Is there a way to install the Dolby EQ without root? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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

Equalizer problems: sound gets "less" when using it

hello,
i've searched now for a while and could not find a solution for this problem:
on my device (and this was the same with my note2) and on stock kernels i could not get the equalizer function properly.
the stock equalizer does not alter the sound in the right way, in fact it makes it LESS "loud" on the opposite frequencies i want to adjust.
example: if i want to add heights the bass goes down significantly, but no hights are added. same for adding bass: the heigts go down, but the bass level did not increase. if i turn the EQ off, the sound get much louder then, although i adjusted the typically "U" formed curve!
as far as my search showed this is a problem for other people as well, here in the note3 forum there are almost no postings regarding this.
is your EQ working as expected?
what apps do you use? stock music player or something different? i use google play music, but its the same for other apps as well.
even tried to remove all other music apps (as suggested in some postings) due to possible conflicts, but this wont help! i also installed a different equalizer app (and removed the stock one, after only disabling it) from the market, same results.
on my note2 i had the same issue, the only thing which helped was to flash a custom kernel. with this i was able to use equalizers the way they were meant!
does someone has some experience here?
regards,
markus

thx for the answer,
i used poweramp for years, and it did me an excellent job! but for convenience i switched to google play some time ago, and since then i have this equalizer problem with samsung stock kernels! if i remember right this is since the introduction of 4.0 or 4.1!
because of my migration to google play i would need a solution how to get the equalizer right, and i'm curious if other people have the same problem! and: if someone managed to get it work!

Now I know this is many years old, but I see from your sig you have an S8+ now. Do you still have this issue with the stock EQ? I'm getting exactly the same behaviour with the S8+ and the S9+, turning any slider up just seems to cut the entire volume down, it's so annoying!

Can you designate certain apps to bypass fingerprint security while in use?

All,
Does anyone know if there's a way to make it when using the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge so that when I'm using a certain DESIGNATED app that the phone would let me BYPASS fingerprint security as long as I'm using that designated app?
For example, let's say I start listening to music on my S7 Edge using the Poweramp music app. While the app is playing my music, let's say the screen turns off (or I turn it off). When I push the Power button in order to wake the screen back up, if I'd selected Poweramp to be a designated app, the phone would skip the fingerprint security measure altogether and just unlock itself.
IS there a setting that can make this happen? If not, is there an APP that can do this?? Please let me know. It would just be nice like when I'm driving if I didn't have to deal with the extra security measure.
Thank You,
RockStar2005
Maybe you could just use the inbuilt feature smart lock? Don't think you can use it for specific apps though it.

mklass,
What do you mean? How do I get to that?
Well if any developers reading this think they can create an app that would accomplish this, please feel free to do so. I would DEFINITELY pay for such an app if one was ever made.
Thanks!
Well I'm using a nexus 5 at the moment and there's a feature called smartlock in settings.
It allows you to bypass security based on certain things like location, if your phones in your pocket, if you connect to a Bluetooth device or a WiFi connection.
I have pattern lock on my phone but as soon as I get home and connect to my WiFi it bypasses my secuiry and I don't have to enter my patten lock, same when I get in my car and connect to my Bluetooth car system.
I think what you're asking for is a custom lockscreen app that will allow you to black list certain apps so that if the app was the last app used before the screen turned off, the lockscreen app would either auto unlock or ask for the security pin check.
It's possible you maybe able to do such a think using Tasker once you can root the s7e.
Tasker can enable and disable the lockscreen depending on what app is in the foreground and so if your music app is active, then Tasker will disable the lockscreen, which when your screen turns off, there will be no lockscreen when you turn it on next, and if you activate an app not on your tasker conditions list, then Tasker will re-enable the lockscreen again (accessibility & root required for sure).
but of course you will need to know that your phone security won't be as good.

Oh ok. I know exactly what you mean now, and yes, the S7 Edge DOES have that feature. I don't have bluetooth in my car so I'm not sure how I do it.
There is a Smartlock option called On-body detection that keeps it unlocked as long as it feels it's being held or is kept upright, but when it is laid down it locks up. Problem is, when I lay it down and let the screen turn off, it still doesn't lock the phone. Ughh!
Sorry that didn't do what you needed buddy

Thanks for that info. That sounds like what I'm looking for, but if it requires a root, I'll have to pass. lol I rooted my HTC One M8 a couple years ago, and it was kinda cool at first, but it's not worth the headache. I really wish someone would make an app that would do what Tasker does but NOT require rooting. Oh well.

Neutron can bypass the lockscreen
Edit: picture added. And it only lets you access neutron, you'll have to input you fingerprint to access any other app. I much prefer neutron to Poweramp for quality and depth of customization too.

yeah root does have its negatives, but the option is yours to just change only what you need, applying root doesn't change anything on your phone instantly, it just unlocks the doors, its up to you if you want to open any of them

Yeah? Ok. Someone in another forum last week (Head-Fi) said to try Neutron too. I read it wasn't as user friendly as Poweramp, but sounded better supposedly. I really love Poweramp, but I guess now I have 2 reasons to give Neutron a try.

is it the actual main Neutron music app screen interface? or is it a lockscreen widget of the app? I'd say disabling the lockscreen would be pretty impossible for a non superuser app. if in fact it is possible, then hopefully tasker could be coded to do the same

It's not as user friendly because it's for professionals. You can literally get lost in the settings. The developers are amazing, its updated often. If rich features and customization are important to you then it's the best music player for you. And afaik it's the only app that can load it's UI before the lockscreen, music player or otherwise.
Edit: and yes it sounds better and is infinitely more tunable than Poweramp. It's the only media player with 64bit decoding. Really, if you're serious about music then get it and spend some time learning about the settings. The possibilities are endless.

sonhy,
I just tried Neutron and it WORKS!!! I applied the "Lock Screen" setting (I don't want Wake Lock b/c it will keep screen on forever, and Power Lock keeps it on if it's plugged in, which I don't want either).
Only thing is, is it known to be buggy? I heard the UI wasn't as good as Poweramp's but that it sounds better, but twice in the last 10 minutes the app froze on me. Not 100% I will keep it but maybe.
Thanks so much again!!

I haven't had any stability issues. Are you on the eval version? Maybe it was searching for music in the background.

No I got the full paid version a while ago but never really used it. I'll give it more time, but it does what I wanted it to........... it comes up IN FRONT OF the fingerprint scan request on the lock screen. It's not bypassing it, but getting in front of it is basically the same thing. Very cool!
The UI actually isn't that bad once you give it a chance. I need to spend more time with it though, and I would like to compare it with Poweramp for my own knowledge. I've always been interested in music (I play guitar as well). But I have in the last 15-16 mos gotten really into Hi-Fi listening......... including Hi-Res music, using a premium amp/DAC (the Oppo HA-2), and premium headphones as well (the AKG K553). I HIGHLY recommend both! I'd tried the HA-2 against other devices that cost twice as much, and it sounded just as good as them. The K553 I'd pitted against like $400 headphones, and it sounded BETTER than all of them!
With the HA-2 in the mix, I'm not AS concerned about the sound quality of the app on headphones, although the sound is better when I use the better apps vs. like the stock player. But in my car, I'm not using the HA-2, so the greater the sound quality the better!
2 questions for now..........
1) Does 64-bit processing REALLY make a difference? I will test it myself but still good to hear other's opinions.
2) Is there an option like what Poweramp has where Neutron will stop playing when a phone call comes in, and then resume once the call ends? If so, where exactly is it?
Thanks!

1) with your setup it should be noticeable. I use ath-m50x's with a fiio k1 when I'm at home and klipsch x11's when I'm out and I can hear differences in both.
2) that's the default behavior AFAIK, idk if it's tied to a setting.

Ok great!
Sounds like a pretty good setup!
Ok I'll test it out tonight perhaps and see if I notice a difference. First I want to compare Neutron to Poweramp. I'll keep 64-bit on for that because I wanna hear how they both sound when at their BEST settings. (EQ will be off on both.)
Ok awesome! Does it also stop when the GPS speaks in the car? I kinda prefer it NOT to stop (Poweramp lets you decide this), but if it does, that's fine.
Thanks!

Sound mods? Anyone using one, or more?

For those that are rooted, are you using something other than Dolby Atmos for your EQ? The more I use Dolby Atmos, the more I dislike it. It sounds good, but I have issues with it:
1) It seems to enable and disable at random
2) It'll switch profiles between songs - If I like my custom profile better, it will switch back to music on the next song. Not all the time, but most of the time
3) I'll have a preset *almost* the way I want it, but when I go back to adjust just one slider, like 20 seconds later, the EQ completely re-adjusts and I have to basically start over
4) (probably the biggest reason) It isn't comparable with my favorite music player, n7. Dolby crashes and cannot be started again, even if you uninstall n7. Only fix is a factory reset.
I seen the thread about v4a, but it makes Dolby Atmos crash. If I were to freeze Dolby, or uninstall it using Tibu, or ROM Toolbox, can I install v4a or a different sound mod and have it work?
I see no point in installing a sound mod when we have a Hi-Fi chip + Dolby Atmos

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

My understanding is that the HIFI chip doesn't work with apps that don't support it. Is that wrong? I never notice it and Atmos doing much for Google Play Music

Yep, I used Poweramp for while like this.....But, as bad as my reasoning sounds, I don't like the UI of Poweramp any more - Very Gingerbread-ish. It was fine for the last 3+ years, but I guess I'm just tired of it. I'm, anxiously, awaiting the new release of Poweramp (I'm a beta user) that has the redesigned interface.
In the meantime, I've found a few other players that work well that "look prettier".
- Shuttle+ has been my #1 "backup" player for the past 4 or 5 years. It's simple, but has most of the features I need
- RocketPlayer - I found on Amazons app store for $3.99 (vs Google Play for $6.99) and I really like it too!
But, the reason I started this thread is because I dislike Dolby Atmos. It constantly resets, turns off, changes profiles and was incompatible with my favorite player (n7 Player) - Actually, it's more like n7 is incompatible with Dolby Atmos and disables it system wide when installed. Prior to B27, it crashed Dolby Atmos and the only way to get it back was a factory reset.
So, in order to avoid Dolby Atmos and use players I liked and still have system wide audio enhancements, I was looking for a good system-wide sound mod. I know Viper4Android is the #1 go to for that, but I had a few issues with it not turning on and having to re-start my phone. But, in all honesty, I flashed a mod package that had V4A included, not as a stand-alone. So I may try it by itself, without the rest of the mod?

I'm on One Plus 3T Oreo 8.0 rooted, years using V4A and n7 player. Dolby Atmos alone seems to me a better solution. V4A is absolute freedom (a mess) and didn't find a player better than n7. Are you on Oreo version? You already have all we are looking for!

Well, I actually no longer have the A7.....The Samsung S8 lured me away with the big "edge-to-edge" screen. But honestly, I wish I still had the A7 sometimes.
But, the S8 is achieving the main results I was looking for...... I was flashing different ROMs on the A7, almost daily, sometimes 2-4 times daily - Plus all the different mods out there for rooted phones. I was literally addicted and would do this for 4-5 hours nightly. I had to step away from it all and get a phone that was not easily rooted...... My choice was an iPhone or a Samsung. Since I HATE iPhones, I went with the lesser of the 2 evils.
Ok, off my soap-box.... I do miss the amazing sound of the A7!
I find Dolby Atmos unreliable too, but really only use it when playing a video. For music I just use Jet Audio HD plus. Sounds great. Actually un-modded mine and my Son's Huawei Mate 7 and installed Jet instead of having a permissive system and Viper.
This is probably the best phone I've had in regards to being on a stock ROM. I would look at root and debloat if no updates were coming though. Easy to un-root it once de-bloated.

You can have enforcing + viper if you use the magisk module though
That's good to know!
I haven't used Magisk yet but for my phone, even if I mod it, it needs to be un-rooted again for root checking apps. Kind of limits mods. I assume Magisk is like Xposed, needing root? I know nothing about it yet.

No, Magisk doesn't need root, it provides root for a ROM. It's an alternative to SuperSU.
Magisk has the ability to hide root from some apps if needed. Items like banking apps and whatnot may still work and SafetyNet passes in most cases.
From what I've read. Never needed to do any of that myself.

Lol... The whole point about Magisk is being able to modify the system without triggering safetynet. Basically you don't have to unroot or anything, it's like you have your phone stock but you can have a bunch of modifications installed...
It was an alternative to SuperSU. But right now I can say with all certainty that SuperSU is an alternative to Magisk. It makes very little sense to use SuperSU especially since those Chinese guys bought it and made a mess with v2.80

Equalizer won't work in many cases

Hello, I've got a new Moto G4 for christmas and I'm really enjoying it, except for one thing => the equalizer :/
- (Android 6.0.1 - all available updates done - no Root) -
So here's what I already did :
Disable from "app" in settings the default "Audio Effects" then installing a new one => the new EQ says that I already have one EQ installed and don't work
If I do the same as before then restart, the new EQ work... but only for Spotify :/
reinstalling the new EQ without restarting don't do anything
[edit] The stock EQ don't work at all
I don't get why it won't work :s I really hope you can help me <3
Thanks for your time, *cough* sorry for the grammar if I made any errors *cough* and merry christmas =3
Hello, but what is the equalizer app name? the stock equalizer works?
Happy new year

Equalizer + Player Volume Boost
Equalizer
And right, I forgot to talk about this x) ... the stock equalizer don't work at all :c
(sorry, i'm new on the xda forums and I can't post links yet ^^' )

The stock works fine for me, by the way, i have tried the second, and works well, even appears the message of "disable audio effects", but works very well, i have disabled the audio effects, rebooted my phone, "enable auto preset detection" is turned off, tried with poweramp and google play music, whit headphones. But you don't notice any improve?
I just tried with Poweramp and your equalizer, while disabling the default one : the EQ spectrometer (or what it is called ) move, it detect the sound but when i choose a profile or anything, nothing change, the audio stay the same.
Maybe I should already think about doing a hard reset ? ^^'

But poweramp recognize the new eq app? no the stock, and have you tried with headphones? Because with the speaker there is not much difference between one and another profile, this is the link:

Sorry, where do I see if poweramp recognize it ? :s
[edit] Btw, the Poweramp EQ works within the app ^^ and yes I use headphones.
[edit2] And the Moto G4 bass are nice *w*
I'm bumping this thread (yes, it's not allowed but, but... :c ), it's been one month and I didn't solve this problem :/
There's nothing new btw.
Thank you again, whoever can help me, have a nice day/evening :3

global equalizer and sound settings

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...
