Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], i have a big problem related to sound. I'm using wechat a lot here in China, and a longtime before when i call someone using wechat or pick up the phone i don't have any problems, no freezing. and But about 4 or 5 months ago, I always flash viper4audio, androidexpert35's mod, and I have a weird problem, sometimes when someone calls me or I call someone by wechat, it starts for 10seconds and the phone freezes, no response even power button, and only taking out the battery and put it in back or Power button +volume - +home button can reboot the phone. It happens often. And since a while i use your mod, And recently the freezing problem happens a lot. I tried to contact the Rom developer Of sixperience and dn5, no response from them. so these 5 days I decided to do experience, first use your mod, and do a lot of call, and second to not use any sound mod. So I found that when I install sound mods, yours or [MENTION=5627933]androidexpert35[/MENTION], the phone freezes a lot when using wechat for call, and when I don't use any of your mods, the freezing problem doesn't happen even once. It is sure that it is related to sound but I don't know if it is from the Rom or the mod, I only know that the Roms I use are all ported note 5. I tried to contact the Rom developer but no answer, that's why I contact you. Please Do you know how to fix it ?now I'm not using any sound mod because it's very frustrating everytime i use wechat to call my phone freezes, or I really like your mod. Is there someone here having note 4 with ported note 5 having that kind of problem ? Do you know why it happens only when I call someone using wechat and QQ too?

Thank you

I could, but there's only one way for me to ensure everything works properly together, otherwise the Sony zip might break the v4a processing. The best way would be to create a Sony™ Edition without the app and just install the app separately which is what I'm going to do tomorrow. This Sony™ stuff has exhausted me today. It works, it's just not up to ViPER|Audio™ stability standards yet. I'll have a ViPER|DD+™ Sony™ Beats™ Edition for you tomorrow after a long brain/body reboot.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Delete /system/priv-app/ViPER4Android and reboot.

Extract the mod zip and copy that same folder inside to /system/priv-app.

Set folder permissions to 0755, apk permissions to 0644, and reboot.

That should do it!

On a clean /system

Extract the mod zip and copy the v4a folder to /system/priv-app, set folder permissions to 0755, apk permissions to 0644,/and reboot. If you still have issues, then delete the v4a folder, reboot, and tap on the v4a apk to install and test v4a as a /data app.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
I did it. But still no app in drawer after reboot. Manually installed apk from /priv-app. But problem is whenever I close v4a windows sound gets sudden break and later all fine. Please let me know what might be culprit?

Edit: I did a clean /data wipe installation. Problem solved now. Thanks dude.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] razrlover:
Go reboot you're brain my dude!

Actually turn it off if possible!! Love you're passion for excellence! And real desire to help people, it's actually kinda scary, just don't get burnt out!!!! Thanks again for all you're work.

Gonna try new package of sony/audio mods from today. We can chat tomorrow

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] bkjordan04:
I've downloaded 4.3 and 4.4 both seem to force close after awhile. I went the all the necessary steps and couldn't figure it out so I just reflashed my rom(pn) and kernal(elamentalx) reinstalled 4.2
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
Nice i like to try the ViperAtmos Sony Beats when you have it.

take your time.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
If V4A came installed on a ROM, whats best way to remove?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
Just dirty flash your rom.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
I cant, the ROM comes built in with V4A.

I need to manually remove it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Glad you got it sorted! Even though I try my best for you guys to avoid wipes, there are times when that's the only viable option after so much dirty flashing. This makes me think I should factory reset today and then start working again on the Sony™ Edition! :good:

:good:

What app is Force closing?

You got it! That's the build I worked on all day yesterday and there is definitely an effect conflict on my audio_effects.conf. I know this because I was testing entry removal for effects with sub effects (no info online anywhere?!) and I inadvertently made the script delete the whole effects section before writing its own entries and it works perfectly lol!

I would certainly make one if it was possible to make a perfect uninstaller. There is one file that is overwritten (libeffectproxy.so) so an uninstaller would only be perfect if this was a single device mod where I knew which file to restore.

But better than an uninstaller, is for you guys to unzip (not your pants!) every single zip from me and others that you consider installing on your device. It's very important to know what will take place during and after a flash. I extract and thoroughly examine every zip I download before flashing so I'll know what to look for and expect. This is the only responsible suggestion since an uninstaller teaches you nothing and leaves you in the dark. This suggestion is comparable to the "Teach a man to fish, rather than give him a fish" scenario:

Just downloaded a zip you want to flash?

Extract the zip

Examine the folder and file content of the zip folder

Compare the same content to the content presently on your device

Any file that matches to one on your device WILL be overwritten

Create a new folder called "(mod name) Revert"

Create a folder/file structure inside containing only files that will be overwritten

Examine all scripts by viewing as text to see what file(s) will be patched

Copy those files to be patched that exist on your device to your Revert folder

With this Revert folder you will have all the necessary files to revert your device to its previous state. Folders/files that were not existing on your device before flashing the mod can simply be deleted.

This procedure is full and complete and outside the scope any uninstaller zip for more than one device could ever have. This procedure is also a fantastic learning opportunity into what happens when we flash mods.

I strongly urge everyone to always examine everything before flashing a mod. You'll learn so much that way and eventually, you'll reach a point where you can find errors in the mod or ways to make the mod work better for you in your specific situation. :good:

Open v4a

Menu > Uninstall Driver

Reboot

Look in /system/app or /system/priv-app for a v4a folder and delete

Reboot

Viperatmos 4.5 Sony beats addition sounds amazing dude. Normally I think all these sound mods are equal in sound but not this one, the music sounds like a real live band is playing all the time. Now to just get that real surround sound without having to use Viper to do it
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
More speakers!!

Lol, just kidding, I'm thrilled you're enjoying it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Slypnslyde:
Do you have the 4.5 Dolby atmos Sony beats addition with project luna or rear k
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I just checked the official zips and those mods have the four Sony™ libraries I'm currently testing and even more. No update required. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] svnhvn:
Can we flash 4.5 directly above 4.4?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] R1skNt:
Sorry, I know this is a stupid question, but what does this app/package do? is't like normal FX app that come with CM room? if not do you recommend it for a person who watch a lot of movies and TV shows on his phone?

thanks :o
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Precisely. ViPER4Android is like AudioFX on steroids. Dolby Atmos™ provides a premium cinematic sonic experience. ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Beats™ Edition should suit you very nicely! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Almost done guys! Got Enforcing working with my edit to the supolicy script for the newest systemless root! I just need to get it in /su/su.d via the install script, about to test that now. The removal of an effect with sub effects via the post-install has been unachievable so far. I wish i could find some documentation somewhere as I'm stiluck with trial and error which takes so much time. It doesn't pose any issues, it's just I want everything to look perfect in your audio_effects.conf with no duplicate entries. I'll definitely have something today guys!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] luigidk:
Don't kill yourself.

I am using Sony music player from the manual install you provided. Will i want to remove it prior to trying out your new install that includes it?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|Atmos™ 4.5.1 Sony™ Beats™ Edition​

Featuring:

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.4 Beats™ Edition base

Four Sony™ libraries and effects including libeffectproxy.so

Enforcing script works by pointing to /su/bin/supolicy

Flash over your phone's current state. :good:

Still working on preventing a duplicate entry when dirty flashing more than once. :fingers-crossed:

All feedback is most appreciated! :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries lol! Sony™ Music is no longer included nor affected by 4.5.1. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
Just wanted to report that version 4.5.1 does not install the driver on the Samsung S5.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Redownload ViPER|Atmos™ 4.5.1 Sony™ Beats™ Edition!

I forgot to place the Xperia Z5 libeffectproxy.so back into the zip!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] alokt27:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24349802275799787

The latest beats libs ?? I guess you have included them

But thought I should share :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks for the feedback!

Was there a previous package that preinstalled the driver properly on your device?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks! Those are the same libraries and effects used in ViPER|Audio™ Beats™ Editions. :good:

I always appreciate you guys making sure I haven't missed anything! :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] alokt27:
Always best :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Everyone please check your download time compared to the time of editing of the post!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mario_fernando_Fernandez:
Thank you , you could do it with DD +?

Atmos gives me squeaks, thanks
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rhonin86:
Concerning 4.5.1. - i flashed it over 4.4 on my Sony Xperia Z3compact modified Stockrom (see signature) - But after flashing the driver installation was corrupted ... abnormal status and no chance to activate it after another download.

Now i'm trying to flash 4.4 again to get it working again. Result : It works again as supposed - so something is wrong with 4.5.1

THX for all your efforts

Sry Bro - you are too quick :D i haven't tested the "redownload" i'm going to download asap ...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sTIMulat3:
Yep, seems like the issue was caused by Glitch Kernel. Thanks dude! :victory:

Atmos sony v4a 4.5 is 19,6 MB, 4.5.1 - 9,8 MB. Is it something missing here or it is as it should be?

N4 powered by Echoe™
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You're very welcome! It's likely due to the new /system/su.d/50viper.sh.

You're best bet is to pull that file from the 4.4 zip and copy it over the new one, set permissions to 0755, and reboot. :good:

Awesome! Glad you got it sorted! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
Installed 4.5.1 sony beats. Thanks mate, sound effects certainly better. But whenever I close v4a windows by removing recent apps, a sudden break of music occurs.I mentioned you about this glitch earlier. It's happening again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
So, which zip should I download? I want to try the Sony mod (:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You mean when you swipe v4a from Recent Apps?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
Yeah a sudden FC happens. Later all good.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|Atmos™ 4.5.1 Sony™ Beats™ Edition :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You are essentially Force Closing v4a by doing that. The reason you hear just a sudden change is the result of being a /system app which immediately opens itself back up. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
So I just downloaded version 4.5.1 again after your reload, I am getting a strange reaction, after a reboot and letting phone settle in with a permissive kernel, V4a shows that driver is installed but when I try to listen to music the driver is no longer installed. I have no issues with version 4.4.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
You might try deleting /system/su.d/50viper.sh from your device and rebooting since you're on Permissive Selinux. If you still have troubles, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver through the v4a app.

VIPER|Audio™ 4.5.1 Sony™ Edition​
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
Bro is this the latest version of viper atmos with sony and beats?

Follow up question is this comes with a sony walkman player?

Thanks in advance. This is such a great thread i've ever joined
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
What changed? Just flashed 4.5.1 an hour ago and have no issues on Enforcing. I think every version has worked fine and sound is great (on all). I really haven't noticed much improvement (can't get much better than excellent). Most improvement is with irs, but sound is great without convoluter checked. Best improvement is reliable install!

Curious, you say Sony player is great, do you mean ui, or actual sound? I use Gmusic, mainly for cloud and really hear no difference in sound between the two.

Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

that works :good:

i'll report later about the new build ....

THX again :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That is the latest release candidate.

I've decided to not include the player since it doubles the size and is unnecessary. I'll always have the latest Sony™ Music player available when it comes out.

And I'm glad you joined the thread too! :highfive:

Sony™ Music is a great free player alternative with a sleek UI and a great audio engine.

The sonic differences, indeed minor, seem to be a slight clarity boost.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you! The SRS-X55 is even part of my testing environment! :good:

The Sony™ libraries and effects in the Sony™ editions are, indeed, pulled from the Xperia Z5 port.

Fantastic! :highfive:

ViPER|Atmos™ 4.5.1 Sony™ Edition​
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
I just installed the viper|atmos version, and I'm not a big fan of atmos... If I just want viper, deleting Dolby should be enough, or should I reflash the zip that you have just posted?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tpuser59:
I have a nexus 6 and i am using 4.4 atmos beats edition. Do i flash the sony beats edition or this sony edition?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Kdx10:
I just installe 4.5.1 with sony not too much noticeable but i think its more clearer version i've installed. Thanks bro. Your the best man.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Any package without Atmos™ in the name will completely remove Dolby Atmos™ for you.

You can try both, but to remove the Beats™ files will require a System wipe and a dirty rom flash as I don't want to inadvertently remove stock device files from our HTC friends. Dirty flashing either one over an existing Beats™ installation will achieve the same results is what I'm getting at if that makes sense.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much, you guys are awesome and make this an absolute pleasure for me! :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
ViPER|DD+™ 4.5.1 Sony™ Edition​
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Alright guys! I've pushed out 4.5.1 Sony™ of all six packages now so all feedback is very important as I am leaning towards the Sony™ Beats™ editions replacing the current Beats™ versions, but only if they are an absolute improvement and do not affect compatibility in a negative manner. If you guys feel strongly about not phasing out the Beats™ editions I am open to that as well. I am trying hard to not confuse and overwhelm newcomers just looking for an easy, good sounding mod. With the Sony™ and the Sony™ Beats™ editions, the number of packages has doubled to a total of twelve. :eek:

I think twelve available packages is just crazy lol, not to mention major work when updates happen. But it's not the extra work that worries me, it's the user taking one look at the OP attachments section and saying, "Um, no thanks..."

I really appreciate you guys for everything you've done this weekend and helping me ensure we all get the best stuff on the front page! :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Ramondel:
Ok, I feel like a total noob, I had reported previously having issues with version 4.5.1 Sony where the driver would not install. We all know that the S5 only works with a permissive custom kernel. For some reason my kernel got set to enforcing and this is what was causing my driver issues. I have since re-flashed ViperAtmos_Sony version 4.5.1 and everything working as it should.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Don't feel bad, we learn the most from scenarios exactly like that! :good:

I'm thrilled you got it going and I appreciate you sharing that for users that might be in a similar situation!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vjtigas:
Hi, sorry I can't keep up: what are all the changes in 4.5.1 from 4.4? Thank you so much!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My pleasure! 4.5.1 is still in testing but likely finalized and simply includes the four Xperia Z5 libraries and effects as well as a revision to supolicy to point to /su/bin/supolicy for the latest SuperSU systemless root. Once 4.5.1 is posted to the OP, I will add the necessary information. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Sc4ryB3ar:
ViPER|Atmos 4.5.1 Sony Beats Edition (using sonophile set-up), performing flawlessly on LG G3 D850, running CandySiX!

Seriously some of the BEST sound I have EVER heard out of any Android phone!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] abeloman:
I deleted the two dolby apps and reflashed the viper sony beats... I hope there is no problem on this... What do you think?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks for the report! I feel the same way! :highfive:

No problem at all, simply flashing will completely remove everything except the Beats™ files as to not negatively affect our HTC friends. :good:

Alright guys, lots of downloads and only positive reports! I'm satisfied to make the Sony™ editions official! Thanks to each and every one of you for allowing this to be completed this weekend! :highfive:

Edit∆∆∆

4.5.1 introduces the Xperia™ Z5 libraries and effects from [MENTION=5396325]jancsessz[/MENTION]'s Xperia™ Z5 port as well as a change in the supolicy script pointing to /su/bin/supolicy for the latest SuperSU systemless root for full ViPER4Android functionality with Enforcing Selinux. 4.5.1 also begins the phasing out of the Beats™ only editions to keep a manageable number of packages.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I hate to be that guy, but fresh install of ViperAudio 4.5.1 Sony edition and Viper not processing on enforcing. Actually causes audio to stop as well on Pandora and poweramp (yes, poweramp is configured correctly). Permissive seems to be ok. Cleared Viper data, but same result. Driver installation prompt on enforcing as well (lol, every time menu was accessed). 4.4 was working perfectly (ViperAtmos Beats 4.4). Want to say thanks again for being the hardest working, friendliest developer I've come across on xda and irl.

Lol, I forgot all about that! Lagginess if I remember correctly. I was working on a Sony™ Xperia™ Z5 port with ViPER|Atmos™. It has a lot of the Z5 Apps like the beta Home launcher, theme picker, music player, keyboard, weather, and all sorts of stuff. If you find yourself about to wipe System and dirty flash your rom, that would be a good time to try it out real quick before you start your dirty flash routine! :good:

Lol, no worries! I expected this report as soon as it was official! Happens every time! ;)

Please know, I'm just kidding you of course. :angel:

Try this:

Pull /system/su.d/50viper.sh from the 4.4 zip and copy it over that same file currently on your device, set permissions to 0755, and reboot. :good:

Thank you very much for the kind words! You guys make what might be stressful for some an absolute pleasure for me! :highfive:
