Hey folks, some news.

Some people pm'd if the development is dead - it's not. Current MKII might get a minor update in a while with some fixes for insteller & probably for op's that had weird mic & speaker problms. As for the major "next big things" - yeah those are delayed untill you guys get more dumps from exynos, kirin & mtk platforms, and till we (or I) will figure out the problem with the device I can test parts on. I also said that I'm gonna write if there is any other option apartf from paypal left - unfortunately not, none of fundraising platforms work with russian banking anymore, so idk, only direct bank sending is left as an option. So for the past week we raised 200$ for the new device - I want your names being put in the installers for next major mods, as my personal gratitude (if you don't like your real name from the paypal donation being displayed - contact me with your forum nickname pls). As far as i can't do any serious work with mods, I'm gonna focus more on Ainur brand management. Stay tuned.

I'm on a 3T with Sauron and JamesDSP and just checked out Music Racer last night. Only thing different is my AML was installed via Magisk like everything else, and I'm on Vertex ROM.
[Android Software Development] padaw@n:
Did what you suggested and the result was the same: everything works with music and youtube (including different effects in viper like eq, bass booster etc.) but gets glitched in games. Decided to do a clean flash of a different ROM and install jdsp instead of viper, but it lead to the same thing. I installed sauron, jdsp and aml all together in one go, as you said, from twrp, so it should be okay i guess. Now I think that the problem is that I am on Oreo, because I did the same setup as uudruid74 told me he is using, with the only difference being that he is on Nougat rom, if I am not mistaken.

Vertex is nougat, right? That brings me to conclusion that the problem is that I am on Oreo, because I just did a clean install and also installed jdsp instead of viper, just to be sure that I got as close to your setup as possible.

Note that in Magisk 16.4 post-fs-data stage has been removed. I'm not updating yet since some mods (including this one) need to be redone. (Tasker needs an update as well, for other reasons)
[Android Software Development] handers1234:
So does new magisk 16.4 break sauron?
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
You guys scared me lol. AML is reliant on post-fs-data. Everything is fine. Post-fs has been removed, post-fs-data is still intact, all is well
[Android Software Development] LazerL0rd:
Half the libs don't work. The terminal command checks only a few out of the whole thing. Just look at adb logcat. It's a literal fact you CANNOT just copy libs and add them to audio effect config to get them working. Most of them require special hardware for it, framework changes, kernel patches, and other applications (which modification of breaks the signature and then it isn't called). Even more of them require DRM checks and lib management for it. So how on earth do you expect it to just "work"?

I used to contribute to ARISE, and many other audio mods and I remember stuff I "ported" that never worked - it's all pseudo (wrong word - what I meant was when you expect something to work and believe it does but it actually doesn't). Literally, my only successful porting work prior to joining Ainur Sauron was old DTS. And it took nearly 10 months to port before even fixing the PIE-issues which then ruined the signature and I realised it only works on Lollipop and older. The files we are working with are SO (libs) not some IRSes which change audio easily. Working with someone who wants to change his IRS into a library I can tell you things are much more complicated than copy paste and add effect. If it was that simple companies would be making it much harder than easier. Take a look at this commit for Qeexo Fingersence, for example. To the normal user who doesn't have years to look through a kernel source you would try port the libs from the ROM and the config files - but of course, they won't work. And even copying some kernel code doesn't work either - it also needs a firmware file for the screen.

Uploaded dumps from Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29C432
[Android Software Development] hunhool:
Hi everyone,

Been reading through this topic,but still nit quite sure, so I have to ask :

Is there any chance that this mode will ever work on Huawei P20 pro? (stock rom, opened bootloader, rooted, twrp)

Thanks for any useful answers

Respect.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Great! thank you very much man!
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Yes it will. OP clearly says which cpu's/root solutions/sdk versions it works on
[Android Software Development] sasikumar:
Hello, I need 22.03 and 24.03 versions. I feel in one of these versions the in call volume was superb. But, unfortunately I upgraded and lost my local copy as well.

Anyone can help?
[Android Software Development] SupaKid:
Hey, guys!

Is anyone using Dolby and ViperAudio together?

If so, what's the proper order to set them up?
[Android Software Development] gehess:
I don't mean to be facetious, but it's honestly which ever order works for your device.

For me I've installed V4A then Dolby then Sauron in the past, but I don't know if it really matters. It's all individual trial and error though when you're playing with mods.
[Android Software Development] Borys123:
Can I make the dump if I already have Sauron and V4A installed or do I need to be completely stock? Also, do you even need HTC U Ultra dump?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Yeah full stock only, without any mods
[Android Software Development] Borys123:
Ok, so I will get to it as soon as I install Oreo, then I'll be stock for a while :)
[Android Software Development] hunhool:
Do you need a dump from Huawei P20 Pro?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Yeah, would be nice to have
[Android Software Development] hunhool:
I'll send you as soon as I gathered all.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
OK, I'm on Latest OOS. No shudders or distortions in the audio of Music Racer. Then again, stock kernel sucks so I use blue spark's kernel (fastlane on)
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Sauron & addons updated, with new unity update and various fixes)

Magisk users - u can now install mod files directly to system by adding sysover to the zip name.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
If audio quality is important, get rid of DivineBeats. You asked in the Arise thread if DivineBeats and Arise would be redundant. Yes, they would.

Good audio quality isn't obtained by adding more processing. Stacking more and more mods on top of each other doesn't make it better.

Determine what is lacking in your audio, then figure out how to fix it. Get rid of anything else. This mod is a very subtle mod that generally improves things. Search this thread for why 90% of what's in DivineBeats is likely just taking up space on your phone.

Viper and JamesDSP are both good additions with this mod. They can use the same convolvers. I think JamesDSP has better compatibility and is open source, while Viper has the clarity enhancer and some other features that JamesDSP lacks (for now). I mainly just use JoeMeeks compressor (convolved) and JamesDSP does convolvers a bit better, so I use that.
[Android Software Development] rippledrums:
I have a similar issue on my OP3T.

Some games get stuttering/crackling sound with V4A installed, but if I remove it and just leave Sauron or no mods at all, the sound doesn't glitch anymore. This happens to me on every Oreo ROM available except Nitrogen OS and I can't understand why but I'm kinda stuck with this ROM because of that.

I have no idea how to read logs or troubleshoot the issue and I'd like some help to be honest but haven't yet found anyone willing or able to.

The games I've noticed this in are Gibbets Bow Master, HAWK Freedom Squadron and Built for Speed.
[Android Software Development] iceman0826:
Oreo is a different beast compared to Nougat when it comes to mods. That's why I stick into using Sauron for Oreo and Arise for Nougat. ?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Idk about this as u'll have to try and decide. But there is always a reason not to use non-working bloat s***t
[Android Software Development] Jerry SQ:
it's just me or the extra options file in the mod directory disapeared after install the lastest version??? there is no audiophere lib file, no permission, no ATPX lib file, no Fmas or shoebox either. I removed the mod, removed the sauron user file, installed all again, twice. I even check the Magisk log and everything seem to up and running just fine. So what's the problem????? Thank you in advanced
[Android Software Development] padaw@n:
So I followed suit again and flashed latest openbeta with custom kernel, and surprisingly everything works like it's supposed to, with no distortions or anything like that. It's really strange that I faced this issue on 5 different roms with different bases and different kernels. One thing I noticed before going to OOS last evening is that whenever I opened the problematic game while music was playing in the background, audio wasn't glitched. I could even open music player and stop playing music, then go back to the game and it continued playing audio with no issues. It's like something didn't notice that the game needs it audio processed until I forced it to start processing with music in the background. Either way, thanks for your support, now I have at least one working setup. I'm going to try out a couple more custom roms for statistics now.
[Android Software Development] shadavis08:
What exactly is jamesdsp? I've seen the reference a few times but no explanation of what it is or what it does. Appreciate it thanks.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
UO file was remade
[Android Software Development] Jerry SQ:
yes, i have seen that. You mean the user options file was remade or the old libs were remade into one file
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
We're looking into this problem, i didn't knew it doesen't pick up props, today-tomorrow it might be fixed.

Hi there, I'm running into a problem after installing AINUR SAURON with placing or receiving calls.

Basically I can't hear anything, but also the other person can't hear me at all, like everything would be muted.

Replacing the mixer_paths.xml makes it work again.

I'm running a ZTE Axon 7 (2017G) with raystef66's B10 SL!M ROM.

Can anyone help me?
[Android Software Development] Jerry SQ:
With all due respect, sir. Your effort is much appreciate.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
UO detection fixed version is pushed to all forums & magisk.

Now, i have questions if people on op3's & 5's still have headphone/mic issues? If so - try deleting system.prop file from magisk/ainur_sauron folder & report if it worked or not. Same try goes to peole with vulkan issues - if that works for you too, i might have an idea why that happens.

Btw, we hit 300$ in contribution campaign, thank all of you guys)
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
Search XDA. It's a DSP app similar to Viper and can use the same IRS files in its convolver. However, its open source and a bit less "intrusive", so it tends to work on systems where Viper doesn't. And I trust open source!
[Android Software Development] shadavis08:
Thanks I found it earlier today. Don't need it the Ainur Sauron mod along with setting 16 bit to true works great.
[Android Software Development] uudruid74:
I don't need James DSP either, but then again with Joe Meeks compressor sounds absolutely wonderful! I got to have a convolver of some sort in order to run it.
[Android Software Development] FReaX908:
Hi, thank you for this mod:good::cool:

As mentioned in the telegram chat there seems to be a problem. I'm running a nexus 6 with latest NitrogenOS.

When the mod is installed, the buillt-in gallery crashes when starting a video. uninstalling the mod and everything is fine.

Log is attached.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Is slim aosp based? That's the prob, we design mod for stock manufacturers roms. Also did you set anything in UO?
[Android Software Development] paradix^:
This ROM is stock based without any major changes so this should work. From the UO I only used APTX.

Are there any log files I could provide to help analyse this issue?
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
I need stock mixer files, patched by sauron & mixer dump from stock & patched again
[Android Software Development] Geddd:
Hi, this is my first time to try this mod. Please bear with me if this question has been asked many times. But how will I know if this really works after flashing it from twrp? Since there's no app to control any enhancement/preset I want. Thank you.
[Android Software Development] greyhd:
You will hear the difference when you play music.
[Android Software Development] aqua_hopps:
Hello, I have a few questions:

Which string disables the compander?

comp=true or comp=false?

Any recommended settings for HTC 10?

*EDIT* comp=true causes subtle yet noticeable background white noise. I think I'll just stick to comp=false.

Open sauron patched mixer after flashing & delete this lines from mixers: Smart PA Init Switch. Not sure if it's it, or the roll_off filters. [MENTION=6977124]Skrem339[/MENTION] might bring the insight
[Android Software Development] paradix^:
Removed both of the "Smart PA Init Switch" lines, but this doesn't seem to do the trick. Still no sound when calling. Not even the beep/ring when waiting for someone to take the call.

Ok, I've tried to gathering all the necessary files from my p20 pro,but it looks like there some issues.Some folders,files cannot be copied(even my phone has rooted).

Audio folder cannot be found ,tried in /system/etc and /vendor/etc -> no luck

Mixer dumps: Tried to create 32/64bit tinymix files,set it to 755 but after reboot they were disappeared.

Amplifiers configs: the files cannot be copied . Root explorer denied to copy them.
[Android Software Development] Geddd:
Am I doing the right thing? Flash the zip from op thru twrp, then it shows up as module in Magisk manager
[Android Software Development] DaveedDB:
Yep
[Android Software Development] greyhd:
Yes, you should see it in Magisk manager as a module. All updates will show up there too.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Damn, mixer dumps is the most important thing
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
If they're disappearing after reboot move them before rebooting
[Android Software Development] hunhool:
got the same result in terminal app: tinymix not found

Hello,

Just updated to Latest version via Magisk modules update, I'm using Essential PH-1, 8.1, rooted, with Ex-kernel.

And now I get reboot boot loop (Once it boots up to Android, seems like the phone is frozen: can't do anything, touchscreen doesn't work etc.). I do not installed any other audio mods, ainur is the only one(lol the reference).

Was working fine with earlier versions.

Just did a reflash, installed ainur again and...Bootloop again.
[Android Software Development] Tardeaux:
Likewise seeing the same thing. PH-1, latest 8.1 stock system and kernel. If I get time later I'll try to capture some logs.

For now, rolling back to previous version is working fine.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:

[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] sauron doesn't recognize useroptions because data is encrypted, is there a way that i can place useroptions on sd card so sauron can recognize it?
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
It does, sdcard is part of data (unless you mean external sdcard). Also, data should be decrypted before flashing (either by twrp or during to booting process)

What ainur build sounds best to you?

Idk why but i still like build 11.03

Or there aren't any sound changes in latest build(placebo)?
[Android Software Development] manpildo:
11.03 is the best for me. Later builds degraded quality and made my phone act strange, so I'm staying on it until confirmed fixed (haven't tried the latest version yet though).

There is no app. Flash and forget. Switching on/off - ticking or unticking in magisk modules.
[Android Software Development] handers1234:
Oh so its not just me(i don't have pricey equipment)but yeah i noticed difference between 11.03 and 18.04(still prefer 11.03,idk how to describe the sound,it just "better",lol),me too haven't tried latest build.

You know the dev make first post for something and you should read that first,really.
[Android Software Development] bick:
I've just gone from 18.4 to 02.05 and I think it sounds harsh and loud.

is there any link to previous builds as I deleted my 18.04 and also would like to try 11.03?

What's version Ainur gives the best sound?

Wysłane z mojego MI 6 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Android Software Development] gehess:
I have no problems with the latest version. Others disagree.

But why trust the opinion of random users over your own ears.
[Android Software Development] bick:
Well, I tried uninstall first to hear without Ainur.

Then tried 2.05 then 18.04 then 11.03 then back to 2.05.

I thought 2.05 was the best, in my opinion, the mid-highs and highs sounded better.

I have poor high hearing so this is probably why it sounds better to me.

Using:

HTC10 with custom Oreo AOSP ROM

Tested with Pink Floyds "Fearless", 24bit/96k FAC

This mod has greatly changed my listening experience. The HTC10 has a high-end DAC with separate L/R headphone amplifiers.
