I wanted to start a thread for must have apps for the rooted Note 4. Please feel free to contribute some information and advice on great apps that root users would love. If you have any questions about these apps below, feel free to ask.
My Must Haves consist of:
/System/app mover - Used to convert user apps to system apps
AdAway - Remove those pesky ads from apps and the interwebs
ROM Tolobox - I have the Pro version. Great multi-function tool (Ron installer, App Manager, Root Browser, Apps2SD and more)
SD Maid - I have the Pro version. Has App controls, Corpsefinder, System Cleaner, App Cleaner, Duplicate finder and more
Titanium Backup - Great for backups and restores. I use this a lot when I flash new roms
System App Remover - remove that bloatware that you just don't want
Wanam XPosed - Do I need to explain how awesome this is? This is the best app for root users
XPosed - Framework that will enable you to customize your phone, whether it be minor tweaks or all out customization
Root explorer and viper4android are always the first two apps I install
Ahh yes viper is included in dynamic Rom. So didn't think about it.
Ttorrent... Very important... Lol... (it does not require root, but you need root in order to have it saving file directly to your SD Card...)
when installing Viper4android, which one do we download? The 4.x one?
And also, which CPU do we select from within the app?
Here's what my Ron comes with
I don't use ttorrent. I have an ftp server in my rack.
Mine are
root explorer or es, like both
my backup pro
Titanium backup
clean master
start up manager
Here is my set up
Rom toolbox (great app for editing)
Wake lock detectors
Faux clock
DVFS disabler
Unicorn icon themer (have custom icon pack on TW)
Titanium backup

Maybe that's why my HTC one had terrible battery. The rom came cooked with Viper.
I'm not a big music guy and I think its fine just the way it is. I'll leave it be for now
I've never experienced increased battery drain while using Viper. When setting it up, there are 3 options to choose from. The highest audio quality setting does mention that it may cause battery drain. I always choose the middle option.

I try it out for the bass. It was just alright. It make a little difference on my car stereo. I just crank up the bass in my car.
Viper need some coding if you want to do it for your ROM unless its bake in.
I am not going to miss it, so I will not use Viper.
Hello fellow XDAers, I was wanting to know if anyone knows where to get good quality .irs files for use with VIPER4Android? I have downloaded some from the internet, but don't see much change in the quality of the sound. Some do and some don't. If anyone has advice on where to find good quality .irs files and don't mind sharing please do so, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
?If someone helps you, plz thank them?
If u tried some and u didn't notice a difference.. chances are it may not be processing .. did u check the driver status to see if it said yes of no on processing .. I know I have been using the default music player with v4a and it is flaky.. only sometimes randomly working .. I'm still looking for a good simple player that will work 100 percent with v4a..

I'm not saying that all of them don't work I downloaded a bunch. Some of them work and I can really tell a difference just not exactly the sound I'm looking for. But there are many that I cannot even hear the difference. I know the setup is good everything is processing and running as it should.
As for you I use Poweramp and I always have. It works really well with V4A. They have some really awesome themes to go with it. I do have the paid version though
.
?If someone helps you, plz thank them?
well I just recently discovered that after I installed v4a.. I went to the priv-app folder.. found the sound alive folder.. I removed it.. essentially forcing v4a to be used by default.. now if works flawlessly with the Samsung player ( which I kinda like) and Google music.. I assume by not giving Android an option on what dsp to use. it has to use viper. but I am an novice and mostly tinker ... break and fix things to learn ..lol

I looked at a G6 on display and I love it. Only thing that troubles me is I can't find the global equalizer and sound settings like the Galaxy S7 has. Is there not a eq that works for everything? That's one thing i hated about my iphone when I had it was listening to pandora or spotify with no eq. flat and boring. I know there's 3rd party Eq's but they're not reliable. For example i put one on my Nexus 7 and now it doesn't work. It shows it's on but it does nothing. the sound sucks. When I had One M7 I had the same problem. the 3rd party EQ apps would only work half the time.
So does the G6 have a global EQ?
wait for root > install viper 4 android > profit

Does that require rooting my phone? I don't know how to root the phone and on Verizon the bootloaders are always locked last I heard. I'm not comfortable with rooting plus when Verizon does tech support they connect to the phone remotely and check the settings and I'm afraid they would see the root and void my warranty.
No root, just install musicfx.apk and the EQ settings will show in Google music settings.

I was confused because it says: "In order to install it as a system app, you'll need a root-capable file manager, like ES File Explorer, which is what I use."
It needs root coz you need to install it as a system file. No root yet achieved for g6.

I can't get it to work. I even tried to copy it in the system folder but it said something like I don't have write access. What do I do now for a global eq?

Just install the apk like any other app and thats it, the eq options will appear in spotify, google music, etc... mine is working fine and with eq settings+highfi dac is amazing

Working pretty well to me, but only on Google Music and Spotify, I cannot use it on the default music app, but this has his own eq BTW.
Enough to me by now... Hope we'd be able to be root on the H870DS soon....
Hello again...
Just my two cents...
The musicfx.apk on the link before doesn't work well. You cannot make a custom equalization. But if you use the musicfx.apk from the OP5 thread It will work pretty well...
Here is the link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/app-snapdragon-music-fx-caf-t3638473
Anyway, I've ported to Equalizer FX, because it has a better performance for me... You can check it if you want...

Equalizer Fx works great in my Huawei 8, without Premium plug-in, thanks man !
From what I have read, it looks like root might not be required for the Dolby Atmos software. I really like that EQ. I have a T-Mobile S8+ with locked bootloader, so I am hoping there is a way to install the Dolby software without root. If anyone knows if this is possible, instructions and a link to the latest version would be appreciated, as there are a lot of different versions floating around.
any updates for Dolby atmos on any android no root required?
I had it installed in my Galaxy S8 T-mobile but it makes no difference. In fact, it only gives it s deep base but not a loud sound.
This is how it works :
Once installed, just open Samsung music or Google music and a pop up window will show up saying that dolby atmos is running in the background. I tried it but didn't like it. You can try and maybe works for you. Here is the app.
Works... sort of

Installed on my Galaxy S8 SM-G950FD there's no way to configure it though cause the equalizer option still only brings up Samsung Sound Alive. Is there a way of getting rid of sound alive without root? I tried package disabler pro and BK package disabler and neither of them seemed to get control over my phone even though I gave it my Samsung Enterprice Licence key. Really dunno what to do. Had it on my old rooted Galaxy A5 and I loved it, but don't wanna woid my warranty on this thing... at least not now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would this work to remove the sound alive side of things? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/how-to-remove-oem-bloatware-s8-s8-t3654687
Any updates on this? The built in Samsung EQ is complete garbage. The Dolby EQ significantly improves both the sound and the level.
Isn't there a way to give specific apps root access via ADB without actually rooting the phone?

Yup that worked, do you know of a way to reinstall SoundAlive? I found that Dolby doesn't really suit me, and trying to install the SoundAlive APK through 0ackage installer results in the 'app not installed' message, and through ADB in error 3001

Yes we can only try and keep each other safe and happy in this time and that's all that's worth fighting for. :good::good:
https://www.xda-developers.com/viper4android-v2-7-new-ui-profile-management/
That link will give you a bit of information regarding the app.
It needs root so you will need to root the phone - but the good news is it does increase the sound greatly and is very flexible in its features Perfect for my music - under the master limiter option is a slider which increases the bluetooth headset volume
Make sure the bluetooth headphones are paired before
To set it up you need to
1, root device - any help needed with this, no problem
2, Make sure the bluetooth headphones and then install viper4android (v4a) apk attached in next post - it will ask you to accept root - hit "yes" and then install drivers - again hit yes
3, the phone will reboot - when it has booted disable bluetooth for now and start some music on the phone and open the app and go to settings
4, check "compatibility mode" and you should see the V notification pop up - go to main v4a screen
5, tap the small hash icon next to the settings icon and that will bring up a small window titled driver status - if "Neon Enabled", "Enabled" and "Processing" say "Yes" - v4a is processing normally in speaker mode and is fully functional.
6, You should now be able to reactivate bluetooth and play music with v4a fully working and just use the volume gain under "Master Limiter" to give the lil' chap the volume boost he deserves
I use another app called sound assistant (available on play and galaxy market - no root needed) with the v4a app - sound assistant has a graphic equaliser that i crank up on all channels for an extra music boost - this might also help.
Give me a shout if you need assistance.
One love!! :good:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-20-ultra/how-to/guide-how-to-root-n20-ultra-t4147023
and then see how you get on with rooting using the guide for N986O (which also apparently works or the N model)
My device is exynos so i wont be able to help much with root (different process) but it should be no issue for you

If you download "Power Amp" there is a section in settings called audio. It lets you apply gain pretty easily. It also lets you apply gain without clipping. I think you will need the full version to do this though. PowerAmp.
Once you add the gain there is also a gain slider in the equalizer section. Along with dials to increase or decrease bass treble and loudness. It has album art (it will dl it for you) and some cool visualizations.
Viper is an excellent choice also but PowerAmp works withough root and is super easy to install. It may be the ticket it gets plenty loud. The UI is a little outdated but once you set it you can forget it.
If you need any help with it let me know I have been using it for years.
