Latest chroma ROM, latest viper everything is working but I have problems with aux & headphones hooked up while playing Google music using data, the music plays for less than 60sec. It abruptly stops while playing.

Anyone have the same problem
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Davil_79:
I think it is really sad that Viper is so buggy.:(

Not being able to use screen mirroring with Chromecast is a dealbreaker for me. Too bad, Viper fixes really good sound quality on my Nexus 6.

If anyone has a solution to the problem with Chromecast I would be very grateful for help.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
Viper4Android is affecting screen mirroring? I don't have an issue.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Davil_79:
With viper4android installed and If I use "cast screen" it's directly disconnected:

"casting screen to xxxx has ended"

If I do a full wipe and flash the same ROM and kernel but not viper4android it's no problem at all with cast screen with Chromecast. I have tried Chroma ROM and another ROM with the same results.

If you google it you will see what I'm not the only one who has this problem :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] angiest:
Are you using these zips? I think that's an issue with them. If you just install the apks, Chromecast seems to work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
Correct. I'm just installing the apks from the v4a website. Make sure selinux is set to permissive and disable nuplayer and they should work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] angiest:
Works fine with NuPlayer on 5.1.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] raptoro07:
I have had it work either way as well. I don't know if that is important but I do know some of the CM based ROMs don't work as easily.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Davil_79:
Yepp, I use these zips! I will reflash my ROM and then only the apk and see if it will be a success! Thanks for your replies!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Viper is amazing!!! Much thanks!!!!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Davil_79:
Now viper4android works just great with chromecast!

I just can't understand why there is these zip-crap in this thread first post?

All we need is to install viper4android apk and SELinux set to permessive and that's it :).

Thanks guys for your help!!

Can someone confirm if Viper can modify my speaker/bluetooth headset/call ringer volume to a louder volume on the Nexus 6??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abbz123:
Also had an odd thing happening.. Music playback speed was lagging and then speeding up throughout songs as if my processor was being maxed out. Nexus 6p custom rom/kernel tweaked might be why.. Will have to troubleshoot more.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] emiliobadillio:
Enabling it didn't make any difference. Updated busy box but no change as well
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Not sure if I follow. How does deleting that file allow v4a to survive a dirty flash? Do I need to do something to the rom zip? Here's my addon folder.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's really odd. I typically use stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] OmarUdave:
volume is too high

you must configure something?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My apologies, I interpreted your question the other way. If it doesn't survive then it likely was wiped from /system by the rom installation or by a rom's own backup script.

Likely from the Dolby app. Open and turn off Volume Leveler.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
OK. Before your fantastic mods in this thread, I had a version of v4a that survived dirty rom flashes. All my other user and system apps survive (kernel is only thing that doesn't), so I assumed it was doable. Not a big deal to reflash.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Zip up your file and attach it to a reply and I'll take a look.

Even with all those other backup scripts? I would read each one as text and see which is the most aggressive one.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sTIMulat3:
I get "Error executing updater binary" again on Zenfone 2 and I can't fix it this time.

I used to be able to just use a different updater-binary to fix it, but with the latest version 4.2.1 I get that error no matter which updater-binary I use.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mario_fernando_Fernandez:
Thanks , attached file.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] emiliobadillio:
I fixed it and it is now processing while playing music again. I remember reading someone's post here a while ago about the system and vendor folders.

I simply copied the audio conf file from /system/etc and pasted it into /vendor/etc from twrp and it worked!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
This is so embarrassing...

Edit∆∆*******

4.3 is now using the Super Quality Driver to correct an oversight from I don't even know when. The Power Saving Driver file size is the exact same as the Super Quality Driver so somewhere along the way, it got mixed up and placed in the ViPER packages. The MD5 for the Super Quality Driver ends in "27a5" if you want to check libv4a_fx_ics.so on your device in /system/lib/soundfx.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's very odd, I have not changed update-binary nor updater-script. :confused:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's the lowest quality driver, I'm so sorry. :angel:

You can simply overwrite it with the one attached below, set permissions to 0644, and reboot. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Great job! :good:

This file was supposed to patched. Has the file name or path changed with the latest vendor img?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] adl:
Sorry to bother, what's the "viper stock" zip for / doing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ROADKING17:
Do i flash all zips that are 4.3? coming off 4.2.1.. Nexus 6p
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I've had a few requests for a pure stock ViPER4Android installation with no added effects. I think it does make sense to a pure stock package available with the conveniences of the preinstalled driver and backup script.

On 4.2.1, you can simply place the the file in the zip below into:

/system/lib/soundfx

Set file permissions to 0644 and reboot. Instant 4.3! Fortunately, this should sound like an update as the Super Quality driver certainly sounds better than Power Saving driver. I feel better about it because earlier today, I noticed that it seemed the sound quality had regressed suddenly for some reason.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
System/lib/soundfx directory is currently empty. Does that make sense? Should I still copy the driver there?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lynnux:
I had the lower quality driver, too. Good that you can admit mistakes so easily, fix them, and move on.

I really like the DD+. I also like enforcing. So I have both. DD+ fc's whenever you make changes, but the change sticks, so it works for me, especially once I've got it where I want it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abbz123:
Zip corrupt? Can't open to place file
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
This is getting crazier with each post lol! That's crazy because you have several stock device files there. Which version did you flash last. Are you sure you are not looking in /system/vendor/lib/soundfx?

I constantly make mistakes providing almost unlimited learning opportunities lol! I'm glad you got it going the way you want! I obviously can't recommend such a thing to the masses but I love how you guys figure out ways to force your will upon your devices! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Lol, I'm in the Twilight Zone!!

Sorry, I couldn't help but expound upon my previous post lol.

Root Explorer?

Long press libv4a_fx_ics.so.zip and press Extract All. Navigate to extracted folder and copy the file over to /system/lib/soundfx, set permissions to 0644, and reboot. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Ignore this.. User error. Was able to copy, set to 644 and all is good
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What about the other files? We're you originally looking in vendor? I need to make sure I'm not deleting that folder which is why I want to know.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You should have the files and more in /system/lib/soundfx

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
[MENTION=4556428]lazer77[/MENTION] The Pulse™ zip I attached earlier for you contained the Power Saver driver instead of the Super Quality driver. The zip below contains the Super Quality driver. :good:

My sincerest apologies. :angel:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
How dare you!

I kid.. Haven't flashed anyway, yet. ;)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You weren't singled out, I inadvertently lowered the sound quality for the entire community! Smdh...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Accidents happen man. You've been going crazy helping others and updating the packages. Probably my fault driving you crazy with Pulse lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Yes, that is what my directory looks like, i was originally in the wrong tool. Sorry for the confusion
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TexasRules777:
So the 4.3 in the op has the updated drivers?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Yes, updated to Super Quality.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] blueren:
Looks like I flashed v4axhifiDd+ over my previously existing viper|atmos. Now I have 2 sets of both apps. If I flash over the previous zip, will it revert?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] IaKnightHawke:
Wish I could be as grateful for your admission of fault about the sound driver mixup. Your suggested fix did not work at all for me. I have gotten xhifi working but thus far the main ViPER program is not processing and shows an abnormal install. My last option is to again do a clean install of my Rom. Yes, I tried the copy of the fixed driver and yes, I did an install of your 4.3 Atmos edition. Both separately of course.

Edit: First, I wrote this last post at 2:15 this morning after reading about the driver mixup at about midnight before I was to be going to bed.

Second, I learned a couple of things about Viper/Atmos and Xhifi installs that may save someone else some time. Follow the suggested install steps carefully. Next; Xhifi needs busybox to be installed correctly. ViperFX needs to have SELinux Mode set to Permissive in order to operate correctly. Finally, when you get bottled up and tired you are prone to forget important things; something like the solider throwing the pin from the LIVE grenade he now holds in his OTHER hand. I recalled the SELinux step after putting down the phone and turning over to try to sleep. Everything working fine now. Thank You.

My Setup: LG G3 VS985 variant, CM 13 w/ 777 Kernel, Rooted, Xposed installed.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazumo:
I have an interesting issue with my install of ViperAtmos. I've tried several different versions, and read thread after thread of various tweaks and fixes, but I've yet to find a solution. I'm on a Samsung Note 5 running 5.1.1 modified stock with custom SkyHigh kernel, SELinux permissive. Right now I'm using your 1.1 version of tge Rehear/ViperAtmos bundle. Just before this I tried the Project Desire bundle and had this same issue, which is as follows... Basically, everything seems to install just fine. And it sounds good right off the bat... But Viper won't seem process to any music (without using FX Compatible mode) that isn't either from a 48000 source (whether it's native or upsamped by the player.) Games process without any issue, MX Player is processed, Neutron resamples, so it works fine.. And then Spotify works if I turn on FX Compatible mode. But Poweramp, for example, only process when the file is 48k output, nothing at 41k. However! There's a catch. On the Samsung Note 5 there is a sound option called UHQ that upsamples, and if I enable that Viper will kick in. The problem with that, and actually with any audio file I manage to process, is that it causes this little crackling static that you can hear just below everything else. It doesn't happen with UHQ or anything until I start adding the sound mods. I'm about to try the latest ViperAtmosDD+ and see if it's any different (Flashed fresh today and have a nandroid backup from just prior to installing any audio mods)

Does anyone have any idea what I might do to remedy this? I'm trying to think if there's any other info... Hmm. Oh, I froze the stock Sound Alive and Adapt Sound. (Same issues whether I do this or not.) Hopefully if we can figure this out, it might help other Samsung users who have a similar issues. Excellent work, by the way... I'm using my LG G2 as backup and your ViperAtmos package sounds totally killer on it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TexasRules777:
Well I just did a clean flash of my ROM and flashed the 4.3 viperatmos beats xfi version and ended up with 2 Dolby's and 2 vipers?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:

Nexus 6P, newly flashed Pure Nexus ROM. Flashed rom, kernel, rebooted, wiped cache & dalvik, flashed ViperAtmos, wiped cache & dalvik, reboot. Get sound but nothing happens when I fiddle around in the viper apps EQ or diasbling/enabling viper4android.

Have I missed anything?

The instructions weren't clear enough for me if so ?

How can I enable Beats?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
Beats is enabled through libs there is no app, it just works in the background.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If you want to go back to ViPER|Atmos™ I recommend wiping System in TWRP and dirty flashing your rom. Or you could delete the two folders for XHiFi and DDP™, but there will still be lingering files of you don't do it per first suggestion. I don't feel comfortable removing stuff from your phone that isn't immediately replaced. If it reverted how you would like then that would mean anyone having either app on their phone already, from installing either at a different time in the past would boot up after flashing ViPER|Atmos™ and find their apps gone, if that makes sense.

Glad you got it sorted! I know precisely what you mean. :good:

I wonder of you could just uncomment the UHQ lines in /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf and get the results you're seeking.

Yes, that package has two v4a's and two dolby's. It's part of what I call the:

"Now, this is just getting stupid..."™ series.

Rename /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf until I figure out why it doesn't like the patching satisfied by the previous vendor img.

How much free /system space show to be available?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Beats will process automatically everytime you play music. If you want to confirm if beats is present go to root explorer /system/lib/soundfx and check if theres a name beats there

Can I flash ViPERAtmosXHiFiDD+ 4.3 Beats Huawei Edition over the 4.2.1 Atmos ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes, but I recommend wiping System in TWRP and dirty flashing your rom if you decide to go back to another version without every app.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] net.cat:
So the wiping and dirty flashing is required only if I want to go back after flashing the 4.3 and some problem occurs :) Thanks :good:

Hello [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], thanks for your help with my installation issues. Was finally able to install 4.2.1 Beats_Huawei zip file on my Nexus 5 last night.

Running Cataclysm (latest Marshmallow version) and ElemX (also latest). Followed these instructions to the tee:

Boot to recovery

Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache

Install > ViPER|Audio™ OR ViPER|Atmos™

Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache

Reboot

Open v4a

Menu > Show Notification (block if desired by long pressing notification)

Menu > UI Setting > Expert

Menu > Save Effect Profile > New Effect Profile > "Stock" (this will help you find your working v4a directory)

Begin playing audio file

Open v4a

Uncheck Enable v4a

Check Enable v4a

Driver staus shows not processing. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Either problems or just a desire to go back to a version with less apps like ViPER|Atmos™ for example. My install scripts only delete what will immediately be reinstalled so going back to ViPER|Atmos™ with a dirty flash will basically retain a ViPER|Atmos™|xHiFi|DD+™ installation.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What music player?

Have you disabled any stock audio effects?

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Im not in place to ask this question. But may i ask you if what music player are you using?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Change your governor to On-Demand. ;)

Fwiw, I have been using your Gryffindor-hybrid v4a layer since you released it a long time ago. Just looking at the pics above this post, I now remember what the normal v4a looks like.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Lol, no doubt!

I just checked all the packages and it's worse than thought...

The lowest quality driver has been used since before version 3.6 (the oldest version I have available to look at). I'm so sorry guys, but the bright spot is that 4.3 should seem and sound like one hell of an update! :angel:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Beautiful pics man!

You might try disabling both v4a EQ's and make sure to check the DD+™ for any undesirable default settings. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
Let's try.. As still Chroma, VrToxin Benzo in queue....
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Also, just so you guys know. The Side Project builds I did like RHR-K and Project Desire already had the Super Quality driver in the zips, I just had to add the v4a entries to the audio_effects.conf files to complete the driver pre-installation. Only my ViPER packages were affected by the inadvertent use of the Power Saving driver. My Super Quality Driver Universal zip did indeed have the Super Quality driver that was fine.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
Wow... Thanks for guiding me... As I'm using EX and FK kernels with interactive... Let's try On-Demand..as m not very good with kernel tweaks...so using almost default settings only... Highly appreciated ...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Woody:
No worries. Open the ElX app and set it to On-demand (don't forget to "set on boot"). If you have music running at the same time, you'll instantly hear the popping disappear. Unfortunately, Interactive and ElementalX govs audio policy ramps up the frequency too fast and that causes the popping and cracking.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
Done... Hope it doesn't effect battery & performances...as m a true noob in all this....

Edit: Magically popping and cracking disappeared... Thank you very much...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Syoenth:
since Dolby isnt working, can you make a installer to insyall only the Viper4android with beats and Huawei drivers please?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
For anyone interested, here is my working install package.

ViPERAudio 4.3 Material Dark - Beats Huawei Edition (Permissive)

Only changes to 4.3 are the readdition of the Material Dark v4a, it wasn't causing any issues for me since 3.6, and the removal of the su.d policy, which was causing problems with my setup which has an outside solution for Permissive Selinux. As such this package should only be flashed by users with Permissive Selinux (built in, or set via init.d or Selinux Mode Changer on boot).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Viper|Audio™ 4.3 Beats™ Huawei™ Edition already in the OP attachments section. I try to provide a package for all different preferences. Also, looks like [MENTION=5079472]sonophilos[/MENTION] just shared his personal build of the new edition you're seeking! So, now you have two to choose from! :good:
