I tried several hours to get v4a working, and never even had the files you mention in those locations to copy.

also, gk1984, the built in equalizer doesn't work system-wide. It works on apps that support it.

edit: Okay found those files this time. Why do we have to install a separate apk to get the interface to show AFTER installing the magisk module. I seriously don't get it, but okay so I got that file copied over and the only version that will let me download the driver is the io_test one I found somewhere around here. Will test later.

edit: Just keeps asking me to download drivers every single time I reboot. I got past this once, but I don't remember how anymore.

edit: after 3 or 4 tries it seems to have gone through.

Edit: But despite all that effort, it just says processing NO. Can't get it to go.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
So if EQ is already pre-installed, then each music app can use it and EQ needs to be adjusted in each app or do these apps have their own built-in EQ?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
If the phone has it's own EQ built in, which is MusicFX or sometimes AudioFX in the system apps (other phones might have something else too), then I am fairly certain it's universal -- set it in any app and it works throughout all apps. The problem is Android treats EQs as music-only features. So some apps are not affected by it like YouTube or other video apps, likely games, and notification sounds.

With that said, some apps have their own EQ that only affects that app. I don't use these much so I can't say if one overrides the other or if the app EQ is combined with the OS EQ.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I will search for apps on the phone to see if and what apps are pre-installed for EQ. It is kind of sad if YouTube or other video/audio app won't use EQ that was set in another app. I believe EQ should be in the settings of the phone under Sounds for example.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
I agree, it should be in the main sound settings section, not hidden. You can get to the EQ in the settings of Google Play Music. I only mentioned it being called MusicFX (which is the name for the Essential) because you have to disable it to use another EQ app.

Also, if you remove Deep Buffer (it's in the system code, not an app), then EQ effects should work across all processed audio. I've only done this with Viper4Android though. You can remove deep buffer with a Magisk Module.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] adam.nox:
I've tried the remove deep buffer, the v4a, and disabling the built in EQ (cause it didn't work either). The thing is, nothing works permanently on slacker radio. I did find some free app that works, you just have to turn it off and back on whenever there's a pause in the music that causes audio signal to BT to halt.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
I finally tried this suggestion this morning with no success. V4A doesn't process with this module and copying the files you mentioned and rebooting for the file copy to take affect. But now that we have a pretty capable TWPR, I might just flash the ARISE sound mod. It modifies system, which goes against the point of Magisk, but maybe it'll work. I used to use it on my last phone.

Update: ARISE doesn't work either. Won't process, likely due to enforcing SELinux (I don't want to change this for security reasons) and not sure if it fixes the issue of audio effects being tied to Phone Speaker tab in Viper.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lexOehm:
In regards the the C-port being read as speakers, try going into your developers options. I use a Stylo 4 no Root and I get an option called "Disable USB Audio Routing". This in theory should stop your phone from making that error.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
Viper4Android and Arise4Android (both of which I have used before/still use) work on this phone and on Android 9. My best guess is you didn't disable MusicFX. You can check by opening an app that works with the default Android EQ such as Google Play Music, go to the settings, and then tap EQ or Equaliser. If it launches Viper4Android, you should be good to go. If it opens Snapdragon Audio+, MusicFX is not disabled.

If this test launches Viper4Android or you did disable MusicFX for sure, then Exit the Viper4Android app from the 3 dot button and open it again. I have had to do this on occasion.

Fwiw, since someone recently commented on this. If you use Viper4Android the best feature you can use is the Input Response Profiles feature. There are a few out there

The best ones are the IRS TubeAmplifier And Technics Preamplifier ones. They make your audio sound warm is the only way I can describe it.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelthree95:
Hi,

I have my phone locked by boot loop a few days ago. I've tried factory reset and usb boot but no luck, it's looping even when trying to reset it by factory reset. LG support is sending my phone to repair on Wednesday. Is there any solution other than Qualcomm flash to get it up? I could use adb if the phone weren't frozen to death. I don't remember putting it to usb debug before boot loop, so can I do something?

Please help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] woodyjlw:
Has anyone put together a list of system apps that fall into the bloatware category and maybe even a list of non system apps that are bloat?

I have not rooted....YET.... but NOT because of the 80% battery, I have never had a phone I did not root within the first day I got it but I have read that many are saying they are finding other ways to do most of what they use to need root to do so I want to try this myself to see if I can possibly live without root.

Have any of you found the disabled bloat system apps still running or syncing in the background? if so have you found a way to kill them?

I dont have a windows pc anymore so trying to do this without the need of connecting to a pc to freeze apps.

BK disabler, bloat ware tab.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] woodyjlw:
awesome. thanks! I paid for the BK Disabler and also downloaded systemUI tuner and shortcut master for hotspot.

I did a couple adjustments in display settings and am now getting around 18 hours give or take on a battery with moderate usage.

I tried to use SystemUI tuner for the annoying volume message but I still get it and bixby keeps turning her volume to halfway and I have to keep turning her back up, but other than that im rocking a non rooted phone for the first time ever......

thanks for for the reply, BK disabler did the trick for the bloatware.

Recently dropped my Nexus 5 after 3 years, leaving the entire bottom bezel of the screen cracked and fallen off and just waiting to have a drop of water get into it. I'm dead set on getting the 5T, as I don't know how much longer I can baby my current device. Already planning on getting up early to order, but do their phones sell out in seconds? Thanks!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dariusdd:
The oneplus 3t sold out pretty darn fast last year (in EU at least). It was out of stock by morning. I recommend waiting for the hour announcement and just camp it then, as you won't lose your chance in seconds.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] nil.d:
I don't think so!

Look, Usually, don't! because not fewer people buy it, But after ditching the invite system they mostly have full of stock to sell. I guess you'll get one if act quickly! And it does change region to region as well. Best of luck!

So the preordering went live. My invite code worked to allow me to order. However when I put in the other discount code from the slip they gave out it said my cart did not qualify. Then I tried again and it said that the code was already used. I placed the order and email customer service. No answer from them yet. Has anyone else who attended the event had this problem?
[General Questions and Answers] elven38122:
I have a Glalaxy s2 Skyrocket. Got it in Dec. 2012, and upgraded to jellybean 4.1.2 early in 2013. The native voice dialer - that most people don't like - worked great: long press on my bluetooth, and it said "say call, and a name or number." Then it would give the option to call or cancel. Over a year ago I let google update to google now and lost the dialer. The one that replaced it calls the wrong contact with no option to cancel. I've talked to Samsung and att with no luck. I uninstalled the google now update, but didn't work. Hoping I can find that app someplace and install it. I'll try to post a screenshot, but don't know if that will work.

I currently have a Nextbit Robin and am looking for an upgrade. My biggest issue with the Robin is battery, so obviously this phone caught my eye with its cheap price, great specs, and huge battery. Is it worth it, especially with most of these devices being new in box for 200-?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
Only if you're willing to run custom firmware, LeEco made the interface literally to sell "Chinese Netflix" and other LeEco services and it's as atrocious as that sounds.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Yeah, you'll probably want to flash Lineage or any other ROM on it if you're coming from the Robin, which is running actually good software compared to eUI. Even MIUI and EMUI are better than eUI, IMO. Just be careful where you buy the phone from, because you're buying a phone from an essentially dead company that has since left North America. You won't get a good warranty on any LeEco phone unless you're buying it from an official vendor (LeEco US, Flipkart, etc.)

If you want a phone similar to the Robin but with decent specs (let's face it, the 808 is a horrdenous chipset), get a Mi A1 (stock Android), or a G5S Plus if you're in the U.S. Both can be had for $200 USD or slightly more.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
I'd pick something else besides Lineage, because kernel development and ROM optimization gives you better battery life on some other ROMs. If he's switching devices for battery life, Lineage will nix that quite a bit. I'm grateful that they are always first with a new android version though.

You offering a guy bigger, wider, fatter phone, with way less proccessing power, worse camera and arguably design, all this for extra 1000mah? No thank you, 4000 is more than enough for me
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] motanel_pufos:
The guy said he wants a phone with a big battery. If he doesn't want a phone with a powerful cpu made by a company that is almost bankrupt and is possible that we don't see any upgrade to nougat, that lenovo is the best battery phone on gsmarena and for a normal people is ok. Not everybody is a gamer or capable to install custom roms. Maybe he wants a phone with ota updates. I change in my le pro 3 like 15 times the rom and I didn't find a perfect one.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] xBane_:
I completely understand where youre coming from, but to be 100% honest I definitely wouldn't go for that phone. I am perfectly fine with installing a custom ROM, because ATM it's the only way to be stable on the Robin. But as the person before you said, I'm not willing to get even less performance than my current device just for battery that lasts 3 days instead of 2. All I really need is a phone that can get 3rs of SOT with my usage, and my Robin can barely get 1.75 hours.

+I wouldnt be able to get the P2 in the first place, only supports 1 of T-Mobile's LTE bands, and the band it supports isn't widely available in my area.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] motanel_pufos:
Phones with good specs, cheap and big batteries... humm... and I want a beautiful girl, with good looks, and a big perfect round pack of batteries that stays young forever. But it doesnt exist. Why do you think that big companies doesnt make flagships with big batteries? Is bad for business. If such phone exist people would keep them longer and wouldn't buy new phones. So they make phones with small batteries. They die in less then 2 years and you would buy a new phone. Phones today even does't have changeble batteries.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
I dont even know what are you talking about here. But le pro 3 IS cheap, last generation soc flagship, and huge battery.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] motanel_pufos:
le pro 3 is cheap, agree, last generation specs, no way, 2 generations behind, 835 and 845 that will come. huge battery? no. is a normal battery for a 5.5 inch phonein my oppinion. huge battery would mean 5-6-7000 mah. And don't forget the cherry, no support from manufactor. Even phones with really bad specs like 1 gb ram and some poor mtk soc and they have nougat or even programmed to oreo. I was stuck on my last phone a Lenovo many years with a kitcat and i really dont like companies that do hit and run. they sell you a good phone and forget about you and the support.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Its only your speculation so far, nothing constructive. Spec wise it IS last generation as i said, because only newer soc from qualcomm is 835, yes 845, 855 and so on will come, but as of this moment it is last generation. About battery again, it is big, huge whatever you call it, because no phone fom current flagships has such capacity, most 5.5 inchers range from 3000 to 3600, look at pixels, lg, galaxies and so on. Anyways this is pointless, cause all you do here is bash leeco, like you have some personal agenda against it. No one talked about after sales support or said it was important factor
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] motanel_pufos:
I din't said that my le pro 3 is bad. But It has it's own good points, and bad points. When someone wants to buy it, it should know what are those points.

This brick has a huge battery. All curent flagships from Iphone to samsung and miaomi have small bateries. Le pro 3 has normal battery for a phone with snapdragon 821 and 5.5 screen.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Incogn:
If over 90% of smartphones this size have upto 3600mah batteries, then its not small, its industry standart, and if you have a bigger one, that means your battery is big, not normal. Just because some chinese crap has 6000 or 10000mah doesnt mean that 4000mah suddenly becomes only "normal".

Hold on a second, this may be a dumb question, but is the bootloader on the LEX727 unlockable?

Since I'm in the US and the 727 is the only model that supports all 3 of T-Mobile's bands, it's really my only option. I just dug up a old post that says the bootloader can't be unlocked, and if that's true it looks like I'll be getting a different phone.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
It can be unlocked now. Out of the box it's locked but it's fairly simple to unlock after flashing a file...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] ld626:
Coming from the Robin is definitely a nice upgrade, X727 works great at TMO, all 3 bands plus wifi-calling, havent looked at VOLTE since I install PA, butl the custom ROMs available have some type of little issue mostly with audio, my USB cable gave me problems right out of the box. Choosing a new phone I'd definitely go 820/821 chipset or higher.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] xBane_:
Alright guys, it's official. I ordered a LePro3 off of swappa for 140 in about 7.5/10 condition.

My one thing is the zip that you're supposed to flash to permanently unlock the X727 model is meant for build 19s, while the phone I ordered has build 21s. Is this an issue? How do I permanently unlock the boot-loader on 21s?
