Hey fellow unrooted brethren! I have an AT&T Note 4 and as you may know the Verizon and AT&T Note 4's haven't been rooted. I've always rooted my phones and one of the first things I would do is install Viper4Android. Since that's currently not possible, I looked for alternatives. I think I found the best alternative for us non-rooted users. It's called Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO.
I have a thread over in the AT&T section here if you are interested and would like to know more.

It really is :highfive:. Sound quality out my phone through headphones is very important to me. Not sure why more people haven't been interested . Doesn't matter as much anymore as root may possibly be right around the corner and V4A is still superior.
I've tried it, didn't find improvement, least i have equalizer control with stock

Yeah it's not for everyone but maybe for some reason it wasn't your default music effect? I definitely noticed a big improvement in sound quality when paired with my fiio e12 amp and my m50x (for cleaner, tighter, better defined bass) or akg q701/k551 (neutral analytical cans). I even noticed an improvement in my car that doesn't even have good speakers lol. BTW, this app and an EQ app do two different things.
Which one is better? Pro or E series?

E series is supposed to have better sound quality. If you've used viper4android then think of it this way.
Pro series = v4a fx
E series = v4a xhifi
Also, only PRO series works with lollipop. Plus you need to do some extra steps to make it work.
what additional steps to you do to make it work on lollipop?

I use it over bluetooth for my car. It does affect the sound quality a little bit, but no where like you would have with root apps unfortunately. With this app you're able to change the tone and some software effects but the actual quality of the audio is not changed, if that makes any sense... imo this app is better than nothing though.
Any version of this that's compatible with LP?

Hi,
I had check this app's for my Android Car Stereo, but there is no change in Audio Output.
Actually after upgrading to new firmware provided by the seller to fix reverse camera flickering issue, the OS firmware has issue with Audio output (bad quality output, less Bass).
So I tried the apps mentioned here, but it does not work.
Any idea to fix the audio issue on my car android stereo ?

Thank you thank you thank you! I have a Nexus 6P and really did not want to root it, being my daily phone and frequently updated by Google. Keeping up with OTA with root is a royal pain. I almost broke down because I have Viper4Android on my custom ROMed Samsung tablet(mostly due to Samsung's lack of updates) and my Nexus Player(only on Marshmallow but Pure Nexus rocks vs its limited stock ROM) and fell in love with it. I considered Neutron media player the best alternative due to its excellent audio processing and fantastic equalizer. But the problem is it is just a media player and does not cover everything else, though it can stream and play local media. All other equalizers have sucked. This app that you linked does not and it covers everything. You just saved me from being torn between having Google's latest updates and fixes for my phone and installing Viper4Android which I sorely missed whenever I played anything through Bluetooth. Thank you.

You are welcome! By the way I moved on to the Nexus 6P from the Note 4 because I realized I couldn't use an unrooted phone daily. The AT&T Note 4 was my first and last unrooted phone. I personally stayed stock rooted on my N6P for almost a year and didn't mind updating using adb to flash images rather than taking OTAs. I'm now on Pure Nexus and don't miss stock at all.
This app was better than nothing during my time with the Note 4, however, it definitely was no replacement for Viper4Android. Viper4Android processes audio much better, is more reliable, and way more feature rich. Plus, the ability to make even cheap headphones sound like much more expensive ones is a godsend. And Neutron media player is awesome! Best player for music stored in your phone. The audio quality is phenomenal from Neutron. I'm not trying to convince you to root your phone, but just letting you know there really is no replacement for Viper4Android. If you stay unrooted, the app I linked to in the OP is definitely your best alternative. Enjoy!
Very nice of you!!
I'm rooted with viper, but still curious to see how it stacks up against the uncontested champ

I've seen some threads in the International HOX forum, as well as a new ROM in our forum that support Dolby Mobile.
I'm on Cleanrom, and I don't really want to switch ROMS for an audio effect. I'm definitely curious though.
How can I flash Dolby Mobile onto my HOX without any ROM changes?
What about ALSA? I know MixGet is on the play store, but does it work for anyone?

I mean heres the apk. IMO its just another gimmick like beats. Its just a different equalizer. Seriously just use poweramp or playerpro or even the equalizer app from the play store and set your settings according to your preference. Surround sound is not possible through a 3.5mm stereo jack. At best, you will get virtual surround sound which distorts or incorrectly balances sounds.
Thats my opinion. But you are better off sending a PM to XsMagical and ask him about it since he ported the ROM that contains it.
Yup that I know, a gimmick it is for sure. I wish the HOX had a wolfson dac, or a voodoo-like hack of some sort. Driving larger headphones with higher impendence doesn't quite work well here.
Right now I'm using Google music with DSP manager. I'll occasionally leave beats on while at the gym for the fun of it, usually I'm only using an equalizer though. I just wanted to hear what Dolby could do, never tried it before in my life lol.

It's temperamental. So, sadly I can't tell you how to get it to work. I will say the sound improvement is marginal after listening a bit more, not nearly as good on RAZRi as on later phones. May be a hardware limitation. Did you open it after installation, check speaker and/or headphone, and get asked for and successfully install the drivers (being rooted on your RAZRi - essential). Many people have a problem here though I had no problem. The Guide to set up I used is here, and I've kept to the "model" settings so far: http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=43.
A lot of people have problems with getting it working, though. And there is no simple solution. If you can make it a system app, that can help, though I've not found it necessary, as can checking force Viper. The blog above again gives the only published advice that I'm aware of. Sorry, and good luck.
UPDATE:

Hello guys I am just coming from s3 lte. And I got a question because on my s3 I used to use boeffla kernel + cm11. Ofcourse I am gona use xm11 on my nexus 5 too but here comes the question. Do you know any kernels for nexus 5 which are similar to the boeffla one? ( boeffla sound has the best equalizer I have ever been using on my phone) Big thanks.

You can only use kernels that are CAF based like Elemental, Chaos and maybe others. Don't flash AOSP kernels with CM11. For sound control you may look at Viper4android or something like that. Check if it is compatible with CM11.

I might have different opinion on Viper4Android. IMO, Nexus 5 soundchip is already awesome as it is and doesn't need V4A. I think what you need is a proper music player (i use poweramp myself which is very good for me) as the play music has crappy equalizer (shame though, a very nice interface)
IMHO, V4A sound effects are gimmicks and doesn't really give you the true performance of your soundchip. Don't get me wrong, i've tried V4A before because i think the Play Music sound quality is ugly, but then i didn't know that the phone itself is really great at producing high bitrate music (great also on flac). After i tried poweramp, i realized that V4A is just gimmick sound effect, not the true sound.
Again, every person's ear is different, you might have different opinion on V4A.
Give it a try and you'll know it yourself.

Actually there are effects in v4a but the main thing is being able to increase the sampling rate. I'm sorry to say but Poweramp with v4a is better than poweramp without v4a.
Maybe you misunderstand v4a.

Try it.
The DAC we have is good, but it's not as clear as it could be.
I think you'll struggle to match the Wolfson DAC in recent Galaxy phones, especially when used with the DAC Direct option in Boeffla or VooDoo Sound.
Coming from a Note 2, sound quality is the first thing I noticed the N5 was lacking in. Not by much, but still noticeable. Also, if you use decent Bluetooth headphones then you may notice even worse quality as the N5 doesn't support the APT-X codec (obviously the headphones need to support this too).
I'm a long-time PowerAmp user but have only just got my N5 set-up with a custom ROM so still need to test out Viper.
Hi
Can anyone please recommend a good global equaliser app for the U11+?
I used to use Viper4Audio but as this is only for rooted phones it is hard finding a replacement that works as well on the U11+.
Thanks

I literally embarked on a search for one today. I just got this device and already miss my old one which had a system-wide EQ. Here's the one I tried that worked. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devdnua.equalizer.free
I do get a notification prompt that the app is running in the background and that leaves me worried about battery drain. I shall keep searching until I find an almost perfect one or until a custom ROM with Dolby ATMOS gets released.

Thank you. Yes I agree. HTC releases a phone with quality audio DAC but no system-wide/global EQ.
V4A is ideal but only works on rooted phones with permissive kernel, so for now we are left searching.

Hi I tried that app but as soon as I put the higher frequencies up the volume decreased and it changed the dynamics of the sound a fair bit. Same with the bass.
There ust be compatability factors with some devices that have enhanced (preset) EQ.

Sorry if this has been asked, I'm not on here much. Anyway, what's a good alternative to viper 4 Android? I've been on rooted pixels for years, so I really don't know what's best without root. I'm currently using Poweramp equalizer, and that definitely helps with the sound quality. But it doesn't match v4a.
Thanks!

I use it for Bluetooth. Works very well for my car and home audio. I listen to a lot of podcast through the phone speaker and it works very well with the volume Booster that also works for calls over phone speaker
The best way and an alternative for me is VLC media player. I think it's better than V4A. It has really very very punchy and deeep basses, crisp and clear mids and highs. You must check before the equalizer. The downside is that, that i'm not able to stream content from the internet. Need some help, if it possible. Give it a try and have a great time!
Edit: Im using Jabra Elite 75t
I use Poweramp Eq, it´s paid, but not expensive. It process almost system wide like v4a, but you need to run an adb command. It also has a parametric eq, so you can set any band as you want, you can adjust frecuency, quality, gain and type of filer. I have the eq exactly the same as peace eq in my PC for my earphones
@nobrain3000 @danvrez players are not a good option because you won't be able to use Spotify, Youtube or any app that's not the player.
I wasn't using wavelet with it's full potential because I had the free version. Got the paid one and now I can customize bass. While the sound got better, V4A bass (and mids and highs) are way cleaner.
