[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I am running ViPERAtmos Sony Beats Edition 4.8 with extremebeats aural maximizer zip it is working superb. Tried to flash guitardedhero tweakprop zip from recovery but got error so went into system build prop file, deleted all viper audio and Sony entries and replaced it with your tweakprop entries, created a tweak.prop file in SD card and rebooted phone. It's working fine. (Did I do the right thing?) OR there is any other way doing it? By the way my audiofx is not disabled despite that am getting superb sound. For the record I am on bacon CM 13 Jgcaap rom.

The Aural maximizer zip really did improve my sound. Can it be flashed on KK (for my standalone music player), or does there need to be a special version?

Do I just remove all the lines under Viperaudio in my build.prop and then paste all the entries from the guitardedhero-tweak.prop?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
I just replaced the one I got for 4.8.1 with this.

Wait a minute. This isn't about build.prop. This is a separate thing. You place it in /storage/emulated/0 and rename it to tweak.prop. That's all you do. It's there for the system to use. At least that's the way I understand it.

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I have a question here, I already used ALSA and FLUENCE HD cherrypicks tweak prop for a week and want to try your tweak prop posted several pages before.

The question I have now is can I simply edit my tweak prop with your lines then flash tweakprop.zip to apply it or I have to delete extra strings in build.prop which are added by the tweak prop I use now before I start to edit my tweak prop and apply it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Sander9847:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Sander9847:
Wow really, I just added all those lines in my buildprop and deleted the duplicate ones (+90%). Because it was almost all the same lines viperatmos wrote to my build.prop I though it must've been that. Oh well I booted up just fine and music sounds great like before.

EDIT: I'll fix this if I find problems, if not then I'll just remove all added lines in my build.prop once a new viperatmos zip is released.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Read the instructions in Quicksetup.Txt - and here are my questions:

- add desired build.prop entries to mytweak.prop

?? - what desired build.prop entries would these be?

?? - I don't have a mytweak.prop - anywhere, or a tweak.prop

Copy mytweak.prop to /sdcard

?? see above - no mytweak.prop

Rename /sdcard/mytweak.prop to /sdcard/tweak.prop

Run the tweakprop supported mod/rom zip or simply run tweakprop.zip at any time.

?? I'm assuming this zip does something with sdcard/tweak.prop so basically by 'prepping tweak.prop' in sdcard - build.prop is being updated??

I want to use the latest guitardedhero_tweak.prop - can I just copy that to sdcard as tweak.prop - and run the tweakprop.zip in twrp?

- or - can I just copy the guitardedhero_tweak.prop lines to the end of my /system/build.prop ? (removing the sony lines). Note - my build.prop currently has no viper4android or sony lines currently in it.

- OR - is the sdcard/tweak.prop - file used by itself - and we don't WANT to modify build.prop ??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Still on 4.8.1, ran out of energy last night lol. :good:

Fantastic review and is no surprise, this add-on OS phenomenal! :good:

Attached below! :good:

Yes, attached below. :good:

Simply flash eXB™ on top of anything. My optimized version of it is below. :good:

Please dirty flash your rom or restore your /system and flash a stable version such as 4.8. :good:

That zip is an archive containing guitardedhero_tweak.prop and is not usable by TWRP. There is a TWRP zip below containing a lot of information and tweakprop ideas that will be created in this directory once booted up:

/sdcard/TweakProp

Inside is more than enough information. :good:

Absolutely! :good:

Yes, there is never a reason to actually mess with /system/build.prop except for the following type of scenario:

You want to adjust your DPI through /system/build.prop but do not have the line available to add to /sdcard/tweak.prop:

Open /system/build.prop in text editor

Find and copy the complete DPI line

Exit without saving changes

Open /sdcard/tweak.prop text editor

Paste the entire DPI line you copied

Ensure a blank, empty line exists under the very last entry in /sdcard/tweak.prop

Save changes

Flash tweakprop.zip from within /sdcard/TweakProp at any time or flash a rom/mod zip with tweakprop support.

This ensures your /system/build.prop is always up to date after rom flashes and that your desired edits are automatically performed for you taking care of duplicate entries, everything. :good:

If your /system/build.prop contains entries from an earlier form of your /sdcard/tweak.prop and /sdcard/tweak.prop now currently reflects the desired output, flashing tweakprop.zip or a rom/mod with tweakprop support will prepare /system/build.prop precisely how you want it. :good:

Hopefully, the previous answers provide the clarity youre seeking. :good:

Hi guitaredhero,

Do you have any idea why I'm having trouble with v4a accessing my profiles and irs files only since I updated to 6.0.1 a few days ago?

I'm currently using ViPERAtmos_ReDUX_9Y.zip with your eXtremeBeats_Aural_Maximizer.zip on top.

When I want to play tunes and I go to load a profile, I get these choices (1st attachment) the choices are just dummies that I added to see if I could find where the directory was.

I have to keep going to app permissions for V4a and toggling it off then on. Then I will see these profiles (attachment 2) which are the real profiles I want, which by the way are always visible in my viper4androisd folder in my internal storage. I can't even find where those dummy profiles are located.

Also, last night I was trying to fine tune some things and noticed that any new profiles I was trying to create were not being saved or any I was trying to wrile over were saving either.

I've never had this problem in all the years I've been using various versions of Viper4android.

What do you think, should I try a 5.5 version?

Thanks in advance for your patience.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Marvin_1003:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] what do you think about the newest XtremeMusic version 7.1?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
There is not a scenario I would ever recommend 5.5 in its current state. ViPER4Android would have to receive an official update that is at least as good as 2.3.4.0 is. 5.x currently exists only for those that are bothered by not having the latest release.

I recommend flashing the zip below which should correct your directory issues as well as create an /sdcard/TweakProp directory full of information to fully take advantage of tweakprop support. :good:

I haven't tried it honestly. 7.0.1 was the last version I actually listened to. Anything after that has solely been to fix issues users faced with those versions. The first two XM releases starting at 4.x were the absolute best with every update seemingly regressing from what made those two versions excellent.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BatCyr:
Thank you very much for the explanation I think I almost got it. Two points still need clarification for me: how exactly is made the backup of the initial rom's build.prop, and how do I revert or get rid of any change I made through any tweak.prop?

Edit: I lied I have another one. At which moment exactly does the change occur? Immediately after I extract or rename a tweak.prop anywhere on my device? At the moment I place it at the root of the sdcard? Or when I flash tweakprop.zip?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Sounds good on the moto g with the tweak and mods
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
When you save changes to the build.prop it makes a backup of the original with a .bak extension. I would rename the new one build.prop2.bak then remove.bak from the original and reboot. That way you could have your choice.

A build must meet very strict prerequisites to become an OP attachment. All the builds you mention have failed the compatibility prerequisite as well as the bug-free prerequisite.

Got it, thanks for clarifying!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aqilsoomro:
I prepared everything and ran tweakprop.zip rebooted but cant find additional entries in the system build.prop text. Is this tweak prop not getting merged into build prop as add on entries or is it being used from its own place, SD card/tweak.prop, or I am not doing it properly please clarify? If it is getting merged or not how can we confirm?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
I had something happen yesterday that had me concerned. I hadn't changed tweak.prop when I flashed Aural Maximizer. Later on I remembered to so I did. Then I thought it's supposed to be there when the mod is flashed. So I flashed it again. After I did it my good sound changed. It became way too bright.

Then this morning I found the new ViperAtmos Extreme Beats Aural Maximizer zip. I noticed it had tweak.prop built in. I flashed it and now my good sound is back.

My question is: Maybe I used the wrong tweak.prop? Or did I do it in the wrong order? Or something else?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:
extract the tweak.prop from the zip file. It's not a flashable zip. Place on sdcard (internal) then flash eXtremeBeats ViperAtomos 4.8 Aural Maximizer Edition. OR, if you already have that installed, navigate to the TweakProp folder on your internal sdcard with flashify, or through TWRP and flash the tweakprop.zip file inside the folder.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] meleelord:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] if I was to flash eXtremeBeats along with your mod, would you recommend using atmos, or just forgetting about it? Not sure if it would conflict?

I will say, I am pretty satisfied with the sound improvements when using the eXtremeBeats_Mod over top of ViPERAtmos4.8SB.:good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vibrantliker:
I flashed the ViPERAudio_Audiophile_4.0_Profile_and_TweakProp_Preparation_(TWRP).zip and now see it did create a TweakProp folder on my internal sdcard.

I don't know anything about the whole TweakProp thing but it sounds like they are edits to the buildprop for even better sound?

I tried flashing the tweakprop.zip inside the folder but it failed. Was that the right step?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Open the folder that the TP prep.zip created. Inside you'll see several "text" type files, one of which is called Suggestedtweak.prop. Copy (notice I said to Copy and not Move) this specific file over to your internal SDCard. Once it is copied, then rename Suggestedtweak.prop -> to tweak.prop (make sure there are no spaces between Tweak and Prop. Some file managers autocorrect/inject the spaces in there). Now all you have to do is flash a Tweak.Prop version of Viper. I'm on a Nexus 6 running Pure Nexus and Elemental Kernel and am running 9Y+eXtremeBeats Aural Maximizer.

Make sure that you don't overcomplicate this and flash things that don't need to be flashed. Simply putting the tweak.prop file on your SDCard and flashing a compatible Tweak.Prop build of GH's v4a is all you need to do. Then if you want to get more involved, you can add/subtract things from the tweak file, flash add-ons like Aural or even just run it as it is out of the box.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vibrantliker:
Thanks Woody. Do know what versions are tweak.prop compatible? I am currently on Viper/Atmos ReDUX 9Y and have eXtremeBeats_Aural_Maximizer.zip flashed on top.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
They'll generally have TP in the name of the zip(see below).

We are on the exact same files, so all you need to really do at this point is copy and rename the suggestedtweak.prop to tweak.prop and go from there. Maybe just reflash 9Y to initiate the TP.

If you crack open your 9Y zip, you'll see the tweakpropscript folder that is run when you flash 9Y. If there is nothing on sdcard/tweak.prop then it won't initialize and run this. By having tweak.prop on your sdcard, it scans your phone looking for this specific file and if found, executes it. This is why you have a mytweak(copy).prop created and not a working tweak.prop file. Multiple tweak.prop files in different places on your phone will cause issues. Hope that make sense.

tl;dr Only have one file named tweak.prop anywhere on your phone.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Anyone out there have a UE Boom2 Bluetooth speaker? I rarely listen to BT in my car, but I play music for my sons' baseball team while we are having batting practice to get them pumped up or have it sitting on top of the fridge while I'm cooking dinner. Without going completely clean and starting from zero configurations, I cannot find a good profile that isn't too trebly. It is a decent speaker on the upwards trend of high end and sound quality, but for me the BT sounds like a bag of silverware being dropped on an aluminum foil covered brass gong.

Anyone have a decent BT speak profile that is a decent balance between bass and treble? My headphones are dialed in perfectly, just need a BT profile.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It depends on the entries. Entries that edit existing entries simply change those entries. Entries that are not present on your current build.prop will be added to the bottom.

To confirm, you could add any line that you know doesn't exist like:

This line confirms build.prop is patched via tweakprop

Any line starting with special characters are automatically skipped so don't try testing a commented (#) line. :good:

Yes, I noticed today that it was brighter as well. The only thing I changed was removing the SONY effect lines. I wouldn't think removing those would brighten it up but I'm going to check real quick and add them back if I did indeed remove them.

Edit*

No, I had forgotten to remove the Sony lines, so doing that now. That makes sense as they are clarity focused.

That is an example tweak.prop by Miustone. It is an unedited version and is to show how much you can do with this. tweak.prop provides the user absolute control over how their build.prop is handled and many users have various types of tweaks and edits, certainly not limited to audio.

Was the error in TWRP red or white?

I've been unable to test without Atmos as I've been crazy busy.

Red or white text for failure? tweak.prop by that exact name must exist on /sdcard for it to patch build.prop which is why a file by that name will never come from me. It is up to the user to initiate this to ensure the user is well aware of what they are doing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Did that N2 rom boot for you, guitardedhero?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vibrantliker:
Red but now I understand cause I didn't have the tweak.prop on /sdcard.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:
yeah, they are all test versions unless posted in the OP. BUT, don't let that fool ya. The REDUX versions, or any version implementing the tweak.prop is phenomenal. But they are all tests because of compatibility. For example, the 9XXX works awesome on my S3, but doesn't work on my OnePlus X. For that, I had to use 9Y. I would recommend the absolute best version here, there or anywhere is the eXtremeBeats ViperAtomos 4.8 Aural Maximizer Edition?

I have reduxxxx, and also the extremebeats mod.

And it was worth it :D my god! it is a completely different sound! I thought it can't be better, but yes.. It is now :D

I need to experiment a bit more with these build.prop tweaks, because the only way this whole package works for me is without any tweaks. I will test later. now I want to enjoy the sound! it is awesome!
