Viper audio mod

Just some basic questions. First, ever since I got this working on my S4 with Wicked v7 installed, the driver status button in the menu is grayed out. When it wasn't working, I could click it. Now I can't, but it's actually adjusting the audio now though. I uninstalled the driver, rebooted, installed high quality driver, rebooted, and it's still grayed out.
Next, I've got my phone hooked into my car stereo with just one of them tapes with the cord attached into the headphone jack. Is it a good idea to flatten all the EQs , like the one on the car stereo itself, and the one in my power amp app? Start the eq process within viper first, Then tweak the others after? Or the other way around? Set up the EQs first, Then adjust viper?
Also, does anyone know how power hungry this mod is? I've got greenify on it, but while I'm using it with the high quality driver installed on my tmo S4?
Sorry if this isn't the right section. Didn't look like the questions and answers section was for apps?

Should be in Q&A forum or on the v4a app thread.
If it doesn't show as processing, then it's simply not.
Try what sounds best to you - with or without equalizer. Try different IRS.
I don't greenify this app as I want it to be actively processing whenever music plays, and I can't think of anything that would wake it up;. So without it getting manually awaken, it wouldn't get in the DSP stream. (I have the built-in DSP Manager & Google Music FX frozen). When idle, it doesn't use that much power as far as I can tell.

Thanks. Do you know if there is a beats audio irs. I saw there was one in the irs index but I can't find a dl link. Also, I downloaded a bunch of irs files, do you select them on top of all the other mods you can choose in the app? Or are irs files meant to be the only option running in the app?
Is the audio quality enhanced just by only turning the viper service on, and having nothing else checked on in the app?
Thanks

[APP][PORT][JB/KK] XPERIA Z1 Walkman + Clear Audio

Hello.
For everyone that wants an alternative for the stock Motorola Sound Effects and the Google Play Music Player. I installed this MOD made by ibanez7 and it worked in my Moto G.
REQUERIMENTS:
Backup your data
CWM or TWRP Recovery
Root
For install, follow the instructions of the original post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48165168&postcount=337).
NOTE:
Everything works, except Edit Music Info and Download Music Info, I recommend delete the file (system/app/SemcMetadataCleanup.apk) in the Walkman ZIP before flash for avoid FC's.
This MOD is incompatible with another audio MOD's, in this case the Motorola audio effects app is visible but FC's. I recommend uninstall or disable the Motorola audio effects app for avoid FC's and incompatibilities.
The Sound Enhancements Equalizer is compatible with Google Play Music Player.

Did you feel any audio improvement?

Yes, I did. I'm not a music professional, but definitely I feel that is better than the Motorola stock audio effects, specially I feel a difference in bass with Clear Bass feature.
Also I've tried with a bluetooth headphones and the effects works too, for me the improvement it's good.

This works really good!
I listen to music every day and i can hear a significant increase in sound quality when Clearaudio+ is enabled.

When used DSP Manager Radio not worked.

Do you just extract, delete the file and then compress it again?
Edit: nevermind I had a brainfart... I got it but for the Motorola audio. What is the actual name for it so I could disable it. Thanks

Just open the zip with 7-zip, navigate to (system/app/SemcMetadataCleanup.app) and delete the file, so you don't need extract and compress it again.

I have used the mod for 2 weeks (I listen to music every day) and I have not had issues or FC's. My Moto G is the XT1032 GSM Global version - 16 GB with Stock KK 4.4.2.

I think yes. As you can see in the original thread, the MOD was designed for CM10 based roms and for Stock JB/KK roms. If your custom rom is CM10 based, this mod could works. The only way of knowing is try it !! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks sounds great!

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?

there is no tips, and VIPER4ANDROID is running as SYSTEM SERVICE
not gonna show up on sound effects
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...
Feel the sound

I have installed DSP Manager from CMApps (on Google Play) a it works (i'm using Google Music).

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 Tuner

On 4.7.6 I was able to set the audio tuner on and make adjustments while streaming over Bluetooth in my truck and now on 5.0.3 it is not letting me do so. Did they remove this option or is there something that needs to be enabled that I'm missing?

Do you have Viper installed? I have the same issue as well. Although on headphones Audio Tuner works just fine.

You can use Poweramp or Equalizer+ instead. The in-built tuner is for wired output.

No viper. That's the next step I guess. I was good with the built in so I was avoiding rooting it for once.

Looks like they really borked it for bluetooth... Also, I am not a fan of that little aptX icon and notification that comes up when I connect my bluetooth headphones. I can probably force to hide it but it shouldn't be the case. The toast implementation was better.

For me the best settings are these:

Dolby Digital plus (music with all the bars at max);
Aml.
That's all.

Does AS also increase system volume for SMS and phone calls?? I use D Dolby + V4A which definitely cranks it out for music and YouTube, but system volume is still too low. Used to be great before 9.0 hit. I know there's a way by editing the .xml files, but dang, there are a lot of them! :fingers-crossed:

Ainur Sauron doesn't increase volume. It works only on quality audio. To increase system volume you only have to turn up bars in Dolby eq.

Not really. You could go to vendor/etc/audio_effects xml and edit those according to Zack, one of the V4A developers. Problem is, which ones do you edit??
