Audio mods- what's everybody using? - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

So one of my biggest factors in choosing a phone used to be the ability to mod audio.
After having a S8 and no root i found solutions for the lack volume and vibrant sound through non root solutions. Such as eq apps that actually do a great job at boosting volume, and using quality head phones.
With SU now supported i would like to hear what others are doing. I saw the majisk update to 14.2 but my majisk knowledge is lacking so I was waiting till someone posted more about the support on our device.
I'm on tmob variant btw.
I am using a app called equalizer Fx and freezing the built in eq with TB
Before are screens of my setup for the audio eq that really boost headphone volume quite a bit.
Thanks

I was gonna try v4a but the driver won't install. Do I need magisk for that? I rooted with cfar

I know there are quite a few magisk modules for audio including Viper audio. I think we need magisk or a recovery for Viper. You could try removing deep buffering in the mixer path.xml system/etc but i don't think that will help. I think we need more to get it working. Thanks for coming in though

Viper4Android is system wide audio FX, it is always on when you tick the "ENABLE OPTION" on the Viper4Android Apps..
just try it to enable and disable to hear it
Installed Viper, drivers etc but no difference. Same as before. Viper doesn't love me definetelly
Do you have to be root to install Viper? The text in Play Store is in some kind of Asian...

Sorry to hijack this thread but I think most other users are having same questions probably and my question is related to DSP . I can't seem to find the ViPer4Android in the Sound effects menu after it's installed. I installed the driver and enabled it in the apps (reboot), but still can't find it under Settings > Sounds > Sound effects. How do you get it to show up?

Viper is ON if you click the apps and Turn it On...
make sure you use the "moderate" UI Settings on Viper4Android.
try to use headset and turn it on on Viper
play music
and play around with Viper4Android settings...

Just fyi, you only have it showing up in Sound Effects settings if you have installed another DSP software - same behaviour as for the launcher. LG G3 has no internal DSP, just the one included in the music player, thus you cannot switch between v4a and this one.
To install v4a, I just downloaded the zip (you can find the link on the official download page), extracted the appropriate apk and installed it with a file explorer.
Only issue I've met so far is random volume decrease, and I haven't been able to figure out where that's coming from yet (install as a system app didn't solve it).
I use a different music player, so I don't know if the LG player works well with v4a and if the included dsp disables it when activated.
Hope it helps a little.

ok, thanks! I'll give it a try again and hopefully it will work better. I do have WinAmp with EQ enabled, I have read somewhere which you need to disable the WinAmp EQ for this to work, that may the the issue.

Audio Mod OP3 - Where is it?

Can anyone help me out.
Can't find the audio mod for OxygenOS.
Viper or Dolby atmos. One that's good for headphones.
Cheers
Try divine beats by the royal seeker.
I use it.
Or use Neutron player or black player EX apps they have good audio processing...!
Divine beats and Viper4Android (ViPER4Android_FX_v2401_A4.x-A6.x.apk) does not work on OnePlus 3 yet. V4A drivers can be installed but will not initialize (OxygenOS v3.2.4)
My Collective Dolby Atmos ports works for OP3. I think the only one that doesn't is the Axon 7 Atmos port.
Just because they aren't in this forum doesn't mean they don't work. Check the Software Development forums.
As for installing V4A and driver, the above poster is wrong. It works. Unfortunately OnePlus released a bugged Vendor audio_effects.conf file so installing V4A won't work out of the box. You need to go to System/etc/audio_effects.conf and copy it to Vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf and replace. When you do this you can install simple stuff like Dolby Atmos or V4A without having to install Arise to get good audio.

Hey, are you talking **** right now?
I have tried it with V4A, replaced the audio_effect.conf as you mentioned, but the issue is the same. There is no app which is capable of utilizing V4A as MusicFX plugin on OP3 currently (OxygenOS v3.2.6), actually the stock MusixFX shows up if you are calling MusixFX from PowerAmp or SoundWire (or other musicfx compatible app). Even tried compatible mode in V4A (with restart), got the same result. Normally V4A would replace native MusicFX, this is clearly not the case. So yeah, I can install it, but cannot use it. No step forward was made.
I have used the latest available V4A version.
Can you elaborate how did you actually made it?
Please provide exact versions and clear steps, also sources for downloads, so anyone could reproduce what you have acheived.

I've already said how to do it. Sources? Well I develop for Android and reverse engineer Android. I also happen to own this phone as my daily driver and also an HTC9/HTC10 among other devices.
Try with another player. Saying "it doesn't work" tells nobody anything that's useful. Give logs and info, not just vague "doesn't work". To my knowledge, Poweramp doesn't play well with other DSPs. Try another app for testing.
I've had the OP3 since it came out. Firstly, you need to completely disable MusicFX and make sure the "on" isn't checked. Secondly, V4A works with the method I had suggested and so does LeMax Atmos, Axon 7 Atmos does not work on OOS.
OP3 is my daily driver. You either take my expert advice or don't, but I hardly can call that"talking ****".

One of my conclusions were to set SElinux to permissive with the following command: 'setenforce permissive' using tasker at boot, and viola

Sound Quality on Nougat Based ROMs

Hi Everyone,
Is it just me or the sound quality after updating to Nougat has really gone down (that we need upgrades like A.R.I.S.E or Divine beats?). Earlier I noticed that we used to have a simple mod for any sound i.e. Viper4Android, which is still MOTHER OF ALL SOUND MODs for me .
I noticed that the audio playback is having VERY MUFFLED bass through my home theatre system over the same bluetooth connection while playing with MM ROM. I tried rolling back to MM and things work perfectly. I wish to stay on Nougat for obvious advantages of the newer UI, better battery & performance but would still like to see if anyone can port the lib from MM to N?
I don't essentially want to install ARISE or Divine Beats; for me Viper4Android is just fine and I would love if it works just the way it used to on MM.
PS: I bought my home theatre after tweaking Viper v2.5.0.5 on MM and the same is not working after updating to N.... any help is appreciated.

The sound libraries have DEFINITELY changed in the system which are truly worse than Marshmallow!
I certainly need someone's help in getting them Ported back or else I have no other option other than rolling back to MM (since I spend 4-5 hrs/day on music). :crying:

Viper4Android and Divine beats/A.R.I.S.E are completely different. Divine beats and arise change your music first without you going into the app to change things. When I installed freedomOS with Divine beats, I notice my bass was extremely overpowered and everything just sounded like crap.... I really don't understand people's music choices sometimes. All these sound mods just make the phone sound like crap, especially since the OP3 already has a much warmer profile, meaning the bass and highs are very pronounced from the box

Exactly my point.
Even though the sound out of box was very good, using Viper4Android would take it to the next level. But Divine/A.R.I.S.E fiddle too much and extort the audio.
Marshmallow sound libraries were literally awesome and V4A on top of it would just make it mind blowing. Don't know how to get that same experience without going back from Nougat. :'(

Well you can install freedomOS without the Divine beats and what not, install Blu_spark kernel and set it to SElinux to permissive. Then you can install Viper4Android on its own and you'll have some nice audio.

I strongly recommend against this. Just install Magisk or use something that comes with Magisk preinstalled and install the Viper4Android from the Magisk repo / Magisk module. There is also one for Dolby Atmos. That way you don't have to mess with SELinux or modify system files.
Nah...Didn't go well.
Still the same sound quality. Muffled and garbled.
I have the EXACT same issue. I can't believe OnePlus went ahead and did this. Who do I tell?
I have great sound...experienceos + viper4arise with magisk. Install permissive script for magisk to avoid overheating issues. Dont tinker to much in viper . This is my speaker setting its loud and very clear. I love it.

I beg to differ from your opinion here though.
After trying out 4 different Nougat based ROMs and 4 different Marshmallow based ROMs (yeah....took a lot of time with clean installation and stuff), I easily infer that OP3 Nougat ROMs have REALLY POOR sound libraries. Viper4Android alone works well with Marshmallow based ROMs (and using it with A.R.I.S.E/Divine Beats/etc. makes it even better) and bass doesn't distort at all (saved a few Viper Profiles and re-used them between ROMs). But the same profile in Viper on Nougat sounds just CRAP!!
Don't know what the solution here. Just wish there was some way to find out what is it that is causing this to happen? Which part of sound library or which file? Can anyone help?

Headphone Output Volume

Hi guys, recently I noticed that the headphone jack output isn't as loud it used to be in the OOS 3.X days.
For example, setting my OnePlus X aside and comparing the two, I would much rather prefer the louder, more aggressive tones it produces compared to the OP3.
Does anyone know what I could do to work around this? I have the bluspark kernel currently. I flashed francokernel to use gain control and was running into stability issues and bootloops before i could even get to it.
I'm currently on OB14 and my daily driver IEMs are the Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HDs.
Thanks.
Use ARISE Sound mod + V4A. These work great. Also these are included in popular roms like FreedomOS & ExperienceOS.
Hope this helps.

Do one thing flash FreedomOS and in aroma select Arkamysa and Viper 2.5 (or whichever is latest), do not select anything else in Audio Mods. It will work for sure.

Get Viper4Android, do not get any audio mods that come with ROMs if you really do care about audio quality. All these different audio mods make music sound like absolute trash and remove a lot of clarity. Viper4Android doesn't change the sound if you don't want it too and you can go to the last option and boost the gain by I think 10db... That is plenty enough to bring it back to the loudness you like (probably way higher) while not deteriorating the sound much.

Is it possible to delete/completely deactivate Dolby Atmos?

Hello, I bought the OP 7T a few months ago and since the first moment that I used my headphones with it I hated Dolby Atmos, it's not the first time that I have it and hate it, But now it's in my daily driver and I can't hear music anymore with it, it sounds extremely low in comparison with my previous phone (Xiaomi mi 6), so I want to delete or deactivate Dolby Atmos and be able to use the Android's stock Equalizer. I really need to find a way to do it or I'll start looking for another phone without it...
I was able to do it when connected to bluetooth but now when just on speaker. I've not tried on headphones. Is the option for None just not there when on headphones?
Man,
Dolby atmos is a beast. It’s my dream to use it since i used it in htc one long time ago. Howeveri Don't know whats your problem with sound(it never happened to me). Incase of increasing the sound you should use poweramp.Although It's paid but i have to say, it's Worth it for just a couple of bucks and use it lifetim.

I've tried poweramp but it barely makes a difference, i'm not kidding when I say that the volumen it's not even the half of what it was with my other phone, and the headphones aren't the issue, but since I used Dolby Atmos in my Yogabook I noticed that the volume was lower in headphones and external speakers

There's no android stock equalizer. We have Dolby. That's it. Read through that thread.
