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

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.
Hello everyone
If you got update to Android 10 (11.0.1) Respective (MIUI 12.0.3) and you want to get the Dolby and the Viper4android and make them work together just fallow the steps.
"(!) THIS MOD WORKS ONLY WITH ANDROID 10 STOCK ROM. (NO CUSTOM ROMS(!) "
Android 9 MIUI 11.0.8 :
(!) Dolby was not tested in MIUI 11.0.8 ANDROID 9, Test it at your own risk. Using the same installation steps but using Dolby for Android PIE! You can find it at the forums, no more support for Android 9 since i got update to Android 10.
(!) Viper4Android works and tested with MIUI 11.0.8 ANDROID 9 with the same installation steps.
-----------------------------------
A loot of patience is required of course
(!) If you don't fallow all the steps don't judge me if the mods won't work or if your phone fails to boot (!)
You need to be rooted using Magisk Manager latest version.
Code:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
backup your data before flashing it!
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you don't fallow all the steps don't judge me!
Do everything at your own risk!
----------------
The things we need :
*Miui 11.0.1 / Miui 12.0.3
You can download the entire rom / update your rom from here :
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/platina/
stable V11.0.1.0.QDTMIXM 10.0 Global
or
stable V12.0.3.0.QDTMIXM 10.0 Global
I recommend to flash all the mods / recovery Roms using PitchBlack Recovery
You can download it from here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...covery-mi-8-lite-v2-9-0-base-twrp-v3-t4000857
Don't try with other Twrp like Orange Fox Recovery. It won't work and you will get boot loop (orangefox recovery does not have encryption features and does not have Ota update full support (disable/enable protection so you will get bootloop due to security reasons. )
-------------
You need to be rooted with Magisk Manager if you want to use that mods! Otherwise they will not work ever!
INFO:
If you got boot loop after flashing Magisk with TWRP(Phone stuck at boot process up to 2-3minutes ) boot twrp and format your DATA. DON'T WIPE! FORMAT!
**WIPE/FORMAT DATA**
*Restart your phone and be patient the boot may take some time after perform data format*
Now you should have the Magisk installed! (The data format does not wipe Magisk Manager from the system (!). It will be there.)
-------------
(!) If something goes wrong you can flash again the stock rom downloaded and repeat the process (!)
------------------
Don't use TWRP to flash any files from attachaments. Read carefully the tutorial!
------------------
Viper4Android / Dolby how to install (!)
----------------
VIPER4ANDROID
After the phone hase been rooted and the Magisk works fine (you have root)
Download the V4A version : 2.7.1.6 (You can find the rar arhive in attachments / extract it to your phone and install the apk / dont flash, only install the inside apk)
***ONLY THIS VERSION OF V4A IS WORKING WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM // IF YOU WANT THE NEW VERSION OF THE VIPER4ANDROID YOU WILL NEED SOME MORE STUFFS LIKE Se Linux Permisive / Audio modification library***
Go open the V4A application and install the driver (your phone will reboot automatically)
After reboot done the V4A should work.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
DOLBY INSTALL :
Download the Dolby. Zip for Android 10 (Files in attachments!!! /// Dont try other version, it will crash!)
Flash it using Magisk and reboot your phone.
Now the Dolby should work together with the V4A
PLEASE READ!!!!
If you do all the steps and Dolby app closes and it doesnt work, you will need to uninstall the mod from magisk manager, restart phone, and flash audio modification library! Restart your phone flash again Dolby, and again restart your phone!
If not work after that, uninstall Dolby again from Magisk modules! Don't restart your phone yet. Flash Se Linux module module via Magisk and set it to permissive!
Then restart your phone, install Dolby again and reboot phone again!
The mod works with some phones without installing any audio modification patch. But in some cases you need that patches.
Now all the thinks should work! If not.. The latest think you should do :
Go to system /etc and copy audio_effects.conf and ds1-default..mlpaste it to system/vendor/etc!
I don't need audio modification library / se Linux permisive but i found some stock Roms with the same phone, who needs these paths to make Dolby work!
!!*Viper4android driver should not be affected after those modifications*!! If you got problem with viper after these modifications just reinstall the driver!
So we got V4A + Dolby + Stock equalizer full working all together(!)
Issues :
Dolby :
When you open the Dolby if you will set something it will close the application ( when you turn on / off the aplication / the surround..
The app Will close but the Dolby will work normally!!! You can change the eq settings in dolby without any issue.
When the Dolby app closes it won't affect the audio effect from Dolby. It won't stop working. You can open again the application and set more things!
----------------------------------
(!) Mod works with Speaker / headpones / Bluetooth / Calls(!)
No Audio path required
No audio modification library required !
The mod works fine with all Se Linux modes!
-----------------
(!) See attachments please
If you have any kind of problem leave a comment and I will help you!

Changelog / update:
*Added some info about the instalation after updating to MIUI 12.
*Added RAR arhive with the right V4A apk. (Attachaments)
>Please read carefull the tutorial<
in global v11.0.4.0 ,This is work.if you are in higher version then it will not work.if you are in v11.0.4.0 and install viper successfully then you update your system via ota or recovery.vyper will work great.
Yes you can hear right. You can install it in your redmi 9. But you have to root your device. Without root it will not work. Installation is separate in two parts....
Part 1:
1.First of all, make sure that Your Magisk is updated to the latest version.
Now, Install the Viper4Android FX 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.
5.Go to Menu>Downloads and search Audio Modification Library.
Install the AML module but, 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 automatically.
Reboot your phone and Again Open Viper4FX app and Install the driver again.
Your Device will reboot and Now, Viper will not ask for driver installation..
You have to enable AML again and reboot again...
Then 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. You have to to install Dolby atoms also...
Part 2:
Install 4 zip file according to serial number...
**First zip file..
After volume key test you have to press down key to choose the second option....
**For second file...
Do not need to press any thing..
**For third file..
Down,down,down,up,down,up....is the volume key sequence...
**For Fourth file..
Do not need to press anything...
Reboot your device..
Magic.....
Now you can modify your audio for a great listening experience...
Thank you.....

This method worked on v11.0.4.0 but unfortunately does not work with upper version
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
Is this method work on miui 11?
