Yes, it's a separate mountable partition in TWRP. I like the way your thinking. I will try a clean install tomorrow and I think your very close.

I added to the install script what I believe will mount Vendor for you before flashing the files in 2.10.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|Audio™ & ViPER|Atmos™ 2.10

Universal​

Thanks for hanging in there with me through all the changes and testing requests. I also just noticed the recent ViPER|Atmos™ builds were missing the two Atmos™ libs. This has now been fixed.

2.10 should be able to mount Vendor in TWRP for those applicable devices providing a proper driver installation along with everything else. I went over each zip so these should be the most error free and reliable zips yet. These will be posted in OP once these are confirmed working on Nexus 6 and Nexus 5x/6p and similar devices.

Thanks again guys and I anticipate your feedback on 2.10.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Annunneo:
Wow I'm still on 2.5 atmos with the audiophile profile loaded and DAMN I've never heard such clarity with my phone yet. I just ticked I think it was surround sound in viper and WOW even better, so I saved it as tweaked profile. The Dolby atmos works flawless as well. Amazing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Golf c:
Your the master, 2.9 worked by mounting vendor, system, data and cache before I flashed the zip. The vendor partition seems to be a mirror to the vendor folder in the system. Whatever happens to the vendor partition, changes the system/vendor folder. What's different in 2.10?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
Why r there 2 files with the same name but different sizes?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Golf c:
2.10 doesn't work without mounting the partitions in TWRP.

I have viper installed on my 6p but it won't stick can I flash the new 2.10 atom zip over it or do I have to Reflash rom as well?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Golf c:
Mount system, vendor, cache and data, then flash the zip. Worked for me.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Dirty flash will likely work. Use 3.0 to guarantee you are using the latest 2.10 version I was maniacally throwing out towards the end last night.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] blueren:
I'd like to take a plunge at this on the n6p. Basically flashing this zip will do , correct? I'm currently on cataclysm. Also, is busybox a prerequisite?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Not sure, I know root is required for it to work in Enforcing. Be sure to mount Vendor in TWRP before flashing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Annunneo:
Are you supposed to be prompted for superuser rights after you start V4a? Because I haven't and all is working fine and I also didn't mount storage flashing the latest Atmos version, atmos is working too.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Golf c:
Nope, not with this install. Your ready to go, right out of the gate. Play Music!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No, from the very start ViPER|Audio™ and ViPER|Atmos™ are packaged to be the most seamless v4a installation available anywhere. Sounds like the flash worked as intended!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
I don't believe BusyBox is needed for V4A. I had it already installed though - but that was because some other apps require it (e.g.: kernel aduitor) I'd install w/o busybox and report back here!

NOTE: one thing great about your 6P - is - just try some things, with all the support from the great members of XDA - and all the posted help - you really can't muck up your device too bad - and you can always go back to zero and start over. So give it a shot w/o BusyBox and I'm sure you'll be fine.

I was only able to get the Dolby Atmos working. Viper could never find/install the driver, despite being given permission to. I even tried flashing SELinux rules, nothing stuck.

AudioFX will need to be removed, not just disabled, to get Atmos to work

I flashed xtreme music but it was causing some serious issues with v4a. After i flashed it I got the superuser prompt for v4a and the driver installation popup but whenever I tried to select the effect strength v4a would freeze and I'd have to force close it. After uninstalling xtreme music all went back to normal and I didn't get the superuser prompt. Very strange.

Just the same result for me too. Atmos no longer working with 3.0 update. I did a dirty flash with a cache wipe before rebooting. VS985, LG G3 CM13 nightlies. 777 Kernel.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I need to see what is unique in cm13 that is causing this for you guys. If you could provide a link to a good cm13 zip to inspect that'd be great.

I'm using a cm13 based ROM and all is fine for me.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chrisram88:
Flashed atmos/v4a 3.0 and all is well. Only problem is processing on driver status stays on yes no matter if it's playing or not. In order for me to know if it's working is if I change profiles.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Good to know, should be much easier to find the denominator between the two reports then.

I noticed that too, but ever since 2.0 or before it seems. It could be a side effect of Dolby Atmos™ processing as well. I usually always test the ViPER|Atmos™ version as the chance for errors is greater so that might explain its persistence.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chrisram88:
It's really not a big issue. Once you know all players used are working, you rarely need to check again. Great job on this mod btw.

Copy the file in the attached zip over original or back up original file first, set permissions, and reboot.

No idea, not familiar with that but if it's all on a zip than just dirty flash it if you have any problems flashing this mod to get back to where you were.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
So sorry guys, I was adding and pulling all kinds of stuff and thought I had the versatility I was seeking. I see the problem and propose one of two solutions that I want your input on:

Option 1:

Delete /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf from non 5x/6p devices during install.

Option 2:

Delete /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf from 5x/6p devices during install.

It seems I am still having trouble finding a way to patch all three audio_effects.conf's including /system/etc/audio_effects.conf which all devices have.

I think it would be better to delete /vendor/etc/audio_effects over option 1 personally, but I value all of your input so I want you to have a say as well.

This will be smooth, versatile change until I find something else. I might just throw the Beats™ files in there too, I'm about to test the combo in my service van but sounds pretty amazing so far.

I rather have it working for the majority, rather than the minority. I have ways to work around the vendor folder quite easily.

3.2 removes the script lines responsible for the removal of the Deep Buffer paragraph from /system/etc/audio_policy.conf which has been in every ViPER|Audio™ and ViPER|Atmos™ package from the very start.

Installation question...

I have been not having any luck with installing either V4A (won't install the drivers) or Dolby Atmos (force closes every time) on my Nexus 5X running the latest Marshmallow (6.0.1). I downloaded each of those zips from their respective original sites and flashed separately each after clean stock ROM installs on a rooted phone with TWRP. They are both uninstalled now.

Sorry about the noob-ish question, but I am a bit confused about this thread. It is just discussing profiles for the already installed versions of V4A and Atmos? Or is it offering a package to install these apps?? If so, I'm not clear on the difference between your zip files:

File Type: zip	ViPER|Atmos™ 3.0 Audiophile™ Dark.zip - [Click for QR Code] (14.83 MB, 650 views)

File Type: zip	ViPER|Atmos™ 3.0 Audiophile™ Light.zip - [Click for QR Code] (14.83 MB, 158 views)

File Type: zip	ViPER|Audio™ 3.0 Audiophile™ Dark.zip - [Click for QR Code] (11.99 MB, 392 views)

File Type: zip	ViPER|Audio™ 3.0 Audiophile™ Light.zip - [Click for QR Code] (11.99 MB, 98 views)

In your install instructions you say "Install > ViPER|Audio™ OR ViPER|Atmos™", whereas these above files seem to include both, not either/or.

Having had no luck so far and reinstalling system twice, I just want to be sure of my next attempt.

Thanks for your work and your time!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Blackfyre:
Same issue I mentioned before. Processing = Yes, but the moment I play an audio file (first 2 seconds you can hear the difference), processing switches to off and V4A stops working.

When I exit the music player processing goes back to working, then turns off again when I play music.

Note 2 - N7105 running CM12.1 (Android 5.1.1).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Lol..I don't even know which version to try now
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're certainly not alone, the amount of updates, the number of different packages, and all the different terms has made clarity extremely hard to obtain.

First, Audiophile™ in any package refers to that v4a profile being available to select after installing whatever zip it is packaged with. All packages will include the Audiophile™ profile so I will not be adding that to any names from here on.

ViPER|Audio™ is the standard ViPER4Android installation for this thread.

ViPER|Atmos™ is ViPER|Audio™ with the addition of Dolby Atmos™.

The latest 3.1 and 3.2 zips contain the addition of Beats™ courtesy of [MENTION=5627933]androidexpert35[/MENTION] and is my personal choice and the setup I run. I am using ViPER|Atmos™ 3.2 Beats™ Edition right now.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Thanks for narrowing it down. I think I'll take the dark edition of what you're using. How did the Apollo with viper turn out?

The beats edition has the presets like Xtreme or the sound?

However, I am having the same driver issue as ever! V4A hangs on attempting any driver update, driver does not load and V4A does not function.

I thought the driver was somehow preloaded in this package. No?

There seems to be no successful way to get this working on a fresh, stock ROM, rooted Nexus 5X with 6.0.1

And to delete it I have to do another system wipe...
