Im on an old driver version. maybe I flashed wrong viper/atmos sony beats edition.
[Android Software Development] neonkat:
i think you flashed the 4.6 package,right?

many users reported that 4.6 has bettery audio than the new 5.3.X package.
[Android Software Development] Hitti2:
Yep, i flashed the 4.6 sony beats edition dark and light for the screenshots.

I though dark light was theme package.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Absolutely, there is a drastic difference between the two. Check /system/ViPER Version Info.txt and ensure that it says 4.6. :good:
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Those are themed but they are also apk specific.
[Android Software Development] ZabiGarma:
Regarding the installation directory.

I have:

/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android

and

/data/media/0/ViPER4Android/

The second directory has two folders inside: DDC and ViPER4ANDROID.

I extracted the files in the first directory. Should I also extract them to the second one? If so, should I extract it to any of the subfolders I mentioned?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Go ahead and save an open v4a tab as a new effect profile named ZabiGarma and tell me which directory it is saved to in the Profile folder. :good:
[Android Software Development] ZabiGarma:
It got saved in both directories.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Fantastic, you just want to be sure that the folder structure is correct. If you merge the ViPER4Android folder from the extracted zip to either of those two ViPER4Android folders in one of those two working directories you should be good. Profile folder will have a list of profile folders inside and the Kernel folder will have a list of files inside. :good:
[Android Software Development] ZabiGarma:
Thanks

Question, should the ViPER4Android folder be saved in those directories, or only Kernel and Profile?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
No, if you look in the ViPER4Android folder from the extracted zip you will see the Profile and Kernel folders. You can merge that ViPER4Android folder into the directory containing your working ViPER4Android folder so the folders within will merge. :good:

Edit*

I think I misread your post. Either method will work as long as the current folder/file structure is maintained. :good:
[Android Software Development] ZabiGarma:
Thanks

I think I need to move some folders, because within my ViPER4Android folder/directory there are 3 folders: DDC, Profile and ViPER4Android (which contains the folders Kernel and Profile).

I'm thinking that ViPER4Android folder shouldn't be within the ViPER4Android directory, so I should move Kernel and Profile out of it, and then erase that extra folder, right?

I think I have to do this because v4a won't find the Audiophile profile, only the one I just made.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Correct, move the Profile and Kernel folders out of the second ViPER4Android folder and place where that extra ViPER4Android folder sits and then delete the extra ViPER4Android folder. Be sure to select Expert UI Setting in v4a's Menu.
[Android Software Development] ZabiGarma:
Thanks a lot mate. It works great now.
[Android Software Development] danifilth4king:
Hey! Thanks for your hard work! Been waiting ages for a working version of this for my phone.

I installed V4A-Atmos Sony Beats Edition this morning. Has been working great all day, then I left my phone with the wired headset plugged in (and charging) for about 15 mins and when I picked the phone up it doesn't recognise the earphones any more. It works fine with other earphones and my earphones work fine on other devices. It's just this one particular pair of earphones that have stopped being recognised by Android. They're the stock HTC ones that came with my A9 and I'm on stock rooted rom. Tried SoundAbout app to force media to reroute, which works but it seems to bypass V4A, so sound quality is awful. Any ideas what could be wrong? I've tried restarting phone and re-flashing Viper4Android zip :(

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
:highfive:

Dani Filth would make a great king BTW! :good:

That's a really odd scenario there. You might try this trick:

Reboot phone

Turn v4a Headset off

Hit home

Sloooooowly insert the headphones, the more crackles and pops the better

Begin audio playback

Open v4a and turn on Headset
[Android Software Development] suaverc118:
Hey [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], I'm using the viperatmos 5.3 Sony edition and noticed when base is used higher than usual, say using rock mode or r&b vs flat, it starts to muffle the sound to push the base. Not sure how else to explain it. Anything you recommend other than using flat to help with it?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Probably a combination of the new apk and the AnalogX setting and FIREqualizer enabled. I recommend 4.6 with the Audiophile™ Profile, you should have great results
[Android Software Development] danifilth4king:
Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck...

It's like the entire system just stopped recognising the headset. When I plugged in it doesn't show the headset icon in the notification bar any more, but as I said, with my friend's headphones it works fine.

When I tried your trick it detected when the jack was half way in, but when pushed all the way in: nothing...

It's weird how this issue seemed to come out of nowhere, the phone wasn't even in my hand when this happened. V4A has been working all day, the only thing I did was plug in my charger. That couldn't be responsible, could it?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
That's a head scratcher for sure. Before that happened were there previous reboots where it still worked?
[Android Software Development] danifilth4king:
No, I hadn't rebooted before this issue.

I've got a spare pair of Skullcandys at home, with inline mic. They're detecting fine, playing media with V4A working fine too (Cradle of Filth sounds immense!)

Just tested the HTC earbuds on my laptop too with no problem, so it's not a hardware issue...

Head scratched indeed! At least I can make do with the Skull Candys for now, I was just trying to avoid wiping system ha

Cheers for all your help!
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I was wondering if it may have rebooted while charging maybe, like your issue was the result of the first reboot. Have you tried many players? I guess that doesn't matter if you're going by a notification anyway. I wish I knew where to steer you from here. Hopefully someone with the same setup knows something.
[Android Software Development] lokitooxd:
Is necessary disable MusicFX for install a Stock Viper?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
In my case, yes. You can certainly try with it enabled first.
[Android Software Development] lokitooxd:
Well, no disable and finally work with Viper Fix dr.Ketan (in Compatible Mode) i hope no lose the support
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
You should be good. :good:
[Android Software Development] Nickchapstick:
Hey guitardedhero I'm gonna crack flash again and was wondering... I usually wipe x4 then flash rom, kernel, gapps, supersu then boot up and install everything... Would there be any issues if I do the installing the same way but add your zip at the end? Just wondering cause the optimizing is terribly slow and annoying to do twice.

(apologies for spam [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION])
[Android Software Development] neonkat:
flash rom and everything(not v4a),boot up,do optimisation bla bla and afterwards go back to recovery,flash v4a package,reboot to system

i wipe nothing after flashing v4a and it is working for me.
[Android Software Development] Nickchapstick:
Why would it not work?

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

I've done it plenty of times that way. I'm asking if guitardedhero knows if for sure it won't work or if for sure it will work or if it depends on the rom/custom kernel combo.
[Android Software Development] mrrocketdog:
[MENTION=3405753]Nickchapstick[/MENTION] , bad joke/sense of humor on my part. no harm intended. please ignore my post.

[Android Software Development] Nickchapstick:
No offense taken.
[Android Software Development] gimpy1:
Guitar, I moved the V4A folder that had kernel and profile folders in it, from the "O" folder to under Legacy. The "empty" V4A that was in this location, I deleted. This was all done with Root Explorer. This kernel has 25 irs files in it (in Root Explorer). But when I open up the "impulse response" section in the V4A app, it shows it to be empty. Except for the one irs file that comes already loaded with it, from a past installation I presume (somehow I inadvertently deleted this file, now. It is now completely empty?).

Can you tell me why the irs files aren't showing up in the impulse response section so I can change to different ones?
[Android Software Development] neonkat:
so the op says we need to put the irs files at 2 locations,well i extracted them only at internal/ViPER4Android/*here*(under appropriate "kernel" and other folders).

all irs show up and work for me.
[Android Software Development] Nickchapstick:

[/COLOR]

A good idea is to open V4A then save one named "stock" for the profile. Once that is saved you can find the viper4android folder with that profile in it and know it's the right folder. You may be in the wrong folder. I did that by mistake cause I was in the wrong area. Try that.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Absolutely. :good:

The only possible cause for failure would be not enough available /system space provided by the rom.

Any post is fine, "spam" or OT talk. This is not that kind of place lol! :good:

Thanks!

Also be sure v4a's Storage Permissions are granted through its App Info page.
[Android Software Development] Agares69:
Hi, the last 2 times I did everything at once, after the wipe I flashed the rom, kernel, camera mod and V4A, everything worked. But that was a G4.
[Android Software Development] Sander9847:
I also do this all the time with my oneplus one. When I update my rom and kernel I flash like 8 zips at once.
[Android Software Development] kgirlx:
Curious as to what music apps you guys are using for this. I've used Power Amp in the past and now Player Pro,but never added Viper to them. I mostly use FLAC files on this LG G3. Playing mostly metal. Love the All Shall Perish mentioned in OP. Thanks for any answers and or tips.
[Android Software Development] Sander9847:
I use Poweramp and I also have quite a bit of flacs. But OP mentioned that USB Audio Player is the best by far. (can't confirm it though, never tried it)

But the biggest reason I use Poweramp is because I really like the ui and the ability to add themes.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
USB Audio Player Pro, hands down. :good:
[Android Software Development] kgirlx:
Is that the 1 that's 7.99 in the app store?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Yes, it may not seem worth it but the Google Rewards app is perfect for obtaining such apps for free if it's available in your country. :good:
[Android Software Development] kgirlx:
I'm in USA. I'm reading that I need a OTG cable if I want to fully utilize the app. What DAC are you using?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I'm not, I don't even have an external DAC! There is s setting to select "Play Through Android" for use when not using a DAC. :good:
[Android Software Development] Agares69:
Most of the I use Spotify, but for flac music Neutron. I was thinking on USB audio player too, but since I don't have a DAC, there's no point to buy it I guess.
[Android Software Development] Brice_J:
Oh damn.! When I activate v4a the sound is perfect but there is a background noise, like a breath... And when a desactivate v4a no noise but sound is not good... Any idea for this noise with v4a?

Envoyé de mon Nexus 5 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Could be the Convolver maybe, or your ViPER Clarity settings. Are you using a profile? What all is checked on your v4a settings?
[Android Software Development] boyka82:
I also get this background noise too...

Apart from that, all is good, but yes its a bit boring...

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] could you explain me what's the major diference between Viper Audio and

Viper Audio Sony Beats Edition?

I note a little diference from this two, while I listening music

in my lg g3 with my earphones (soundmagic e10m) but i cant

understand exacly from where!

Edit: Btw anyone know where I can find a "good" profile for viper4android with earphones soundmagic e10m?

And of course if anyone know what's causing this background noise In viper4android please share...
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
You get the background noise without Dolby Atmos™?

Beats™ adds a little bass boost that's real punchy.

Sony™ adds a bit of clarity.

You might want to make sure your kernels don't have Faux Sound.
[Android Software Development] boyka82:
Yes I get the background noise without DolbyAtmos

I have Viper4Android Sony Beats Edition 4.6 material black intalled...

And yes i have a custom Kernel (Gabriel kernel v0.8.3)

for Lg g3 5.0 lollipop, and Im not shore,

but yeah I think this kernel has Faux Sound built in,

I have to check it out...

however i think i don't have this sound

option activated in kernel adiutor...

Thanks for reply mate

Edit: I think I don't have this background noise in

viper4android Sony Beats Edition v4. 6,

but i have it in materialized one, but i dont shore,

maybe i have to flash "normal" edition again

just to confirm it I think...
[Android Software Development] Black_Eyes:
You Boy Rocks :angel: Been using Stock Viper4Audio 5.3 with your Audiophile 3.0 and i must say The sound is just so awesome.

Thank you very very much for such an awesome Mod :)
[Android Software Development] Stiffmeistro:
Hi what is this audiophile?

Do i need to flash this also?

or it is just optional?
[Android Software Development] neonkat:
*no need to flash,you need to extract them to 2 location,check post #1

*optional

*you can google "audiophile" to know about them.
[Android Software Development] Brice_J:
I try to uncheck convolver, change convolver. It's the same...

I used v4a since a long time without this problem. I have change to blissrom recently. Perhaps this noise with v4a start with this change. I didn't notice when the noise has started or on the occasion of what modication.

I have racer caf kernel and it's build with faux sound.

I'll try to found an other caf kernel without faux sound.

Thanks for your help [emoji1]

I tried flashing ViperAtmos 4.6 Sony Beats Edition but after rebooting into system, it reaches upto optimizing apps and then keeps on rebooting. Tried twice.

Device: Oneplus One

Rom: Marshmallow

Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0.5
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
That's really odd, I don't think this is normal for your phone/rom. You might try flashing again once your /system is restored and clean. :good:
[Android Software Development] rachit011:
Many from same rom tried flashing this edition with success, maybe issue is with my phone. I'll try flashing it again the next time I clean flash then.
[Android Software Development] Xipe_Totec:
Just a question: I am trying the others package after the vanilla viper4android.

[Android Software Development] gimpy1:
guitardedhero, I think I need help in finding my irs files (you can refer to my post #1257). My impulse response section in the V4A menu settings show it to be empty and a pop up shows the kernel to be in the /storage/emulated/legacy/V4A/kernel (empty).

When I go into "Root Explorer" and go to this location, the only folder under "legacy" is the V4A sub folder. When I click on the V4A sub folder to open the kernel sub folder, It (kernel) is not there. I have tried to move/create a kernel folder there, but, it "fails" and will not make one.

I have messed with this so much (l don't know what I may have done to mess it up) and nothing seems to work.

FYI, I did try your suggested system wipe and dirty install (5 or 6 times) without success (it kept boot looping). This could possibly be related to my recent install of marshmallow on my Droid turbo, which I just installed a couple of days ago.

Help? ?

But then, I get the error message, "copy failed". The impulse response section in the V4A settings is still showing empty.

I'm not sure what you are talking about in "V4A 's storage permissions granted thru its app info page"?

I have had some success using your settings up until I went to cm13. I will keep trying ?, though.

Hey i am using v4a 5.2 Atmos with Sony beats on HTC one m8 jazz rom. I am getting everything working and the only problem is the audio profiles which do not seem to take effect. If I select a profile, there are no changes made in the v4a. I have followed all the instructions properly and everything else is working but this. I have also tried all the other versions uploaded by you and am getting the same outcome. I cannot seem to load a saved profile.

Save an open v4a tab as a new effect profile named something unique. See where it is saved and what permissions it has. You might need to match those permissions with the ones you've manually added.
