I think this mod is still very unkown, that's why I'm posting it here. Especially because I consider the Samsung Galaxy Players (4 and 4.2 because of DAC) as a music player with android benefits.
So I tried several mods and players and mods will always effect the sound quality more than the music player.
Yes right, it doesn't matter which music player you use, whether it's PlayerPro or PowerAMP, because you have to disable the built in EQ anyways. I tried AcidAudio with Walkman Player and thought wow. Then I tried Noozxoide with Noozyplayer and thought this was the best.
Today I found out about this mod: [OFFICIAL][MOD] ViPER4Android (V4A) Audio Effects - Android 2.3 / 4.0 / 4.1 / 4.2 by Zhuhang
I recommend you to try this!
I'm using PowerAMP and first you have to disable Direct Volume Control. Then click on the built in Equalizer and disable EQU, TONE and LIMIT.
Now install the right version of ViPER4Android FX as described (first Manager apk,reboot , then Viper apk) and then install ViPER4Android XHiFi as described. After this you can start your music, start Viper and test what sound fits your ears.

I might install this... Do you recommend installing FX or XHiFi?
Both.
Both have some same options. so deactivate this options in FX and try them in XHiFi. So they can coexist. Some options will use more CPU, so find out what fits you best

Wow, thanks for this. Working like a charm.
Much better sound quality
I only installed the ViPER4Android FX though.
The installation process was too annoying and didn't work at first, so I didn't want to bother anymore, when I had it running.
Which processor did you choose?

Thanks!!! I'll try this out later just a question, does this affect battery life and Ram usage to much??
For me it's about the same as using power amp by itself.

LOL, I discovered it the same way as you!
But I can't find a way to make it work with PlayerPro. I just ignores V4A. I think in only recognizes the built-in EQ. How do I disable it?
Thanks in advance!
For me the Viper Mods work very well. I' using powerAmp so I just disabled the DVC.
If you want to increase the effect you should download some Viper Audio Kernels :victory:
New version
Just to let everyone who loves this app, there was an updated release for 4.3. I personally tried it and can't get it to work for my SGP5. Tried everything, followed step by step instructions, went into system/lib/soundfx and deleted driver, tried installing driver 5+times all with reboots, still nothing. All this done all day Sunday after finally upgrading to 4.3 (been putting it off since viper4A was not release for 4.3 yet). I would post on OP but i'm a long time lurker and just got around to creating an account here.
Update: gave up for now on it, tried pm'ing zhuhang about the driver loop issue but he had the same idea i had and just to wait for new release this weekend.
on the upside this situation forced me to experiment with other apps, some may be familiar with noozxide's pro app, which i tried and found lacking. But his e-series version does add a noticeable punch to bass while keeping mid - high range. may wanna try it out if you get bored.

Found this, works great. Pretty major improvement in sound quality. I used Dolby Digital Plus Universal.

-Backup

Have any of you used viper4android? Does this make things even better?
Yes I use viper either you notice the difference in sound Viper gives more in tune sound setting...Dolby has preset tunes music movies games & manual tuning
i was checking around and i found this ! (working link)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UDxyI8zS_0
I'm looking for a good music app with a fairly decent and modern UI? My favorite music player is n7 Player, but it's not compatible with Dolby Atmos and disables it, so everything else sounds horrible. I've also tried it with v4A, and it does something to it when you get a notification or call and you have to restart your phone for it to work correctly again.
I've tried A BUNCH of them, let me list what I have not and what I've tried.
What I have:
Could Player (by Double Twist) - My current main music app = Good features, but fairly "bland" in the UI dept, but not ugly or outdated - just "bland"
Shuttle + has been my simple, backup player for over 4 years - Just not a not of features, but very reliable and I never have problems with it
XenoAmp = I just started using this one last month, still not sure about it?? Very different, not too logically laid out
What I've tried (most, just this week):
The stock app... Nobody uses the stock app (I don't like it)
PowerAmp (alpha) - Can't stand the UI
Neutorn - Can't stand the UI, reminds me of an 80s video game
Pulse - Is basically like Shuttle
Music Player (by Ankit P Agrawal) - Just found this one, evaluating it before I purchase it
Timber - Not all the album art downloads
AIMP - Didn't like
PlayerPro - I bought the pro version this week, way too laggy and buggy - freezes up, won't change songs
JetAudio HD - Nice, has a noticable volume drop on the speakers - Also has a boring UI
Rocket Player - Love it, but the Cloud Expansion pack crashes the app and makes it unusable. Without it, over half my album art is missing.
Wave Music Player - Don't like
Minima - Still in beta and not a lot of features
Black Player - Didn't like
Pi Music player - didn't like
Flatnote - Didn't like (not all album art downloaded)
Stellio Music Player - I bought it over a year ago, just don't like it
Dub Music Player - didn't like
Phonograpy - didn't like
Vortex - Didn't like
Crimson - Didn't like
Abbey - I wanted to like this one, but didn't load all album art
There's been so many more I've tried, some I didn't like, about 4 or 5 completely disabled Dolby Atmos...... But maybe someone has one I haven't tried?
If you ask what I like??
I want n7 to work again, dang it!
Dark Theme
Easy access to Artist and then an album lay-out under Artist
I'd like an EQ I can use along with Dolby, that doesn't disable it or override it.
A nice "now playing" screen
Album and artist art download for all, or most, of my 2500+ songs
Try Music from Sony. Either search for a port or use the one which can be installed during the installation of Viper arise.
They included one more optional music player called Esira. Just tried it once but I prefer the one from Sony.
Google Play Music is compatible with Dolby and it gets the job done for me.
I'm also using sony music app

Going to try it. loving neutron at the moment, wish they cleaned up UI.
Update: listened it for a bit... I approve the app, will be buying pro version to show support.
I've been using Rocket Player and Jet Audio and I like them both. However, I also have ARISE installed and let that take care of audio enhancement. For me, it comes down to which UI I like best.
Poweramp paid version
I've got the paid/pro versions of:
Jet Audio - Didn't like the fact it didn't load all my album art
Rocket Player - If I want my album art, I have to use the Cloud add-on and it constantly crashses the app. Support thinks its some of my song causing the issue, but can't tell me which ones (even with a catlog).
PowerAmp (my first Android purchase several years ago) - Can't stand the outdated UI any more.
I tried the evaluation period of Neutron, exclusively, and tried to like the UI....But couldn't
This is the newest one I've found that I really like the UI on - But you can't use the built in EQ the same time as Doly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ankit.musicplayer.pro
I'm going to look for the Sony app and try it.

You should think about your collection then. Jet audio so far has loaded every single one of my album art and i have 4502 songs

Not sure why, then, Jet Audio won't load 75% of my album art, or artist art? May be because some of it is stuff I've had for 20 years?
But, in saying that... The other two players find 95% of the art?
In the pics, the 1st one is Jet, the 2nd one is Music (Ghost music), the 3rd is Cloud music (by Double Twist)
onkyo.
"err on the side of kindness"
Kind of liking Gone Mad Music player... It's pretty powerful and customizable at the same time, all while being 100% compatible with Dolby Atmos. So, you can leave Dolby on and turn on the Gone Mad EQ and tweak it more and Dolby Atmos stays on. It also populated most of the album art. Artist art is just a list, but I guess I'd rather have it all one way instead of missing an artist picture.
Double Twist Cloud Player is what I've been using for the past 6 months and still like it, I guess I'm just a little bored of the UI - But it is also compatible with Dolby Atmos in the same way.
I like the Sony music app (found it in the Apps & Games section here on XDA), but it only uses the system EQ (Dolby Atmos), which is fine for a quick and easy music app.....But I'd like to be able to use Dolby Atmos along with an apps built in EQ to fine tune my audio player without the need to adjust Dolby each time I need to fine tune my EQ, because Dolby is not the easiest to do a fine tune adjustment to.... You have to start all over when you touch it.

I'm stock rooted 7.1.1.
Here's the one I used: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...sony-xperia-music-9-3-5-0-0-port-apk-t3555386
The problem with most of the players around is that they don't play every format. I use VLC (nightly version). It just plays everything.

That'd the issue. I used the apk from APKMirror. Thanks
I've been using the Gone Mad Music Player for the past week now and I think this may have filled the void I was missing with a music app! Looks GREAT, sounds GREAT, very customizable, easy to use and all my album art fills in.
I have purchased gone mad power amp and neutron. After setting them up I like the sound you can get out of neutron the most. Ui is rough learning curve is rough but the sound is sweet.
The new very stable poweramp beta is amazing
Yep. I found an awesome solution. There's a stable beta in production of poweramp. I know... Great UI.... Mediocre sound, right? Not anymore. It's absurdly good. Whole new build focused on audiophile sound quality. Its literally the best sounding player I've used on android and I have some good earphones.
To get it to work with dolby atmos you need to change a setting. Under Audio/output / select high res output (experimental). Works beautifully on the axon. Poweramps eq is much better than dolby's 4 band and you can use it with dolby.
Under advanced tweaks / enable musicfx.
There is also an experimental feature to add more volume notches in the audio volume control in the advanced tweaks section.
With the right pair of headphones this player sounds ridiculously good! Make sure your axon is set to headset hi-fi in the sound settings.
Just Google search poweramp beta it might be available on the bottom of the poweramp Google play page as well.
Audio nirvana!
Cheers!
After extensive music search i never thought this music app can beat doulby atmos or other music mods likes v4a.
Yes i definitely say without tuning anything this music app is giving awsome music experience in real 3D sound effect.
Along with v4A this is cherry on ice scream.
Overview of app and settings :
https://youtu.be/EZAbeLawjgQ
Download the app: (unreleased free version)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tamalbasak.musicplayer3d
What app gives:
1) its a music app with great 3d equilizer control.
2)looks awesome with material desing
How to:
1)Open app configure it give all permissions
2)enable virtual3d and surround 3d tab
3)) set equizer as per u r Requiment but i recommend keep all stock because there will be some sound distortion
4)now all is done but if you want more great sound
Then u need v4A
Open app and Enable spectrum extension tab
Field surround tab , diffential surround tab, viper clarity tab.
Done
Now play music only via 3D music 7.1 app only
Feel the difference.
Specially how can i describe sound is like i am hearing music sound separated for each ear phones pairs sitting in larg cinema hall sound is coming from All directions that's aswome though such effects are available for doulby and v4a but here that impact is very good as compared to them.
May be earphones are also reposible for best sound.
Here earphones i am using

I test it, you must close developer options to run the app, didn't work with root or bootloader open, but you can use magiskhide for this

How is the sound? Can u plz tell users
The sound it's similar to Dolby Atmos effect, more spacial if now the tool hasn't restrictions i test it again.
So this sound mod only works within the app and not on apps like youtube or spotify?
This sound effect was kind of cringy for me. Using v4a audiophile on liquidremix pie... Does this really sound nice to you guys? For me it felt like sitting high in a sewer... But there was alot of settings I didn't bother playing with, that's nice I guess... And why do I need to use magisk hide to run it

Its 3d effect is awsome but along with v4a is more awsome . donts use audiophile profile just enable tabs that i mentioned in video for v4a and keep all stock settings for music app too make sure virtual 3d and 7. 1 surround effect is enabled.
And then play music.

Disable developer option, hide app from Root in magisk.
Open app Configure it then after that you can enable developers option but always hide it from root

I hear a Ms latency only (differential surround in v4a) with this and audiophile, I'll try this with your settings and see how it works out
Over the years I have probably tried almost everything there is to try of the high-end and higher-end(Free,paid and costly)type music player applications out there.Currently running the 7+1 Surround Sound and 3D based X3 Music Player was in fact an actually startling surprise sound wise,I can recall.So natural,with an audio transparency so visible and audio tactile that I actually teared up from emotional sensory overload the first time I listened to it.And still may do yet,for the very same reason.But I will definitely also try this combination.
So only with mp3s and only with headphones? On top of that you have to install a module, disable dev options (cringy), hide from magisk just to open?
Basically this tells me "IF" this module were to brick my phone I would be SOL due to no longer having dev options enabled..... Thank you for the work but I'll pass on this one.

Its not deal breaking and it will not brick anything.
3d virtual surround sound is top notch as compared to any mod like v4a, doulby atmos or audiofx
I know that this defies the purpose. However, I would like to check is ti possible to add default MIUI phone and music app to aosp rom (for instance mokee rom)?
I really like AOSP roms, expecially the option of direct reply from lockscreen to notifications (from nougat onwards, but I sorely miss the MIUI phone app which allows of recording phone calls with no additional apps needed, and music app which (in my humble opinion) has superior sound quality (and the interface is nice.)
Any opinions?
