Emulating Options doesn't helps Me to see how Files affect the System. There is no way around testing AROMA over and over again on the Recovery. Edify and Shell Scripts are really Time Intense Things in the first Time. But actually am i aware of how everything acts and it's actually all about testing changes on the Android System. But it looks I'm going to Drop AROMA soon...

The Benefits are not that Huge and it's Time Intense (On both Ways, Testing and Flashing). I would love to go with a Web Based Configuration Tool (I know how to realize the handling of the ZIPs) but i'm sadly not able to create anything on the Web except for Websites using Google Sites. There is also a something new incoming based on My XZ Premium Purchase and i think it will end without AROMA at all. We'll see what the next Days bring...

Good News! After some Holidays on a Stock ROM for My new Xperia XZ Premium am i back on AOSP with the Patch. I just missed the Features and the Quality of it and i'm looking forward to make the Snappatch even better! I'm doing some more cleaning for the next Releases and i'm thinking about to make the Patch Modular without AROMA at all... So be prepared for new Versions anytime soon, along with some bigger Changes!

Good to hear.

I 've had severe stability problems after applying it to the RR-O 2018-03-18 and a hell to have it done properly without AROMA crashing. Adding a definitive audio solution such as Viper4Android would be awesome.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Let Me explain something...

Viper is really outdated and just not delivering the wished higher Quality. It was great to have Years ago, but Android has evolved over Years while Viper just got slightly Updated to work on newer Android Versions besides a Design change some Time ago. The included Xperia Sound Enhancements are compared to that a lot more complex, actual and deep going into the Android Audio Handling. Including Viper in the Patch would mean to go 100 Steps or just 5 Years back in the Past. The true Power comes not from Software Equalizers like Viper, it comes from Libraries, Android System Configs and of Course the given Hardware. Putting Virtual Equalizers over Audio is just destroying what the Artist are creating and not even using a part of the given Hardware Power or DACs (Equalizers are like Filters). Sure, Viper lets You "tweak" the Sound for Your needs, but that can be far behind what Others like or the Artist have planned for their Songs...

Adapt Sound from HTC, the Xperia Sound Enhancements and Apps like Neutralizer are doing it right. While Neutralizer and Adapt Sound are testing Your Ears, are the Sound Enhancements from SONY just adding more Spectrum to the Audio (Besides giving a EQ which uses the System Libraries). That's far different from what Viper does. I can't force anyone to believe that, but the Differences are clearly to hear, and while Viper has 1000 Configs and Filters is My Audio System just doing the Job right after the first Boost. Additional to that some Switches in the EQ Settings if wanted and done. More is actually not possible, not with Audio Mods and not with Things like Dolby Atmos or Viper...

One very last Thing i'm working on is routing the Audio over the DAC on our Axons, and i'm not sure Yet, but it looks like that some Settings from the V30 helped Me to do that. The Output has a extremely more Power, very loud and Crisp. Really satisfied for now, just My Xperia Sounds still not like wished... Back to work!

Can it run on any device or it is device specific ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Lycidias:
You are right.. But the special Sound Profile i want for my specific headphones is only possible with Viper. Without Viper, I could not get the Sound i want :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Some specific Configs can be Device Specific, but at it is now should it at least Boot and work

As someone who has used on of these: https://www.sony.com/electronics/walkman/nw-wm1z/specifications

Can i tell u Headphone Profiles are non Sense. It just depends on the Software/Hardware Mix how good the Output is. But that's something what all the Viper and Audio Mod fans don't get. They don't even test how it compares to other Stock Devices (Like Xperia DSEE HX) or something like the Audio System i created within the Patch... Sad but true, People want just to hear what they want. All these Audio Mods on XDA are like Cancer but People are consuming it like Cigarettes... Catched by fancy Texts and Words like Beats By Dre (Outdated since around 2012 and discontinued from HTC after getting bought from Apple) or Viper Audio (Outdated around the same Time as Beats, and barely updated to force Processing on newer Android Versions. Bypassing the Enhancements Android made in the last few Years like reduced latency).

I know People hate Me for saying this, but i can't get around it since it pisses Me really off that My efforts in Audio are that much underrated while things like Viper are still Popular (Feels like People want just as many Options as Possible, without exactly knowing what they do). In Moments like this do i just want to leave XDA...

Double posted the second Time today... oh xda...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Thanks for Your reply, You really said some important Things and sounds like You know enough about it!

I just ditched the complete Audio System with the new Release alongside with AROMA. It demonstrates on a impressive Way how Important the right Configs on the Build Properties are compared to just Libs and Sound Effects. The Resampling Quality alone is worth the whole Patch since it's set to the absolutely Maximum (Depending on the Android Version and the SoC). It affects the whole System including the UI Sounds, Video Playback and of course Music Playback from any Sources like the Browser or other Apps. My Point is that i can just not believe that Viper has any benefits on top of that besides the called Headphone Profiles (Which i tested with SONY XBA-H1 some Time ago). Compared to the Noise Reduction and DSEE HX from SONY was it not really impressive. It's just really far from impacting the main Audio Quality if the Android System isn't providing the needed Optimizations from out of the Box. It's like using 300$ On-Ear Headphones on a 50$ MP3 Players somehow. I also see that most of the Viper Ports are using still the old Kitkat Libs which tells Me that not much happend on this App. It just redirects the Audio over the App which Ends in higher delays, bypassing Android System Configs and it also seems like that it has a lack of System Library Support like for AudioSphere or the main Qualcomm Audio Libs (Which means it isn't using the Hardware Potential). So yeha, would be great to get a real V4A Update with High Res. Support and more Support for System Libs, but think that will never happen (Since the real Project behind Viper is dead since Years)

I was a Viper User a lot of Years back in Time, but it happend so much on Androids Audio and V4A does just not reflect that in any Way. I think the best results are forced by a High Fidelity Android Base and the right use of Apps like Neutralizer to Adapt the Sound to Your Ears and Headphones. Normal Equalizers are doing almost the same, but like said are many Users not aware of how it works or how to set the EQ right to get the right Sound Experience. I will see how the People are thinking about the Audio Quality without the Audio System, and think about how to make the use of it more effective in the Future... The coolest thing would be to start a own Equalizer which uses all of the HW/SW Libs from Android and Qualcomm since there is no such a App out yet. But that could be something over My Skills (I can't do Apps lol).

Btw. the next Release comes soon! Hope You will still enjoy it, even without AROMA :angel:

Looks like a solid Script which disables Touch Boost. and Tweaks some other things too like LMK. It should be easy to let this run from init.d which gets applied while booting and not after it (Set on Boot Options).

The funny Thing is, i disable Touchboost too on My Personal Setup using Kernel Adiutor. My Patch Changes are giving great responsiveness which makes the Touch Boost useless at all. Thanks for sharing that great finding too! I'm sure i can work with it, and to be honest, the high media quality of the Patch eats a lot Battery. Every Power Saving Solution which isn't making Android laggy or forcing malfunctions is welcome. Feels good to get such stuff from You Folks! Keep it going :highfive:

Hi [MENTION=4756773]Miustone[/MENTION] I have found some issues:

- If I select custom gapps and in the next window I select don't uninstall nothing (Galleries, Camera apps...) and at the end of the screen I select install your gapps -> the rom camera and gallery is uninstalled.

- The custom apps like snapcamera, exkernel...are not installed.

I'm Not fully aware of all the Functions since i don't have Access to Android for Work, but i added some dependencies which allow to start Android for Work from Settings/Google. On any patched Device. Can You explain me the direct Boot/FBE ?

Thanks for Your Feedback! Battery Life will be soon better again. I removed some Scripts for now but they come Back with more and better Functions. Stay tuned !

Thanks, i' will fix the Second issues. The Missing Camera/Gallery is normal. The GApps are removing them and don't add the legacy GCam since there are some better Alternatives Out there (Modded Gcams, Open Camera) Hope thats Something You can live with...

Btw: Next Version coming this Weekend! Have a good one Folks! :cowboy:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nihalani:
Direct Boot is Google new File Based Encryption system that allows apps to encrypt certain files rather than the entire disk. This is helpful for Google Apps for Work since that means that for companies that require Encryption, which is most of them, we don't have to have the password on Boot screen. I have been looking around to see if this a hardware issue or a software one.

Here is Google's link: https://developer.android.com/training/articles/direct-boot.html

Otherwise, how can I flash it, before or after snappatch?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Just flash the new Hellsgate before flashing the Patch. Within the Patch disable the flashing of the included Kernel and done :)

I wanted to push a new Version out last Weekend, but My Surface Pro died again with the latest insider and no Backups. I was able to copy my Desktop (Patch) to a flash Drive but had to restart with a Release Version of Win10. I tell You, i hate Windows so much! Wish Google would buy that Microsoft Noobs -.-

Anyways, new Version comes this Week. Lot of fixes, overhauled Prop Patch and new Audio System included! Hope i can also find some Time for a new Website, the Thread and Changelogs...

Edit: I hate Microsoft, but also included will be the Microsoft Assist Pack Option (Cortana/Launcher), for the Windows slaved People under us...

I am on lineage 14.1 . Can I flash this ROM ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] achilles912:
That is not a ROM. It is patch for Oreo Roms

Look at Instructions:

-Wipe Data, System and Caches

-Flash Oreo AOSP (Avoid booting the System)

-Reboot Recovery (Make sure Your Device isn't charging)

-Flash Patch (Do Your thing, choose what You want but follow this here)

-Reconnect Charger (No worries, it will not burn like a Note 7)

-Reboot System (Let it charge till 100% to get the Battery Calibration)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Xzeven:
You also can't flash this Patch as it only works on Oreo (8.0+) Where as Lineage is only 7.11

I recommend you clean flash AEX Rom (Oreo) and only then flash this Patch over it.

- Some apps aren't loading (some crash in the background)

- ViPERFX Driver can't load.

- SystemUI Crashes randomly (nothing specific seems to be triggering it)

I assume its the new Kernel but I'm not a programmer (yet :3)

Is there an easy way to restore what I had before without doing a full wipe?

Can u flash https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom-aospextended-rom-v4-3-t3618950 over lineage 14.1 or do I need to take care of some other stuff like bootstack .I asked in linage thread and they mentioned that I need flash bootstack also?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Xzeven:
You'll need a new bootstack, which will make any ROM under 8.0 fail boot.

Here's a step by step:

First, back up, preferably to an external SD because you will be wiping internal. To be extra careful, I backed up and extracted the backup to PC.

If you don't have an external SD card, you can transfer your Flash files to the phone via TWRP over USB, just as you would usually transfer files via PC. So after wiping internal, connect to PC, transfer your files back onto internal SD, disconnect USB and then flash the same files.

(1) Install TWRP 3.2.1-5 (Or slightly newer TWRP 3.2.1-7 - but I haven't personally tested)

(2) Reboot and back into recovery - you should be on the new TWRP version

(3) Install an Oreo Universal Bootstack such as B32 here

(4) After flashing that, power off fully. Don't reboot.

(5) Power back on into recovery (For the new bootloader, power on then immediately press and hold volume up until in TWRP)

(6) Fully wipe every partition including internal SD.

(7) Power fully off then back into TWRP

(8a) Optional - Install a newer Radio/RIL/Modem. Lots of different choices here. For me, this one from TurkDevs worked best, though I'm in Europe and on A2017G. You may need to search for a different modem if you're elsewhere in the world or if you use a different model.

(8b) Install AEX Oreo. After install DON'T reboot, just go back into the TWRP menu.

(9) Install SnapPatch and select any relevant options in

the Aroma menu.

(10) Reboot and enjoy. (or wipe cache then reboot if you're dirty flashing).

I was about to go with a Dolby Atmos "Oreo" Port but i found out it isn't completely based on Oreo / using old Sources. I want to include a Oreo based System but the Problem is the lack of Deodexing on Oreo which makes it impossible to Port anything over to AOSP. I'm currently trying something with the Vendor Files in /system/vendor which is the obsolete Path of Vendor Handling (Not working on Devices Like the Pixels), which includes some Parts of the Audio Basics like Routing, Codecs and so on. I get a lot of Bootloops and it drives Me crazy but that's how i am. Couldn't live with Marshmallow or Nougat Ports on Oreo, i want it as good as possible...

Glad You found the Way back to Me! :)

I'm aware about the Crashes, like said is it hard to Port anything atm. hope we get that managed soon...

I tried these Days MoKee Stable 7.1.2 and it was showing the Option in English. Havent toggled it, but looks like it IS Nougat exclusive. Maybe can some ROM Devs enable it anyways, don't know that...

Great Feedback, thanks for making it that easy for Me! I think it is caused by the Kernel/Magisk Stable and/or Audio System. Could You try to clean flash it again with this Options Disabled? That would help Me a lot!

And for all again: I'm still working on the Patch. A big Part of it is the Porting and as said before is this hard to realize atm. The Patch isn't looking like i want it too and it takes some Time before i can finalize it. I'm also thinking about to give up the Porting and to barebone it without GApps, Root, Frameworks, Apps and Libs. That wasn't the Goal but when Oreo keeps being not Deodexable am i forced to change the Way i do the Patch. All or nothing!

Hope You can live with the latest Beta for now! All the Best Folks!

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dalebaxter01:
Before your reply I have done numerous attempts to get things working better although I don't want to use this and not include a customer kernel or buildprop which is the intentions of me flashing this patch.

- The SnapAudio prevents ViPERS driver from installing thinking I'd be the same without audio mods (AudioFX, Dolby port etc.)

- The kernel seemed to work fine so I'm guessing the issue was actually the buildprop as I did a flash using custom and just not having a custom build prop.( Referring to apps crashing)

- The "optimised" version of GApps crashes constantly so i did a clean flash for everything and installed GZR GApps which didn't have any issues.

- In (Snap) kernel audito frequently are locked and don't allow editing (unless it does and as I didn't do much digging to see if there's just a file I need to modify

- For some reason after flashing I noticed slot of Stock/Linage apps appear missing after reboot (Camera, Diaper, Browser, Keyboard) which makes the Google setup frustrating as Google voice as the only keyboard is terrible - I feel this is a SnapSystem issue

+ I do like how the app lets me install apps like Spotify dog food from withing the patcher

+ Really like the aroma interface and navigation although if there is a way to have this as a magisk module to make removal easy.

I have done all my testing on the A2017G model with Nfound's Bootstack and version of RR. As it's is my DD and only phone. So testing may come short and lengthy.

Other info on my system if needed is in my signature
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Is this correct?

# Is device FaceUnlock compatible
if ( ! grep -qE "Victory|herring|sun4i" /proc/cpuinfo ); then
for xml in $SYSTEM/etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.front.xml $SYSTEM/etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.xml; do
if ( awk -vRS='-->' '{ gsub(/<!--.*/,"")}1' $xml | grep -q "feature name=\"android.hardware.camera.front" ); then
faceunlock_compat=true
break
fi
faceunlock_compat=false
done
else
faceunlock_compat=true
fi

Used the default values, just changed the last compat entry from false to true...

Feeling a bit fame now :D

-Snap Audio has nothing to do with Your "Viper Problems". Magisk is forcing the System into Read Only. You can not write or change anything to the System after flashing Magisk. This is a known Magisk Problem.

-Possible that the Kernel works, but it is outdated. If there are Problems with 1.1 You will find them on the Thread. The Prop Patches CAN cause FC's. But they just doesn't happen on My A2017G

-The Snap GApps haven't any Problems either, besides the missing Faceunlock Feature i'm currently working on.

-Could You repeat the "In (Snap) kernel audito frequently are locked and don't allow editing" Part? Do You mean You can't change the Settings? Take a look under the App Settings and enable the Script Apply on Boot. It may be the same Problem as with Viper/Magisk (System Read Only)

-The Lack of APPs comes from the Snap System / Snap GApps. The GApps are Open GApps Super (Means they replace Apps) and are extended with own cleaning Entries for other/more Apps. If You want to keep apps do You need to disable the Snap System with flashing AROMA GApps after the Patch (For full freedom and Choice of GApps to install)

Have You clean flashed the ROM and the Patch? Some of the Problems sounds like You haven't followed the given Instruction from the first Page...

I Hope You will soon don't face any issues anymore. The next Version will at least fix some of the currently existing problems. And let Me ask: Where You able to flash the Apps like Spotify from within the Patch?

Me and some others faced they are not flashed after Patching and i can't figure out why. I'll guess that Data is busy while that happens, but everything else is flashing just fine which makes me wonder about this...

Well, i see there is still a lot to do. I'm currently testing some new Stuff from the XZ Premium Oreo Firmware. Hope i can soon upload a new Beta including more fixes and new Content. A Changelog is also coming (Need to keep in mind what i did atm). And now back to work :P
