Hi guitardedhero! Just a few things!

When I flash ARIES, any version, it won't apply the "tweak.prop" file that's on my SD card. Its placed in the right place. And it won't delete the deep buffer lines in my audio policy.

Also when I disconnect from Bluetooth(and turn it off), and plug in my headset, viper thinks I'm still using Bluetooth. I have to re-enable Bluetooth and turn it off for it to see that I am using the headset.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm afraid the archiving suffers from the same issues plaguing the Lovers of Sound way back. I'm eager to check them out! :fingers-crossed:

:good:

Do you have a Samsung device? I tried to install the apk a while back on my N6 without success. I'd love to get it going. :good:

It seems those with tweakprop issues using the sound mod have successfully installing just the tweakprop.zip after extracting it through the mod. :good:

Best Bluetooth transition results can be experienced by getting in the habit of turning the Bluetooth receiver off before doing anything with the phone. :good:

Me too! :highfive:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
Ok thanks. Yah I will continue using the flashable zip you created, and remembering to manually moving the folders over to the /sdcard/ location

Love the mod

Was running 0.8 with original tweak.prop, just installed 0.8.1 with the alternative tweak.prop and WOW - AMAZING SOUND!

I'm using Bose over ear headphones a slightly modified audiophile 4 profile (added more volume and bass)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Try this one, it's extracting and reading fine for me... :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
So the alternative tweak has more boom than the others overall? I am about to flash 0.8.1..i like the powerful smooth bass.. How does Dolby atmos work as an app with arise. Even if I don't use it all the time with headphones, I still like it for the speakers.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] harpin14789:
For some reason, I am not able to open to your zip.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] See attached. I was asking about using a rom with it's own sound package baked in (Viper/dolby/beats). What's the best way to clean that out so I can replace with your package?

Yes, I have Galaxy S4 snapdragon 600~! Sony music works great! better than original samsung haha.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jcarter3729:
Is there any instructions to install the tweak.prop correctly I've been looking on here and having a hard time to do so. I place the tweak.prop file at the root of my phone then i went into recovery and tried to flash the zip folder but i always get an error. I believe I'm skipping a step or two on how to get it working
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] joetheshmo:
Try root of internal memory so /sdcard/tweak.prop
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jcarter3729:
HOLY CRAP...THE SOUND IS FREAKING AMAZING I'm using the Alternate Tweak.prop file on 8.1

Thanks dude

it does not open on phone or on Mac could you maybe upload the prop file itself?

Unable to get rid of crackling/static

Hey guys! I recently installed the ViPERAtmos 5.5 Sony Beats Edition.zip on my nexus 6p.

However, whatever I play through the speakers I'm experiencing this really annoying crackling/distortion, which I was only able to get rid of by uninstalling the v4a driver. I'm on the latest Dirty Unicorns weekly, with the unicornblood kernel.

If it helps, the steps I took to install were

1) Flash the zip

2) Give storage permissions to v4a in settings

3) Disable musicfx

4) Open the app and install the v4a driver

If anyone could offer advice, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Could i flash ARISE Sounds System Genesis 0.6.1 Preset.zip file to ARISE Genesis 8.1 App?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] thelittlesteevee:
I thought the drivers were installed upon flashing, so your last step is unnecessary...only thing I can think of right now.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D-m-x:
User the newer Version found in this Thread. My 6P is at home so I can't look right now but the Filename was something with eXb in the end.

With 4.8/5.5 I had that crackling too. I clean flashed Dirty unicorns and the newer file and haven't had a problem since.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] heleos:
OP recommends 4.8, 5.x uses a new driver that does not sound as good and causes issues for a lot of people. You could also try Genesis 0.8.1 a few pages back. That is his latest creation and sounds great (and works with 6p/du)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] arcticnights1:
I would love to try Genesis 0.81 actually! Would you mind walking me through the install process? (I assume Genesis would replace viper completely, as in if I install it I won't have to reinstall viper first right?) Thanks a great deal dude, I've been searching for a solution for a couple of days now and am very optimistic about this.

Edit: What is the difference between the two build prop tweaks? Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

This is a rather embarrassing question but I just flashed the ARISE 0.81 zip file and.... how do I confirm that it's installed/that the build.prop tweak has been applied? I've got the v4a app on my app drawer, but how do I differentiate ARISE from the standard v4a?

Sorry :<
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] JaylanPHNX:
There's not really anything visual to differentiate (except maybe the tweak.prop lines appearing in build.prop), but it will sound better, for sure. Hopefully you dirty flashed your ROM before flashing ARISE to clear out the old install.

It's baconnn!

Hmmmm Bacon ?

I now see that you are already on Genesis 0.8.1 which was going to be my suggestion. :good:

To turn Dolby "On" while using the Alternate tweakprop lines simply add the four Dolby lines from the Suggested tweakprop to /system/build.prop in text editor, save changes, and reboot. Removing those four lines, saving changes, and rebooting will turn it back Off. :good:

What is the Dolby installation? It might be a ViPER|Atmos™ or ViPER|DD+™ injection which would take some extra work to fully remove. Does the following file exist?:

/system/lib/libvoAudioFR.so

Absolutely, that is precisely its purpose. To revert, simply reflash 0.8.1. :good:

Never a need to feel embarrassed or sorry, this is new for all of us! :good:

Does this file exist?:

/system/lib/soundfx/libharmancorehtc.so
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] inzaghi75:
Which version of Reduxx could I use for 6P?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] arcticnights1:
Yes libharmancorehtc.so does exist! What exactly is that? Thanks dude. :)

Wait am I supposed to have an ARISE Genesis 8.1 in addition to the viper app?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ReDUX 9Y, I believe. :good:

Yes, v4a is included and libharmancorehtc.so is your new libeffectproxy.so, proxy #1 to be exact. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] arcticnights1:
Argh I may very well be misreading this, but did you mean that I'm supposed to have an ARISE Genesis app? I don't have one... (again, if I'm misreading your reply I'm sorry!)

Also, would you recommend any specific profiles/IRS to start with? Saw a few thrown around in this thread and I'm not sure which to start with. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm sorry, yeah, I still wasn't very clear on answering that specifically. ViPER4Android is the only app that will appear in your App Drawer.

ARISE Sound Systems™ (Auditory Research in Sound Enhancement) is a brand new Android audio team consisting of Ben Feutrill the developer of the long esetablished eXtremeBeats audio mod and myself.

Genesis™, still in testing, is the very first offering by the team. Once ready, which is very close, an official thread will be created and will be the home for all ARISE information and content.

The Audiophile™ Profile, tweaked over the last three or more years by me is a fantastic starting point for users getting familiar with ViPER4Android. It sounds phenomenal and uses very minimal settings allowing the user to test additional settings without being overwhelmed with all the currently activated features found in other profiles.

It is attached below. Go ahead and download and extract the profile zip and then do the following:

Open v4a and tap Menu

UI Setting > Expert

Tap Menu again

Save Effect Profile > Save as a New Effect Profile > Stock

Look through the following directories until you find /ViPER4Android/Profile/Stock:

/data/media/0

/data/media/legacy

/storage/emulated/0

/storage/emulated/legacy

/sdcard

When /ViPER4Android/Profile/Stock is found, go to the extracted Audiophile folder, copy the ViPER4Android folder inside, and paste into the directory where the ViPER4Android folder is that has /Profile/Stock. It will prompt you to merge or overwrite which is precisely what you want to do.

Once merged, reboot the device.

Open v4a and tap Menu

Load Effect Profile > Audiophile 4.0

You should see the addition of four different Audiophile profiles, 4.0 being the current and recommended one but certainly feel free to test and tweak all you want with any profile. Always do what sounds good instead of what you feel you are supposed to do. :good:

Odd situation .

Installed many variety of Viper over the years .

Current testing 8.1 from here .

8.1 sounds good but not brilliant .

Accident when testing best sound so far Viper turned off ??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
V4a has the ability to alter the sound drastically with applied settings. I recommend testing ome different profiles to find one that sounds closest to what you're seeking. Further tweaking to that profile can be done in v4a to tune it to your tastes. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Robot76:
When trying the alternative tweak.prop, with arise 8.1 already installed, do I need to delete build.prop lines, or do I just dirty flash 8.1 again with the new tweak.prop?

I also noticed the suggested tweak.prop has Dolby lines, does the 8.1 add the Dolby lines to build.prop when using the alternative tweak.prop?

I loved the bass for my earphones with the ViPERAtmos_4.8_eXtremeBeats_Aural_Maximizer_Edition

Haven't tested the alternative yet, left earphones in the car [emoji3] can't wait...

Thanks I know all that.

But I was on best profile for me and 8.1 sound good .Improvment came from turning V4A off.

Could be ear overload from all the testing though.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jacobh25:
I've found that this can happen. I have a tendency to keep bumping volume up as the clarity has increased with every build. Take a break and come back to blasting volume. Keep those ears safe. :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] J.E.N.O.V.A.:
Does anybody else noticed that sometimes after hearing a bit that the bass gets too high?

Currently on Arise Genesis 0.8.1
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] haseoxth:
That's a normal thing, everyone will have his/her favorite sound mod. It also happens with this one, as I can see lots people enjoy 0.8.1 most but some may like 0.6 or eXtremeBeats version more. :p

Just take a break with testing and always choose your favorite mod, there is no need to catch up versions or try to be the same as others. ;)

I have 0.8.1 ARIES installed with the alternative tweak.prop.

Do I need to use audiophile profiles to get the actual awesome sound experience or no? Right now I have no audiophile profile
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The cool thing about tweak.prop is that it doesn't just add lines. It will patch existing lines and add only new entries to the end. There is even a code you can out in the front that will remove an entry if it exists. If an entry exists in both build.prop and tweak.prop nothing is done with that entry. :good:

There are a lot of outstanding libraries used and none of the normal libraries used by Android. Sound quality should be exceptional even with v4a off. And v4a profiles with a lot of activated features and settings can likely need a complete redo. :good:

It's certainly recommended to try. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Lover of Sound tweak.prop

my tweak.prop for ARISE Genesis 0.8.1, for those who were seeking it. Rename to tweak.prop in /sdcard or add lines to your existing tweak.prop or directly to build.prop, as suits you. Apologies for the broken zips, they extract and read correctly on my device so not sure what's amiss - something on the upload process maybe? Hope this works.​
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have been running Pure Nexus on my Nexus 6 for a long time. On a previous version of this Rom, I always ran into a problem where my phone would connect to a phone call but I wouldn't be able to hear if it was even ringing or if the other person picked up. Once I reinstalled the Rom to my phone and didn't install Viper my phone behaved correctly for months. Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago. I updated to a newer version of Pure Nexus with a complete clean install. Formatted everything include storage (It was time for a complete clean out). Everything was working perfectly. 3 days ago I installed VIPERAtmos 4.8 eXtremeBeats Aural Maximizer Edition and the problem has shown its ugly head again! This happens intermittently and a reboot seems to fix the problem for a while.

I am sure this has been discussed before and I swear I have searched as many keywords as I could think of to troubleshoot on my own. I hope someone can point me in the right direction!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Good looks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] harpin14789:
I have faced your problem before. The way I fix the problem was to dirty flash the rom which erased the ViperAtmos 4.8 eXAM installation. I suggest that you flash the ARISE .8.1, which works perfectly with Pure nexus for nexus 6.

go to this post: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137/post66687308#post66687308

Download ARISE .8.1

Open the zip take the ARISE suggested tweak prop and extract it to root of sdcard. Then rename that file to tweak.prop

Then dirty flash rom, gapps, custom kernal (if you use one), ARISE .8.1

That should fix all the problems that you've been having.

Hope this helped. Reply with your results.

But when i checked my build.prop to see the change,i found all my old tweak from Sony atmos in it .

Tried many times, seems dirty flash don't work on my device. Have to manually delete the old files.

Hi guitardedhero,

One of the main reasons I liked Viper XHiFi was that it gave me a gain boost, like dolby atmos does. Now that I don't use it (it's not compatible with 6.0.1) is the only way to get that equivalent boost by raising the output gain in the Master Gate (Limiter)?

Does anyone know if I flash the Sony suite will it change anything with arise ? I looked through the Sony suite zip and it has a tweakzip so I didn't flash because I don't want to mess with the awesomeness... I just like a few of those Sony apps :/
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BatCyr:
If you're referring to Sony+Music+9.1.9.A.1.0+Suite it only contains the latest music player and the tweak prop.zip to flash in order to apply your desired tweak.prop.

It shouldn't change anything about your awesomeness, but if you want to make sure, you still have many options (copy your current build.prop in a safe location, rename it and restore it after flashing Sony music suite. Reflash Arise and your tweak.prop after flashing Sony music suite. Copy the content of your build prop on a note and compare it to the one after flashing Sony music suite, etc...)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] *mj13*:
Yes I was referring to that suite. Great recommendations. I appreciate the help! [emoji481]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BatCyr:
Pleasure.

But I may have spoken too quickly! This "sonyeffect.prop" looks everything like a tweak.prop. However, it looks more like an optional tweak.prop dedicated to modify the Sony music player only, with instructions about how to do so to implement the changes to your current tweak.prop.

If you don't extract it and rename it tweak.prop or copy its content onto yours, it should have no effect whatsoever.
