Have you tried sideloading the OTA? it doesn't wipe your data, but if you can get your device working at least you'll be able to start from there.

Note that the latest N6F26Q has the loudspeaker call bug, so to avoid annoyance for your buyer you might want to use NBD91X.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] umer.yamin.9:
Hello, I have an A-510FD Duos version. I am bored of TouchWiz UI and want a new UI without installing a launcher. Currently my phone is on 6.0.1 with the latest security patch installed. I want a step by step guide on how to root it with the latest Odin version i.e 3.12.3 as I am a noob when it comes to these things. I have never ever rooted before. Also after a successful root I want help in choosing the right ROM. I would like to upgrade to Android 7.0 and a stock Android UI like in the pixel with Google assistant if possible. Thank you
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abiram26:
This won't make audio playback through the phone speakers stereo again, would it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Does this work for LineageOS 14.1?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Nope... Sorry. I will add that to the list of things it doesn't do.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
I have only tested it in CM13 as I haven't made the jump. But the audio distortion problem is the same in Lineage OS as CM13.

It will work in Lineage OS.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Nice job worked on LineageOS 14.1.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Thanks for the guide. My YouTube videos are no longer distorted and sound good enough, for not having stereo capability on LOS. However, all of my notifications that come in are still very distorted, is there a fix for this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Glad the guide helped you! Unfortunately I don't know how to get rid of distortion when notifications come in. I do believe Unjustified Dev said that all audio distortion will be gone in the near future, of course this guide won't be important at that point. At least audio quality isn't really important for notifications...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
Alrighty, no big deal. You're right, it isn't a huge problem...Just a little annoying. I may have to flash back to stock, the main reason most people bought this phone was for the speakers....And I'm starting to miss the immersive sound that I had from stock :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Yeah the left and right channel bug really degrades the speaker experience... And weird sounding notifications is annoying. I listen to lots of music but always with headphones or with an aux in the car so I don't really care too much...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iNaruX:
Hijacking this thread to ask specifically. I do not care about my speakers I literally only use Headphones.

Is media with headphones played via the AK DAC? Is the quality as good as "super" mode on the stock ROM ? (Again, asking for Media Playback with headphones!)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] spacemanvt:
Question, is the audio on LOS 14.1 with speakers good enough to listen to podcasts and some music with this mod?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Doesnt work anymore on LineageOS 14.1 latest version. I cant change back to permissive.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Flashing the latest build right now. I will let you know how it goes
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
You need root to use SeLinux mode changer. check the OP I updated how to get root.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
My fault.

I didn't realize I lost root after I dirty flashed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
I use headphones all the time. I love it. If you are worried about the quality compared to stock I believe you will not be disappointed. Of course I am not an audio expert and do not have the means to compare the quality side by side. I am not sure if the HiFi DAC is used, that is more of a general lineage os question.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I just flashed SuperSU again now I have root again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
The speakers are not as good as stock, the mod works perfectly but I believe only right channel is played. Its a problem that the lineage os devs have to fix. It is good for listening to pretty Mich anything, oy won't have distortion or anything
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Yes works great for podcasts.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JP_93:
I just replaced my axon 7 because the speakers frequently crackle/pop when I play music at high volume levels or bass heavy songs. It happens mostly on the top 4 volume levels and is more noticeable with certain songs.

Do you think I can fix this issue by flashing Viper?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashishv:
Yes you can. Keep on reducing the output gain until you no longer hear crackle on max volume(media only).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JP_93:
Thanks I think that will fix my problem. Can I use viper as a system wide equaliser too?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Yes. That is essentially what viper is, it has an equalizer and many other sound enhancements. it does not effect phone calls and notifications however
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I am rooted and installed viperarise but app not working. It's still distorted. I am on 14.1.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Did you follow all the instructions? Selinux must be permissive and you need to set the master gate output gain to a lower level
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I can not change to permissive. Are you on the latest 14.1?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Not the latest... You have root right?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
If you get a terminal app there is a command to change selinux
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Do you know what is the command?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
In terminal enter

Su

setenforce 0
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Thank you that worked.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] littlenoodles:
It sounds like you need to leave SELinux in permissive mode for this to keep working - or am I misreading that and is it just necessary during initial setup. In any case, what's the downside to setting SELinux to permissive mode, securitywise?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
How do we get this to stick after boot?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyb3rzombi3:
I just installed the latest ARISE Deuteronomy from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=151719 and if you only install viper without any additions like Dolby you can run it with selinux set to enforcing. So no need to disable selinux anymore ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] doyou37:
You can run it but does it actually process?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyb3rzombi3:
Here you go :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilanerukh:
Which one to download? The aroma or the non aroma? And to install it with TWRP?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyb3rzombi3:
Both should be fine. I used the aroma version since I was too lazy to check how to configure the non aroma version :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Browns:

As soon as the first weekly build of lineage releases, I will test this out myself. Thanks for mentioning it here!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] musicdjm:
New nightly builds are officially available
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thequinox:
Just tried doing it and it's not working for me. I'm running the first official nightly. I installed v5.4.0.4 and only selected the first two during the installer, leaving everything else off.

The issue appears to be getting root access. I have the Lineage SU package installed and it's working with my other root apps, but Viper is not asking for root. It's complaining periodically that it doesn't have root access but I'm never getting the prompt to grant it access.

I might try setting SE linux to permissive later as recommended.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyb3rzombi3:
That's weird.

I'm using SuperSU maybe try that?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Just installed. Tested the newest A.R.I.S.E. and selinux permissive is still necessary. The selinux mode changer app works fine though
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thequinox:
I removed the Lineage SU and put on SuperSU. That solved the permission problem and Viper was able to get superuser permissions. Now I'm stuck on the driver status. I tried changing the SELinux to permissive, but the app linked in the first post, surprise surprise, isn't able to get root permissions. Again, SuperSU is now set up and working with all my other root apps, but this one won't ask.

I remembered there being an SELinux option during the Aroma installer, so I went back and let it change SELinux there. Booting back into Lineage and now the OS shows SELinux as permissive. Great. Go into Viper and the driver status still says "Processing: No".

I fiddled more with it, attempting to uninstall Viper with the Aroma package, which didn't seem to do anything as the app was still there, flashed overtop again, ran "reboot disemmcwp", etc. Still can't get the driver to say processing. I might just reflash the whole OS at this point and go back to the version of Viper in the OP.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyb3rzombi3:
Please check if there is a file inside /system/su.d/ containing "permissive" in its name and delete it. Can't remember how it was named.

If you can't find this file check the others (if there are any) if they contain a line with "setenforce 0".

Edit: Here is the script that makes Viper able to run with selinux set to enforcing. Unzip it and place it in /system/su.d -rwx------ and reboot. If this isn't working then I don't know either :(

View attachment arisesoundserver.zip
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thequinox:
Found the file, deleted it, and also put the file from the zip you included in that directory. No dice. Still says "Processing: No"

Thanks for trying to help but it seems like I should probably just start over. Is there a clean way to uninstall this version of Viper, or should I just re-flash the whole rom? I tried hitting uninstall in the aroma wizard but it didn't seem do anything.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyb3rzombi3:
That's what this forum is for :)

Dirty flash should be the most reliable way since the deinstallation through the aroma file was not working for me either.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Not working on AOKP latest nightly. I am rooted and I have switched it to permissive.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Browns:
It is working for you, but you have to play audio to see 'Processing: yes'
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
When I post audio it sounds terrible.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
It will always say"processing no" until you play music.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
It is running. But someone else mentioned that it says "processing no" until you play music. Unfortunately I have not tested this in AOKP nor do I plan too. Currently I am using resurection remix and it works great
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
OK I am on RR ROM and it does the same sounds terrible. Are you guys rooting through dev options? Or are you flashing SuperSu? Its not working for me ring tone sounds horrible with max volume.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
This mod does not effect the ringtone. Only media playback... I'm sorry... Selinux can be set to permissive inside settings without the app however
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
I was having trouble editing the OP but here is what I was gonna add

Troubleshooting: some people have been having trouble with RR and other Roms. I'm not sure why, but a method you can try is using this aroma installer https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862701290 set it to install viper4arise 2.5.0.4 don't install anything else. I set audio FX to be removed, SD card permission fixed and the selinux switch (which had no effect) if you are using RR then there is an selinux switch in settings so you won't need the app.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Seems to be working now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Good to hear. I may change the guide to use the aroma installer and no other options. That way it's simpler for everyone
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thequinox:
Dammit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
So let me ask a real noobish question. I'm all set to and ready to go thru the aroma installer. If I understand correctly, in order to use the sound mod, I have to switch the Selinux to permissive every time I want to use ARISE? While Selinux is set to permissive, will the phone misbehave in other areas? Just trying to gauge if it's worth the trouble to go this route. No offense to the great devs that cook these mods up as I think the work here is awesome. I would just like to know at what price or sacrifice does using the mod accrue?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Setting selinux doesn't break anything, it only makes your phone less secure to viruses. It doesn't effect your experience or anything else. IMO it's worth the trouble as it has no other effects.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
Awesome answer! Thank you kindly sir! I will be running thru the set up now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] djona12:
Thanks for the quick guide !

Working fine here on RR with AX7 kernel (both last version). Although i found that -14dB was a better choice.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluestudy:
Exact same setup as mine. -10.5 still seemed a little distorted. I'm trying to remember how loud stock volume was though. Lol.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kevinmcmurtrie:
I have a stock and a LineageOS phone. Stock is much louder. You can put an induction coil over the speaker and check it on an oscilloscope. Stock boosts the amp's PWM voltage by about 50% when the volume is raised. 3rd party ROMs boost for a moment then clip at low voltage. That moment of boost is why it's so badly distorted.

Stock is always badly distorted, though. It's the worst amp I've heard yet on a phone - aliasing, dithering, and crossover distortion all at once.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
I ran thru the aroma installer for V4A and set it up on RR with AX7 Kernel according to the guide. I have to admit that this sound mod is absolutely genius! It fixes the distortion and makes the speaker sound magnificently better than without the app especially when you begin tweaking the equalizer. Big big big shout out and thanks to the dev and OP for this. My phone is damn near perfect at this point!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Kajuna0:
Hi. Can somebody using this mod check if there is an option to turn audio from stereo to mono? Merging channels should help a lot with the stereo problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hola

I think it has been mentioned before, if not this thread another one elsewhere, that merging stereo into one channel is already available at least in LOS and LOS based ROMs.

Settings -> Accessibility -> Mono audio option.

Not sure exactly how much it actually helps.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Kajuna0:
Right. The thing is maybe with v4a we could merge audio to mono only for the built in speakers, hence not breaking stereo for bluetooth and headphone audio
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hola

Makes sense. I was looking for this functionality when I was using V4A, but I found that it's a hit or miss with getting this mod to work on my phone. I haven't tried recently though. Hopefully someone can test and report back if indeed V4A has this merging for channels feature - would be surprise if it didn't.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dardack:
Thanks OP. Works great on LOS 14.1.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Kajuna0:
Thanks OP, this really makes LOS much closer to what this phone should be. Now, I think I found a pretty decent fix for the stereo issue:

- Once Viper4Arise is up and running, go to the Speaker Phone tab.

- Master power should already be on if you've fixed the distortion, otherwise turn it on

- Turn on Convolver

- Open Convolver settings and Select impulse response: SRS_1_1_Normal_stereo.irs

- Make sure Select Cross Channel is at 100%

Done. This will make both speakers output both channels while bluetooth and headsets continue to work in stereo as expected (which would not happen with the Accessibility fix). You will not have the stereo effect that the stock firmware provides, but having stereo from such close speakers isn't really spectacular anyway.

[IMG="Axon 7 LOS stereo fix"]http://i.imgur.com/R7yuf1R.png[/IMG]

I think that's the closest I can get to a proper fix, the rest is on ZTE's hands.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] runderekrun:
Thanks man but where do I find the SRS_1_1_Normal_stereo.irs file? When I click "IMPULSE RESPONSE" it says Viper4Android/Kernel folder is empty.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Kajuna0:
It came with the v4a installation, I guess, I have plenty of options there

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Here's the file in case its missing in the v4a installation: http://tailorandwayne.com/SRS_1_1_Normal_stereo.irs

I found it in: /sdcard/ViPER4Android/Kernel/SRS_1_1_Normal_stereo.irs

There might be other files that work better, I'm not sure. This one does the job
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] runderekrun:
Thanks again! Sounds great!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harmtan2:
You sir are a beautiful man!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] aLexzkter:
Having both speakers play the same sounds at the same time doesn't mean higher dB?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Kajuna0:
Not necessarily. If you did it with analog signals (with a physical adapter for mono headphones, for example), waves would not only add up but also cause weird interferences to each other. Digitally, it depends completely on what the software does. Some of the convolvers I tested raise the volume more than others, but you can always compensate that by lowering the master output a little further (see the fix in the original post).

What I have now realised, is the software processing takes some milliseconds, so when playing videos the lips are out of sync. We still need ZTE to provide a proper fix.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] norgan:
Compression also helps
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snaptraks:
Weirdly enough I can't seem to make this survive a reboot. I have to open V4A again, switch Convolver off and on again to get it back.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Kajuna0:
Happening to me too
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluestudy:
Which version are you using? I haven't tried a reboot yet, but I upgraded to 2.86 a few days ago, and it's been working great.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snaptraks:
I used the 2.2.3 patched from this guide: https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-r-s-e-sound-systems-deuteronomy-t3534480

I'll look into the version you're talking about, and see if it does fix it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HansWursT619:
Installed 2.4, the stereo workaround works, but I get very significant audio delay :(

Also the speakers still crackle at high volumes.

Should I try a different version?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vurio:
There will always be an audio delay as V4A is post processing the audio. There is no way around it.

To reduce crackling set the volume as high as possible and then reduce output gain from the "Master Gate" option on V4A.

Is there any special ways to uninstall this or just uninstalling the driver and removing the app enough?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] masong397:
Just dirty flash your room over it. If you don't want to do that, the flashable zip may have options to uninstall. I can't remember correctly. With the audio fix in lineage this guide isn't really needed anymore. I still use viper4arise because I like the other features it has

I just got a new grey LeMax2 X822 with 16S stock rom. I have enabled USB debugging and bootloader unlocking, enabled MTP device when plugged, I can see it as "Le Max2" MTP and can browse internal storage. I've tried different android adb drivers and two computers (win10 and win7). There is no yellow question mark, and device is recognized as "Le Max2" on win10 and "Android ADB" on Win7. However when i run cmd and type "adb devices" the list is empty, and when I type "adb usb" - I get "device not found". I've tried everything I could think of. What's the problem?

I want to install CWM recovery and a rom. But I can't! Please help, I don't know what else to try.
