Elows ,
I am new here.I have my Galaxy S for about a year now.I Use poweramp with a very nice Klipsch Image S4 in-ear headphones .but the sound quality still lags behind the my ipod touch .I searched the net and found out there are some roms for this.I dont really understand all this.So can neone plz xplain what is this flashing and more importantly how can i improve the sound quality with or without using this roms..
Regards
Try voodoo sound.
There are a bunch of roms that include it, but unless you are planning on flashing anyway, probably just easier to use voodoo control plus app. There's a small fee for the app, but well worth it
ok do i need to root my phone for it? and if so please tell me how to do it...lolz i am a NOOB here
Mmmh, you need to install a custom Rom with voodoo, which is not as easy as it seems, I guess...
just need to root and flash kernel that comes with voodoo sound right ?
Or root and this http://goo.gl/W6MZL no custom kernel required. LIke the cornflake captain said.
So far I've tried a ported Sony Walkman apk with various old school sound mods (xLoud & Clearaudio+, Beats), then Apollo with HTK audio engine, then ViPER4Android. I can't tell if any of them worked, which usually I can tell. I think it's because the sound from the PURE's speakers is already pretty loud, and much better sounding then my original Moto X's? I used the selinux app for ViPER4Android, and HTK audio engine apparently doesn't require the selinux mode change. I'm gonna play around later with my Bluetooth headphones to see if I can notice it better. I think the speakers/drivers are pretty damn good, can't wait to see how much better they can get, being an audio enthusiast. Thoughts, input, ideas?:silly:
Edit: I plan on adding the "known" working music mods/apk's/etc.....
mixer_paths.xml VOLUME BOOST
XTREMEMusic
Xperia Z3 WALKMAN and MODS
ViPER4Android
HTK audio engine

Tried using viper on stock and it sounded god awful. It didnt improve the sound one bit and instead made it sound super tinny to where some songs would hurt my ears. It did work on AICP though, but its still to buggy for me to use as a daily.

Thanks for the input! I still can't tell a difference. I did however flash THIS and it seemed to work. I had the "color mode" set to normal instead of vibrant since I didn't think vibrant made it any better. But I flashed the Sony zip and it seems much better.....

Interesting, would you say the difference is very noticeable? I remember using something like this on the optimus4x and it made it look nicer but I'm not sure if it was a placebo or not haha
Been using XtremeMusic Mod with Project Desire and V4A and loving the audio quality. Takes some tuning but sounds fantastic on speaker, headphones, and in my cars Bluetooth. Increases the speaker volume greatly without distortion too.

DUDE! I just have to say, thank you for linking that mod! Originally viper did not work at all for me on stock but after installing these mods, sound quality is now amazing! It's the best on any phone I've had so far.
Everyone go flash this!

Very welcome. Its amazing so glad it was useful to you!
Ok..... I was able to increase the volume by editing the mixer_paths.xml similar to the way it's listed on the net everywhere. Only tested the phone speakers and bluetooth, not headphones. Was kinda scared so I only increased everything by "2". That was noticeable and good enough for now.
1. Using your favorite file explore go to = system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
2. Increase the highlighted area parameters in the pic below. I increased everything by only ''2''.
GO IN SMALL STEPS. I DON"T KNOW WHICH PARAMETER IS WHAT SPEAKER..... OR WHEN IT WILL BREAK SOMETHING!!
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BLOWING YOUR SPEAKERS OR EARDRUMS!!
I tried to install XtremeMusic Mod, Project Desire and V4A, but V4A is not working, NEON is showing as NO. I followed all their instructions and XtremeMusic app is showing that it is on. Have you guys had this problem or did you have to do something different to the instructions to get it working?

Inside V4A, if you check driver status, it says NEON=NO instead of yes.

Do you mean that V4A works for you fine even when NEON is no? I haven't tested it extensively because I gave up once seeing the "No" hehe. I'll give it a try now and see whether V4A is really working. I do think however, that XtremeMusic Mod is working, my bluetooth buds sounds much better than before I flashed them. So even if V4A is not working, I can just wait for them to find a fix.

I just noticed that when I play a song, v4a shows "processing=no" as well. My conclusion is that when we flashed "XtremeMusic Mod with Project Desire and V4A", the "XtremeMusic Mod with Project Desire" part did stick, but not the fixed V4A version. So the sound enhancement we can hear is from the first 2 mods only. I tried increasing/decreasing bass in V4A and there was no audible difference.
is anyone able to get walkman working on stock? It seems to bootloop in the presence of lucky patcher.
UPDATE: I'm able to get the standalone 9.0.2A to work, but not the 3.5 Z3 package

I was having the same issue but managed to get it to start working.
Steps I took:
* Uninstall V4A Drivers
* Reboot to recovery
* Re-install XtremeMusic
* WIPE CACHE/DALVIK
* Re-install V4A and drivers (mine got uninstalled in the process of flashing XM)
* Reboot
* Set SELinux to Permissive
* Play some music and open V4A to verify V4A is working (I have mine set to Compatible and Forced)
* Open XM and turn on
Hopefully this works for anyone else having issues as well. Relatively simple fix but it worked for me.
Been using this Viper, Atmos, Beats installer for the last few weeks and it's fantastic. Developer is actively developing with a new version nearly every day (at this point mostly small tweaks to increase compatibility across devices). I'm on the latest version (3.7) with no problems. Wipe dalvik and cache, flash, reboot.

I have edited the lines that you have in your screenshot and I haven't heard an increase in my headphones nor speakers at all. Were/are there any other lines that need to be edited in the mixer_paths.xml file (such as the section beginning with '<path name="headphones">'?
Do you have any recommended values that you changed yours to in order to hear a difference? Thanks!

I honestly was copying a mod from a Nexus device and I think I was tricking myself into noticing a volume increase. :silly:
I had note 3 with viper4android. The sound was great.
When I bought Note 8 first impression that the sound processor has no ... power and with loud music distorts sound.
I am asking for an opinion - is it worth installing Viper4android on Note 8? There is a big difference in sound compared to stock.
Yes. major difference

Is root needed?
Yes.
Hi folks....got my Note 8 all rooted and working on the customizing and such. Of course one of the key reasons for root is for ViperFX which I've used for years and love!
I had no problems installing Viper by following the instructions in some other thread in spite of Flash Fire no longer working...all the buttons work and such...at least so it seems.
It's certainly louder and maybe clearer...but I can't definitely tell if it's on or off!!...Does one turn it on or off via that Master Power switch within it? Is it permanently on?
Thanks for the help
I just installed Viper4Android along with Dolby. Sound is definitely far louder and better.
However, with my high end earphones, I am unable to get decent sound.
Can you gurus please share your Viper4Android ''heatset'' settings? Thanks1!
I would rather look for IRS or convolvers, there are plenty of them, you surely will find one of your liking

Do you mean speaker is louder (not earpiece)? I tried V4A by itself and it made marginal difference
I just couldn't get v4A to work at all. Kept saying drivers not installed.
I just modified the mixer_gains.xml to change the headphone volume and now they are super loud and perfectly clear. V4A not required at all

I had issues at first getting Viper4Android working. Are you rooted with SuperSU or Magisk? If possible, root using Magisk as it is far easier to get Viper4Android to work.
Using Magisk, download and install the Viper4Android module, activate and reboot. Job done.
I do have Magisk and TWRP installed but it just wouldn't work.
You guys can try my profile if you want, just put the items in the correct folders and load it up
It has the perfect balance of what I like
P.S the convolved is optional, for me it just makes it sound a little bit more clearer by using the original sound driver
Hey guys, curious on making the sound on my Nexus 6 better. When I am playing on max volume, it sounds like the speaker is about to bust. I do have Viper installed via Magisk. I see multiple post about Dolby. Where can I get the installer for this? I found a Nexus 6 post about a link and I installed it. Bootloop was the result. I then went through Magisk and started installing random ones. They all fail.
What am I doing wrong?
Apparently no one uses the Dolby sound mod?
