally expected) phone is now in permissive state. For kicks, changed selinux to enforcing via app and Viper stopped processing, changed it back to permissive and still no processing. Reboot fixed. On previous 4.0 version phone stayed in enforcing 100 % with Viper and Atmos working. Moto x pure edition TrupureXMM 6.0.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nfremd:
Sorry [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] it's tough to keep up on all the changes in this thread. I really love all of the new additions to Viper, so great job! My one clarification question is that I've noticed that there is no more light/ dark themed viper downloads on the first post but instead enforcing/permissive. If I flash the enforcing zip will I no longer have the option of a dark theme? Finally I also noticed other zips for super audio quality etc, I thought that the most recent Viper zips included super audio quality, is that not the case any more? Sorry for all of the questions, just trying to understand for myself.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

If I have a OnePlus One running Sultan's CM13 how can I install this? I don't understand the instructions given in the OP :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Slacker101:
Alright, so I'm new to this. How do I tell if an IRS file is active? Or switch them? Since it looks like there multiple are included with some of the flashable zips from OP?

Thought I selected it with the effects profiles, but they all seem to be missing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
First off there is no flashable zip in OP, the Audiophile zip needs to be extracted and put in the appropriate locations for your device. Once you have them there in V4a you need to change the UI to expert and then you will be able to enable convolver and change to use which ever one is suitable for your listening pleasure.

---------- Post added at 11:26 ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 ----------

Save a profile in V4a and then use root explorer and do a search. Once you find the profile that you just saved that is the location where you will put the files for the profile.

---------- Post added at 11:27 ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 ----------

Just install the Enforcing version of the options that you want. He explains what the different options has on the OP.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] leishi85:
I did save a new profile with my name, and try searching for that name in es file explorer, found nothing, that's why i'm confused.

But I'm on v 3.9

Flashed 2.5,2.7, to 3.9 one after another.. Without wiping ..everything Worked fine

Sorry for the confusion, there are only two versions now, one with Dolby Atmos™ and one without. Works on both Selinux environments.

I promise you, the System wipe will be worth it. :good:

It is. There is an Audiophile™ Profile zip in the attachments section that is to be extracted into your working v4a directory.

:good:

Alright guys, no more confusing nomenclature, there are only two versions now.

ViPER|Audio™ and ViPER|Atmos™, as it should be. :good:

Both work on Permissive and Enforcing Selinux.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] scedeov:

I recommend to always share the working v4a directory you find when you succeed so that others may benefit from your experience.

OMG , thanks a LOT!!!

Also you mentioned previously that you got a (private) version of your mod with only 10mb. Care to share what´s in there compared to all the "big" brothers and sister of the official mods? :)

I usualy want to keep things "small and simple" (thus my happyness about only 2 versions now which work in permissive/enforcing). I didn´t find the Dolby Athmos to be that neccesary (for me at least) also i found it introduced some sort of reverb/room sound to everything, which i didn´t liked. I just would like to have the overall volume boost, which i get from enabling the "eXtra Loud" option and use "moderate" under "Select Effect Strenght" .

No need for any sound optimisations/bass boosting aka "beats" etc. That´s why i am interested in your 10mb file. ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
If you look at the two version in the OP you will notice that both are at 10MB or less already
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

Kernel.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Just tried installing 4.2 - Huawai Beats...

- reflashed my ROM

- Flashed Kernel

- Flashed 2.66 (systemless)

- booted

- flashed 4.2 permissive

Now - the driver is not installing. should I try enforcing 4.2? (where'd it go)?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
I'm experiencing this too. I'll have to test if it goes away with Atmos off - I'm thinking hotplug is just bringing me down to 1 core at low freq with screen off and that's just not enough for ViPER+Atmos+Beats+SRS at 100%...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Same here. I just uninstalled it (Atmos that is) and flashed the version without it. It's nice, but the crackling was too much. I solved that problem a long time ago and have no desire to fix it again. Check your Screen-off min frequency and ramp it up a bit if you need to. Might check your governor too. I'm using Elemental and the Interactive Gov that I have used forever makes it pop for that last 3 versions. I switched to On-Demand back then once I figured out what was causing it and it's gone. Battery hit is negligible.

I'm always around. Just waited until the rapid fire updates slowed a bit. Last one I flashed was 2.0 a few weeks ago. Think 2.2 was where it started to become stable, but by then I went back to my own builds. Nice work though and I like your support. Keep it up.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Slacker101:
Last question hopefully, were there supposed to be Huawei™ SRS™ and DTS™ IR files to select from? Or are they included in that Audiophile Profile zip?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
So to clarify, was it the change in governor/screen off frequency that fixed the cracking/popping? Did that fix it for Atmos as well? Or is it that the version without Atmos fixes it with either governor?

I'm on stock firmware and can't tweak the governor, is why I ask for clarity.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SpasilliumNexus:
2015 Moto X Pure Edition here. Was getting the crackling noise here with an optimized kernel with Atmos enabled. It stopped once I changed it from the default interactive to ondemand.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Two answers actually.

For the older fix to the cracking and popping that wasn't in LP but made its reappearance in MM, all I had to do was tweak my Governor, Scheduler and Hotplugging. I say reappearance because when v4a came out, it was during the late ICS days. Worked fine in JB, but then in KK the kernel toolchains changed so much, it caused really bad cracking and popping. The kernel devs like Franco and Faux fixed it and submitted patches, so all the kernels you use now either have Faux sound or another patch included.

For the fix for today, I just uninstalled the v4a/Atmos completely, rebooted and installed the other one without Atmos. Popping was gone immediately. I know that this is supposed to work with Permissive, but there is always going to be an issue with ROMs and kernels working together on that issue and then throwing a sound mod on top that also dabbles in it will inherently cause problems. Too many cooks in the kitchen type thing. But if the past 50 pages of this thread mean anything it is that he is accountable and willing to help whomever needs it. Since you are on stock firmware, I highly doubt that you can change your kernel's Permissive/Enforcing parameters. Not saying that it has anything to do with your issue, but I would put a fairly decent wager that it's contributing to the cause.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Hmmm... I have it working now - here is what I did :

- ran V4A - and uninstalled driver from there

- booted into TWRP

- cleared dalvik/cache

- reflashed 4.2 (I also re-downloaded the renamed file (doesn't say permissive)

- cleared dalvik/cache

- rebooted

Driver is now fully functional!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] adm1jtg:
For all those with the crackling sound have you tried re-installing the v4a driver to use the a less aggressive version of the driver. The desc for super does say it requires 2 cores with hotplugging maybe your setup isnt meeting that requirement
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Thank you for this clear answer. I've just reflashed my /system and reinstalled ViperAudio 4.2, I'll see if that fixes the popping.

I say stock, but it is modified stock - the Kernel has init.d enabled and the boot.img is modified for systemless root. My ROM came with an init.d script that sets Permissive on boot. However, I can't see governor tunables and the only governors available are interactive (default), performance and conservative.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Those are effects and libraries that process in the background via audio_effects.conf.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Syoenth:
Same here but with the S3
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Samsung users with issues need to attach their audio_effects.conf files. I'm almost positive I know how to fix it. I just don't have a script and I need confirmation it works before doing a script

I am not having any issues on my Samsung S5 running the latest enforcing version with the kernel set to enforcing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
I have Samsung Note 5 and you know i'm here from 3.2 version, never had one issue.

I'm still on a clean installed L9 rom from dr.ketan with stock kernel and installed your Viper/Dolby-Beats/Huawei 4.2 enforcing (that's the one in OP i think)I had download it in the morning when there was permissive and enforcing.

I came from your RHR Viper/Atmos version but i have listen to music for an half hour now but i have to say the sound is great.

When i was on the 3.6 version there was something missing in the sound for me that's why i tryed the combo with xtreme and after RHR updated i tryed that.But for now i think this is great and i don't miss anything now in the sound.And no cracking at all

the sound is clean for me.I think [MENTION=4603962]Phrodini[/MENTION] you should try this and i like to know off you think the same.please let me (us) know.

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.2.1 Beats™ Huawei™ Edition​

Don't worry guys, no testing phase about to begin! I'm suspecting a possible conflict in supolicy and sepolicy. If you don't want to wipe System before flashing to test, it is imperative that these files are deleted first:

/system/addon.d/23-v4adap.sh or 23-v4a.sh

/system/etc/init.d/50viper

/system/su.d/50viper.sh

This version is testing only:

/system/su.d/50viper.sh

to see if it fixes many issues including driver installation issues and to see if it still works on Enforcing and Permissive Selinux. Let me know how it goes guys!

Reflashing my stock /system backup and ViperAudio 4.2 Beats Huawei did seem to fix the popping issue, in particular the bad stutter when the screen times out and dims on its own.

Now to figure out why I can't load profiles (settings don't change unless I manually change them), save new profiles (they don't appear in either working directory) or overwrite the profiles I had during the 4.0CT (though I can see them).
