I'd like to start by saying, I am a new member so, I was not able to simply ask in that thread and this is the most relevant place to ask. Here is the link to that thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293133 . Now, I am on the ME7, so, no TWRP or CWM and I searched all through that file in root explorer and couldn't find any of text required to change, the audio hack is confirmed working for I545. I already searched that thread, no luck. Now that you know my situation, is it possible to download those flash-able files, and either flash them in stock recovery, or take each individual file and place them in the correct directory using root explorer, fix the permission and it work? I'd prefer not to take risks with this locked bootloader, a simple problem with this phone turns it into a paper weight.

You cant flash in stock recovery but you should be able to extract the files and then copy/paste them. Make sure they have the right permissions and you should be go to. I would add .bak extension to the stock ones just in case you dont like the mod and want to revert back to stock.

In call volume on S4 ME7 sucks. Was looking for volume booster specific to S4 ME7.
Found 2 threads:
1. Volume booster mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298946
2. Viper4Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223&page=640
Tried to read through both treads...
Have couple Q, still unclear for me regarding above:
1. Applying 1st mod - does it distort the sound quality?
2. Does Viper actually allow to INCREASE VOLUME besides improving quality of decoding lossy music files?
PS. Does it make sense to even try those volume improving apps from market? (Volume +, Music volume EQ, ect?)
Thanks!
Don't know if V4a will increase call volume, but it will boost the hell out of your earphone volume on music apps. BUT as the boost increases, so does the noise.

I want to make sure I'm doing everything correct this is what I did
1. Download latest zip files
2. copy apks to /system/apps
3. reboot just because I wanted to
4. start apps grant root and download A8 neon drivers and Ax Neon
5. reboot once more
6. Check driver status, enabled: no
7. settings>sound>ViperFx
8. Repeat 1-7 with no justification
Am I skipping a step here, getting the wrong drivers, or what?
I am just using the XHIFI with (I think) xA8 with neon. I copied it to /system/app, I did boot to recovery and wiped cache, but the little android dude looked dead and I am not sure it worked. With root explorer I changed the permission to owner read, write execute, then opened the app, update the driver, enabled it under sound.
I did this a bit ago, and I think this is what I did. But given the difficulty people are having I am not interested in uninstalling and trying to document how I re-install. Keep at it, it does make a big difference.

I would have liked a little bit more of a boost in volume but the quality boost overall is tremendous Compatibility mode is broken they work well separately I'd say so far that it was well worth the trouble I went through
You can keep boosting volume with Playback Gain Control..... but noise will raise its angry head
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

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)?

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.
Hello.
I was forced to reinstall firmware due to phone issues.
Now I'm again with root and TWRP.
Firmware is on nougat, version c900b300 but many files are missing.
In particular, themes cannot be applied even if I can download them.
I followed a procedure suggested for the Mate 8 but with no results.
Is someone able to help me?
I think this is not a post for q&a section.
Otherwise please move it.
Thanks.
Ah, even the ringtones folder is empty, but this is not a big issue...

First method pushed FM spk in data folder, I rebooted but no FM radio app shows up.
Regarding second method, Google drive file doesn't exist.
I hope to be able to install Oreo when available through TWRP.
Now I don't have the updater and I'm not receiving ota update from Huawei. Unfortunately I'm stuck with March security updates
Dammit, I'm out of ideas at the moment. Plus, i didn't knew that even updater was missing... You wanna try with an apk of mine extracted?
of course mate.
Now I'm more relaxed, as I understand that is better just playing with this phone. I'm not gonna put job related files anymore in, so if something happens, I can recover easily.
Baaaaaaaaad phone...
Ah, sorry if I forgot to mention that I miss A LOT of file. Basically all the crapware like Health or Huawei related bullshits, updater, ringtones, themes are not installing. Cannot even load a different wallpaper.
But I have nougat base and patches till March.
Better than nothing!

For Huawei bloatware it's surely a positive thing if you don't care, since that those results "well" radicated into system and aren't easy to remove. For all the rest, looks like you are on a firmware build that was created to another build, and so causes various incompatibilities... But it's the worst case that i saw, except bricking related cases maybe a rebranding to an other variant, with the flash of another firmware could solve at least the missing apps issue. Anyway, i uploaded the updater apk; after all i don't think it'll works sincerely neither making it a system app with apps or modules like systemizer, if all those issues are present already... But in the worst case here, you'll just get an install failure due to an apk version that doesn't match your first, initial build. Try for fun, i would say.
Thank you for the tips.
Even if I read on this forum (honor in general) many different opinions regarding how to flash a Rom with twrp...and sometimes even with dload method.
I mean: it seems to me that with twrp is compulsory to flash the zip with "PV" only, even if many disagree
With dload, unzip the folder and better to put all the files, not only the .app one inside...
Am I right?
By the way, the updater apk should be put inside what folder? Of course it cannot be installed normally (file corrupted)
You can use apps like Link2SD, but if the file looks corrupt (had this problem too when i accidentally deleted compass app time ago) it means that doesn't matches your build number. You could try by installing a version that matches your actual build.

Yes, with dload method, you need to flash all files available in zip to get everything working, i tries this and everything worked for me without anything missing.
For flashing zip, yes it is PV files that can be flashed via Twrp
The problem, as far as I know, is that now Huawei stopped releasing ROM files and even the .ru website now will have problems to collect files...

Solution
Hey, i have had the same Problem with the theme changer - found this solution which just take 1 minute
Themes:
- I downloaded the Huawei Tool from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3470823
- enable USB-Debugging connect your phone to the PC and start the tool
- choose "7" for utilities
- after that choose "12. Install /data/hw_init (Mate8,P9,P9 Plus)" and confirm
- after reboot the theme change will work again!
Will it work on honor 6x? The hw data is only for p9 ,isnt it?

You can Flash the mod in twrp or follow the guide.
Guide Enable DAC & LGMusic player.
First download the H918 rom H91820f.zip You can download it from mega, should download fast.
[Rom][Oreo][Rooted] T-Mobile H918 [20f] [20g] [20h] Oreo flashable
Then extract the zip file.
mount system.img on your computer.
Then copy the five folders and one file from the mounted image, to your phone in the same directory structure listed below. Overwrite.
/system/priv-app/LGMusic
/system/priv-app/LGMusicWidget
/system/priv-app/LGMusicController
/system/etc/com.lge.music.xml
/system/vendor/overlay/com.lge.music
/system/vendor/overlay/com.lge.sizechangable.musicwidget.widget
You should not have to change the file permissions if using a root file manager. in Android. But if you using adb or twrp file manager you may have to.
File permissions to 0644
/system/etc/com.lge.music.xml
/system/priv-app/LGMusic/LGMusic.apk
/system/priv-app/LGMusicWidget/LGMusicController.apk
/system/priv-app/LGMusicController/LGMusicWidget.apk
/system/vendor/overlay/com.lge.music/com.lge.music.apk
/system/vendor/overlay/com.lge.sizechangable.musicwidget.widget/com.lge.sizechangable.musicwidget.widget.apk
Restart phone.

@dudeawsome for providing the H918 rom XDA
I'm guessing this has no effect on Bluetooth audio quality? Only when using a wire?

That's a good question and I am glad you asked it. Because I forgot include that answer in my guide. So to answer you question, there is a noticeable difference in sound quality with using Bluetooth. I am using aptx hd, as for sbc Bluetooth I am not sure. But you are correct a wired headset should get up-scaling to 32 bit sound with LGMusic player.

Oh I forgot to mention that the sound on the internal speaker has improved also. I am using the build prop tweaks that enables system wide Quad DAC support in any app.
Unlock the FULL Potential of the Lgv20's Quad DAC. (root only)
There is a twrp file you can flash now to enable the dac support.
Many thanks for this. Flashed the TWRP zip and it worked flawlessly. Now have working LG Music on my H910 for the 1st time ever. Yes, it's still my daily driver...

Your welcome, glad you enjoy it.
This TWRP zip doesn't do the build.prop mod to Force true 24 bit 44.1 kHz does it?
The build.prop mod + Force true 24 bit 44.1 kHz .zip linked in the first post enables it. Haven't tested 24/44, but ADB test with the mod installed showed 16/44 does not get interpolated to 16/48 and 24/192 plays natively. So I doubt there would be any problem with 24/44
I have owned LG V30/40/50 primarily for music listening. The downside was to activate the high impedance mode (for earphones under 50 ohm), one had to go through various processes involving adapters and cables. The other option for rooted devices was to edit the MIXER_PATH_TAVIL.XML file. That triggered the high gain output permanently.
For V60, that option is not directly available. The reason is that /vendor/etc/mixer_path.xml is located in super partition making the file not editable. So you could only force the high impedance mode by using adapter or cable option till now.
Using Magisk, I have written two modules that will allow you to substitute the system file and put your phone in high impedance mode permanently. Magisk simply loads the edited files as the effective ones (disabling the system file). You will notice increase in volume/gain when you enable/disable DAC in sound settings.
So I have Viper 4 installed with my module without any problem producing enhanced sound output from V60.
INSTALLATION:
1. Download the attached modules. Do not make any changes.
2. Save it on your phone.
3. Go to Magisk module page and choose install from storage option.
4. If you already have AML installed then uninstall that first.
5. Direct Magisk to the file you just downloaded. Now install AML first.
6. Reboot.
7. Install the Mixer.zip second (for high impedance effect) with Magisk.
8. Reboot.
Enjoy!
This module makes V60 more likable for listening to music. As you said, the new partition structure that is implemented in V60 made it impossible to edit the relevant files un-editable. Of particular value is your AML that does not make any sacrifices when listening in high impedance. Fantastic job!
I was myself thinking of undertaking a similar project but you delivered.
I think that as Android evolves, it is becoming more and more like iOS in terms what you can and can't customize. Thanks to John Wu for creating Magisk! He has extended the customizable life of Android.
I have been looking for a way to force my V60 in high impedance mode to get a boost in volume. There is no solution anywhere on web. I find the solution using an adapter or a cable very inconvenient. Not to mention that using them degrades the audio quality.
You have helped many of us music lovers (who have been looking for a permanent solution) by these modules. They work like charm. I haven’t found any problem so far. V60 sounds better than V50 in high impedance mode with full power of DAC.
As much as I love V60 for many reasons, the lack of triggering high impedance mode was a bummer. Now we are all set to enjoy this excellent phone from every angle.
Thanks man.
THANK YOU so much for this. works beautifully. but how did you get viper4 to work on the v60? i can't seem to figure it out
Actually it is not difficult at all. Since you have already installed the module for high impedance mode, all you need is the Viper 4. I suggest that you install this version of Viper 4. The reason is it is newer.
INSTALLATION:
1. Download the Viper 4.
2. Save it on your phone.
3. Install it as a Magisk module.
4. Reboot.
5. Once rebooted, you activate Viper by turning on the "Master limiter" in the app and configuring your desired options.
P.S.: If you don't want to add any other audio modules (like Dolby ATMOS etc.) then there is no need to install the AML module that is on this page. You can keep it (if desired) but it is not needed.
omg ur a legend! uve given me a 2 eargasms. every single guide says to install the viper4 apk... not the module... thanks again. btw which music player do you use?
Glad to know that you are enjoying the full potential of LG V60 in terms of music! I have the built-in music player that is in V60. The reason is it uses the inherent DAC in the best way. But I also have USB Player Pro.
Most of my music listening is streaming services. And V60 rocks just as much.
Please let us know should you need any help. We are a big and happy family here at XDA.
wondering if you could help me with this issue. i can't seem to get xposed edge and physical buttom master control to work on lsposed. they both install fine with no errors but they just dont work. i also have gravitybox on lsposed which does work so im not sure what the issue is
I don't use the apps that you are referring to. So I am not the right person to guide you in the right direction. However, I hope someone in the forum can help you.
Have you searched the XDA relating to your problem? Maybe it has been discussed earlier somewhere else.
yeah i figured it all out. thanks again
Awesome. Enjoy the best phone for audio listening — V60.
I`m unable to install the AML module. It says: Installation failed! Unsupported / Unknown image format. I also extracted the AML zip file with the same error message when installing. I would be very grateful if you could help me please.
Are you installing it as a Magisk module? I just tested it. It installs and works totally fine.
I`m sorry but I`m a complete noob when it comes to this. This is the very first time I do this. Where should I download Magisk app from. My Magisk app when installed has MODULES section at the bottom completely greyed out, so I cannot select it and under Magisk section up top I`ve got the following:
Installed N/A
Zygisk NO
Ramdisk YES
Under APP section:
Latest 25.2 (25200) (33)
Installed 25.2 (25200)
Package com.topjohnwu.magisk
So it looks like the Magisk app is installed, but not the Magisk itself. Where should I get the Magisk from?
You have to root your V60 that starts with unlocking the bootloader first. The process is well documented in this forum.
Thanks so much! I`ve heard about rooting, but I`ve never done it before. People say, that you might end up with a brick, if rooting process isn`t successful.
No worries.

P.S.: Audio Modification Library (AML) has been modified to accomodate this module. Now you can use this module with all audio modules in high impedance mode!

Will this work on the v50?
If you are fully rooted then V50 allows to fully edit the MIXER_PATH_TAVIL file directly.
