Just bought the phone. Audio quality is great.
I tried all 3 firmwares available in flymeos site and in 6.1.3 with root capability ran the dumpsys media. audio_flinger command in terminal while playing a 24/96 file and from output I saw that it was downsampled to 48000 hz.
Sadly cannot test the other 2 firmwares because of not root capability. (6.3 and 7) . I think the dac supports direct audio playback of HD files with no downsampling. It is probably a software issue. Any comments or solution maybe.?
Edit 22/8 tried the dumpsys command again with terminal emulator with flyme 7 after rooting and it seems all hd files are still downsampling to 48000 hz
Edit 9/9 (flyme 7 rooted)tried the 3 players usb audio player pro ,poweramp, neutron . With usb audio player pro and poweramp i used the hires drivers and hires output playing 24/96 files and the dumpsys command shows that they get downsampled to 16/44 the same with neutron that doesnt has a hires menu in our phone.
The good news is that when we play 16/44 they dont get 16/48 like in other phones but they are played as they are.
Edit 13-12 i finally make direct hd playback without downsampling to happen .i edited my audio policy configuration xml (system/etc)and entered some values you can see them below in the attachement (added 88200 96000 and 192000 in the lines that are related to 32bit audio and headphone.) I tried it with usb audio player pro and poweramp and it works . Also ran the dumpsys command to be sure
There are some bugs during playback but after reboot of the phone all works. with uapp i play for example 24/96 file and then play a 24/44 sound is not heard through headphones although the player seems it is playing the song.After reboot of the phone it is fixed again. The solution i found is to close the player everyu time i want to play a song with different rate from the one before that.

[I'm sorry I'm not answering on the subject]
What variant of the phone you got? I have M792H that came with Global firmware.
You say that 6.1.3 still has root. I really need root function but I'm not sure if I can safely downgrade from Flyme 7.0.0.0G to 6.1.3.2G. Do you think it's possible?

I have just one more question, if you are so kind: with what app do you manage Root access? SuperSU seems not to be working. Have you been able to use Flashfire app? I haven't, because it requires SuperSU or Magisk.

I have the phone 2 days only and I haven't experimented withvsupersu yet. I used the internal root of the phone while at 6.1.3. Have you tried supersu 2.79? Make a backup first because of the fear of bootloop. And have the update.zip in main directory lol.

Yes, I've tried an older SuperSU, but system went into bootloop.
I'm thinking if Beta ROMs are worth it?! Maybe they have extra features than Stable Global... I found the latest Beta, 7.8.6.5, but I'm not sure if it can be installed from Recovery, like other Global Stable ROMs. I hope my Meizu won't turn into a Nokia (brick)

If it is your main phone dont experiment too much lol . I bought this phone just to replace my mx4 pro that i only used for audio playback . Lets wait for beta global versions . I am back at 7.0 flyme because i find that phone behaves better than 6.1.3 . Absense of root is an issue though.

It's my main phone so I guess I'll be gentle with it. But, as far as I searched on google, there is a Beta Global ROM for Pro 7 = 7.8.5.30G. I don't know if it's really working or not on Pro 7 Global...
I too returned to 7.0.0.0G and I miss root mainly for AdAway app.
It's my first Meizu and I just discovered that Flyme has internal Backup function that backs up app data also, not only apks, so backup apps like Titanium Backup become obsolete (even without root and TB, apps cand be easily uninstalled or frozen with proper ADB commands).

A few days ago, there was an update from zhuhang for the already released Viper4Android 2.5.0.5. It addresses the issues that a lot of people are having with getting V4A working under Nougat. I tested it with my ROM, and the driver installed without error. So then I decided to make a flashable zip that would preinstall the driver and save you a few minutes plus a reboot. Other than possibly needing to grant Storage permissions in Settings, this is a quick flash and go.
The zip that should work on any LG-based ROM, and possibly on AOSP-based as well. Just download, flash in TWRP, and reboot. You may need to grant Storage permissions in Settings.

Not sure if I did something wrong or not - but I can't get it to work.

You shouldn't have been promoted to grant root access. V4A only needs root to install the driver, which is preinstalled.
If you're being prompted to install a driver, the ROM likely uses a different conf file to control audio.

He built and ported to magisk recently. Has a module you need to install then install Swansong
I haven't played with it yet. I like the new app but dont see a diffence in drivers from 2.5.0.4 to 2.5.0.5
Magisk has a compatible module in his downloads via the app that works with my rom (2.5.0.4)
I install that via magisk manager then i pulled the latest viper4arise.apk and installed instead of the older ui viperfx apk that is linked on the downloads page inside magisk manager.
Driver installs correctly for many others as well. You may need to dirtyflash my rom and start over. Magisk manager also received a update yesterday via playstore. The process on phh or magisksu as its now called is different now as its "systemless" vs modifying the actual system files.
If you dont want to go 5through the hassel of above. Just go to developer settings inside of the viper apps settings and turn off selinux and recheck driver status. Im 99% sure it works this way but ive said it before, i wont push the rom this route as i dont perfer it to be off by defualt.
Hope this helps
Got it all worked out thanks to the rom creator above. Team DevDigitel.
Thank You
Thank you for your work on this flashable zip it's much appreciated, I just have a couple of questions though for anyone who might know..
I'm still running the original stock rom (rooted with TWRP) on my LG V20 and a while back I followed the directions from another thread to install V4A, and I was able to get it to work (even through bluetooth) but it's kind of wonky and just hit or miss so I'd really like to try this one out instead.
I'm assuming I should uninstall the version of V4A I have right now but is there anything else that I need to do (besides a nand backup) before flashing this one? Also one of the steps to install the V4A I have right now was deleting a system file (I'll have to go look to be sure but I believe it was something like mixer_paths.xml), so I just thought I'd check to see if that will somehow effect this version or if I possibly need to put the original file back where it was before flashing this one?
I apologize if these are stupid questions but I just thought play it safe and check first before giving this a shot, because even though the version I have is kind of wonky it still works through bluetooth which from what I've read is something that a lot of people haven't been able to get working, and since I use it so much I'm just afraid to even risk losing it. Anyway I'll definitely create a backup before doing anything but any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

You don't need to delete any files for this zip. You're supposed to delete /system/etc/audioeffects.conf, but I've done that with the script.
As I use this more, Bluetooth still occasionally doesn't process after pausing for an extended period, like getting out of the car for more than 5 minutes, but all you need to do for it to kick back on is exit V4A from the menu, then open it up again. It'll immediately start processing again.
If you have an unmodified system backup to restore, that will help ensure it works OK, but it may not be needed.

Thank you for the quick response and for the info and I have no clue why I had mixer_paths on the brain but yeah audioeffects.conf is the file I had to delete while installing the version I have, and as far as what you said about the bluetooth acting up it sounds pretty similar to the wonkyness that I was describing with the version I currently have.
One weird thing that I've noticed with mine (and I don't have the slightest idea how or why it's doing it) is when I'm listening to music through my bluetooth headset, none of the settings under the "Bluetooth" section in V4A have any effect on the sound whatsoever.. but what's weird is that all of the settings under the "Headphones" section do (so it's basically like the section names were swapped somehow)?!
I know for sure that I don't have anything plugged into the jack and the headset I'm using is definitely bluetooth (because it's pretty easy to tell lol), so I have no clue why the settings under headphones would work just fine while the ones under bluetooth don't do it anything at all?
Anyway thank you again for the info I'll give it a shot as soon as I have time and let ya know how it went, and unfortunately the only thing I didn't backup was my unmodified system (it didn't even cross my mind until after I was done rooting) but hopefully it'll still be ok. Thanks again!

You can definitely control BT devices from the BT tab on this one. And I've found with more testing that before I get in my car, switch to V4A and exit it, then open it again as soon as Play Music connects. Works every time.
I would just like to say thank you!!
I installed this .zip on my T-mo variant over the previous V4A install via dirty flash. It resolved my Bluetooth processing issues on the stock V20 ROM. I've been working on this the past few days. VERY happy it now works in my car like my last phone did!
Now, once I get the nerve to flash over the new modem and bootloader via TWRP to get up to 20j, I'm highly inclined to check out the new ROM by NATF.
Cheers!

The new modem and other firmware is not a strict requirement for ROMs built on 10j. You just need to make sure TWRP is on the latest release.

Hey guys
Its been a few year since I rooted. don't worry ive already spotted the guide on how to.
My question is once im rooted. Does the old Xposed framework thingy still exist?
What app are we using for govenor/kernel control?
Is titanium backup still a good option?
Basically, whats my app suite gonna look like when im done? How am I going about tweaking my phone?
I guess im asking whats your set of default apps for your rooted phone. Mangment, tweak, backuo, gapps etc
If you have the xperia xz1, which is on android 8, oreo I don't believe Xposed framework is working on oreo yet. I also believe only one kernal is working to get root, not sure if it has any governor controls though. Titanium is still good for removing unwanted bloat.
To answer about xposed, it still work on oreo but this is a beta take a look at my attachment, I have a XZ1 Running oreo 8.0.0 firmware 47.1.A.12.75 and Xposed is working on it, I flashed it through TWRP
Hope it helped
Thank you
Just wanting to get back on the root shoot.
Even if im just rooting and trimming all the fat out. Xposed looks good. Cant wait to take all the bloatware out. Is there a "safe to remove" list about? At work ATM, but will be diving right into this this week

from trial and error there isn't a lot of "safe to remove" items, I trimmed out 5 maybe 6 items before the rom got squirrelly.
This is just from memory but I got rid of avg, chrome (I use Iron browser) email and exchange, amazon and wiki links, as well as the system facebook and youtube ( to give more control over those items) Just about anything else resulted in apps force closing or other issues
Thanks guys,
Seems like its all just about how it was. Give or take a few apps.
My last thing I wonder is, how do I run barclays bank app? Im pretty sure it'll not run due to the root. Is there a way round this? Sandbox or something?
I think I just found my answer. Wondering what Magisk was ???
So with magisk I can run banking apps etc. It will also manage all of my root blah blah. Xposed can help me **** about with things. Titanium backup. And new OS.
I think im ready now ?
If you run Xposed, you lose a large chunk of the MagiskHide capabilities. You're better off without Xposed and just using Magisk
Really? That's bad. I remember xposed was fun. I shall have a read up on Magisk when I get time.
Planning on the weekend. So I can have a full day of it ?

I recommend you to use EXKM (for kernel control) and FX File Browser (with the root addon) for all the debloating and modifications in the system folders.
Hey,
Ive never heard of EXKM. But still using FX browser since last time I rooted. Never switched ?
Hello.
You can install greenify4magisk, sd maid for cleaning, myandroidtool (do what amplify do but without Xposed)

Ive unlocked the bootloader
followed this guide

And everything worked fine
But i want to install CarbonROM
At what point in that guide do i install CarbonROM? Because my phone has been sat here at the boot "Sony" screen for about 30 mins now, and im pretty sure its not gonna boot up
Ok,
This is doing my head in now.
Twice now ive had to do a full reinstall, how in the living hell do I get xposed installed ontop of magisk?
I think install the xposed installer, then the SDK 26 from magisk. Then reboot? But it bootlooped on me?
Did I technogology wrong?

On the latest version ( .179) , you can't use xposed with magisk. There is nothing to do but waiting right now . We have to wait beta 4 or whatever.
Ah, right.
But am I getting the install procedure correct?
Im not even sure theres anything in closed I actually want. But its an option, therefore I must put it in ?
Hi there,
The tutorial will show you how to make Viper4Android work on Android 10 and avoid issues like ringtone distortion or no Bluetooth audio.
Please uninstall previous installations of viper or any other audio mod before proceeding to the steps below.
(Updated) Steps:
Download and install BusyBox for NDK from magisk (Don't Reboot)
Download and install Viper from magisk and reboot.
Go to Viper app and install drivers, the device will reboot automatically.
Download and install Audio Compatibility Patch from magisk and do the following:
-Skip audio_policy patching - No and remove (old logic)
-Skip notification_helper - No and remove volume listener library
-Skip usb policy patching for usb dacs - Yes
-Last option - No (recommended)
Reboot and enjoy!
You should have working Viper4Android!
Press the thanks button if I helped!

Now, if you are facing issues like ringtone distortion or no bluetooth audio, please flash the following:
For ringtone/notification sound distortion: Flash Notification Remover Helper.
For no bluetooth audio: Flash Viper Pie Fix v2
Note: After flashing the above fixes, you may be prompted to install drivers by Viper again. You can go ahead and install the drivers again.

Sadly flashing "Flash notification remover helper" does not get rid of the distorted system sounds/alarms.
This was the solution for me, no distortion with alarm and bluetooth is working

Strange. Worked for 2 of my devices. One is K20 Pro, running Evolution X. which rom are you on?
Edit: Notification helper remover has two options. Did you try both? Removing volume listener library worked for me.

Looked into this. The audio compatibility patch is a collection of patches mentioned in the original post.
It has a usb audio related patch and the notification helper remover. Would be easier to just flash notification helper remover.

Not initially, but I did yesterday.
Just removing the volume listener library didn't work. So I removed V4A and started from scratch.
Installed V4A, installed AML, installed the driver, deactivated AML and flashed NHR and removed volume listener library and then installed the driver again :silly: .
Don't know why it's working, but it's working as intended now.
System sounds working, BT working,
even my trouble with some IG stories sounding ok and others being distorted are gone.
Thank you.

I have V4A + ACP + AML working on my 9T Pro running Android 10 with no issues whatsoever. Only had to install Viper, disable AML, install Viper driver, enable AML, install Viper driver and that was all.
I've followed the procedures, didn't work.
Tried all the suggested combos in the thread, didn't work.
Tried all sorts of weird combos, none worked either.
Notification and ringtones still crackles when viper works.
Not working here...On pixel experience 10 . I either end up with stuttering audio or no bt at all.
Sadly does not work for me either on Evox.

Just making sure, are you guys following all the steps exactly on a clean install?

Did you have to reboot at each step?
Just thought I would post regarding this box. Not much information on it.
I bought on a whim without realising the one thing I wanted was missing (Bluetooth). However the box has grown on me.
Its powered by the new Allwinner H616 Chip. However its performance sucks. For some reason they have forced CPU to 1.4GHz all the time. No point in my opinion, it just causes it to heat up for no reason.
Anyways, it comes fully rooted. I did try and install SuperSU, ended up killing root. So I reflashed it using usb flasher. There is also a new firmware update, which shows when doing wireless update.
Firmware released is 10.1.12, update takes it up to 10.1.14. So I did update and then factory reset to start fresh. The only problem is, rom is such a mess. App folders every where and system is filled to 100%. I deleted bloat in /system/pre-install folder.
I stopped rooting stuff years ago, so Magisk is newish to me. I thought I would try Magisk manager. Worked great, was able to install Magisk. From then on all root apps worked as I was able to set root access, which is something I could not do before. I also installed kernel auditor and set read ahead on and tweaked the build.prop. This helped speed it up, now stuff like Emulators no longer jerk and stutter.
One downside, Prime video does not work, you have to use Amazon Video (which is their browser alternative).
So hope this helps anyone with the same box.
Can you specify what changes did you to make it run faster? Were you able replace/disable Alice ux?
Hi. Can you please share your firmware file as my android box stops working after 5 minutes. I have tried to do a factory reset but it did not help.
Hello
I´m interested too.
Thanks

Yes, I was. I installed another launcher like the ATV launcher. Made that the default launcher and then disabled the aclie ux through adb using "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>".

I installed SMART Launcher, but every time I restart TANIX TX6s Alice UX returns as the default launcher.
I did a test forcing to uninstall ALICE UX but the TX6s didn't boot anymore.
I decided to apply the firmware again. I never used ADB SHELL commands manually. I'll read about it.
Very grateful for the tip.
If you have any tutorial ...

[TX6s] Android TV Box - Alice UX - Launcher Change Help?
I tried magisk manager, loaded on an old version sitting on a memory card and updated it, then I flashed 20.4 magisk with it and both are showing as installed and up-to-date. I still haven't seen any root dialogue and magiskSU is blank. so... do I have 2 root solutions on my device at the same time, one system pre-installed and one systemless ?
EDIT: turning off the root switch and rebooting allowed magisk to pick up the remaining root apps that had superSU through the built-in root. it also allowed adaway to finally install systemless hosts.
turn off root if you flashed magisk via magisk manager don't be a numbskull like me.
I'd be happier if I had TWRP onboard, is there a way to achieve this currently ?

installing titanium from the playstore I was able to freeze the stock ATV YouTube app and replace it with YouTube Vanced 14.21.54 (no more adverts, but tricky navigation) so if Alice is the launchers name freezing that should work with titanium. I watched a video review and using other android TV launchers, works just fine.
I know this is an old thread, but can anyone assist with the TWRP recovery .IMG for the above box or for the H40 Allwinner H616 box..
I need it to temporarily boot into recovery to flash magisk but can't seem to find it anywhere.
PS I have the ZIP but do not want to permanently flash it....
use Magisk Manager to install Magisk, the box is already rooted so this can work.
AFAIK there is no TWRP for this device, nor any roms. we'd need to be passing around a collection plate for donations to a Dev before we were likely to see anything.
Mine is a H40 ....
Same chipset / board, however mine says it's not rooted. I know this rom works on my box, sm1s tested it. How ever all I need is magisk working, so I can fix the gplay certification error. I have apps that need it to work...

check settings / device preferences / about /... see if you have an option called root switch which must toggle root access on and off.
It doesn't. But thanks. I have been able to patch my bootloader to install Magisk
has anyone here tried Edxposed and can report that it works OK ?
I don't have a PC to reflash the device if it goes wrong but I need to get minmin guard onboard as I passionately hate intrusive ads.
if you do have it working which version of Rirucore did you use ?
DON'T USE EDXPOSED both YAHFA and SandHook latest versions lead to a soft brick!
YAHFA let's you get a lot further into the process, but activating 3 modules was enough to ''corrupt'' the rom.
now it's either factory reset or try removing files via ADB on a borrowed laptop. I've suffered so that you don't have to. God I miss TWRP.
Hi!
I tried flash T95's firmware (because of root) i Transpeed h616 (no root), has same device-specification, but It doesn't boot.
Do you know why? Shall I unlock boot-loader first? If yes then fastboot oem unlock works?
Thanks

Hi. Thank you for sharing.
I have been running it for a few hours and I love all the additions of features and the Android TV look (I used Mi Box S before so I prefer this look)
I do have one problem though. On stock firmware, I was able to pass through the audio to my sound bar in kodi (this lets me listen to Dolby Atmos and other surround sound technologies). I tried everything on your rom to make it work but it doesn't seem to work at all.
What worked in stock firmware:
Droid settings - sound - switch it to manual - enable all the options and set DTS to 20%. Go to Kodi, go to Kodi audio settings and enable passthrough, then play a dolby Atmos or DTS file and my soundbar said "Dolby Atmos" or "DTS" whenever I played the respective file.
In your rom:
There are three settings apps. 1 is droid settings from stock firmware, 1 is aosp settings app from stock firmware and 1 is the new settings app with extra features.
I have tried changing the droid settings sound options like on stock firmware but that does not work. I have tried using the new settings apps sound options (tried manual, auto, always allow etc etc) and that does not work either. I'm unable to get passthrough audio.
I always get PCM, even in Atmos/Dolby Digital/DTS files. My sound bar supports all of these codecs, and the box can do passthrough audio as I have already tried it on the stock firmware.
It's possible that it's due to viper4android? But I have disabled the master switch in viper as well.
Sorry for the long post but I was trying to be as detailed as possible. Honestly, apart from this, I have zero issues with your rom. I wanted to use it as a daily driver but this sound output option is a big problem as I watch a lot of 4K movies with Atmos and DTS.
If anyone is considering this rom but don't care about the issue I'm having, go for it. There are no other issues in this rom and is easily a daily driver. Works very well and highly recommended from my end.

I don't think you can install TWRP on x96 air. But you can use the hinged TWRP to boot into TWRP whenever you want through the stock recovery.

I believe this rom is specific to X96Air. I think the vendor is exclusive to this model and that's probably what's causing the issue on your box. I suppose you can try to flash slimbox over on the freaktab forums instead.
Thanks for this, I tried the slimbox rom already and it doesn't boot up all the way. The slimbox works better on my S905X2 box.

Hi, owning this box, we can install TWRP in recovery by flashing with AmlogicFlasherV1.0 and the TWRP.img which is in the archive HERE, beware it will be ROOT before.
