Raspberry

I'm running LineageOS 16.0 on a Raspberry PI 3B

I installed Nero, but audio (Spotify 320K, Poweramp FLAC) is still upsampled to 96kHz (as indicated on my USB DAC). Same FLAC via USB Audio Palyer Pro is correctly sampled to 44,1kHz.

I guess that means that Nero isn't functioning? Or am I missing something?

Is there any expierience with Raspberry (couldn't find any on this forum)?

Next step: Sauron?

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Has anyone used any of the Aunir sound mods with the JBL Soundboost 2 mod for the Moto Z series?

I'm not sure if the mod will sound better on baremetal stripped by Narsil of all the gimmicks and whatnot, or if Motorola and JBL may have some proprietary blackbox in their sound codecs that actually improves sound quality when using the speaker mod.

Anyone have any experience, advice, or input?

Lg v20 h990ds (rr7)

I installed "Ainur Narsil" Magisk module on my V20 H990DS with RR7. I listened to a flac file before and after installing the module, and.... that a sound! it is a piano recording and I have goosebumps: it seems to stay in front of a Steniway Grand Piano! Great with Aimp app.

Is this only a temporary situation? I've been told that "ess HiFi dac only runs on mi2s interface and ainur narsil doesn't fix that". Should I have to wait for the next release? When will it be?
[Android Software Development] surajloharia:
Dont know if Narsil working or not but some libraries didn't load..

Viper installed with stereo speaker mod

No AML ( with aml viper keep on asking drivers ) A1

Using narsil useroptions with the features set to true..
[Android Software Development] Keule-Tm:
AFAIK, Viper plus Narsil *without* AML will always fail.
[Android Software Development] surajloharia:
Viper always ask for drivers with AML , remove AML and vipr will work along with stereo mod.

Iam not sure bout Narsil.

Have you checked the logs and ss ?

Hey all,

I see all time People don't know if narsil is processing with this command :

If it's possible can someone give the real output we need to know if it's working ?

Hello developers/people, I've successfully installed Ainur Narsil + Viper4android on my G7+ ThinQ, but I would like to know what the useroptions are for & how do you use them?

Also, is it better to have Ainur Narsil mod alone or should it be Ainur Narsil + Viper4android combo?
[Android Software Development] 64ashg:
For my setup,

Oneplus3t & redmi k20pro

Sony Mdr150ap,

Bass guitar heavy, warm songs,

2/6 channel movies and streaming music

Ainur narsil + viper works best. With ddc and kernel files from viper thread.

Now the question you need to ask yourself is what you listen, soundstage & genre wise, what is your equipment to listen from, streaming or flac etc. Try and experiment for yourself and report back..

Hello! Ainur Narsil fails to install in Magisk manager. Downloaded the zip from the modules tab in Magisk Manager itself.

Android Kitkat 4.4.4 (Touchwiz)

This phone doesn't have custom recoveries available. Tired flashing the zip in a anykernel3 capable app but it fails to even start the flashing process.

Magisk failed install log : View attachment 5092945

Is there anything I can do to fix this ? or does this phone have a broken filesystem ?
[Android Software Development] phantom146:
May I ask what audio mods you have and what user options did you enable with redmi k20 pro? Did you use aml together with v4a? Etc.

I'm asking because I have some problems with aml and narsil with v4a together, the sound won't play with bluetooth. Has this happen to you?
[Android Software Development] 64ashg:
Yes it has indeed. For bluetooth, after setting up everything and with narsil and v4a working with 3.5 mm jack, just goto magisk manager and in modules untick aml. Reboot and open v4a, let it install and reboot and open v4a and if required, let it install and reboot again. You should be fine then. This workaround is for android 10. Look for v4a installation in v4a by team levitt thread.
[Android Software Development] phantom146:
Thanks mate, do you use acp as well?

And can you send here the user options you use for narsil?

[Android Software Development] vulcanrvn:
Hello,

I have a Razer Phone 2 on pie and had a question, I used to have Sauron + Viper working together in the past but decided to try Narsil. So I decided installed it via Magisk but anytime I try and launch Viper it jsut asks for the drivers and reboots.

I've tried base>viper>narsil no driver repeat

base>narsil puts phone into no sim card mode and cant access home screen

Ive read a fair bit of this thread and think I tried most everything, is there any suggestions anyone might have?

Thanks

Hi,

My apologies if anything in this post violates forum etiquette. I'm trying to install Ainur Narsil via Magisk 20.4 on a really old HTC M7 Google Play Edition running stock rooted Android 5.1, and I'm getting this strange error message:

It seems that the Narsil installer either can't find or doesn't have access to '/storage/emulated/0/', which is strange because this is a filepath I can access and write to on my phone.

Of course, if 'narsil_useroptions' can't be created, then the installation can't proceed. Does anyone know what might be causing this error? Placing a copy of 'narsil_useroptions' obtained from GitHub onto '/storage/emulated/0/' before attempting installation also doesn't work, so it's like the installer can't even "see" '/storage/emulated/0/'. I've searched through this thread and other threads and can't seem to find anything.

Also, does anyone know why Sauron isn't in the Magisk module repository, but Narsil is?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] maiconjs:
I have a Mi9 with MIUI 12 and when installing Ainur Narsil the audio sounds louder in the left position than the right. I made a new flash after editing the narsil_useroptions file marking true in DEVICE SPECIFIC OPTIONS for MIUI but the problem continues. Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] autofreak47:
How do I check if Narsil is working/processing or not apart from the sound test? Any logs or something that I can go through?

How to reactivate Ainur Nasril without restart the phone?

I have a problem with sound quality degradation after long usage.

After restarting the phone, the sound is strong, sharp, and powerful, with many details.

But after long usage with a lot of interfering like ringtone ringing, notification bell, make a call, and another app, the sound quality is not as good as after restarting the phone. The sound volume becomes smaller, more bassy, and fewer details.

I also already activate CPGD = true, to prevent the kernel to turn off some of the audio codecs if not used to preserve power consumption.

But It doesn't have any effect.

Thank you for your help.
[Android Software Development] andruyd:
Interesting. I just installed this on LG v20 HW-915/SW-810 (Lineage 17.1 11-26-20). Excluding the sound, I noticed that when this is module is activated the music stops playing if the display goes to sleep initially.

In Magisk, it has used the toggle switch to see what happens. The display goes to sleep and the audio doesn't cut out. I rebooted and it activated it again. It's not happening anymore. Weird.
[Android Software Development] Darkaedenxxx:
Hi, i have an lg v20 with lineage os 17.1

Is it possible (and good in terms of audio) to install Ainur Narsil (or Sauron better?) and JamesDSP (while freezeing/deleting stock AudioFX in a safe way)?

Thank
[Android Software Development] Darkaedenxxx:
Hi, could you please explain me as well.

I also have an LG V20 with Los17.1 amd would like to avoid the problem.

On the other hands, if i install Ainur Narsil (or Sauron better???) and play music by Poweramp (with EQ or with Wavelet as EQ), is it going to work? Thanks
[Android Software Development] andruyd:
There's no point in installing other sound mods if you're going to use Ainur Narsil (AN). You install AN to remove parts of the system that might change the sound/signal.
[Android Software Development] Darkaedenxxx:
Understood. But installing Narsil does not mean that i avoid EQing my headphone via Poweramp (still removing all the android audio processing by Narsil), isnt it?
[Android Software Development] andruyd:
Basically, one would use AN because they don't want to modify the sound at any point at all. That includes system DSP/EQ or in-app DSP/EQ. Just don't use AN if you want to use other sound mods or use EQ/DSP.
[Android Software Development] Darkaedenxxx:
My idea was to purify the sound from all of the android system signal processing and output the sound directly pure through the quad dac (Narsil).

Then, having the most pure sound from the DAC, i would apply EQ from Poweramp for my specific headphones. Isnt it ok?
[Android Software Development] andruyd:
Yeah it's ok. Nothing wrong with DSP or EQ. Sound is 10000000% subjective. If you don't like it, change it. You're a tweaker anyway. Just like how I like to tweak my Android.
[Android Software Development] Darkaedenxxx:
The only point id like to confirm: my previous experience (last week) with Narsil was forcing Poweramp work output on 16 bit 48khz resampled. While my std poweramp conf is 24bit 44.1khz no resample.

Does anyone confirm that narsil forces poweramp (or other app) to behave into 16bit resample 48khz, despite the setting?
[Android Software Development] andruyd:
I don't use poweramp so can't comment about that. I disabled the audiofx app and disabled the eq on my music player.
[Android Software Development] Darkaedenxxx:
Ok, what do you use? Is narsil forcing anything to behave differently from what set on your music player app in terms of quality (bit, khz, etc)?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
Look at the narsil_useroptions file (found in the base of user internal storage)
[Android Software Development] Darkaedenxxx:
What should i change?

Also installing narsil drop the volume by a lot compared to stock lineage os 17.1. Should i delete system.prop in narsil folder in data?
[Android Software Development] jcmm11:
Read through the options in there and experiment to see what works/doesn't. Instructions are at the top of the file.

Not sure about volume
[Android Software Development] andruyd:
Come on guy, just tweak the sound yourself until you like it. There's no wrong way of doing this. You might actually dislike what someone else might like sound wise. I just installed it and listened. Turns out, I like the sound without configuring anything on the narsil options.

To be honest, I'm sick of making changes to my phone Lol. Just going to keep updating with every nightly until LineageOS 18 arrives.
[Android Software Development] UltraM8:
Hey people, long time havent loged in any forums and didnt check whats going on here.

Another year passing by. If count from the very beginning of my projects since 2016 - next year 2021 going to be anniversary 5 years of modding.

2020 year was mostly year of camera modding - the new chapter for me. Audio being polished throughout 2019 with release of Narsil is in its final stages as I predicted before releasing it. We will slowly add minor updates for Narsil during 2021 as well. Sauron isn't coming back anywhere near - I'm planning to let pre-Oreo (8.0) androids fully die before redoing sauron fully to reflect newer api.

Hope yall doing well in these covid days, Merry Xmas everyone and Happy new year!

Hello what's up? Honestly, I tried both, no difference at all. I am using using Mi A2.

[Android Software Development] dopebeats123:
No it does absolutely nothing in regards to audio quality, i use this module as a replacement for AML and it also fixes v4a not processing in some apps, so at the end of the day, it just cleans up unnecessary code and stuff, i am using Mi A2. The only way to improve audio quality is using James DSP, V4A or wavelet, apps like Xtreme music dont do anything more than putting strain on your system, and in rare cases causes system instability. As far as android 12 support, it should work, Ive installed sauron on android 10, being only supported till android 9 so yeah.

[Android Software Development] JB@87#:
I dare to disagree that XtremeMusic does nothing and only drains the battery. From the first moment a year ago when I flash this mode and bought it for, I immediately heard a surprisingly significant improvement in sound. I also combined this mode with dolby atmos, which turned out to be a winning combination. after a while I tried to unplug XtremeMusic and left only atmos, immediately listening to the first song was to recognize the impoverished sound, boring without a charge of ascension. I immediately realized that XtremeMusic really works and works! And as for the battery, I didn't notice the increased power consumption either, even though the power saving in XtremeMusic is always off. I repeat that even after 3 or 5 hours of listening, my energy consumption does not surprise me and sometimes it even surprises me. '
