AudioFX is currently uninstalled. (directory removed). I'll try reinstalling magisk and the modules manually.

Found that there's an update to the v4a magisk module and I installed it and rebooted. So far, so good, but let's see if it stays working

From the changelog:

v2.9 - 1.12.2018

Updated to Unity/AML 2.9

Only use newer sepolicy patches and copy lib to vendor for devices that need it (pixels)

Fix old v4a on roms oreo and newer

So this guide will make the phone has stereo speaker just like how it's done on the iPhone?

Can someone please show me the result?

Noob question: Do I need to download Gapps if I'm on a rooted stock rom? I thought that was for if you had a custom rom.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Depends on the developer. Generally your right. Gapps are not needed for stock roms.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
Yes, use Atmos or v4a to make it louder
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HyperEscape:
I have a clean wiped and flashed the latest image 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.021, Mar 2018). Afterwards I have the TWRP 3.2.2 installed and rooted via Magisk v1600.

I did install Permissive SE and Osmosis Magisk Busy Box modules and then installed Viper4Android 2.5.x.x Magisk module.

Viper4Android installs and is working OK, however when I install Dolby Atmos Magisk module, either in TWRP recovery or as a Magisk Module, the mobile goes in an infinite boot screen the google "G" logo. Since I already took a golden backup of the phone using TWRP, I have to boot in recovery by hard power off and then restore the backup.

I have also installed Sony Apps Enabler Magisk module and now I am able to directly install Sony Apps from the Play Store.

Any ideas how to make Dolby Atmos work and which version should I go for.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
Remove the busybox module, you don't need it. Install v4a, reboot. Then install atmos (from my guide, the unity installer) and audio mod lib from the magisk repo, then reboot. These mods will not work without the audiomod lib. You do need permissive when using atmos
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HyperEscape:
So i have the following modules installed in my phone at the moment, and V4A is working fine.

Based on your description I understand that I dont need to reinstall V4A again, I just need to remove BusyBox and install Atmos . AudioLib is also already installed so I dont need to install it again. Is it correct ? I just need to be sure not to break a working installation and save some time on re-setting up the whole thing.

At the same time I came across the following threads, which also mentiond A3MD (which I have tried to be a good audio mod on my other phones). Have you tried these and found them to be working on Pixel with 8.1.0 with Magisk.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
AM3D is broken for some reason, I use ainur Sauron. Similar to arise and works great. just do a fresh install of all your audio mods. Install v4a and atmos (and sauron if you want). Audio mod lib is like the bowtie on a gift, it ties everything together.

UPDATE 3-12-18, updated for android P DP1 since i'm on it. Make sure to flash magisk modules in twrp as outlined in the OP for android P. Android O only mods are outlined in cyan (the color that blinds your eyes, sorry)...

ElementalX has kernel for dev P:)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HyperEscape:
Ok, so I removed all module (except SE Permissive access). I installed Dolby ATMOS, then tried installing V4A , the catch for me which i have tested repeatedly is that during installation it asks for V4A version and the theme to be installed (Original or Materialized). Somehow when I was choosing V2.5.x.x with original theme, whenever I open the V4A app and try to intsall the drivers, it was always giving me a I/O error for not being able to access. When I chose "Materizlied" theme, the app installed correctly and the driver was installed without any prompt.

After V4A , I installed the Ainur Saron and Audio Lib, and now I can confirm everything till now is working in order. Since I also installed the Sony Apps Enabler (Alternate Version) module, I was able to go directly and download sony music app from the play store.

Thanks.

===========

So my happiness was short lived, after used once, the mobile randomly restarted and now V4A is giving the same I/O error and asking to install drivers again. I have started again from a clean slate. Remove all audio mods, installed TWRP and MAGISK. Installed Permissive Magisk Module + Sony Apps Enabler, then ATOMS and then V4A, and V4A doesnt seem to work no matter what sequence I try.

Almost giving up on it, unless someone guides for a better procedure.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HyperEscape:
So I followed the exact steps again and came up with a new observation.

If I only install V4A, and then enable the Bluetooth Audio Processing, then when I connect my bluetooth speaker (APTx) and bluetooth headphones(apTXHD/LDAC) and play music using any music app, the V4A is activated. I can see it by going in the V4A menu and check the Driver Status, and looking for the "Processing" to be Yes. Hence all V4A audio effects work.

However if I add ATMOS, Ainur Saron and Audio Lib (in the same order) on top of V4A, and then try playing music, then no matter how many times i activate/deactivate V4A Bluetooth on/off switch , the V4A driver status never shows "Processing" to be Yes, it remains NO. The V4A driver however remains installed. In such situation the only audio effects that take over are the Dolby Atmos which work fine for Bass Enhancer and other audio features.

So a combination of audio effects from Both V4A and ATMOS dont work together, its an either this or that situation for me.

Can you please reproduce the scenario at your end and inform if I am correct or doing something incorrectly.

Would really appreciate your support since I have been struggling with it for many hours and unable to reach an optimum desired setup.

Thanks.

Do I need to flash ElementalX for better power saving? I already did the greenify and L speed. I'm just thinking maybe there will be an issue if I flash a custom kernel. I'm on stock OS, 8.1 march security patch, stock kernel, magisk 16.1 + greenify module.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it as I am on P and not ready to downgrade. However, I believe Atmos is your culprit. Try installing that first, reboot, then install v4a and audiomodlib. That may be the issue (Make sure to install atmos with the permissive module or it won't work)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbri:
There are now a lot more kernels developed for power saving. I personally use exnoshadez, but I do use elementalx and highly abide by it. EX kernel manager is the best app to use, best buy for me 100%. You may need to do some tweaking, but overall, every phone is unique and test some kernels. If it doesn't work out, you can flash the stock boot.img in twrp and this reverts you back to your old kernel
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HyperEscape:
Well I found its a known defect on if we are running Android 8.1.0 where we cannot install ARISE as a package and have to go for separate installations of ATMOS and V4A. No matter what order your installation is done, it will not work together straight forward.

A possible solution was already given by a member in this post as mentioned on the ATMOS main page.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75262097&postcount=201

However in my scenario its could be an impractical crude way to ensure both audio mods are working, since I mainly use my mobile as music player during driving and i would have to fiddle with it on each app change (as I switch b/w apps for streaming and local music players).

Anyways I am now trying to go back to 8.0.0 to see if ARISE works out of the box without any extra kinks and tricks.

Thanks.

Atmos

Download dolby unity port by [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION]

Install (Universal)

Flash the permissive script in magisk

Flash the dolby zip in Magisk, It's a module

Reboot

App should be installed

IF installing with V4A, install Atmos, reboot, then V4A, then audio modification library, reboot. Everything should work

Followed this to a T. Didn't work. Apparently not a UNIVERSAL installation.

Looks fine, did a clear data and works fine. Made sure on Magisk Manager shows SafetyNet green, added Play Store and Play Services added on MagiskHide list. Clear data and uninstall updates on the app, let it update by itself and still works fine.

My Play Store version is 8.5.39.W-all, by using Magisk, Device certification shows Certified while it isn't before due to unlocked bootloader.
[Magisk] RokCruz:
i clear play store data and all its ok, i have xposed installed so safetynet dont work, so isnt a magisk problem.

maybe you have to install lastest play services apk.

After you clear data in playstore app, did you also uninstall updates (disable) then re enable and allow it to update again? That's what fixes that for me.
[Magisk] Antoine164:
Same problem here with Magisk 15.2

I tried :

-Disable and restore playstore to stock version

-Clear play store cache and data.

-Uninstall iYTBP detach module

[Magisk] madbat99:
After disabling and re enabling playstore, allow to update. Open playstore, tap menu, my apps. If nothing needs updated first list is empty. Swipe left for installed. Should be populated with installed apps.
[Magisk] Antoine164:
Installed apps are correctly showed but I'm pretty sure there's a problem with app update on playstore since I update to magisk 15.2.

I have not had any apps updates since I update to magisk 15.2, before that I had app updates more than once a day.. I think magisk 15.2 break apps updates with Playstore.

By the way I have a Oneplus 3T with Resurrection Remix ROM.
[Magisk] madbat99:
Works fine here, magisk 15.2. wiped data for playstore twice. Both times disabled (uninstall updates) re enabled, allowed it to update itself. All good. It's not going to show previously updated apps. Don't think magisk is a problem. If you wiped data for your whole phone it would wipe playstore and wouldn't break anything, so just wiping playstore alone shouldn't (and doesn't for me or anyone I've asked so far) either. Not saying it didn't for you (I don't have that device or rom) but it shouldn't.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] harry.wong:
hi ttnduy, thank you for creating this thread.

my lg v20 now is no service after i update from lg bridge. before i update via lg bridge i have to upgrade via OTA but fail. then i read a message to upgrade via lg bridge.

i have some questions:

1. i missed this step : "To unlock your bootloader, follow the unlock instructions on LG's site."

so my next step is :

"github.com/jcadduono/android...rtycow#running is that right?"

then after follwing "https://github.com/jcadduono/android...rtycow#running"

my next step is :

"If you don't want to void your warranty please use the dirty santa by following this threat:"

is that right?

2. can you please explain which one i must do(copy and paste) on this step :

github.com/jcadduono/android...rtycow#running

where i run this step? is on adb to copy and paste?

thank you very much
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ttnduy:
1. If you already unlock your boot loader with LG unlocked file then after you do step 3 (type reboot recovery) then you can go straight to "Flashing modem, fix screen static and other" step.

2. Here what you need to copy n paste (Running part in the link):

adb push dirtycow /data/local/tmp
adb push recowvery-applypatch /data/local/tmp
adb push recowvery-app_process64 /data/local/tmp
adb push recowvery-run-as /data/local/tmp

adb shell

$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 0777 *
$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/applypatch recowvery-applypatch
"<wait for completion>"
$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/app_process64 recowvery-app_process64
"<wait for completion, your phone will look like it's crashing>"
$ exit

adb logcat -s recowvery
"<wait for it to tell you it was successful>"
"[CTRL+C]"

adb shell reboot recovery
"<wait for phone to boot up again, your recovery will be reflashed to stock>"

adb shell

$ getenforce
"<it should say Permissive, adjust source and build for your device!>"

$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/run-as recowvery-run-as
$ run-as exec ./recowvery-applypatch boot
"<wait for it to flash your boot image this time>"

$ run-as su
#

From your root shell, it's possible to use commands such as:

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

Help request..

Recently i bought v20 us996 unlocked us cellular.

And it's automatically updated to us99610n.

The signal was lost after that.

What I've done after following this thread instruction:

1. Downgrade to us99610f via patched LGUP. Success.

2. Unlock bootloader via LG developer web. Failed.

I inputted imei & device ID 64 digits. But it's unmatch.

What's wrong with my step?

I'm using adb & got device ID.

My v20 condition now is most basic apps force closed.

I would like to unlock via dirtysanta, but I'm kind of confused. This is my first time using adb.

I hope to get some help in here ???

FYI I'm in Indonesia.

Thanks.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ttnduy:
unlock bootloader via LG web can be use with US996 UNLOCKED Version only, in your case US CELLULAR, you should follow the DirtySanta method to unlock your bootloader and the rest still be the same with the unlocked version.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnblah123:
Thanks for the guide. My v20 is working again! If anyone follow the guide and unlock Bootloader via DirtySanta, some steps aren't very clear, hints:

1. Disable Antivirus

2. When the guide mentions "type" something, it means typing into Command Prompt (unless mentions Terminal Emulator). Press Windows+R to open “Run” box. Type “cmd” and then click “OK” to open a regular Command Prompt. Type “cmd” and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open an administrator Command Prompt. Make sure your device is realized by adb (just run RUNMEFIRST.bat, it will let you know).

3. If typing "fastboot flash boot bootbackup.img" doesn't work, try typing "fastboot flash boot C:\adb\boot2.img" or whichever folder contains boot2.img

By the way, I didn't flash "modem.img", SuperSU or kernel, I guess this method help me get back signal because TWRP is "better/cleaner" than LGUP to flash firmware. I tried flashing different firmware with LGUP, even flashing the US99610f provided by this topic. Still having no signal until I unlock bootloader via DirtySanta, and flash boot2.img and then I got back radio signal!
