Hi all, and especially hi to [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION], [MENTION=8116982]ShadoV90[/MENTION].

After a long leave of absence I'm back!

This time with a new phone, it appears that I'm the first in this thread (according to the search tool at least) with a HTC U12+.

Considering the above statement, I'm more than willing to be an alpha tester to help get dolby working on the U12+.

Though I have one slight problem. And I believe this is more the fault of HTC than this mod, and once I get around this I'll be able to test thoroughly.

Below is my report of my first install attempt on the U12+:

Installation method: Magisk Manager

Result - Bootloop.

Magisk version - 17.1 (Latest Stable)

Dolby version - Latest Unity.

Further details:

Recovering from TWRP back up was impossible, had to RUU back and then restore TWRP backup.

I was having an issue with /vendor not unmounting, thus couldn't restore the /vendor backup.

I successfully restored /data, /system and /boot. But /vendor was unsuccessful.

After successfully restoring /data, /system and /boot I was still having a bootloop.

This suggests that whatever was causing bootloop is related to changes to /vendor.

Here is where I'd appreciate the help of anyone with deeper knowledge, what changes to /vendor does Dolby install make.

And how could I avoid bootlooping in order to test from a booted system?

Further interesting information:

htc_audio_effects.conf has no mention of Dolby or Boomsound.

I don't know what this might mean for getting Dolby to work on this device, but it appears HTC doesn't use Dolby any more?

I appreciate all your help, and I'll keep on investigating to see what more help I can provide.

Hi again, I was looking at the possibility of audioserver being an issue. This is what I found:

mediaserver.rc and audioserver.rc are both located in /system/etc/init and both are sized 4.1kB.

As determined in my previous post it appears that the issue is related to /Vendor partition, therefore we can rule out for now that audioserver issues caused the bootloop.

This being said I must make clear that this device is supports "Seamless Updates", in other words it has A/B partitions.

So things are a bit different.

I'm wondering if anyone else has a phone with A/B partitions? and have Dolby working successfully??

I'm on linageOS Oreo 8.1, the mod installs successfully through Magisk (the non-unity zip fails to install in twrp) and on reboot the module is activated in Magisk Manager but the app is missing in launcher/apps list. I tried removing and reinstalling and different versions but I can't get it to show up after reboot. Can anyone help me?
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
What Magisk version are you using and what build of the Dolby mod have you tried to install?

The problem of app not showing up in app drawer has been reported, maybe it's related to the Magisk version.
[Android Software Development] drt0:
I'm on latest Magisk version 17.1 (manager version 6.0.1 151), I tried with the module versions from 2018.02.20 and 2018.23.10 (from [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] website).

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

May i know what Dolby Atmos version that you used? Will you share it?
[Android Software Development] lilbrat:
Here's the version I use.. Dolby-Atmos-Axon7-Oreo_09.20.2018.zip, once you install it make sure install

Audio_Modification_Library from Magik manager downloads.
[Android Software Development] alfan.y:
:( Not work, stuck on boot. Do you use custom stock rom or aosp? Because my Z3 using Carbon Rom. Seems i have to satisfy with DDP.
[Android Software Development] lilbrat:
Oh, is your rom based on android 6 or 7 maybe 5? I had the Z3 many moons ago.. You need hunt down an older version.. That has the nice nice eq..
[Android Software Development] alfan.y:
Carbon Oreo, latest build. It's okay, for meantime just stay on DDP.:o while keep searching the solution.
[Android Software Development] lilbrat:
Ok..good luck.
[Android Software Development] RalphMalph:
Is there any development in making a working Dolby Atmos for Android 9? Or development stopped after February 2018 (latest release)?
[Android Software Development] Scofield1990:
No Dolby Atmos support for Android Pie? ?
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
Have you read at least the post above yours?

Or the last pages? No, no Dolby for Pie atm.
[Android Software Development] Scofield1990:
Yes, but I read the previous messages only after posting my message. Is there an alternative to Dolby in Android pie?
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
I think Viper4android and Ainur Sauron are the only mods that can improve the sound. Both available in the Magisk repo. Sauron has no UI, Viper has and both together make a good sound, maybe not as good as Viper and Dolby but better than stock.
[Android Software Development] Scofield1990:
I have tried Viper, but don't work..
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
You took it from magisk repo and flashed it via Magisk manager? What exactly "Doesn´t work?" No processing? No driver?
[Android Software Development] Scofield1990:
I have installed, via magisk, the module "Viper4android FX" version 1.8 (last). The installation was successfully, i have enabled It, but It didn't produced any effects.. i have tried all the settings (equalizer, bass, etc) but nothing is changed compared to the equalizer stock. I am on AEX 6.. pie
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
Is the driver installed? Hamburger menu left, driver status.

When music is playing it should look like in attached screenshot.
[Android Software Development] Scofield1990:
I did not have it installed right now, just because it did not work. I had enabled the drivers, I had the same screen, but varying the settings, as I wrote, had no effect.
[Android Software Development] Predatorhaze:

[MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] Where's the problem with Xiaomi Miui ? no any versions work unity/standard [emoji31]

Wysłane z mojego MI 6 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Android Software Development] akshmau5:
I am sorry to say this, but most of the times MIUI itself is the problem, based on anecdotal evidence for reference.
[Android Software Development] Adamk102:
There was no problem on Android 7. Dolby 6.5 work great
[Android Software Development] akshmau5:
If you haven't tripped your ARB then perhaps you can think about downgrading.

If I was on MIUI i would never update it to oreo as i need mods like these. (which aren't working on Miui).

Another solution might be to move onto other sound mods which are compatible or ask in other forums if anybody else got it working for MIUI on oreo. (Go through the past posts here maybe).
[Android Software Development] alfan.y:
:D i am give up and rising the white flag. Only this is my solution for meantime to getting DOLBY effect. Probably also work to others phone that failed to install Dolby Atmos Oreo.

That one is working for me too in combination with latest Viper and Ainur Sauron. The effect is not very strong but it's better than no Dolby at all.

[Android Software Development] Adamk102:
Sorry Miui vs dolby atmos.. Dolby loses

Wysłane z mojego MI 6 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
It loses against Motorola in most cases too. It's the only reason to not update my Moto G5+ to 8.1. No more Dolby is a deal breaker. There are some mods around that work but sound very average. I would test everything what is able to produce a sound like the Dolby_Atmos®_ClassicLenovo_A7000 in combination with (working on 8.1) Viper. I can't live without that audio orgasms....

So if anyone needs a alpha/beta tester for Dolby on 8.1: Here I am! (And I don't think I'm the only one).
[Android Software Development] samuel.freitos:
You're right! I was having trouble while trying to install it on magisk17.1. Thank you so much!
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
Unity or normal version? What build? I tried different ones with magisk 16 and they all caused a bootloop.
[Android Software Development] samuel.freitos:
I flashed the latest standard version, but i can't control the equalizer and effects
[Android Software Development] Demonlink14:
What would be the problem then?

Hello members. I own an A7 2017 running stock android 8.0. I've been trying to get Dolby to work from various sources. I'm rooted with Magisk 17.1 and so far I could only install Viper4Android with a Magisk Module.

So, I've tried installing Dolby with a Magisk Module, with the last update from ARISE, and with the files provided in this thread... all leading to the case that Dolby crashes when opening the app, or it won't even install at all. Using the standard .zip from this thread, when flashing the file, it will abort with Error 1, claiming it can't find a certain Magisk file. (Can't recall what the exact error is at the moment).

However, upon trying out the Unity edition, the flash is marked as successful, but alas, no Dolby app to be found upon rebooting the system. My question is, am I doing something wrong, or is it that Dolby has been a bit tricky to install since Oreo? Because, I can recall I installed both Dolby and Viper with the ARISE Magnum Opus when I had Nougat, but now it's been a headache to be messing with it.

Can anybody please lend me a hand? Thank you so much. :D
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
It is definitely a bit tricky on Oreo. Viper is not the problem but Dolby....for some users it's working, for some it isn't. I also tried each and every combination of Magisk (16 up to 17.2) and the different Dolby modules, everything leads to bootloops, not appearing apps or apps without a function. The only Dolby mod that is working for me is this one but the effect is not that strong as it was with the Dolby modules for Nougat from this thread. Sad thing but it seems if it's working you're lucky, if not there's nothing you can do.
[Android Software Development] Demonlink14:
I see we have similar cases then, because I too have just tried with Magisk 16.3 and everything so far has been bootloops and errors.

Hmmm, sad thing indeed. I guess I'll have to live without it for a while until somebody can come up with a solution; betting on it since I doubt it will work on Android 9.0+.

Thanks for your reply. :D

Check if your data partition is F2FS formatted.

If yes the linked loopback bug fix could help you.

It's for devices with such a data partition and a kernel bug that prevent img files to be mounted r/w, mostly from Motorola. As Lenovo owns Motorola it may be valid for your device too.

To find out how your data partition is formatted you can use this:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kuder.diskinfo
[Android Software Development] arkham00:
thank you for the reply, I checked and it is ext4 and it is mounted r/w, so the issue is somewhere else unfortunately

I don't really understand the connection between atmos and magisk anyway, it is not even a magisk module since I can't install it from the magisk manager, so what's the matter with magisk?

is there another way to install it indipendently of magisk?

thank you

[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
For some users Dolby works, for some it doesn't.

Sometimes Dolby alone is working but only in rare cases it processes alongside with Viper. It's device and ROM specific.
[Android Software Development] taysandman:
Well its seems like a bit of a dance of right installation order among other things. AML being key to patch config files.

The forum discusses many peeps having success with all three Viper, Atmos, and DD plus

I tried many different combinations. The unity installers just appears to be glitching on Galaxy S5 klte Lineage 15.1. The standard SU installer has them show in app drawer but Atmos crashes.

The official Viper4Arise Magnus Opus installer also has issue with Atmos on Galaxy S5 klte Lineage 15.1. It appears in app drawer but crashes.

However, Magnus Opus does install / work with Viper + DD plus successfully. For now I'll leave my S5 without Atmos until unity installer / lineage bugs are tackled.

Also FYI, the Magnus Opus installs / works with all 3 successfully on Note8 Samfail v1 (which is Android 7)

Has anyone had any luck porting this.
[Android Software Development] Zackptg5:
We've been working on/off on it in what little spare time we have. If we get it working, it'll get posted but no promises. Dolby is so ingrained in the rom that porting it is a huge hassle and for most of the newer ones, hasn't been possible

For those having problems with viper and Atmos, try the viper 2.6.0.5 from the xda apps store. Install drivers, Atmos and aml. The thing is I think you need to enable the effects first then play music. If viper still missbehaves, tap the three dots on the top right then hit close until it says "yes" in the "processing audio" section of the driver status.
