Thanks! thats fine :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Yes. Mpdecision, hotplugging and governors are unchanged from stock, so that's mpdecision on, hotplugging off (all 8 cores are always live, according to Kernel Adiutor) and I'm using the stock Ondemand governor for both big and LITTLE clusters.

Yes, turn off Atmos when you're not listening to music. :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Fantastic! :good:

What is the stock governor I wonder?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
The stock governor, as in unchanged by Kernel Adiutor, is Interactive. However, that has the skipping and popping and cracking orders of magnitudes worse, as Woody explained. Ondemand only has it when I use Atmos' Surround Virtualizer.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Right, but that is stock for the modified version of the kernel. The stock kernel for the device would never be allowed to be released with that behavior. That is why I wish, oh man do I wish, that a dev or several dev's would start doing performance based kernels that don't try to squeeze one more battery percentage point than the other guy. It is absolutely ridiculous imo opinion and really brings an unnecessary obstacle into something that already has enough obstacles like ViPER4Android, even with its latest update, and many other apps I'm sure. Batteries are bigger than ever and chargers are constantly everywhere around us, with quick charging and other features, not to mention the flood of portable chargers being found in every bag, purse, and car. Yet, the kernel dev is asked this and only this: "How can I get more battery and screen on time?"

I sincerely hope you don't feel like I'm directing any of this at you and I hope you know me well enough for me not to have to throw this disclaimer out there. It's definitely for new users popping in thinking I may have something negative to say toward you about anything you may have mentioned. You have simply stirred my brain into wanting to vent about something that probably irks me more than anything in the entire world of Android.

Think about this for example: Would you want your brand new, cutting edge 4k television to dim itself, lower resolution, or lower frame rate to save you on your electric utility bill when it "feels" it needs to? Hell no, and I use my phone way more than my TV.

End rant.

I love you [MENTION=5079472]sonophilos[/MENTION]! Don't forget that and no one take what I said the wrong way, I turned his post into my personal soap box and has absolutely nothing to do with his content or intent. This is my plea to everyone to stop asking dev's for more battery percentage and ask for more performance! We all want the flagship phones but we want the bagphone battery life?!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
lmao, I love you too [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], don't ever change.

In other news, I tested with my new profiles for a bit and noticed they could use a bit more tweaking to compensate for how much volume the Surround Virtualizer seemed to add. So:

V4A Speakers profile: 10.0Db Bass, 8.0Db Clarity, 0Db Output Gain

Some users may want to boost Bass to 10.0Db for the Headphones profile as well, on mine it does add some oomph but at the cost of a little detail in the midrange.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
I can never just leave well enough alone....so i went back to stock (not your rom) and started flashing things. Once root and busybox were established, i cleaned up my system folder and went after viper. I found that when i flashed 5.2 everything was as it should be, but same problems no processing when music starts. I manually checked every file written by the zip and all permissions and locations were good, except for some strange reason every single file said it's origin date was AUG 1, 2008? With a little more playing i dirty flashed 4.2.1 over 5.2 with no system wipe. After a reboot viola there was processing...with the 4.2.0.1 kernel and all current sony effects. Verified with the lib v4a kernel and it still matches the proper md5 for coming from the 5.2 zip.

So all this is very weird, it seems like the 5.2 zip was perhaps missing something to enable the processing, and the uninstallation script was not working as i was able to flash 4.2.1 over 5.2 and still have 5.2???? Idk its a mess but i have it working on a stock n6 now, i'd really like to figure out what happened but as long as future updates to viper don't break it as is right now i'll be happy lol
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That date you gave is everything installed with the rom installation. A zip installed on top of the rom will have the actual date and time. When you say you have 5.2 after flashing 4.2.1, are you going by the driver or by the ViPER Version Info.txt? That text file is only existing on 5.2 and will only be overwritten by a newer ViPER package or it will be deleted through a system wipe. Flashing 4.2.1 over 5.2 will not remove or alter that file.

But if you flashed 4.2.1 over 5.2 and you have the 2.4.0.1 driver that is really strange. The deletion of the driver has been a constant in ViPER installation from day one.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
Sorry didn't finish my thought on that, the date shows that for many of the files written by the script, until i flashed 4.2.1 over 5.2 then some of the files updated to today but not all. Going by the driver shown in v4a app and by the lib file we talked about before by checking the md5, these all match the 5.2 files, plus the sony effect folder is in etc. I agree this is very strange but based on what i can see it just seems like something is writing properly in the 4.2.1 zip and not in the 5.2 zip, was there maybe a change that wouldn't affect the driver but would affect the processing control in between there? I'm guessing the script is set up to upgrade the files, not overwrite them? SO by flashing 4.2.1 over 5.2 technically it wouldn't do anything because the 5.2 files were newer? or do they overwrite no matter what is currently installed, just wondering if 4.2.1 skipped all the 5.2 files except for something missing which it then merged? I have no idea about any of this fyi just trying to spark something in your brain lmao :p

I have, check in the second post (after OP) in the User Content area for my profiles as well as my custom install zip (does not include profiles) and my recommendations. :D
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] flipeicl:
I will try it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Lol, I totally feel you! I have to be very careful about what I remove via the install script. Technically, the only files that are deleted by the install script are pertinent files to ViPER4Android, Dolby Atmos™, and Dolby Digital Plus™. I have to respect users that may have the Sony™ or Beats™ files on their stock devices so those files are never removed. A system wipe is the only way to remove any Sony™ or Beats™ file.

You can look at it this way:

Flashing ViPER|Atmos™ Sony™ Beats™ Edition on top of ViPER|Audio™ Stock is a massive difference in sound and additional files.

Now, if you were to flash ViPER|Audio™ Stock on top of ViPER|Atmos™ Sony™ Beats™ Edition, then you would absolutely have a ViPER|Audio™ Sony™ Beats™ Edition installed as the only thing removed would be Dolby Atmos™. I hope that makes sense.

I hold great respect for all of you and your devices so I make sure that nothing is ever removed that is stock on your device. That limits it to ViPER4Android and Dolby Apps and files. There is one file that actually overwrites a stock file and that is /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so. I wish I didn't have to, but even my stock file on my Nexus 6 6.0.1 will not allow v4a processing so I have to include it. That is also why I have both libeffectproxy switchers available in the OP, to help with visualization more than anything.

Viper4android is a piece of cake to make work on one device. Making it work on multiple devices and Android OS's and additional sound libraries is on a whole other level and requires constant attention, listening, and support. That is why I am always here and respond to absolutely every single post. It helps me learn as well as helps you guys learn. Additionally, I think it would be crazy to make all this available and just disappear leaving you guys to help each other and figure it out on your own. :good:

Edit: this zip is broken. The directory where my v4a profiles go by default has something funky with permissions where I can see them, and apparently copy them or add to zip, and it creates files but the files are empty.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] This could have been done forever ago but, I must have missed it. What changed in 2.0 of your Audiophile profile?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I can confirm. The zip will not open. [MENTION=5079472]sonophilos[/MENTION]

Audiophile™2.0 is based on the latest ViPER4Android 2.4.0.1 which features the additon of the AnalogX effect. I have it set as enabled with Moderate effect which really hides some of the background processing by-product noise. It also lowers the ViPER Clarity to 3.5 dB especially useful in the Sony™ Beats™ Editions. It also enables the Headset Dynamic Bass setting that was initially supposed to be enabled in the original Audiophile™ profile. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] the_poolee:
So I can go ahead with the latest ViPER|DD+™ Stock v5.2 packages for Lollipop and up, in my KK? Will I have to run the runme.sh script once again? I still haven't figured out where that /system/su.d folder exists nor the 50viper.sh file....

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] CPA Poke:
New to the thread, so I'm sorry in advance if you've answered this already - but basically I'm at the point where I can't get V4A to process headphone audio AND get the visualizer to work at the same time when using headphones. I'm on the most recent DirtyUnicorns nightly that I built myself from source, and using the ViPERAtmos_5.2_Dark_Sony_Beats_Edition_Permissive version of your mod. Nexus 6 (shamu).

When flashing your zip after a system wipe, my conditions are as follows:

Phone Speaker Processing: YES

Headphones Processing: NO

Visualizer Working: YES*

* Note that even though DU doesn't have the lockscreen visualizer from CM, it uses similar code in the navigation bar "Pulse" feature (which I LOVE! Not sure if CM has this or not, it's been awhile since I've flashed that).

After reading up a bit in the thread, I flashed the original libeffectproxy switcher zip that you provided in the OP and now have the following conditions:

Phone Speaker Processing: YES

Headphones Processing: YES

Visualizer Working: NO

I haven't tested bluetooth yet.

Is there a third option I may be missing that would allow me to have both at the same time? I can pull a log if you think that would help, although I'm not getting any FC's or anything like that.

The one caveat is that I don't really have anything to compare it to, as the visualizer hasn't worked at all until today when I tried your mod for the first time! I assume it was because the previous version of Viper I was using overrode the libeffectproxy as well. And since I literally have NEVER listened to music without Viper, I have nothing else to go off of. [emoji5]

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to provide!

Edit: Tested BT, same problem as headphones (processing works but no visualizer).

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] CPA Poke:
DU is open source, so as long as proper authorship is maintained (and, for good measure, a shout-out to the dev in the respective ROM thread), it can be ported to any ROM.

In my earlier comment I linked to the first of many commits on DU's Gerrit required to cherry-pick the feature - it's all there! ?

Not sure where you're getting that from, but like I mentioned above, the code for Pulse is publicly available on DU's Gerrit page. All it takes is the right dev to take the time to cherry-pick it :)

Here is a link to DU's G+ community, which is where you can find the most recent features/downloads/support.

The only other option currently on your device would be trying the libeffectproxy from the rom itself. It might be different than both libeffectproxy files I use.

With the newest pure nexus rom on my nexus 6 i get a small half a second sound boost then its gone , music fx is disabled and in the viper app i have the same results as above persons screenshot , any ideas to why the sound drops off
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes, and would you mind attaching the stock DU libeffectproxy for me? I haven't flashed DU yet, I'm trying to get everything in order as I can't look into DU as it is a system.dat. I was thinking about making a DU ViPER|Atmos™ injected rom but I can't see the original files. There is an install folder inside I should be able to use but I'll have no idea what I'm overwriting or working with if that makes sense.

We're you working one of my JB KK builds? You will not need any su.d scripts whatsoever since you are on KK.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Actually, if I remember right, I can't use the install folder. I'll have to create a system folder and extract it at the end of the installation, but I want to know if I need to leave the libeffectproxy out or not.

I had been on one JB/KK build but there was no Dolby DD+ available,only Atmos or Stock. Atmos doesn't work in KK, at least to me. As you had mentioned earlier, I thought you were instructing me to try out DD+... So I just tried the one inside the 5.2 ViPER DD+ Stock build....

Here at xda, people hit the Thanks button ? for showing their gratitude. What a strange place! ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you for that, big difference for sure. So different that I will likely need the stock DU /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf to see if I need to change those entries. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That will certainly work. The only things you'll want to do differently with that build is to place the apk's directly into /system/priv-app and not in individual folders. Leave out the /system/su.d folder as it is only needed for Lollipop and up, set 0777 permissions to the script, and execute. You'll have a complete KK installation! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Alternatively, I could just leave the libeffectproxy entries out completely for a DU ViPER|Atmos™ package.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Stylez Ray.:
For me on Dirty Unicorns on my Nexus 6 I noticed not only processing of V4A not working but the phone also gets laggy after some time of playback if processing is working. It's really wierd. Processing is switching between yes and no constantly, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I just double checked by clean flashing and using my phone without V4A for more than one day and it's still snappy as it should be. Flashing Viper and using the phone for an hour it gets laggy again. I assume it's a race of FX processing which causes the lag but I really can't see whats going on as it is too technical for me

This is the exact same problem i had on stock rom that [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] and i were working on for the last 10 pages. My resolution was to flash 5.2 the dirty flash an older (in my case it was 4.2.1 cause that's what i last had) over it that got processing working again.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] see i'm not crazy lo!!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Yes, it does change it, which is why I think it makes more sense to have a ViPER|Atmos™ 5.2DU Sony™ Beats™ Edition that does not touch /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so nor does it remove and add those specific entries into the audio_effects.conf files. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] deeplyyoung:
I'll try this and revert you...dirty flash will work nah?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I know lol! I'm just hoping that's not the stock libeffectproxy in the N6 Google Factory Image. If that were the case, the unrooted rom I've made available wouldn't work either. In the very beginning of this I had to change the libeffectproxy for it to work on N6.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Dirty flash after a system wipe, yes.

And the DU libeffectproxy IS different than the stock N6 libeffectproxy so chances are excellent!

[MENTION=4403459]oakley470[/MENTION], feel free to flash 5.2DU, it is not specific to that rom, just a reminder to me that it is set up to ensure Pulse™ compatibility. :good:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] oakley470:
libeffect after a flash of 5.2 is definitely different than the libeffect after dirty flashing 4.2.1 . ALso i forgot to mention that after dirty flashing 4.2.1 and opening v4a it asks to update the driver to use, at which time it does call su permissions to successfully complete the install. After reboot everything's good, could we be experiencing a su problem on 5.2 thats preventing the flash from happening completely?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Damn!!

After clean flashing post the /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf before flashing anything on top. And then post that same file after flashing 5.2DU. :good:

Pulse not working after flashing V4A.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
SuperSU is not needed whatsoever for driver installation. Even though, it should work if everything is deleted correctly by my installer as there are major changes between those two builds. 4.2.1 has ViPER4Android 2.3.4.0 with the Power Saving Driver (my bad) and 5.2 has ViPER4Android 2.4.0.1 with its only compatible driver, there may be some lingering files looking for a different v4a version or a different driver. I'm about to look at the script.
