[Android Software Development] duck from space:
wooow, after trying many things to enhance the lenovo P2 wich is not exactly audiophile stuff I'm settling there, awesome thanks UltraM8 for your work.

About being one of those pesky plebeian that won't let go their old love, I managed to make Arhion Dolby works on top of this by:

-distinstalling it with provided .zip

-installing Sauron (disinstall/install as OP says)

-disinstall Audiomod in Magisk

-re-install Dolby. Wich re-installs Audiomod.

Then I got my butt kicked through the ears just like with my old Mate 8.

If somehow a good heart coud confirm that those two indeed works together and I'm not taking placebo here, that would be cool. I don't think so and looked for a definitive answer, but some serious intel on this topic remain confusing or might be related to old version.

Hi, I posted earlier about Ainur not working on the Leedroid M9. I have sinced changed rom to ICE, but the only difference that happens is that the boot freezes on the animation rather than the logo before. I have left my phone to boot for about 30 minutes.

I did make a logcat, but due to XDA rules I can't post a link to it or the whole thing. Any way to circumvent this?

I cant seem to get v4a working with Sauron properly. I like jamesdsp but I tend to get too much crackling in my headphones. I want to try the SU method but my rom (RR nougat vidwhal) comes pre built with magisk. Can someone tell me how to properly remove and install SU?

Are you using Sense rom?
[Android Software Development] cybugz:
I'm using stock rom.. touchwiz.. samsung galaxy note 4
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
that's why. It's for AOSP rom, i had the same issue because i didn't read well the notes about that.

I suggest you to install only Sauron + Arkaym add on. Don't add any mod, it will causes overprocessing abd you will just decrease the sound quality.
[Android Software Development] cybugz:
Thanks for the info.. can i install sauron without magisk? i can't install magisk because i'm using an app that requires sellinux is enforcing.
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
Of course you can:svetius: the sauron installer will detect it automatically.

Flashing this mod(similar to other sound mods) breaks VOLTE on kenzo (nitrogen ROM).

Edit: fixed by simple reboot.
[Android Software Development] BlackDragonz:
I wonder what is the connection between a sound mod and volte, which is rom related...?
[Android Software Development] kashinath:
A reboot fixed this, I have edited my post. But this is very common problem(at least for redmi note 3). See this for example. https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/themes/install-arise-sound-vote-loss-sound-t3568902

[Android Software Development] dr.zook:
After using this great mod for a while and playing around with all the add-ons, v4a, atmos and stuff, I kicked out all of them and use sauron without any eq. V4a is the only thing left, cause I need it for Bluetooth audio.

I just don't need and want any of them while listening through my Earbuds. They decrease sound quality in my opinion. If any, I would use v4a, cause it has less impact on the quality then the other ones.

Thanks [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] for this. Now I know why I spent 90 € for my 1more buds :D

[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
I think he's already banned for being an idiot
[Android Software Development] superd3:
I don't know the circumstances of his ban, I just know this mod was both a lot followed, and updated 2 weeks ago from him in is official web site. so thank you for your answer, hope you update your mod soon :)
[Android Software Development] BlackDragonz:
He was banned because he sold illegal hacked Spotify & 3 more apps accounts in the "Settings" option in his Xtrememusic app.

Sorry for my bad E, I am trying my best to improve it :D
[Android Software Development] holozis_HUN:
Hi guys!

Then if I understand good, I should install Sauron only? Sauron is the mix of the other mods what mentioned here? At the first page.

I want to install the best mod of the mods what mentioned in first post + addons +V4A. This all should works? On MIUI too maybe?

First I will try AOSP based rom, but it good if it works on MIUI too...
[Android Software Development] lordc:
Avoid overprocessing adding v4a and addons (by the way some addons are incompatible with v4a) install sauron, listen It and choose if It is enough or you need a eq (jamesDSP better than v4a) or the Magic of a black box (dirac and others)
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
Install Sauron + Arkaym

Don't let your system overprocessing
[Android Software Development] Stupifier:
Isn't Arkaym broken currently....thought a lot of people were waiting for an update for that to work right.
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
not at all:) it works perfectly, install it over sauron. First time you will open a file audio you can feel not processing correctly, restart your phone and it will be ok ? The sound quality it's unbelievable with Arkaym
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Sauron is the mod, addons are audio effects ports, meaning that if Sauron tries to deeply tune whole audio system, while addons just add coloration to sound output.

Installing all of the addons would lead to overprocessong of the output fastmixer channel, also, current dirac ports might not get other addons render out due to config limitations. Dirac also won't let u render 24bit sources (mostly all of the effects were made to support only 16bit LE formats, except dolby). I wouldn't install so many coloration ports.

I prefer clean audio rendering with tuned Qualomm DSP & DAC)

[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] I'm fascinated by your take on audio mod. I'm removing arise and flashing AINUR. Need an advice:

NOTE: I want to learn and install AINUR with RIGHT addons before you conclude this is just another post about junkyard mods.

I've lenovo k4 note which has wolfonson dac (sounded extremely amazing with stock dolby surround effect on front stereo speakers.

As fate would have it, I came to know about arise before AINUR and I flashed it with almost all modules which were "supposed" to work with my mediatek k4 note.

am3d, v4a are working. arkamys and dirac's service are running but dirac doesn't show any change when called from sony music player arise installs. I'm not sure about icesound configs and presets. My stock dolby atmos is broken.

AS YOU HAVE ALSO SAID IN THAT UGLY TRUTH that am3d and arkamys can work but other libs don't.

I read your views that installing too many addons will overprocess and won't help in pure audio quality. I completely agree with your ideology.

I wanna ask: considering my phone what do you think is the RIGHT addon to supprt your mod. I was also thinking about installing [MENTION=5357345]ahrion[/MENTION]'s colletive dolby atmos, v4a and am3d (as its working very well) alongside AINUR (v4a sometimes help if one specifically wants control of bass, dynamic bass and control of master volume which I like). You think its a good idea?

You said that junk libs may work only with their own player like sony. So if we somehow install that player, will the libs and effects work? (sony player is working from ARISE).

I just want to learn. Help
[Android Software Development] cybugz:
hi guys..

is the Arkamys addon compatible with touchwiz rom? I tried to install it but it keeps on appearing "arkamys has stopped".

Dirac addon works properly on my device.

[Android Software Development] cybugz:

[Android Software Development] holozis_HUN:
Thanks! Well, then the Sauron is the mix of all mentioned mod?

I need V4A for my bluetooth speaker better bass and more clarity... Ah and for phone speaker, more loud and more beautiful sound. I don't really want to use V4A for headphones. Any app for check if sound mod works or not?
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
i think for arkamys you Need it to be permissive
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
No, forget v4a, forget dolby (i had the dolby port from an Axon 7 which is considered ethe best Atmos ever ported) forget everything is coloring software. You just need Sauron and that's all.

As UltraM8 already said yesterday the add-ons like Dirac are limited to 16 bit audio, i suggest you to try Arkamys which give a nice color to your audio but nothing can be compared with Sauron alone.

The problem is that everyone among us always had to install many things, mods over mods, to improve sound quality and we cannot believe we don't need it anymore, we cannot believe we just need one.

Use poweramp to set equalization:good: best regards
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
sauron is not a mix of them. it tweaks different stuff than what all the DSP are doing. Ultra already said, that all the other "apps" are ports and Software stuff. sauron tweaks Hardware related Software stuff
[Android Software Development] BeeNeX:
Thanks for sharing your experience bro. I'm not that a great fan of mods about which I'm not even sure whether is working or not. The reason I want v4a and others is that they exclusively give control in case you specifically want to increase a frequency. Like I said about dynamic bass in v4a and surround effect (only in speakers) they completely change the way you hear the sound. You see, AINUR will give the you the best sound but what if you wanna increase bass, dynamic bass, feel the surround effect.
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
Best surround effect is given by Sauron in my experience, the scene is by far larger than Dolby Atmos. I had installed viper4android before, the version with super quality drivers, it just destroy the wonderful sound quality of Sauron.

The bass and the full equalization can be done directly in Poweramp.

I personally don't like to change equalization too much because sound engineer who records all the music we listen they actually knows better than us how to equalize a piece of music. If you want more bass it's up to you but you will just destroy the equilibrium of the sound spectrum. But i guess you still didn't install Sauron, otherwise you should not miss anything at present :)

Try by yourself, you will see. Bye!
[Android Software Development] BeeNeX:
Would you suggest me to install those addons Ultra has listed here?

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

I tried all of them (one by one of course) I like Arkamys. Try both Sauron with and after without Arkamys and chose by yourself according to yous personal taste

Can you tell me the order of flashing:

I think I need to set selinux permissive. reboot

install busybox...reboot

flash sauron uninstaller (seems like you still have to flash even on clean stock rom) reboot

flash ainur sauron 1 4 2 zip... reboot

flash arkamys (I think link is given in OP) done

Please correct me

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Bro I have just clean flashed my rom and rooted it with supersu. Can you describe the exact flashing order including busybox and arkamys (I think I need to set selinux permissive first).
[Android Software Development] lordc:
Use jamesDSP and no more
[Android Software Development] Ainsley Harriott:
What are the differences between arkamys versions?
[Android Software Development] holozis_HUN:
Not exactly true.

Let me explain my opinion about EQ:

Lets see the music how a picture. And you wear glasses. Picture=sound, glasses=headphones, speaker etc.

You see the picture with glasses. But the glasses are wrong and you see the picture in black and white only (example). (This like you have bad headphone with low bass, too much high, bad quality, low end headphone). For see the original quality of picture, you need to take a filter, for repair the wrong picture given by bad glasses. This filter is EQ.

I hope you undrstand what i write :) Bad english sry.

To the topic: I gonna try Sauron itself first, and try it with Spotify 320 kbps MP3 and with my FLAC files with a music player (i try to install SONY music player, that is my favourite execpt Spotify) and if I not comfortable i try V4A or that other EQ (dont remember its name, something "james"). If still no good try with V4A. For my speaker i have a really good profile in V4A. And i have a **** Sony MH750 headset, low-end, got with ny before phone (Z3)... But soon i buy a Einsear T2 or BW-ES1!!!!

Still unanswered question: Any app for check if mod works or not? I wont try the phone withoit music mod, now i use MIUI, after holidays i install AOSP Extended, and i can't compare the sound with mod and without mod.
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
The correct order is:

-Clean System /dalvik/Cache partition (don't touch data)

-Reflash your rom

-Flash supersu and grant Permissive selinux (by flashable zip is preferable if your rom is full stock)

Reboot (let your phone get cooler before continue to step 2)

Once your phone becomes cool again (less than 40°)

-Flash Sauron

-Flash Arkamys

-Clean Dalvik/Cache both partition

Reboot and enjoy

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

AOSP are the worst things ever created for listen music. Use MIUI, it cannot be worst than an AOSP rom.

In my opinion someone who want go to museum to look wonderful paintings he doesn't go with wrong glasses, he choses the correct glasses before leaving home because he want see well. Right?

We cannot pretend to enjoy music with cheap quality phones and cheap quality headphones and ask Sauron or viper4android or anything else to make miracles (Sauron it actually does it) we need a good hardware base.

I suggest you to always you close to stock roms, to install Sauron and buy a good headset AKG, Sennheiser with not too high impendence (best you can find are the AKG 430 or 450 or Sennheiser Momentum , thei sound wonderful and even smartphone can drive them) and i think you will be satisfied

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

The v3 is the best
[Android Software Development] BeeNeX:
I flashed sauron but I'm sorry to say, I'm not experiencing any miracle sound. I later flashed arkamys and even dsp (which looks like poor clone of viper) but no significant change in audio quality. Sound is too low on front stereo speakers.

Although both sauron and arise broke my stock atmos, arise with am3d sounded mind blowing on speakers. On headphones it was good with and without am3d on.

If I'm doing anything wrong please tell me. I had really high expectations from AINUR.
[Android Software Development] gitzolinick:
Strange, me i was shocked for the changment. The m8 has a stock dolby too that it is fully working, You always have to install Sauron for last, the installer chose what tk do automatically.

Write a message directly to the developer, my i don't have the technical knowledge to solve your problem. Best regards
[Android Software Development] juanantofb:
Hi, @ UltraM8 what do you think of "high_perf_mode" to activate exagon DSP in QC SoC

I think it is only functional from the SD820, in all ROMs of Soc lower than SD820 does not appear, in the only one that appears is in the LG G5.

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
nope, SD820 does not use that and is useless to use it in a zip which is meant to be flashed on a SD820 device
[Android Software Development] juanantofb:
Hi, the script to activate the high_perf_mode, look in the / modules folder for that file and change the value from 0 to 1, in my only SD840 phone if that file appears, in the rest, SD600, SD800, SD801, does not appear, So if it does not appear it can not be modified, and therefore has no effect.

I have not noticed anything when activating that function, with the kernel Speeedy and EX Kernel can activate that function in the LG G5, without using the module for Magisk.

That's why I would like to know the opinion of UltraM8, if this is a scam or it really works and where SoC works.

Regards.
[Android Software Development] holozis_HUN:
Yeah, AOSP **** for music it truth, but I think can't install good and without bug Samuron on MIUI. And i think AOSP + Sauron should be better than MIUI. Or not?

I like MIUI, beautiful rom, but it is a bit laggy to me, and dont really accept mods, always have something bug... For this reasons i want to change AOSP rom, AOSP Extended or Resurrection Remix.

And too good your opinion about EQ and headphones, but not everyone can buy a good glasses as well a good heaphones :) And I prefer use earphones, 3 hours on bus on a day + in school it is more useful :) And in bed too :P I think a 20 euro earphone should be enough for a phone with a normal DAC and with Sauron mod... And for Spotify sound files.
