Hi everyone now that i also own an Xperia x i have found that it has a lot of features either missing or turned off when compared to my Z2! The first thing i noticed was that 4K was not even showing up! I have modified the supervideo app and it now works perfectly so i will share it with you, i will share more as i go along.
Instructions: (must be rooted)!
Download at bottom of post.
1. Download the zip.
2. Extract the apk.
3. Copy the app to sdcard.
4. Adb push or manually copy to /system/priv-app/SuperVideoCamera-xxhdpi-release either backup or over write your original.
5. Set permissions to 0644 rw-r-r- and owner/group to 0 - root.
6. Backup or delete the odex file if it exists (oat/arm64)
7. Reboot
If it goes wrong then enjoy the responsibility of your actions, if it works for you then 'happy days'.

what did you change in the sources?
I just changed the bools to match how it is called from within the smali.
f5122 can use it?
Doesn't work at 7.1.1 concept. It records with very dark and inverted colors, videos are stuttering.
Try port it to 7.x.x

I have been trying desperately to get this working on Android 7.1.1 but given the symptoms experienced I think it is being blocked from full access to the camera modules by drm, I don't think the old drm fix works properly on this fw version as the credmgr tables are empty! There is a new drm fix in the xz forum so I am hoping that can be ported over to our devices as I am sure that drm is the problem here.

No, you need to replace the stock mixer with the modified one; so root/twrp is mandatory!

Thanks for the patch but as you said that this requires to root the device.
If don't need to root it. Can we unzip tbe ozip software and modify it again with this patch and flash it normally using the realme bootloader or this will not work!
i did it and rebooted , i tried covering main speaker still the same
I made the Magisk module because according to the instructions above, it was only possible to do up to Android 9, nothing works, the sound disappears completely

Most of convolvers are outdated, the best you can do is to go on the viper4android telegram channel, contact Thomas de Witt and pay 4 euro for a personal convolver for your headphone. Or you can do it yourself but it requires some solide knowledge. There are too convolvers from stormviper, a modded viper4android but the creator is a little strange and you have to ask them personally and do a "review" for the creator to get the last convolvers (testing purpose I guess). They have a telegram channel too. You can still find pack on Google but it's old. Sorry for my English !

Those irs files are overrated, I personally like the same settings on all of my headphones. I like moderate gain, set to inf, I love level 3 surround sound, dynamic system high end v1 at 20 percent for bass, clarity 12db or 14.8db it depends. That's my perfect settings for Bluetooth, headphones don't require so much gain. You can also search Google fiio fh5 github or IRS file and it used to find the github for those headphones I can't seem to get it anymore. There honestly nothing special they make headphones sound worse really

Global IRC, indeed, but the creator of viper4android can create a custom one based on your specific headphone and just for your headphone. Therefore, the quality is a another world from basic irs. The one you find free today are old and so, they make more bad than any good.
I don't believe the version I'm running from the thread in link above has Surround, Headphones and Bluetooth options.

The creator of viper doesn't do anything anymore. The team Dewitt isn't the creator he's just using the open source code for the Normal driver because the viper creator won't allow him access to super quality driver from 2.3.4 my choice. No those custom IRS files are junk I have the fiio fh5 iem and the IRS files they made it makes my headphones sound wimpy. Trust me find the settings you like on viper and a good pair of headphones like my personal favorites are Master and dynamics MW08 Bluetooth.

I tried to install it but I have a I/o error, from what I read I have to change the name of a file inside vendor/etc but I can't because of permission, could you tell me how did you do that ? Thx !
I installed everything over magisk.
First Ainur Narsil and Audio modification library then reboot. After that viper then open viper and install the driver. The device will reboot. In magisk deactivate both Ainur and AML then open viper again. Driver should reinstall again. After reboot it should work. Could be that you have to enforce in settings. In a link above there is this method mentioned.

It's going to seem like a lot of work but it's not. Your just going to download magisk files. First thing first you have root and I'm hoping your willing to switch your kernel to permissive mode? You can either do that with permissive v2 magisk module or selinux app. You need to have busybox from magisk installed.
Download 2.3.4 apk
1 switch selinux to permissive
2. Install BusyBox from magisk
Than reboot first
3. Install viper4android v4.4 on magisk manager use volume buttons to pick 2.3.4 install as a user app and if show recommended audio fix hit yes.
Reboot the device and see install the apk 2.3.4 and it should have the driver already installed.
If that doesn't work than you add James dsp magisk module new verison on magisk manager
Than flash audio modification file v4.0 after that
If you reboot again and reinstall the app and hopefully the driver will stick if it doesn't flash 4.4 zip again and reboot and install the apk.
You have to always reinstall the apk because the viper zip uninstalls it and it doesn't ever add it back likes supposed to but the driver stays installed and when you install the app shouldn't be no errors. You will need to grant storage permission for viper4android app.
It seems like a lot but it's really not and once it's installed properly it never uninstalls.
James dsp allows viper to play on phones for some reason but you can turn it off and just use viper that's what I do

Nevermind, I thought I had to install Jamesdsp "verison", like a special Jamesdsp lol, everything work great right now!!! I really thank you for your time, really ! But just one last question subsiste, how I'm sure it's the super quality driver that is installed and not high quality or energy saving?

Always, much better than Dolby, AudioFX and others that I tested.
The "codecs" most important is DDC/Kernel (.vdc and .irs).
When I install them in 2019 liked ClearPlus HD.irs and V4ARISE.vdc.
It's a little hard to set up (Viper and set presets) but when you learn is easy do the same for all headphones.
Maybe it could help.
I recommend you remove that older process installation because you don't need to change SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive (insecure).
In Magisk
1. Install Audio Compatibility Patch (v2.3)
2. Options: Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, Yes, Reset.
3. Install Audio Modification Library (v4.0), reboot.
4. Instalar Viper4Android FX Legacy v4.4 (v2.5.0.4)
5. Options: Vol +, Vol-, Vol-, Vol +, Reset.
6. Install the JamesDSP module.
7. Disable any native system / ROM equalizer.
Install Viper4Android FX app (v2.6.0.6, Jan/2019) via github or backup
Option: find out him here or Magisk folder (use any root explorer for that).
Path: /data/adb/Modules/Viper (old app)
For newest V4A app use search or Rose.
Choose driver 2.5.0.4, install, restart.
So open the player.
Open Viper4Android FX app, try to apply some profile. Close and open the app if necessary.
Your Headphone need to be plugged.
NOTE: Don't forget to disable other features sound installed on your ROM like stock equalizer (AudioFX, Dolby and other).
To work correctly the Driver Status screen must be:
Driver Version: 2.5.0.4
NEON Enable: Yes
Enable: Yes
Status: Normal
Audio Format: Supported
Processing: Yes
Sampling Rate: 48000
NOTE2: The Viper4Android folder saves the profiles in the root of the internal memory and they need to be replaced in case of Internal Storage was formatted.
I upload the files (older .apk and DDCs/Kernel) on my Mega
18.21 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
There is some perfis that I did for my headphones (JBL, Xiaomi, Bluedio, Phillips and KZ). You can try them and use it as based to fix all what you need.
Change it to others device you will need just set "Master Gate (limiter)" to 0dB on Alioth.
All them was set for Gemini (this need to be Output Gain -8.0 db).
NOTE3: I prefer the older version and older design. Just the older design app works with the folder "Profile" on .zip without any conversion files.
The new layout migrates the folder "Profile" to "Preset" on new material design. This is not compatible.
NOTE4: Maybe just AML + FX Legacy or 2.7 + JamesDSP is enough. You can remove James app after installed his Module.

You can convert all profile to new format with a magisk module. But here, I'm more interested in the old version 2.3.4.0 with the super driver, discontinued in the new versions

Does't work and duplicate profiles (older profiles, if you don't migrate will works idem).
As I said, I tested both and the most stable is Driver Version: 2.5.0.4 and Viper4Android FX app v2.6.0.6.
Doing it correct, you can allow quality more than 200% compared without it.
