I used the Elite N1 , SuperSU 2.71, and a Permissive zip I put together containing a /system/bin file another user shared.

Here's what I did:

In recovery:

Wipe > Advanced > System

Mount > Uncheck System

Wipe > Factory Reset (only because I wanted to)

Install > NPC91K zip

Mount > System

Advanced > File Manager

Navigate and /system/app

Deleted several folders, most importantly:

- the three Editors folders to create plenty of /system space

Mount > Uncheck System

Reboot

Set up as New Device (only because I wanted to)

Adjusted settings and updated apps

Boot to recovery

Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache

Install > Elite N1 Kernel

Install > SuperSU 2.71

Reboot

In Terminal:

getenforce

Output reported Enforcing

Boot to recovery

Install > NPC56P Permissive zip

Reboot

In Terminal:

getenforce

Output reported Permissive

Boot to recovery

Install > equivalent to ReDUX 8

Reboot

Installed Meefik BusyBox from Play Store

Enabled Storage Permissions for all apps

In Meefik BusyBox:

Install BusyBox to /system/xbin

Reboot

Permissive Selinux, nor BusyBox is required for ReDUX, but sufficient /system space is. :good:

The file must be renamed to tweak.prop after copying to /sdcard and double check that BACKUP=y is the first line entry. If adding any lines, ensure that a blank, empty line exists under the very last entry. :good:

FX File Explorer and Mix Explorer have done a good job. The user was mistaken and later clarified he was describing Root Browser. :good:

Dammit!!

It kicks PowerAmp's ass for one, and has the best DLNA functionality of any player. Honestly, with the installation I use for it, no music player sounds better when used with any ViPER|Audio package. :good:

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] bro I'm on Redux 7.2 & now I'm going to flash Redux 8A. So, I should wipe anything before flashing Redux 8A ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Same result as [MENTION=5866088]Paschfire[/MENTION] for me.

In-call volume stuck and can't be adjusted during a call.

Flashed stock vendor.

Wiped System then flashed rom, gapps and 8A.

Going back to ReDUX #6 for now.

I'm happy to test anything you want on the 6P
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] githyanki:
Crap, flashing this killed SafetyNet/Android Pay.

Perhaps dirty flashing rom will fix this....
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
:good:

ReDUX 8 will delete certain files so no wipes should be necessary. :good:

Thanks for the report, so 6 works well with 6p and 7 or 7.1 seems to as well.

8 is the most aggressive so far so this helps me figure out what needs to be done. :good:

No worries, delete sony, semc, and somc files from /system/etc/permissions and /system/framework and reboot. Some, but not much (DLNA), functionality will be lost but Android Pay will be fully functional. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
I had the in call volume problem with the #7 versions too.

6 has been the best so far and has also fixed the echo that anyone who called me complained of.

As ever, thank you for all your hard work on this :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

ReDUX is worth the time to find cross-device compatibility which requires work from all of us so I especially appreciate all the testing and reporting! :good:

Again! You are THE MAN! :D

I also got it working!

N Preview 2, viper beats 5.5, and a clean install of poweramp alpha 700, and it finally works!

I don't know what was wrong with my poweramp install... I upgraded the old one first and it wasn't working. I had to uninstall and install.

It is done now. I can sit down, relax and listen to music :D

And stay on N Preview...

Thanks [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

ViPER|Atmos™ ReDUX™ Test Build Resource​

Winner!

ReDUX™ 9XXX​
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] joetheshmo:
What version would you recommend me to use on du for my bullhead (5X)?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
8A, unless you've tried that version unsuccessfully.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Zootopia:
What about an OPO [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]? Which do you recomend? (successfully using 4.8.1-TP redux right now)

Ans thanks for your work and dedication.

The kind of sharing and support you show here, sets the example, and is truly inspiring. ??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] Thanks for the single location. But now the downside of this, for you =) I see there are "Dirty" editions in there. I assume they are for DU roms, but they don't have a # on them, so are they version 1? Is 8A still my go to once DU drops their weekly today, or should I be looking at one of the Dirty versions?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] -iHackerz-:
Using 8A on mine, everything working except it doesn't process audio from Spotify :/
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I appreciate the kind words man! :good:

The version you are on has the most offered. 8A contains a little less but is using a couple more libraries from the Z5 Premium. I am thinking about adding back surround_sound, vpt, vpt51, and xloud to ReDUX as it doesn't seem to lose any issues at all. 4.8.1 also uses /system/lib/libaudcal.so, which I found out is necessary for some devices, though it breaks my N6 N volume so many versions don't include that file. Essentially, any version containing /system/lib/libaudcal.so should work properly for you. :good:

Lol, no doubt! A few of the test versions are the result of one-on-one testing over Hangouts. I was working with a Dirty user last night so the naming helped me keep it separate from the other versions. This testing session also made me realize that some devices need /system/libaudcal.so, which the initial 4.8.1 contains.

It's quite confusing, but here's a little breakdown:

If the original 4.8.1 version, before ReDUX started, worked perfectly for you then any ReDUX with /system/lib/libaudcal.so should work fine. Even more confusing, ever since updating to N, 4.8.1 breaks my volume so /system/lib/libaudcal.so needs to be gone but /system/vendor/lib/libaudcal.so is fine... as long as it is not the libaudcal.so that was previously in /system/lib in 4.8.1. The stock N6 N and Z5 Premium Marshmallow /system/vendor/lib/libaudcal.so files both work perfectly. That's why I added the Z5 Premium Marshmallow vendor libaudcal.so to ReDUX 8, to hopefully have compatibility with Marshmallow and N.

Don't feel bad if it's too much to follow lol! I finally figured this part out last night, as well as the need for /system/lib/libaudcal.so for many Marshmallow devices. :good:

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Oh Ya... I forgot to report that Redux 8A also breaks Pulse.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's not a problem as I haven't returned audio_policy patching yet to the zips. :good:

Remove the deep_buffer paragraph or overwrite the AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_DEEP_BUFFER with AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_PRIMARY, save changes, and reboot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] -iHackerz-:
Yea just crossed over that, applied the patch a minute ago, good work! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Is that with the use of a modified audio_policy? Was 8A an improvement in other areas? It might require the 4.8 or similar audio_effects for Pulse.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bmccoy11:
Could you link recent updates in the OP? It's hard to go through so many posts every day just to stay in the loop.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
So everything all good? Please confirm everything on your device such as outputs and voice call volume as I think it only makes sense to provide a list of success reports detailing:

Device, Rom, OS, and ReDUX version(s)

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] any chance for Redux Series for JB KK? the original 4.8.1 for JB KK worked for me so I think I'll be able to run this too :good:

Do I need to upload my audio_policy.conf? I'm using a Galaxy S3 (Korean Variant. E210S) running on CM11 Temasek.

Here's my planned flashing procedures>>

1. Total Clean flash of Rom

2. Copy the audio_policy.conf, before flashing any mods.

3. Flash the MusicFX installer for JB KK then Wipe dalvik/cache, reboot

4. Flash the latest/recommended Viper|Atmos Redux for JB KK then Wipe dalvik/cache, reboot

5. Flash the latest/recommended tweak.prop for JB KK then Wipe dalvik/cache, reboot

6. Copy the audio_policy.conf, optimized by [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] or the one found at the database? then reboot

6. enjoy the eargasm. :fingers-crossed:

You'll likely want to try 9X first. :good:

Coming right up! Be sure to prepare your desired tweak.prop before flashing as tweak.prop support is built-in. :good:

Oh man [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], finally! Glad to say that lots of testing went to good use.. this is the most complete version of Viper I have ever used. Android never sounded so good! Using Fluence ALSA Tweak Prop - so you guys know it doesn't break Pulse! Thanks for this gem and the countless hours I know you put into making it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] iceman0826:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I got confused on how to flash the tweak.props, I'm supposed to put that on my sdcard right? but I'm confused as to how to prepare the tweak.props. Do you have that recommended tweak.props that you personally use at the moment? so that I'll just put that on my sdcard and flash the ReDuX 9 :good:

and the MusicFX installer in the OP is universal right? it works with JB KK?

UPDATE [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

silly me I went to look at the Redux Tweak Props and it seems I just need to rename the ALSA_and_FLUENCE_HD_cherrypicks_tweak.prop to >>> tweak.prop

sorry for my ignorance hehe :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Did the original 4.8.1 work for you? What ROM and OS version?

Thanks again for all your help brother!

You'll likely need to pull MusicFX from a JB rom and place the apk in /system/priv-app with 0644 permissions. Having MusicFX may not be necessary though.

I use the ALSA and Fluence HD cherrypicks tweak.prop in the ReDUX tweak.prop zip. Extract and place that file in /sdcard, rename to tweak.prop and then flash ReDUX. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] iceman0826:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] one last question do i need to incorporate the Vipersony.prop lines to ALSA_and_FLUENCE_HD_cherrypicks_tweak.prop?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
There's never a need, experiment and see what sounds good and what doesn't. I have only tested ALSA and Fluence HD on ReDUX so far.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jesssiii:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], same here. Used that tweek prop above noted and all is excellent! And call volume can still be adjusted here on 6P.

One thing- When first opening viper it told me I had low audio mode, or something like that, on my device and it offered to automatically mod my build.prop. I said no, worried about letting it do so without checking here.

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Fantastic news right there! :good:

Selecting Yes instructs v4a to write entries in build.prop to disable low power audio. Oddly, I've never faced that occurrence so I don't know the differences you would notice between selecting Yes or No. I think I'll Google that real quick since I'm not brainsmashimg ReDUX anymore. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deebray36:
do we have to re-flash redux everytime we make changes to our tweak props?...by the way i just figured out how to use it lol :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jesssiii:
Do you add the Viper Sony prop info to the Alsa/FluenceHD prop?

I'm working this weekend or I would have let Viper mod build.prop, might try it Monday, my day off.

Thanks again for your work on this!

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Nope! All of my flashable mods that support tweak.prop are essentially two flashable zips. The flashable tweakprop.zip is just flashed by the mod's installation script. All you have to do is extract the main mod zip and pull tweakprop.zip from the tweakpropscript folder and place where your flashable zips normally reside. When you want to just run a tweak.prop patch or several ones to test each result simply make sure you've prepared your desired /sdcard/tweak.prop and flash tweakprop.zip in recovery. The tweakprop utility is the only function that will occur!

I love this method as the user has total control over their build.prop when flashing any of my stuff, and I'm also able to provide different suggested or alternative tweak.prop presets!

Just remember, and I cannot stress this enough to users and developers, NEVER, EVER include a tweak.prop file by that name in a mod for the developer, and NEVER, EVER rename a file as tweak.prop unless you've already examined its contents and have already placed it in /sdcard for the user. :good:

I haven't yet, I've been pleased with the ALSA/FluenceHD cherrypicks. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
6P with today's DU weekly and I can't adjust incall volume. :( I'm using the ALSA and FluenceHD tweak.prop and the modified audio_policy that you made for me a while back.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Dirty flash DU and flash 9Y or 9X, whichever one has been reported as successful. Your audio_policy will be patched by the mod. I think the successful 6p'er also used ALSA/FluenceHD cherrypicks so the audio_policy is the only deviation, unless a different ReDUX 9 was flashed. Which version did you flash while I look back and check?

Full FluenceHD or the cherrypicks version?

Ah, it was [MENTION=2861395]jesssiii[/MENTION]!

What ReDUX 9 version did you flash [MENTION=2861395]jesssiii[/MENTION]?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
I flashed 9X. I'll give the dirty a try now and let you know.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
OK, I'm thinking 9X is needed as I believe 4.8.1 caused similar issues for 6p. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lynnux:
Wow, the sound quality with the latest (ViperAtmos ReDUX9Y) is outrageously good. Thank you. N5 is known for its mediocre sound card, this really makes it great. Very clear, the processing (and it needs little) sounds so natural w/great presence. Yowza.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Abaddon:
I kept going back to redux#6 but no pulse for my OP2 as the the newer ones has no media volume and it seems like it doesn't play or when I play a track it is very slow by checking the current time playing and yes w/o media volume. so 4.8 is really stable for now on my OP2

will try the 9x for my 6p later. :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Sorry to report that 9X still results in the unadjustable low in call volume.

Flashed vendor, wiped system, dalvik and cache, flashed rom, gapps, Redux 9X, Sony Music 9.1.8.A.1.1 and let 9X installer modify audio_policy.conf and used the ALSA & FluenceHD tweak.prop

Just an update, installed ReduxY then changed build prop entries with the Alsa fluence tweak prop entries in ReduxY tweak prop zip. Just copied and pasted it.

I flashed X and used the Alsa/Fluance cherry-picked prop.

I also modded my mixer_paths.xml to increase in-call volume. I didn't touch anything else, as you said, the audio policy was taken care of by viper (glad since I forgot, lol).

And I AM able to change/adjust the in-call volume, it was just too low at the top volume for my old ears. I like it loud enough to hear when taken away from my ear without turning on speaker in a call- not hear clearly, just loud enough to make out the words.
