This Guide helps on configuring the A.R.I.S.E. (Auditory Research in Sound Enhancement) Sound System, including Viper4ARISE, in your Axon 7. This fixes the low volume problem for the EU version of AXON 7 2017G and increases the quality in all the models. Among other features it reconstruct the signal for streaming audio, increasing the spectrum and bringing more detail to the sound. It is also compatible with Dolby ATMOS. The official thread is complicated since it offers a lot of different options. Here I try to provide an easy and straightforward guide for beginners. After a while you will be able to get into the universe of profiles, settings and extras explained in the official thread.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Since this package modifies your system partition, it requires unlocked bootloader and root.
- Another requirement is to have the Busybox patch. If your root method is not including it, just grab one of the many free Busybox Apps from Play Store.
WARNINGS:
- Since this module is not systemless, in case of an OTA upgrade you will need to reflash the stock system before performing an OTA upgrade, apply the upgrade and then reinstall the Sound System.
- Unfortunately there is no uninstaller so keep a backup of your system partition before proceeding with the installation.
DOWNLOADS:
For a safe installation begin using ARISE Deuteronomy 2.2.3 Patched. Some people likes better the sound athmosphere provide by this version. The latest stable release ARISE Deuteronomy 2.3.3 and other versions can be found in the official thread. However 2.2.3 patched has proven to be very stable and fully compatible with our device. Later on you can test upgrading to the current or another release.
Since ARISE Sound Systems rewrites the audio configuration depending on your settings, you may need the Dolby ATMOS add-on too to recover this feature.
You'll have to flash it using TWRP recovery 3.0.3 or Flashfire app.
INSTALLATION:
STEP 0: Ensure you have a backup of your system partition and you have downloaded the ARISE Sound System to the internal or external storage of your phone.
STEP 1: Disable Dolby ATMOS.
STEP 2: Flash ARISE Sound System version 2.2.3 patched either using TWRP or Flashfire.
STEP 3: Reboot, play some music, open Viper4ARISE, activate the master switch for your headset and enjoy. Save your current configuration in the hamburger menu before testing new settings. You can also tune the phone speakers, bluetooth and external USB DAC settings.
STEP 4 (Optional): If Dolby ATMOS is not working after applying the patch, Flash the Dolby ATMOS add-on.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
- If ask for driver installation then Open your favorite file explorer and go to: /vendor/etc and rename audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak, reboot and follow step 3 again.
- Ensure you have unlocked the system partition by typing reboot disemmcwp in the system or TWRP terminal or ADB shell. and repeat from step 1.
MY SETTINGS:
My recommendation is to leave Dolby ATMOS disabled unless you are watching a movie or concert. You do not have to disable Viper4ARISE when using Dolby ATMOS, however do never mix surround or spatial processing in both, it will be a mess. I share my general settings as an starting point, however you can experiment with all the parameters to find the sweet spot for your gear. Do not forget to save your current configuration in the hamburger menu before testing new settings, it is hard to remember the detailed configuration afterwards:
Check that the Headset HiFi setting in your Phone settings is set to Super. and for Viper4Arise set:
Master Power ON
Spectrum Extension ON (only for low quality streaming)
- Strength: 0.2
Dynamic System ON (Headset Only)
- Listening Device: Common Earphone v2
- Dynamic Bass: 18% for acoustic music and high dynamic range sources, up to 29% when listening dance/electronic
ViPER Bass OFF (only activate it if your headphones require extra Bass. In my case I have it disabled).
- Bass Mode: Natural
- Bass Frequency: 40hz
- Bass Boost: 13dB
VIPER Clarity ON (It can bring up pretty good detail to the sound).
- Clarity Mode: Natural
- Clarity: 6dB
Master Gate (Limiter)
- Channel Pan:0%
- Output Gain: 2.3dB (set more if you want more output volume without making quantization noise audible)
- Limit Threshold: 0dB
After setting it, just toggle the master switch several times to hear the difference. You will realize how much quality can be extracted from this excellent Axon 7 hardware.
How was your experience?
I love this mod, but every once in a while (like at least once or twice a day) I have to disable/ re-enable V4a or restart my phone because something goes wrong with it and it turns off (but shows it's on), like the driver unloads? So, I came back to the stock Dolby Atmos.
Hello, I'm having issues having viper to download drivers, for some reason, I am unable to rename audio_effects.conf with either es file explorer or root explorer despite es file explorer saying renamed successfully but it wouldn't change or show after reboot. I made sure they both have root permission. I have also checked if I have busybox installed but it came with systemless root. Root Switch shows selinux is set to permissive. So i'm scratching my head trying to figure out what the issue is.
PS. forgot to mention my bootloader is also unlocked.

Did you ever do a "reboot disemmcwp"?
If not, turn on usb debugging, connect the phone to your computer and do a "adb reboot disemmcwp".
This disables the write protection on /system.

Dolby ATMOS is meant for movies or concerts. Music sounds horrible with Dolby ATMOS.
I have been using this mod for about a week now in this device without any issue. I have tested the three proposed versions, and I have: the bootloader unlocked, F2FS filesystem, root, Xposed (all 9 modules working) and SafetyNet below this sound system.
What ROM are you using? Have you unlocked your system partition by doing a reboot disemmcwp in the terminal or adb shell? What version of ARISE Sound Systems are you using? How did you root your phone? Perhaps we could help you on this.

You can try setting up V4A in enforcing mode using this guide.
for me it doesn't work, it ask for install drivers every time i reboot, and for no reason selinux don't stay to permissive after reboot (with selinuxmodechangerv3.2).
so i have abnormal statuts in viper4arise.
i try with stock b06, stock b08 and stock b09, it never work for me (maybe is because of b09 bootstack).
i also cannot use xposed framework anymore with b09, i can install it but if i activate any mod and reboot my phone bootloop.

> I used the latest 2.3.3, flashed it twice in the past month (also tried an older one, but not sure which one)? Also flashed just V4a, with the same issue
> I'm running Z.A.D. Mix7 (V.3) ROM

But... the reason I went to ARISE, was because I wanted to use my favorite music player, n7 music player..... Which isn't compatible with Dolby Atmos. So, the issue may have been with n7? I'm currently trying to decide between XenoAmp and Double Twist Cloud Player as my player of choice. I also used PowerAmp for about 4 years, even ran the beta (build 703) up until about 3 months ago, but am tired of the same Gingerbread style UI it's had for the past 3 or 4 years.
So, that's where I'm at.... I may try it again without n7?

Try rooting your device using this method. The root includes Xposed (I have 8 modules up and running) and everything should be working. Probably using HelsAx7 as the base ROM could solve your problem.

PowerAmp and Player PRO are the best in sound quality, the second is even better. And both seem to be working fine with Viper4ARISE. What kind of source are you playing (bandwidth and bitdepth)?
This makes my music sound sweet! I don't know if anyone experienced this but my phone has 0% sleep and is always 100% awake and heats up like an oven after flashing this I restored my backup and it's okay now

You can use wake lock detector to check what's wrong. The package is pretty stable. Could you please provide some more info (device, ROM, root method, media player, ARISE version, Viper4A configuration...)?

I'm wondering if you can help me with another issue I'm experiencing since I last posted here. My battery started draining really fast since I flashed the audio patch, I'm aware that's normal for viper but this is abnormal since the battery drains when the phone is not in use and it tends to stay warm. I have never had this issue when I had viper on my note 4.
The steps I have done for my phone:
Root method by jcadduono’s official thread in your safety net guide with success.
Done all steps with safetynet steps from above with success.
And I did the audio upgrade from this thread with success by using your preferred one.
And that's when my phone started draining more than it usually does for viper and being slight warm when not in use. I have already done a wipe before I did all these methods.
EDIT: Someone already mentioned the issue I'm having and I did not see that on mobile. I'm running all of those on A2017U stock rom running on b29 for additional info. I used stock music player, usb audio player pro (eXtream Software Development) for external dac and Equalizer + (DJiT) which i rarely use. I'll install wakelock detecter and ill report back what I find.

you need to check all other roms yourself, please check and comment in your own responsibility. I am not responsible for any damage to the phone

UPDATE !!!
Can confirm it works on (Q) The Pixel Rom R26 in Background (Remote Service has stopped)
Yes you hear right. You can install it in your redmi 9 MIUI 12. But you have to root your device. Without root it will not work.
First of all, make sure that Your Magisk is updated to the latest version.
Now, Install the V4fx.apk(from this post) app on your phone.
Open the App but, Don’t install drivers in the app.
Minimize the app in the background and open the Magisk Manager.
Go to Menu>Downloads and search Audio Modification Library.
Install the AML module and permissiver.zip(from this post), Don’t reboot your device.
Go back to the Viper4FX app and Click on the Install driver button.
Your Device will reboot automatically.
After device reboots, Open Magisk manager and Go to Modules.
Uncheck the Audio Modification library (don’t remove).
Open the Viper4FX app again and click Ok to install the driver.your device reboot automatically..
You successfully install it. But there is a problem. Install the driver correctly. But no sound modification will available. Because neon is not enabled. You have to enable it. After many research I found a solution. go to viper4fx and open setting then enable legacy mode...
Do not forget to thanks me if you can successfully install it...good bye
Update. (For Miui only)
when you restart your phone then you see that the YouTube is suddenly stop working. I found a solution for this. You need to install termux emulator and run this command
su
setenforce 1
setenforce 0
Problem is solved...
Remember...
In many gsi their are a audio modified app called 'Audio Fx '...you must disable it to get audio effect from viper4fx
