[APP][ICS] Sony Walkman music player for u8800

This is just [UPDATED] [APP] Walkman for ICS Full [ICS] by ThilinaC adapted to u8800.
I removed some apk's because they didn't do anything in u8800.
If you only install the apk, the background of the player does not change according to the album cover. With that zip it changes
Install the app + libs:
walkman_for_u8800_ics_only-signed.zip
Revert back to Aurora 4.0 files:
delete_walkman_for_u8800_ics_only-signed.zip

does it have widget?

Does it have some audio improvement, special equalizer,etc?
Is it compatible with Google Music? If I understood correctly, it overwrites default music player and GMusic is a must for me.

Holy crap, sr21, you rock, man.
Thank you so much.
Also, yes, it does come with the widgets.

No, it have widjets for Albuns, Artists and Playlists.
It does not have a widjet for playing songs like Google Music, Apolo or PowerAmp.
The widjet that has been ported didn't work in my phone. Because of that I didn't included it in the flashable zip.

It is a good music player like others.
I don't have a 450€ beats headphones to see if have sound improvements or not. The sound of u8800 is not good at all, so the improvements aren't very noticable.
The biggest improvements that I ever seen were with Beats Audio Mod that I posted in the General Section, but with it you couldn't set the volume to the maximum or it'll cause a little bit of distortion.
I don't have Google Music installed, so I don't know if it is compatible with it or not.
You can always try it and if you don't like it, just flash the delete zip. It'll restore the aurora files and remove the ones of Walkman.

@sr21 do you currently use your beats audio mod with this player?

I didn't tested it together.
If you use Beats Audio Mod, download the Walkman zip and extract it. There is one app in the folder data/app, just install it as a normal app and you have the Walkman installed without messing up with Beats Audio.
I'll take a look to see if they use the same fibs!

Some of the files used by Beats Audio are also used by Walkman.
I don't know if mixing them together will be bad or not.
If you want to use both, I think you should flash Walkman first and then Beats Audio for two reasons:
1st: You can remove all the Walkman files with the flashable zip that I did (it'll revert your system files to Aurora 4.0 defaults). You could reflash Beats Audio and it'll be like a fresh install.
2nd: Beats Audio shows best audio improvements in than Walkman. Walkman have a nice player and that's it. Flashing Beats Audio after flashing Walkman will force the system to have the Beats Audio files and your sound should be great as it was when you only used Beats Audio. And probably Walkman should work also...
You should use this Beats Audio version: BeatsAudio5.1.zip

Do a nandroid backup before you procede just in case something goes wrong

[Q] Viper 4 android not working?

Hey guys! I have a Galaxy S4 on 4.2.2 that i have rooted and used TrulyClean v1.6 (Hardcore version) on!
I recently got the tip to try and install viper4android since it was better than the beats EQ mod i had,
I found out that the same issue I had with the beats eq mod I had with viper4android too.
Whenever I listen to songs in Google Music I cant just change tracks because when the next
track is playing there are no FX at all, just the stock sound! sometimes i gotta let a song repeat 2-3
times before this happens, it is REALLY frustrating and annoying!
I dont know if it's because I have to delete music FX or get another music player,
Whatever it is I know i'd appreciate some help!
Thanks in advance, cheers!

Hi. My i9505 does not recognize viper4android despite I've got it in audio effects. Usually I listen music with samsung player. Might be default player?

I don't know. I think it's a drivers problem. You should unistall the first one and reinstall it according to snapdragon cpu. I followed entire guide but my audio didn't change. Only thing we could do, is to wait for new version.

V4A is awesome with all players except stock..I'm also interested in the fix with stock player..

anyone got VIPER working properly on their i9505?

V4a works fine with mine.. I use poweramp and play music.. However i can not get it to work with samsung player..

I found that mine works from time to time (using Google Music).. the first track doesn't get processed but as the second song starts v4a kicks in sometimes.. I can't really use other players as my music is stored in the Google cloud. .

I went nuts on installing this.
Its great and truly the greatest sound but its tempremental I can get it to work with stock player and google music but it wont.be constantly working.
If one works the other doesnt.

I placed the IRS files correctly in the Kernel folder and Viper4Android got Root acces but my sound doesnt change a bit...
Compatibility mode doesnt work either
I'm about to give up on viper Audio because it isn't working on my device!
Am i missing something?

Sometimes it kicks in and work, and next song, not working again
(I use Deezer)

intermediate on google play

Having the same issue on sacs custom 4.4 v3. It has worked on all after sacs roms but not the 4.4 for whatever reason. I've tried evening I can think of to Foxx over the last few weeks and still no successand I'm really missing viper its by far the best out there. Having the same problem in my Windows 8.1 machine as well.

I have a similar problem with the Allview V1 Viper(a.k.a. Gionee Elife E3/Blu Life Play). I have a custom ROM, Xperia 4.2.2 made by Orochi, and it came with V4A preinstalled. I set everything, I launch walkman, and start a song. For 10 secs, the sound is great, the effects definitely work, then it reverts to stock...
What can I do?

Deezer and Viper4Android
Well, I have a Samsung I9082L and a Xperia C2304, but I'm facing problems with Deezer when using Viper to enhance my Xperia sound. I don't know if it happens with all Xperia phones, but Deezer uses my Xperia audio enhancer as default. I discovered that Xperia audio enhancer and Viper4Android conflict when using Deezer. So I tried disabling Sony audio enhancer (SoundEnhancement.apk) and it happens that I was right... now Viper works as a charm for my Xperia. So, for the people who are having problems using Deezer or Spotify, verify if Deezer uses phone's audio enhancer as default and try disabling it. Do not uninstall it! Just disable at the application options or, if not available, freezing with Link2SD or TitaniumBackup. Hope it helps.

Sound enhancement (besides Dolby Atmos)

Has anyone tested another sound mod enhancement besides dolby atmos?

Yes I have. V4A also known as Viper 4 Android is supported by our device (at least it worked for me. NO GUARANTEE). It works about the same as Dolby Atmos. Its as usual a personal preference thingy, just like some people enjoy a Playstation and others the Xbox.
Besides that there are other packs out here on XDA that might work but they have not been explicitly tested or anything. Go and use the search if you want to experiment a little but remember, ALWAYS Backup all your stuff.

Yes I did but only with the chinese Version. That also has been with the old Android (5.1.1). With the european version of the music player it had issues and didnt do anything to the sound.
It also worked with Google Play Music, Spotify, Phonograph and the HTC Stock Music app that I am using now on 6.0 with Dolby Atmos.
Dolby Atmos has always been my goto software because it worked with all tested versions by me and honestly I have been through many versions on the P8 Lite.

DOLBY ATMOS - what is use of this app and how to turn it ON while listening to music?

I use PowerAmp to play all my music. I found Dolby Atmos app on my Axon 7. But I could not turn it ON while my Poweramp player is playing. Also what is use of Dolby Atmos and how it works ?

Atmos is just a software eq. You can just stick with PowerAmp eq if you want. If you have FLAC music and want to use the hi-fi DAC, you will have to use the ZTE music app. The DAC doesn't work outside of the app from what I can tell.

That's software equalizer. Hi-fi DAC is hardware component.

Checking MusicFX means it will use the phone's built-in EQ which is the Dolby Atmos one which should use the Hi-Fi DAC.
EDIT: Ok I guess I was wrong, but it is possible to use the Hi-Fi DAC with Poweramp 3.0 Alpha! See HERE

Poweramp Alpha does work with Dolby Atmos. You just need to put Poweramp in Hi Res Audio Output through the settings.

Nope, just have the installed version from the Play Store. I'll get the alpha, thanks for the response.

Am I the only one that can't get the tracks to be listed in listed order in the stock music app? No matter what I do or which section I choose to view the tracks, they're always listed alphabetically.

Got burned by Lenovo's A10-70 tablet that also have implemented Dolby ATMOS. That tablet sound will get screwed up every time I loaded Poweramp normal Play Store version. Even disable Direct Volume Control in Poweramp does not help. Please tell me if both normal and alpha version of Poweramp works fine with this phone since I am very much interested. I am also not familiar with ZTE software update policy. Not sure if it will get updated as often and as long like Google Nexus phones.

Shuttle (and Shuttle+) work well with Dolby Atoms, just disable the built in EQ.
DON'T use "n7 Player" - Before their update, it messed up Dolby and I had to reset my phone twice (a 3rd time was my fault). After their latest update, it renders Dolby Atoms useless and when you try to enable it, it restarts the phone (had to reset my phone twice). Thanks to n7 (my favorite player) not playing well with Dolby Atmos, I've had to reset my phone a total of 5 times since getting it 3 weeks ago.

Headset HiFi and Dolby Atmos works with my music player of choice as well: Clean Music. Probably because it's just a simple GUI (entire player is less than 1MB) and leaves all the processing to the system.

Okay apart from Poweramp and builtin music player - what are other good options to make use of best available audio on board with Axon 7 ?

Well Spotify seems to work well for me. It probably doesn't use the Hi-Fi chip but with Dolby enabled the sound is very nice.

Call me stupid or lazy but the volume is tiny compared to my old LG G2. I have to turn it all the way up to 70%. Is this the case for you guys?

Hello
I tried to use poweramp, but this isn´t dolby Atmos enabled, but, I ´m using Jetaudio plus... and this works PERFECT, remember that this sound app was designed for use in high -end mp3 players ( like cowon), and i can say with full confidence that works great with dolby atmos, boosting very well the music in the speakersphone, in the bluetooth car stereo and headphones ( wired and wireless)... this app bringing bass optimization ( in the original speakersphone the bass is very poor), let me know your experience, i´ll try to help

Please don't recommend warez. Against XDA rules. Getting paid apps for free is warez.

i love when someone expresses gratitude with an aid. The post was edited, It was with pleasure!

Someone on the Zte forums said you need to disable direct volume control and BT direct volume control in the settings. In order to get power amp to work with Dolby.
And I can confirm that I am able to use the hifi setting and Dolby with Tidal. Which actually makes the music sound better to me than my dp-x1 onkyo player, which makes me mad cause that thing cost me 800$ lol

How to disable Dolby?

Hello guys, how to uninstall dolby.??
I have a sennheisser headphones and the sound is terrible, very sharp... meanwhile in my older phone sounds good
When I disable it, then in youtube music, or google music I cant even see the option of the equalizer of those apps.
Any help please?

I agree that it makes the audio distorted and sound like garbage. Much better to install Magisk + Ainur Sauron + ViPER4Android FX (then try out Viper Clarity)
To disable Dolby you can use Titanium backup and freeze it!

does disabling it from the app info page not disable it?

Oh that should do it. I thought there wouldn't be the option. Some system apps don't let you do this

I did a comparison between G7 and Z3 Play with USB C digital audio adapter (Anker)
G7 sound still a bit more distorted than Z3 Play
If you're really serious about playing music, Z3 Play is a better choice because you have option not to use audio processing at all (100% express)
***** update *****
Here is a solution:
If your G7 is rooted, go to /system/app/ and move two dax folders to external memory card and reboot
