For those who stayed on Gingerbread or returned to Gingerbread, here's a fully functioning way to get sound enhancements to work.
I got these files a long time ago. I cant find any posts on xda relating to this so im posting this.
Instructions:
Extract the zip file,
Copy files within the zip to their respective locations manually and replace,
Better use X-plore with root privileges, I found it easier.
Sometimes the effects might not work and sound enhancement crashes. So copy the apps{semcmusic and sound enhancements after replacing the libs ,etc and framework }.
You can also try clearing the app data of sound enhancements.
This is my first post, im not sure if this is a duplicate post, although i have done a good search.

hey all,
This is the stock Camera app based on Eryigit's Chinese-based stock. (I think that this is the right subforum...) You'll need to-
1) be rooted
2) have a deodexed ROM
( 3) You'll probably have to be on a Gingerbread-based rom [vs CM, ICS, whatever])
======
While the stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 Camera app had a silent mode (if I'm remembering correctly....), flashing the Eryigit mod left me with a noisy little camera app. (I believe that this is due to the legalities regarding the int'l source of the stock firmware [ie the gov'ts decided that guerilla upskirt shootings were a bad thing. While true, why not try to get the people to stop instead of hampering tech? ug, people!])
I couldn't find anything to replace the camera app online (other silent Camera apps didn't work, disabling the /system/media/UI/audio shutter sound files didn't work [the sounds are "baked in" the apk], the advertised build.prop script was a no go, and Camera ICS was close, but flipped the viewscreen- seriously annoying). After decompiling and getting stumped by the code (no Java or smali training and no real desire to learn, atm), I just decided to edit the .ogg files (in the raw folder) to play nothing. It's a dirty, little method, but it works.
========
Process
Make a backup of your stock Camera.apk (found in your /system/app folder; you can use Root Explorer or Ghost Commander, or ES File Manager if it's rooted.) just in case.
a) Place this file in your root folder.
b) Change the permissions to 644 or Owner read and write, group and everyone else read only. (via terminal or Root Explorer)
c) move the file to your /system/app folder.
Done.
====
Use
The only sounds I've enabled are
I) Shutter sound 1
II) Shutter sound 3
III) Camera timer.
(In case you like sound. For no shutter sound, select shutter sound 2 in Settings. The camcorder has no sound available though.)
====
PS. If you're odexed (you see/have .odex files) I believe that deleting the Camera.odex (after backup, of course) and replacing the Camera.apk file will work. Again, back them up, just in case.
PPS If something like this was already available, then ...oops. I was not in the know
====
It's nice to have options.
Does anyone know of a way to remove the Beats Icon short of flashing a ROM that has it done already? The ROM I'm on has it enabled. I've done quite a bit of searching and the only thing I'm really coming up with is the old way of disabling HTC Beats Notify and one way of completely deleting Beats audiio off the phone which involves lots of files in system/bin to be deleted.
MeanBean 3.09 has an aroma installer zip after you install the rom that has an option to disable beats audio notification. if someone could possibly extract that and create a flashable zip, i'm sure it would work on any sense-based rom.
I have seen many posts regarding the buzzing or static noise come out of the phone speaker for any sound after flashing an audio engine or mod. My phone suffered the same thing so I decided to play around with the mod and system files and I found the solution. It was the modified AudioFilter.CSV that was contained in the audio mod or engine causing the static noise. Here is the solution.
1. Go to system/etc
2. Find a file named AudioFilter.CSV
3. Copy it to the root of your sd card
4. Then flash your audio mod or engine like normal
5. When reboot is done, use a root browser or explorer to open your sd card
6.copy the copied AudioFilter.CSV file into system/etc and restart
7. And bingo! You have fixed the problem and still keep the modified audio of the audio engine or mod
It seems to work for most audio mod or engine.

The AudioFilter.CSV file that is copied to your sd card must be from your ROM's original and not modified with any audio mod or engine
Works for any phone or ROM
I am not reponsible for any damage to your phone, hardware or software.

So I know many of you enjoyed using this amazing mod in the past and something in our builds caused it to break after 4.3.1 roms started rolling out. Look no further as i have a fix for you that is guaranteed to work again.
Step 1.) For the first step you will need to edit your build.prop file found in /system folder. Personally i use Rom Toolbox lite (found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en) as it comes with a built in build.prop editor and root browser and it is free. Some of these edits may already be in your build.prop so check the edits posted below to see if they are already there or just need a slight change before just adding it as having 2 of the same edits with a different value may conflict with eachother
the edits are:
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
tunnel.audiovideo.decode=false
it may ask to reboot on some or just one of these but we can skip rebooting for now. once set we can now move forward.
Before starting the next step MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE AND UNINSTALL DSP MANAGER. you can do so via app manager in ROM Toolbox Lite.
Step 2.) Now we download viper4android according to your rom version. For 4.3.1 roms get this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android4x&hl=en
Once downloaded and installed you will now have to copy and paste it from /data/app to system/app. When it finishes copying over delete the app from /data/app as it will not work otherwise. Make sure permissions are properly set to rw-r--r-- or 0644 in numerical terms. Rom Toolbox will make this whole process easier and faster.
At this point you will now reboot your device for the next step
Step 3.) Once rebooted open the app and it will have you install its driver Select cortex A8 option (3rd one down). It will ask to reboot but dont do it yet. Last thing to do is while in viper4android app hit the sttings button and you will see a long list of things. Select FX Compatible Mode and switch from Normal to Compatible mode and now you reboot for it to take effect and work.
After this you are all set to start setting your sound otions in viper4android and enjoy
I Give great Thanks to:
@zhuhang for making this great app/mod
@jrummy for creating rom toolbox (another amazing app)
@Bradl79 for the build.prop idea
@bbgreen for confirming this works
And Anyone else i may have missed
If i have PM me and ill gladly add them in
So far for the headset option i have the following enabled and set
Under MASTER POWER:
Enable V4A-FX is checked and powered on
Under FIREQUALIZER:
Enabled is checked and powered on
Select Preset is set to Rock
Under DYNAMIC SYSTEM:
Enable is checked
Select Listening Device is set to Common Earphone (v2)
Select Dynamic Bass is set to 2 percent
Under FIDELITY CONTROL:
Enable ViPER Bass is checked
Select Bass Mode is set to Natural Bass
Select Bass Frequency is set to 100Hz
Enable ViPER Clarity is checked
Select Clarity Mode is set to XHiFi
Select Clarity is set to 3.5 db
thats all i have set for now but i'm using skullkandy heaphones with this setup will vary for other headphone brands and models. with this setup it gets very loud and clear as well as amazing bass so dont damage your eardrums lol

Been trying to get this to work for a while as well as you may recall from past comments. Sure this guide will produce a desired "universal" sound effect as before? I had no luck with SoundCloud getting processed by V4A after this. However, I may needed to retry steps verbatim on a fresh ROM install too as I had some other conflicting things to clean up along the way.
Idk about soundcloud...I does work like it did before in Apollo...my guess is that its directing to basic sound while using other apps or stuff like soundcloud

Nice find Rev! Works great.
Thanks for the write up I just tried it. Unfortunately it only seems to work with Apollo. When I try it with Power Amp or Pandora it no longer works. On my old sense 4.0 ROM viper4android would modify those programs as well Ive tried the current version and the version off the play store with the same results. Thanks for the write up though very easy to follow.
Please post any questions about Viper4Android here not just 4.3 ROMs.

How To Bake Viper4Android into a ROM zip (BASED OFF OFF v.2322)
@REV3NT3CH Consider adding this to the thread (Not trying to hijack the thread) this may be super long
@PTuT @Chucktr you asked for a pm of how to bake v4a into a rom, i decided to post it here for everyone
If you dont want to download the apk and install the apk/drivers you can merge the drivers and app from your pc.
ill probably end up making a script for this but right now i don't mind copying it into new builds for now
Latest apk - http://www.mediafire.com/download/z1mqg58hz1sfais/ViPER4Android_FX_v2322.zip
driver - http://d-h.st/xHh
driver config - http://d-h.st/axM
i usually use 7zip for archive viewer ect..
1. Open the rom zip in 7zip or whatever you choose to use
2. In 7zip navigate to "system/priv-app/" and drag/drop the apk you downloaded into the 7zip window.
3. In 7zip back out of the "prive-app" folder and navigate to "system/lib/soundfx/" and drag/drop libv4a_fx_ics.so you downloaded into the 7zip window
4. in 7zip back out of "soundfx" & "lib" and navigate to "system/ect/" and drag/drop audio_effects.conf you downloaded into the 7zip window
Exit 7zip, Now you have the app and driver baked in the rom :good:
Now what happens when any of this stuff gets update?.... well
Drag/drop the latest apk to priv-app (obviously lol)
The Driver can be pulled from the inside the apk in the assets folder using 7zip. Use any of the drivers containing "libv4a_fx_ics_NEON" based on the quality of the driver they are named different but i use libv4a_fx_ics_NEON_HQ, rename it to libv4a_fx_ics.so and copy it to the rom zip
We cant use the JB drivers on jb or kk, only ics
i dont know how often audio_effects.conf gets updated but just add the fallowing to the audio_effects.conf in the rom zip (ONLY IF NEEDED) the download link above should be good fine good for a while:
Line 9 to 11 :
v4a_fx {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
}
Line 69 to 72:
v4a_standard_fx {
library v4a_fx
uuid 41d3c987-e6cf-11e3-a88a-11aba5d5c51b
}
all of this is based off of v.2322 so i cannot guarantee this to work within the next year or so ect... if someone updated something

The BLU R1 HD ships with very annoying and horrible SystemUI sounds. Luckily, it is very simple to replace them with the normal AOSP ones. I realize than not everyone wants to go through the trouble of searching for the Android SystemUI sounds and putting them together in the system. That's why I made this pack.
What's included?
SystemUI sounds from AOSP including...
Touch/click sounds
Keyboard sounds
Camera shutter and focus sounds
All original stock sounds, prefixed with "Stock_" for backup purposes.
How to install...
Download the attached zip file
Extract it using your favourite extractor
Copy all files inside to /system/media/audio/ui/, replacing any existing files using your favourite root file manager.
Reboot
Profit???
FAQ
Q: I have no SystemUI sounds at all!
A: You must enable them. Touch sounds are in Sound & notification, under the audio profile settings. Keyboard sounds are somewhere in the settings of your keyboard app, so you'll have to find them yourself.
Q: I want to go back to the stock SystemUI sounds.
A: Simply delete all the files in /system/media/audio/ui/ that have "Stock_" counterparts and rename the "Stock_" counterparts to remove the "Stock_"
Q: I don't have a root file manager or zip extractor.
A: I used ES File Explorer. Amaze File Manager is better. You can find it on the Google Play Store.
Will add more as needed...
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to reply to this thread.

Would be better if you made this into a flashable zip

I'll look into that.
I follow the instructions to the t and now I have no sound. Every sound option is enabled and nothing. I even deleted the files and rename the "stock_" but nothing. Please advice.
