Just racked up the money to get a DAC. Good to get one soon. Then its going to be even better. I am so glad that I got the m50x, it's such a good companion for A.S.S.
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
m50x?
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Audio-Technica M50x, those are studio monitor headphones. Got mine 2 years back for around $95. There was a sale for this a few weeks back for about $109 I think. Really good headphones in the sun $200 range. There a studio monitors, so they have a flat response with a little bit of bass which makes tweaking them to your liking so much better!

I know you suggested a DAC before. But do you have a specific DAC suggestions for sub $150 DACs?

sorry for late drop, had it built couple hours ago but forgot to upload. got distracted by the amazing sound!!

Possible Issues

- Dolby FC, may or may not happen.
[Android Software Development] bbender716:
FYI, I had dolby force closes until I manually enabled storage permission that was suggested earlier. :good:
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
Is the new dolby 6.6 or still 6.5?
[Android Software Development] dkb218:
Wow so like okay... This thread has gotten [Donald Trump voice] HUUUUGE! I believe I started following way back about 600 pages ago... A LOT has changed. Still my initial setup [had to be the 2nd revision still sounds GREAT]. I'll save myself a few days of living and stick with the original.
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Right? It sounds amazing. I am usually biased toward HTC 10 Dolby. But wow, hats to this build. [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] really outdid himself this time.
[Android Software Development] :
New Dolby is completely new port.
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
just wanted to clarify that regardless of what your audio player claims you're only outputting at 48k as that's the limit for Android. that wouldn't be a bad thing unless power amp is upsampling your 44.1 and 48k music to 192k, because that would introduce a lot of aliasing and degrade the quality, not to mention being more resource intensive.

if you were sending digital to an external DAC then upsampling can be mitigated but sending 192k to the on board DAC to be converted down to 48k again is not what you wanna be doing if just using the headphone jack

i was at frys the other day and the Creative Soundblaster G5 (which is significantly better than my e3) was on sale for 129.99 which is a STEAAAL. i wanted it so bad. thing has optical in AND out and a metal body. the e3 is still phenomenal for a portable amp if you can find it for around 50-75 bucks. i didn't see the e5 when i was there, im wondering if the g series is replacing it
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Yeah, I see what your saying. Poweramp is outputting 16bit/48khz to internal DAC.
[Android Software Development] Lycidias:
Still deletes my Google Services or Google Account :(
[Android Software Development] :
Nothing in the script gets even remotely close to your google account. Does regular ARISE do this?
[Android Software Development] tcat007:
This happened to me on rc6 and rc7. Also adds several undeleteable directories, and 10-15 apps disappear. Manual works fine. I only used manual on rc8.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Minor adjustments and debloat to eliminate any remaining bugs/issues. SQ should not be compromised in any way and should only be better if affected at all. Not designed as an upgrade from RC8, recommended to be installed after a rom flash. Please report anything not 100% satisfactory. Hell, even 100% satisfactory reports are fine too lol! :good:

Release Candidate 8.1​
[Android Software Development] CYoung234:
tcat007, what ROM are you using on your 6p? I am running the latest DU weekly with Elite kernel on mine, and the Aroma installs have always been flawless. Maybe it is one of the options you are selecting? I say no to Sony, HTC, LG, and use the regular Exodus with the HK preset and Soniphilus tweak.prop. But, I have used the JBL preset and guitardedhero tweak.prop without problems. This is either over a dirty flash of DU or from a clean flash of it, for RC6.
[Android Software Development] anttaz:
RC 8 is best yet, I just downloaded RC 8.1 to try
[Android Software Development] Jarheadflip:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] dont know if you saw my post thank you
[Android Software Development] churapa:
The logical thing to do is to upload both files, I guess.
[Android Software Development] supercell2000:
What are your settings in v4a?
[Android Software Development] tcat007:
Odd. I dirty flash DU, and select exactly the same as you. Can't imagine what would be causing it. Do you have an extra kernel or profile folder inside your profile folder (storage/emulated/legacy/viper)? Do you end up with an AriseAroma folder at Sdcard root? I get real strange things happening with Aroma so I quit. The manual method is getting much easier now that Dolby is included.
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
Is your dolby atmos working?
[Android Software Development] anttaz:
In rc 8 yes just flashing 8.1 now
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Absolutely, provide both. :good:

[Android Software Development] undyingdest:
[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I'v been lurking in the ARISE thread for a long time now and I just wanted to say.. WOW! You and the team have done an excellent job! This has brought out all the fun that my V-Moda M100's have been longing to show they can do without a DAC.

Theres only one thing missing though! the OP dosnt have any outrageous statements of how good the mod is like "WOW! My headphones are LITERALLY ON FIRE! Great work guys!!" before you get into any info about ARISE. ;D
[Android Software Development] anttaz:
Rc 8 works and rc 8.1 confirm Dolby Atmos working in both
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
What phone?
[Android Software Development] bbender716:
Works on mine as well. LG G5. Make sure you check the "Storage" permission on the dolby app.
[Android Software Development] anttaz:

[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
That's an unusual order, no?

Edit: did it that way and worked!
[Android Software Development] sadisticveneer:
RC8.1 working well with DU on Nexus 6P. Granted Dolby storage permissions and set to open. Great work mate, everything processing and sounds fantastic :)
[Android Software Development] gangrenius:
This works without selinux permissive, right?
[Android Software Development] BryanByteZ:
I dont have time now but i really want to try which zip i can flash? i am on lastest Resurection Remix MM Falcon Moto G 2013

Thanks.

EDIT

Tried last rc 8.1 but not works error 7 even if i clean install so my device dont have enough space, thanks anyway i will stick with viper+atmos.
[Android Software Development] chikimonke:
If I remember correctly you said you live near Milpitas, does that happen to be the Dolby in Santa Clara? If so, it's just down the street from my office.
[Android Software Development] V4LKyR:
Why doesn't this MOD have the latest V4A? The latest V4A version is 2.4.0.1 but this MOD has 2.3 something.
[Android Software Development] joetheshmo:
Because the newer v4a build has only one driver which most seem to think has lower sound quality than the super quality driver of the older v4a build.
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
Curious to hear your profile with the headphones. Attached is mine.
[Android Software Development] Lucki_X:
It didn't help :(

The same behaviour like before it with all RC builds.

Honor 7, SElinux permisive.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Don't feel bad, I can't even upload to the Downloads folder. It's sonophilos's Drive and I am the owner of the audio_policy folders and can't do anything either lol! I did return the runme.sh script I've been using forever for RC8.1 though, but am still interested in building the audio_policy database once everything is sorted. :good:

It's very unlikely, I have no control over the Dolby Atmos port as that is ahrion's component in the sound system. He is aware that Enforcing functionality is a high priority so he's on it. :good:

The sound system is not concerned with version numbers whatsoever. The highest quality version of any component is what lands a spot in the sound system. :good:

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Lol, that's quite awesome actually! :good:
[Android Software Development] Golf c:
I haven't flashed it yet, but the 8.1 zip has a file in it too change your selinux too permissive. So I believe the answer to your question is not yet?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Even RC8.1? If so, remind me the last version to work 100% for you. I assure you this will be corrected. :good:

I placed that temporarily while the Selinux issue for Dolby is sorted. RC8.1 is an attempt to provide the least trouble-free experience to ensure that any remaining issues are resolved. :good:
[Android Software Development] gangrenius:
So which version can I flash that I can leave selinux enforcing?
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
I tried how [MENTION=2123465]anttaz[/MENTION] flashed in this order: Flashed HTC 10 hk preset then full zip followed by tweak.prop, thought it was unusual sequence but tried it and no FC on 8.1.
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
I think you might've missed question back there. So, since RC 8 and higher use Lenovo Atmos, the HTC Dolby presets don't work right? The why is the Dolby version txt in system saying JBL+exodus? :confused:

Does this include DEE-HX and v10 Bluetooth files?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
You can still use RC8.1, but before rebooting from TWRP, do the following:

Mount > System

Advanced > File Manager

Navigate to /system/su.d

Tap permissive.sh > Delete > Swipe

Mount > uncheck System

Reboot

Otherwise, RC7 might be your preferred choice. :good:

Very unusual, I am perplexed as nothing lingers from that first step. :confused:
[Android Software Development] JBNex:
Anyone else use the Differential Surround setting in Viper? I find it provides a wider soundstage without distorting the sound too much. I use either 5 ms or 8 ms. Coupled with Dolby Atmos' Surround Virtualizer feature the sound ARISE provides is perfect.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
They do work, but further from stock form than before. The HTC 10 Dolby presets use /system/etc/dolby/ds1-default.xml, /system/etc/tfa, and a set of audio_effects files. To continue using those with this new Dolby system, I removed the ds1-default.xml and replaced the Dolby entries in the audio_effects set with the new Dolby entries. This still maintains the /tfa data and the audio_effects which contribute much of the preset sound. :good:

Edit*

DSEE-HX is included in all builds except for Xperia.

Bluetooth enhancement is included in all builds except for LG. I recommend LG users to still try the normal version first. A bootloop indicates the Bluetooth enhancement data is already present and the for LG build should be used.
[Android Software Development] *mj13*:
So are you saying if flashed in this sequence the HK part will be overwritten? I had fc in 8, I didn't try this with 8 but just did with 8.1 and no fc... Will reflash now with the order I usually do and see if it's just 8.1 fixing the fc or this odd flash order.. I'm on HTC m8 on cyanide team m8 kernel ;)
[Android Software Development] ctrlaltdeln:
Rudimentary, but did u do this? Couldn't upload either till I did this.

Choose "upload"

Then when this screen pops up swipe it away.

Then do this,

Also make sure in settings that you toggle the appropriate mode of upload (WiFi only, or not)

You da man!

I've been working in Santa Clara/sunnyvale more and more lately (slightly better tips) and yeah i was modding my phone down the road aways at the McDonald's on lawrence! took that back road to reconnect with the Expressway heading south back into Santa Clara when i had to do a double take as i passed the Dolby sign. given that its looking more and more like i might move back to Seattle in the next few months, i had to snap a photo. it's funny because being in Silicon Valley this is not an uncommon occurrence, I've found ASUS, PLX devices (i want to get one of their obd2 scanners), and a ton of other HQs for my favorite companies since living here, its really amazing. where's your office? you should order doordash between now and 6, ill be working sc and maybe you'll get me as your driver
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
So there is also need to have Dolby lines in Tweakprop right? Because they are gone from yours.

Flashed RC8.1 there is a bit more bass without compromising mids/highs but the soundstage was better in RC8.
[Android Software Development] cmo220:
I do. It sounds great for my purposes. But I'm different from most users here. When I'm using my phone to listen to anything it's audiobooks 75% of the time while I'm at work. And also with using cheap behind the head bluetooth headphones. Most sound mods can't do much with either of those but this one actually let's me make cheap bluetooth headphones work great for audiobooks.
[Android Software Development] vibrantliker:
I agree but it worked and didn't with the aroma version.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

I use it too, 5 or 8, usually 5.
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
i only use differential surround, it's the best option for surround in a car setup. 5ms is absolutely ideal, in most versions if arise it doesn't gimp your bass like higher delays do, and coupled with a 2 notch negative fade on my speakers (meaning i adjust them to slightly favor the rear speakers which are large mid frequency heavy woofers), the surround effect is amazing.

that being said, i sometimes find it better to use neutrons surround mode because it's configurable to a ridiculous extent and applies surround using the same delay effect otherwise known as the HAAS effect. love it

Can anyone confirm if any issues from RC8 were resolved by flashing RC8.1?

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Read line #12 in your screenshot. This is not to avoid providing you an answer, rather a hint to help you know what to look for in various future cases. :good:

Precisely. In fact, those Add-On zips are not included in RC8.1. :good:
[Android Software Development] harpin14789:
Even with a bit of reduced soundstage, I will stick to RC8.1 and experiment with it a bit more.

As far as the Nexus 6 goes, I haven't encountered any problem ever since RC5.x crisis!! Glad that got resolved quickly. :good:

One thing I did notice from RC7 to RC8.x is that there is a bit more battery drain on my N6. I don't for sure if it is caused by ARISE, but just felt like reporting it. In my opinion a bit more drain is a small price to pay in the path to getting amazing sound.

So, from RC8.1 there is no need to add any of the dolby lines to tweakprop right?

Why was the "2.1" channel lines left in your tweakprop, wasn't that also related to the HTC dolby lines?

Just another question that never really got a strong answer, if on CM based rom like RR, do you have to flash AudioFX remover MusicFx installer zip or would disabling AudioFx be just fine?

Thanks!! :good:

You really outdid yourself with the release of the RC8.x series! :highfive: looking forward to whats to come in the future!

Please try this and post back if it works.

Dirty Flash rom/gapps/kernal,etc,

flash RC8.1

flash tweakprop.zip (guitardedhero prop adviced)

Flash Deep buffer remover zip.

Wipe Dalvik/caches

(Optional)Move the DTS folder in /extra/miscellaneous to /system/app in TWRP using TWRP File manager under advanced.

Hope this helped.

These are the steps I followed on my nexus and RC7, RC8, and RC8.1 work flawlessly on my Nexus 6.

The deep buffer remover is only do that viper processes system wide. It is in RC7 (but I linked to post), but was taken out in RC8.1.

Flash it if Viper is not processing system wide, like in YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, etc.
