[Equalizer]DSP Manager for ALL Lollipop Versions

Disclaimer: First of all, I do not own any of these files.
[For CM13]:
With effect of build from Aug 2016 onwards, Audio FX will NOT be replaced by any third-party equalizer.
The ONLY solution is to first remove Audio FX by using Root Uninstaller then flash DSP Manager.
DSP Manager is an Equalizer that was once as default equalizer since CM7 and it performs almost identical to beats audio. (Best features: Dynamic Compression & Bass Boost)
Since CyanogenMod has stopped / abandoned work for DSP Manager on CM12 onwards,
I have a solution and had 2 zip files tested and FULLY working on CM12.1 & CM13 (should be also fully compatible with any versions of AOSP, modded, stock Lollipop and future Roms)
I have attached 2 zips (eng.stk's modded zip + patch) that will be needed in order to get the sound enhancement working.
Instructions:
1. Flash the modded v5.0.8 zip
2. Flash the patch(DSP.zip)
If it does not work after performing 2 flashes as mentioned, try flashing v5.0.8 zip on top again after flashing the original DSP zip.
(No wipes required)
Big shout out to CyanogenMod Team and @eng.stk
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3873953
for all the works and all credits to them.
Be sure to check out @eng.stk other modded equalizer works.

DSP Manager might NOT work on all music players.
Original music player(Apollo) has also been included.
Enjoy!

Why are you lying about your location? Per Cyanogenmod forums you say you are in Singapore but on here it says England.

One word: Trust.
Deception is never a good thing. It's up to you what you want to do but I am simply pointing that out for other users so they can make their own informed decision.

great so i will upgrade my phone to lollipop 5.1.1

This is awesome buddy! I was beating my head against the table for hours trying to figure out why Android 5.1.1 would not have a good equalizer or the prior ability to override the built in craptastic MusicFX. So after googling and reading a ton of workarounds for Lollipop, I found this thread. And using CM in the past, I really like DSP as is does all the things needed (equalizer for headphones, speakers, bluetooth). SO I did as you instructed, flashed the two files in order you mentioned (mod then original) and viola it works. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I love it to loud lol

This would be great if I can just get a custom recovery on my GS4. I have zero success so far. I have OF1 5.01. It is rooted and only the stock recovery works. Anytime I try to install a custom recovery it fails. My bootloader shows the Samsung logo with an open lock indicating it is unlocked too. So I am completely confused on how to get TWRP or CWM on here. I need an EQ badly. This suck!!

Just to let you guys know that this methods works for CM13 / android M aosp roms too
Cheers

Works great on CM 13.0 (Android 6.0) !

Works with Poweramp on Galaxy S4 I9505 (runing CM12.1) , but it makes the sound stutter in voice calls.
Is it supposed to work on Galaxy S4 at all ? Any idea on how to fix stuttering issue in voice calls ?
Thanks for maintaining this mod.

@finallau, any suggestion on sound issue during voice call with dsp manager ?

try a wipe cache + factory reset then flash my files.
If still persists, I suggest you update to CM13

Thanks for the suggestion @finallau.
I tried flashing your files over a clean install (wiped system + cache + data, and reinstalled CM12.1 before flashing the files).
Result is the same: music playback works in poweramp with dsp manager effects enabled, but sound is broken during a voice call.
Too bad it does not work, will rely on Viper4Android from now on.

Working great on SGS2 GT-I9100 with CM13 Nightly.

How exactly you install ? How did you test the sound actually ? What DSP are working as they say a lot like SRS, Viper, Dolby etc., ? Which kernel you are using ? I am new (was away for long time) so dont know where to test those settings.
Thanks

I see. Can you tell me how to enable and test Dolby, SRS effects in these mods ? There is another mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...d-kitakami-sound-mod-prototype-t3361092/page7 which I'm using now and works good (v4a by installing the lollipop version and system defaults), but no idea about SRS, Dolby effects as i did not get any of those apps after installing the mod. Do you have any idea ?

hhmmm i am using this also, since the one that i linked have a microphone issue on the z3+, i dont really know how to unable those, since that in the zip file, there are no such "apps" apart from v4a for effects and a customized sound enhancement app.

Firstly, sorry if this is against the rules, I have included credit wherever applicable and am open to any and all improvements.
HTC AUDIO COMPILATION THREAD
I just got an HTC 10 recently and got pulled into the audio mod scene, and the spent over 12 hours trawling through every forum post under the face of the earth to find some way to get my imperceptibly better audio fix working.
This thread is an attempt to help with that by including working files and configurations for the HTC 10, and nothing else.
THIS IS A WORK IN PROCESS AND I DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEES ABOUT THE MODS OR SOFTWARE LINKED FROM HERE

Quick post and reservation for future.
Working config for me with each step included (relevant or not, just in case)
Dirty flashed rom to remove traces of v4a (Using Venom)
Installed busybox and xposed
Flashed Metaspook's V4A-MK latest and kernel (Elite)
Booted and gave V4A-MK superuser permissions
Installed driver through V4A-MK
Immediately (soft) rebooted
TO MAKE IRS FILES WORK YOU MUST GO TO SETTINGS>APPS>V4A-MK AND GIVE IT STORAGE PERMISSIONS
V4A was working for me after this, but I do not take responsibility if it does not work for you.

I recommend Dolby atmos 6.6 also made by @ahrion.
I believe the link is in the Original HTC10 audio thread as well.
Also ViperAudio. 4.8 and ViperAtmos. 4.8 by guitarededhero, and others that contributed and tested to make those go to mods for me.
Viper's I mentioned can be found on xda, software development forum. Feel free to link below.

Okay, all of this is so complex I dont even know what to say
Would be great to have the best sound available. Is there maybe a custom ROM for HTC 10 with integrated Viper4Android sound mod ?
I know to unlock bootloader, root, flash rom etc.

Anyone here uses external USB DAC with their V4A?

I haven't tried a USB dad but I want to. On that note the hdmi output works perfectly. All our TV's have built in days and also sounbars and recievers. Why there is no stand alone dads that I can find with hdmi input I am really not sure. Dies hdmi have better audio than USB I do not know either but sounds damn fine to me. If you just want to had a separate headphone dac/amp then I think any with an xmos processor will work. Also the soundblaster E5 sounds pretty good and should connect.

were you getting force closes, freezes etc? i think it is either due to busybox or init.d support, the v4amk thread has links to flashable zips for both and after flashing them both it stopped those problems, not sure exactly what it was though.

Yeah it would freeze. I also might have had a bad from at the time. Its been a feature packed week.
Got BusyBox installed from Google play now.

V4A works great when using Play Music, but I'm having trouble getting it to run on any other music app, even youtube and my web browser. I even have it set on FX Compatible Mode.

Im going to try to flash this. Im on the latest Leedroid ROM. is the zip all i need to flash as on his thread it says to flash a Kernel.init zip aswell. Also if something goes wrong do i just dirty flash ROM to get rid of it?
Edit: so i just tryed to install the mk mod zip and it worked fine but after installing the drivers and rebooting the app just freezes and so does phone. I tryed witht he init.d zip aswell and still the same. How do i get this working? Im on leedroid R155 which has the updated busybox.
Edit 2: set selinux to permissive and all works now.

why no AcoustiX on the list?

Help with installing Viper4android/ViperArise

Didn't try this with renovate Ice 5.0 but with 4.0 when I installed Viper4Arise (I belive that's the name) I got no sounds from my speakers. Tried it a few times all the same result.
Just want to know the steps to take so I can get better sound on my phone, or if Viper4android works?
Thanks.

To quote my response, hope this helps:
Ok here's what I did:
- make sure any previous version of Viper is removed (I had an issue where I'd installed a version over another and it messed my sound up in that even on the lowest volume step it was playing full volume!). I used one of the viper with the aroma and chose uninstall. Then I used Titanium Backup to search for viper and removed another that way.
- flash this version:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634776829
- if you don't have the Viper app appear then flash an apk of one. I used the pure black from from here (open up the zip and I used the 2.5.0.5 version):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OgctcRCMJvdUpSTnZYazhpM2s/view
I'm not sure if I'm just being picky, but I swear that this sound doesn't sound as good as previous setups. Though this is the first version that just works - as previously I needed to use compatibility mode for Spotify and to avoid issues, such as when I would play via Spotify, then load Poweramp whilst playing, it would silence Spotify resulting in me needing to kill both apps in order to resume audio.
Good luck!

Im having this issue as well. Had viper4android on my s7 edge and it was much louder with alot more bass. Very disappointing. Cant figure out why its not as loud as the s7 edge. Any tips on how to boost volume. I'm connecting to Bluetooth in my car on a s8 plus.

No media sound at all SGS8 (SM-G950F)

Hey everyone! I am new here and not really experienced, that's why i really need your help with the following:
I've rooted my device with TWRP & Magisk (by following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbFDv8Ii7PM)
Everything went smooth without any problems.
After that I tried to install Viper4android and that's where the trouble starts.
(I followed this guide to install Viper4android: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-install-viper-android-galaxy-s8-s8-t3596933)
Now I do have it installed but any media sounds do not work at all on any app with or without headphones.
Rebooting or factory resetting does nothing.
My guess that it's something with audio_effects.conf or soundAlive_51 but can't know for sure.
Please help a desperate soul out :fingers-crossed:
Edit1: Interesting... media sounds works if i listen to music via chrome for example, also it seems that it works with games and audio files that are locally on the device, so basically sound doesnt work with youtube and spotify (the ones that actually matter) help?

...

what a nice helpful people here... smh

I'm having the same issue I think. Tried to flash viper, but it didn't work, so I re-enabled soundalive. It has been working fine for several weeks, but suddenly media sounds have stopped. I still get text message alerts etc, but no sound using youtube, or VLC media player playing local files. If you find a solution, please post it.
