Are you on EX kernel as well? I would've done that too though the dev mentioned its not a good idea to mess with the clocks at this stage so I took the safer bet. Whatever works I guess :)
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I have a TMo Galaxy Note 4. I'm running the Maximum Overdrive N5 V15 rom with the BeastMode Kernel. Are you talking about over clocking. All I'm doing is raising the minimum cpu frequency so that it won't run at the lowest one available. This has nothing to do with the clock values.

Update: I had a Verizon Note 4 Dev Ed before but it died. I decided to leave Verizon and switch to T-Mobile and get another Note 4. My old one would shut off when I tried to run the OnDemand Governor. I stay on Interactive.
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
I guessed you have a different device and kernel, which is why I asked if you're on the EX kernel.

Its a different situation with the EX kernel on the Nexus 6P, as I mentioned the dev advised against changing clock values (over, underclocking, raising minimum value, whatever) at this time, probably due to the Snapdragon 810 and its arch. So in my case, performance gov is the best bet.

P.S. I fully understood what you did; its also known as changing clock values, its the umbrella term for all of it.
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Is yours an OctaCore with two 4 core processors?
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
Yes SD810 is Octa core, hence my mentioning big and little clusters in my first post :)
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I'm not trying to disagree with you. I'm just curious. Does it always run V4A with the big cluster?

Update: I coulda had an OctaCore if I lived in Europe. Ain't it funny how people in the US get screwed on stuff like that?
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
No worries, I got you. So far, seems to be. I've changed the little cluster govs to no difference, but the big one did the trick. Even tried messing around with active floor frequencies, which stopped working after a while as well. In layman terms (and my opinion), Im guessing the big cores dont recognize the V4A sound processing as priority to give it enough CPU power, and goes into idle/little core. Which also explains why in my case I always had stutters after screen off. They would immediately go away when you turn screen on again.

If by Octa, since you have a Samsung, you'd get Exynos. Which in my opinion does have better GPU performance, but everything else is not there. Zero development. I got stuck with the Exynos S6 before my Nexus and it was ridiculous. Samsung as a whole to me is a bad investment. You'd be better off with a Nexus or HTC. Unless you have specific reasons to get a Note.

EDIT: Exynos also comes with a Wolfson DAC, but nowadays with V4A+Dolby effects on, I didnt see much difference compared with Nexus
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Yeah I have a need for the SPen. I need to take notes when talking to medical people about my wife's illness. She has Dementia and I'm her care giver.

I don't like the Note 5. It has no SD support. I heard the S7 has a locked bootloader for all the carriers. So I get to keep using my Note 4 indefinitely. That's ok. I like it a lot. I just hope it lasts.

If the Nexus had a stylus I'd definitely be looking at it.
[Android Software Development] ajm786:
Now this is an interesting discussion, and exactly the one I needed to hear/read.

I can confirm that messing with the minimum CPU value does NOTHING for the Nexus 6P and the stuttering/popping. However, I did not try setting the big cluster to Performance because I feared for 2 things: heat and battery life.

Are you saying that by setting it to Performance, you're able to now use V4A without any problems of crackling, popping, or stuttering when another audio stream (such as Google Navigation) plays over the main audio stream? Because if that's the case, I'll go right back to V4A.

Also, which version did you use? I've seen posts in this thread (by the OP himself) saying that the older 4.7 version is better than the newer one.
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
yes LFE is able to be used even if you don't have a discreet LFE output eg. subwoofer, center/surround speaker, soundbar etc etc...

during some experimentation in the ARISE thread, i discovered an interesting prop line value that for some seemed to have somewhat of an effect. i then found the official android documentation on android digital audio and how it handles channels, which allowed me to correct the value.

add this line to your build.prop (if you do it at the end make sure you add a few empty lines under it) :

persist.htc.audio.pcm.channels=3

it may only work properly when the necessary files are included as they are in every version of ARISE, but you might try it anyways. funny enough, the original value we tried was =2.1, on a random hunch i had that it might allow the LFE channel to be recognized. i felt pretty silly when i read that it should be 3 (duh, it is it's own channel). likewise, for 5.1 you'd use 6, and 7.1 would be 8, which is the max I'm pretty sure.

for bonus points try out the DOLBY pro logic +surround + LFE Irs file! adds a ton of depth and space to your low end. it's in my XDA folder which I've just pushed over in the Arise thread. best of luck oh and here is a picture of me from the other day, u jelly or what
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
Not sure about the S7, but if you wanna get it, I recommend settling with the US mainstream version, since you're already there. You can avoid unnecessary trouble. I took the harder way and imported my S6 to Australia from Hong Kong and it turned out to be one of the rarest variants (G9208). Locked b/l and another CROM lock on top of it. Managed to unlock both, then no workable TWRP and absolutely no custom rom that runs on it. If you need the SPen stick to the Note. I think the new Note will have expandable storage and the processor should be powerful enough to not hog you down over time. Not only that, with the pressure sensitivity, specialized tweaks for writing, etc, its the perfect device on the market for note taking- no competition.

Yep, I've had it that way for a month or so now and didnt have the issue since. I've never had cracking issues with the sound exchange as you mention, mine usually came up when the screen goes off- a few seconds after. No, no heat or battery issues, not even when gaming. I can usually squeeze out most of the day on constant use + browsing + spotify. Also, if you're using the Clean Master app, have a look at that. Recently I noticed that it drains a massive amount of battery, literally cutting out hours off my phone. CM Lite is a better option. Keep an eye on your battery drain.

Only my big cluster is on performance, little is on elementalx governor. I can guarantee it works perfectly on mine, Im sure it should do the same to yours. Let me know how it goes.

Yep, 4.7. I wanted to move upto 5.5 but ended up with a few bootloops so I stayed at 4.7. I will give 5.5 a try again, probably by this weekend.
[Android Software Development] ajm786:
Ok thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated. I have the 4.7 zip saved, and will stick with that.

Which audio player do you use? Maybe try giving it a shot: open and run Google Navigation and let its voiceover play while you are playing music and see if you get any pops/stuttering.
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
I have a suggestion for you guys. Go over to the ARISE Thread. You might find better info there. These Viper setups have pretty much been abandoned. All the action is going on over there. I'm using ARISE RC 8.3 and I like it a lot.

I am totally mystified as to why your badass processor would do that. My crummy little quad core does great with it. Maybe Viper needs to be optimized for usage with the OctaCore. But there's a ton Nexus users over there. Maybe they know what's going on.
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
See if you still have MusicFX and anything else that could clash around. I think the installation should wipe it anyway, but just in case. Also there is a volume level in navigation that you can change too, maybe try fiddling just to check. I've done that before running music via b/t in the car while using navigation, didnt have issues. I only got crackling when I used headphones, no other scenario. But I will check with headphones on.

I made the switch to Spotify a year or so ago and didnt use anything else. All my music is there, offline works perfectly and no issues with v4a.
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
It's already been stated that the S7 is bootloader locked for everybody. I think the new Note will be too. I love rooting, romming and running Viper on my phone. Maybe they'll put out a Nexus with a stylus someday. As long as I have to deal with my wife's illness I'm going to need to take notes when I talk to doctors. My memory is leaving me too. I'm sticking with my Note 4.
[Android Software Development] mrrocketdog:
good man [MENTION=4224060]stueycaster[/MENTION] , applause applause.:highhopes: similar here except with seizures.

"err on the side of kindness"
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Thanks man. Once every few days my wife will wake up with a type of seizures too. If she's standing when it happens it'll knock her to the floor hard. She's broken a wrist and a compound fracture to a lower vertebrae because of it. I had to get a rollator for her to sit on when she gets up.

Oh well. We all have our cross to bear huh?

I hope things aren't too hard for you. Good luck buddy
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
You're the man. Much respect for what you do. Im sure your Note will serve you well, as your good deeds certainly will. All the best :good:

EDIT: Locked b/l wont stop you from romming or anything else. I could flash twrp on my S6 through odin and thats all you need to start. Cheers mate
[Android Software Development] zbomb5610:
so couple of questions. One is that I can't use my phone in MTP and find the viper4android folder under internal storage through the pc since I am trying to put some convolver files in there.

the second is that when I try to save an effect profile, it doesn't show up under "load effect profile", so does that mean my settings are not being saved?

for now those are my two big issues.

Nexus 6 with pure nexus rom, flashed the viper4android 5.5 atmos zip file.
[Android Software Development] ericotena:
I dont have /data/media/legacy/Viper4Android folder why? Where will I extract the audiophile profile.zip?
[Android Software Development] ajm786:
You deserve a gold star. We're off to a good start.

On the way home, I had Neutron going as well as Google Navigation, but before I started, I made sure to set the big cluster to Performance.

What do you know: the voiceovers came clear and true. No popping, stuttering, or glitching of the music stream! :good:

Next up, I will install V4A and see if it has the same effect.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
What you were describing certainly sounded like behavior of a custom kernel. I've had many rants on the subject. The problem is that many kernel developers are under the pressure of many users to squeeze an additional battery percentage out of the device. This can lead to a significant enough drop of performance from the stock kernel to cause issues just like what you were experiencing. It's up to the users to demand optimal performance rather than a battery percentage point.

And the ViPER|Audio™ series is certainly not abandoned in any way. The ARISE project is very close to an official stable build and these builds here will be fully updated immediately afterward. The last thing we all need is to bring all of these builds into testing with the ARISE project. These builds will benefit greatly from the final version of Exodus. :good:
[Android Software Development] ajm786:
Thanks man, that's awesome to hear. I personally can't wait!

Now, about the kernel, I'd tend to agree with you, but the entire reason that I installed a custom kernel was that I was trying to fix the problem in the first place! I actually didn't intend to mess with custom kernels (I have had my fair share of these issues in the past, and have learned to try to stick as close to stock as possible), but I have this problem on even a clean install of Pure Nexus, using the OOTB kernel that came with it, which is about as close to AOSP as you can get.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Anyone willing to test this after a clean or dirty rom flash? :good:
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
You thinking of implementing Exodus 1 on your arise rom when you Have time?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I think so, just want to be sure everything is how it should be. Before ARISE it was not near as critical as we both know the dirty rom flash achieves nothing in regards to updating the sound system if a dirty update is not recommended. It became apparent in the first ARISE Nexus 6 roms that it was much more logical to simply use tupac's build for the sound system for the frequency of sound system changes. That's why I want to be sure that I maximize that next rom build. I certainly appreciate the continued interest in every way! :good:
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
Understood. It's easier to have a working base to use to avoid problems (unlike android N) and achieve what you set out to do faster and with less issues and not much troubleshooting. Next rom build will be nice as hell I know for sure, smooth sailing just like the previous. You always come through, thanks for the hard work and dedication, young man. Guitardedhero aka vampirehero
[Android Software Development] slayerz:
hh, that's my birthday date!

Thanks for the input [MENTION=6301651]ephexxis[/MENTION]. Once I get to try it I'll report.

I hope that code is not only for HTC handsets or something! I was gonna test ARISE anyways.
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
it definitely has an effect for me (asus zenfone 2) though due to my speakers being 6.0 with no dedicated center, the lfe is pure emulation "routed" by my amp but with surround effects enabled is certainly there. i just think with the extra dedicated channel you'll likely have a better effect.

honestly i think the efficacy of this prop is more reliant on ALSA which has definitive channel discretion in its config files but has since been removed from the stable 1.0 version of Arise. might work without alsa i just haven't tested it
[Android Software Development] shoxyy:
Beautiful viper 4 android installation. No bugs at all and it comes pre installed. Many thanks.

Guys, if you really want to know whats true soundquality is, enable viper ddc and choose HD800, HD600 or HD540 RG from Sennheiser. It blew my mind.
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
Good stuff.

I read your previous message, and gave your situation a try but I dont have any issues with nav with headphones. Works perfectly.

Hope yours is fine too by now. Good luck!

P.S- Its definitely the governor control. I forgot to mention this before but I once set the govs to powersave just to test things out. And just as expected, not just the music but the whole phone started to stutter and slow down even when screen was on.
[Android Software Development] ProudRed:
Hi, I am using sennheiser cx 213 earphones with audiophile 4.0 settings. Unfortunately I am not getting enough bass and quality sound as before when I was using some cheaper earphones, could you suggest me some necessary tweaks to get quality sound as before ?
[Android Software Development] anhsmile:
Which are ATMOS Sony Beast or DD+ Sony Beast better?
[Android Software Development] stueycaster:
Your new earphones have a more balanced sound than your old ones. You'll just have to crank up Dynamic Bass and/or Viper Bass some. You can't use settings that sound good for other people. I set up Viper with all my own settings.

I have the same issue with with mine. With the bass cranked up high I get that fat bottom sound I want plus great mids and highs. I love the sound.
[Android Software Development] chowhoundb:
I was able to get Viper Atmos 4.8 installed on my old 2012 Nexus 7. The plan was to use it for streaming music only. V4A is working and processing well but Dolby is force closing everytime I try to open it.

I attempted to install ARISE after clearing so junk from /SYSTEM, but the Atmos FC's are happening there as well. I should have grabbed some logs before I left the house this morning, but forgot.

Has anyone gotten Atmos working on the original nexus 7 yet?
[Android Software Development] Dissmeister:
Try different Viper DDC profiles. I've always used Monster Diesel Vectr profile all the way from my cx980 to ie80. Balanced bass and treble. Also try irs profiles. Ones I've stuck with are the HTC Boomsound ones. Real game changers :good:

I flashed a clean system and flashed ViperAtmos xPlay and after my usual deletion of the viper driver after first boot and then rebooting and installing the driver and reboot Viper worked fine on my Samsung S5, but I keep on getting Dolby Atmos FC though on a permissive kernel.
[Android Software Development] Punkiderma:
I'm not able to make the drivers stick.

Nexus 5x, resurrection remix,ex kernel, permissive selinux.

Tried all the 3 packages, but after reboot it still asks me to reinstall the driver!

What can I try?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] ctrlaltdeln:
Dude!,.....awesome. I've tested every version of arise since it's inception. When xplay was introduced in arise, i thought I had reached the pinnacle of sound.

The only short coming arise has for me is the extreme battery draw. Having discussed this in the telegram group, nexus users see a negligible draw on battery at most. So it may just be isolated to my device (note 4 TW rom).

But this sound system, this may change that, at only 20% the size of arise and 95% the sound.

I think you have something here. The highs are a bit sharp, what some may call "bright". But nothing that viper can't level out.

I gotta say, your killing it here dude. Keep up the good work, I'll be donating to your pc fund very soon.

With 2 babies at home here in Cleveland, OH money can be tight. Lol. I know it's not necessary, but you deserve it. You have certainly done me a service with your work.

My 2 year old love Alice in Chains, she might not love it as much if the sound wasn't as good as you've made it.

Be cool brother, thanks again.

I've flashed ViperAtmos and everything works except when load impulse response it says kernel is empty even though I've extracted the audiophile at its specific location.
[Android Software Development] sohojmanush:
Whats the difference ViPERAtmos 4.8 Sony Beats Universal Edition.zip and ViPERAtmos 4.8 Sony Beats Edition Driverless.zip. Is 4.8 contains Viper4android 2.3.4.0 ? Also, "Sony™ and Beats™ libraries and effects (No apk's or settings to look for!)" does this means beats audio and sony's clear+ audio work if get the walkman app ?
[Android Software Development] jnfjsf:
Working like a charm on my Moto G4 with Poweramp. All interested: don't forget to unchecked Direct Volume Control, all gain settings, and all other effects inside Poweramp, and let Viper do the heavy lifting. Using the pure Viper file with no Dolby or Sony stuff. Shure SE215 earphones on the road, Sony MDR-7506 headphones at home.
[Android Software Development] Mr.FREE_Bird:
Android 6.0 introduced the permission manager for apps, iff you want to use the Convolver presets, make sure you give Viper4Android storage acces in the permission settings. Otherwise Viper will tell you that you haven't any IRS files on your storage. You can just put the IRS files on your internal storage, system/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/Kernel. There you go!
[Android Software Development] raizor6th:
Yes mate, I've done that before posting here.
[Android Software Development] j0hnh0lmes:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I've always ran your files on my Nexus 5. I recently got a Samsung S7 and got root. I missed V4A so flashed your 4.8 driverless version. In doing so it's created a weird side effect. Anytime I reboot the phone my media volume will be very loud like it's at 100% but it's on mute. I have to volume step up and volume step down to get back into mute. I always keep all volumes on mute except when I'm on the car listening to music. I have no problem with the other sound profiles (notifications, alarms, etc).

Any ideas? I'm flashing via flashify.

Please let me know what I can provide to resolve.
