Damn, what a day lol! :good:

I apologize for the website that was linked for you guys. I was offered this contribution with a little sneak peak and then I was made aware that it was complete. I checked out the home page briefly and did not navigate further from there. It's not an excuse but I simply did not have the time or even the suspicion that it needed to be thoroughly inspected and I happily gave the user the benefit of the doubt. That entirely rests on me as I gave the ok, accepted the offering, and presented it to you guys and my team as something official. This, along with my yesterday's disaster, is simply unacceptable and I will not be so trusting going forward. This has been a trying last couple of days because of such, not to mention having to address false claims of stolen work among other things.

All of that is behind us now and we continue on unscathed. It seems that there is a faction against us which isn't anything unusual, but the outright lies and ulterior motives are hard not to take personally. It's likely widely known that I've called several people out for deception or theft over the years but I make it a practice to allow the user to explain first. Every single time I wait for another user to inquire about anything suspect and I wait until an answer is given to decide whether I should speak up or that the answer was honest and I move on, very happy that I stayed out of it and the user did the right thing.

My most recent calling out of someone for such behavior took an unusual turn, and I was quite embarrassed with what i was responding to. It went on way too long and led to that user filing a formal complaint of stolen work for use in Exodus. This involved more than one of us having to address this allegation to the satisfaction of the Moderator responsible for reviewing this complaint. Many of you are familiar with most of the available sound mods here at XDA over the last couple years, and I ask you this: Does our sound system resemble anything in the slightest that is found in any other sound mod? I just need a sanity check because I thought it was obvious that this is unlike anything made available before and assumed any other sound modder would immediately notice the same as I do. Apparently that's not the case or it's just a case of a hater gonna hate, neither of which I have any control over. In all my years here, I've never seen such a war-like mentality from one group to another, but then again, I've never seen something shake up a scene like we have either so I'll accept it as a form of flattery as long as it remains distraction-less for you guys and the team.

I apologize for taking so long to address this but there were some things I wanted to work on and complete so that I could provide it for you at the end of the post. :good:

I apologize for neglecting to provide clarity and purpose for the several branches and outlets of our team. ARISE has grown so massive and so quickly that I simply am unable to do a fraction of this alone. I have assembled a team of awesome people who are fully competent and capable to provide information and support for more than just XDA.

There are multiple team members that are fully in charge of Telegram and G+ communities, whose judgement I wholeheartedly trust. They prove day after day that they excell in the task and role given to them. They run the show wherever you find them outside of here. The role they have there is the role I have here. This project is only as massive and successful as it is because of every one of them as well as every one of you. :good:

What's your current status? We're you able to get a fully functional installation?

Thank you for your input, I've addressed this report in the next update. :good:

Fantastic! I addressed that report with RC6 or even with RC5/5.1 that never exist ed (lol) and am glad that the issue seems to have been sorted! :good:

If that happens again, before rebooting out of recovery, tap Advanced > Copy Log > Swipe, reboot, and attach /sdcard/recovery.log to a reply so I can examine the issue. :good:

If the preinstalled driver of the previous builds worked properly for you, you can flash that same driver using the driver zip in /extras/Miscellaneous in recovery. :good:

It's my fault for attempting to leave those HTC 10 Dolby Atmos presets as original as possible. Thanks to your reported scenario, I've decided to add the necessary GUI entries to those last remaining HTC 10 presets that did not contain them. This means that the entries for the GUI's are included in every preset. That also means that the audio_effects are no longer needed in the GUI Add-On zips. If you flash a preset, flashing a GUI Add-On will not change your preset. This is definitely the right move and one that took far too long. :good:

am3d is not included but the current version by ahrion is fully compatible as it patches the audio_effects files leaving the original contents fully intact. Just remember that am3d will only work if flashed on top of ARISE unless I add those entries to the audio_effects sets in the future. :good:

Thanks for ensuring I was aware of such possibility. The two libraries have been included in the sound system since the day that app was first made public. :good:

Release Candidate 7​

I've disclosed much of the changes in RC7 above but here's a simple log of changes:

Full Dolby Atmos GUI Add-On compatibility with all provided presets.

All audio_effects removed from the GUI Add-On's as they are unnecessary now when installing over Exodus.

Minor debloat, including unnecessary Bluetooth libraries that may cause Bluetooth issues.

Added a tfa library to go with the already existing lib64 tfa library.

I just remembered that I forgot to check for updated tweak.prop's/profiles to include so keep that in mind. If using one of our tweak.prop's or profiles, check the database linked in the OP for an updated version.
