[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] just curious why the fluence tweak.prop has a LCD density line? Not a big deal to change, but on a lot of devices changing the LCD density creates issues with some apps; camera for example.

I've tried looking through the comments and I'm sorry if I overlooked it..

But does this make a difference over Bluetooth and/or the phones speakers?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] HubrisRev5:
I tried that, and nothing. I even clean installed versions 5.5 (and now i think the Atmos does nothing), and still no change.

I checked the permissions, everything is ok, I even created a new profile just to see if it could write something, and it could.

So it sees nothing I move to the folders (old profiles, IRS).

Any other ideas would be welcomed...

Thx, I'm going to try it tomorrow with a new DU Weekly Release but I'm not sure if I should use that file since you're on PN (or am I wrong?).

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]: I'm a little confused about that audio policy thing. Is every Rom different here and has to be used with their special audio policy File? I've searched through the Topic but i found Dozens of Files and also Drive Links but no clue what Rom they are from and which I should use.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nericollin:
So after testing REDUX #1 on music (flac format) with the new Poweramp alpha, using 32bit float point audio, I can say that I've never heard anything close to this good before.

For those that do music production, I've tested it on FL Studio Mobile, Audio Evolution, and Caustic 3 with amazing results. The REDUX package has made doing mix-downs infinitely easier and has helped in the creation process too. Hearing samples and integrated instrument racks to their fullest is an invaluable tool for any aspiring producer.

As someone mentioned earlier, using the movie setting on Dolby Atmos is phenomenal for films. Watching The Force Awakens resulted in better audio than the theater provided.

If I could give this a 20/10 I would. Literally perfect

Every device has a specific audio policy, I don't believe it's rom specific (unless the rom modifies it) which device do you have?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Working as designed. :good:

If you mean tweak.prop, once placed and renamed therdtis nothing to do unless a change is suggested or you want to experiment with lines in your own testing. :good:

N5 seems to be pretty standard with the native acdb libraries being reported. I would assume 7.1 would work but I think it's been reported as not complete but that doesn't mean an absolute incompatibility considering other variables.

:good:

Try the test config first, but it seems the 4.8 config is the way to go.

I use the same lines minus the ViPER|Audio™ and SONY effect lines, but experiment and use what works best for you. 7.1 will likely work perfectly after replacing the /system/vendor/etc/audio_policy.conf with 4.8's file. Look for that exact setup in 7.2. :good:

Awesome! Thanks for the report! :good:

The zip flashes to /vendor, it seems to be the config file. Look for 7.2. :good:

:good:

Look for 7.2. :good:

Look for 7.2. :good:

It is not my file and the intention was to leave it intact in respect for its author as an example tweak.prop. :good:

No go with redux 7.2 on 6p with du.

Reflashed vendor, wiped system and caches, reinstalled rom and v4a, no pulse and no processing. We shouldn't need to manually swap audio_effects or audio_policy now right?

Also, /vendor and /system audio_effects file sizes are different
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The library path is different in /vendor which changes the size slightly.

I removed a delete line from 7.1.

Does /system/lib/libaudcal.so exist?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] heleos:
I do not see libaudcal.so
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

7.1 worked with the custom audio_policy, and copying the audio_effects from system to vendor. I copied your tweak.prop file and didn't make any other changes

Edit: used the audio_policy you provided yesterday and everything is working
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mattbta:
I used your tweak props that were attached with 7.2. However, examining build.prop -- there are no entries added. See previous post with TWRP output...looks like some processes exited abnormally?

Attaching audio policy again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
7.2 in-call volume stuck at a low level and unable to be adjusted during a call again.

Flashed stock vendor.

Wiped System.

Flashed rom, gapps, 7.2 & Sony Music beta.

Using your current tweak.prop and the 6P modified audio_policy.conf file.

libaudcal.so only exists in /vendor/lib

Also, during music playback, 7.2 sounds louder than 6 at each step on the volume slider.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ReDUX will be its own version, the number is just to keep track of test builds.

ALSA is included as are ALSA build.prop lines in the suggestedtweak.prop to activate the device's native ALSA libraries.

The N2 OTA is still sitting there while I wait for an Elite kernel N2 update.

Do exactly as you did before, even changing build.prop lines if necessary. :good:

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

K... Used Redux7.2 with linked my_current_tweak.prop, also used the custom DU_audio_policy.conf, MusicFX Enabled.

Getting closer... GP music plays, Pulse works, in call volume is loud enough to hear well, but call volume is still not adjustable. Same outcome on earpiece & loudspeaker, including wired headphones.

Call audio is clear on earpiece & wired headphones and touch-tones work, the loudspeaker has background noise and touch-tones no longer work.

Ready for the next steps to success!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] heleos:
I have touch tones, but I also can't control in-call volume. Can't test speaker cause I'm at work

hey there,

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
You sure can! :good:

Just make sure to first delete any extra

## ViPER|Audio™ ## build.prop entries from /system, doing this will help avoid V4A from making any double entries in /system/build.prop when flashing a different V4A build.

You did rename the tweak.prop or added its entries to your current one, right?

Delete the vpt, vpt51, and xloud libraries from /system/lib/soundfx if added by the Sony Music installer and reboot.

Great reports guys!

The next test update will require some time once I'm through working. I will return the patching of audio_effects and audio_policy so a dirty rom flash will be required before flashing. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mattbta:
No worries. Totally understand. I'll continue to use 4.8. Just wanted to try the goodness you mentioned with the redux versions. Real life always takes priority.

You can save your current unedited profile as "stock" to get the path on your sdcard, and check at the same time if you gave v4a the appropriate read/write permissions.

You may also just create it: /storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android

Hi!

I installed viper on android n preview 2, and it is not working with poweramp. with google play music it is okay.

The only difference in the log when I enable viper is the following line:

I assume it is some selinux permission thing.... Can anyone make something out of this message?

Any help would be appreciated!

I executed this command:

supolicy --live "allow audioserver audioserver_tmpfs:file { execute };"

and now the error message is gone, but viper is still not processing.... :'(

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] grimmaniac:
I'm using the same setup (Stock + catamod + SU2.71 + EX_elementalx gov) w/o any problems. If you use the EX Kernel manager make sure you enable set on boot for your min freq. Otherwise it will only switch to 422mhz if you open the app.

In PowerAmp:

Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks

Uncheck the top two boxes pertaining to Volume Control

That's not the log I need. The recovery.log will be in /sdcard as /sdcard/recovery.log if, before booting into Android from TWRP, you tap Advanced > Copy Log > Swipe to Copy Log to SDcard.

What are the contents of /sdcard/tweak.prop?

There are no direct edits to build.prop from ReDUX. There is only tweak.prop support built-in so that you have total control over what happens to your /system/build.prop.

I stopped using test versions and just stuck with 4.8 because I realized I'm literally using so much time flashing different zips (always do clean flashes ?), modifying V4A, etc. and I need a daily driver now.

Also, I read something about tweak.prop, could you also explain about that? Thank you so much!

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No, the OTA didn't work with TWRP this time so I used najoor's flashable zip.

I don't use Ratchet's for a few reasons:

It is important for me to test new operating systems in stock form first and foremost.

I'm not a fan of dev's posting repeatedly in other dev's threads telling users to download his version instead.

I'm not a fan of dev's using a ViPER|Atmos™ build in their work while calling it their own in several different posts and threads, especially when I work with them over Hangouts, one -on-one, to prepare a fully functional build for their project.

What exactly am I to do with the Redux_tweak.props.zip? Also am I still supposed to use the DU_audio_policy.conf and the my_current_tweaks.prop shared with yesterdays 7.2 build, with MusicFX Enabled?

Just want to be sure of the setup.:p

Thanks!:highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Honestly, it's not as shady as it might seem. There is an etiquette protocol with XDA developers that certainly has a complex learning curve that is often times only fully understood after stepping on a few toes.

My mention in his OP is for "v4a support" for his "ViPER|Atmos™ Nutella" which I asked him two different times to include "4.9" in the version info text so that users would know what version they are on when coming to me for assistance.

ReDUX tweak.prop zip has two different tweak.prop suggestions. Apply desired entries to your current /SDcard/tweak.prop before flashing. audio_policy is still untouched so copy over if necessary. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Sorry, you move too fast in here for the casual user =) you say the audio_policy is untouched, so does that mean I should no longer copy over the edited one that you made for my 6P earlier?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Learn as you go stuff, understandable. That 4.9 edit would make it easier for you no doubt.

Back to fastboot to flash najoors android n. Might do some more research first to see how well root works with xposed and other apps on N.

For the part, majority of what you used on marshmallow works on N? You saying the viper sounds even better got me a little hyped.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] PhantomHacker:
Hey viper, gonna be embarrassing if you answered this already, homie. I haven't been on xda in ages. Anyway, I was curious what media player you use daily.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] watzone69:
Which Elite Kernel are you using? I looked in his thread but all there was for N preview was the old one which he says doesn't work with preview 2.

I flashed Najoor's zip to get N preview 2 also but I can't get any of the Viper zips to work.

Could it be Busybox? I used Stericson's installer app but then I thought I read somewhere about having to flash a busybox zip in recovery with the new preview system mounted??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
I think guitardedhero mostly uses the sony music player
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Untouched, as in any desired changes are the user's responsibility at this point. This will change though. :good:
