Isn't it Nero that removes all the Android processing? What Exactly is it that Pandora do? How can the mod increase Fidelity? It won't change the hardware in the audio chain so what is it in the sound that gets affected by Pandora?
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
It's an audio library replacement. I can't explain it's inner workings but it modifies the library files to increase audio quality and Fidelity by decreasing artifacts imparted by the stock libraries
[Android Software Development] senny22:
Ok, Thanks for your answer.

I feel like i have to say some words...

It's been a great adventure for almost a year and a half since first release by Ainur. Previous impasse approach with many mods, clearly showed we need more efficient solution.

There is where the idea of completely automatic installer came up. For last several months we've been working a lot to bring you the best audio mod ever. [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] made a huge work with installer, that would take ages, if I've been doing this alone.

Based on AudModLib & Unity installer made by [MENTION=5357345]ahrion[/MENTION] (now official Ainur Team member) - we can go even further & implement more things.

I've been collecting lib patches for whole year & never showed them to anyone until todays major update.

There is a lot to come in MK II, there are lot's of thing to patch & there are lot's of bugs. There is where we need your help!

Test it, log it, listen to it & report us with any critical things you will find.

I hope you guys enjoy the new adventure starting today with SAURON release)

[Android Software Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay i manually installed that "Universal_v2.1" edition by moving the libs to their corresponding folders in my system and editing the build.prop with the needed lines and switching SELinux to permissive mode then rebooting ...and it is a damn beast! Here are my findings:

1- Max volume has zero distortion on my Sub-Woofer

2- Bass pronunciation is orgasmic! I adore that bass really!! Even at max volume, it does not feel thin or hollow as it normally felt on my OP3 before!

3- Cleaner sound output with no noise at all!

Will update this post with more findings as time goes!

Kudos [MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] and your Ainur Team! :good:

Guys I have flashed on both a1 and 2.1 but didn't hear any difference in clean stock rom 5.0.2 huawei device.

@ ultraM8 are huawei devices compatible.

I feel no difference or my ears are dumb.

Or team need some work to add huawei devices.

Thanks for your mod
[Android Software Development] Mostafa Wael:
Well I guess there are no details left to be said, but here is how i exactly installed:

1- Unpacked the zip with all its contents

2- Moved the lib files from the /system/lib/soundfx (3 lib files) to the same path in the actual /system/lib/soundfx (it will ask you to overwrite/replace existing lib files, replace them) and set permissions appropriately to rw-r-r

3- Move the 01selinux file from /system/su.d folder from the zip to /su/su.d and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x (0755)

4- Paste the following lines at the end of your /system/build.prop file

lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
tunnel.decode=false
tunnel.audiovideo.decode=false
tunnel.audio.encode=false
lpa.decode=false
ro.kernel.audio.checkjni=0

5- If your device uses an MTK processor, proceed with this step Extract that MTK.sh script and run it via a script handler //didn't test that step personally, I own a OnePlus 3 with a Qualcomm processor

6- Reboot for the changes to take effect

7- Voila! :)
[Android Software Development] Phrodini:

You're learning how to drive or giving lessons?
[Android Software Development] Mostafa Wael:
Ehm... learning :o
[Android Software Development] skyhirules:
I compared what you manually did with the results of the zip flash in my phone. The only difference I found is that though permissions of the su.d file are set in the script to 755 (as you did manually), permissions in my phone after flashing were set to 777. Does this make any actual difference? And why did this happen?

I didn't personally notice any difference after manually changing permissions to 755. The mod was working great before and after.
[Android Software Development] Mostafa Wael:
No idea, but i didn't get it to work with flashing the zip, but it did work when manually installing it in my phone.

And i think that 755 is the right one. I have another script in there with 755 permissions and it worked like a charm. Check the SELinux mode of your phone with both permissions and see if it is changed successfully to permissive or not. Btw it depends on how strict your current Android version is actually, and judging from your sig, i guess your Z1 compact is on KitKat which had that SElinux not that strict
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:

[Android Software Development] JohnFawkes:
do you plan on maybe turning this into an aroma installer with the option to choose magisk or non magisk and put the add-ons in like Dirac and icesound?

edit.... Running this on HTC 10 with viper rom with magisksu and v4a magisk module and the sound is freaking amazing. bass is. incredible without even doing too much to the bass with v4a
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Not yet, sry

[Android Software Development] DroidIt!:
First set of logs :D I did a clean install with ResRemix on the HTC 10, the 05/08 nightly with Open Gapps nano 05/09 and Sauron. It looked like it all installed correctly according to TWRP (3.0.1-1), but it went to reboot and I got white HTC screen and then the dark one and then it went right back to recovery. One difference I noticed is that after flashing Sauron, it didn't auto reboot...if it's supposed too. :D
[Android Software Development] phantom146:
As of the moment I am testing sauron.. nexus6p.. dont really hear any perceivable difference atm, will test more.

I noticed that it did change audio policy conf so that the 24 bit wont be recognized (poweramp's 24bit support on wired headset disppeared) and also enabled the usb dac format with 24 bit support. Thats great but I expected that sauron would finally make my 6p able to listen to 24bit format. Still testing though..

Also, do you suggest any combinations of sound ports/effects with this?
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Flashed over viper and it works fine

Sauron running great here on aicp 7.1.2 for angler! it sounds incredible, A big improvement in the audio mod scene for sure!!
[Android Software Development] FeelThePoveR:
Sauron works on M7 AICP 7.1.2 Rom, but it really screws up the system partition on the magisk version (It's being recognized as 900mb? Instead of 1.8gb with only couple of mb taken) and it breaks every other magisk module.

It was the same with magisk Pandora and if I remember correctly (as I haven't tested it out this time) many apps started telling me that I didn't have enough memory even if I had couple of gigabytes free.

It's also annoying as it seems that the only way to fix that is to completely wipe the device and start over (dirty flash, restoring backup and using uninstaller didn't work).
[Android Software Development] SH4M3:
I had the same issues and ypu can just dirty flash your rom or uninstall magisk and install sauron to system after then flash magisk. Or the best use SuperSu...
[Android Software Development] :
On its own or alongside AcoustiX Audio?
[Android Software Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
it breaks dolby, so no acoustix
[Android Software Development] tinjaladaniel:
So, I dirty flash my ROM, then I flashed in order Magisk, V4A + Dolby Atmos and in the end SAURON.

Clean cache and Dalvik but after reboot:

1) the module "SAURON" it's present in the Magisk (so, the install successfully done) but

2) both V4A and Dolby Atmos crash on start

[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION], at this point, can you tell us (I think i'm not the only one with this issue) once for all the order of flashing this .zip

I mean, i think first of all we need:

1) dirty flash ROM

2) flash oppengapps

3) flash Magisk

but then?

...

I saw that many of us use V4A + Atmos (I want to know, if it's possible, from where they downloaded them because I have an old version and I don't trust in ARISE versions) and in this case, which we should install first? V4A + Atmos I think, or vice-versa.

I hope you understand my desire because not everyone knows how to behave with these things ... that are simple and obvious for those who handle them but complicate for others.

(I have Meizu Pro 5 (with Exynos 8890 SoC, Sabre ES9018K2M DAC, OPA1612 AMP), RR 5.8.3 unofficial, Magisk and I always use V4A + Atmos)

Thanks advicely
[Android Software Development] xSilas43:
It's been reported that Atmos will crash but v4a alone should work fine so try that. But tbh with Sauron you don't need either.
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
Which v4a and dolby are you using? For magisk, only audmodlib modules are supported so check out ahrions audmodlib v4a and dolby

I don't use dolby but ahrions v4a works great with sauron for me

Install order: rom, kernel (if applicable), magisk, gapps, sauron and other magisk modules

Magisk installs only touch the data partition so uninstalling magisk would remove it completely
[Android Software Development] tinjaladaniel:
Like I say, I use an old version (that for me was the only that work) of V4A, the ViPERAtmos_5.5_Sony_Beats_Edition. Now, thanks to you, I understood what I need to do. Tomorrow I'll give you feedback with what I'll do.

Thanks ;)
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
What kind of sh*t is this??:laugh::laugh:

Anyways - i don't use neither Dolby, nor Viper, so i can't help you here.
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
If you have magisk installed, it shouldn't touch the system partition (it all goes to data/magisk.img). Because of this, dirty flashing rom wont effect it since it's installed to data. There's only 1 version of sauron and it only installs magisk version if it detects magisk is installed

Can you post recovery logs of installing it?

The recommended way of removing it is only with the uninstaller

Also, are you using the latest twrp?
[Android Software Development] vasili_defy:
[MENTION=6366997]UltraM8[/MENTION] Bro can you add support for phh Su.

I am using Nero , everything else has rejected to work on my N5X.

Yep I have TWRP 3.1.0-0 and I've attached the recovery log from MK1 flash. I'll try 1.1 when I'm done reflashing stuff.

EDIT: It's still the same with 1.1 log also attached.
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
Install looks good. Do you have any other audio modules installed (magisk or otherwise)? What other magisk modules do you have installed?

Have you tried checking/repairing corruption of magisk image:

Open terminal in twrp and type:

e2fsck -f data/magisk.img
[Android Software Development] dr.zook:
If you read the op carefully, you noticed you should clean install.

Therefore you could use your ears to verify, trust me.

Check before installing and after. You will know.
[Android Software Development] FeelThePoveR:
I have ahrions V4A and AM3D magisk modules installed and I also tried reinstaling magisk before. I also typed that command and there's no difference.

I'm pretty sure that Sauron module is somehow messing things up as running Magisk in core only mode eliminates the problem.

EDIT: It was a problem with audmodlib not Sauron after all and reflashing it on top of Sauron fixed the problem.

[Android Software Development] kyzn:
I just like how clean this mod sounds.
[Android Software Development] tinjaladaniel:
So, I installed the ROM (dirty flash), then Magisk, opengapps and finally Sauron, whose installation has been successful.

The sound works properly (no issues), the two packages (@ahrion and SAURON @ UltraM8 libraries) are both present in the Magisk modules but I do not feel any improvement in audio terms. I claim that I have not installed Atmos and V4A (of any kind) ...

1) Can anyone tell me how do I check if the audio is actually processed through SAURON?

2) If I try to install V4A via Magisk, the driver installation is successful, but after the reboot I am asked to install it again ... goes in loop

3) If I install Dolby Atmos r6.5 via Magisk, the application starts crashing.

Do you have something to suggest or to try?

Thank you ;)

PS: To be honest, of the Dolby Atmos I can do without, but V4A gives me a bass softness that I can not get in any way with other settings. I mean, at home I have a nice subwoofer (BassTech7 technology) and with settings that I've allowed only through V4A, I can get basses that are almost identical to those played by the Home Theater. That's why I love this app.

HTC10 user here, all working great using 1.1 on Viper ROM. No issues encoutered during install and sounds great.

Couple of minor things though:-

In Magisk, after updating to v1.1 it stl says 1.0 for the module, maybe that got missed in the update?

I know its in the OP but can the uninstaller also be version numbered? Will make it easier to track as i tend to keep old copies around just in case etc.

Hi and first of all thanks for your work. I have several questions.

Is this a magisk module?

Do I need the audiolib magisk module for this to work?

I currently have the Arkamys effect port installed. Do I need to reinstall that everytime I update sauron?

Thank you.

1. Yes

2.No

3. Yes and No, Yes you can try if it will work. No, because it might not work with that combined.
[Android Software Development] xSilas43:
This is the future, i used to use a combination of arise core libs and the Pandora mod for perfect sound but Sauron has replaced everything, only mod I use no v4a no nothing.

The two mods will sound different because they use different files, so maybe a thing of preference. You kinda have to try and see if you like the sound but I don't think you'll regret it.
[Android Software Development] ndarkside93:
The audio lib module is installed alongside sauron by the installer. It's an important part of sauron
