Finally off work, it never fails to happen when a big update is released for testing lol! So how are you guys enjoying it so far? I've been extremely pleased through the entire day's testing. This is what I was working towards when this project started and maybe, it has even exceeded my expectations.

I hope many of you, especially new-comers just getting to know me, realize I am not a chronic updater that is never satisfied, on an endless dragon chase lol! I knew the potential when i started working with the various device files and was going to find the best combination possible until I would rest. It certainly tool longer than anticipated, and every other project of mine has been neglected for this current build, but my other projects will benefit immensely from this week's progress that I'm sure, but hope others will feel, was well worth the neglect.

Finally, you guys continue to prove why this is one of the most helpful and user-friendly communities in all of XDA. I love it when someone registers to participate after lurking for a long time, which I believe many times is the result of witnessing the way you all conduct yourselves, because they feel confident that they can pop in and feel value in themselves and their input. I'll never forget the day I finally registered on XDA to participate and that I, at one time, didn't even have enough posts to post in this forum for a while. There is much knowledge gained elsewhere and offline, post counts mean nothing. One can say a lot more with 5 posts than some others have been able to muster with 500. My prolonged absences at times are spent assured that there are more than enough users that are more than capable enough to continue and promote this thread's helpful and welcoming vibe. :highfive:

Huge thanks to you sir! You've been a monster with the assistance and offerings you've provided. I missed you during your extended "vacation" away from XDA and am just ecstatic to have your presence back, especially at this time which is certainly the most exciting time I've experienced at XDA. We are doing some real work and shaking up the entire sound mod scene and I am absolutely grateful you are here to experience it and make it even better! :highfive:

I'm thrilled you're enjoying the new build and I certainly appreciate your hanging in there with me as I know it has been quite frustrating for you for a while dealing with compatibility issues until I could get you guys sorted! :highfive:

Have you tried saving a new effect profile as a unique name and searching for that folder of the same name in the possible /ViPER4Android/Profile directories? I have many possible working directories in the OP, just be sure you look in the Profile folder for that newly saved profile folder. Once found, you've found your working v4a directory, which can change at times. :good:

Oh man, what an awesome review! Your words put me exactly into your listening experience as if I was listening to what you were listening to while you were thinking such thoughts lol! That might be a little over the top but I honestly couldn't explain it any other way! I appreciate you too, as we've been on this journey together for the longest time with many of us, including sonophilos. Thank you so much for your friendship. :highfive:

Usually, rom settings are stored in /data, so your only restores would be the system mods you normally do after flashing a rom. I hope it's not too inconvenient for you and I know the constant updates lately are more than many want to handle and create a hesitation to do so, but we might already be at that point where we have our very first stable build.

If testing had not gotten so popular and widespread which created pressure to create a thread to avoid the mass confusion that resulted, this would have been the build I opened the thread with. If the reports maintain the same status they presently do, then compatibility has been satisfied with this build. Honestly, not all devices will ever have 100% success but it seems that compatibility has reached the same compatibility rate my ViPER|Audio™ series has achieved. It's certainly above average, all you have to do is take a look at other threads. And all these files besides v4a are brand new, with 70-80% of them or more never being used before. :good:

I apologize for the confusion, the presets are nothing more than a set of audio_effects.conf files which is what decides which libraries and effects are activated and how they used for processing. There is no ViPER4Android profile included in the sound system installation, which is already loaded with the Exodus audio_effects.conf preset, but there are several throughout the thread users have shared with everybody. Also, my Audiophile 4.0 Profile I've been working on for years is available in the OP attachments section and can be extracted and placed into your working v4a directory. :good:

Thank you very much! I'm sorry I neglected to post the updated zip. I certainly have tunnel vision at times and I've been successful at blocking any and all distractions until I was satisfied with this sound system. I've got the updated zip now that also has the new Sony Album app which is a fantastic gallery app. I'll get that uploaded and linked now. Thanks for the reminder and for your offering! :highfive:
