Of the Sony one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Sorry for the delay guys, one more day of audio testing to see if 4.9 will be built-in or the previous 4.8.1.x. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZionFreak:
Just flashed the Fluence HD patch over audiophile 1.2 build. Still have Cata mod installed as well. Not sure if I can tell a difference in sound quality or not. Dolby Atmos app is force closing but V4a is working after a prompt to install the drivers. I also see that musicFX came with the Fluence mod. I removed that from system. Not sure if I'm digging the DPI. Guess I'll restore a back up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Still the no in call audio issue on 4.8.1?

Is possible remove this version and flash 4.8?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Disable MusicFX in Android Settings in this rom.

Extract FLUENCE mod, delete the MusicFX folder, and rezip.

Use this tweak.prop I edited to restore or keep 560 DPI and added a blank line at the bottom so the last entry is included during patching. Rename to tweak.prop when ready.

Also attached below is my corrected tweakprop zip to restore build.prop permissions in the event that tweak.prop is not found to prevent a bootloop. :good:

Nexus 6 never experienced the muted in-call volume. Has this happened for you?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] harpin14789:
I am currently on xperia 1.3 with the fluence tweak.prop, but made edit to have 493 dpi. I also have cataclysm mod installed with xposed. Have not experienced any problems so far. Hopefully it will stay like that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Today for few seconds but i will stick with 4.8 man but 4.8.1 sounds phenomenal daaaaaaaarnnnnnnn
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
No doubt about it! I am not convinced yet that 4.9 should be in these roms but any issue is unacceptable so it is important that any audio or volume issue is reported. I just haven't experienced a single one so assumed the same for any user. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
OK so can try on clean flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] harpin14789:
The xperia 1.3 version comes with viperatmos 4.8.1 right? What changes is 4.9 set to include?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Here comes another weird situation -- I have tupac4u's base updated ROM, with Root , xposed, and Elemental kernel

I tried to flash both your add-on and Fluence HD Patch 2

When I flashed your add-on it errors out and says "Disable Music FX" during the flash. When I flash the Fluence Patch it doesn't seem to do anything (no apps are added, etc, but no errors during the flash).

I do not see Music Fx in the apps list nor do I see it in TiBu --- I even tried to delete Music Fx folder (which was empty!) in the priv-app folder

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Remove any added build.prop lines first as they very well could be the culprit. Wipe system and flash rom if that doesn't fix it. :good:

4.8.1.x, to be exact. Adds /etc/surround_sound not found in 4.8.1. Version 4.9 is 4.8.1.x with ALSA removed which restored volume issues in Android N which I was hopeful was the cause of the volume issues other devices experienced.

The "error" is a ui_print line I added as a reminder, not an error in TWRP which will always be a red line if from TWRP. I have not seen Patch Two, but I would examine its contents to know what to look for on your device to check for a successful installation.

Any thoughts on 4.9?​

I will have something tonight but only with what sound system you guys prefer. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
I understand about the print line

But the flash reports "Failed"

So even your add on will not complete
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Oh gotcha! :good:

Flash again, after receiving the error, go to and select Copy Log to SDcard. Once booted, attach Recovery.log to a reply so I can view the specific cause of the error. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Here ya are
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Thank you for providing the log! :good:

The error is a result of /system/su.d/50viper.sh not existing before the attempt to set permissions for that file. Does /system/su.d/50viper.sh exist on your device?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
I don't actually even have those exact folders

su.d is in another folder

See screenshots
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Okay, nothing is being written to /system which TWRP doesn't notice. What it does notice is the first attempt at setting permissions for a folder or file not present. You might try mounting system in TWRP before flashing. If system is already mounted once TWRP loads then unmount system and flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Thank you

I get same results after flashing the cwm repair and replacing the meta file and re zipping the media add on

Attached is new log
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
The only additional info I could give is that I had an issue earlier, before trying to flash the media add on, because my Secure Settings app could find root. I had to fix it by doing the commands found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/com...ngs_doesnt_recognize_root_even_though/cxtvflb

Wonder if that screwed something up?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
[MENTION=230362]jcrompton[/MENTION], when did you update to TWRP 3.0.2.0? I didn't know there was an update after 3.0.0.1, did your issues start immediately after a TWRP update?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Not sure

I think whatever I did with the fixing of Secure Settings with the adb commands is what somehow messed up the system

Did you happen to see my PM?

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Sorry for any time I took from you and your family --- not sure what happened (I had installed tupac4u base, viper and xposed and then modified to get the Secure Settings to work or recognize root)

But I finally just Wiped everything and repaired my System file system --- installed the latest PN ROM and now a backup works properly!

Has anyone had any experience with suing the Sony add-on with PN or other AOSP base ROM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Feel free to ask anything at any time man, if I'm out of pocket, I'll certainly make sure to see and respond to every post. I'm so glad you got it sorted and your experience is a valuable lesson for others that partition permissions should be carefully maintained.

I think 4.8.1.x will be in today's MMB29X build which I'll be putting together when I get back to the house in a bit. I've been on Android N and the lack of Root Explorer compatibility has forced me to find an adequate, compatible file manager with which to work and familiarize myself. I also had to take a little break and do some family stuff. I'm ready to get everything going finally. :good:

After the MMB29X builds are ready and posted I may start getting an N build up as well. Now's the time to put in any requests.

Edit*

I haven't had a chance to check out the Stable Sony Music 9.1.7.A.0.0 apk just made available but would you guys prefer that over the 9.1.7.A.1.0 apk that has been used in the roms?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Thanks for your work .... I do hope that someone is helped by my experience. Hopefully the posts were clear enough to make the search engines.

I definitely have tried N several times but intermittently come back to M. The FxExplorer (that [MENTION=6320543]RatchetPanda[/MENTION] suggested) works pretty well for N and easily makes the N System R/W. And to be honest is fairly similar to newer Root Explorer interface that I , by the way, don't care for.

If you have any ideas about the lag that many users mention using various setups of N that would be priority #1. I think [MENTION=6320543]RatchetPanda[/MENTION] thought I was joking but the best way I can describe the lag is that it is "stuttery" -- not so much slow , but a bit digitized -- it's a little annoying.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I think I've fixed the lag because users weren't saying anything in early builds but after 4.5 when I added some extra battery saving things it started happening so I took them out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] frenchy714:
Just tried flashing Xperia 1.3 (tried dirty flashing and attempted clean install) and got stuck at Google screen; I'm currently on Xperia 1.1. I downloaded a couple times in case of a bad download, but no dice. I'm on latest TWRP recovery and didn't flash a custom kernel. Thanks in advance for the response.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Mind sharing or sending me a PM with your findings?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Stock N image is stuttery as hell for sure. It will require a serious debloat which I will prepare after MMB29X. Almost done, just finishing some edits and then will zip and upload. :good:

Always select the Copy Log to SDcard option in TWRP before rebooting so we can see exactly what TWRP did. I'm not sure what could cause that as I ran that version for a long time before flashing N.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] frenchy714:
OK will do next time I attempt to flash. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Out of curiosity --- any reason you haven't or don't use AOSP bases as compared to Stock ??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Honestly I find images easier, I get lost in all that GitHub stuff.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
The honest answer is I have no computer to pull and compile. That is why I rely on tupac4u as my source for a base on which I am able to work using just a Nexus 6.

MMB29X-TP ViPER|Atmos™ Audiophile™ Edition​

Please have an acceptable backup as I am still on N and have not flashed this.

It includes a proper installation of the Audiophile™ Profile, built-in tweak.prop support, Sony™ Music 9.1.7.A.0.0 Stable, and ViPER|Atmos™ 4.8.1.x Sony™ Beats™ Edition.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Thanks! Still Android Pay compatible?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Of course! Xperia Editions are the only ones that will break Android Pay. :good:

Please let me know if this flashes successfully guys! :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Flashes successfully but having intermittent weird thing .... twice since last night I got a phone call and there was no in call sound. When I tried to reboot I saw that I had lost my Advanced Power menu to reboot. When to xposed and saw that I had lost it --- said that it was not activated properly. Rebooted the phone manually and all seemed to work as it was supposed to sound , xposed and everything else. Woke this AM , received a call and it had done it again.

Not sure what it is but after a reboot all is back to normal
[Nexus 6 Android Development] martinez5241:
What did you flash?

MMB29X-TP ViPER|Atmos™ Audiophile™ Edition? What else did you flash besides xposed? Are you using the latest xposed v81?

I had an issue similar to yours put it turned out to be the LP app when it gets activated by xposed it would boot then after 1-2 mins it will self reboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
I stick with 4.8 for now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
I'm assuming you prepared your mods after installing right?.are you using a tweak.prop in /sdcard?

Edit*

I just remembered that I was testing a new audio_policy edit which may be the culprit for voice call issues. I also forgot to include the kernel script but that shouldn't cause any issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
MMB29X-TP ViPER|Atmos™ Audiophile™ Edition​

Elite Kernel script now included after inadvertently left out of the previous zip. Corrected audio_policy.conf.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Just fresh installed the 29x release. Running great!

Two questions:

1) if I want to run Blackbird Kernel what us the best way to install since this doesn't come with a stock boot image?

2) when I apply Art 2.0 layer theme it makes the background a solid shade of grey (normal). Maybe it's because it's visible with the grey, but I notice the screen flickers slightly when touching the device. Almost like there's an input boost that's taking power away from the gpu or something. Maybe it's a HW issue with my device because on other ROMs I get screen tearing as well.

Edit: to clarify I'm in yesterday's release
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZionFreak:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] Can I just flash that zip or do I still need to copy tweak.prop to internal storage? Do I need to do anything else? I'm a bit confused with the Fluence HD mod. Is that included? Is the DPI changed to default in your zip? Edit: I did read your files on preparing the tweak.prop but I'm still confused.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
1) If you are concerned with ramdisk remnants then you can install the stock boot.img from tupac4u's stock rom zip and then flash B14CKB1RD after that. Or just go ahead and flash B14CKB1RD on top of Elite.

2) That sounds like Adaptive Brightness with a low brightness setting. You can either disable Adaptive Brightness or increase the brightness slider a bit.

I recommend flashing the new link I posted to get the audio_policy correction.

Your /sdcard/team.prop will not be affected by the rom or any of my zips. The DPI in the rom is default at 560 and will only be changed if your /sdcard/tweak.prop has an entry to change it. If you've placed a tweak.prop in /sdcard, then carefully go over every entry to confirm what you want in /system/build.prop after the flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
So this not have the no audio in call issue! and what's mean TP...?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Hasn't happened anymore today ---- but I just dirty flashed the latest upload and then updated my xposed to 81 for safe measure.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

So to be honest I'm not sure what I experienced was the same thing that has been mentioned elsewhere. The reason is that when this happened (that is -- no in call audio) for me there were screwy things going on with my xposed installation as well.

I think it best to assume that there are no problems unless I have them more consistently or unless someone else reports something.

Edit -- also I think the "TP" you are referring to is tweak.prop .... search this thread for a very detailed explanation of the work done by [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] regarding teak.prop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Bud with the 4.8.1 I get no audio in call this is why I ask
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Oh oh I see. Are you referring to flashing 4.8.1 as a single add on or are you referring to flashing the entire updated ROM that was just posted?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZionFreak:
I just flashed the zip you posted and did receive an error about not being able to mount cache. Also, flashed all that I always do including Cata mod, SuperSu, and Xposed. Phone booted fine and all is working well. I just won't know how to add the Fluence HD sound tweaks. Do I flash the tweakprop.zip file you added in the ROM? Or flash the Fluence HD mod editing the lines I don't want? Sorry, I have so many different tweakprop files, I'm now officially confused, lol.

Edit: I think I need to know what to do. I'm gonna flash the file with the tweak.prop you gave me the other day a few posts back in this thread! :cyclops: Double edit: All is working and I think I did it right. Flashed the tweak prop zip you gave me after renaming the Fluence HD.txt to tweak.prop.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
4.8.1 works flawlessly on Nexus 6 unless something extra is added on your end. Future updates for MMB29X and future builds will include 4.8.1.xy and up which should help your current status anyway. :good:

That is from tupac4u's updater-script when trying to wipe /cache at the very end of the installation which doesn't affect the installation anyway. I'll see if mounting /cache in the script removed that error. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Both but with this new version will see

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

The only mod I will test is the Fluence Patch.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Duplicate
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
I think I'm not completely understanding the tweak.prop stuff. I flashed the latest update right after you uploaded it. The first thing I noticed was that my DPI was 493 ..... So I assumed that an old tweak prop from Fluence had influenced my install.

I deleted tweak.prop from my sdcard and reflashed the ROM after I believe you re uploaded with the kernel script. It still was 493 DPI. Shouldn't deleting the sdcard tweak.prop have allowed the native DPI ?

Can you post a fixed tweak.prop with brief instructions on what you would suggest it to be or what you use?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayk32:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

For the past few days I've been using your - Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Marshmallow Media System ViPER|Atmos Edition. :cool:

Working like a charm, nuff said !!

Cheers mate !! :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZionFreak:
On page 49 of this thread, there are 2 files guitardedhero uploaded. Just rename the text file to tweak.prop and flash the tweak prop zip in recovery. That's what I did and all is well. I didn't flash the Fluence HD this time around. Just wanted the sound improvements.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] frenchy714:
Can I flash the Audiophile edition over the Xperia edition without issue, or is a clean install necessary?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Please understand that FLUENCE HD has an enormous set of audio lines among many other lines that can result in all kinds of different issues. I am certainly not criticizing FLUENCE HD by any means, I just would like you to test your issue before adding dozens of audio lines to your build.prop. :good:

You have a tweak.prop somewhere in /data/media. Please post your recovery.log which will explicitly state the tweak.prop file being utilized. :good:

Thank you very much man! I needed some good news lol!

Absolutely, the installation script in each rom wipes system first. :good:

Edit*

You can then install the Xperia add-on afterwards if you want the Xperia stuff.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] L0p@n:
Apologies if this question was asked before.

My N6 is prompted with March 2016 patch update and I'm unable to install the update (obviously). Will the latest rom that you uploaded will have this update and solve my update prompt issue?

I'm using MMB29Q Viper Atmos
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Yes, the only update prompt would be the N Beta update of opted in to Google's N Beta Program.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
I did just what you suggested ...... Worked like a charm. [emoji106]

And yes I agree .... So far this is the best I've used , at least for the first day. Great battery with your kernel choice. And great sound!!

You still working on N ??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
I ran out of space when copying folders/files. It's a major pain the way I have to do it which is:

Install stock image

Copy desired folders/files to working directory

Deodex apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app

Edit certain files like build.prop, audio_policy, etc...

Merge desired ViPER|Atmos™ build

Merge Sony™ Music suite except for permissions/framework

Decide on kernel

Write script to symlink and properly install chosen additions

I ran out of space at the second step lol! Once the MMB29X build is confirmed to be fully functional with no issues, I can properly add it to the OP, delete all its files, and work on N. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Thank you

Sure working great for me!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Works great here as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Perfect, I'll make a minor edit before putting in OP and call it done. I'm thinking about just removing the wipe /cache line at the very end to get rid of that error in TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZionFreak:
Working awesome here as well! Do it to it! Thanks bud!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GenoAndroid:
This may just be my favorite ROM. After you get it configured to your liking it's hard to top. I got xposed installed and I flashed cataclysm mod for all the goodies. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get the Sony themes to work. Any way to help?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much man!

Themes was the only thing I never tested as I'm not really a theming type person. When preparing it looked as if everything would work and then I tested not that long ago after a user mentioned your very issue and themes downloaded from the Play Store simply would not show up to select. There is likely something missing that needs to be added in. I remember the Style apk's causing a "Style has stopped" toast message after booting so I removed those thinking they weren't necessary for anything that seemed to be working.

I'll update the Xperia add-on and let you guys try it out to see if that helps at all. Sony Music Beta is still at 9.1.7.A.1.0, the Stable build was recently updated to 9.1.7.A.0.0. Would you guys prefer the new Stable or the current Beta Sony Music?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZionFreak:
Google just released ANOTHER factory image for the Nexus 6. WTH man. Lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] omaralkha99:
hey [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I have a problem with wifi issues and I know this isnt directly related to ur rom because it happens to almost every rom I tried but maybe 1 or 2. So after flashing a new rom connecting to wifi takes like 2 minutes, when usually it should be 10 seconds, then after rebooting it sometimes never connects until I manually do it my self. So I was just wondering if you encountered this issue or know any fixes. data and bluetooth work as they should though, and I clean flash every time I flash a new rom....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
I haven't run into that at all in the past that I can ever remember.

Is this your home WiFi?

Have you powered down your router for several minutes?

Have you tried turning on Airplane Mode, enabling WiFi, allowing it to connect, and then reboot to see if it's still not connecting right away?

Is there more than one Access Point in range that is configured in your device to be able to connect?

Do you use tweak.prop that automatically adds a preset of build.prop entries?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] omaralkha99:
Ive tried all of that, I will tell you though it only happens to my home wifi, which is by att u verse we recently got. So when I try to connect it will say connecting for 3 seconds, then just go back to saying saved under the wifi name. This repeats a few times around 2 minutes then randomly it finally connects. I tried doing this without even flashing gapps or any apps just clean flash of rom and problem still occurs. Tried with different kernels and radios, must be the new att wifi then.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
The next step I would perform is disabling any security key, forgetting the Access Point on the device, and immediately reboot. Once booted, tap on the Access Point to connect and see if it immediately connects. Then reboot and watch the connection. If all good, forget the Access Point on your device, resetup your security key on your router, then reboot your device. Once booted, tap on Access Point and enter security key and connect.

If your issue still persists then test with another device within range of the Access Point.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] omaralkha99:
well it half worked lol. So instead of around 2 minutes connecting its now around 20-30 seconds, I wonder if it has to do with the frequency band. will do more testing and reply soon

Edit: So i changed frequency to 2.4 only and that seemed to do the trick, hmmmm
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardedhero:
That's certainly an improvement. Keep in mind that 2.4 cuts through walls and obstructions much better than 5 as well.
