I have h811 and the title speaks for itself. Out there are 3 promising sound mods and would like to see which one of the three you have tried and or actually still use as well. XtremeMusic mod, eXtremebeats, and Project Desire mod. What noticeable differences have you noticed? Comparisons between any of the three with the current mod you are using? Please don't be recommending me viper4android for I have heard and read so much about it and tried as well. Thanks everyone

If you tried viper and came to the conclusion that you don't need it, you don't need a sound mod.

That's the thing though the sound mods give supposedly more tweaks and what not than Viper4android. I was asking for which sound mod was best to then use Viper4android on top of it
You could always try Dolby Atmos. I am running it on the Verizon variant and it works well for me. I flashed it with Flashfire.

The only way Awesome Beats would work is if one of the devs would modify it and add it to one of the custom roms.
If you try to install it normally, it will install but it will not work or not properly at all.
Good luck.

First off I'd like to say thanks for this great forum. I've used it many times over the years but just recently registered. I've never really had anything substantial to add (still don't). In the past I've had a Photon and HTC One M7, both from Sprint. I never really had the urge to mess with them at all. I recently bought a Note 4 and I decided to root it. I'm more of a computer person, building and customizing but never got into messing with phones.
With that said I'm in need of some help so I decided to register. Not sure if I have much to add at this point to become a contributing member so if anybody is hesitant to help I completely understand. I've been a noob on many other forums, and have also seen noobs come and go. So if anybody can help, that's great and I thank you ahead of time. If not, that's OK too.
I was completely torn between the new LG, an HTC One M9 and the Note 4........ I even considered the Nexus. The audio quality of the M7 that I had was and still is better than any other non-HTC phone on the market and it was really tough to convince myself to get something different. I wanted a big screen with great hardware. The Note 4 had all that except for the audio. The audio, speakers and headphone quality absolutely suck. I am terribly disappointed. I was going to see if HTC was going to release a version with a bigger display, I saw that it is a toned down version. If HTC made a 5.5-5.7" maxed out version like the smaller M9 I would have gotten it.
Now, I've rooted this phone and I've gone through all the steps of installing V4A and no matter what I do it does not function at all. The problem I see is that my phone upgraded to Lollipop. In order to properly install V4A the SELinux mode needs to be set to permissive. There was an app (I forget the name of it offhand) that could change the mode, unfortunately it is not compatible with Lollipop. Without changing the mode to permissive I cannot properly install V4A.
I've searched through this forum a couple times over and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Is there another way to change this mode? What about recommendations for one of the custom ROM's that has V4A in it? I'm really open to any suggestions. I'm really fed up with this phone telling me what volume level is enough. I use this phone for music all the time and the stock equalizer automatically cuts the volume down to the highest equalizer setting. I can hear the difference, when using Spotify if I skip to the next song the stock equalizer (SoundAlive) takes a split second to kick in and you can hear how it should sound without SoundAlive. For all this Note 4 has, I'm really starting to regret getting this over the M9. It would be a great phone if I can get some volume back as well as some decent sound quality.

You need custom kernel to set mode from enforced to permissive... or google there is away to enable V4A to work with stock kernel that involve romtool.
This phone imo is top notch in all areas but I agree with you on the audio quality, stock music player that is. I use PowerAmp and all of that changes, even through the phones tiny speaker. My suggestion is to revert to stock and simply install the app if you're just looking to improve audio quality. Just my 2 cents.

I've heard many good things about PowerAmp but as far as I know that's only applicable to downloaded songs. It doesn't work with Spotify.

Yeah that's true. Sorry
I'd suggest using the Emotion r14 kernel. That will get you permissive and a much snappier phone as well as having tweaks specific to sound. It supports Faux 123 sound on top of everything else. You should find a link to the kernel in the original android development area.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll check it out. If I can get the permissive setting I shouldn't have any issues getting V4A installed. Everything else that comes with that kernel is an added bonus.
OK, that kernel worked great! I was able to install V4A almost flawlessly. No disrespect to any of the equalizer apps out there but V4A is by far the best audio control I've used. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get this installed. That kernel did make the phone a little "snappier" as you put it. I haven't had a chance to mess with Synapse, I might just leave well enough alone as it's now working he way I want. Thanks again.
im just curious do you still have data after flashing that kernal?
Do I still have data? Not sure what you mean.
Hello to all.
Can someone help me with the tunein radio not working with viper audio?
I changed my phone to permissive, and added the 2 zips somebody uploaded that changed the build prop. But i still cannot get viper and tunein to work together. Maven Pro audio works great as does iheart with viper.
Thank you in advance.
Blessings
I'm not a subscriber of Tunein, I wish I could help ya. Does V4A work with other audio services?

According to this it's an issue with Tunein. It is a little old so not sure if there is a different issue since then, so take it for what it's worth.

Will try this out in a few hours! Thanks for bringing your mod to the s6 edge. It is awesome!
Your welcome buddy...let me know if it works ok. Thanks
Well i guess its working. 106 downloads and not one ty clicked or one response yes its working. Pretty sad. I knew there was alot of selfish people on the web but this is pathetic. One hudred and six downloads. No respect, no appreciation. .im fighting myself really hard not ro remove the links. Really hard. Change my mind people please.
So sorry for not getting back. I used all day today and it was awesome. I made calls on speaker and watched YouTube and everything was perfect. Really great mod and I will apologize for all the edge users. Can't believe no one said thank you. Pretty sad actually

My remark wasn't targeted towards you stu your a great person. It was for the other 105 people who are using this, who wouldn't even have it if it wasn't for you requesting it and supplying the stock files so i could mod them. Selfishness is part of human nature, but the level of it in this thread is enough to feed all of population in NY. I'll stop my whining now, you get the point. .lol ?
This mod had nothing to with me and everything to do with you. Your skills are crazy and you are the man for coming up with it... THANK YOU!

Right but i would not have done it if it wasn't for you. I dont have this device, therefore can't test the mod, or do i need to have it. I dont like putting things out there that i have not tested. I do this for my own devices and share it, then if anyone requests it i do it for them also. Everyone in between is just lucky. I could have easily pmed it to you and called it a day. So yea it has a lot to do with you and they should click the ty button in every one of your posts just as much as mine buddy?..Have a great week stu...

I just downloaded for my TMob S6 Edge model and about to give this a whirl. I'm a strong Viper advocate and wasn't sure if your mod will happily coexist. Will Nandroid first then get back. Much appreciate your contribution.
EDIT: Killer sound MOD. Works fine with Viper. My thanks again.....
I use it with viper also and it works great but i use the medium sound or even the stock sound if yiu use viper. The loud is a bit too much and it may cut out for some...glad u like it
Well I tried flashing in twrp, no go, the phone reboots into twrp before it flashes anything. Suggestions?
Thank you. This works great!

Not sure what that is. Its working for others so cant be the zip. Try downloading the zip again and make sure you have the newest twrp..
Well i tried it again, could it be because I'm not on a stock rom?

No it should matter. U said its failing in recovery right? Trey extracting the files in the zip and replace yours in system/etc
worked flawless on w8 canadian edge thank you sir makes it really loud
Got it working awesome!
What values were changed in the mixer_paths.xml compared to stock? And what base is the file sourced from? Latest DOI1?

Turns out I'm an idiot. Was a bit loaded on vicodin yesterday and failed to realize that this is the S6 Edge forum, not the S6 Edge+ forum.
Well, it works in that it enables the handset speaker, but in doing so it seems to disable the main (bottom) speaker. So I only have sound coming from the handset speaker. Unfortunately, reverting to stock doesn't seem to have fixed the main speaker problem...so no I have no sound lol. I'll see if I can pull the xml file out of another ROM or something.
Seems like a bad ass idea though.
Edit: Actually, this only seems to be the case with the youtube app. Everything else is working fine as far as I can tell. I'll mess with the app and see if I can figure anything out.
Edit 2: It's not the youtube app, I think maybe it's a certain protocol or something. System sounds and recorded video works fine, for example, but anything I've played from youtube only comes out of the earpiece. On Facebook, some videos play sound through both speakers, some only from the earpiece.
