Anyone using any audio mods , if so which ones and how well do they work? I'm coming from the HTC One which has great headphone/speakerphone audio quality. I'm not too concerned about speakerphone as I use headphones most of the time.

Isn't that a flashable zip? Is there an option to flash in stock recovery since the Verizon variant doesn't have TWRP or CWM?

It worked for me but, no significant change in regard to loudness. As far as sound quality....big difference.

it does work, the g3 just has a great audio output that its hard to tell the difference. you will not get an increase in volume though :crying:
I am an audiophile. I own many thousands of dollars in headphone equipment as well as monitoring equipment. I have been an avid android user and developer since the HTC G1. I use viper4audio not for the speaker output but for the headphone output. The G3 uses the same Amp for the speaker as it does for the headphones. There is no change what so ever when viper4audio is enables to my sound. I use the equalizer ive checked multiple settings, i've even used different audio players to get viper4audio to work on neither the speaker or headphones. What you experiencing is a placebo effect.
I hate to ask such a basic question, but are you guys using the XPOSED framework and have you enabled the viper mod in the framework?
I can assure you this mod works with the G3 (at least the AT&T version - I'll be testing on a verizon version later today). The sound difference can be drastic depending on what mods you turn on and to what levels you set them at.
That brings up another question I guess.... Are you going into the GUI and selecting different mods? Just installing the app won't change anything as nothing is turned on be default. You have to set things up manually.....
Just moved from and S5 and this was one thing I installed first. I can't speak to the headphone jack but bluetooth audio definitely works.
Viper sounds amazing on this phone, I can tell a difference from my s4. Very happy with spotify viper combo
does anyone has a the origina file handy for a verizon LG-G3 handy? I followed the instructions in the op and saved the original file on my sdcard but I ended up buying another sdcard and forgot I had it in the old sdcard. Now I'm scared if I ever going to do a change I don't have the original file to go back to. I'm happy with this mod I just want to have it just in case, thank

I am an audiophile as well and viper has been working perfectly for me since day one of rooting my g3. I don't have force enable viper on. I also have the user audio profile installed. And FX compatibility mode is on normal. Do you have yours installed as a system app? I don't.

I am an audiophile and I always recommend Noozxoide Eizo Rewire Pro. Amazing.
I think viper is the best I notice a big difference in both quality and volume I used a decibel meter on my g2 to compare the difference and with viper I gained on the low end 6 db and on the high end 10db so that's an average of a 8 db gain with viper
I rooted almost specifically to use Viper4Android. Ive noticed that the phone speaker is actually quieter with V4A enabled(probably just settings) but headphone volume/clarity is fantastic. I also came from an HTC One M7, and i have to say, 1 watt does work on this device

I can confirm this also. V4A FX 2.3.3.0/Verizon VS985(Rooted) -
Viper always has worked for me on my G3 with and without Xposed framework installed, but always with root. My steps are below, never given me a problem.
V4A version 2.3.3.0 [in Normal (not compatibility) mode, with granted root permissions, Latest version, expert UI, played with SPOTIFY]
Installed by dragging apk from extSD to
dragged to system/apps/
permissions change to rw-r--r--
ownerships changed to root
if its not in my app drawer, i reboot, if it is I go straight to the install of the drivers (both have worked fine for me)
installed V4A driver by granting root
Super Audio Quality
Reboot
Select it as the equalizer in spotify
enjoy

Agreed.
Has anyone tried an audio boost to the headphone out volume with V4A Installed? I like to feel my head shake with bass...but am very picky about quality of sound too. I know on my GS4 any audio boost to TW 4.4.2 caused distortion even if using V4A at 50% media volume @ signal strength= moderate \ Max Gain =x4 \ Max output = -1.9db
Using Klipsch S4A buds - anyone got recommendations for earbuds that go well with V4A on the G3? interested to know thoughts, looking for new ones

I haven't been able to find any thing better or more comprehensive then Viper4Audio for the Max. It will install on anything.
yes viper4max is really great in headphone
but in speaker it doesn't make it loud enough
we need some body to confg the audio file in our max to make it louder like the galaxy phones in samsung
True. I was able to get my speakers sounding better with viper4audio. It looks like the link in the OP is to a mod that installs system sounds (ringtones, notifications ect) that have been re-encoded to have higher volume.
This just replaces the ringtone/notification/system sound files with ones that are modified to be louder. It won't increase the volume of music you play.

I can't seem to get v4a to cooperate with my max...It prompts for driver install, I select the driver I want, su asks permission and then it instantly goes to reboot prompt after granting su
After reboot, v4a continues to inform me that I must first install a driver to use v4a..
Leads me to believe that it is failing to install...What led to your install success on the max?

While it is always nice to have alternatives, if you have to root just go with ViPER4 Android FX A4. You can boost and improve your sound.

in order for V4A to work with poweramp just go into poweramp/settings/adio/advanced tweaks and uncheck direct volume control and should work fine

Will changing values in this app cause an ota to fail? OTA fails when manually making the edits. And if yes, does the ota then work after using the restore values option?

Running the same rom; lollipop variant, Viper4android and LG Music app. Did you check to see if direct audio control in Poweramp is unchecked? It is in the audio/advanced setting. It should be to run Viper4android. I had Poweramp as my DD on my prior phone. I can not run it yet in lollipop. Check that out and report back. Gary
Volume Booser app working very well in this setup.
I heard that there is a lot of confusion about installing ViPER4Android on Nougat. After searching around the web i found a way to do it ^_^ It should work on all Nougat build released until now. Last test on N4F26J
First of all unistall any previous ViPER4Android app.
Requirements:
Root
TWRP
SuperSU 2.78 or higher
BusyBox 1.24.2 or higher installed in \su\xbin
Installation:
Flash ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero.zip in TWRP
Go to vendor\etc and remove/rename audio_effects.conf using any file manager with root access (ex. Root Browser)
Open ViPER4Android app and install driver (Grant root permission). (It could freeze for a few seconds, just be patient!)
Reboot
Disable MusicFX app
Reboot
Done :3
I hope this will help you
Thanks to guitardedhero for the modified zip file
EDIT: fixed google drive link
ElementalX kernel not required. Thanks for the guide.... Enjoy
Works on stock?

viper4android saying not enable and not processing....anyone with the same issue?
for me its only working in compatible mode.. anyone else?
Did not completely work for me. At first when i did the procedure everything was ok,driver installed neon,ok. But when i played native audio or pandora no difference. Also when i plugged in my Fiio K1 DAC it change to not supported abnormal. Tried clean installing into system 3x, edidtin,deleting, the file in vendor. No luck, maybe we just have to wait a bit longer, rom used is Purenexus. Also when i did it,i already had the drive installed.....
---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
UPDATE:
So i did get it working, but i used the Viper 6.01 that guitar user posted in the nexus 5x forum.
Works with only Headphone jack,
NOT with usb out. When using USB out it just dosent work.
Also for some reason my pandora now keeps crashing
BUT IT WORKS, so i think ill keep it. Ill leave the DAC/AMP at home for my laptop, and use the viper limiter at maximum and just up the bass a bit.
All i wanted was to get the bass higher with out maximizing the volume.
Id suggest using arise, it's way better than stock Viper
If I may make a suggestion that will ultimately save you a lot of grief, move to the updated ARISE sound mod by guitardedhero and others. The latest is deuteronomy 2.x and, as opposed to the tweaks, futzing and issues of sound being processed/sticking or not, this is a much simpler install and just works.
Head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709 and just install the base version. You'll get Viper4ARISE. I still flash a permissive kernel zip with my Nougat ROMs, but since I switched to ARISE, V4A has worked flawlessly, and it sounds even better than the old V4A from this thread.
It also removes MusicFX with the install process and I haven't had to disable/remove the audio_effects.conf file either.
Lastly, I'm not sure development is continuing on the base V4A anyway. ARISE is the way to modify your Android sound processing now.

You don't need to AFAIK and it isn't a kernel. V4A used to need SELinux permissive to run, but stock and most custom kernels run enforcing. I just mentioned that I flash a permissive mod out of habit FYI. You are likely better off going to the A.R.I.S.E. threads to discuss issues.

Sorry, but you clearly haven't tested anything at all yet. Speaker optimization isn't that great and yes it mutes it, but that's to avoid the pop and tinny issues with many phone speakers. However, if you use that, then play with the EQ and other settings, you may surprise yourself. That would require more than a 5 second evaluation though.
Have you tried the EQ presets or customized them? What about dynamic sound or the various compressions? How about any number of things most people would play around with before writing something off? These types of tweaks are, after all, the point of a sound mod with a detailed EQ.
Since you admit you haven't even tried headphones, let alone bluetooth and haven't played with the EQ at all, it may just be a wee bit early to pronounce it a failure. And ... the VAST majority of people who use it would disagree.

Hours or days? It takes me a few minutes of playing on a fresh install until I hit what I like. Plus, you can save your settings as a profile. However, it's clear from your responses that you can't be bothered to actually test it. If you have a home stereo, you play around with EQ until you like it. If you listen to music in your car, you set treble and bass, balance and other things. This is no different. How on earth a sound app that, at its heart is an EQ, could be set and forget BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT is beyond me. That's not even the purpose of it. If that's what you want, then you're not looking for a sound mod. The entire point of a sound mod / EQ is to allow people to adjust the sound to their preference for their hardware and listening preferences/context.

ultyrunner is absolutely correct here. The criticisms you have leveled against this project would be considered rude (and a bit ignorant) even if you actually had a solid point to make, or some evidence to back it up. As it stands, you don't have either, and asking a question like "What's the point of installing it if you have to do all the work yourself in that department? I'm not an audio engineer..." is just unthinkable. People specifically poured blood, sweat, and tears into this thing for that exact reason... so that people who aren't engineers can improve their experience via the developer's knowledge. Either you were just being flippant about "having to do all the work yourself" and you don't actually mean that - in which case it would have been preferable for you to just say "thank you but I am having a few problems," et cetera, and be on your way...OR you do actually think you're doing all the work, which is a smack in the face to a developer... a developer whose work you very obviously do not grasp the complexity of, nor the amount of time and effort required to produce said work. Don't bash people's work if you haven't yet evaluated it properly, and most especially make an effort to understand it at a high level before you complain (if you really need to complain at all, which you don't).
I'm sorry, but if I was the developer, seeing a comment/comments like these would be enough for me to close down the project ASAP. And I'm not just pulling that out of my ass, I've been through five or six phones and development communities here on XDA, and I have seen exactly that happen on more than one occasion.
And that's the problem with XDA. People take things to personally. This isn't a forum for babies. We're allowed to express our opinions and concerns here, believe he or not.
I probably will never use the DAC feature as i never use wired anything anymore. I have a pair of Bob Marley headphones and a 2014 Kia soul that I use with the v30. This phone seems to put out no bass at all so I tried to get my Bass Booster Pro app that has been working for the last five years for my bass needs and it wouldn't mod any sound. I went around from site to site getting several recommended bass boosting equalizers but not a single one works(oddly). My previous phone the LG G5 didn't have this problem. I am on pandora a lot and cannot find anything to use with it. I use jetaudio for my mp3s and the effects through it are the only ones that I can hear a difference. But when I increase the bass at all it gets distortion from hell. Bass is actually a stress reliever for me and am trying to figure out what I can salvage with this phone or would it be better to just return it?

Have you setup the hifi settings? Or does hifi not cut it?
its all disabled when i have my Bluetooth headset connected. Its grayed out and it says, "Please disconnect your Bluetooth device."

unfortunately the DAC is activated only by cable. regards
i was trying to get another eq to work but none seem to work. Base Booster Pro doesn't even work like it has for the last 5 phones.
i tried a lot still miss viper or dolby but noozxoide eizo-rewire works pretty well with pandora over blutooth. free on the playstore uninstall any other eq apps first

is noozxoide still working fine for you? I've been experiencing random crashes recently
No, I couldn't get it to work. Seems that the DC is overriding all equalizers even when DC is off. I contacted LG about it but all I was sent in response was how to turn DAC on and I already know how to turn it on and off.

it's a bloody shame that the devs stopped supporting the app, I've used and loved it since 2013

Alright, so at least for my case, I uninstalled Noozoxoide, turned my phone off+wipe cache, and changed the app settings for my native audio-processing app so that it is denied notifications, permissions, removed its default status, and cannot change system settings. After that I reinstalled Noozoxoide and launched it. Interestingly, when I went to settings I saw it was already set as a default app. Just to be certain I went ahead and gave it all the permissions also excluded it from battery optimization. Currently, when playing audio, Noozoxoide is listed under running services (in developer options) as "in use" and "started by application". The native app doesn't show up at all, having apparently been excluded from being used. So far Noozoxoide hasn't had any problems with crashing or being taken over by the native app.

So what app exactly did you deny notifications, permissions, and remove its default status? The native audio-processing app on my device (Verizon V30) is the Hi-Fi Quad DAC. Can't find an app associated with it anywhere...

simply switching it off doesn't work? can you find it under your system apps in your app manager? It might not be listed as "Hi-Fi Quad DAC" word-for-word.
Install "Ainur JamesDSP v1.7" Magisk module and choose the HQ 64bit driver
Install "Audio Modification Library v.1.8.1" Magisk module
Reboot
Configure JamesDSP app
Confirmed working (speakers & headphones (can't test bluetooth)) on my FIG-LX1 (L31) - EMUI 8.0.0.148(C432) - Magisk v17.1
Edit: If you don't want ringtones/notification-sounds to be processed, switch DSP registration from global to conventional. (3dot menu - top right, screenshot added)
Huge thanks to natanrosenfeld (he made a YT video, explaining a fix for previous version (now fixed with v1.7)) - and especially the JamesDSP dev team!
Great news I seen it on .android-hilfe.de myself
Messing around and cant seem to get it right, either too loud or doesnt work
Viper4android was much easier to setup, using Huawei DTS.irs or srs_2_1.irs then not much else and worked great

Have you tried using the same impulse response files with JamesDSP?
Copy the .irs (or .wav, .flac) to /storage/emulated/0/JamesDSP/Convolver and enable Convolver in JamesDSP.
Works great here.

Can you send screenshot of what you have, not sure on other settings

Even if we'd share the exact same setup (e.g. settings/IR xy sound great with my Shure SE425 in-ear headphones, but not so great with my AKG Q701) and preference of music, it would still be incredibly subjective and mainly based on taste. Certified sound-engineers would probably disagree, I guess
My suggestion is: leave every (other) option off, download a pack of different IRs (e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/collection-convolver-samples-389-t3140299) and try each one out. If you found one you like, (slightly) tune it with the EQ. At least that's my "non-pro" approach.
Mostly all I want is to make the phone louder, well the phone speaker, on Bluetooth speakers etc it's fairly OK
Next issue is echo sound on ringtone and notification
I'll try IRS out and maybe someday have Viper4android
It's a system-wide audio-mod, so yes, if you have e.g. Virtual Room Effect turned on or use a noticably "reverberating" impulse response file, you'll experience echo on ringtones/notification-sounds too.
I've managed to make the speakers slightly louder by choosing the highest IR Volume Level (30dB), but I think the device's speaker volume level/overall sound-quality is just physically limited. They are not the "best" speakers after all.

I noticed the room effect and turned it off, but just using Irs or some of them and seemed to be an echo,
Speaker is good enough, it is only a phone after all, there are small bluetooth speakers now that have great volume to help
A nice guy from the Telegram channel pointed out, that you can avoid processing system sounds (ringtones/notification) by switching DSP registration mode from global to conventional (screenshot added to OP).
YEEEES!!!! This mod is also working on Huawei P20Pro with EMUI8.1.. I just follow the same steps above. Thanks a lot man!

Hi do you know if I can change mixer path values without root and using adb on pc? , I'm trying to raise volume of WhatsApp calls, calls and maybe a bit of loud speaker volume but I'm trying to avoid root etc. Thanks any advice would be appreciated or a link to tutorials. I'm on psmart. Thanks again

Sorry - I'm not an expert, so don't take my word for it - but I don't think that's possible, since all these files are stored in locations, where (non root) users don't have write permissions. Even with a rooted and/or custom recovery device, I don't think it's possible to alter app-specific volumes by just changing mixer_paths.xml values.

Sorry I know I mentioned whats app but really I just mean overall volume. With my moto g5 I was able to edit mixer path values which led to louder everything. But that was only with root as I'm new to adb. Thanks for your response

In case your bootloader is unlocked, iirc you could theoretically fastboot flash TWRP - and use TWRP's "privileged" terminal (e.g. (mount /system), adb pull/push and edit the file(s)), and then (re)flash stock recovery again - without actually rooting the device.
Again, I'm not an expert (also didn't try it myself) and can't guarantee above mentioned procedure works, despite my inner-Sherlock-Holmes tells me, your bootloader is actually not unlocked.

Yeah still locked dude, tried DC unlocker but they refunded as I'm on latest security patch and admitted there is nothing they can do right now.
