You might try flashing the Original libeffectproxy Switcher in the OP attachments section over your phone's current state.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
I have equalizier switched to stock in the black player :\. I just tried Power Amp, same issue. I think its the rom or kernel =(!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
A rom change was precisely going to be my next suggestion. What phone?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
its Samsung Galaxy S4 using JDC team AOSP 5.1.1. r34

ah man this rom is perfect!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
I think this might have been already asked here, but why can't I save any profile? It just doesn't get saved, no matter what and when I click on Load effect profile, only the Audiophile profiles that I manually placed in v4a folder seems to show up. I'm on CM13 (motog) and I've tried switching storage permission OFF and then ON, with no avail. I'm on the V4A|DD+ Sony Beats v5.0

Here at xda, people hit the Thanks button ? for showing their gratitude. What a strange place! ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Is there a carrier specific thread I should check out? I'll take a quick look at the current offerings if you link me to the Android Development section that you frequent.

A rom is perfect when ViPER|Atmos™ functions without issue.

Lol, just kidding, it was too tempting! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
No you're right lol Viper Atmos makes it perfect a rom! thats what I meant :P. Yeah i just inboxed you a message so you ccan check it out.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Try saving with Storage Permissions turned off. You might also try deleting the com.viper folder from /data/data of absolutely nothing seems to work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Turning off Storage permission resulted in the Audiophile profiles not showing up and couldn't save a new one as well. You meant this folder? com.vipercn.viper4android_v2

Here at xda, people hit the Thanks button ? for showing their gratitude. What a strange place! ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Right. Did you try saving again with Storage Permissions back On after trying with them turned Off? Do you know what your working v4a directory is?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Hey [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], Here's my working setup with my Lover of Sound Profiles 5.2:

ViPERAudio 5.2.1 Dark Sony Beats Edition - Permissive

Once again, the only changes from ViPERAudio Sony Beats 5.2.1 are the replacement of the stock V4A APK with the Material Dark version, and the removal of the su.d folder and its entry from the updater script, for use with devices with an outside solution for Permissive Selinux, such as an init.d script or the Selinux Mode Changer app.

To clarify: If you have Enforcing Selinux this will not operate properly. If you already have Permissive Selinux set up on your device, or if your device has problems with supolicy scripts (as mine does), this should work excellently for you.

I've removed Atmos (rebased on just ViPERAudio) in this version as it was introducing severe popping, skipping and even slowdown to my sound, which may be an issue unique to my device but it's not one I'm willing to tolerate. Atmos only really adds some volume and clarity to midrange and vocals, experientially, for me anyway, and the latest Lover of Sound Profiles easily compensate. I was also tired of having to mess with Memory Locker to keep Atmos from dying every time I started literally any other app besides it, Spotify and V4A.

Cheers,

--Sonophilos the Lover of Sound
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Yes, currently turned on. But profiles are not showing up even after swiping app away from Recent apps and relaunching. Profiles are saved in /data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android/Profile

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Since you were the first to provide content for the User Area Content I will always give you the choice of being at the very top or very bottom. It's copied, just let me know where you want it. :good:

You could try flashing the package again or deleting app data from /data/data or from v4a's App Info page. But first, ensure that ViPER4Android and Profile folders in those locations have 0775 permissions, not 0755. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
I did what this said, headset seems to be set fine, but when applying the speaker profile to the other tabs, nothing is checked/set... Is that the intended effect? Also, should Atmos be used with this profile?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Both profiles use the Headset tab only. That is why both Profiles need to be locked be locked to the Headset effect mode in v4a's menu. I knew it would be confusing and the only way to stop everyone in their tracks was to have everything blank and unchecked on the other tabs lol! :good:

Just keep Lock Effect Mode to Headset at all times.

Switch between profiles accordingly using the Headset tab. No headphones? Change profile to Sonophilos-Speakers from the Headset tab. Headphones? Switch profile to Sonophilos-Headohones from Headset tab. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Ah, I get it. Is there a way to automate this with Tasker?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I just tested and something seems amiss. When you select Sonophilos-Speakers is DDC still enabled?

The Tasker profile possible would be ridiculous lol. The only way would be to watch the phone do the touch inputs for you haha!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Done all of that except the flashing part. No change, Audiophile profiles show up, can't create anything new. The permission were different, as you had mentioned and I did change them to 0775. As for flashing, I've been flashing the same package for the previous 3 nightlies, no change.

Here at xda, people hit the Thanks button ? for showing their gratitude. What a strange place! ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
DDC isn't enabled for either profile for me. Do I need to unlock before switching profiles? I'm not sure I see anything changing when I switch.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I realized disabling Lock Effect Mode between switching profiles made it work every time and added to the readme instructions about to appear in the User Content attachments section when your new post appears. Is there a 5.2.1 zip or are you using the 5.2 zip from the attachments section?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
I posted a ViPERAudio 5.2.1 zip on the previous page, I was just about to update all my posts to make sure they have the correct attachments.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Alright man, you're all set! Be sure to download the new profile zip with better instructions for your sharing purposes. :good:

I'm about to change the attachment on my post a couple pages back.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Isn't disabling the lock then loading the profile then enabling the lock more taps than just loading the profile twice?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I tried that and it did not take on the second tap. I tried several times in fact, enough to make me double check the profiles I saved.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Weird. Yet another uniquely-my-device issue. Maybe I should get out of this modding business lest one of my issues become someone else's brick...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] krillehb:
loudness very low

I used to have Viper 2.3.4.0 aio fix which i found somewhere here at XDA (but i can`t remember where...) and it was working perfect on any rom. Full bass, sound was clear and loud.

So i thought it would be a nice idea to try the newest V4A from this thread but the sound was very low with headset, poos bass.....

Can someone tell me, why this can happen ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Any ideas, someone?

You've done a great job and have a unique profile setup that will be very familiar and comfortable for the user after a couple days usage. Go to bed knowing you've done fantastic!

You try any profiles or settings? I think I have a copy of what you were seeking.

Did you delete data?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Yep, deleted v4a folder in /data/data after clearing app data from App info, as well. Hope I'm not adding to my woe-list, but Convolver also seems to be no longer working. It used to (or at least until v5 update), but I usually have it turned off. But even after installing v4a apk again, to make it a data app as well, convolver just doesn't work.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Try working with sonophilos Lover of Sound profiles and see if they show up in v4a's menu.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Man, I would probably wipe system, dirty flash your ROM and install 5.2.1 all in one session. What was the last version to work properly for you?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
But I don't have a problem with Profiles placed in the v4a working folder, as I told, Audiophile profiles can be loaded. I just can't create new ones.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'm sorry, I assumed they were moved there a long time ago. I just was curious if anything would show up in v4a's menu after placing next to Audiophile™ is all.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
Probably gonna do that with my next nightly flash. As for the last working version, actually I don't remember, deleted old ones, must have been the one just before v5.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mervluk:
Might be irrelevant, but with moto g CM13, I had an old problem with a much earlier version of the mod that I couldn't write profiles to my active V4A folder, despite all the permissions being correct. I sorted it by renaming the folder with a .bak, then creating a new folder with the original name in the same location and reinstalling the extracted zip of the profiles in the OP. Since then I've had no problems with creating or adding profiles.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Stylez Ray.:
How about also fixing the low volume problem some people have? Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64707015&postcount=22

I had the problem and this fixed it, and V4A and Pulse are still working. Maybe just edit your file inside the zip so people don't have to edit it by hand every time they flash?!

Try to set permissions of the "kernel" and "profile" folders as 777. It helped in my case.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Riddlah:
I actually started having this issue when I updated my kernel (Elite) to the latest test version and updated to 5.2. To fix the slow down in music I had to either change my CPU govenor (previously using pmc) or increase the minimum clock speed to 652MHz.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I'll make a Dolby Atmos™ installer just for you after I catch up with addressing everything posted while asleep. :good:

ViPER|Atmos™ 5.2.1 Sony™ Beats™ Edition

That version now has the ViPER Version Info.txt like the other versions now. And it even says 5.2.1DU! Lol, I know it means nothing but is more for continuity. :good:

My absolute pleasure! I couldn't take watching you guys have to do so much when it should be a piece of cake! :good:

Thank you for providing some extra information! :good:

I'll take a look at that here in a bit after I'm caught up with everything this morning. Thanks for sharing! :good:

Fantastic! Glad you got it sorted! :good:

Thank you very much for the report and I'm glad everything is working as it should! :good:

Volume in an out or something? Sorry, a lot of activity so I'm trying to remember your issue.

It posed quite a bit of compatibility issues for others. ViPER|Audio™ is always evolving so there will likely be more stuff to test. The stuff that will remain is stuff that does not affect compatibility in a negative manner. :good:

My pleasure man! :good:

Good tip! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
After taking a look, this is absolutely better handled by the end user. I have a strict standard of not modifying stock files and entries on your devices that are not necessary. I have never experienced this low volume speaker issue for notifications and ringtones, if anything, they can be too loud which is a common report I get as well. I know this isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but everything I do while putting together this mod is while taking your phone's current state into account, never my phone. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jimbus369:
With some tracks like "Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits in Flac 872 Kbps" the last 50 seconds on the guitar solo, my audio becomes strange and one side of headset ceases to function... But when I deactivate V4A all works well. Without Atmos Surround this problem is reduced but not disappears... It's so frustrating! :( I have tried with different V4A settings but nothing changes... Thanks alot for your help! :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
These sound great, using the 2nd one. I do add BBEgeneric2 irs, I feel it adds a good bass punch which I like. For those that feel they have low volume, look for "Studer +3dB w NoiseReduction Updated" irs, it also sounds good and adds quite a lot of volume.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's a serious problem as Sultans of Swing has some serious guitar work. Your kernel may simply be giving up towards the end, ending up on its knees next to Wayne and Garth. Sorry, old people humor there, you young ones likely have no idea what I'm talking about lol! I wonder how it would perform with Monte Montgomery's acoustic version of Sultans of Swing? I'm sure you've heard that before.

I know it sounds crazy, but I would try a different source file. I download nothing but FLAC and not all rips are created equal. There may be some hardware issues during the rip of that track that are simply exaggerated by the v4a processing. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mannyalba:
ViPER|Atmos™ 5.2.1 Sony™ Beats™ Edition, I don't see this one exactly in the OP, I see ViPERAtmos 5.2.1 Sony Beats Edition.zip - (6.99 MB, 358 views), is it the same? [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Jimbus369:
Yes, I'm too young for this humor XD! But the guitar solo in sultans of swing is the Heaven, maybe my Kernel not feel worthy to reproduce this! I have a similar problem with other FLAC and MP3 files. Some Paramore's tracks in MP3 320Kbps have a similar problem (also in some Ac/Dc tracks in FLAC 973 Kbps, But in Sultans of Swing is more evident.), the audio reduces from one side... I don't know how to describe this issue... With Monte Montgomery Sultans of Swing (EPIC! :good: ) I don't have this problem but I don't have a FLAC file for testing with music app XD! Can be a Kernel problem, then? Or it's V4A? I am really sorry for my english! ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Exactly the same. Some phones don't appreciate the special characters so I leave them out of the zip name. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
While I like Sultans of Swing, I find that Money For Nothing has a better launch into the guitar riff after a decent skin pounding intro. Plus one of the better music videos of all time. And ya, I'm showing my age as well. If anyone wants to hear it, Money For Nothing by Dire Straights. Guitar pulls in about 1:46 into the song.

Remember, it was the 80's. A time of excess, radical clothing, sonic experimentation and an apex in technology. It was awesome!!!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Hold up! I'm glad you mentioned DU because I have a package specifically for DU users! :good:

Those packages will always have DU at the end of the version number. Go to the OP attachments section, download 5.2.1DU, and flash with no wipes. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Yeah, you truly earned the hero portion of your handle with these DU zips man! Used it this morning without wipes - if anyone does have any issues, disable Pulse and turn it back on.

In your latest atmos zip, is the profile you posted already in it or does that have to be loaded into it?

Also for anyone else, how do we download a profile zip and then place it in viper? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It causes way too many issues when I include Audiophile™ into the installation so the Audiophile™ profile zip will always need to be downloaded and extracted. The Audiophile™ 2.0 zip contains both Audiophile™ profiles so just work with that one.

Save any open v4a tab as a new profile named "Stock" or something that will be easy to soot when you see it. Search through the possible working v4a directories until you find that newly saved profile. When you find it hit back so that you are looking at the Profile and possibly Kernel folders if you've already selected Expert UI Setting from v4a's menu.

Go to the extracted Audiophile™ zip folder and copy the Profile and Kernel folder and merge them into the working v4a directory. Compare permissions to the "Stock" folder and contents and set the permissions if needed. :good:

Edit*

I apologize for not seeing the post you quoted but the method remains the same. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
I'm using a completely stock kernel - the only modifications were those for init.d, unsecured boot and Permissive Selinux. I've even tested on a bone stock ROM. hima is just a special case I think.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

The latest zip does not include Atmos and I don't recommend the use of Atmos as it was persistently causing problems on my device. The latest ViPERAudio 5.2.1 Dark Sony Beats Edition Permissive I posted does not include profiles - you'll need to download the Lover of Sound Profiles 5.2.1 separately and unzip them.

Go into V4A, create and save a profile with a name you'll recognize and go find where it saves - probably /storage/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android or /sdcard/ViPER4Android. Make sure you only have that folder in one of those locations (no duplicates) and merge the /Profiles folder in the profile zip with the /Profiles folder where your working profile saved. Then close V4A from the switcher, reopen it and it should see the Profiles you added - reboot if not.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mannyalba:
Ok, Flashed DU zip, rebooted but I can't see /data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android or /storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android in order to load the profile I want, what is going on? do i have to do it manually? is it correctly instaled/flashed?

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5079472]sonophilos[/MENTION] Firstly, the 5.2.1 profile zip won't open, but the 5.2 one is fine. Second, I'm trying to wrap my head around the need for two profiles and having to switch between them based on Headset vs Other as your listening device. Why can't one profile contain the proper XML for each of the 4 tabs? I'm sure I'm just not understanding some fundamental function of V4A here, but currently in my head it seems that it would be easier to just make the one profile that sets all 4 tabs correctly. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Save a profile with a unique name and see where it is saved. That will be your working v4a directory. :good:

5.2.1 won't open? Quote the particular post so I can download it and see. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Hmm, they work now. I downloaded a couple times before and they wouldn't open, downloaded again from your post in the thread and from post #2 and both worked fine now. I'm wondering if being such a small file lends itself to possibly being corrupt when downloading?

Also, any thoughts/comments on the multiple profiles question? Thanks again for all your work.
