Oh wow! Thank you for the awesome sentiments! I was actually looking for the brand new Vivo X5 Elite system to port Hi-Fi 3.0 but nothing was available so I used the next best thing which I sourced from Vivo's website. I could tell immediately that it was gold!

What's really exciting is that this system also provides the same files needed to build Aural Maximizer™! It's included in 0.7.1 and I've told Ben, so hopefully he'll put his stamp on it very soon! :good:

Thank you again, it really means a lot to me! :highfive:

On latest exodus 0.7.1 and holy ****. Ive not even tested through headphones or my sound system as its late and my baby is asleep but even through my m8 speakers it sounds quality. Looking forward to tomorrow as mrs is at work and its just me and my 9 month old at home so we are gonna blaze some metal and test this crazy audio mod. Guitardedhero your a ****ing hero ! Amazing work again.. Gonna smash some killswitch engage tomorrow ?

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] what exactly are the steps for dirty and clean flashing for your mods, could you please elaborate? Thanks
[Android Software Development] MrBrady:
I've got to say, I told myself not to be an ARISE crack flasher and just stick with 1.2 for a while. Well, I gave in and flashed the Exodus 0.71 and it's the best yet! Nice work!
[Android Software Development] deebray36:
Lol i said the same exact thing about staying on 1.2...but i agree exodus 0.7.1 is gravy [emoji3]

[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Yeah, it's confusing when I'm talking about two different zips, rom and mod.

I never really use the term clean flash when describing prerequisites. I will usually say "dirty flash rom first" or "dirty flash is fine".

Dirty flash rom first = Flash your current rom zip to restore /system. If /system mods remain then a System wipe in TWRP needs to be done before flashing your rom zip again.

Dirty flash is fine = No wipes are necessary to update to the next sound system version so simply flash the new sound system zip.

Can you provide a link to your rom?
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
That can always be a possibility. It is not an official component of the sound system and I am not equipped to assist with its usage or presence as it simply does not work for me at all. That may be because of Android N, but at any rate, I am not particularly fond of the available unofficial components being offered, especially since I was never consulted and found out after you guys found out since I don't use the Aroma installation. I usually build the updates on my device and will flash the normal zip once in a while just to ensure it is working as intended.

I have a very clear vision for this project and these offerings are blurring that vision a bit. Firstly, I am adamant about using current and and self/team sourced content only and using nothing that is found in other sound mods, especially content that is dated by several years. This my be a stubborn position but it is what separates us from everything else and has been very successful so far. That doesn't mean anything offered outside of my zip is automatically disqualified for inclusion into the sound system. Configuration files are an example of what's acceptable but not much else other than similar configuration files.

I realize I rambled forever in response to your very simple question, it's someone been wanting to address for a little while now, and it certainly needed to be stated before the completed Exodus build. :good:

After so many years of tweaking Audiophile, it became apparent that the least amount of active settings produced the highest sound quality. My Audiophile profile is essentially a Convolver, ViPER Bass, and ViPER Clarity. Nothing else. The way I create a profile is to leave everything Off or Disabled except for Convolver. Once the best convolver is found which provides the general tone and equalization curve I am looking for, I then use only ViPER Bass and ViPER Clarity to fine tune it. :good:

[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
your actually quite perceptive to point this out. thing about getting balls deep into sound engineering is that you'll often find you embarked on a grand journey where each successive addition made sounds multiplicative and amazing (building EQs in neutron is a perfect example) and you ride that momentum like lightning only to end up blasting right into that kid who played powder from the movie because you took things a little too far. as you mentioned, it's often difficult to even realize you crossed a threshold somewhere until you get to another song. suddenly the bass lead is located here instead of there, with this much decay and an onset dominance at 4k rather than 5k etc etc and you realize wow ive been trying to tune this eq perfect for an hour and a half and turns out it's trash. moment of satisfaction with the result nullified. back to the drawing board.

that's why in a lot of my eqs you'll see I've tried to stay within modest boosts and cuts rather than the crazy multi dB arbitrary variances you see in a lot of graphic eqs. hell i think in one of the eqs i posted for you guys my normal bass shelf (which i use to bring the low end up front and give it more presence accross the board) is at like +.25dB. i mean is a shelf with a decent q factor so that small boost its quite audible but still, most people approach EQs thinking they're gonna be boosting and cutting freqs by 3-6 dB per band. in actual practice that's just asking for trouble. it's very hard to get good at truly general equalization because in general every song carries its own characteristics and timbre (if you're keen on diving into a massive semantic rabbit hole of debate regarding what makes music special, look up the term timbre lol glhf).

looking back im not sure what motivated me to just give a lecture on the futility of what i do and spent years getting good at. :cool:

I understood most what you wrote, lol, I too love this stuff, but have limited knowledge of this material,I go by my ears, which twenty years of concrete construction aren't the best.

My musical tastes are varied, on way home from dinner with wife(we met there so I can blast whatever I want) went from black Sabbath faries wears boots(great bass beat) to little river band "lady"(don't judge me! Lol) to a surprise of Katy Perry roar, which one of my daughters must have likes on my Google play account.

All three sound full with almost default settings, roar got little bass heavy at loud volumes, lady was perfect! Think I'm 95% there with my setup.

Tried a few irs files, Dolby 2's with and without lfe, can't pinpoint it but the sound is lack of better word, fake.

Being an non expert with viper, have had it for a few years I've found the less is better for me, only like to use viper bass and clarity, and convolver as last resort.

I know I'm rambling, but what setting would lower the bass inside viper, like to see like one notch in viper bass to the negative side? Is that possible?

[Android Software Development] BodhiBrock:
I clean flashed the ROM, wiped D/C...rebooted, flashed permissive kernel...rebooted, flashed ARISE 9.2 w/ tweakprop, wiped D/C...rebooted, and everything worked perfectly...with DAC and without. Dolby worked with no FC, but when I rebooted the phone a small time later Dolby FC'd. Why is that? Why does the Bass God spite me?

[Android Software Development] mohand06:
Not at all. Just put it in your sdcard and rename it to tweak.prop. Extract tweakprop.zip found in tweakprop folder inside aroma zip, then reboot in recovery and flash only tweakprop.zip

Sorry, forgot to add that there must be only one tweak.prop file on your sdcard
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to seem dismissive. I've just been so focused on wrapping this sound system up the last 24 hours. We got some stuff in the works, most of which I am unsure if I am at liberty mention. This is far outside my area of expertise.

nericollin has been working on the official ARISE website which looks absolutely incredible and I can't wait to see what he has to show us next! :good:

[Android Software Development] ajm786:
THIS. THIS so much. I can't begin to tell you that's almost EXACTLY how I engineer and master my music. Which is why I'm almost 100% against using EQs of any kind because they end up coloring the true nature of my music.

Quite literally the only reason I use any EQ, be it Neutron or V4A, is simply to fix perceived shortcomings of the actual device I'm using. My Galaxy Note 3 and 4 were a bit low on bass but shrill on high end, so I had to use slight EQ variations to balance them out. No large EQ swings.

BTW, anyone interested in my music to see how it sounds on your V4A? Have at it! :D

Thanks for your Time and Effort Guitardedhero

Thats exactly what i did every build i dissected and changed a few things to my liking and also changed a little in the tweak.prop as well.

Ive actually enjoyed testing most of the builds it actually started becoming a hobby and i am sure my device has taken a beating from flashing so much but it isnt a big deal. Wiped data reboot back into recovery wiped dalvik cache, system,internal storage,data,cache 3 times and then restored my back up i made along time ago so no biggie.

@Guitarededhero

I appreciate your time and effort you put into this project and i hope to see more projects from you in the future if its pheasable.:good:
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
yeah i use neutron mainly to shape music for my speakers.since it's car audio and i use surround effects, I'd otherwise nerf the buzzing stabbing basslines that define drum n bass. when your melodies are written in the 200-700Hz range, you have to compensate accordingly or the catchiest hooks will be lost!

Oh man.... relief, excitement.. congrats first and foremost to you, GH, and also everyone who has been involved in this awesome ride... I appreciate you letting me be part of the journey to get here and look forward to A) flashing this :p and B) where things go from here.. :good: This project is truly something special and I am thankful to get to be part of something like this. I still cannot believe you did all of this on a mobile device. Nexus 6 is awesome but the fact that we have gone this far without you having a computer to use is incredible. I cannot help but wonder what might happen if you were to upgrade from mobile to a real machine, but I have seen that other users have alreay taken into consideration how deserving you are of such support and also how truly impactful it could be to the project. For that reason I find this a very appropriate time to reshare the gofundme link to get guitardedhereo a pc!

[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
had no idea you were not part of the aroma component decision process. your position is absolutely understandable and imo the right one; hell even if it means i have to get alsa on my own every time (since it's been removed) i think especially considering the tribalism on xda lately, it's incredibly important (paramount even) to be judicious in component control and as a team we are ultimately responsible for what gets put out. the implications of that are clear. from day one you always went on about your priorities being finding the most inobtrusive way to implement these improvements, with as little effect on a given handsets stock system files as possible and that always resonated with me. this is of the same principal. at the end of the day, at least as far as official stable releases go, we should prioritize knowing and understanding every single file included and how it is intended to work on the system as a whole. there's no other way to ensure the systems integrity apart from just being the smartest way to build releases from a troubleshooting standpoint

[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
SUUUPER HAPPY to hear your Mazdas system is coming along with the mod. trust me when i say these speakers have a ton of potential with quality source

3dit* try a different DDC filter. or using one at all. off the top of my head, AKG 309 is great but you may have to attenuate or otherwise adjust your highs depending on your current settings. however, its got much milder bass characteristics. might suit you. also the sennheiser options have a ton of spread in terms of cleaning up the various ranges, just run through them while playing that dank Katy perry (whose babies i would gladly have) track and see if they fit. avoid the senny PX ones though those are for cannons.

i don't understand. with a custom recovery a true brick is nearly impossible. you can't factory reset and flash a new rom?
[Android Software Development] :
I mean soft bricked. I can flash a new rom but rooting is now a mess and layers theme are out of their true colors(really a mess!), i already uninstalled the layers theme but i cant go back to its original state, i clean flash everytning, even wiping the storage but I can't run pure nexus anymore in its original state as before just because of the suggestions above.

Yes

The zip flash is working fine. Its only when use Aroma I don't get sound output.
[Android Software Development] joetheshmo:
Have you tried reflashing the vendor or deleting the /vendor/overlay folder? I believe that's where layers saves everything but it's been a while since I was on a layers rom
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
make sure there aren't any restore scripts sitting in your addon or init.d or su. wipe data, cache, system. flash rom. flash gapps. flash root. do not wipe cache again before rebooting. i don't see what could not work in this sequence
[Android Software Development] :
Yes i tried reflashing the vendor and as what i said i am on a very clean state even wiping storage so everything is gone, but still i cant go back to where i was before.

[MENTION=6496019]electricph[/MENTION]

That makes no sense you just moved files around and now them files are gone once you wiped a clean flash shouldnt be affected by things done before wiping. Maybe your rom files r corrupt from moving between your pc and phone. That's the only reason I can see your having an issue. A clean flash is a clean flash especially if you wiped everything including storage there is no way that them files you changed are still there.

So you may want to troubleshoot in your respective Rom thread friend.
[Android Software Development] :
I posted what happen in my case in this thread because the cause of the soft bricked and mess in rooting and layers was caused by the suggestion posted in this thread. So i think i must start first with the cause of the problem. And maybe the solution is also here in this thread. I'm sorry if it's becoming out of topic. I spent two whole days flashing ever now and then to go back in my original state and already looking for a solution but to no avail i cant go back. I am now on stock developer preview 4, locked bootloader, unrooted and cannot do anything because i am not rooted just to be safe.
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
i agree with john b (beta recordings 4 life), or at the very least maybe try re-downloading your rom cause if you are doing as you say and won't "storage", which to me means internal storage, which was completely unnecessary to do but i guess it would leave you with a brand new phone. you really only needed to wipe data to reset any data files for your system apps including layers crap I think (only ever used a layers rom once for like 2 days and blew like 12 dollars on the Play Store buying themes lol i am NOT A SMART MAN). really sounds like you might just have corrupt files that aren't fishing properly. on my last phone (samsung galaxy Avant) i literally corrupted my recovery partition somehow and was able to come back from that, so i guarantee you there are options

Dolby Atmos force closes on my rr remix motorola DROID turbo, all other settings are working in aroma exodus 1 the v4a and the amd3 thing

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

It's the newer Dolby Atmos
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
Did you place those libraries in /system instead of /system/lib?

Ensure Storage Permissions are enabled for both Dolby apps in Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

While there, disable MusicFX and reboot. :good:
[Android Software Development] :
As suggested: I placed them in /system and the phone just stop.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
As I suspected by the post you quoted as following. You will need to use fastboot or Nexus Root Toolkit to flash your current or newer factory image. :good:
[Android Software Development] gangrenius:
I enabled permissions storage for Dolby I have no muskfx I rebooted ir still force closes I wonder if it's because of enforcing kernel or maybe I need to flash older more compatible Dolby Atmos
[Android Software Development] :
So the suggestion is really wrong that i placed it /system. I already tried and used nrt to flash the new factory image, root flash pure nexus rom, gapps, vendor img, root again but other apps is not the granting root anymore as previously and installation of layers theme is not of the same colors as before( can't even read the words, white on white) which has become a mess. Are there still files hidden which I had not deleted even I installed a factory image which completely wiped everything,v which really puzzles me. I really can't go back to where it was working as before.

Just a note, on a very clean flash (also storage) new dolby and am3d is working. No force closed!
