Cool, I was simply curious. I seemed to have some weird swell effect until I enabled MusicFX and rebooted. :good:

Yes, and /storage/emulated/0 is correct. :good:

Looking especially forward to your review as you are certainly no fanboy! :good:

A MusicFX Installer and AudioFX Remover zip is located in the OP attachments section but only flash if experiencing odd audio behavior. :good:

Oh boy, you popped in just in time! Go a couple pages back and flash 4.8.1-TP REDUX exactly as described in the post. :good:

Wouldn't think it would being a different device with the included sound files in zip, guess it can work universally.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mar-cel:
Yes music was playing but did not work. After a clean install from recovery it works for me
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] millserd:
Yea, that same thing happened on stock (lollipop). It's either viper or maybe the build prop changes. Thanks for replying.

Attached below.

I'm zipping [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION]'s Stock Debloated Deodexed 6.0.1 with the ViPER Installer and edits to see what happens.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] r3tribut1on:
I'm unable to get it to install on my Nexus 6 on 6.0.1 systemless root. Using ElementalX and TWRP. Upon flashing the 1.3 zip with Dolby Atmos after mounting the system in TWRP, I get an error. When I don't mount the system but try to install, it succeeds but doesn't install the app to /system/priv-app

Edit: Got it to work! Stock kernel, stock 6.0.1 on Project Fi, SuperSU 2.62, TWRP installed, both Dolby Atmos and Viper are working perfectly.

Did a fresh install of 6.0.1, booted, installed TWRP, booted, flashed SuperSU BETA 2.62, booted, freed up space in /system by deleting /system/app/Chrome, mounted "System" in TWRP, installed Viper+Dolby 1.3 Installer, wiped davlik and cache, booted, checked that Viper was installed, wiped davlik and cache again, then proceeded to use Viper and Dolby Atmos flawlessly. Thank you so much!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] r80ies:
Cool a clean install worked for me on my N7 2013, but not on my N6P. Glad it worked out for you.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D-m-x:
Yeah, now I remember, took a while back then to figure that out. But to be clear, I didn't try without Viper, so I'm just assuming this is the cause, also not the Google App is crashing but "Always on Voice".

No problem :)

It works osm!thanks for the work!but today while travelling was using the navigation and found the navigator's voice to be less clear and low in volume.I had to take off the Dolby effect to get it back to normal. Is it usually like this or any tweaks can be done?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] A_XDA457:
APK

I flashed the zip but I can't find the app/apk. Can anyone send me a copy?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
Longtime Viper user here. Freaking amazing work and flawless settings. Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: Anyone else on M notice that when a call comes in, the driver stops processing? A reboot is needed in order to start it back up again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I've been hard at work behind the scenes focused on maximum compatibility and consistent processing for 6.0.1 and systemless root in an Enforcing Selinux environment while preserving the preinstallation of the Super Quality driver. The purpose for preinstalling the driver is for users who experience a persistent install driver prompt and ultimately creating an awesome sound mod possible without root for those with occupation provided devices that are able to have a custom recovery but cannot have root.

I know I've left you guys hanging a bit but I've been testing and editing non-stop while working and will be much more available tonight and throughout the weekend.

Attached below is the latest build I'm testing now. Still, System must be mounted for the zip to be able to write to /system, I don't know why but for now just be sure System is mounted in TWRP. You may have to edit /system/etc/audio_policy.conf for consistent processing after a notification comes in or a voice call. I haven't had an opportunity to devote enough time testing audio_policy.conf edits but here's a couple that seem to help with no processing after audio interruptions:

Open /system/etc/audio_policy.conf in text editor

Add 44100 to voice_rx

Add 48000 to a2dp

Save changes

Reboot

Do this only if you experience no processing after a notification or voice call when v4a was processing immediately before the audio focus.

Edit*

Forgot to mention that, at least in my case, after opening and setting up v4a the first time Driver Status will display values that make it seem it will not work right away, but play an audio file and uncheck and check Enable v4a in the tab in use and it should begin processing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] r80ies:
I am not sure if I missed this so my apologies if this has been asked, but does selinux need to be set to permissive?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] axlrosejr:
Viper+Dolby Confirmed all working fine for me with MMB29K Danvbh 6.0.1 lite rom, Elite kernel, Cataclysm Mod, Xposed and SuperSU 2.62-3. Worked on second attempt as I didn't tick System when selecting Mount in TWRP before flashing the Viper zip.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Mount System in TWRP before flashing ViPER Installer, sorry for the inconvenience, I'll get it sorted. I saw a user here mention a new SuperSU beta, version 2.62, maybe that will help. Mount System first for now.

Thank you for asking as I forgot to include that pertinent information in my 1.9 beta post. V4a and Dolby Atmos work in Enforcing Selinux and should work in Permissive as well. I haven't tested with Permissive as I'm focused on a package that works on a device as close to stock as possible and those devices far from it, which is why I opted to call it the Ultimate Installer.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Thanks for the custom installers.. Waiting to see how the tupac4u setup turns out
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Of special interest to me is the success rate of 1.9 beta vs. 1.3, even if it's equal, so I know if I'm moving forward, falling back, or just running in place.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
The audio_policy.conf edits worked. One thing to note (I found out through trial and error) is that the freqs need to be listed in numerical order on those line items (not just added to the end). For example:

sampling rates 8000|16000|44100|48000

is not seen the same as

sampling rates 8000|16000|48000|44100
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for mentioning that, in an attempt to be as comprehensive and thorough as possible, tidbits that seem obvious still get left out.

I've added your post to my 1.9 beta post if you don't mind.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bladebuddy:
Guitardehero, just stumbled across this post after seeing the excellent work you have been doing on the original thread. I was just wondering if you already have viper4android working on marshmallow but you want to try out the other audio zips, do O need to start from scratch or can they be added without messing things up. Basically I don't want to re-flash my rom e.t.c. will do if absolutely needs be. Thanks. J
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] -iHackerz-:
Thanks, sorry for bothering, but I just didn't have time to read through all the posts, busy with studying, final exams :/

Hello!! I am running CM13 and it doesn't have musicfx, but it does have audiofx. Should I enable that then?

Also does musicfx just refer to the default equalizer in the ROM? So in my case its audiofx?

Btw, thanks for all that you do. Its very much appreciated!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
I've had that for awhile now. I figured it was just my hearing (I have really bad tinnitus).

My preferred setup is Viper only with Audiophile 4.0. I turn off Atmos and MusicFX. I only use Atmos for games & movies. That just seems to sound best to these old ears.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nericollin:
Thank you very much!

What do you personally prefer? 4.8.1 Redux or 4.9?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
I followed the instructions and flashed the 4.8.1 REDUX version.

I enabled audiofx for my headset, Bluetooth, and speakers. But this makes Dolby atmos + viper not work. Once I disable them, Dolby atmos and viper start working. (When I say disable, I just mean that I turn the switch for them off, the audiofx app itself is still there)

Also, the low in call volume is still there (Basically the in call volume is unadjustable).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Specifically the app MusicFX, AudioFX likely needs to be disabled but certainly experiment. :good:

No doubt, it shines best with cinematics. :good:

REDUX, hands down. Best version yet. :good:

With 6p, you might have better results with a Google based rom. This is still good news for 4.8.1 REDUX, the muted volume and in-call is priority.

My next test if REDUX failed was to remove these three files:

/system/lib/soundfx/libvpt51wrapper.so

/system/lib/soundfx/libvptwrapper.so

/system/lib/soundfx/libxloudwrapper.so

And also remove the library and effects entries for those. I can make a zip to do that if the manual method is more than you're comfortable doing. :good:

That might help your low volume issue but it may be rom related as well.

Edit*

You also might check your /sdcard/TweakProp folder and copy these lines and add to your build.prop:

sony.support.effect=0x1FF

ro.semc.xloud.supported=true

persist.service.xloud.enable=1

ro.semc.clearaudio.supported=true

persist.service.clearaudio.enable=1

ro.semc.clearphase.supported=true

persist.service.clearphase.enable=1

ro.somc.sforce.supported=true

persist.service.sforce.enable=1

Save changes and reboot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nericollin:
Will report back soon! For those wondering, I'm running Pure Nexus (4/07 version) the Nexus 6p.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
Okay so I will flash that zip, + add those entries to my build prop and report back.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Add those lines to REDUX.

Try REDUX #2 without those lines first. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] D-m-x:
This Low Call Volume thing on the 6P is a nasty Bug :/

I appreciate the work you're doing to solve this, it's great to have a dedicated Dev trying to solve these Problems. Imho Viper has been a mess since Kit Kat, it was way better before, almost every device could run it out of the Box.

Please so Report back if you got it working guys, I've tried countless versions myself but this would never work on anything else than 4.8

I'm not sure but i think there is still an driver in it.I compare to the ViperAtmos SonyBeats driverless.(don't have that folder)

I see it in System-Priv-app -Viper4Android-lib-arm-lib4AJniUtils.so. that's the driver right?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're very welcome man! :good:

The actual developers didn't help the current situation any by limiting 2.4.0.1 compatibility to NEON and x86 devices with an inferior driver either. I may abandon 5.x altogether with the next update once I am satisfied with REDUX's global compatibility.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No, the drivers are in the assets folder when exploring the apk. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] colinmcg71:
Just flashed REDUX #2 over REDUX and the in-call volume is still fixed at a low level.

Music sounds absolutely awesome though.

Thanks for all your efforts trying to get this finicky 6P working.

Next stop - flash stock rom, root, flash V4A and check call volume.

But i don't see that folder in ViperAtmos 4.8 driverless

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Hey [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] - wanted to pop my head in briefly to say that neither 4.8.1TP REDUX nor the #2 you've just uploaded are working for me - same 'dolphin clicks' instead of any audio whatsoever.

It's not quite no audio, it's not quite low volume - it's like the audio is all translated into these high-frequency, quickly repeating clicks, the rate of which seems to fluctuate depending on the audio playing. No idea what to make of this. Back to 4.8.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] unibombz:
I am using ViPERAudio_4.8_Sony_Beats_Edition.zip

It's working great... what's the best way to increase overall speaker volume (to get it louder) and or headset speaker volume ?

Increase > max gain? Max output ? output gain ? Limit Threshold ? combination of all of them or one specific ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] omvir:
Adding the lines to redux didn't help with the volume issue.

Redux 2 didn't help either. But I just noticed that Spotify audio is not processing with viper and Dolby any more. Only the stock cm music player works now lol

I'm fastboot flashing latest Google factory images today on my N5, and will have to reflash V4A. What would be the best current version to flash? 4.8.1 has been working fine, but want the latest and greatest if one of these newer versions is better. Thanks.

You know how you're your own worst enemy sometimes lol? I totally thought that had tested a voice call this morning but apparently not... I borked my own volume this time.

I just flashed Redux #3 and while it does sound great, I cannot delete any of the 4 Audiophile profiles from the Profiles folder (I use my own for a few different devices). I've tested on a few others that I just made and all those delete just fine. Tried to delete the contents of Audiophiles to see if it was something with the folder structure, but even those don't delete. :confused: Tried with both Root Explorer and Solid Explorer and both failed to delete.

Just checked and all delete fine from /sdcard and /data/media/legacy.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Voice sounds good, but I never had problems with that. Not sure of that is a 6P specific thing, but mine is a 6-proper.

Deleted fine from /data/media/legacy (reboot and were still in /storage/emulated/0), but wouldn't from /sdcard nor storage/emulated/0/. Rebooted and they were still in those 2 locations, but not in /data/media/legacy. But also were still in /storage/emulated/0. Ended up having to delete them from /data/media/0/ViPER4Android. It was the /0/ that made all the difference.

Maybe not include them as part of the package since the "normal" user will probably freak out before they figure out how to remove them and then start complaining about how you somehow write-locked their storage with an non-removable file.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
OMG what is this sorcery?!? :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
I know right. Relying on someone reading before they freak.

Finally someone who listens to some of the similar music I do. Just subbed to your playlist. :highfive: I've been creating one, well 3 actually, with the same genre. It's broken into 3rds for the Come Up, Climax and Bring Down. We were young once, so it should make sense. I've got 1 and 2 done, still working on 3, so I might poach some from your list. I also listen to some pop and a lot of blues, so I'm pretty rounded. In fact just this morning I was listening to the Grateful Dead and then by lunch, some Slayer both of which I have seen in concert. This is why I have a vested interest in these packages, because my job affords me the chance to listen to music all day. Just cause I wear a suit, doesn't mean I have stick up my can. :p
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
Sweet deal. Yeah, steal some from the list. I'm always adding to it. In fact, I have a bunch on my thumbs up that I haven't added yet.

I'm pretty much all over the place, too. This is my most listened to playlist because I need it while I sit at work all day and mine for data :eek:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
OK, that's great news as it's isolated to Android N on the Nexus 6 in that case. :good: I just added voice communication { from the N image on the very bottom of /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf to see if that restores it. I haven't tested handset yet just Bluetooth voice calls and 1-3 have failed so far on N. I haven't tested this fourth edit yet.

Point taken on Audiophile inclusion. It was more of a test as I thought I had figured out why I had problems the past while bundling it. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jesssiii:
Couldn't get it to install. The actual viper apk I mean. Flashed, tried changing permission, rebooting, manual install. Nope. Back to my boring old simple VIPER4MM zip I got from the dirty unicorn op. It does work.

Hey bruh!:highfive:

Just tested 4.8.1TP-Redux_3 runnin latest DU MOB30D 6.0.1 MM on Nexus 5.

I ran it with & without your audio_policy.conf tweaks, both ways still suffer from the fixed audio output level bug, adjusting volume still has no effect.

I did find though, the in call sound quality(on both ends) and the in call volume level, to be much cleaner and louder with your tweaks to audio_policy.conf included.

(Above tests were done using ear piece and loud speaker, also using Sony XBA-2 wired headphones)

As for the music sound quality, it is pretty close to spot on with the 4.9 build, same nice crispy highs, clean bass response and both seem to sound better when using Atmos enhancement than previous 4.8 builds.:good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Tex99:
Thank you for this hard work, all my compliments man, your perseverance is admirable :)

This is just my experience: I tried 4.8.1 and 4.8.1 TP Redux 3. With the second one, the sound is very clear, really impressive, but the power of the sound is lower than old 4.8.1 (in the same room and same video on YouTube, with 4.8.1 I used 1.5/4 of media volume, with redux 3/4 of media volume). Also redux 3 has a very strong surround, of course is good for music, but don t like it when I see a video on YouTube (review or gamplelay etc..).

This is just my thought, and thank you again for this excellent thread :)

You just need to flash the zip. If you're experiencing a persistent install driver prompt you may need to delete /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf and reboot. Disable MusicFX and check for sufficient /system space available.

No, I literally mean the actual viper apk goes to system/private app, but it's not in my app drawer. Never had that issue, puzzling. It's OK, for now I'm going back to the older version I had been using until the in-call volume bug gets squashed. Thanks so much for all your work on this!
