I believe i got it working, Not sure how, Because he extraction process was half done lol. I went in and loaded Audiophile preset and noticed a change right away. Did i miss anything else?

Also, I listen to a lot of rock stuff. Screamo lol, hardcore, metal, pretty much anything heavy, melodic, screaming and i also like passion pit, chvrches stuff. any other profiles i should check out?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Vanojan:
One more question!

What's the difference between ViPERAudio, ViPERAtmos and ViPERDD+ ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Simply flash 4.4 over your phone's current state. Best version yet! :good:

Awesome! I loved the old Passion Pit!

You did everything right for sure! :highfive:

The second post of this thread is new and is reserved exclusively for user provided content. There's a profile there now with more to come as they are shared here and quoted by me in that second post so be sure to check it out periodically. :good:

ViPER|Audio™ = ViPER4Android

ViPER|Atmos™ = ViPER4Android and Dolby Atmos™

ViPER|DD+™ = ViPER4Android and Dolby Digital Plus™

All 4.4 versions handle every scenario of dirty flashing so no wipes are ever necessary when desiring to try different package!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] J.Guido85:
Awesome! Donate sent as well!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That was incredibly generous of you, I really appreciate it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Vanojan:
Which do you suggest me to flash?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Beats™ Edition

Audiophile profile not working what's the deal?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Is the Profile selectable in v4a Load Profile Menu?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gr33nd3vil:
No sir and followed your steps to a T
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Did you save a New Profile named "Stock" and find it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gr33nd3vil:
No I thought I just did the 2 folders as you stated in your guide.. M
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Where did you place the folders?

Save any open v4a tab as a New Profile named "Stock" and search through the v4a directories until you find "Stock" in the Profile folder. That is your working v4a directory and where you will need to merge the two Audiophile™ folders. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] II_DiE_4:
Thanks alot for this sweet package. I got rly tired of trying to find out was audio mod to install.

Can i ask why the removal of XHiFi package? Even tho its old and not supported anymore, i found out that its reconstructive algorithm to be superior to v4a.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The removal is to mostly avoid congestion with all the offered packages and to also create a consistency having a single base.

I am always open to requests and will be more than happy to put together exactly what you want. Just let me know and I'll package it immediately. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sorry man, just now realized you had an attachment with that post. It's now been added to the User Content Area in the second post! Keep 'em coming guys!

adon.d script working OK on 4.4? I dirty flashed a CM13 nightly and had system/prip-app/viper deleted from system, only my data/app/viper survived. Had to re-flash viper|atmos which deletes data/app/viper and again install viper from package manager to "update", I do this to get some IRS working. I understand the reason as to why data/app/viper is deleted when flashing viper|atmos from recovery, but since I peeked at the adon.d script I was pretty sure everything was going to be OK when updating my ROM (everything seems fine in the adon.d script).

PS: I replaced stock viper with material dark viper(that's all I did), names match, so I don't think that's the problem.

Maybe having an "update" on data/app/viper is causing issues? I have to test this further.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
CM's own backup scripts are notorious for deleting /system stuff not found in its rom. You would have to delete backuptool.sh or something and then rezip the rom for ViPER|Atmos™ to survive intact.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SuperSimian:
Cool, Thanks for always helping us users with our vast and always growing database of doubts.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
I know it's a noob question or don't know it was asked previous either, how to set custom permission of a folder and an apk? I'm using es file explorer.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Man, it's honestly a pleasure. It's true and sincere every time you see me say that. I'm learning right along with you guys, the potential for more knowledge never ceases!

Usually, longpressing the folder or file pulls up a context menu for such actions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
In priv app semcMusic.apk shows this permission using es file explorer. Now how do I set the custom permission you mentioned?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I see how that can be confusing.

Thanks for taking me back to Voodoo sound on S1+2... Man I so loved it bad! So this definitely has me intrigued here :cool: Anyways I'm running LP on on Albe95 Lollirom 6.0 on my S4

For audio I run V4S heavily tweaked as expected & with GMMP with EQ slightly tweaked . Everything sounds very gnarly, deep but with a big emphasis on clarity just the way I like it, however I have a feeling I could be missing out on something here. So I feel I should bow to your greater knowledge of this & ask for some suggestion of personal preference from you? They all look quite appealing!

So any idea which I should try first & should I anticipate any problems given my current set up?

Thanks for any help :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] OmarUdave:
no work

I'm in my kernel is enforcing , you must change to permisive
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] whood:
Is RHR-K SRC 1.H ViPERAtmos Edition.zip compatible with KK roms? I will try your 4.4 mod also, saw KK versions. It gave me the best sound compared to v.3.9 (it was the lastest version by then) even without Atmos enabled on CM12.1 but the rom is pretty unstable on my device so i decided to revert back to KK (MIUI7 maybe). Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] binaryfalcon:
So the stock viper zip basically installs viper4android, and nothing else?

What does it actually do? Patch audio config and install the driver?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
Will this work on Note 5 with Android 5.1.1 too?

In the past i always used Sony walkman from Ibanez that's what this SemcMusic is right?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
It works in all kinds of device bro. (I think) but im little sure it works with your device
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My pleasure! My favorite is ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Beats™ Edition

DD+™ package?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960690294

Preinstalled driver, backup script, Enforcing script, and compatible /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so.

It should work for sure.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
In my moto g3 device Sony player is not supported. Yeah I've tried root access but it would not work. Anyway poweramp does my work so I'm not bothered with it.

BTW [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] is a DAC necessary for an awesome sound with this mod ? Usually I'm listening music with over the head headphone. Coz I'm looking for the best possible deal with this amazing mod.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
I have a Lenovo A6000 plus running CM12.1 which has the AudioFX app. My phone had Dolby Digital Plus app on stock rom so I suppose it has Dolby hardware. So which zip should I install? Dolby Atoms or Dolby Digital Plus?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] techinv:
Latest Cata/ElemX along with 4.4 seems to have killed all pops/static. I can use Atmos now, :bliss:. Need to experiment with more music sources, but initial results are really good. Once again, thanks [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I've never had the privilege of trying an external DAC but I imagine it could only help. I think the biggest impact would be headphones with a very high resistance would be pushed adequately by a DAC with an internal amp. :good:

There are so many out there to choose from so it was overwhelming the times I browsed the available hardware. This is a great opportunity for those with experience to chime in and detail their thoughts on the matter as well as the different hardware they've tested!

The biggest difference right now is that Dolby Digital Plus™ requires a Permissive Selinux. If you are stuck with Enforcing then you'd want Dolby Atmos™. They both add similar properties, but I always recommend trying ViPER|Atmos™ first.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Fantastic! Thank you very much for the report! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] binaryfalcon:
What does the enforcing script and backup script do?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
Thanks for your reply. SELinux status on my phone is permissive but I flashed Dolby Digital Plus with Beats. I'll try this for few days and will change to Dolby Atoms later. DD+ sounds awesome as well ?. Congratulations for your work and sorry for being bothersome... :P

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

One more question. What would happen if I installed this on CM11 on my brother's phone?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
Thanks it works.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The Enforcing script simply allows v4a to fully function in Enforcing Selinux as well as Permissive Selinux. The backup script restores every single file in the ViPER package to survive rom updates.

It should work great as long as there is sufficient free /system space available. :good:

Awesome, I'm glad it's working for you!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
Applied [MENTION=1416857]BSD[/MENTION]geek_Jake's fav irs files as mentioned in OP. First dirty flash rom>Uninstalled v4a> flash v4a> extract v4a zip> install apk and saw v4a closed single time. Then checked v4a okay. But still no added irs shown while selecting impulse responses. Please help me.

Another thing, I have to create the legacy v4a later by copying v4a sdcard folder. Is it normal?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Az Biker:
Thanks for your hard work making these packages/enhancements available!

To make sure I understand things correctly: (my kernel is permissive)

Just want to improve the speaker sound (not digging too deeply into the audiophile goodness), I'm good with JUST flashing Atmos 4.4 beats,

To try another V4A package, I can just flash over the previous package,

To remove V4A altogether, I just need to dirty flash my cust Rom (wiping system)

If this is correct, do you have any other reco's?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If you have to create the legacy folder after choosing Expert UI Setting and enabling Convolver then the working v4a directory is likely elsewhere. Save any open v4a tab as a New Profile named "Stock" and search until you find the "Stock" folder inside the Profile folder. When you find it, you've found your working v4a directory and where you will want to merge the IRS files. :good:

My pleasure! The package you mentioned is the clear favorite among others and myself and has all that is currently offered at the moment. All packages can be flashed over each other with no issues and no wipes required. The only stuff I refuse to remove with the install script are the Beats™ files as I do not want HTC users to flash a stock package and boot their device to find a lot of their stock device files have been removed.

This means that if you feel the ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Beats™ Edition is more than you would like to have and decide to try ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Stock, then a System wipe followed by a dirty rom flash is required to get the true Stock package; otherwise, you would end up with the exact same setup as before because of the lingering Beats™ files.

I hope that makes enough sense!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
What happens if I flash dolby atoms over dolby digital plus? Both the mods remain present at the same time or they get replaced?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
Yeah it's strange, whenever I created a new profile name 'Stock', no folder is really there on v4a folder even on sdcard. But yes, sound changes while loading new profile. So there is a v4a I can't recognize where coz searching would not help! [emoji46]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Dolby Digital Plus™ will be deleted and Dolby Atmos™ will be installed. :good:

There are many possible directories:

/data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android

/data/media/0/ViPER4Android

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android

/storage/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android

/mnt/runtime/write/emulated/0/ViPER4Android

/mnt/runtime/write/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android

/sdcard/ViPER4Android

among others I'm sure lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
Lol it's in mnt/runtime/write/emulated/legacy/Viper4android.

Thanks dude, u make my day. Urs support is really an idol of developers. ??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My pleasure, and I really appreciate the kind words! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
I'm so much impatient that I ask a question and without knowing the answers I try the said thing. Lol. :P I tried atoms but the quality was not that good so switched back to dd+, maybe because the hardware has better support for dd+. And I installed the dolby digital plus one on my brother's xperia running cm11. Well it didn't work. The apps installed in different folders in 'priv-app' folder, while in cm11 apps aren't stored in separate folders in priv app in cm11. I tried moving them in priv app folder and setting rw rr permissions, apps were installed then but dolby was force closing so gave up on the idea. Thanks for the awesome mod btw. And really very sorry for these stupid noob questions. It's really good to see such kind developers. Greetings!

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.5 Sony™ Beats™ Edition​

Featuring:

The latest Sony™ Music player

Three Sony™ libraries and effects

Supolicy fix for ViPER4Android in /su/su.d instead of /system/su.d

The Sony™ Music player is just a bonus and is not a prequisite for the Sony™ libraries and effects to activate. These are system-wide just like the Beats™ files. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Noob questions do not exist in this thread. Every question has the same validity. :good:

What Android OS is cm11?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yasiro500:
If I am not mistaken, android 4.4.x
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That explains the issues then. The link below directs to my AndroidFileHost folder containing JB & KK builds of all packages. :good:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48267
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sTIMulat3:
On my Nexus 7 2013 I get a weird sound that sounds kind of like the "GSM BUZZ" throughout any audio I play.

It happens for any package with Atmos, or if I have DDC, Spectrum Extension, or Headphone Surround+ turned on.

I think it might be a hardware issue, since I have had other issues with the audio jack in the past, so I'm gonna try to get replacement parts anyway.

I'm not completely sure though.

Thanks so much for making this mod, because when it works it sounds amazing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Do these Sony files have a noticeable impact, unlike the Huawei in which most of us couldn't tell?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] provolinoo:
Great :)

I'm going to flash it on CM13, do I need SELinux in permissive mode or is it not necessary?

Thanks man ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I would try a stock kernel or try different governor presets in a kernel manager app.

It sounded great until I borked my test build lol! It wasn't much but definitely seemed to be cleaner in the highs. Think of achieving a greater clarity without added hiss. Maybe some others can expound on it if they had good results. I built it on my way to a job and it sounded great omw back in my van setup. Then I tried some more supolicy stuff and haven't had a chance to test again lol! I'm about to try a new test build to see if it comes back. :fingers-crossed:

I did put together a ViPER|Audio™ with just the Sony™ stuff, after having to take a break from repairing the test build I borked.

While sharing the latest Sony™ Music with you guys the last few days, the idea of including the app in a Sony™ Edition in the ViPER|Audio™ family seemed to be a really cool and logical next step for the evolution of ViPER|Audio™. Of course, just the music player wouldn't be enough to call it a Sony™ Edition, it would need libraries and effects to go with it that would process through all music players.

ViPER|Audio™ 4.4 Sony™ Edition​

Featuring:

ViPER|Audio™ 4.4 Stock base

The latest Sony™ Music player

Three Sony™ libraries and effects
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're most welcome! :good:

Permissive is likely needed as SuperSU is responsible for the Enforcing supolicy script to execute. If it doesn't work out of the box on cm13 you'll need to switch to Permissive or install SuperSU. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sTIMulat3:
I just realized that it might not be related to Beats, as it only happens with certain settings in ViPER
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'd still check your kernel settings, through an all like Kernel Adiutor, for example. [MENTION=4371701]luigidk[/MENTION] has experimented with kernel settings quite a bit so maybe he can suggest some specific adjustments. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D_black84:
i'm on darkobas, superSU 2.66, permissive . viperatmos 4.4 doesn't survive flash, have to reflash it everytime i update the ROM. By the way, excellent work with this mod. sound quality is top notch
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks for the feedback! Some roms, for clean install purposes, will wipe system during the flash. You might ask your dev about accommodating /system/addon.d.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Semcmusic/sony music player always force closes everytime i play music
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Are other players working properly?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
Dolby Digital Plus works better for me. How can I flash this music player with Dolby Digital Plus? I really like Sony Music player.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Yap. except that sony player.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Still working on all the kinks but I'll get you something that should work. :good:

Me too now, I've been testing other stuff like crazy and just checked. It worked fine earlier but that was over 50 reboots ago lol! Try moving the whole folder to your download folder, reboot, move folder back into /system/priv-app, set permissions, and reboot again. See if that fixes it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:

Lol. 50 reboots you've been before got it working. Thats too much. Any way i will try it. Hope it works. And i'll report it back
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No, no! I mean over 50 reboots until I opened Sony™ Music and found the same FC. It was working earlier when i first got everything working on Permissive. I've been working on the scripts and libraries all day. :eek:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
I tried to remove and then move back again the semc folder but still no luck. When i played the 1st music it seems to be okay but when i tick on next icon then it FC again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yeah, I'm about at my wit's end with this Sony™ stuff for the day lol! I need to just let everything settle and just let you guys enjoy the six 4.4 packages instead of feeling compelled to update on a daily basis. It just seemed like such an easy task at first lol! I appreciate your feedback man, I recommend going back to one of the official packages or just delete Sony Music if everything else works perfectly. Don't worry though, I'm not giving up, just going to take my time and test vigorously before posting anymore Sony™ builds.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
I remember you recommending the USB Audio Player, that player won't break Android Pay will it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
This amost sounds like a joke as some might say the asking price is enough to break Android Pay; rest assured, Android Pay will be just fine with the /data installation of USB Audio Player Pro. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
Thank you. Just wanted to be careful. It had a warning about system modification during install.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BryanByteZ:
Man really thanks for this hard work for me this the best sound mod sincr GB.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're going to love that player, the technology is just incredible.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it! More to come!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
I just want to report that I tested version 4.5 and I could not get the drivers to install. I fasted back to version 4.4.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for the report! The supolicy changes tested in 4.5 have been scrapped.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yyz71:
OK so installed Sony 4.4 no issues.. Cuz of my crack flashing ? So I installed 4.5 again no issues so my process was wipe dalvik and cache then flashed 4.5 Sony fc on opening I just wiped the data so i was fine.. Sounding sweet and drivers installed

Awesome job brother keep it up ??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Awesome, thanks for the kind words man! I was wondering if the Sony™ Music inclusion might have caused the day-long headache. The app consistently works fine without the added Sony™ libraries so there must be something missing lbrary-wise, kind of like an all or nothing type thing. My wife went out of state today and won't be back until Monday night so there's plenty of time to get a lot of testing done on my end! :good:

So how do you like the sound coming from 4.4? Can you tell a difference? Is the current 4.5 build posted worth pursuing in its current state?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yyz71:
I would definitely stick with the 4.5 build crisp and clean. I'm running 6.0.1 Nexus 5 so I basically flash a lot things on this bad boy. And yeah I can tell the difference I'm a drummer and I play by ear so yes there a noticeable difference between the 2 4.4 - 4.5
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Perfect, I should have a better build tomorrow. I appreciate the feedback man!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yyz71:
Anytime brother I'm here to help ya out ??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I just reread your post and just now noticed wiping data fixed the FC for you. I did the same and Sony Music™ player is working fine now! I could add the /data removal into the installation but that might be annoying to some, I'm guessing. Great find man! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] yyz71:
You know that always the case when you wipe the data on certain apps..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
Wouldn't it be easier to make a standalone Sony Music zip with libraries instead of including it in the packages? That would have been easier for me to flash DD+ package and then Sony Music. Would save a lot of your work too.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
[MENTION=5955231]white_Shadoww[/MENTION] bro just view original on quoted message and u will see the semcmusic.zip. that is the latest sony player

P.S. i dont know if thats what you mean but try to have a look
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] it's an old ghost again coming out of coffin! Flashed viper atmos beats 4.4 by wiping system-cache but no v4a app only Dolby atmos in the drawer. But it's there in /system. Yeah I deleted viper /data folder before flashing but still no luck!
