I normally go between Samsung Music for my local media and Play Music for streaming through my all access subscription.

When it was working this time, it was Play Music. Paused it for maybe 30 seconds, and could instantly tell something was off after because the volume was a lot lower.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What did the Driver Status say at that time, do you remember?

I'm sorry, I see you had answered that earlier

Are you Permissive or Enforcing?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Yeah, driver was normal, everything looked great. The only quirk I noticed was with Convolver. I could hear it applying slightly with each one I tried, but they were all very minor and unlike TEKHD's ROM, actually made the audio quieter.

I'm running SkyHigh 4.2 kernel, and it is set to permissive.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mervingio:
LGV10
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
So weird, you might try umcommenting all the build.prop lines added by the zip except for these four:

lpa.decode=false

lpa.releaselock=false

lpa.use-stagefright=false

tunnel.decode=false

That's what I walked out with. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
You mean add a # in front of all but these 4?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Right. What version did you install?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
The first 5.3 test build you created this morning.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Changing the libeffectproxy.so might help you.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
No luck.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Poloasis:
When you say added files, what are their functions, where are they located and how to install them?

Thanks for your help bro. Appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Are you the one that shared the sephhi all zip? It only has those four build.prop lines and audio_effects.conf files and an audio_policy.conf file. You might back up your current audio_policy.conf and try the one in that zip. Be sure to change its permissions to 0644 before rebooting. Do the same for the audio_effects.conf files if still not working. It's crazy how unsuccessful this has been, but I really do appreciate your persistence. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's mostly low power audio disabling, awesome player enabler, and deep buffer bypass. The lines are added in /system/build.prop. When I first started this I had six lines and I quickly removed them because I sensed they did more harm than good. I started testing again with DU Pulse™ to see if it made it more consistent and then had a zip shared with me that helped a user in the past so I wanted to try the lines again to see if it helped anyone not having luck in the past. I just don't know at this point. :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]. Hey man. Its been a long time. Anyways im on 5.2 version. So just flash the 5.3 over and its all done? Thanks for keeping upto date and have a nice day.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Yep, that's me. And thank you for working on this so hard! I'm off to bed for the night, but I'll start fresh in the morning.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Hey man! As aways, just flash away! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Yes, the line is at the very bottom of build.prop and generally added directly in the ROM source for ROMs that provide it, the line is: "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" - the only other thing required for tethering to work, which I cannot imagine this mod would affect, is that if you open SQLite editor and head to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, then Global, Add string, Setting.db = it should be "Tether_dun_required

Value=0"

As I said. I can't see this mod touching the SQLite portion of tethering mod, but just providing that info as it's literally the only other part of it other than build.prop edit. I would assume simply just adding that "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" string to the buid.prop portion of your zip would fix the tethering disabling, though. Thanks again for making the dream zip a reality by the way - I've been attempting to get this to a one-flash process with full normal mode usability and aux usability literally since Lollipop dropped, so I quite appreciate you finally making it happen.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mozelstein:
I'm on rooted stock, BTW. The build.prop tethering provision check fix I added in manually myself.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evilryry:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ygo5m19s7ih8e74/Viper_AIO_Test2_TetherFix.zip?dl=0

Placed at bottom of BP edit script. Still have no idea why it would delete it or why it's necessary to put it in a viper zip lol but there's always a good grounds for a safety net just in case
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] wrongway213:
Awesome. Very nice contribution to the N6 community man! Much appreciated! Will test for myself when I am on a ROM that does not have V4A baked in already (later tonight after business hours) but I imagine this should fix it right up!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mozelstein:
I haven't tried this new archive yet but I did notice that the "misc" file in the archive from the OP has the tethering workaround in it. I'm not super informed as to how programming works on the system yet but seems odd that it's there.

Of note: I restored and then flashed the viper flash from the OP and it also broke tethering so it wasn't just your archive. It was something you inherited. :good:

I'm not sure where to go from here.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evilryry:
I added the tether line in the misc file for the new zip I made, just to see if it was being deleted from the build prop somehow that it would be put back. Realistically though, there's no reason even the first zip I made would break tethering. Nothing in the zip touches anything related to tether, so I don't know why it would mess yours up. but just in case like I said the tether line is there just in case.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mozelstein:
Ah sorry, I didn't see that kal has updated the OP. I guess he changed it to include your fix zip.

I wonder if I remove the tethering entry to my build.prop before I flash would make any difference? I'm pretty confused.

If I stick the .apk in privapp it works in compatability mode but I don't think it'll get me the sounds over bluetooth that you fixed. Are the entries to build.prop that fix? Maybe I could manually add them after I insert the .apk?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] urnamese3:
Thanks a lot for providing all the zips with the fixes! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] 530farm:
So should we flash both zips in the OP now? First the v4a and then the aio-fix?

Edit: nvm, looks like just flash the AIO-fixes zip.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
Worked like a charm. No tether issues to report. So nice to have V4A back.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Much thanks!!!!! :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] defvayne:
Anyone have the issue where one side of the stereo speakers was louder (bottom)? Searched but found no similar Q's
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Raijin:
Flashing this means we won't have to change SELinux to permissive? I'd like a lot to try Viper, but I'm a bit paranoid about security.

By the way I see in the script that the modified is supolicy, not sepolicy... maybe a writing error.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
Thats what it does. You can keep your enforcing status. All it does is allow permissive for media server. Supolicy is correct. Check your file system. Not sure why its like that, but it works.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] WhammyDroid:
All,

I've flash the Viper AIO zip file, installed the driver within the app, and rebooted the device. After rebooting the device, the V4A driver is not sticking.

What am I missing?

Edit: The v4a sepolicy fix did it! Thanks [MENTION=4265430]stumpy352[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] buschris:
the kernel has to be permissive in order for V4A to work. I don't understand why people are always crying about security. Do you leave your wallet out in the open in public?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] romdroid.:
Does this fix the white noise issue with the speakers while the battery is under 20-25%?

How do I know if I've got a permissive kernel? I am on Franco kernel atm
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] WhammyDroid:
That is not true as the zip file stumpy proves. It changes the permissions for the media server while keeping the rest of the kernel in enforced mode. I'm running the elementalx kernel with sepolicy enforced.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
Same. Although I'm using chroma ROM, which already has the sepolicy fix for media server built in, so no need for the zip here. ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] romdroid.:
Well, can someone tell me if franco kernel supports this mod or no? Do I need to downlod SElinux app?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] leblvin:
Hello all!

I'm at my wits end, so I'm asking for help. Here's what I did so far:

- Complete wipe of my Nexus 5X (everything including data, system, recovery, etc.)

- Flashed the latest stock firmware (MMB29Q).

- Installed TWRP 3.0.0.0.

- Rooted with SuperSU 2.65

- Installed Busybox in /su/xbin

- Rebooted to recovery

- Format Cache and Dalvik/ART cache

- Flashed ViPERAtmos_5.3_Stock.zip

- Disabled MusicFX in Settings > Apps

- Enabled Storage permission for Viper

- Opened Viper

- Enabled notification and set UI to Expert

- Saved Effect Profile

- Started Spotify

- Started to play some music

- Open Viper

- Can't uncheck "Enable" as it is already uncheked

- Check "Enable" in the Bluetooth section (my headset is Bluetooth)

If I check the Driver status,

NEON : Enabled

Status : Normal

Audio Format : Supported

Processing : No

I made no other modification; stock kernel, not xposed, still SELinux Enforcing.

Any idea?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Anytime man, and I'm not too far behind you lol!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Have you tried a reboot yet?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] leblvin:
Just did, and repeated the disable, enable cycle, to no avail =(.

I tried with the phone's speaker too, same problem.

I tried with version 5.2.1 Atmos at first and it didn't work, but I thought I'd give 5.3 a try before posting.

Just to be sure : could the install location of Busybox be responsible? Are there settings to change in Developper options?

Also, should I enable or disable the main switch in Dolby Atmos?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No, BusyBox just aids ViPER4Android in writing its library and effect entries I believe. Sounds stupid but have you tried wiping dalvik and cache? When you go to Equalizer in Play Music's settings what app options are you given?

Leave Dolby Atmos™ alone until you get v4a functioning. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
I think I found perfection haha... How can I share my profile? (:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] leblvin:
I had disabled Google Play Music, forgot to mention that.

I re-enabled it, and the equalizer options I'm given are Dolby Atmos or VIPER4Android FX.

I rebooted to recovery and wiped Cache and Dalvik/ART.

Rebooted to system, started viper, opened spotify, started music, opened viper, disabled and re-enabled for phone speaker.

Still no processing =/

Tried music on Google Play Music instead, no change.

I accessed VIPER through GPM too to see if it changed something, but it doesn't.

I'm preparing to go to bed, but will try to catch your reply.

Tell me if there's any log or dump I can send you, and I will!

Last edit before bed : Force V4A and Compatible Mode don't fix it either =( Thanks a bunch for your involvment and quick answers =) :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] fastandthecurious:
Just finished flashing, however I think it did not do the install correctly.

It created the folders in my system, but upon navigating they do have 700 permissions and I cannot navigate inside those directories. I cannot see the dolby atmos niether the viper installed on my apps. Did I miss something?

selinux has been set to permissive. also

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kheltek:
I finally figured it out - it was way more simple than I could expect. Apparently, the powerbeats 2 headset has a preamp like boost to its headphones. The last time I used Viper was on an S6 and did not have any issues. The volume from the headset and the handset functioned independently. Not the case with the 6P. After looking at a few things, I turned down the output gain to -6 and -8 and the sound is now scrumtrulescent. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions. It was a learning experience for sure.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I found one for you, check the attachment. :good:

Create a folder with this structure in Root Explorer:

The title of zip you want shared/ViPER4Android/Profile

Go to your Profile folder and copy the profile folder as you named it in v4a into that folder above.

Now just zip the main folder you created in the first step and attach it to a post with a brief description or not so brief at all, your choice!

Can't wait to hear it and I'll add it to the User Content Area so keep that in mind while you prepare your description. :good:

You're welcome man, I just wish this was easier for you. It pains me to see so many going through so much trouble as my ultimate goal was to make this the easiest v4a installation ever. It evolved a bit to include more effects processing but the Stock packages still fully respect my original goal. You might want to wipe system in TWRP and dirty flash your ROM and trying any of the Stock packages.

Very, very strange. 0700?? What recovery and how much free /system space shows to be available?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's absolutely wonderful and thanks for letting me know! You deserve the praise for this fix though! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
If I suddenly disappear I have passed out... spent lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
currently i'm using V4A|stock 5.2 ....can i dirty flash V4a|Atmos 5.3 over it?????
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Absolutely! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
thanks..trying now!!

btw my SELinux is Enforcing by default. .... will Viper|DD+ work in my phone??? (stock touchwiz 5.1.1)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SeVIIn:
I just wanted to try and help out real quick as I see other peeps are trying to get things figured out on the Samsung Note side of things. First off I haven't used any of the zips found here, but I do want to, however what I got to work so far was installing foverloco's V4A zip from awhile back https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347841605 and then "upgrading" V4A to latest by following and installing the zip found here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/themes-apps/viper4android-2-4-0-1-neon-enabled-t3310716 So, right now I have everything running great and Viper process everything - all sound.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
DD+™ requires a Permissive Selinux environment so try ViPER|Atmos™ if you wish to stay on Enforcing. :good:

Thanks for sharing! I'll look at both. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I see now why it works, as it's the only library except for the single myspace library left intact. Essentially, it would have to work as it's the only effect library available for the effects at the bottom. I've copied the entire library section from /system/vendor/etc/audio_effect.conf to show what I mean:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zishukkc:
ok.. one more thing... should i have to wipe cahe/dalvik after dirty flash?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Not necessary, but can't hurt.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Any DU'ers experiencing Root Explorer FC's when working with its Archives and Extracted directories like I have been? I have tried two builds with a total of five Factory Resets and it always comes up after just a bit of working. I thought it was fixed with this last build but after just a handful of visits to these directories it has come again. I've tried deleting app data dozens of times as well. I've never experienced this in my life and makes it impossible for me to do work with this rom as everything I do here is made with Root Explorer. I hate to say it, but I'm hanging up my DU hat. :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] scedeov:
Guys I need help. I installed ViperAtmos but it shows this. After clicking on Yes it says that the driver has been installed and after I reboot the phone it does nothing. It shows that popup again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] RSDamasceno:
I "created" a package with the profiles in #2 + with many many many profiles that collect long time, and upload here:

.

* Initially created for personal purposes (Perhaps a profile does not sound good to your hardware set) *

* A good starting point for beginners *

* Credit to the creator of the profile is the profile name (if possible!) *

.

Change log V2:

* 100 profiles (62 IRS + 2 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAudio 4.7.1 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Home Theater Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

Change log V1:

* 50 profiles (50 IRS + 2 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAtmos 5.3 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Home Theater Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

.

Instructions:

Just extract to your ViPER4Android folder

Next releases

* I plan to review more than 170+ profiles that collect

P.S.: If you do not agree with my collection I can remove.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] scedeov:
I have an OPO with 64gb. It has about 54gb free. Is that what you are asking? This is my first time trying this out :(
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I think it's awesome! :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries, this is a very confusing question when presented the first time. :good:

Navigate to /system in a file manager app and see what the available space is. Your /system partition has a small chunk of that 64gb with the vast majority reserved for the /storage and /data partitions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] RSDamasceno:
Anyway thank you for the way you handle things here.

It's a great reference! You are a cool guy.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I'm using the specific package for 5.2.1 for DU on my N6P, can I update with the generic 5.3, or do I need another specific package? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] scedeov:
When I enter to the app Dolby Atmos it seems the audio driver works. It sounds way different but the Viper4Android app keeps asking me to install the driver. I'm so confused even though I read the OP and the 500+ pages lol.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SeVIIn:
Ah I see now, so that's the trick to making it work, good to know! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] puritan007:

Well. here's my contribution... Juanpro (Just Another Profile) only for Headset

I'm currently using JBL J22, and I think I have a decent performance with this settings... It should work well with most earphones and you can play with the "Dynamic System" (to get more bass according to your headset)... I borrow the template from [MENTION=5079472]sonophilos[/MENTION] (hope it doesn't mind) to share settings here, because I'm using another lenguage (:

PlaybackAGC - Enabled / Slight / 2x Max Gain

Convolver - Enabled / DFX Urban RB.irs

Dynamic System - Enabled / Common Earphone(v1) or (v2) *the choise depends on you* / 5%

ViPER Bass - Enabled / Natural Bass / 40Hz / 8.0 Db

ViPER Clarity - Enabled / Natural / 3.5 Db

Cure Tech+ - Enabled / Moderate

Output Gain - 3.5 Db *this depends on you*

Obviously the settings I didn't mention are default, or disabled. Personally I don't have any distorsion or crackle with rising "Output Gain", and even I play with the sound values from my kernel (my device without this modifications has a very low volume). Hope you like it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vjtigas:
I skipped 5.2.1 to avoid the system wipe and just deleted the Sony folder. Do I need to do anything before and after flashing 5.3? Thank you so much!

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Mohdsultan:
Wait a freaking sec, is my viper not working? Omg. Everything is normal but processing says NO.

I am attaching a screenshot, I am using the stock viper audio and 5.1.1 sultans unofficial Cyanogenmod. OPO. Can anyone help me get it working?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] loepen:
Had the same issue with the stock builds on my N5x. Sony Beats Edition works fine though. Looking at the Content and scripts of the two flavors I suspect that the issue we encounter with the stock packages are due to the handling of libeffectproxy. (It is included in stock too but not handled by the script like in Beats-Sony.) Reference: 5.2.1 Version of the mod , on stock Rom.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
That is indeed strange. So if the file were updated to only use the Viper lib, it should work?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Akoolive:
5.3 best yet. Appreciate your hard work and dedication champ. Nexus 5.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Hopefully not confusing things more, but another user of the Hyperdrive ROM posted a flashable 2.4.0.0 zip that worked on the first try. If you find the same changes as above, that may be the definitive proof of what works with the Note 5.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You might check the permissions of the following as I've had a couple reports of some very strange mishandled permissions after installation:

/system/priv-app/As/As.apk

/system/priv-app/AsUI/AsUI.apk

/system/etc/dolby/ds-default.xml

/system/lib/libdlbdapstorage.so

/system/lib/soundfx/libswdap-mod.so

Those folders/files require 0755/0644 permissions respectively.

Have you disabled stock audio effects?

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

It's a very compromising solution, but one I may consider for a special edition Samsung package.

That's a great point, I'll look into that after I get some package work done today. Thanks! :Good:

I tried but it does not result in a perfect zip for some. "Zip is corrupt!"

Just.flash away! :good:

Yes, just bear with me. I'll make that happen today hopefully. :good:

It's been a while since I used OTG but it starts in /mnt.

Have you disabled any stock audio effects?

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

The original file did not need an effects entry, the Sony™ file does as it works with theSony™ visualizer effects.

It would have to as there is no other option. Even the myspace library is not resourced for a single effect below.

Thanks man! I'm glad you like it! :good:

More of the same, it uses the exact same /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf. I'll try something minor in that vein, probably starting with the bundle and reverb libraries only at first. Don't worry, I'll have something for you guys today. :good:
