ViPERAtmos 4.4 Beats Edition running flawlessly (alongside stock HTC Boomsound/Dolby!) and doesn't sound significantly different with the Huawei files removed as far as I can tell. Here's my working setup:

ViPERAtmos 4.4 Dark Beats Edition (Permissive)

Only differences to 4.4 are replacing default V4A with Dark Material version and removing su.d script for use with an outside solution for Permissive Selinux.

I've also adjusted my Lover of Sound profiles for use with Atmos, which adds a noticeable amount of volume even Flat with no settings enabled (I use Flat with Dialogue Enhancer on.) I haven't noticed any pops or cracks with this setup using the Ondemand CPU governor.

Sonophilos (Lover of Sound) Profiles

Lock Effect Mode - Headset (so Speakers get all ViPER options)

UI Setting - Moderate (so you can see all these settings)

Headphones:

PlaybackAGC - Enabled, Moderate

ViPER-DDC - Enabled, audio-technica ATH-M50 (your headset here)

Spectrum Expansion - 0.5

FiREqualizer - (0.0, -0.6, -1.2, -1.8, -2.4, -3.0, -2.1, -1.3, -0.6, 0.0)

Convolver disabled, it's a major battery drain

Field Surround disabled, it's only really helpful on larger speakers

Headphone Surround + Enabled, Level 1

ViPER Bass - 40Hz, 8.0Db Bass Boost

ViPER Clarity - 8.0Db Clarity

Cure Tech+ Enabled, Moderate

Output Gain (-3.0Db)

Speakers:

PlaybackAGC - Enabled, Moderate

ViPER-DDC - disabled

Spectrum Expansion - 0.5

FiREqualizer - (0.0, -0.6, -1.2, -1.8, -2.4, -3.0, -2.1, -1.3, -0.6, 0.0)

Convolver disabled, it's a major battery drain

Field Surround disabled, it's only really helpful on larger speakers

Headphone Surround + disabled

ViPER Bass - 40Hz, 8.0Db Bass Boost

ViPER Clarity - 8.0Db Clarity

Cure Tech+ disabled

Output Gain (-3.0Db)

The goal here is that no peak should be higher in v4a than +5Db (the lowest Bass and crispest treble) and then let Atmos give its default boost on Flat (I don't use Volume Leveler or Surround).

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I flashed this on a bone stock google image, but the super quality driver did not take. I still had to open v4a and install the driver. Anything you can think of that would cause this?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sachin.soman:
I tried all the URLs they are basically redirected to google play music page.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My biggest suspicion is that the driver included is not always the Super Quality driver that v4a would install on a particular device. Samsung seems to be the most incompatible, as far as v4a being satisfied with the driver installed by ViPER. If you chose Super Quality through v4a and all is good now, I'd love to take a look at it to see which one v4a decided to install for your device. If it's different, then I'll be able to simply make another package available for those that need that particular driver. What device? Thanks for your input and it's great to see you pop in and participate!

Edit*

The file in which I'm interested is:

/system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You mean the Google Play Music Home page?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I just checked and the links work perfectly opening with either Google Play Music or Chrome.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] buckmarble:
I'm on shamu. When I open v4a, I select super quality and it installs fine. What would you need me to check for you?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Bone stock on Shamu leaves insufficient available space on /system for ViPER to install properly. I bet if you went back to bone stock, deleted the Google Editor folders in /system/app, and then flashed ViPER, you'd have a perfect installation. I know because I use Shamu on stock 6.0.1 and stock kernel. Obviously, what I was describing in my first reply does not apply to you. Everything available here is built and tested on your current setup, only with over 100mb of available /system space. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sachin.soman:
I did not try them OP :) yea they are working

Do I need to have a paid google play account? Because its asking me to select payment plan:rolleyes:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] buckmarble:
I did have >100mb free when i installed as I had to clean out space for BB and SU install. I will try it again on a fresh install though and let you know shortly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
To listen or add to library, yes you do. Alternatively, you could listen in YouTube for free with a manual search. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's really strange. Please do let me know and I'd be interested in the last four MD5 digits of the driver file as well as taking a look at your /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf before attempting to let v4a handle the install if you face the same issue after flashing ViPER.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
I've been listening with v4a and atmos on my phone speakers and bt headset. I have zero popping running pegasusq on God's kernel. Great great sound! It looks like my battery life is also excellent, even with convolver enabled
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No doubt, 4.4 is my favorite build by far!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] inzaghi75:
Is it right if I have an 6p is recommended to flash stock or could I flash beats too? I don't understand it. My English is not so good.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] buckmarble:
Looks like it worked this time. Hmm, sorry for the false alarm. Only thing I did different is I cleared out a few more apps.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
All packages are compatible and the Beats™ editions are especially recommended. It is possible that you will have to rename /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf but only do so if prompted with a driver install prompt in v4a after flashing. I recommend flashing ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Beats™ Edition.

I appreciate the report, false alarm or not, my number one goal is ensuring you guys have a fully functional, trouble free experience, the first time. :good:

I hope you enjoy the mod and hope to see more of you here as you are certainly an asset wherever you post.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] inzaghi75:
OK thanks. I flashed the stock file. Can I flash beats edition over the stock edition?

***SOLVED*** Adjusting fireq to your exact specs....

EDITED - SOLVED

Figured this one out on my own by poking around. If you're looking to adjust the db Gain for certain frequencies exactly to where you want it and not use your finger, go to your Viper4Android folder, Profile, choose whichever folder, then edit the appropriate xml file(bluetooth, headset, speaker, usb) and change the numbers in the string of

name="viper4android.headphone(bluetooth speaker etc).fireq.custom" to reflect whatever you wish.

In the example shown below, that line now reads

name="viper4android.headphonefx.fireeq.custom"

>0.0;0.6;1.2;1.8;2.4;3.0;2.1;1.3;0.6;0.0;</string>

save the file then go back into Viper4Android and reload the profile and bingo, your eq is now exactly tailored to your needs, not approximately where your index finger hit on the screen. Hope this helps some people who wanted more exact frequency adjustments...like me. :)

****Hi, Quick question for you...i'm trying to adjust my 4.3 Viper4a/Atmos equalizer according to your specs and on my version there is no easy way to delineate particular frequencies and gain levels. If I drag one of the levels up or down there is no way to know that i'm at -1.2 or -2 for the matter. Is there a way to show what gain level specifically you're at? or to adjust with a +/- button, not just your finger? I've searched and have not found the answer to this. I love the mod and have been using it for a long time but thought this would be a great added feature, similar to hardware graphic equalizers used in home audio equipment(i have a Yamaha q2031 at home).

Thank you in advance

This is a little overwhelming for me, if I could get some guidance, that would be great. I'm using a Nexus 6p, running pure nexus with elementalx kernel. I was looking to improve sound for music through headphones and Bluetooth. What would be the best choice and what process should I follow.

Thanks!

Hi buddy, sorry for answering so late :)

My profile directory for the Nexus6 is:

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Profile

May I have AP version of ViperAtmos 4.4?

I'm on CM13, do you think ViperDD+ 4.4 would work better (I don't know if the compatibility issue between CM13 internal SuperUser and SELinux Enforcing is still present)?

Thanks ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
I'm just now noticing that atmos is having no effect with my Bluetooth. Is that correct?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sure man, I'll fix you up. Are you able to switch to Permissive? DD+™ absolutely requires it.

Not correct at all. Have you tried selecting different presets just under the EQ to see if the EQ dances during playback?

All stock audio effects disabled?

A reboot should get it working if you're still having issues.

AH - MusicFX was enabled, disabled, rebooted and all is good. Darn - I've been using this for weeks now and just now notice this was an issue? DOH!

OH MY GOSH - THIS SOUND IS AMAZING... and just got out my AKG 490NC's... this is really sound I wasn't expecting from my phone... looks like my MP3 player is going to get awfully dusty.

And thanks again for the Sony Music Player - with my 64gb N6P - I can load enough local files to use this as my primary music player!

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gr33nd3vil:
if I have AudioFX on my rom now, is there a package to remove that before flashing this?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I never recommend deleting stock audio effects, only disabling them. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
OK - one more thing I'm noticing here is when my screen goes dark I am having more popping noises. Assume this is due to my performance dumbing down when my screen goes off while listening to music. I'll have to play around with more kernel settings to account for this. (anyone with tips - would be helpful, but I'll just tinker around here)...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gr33nd3vil:
So any certain one that's best for audiophiles
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's absolutely the result of kernel behavior. Unfortunately, I'm not a kernel tinkerer and stick with stock kernels so I'm not much help here, but there are many kernel tinkerers here. Have you undervolted? I would compare those values currently set to what they are in a stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I recommend flashing ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Beats™ Edition over your phone's current state.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gr33nd3vil:
Which 1 is that or a link
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
This one.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gr33nd3vil:
Ok just making sure haha. That's the one I downloaded but didn't want to mess up.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Great tip - I'll try that - also considering just going with stock kernel.

That said just switched my CPU governor to Intelliactive - and so far that is a big improvement (no popping with screen off). Its really wild - finding just the correct tweaks...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If it doesn't work out of the box, just let me know and we'll get you a fully functional sound system. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Rest assured that all these installs are virtually unmessable... installed the wrong one? - just reflash the correct one.

.... or have fun and try them all... your 'best' will be up to your device and your ears....

Compare app versions just in case the latest Sony Music update came after Evolvere's last update. If it's older, just rename the new apk with the same name, copy over the existing apk, set permissions to 0644, and reboot. Sony updated a lot of apps the other day.

This post here details the issue with CM I believe. I know on HTC ROMs you would always be prompted to edit the build.prop with a low power audio edit to disable that. Perhaps adding a line of lpa.decode=false added to the build.prop on CM based ROMs would do it.

or install an Kernel like Vindicator that has selinux already set to permissive

Could be wrong, but I don't believe that's the main issue on Lollipop anymore at all - I think that was the problem on KK and still does need done on Lollipop, but I believe there are other issues that must be gotten past now.

Also, what I meant is I believe Vindicator should work for V4A in SELinux enforcing, should be no need for permissive on that kernel if I am not mistaken. I believe he used the patch from either Hydra or leanKernel to allow this, I can confirm for sure that you do not need to set SELinux to permissive for Viper on those 2 kernels, I believe Vindi is the same way.

This version of ViPER4ANDROID works like a charm on my N6 running Euphoria. Thanks OP!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] crkdslider:
Anyone know possibly why V4A is not enabling right away for me? The ONLY way I have been able to get it to work when I want it to, is to delete ALL apps from recents, open up the V4A app, open Google Play Music > Settings > Equalizer, and only then will it enable. If I don't follow those steps, it will not come on at all.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Radixtrator:
Flashed the ZIP from OP on chroma. So far it works but the convolver function doesn't work:( any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] angiest:
I'm running Vindicator on Chroma and I use the apks. I am using Nuplayer and V4A is not in compatibility mode. Everything works fine for me
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Radixtrator:
Really weird... I tried both the ZIP and the apk, driver always is processing but the convolver settings don't seem to change anything. Tried a lot of IRS but not a one works
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] xonelith:
Running just the apk with selinux set to permissive; headphones and aux are working perfectly. Tried on a few ROMs using despair kernel mostly. Seems since 5.1 haven't needed the zips.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
Can you confirm processing = yes in driver status?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] xonelith:
Sure is. Not near my car to test it on Aux, but I know i have to change my profile or i get a bunch of distortion using my headphone profile:)

ETA: Note that I need to have permissive on all the time; I originally said install only.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Radixtrator:
So processing = yes. Equalizer works, so I know viper works, but the convolver setting doesn't change anything no matter what IRS I choose
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
What IRS are you using on the convolver?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dawiseguy77:
How do you know if this is working? There isn't an audio option in settings on the nexus 6 to choose viper. It installed fine but not sure if I can hear a difference. I do have a kernel that allows it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mashuto:
Play some music and go change some settings, some are pretty obvious. Then turn viper on and off and should be able to hear the difference as your music is playing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
If you aren't sure then its definitely not installed properly or the kernel you're using isn't compatible. I too am using Shamu and AICP rom build 4/21 and Leankernel v2.6.2 and I can tell a WORLD of difference!!!! Night and day!!! :D

I deleted the audio app (I forget the name of it..) that comes with Aicp 1st using root explorer, then flashed and setup Viper..Can't have any other apps that mess with audio when using viper...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Radixtrator:
A whole bunch of Them. Tried a few Sony ones, HTC beats for the Front facing speakers and some others. I used those on my N5 a while back so I know its not the files...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dawiseguy77:
I followed the apk install instructions. I'm using zen kernel and it says its allowed for things like viper I'm just on the out of box ROM. It seems louder and clearer but when I change stuff it doesn't do anything. Maybe I did the install wrong? What is the best way?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Set your SELinux to permissive either via kernel tweaker like Synapse or with this app, SELinux Mode Changer. If not working, keep kernel permissive still and enable fx compatibility mode instead of normal mode in Viper settings - should work then for sure. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524485 Enjoy Viper
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
What I did to get something working was to install just the apk from the official v4a site. I'm on Terminus and deleted the MusicFX folder. Processing = yes, everything works!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Longpress the zip in your file manager and choose extract from its context menu. You will likely have a folder with the same name with the folders you need inside.
