hi, i have a galaxy II and Nokia BH-214 Bluetooth handsfree. everything works great, but the quality is poor. I read that you can change bitpool but I do not know how. I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708265 but it did not help me because I do not know what to do
Assuming you are rooted, use Root Explorer and navigate to /system/lib/ and make a backup of the file liba2dp.so
Download file A from this post,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16220448&postcount=12
rename it to liba2dp.so and use root explorer to replace the original one in /system/lib. Reboot
Now see if you feel any difference. If things are worse, replace the original file that was backed up, reboot!
it's a little better, but still it can not compare with the quality as Nokia 5230 or Samsung Star .. thanks.
Hey guys so I was looking for a way to increase the volume on my Verizon branded G3 with no luck. Tried Viper4Android and even the mixer_path mod but that didn't work. So I looked and found this mod for the G2 which requires editing the snd_soc_msm_taiko. So I tried that and to my surprise it works. What I did was copy the file using root explorer to my sd card and then edited using a text editor on my pc due to file being to large for root explorer. Copied to directory and fixed permissions and after a reboot noticed the difference. Anyways more info is available on the following link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442883. Make sure you thank them if this helps you.

im all for figuring this out myself, but without a custom recovery to restore backups, i would rather not re-flash stock while im trying this.
if you have it working without issue, can you just post the modified file?
thanks
How can we use an equalizer? Also some ring tones on max sound a teeny distorted. This speaker is LOUD

I actually use Viper4Android along with this mod as the volume mod for the speaker within Viper4Android doesn't seem to work however the equalizer does.
Lollipop High Volume Sound MOD
From much people, i have heared, that the sound of the Z Ultra, is not very loud, but i have fixed that for Lollipop ROMS
That are only modified mixer_paths.xml and audio_policy.conf (only V2) documents
You find 3 Categories: Loud, Louder and Loudest
Loud: is louder than normal but not too high
Louder: is very loud, only use at your risk
Loudest: is very very loud, only use at your risk
Installation Guide:
Rename the original mixer_paths.xml on /system/etc/ to mixer_paths.xml.bak
Copy the modded mixer_paths.xml file to /system/etc/ and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- or 0644
Do the same with the audio_policy.conf file
Rename the original audio_policy.conf on /system/etc/ to audio_policy.conf.bak

Followed these steps but ES File Explorer fails to rename mixer_path.xml.
Rooted, C6833, CM 12.1, all features enabled in ES File Explorer.
PS: I have the same issue when trying to move app to system/app, it fails constantly. I used to do it with ease in Kitkat but dosen't seem to work in Lollipop.
Thanks.

Because i tried the free version but couldn't get it to work, gives me same error as ES: "the file is read only" or something like that.

Nope.
Here is what i did:
- installed the SELinux permission changer
- set it to permissive
-rebooted
-opened ES File Explorer and tried to rename the mixer_paths.xml file but failed (read only)
- installed root explorer (free version) and did the same but got the same error.
Is it something i'm doing wrong?

Okay than do it in another way
Copy the mixer_paths.xml From /system/etc/ to your internal Storage and rename It From there, than copy the renamed file back to /system/etc/
To rename the mixer_paths.xml is not recommend but it is useful when my modded mixer_paths.xml doesn't work, to restore the old mixer_paths.xml )

So that is the last idea I have:
I created a flashable zip only for cm12.1
Flash that in a recovery and reboot, that is my last idea
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP before flashing
What version should I use on CM12?

The LiquidSmooth (SlimLP) version works perfectly on CM12. Thank you for your work!
i test it on cm12
with " solid explorer"
and yes ..WORKED
Tomorrow I will upload a New Version of my Soundmod, it will fix some Problems with the mic and allows high sampling to 192kHz with 24 Bit coding on r_Submix
I have tested it and it works perfectly with Sony MDR ZX600
If i have my Sony MDR 1ADAC, i will do the same for USB Devices

OK everyone, there seems to be mass confusion on what to do to get Viper4Android running, this guide should help clear that confusion.
DO NOT USE THESE FILES UNLESS YOU HAVE A NEXUS 6P. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY USE FILES DESIGNED FOR OTHER PHONES.
Firstly: Are you running normal root or systemless root?
If you are running systemless root I suggest you switch over to normal root to get things working. So far, systemless root has been a roadblock for some people and Viper4Android starts acting up with systemless root installed.
Secondly: Have you flashed any of the billion V4A recovery flashable zips?
If yes, restore your system partition as those have a billion and one differently modified files that will probably screw over how your phone functions.
Thirdly: Do you have enough room in the /system and /vendor partitions?
Install the Busybox binaries (linked below) and open a terminal (using your favorite terminal app, or Terminal Emulator) and run
Code:
df
and make sure that you have enough room for the files.
If your /system partition is full, try deleting common apps like Chrome or Drive and install them from the Play Store as user apps instead.
If your /vendor partition is full, there isn't much to fix other than if you installed overlays for Layers, try uninstalling one (some overlays can go up to 400KB, like ones for Chrome). However, it may seem that you don't need to worry about the /vendor partition, more on that below.
OK, now it is time to continue.
If you don't want to follow this guide, then you can use Lollviper's recovery flashable zip, as it works just fine. Use the standard zip, and not the surround zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
Choose your favorite v2.3.4.0 version of V4A and install it to /system/priv-app/. Just create a folder with the same name as the APK, give it the same permissions as the other folders, and drop the APK in it making sure to also give it the permissions that the other APKs get. If you encounter issues with a customized version of V4A, I suggest you use the standard version. So far, Lolliviper seems to work.
Make sure to install BusyBox, I recommend this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
If the files linked below can't be downloaded, use the zip file at the bottom of this post and continue following the guide.
Now, download this file (49_viper4android.sh) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcp77ul41m...ndroid.sh?dl=0
And create a folder called su.d in /system/. The path should be /system/su.d/, and then give it permissions 0700 with root:root, and drop the script into the folder with permission 0755 with root:root. This script will allow V4A access to mediaserver, so it can see audio to do it's magic. You can make sure that the script worked on boot by checking /data/v4a_script.txt for if it exists, or, was modified recently to correlate with you booting your phone.
Now do the same for this file (audio_effects.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/57y44o74dk...ects.conf?dl=0
And drop the file in /system/etc/ AND in /system/vendor/etc/ (alternatively you can go to /vendor/etc/ as it's actually the same folder). Both of the files should have permissions 0644 with root being the owner and group. This modified file will allow V4A to be used as an equalizer and allow it to do magic in your audio. Quick note, if V4A keeps asking to install the driver, then delete the audio_effects.conf in /system/vendor/etc/ and don't worry about it.
Now the file which will allow V4A to work system-wide, like in YouTube (audio_policy.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/yi8u3j91z3...licy.conf?dl=0
And drop it in /system/etc/ and give it permissions 0644 with root being owner and group, and you are good to go. This modified file removes the "deep_buffer" module that made it so apps that don't hook into Viper4Android (apps that aren't music players) wouldn't have their audio processed. Some of the flashable zips included modified files, but usually only for the Nexus 5.
Now disable or delete the app MusicFX:
This is necessary as Google Play Music will use MusicFX over Viper4Android if the app isn't disabled.
That should be it, you can now continue with your installation of Viper4Android and it should work.
Issues:
Viper4Android still doesn't work!

Are you sure you followed the guide correctly? Wipe everything and start fresh because if you used recovery flashables they do stuff they really shouldn't.

Why do you guys need this? Audio reproduction is excellent and this will only make it sound worse. The only way to improve the sound would be better headphones and/or amp.
Thanks @Namelesswonder for the help .. I have not used your steps might use them based on other users findings and plus these steps will have to redone upon every ROM flash..
I believe all this could be done with a flashable zip , I know we had flashable zips for Nexus5.
@AndrasLOHF I see you have Nexus6P now , will you be able to help us out
Thanks

I haven't rooted or anything yet. From my experience on all the dev previews I would think the Lolliviper zips would still install fine just as they used to. Just don't use the Surround Sound zip.
Thank you! Works great on Nexus 6p. Can't live without the Viper.

Yeah, I just checked it and Lolliviper flashable does work just fine, I'll put it up in the post. My intent for this post was to just outline how to install it without using flashable zips as people were using the wrong ones and having troubles.

You misread what I said. If you like crappy sound, you like crappy sound, nothing can be done about that. Running audio thru any software filter will degrade the quality, period.
I flashed the lolliviper zip, but viper4android keeps asking me to install drivers (even after install and reboot).
Edit: I'll re-flash and wipe dalvik/cache and try again.
Edit 2: Yup, still having the same issue. It also takes awhile for the driver install to happen too (even though it doesn't actually work).

OK then, try using my way instead. Weird, because flashing the zip worked for me. Do you have systemless root? Try renaming the audio_effects.conf in /vendor/etc/, checking the permissions on audio_effects.conf and audio_policy.conf in /system/etc/, and checking that the 50viper.sh file in /system/su.d/ at least has permissions 0755.

I don't have systemless root, but I'll look into the permissions.
Edit: All my permissions look fine. I'll try and tinker around some more. Still not sure why the driver isn't installing.
You probably need more space in the system partition. Delete an app and reinstall from there play store.

Hi guys,
How does this improve audio quality from the speakers? Coming from Boomsound the speakers on the 6P seem to lack any kind of bass. Could viper help in that department?

Because you can tune the way the speakers sound to your liking. It makes the phones speaker and any headphones sound much better than they normally do.
Hi, I had written bad command in ADB and almost all in this folder (/odm/etc/camera/) is deleted.

OK I will try to explain this situation but my English is slightly bad. In a nutshell I had bought used Honor 9 with bad microphone (probably broken flex cable, idk) and I was wondering, how to fix it. I found on Google Play app 'Root Volume Mixer', but it's not working. After searching some information about it I found out, that in "/odm/etc/" folder are some configuration files (.xml, .conf). In this folder you can change a lot of things (e.g. boost up audio jack sound, turn off one of the microphones,...). I changed here microphone intensity and solved my problem.
This Thread is about that I had editted some camera '.xml' files and I had set bad permission (by mistake I had written bad command and had changed permission for whole folder), therefore I didn't see a lot of files in root browser. Today I found out, that all files&folders are still in folder "/odm/etc/camera/". I simply set same permission as before (using chmod calculator, ADB shell and SU) and problem is solved.
thanks !
