so what should u do mate?? any suggestions?? :) :) :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Try the suggestion above and adjust or disable settings in XHiFi to test.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] diseezneal:
It was already turned off...but I tried with Dialogue Enhancer... I think its ok now after turning Dialogue Enhancer off... :) Thanks for that...

there is one more thing...I not being able to create or use/locate existing audio profile in V4A...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Save any open v4a tab as a New Effect Profile named "diseezneal" and search through the possible v4a directories. When you find the "diseezneal" folder inside the Profile folder you've found your working v4a directory. :good:

I'll get something written up this afternoon or in the morning, depending on what my afternoon looks like. I'll do it technical, but easy enough that the average person will understand their options. Doesn't matter how precise it is, if the person reading doesn't understand the words, they'll never get the meaning of why.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] diseezneal:
Yes, I did that...but the thing is, its not being saved... I cant even find it on V4A even after saving a profile
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
Would it be possible to create a zip that deletes everything to be able to start from scratch and test out the different packages? Doesn't wiping system delete other things that I would miss?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] rage77:
Sorry for the "false alarm" It seems it just needed a reboot after I checked to enable Viper4 in the Viper4 app. It didn't kick in until after a reboot.

We live and learn :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Wonderful, looking forward to seeing it! :good:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > ViPER4Android

Tap permissions are tab on App Info

Deselect and Select Storage Permissions

Yes, but it will take time to complete as each file will require its own removal line in the script. Wiping System in TWRP and dirty flashing your rom wipes all /system files and mods. For example, after I'm done, I have to copy an overlay folder into /system/vendor and set permissions to remove navigation bar for my LMT Launcher usage and run Adaway to get the custom hosts file back into /system/etc.

Glad you got it working! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
But system app preferences and system settings, themes etc are held in the data partition? If that is the case I am cool with it :) thank you so much for all the work you do and for being an exemplary dude and developer whom many others should learn from.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for the kind words!

If by themes you mean Layers, they'll have to be copied over and set with the correct permissions before rebooting. Almost everything is stored on /data in most cases. If I didn't use Adaway or a single Layer overlay a System wipe and dirty flash would look like a System reboot, except for the absence of ViPER|Atmos™ of course. ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
So last question... I read the differences of the zips but don't understand fully... There are 4 main apps, 2 dolby and 2 viper, as well as invisible mods in the background... Why would you use more than one of each app? Is the hifi version just for compatibility?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The bottom two zips are "just for fun" and are for the "crack flashers" and are part of what I call the: "Now, this is just getting stupid... "™ series.

They'll be removed today but will still be available at my AndroidFileHost. Nothing is ever enough for these "crack flashers" anyway lol! ;)

I just installed BusyBox via the Osmosis zip file (for systemless root into su/xbin install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239421)

I did this so I could use Kernel Adiutor and change my kernel settings (ElementalX) to 'ondemand' as recommended in these threads.

However - when I go to run Viper4Android XHiFi - I get a notification that busybox can not be found (see attached image) - and application closes.

Note that V4A is working fine, just not XHiFI

?? - does XHiFi replace V4A or just supplemental (which do I run - I can't tell as XHiFI isn't working !!)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] junioramboy:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], I was reluctant to try this out for a while because I was content with V4A. But because I was clean flashing I finally tried. Oh man, this is by far the best sound my device has ever produced. By the way, I used to be a DJ so I kinda know how good music sounds like. This is amazing! Many thanks!

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Anyone here use VLC for an audio player?

I ask because I just realized that using Google Music Player was killing my data usage. So I copied my music to my /music folder - and am looking for a great/easy player. VLC is free and I was already using it for videos, however it seems a little limited for music.

I was able to get it to work with V4A - so no issues there.

I now this question has come up before - but what is the consensus for the best music player - (free preferably, but paid if necessary to get quality)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
Found a nice Superbass profile.

Place it in the profile folder from Viper4Android.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Keep in mind XHiFi development stopped a very long time ago and that it will likely have trouble with newer BusyBox installs.

My pleasure, I really appreciate you giving it a try! :good:

Hands down, Sony Music is the best free music player. Extract the zip below and copy the SemcMusic folder into /system/priv-app, set folder permissions to 0755, set apk permissions to 0644, and reboot.

It is the latest version released last week. :good:

Thanks for sharing! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
- great - Sony Music is installed - thanks - so far - so good!

I'm must going to use Titanium Backup and remove XHiFi app .
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My pleasure! In fact I'm removing those two builds right now. They'll still be available in my AndroidFileHost. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Thanks for the Sony tip, never tried it. Looks pretty nice. I normally issue GM since I have a lot more at Google than on my phone, but nothing wrong with both!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It certainly sounds awesome too!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
So big problem... I wiped system and flashed it again with the sound mod and my gapps were gone.. So I rebooted and flashed them and now they force close constantly.. Tried using the original gapps I had saved before and same problem..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Google Play Services probably needs updating I'm guessing. Do another dirty flash including Gapps in the process.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
I tried to install Sony Music on my Samsung S5 but it would not install, it said that it is not compatible for my device?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Hey [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] - It seems that changing CPU governor to Ondemand did indeed alleviate the cracks, pops, and screen-off stutter I was experiencing with Atmos.

So, here's my current working setup:

ViPERAtmos Material Dark - Beats Huawei Permissive Edition

Once again, only changes are replacing the default V4A with Material Dark, and removing the su.d script(s) for use with an outside solution for Permissive Selinux.

I also recommend adding the section to /system/build.prop as suggested in my earlier post:

and adding the 2 lines to /system/etc/audio_policy.conf as suggested in the OP, then rebooting, starting music with both V4A and Atmos toggled off, then activating V4A then Atmos to get a feeling to what each brings to the space of your sound.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
Still force closes... All the Google apps force close on boot. Boots fine if I don't flash gapps. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
I have the Sound Alive and Music FX frozen using Titanium Backup, I have had Music Fx disabled since 2014. I don't have the settings>Apps>menu>show system option on my ROM Setup for the S5.

AT LAST!!! Viper (Stock version) is working again!! :) For all users of HTC One M9 - try it :) Now i;m on Maximus HD 7.1.0 ROM
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
Nope no issues without gapps
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Hmm, started getting scratchy pulsating sounds. Happened after installing Sony player. Happens when Atmos is on (all switches off in that app). Tried uninstalling Sony and rebooting, same issue. Have the v4a/Atmos only version. EX Enforcing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TexasRules777:
Every time I try to follow to op's instructions to wipe system and dirty flash I get the dreaded "unfortunately play services has stopped" error repeatedly. Flashing gapps again and I get "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" repeatedly. I've given up dirty flashing and with the help of titanium back up I can set up my phone back to normal in less than an hour. I'm not sure if it's layers or exposed or just some step I'm doing wrong but I can't wipe my system without a myriad of issues. The ROM thread I follow (Pure Nexus) also specifically says that flashing gapps over a dirty ROM is going to give you issues. I too wish there was a way to try out these different mods without going back to bone stock but if you use titanium it gets a lot easier. That being said I'm using 4.2.1 viperatmos beats huawei zip from a few days ago and I'm curious if that zip had the super audio quality driver in it? I went into viper and uninstalled the driver, rebooted and chose super quality driver when asked to install and rebooted again. Would that fix it if it didn't?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm sorry for the confusion, a System wipe is only to ensure a perfect ViPER installation with no conflicts from other sound mods when installing for the first time. Once ViPER is installed, its backup script will allow it to survive rom updates. 4.3 finally has the Super Quality Driver, after I noticed it after not being satisfied with the sound and trying to figure out the cause. A very embarrassing oversight for me but I'm just happy that's over with lol. If you let v4a install the Super Quality driver on 4.2.1 then, essentially, you are at 4.3. At this point, all you have to do is just follow your rom dev's update instructions and as long is it doesn't interfere with ViPER's backup script, you'll boot into a processing state. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TexasRules777:
Thanks for the quick response. I was worried about the driver because when I did a clean flash yesterday I used the older 4.2.1 zip I had on my SD card and then wondered if I had the degraded driver installed. Hearing that I can update through the viper app and get the super driver installed calms my worries :). And no need to be sorry! You can't possibly account for every phone,ROM,app,exposed module,layers theme on every phone out there! I was just feeling the guy I quoted's pain. Some of us will just have to clean flash for whatever reason. Your app is one of the best I've used on my phone and I encourage anyone lurking and on the fence to try this app out! Some Machine Head and my Jabra Bluetooth headphones... Pure metal man!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No doubt about it! \m/
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Follow up to pulsating scratching. I reflashed EX as permissive, and still had the issue. Decided it was a v4a issue, not Atmos, since no scratches with Atmos alone. Turns out it happens when Firequalizer is enabled. Uncheck that and all is good with v4a and Atmos. Not sure what caused that to go bad (maybe Sonny Player did something to equalizer?)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
So is there any fix to the gapps force closing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tpuser59:
You may want to try Jetaudio, Poweramp or Gone Mad players.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Reechings:
Thanks for the Sony Music zip. I like Rocket Player the best right now. The free version has a ton of features including a really nice notification with album artwork and a lockscreen wallpaper option with quick links to album/artist etc.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] bro im in fresh rom. So do i just flash the v4.3 viperdd+ ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Do you have Play Store? If not, try another Gapps package. I avoid this issue by using rom's based on Google's factory image so I'm not well versed in the issues they present. I'm sorry for not being very helpful with this issue. Have you asked in your rom's thread?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Glad you figured it out! I never use the FIREqualizer so that's why I never experience this on a stock based rom with stock kernel.

You got it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
Nope running cm13.. On LG g3. I will ask on my thread as well. Thanks for trying.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I think I have an idea. I would download and install the latest Google Play Services ending in -430 from apkmirror.com and install it. That way the update resides in /data which will survive a System wipe. Once installed, then flash Gapps. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Thanks but this did not work. Strangely after I removed all the additions to the build.prop it was working as normally after calls and notifications. I added the lines on 3.9 because I needed it and just assumed I needed to carry over to 4.2 but clearly something changed and I no longer needed those lines! Thanks for all the hard work on this and the awesome support you provide!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
I now have a strange issue, not sure when it started...in v4a settings when I try to use 'phone speaker' settings nothing happens, no processing, nothing. Driver status reports 'disabled and not processing. But if I use the 'bluetooth' control settings to enable v4a then all devices work, ie., phone, bluetooth, headset all seem to be controlled by the bluetooth setting in v4a. Doesn't matter if I check 'enable' on headset, phone, or dock, they only work if bluetooth is checked (enabled) in v4a. So, I can only adjust all devices up under the bluetooth setting only. Help please.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Awesome! Had no idea you added lines to /system/build.prop. That's funny because at first I used six lines I think, and I just had a suspicion that it probably didn't help anybody, but possibly became an obstacle so I pulled them out and it never seemed to create an issue with its absence. That's good to know, thanks for letting us know!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My Sony SRS-55X does that too and it drive me crazy until I figured it out. When I turn the speaker off while playing audio, the song pauses and v4a immersions goes to Speaker tab.

Also check to be sure Lock Effect Mode is set to Disabled in v4a menu.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
that sounds like a great idea.... however when trying to install that apk, i get a parsing error, tried a few other versions as well. any clues on that? the package md5 was all good ... :/
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Did your device start on Lollipop and you've got a Marshmallow rom (cm13) now?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bschmidy10:
yes i did! , thank you for the continued help!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] anthonyg45157:
I must say after replacing the low quality driver with the high quality it really made the music and more importantly bass come back alive. I didn't even wanna get out of my car I just kept wanting to hear more
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
430 should work. Are you able to go into Settings > Security > Device Admistrators and uncheck Google Play Services if it's there?

Man, me too lol! I swear I didn't do this on purpose to try to blow your minds later!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
Lock effect mode is off and I have no ideal the other thing you said. You lost me there. But its not working, its still the same, only bluetooth contols are working. Can you better explain what you did. How did you turn the speaker off?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abbz123:
Viper have any changes done to Bluetooth connectivity?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
Not that I can tell. Bluetooth connectivity seems to be fine.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm sorry, immersions should be immediately. I've found some devices to be very aggressive with a connection that if I leave the speaker on but stop song or turn Bluetooth off on the phone, v4a still shows the bluetooth output tab and I can't get it to work how I want. However, if I turn the Bluetooth speaker off while music is playing all is good after that.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
I played a song and then turned bluetooth on and off and now I can adjust sound in phone speaker. Go figure? Any ideals on that? lol. Its working right now. Weird. But I'm happy. Thanks again.

Wow. I did that before reading your post, lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] anthonyg45157:
No worries at all! Live and learn? bet that mistake won't happen again!:good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I think Marshmallow's new Bluetooth system might be part of it. But the bug is definitely connected to certain receivers that makes me assume it's an aggressive Bluetooth behavior on the receiver's part.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's been almost a year since any change in the app, I believe any introduced quirks or odd behaviors would be the result of Bluetooth changes in OS.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Use Banks Gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=profile&uid=23060877490004802

Installs the basics, everything else you can get at playstore.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for that! I feel terribly he's had to go this long like this.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
I'm no expert but I had this same problem and it seemed like everything I tried to do to 'fix' it made the problem worse. The only solution I found (and that's after trying everything else) was to wipe data and reflash. Worked perfectly after that. I know they are quick to suggest wiping system and reflashing your rom without gapps but as I've read thru this thread that has caused problems for many of us. I think we need to find a better way to 'dirty' flash if we plan to keep updating, testing, etc. I have the Nexus 6P just in case this proves to be device specific. Sorry, but hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

You could try a restore but that didn't work for me either.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Yeah, must do factory reset with Banks Gapps (and others). Never use to, but seems after 6.01 gapps messes things up if you try dirty flashing. Best to leave gapps alone after you have a working system. Don't need to wipe internal card though, just system, data, and caches.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Well, err, doesn't applying all of these audio mods at the same time defeat the whole idea of these mods?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Reechings:
Well I don't quite know what the deal is with my phone:

The problem I am having is that I get an audio stutter every time I fast forward a song where it plays a tiny bit of the beginning of the song I am skipping before playing the next song. My notification sounds also get partly cut off.

I figured that it might be because of all the different zips I dirty flashed over each other like the RHR package etc.

I wiped my system and caches and reflashed my rom and my usual bag of tricks. Made a nandroid with everything up and running but no Viper etc installed and all Samsung sound apps disabled or removed:

No stutter and everything sounds normal

Wiped caches and flashed ViPERAtmos 4.3 Beats Huawei Edition.zip then wiped caches:

Stutter returns

Restored nandroid and flashed 3ViPERAtmosDark_4.3_Beats_Huawei_Edition-Permissive.zip:

Stutter returns

Nandroided and decided to try just restoring Viper using Titanium backup and install driver manually:

Works great with and without Audiophile applied!

Tried restoring Atmos using Titanium Backup:

Stutter returns and stays even after uninstalling Atmos.

Decided that Atmos must be the problem so I flashed 3ViPERAudio_4.3_MaterialDark_Beats_Huawei_Edition_Permissive.zip:

Stutter back again

I haven't tried the non Beats/Huawei version yet but I really wanted at least Atmos to work. Maybe a clean flash would make a difference but I am doubtful at this point.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
I'll throw out my personal preference.. i've been using BlackPlayer EX. EX is the paid version but there is also a free version.

Didn't see this answered yet, so.. if you're dirty flashing, don't flash the gapps. That's why they're FC'ing. Most have backup scripts in place to survive a dirty flash.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
That's not true. Not flashing Gapps has caused problems for many of us. On my Nexus 6p I have to flash the Gapps package also or I get the FC's he's talking about. I had the same problem and had to do a factory reset. From then on whenever I dirty flash I flash the Gapps package too, it's been working fine since. Some of us need a better way to dirty flash or we run into issues.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Was just giving my suggestion because that's generally the way a dirty would work. Could also depend on the gapps package used. Personally, I have to flash fine with a dirty because the ROM I'm using requires it right now. Normally I wouldn't.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Pzyborg:
Yeah, it's a little crazy cause there doesn't seem to be a one-for-all solution.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
Need a little help for Benzo Rom as it comes with v4a by default... Should I remove existing one using TB, and flash the zip from here or I need tondo something else also??
