Thanks for the assist - The last arise I loaded was exodus 8.2

I primarily use spotify premium with everything set to high quality streaming.

unfortunately, dolby atmos force closes when launched. Many others were suffering the same at the time.

I've tried all 14 profiles on my phone. Right now i am using one I made based on guitardedhero's recommendations.

I am also using guitardedhero's tweak.prop. The LDAC section is:

# LDAC audio support

ro.somc.ldac.audio.supported=true

# Force LDAC to run in Bluetooth

persist.service.ldac.enable=1

com.sonymobile.ldac_enabled=true

as for the portable solution, ephexxis gave me some info on

http://us.creative.com/p/speakers/sound-blaster-roar

these are on sale at half price (99.00) and you can pair two of them with a stereo cable for double the output. I was considering placing two oh them in my back window area just behind my rear speakers.

Oh and I can't believe a 2016 model auto has no aux and they are still screwing up and putting everything in the head unit. Will they never learn?

---------- Post added at 04:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

I'll test that out. I almost always have my phone plugged in since I am usually running waze, spotify, and usually another app (depends on circumstance what else I am running)

I'll check it out later today.

Hi,

B being new to this I admit I had no time/courage to read the whole 1043 forum pages, so please excuse me if this is a common problem that's already been discussed...

I am currently running a LeEco Le Max 2. It's rooted and it uses CM13 with XPosed v.86 as a daily driver. Problem is sound over phone speaker is quite bad.

So I installed ARISE and it gives good results on both the speaker and via Bluetooth.

But I have no sound at all when I want to make a phone call, which is an not really cool side effect on a phone?

Anyone else having this and is there a workaround ?

Thanks for your a answers...

Regards

Flash a custom kernel that is permissive.

[Android Software Development] arnabnx:
Thank you man :)

I just created a custom ddc for my pansonic rp-tcm125 .from electri-q e-q data file,ignoring the notations like highshelf,lowself etc. it really hugely(1000000X times :p ) improved the sound quality. but still im curious for the "Type" parameter.I think the ddc maker toolbox automatically realizes which are high shelf or blah blah blah.And its not mandatory to have this parameter in every parametric eq or in this case custom ddc maker.these are just notations for the frequency labels.

^^^I maybe completely wrong,this is just my thaught.dont know the actual truth.

Will be looking forward for reply. :)

NB:-If anyone uses panasonic RP-TCM125 i can share my custom made ddc profile for viper4android.It sound's great btw when coupled with other suitable irs of your choice :p ;)

Not sure what is going on. I flashed the same kernel I always flash Franco kernel and I was always permissive. But now it is enforcing. The difference is I am not rooted as AP no longer works when rooted, even systemless

Hi

After flashing latest Leviticus on n6p running dirty unicorns with elementalx I lost the screen recording ability. Can anyone confirm this behavior? I'll pull some logs on request, but it'll take a while as I had to uninstall. Happened even with v4a & Dolby disabled.
[Android Software Development] tcat007:
Works fine with 6p/DU/Elite (and without Elite).
[Android Software Development] sm4tik:
Kk, will have to investigate further what was going on..
[Android Software Development] kyzn:
I dunno but AFAIK Franco Kernel has always been Enforcing. Franco likes it that way.
[Android Software Development] matt1313:
I'm using 1.3 and all seems good. Thank you. Question in have is if I'm using Dolby atmos do I need to also use the IRS file in v4a or turn convolver off?
[Android Software Development] tcat007:
You can get a good sound with no irs. Try different viper-DDC, I'm using ath-sj55 (even though I have different headphones), it sounds best to me.
[Android Software Development] Curiousn00b:
Quick question... I've done some research around the thread and I remember using Exodus and there was an Aroma version for it where I was able to select that I only wanted V4A with the sound system mods. There's another Aroma zip for the latest Leviticus 1.3, but I guess those were different Aroma zips.

Bottom line is, do you guys use Dolby? I planned to just flash the zip and disable Dolby through the settings.
[Android Software Development] luigidk:
Where did you find the aroma zip for 1.3?
[Android Software Development] Alarand:
Somewhat bizarre but I noticed whenever atmos goes into landscape mode it turns itself off.

Also everything is a significant bit louder with atmos on, with the apparent drawback of adding a layer of background static. Not sure if I somehow broke the installation but I didn't use a tweakprop. On the HTC 10 here so no sure if the warning about boomsound in the first post applies or not.
[Android Software Development] tcat007:

[Android Software Development] luigidk:
I'm thinking that since I've always been flashing some ARISE mod - that ARISE is changing to permissive mode during the flash?

And now - that I'm running unrooted - the permissive script is failing and I can't go into permissive mode?

IF that is the case - then am I stuck w/o Dolby Atmos - or is there a previous version that will run w/o permissive mode?

(can Exodus work in enforcing mode?)
[Android Software Development] kyzn:
ARISE doesn't change your SELINUX. All the kernels I use are Enforcing, being rooted makes it not so. That is correct, without Permissive you can't run Dolby.

You can always flash [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Permissive Zip. I dunno if that would work with Franco kernel.
[Android Software Development] themoto:
For me too it isn't working,i'm on Note7 port InfinityRom

for Note5.There isn't an custom kernel yet and the permissive

Script isn't working so i use last Exodus build with this Dolby Atmos.Sound is gteat.
[Android Software Development] Shadowghoster:
Just remember that the permissive script only works when you have super su installed because it relies on su.d!
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
preface, I've never used the vdc toolbox personally.

i don't know what electriq is either but viper doesn't utilize a parametric eq, it's eq is an FIRequalizer which is linear or sometimes referred to as "graphic", meaning it has sliders to boost or cut a few predefined bands that are basically unadjustable. while i would say that yes, the type parameter which is describing what kind of filter curve to apply to the given bandwidth is important, viper only applies peakfilters to each band, it has no shelving, notching, or pass filters.

that being said you could always use neutrons eq to apply the shelf or pass described in your data afterwards and see how you like it
[Android Software Development] desztan:
Hi, may I know that this permissive zip can be used from android 4.4 to 6.0?

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

I understand that Dolby Atmos is not available for android 4.4. Can it be uninstalled if its not working.
[Android Software Development] BodhiBrock:
I just want to clarify something I read here. If I want to flash Exodus Ahrion SE and the Let. 1.3 on top of that...do I wipe dalvik & cache for each flash? And which zip should I get my tweak prop from? Exodus SE or Let. 1.3? Same question with the V4A profiles? I imagine the profiles don't matter as much as the tweak prop location. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] mohand06:
Better yet than uninstalling the Dolby app. Remove from the Lev 1.3 zip (in /leviticus/priv-app) the 2 Dolby apps: Ax.apk and AxUI.apk and flash the lev zip
[Android Software Development] JaylanPHNX:
That's hard to say, since they're not really meant to be flashed on top of each other like that. You may have to try a tweak.prop from each and compare the results to see which sounds better.

From my Tab Pro 8.4
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
with a boost of digital gain above 0dB you'll have louder output max at the cost of also raising the noisefloor of the original recording which is the background static you're hearing. not sure precisely what effect in atmos is affecting your digital gain but it's very possible. this can be managed outside of atmos though.

easiest way would be to use neutronmp as it has discreet digital and analog gain controls, (digital is called preamp in neutron) which you can just reduce to drop the noisefloor back down. its also worth adding a flat lowpass at 24000kHz which can be done using the eq settings themselves or my long pressing the "ultrasonic filter" in the audio hardware menu and setting the reference frequency there. you can also use v4as master limiter to drop your digital gain (not threshold level) down a few dB.

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

DO. NOT. WIPE. CACHES. AFTER. FLASHING. ANYTHING. there is no reason to and you can break certain packages from installing correctly. if you are going to wipe caches do them when you wipe system, there is no reason to ever do it otherwise
[Android Software Development] Alarand:
Didn't even realize it was on :silly:. I'll try adding android:screenOrientation="portrait" to the atmos apk, not sure if there's an easier way to prevent landscape in a specific app. Well it's already there so I'm not sure why it's still letting me go landscape. Oh well

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Interesting. Is the master limiter setting in V4a or neutron? I think the specific static I was experiencing was due to the volume leveler setting but I have yet to test it out.
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
like i said, setting up something like this in a car would be a really interesting project that i know nothing about. however, I've seen a pair of these used at an outdoor bonfire/party type get together and i can say they are ****ing powerful. they each have 2 amps, one for bass (driven to omnidirectional side mounted bass speakers and an ACTIVE 2.5'' subwoofer) and one for the highs (to the tweeters). two of these paired for stereo is pretty ****ing crazy and if properly mounted somehow might even be overkill for a car. you'll have to really plan around the acoustics of the vehical and the directionality of the drivers on the roar itself.
[Android Software Development] luigidk:
Great tip - thanks!

Here's where I ended up due to my move to being non-rooted and running Leviticus or Exodus:

I am currently non-rooted due to Google stopping AP if rooted (even if systemless root :( )

So trying to get Leviticus 1.3 installed - Dolby won't work as it requires permissive mode. I was able to determine from some more Q&A in the PN for 6P threads that I was seeing permissive mode not because the default kernel in PN or the franco kernel I was flashing were permissive - they are enabling. I was seeing permissive as the installer for the ARISE flash was running a script to change to permissive.

However - since I'm not rooted, that script fails - which is why I WAS running just fine with Dolby, but after re-flashing my ROM and Kernels, I'm staying on Enabling now.

So - I went back to Exodus install - and used Ratchet Pandas Aroma installer - tried installing Dolby Atmos, new and old and DD and A3MD and all the combos.. I actually got the OLD Dolby Atmos to run but for some reason the V4A driver would not install then.

So I finally flashed Leviticus 1.3 after deleting the Dolby apps as recommended in this thread. So that worked and I"m running but without Dolby (which I like) - but at least I'm running V4a with the enhancements that Leviticus offers.

I'm talking about viper's ddc toolbox...i'm not talking about the firequalizer
[Android Software Development] ephexxis:
right, and again ill iterate that I've never used the ddc toolbox. what I'm familiar with is viper, and various types of EQs both software and hardware. i took from your post that the data you want to use is taken from some other component and denotes a filter type, consistent with a parametric eq. what I'm telling you is that there's no "type" of filter available in the info entry for vipers usage likely because vipers eq is not parametric and does not use configurable filters. will ommiting the filter type matter? well, if it's a shelf, notch, pass or any of the more complex filters not used to control a specific band in a small range, as the peak filters used in v4as eq are, then yes it will matter. but as i explained you can try to compensate for that part of the irs not being captured by applying those filters in neutron

Awkward Problem

I'm having an awkward problem with v4a of ARISE package. Some IRS works ,,,some does'nt. the thing is like if a,b is working irs and c,d are not working....then if i select c or d irs it will give output same as a or b irs(depending on which irs i loaded last).But a,b,c,d all works in official v4a app.. for fix i've tried installing v4a as /data app,fixing storage permissions.but nothing works. any remedy for this probem guys? eagerly waiting for replies :)

good evening, can someone help me with the mod(stereo sound) for Nexus 5 : this archive contains files which conflict with Leviticus (Dolby and viper don't open ).

[Android Software Development] mohand06:
Well maybe I drew conclusions a bit too early and you're finally right. It seems that flashing the cwm-sdcard.Fix.Permissions.zip did some magic because I noticed a dramatic improvement of the system sound quality, I mean I'm more happy with the sound as it is now without than with V4A and Dolby (on earphones of course). At any rate, I'm more comfortable now without V4A processing, don't even need using convolver to boost the sound. Thanks again for your help.
