I think there's two kind of people. First type looks for their ideal flat frequency response and do anything they can do to flatten it (often spend massive amount of money). Second type which i am, buy headphones based by their coloration preferences. For me, coloration of headphones is some kind of "soul" of them :D

I don't understand why people buy for example V-shaped frequency headphones and try to flatten their response. Ofc there can be financial reason for that, but not always it is.

I am kind of V-shape guy. I like 20-150 hz bass and treble clarity. My ears are very sensitive to sibilances, so this is why i like more spacious sound, and that's why i use Joe0Bloggs spatializer.

I sent frequency response headphones which i love to hear :)

Most 3d or surround virtualizers boosts trebles and bass and/or leave middles behind and this plus reverb creates hall effect. I heard that 7.1 irs which you sent Mr Techguy777, and after adjust gain i found that it sounds pretty much the same way as my phone always sounds to me. That's why i checked how it looks. Maybe that's because i use this filter as default in my LG G7. (See attachment and compare to my earlier screenshot).

Please don't think that i'm guy who trusts only graphs etc. I trust my ears and graphs almost equally. But i am listening music through ears, not eyes, so you know... :)

But many times something sounds better to me and after compare to graphs and other "technical explanations" i found that i was trapped by placebo effect.

Got bootloop on my Vince running android 10 (havoc 3.1) after flashed magisk module via TWRP (I have to flash via TWRP because when I flash via Magisk it said: "cannot mount /dsp")

Please help!!!
[Android Software Development] geiszla:
I have the same problem. It would be good to know how to solve it. I had the same with Viper4Android, there I just needed to rename post-fs-data.sh, but that solution doesn't seem to work here.
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
I don't own an android 10 device but I know that/system can't be mounted anymore on 10. Maybe that's the case for/dsp (stands most likely for digital signal processing) too or it's a subfolder of / system so if magisk can't mount it TWRP won't do it neither.

Which version of magisk are you on?
[Android Software Development] geiszla:
/dsp mounting in TWRP works, it says it's installed correctly, but the ROM doesn't boot.

I need to remove the module with the mm script to boot into android. Also before, when I was on Pie, I had the same with Magisk not being able to mount it, but could install with TWRP and use it. I'm using the latest Magisk (20.3).

Try to remove service.sh file. It helps in DTS_HPX module for me.
[Android Software Development] geiszla:
I finally found the source of this problem. It has to do something with Magisk not being able to set the SELinux rules (I have a ROM with SELinux permissive, so that may cause it to fail?). Nevertheless, if you have SELinux on permissive, you can simply remove the corresponding lines in the setup scripts of the module.

Download the mm script for Magisk module management from recovery (This is to temporarily disable the module and boot into Android to edit the file. You can also edit the file using adb from recovery using another device (e.g. computer) if that's your thing.)

Install Ainur Sauron (or any other module, which requires some rules set for SELinux)

If it can't install in Magisk, because it can't mount /dsp, download the TWRP zip from the XDA thread and flash it from recovery.

Boot into recovery and flash the mm script zip.

DON'T reboot yet. Go to Advanced -> Terminal and enter "sh sdcard/mm"

Select "d", then type part of module name (e.g. "sauron"), then press enter. It should only show ainur_sauron as disabled.

Reboot to System, choose your preferred file explorer with root capabilities and go to "/data/adb/modules/ainur_sauron".

Open "service.sh" with a text editor and place a "#" before the line that starts with "magiskpolicy" to comment it out. (If you have problem with another module, look around in the module scripts for this line and comment it out everywhere)

Reboot to recovery, go to Terminal, start mm script and do the same as before to enable the module.

Reboot to System, and it should work.

Note that you need to do this every time you update or reinstall the module. I hope this helps.

I wonder if this is compatible with iBasso DX160 using Lurker FW as it allows one to use Magisk on this unit. Been searching for an Android DAP that has a superior dac unlike from the Smartphones.

For those who has it, is Sauron or Narsil works on this unit? Thanks in advance for those who can share their wisdom.

Hi dyval,

Which Viper's profile your using with Ainur ? :confused:

Do you have Magisk module Audio Modification Library enabled ? :confused:

What is the order when you flash Viper, Dolby Atmos, Ainur Narsil, Audio Modification Library ? :confused:

Thanks

To all,

Working on my phone (Narsil)

OnePlus 6

Android 10 (10.3.0)

Magisk 20.3

TWRP-3.3.1-16

No Youtube (or SoundCloud) issue

Sauron:

Work on Spotify

Not work on Youtube and SoundCloud
[Android Software Development] dyval:
With latest Magisk 20.3 it seems it doesn't need to have AML installed. I removed it and Viper + DD still works.
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
AML patches the files when it get's installed. So it's possible that the mods work furthermore after being patched even without AML. When you install or update them I believe AML will be most probably needed again.

There is also a new build out for magisk 19+. [MENTION=5070100]Khantran[/MENTION]: The flashing order doesn't matter for me, I usually flash Sauron and Viper first and AML at last, it's nice to see in the flash log when the installed audio mods get patched.;)

I installed the Narsil zip on my first gen. Pixel XL and I wonder whether its supposed to reduce the loudspeaker volume? Might be a placebo but it feels like the ringtone etc. through loudspeaker sounds softer/ quieter than before, without any mod. Can anyone confirm?

Also which mod to install over this to have a little boost in the audio output, both in headphones and loudspeaker? I don't need plenty of things just a clean booster mod.

Try viper4android but you will have to flash the aml module after as well
[Android Software Development] ithehappy:
What will be best to use to boost volume alongside Narsil, Viper or James DSP? If I use either of them though, won't they overwrite what Narsil is supposed to do? I just wanted the feature of Narsil (the purity) but as it affects the loudspeaker volume output, lowering thereof, I just wanted something which will boost it back and then some.
[Android Software Development] pgravili:
I think it is possible to increase the volume by working on narsil_useroptions. I would like to kindly know from someone what exactly the values ​​are to change. Thank you!

Hey, I flashed the Ainur Sauron magisk module but the "debug log" is not present... Is this normal?? I reflashed×2 and saw it and it says Failed and it disappears shortly after.. Does this mean this mod not working on my phone??
[Android Software Development] shohabmsk:
No effects(bassboost, reverb I mean all these) processing(nothing in the list- dumpsys media.audio_flinger, though all are installed and placed correctly, rechecked) after ainur sauron flashing on Xperia Z5(marshmallow and nougat). Also replacing manually ainur sauron effects like libbundle.so with stock one, causes same result or effects seen as "Proxy Aosp".. etc(with same uuid to all Proxy Aosp- the one from Sony hw or sw uuid I think), or stops other effects to load. After using heads longer with playing with these(forgot to take logs), I'm living with stock ones, just needed peace.

Don't know why isn't working on Sony, it's meant to I thought.

James + Narsil works fine on 10.

You don't want to run both James and Viper - they basically do the same thing.

for me 03/04 works on my enchilada with crDroid v6.3 (Android 10)

I'm using this with v4a, jdsp and aml

on Android 10 I have noticed, that you need to install v4a a second time. after the first driver installation and restart, it always ask you to install driver. after second install and restart it works. maybe that's your problem?

try remove all soundmods, install v4a how I described, then narsil and aml as the last one

[Android Software Development] dodo2244:
Take a look at posts #2 Sauron and #3 Narsil.

My understanding ....

In simple terms - Sauron adjusts the sound settings in the OS to improve on stock settings. >95% of the time big improvement.

Narsil 'strips down' the sound settings to bare bones, so that your sound hardware can sound as raw/pure "back to basic" as per from manufacturer.

Let it just work without software 'mud'!

That's why you can't mix them.

Test and see which one works for your ears [emoji6]

OnePlus 6T running the latest stable OOS.

I had to revert from the latest version 5 back to 4. I still can't pinpoint it, but I lose all audio with the latest as well as experiencing UI stutters which I've never experienced with an audio mod.

This is with and without the latest AML, all default settings, and with/without any other audio mods installed.
[Android Software Development] guitardedhero:
I only worked with the a1 universal zip. I extracted the zip and examined the contents thoroughly.

I copied the apk and its folder and placed in /system/priv-app. I copied the libarkamys.so library and placed in /system/lib/soundfx. I copied the armakys folder and placed in /system/etc. I then placed the permissions xml and framework jar into their corresponding locations as well, /system/etc/permissions and /system/framework, respectively. 0755/0644 permissions for folders/files. Lastly, I added the libraries { and effects { entries to audio_effects.conf in /system/etc and /system/vendor/etc.

My reasoning for this method instead of flashing the zip is because I was working with an existing Numbers installation with LeMax Atmos, however, I usually manually install most zips anyway. The only time I usually flash a mod is when testing a zip I make available to ensure that it works properly.

I'm certainly not suggesting this method over flashing the zip in the OP, but it's the only way if a customized installation is desired. Of course, the update-binary script can be edited as needed for whatever customized installation you might want. But remember, the team has prepared the script to install the contents as intended so don't view my procedure as a recommended installation, I am just answering your question.

I will experiment with the build.prop entries next after I am 100% satisfied everything is still working perfectly. It's been perfect since my last post which is a good sign! :good:

Edit*

I forgot to mention that I checked in:

Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System

to ensure that the arkamys service apk had any requested permissions enabled. Phone permissions were not granted after that first reboot (not a sign of anything wrong, btw) so I enabled that permission and promptly rebooted again, although that reboot was not likely necessary. :good:

There is no doubt that this is going to be a very popular/successful mod/add-on so I am focusing on perfecting it as an add-on for our sound system so that we can eliminate as much disappointment as possible, mostly the harmony of the v4a and Atmos apk's with this library and service apk.

Whatever i come up with, if it is even needed after further and more device testing, will not be provided by us but will be sent to the Ainur team for their evaluation to see if they would like to make it available or even possibly fine tune their current zip(s), eliminating the need for an extra version. It is crucial that everyone respects the usage policy clearly outlined in this OP. We don't want to ruin a good thing, do we lol? :good:
