The only thing it could possibly be is the apk itself as the ones used here have been themed. Try the official apk found in the zip below. I recommend copying it over the apk in /system/priv-app, renaming it to the name of the folder just like the previous apk, setting permissions to 0644, and rebooting. The reason for using the previous apk name is so the backup script will still work.

4.0.2CT is ViPER|Atmos™ and can be flashed over your phone's current state.

Try unchecking Vender in TWRP Mount, my install script will mount Vendor before installing.

Damn, everything is looking as it should, something somewhere is overriding the audio_effects.conf after a full reboot.

Is there a vendor folder outside of /system that has that file in its etc folder?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
One other thing you can try is copying that driver file into:

/system/vendor/lib/soundfx

and set permissions to 0644 before rebooting

This may be the trick and will be in 4.0.3CT if it works.

I've got a good feeling! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ugitoblo:
Thank you very much for your amazing Soundmod. I've tried so many before but now one is so perfect like this one. on my Sony Z3 D6603!!!

Really nice work :good::good::good:

Stay tuned :victory::victory::D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Syoenth:
Well, I just flashed it, did the wipes and when I open Dolby Atmos it get stuck on the Dolby Atmos screen, it doesn't load, also the v4a main app doesn't load, the first zip you gave me it loaded, but with this don't load :(

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.0.3CT Beats™ Huawei™ Edition​

4.0.3CT, the third update in our Compatibility Test of the testing phase includes the addition of all libraries in /system/vendor/lib in case some devices are using this location by default. Thank you so much guys, we are making progress! Great job!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tycobb:
Yes there is vendor folder outside of /system.... But is same as in /system
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much, I'm thrilled you're enjoying it as much as I am!

I'll investigate a little more after this testing phase.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

Hi sir its quite a bit long time. Im running in viperatmos beats huawei v4.0 but i wanna join and try this CT in my device. Please tell me what to do. Thanks and great work and thread.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Flash away, friend!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tycobb:
where shoud I send You?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
Same results. I did not flash 4.0.3CT, just copied the driver into Vendor location per our request. I rebooted the phone and when I went into Viper it asked to install the driver again. I selected to install the driver again and rebooted the phone and now I am getting the system is not responding do you want to wait or stop the process which just goes into a bootloop I had to pull the battery a few times to get it to come back to life. I then performed a hot reboot and then it did not ask for driver install even though I did not install it again after the last reboot. I will be out of pocket for the rest of the night as I will be bowling.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Syoenth:
the problem I have here is I have the stock rom, I must reinstall all over and then root, install busybox , then the recovery and then install v4a
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rockyp49:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] So i flashed Viper package 4.0 only on my samsung tab S2 but still v4a is stuck in driver bootloop. How can i free up the 50 mb space in my system? To get it installed
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] CNDow:
wipe system, cache, D cache, unmount system, cannot unmount vender in TWRP flashed ROM, GAapps, 4.0.3, Same results, still permissive.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Did you set permissions?

Have you tried 4.0.3CT?

Sorry, I know I've asked before but, phone/rom?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
How much space shows to be available in /system? To free up space I recommend deleting the Google Editor apps from /system/app.

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.0.4CT Beats™ Huawei™ Edition​

4.0.4CT is the fourth update in our Compatibility Test of this testing phase and removes the themed v4a apk, using the official v4a apk to see if various issues were caused soley by the themed v4a apk's. Thanks to [MENTION=278618]rogerinnyc[/MENTION]'s persistence I'm what seemingly seemed trivial at the time, we now know more than just cosmetics is affected by the use of the themed v4a apk's. Great job man, I'm so glad I didn't dismiss your second inquiry into this! 4.0.4CT also completes the backup script for the use of the official apk as well as the library files in /system/vendor/lib. Use [MENTION=278618]rogerinnyc[/MENTION] as an example of not refraining from asking or requesting something you might seem as irrelevant at the time. There is only one zip of this build, obviously.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
[MENTION=3875175]guitarte[/MENTION]dhero CT V4.0.3 is fully functional with my samsung J7 sir. Previously im on viper|atmos beats huawei v4.0 and still as of now no issue .
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] thelittlesteevee:
Lol, refraining from flashing anything as you're pumping out build after build! :p
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Awesome, thank you for the report!

4.0.4CT is now up and I urge those still having issues, especially driver issues, to flash it over your phone's current state and report back. Thanks guys!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
This is how I perform a testing phase, sorry lol! I have enough confirmation from users with previous success, I need users having issues to have success before we have 4.1. Previous users success is important because I don't want to break anything that worked for them, but that has not been an issue thankfully. If everything is great for you now, simply wait for 4.1. I appreciate every user reporting their feedback, I believe we're close!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Dolby Atmos™ is included in all ViPER|Atmos™ packages.

Dolby Atmos™ is not included in ViPER|Audio™ packages.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] CNDow:
I'm still having the same issue on 4.0.4
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] rimsilva:
Hi,

Finally I got your MOD installed on my G4.

But only after a clean installion of the Genisys 3.6 ROM, followed by a reboot to recovery and:

Wiped dalvik cache and cache

Mount system

Flash 4.0 3CT zip

Reboot system

I don't know what was causing the problems, maybe root, busybox or xposed. Not 100% sure...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What issue exactly? I know you're on N6p PureNexus, have you had a successful installation on any version? Have you asked the guys on the 6p PureNexus thread? It's crazy the difficulties you've had with so many over there having success.

Awesome, thanks for the report! Is this your first successful installation? I'd like to know your success rate, or lack thereof, on previous versions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] rimsilva:
Yes, but it was due to fresh install and MOD flash before booting the ROM.

Moments before I tried to flash the MOD with no luck.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] CNDow:
Always asking for driver updates & i have 2 gigs in system

I had the version working that was floating around the purenexus forum with the renaming of two files I'm sorry I can't seem to find right now.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] olivares.leody:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] here is what i did

1. clean install my ROM+Gapps then i reboot

2. enabled CM root

3. boot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache

4. Flash 4.0.4 CT viper atmos

5. Reboot

I still get FC on Dolby Atmos. Viper is doing fine. I am attaching a cat log so that you can see if there is something wrong with phone.

What's the CT version? I only just got ver 4 working
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
CT stands for Compatibility Test, we are in a testing phase for compatibility across all devices.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] adm1jtg:
OK so if I am running and happy on n6 on ver 4 no need to look farther a it's compatibility not new features your trying ATM.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ViRb3:
I don't know if you figured this out, but devices such as the Nexus 5X/6P have the 'vendor' partition symlinked in /system (so the two folders the person you quoted talked about are indeed

exactly

the same).

P.S.: being extremely interested in a working & stable system-less sound mod, feel free to use me for any N5X testing you may require!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Right, no doubt. I was asking about /system/vendor as the lib folder there didn't have the same libraries that that /system/lib had and I was wondering if that was causing the driver issue.

I would love a 5x tester for sure!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ViRb3:
I checked the XTREMEMusic zip file (no hate) and it places some of the libs you also use in /vendor/lib but not all of them. Would you like a list or zip of all libs that the N5X has in /vendor/lib when stock?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rockyp49:
Log 4: I have installed Viper atmos 4.04 CT but can't escape the driver installation hell of v4a and Dolby crashing. I uninstalled soundalive and Adapt sound as well, flashed the permissive zip you had attached a few post back. No matter how hard I try I just can't get this mod to work, I am attaching the audio effects.conf and audio policy.conf [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] if you do get time, please have a look and let me know if anything can be done about it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No need, I've got some XM zips still. I've never had to add the files to /system/vendor/lib before, I'm just scratching my head trying to figure out why a soft boot allows the driver to work for that particular user but a full boot prompts for driver install like something is overriding either the audio_effects.conf files or simply doesn't see the driver. I was so hoping that the device was defaulting to /system/vendor/lib but it's obviously not as placing the driver there made no difference.

Your file is good and I just noticed that permissive_fix.zip deletes the entire /system/su.d folder before installing the script. Not good if you have other files there. /system/su.d has not been used during this testing phase but users that have other stuff there and use that zip all they will have there afterwards is the permissive script. The one below does not do that.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rockyp49:
So should i repeat the same steps now

1 wipe system and dirty flash rom

2 custom recovery and root

3 flash permissive zip and reboot

4 delete soundalive and adapt sound , reboot

5 flash viper- atmos 4.04 CT reboot

Is that correct? [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], 4.02CT with your audiophile working fine than before here with my note 4 rom sixperience v5. Even after an interruption of a notification sound in driver status Processing is Yes and the sound is really really amazing now:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:.

1-wipe system, cache and dalvik

2-flash rom sixperience v5

3-flash kernel, prime kernel v3

4-flash your mod

5-wipe cache and dalvik

6-reboot phone

7-open v4a and load your audiophile

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.0.5CT Beats™ Huawei™​

Geez, where do I begin... I'm terribly sorry guys, somewhere early in testing (4.0.2CT or before) I made some big mistakes and oversights in the post install script affecting Nexus 6p, Nexus 5x, and HTC devices. Through all the cutting, copying, and pasting I had critical errors like having VENDOR_CONFIG looking for libraries and effects but only offered to CONFIG_FILE and some other stuff. I feel awful sending a lot of you on a wild goose chase. I took some time away and came back to look at every single digit everywhere and found critical errors all over. The busiest portion of the testing phase today was performed while driving around doing service calls (don't do that) and I just forced myself to produce in an environment not conducive to script writing.

4.0.5CT is the fifth update in the Compatibility Test of this testing phase. I started with the 4.0.2CT base and am using the official v4a apk instead. I went ahead and put the permissive script in /system/su.d to hopefully make it easier for you guys as this testing phase requires Permissive while I achieve a satisfactory compatibility. All scripts are fixed and unnecessary lines in the backup script are now uncommented. After wiping System and flashing 4.0.4CT v4a didn't work and I noticed these three files were still there:

/system/xbin/seinfo

/system/xbin/sepolicy-inject

/system/xbin/sesearch

No other files from 4.0 and below were there and I don't know why they were. If it was the backup script then all the other files should have been found as well but they were not. Another oversight by me as I simply could not test while working. I barely had the time to read your reports and mess up the whole post install script haha (I know, not funny...).

This is what I need you guys to do before flashing 4.0.5CT just in case:

Delete the following if found:

/system/addon.d/23-v4adap.sh

/system/etc/init.d/50viper

/system/su.d/50viper.sh

/system/xbin/seinfo

/system/xbin/sepolicy-inject

/system/xbin/sesearch

Reboot and confirm those files no longer exist.

Boot to recovery

Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache

Install > ViPER|Atmos™ 4.0.5CT

Reboot

Again, I sincerely apologize for conducting this while I thought I could multitask it with today's work schedule. Please let me know how it goes . Thanks to all of you for bearing with me through all this.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I really appreciate you looking for ways to help me out. After rereading through the posts trying to get back in support mode I can see how one might read my two replies and have a sense that I was shrugging you off. That is absolutely not the case and feedback, tips, and ideas by all of you are always considered by me. Thanks again and I hope you will be my 5x tester. :good:

I'm sorry man, I share your frustration as I truly wanted to get you running today. If you feel like trying again in the future, I'll be here. Just give me a shout and I will do everything I can to get you where you want to be.

Have you disabled AudioFX, DSPManager, MusicFx, or any other stock effects app?

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

Look for anything resembling an effects app besides v4a and Dolby™.

I

These keep coming back after reboot :

/system/xbin/seinfo

/system/xbin/sepolicy-inject

/system/xbin/sesearch

Tried uninstalling v4a and deleting those, and they still come back. I have no init.d directory. Haven't tried installing 4.05 yet. 6P.

I notice those 3 files are also in su/xbin_bind

PS: I just noticed v4a want Uninstaller using Titanium. I'll look for comments tomorrow before trying 4.05
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I just installed 4.0.5CT and they are not in either place. I performed a factory reset just a bit ago so I don't know if that helps. Did you delete /system/addon.d/23-v4adap.sh? Did you delete those from both folders and they reappeared in both after a reboot?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], I'm a Sprint HTC One M9 user with the leaked 6.0 firmware and ViperOneM9 4.2.0. I just started testing with this Android 6.0 setup today and I had been using ViperAtmos on my Android 5.x setup from your v3.8 through 4.0 and ViperAudio / XTREMEMusic for ages before.

I have tried every instruction thus far: clean flashes, even going as far as to wipe /data in case there was something residual causing issues; with, or without /system mounted in TWRP; I've tried removing the files suggested in your 4.0.5CT post, I've tried renaming the htc audio conf, I've tried manually adding the files and setting every perm myself. Every possible combination suggested since 3.8 I've tried over the course of today and yesterday, trying to get this running and get my device sounding like it should. I spent probably 10 of 36 waking hours waiting for Optimizing Apps...

Every time, it will install fine and the batch will look like it succeeded. audio_effects.conf is being overwritten, its modified date changes from stock and it includes the v4a lines upon closer inspection. I always clear /cache and dalvik-cache last before rebooting (EDIT: I have also tried just dirty flashing XM, ViperAudio, ViperAtmos or a combination of those with no wipes, as suggested earlier. No difference), so it will take its time Optimizing Apps... and as soon as it gets to Starting Apps and launching the System UI, the System UI (yes, com.android.systemui) FCs and continues looping FCing ad infinitum. It will occasionally get as far as showing a hint of wallpaper before it blinks back to the FC dialog.

This has happened with: XTREMEMusic 7.0.3, to my great disappointment; ViPERAtmos 3.8 and every version since, with or without Beats Huawei AND ViperAudio with or without Beats Huawei. I have discovered also that manually moving the APK and its folder into /system/priv-app does not seem to work. I have a partial solution: with the htc audio_effects.conf renamed, I am able to install the original APK or the Material builds normally, into /data, then convert them to a system app with Titanium Backup, reboot, and I am able to install drivers. (This ROM does have selinux Permissive built into init.d. if that's relevant.) I had to go hunt down the Profiles folder and copy my own audiophile profile in, and after this I have Viper4Android, alone. It's definitely missing major clarity, dynamics and volume compared to my previous setup, which was ViperAtmos Beats Huawei installed over XTREMEMusic. I had returned after claiming this little victory to find your CT builds, each of which I have tried with the same issue including 4.0.5CT with the suggested files removed. I am at a loss here. Honestly not expecting support for what may be a totally unique device/environment issue, but I am hoping this rambling post helps.

Cheers.

Kyle
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Great feedback there, I appreciate it. I'm having my own issues and it seems to be the removal of the additional libraries in /system/lib/soundfx I've had since version 1.0 as they were necessary for me at the very beginning. Right now I'm slowly adding them back one by one to find the one that does it and then remove the others to see if that one alone is needed. I'll post what I find. Thanks again.

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.0.6CT Beats™ Huawei™​

4.0.6CT is the sixth update in this Compatibility Test of this testing phase and adds /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so which finally got my processing back (I share your pain). The removal of these original libraries seemed to help greatly on other devices but others, including mine, were negatively impacted by this removal. I'm thrilled that only one library was needed for me so the chances are great that this will help everybody. I also added that file back to the backup script. In the install script, I added removal lines for the three supolicy files in xbin to ensure they're gone for good. I know many of you are frustrated but this is what a testing phase is all about. You guys have been wonderful during this time and I cannot thank you all enough. You all are my go to testers, there's no way I could do this in the Android Software Development. Soon, we will have a painless and seamless package that will be worth all the struggle and frustration. Our hard work will pay off, I'm dedicated to it through and through. Please let me know how 4.0.6CT performs for you if you're willing. Thanks again guys!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
I've just recovered from my last failed install and made double sure all the files mentioned are NOT present on my system - of note, init.d is in /system/etc for me, not sure if the path is actually different for you or just as written in your post. As my ROM has permissive selinux baked into init.d already I'll be removing the su.d script before I flash, I'll report back soon with results.

RESULTS: Per your suggestion in the 4.0.5CT post I wiped /cache and dalvik-cache FIRST, then installed 4.0.6CT, minus su.d, over my (double-checked stock) setup. The batch appeared to install fine and it rebooted and started Optimizing apps... got to 167/167, Starting Apps... and now we're back in Unfortunately, System UI has stopped hell.

Cheers...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chrisram88:
Sorry for my ignorance as I have lost track of this thread since it's moving too fast. I'm still. On 3.x, can I flash this on my n6 running latest Pure nexus?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
Ok so I followed your request and deleted all the files, rebooted and verified the files did not return. Booted into recovery, cleared cache and dalvick-cache and installed 4.0.5ct. After phone booted back up I was not asked to install the drivers. V4a is processing as it should and Atmon Dolby is working as well. I will test your last test version tomorrow. You nailed it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much for catching my typo, I've edited that post. I'm looking forward to your feedback. This should be a greatly improved version compatibility wise as I've ripped stuff out, out back bare minimum, and fixed scripts. One of my goals in this testing phase is for HTC users to not have to do anything extra like removing HTC_audio_effects.conf. I'm going to try to stay awake for your report. I've been working on this testing phase for 14+ hours straight. :eek:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
40 waking hours into this. I want to keep trying but I might have to return after a period of sleep. Good fortune and thanks for your hard work guitardedhero.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Did any previous version not do that for you?

Boot to recovery

Mount > System

Advanced > File Manager

Navigate to the file(s) you HTC guys usually rename and change the name(s).

Reboot

If all is well, it's an audio_effect.conf error on my part. I never received an answer as to what files you guys rename. In the script I guessed it would be:

/system/etc/htc_audio_effects.conf

/system/vendor/etc/htc_audio_effects.so

I recommend 4.0 in the OP if you haven't had any issues. 4.0.6CT is the only Compatibility Test version I would flash if you want to test your patience lol. It'll likely work, it finally works for me and I think we have similar setups.

Finally, a ray of sunshine! If 4.0.6CT doesn't work for you, you'll likely hear my scream from here lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
I haven't installed 4.0.6 yet, but I want to add that my init.d folder is not in the system folder, it is inside the etc folder. Do I have clear cache again before I flash 4.0.6?
