Global Equalizer - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a global equalizer for my N6 running stock 6.0.1.
I want an app that would process any audio destined for output (speakers, headphones).
It seems like right now music EQ is handled on a case by case basis within the music apps themselves.
The problem is that not many of the streaming apps include this functionality.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Post your recomendation, settings, question or something else.

Viper really much improve sound quality and interpretation in stock player and speakers, but if you using PowerAMP, you must play with a settings, but for listening from speakers, stock player is better for it.
Not working

I tried installing both the xHiFi & FX version, but the driver installation failed. Which CPU mode did you use? How much improved sound you get, given the already excellend pair of speakers on HTC One?
Thanks

V4A already working for ARHD 40.1 Android 4.4 kitkat??? pls confirm
Does not work for me
I've got a Verizon one, but I've tried everything and it doesn't seem to change anything in the sound. I also turned off beats, but still nothing. Maybe it doesn't work with the stock music player.
Can't get it working on SkyDragon Sense 7
Hey,

Got latest SU binaries, got busybox, set SEL Linux to permissive,disabled NuPlayer, tried other versions, different setting and different kernel. But I just can't get it working.

Audio mods for Moto X

Hi all!
Are you satisfied with the sound quality on your Moto X? Especially when listening music with headsets.
Do you use any sound mods?
Want to share my thoughts about sound quality. On 5.1 sound is better then on 4.4.4. In both used PowerAmp.
Actually I don't like the quality of the sound on 4.4.4. Can you recommend any sound mod working on our loved Moto X?

You've some issues with your moto x or dunno....
The sound quality is terrible on LP due to the bugged sound module used, use external sound monitor and you'll find it for yourself.
On 4.4.4 In using the Walkman port with their own sound announcements and I find it to be the greatest out there ( to me that is )
I can't live without Viper4Android on any phone I have, because I like to customize all the settings depending on what headphones I am using. And it makes the music sound beautifully well...

I'd tried V4A and can't install the sound driver or whatever they call it. It's just won't work for me...
Ok, I gave a try to V4A again and it works for me! Just set it to compatible mode.

Mine works fine on normal mode on LP.
Use SELinuxModeChanger and change from Enforcing to Permissive.
I understand that this soundmod do not work unless SELinux is in Permissive mode. Let me know if you need this apk.

I love my moto for listening to music. I use V4A too and can't imagine a live without it. The Moto X can play very loud too. I use headphones with 120 Ohm and don't need any external amping at all.

Did you installed BusyBox ?
I guess V4A also requires busybox.
This is what i did:-
1) Installed busybox from playstore.
2) Changed the SeLinux Mode form Enforcing to permissive.
3) Flashed V4A zip.
worked like charm.
I am on Ressurection Remix ROM but i guess this should work for Stock ROM too.
ok, guys.
I reflashed the 4.4.4 and tried Walkman port from there [PORT][4.1+][Update 2015/04/09] SONY WALKMAN™ | The Best Clear Audio Experience. I could say that version 3.1 worked for me. Version 3.5 fc's on start.
I didn't try to use V4A, so I can,t prove it works or not.
P.S. Make sure to have root and busybox installed. I didn't set Selinux mode to permissive, it works anyway
[JB_4.3-KK_4.4]_WALKMAN™_v5.1_CM10.2_CM11_by_ibanez7-signed.zip
This is the one Walkman port I use, it's not new but it works rather well, also you can update the walkman app itself if you wish. There is a initd script that you flash too for better output, which really changes only few things, that might not even be felt by a human, but either way, flash that too imo.

ok, thank you. I will give it a try later.

Couple of things i'd love to know ^^

Hey fellas.
I might need some help with a couple of things.
viper with dolby - fixed
Besides that, I've seen many people talk about Magisk, does it replace SuperSU or does it work together? why would i need it?
Last thing, i am looking for a cam app (could be even xposed module or whatever, i don't mind digging and modding for it to work)
Which is pretty much the best out there for this device.
So far the normal app makes the videos stutter a little, even on youtube videos with reviews of nexus 6 cam, they stutter.
I have seen the Chromeloop one, but it doesn't seem to support this device, only 5X and 6P.
Any luck there for you guys?
Many thanks!
What ROM are you running?
Magisk replaces superSU. The niece thing about it is that you can hide root, so you can use apps that do safetynet checks to look for modded devices like android pay etc.

Hey thanks for your reply
After a very long trying of different methods, i've got dolby to work with viper.
Last thing i'd love to know is the best cam app, and maybe how to run the Chromeloop camera NX Version 7 NZL.
I want to use my phone to make videos, would place the phone static and still it does stutter here and there :/
So i figured its the software.
I just use the google camera app

Dolby audio jag motog6+

Im having trouble with the Dolby app, when I active dolby the sond decreases about 15-20% and with headphones you can change the EQ 3notches.
It also changes the default EQ in Google music for example to the Dolby version were you cant increase the bass in the EQ. Is the some workaround for this? Or does anyone else experience the same thing?

Switch off volume leveller if on. In my case with the option on it lowered Bluetooth audio streaming considerably...
I personally installed ViPER4Android and totally switched off Dolby, since I find V4A much more enhanced and can be fine tuned to one's liking. Problem is that while streaming through Bluetooth, it's really inconsistent and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But if you're mainly using a wired headset, I suggest you give it a go...
Yes I understand, but I just got it dosen't jag want to root it yet! Viper is one of the best things along with xposed to Android(vanilla of course) but I hope someone can remove the restrictions for headphones in the Dolby app, if I coymuld I would. Best reegards Pierre Gothenburg Sweden det

Dolby itself is not the problem but did you attempt to turn off volume leveling or not?
xposed is nice but there are much better options out there. To my knowledge xposed still reverts art back to dalvik and decreases performance quite considerably imo.
You can either try volume boosting apps on the play store or you have to root. If rooted you can either use Viper, or modify system file (mixer something xml - I forgot the name of the file) to boost the volume.
Just because the device is new doesn't really factor in to if you should root or not, imo, unless the root solution is not stable which is not the case here. You can always unroot later and if for some reason you reach a point where you can't uninstal root, you can attempt to send the device back to Moto and hope you get a replacement.

If by "it complains" you mean the warning you get when you raise the volume too much, it's there on purpose to avoid damage to your ears. If I'm not mistaken, the only way to disable that is through root and xposed...

All restrictions are to avoid damage to your ears, that's why you can change things to higher values on speakers but not on headphones... You would have to root to have full control over this.

You can do several things with and without root:
No root: disable headset limitations guide - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.**********.com/disable-safe-volume-warning-no-root-required/amp/
With root: Install V4A app and set it up to your liking, or don't and just use Dolby but disable limitations with an xposed module. You can find several guides on XDA or through Google.
As for V4A working with Art or Dalvik, I'm no expert and don't understand what difference this may make regarding audio quality, but I can tell you V4A works perfectly fine with a headset on my G6+, as well as on several of my other older devices, too. Only issue is Bluetooth streaming which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, depending on which audio device you're connecting to, but I can live with that...

Thanks for your time and knowledge, I couldn't find a good way to bypass this exept disabling it! I fond another EQ and cant say that I hear ny difference. Maybe in The movie mod, but I'll finetune it so you cant hear any difference. At least not in my A-jays 5 or my Bluetooth headset, but I prefer The A-jays 5 beacase of the sound and it dosen't drain my battery (Bluetooth))!

Question - how to make app compatible with android auto

Is there a way to make an app that streams TV channels to work with android auto? I have screen2auto and aa aio tweaker installed and e.g. youtube works ok in my car's headunit. For some reason this specific app only works with audio and subtitles, but the video remains black on headunit. I'm suspecting some sort off "aa blocker" built in app, but no idea if there is some tricks to make it work. Any ideas what i should try?
Already created module with smali patcher with secure flag and installed it with Magisk and installed liboemcrypto module as well. After that i was able to mirror (not casting) the video using chromecast to my TV, but that didn't work with AA even i thought it would. So please, help me get this app work in AA
In case somebody is struggling with similar problem, i managed to solve the issue with TaiChi and DisableFlagSecure module.
