[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] P-Griffin:
Sorry for this stupid question. its possible to get viper4android older zips like 1.6.8? I would like to get 1.6.8 zip because that one works with magisk 1600 and Dolby Atmos zip.

Sorry for my English ,English it's not my first language.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Magisk module??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] P-Griffin:
I figure out thanks :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fanatic75:
I wanna know how much does this affect battery? I had it installed for some days but reverted back to stock because I found battery dying too fast. Does this mod sucks a lot of battery?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
I've been running V4A + dolby since February. Never noticed any battery drain at all :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fanatic75:
Are you sure? Can you specify your kernel + Rom and any other battery saving mods you're using.

I'm using stock rom latest there is + flash kernel with no mods other than YouTube vanced.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Pretty darn sure! (Pic) Stock rom + root + Flash kernel + sub themes. No battery saving mods at all. I'm a light user. No social media(don't like to be bothered:cool:) little bit of YouTube, lots of XDA, and generally pull 8-12 hours of SOT (pic) ??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
I don't have any drain either. Been running since I posted guide.

Suggest factory reset then install again. Something maybe draining but it's not v4a or Dolby from this guide.

Good luck buddy
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
When I open Dolby it for everything closes. Anyway to fix it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Did you follow OP?

I just updated to latest viper and all is good using Dolby in OP. I did freeze musicfx though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Hey bud, good to see you again. Quick question, when you updated to the latest V4A through magisk I assume, did you just update it, or clean install the latest module. I'm still running 1.5.5 and am hesitant to update to 1.6.9. Any help would be most appreciated ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
What's up bud!!!!

I was going to update OP tomorrow but for you here you go:

Im running May image of DU

Uninstall v4a,Dolby,Freeze music FX - reboot

Install v4a from magisk - reboot

Confirm working if so

Reboot twrp flash Dolby in OP

All should be working

Fyi I only have tested material with 2.0.5(newer) driver and working great.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Ah many thanks my brother! You da man! ????

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

Are you using AML as well? ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
No I didn't have too. I was ready too but tested at each stage and all is good without it for me.

I'm running DU, are your still running stock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yep, still on stock. Got material ViPER working just fine. Keep getting FC's on Dolby. Gonna try flashing it again, which I've had to do in the past. So we'll see what happens. Thanks a ton either way my friend :good::cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Anytime. If it keep FC try AML and report back might make a difference on what ROM is being used.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yeah, still FC's on me. Doesn't even show up in magisk modules. What version of magisk are you using? That might be an issue. I'm using 16.4 ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Still on 16.0
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Roger that. I'll give 16.0 stable a shot and see what happens. Thanks again bruh :good:

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------

Hot damn! I got it bruh! Just used stable magisk 16.0, and we're Golden! Might want to add that caveat to the OP if you think it necessary. Many thanks again my brother! ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Just a quick update. I still have this working running June update with DU and flash kernel and magisk 16.0 as 16.4 breaks something

OP will be updated soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DevALT:
So viper 1.6.9 + Dolby in OP work ?

In April I tried and wasn't working, just realized that I have the same exact set up as your DU 12.3 June + flash kernel and magisk 16.0

As a other guy mentioned I'm hesitant to update Viper cause everything works right now ?

But if I do update do I need to uninstall Dolby (or untick it in magisk manager) update to latest viper test if it works then retick Dolby?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
I'm the other guy? Yes, uninstall all sound mod modules, reboot, then install the latest V4A with new driver and material version, reboot again. Then if all is well, go back to twrp and flash Dolby. I had to go back to stable 16.0 to make it work. But I see you already have that ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
FYI: The Magisk Module for Viper4Android (the 1st one on the list going down on the Downloads List on Magisk Manager), works flawlessly with Stock Android 8.1.0......
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DevALT:
Yeah I was typing and I remembered seeing a post about it but didn't remembered the name and I got a lazy moment wrote the other guy should wrote Honey Badger though :p

I'll try with disabling Dolby in magisk manager just to see if it work :0 if not I'll uninstall it but hey if it work I skipped a TWRP flash just an other lazy moment that might ends up being longer than it should ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Yes feeze all stock audio mods first. Musicfx... Then go through the process.

Must be on magisk 16.0
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
OP updated!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DevALT:
It's working !

And I had to uninstall module couldn't save time by disabling Dolby module instead of uninstall it :c

And why I need to freeze MusicFX in the screen shot I didn't freeze MusicFX and it's working :o

Also if it needed to freeze MusicFX I could check to update Dolby-oreo.zip to automatically freeze MusicFX? Could be a nice addition to the . zip if we must freeze MusicFX, but it is working even without freezing it, does it have an impact on sound quality?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madscribblerz:
Thanks for the nfo. I was borken on 16.4 and also fixed by rolling back to 16.0.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Did magisk 16.4 cause Atmos to FC?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madscribblerz:
Yep. Installing magisk 16.0 from 16.4 alone fixed it without having to reflash Dolby. So it was definitely magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FlatOutRU:
That dolby helps our device alot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Is that a question or statement? But yes, if you want increased system and music volume, it definitely helps a lot :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Switch Blade:
Does this guide work also on DP3 by any chance?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Try and let us know :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ronzzz92:
I tried following all the suggestions but Dolby still keeps FC'ing. I'm currently running stock 8.1.0 with Magisk 16.0. Viper4FX works alright. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
By chance, did you first download Dolby to your pc then transfer it to your phone? Or, used desktop mode in chrome to download it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ronzzz92:
I downloaded from my pc and transferred it. I read this suggestion in an earlier thread.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Do you have the AML module installed as well? And have you tried freezing/disabling the MusicFX app?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ronzzz92:
Not really. I don't have either of those apps, no AML/MusicFX or am I missing something?!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
AML is a magisk module, MusicFX isn't really an app per se, you should find it in the TiBu list though. Also, does Dolby show up in your magisk module list?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ronzzz92:
Oh I see it now, MusicFX has a defrost option. Do you recommend I install AML too? Magisk doesn't show Dolby in modules.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
You don't need AML. If Dolby doesn't show up in your magisk module list, then it's not properly installed. You are using a P2XL correct?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ronzzz92:
That's right P2XL. Let me try flashing once again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yep, that was my next suggestion b
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ronzzz92:
That's funny. I did the exact same thing and it did the trick this time around. Lol.

Are there any settings that you'd recommend I tweak in Dolby and Viper to get the best audio experience or do I leave it at defaults?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
For Dolby, I keep it set on music. In ViPER, under Fire Equalizer, set the custom profile to rock, then change the 1k and 4k frequencies as in the pic. There are also a ton on music profiles and convolvers you can use in ViPER to get the sound you'd like :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ronzzz92:
Fantastic! Thanks for all the help man. The audio experience is definitely richer now. I'll keep playing around with it :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
No worries my friend. If you'd like to try some profiles and convolvers, here are a few of my favorites. Using your root browser, place the convolvers in the kernel folder, and the profiles in the profile folder :good::cool:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madscribblerz:
Deleted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Like the pic above my post shows. ViPER is just a magisk manager module, and Dolby is from the OP link :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Where did you get those pixel magisk modules??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
From other users along my travels. I'll upload them latter if you'd like :cool:

"SDK 27 Requires Magisk or Root...." Get this message when trying to flash. I'm rooted on Magisk 16.4 with permanent TWRP. Once flashing says done. Dolby shows up in my app drawer but freezes at the splash screen. Also no module shows up in Magisk. Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sharpz811:
Yes use stable magisk 16.0
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madscribblerz:
Thanks for these. I have a Harmon Kardon in my car that has a sub (it's a limited) and the HK Convolver are amazing on it. Way better than the viper settings I was using. All I have set is the Convolver and it's perfect reproduction IMHO.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
Any chance you have the 16.0 Zip?

Edit, nevermind did it through Magisk
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
For anyone who uses Tasker, do you know how you could enable/disable Dolby with some kind of run shell command or even an intent?

Right now I have a task setup to open Dolby and simulate pressing the power button using the AutoInput plugin. Not the cleanest way but it works until I can figure out something better.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMagicPotato:
Where can I find a newer and updated version of Bolby Atmos.zip? Can anybody tell me please?

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
Still can't get this working. Got Magisk 16.0 installed. Downloaded the zip via computer and transferred to phone. Flashes fine in TWRP. I see the module checked in Magisk. But when I hit the Dolby icon in app drawer. Just get a Dolby grey splash screen. That's it. Can someone tell me what's supposed to happen once installed? Maybe I can troubleshoot that way. I'm on 8.1 with June update. Running Flash Kernal 2.46 and Viper works great. Thanks

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Dirty fastboot the factory image to both slots, or use the Deuces script to get back to a working OS. Then fastboot into twrp, and flash twrp.zip, kernel, and magisk. :good:

Deuces script worked like a charm. Thinking maybe Active Edge Mod caused the problem. After I set up the phone imma get this Dolby working.

Has anyone tried to make it work on Android P?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
For those OCD people that always want to have the latest update to whatever, you know who you are:silly: If you want to update to the latest V4A 1.7 magisk module, and still retain Dolby digital, you will need to.....

Uninstall your current V4A and Dolby and reboot.

Then install V4A 1.7 magisk module directly from magisk manager and reboot.

Then go to twrp and flash your Dolby oreo zip.

This is for 8.1, using the material version with the new 2.5.0.5 driver. That is all. Have a blessed day y'all :laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Felosis:
You got it, Brother! My OCD had me upgrade right away and I had the same issues with no processing in both Dolby and V4A. Following your steps worked perfect. I do find it interesting it's working without AML, though. :confused:

Thanks again! :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:

I haven't tested on DP if you are so it may not work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Updated to latest and all is still good!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shooterlgk:
For me when that started happening it was due to an upgrade on magisk..I stuck with 16.2 and its always worked for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
Yes you're right. It didn't install because I was using the wrong Magisk version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shooterlgk:
Did u manage to get it working with a newer version.?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
Nope. I had to use Magisk 16.0
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shooterlgk:
I wonder what's different from these magisk updates that breaks it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
The script for Dolby needs to be updated to the newer template. I'm having a hard time doing so as there are writes needed to the audio_effects files when installing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Keep at my brother, I'm sure you'll get it :good::good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Sorry if I asked this before but Dolby needs permissive selinux to work without FC right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
It'll pretty much do that for you when you flash it :good:

hey, can anyone help me out with this issue..i have successfully flashed viper on pie through magisk..the magisk version of course and it works perfectly with all the required drivers loaded and all but after a few hours the viper effect dies and a restart is needed to bring the viper back to life. Can this issue be solved, thanks in advance !
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Did you disable battery optimization for viper?

Are you running greenify? If so don't select viper.

Pie is going to take a little time to adjust to. I have been successful in getting viper working then adding a new Dolby with aml. Problem is that it the phone lags and Dolby dosent fully work. Still trouble shooting.

I have updated the Oreo magisk module to work without twrp though :p better late then never. OP updated.

Pie I'm still working at.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhingra_vinay_in:
i disabled the battery optimization for viper and I dont really use greenify, but I am still facing the same issue...this was there in oreo as well...a restart is the only thing that fixes it...shall wait for some update that fixes the thing..thanks a lot for the suggestion though

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ossito2012:
See if you can try these from the OG post for Viper stuff. I am not on Pie so I am unable to attempt.

I think the new viper is doo-doo anyways, it is this Dolby mod for some reason that is really boosting sound quality to me, my P2XL is on 8.1 and the latest magisk viper gives me an error about I/O blah blah but DOLBY still works fine so my audio is rocking.

I used to use Viper ATMOS Sony beats edition on my Nexus 6P (miss that phone).

Upon further review the audio.server is crashing. We will need to wait for that to be addressed by them as I'm limited on time and it's more then I know. I'll keep at it though as it's similar to Dolby Atmos issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] madscribblerz:
I get how this stuff can be a pain to the point it's difficult or impossible to implement. This is really disappointing tho. I really appreciated Dolby. If you find a distro that works, or can help toward making one, please keep us updated. I've got my fingers crossed we'll find a solve.

Appreciate all the hard work.
