[Android Software Development] :
After a solid hour and a half of testing on RC9.1, I have concluded that I don't like its sound as much as RC8's. The treble seems muffled, softened, less "crisp" than previously. Bass is present and rounded but not as immersive as previously, and the jump in clarity in the midrange that was realized before seems to have stepped back a bit as well.

I've also discovered that my Headphones profile sounds substantially better using a different ViPER-DDC than my own - in my case, using the Audio-Technica ATH-A2000X profile on my Audio-Technica ATH-M50s was a noticeable improvement in the soundstage.

Updated Profiles available here - not sure why changing the DDC profile caused the Profiles zip to double in size, but hey, it sounds great. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OgctcRCMJveEFiTlAxNVFsNUk/view?usp=drivesdk

I've also put up a quick update to my tweak.prop to reflect the now-common-knowledge removal of ALSA in RC9, as well as to comment out the 64bit offload property by default in case that causes compatibility issues on non-ARM64 devices. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OgctcRCMJvYmFuanFDNWV1UWc/view?usp=drivesdk

I'll be testing a bit more on this version tonight, then I'm going to roll back to RC8 and see if I still feel like I prefer its sound. Hope this helps. :good:

Dolby Atmos working again in 9.1 no fc so far. Last working version for me was 8.2. Moto G3 BrokenOS.
[Android Software Development] Deadeye*:
I feel similar on my htc 10 when using 8.2 I think sound had more bang more bass.

On v9 it felt more clarity more harsh.
[Android Software Development] Brock Guffman:
Just an FYI from the LG V10 front ( i think im the only one heh) have no issue with the volume or bass on the 9.0 for LG ....sounds way better than 8.6....using Sonophilos tweak prop and profiles with Neutron with ephexxis tweaks...digging it .... the 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC the V10 has may add something (it fires up no issues)
[Android Software Development] saurabhw97:
Hey guys, I am new to this thread, can anyone just explain how to install this? I have read the instructions in post #1. But not sure how to get Dolby atomos and stuff.
[Android Software Development] :
Please read the OP and OP2+ thoroughly. Everything you need to get set up is in those first posts, with instructions.

Alternately, you can try [MENTION=6320543]RatchetPanda[/MENTION]'s excellent Aroma installer which walks you through your options and installs them. Here it is for the latest at writing, RC9.1. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242687694 Hope this helps. :good:
[Android Software Development] saurabhw97:
How to get Dolby Atomos?

Not able to find the presets..
[Android Software Development] :
Try the Aroma installer I added a link to in my post above. It walks you through your options including Dolby Atmos and tweak.prop. :good:
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
So RC8.7 was pretty sweet, eh?

I recommend to first try the normal build and only use the for LG build if your LG device did not function properly with the normal build. If it's only Bluetooth negatively affected by the normal build then delete the libbluetooth and libbt libraries from /system/lib & /lib64 and /system/vendor/lib & lib64. :good:

You may want to wait if you're not interested in flashing a few test builds until the final. If you really want to try one, RC8.7 seems to be the most recent highlight test build.

Download and extract the zip so that you can examine and familiarize yourself with the contents. 220MB is the minimum amount of /system space in order to successfully install the main sound system zip in recovery and is the only mandatory step. Additional post-install activities can be found in the /extras folder of the extracted sound system zip with instructions for each one. :good:

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

That's great to know and is still a mystery as to why you had such a different experience with one build from the other. A bit later, it dawned on me that there has been a lot of sound degradation with certain roms and updates within the last several days and I was actually expecting you to report the same unsatisfactory SQ, thinking RC9 was timed perfectly with your rom's update perhaps.

If you tried RC8.7, do you remember it being exceptional? I sincerely appreciate your helping me with this! :good:
[Android Software Development] saurabhw97:

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] just sent you a pm for the phone call processing ;) as said, your tweak doesn't enable processing when using regular phone speakers. Didn't test out Bluetooth or headphones yet. Will try later.

[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I apologize, my inbox is out of control, making it too easy to continue neglecting it. I do remember doing that and remember doing it thinking you were seeking Bluetooth voice processing. I'll take another look for you. :good:

I think I fixed it, but I'm not spending anymore time cleaning up or doing damage control. What I have done in the last one to two hours are the last things I need to be doing during these final 24 hours.

Aroma for Exodus RC9.1​
[Android Software Development] matssa:
Hehe thanks again! I bet it is havoc since your must have a lot of demand for ARISE :) Just tested it out with phone call using headphones and doesn't process. I called after I had the headphones on. So what I would like to have is full processing when in a phone call when I use the normal way with the phone speakers (seem to be hard though), using heaphones and using bluetooth).
[Android Software Development] diegobn:
RC9.1 report: I regret but I have to say it, the sound is not crystal clear as before (at least comparing with 8.8 that was the latest I tested), expecially from mids to lows, though basses have been improved a lot! Just a little more tweaking on effects and the stable is on the way to go!

Sadly Dolby still FCs (as posted before, I installed 8.8 on a dirty flash having removed the dolby apps and libraries before flashing but there's nothing to do with it, Dolby hates my phone... or it's the other way around).

That said, I tuned again my prophile (attached, you only have to unzip it inside sdcard/Viper's folder) and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Once the stable will be released I'll end up my humble props and share on this thread to anyone interested.

Thank you guys as always for your work!
[Android Software Development] matssa:
[MENTION=6320543]RatchetPanda[/MENTION] I'm confused, you removed the system / data install info. Before, you justified if you were on N, there was system install, and on mm/ll, data install. Since then, it was removed. Why? Can I install on system when on MM?
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
should DDCs even be part of a profile? seems like it would only translate to people using similar cans to your m50xs, praise be to our lord audiotechnica.

ps try out AT T200, denon d5000, senny px88, and sony mdr ex1000 if you have good results with the a2000x. sorta similar bass profiles with varying other characteristics that may also jive with the rest of your viper build whatever it may be.

one thing that's kinda tricky about the m50s is the relatively flat or neutral sound they reproduce. great for studio work but kinda hard to "correct" for hahaha... I've been awake too long
[Android Software Development] King_root:
RC 8.8 is exceptional for me on my m8. Loud and crystal clear sound, I can hear every single instrument playing. Couldn't test Dolby or Am3d as even after choosing them in Aroma they don't show up in my app drawer but even without them sound is fantastic. Will probably stick to this for a while.
[Android Software Development] anttaz:
8.8 is awesome also missing the flash able presets. 9 has lost depth and volume levels

[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I appreciate the swift and honest reports guys! You would think that adding Fiio™ X7 sound libraries and effects to RC8.7 for RC9 could only make it better, right? Nope. Worse. :good:

Since your Inboxes seem out of control I write it here again:

A solution for everyone being able to submit getprop but not messing around with them could be a simple ftp host where everybody can upload their getprop. A common will move the files every minute out of the folder to a folder accessible by the webserver which is providing these getprops over a webpage (using h5ai as Apache index). With this procedure you can prevent anybody deleting anything from the getprop folder (instead of ftp you could also use a phone upload script).

As you eventually remember I offered you hosting the homepage (my server has enough space if you're interested) and got some ideas if you want to self host it:

1.) Take a free .tk address (e.g. arise.tk is free) so you can provide everything by yourself

2.) Get cool email addresses for yourself with [MENTION=267466]Arise[/MENTION].tk in the end :X

Just some thoughts though ;)
[Android Software Development] Roi007leaf:
Unfortunately getting viper processing in Phone calls is not possible
[Android Software Development] matssa:
Why not? [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] gave me some proposals in the audio_config
[Android Software Development] yung40oz84:
So I haven't flashed anything since 8.2, tried RC9 and the sound is weak, muffled, and just bla, what's the consensus on the best latest version? 8.8 is what I'm getting vibes of.
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Went from RC 9- RC9.1, 9.1 was a small improvement over the already horrible RC 9, the soundstsge is bad, the mids/highs are too bright. Using RP extras helped with the bass slightly but the overall sound is muddied, and uninteresting still when compared to previous builds.

Reverted to RC 8.7, which is giving perfect sound with k4 Dolby atmos. Looks like RC 8.7 is still using ASLA and atmos presets, hopefully you can build the final Exodus release off RC 8.7?

I actually think that perfect sound was achieved somewhere between RC 8.3 and RC 8.7
[Android Software Development] Roi007leaf:
From what I see.. Presets and ALSA was removed since 8.7
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Hmm.. you are right, I installed through aroma, which installed the presets, maybe I should just install 8.7 manually and see the difference in sound.

Thanks for correcting me :)
[Android Software Development] Roi007leaf:
Anytime bro

FYI since 9.1 the presets are removed also from the aroma
[Android Software Development] II_DiE_4:
This is starting to get really confusing..

Just in the last 2-3 days, we had 5-6 different versions.

Each version with different props, presets, files etc.

So how can you test thoroughly a version in just few hours? Did you all reflashing your ROMs and start again fresh? Or we have all the reports from dirty flashing, which could be the problem of the decreased quality?
[Android Software Development] JJEgan:
I don't reflash .

Nandroid backup restore system only .

You don't have to test every single release .
[Android Software Development] yung40oz84:
Why has the ALSA stuff been removed, is that the cause of the not so good sound quality on the latest builds or is something else? I am going to try 8.8 as many said that was good, I know 9 was bla, and I did not try 9.1, but if 8.8 is not that great I will try 8.5 with ALSA and see if major difference.
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:
Good looks guitardedhero, bout to flash 8.7 or 8.8 and see what's good.. GLs on the Aroma ratchet
[Android Software Development] tcat007:
For some reason I had skipped 8.7. Really loved 8.8 then tried 9.0 and was disappointed. Just tried 8.7. Definitely better than 9, probably better than 8.8 (too close to call). Sticking with 8.7 until final.

I've stuck with default arise except HK preset so comparisons are true. But now that I've settled on 8.7, which options might sound better?
[Android Software Development] Ntress:
Hello I'm new to this stuff

Just downloaded RC9.1 Exodus Aroma with stock settings..

any recommended profile to apply please for headphones?

using Sol Republic Track Air (if it's matter).

Thank you!
[Android Software Development] likonvampire:
I know I might not be using this mod to its fullest potential here is how I use it. I rely heavily on the profile that I have created in V4A. I only flash everything default and do not use any tweak props. I get the best sound and that it what works for my taste . If anyone is interested I can share my v4a profile . I have been tweaking and using this profile since N5 V4A days.

:)
[Android Software Development] JuanVillagran:
Are there not RC9.0 for Sony Xperia devices or is 9.0 compatible?
[Android Software Development] forty9er:
if you can i would like to try your profile thanks
[Android Software Development] Robot76:
They're all compatible for Xperia now since 8.8, because dseehx libraries (clash) has been removed, as the benefits in sound were too minute in favour of Xperia compatibility.....

[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
Just want to be clear on this method. All you do is make a backup of a clean system (no Arise) and reflash just that before trying any new version?

I usually reflash the whole rom.
[Android Software Development] Robot76:
Yes, that's correct;

1. Flash ROM, dirty/clean (both will wipe system and replenish with Rom's system).

2. Flash all the zips you always use except sound mods of course.

3. Boot to system once, -- so you don't have to go through painful time waster of 'optimising apps' again and again, only once.

Then backup system via twrp

Then all you have to do is restore system, flash Arise, boot into your system.

:good:

[Android Software Development] Jarheadflip:
Running rc9.1 so far so good havent tested everything yet though
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
Thanks. Just to be a pain in the ass, do you flash system, flash Arise, reboot, or flash system, reboot, then flash Arise?
[Android Software Development] Roi007leaf:
Only tweak will. Matter as presets and alsa are removed
[Android Software Development] Bud Horn:
Thanks [MENTION=2302101]Jarheadflip[/MENTION].... How does it sound compared to stock? I've been running stock the latest weeks as I grew tired in shifting versions all the time... But I'd like to try fiddling with a HTC 10 compatible version again, but with the speed this thread and the mod evolves under, it seems totally impossible to get a good overlook over which versions to test - but you think I should go with 9.1 for a start? I've read it gets a pretty rough criticism by the other guys in here compared to previous versions.... I just tried the 8.7 but that didn't work, unfortunately, as many has it as their favorite for now.

Thx for your answer, mate.

Dear Sir [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

I got some troubles with every tested version and my Bluetooth Devices.

I'm using the PowerAmp Alpha and got HighRes Audio enabled and tried to hear music.

It sounds like this

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57753b8d89a3b/sound.zip

I tried it with the aroma / without ... With tweak.prop / without and different RC of ARISE and I got the problem with everyone of it.

If I don't flash it, the sound is clear as it should be.

The problem does only exist on BT ...With cabled headphones the sound is clear too.

I got a Samsung Galaxy S7, running a custom ROM and a custom kernel.

I appreciate your help and thx for the awesome mod

PS: Big Thx to [MENTION=6449207]Roi007leaf[/MENTION] for trying to help me with that issue. Thx bro, you are one among the best!

No need to reboot after restoring system, just flash Arise afterwards and any other optional zips you wish to add and reboot.
[Android Software Development] johnb380:
Rc 8.7 seems to still have the Alsa in it as GHs tweak props have it in them. So I'm gonna try that and see if the sound is that much better than 9.1 as many have said it is.
[Android Software Development] Emilicious:
Gah! Idk if I ever mentioned this (too lazy to search) but no need for rc8.7 troubleshooting help. Woke up the next day and fiance showed me he got 8.8 working right off the bat...so that's what I planned on flashing, but the UI personilazation/ custom installs to elapsed time ratio was..............longer than anyone should ever do.

So by the time I got to ARISE I saw 9.1, flashed it, and it's beautiful!

I won't really be updating my A.R.I.S.E. as often as they're pushed out. Fiance will most likely...but I'll return for my update every 2-3ish weeks.

[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
I believe ASLA has been removed since RC 8.7. I reverted back to 8.7 because guitardedhero said it was good, need to try 8.8 and see how it sounds too.
[Android Software Development] wrongway213:
RC 8.7 is where ALSA got removed - I assure you guys any SQ reductions you have felt are not due to ALSA removal or removal of presets as 8.7, the version everyone seems to prefer had both removed already :good: I hope this helps dispell any confusion on this, as 8.7 has no ALSA, no presets and everyone love it.

[Android Software Development] Deadeye*:
I hope the SQ will come back, i have not tried 8.7 because of HTC base issue but when i was on older firmware 8.2 was sounding amazing. so i had 8.2 + HK + hero buildprop

With 9 it's just does not sound right anymore.
[Android Software Development] johnb380:
Well idk why 8.7 sounds so good then but it does. If it's not alsa then it's something else but I think it's got everything were looking for in this sound wise. 9.1 was defi Italy more muffled and the lows were very small and The highs and mids were to sharp. The sound just doesn't compare to 8.7 in my opinion ion.
[Android Software Development] nericollin:
I agree with this. Just tried out both in my car this morning. 8.7 is currently my favorite as well :)

RC9.2 Aroma

Changelog

- Removed presets

- Removed Sony option

- Updated to RC9.2

- Made some edits to srs_processing.cfg for better bass if you choose to install my extra stuff

- Changed how tweakprops were extracted and installed, you can now safely extract the zip and not have a bunch of tweak.props laying around
