The Human Abstract's first album

Threat Signal

The Black Dahlia Murder

DevilDriver

Dimmu Borgir

Arcturus

Gojira

Between the Buried and Me

Glassjaw

Rotting Christ

Lamb of God

among many, many others.

I've been out of the loop for a while and played in a few bands as a teen and young adult (34 now) but I'm getting back into it now.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Nice, i'm 30 myself. Black Dahlia is one of my favorites. Have seen them live a couple times.

I won't derail your thread any more now, lol. Keep up the good work! :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
No worries, OT talk is welcome and encouraged. Talking all business and terminology can create "writer's block", if you will. It's amazing how much productivity comes from breaking away for a bit. If you've ever felt like you were walking on eggshells in other threads, this will absolutely not be that way.

Statutory Ape will always be a classic in my book! Going to listen to it right now, in fact. :highfive:

Edit*

And immediately, I found that DFX Metal & Rap Big Bass made it sound even better than DFX Hip Hop Modern was making it sound. Definitely worth a test for yourself. See what I mean about the OT talk? Thank you Metal brother!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
Beautiful.... Worked like a charm. Kudos sir..
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] lazer77:
Nice! Will certainly give it a shot.

Unhallowed was (probably not the first, but one of) the first physical CD's i've ever purchased.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
My first CD, not cassette lol, was Nirvana - Nevermind after mowing a yard for $15. I clearly remember the day!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dingermtb:
Pentesting with this mod today I'll be the first to say I know nothing about the technical details but being legally blind I would consider myself great at listening as I rely a lot on sound and I've been doing extensive testing with bands such as Slipknot Five Finger Death Punch scar the martyr motionless in white Mushroomhead Whitechapel and betraying the martyrs and I got to say this is a phenomenal mod you have done one awesome job and thank you for your hard work good sir

So what do i look in there after i install Viper? I didn't really understand what you mean by that
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
"v4a"
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
So if v4a is there, then its installed properly? Do I ignore the driver install prompt then?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Rodeojones:
Just took the time to finally get this going. Haven't used it since the more basic setup without all these options. Wow. This is great. Even the sound through my little earbuds is amazing. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] pkarekar492:
Extream beat 7.03 and ur viper atmos 3.4....owesome combination ...thanx
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] thelittlesteevee:
Hello! :3 not really new to XDA, long time lurker.

Just wanna say that this is the first viper4android that actually sorta works on my Nexus 5! All the other zips I've flashed have caused annoying hiss during quiet portions and extreme volume. Like I said not all the options work but the DDC profiles do so that's all I need. Thanks! :p
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I somehow missed your post earlier, but I want you to know that your post absolutely made my day and I hope that you continue to join us here as I've seen multiple posts elsewhere and you are certainly an asset everywhere you post with your awesome attitude and insight.

Is it in both audio_effects.conf?

Is this file present? /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so

How much free space is available in /system?

You may have better results with systemless root.

I really recommend a dirty rom flash after wiping System in TWRP, reboot and check for the free space in /system. Then flash 3.5. If still no good and you're willing to go systemless do this:

Boot to recovery

Wipe> Advanced > System, Dalvik Cache, Cache

Mount > uncheck System

Install > rom zip

Install > UPDATE-unSU.zip

Install > BETA-SuperSU-v2.65

Install > ViPER 3.5 package of your choice

Reboot

Open v4a

Menu > Show Notification (disable from Notification Shade if desired)

Menu > UI Setting > Expert

Menu > Load Effect Profile > Audiophile

Begin playing audio file

Open v4a

Uncheck Enable v4a

Check Enable v4a

Awesome, I am thrilled you enjoy it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Which options are not working? I'd hate for you to settle with an incomplete installation.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] thelittlesteevee:
Lol, just noticed this is the Nexus 6 section. :silly:

Umm, let's see: Reverb and the Convolver don't seem to work in both headset and speaker tabs. Might be missing a few as I don't use all of them, hehe.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
This is only in the Nexus 6 section because I took over this thread in the second week of December, this is for many, many devices.

From the OP:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] thelittlesteevee:
Ah, OK.

Already tried that, doesn't do anything as far as I know. Don't use Reverb and the Convolver anyways so it's no big deal. Thanks anyways! :o
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
For sure man, is it an issue with no sound difference or an issue with the IRS files not being able to be selected in Convolver?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] NOSTALGIA:
love your work dude.. finally im back to v4a...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] thelittlesteevee:
No sound difference.

On a related note, I've noticed most zips when flashing remove MusicFX but this one doesn't. Removing or disabling it causes viper to not process audio at all, keeping it ensures no audible hiss and high volume. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Welcome back to the club!

Precisely, I absolutely recommend keeping it and only disabling/deleting if absolutely necessary. Nice catch!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] what should be the order, if I flash extrememusic 7.03 with your mod such that no conflicts occur?

Edit: is it really necessary as urs one already beats included?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
The last flash will be the one retaining its files. Since XTREMEMusic™ has tons of files I would flash the ViPER package second. Any XTREMEMusic™ files not overwritten by the ViPER package will remain. It honestly seems like too much going on in my opinion, but your ears are the ultimate test and I strongly urge you to always trust your ears and do what sounds best to you.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ranaxda200:
You were right. I think too many files distract sound, leads to lots of distractions/noise. Plus 'unfortunately soundalive has stopped' popped up.

All I can say "too many cooks spoil the broth". Going back to urs v4a_atmos_beats mod only.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Thanks for the report as I'm sure you weren't alone in your desire to try both. I appreciate you for simply considering ViPER|Atmos™ as your sound mod of choice. Stick around as it'll just keep getting better.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
So quiet and not a word about the 3.5 versions... Have we reached a Milestone release folks?

Prerequisites for Milestone:

Absolutely no install driver prompt

Audiophile selectable from Load Effect Profile

Processing, of course

I appreciate everyone's input for this 3.5 update and could not be more pleased with the progress we've made in not even a month's time. Thanks to everyone hanging in there with me, even the times you thought there was nothing else to try. You don't realize it at the time but your progress reports after repeated failed attempts are immensely helpful to new users jumping in for the first time. ViPER4Android is known to be one of the most frustrating Android apps of all time in terms of installation and we are on the edge of changing that reality!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] max_aideal:
Just installed ViPER|Atmos 3.5 Beats Huawei Edition Dark.zip

Awesome!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jukyO:
Hi man,

One thing comes to my mind.

Could you introduce some kind of a check in the installation script,

E.g.

which will check if all files are in place where they should reside?

If not, then print out e.g.:

Please copy manually Viper4Android to '/storage/emulated/0'.

What do you think?

Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TexasRules777:
Clean flash 3.5 vpr/atmos beats on pure nexus on my og nexus 6. I also added the audiophile zip and threw on some gojira via my Jabra Bluetooth headphones and hit Nirvana. I've used vp4a on all my phones since the droid RAZR but your mod is by far the best sound I've ever had on a portable device. Thank you so much from a long time lurker. Can't wait to see what you have in store for this year!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
That's a great idea, but is what should be should be taking place if everything goes according to how it was planned:

3.5 deletes all apk's as long as the names weren't later changed by the user, it even deletes the normal installation methods with the original naming as well as the data installs.

3.5 also places the Audiophile™ profile into the following two locations:

/data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android

and

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android

It would be easier to ui_print the location during install but the location is different for different users and may just lead to more confusion. When in doubt, my favorite method is to create a new profile with a unique name and then hunt for it in what will be the working directory. This method, in some cases, also seems to satisfy the system with v4a's storage permissions.

I honestly don't know of a way to check on a device with a script line to detect what the working v4a directory is, or would be, on a device that's never had v4a. Reaching that point would be a monumental achievement. I love your way of thinking and that's how things progress so keep your ideas coming. I feel 3.5 does the best job at this time with compatibility and unambiguity.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Fantastic man! I'm thrilled you are enjoying it that much, but it sounds like Audiophile™ wasn't able to be loaded immediately after install, is that right? If you had to manually copy the Audiophile profile, what is your working v4a directory? Thank you so much for the kind words, I can't wait either!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] GXGOW:
Latest version is working great as always! However, it does work with SELinux on enforcing on my OnePlus One, but only on permissive on my LG G Pad 8.3. Both are running CM13. Not that it's that big of an issue. I can easily set it to permissive and enjoy the greatest audio quality!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TexasRules777:
Nope. I flashed a zip you had a few pages back. Premium settings man. To be honest though I've never tried to cut and paste those profiles before. I just thought with a fresh install ( after using a setup from a different thread ) I would try out that audiophile zip and I wasn't disappointed. Maybe you could add that zip to the op or incorporate it into your next zip? It works awesome.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] xdavidc:
ViPER|Atmos� 3.4 Beats� Huawei� Edition Dark.zip Oneplus One CM13 based ROM with supersu 2.52 working perfectly, will report back whenever I make another clean flash with your latest version and maybe try latest supersu.

Thanks for your work. :)

new path for Viper, Nexus 4, MM Cataclysm 6.0.1

/mnt/runtime/write/emulated/legacy/VIPER 4Android

Happy New Year and thanks for magnificent work and most welcome thread!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jukyO:
Maybe like this:

Create a sh Linux script, which will run after files are extracted.

It will do:

ls -all of

/data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android

and

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android

And also

ls -all of

/data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel

and

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Profile/Audiophile

To one file.

Afterward, you can create a new sh script which will check for some unique prints within previously saved file.

And if then -> print needed info, dependant of the outcome.

That's the base idea.

Hopefully I didn't complicate to much :)

+ maybe

find / -name Viper4Android
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:

which 1 to install when i have a nexus 6p???
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jukyO:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Saved my Viper profile, here are it's locations:

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Profile/Juraj

/mnt/runtime/write/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Profile/Juraj

/mnt/runtime/read/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Profile/Juraj

/mnt/runtime/default/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Profile/Juraj

/data/media/0/ViPER4Android/Profile/Juraj

Where "Juraj" is my profile name.

Device is OPO, CM13.

Searched from terminal by command:

find / -name "ProfileName" | grep -v "/proc/" > /sdcard/out.txt

Where "ProfileName" is name of your profile.

Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] themoto:
That's what i thought until i saw a user here which had flashed

7.03 xtreme,and you say you always have to trust your ears.

I've tried and have to say WOW it's not to much.

A little bit darker sound.

I want to ask you guitarded hero please try it because i like

Your opinion.

This is what i did i deleeted the set to permessive from

System /su.d from xtreme 7.03 zipfile and flasht dat first

After that your Viper_Atmos 3.5 Beats_Huawei.

I didn't any wipe and Reboot System.

Everything works.

All profiles are there after flashing 3.5

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] LimitsX:
Thank you! No, i don't think there is systemless root for Galaxy S4 snapdragon model. I am using CM 12.1 rom with F2FS in data and cache. I did try dirty rom flash and still had the driver prompt come up =\. So I am not sure why its not installing properly. Should I change from F2FS to ext4 for data and cache?

I will attempt to install version 3.5 and see. Thank you for taking the time to help me out
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
They are part of the zip which is why I wanted to know if you were forced to manually copy the files because they weren't found after flashing 3.4 or 3.5.

Thank you very much for your report!

Same to you! Thanks for the location report.

Very cool info and I appreciate the brain crunching. I have to assume ViPER4Android has possibly never been installed on a device before, would that still be OK in those situations? Any way to find where that unmolested device would house the v4a folders?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I know it can seem blurry looking at many, like-named files. Is there a better way to structure the attachment section in the OP? I'm always open to ideas that make the OP a better resource for all. My ultimate goal is that the OP is comprehensive and coherent enough that it will be what you might consider as the ViPERwiki if you will.

I see /storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android as well so that is good. I'm trying to keep the zip down to only two locations because of the zip size will explode using every know location lol. That and /data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android seem to be the best two locations to use. Thank you for letting me know!

I could not get 7.0.3 up to testing standard with FC's I could not tame and files that just would not work. In a situation like that I feel I cannot offer any type of legitimate recommendation. I think the last version that was mostly bug-free was 6.0. I don't know what happened since, but it had become a troubleshooting nightmare and I had to walk away and focus on this thread until a version after 7.0.3 is released and I'll take a look. I feel that XM should be stripped down and built back up by the author, there's some stuff in there that's been causing conflicts and bootloops for certain devices and users for quite some time.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] IaKnightHawke:
I am getting download failed errors when attempting to download 3.5 Beats dark. Anyone else getting this error? Any fix suggestions?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] jukyO:
Regarding 1st one, mine was never molested before. So this might be a good start.

Regarding 2nd one, AFAIK, you can have one location in zip, and in updater-script, you can specify where to extract on a device, to the multiple locations.

Flashed 3.5 Atmos Dark and 3.5 audio on nexus 6p everything running smooth

So I installed Viper 4 3.5 beats dark version on Galaxy S4 with CM 12.1 rom. I opened v4a, when i clicked enable expert mode, i got driver installation prompt. I clicked no, and then try to load profile, but there is no profile available.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ad78:
Install these on recovery and it should work after switching to permissive
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] grinchyyy:
Anyone know of any Viper4andriod Android intents that can be used in Tasker for loading profiles?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ZeppelinJ0:
Guys how does this interact with Faux Sound? Is one superior to the other or can they work in tandem?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
This works even better with Faux Sound, in my opinion.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ZeppelinJ0:
OK second question now! How the hell do I get this to work? I've followed all the instructions and ideas listed in the comments but this is just not doing anything to effect the sound and the driver status always shows "no" for processing
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
It's always been pretty tricky for me. What I did to get it to work was have enabled checked and force checked, while music is playing. Then uncheck and recheck enable, then pause music. Resume your music and processing should now be "yes". You might have to play around with it a little bit to get it to work. I am not 100% positive that is the order.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ZeppelinJ0:
I tried this in a few manners and still nothing...

Also attempted Google Music and still nothing there either!

Somehow I think I've installed this wrong. I even tried the build.prop and library tweak files suggested earlier in the thread, should I not have flashed those?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
You can but check if NuPlayer is disabled in Developer Options first.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Berlino:
SELinux -Status has to be permissive in order to get viper to work.

Search for "SELinux Mode Changer" in playstore...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ZeppelinJ0:
I do have Permission mode enabled :)

I haven't tried NuPlayer yet though. I also have been noticing after installing ViperFX that the sound jolts and makes weird distorted noises now when playing music, so I will try this NuPlayer and see how it goes
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] treIII:
If possible how does a person get to settings using nu player? Is there an eq?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ZeppelinJ0:
OK so I tried all the above suggestions including switching to NuPlayer and this still isn't working... Is there any ROMs that have this mod pre installed??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
Quite a few. LiquidSmooth, Twisted Slim, BlissPop I think.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] G1Master:
Has anyone actually been able to flash V4A on the BlissPop 1.9 ROM? I need it to work for the headphone/aux jack as well.

Thanks,

Sam
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aoaleman:
When I was using BlissPop, whenever I would flash these files headphones worked great. AUX connection, did not however.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Try this zip. I hope it helps. Also why don't you just move the app into private app in system after flashing the zip file I posted. This zip was not created by me, so I don't know who I need to give credit. Anyways, this zip will enables V4A to work with any app and maybe help you with your issue.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] G1Master:
Appreciate it going to try it asap!

Update:

So it seems to be working! At least with headphones but I'll soon be able to try it in my car! Ill keep y'all posted!

Update 2:

Yea it broke the connection with the auxiliary port in my car. I drive a 2012 Mustang and I have zero issues with sound without flashing V4A. Strange how as ROMs progress we somehow lost the ability to flash V4A. Strictly speaking about auxiliary ports. Cause Bluetooth works, headphones and the hardware speakers work.

But all good maybe one day this shiznit will work again!

Now I have to reflash blisspop or maybe try another ROM.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Sorry to hear that. I do a lot of Bluetooth audio streaming in my car.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gk1984:
I use the aux almost daily. I too was annoyed by this. I found that slowly plugging in the cord, stopping just after halfway, to trick OK Google to activate, then plugging it in the rest of the way works.

I ended up just buying an aux cable with inline mic and no issues.

You can try skipping one of the 3 zips to see of it still works... Or you can just flash Viper, turn off Nuplayer in developer settings (phone) and run Viper in compatibility mode.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] G1Master:
Yea I've tried everything and nothing seems to stick. I can get everything installed and some what working and I say some what because when I look at the "Driver Status" all is "on" or "yes" but the processing. I use Pandora as my main music library.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
What root? Exact same experience when I was trying to get this working on stock with no root. If you don't mind going systemless, I bet this does the trick:

Boot to recovery

Wipe > Advanced > System, Dalvik Cache, Cache

Mount > uncheck System

Install > cm 12.1 rom

Install > UPDATE-unSU.zip

Install > BETA-SuperSU-v2.66.zip

Install > ViPER 3.5

Reboot

Check your free /system space first to make sure that's not your issue.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
3.5 works. Good looks,guitardedhero
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] AlexZap:
Awesome work!! I have a mediatek based jiayu s3 with lollipop 5.1.1 and the sounds awesome! I never have had an issue with viper, but your tweaks have made it even better.

Thank you, glad you enjoy it!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kvrangarao:
Will it work on any device? On any os?does root is essential? Is there any other way to install without root?will it overwrite the already installed v4a in the mobile?sorry for too many questions? I want to know because I have different mobiles in different states. Thanks
