[Soundmod] How to install SwanSong (Viper4Arise) on Moto G4 Plus

[Soundmod] How to install SwanSong (Viper4Arise) on Moto G4 Plus - Moto G4 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods

Please read this post in detail to know all the details about viper4arise and the great team behind A.R.I.S.E
Sound Systems™ (Auditory Research in Sound Enhancement™ ).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709
I have installed SwanSong and the sound is amazing. SwanSong have an aroma interface during the installation in TWRP and it will be easy for you to install it with all the guides inside the installer. Here are the steps I have done to install it (Thanks to @tywinlannister).
1. Install the BusyBox app and also install BusyBox inside it.
2. Set SELinux to be permissive. (This is important, but you can do it during the installation of SwanSong).
3. Download Arise Sound Systems zip from the link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=151719
(Click Aroma & look for ARISE+Deuteronomy+X.XX+Modular+AROMA+Installer.zip )
4. Reboot to TWRP and flash the downloaded file. Aroma will start and guide you through the installation process. (There will be many number of modules which will make you confused as to whether it is needed or not. Refer the below recommended setup to get the best experience).
4. Reboot to system.
5. Configure the mods.
6. Reboot again.
This is the recommended setup from the developer itself while flashing SwanSong in Aroma. (Thanks to guitardedhero).
I would recommend Core (mandatory, if not already installed), ViPER4Arise™ 2.5.0.5, Profiles, Arkamys™, ICEsound™, Skip Config and Preset, MusicFX (unless you know it's already installed, this script will leave an existing MusicFX installation intact and end, just in case), permissive (do not, if Enforcing Mode is preferred), Repair SD Card Permissions (allow up to 3-5 minutes of additional time for this script).
Don't flash deep buffer unless you absolutely need to. It's a last resort to get streaming apps to process and should never be flashed as part of your normal installation unless it's been found from flashing previous ARISE version that it's necessary on your device.
Once booted:
Android Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > Arkamys > Enable Phone Permissions
Android Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > ViPER4Arise > Enable Storage Permissions
Open ViPER4Arise™ and select Audiophile™ X profile from the Load Effect Profile option in Menu.
On displayed output tab:
Master Power > Off
Master Power > On
Menu > Device Status
Should show Enabled, Normal, and Processing: Yes (at least during audio playback for some scenarios)
If you want to select ViPER4Arise™ through a media player's Equalizer option (not necessary, recommended for users that prefer to get to ViPER4Arise™ through a media player rather than launch the app from Recents or App Drawer):
Android Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > MusicFX > Disable
Reboot for good measure.
Hope it will help for you. If anything bad happens or you want to uninstall viper, just dirty flash your rom (only wipe cache and dalvik) and everything will be good.
Please note that the selinux mode shall be set to permissive for viper4arise to work. If the selinux mode will not stick to permissive, you may need to disable inbuilt root (if there) and flash latest supersu and then everything will be fine.
There will be a lot of modules during the aroma installation which you can skip (Toolkit, Dolby Plus, Dolby Atmos etc) if it is not mentioned in the recommended setup. Its your choice. Enjoy a crystal clear sound from the great developers.
:good:
NB: I hope I have covered everything that needs to know. Sorry for my bad english and errors if any. I was always a fan of viper4android and been using it for last 3 years and viper always made the music much better to my ears. My only intention is to help others who may be confused with all those modules which will come during the installation of this massive all-in-one package.

Hey! First of all, thank you very much for this great guide. I've followed your instructions, but it seems like I'm experiencing some kind of lag when changing songs. It's like the effects needs to catch up for 1 or 2 seconds after changing songs.. I have done everything mentioned in the guide, and I'm using Spotify, by the way. Any help is appreciated

I think that your problem with lag is caused by an ondemand-governor or a governor, which set the mhz of cores too low for battery-saving features or whatever.
Which rom are you on. Are you using any battery saving tweaks (for viper with super audio quality driver, i think, need 2 cores on with 600mhz the minimum for non-stuttering sound-processing).
Either setting the governor to interactive or manually adjusting the lower CPU speeds may solve your problem.

Perfect!
My long wait to have an audio mod on stock N ends here.. Thanks for the wonderful share.

This is the latest version of viper4android. If any other sound mod is installed (including old viper), it should be removed by dirty flashing your rom and then proceed with this.

Hey again!
I'm running RR 5.8.2 [09/03 update], and no, I'm not using any type of battery-saving tweaks. With Viper4Arise disabled, I still experience the lag. Check the screenshots for the governor setting i set inside the EX Kernel Manager app. Any ideas on how to further troubleshoot/fix this?

Thanks for the screenshots. I have used viper in stock nougat and lineage oms, I haven't faced any kind of lags in these. Maybe it is specific to RR rom.
Or you can check with the viper installation; start fresh and install only core and viper4 arise(skip all other modules) and check if there is any lags. If there is still lag, you will have to switch the rom. If there is no lag, try installing the modules one by one until you find which module is causing the lag and avoid using it.

Okay, so I've done some troubleshooting for the past 30 minutes.. It seems like it is the ICEsound™ that is causing the lag for some reason. Everything else seems to work, and thank you again for your help!

Do you have busybox installed, give root permissions "always" , selinux mode set to permissive. I was on lineage OMS before and viper was working, but I didn't tried google play music. Can you try in any other player and reply back.

Sometimes, Viper stops processing after plugging in earbuds, but it will start processing after a reboot with the earbuds plugged in. Check if this is what happening to you. If still not processing, try to freeze icesound service in system apps. It can also mess up with some roms. There is a minor glitch somewhere, hopefully we will find it.

Thanks Nazim7 for this awesome guide!!
Viper screams on my phone and audio quality is improved drastically....u can feel the thump and bass!!!
Some people reported that processing was : no...I faced the same issue...What I did was plugged in earphones -- restarted phone --- make sure selinux set to permissive before restarting...
Go to viper4arise settimgs and set fx to compatible...then play song ..

[Q] Viper4android on G4?

Hi folks,
Did anyone get viper4android (XHiFi or FX) working on the G4? I tried the normal lollipop version but it screws up the camera; video recording fails within 1 second, probably due to some ALSA config or whatever (I'm no expert). I did see some closed thread (audio-engine-absolute-sound-project-t3015180"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/audio-engine-absolute-sound-project-t3015180[/URL]) on TASP where @ahrion did his best to make an all-in-one package for install on newer devices. I will see how that goes, but I'm more hoping on someone chiming in to tell me how to do it instead of reinventing the wheel so to speak...
- update -
Just tried the TASP package found elsewehere on the internet (13b version) and that seems to work, except for the permissive mode which doesn't stick to permissive. I'm running v10b (or 10c depending how you look at it) and it seems the adb su 0 setenforce 0 command doesn't work like it did on 10a?
So last step, I'm stuck on is setting SELinux to permissive... Iet's google some more

Don't you need to be rooted for viper to work? That's 1 of the main reasons I want root
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

Yes and I have root. It's definitely SELinux, setenforce 0 does the trick until reboot...

Thanks, interesting... but, what exactly am I flashing with this? Looks like a modified viper installer, but does it also take care of SELinux?

Who made this ? I want to see if there is any updates,working good for me !

I thought you couldn't permanently change SELinux to permissive on Android 5 unless you were using a custom firmware like AOSP.

You thought right.
There's an app on Fdroid called "SeLinux Mode Changer" that'll set the SeLinux state to permissive on every boot. But Google doesn't like the app, so it randomly remembers you to remove the app.

About gave up for months, then it clicked in my mind when i saw a post mention to make sure all other audio apps redirect eq to viper, and if not, change them. Even if you dont use a certain audio player app, change it too.
Problem is, i could not get the lg music app (which i never use) to change the equalizer to viper, it just had it's own default settings, so i ignored it. So i decided to revisit the lg app, and froze the app with link2sd, i also froze the lg video app too, just in case. Rebooted and now viper sees NEON and i can even run without compatibility mode (which did not work consistantly for me) .
I tried all steps to get this to work, not sure what other things are needed for everyone else, but i tried moving viper to system, installed selinuxmodechanger, maybe this can be uninstalled now, i have no idea. I have no plans to fix what isnt broken and find out myself, so just try freezing lg music app for starters.
Hope it works for you, if so, let the community know what steps you had to do!

Any chance you have a link to download TASP 13B? I absolutely cannot find it on the official dev page. Maybe I am blind.

I've sent you a PM with the link

Enable Init.d on your rom and put a script with the following lines in it in the /etc/init.d folder.
#!/system/bin/sh
setenforce 0;
That should set SELinux to permissive at runtime.

Hi - thanks for your tip, but I've moved on to the V10 and then to the OP3 since then

Installing V4A or other audio mods

Hello everybody. I have Magisk and couldn't install Viper module, neither the usual viper .zip via TWRP.
Have you been able to install any of the available audio mods on your Z2 Play?

I too am interested.
I prefer the Atmos version, ViPERAtmos 4.8 Sony Beats Universal Edition, but I don't think it's compatible with Nougat.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I installed ARiSE sound system in my z2 play, which contains Viper and Dolby Atmos

I have a module called viper 4arise installed and its working very well

Thanks!

Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709 install the last stable version

Thanks! I've looked at ARISE a few times, but it seems life meant steps to install. I guess I'm going to have to bear it.
Does it sound as good at Atmos?

I manage to install it. It's overall pretty simple. You can extract the installation .prop file to /emulated/0 and edit it there to get a 1 cycle install. Otherwise your first try will do just that and return an error (so you'll have to edit the file anyways).
I tried all versions of viper there but none worked (all showed abnormal status) also, remember to mark for installation the Magisk compatibility.
I'm using Atmos, working very nicely, but still wish Viper had worked...

That's weird, I have Viper and atmos working in my device. Previously I set SElinux permissive and installed Busybox

Oh that must be it. I have it on enforcing. Will test with permissive then. Thanks!

Well, it worked! AriSE with SELinux mode changer set to permissive.
Thanks a lot!
With Dolby and viper our speakers sound WAY better! Headphones are even more awesome!

[MOD] DOLBY ATMOS for OREO (8.0/8.1) [SHARE]

Not my work, just sharing this awesome work.
Here is the link for the official Dolby Oreo port -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4365169&d=1513721346
Just flash it in TWRP 3.2.1.0
*MAGISK REQUIRED
Tested working on AEX 5.1
It significantly improved audio quality and loudness.
Original post link -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74943166&postcount=31837
UNINSTALLATION-
Simply remove the module from Magisk Manager and reboot.
Just a tip to manually increase volume -
1. Go to *root* > vendor > etc
2. Open mixer_paths_tasha.xml in editor.
3. To increase speaker volume -
Find "RX7 DIGITAL VOLUME" and change it's value from 84 to 87
For headphones volume -
Find HPHL and HPHR and change their values from 12 to 15.
4. Reboot device.
Just hit the thanks button if it helps.

Yes working on pixel experience rom 8.1.0

Dolby is working but Viper is not working..Getting I/O error any solutions?

Is there any uninstaller for this if by chance the phone goes into bootloop?

Super mod but sound is bit low

Not yet. Try clearing cache/dalvik or dirty flashing the ROM. But this mod won't get any ROM into bootloop.

Sound output through headphones seem a bit increased but yes, through speaker it's still a bit low. Guess we have to wait devs to increase the volume in their respective Oreo ROMs first.

Works Good. I'm on AOSP Extended Oreo 8.1 beta (26/12/2017 build) and I can observe significantly better sounds while watching videos (in MX player) through Phone's speaker.
Thanks for sharing.?

You only need to uninstall magisk completely and re-install it. No need to uninstall all the modules. Magisk will start working again along with the modules.

From the build prop file I sent value "true" for core installation and viper arise 2.5... then I installed viper4android from magisk (the material one v2.5) and after reboot uninstalled the one marked in the screenshot.
I loaded the profile by copying to the viper folder after extraction. But I don't find any controls working from the viper app Whatever switch I on or off... No difference noticed.)

Did I do anything wrong in my steps? Can I please get help.

I flash the arise version as you mentioned in OP i always follow instructions but when i tried to flash Arise version installation failed. I installed viper from magisk and loaded up your profiles, well sound is good now especially the bass and surround sound better than Dolby for oreo and nougat for vince, loving it now but as you mentioned Arise version is better than the normal one waiting for all in one file as i tried thirce and all times installtion aborted in latest twrp treble. And i kept all files in the same folder after extracting the folder which contains profile and kernel.

From the build prop file I sent value "true" for core installation and viper arise 2.5... then I installed viper4android from magisk (the material one v2.5) and after reboot uninstalled the one marked in the screenshot.
I loaded the profile by copying to the viper folder after extraction. But I don't find any controls working from the viper app Whatever switch I on or off... No difference noticed.)
(I am using Cr Droid 5.0, I have uninstalled the default Audio fx equalizer)
Did I do anything wrong in my steps? Can I please get help.

You should install the arise viper zip first. Then the viper version from magisk download section.
If you did that check also if storage permission for viper app.
Load the profile again and test it (gain volume in output options)

Thanks for the feedback.
Did you copy the file arise customize prop file from zip file into the main storage folder?
Why did you not use orangefox project as recovery?
Profile and kernel folder should be in the viper4android folder.
Gonna work on the all in one file have to test some things.
Gonna optimize the profile also.

CLEAN PIXEL UI + Better Performance,Battery,Audio and Camera!

Hi everyone
This is the best guide in order to get the best possible smoothest experience on the asus rog phone 2 . Let's get started with the basic.
-SOFTWARE: The most stable and smoothest software is always the first rom that the rog phone 2 had. Android 9. i have tested android 10 betas and stable, also custom ROMs but if you want consistent performance, less i/o lags,less heat,stable games fps and better apps compatibility i reccomend the latest version of android 9 WW. Link below:
https://mega.nz/#!spBlACjC!S1UcaxBmnL_e3GGeoBL1ebWJPbSyPQBZESFdxbakuGc
-GCAM: Well, there is also available a ported version of GCAM . You can shoot amazing photos and make very good videos at 60fps with amazing stabilization. The latest stable version for android 9 is linked below. i don't reccomend any configs. To make Gcam work, enable and disable monochrome.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog812/
-IMPROVE BATTERY LIFE AND PERFORMANCE: Use dark theme for all Google apps that support it since oled panels are battery friendly. Lower screen brightness and screen timeout; lower refresh rate and use inbuilt power saver mode when battery is low( this may limit cpu power and disable some data/gps connections on standby). Use Amoled wallpaper and reading mode when needed. OptiFlex is an inbuilt feature to improve app launch speed( it use ram cache like a similar oneplus feature ): i reccomend to leave this feature in auto mode. X MODE will set all cpu clusters to 1200/1300 mhz all time. I reccomend to use only for some gpu intensive games, not for daily use because it will drain the battery quicker. DON'T USE CUSTOM KERNELS since stability, random reboots or cpu frequencies locked can occur on A9.
-GOOGLE SANS AND WALLPAPERS: Get the pure google font , simple install this apk and under setting, display font select this amazing font. If you want pure stock android 9 wallpapers, download them from the link below:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4854501&d=1571922365
-DEBLOAT AND STOP SERVICES: Remove useless apps that can be removed like asphalt, asus data transfer and netflix. Disable and stop all apps you don't need like some Google apps to save RAM... If you can't disable some system apps, hide from the launcher to get cleaner interface. Keep apps updated to get best stability.
-CLEANER AUDIO, BETTER BASSES: Use the inbuilt DTS and set this profile. From the graph set this order by lowering the second and the third: 0,-10,-5,0,0,0. Virtual basses and highs below leave them to 0. This is the best profile to get best sound quality and basses. DON'T USE any other audio mods because they will distort the sound and break basses. When you are out, use the outdoor mode( this will set highs to maximum).
audio mono SET TO ON : this will improve fullness and basses at cost of less voice clarity and stereo separation but will sound better
-GLTOOLS FOR GAMERS: This application is an amazing graphic optimizer tool and it's able to improve games framerate, msaa filters, resolution, textures, rendering and emulate old games or newer/older GPU's to make games run on unsupported android versions or simple run better. It's a future proof game tool and it's compatible only with android 9 or earlier. Another big reason to stay on android 9. The combination of gltools and armory crate is just pure gold for gamers. Link below:
https://it.apkhere.com/app/com.n0n3m4.gltools
-CLEAN INSTALLATION OF STOCK ROM,ROOT AND KERNEL: First of all, remove all google accounts, password,PIN and fingerprints. Boot (recovery: format data and wipe Now reboot to bootloader Flash raw android 9 firmware. after make a wipe data/factory reset. Now you can configure your phone and when you are on the homescreen ( if you want root) reboot to bootloader, boot to tpwr( without installing, it's not needed) and install latest MAGISK. Reboot. To flash custom kernel, boot again to tpwr from bootloader, flash kernel and reboot. DON'T WIPE DALVIK CACHE WHEN INSTALLING ROOT or KERNEL because there are performance issues especcially on some apps.
-USEFUL TIPS FOR DAILY USAGE AND LIFE SPAN:
- Use immersive mode to avoid burn in on status/navigation bar and use asus gestures
- Set display timer to 15/30 seconds and auto brightness on to avoid burn in and save battery. change wallpaper regularly and apps position.
-for display color tuning, i reccomend to set to custom and only increase to +1 the saturation to get best movie and game experience( sometimes it reset after a reboot or flashing kernel/modules).
- disable boot up sounds and vibrations to save power. lower the power of 2 strong vibrators.
- smoothest browser you can use: VIA BROWSER or Google go.
- use some useful quick toggles like night light to help your eyes during the night, hz toggle so you can switch to 60hz immediately when battery is low, reading mode...
- don't charge your phone always to 100%. Mobile manager will help your battery lifespan. Guarante the access to it from the settings.
-use less possible magisk modules, only necessary.
well, now you have the cleanest possible experience that makes your phone runs better, smoother than ever!:good::good:

Updated:good:

tip for audio:
if you play a lot of pubg, or games where you need to hear surroundings around you, install dolby atmos from this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81911451&postcount=4575
root and magisk is needed but it works fantastically.
also you can install riru xposed in magisk and gravity box module for xposed to tweak your software further.

Ou, it would be amazing! But I did not see anything. I think I'm not returning to the buttons system navigation... Gestures are an almost perfect experience: A10 works pretty well for me (even though A9 is even some better, that's true!)

That audio mod u said is for magisk, so install that zip file via magisk? I tried it, it installed, rebooted device, but when i start again magisk, i don't see anything installed on Magisk Manager in Modules section... Am i doing something wrong?
