Here's 5.4DU, renamed to 4.6 as a continuation of the versions before using the new ViPER4Android apk. I've received a few reports that there is a perceived sound quality drop using the new ViPER4Android apk with its only offered driver. 4.6DU has the previous v4a with its Super Quality driver, your device's patched audio_effects.conf files, and the build.prop lines from 5.3. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] inzaghi75:

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]!

That old format for profiles (.prf) changes are noticed soon to select the profile, while the current format (xml/folder) I need to select twice the profile to notice difference in sound.

This bug when selecting the profile is normal?

You must select twice to notice difference in sound?

Someone have tested this ? That seem pretty good :)

http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-viper4android-mk-mod-t3300821

I think that can be a good to add support of this modified version.

And maybe an AROMA installer can be very useful, i can help on it :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
All good though? Must have to do with the vendor config.

I've noticed that as well, think it's a bug with the new apk as I don't recall ever experiencing that before.

I'm friends with [MENTION=6029298]metaspook[/MENTION] and have corresponded with him over PM. I think what he's doing is very cool instead of just doing more of the same like the rest of us lol! :good:

When I get a pc I will absolutely incorporate Aroma Installer. It only makes sense for what I'm doing and will allow me to bring back some of the previous versions like Beats™ only and Light and Dark themes. I cut the packages down to half by eliminating the themed apk's. I then cut those by half by eliminating the Sony™ only and the Beats™ only editions but the remaining offerings still seem to be an overwhelming number to many users.

Edit∆∆∆*******

4.6 continues work using the previous ViPER4Android 2.3.4.0 after reports of the new ViPER4Android apk being a downgrade in sound quality. This is not an unreasonable assumption given that the new apk only provides one compatible driver with no reference to its purpose being more sound quality driven or more power saving driven. I am testing this now and would have to say this is definitely the recommended version rather than 5.3 which uses the new apk. 4.6 also includes the /system/build.prop lines from 5.3 which have proven to be very beneficial to Audio Focus and curing all problems experienced with the supolicy scipt on Enforcing Selinux. Honestly, everything seems absolutely perfect and I can't see anything improving this build other than sound enhancements that are later found. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rhonin86:
Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION],

flashed 5.4 over 5.3 on my Sony Xperia Z3c rooted Stock without problems. Though i never experienced any problems with the versions before i flashed it to provide a little report to support your hard work.

Keep it up and THX 4 all

Rhonin
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's odd. Were you flashing over a working 5.2? How much /system space shows to be available?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much man! I'm curious to see how you like this version using the previous apk versus the new apk. I think the Super Quality driver indeed makes a difference not available with the new apk. To avoid any confusion, you are technically on 4.6 now lol! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
yes i flashed over working 5.2 ...system free is 338 MB ...no version after 5.2 seems to work...every package asks for V4A driver

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 AM ----------

can u please provide me the latest (5.4) and best working version of Viper|Audio stock .. i will flash it on a clean rom
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Which 5.2 package were you on? And was it Stock or the other? Which 5.3 packages? I'm talking about Stock versus Sony™ Beats™. What v4a apk version do you have now and what is the size of /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That would be ViPER|Audio™ 4.6 Stock just now posted in the OP attachments section. 5.4 was used as a test number and is, in fact, 4.6 now. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
lets keep apart everything. ...i have decided to install on a clean rom

plz suggest me the best version for Viper|Audio stock
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] desirexel:
I will test and report
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
4.6 would be my recommended ViPER|Audio™ Stock version. I just posted it minutes ago. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You wanted Beats™ only, right? Which package? I'll whip it up for you right now. I totally forgot about your request. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
ok i'll try & report

thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
For sure! And please do. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] desirexel:
Yeeeees beats only.. Dont mind i was patiently awaiting.. Thank a l��t 4.6
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Which package?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] desirexel:
Viper||atmos 4.6 is ok
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vjtigas:
I already have ViPER|Atmos 5.3 Sony Beats Edition installed, meaning my device's build.prop already has the added lines. What should I do to install 4.6? Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Here you go man! :good:

Flash away! My installation will ensure those lines are not repeated. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D_black84:
I just flashed viperatmos 4.6 sony beats and pulse is not working. I'm running DU on my OPO and pulse was previously working with 5.3 . I see there are 3 DU versions but not specifically for OPO . how can i get pulse to work again? Thx
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries, that's expected when dirty flashing a non DU version. If you flash your rom, and gapps if necessary, and attach your stock /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf file then I'll be more than happy to make a DU OPO edition. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D_black84:
Yes sure.. here it is
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks man but I need the stock DU file, that was is patched already. Plus, zip it up so I can download it as txt only allows me to view. Thanks man!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D_black84:
sorry about that . here it is
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That file is patched already, I need the file in its stock state after flashing the rom. I'm sorry man. I'll try to work with this one in the meantime. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D_black84:
ooo man now i understand what you need exactly , sorry about that . let me go ahead and clean flash the rom and gapps so i can pull the stock file for you . Thx for your patience
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries at all man! :good:

Just to clarify, these are your two locations, right?

/system/etc/audio_effects.conf

/system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D_black84:
yes that's right.. i'll zip both
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D_black84:
Here are both stock audio_effects files , i added "1" to one of them so the other one wouldn't get overridden.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much, here you go buddy! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] desirexel:
Perfect.. Thannnks so much

Im installing

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], I've just flashed 4.6 ViperAmos Sony Beats edition and tested, it's really perfect as expected. It's working wonderful.

I'm using 5.2 on my 2013 Moto Gs running CM13 and have no issues with sound distortion or the Viper driver. To me versions 5.3 and 5.4 (now 4.6) look like troubleshooting versions for phones with sound distortion or who need the driver choice formerly available in Viper? Any other benefit can be achieved by merely changing the settings in the 5.2 ViperAtmos? I ask because I'm not blessed with the wonderful skill of instant judgement, and find my perception changes over time as the mod seems to take time to settle on my phones.

To put it very simply: can I get the 4.6 benefit by just unchecking AnalogX in my Viper settings?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] white_Shadoww:
5.3 version with the latest Viper4AndroidFX driver version 2.4.0.1 seems to be better at vocals and consumes less battery in my opinion. I am using ViperDD+. Can anybody confirm the same?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] desirexel:
This is a request pls always build beats as a special edition the most important thing is feeling the sound not the number of processing. This 4.6 beats realise the definitely perfect sound. [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] your builds have evolved to bugless releases due to your opened mind humility and respect kindness towards any single capricious tester like me..

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
I'm on Tesla rom and stock kernel should I go with the DU version for 6p since I have 6p and my rom is Aosp like DU? Thinking that's what I'll do.. Anyway thanks. This should be called Viper Central. ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] phoberus:
Is it possible to make dolby atmos and v4a working with soundcloud?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Absolutely man! Thank you! :good:

Not only did you help me to help you, your contribution helps every OPO DU user! :highfive:

Thank you very much man! I'm really, really happy with this build and it's because of you guys it even exists. I had no intention of working with the previous apk until the reports started coming in. :good:

No, the main difference is the Super Quality driver that is only compatible with the previous ViPER4Android apk's. Just flash 4.6 over your phone's current state with no wipes, that's it. :good:

And you're right about it being a time and environment tested observation. Please be as critical and patient as possible and let me know what you think sounds better to you. :good:

Sound will always vary from device to device, receiver to receiver, and listener to listener. I can almost guarantee the 2.4.0.1 driver is better at power saving than the previous apk's Super Quality driver so that is expected. Processing comes at a cost. Always do what sounds best to you, that's why I try to offer as much as I can, so that you will find a combination that feels tailor-made to you and your device. :good:

Thank you so much man! You guys are an integral part in everything I do here and I enjoy the benefits of your insight and participation as you much as you guys do. :good:

ViPER|Atmos™ Beats™ will be an official package going forward. :highfive:

That first pic is normal and usually requires just unchecking and rechecking v4a. Also be sure that stock audio effects are disabled:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

Just flash away! 4.6 and 5.4 are identical except for version number. :good:

Thank you! My intention when starting this was to make it the greatest ViPER4Android resource anywhere with the best and easiest installations ever created. And with the help of everyone here, it has evolved into something truly special! :good:

If your rom does not have Pulse™ just flash the normal version over your phone's current state. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Have you tried it? The deep buffer removal during installation should allow SoundCloud to process through v4a without issue. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
I've tried every package, actually "ViPERAtmos_4.6_Sony_Beats_Edition.zip", the fix for stock kernel, but all the times appear "Unfortunately, audio services has stopped". I follow the installation steps correctly, and always the same problem. I clean my system at every attempt and then, in Driver Status, Processing remains No.

I have also disabled MusicFX app.

I'm on stock FW 23.4.A.1.264 running on Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803), rooted, LB, DualRecovery v2.8.25, SuperSU v2.67

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

Yes, and likely the new apk as well. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] xringo:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vjtigas:
Did [MENTION=3901724]zhuhang[/MENTION] have any comments about v2.4.0.1 being a downgrade in sound quality?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] xringo:
Cool thanks it works. Just one question. I didn't get to choice between super high quailty, high quailty and the other option. Is that normal? I just noticed that I had a huge battery drain when using super high quailty. High quailty option was the best for me.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Not at all. Always trust your ears no matter what you see or might assume. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Totally normal as the Super Quality driver is preinstalled during the flash. If you desire the High Quality driver instead, simply uninstall the driver through v4a, reboot when prompted, open v4a, select High Quality, and reboot once again when prompted. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] phoberus:
Yes I tried it. But for me it doesn't work and in dolby atmos I can't see the waves in the EQ.

I have a 6p on DU. tried 5.3 and 4.6 but v4a isn't processing with SoundCloud. I believe I tried downgrading the app to an older ver but it doesn't process with SC. but works on other media players aside from sc. ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sheldon91:
My issue remain also with this package, I don't think that the reason are Sony™ files, because I have the same problem with Viper Audio Stock. Previously I had full working V4A following this thread "http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/themes-apps/guide-how-to-make-viper4android-fx-5-0-t3108989", after flashing your packages, I can't reinstall it, doesn't working anymore.

Now I'm without V4A in my phone, and it is a big loss for me. :crying:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Weird its been a long time since I've used SoundCloud, I'll try real quick.

Edit*

Works perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] str8str:
This works on mm correct
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Just looked and that is just the official apk and Selinux Mode Changer. I bet it's the libeffectproxy.so. Since that file is important for the Sony™ editions I am going to build a Beats™ edition for you without that file. You'll need to restore your system to ensure you have your stock libeffectproxy.so and not the one from the packages that is not working. :good:

cant get 5.3 or 4.6 any version to load driver properly on cm13. Sometimes just stays as abnormal status sometimes I get a busybox cannot be found error but cant get the driver to give a good status no matter what I try. Yes I did a clean install. cm13 nightly from 2/14. Installed bb that didnt help then did bb on rails that also made no difference.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Sounds like /system space is filled to capacity. Also, you'll need to switch to Permissive or use SuperSU instead for the supolicy script to properly function which will grant you a Normal Status. Also, be sure to disable AudioFX. :good:

Those mods don't delete deep buffer from /system/etc/audio_policy.conf so that might help. I would open your rom zip and pull that file out and copy it over your existing one, set permissions to 0644, and reboot.

I flashed the 5.3 version of ViperAtmose Sony Beats and I'm having an issue where the driver will randomly crash while streaming Spotify. Sometime it will crash when I switch songs, open another app, or simply crash in the middle of a song while my phone is in standby. When this happens, I loose the sound for a few seconds, following which the sounds comes but without the ViPER driver. In order to recover from this, I am forced to close and reopen both the ViPER and Dolby apps from the multitasking bar (swipe them away and then reopen). Anyone else experiencing this? I'm running Pure Nexus with ElementalX kernel. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] matthew2926:
Enforcing, and I believe it is SuperSu 2.52 (whatever is included by default with Pure Nexus).
