Not much luck getting this file to work properly;

ViPER___Atmos_Installer_2.0_Dark_5.x.x-6.0.1_by_guitardedhero

Tried it on my nexus 5, nexus 6 and nexus 7.

Followed instructions in OP:

Installation:

Boot to recovery

Install > ViPER |>Atmos Installer zip

Reboot

Open v4a

Menu > Show Notification (block if desired by long pressing notification)

Menu > UI Setting > Expert

Menu > Load Effect Profile or simply just Enable v4a and adjust settings to taste.

The file installs and I'm able to open select Expert mode.

But when I check Driver Status almost everything checks out, except for this;

"Processing: No"

I tried loading different profiles and also enabling/disabling V4A-FX button. Nothing.

In the end, I used an old file named "TestLolliViPER_v2.3.4.0"

This is the one that always seems to work for me. When you open Viper App, a prompt tells you to install driver and reboot. After that, I select expert mode and I'm good to go.

Only problem/inconvenience I have with it is;

1- I have to select a profile twice before it takes effect.

2- The other thing is that the MusicFX button that shows up in PowerAmp "Tone/Vol" disappears, so I'm not able to switch directly from PowerAmp to Viper settings.

Instead, I have to open Viper App every time to make profile changes.

3- I don't have the additional Dolby Atmos settings.

Most likely, the Viper zip file I'm using has a script that removes MusicFX files.

I tried copying the Music folder and file back into priv-app folder and changing permissions as suggested.

When I do this, the app shows up in App manager once again, but the button under PowerAmp does not show up. Even after reboot.

Do you guys also have to select a profile twice before it switches?

Now that I have Viper working using my old file, is there a way I can incorporate the Dolby/Atmos settings without messing Viper?

I'm curious as to what other enhancements it provides.

Thanks.

Unrelated problem(s), but I've followed these steps you listed.

When I boot up my phone it presents an error message saying "Dolby Service has stopped." I kept getting prompts to install the V4A driver so I flashed the NEON driver. On reboot I get the message again, then I can't find the Viper app anywhere, not in /data/app nor in /system/priv-app, and if I install Viper from the APK in the .zip file it again prompts me to install drivers!

Do you know how I could proceed from this point?

Dirty flash rom/wipe system needed or not before flashing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
Hi!

So I was on ViperAtmos 4.8 Sony beats edition with my CM13 ROM, on my nexus 6p. Everything worked, including in-call volume.

I wanted to give this a try, so I used ReDUX 9Y as my phone system contains that libaudcal.so file. I extracted the alsa and fluence hd prop into my sdcard, and renamed it to tweak.prop. I wiped dalvik cache and cache, flashed my ROM zip, kernel, then flashed ReDUX 9Y.

Now everything is working except the in-call volume is unadjustable now. Is there a quick fix for this?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] smartymcfly:
Will you also include the Sony Video Player with the Sony Music Player, please? The Podcasts have audio and video podcasts and podcasts is included with music player. Or if not, will let me know what lib and other files I need to extract to install the video player without it crashing.

I installed the complete xperia media zip and that is OK, but it has a bunch stuff I will never use like the themes, update, what's new, etc...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] AquilaDroid:
OK, I'm screaming "HELP"! I always try to research everything, be the helper, not the "helpee", but after hours of working to get this to work on my N5X (Bullhead) with PureNexus 04-07, I'm giving up. I've tried multiple releases and add-ons, read the entire thread multiple times and have gotten excellent sound from ViPERAtmos RdDUX 8A with Sony Music 9.1.8.A.1.1, but each time have the dreaded no/low volume on calls, both earpiece and speaker. After totally clean flashing the ROM a couple times to get the sound back (since a Nandroid didn't achieve that) I discovered that the problem is in the Vendor partition (possibly one or all of the three files in vendor/etc?) so I've been able to reflash the stock vendor.img to get a working phone. At one point I was convinced that changing from Stericson's BusyBox to Meefik's version was going to make it work but it didn't seem to help. I'm still VERY anxious to get this to work, know that many of you have it working, but haven't seen any reports from N-5X users other than [MENTION=4209870]leblvin[/MENTION] who got it to work on 4.6 back on Feb. 14. Could this be fixed by the latest ReDUX 9X / tweak.prop conversation? This is too good to let go, but my wife (of 45 years!) is going to let me go at the rate I'm going <G>. Any detailed help will be much appreciated!

Hey Bruh!:highfive:

I just finished testing Redux9X sorry to report same outcome as the rest, in-call volume is loud enough to hear, still not able to adjust the call volume and using the loudspeaker causes background noise this effecting touch-tone use. One positive is Pulse now works again, as 8A seemed to break it.

I will say though, music audio quality still has very crisp highs, nice rich bass and still is an over improvement sound wise over 4.8. :victory:

Not sure how you want to proceed, but I am around all weekend for testing if needed so don't hesitate to bug.:good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
:highfive:

After reviewing all comments and reports from last night, this is absolutely an issue caused by a change or changes to stock files by DU. I will investigate and overcome what DU has done. :good:

DU or similar rom with Pulse?

What rom?

Don't feel discouraged. 4.8.1 is the bomb and exactly what ReDUX essentially is: an attempt to bring 4.8.1 to everyone. 4.8.1 lacks very little compared to ReDUX: surround_sound and a few additional Z5 Premium Marshmallow acdb libraries.

Always remember that results will always vary and to trust your ears and judgement only. I actually love your report and review as you are obviously not being swayed by the idea that nothing touches ReDUX. You are familiar with 4.8.1's personality and you are able to compare it appropriately to other versions with the different nuances.

Great job! :good:

DU 6p has the worst success rate until I investigate the changes DU has made to stock libraries. Will have that done today, I bet. :good:

:highfive:

Rest assured that Sony Music 9.1.8.A.1.1 does not contain any sound libraries and effects whatsoever not already contained in ReDUX. :good:

This is an interesting scenario to test if Remix contains the DU changes to stock files that is breaking in-call volume adjustment for 6p. ReDUX 9X is what all 6p devices will want to use. :good:

Download and extract the ReDUX tweak.props zip and view it's contents. Read every single txt file and view all other files as text and it should be very clear. :good:

ReDUX 9X or ReDUX 9Y are your choices. You can narrow those two choices to one by answering if 4.8.1 worked on your current setup if you tried it in the past. :good:

Read every file as text and you should see what is available and different. :good:

Download all three zips from the ReDUX 9 post, especially the tweak.prop files. You'll know which version to try first if having tried 4.8.1 in the past. :good:

No wipes necessary. :good:

Expected results there for 6p as ReDUX 9X is the version all 6p'ers should use. :good:

Great at idea, I will likely include Sony Album as well. :good:

I know your situation all too well lol! (20yrs together!)

Are you on DU or similar ROM with Pulse by chance?

If 4.8.1 never worked for your setup then only try ReDUX 9X. :good:

I've come to realize this is a DU isolated issue which shouldn't be too hard to find what I need to do to fix for those devices on DU. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
I'm on Nexus 6P, PureNexus 04/07.

I added the fluence tweak.prop lines and started to get soft reboots when I open the Google Search app. I went back to only using the ALSA tweak.prop lines and the reboots stopped.

After that I decided to wipe clean and flash completely stock mhc19q, rooted that and flashed 9X and it's audio_policy.conf mods and ALSA build.prop lines only and still had the in call volume problem.

Back on PureNexus 04/07 and ReDUX #6 now and all's well.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Not surprised as the FluenceHD lines pose more opportunities for issues. The cherrypicks are from my N6 device only and why the suggestedtweak.prop is ALSA only. Please remember that 9X and 9Y patch your audio_policy so do not introduce a different audio_policy after flashing, in your case, 9X. Dirty flash your to rom to restore your audio_policy before flashing ReDUX. You should have full functionality if not using a DU 6p rom until I find its issue. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Dirty Nexus 6P Users!​

This was posted a few pages back, but I suppose it was missed ....

I am trying to make my speaker and headset volume much louder...

I am using ViPERAudio_4.8_Sony_Beats_Edition.zip

It's working great... what's the best way to increase overall speaker volume (to get it louder) and or headset speaker volume ? (max gain to +6 db) ?

Anyone know the best way to get to the highest sound ? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Absolutely! :good:

Similar to DU, right?

With v4a's Expert UI Setting, adjust Output Gain on the bottom of each tab to higher values. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jarheadflip:
Yes sir from what I've read here its same issue
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
:good:

6 dB Output Gain? Your use-case, speaker output while driving isn't exactly practical and would certainly not be sufficient for me. Bluetooth and auxiliary are recommended for this scenario.

Alternatively, Dolby Atmos adds significant speaker output.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
I understand it isn't practical, sometimes I don't have my BT with me. So being I am on Sony_Best_Edition -- would I have to flash the Dolby Atmos zip -- or will that cause stability issues having both flashed on the device ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Got on the N preview..it's okay so far but the minor glitches can be annoying with certain apps. Which one are you running,guitardedhero?since me and you have the same phone and similar setups
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You should be able to just flash the same version # of the ViPERAtmos zip with no wipes.

I'm on N5X (Bullhead) with PureNexus 04-07. Should I just flash ReDUX 9X by itself or with add-ons? What is it that changes vendor partition and screws up the in-call sound? Thanks for all your work, don't know how you do it!

I'll report back afterwards.

And my bad I should have said which viper version are you running,I installed the same n preview as you
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I've narrowed it down to libacdmapper.so and libaudcal.so. :good:

Tell me if /system/lib/libaudcal.so exists already on your rom without any mods. If it does exist, copy it to /sdcard for safekeeping.

adjust mixer_paths.xml file. Alothough, I have no idea how to do, but that's what 99% of the sound boosting mods on Xda are. If you know how, the sound levels can be adjusted. Some devs on threads i've seen will even do custom for you if you provide them with your file. It's in system/etc. Just make sure to save your original file before making any changes. Also, you can search your device, and may find one already modded that you can flash.

I tried it on my phone..you basically go to system/etc, make sure to have write permission. Open the mixer_paths.xml in text editor ..with root explorer hold mixer paths and choose open in text editor... Look for RX1- whatever yours ends with. On mine I think it's RX6 or 8.

The default value is 80

Tap after the 0 to erase both numbers and change to 95 just to test. You can change all of the 80s to 95s

Save and reboot

There is also HPHL and HPHR..mine was set to 20

I set it to 30..can't go high on that one. This i's for the left and right headphones.

What music player(s)?

Those are build.prop lines used on previous and current ViPER packages. None are absolutely necessary, these are just provided as preset lines to experiment and customize on your own for your needs/preferences. :good:
