I had just loaded up 4.81 non atmos version when you replied. I clean flashed the rom and went back to the included kernel as you recommended. All seems to be ok for now so might have been some weird kernel incompatibility with the rom that was the issue and it just happened to show up in V4A most. Will keep testing with current install setup.

Thanks again and Keep up all the great work,

Sorry for being new to this. I installed Viper and enabled the setting for the speaker, but my notifications sounds are still very low. Im running Pure Nexus rom on my Nexus 6p. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BatCyr:
I'm not sure about what you refer as acbd.

I was considering giving 4.8.1 a try once more, and even maybe test it combined with Project Desire.

The thing is I'm a bit afraid I might break something again (I'm looking at you in-call volume...) and not be able to repair by any other mean than wiping everything again.

Which I really don't want to deal with right now.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] edu4rd0zs:
Make sure that you have a kernel with permissive Selinux. I recommend elite kernels (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/development/kernel-elite-kernel-t3347511)., which is the one that I am running and viper working. Also, since this is a custom rom, the developer may have installed some audio mods. I would recommend doing a nandroid backup through TWRP. After that is done, install the kernel and then follow the steps provided by guitardedhero to install viper

Installation:

Boot to recovery

Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache

Install > ViPER|Audio™ OR ViPER|Atmos™ OR ViPER|DD+™

Reboot

If you happen to run into any problems, try using a different rom, I recommend xtrasmooth, which is the one that I am running and viper working.

If for some reason you don't feel like doping it, just restore the backup from TWRP and you should be right where you were before you installed viper
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:

I have found ViPERAtmos4.8 to be the most stable across all Rom's builds, anything 4.8.1 and above seem to have issues with the in call volume on some Roms, DU being one of them, either it being to low to hear, background noise while in a call, or not being able to adjust the in call volume at all.

That being said, builds 4.8.1 and above sound phenomenal and are an improvement over all compared to 4.8, if your current ROM setup is not affected by this issue than really any of the current ReDUX builds will sound great, ReDUX 9X included.:good:

Woops almost forgot! :silly:

I have been using poweramp for years and it works quite well worth v4a

Must be a personal preference thing or these other players that much better?

I'm interested in theories
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] GBPackerFanForLife:
What are the best settings for the external speakers.. I either can't get them loud enough or they are way to loud..I'm using Atmos installed...I just can't find a good medium...On the Moto nexus 6 I didn't have this problem..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] BatCyr:
As a keen Poweramp enthousiast myself, I never felt the need to look for another player.

However, all the time I spent lurking here between two flashes made me wonder.

As for now (I still need to do some more research with different types of sounds and files), I have the feeling that where Poweramp is wilder and wider, Sony Music Player is a lot more precise and clean. If you like dirty beats and heavy bass, I'd recommend Poweramp. If you prefer clarity, I'd go with Sony Music Player.

On top of that, USB Music Player seems to push a little bit further, like a slight improvement over Sony Music Player, power and depth wise.

Unfortunately I've only tested the free trial app as the pro version is a little expensive and has a repulsive ui.

I need a convenient widget and a comfortable ui; in this regard Poweramp is still way ahead in my opinion.

I'm interested in other theories too.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] iceman0826:
Me too been using poweramp for years, I use it because I don't want my player handle any kind of audio processing and let the Audio Mods handle it. Less redundancies in audio processing, much better audio quality.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
That was a great follow up. Really appreciate that. I bought poweramp back in 2008 or so, because it seemed like such a solid player, and I wanted to support the developers that made the application. It was one music application that played all file types. I guess I will be sticking to that. Plus the skin I am using on it right now, looks mint :)

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

Awesome man, seems like we have a clique of poweramp users here :) Great response, thank you !

EDIT: On top of that follow up, what is the preference between the 3 Viper Audios that you guys prefer ?

ViPERAtmos_4.8_Sony_Beats_Edition

ViPERDD+_4.8_Sony_Beats_Edition

ViPERAudio_4.8_Sony_Beats_Edition (I am using this one currently)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Yours is the base,the others have the Dolby add-on included (separate app/icon). They are similar, like an equalizer that also boosts volume level for both speakers and headphones. Both have presets and can be tweaked to your liking. Some people like them and some feel it's too much.

I prefer viper/atmos ESP when I want the speaker volume raised for YouTube and similar apps
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
OK sweet, so I will have to flash ViPERAtmos_4.8_Sony_Beats_Edition.zip and try it out -- I will make a nandroid before hand in case something gets messy. Yes I am mainly looking to boost the speaker for speaker phone calls, as well as headset and BT a little more.

Thanks for info, going to flash it now quickly -- I have been pleased with what I have been using, this mod is excellent! Hope Atmos is awesome too :)

EDIT: amazing, I really like the Atmos so far, handy little toggles and features. Was just trying to get how I like each setting. So that means Atmos runs on top of V4A? Since I have V4A settings, then I can run the Atmos app to allow even more settings on top of that, pretty nutty how you can mess with all of this.

So since I flashed the base gives me the V4A app

then i flashed Atmos, which gives me the Atmos app

If I flash DD+, i assume it will add the DD+ app as well...

so you can have all 3 applications working together, or ???

And if you want to remove Atmos and DD+ so you can just use the V4A , is it simply just uninstalling the application within the Android OS, and maybe a reboot? Or is there a driver set somewhere on the phone (files) you should be concerned about too ?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm thrilled you decided to give ViPERAtmos a shot while already being pleased without the extra Dolby processing! Many are hesitant about an extra DSP, especially when trying hyper-processed sound mods in the past. ViPER|Atmos is a phenomenal collection of just the right stuff and no fluff.

I wanted dirty flashing, with no wipes, to be convenient for everyone to test the different combinations so removal lines for the DSP apps and their data are part of every installation. This means flashing ViPERAudio over ViPERAtmos or ViPERDD+ will result in no Dolby DSP app.

Manually uninstalling the apk's is not enough. It is important to remember these are merely GUI's for changing data in /data and /system. For example, if you uninstall/delete the Dolby Atmos apk while its state is powered On, you will reboot with the same Dolby Atmos processing. Turning the DSP Off is better than deleting if you are not aware of every component that completes the install.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I apologize for being so tied up today. I was crazy busy with work, all the while trying to escape N romming hell. I think I figured it out but I'm just now about to test it. It seems what I thought were possible changes needed in updater-script to install and boot up is not the case. My N romming hell might have been Safebooting hell instead.

It's such a weird coincidence that has had me running in the wrong direction:

I first started with a /system copy of a running system resulting in a few (cannot access) files along with an updater-script that simply would not work at all without numerous changes. I then was advised to use a /system TWRP backup for all the files. This seemed perfect to ensure the data was correct so I could focus on the script, assuming any problems occurring would most certainly be from the script and not /system.

Well, before I got the script to a state I knew could not possibly have any issues I had decided to try an alternative Permissive Selinux method than what I was originally planning to implement in the rom. I never thought about the method being the cause for never once successfully booting and had come to the conclusion that there must be a new metadata updater-script incompatibility with N as I have yet to see a metadata updater-script for N.

Tonight, on my way home, it dawned on me that tupac's N rom (my escape from flashing my rom) has been consistently booting into Safe Mode every single time after flashing mine. Dozens of times in a row, flashing the originally planned Permissive method from Safe Mode boots to tupac4u's full rom. The Permissive boot up scipt I had experimented restores itself every single time, causing my rom to attempt a boot into Safe Mode but ultimately boots to TWRP instead I'm suspecting.

I'm about to find out if I was able to remove this restoring boot script and hopefully booting up for the first time flashing this rom. My methods are different as I'm not including root and attempting to use init.d scripts for Permissive Selinux without using SuperSU. I am suspecting this unique difference from tupac4u's rom is why each rom has its own very different result in what I am assuming is a forced Safe Mode.

Sorry for the long story, just keeping you guys posted on what I'm doing and it seems an end is within sight. I'll be back to ViPER work as soon as I get N how I want it: fully functional, unrooted ViPER|Atmos™ rom with Permissive Selinux. There is not a Permissive kernel for N that does not require a script in /su.d so we'll see what happens. :good:

Ok, sounds good. Yah I had to try it, and I see it is excellent combination. I wasn't sure about how the app / installation went, when installing V4A_base over ViperAtmos, as I retained the V4A application, and now have an application called Dolby Atmos

OK sounds great in that regard. You can have every mod installed, and just use the power ON/OFF feature per-mod, that's handy.

Solid mod, really glad it's working well with everything so far ! Really happy I found out about it too !

It gets screwy after flashing different N roms. Even when you wipe system or do a full wipe it still has that rom residue that refuses to leave. Good thing I had najoors full n first preview. Everything is working now, I'm not trying any second previews until you have yours. I flashed pandas mod yesterday and lost root. Went to recovery flashed root and then.. Loopopolis.. Dirty flash, clean.. Nothing worked.. Safe mode all day..

Like you said there's something in each rom a person makes that doesn't allow some mods or actions to be made.

At least you're back now.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The app is poorly written, especially compared to ViPER4Android. Even with all the work requiring root already being completed, it is still not satisfied unless root root and BusyBox exist only on the /system partition. ViPER4Android requires neither if the driver is already installed.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

for the new redux builds, do it require a custom audio_policy??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That is true when installing the source packages as dap patches the audio_effects configs while DDP overwrites those configs and doesn't include the dap entries. Every single file of either is totally separate from the other so they don't merge or overwrite anything, which is smart porting obviously. dsp's audio_effects patching is exactly what inspired me to go this route to see how many other aspects of the installation and plug-and-play experience. :good:

That's hilarious because I even made a flashable zip that is titled Safe Mode Avoider for my own personal use as I had executed the permissive boot script and here I am flashing one slightly edited unrooted rom after another to find a permissive solution without root until a true Permissive N kernel is available except during archiving and yesterday was just absolute hell. What's funny is that the original N Permissive fix zip still does the job as well, only it does require root.

I think I might have it booting this time. I haven't tried it yet as I've been working nonstop for what seems like a week without a single boot so I'm going to enjoy this moment for a minute and get back to you guys. It might not boot up but I'm going to think it is lol! :good:

I just went back from previous pages and it seems you're recommending ViperAtmos v4.8.1 than ReduX 9Y, If I recall Redux 9Y is the complete version of 4.8.1?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No hype son!! And since Aural Maximizer has no apk's, it should work on many different Android OS's. Just flash over any current sound mod! :good:

It will be the best you've heard ViPERAtmos I bet. Especially, with the same builds (4.8.1 N6 N2 is my fav!) and phones. :highfive:

Oh no, it almost couldn't be more compatible than it is. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ReDUX was a testing phase to bring compatibility for 4.8.1 to most devices. With the N previews coming at that time, the best I could do was narrow it down to three builds lol! No real reason to try ReDUX if 4.8.1 works already unless you just want to test for noticeable differences. 9y is the most complete while 9xxx has the most (still not much) removed of the three.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mayorblurps:
I have a 6p also and followed the instructions to a T and still couldn't get any of my previous profiles or IRS to load. Granting Viper storage permissions seems to have fixed the issue.

-Click Permissions, then slide the tab over to 'on'

Once you do this, go back into Viper and try loading a previous profile or IRS. Should all be there.

Actually when I found ViperAtmos 4.8 and came up with my best profile I stopped looking for anything better. I tried 4.8.1 from a few weeks ago and promptly went back to 4.8.

I've found there are 2 rules to remember when setting musical sound.

#1 Once you get it right any changes you make will detract from it.

#2 The speakers or earphones are the final absolute determining factor of any sound system. I tried a couple different earphones recently and hated them.

Version 4.8 coming through my earphones can't be improved. Of course yall have different earphones so you might need something different. But once you find that peak of perfection you'll never improve it.
