This has only been tested on the Galaxy S7 Edge for Xfinity. It should work without issue for Verizon as well (since the Xfinity one is merely a rebranding)
It may work on other devices, I don't have any others, so I cannot test or support them. Please let me know if you do, and if it works for you.
FEATURES:
Installs: Xperia Home, Calendar, Clock, Music, Gallery, Sound Recorder, Lounge, LifeLog, Walk Mate, Video, Keyboard, Newsm Weather (and widgets), Movie Creator, Calculator, Sketch, Track ID
Installs: Kevs Tweaks (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...od-performance-memory-battery-kevp75-t3638524)
Installs: Viper4Android & SamsungSans (1000+ fonts)
Removes: Samsung Calendar, Clock, Video Editor, Gallery, Calculator, Music, Sound Alive, Photo Studio
You can update via PlayStore (until I can figure out the best way to do it through the flasher)
SCREENSHOTS:
COMING SOON
REQUIREMENTS:
Be on Nougat already
Root
460 MB Free in /system
DOWNLOADS:
DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#!i0YVnapC!CMTThuT32AdtYequxw421RFVebpMBdW0b6NDZFAKJKc
INSTALLING:
Either open FlashFire or reboot to recovery (if you have a custom one)
Select the zip, and make sure to check 'Mount /system"
Flash, reboot when done (it will clear your cache and dalvik, so first boot after install may take a bit...)
Profit
Once you reboot, your device should ask you to select a 'Home', select Xperia. You can set the keyboard through your settings.
ISSUES:
Cannot set Xperia Home by default, gotta be a Samsung thing... so I had to keep touchwiz installed
Viper4Andoird does not play well with the Sony Libraries (fixing in next version)
Let me know....

Suggestion: Have no idea if this is possible but maybe include a script to enable apps in the disabler list so we don't have to manually type them all.

Not sure if I said it right but I mean like for example when we install roms In aroma we get a list of apps of which we want to install ... maybe like add that option so we can select which apps we want to include in the rib disabler list

That would be much too huge of a list mate.
Any updates forthcoming for this or the HTC/Blackberry ports you mentioned? It's great to have another custom ROM (or Mod or whatever) for us poor Snapdragon/Locked BL suckers and I'm surprised this hasn't received more attention, considering how few choices we do have on that front. (What, this, Stang5litre's ROM, the now-discontinued-I-think EchoeROM and...that's it?)
I'm running it on the US Cellular G935R4 variant and it seems fine (I've had 935V and 935U firmwares on this phone with no issues in the past, so I didn't anticipate any problems anyway). I did hit one early snag when the installer refused to continue due to lack of space - only around 175mb available in /system out of the required 460-some or whatever it is. Once I went back and deleted enough junk to make room, I was basically good to go.
I have noticed the following (non-major) "issues":
1). The Sony apps are almost all "outdated" and will request you to download updates from the Play Store. No big deal, but figured I'd mention it. By and large the apps update smoothly and without any problems...
2). Except for the Xperia Home launcher itself. The bundled version here is 10.2.A.3.0 and works fine, but is missing features like a pull-up app drawer, so you'll probably want a newer build. The launcher doesn't seem to have a built-in update trigger like the other Sony apps though, so you'll need to search it out yourself - only you'll find that the Play Store doesn't think you have Xperia Home installed. If you try to hit Install anyway, it'll download and fail with a 505 error. Solution? What worked for me was loading Aptoide, where I found "Xperia Arc Launcher" listed in my available updates. No idea what the "Arc" version is or what the difference is - it isn't in the Google Play Store as far as I can tell, and my phone still only lists it as "Xperia Home" - but whatever, this one installs and took me to version 11.2.A.0.3. (FWIW, the version in the Play Store that fails to install seems to actually be a bit older than what I found on Aptoide, and is listed as 11.0.A.0.8)
3). The "Album" app requests an update (which can be ignored). The bundled version of Album is 8.2.A.0.8 and seems to work fine. Following the request within the app takes you to the Play Store and installs v8.6.A.0.4, which - at least on my device - attempts to open but always freezes and force closes. I've tried clearing data/cache before/after updating but get the same result. (The update suggested by Aptoide is the same version, so no luck there this time.)
4). Here's a somewhat bigger issue, but this one might very well be isolated to my device - as in mine personally, not the USCC variant - because....I dunno, just seems screwy. The Xperia keyboard isn't working at all. Version 8.0.A.0.100 is bundled. I can see the Xperia Keyboard listed when I click on Manage Keyboards under input settings, but it's greyed out and unselectable. Play Store updates you to 8.0.A.0.110 but same result. Anyway, what seems weird to me is that the Samsung keyboard (which is the one in use) also appears greyed out, leading me to suspect something screwy on my end. Maybe not, I dunno.

Anyway, these are all tiny quirks at worst, I'm just mentioning them to offer a full report/critique. Otherwise this is neat, and I hope there's more in the future, not just from this project but hopefully it will inspire others and remind them that a locked bootloader doesn't mean we can't do *anything* with these devices. Let's see more FlashFire-capable ROMs/Mods/whatever the hell you want to call 'em!
* ETA: So I got the Xperia Keyboard working by just freezing/disabling the Samsung Keyboard, at which point a dialog from XKB instantly popped up asking to download the English-language dictionary pack and the XKB was now default and working fine. I defrosted the Samsung KB and it seems that the Xperia KB is still active and in control for now at least.

Thank you to all who tested. Now start getting your phones ready for the final build.
Themers:
Check Post #2 for a package of app & framework files. A good majority of the apps are from FRF91 Vanilla Android build so if you have packages that already work with that build then most should work here. Please make sure all packages are compatible. Please use the framework-res.apk provided since it is unique to this ROM. It is much different than the OEM Drodi2 packages.
ROM Developers:
Feel free to use this as a base for your own ROM. Please just respect us and give Matt, Drod and myself the proper credit and a link back to the threads.
History:
Being bored one day and sick of Blur with all the extra services I started to rip the ROM apart. Finally getting it as clean as I can and being forced to have a bit of blur I began a search on how to get rid of it all. I ended up on the MotoDev website to see what I can find when I bumped into the D2 SDK. Shockingly it was a plain vanilla build of Android. I thought why not and tried to boot it up. Ii did ( see first video here[/URL] ) with lots of bugs. The screen res as all off and we had no radio or many other hardware functions. On top of that it ran like a turtle stuck in some molasses. I sent a message of my my buddy Matt4542 and our journey began. From there Drod and I hooked up and now we have this. It has been a long rough week getting this sucker to where it is now. It was fun, frustrating and we nearly killed each other a few times but all ended well since we have a great finished project.
We kind of built AOSP ROM by hand. Some may say it is not a true AOSP ROM but it is. There is no difference between this build and a true AOSP ROM besides any tweaks that the developer may add when creating a ROM from source. We had no choice to do it this way since Moto locked us out of the bootloader (for now and next project). Many of the apps are built from source. About 90% of the app folder is built from source. We added some packages from the D2 that are a bit better and required for hardware reasons. There is NO Blur left in the ROM but for a moto-res.apk file that is required by the framework.
What will this ROM do?
It will give you a true Android Vanilla experience much in the same way the Original Droid (OD) did. It is not loaded with bloatware and everything functions as it should. Facebook will sync with your contacts and you will not have all of your memory being used by wasteful stuff on top of much more. Your phone will run more smoothly and feel a lot faster.
What can you do to help?
The most important thing is to provide feedback. When reporting bugs please be clear and with detailed explanation. Do not say this does not work and leave it that. The more feedback you provide will make it easier and quicker for us to kill any bugs. You may also give us a small donation to help with our continuing development of ROM and *POSSIBLY* get this bootlader cracked. It cannot be done with one device. I have a couple of friends who have experience with low level programming of chips and with their help maybe it can get done. They are Blackberry guys and not going to buy a device just for this. This is nothing more than a promise that it will be tried. I cannot say when and IF it can be done so please keep the questions to a minimum about it. If the project takes off then I will have updates. You can donate to the project by clicking HERE.

I'll be the first to ask - do we need to do all of the wipes if we are upgrading from RC1?
is this the final build?? cause its version 1.0 and are you guys going to provide ota updates?? other than that rom looks AWESOME
Appreciate the hard work guys!
Works great! So much better than the stock D2 ROM.
Cell standby is still an issue
So far so good.
Only two minor things. There is no easy to get to end-call button, which you already know about, and it seems like there is not speech to text support. Not that I really use speech to text, but it could come in handy.
Edit: Nevermind. Might just need to enable it in settings.
Contact Ringtones still don't work
Otherwise, it's gRRRRRRRRReat!
Seems like some bad blood brewing over this ROM on the droidforums page for it. AngDroid/MotoBoy, we all greatly appreciate your work (you too Matt4542! (and anyone else who doesn't get as much time in the lime light!)). As long as you are satisfied with the outcome of the ROM we all appreciate you sharing it with us. Just ignore the lamers that expect you to jump at their every beck and call. It's the first AOSP type ROM for the Droid 2, very first of it's kind for a very locked down phone, which in and of itself is a great accomplishment. If you ever fix anything in Fission, great, if not, I'll continue to look forward to what you develop in the future.
I'm still also curious about your twitter post from the other day, talking about your new Fusion ROM series. Interested to see how that one differs from both stock and Fission.
I am getting the USB problem like I was getting in Beta II. It would connect fine when I first loaded the rom up, and then half the day would pass by and then I can't connect the phone to the computer. Kind of weird. Pretty sure that I can charge from the wall. Just not sure why the USB isn't working.

I wonder if it's something underlying with your phone that's causing that issue. You'd think if it were a common bug you'd see other users complaining about it (as this thread on droid forums is about 8 pages long at this point). Given that it's you, who wrote the tutorials for some of the early D2 stuff, I have no doubt you followed all the steps for installing the ROM. Did you happen to SBF and start stock before going to Fission? I wonder if it could have resulted from flashing over another ROM. Very strange issue though, when I get a good chance to roll my phone up to Fission 1.0 I'll see if I experience the same thing (Thursday is probably a good day to flash, too many phone calls I can't miss between then and now).

Before concluding the phone I would ask if it were happening before this rom. Have you tried any other usb mode to see if it recognizes it? I'm sure you have because you are darkonion...

How is it an issue? If your phone is on for 10 hours and you use cell for 1 hour of course it is going to eat the greatest percentage of battery use. The issue is the time is off now and then.

We tested this on IRC and it is working for everyone who tested.
if ud like a phone apk like this hit me up with a pm and ill send it to u
Does this ROM contain the ability to link contacts?
The reason I ask is because there are a few facebook contacts of mine that do not list their numbers on their profile but I have their numbers in my phone book. And when I installed Fission RC1, Facebook will list them as a contact but will not show them with the profile and with phone numbers I have in my phone. I recall being able to have that ability to link contacts in the stock D2 rom. Is this feature part of the Blur crap?
It really wouldn't even be an issue if the Facebook contacts were not read-only. I'd just add the numbers to their contact information on the phone then... But I can't. Go Facebook.
Go to the contact u want. Hit menu>edit then hit menu>join then u can pick the facebook contact u want to link it to

LiquidSense 2.1
Note
This is the ODEX'd version. If you're looking for the themable Deodex version, check here
THE TITLE HAS ONLY BEEN CHANGED TO CLARIFY THIS IS STILL ANDROID 2.1. The download version is still the same as before. I felt this would make more sense.
Battery Mod Is Here!
mozman has verified that the Super Circle Battery Mod with % does indeed work. I have run the mod through the same optimization scripts that I put the entire ROM through, so you can be sure you are getting a pure optimized ROM that will run as fast as possible. Download link for this optional mod is at the bottom of this post.

Well, for those of you who know me, I've decided to finally give Android ROM building a shot. It's a learning process, but I'm picking up on it pretty quickly, and I must say it's a ton of fun so far . I owe my inspiration to the likes of theimpaler747. ASimmons, zenulator, and of course, NFinitefx45. These guys all work hard to bring you great stuff, without their advice, I'd be nothing.
I need beta testers! I've been using this ROM for some time now but I need YOU to tell me if there's anything wrong with it . Please go easy on me, I'm still learning the ropes of this stuff. Any and all feedback is appreciated! If any of you veteran ROM devs come across this, feel free to drop me some advice
Who is this ROM for?
This is for a pretty broad range of people; those who are interested in stock Sense minus the bloat. I've removed a fair amount of bloat, including all the Sprint apps and a few HTC apps/Widgets that I feel are of little value. The ROM is also fully png-optimized, as well as zipaligned. That, paired with the fact it's an ODEXed ROM (might add deodex in the future) as well as Zen's AnyKernel, makes for a quite zippy ROM that only gets faster as you use it.
What is this ROM's base?
This ROM is based off of Nfinitefx45's fantastic rooted .7 ODEX release (link). While we're on that topic, I'd like to say that all the credit for rooting/getting the base of this ROM out the door is ENTIRELY credited to Nfinite. I take no credit for the rooting process, the addition of busybox, the addition of A2SD, and anything that you see in his .7 thread. Nfinite is a genius, and he has inspired me to create this offshoot of his ROM.
So what do I gain by trying this?
Simply put? Speeeed. Lots of it. Check out the tech specs for the full skinny on why.

Addons
I suggest you use Android Commander to push these back in.
Removed System APKs - This contains all the removed Widgets and APKs from System/App. This does not include GMaps/QuickOffice. To use, unzip it, delete what what you don't want, and either adb push it into system/app or use Android Commander to do so. NOTE: If you're looking specifically for Sprint VVM, it's the apk called "sprint_core.apk". It's the only APK that isn't obviously named, sorry about that!
Removed Data APKs - This currently includes Google Maps and Quickoffice. Both of these can be DLed from the market, and it's probably easier to do it that way, not to mention the ones on the market will always be up to date. However, if you'd prefer to save a bit of time, they are here for you. They do not need to be pushed, simply drop em on your SD card, and enable Unknown Sources temporarily and install using a file manager. HINT: If you don't want to grab a file manager or want to save some time, just copy the download URL, paste it in an email message to yourself, and open it from your phone. The phone's browser will handle the downloading of the APK, and you can just tap the apk from the list of downloads to initiate the install .
Removed Ringtones - These are all the ringtones that were removed. The reason they are not in the ROM is because they are better off on your SD card, freeing up a whole 2 MB on your system memory. What I suggest you do (to avoid having to adb push all of these) is to simply make a folder on your SD card with the following path :media\audio\ringtones\ . Put all the ringtones in there, and that way, no matter what ROM you use in the future, you'll always have the ringtones in there . If you'd prefer not to do this, you can adb push or use Android Commander to push them to system\media\audio\ringtones\. NOTE: Your your android.phone process might FC if you have no ringtones present. Either create the path above on your SD card and put something on it, or push the ringtones. A minor service release might have me putting a very tiny "Silent" ringtone in the folder to prevent any FCs from happening. Again, if you store ringtones on your SD card, this won't affect you at all.

Liquid's Tips!
~ On first startup, sign into your Google account but don't do Facebook sync. Wait till you boot into the ROM, and connect to a wifi hotspot (if you have one). Once the sync icon goes away, and your google account has finished syncing, then get started with Facebook sync. Remember, Facebook sync, at least for the Contacts syncing, happens in tiers. It'll do, for instance, A-E first, wait a bit, and then it will do F-P, etc etc. Have some patience .
~ Battery! As much as always on sync is useful, there are a couple things you can do to lengthen your battery life. For instance, for Google, I always leave Gmail sync on. But ask yourself, how often are you adding/removing Contacts from your Google account? I don't do that too often, so uncheck contacts. Also, unless I have major changes to be made to my Google Calender, I also leave GCal syncing off as well. Once it finishes its first-time sync, all your events are there anyway. Next up, Facebook! The big deal for me for Facebook is that I run it once and my Contact images sync together. I'm not a big user of the Live feed. So for me, once my contacts' images finish syncing, I leave both unchecked. These two tweaks will save you some juice, because it'll drop the number of things/times your phone checks for at the specified interval.
~ GPS! I've found that using the same fix for faulty GPS locks in CM6 in this ROM actually improves the GPS lock time like mad. Grab "GPS Status" from the Marketplace and reset/redownload the A-GPS cache. After I did this, I had a super accurate lock in under 4 seconds using Google Maps
~ Task Killers! In my experience, I've found that task killers tend to do more harm than good. My suggestion is to simply place a shortcut to "Running Services" on your homescreen, and check it periodically. For instance, GTalk Service likes to come up every so often, and when it does, I just end it. For the most part, I've done well without a task killer. Android was designed to manage its memory pretty well! Again, I know this is a debated idea, so take with a grain of salt NOTE: Do not end GTalkService while using the Market. GTalkService is also the service that pushes your Google Account credentials to apps that require it, your Market being one of them.
~ Random bits:
I've found that pressing Menu while in the Sense App Drawer and switching to List View makes the scrolling a bit faster and smoother
Not using all 7 homescreens? Make sure there's no widgets on the ones you're not using. I've found marginally better performance and battery life from doing so.

Great. Be sure to tell if it flashed properly with no errors (shoudln't be any) and if you run into any FCs. Also let me know if you notice a bit better performance
I will download it and report back with this rom

Can you provide a zip file of the removed apks? That would be great in case people want to reinstall anything.

No problems here. WiFi works, Bluetooth works and keyboard functions fine.

Using ClockworkMod recovery.
So far, so good. Did a nandroid, wiped, flashed, and it booted right up. No problems.
Edit: Noticing the speed. So far very fast and snappy.
GPS works great. Just a few seconds to find my position in my house near a window.
I've been using AOSPmod for a few weeks now, but I'll try this. Might go back to sense. Will report back with results
EDIT: uhh... Having a really weird problem. the keyboard is pressing Q no matter what button I push
I might even try this one, though I'd prefer deodex.
@OP: Been looking for something like this. A lean, mean rom.
Someone else already suggested a zip with the apks that were removed incase people want to add one or two back. Personally I like SprintVVM on stock roms, for example.
Next, have you seen this slightly dated thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581976 it talks about what people have found to be safe to remove from the stock HTC rom. It's a bit dated, but most of what is written still works. Something to toy with.
Of course we could just take your rom and delete the extras ourselves -- the beauty of the game
Not bad so far. Will run awhile and see if gets laggy after awhile like all sense roms seem to do.

Good job...ROM I've been looking for as an alternative to CM6.
Since this is based on nfinites .7 stock will the kernels he posted work with this? Not a big fan of SetCPU or OC Widget and my phone is happy at 710. Actually it's happiest at 729 but I don't know how to modify the kernel to default to that
Installed and running smooth so far
Running smooth so far. Going to run it for a couple of days to see how it is on battery. I think this is the perfect ROM for me. I do not use any of the stuff you took out.

BIG THANKS to Blue6IX for the new script and files.
Does this version of the market again show all apps, or just the "top" apps like the other versions released of the new market?
I know for an absolute fact there are more then 8 paid apps in the photography category...yet that is all I can see under any new market version. I stubbornly resist any so-called "upgrade" until I can see more then just a few apps in each category.
Did they bring back all apps yet?
To keep using that category as an example - I can see more paid apps in the photography category then I can count running the old market, which thankfully shipped on this phone out of the box - yet in the new market I can only see 8.
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade that likes the new interface, but this question begs to be answered.
In the new market I can see, by page, (again, number of apps is in photography category)
Top Paid - 8
Top Free - 13
Top Grossing - 9
Top New Paid - 12
Top New Free - 15
In the old market, with the same device, I can see:
Top Paid - uncountable number of apps...
Top Free - uncountable number of apps...
Just In - uncountable number of apps...
And this is just the photography category as an example.
I'd much rather have the choice to browse through a healthy amount of apps, then be limited to 57 apps total for the entire category, including all paid and free options.
How do they get to be "top" if no one can see them?
Again, not trying to be negative, but i'm unwilling to convert to the new interface if it means I can't really see any apps. Does this new version allow you to see more then just a few, or are you still limited to basically nothing?

You can't install over the market on the fly, unless you take specific steps to do so...just trying to install the .apk file will not work. I'll expand on this elsewhere - Link Here for the last market version from this thread and an explanation on how to make it.

The right way to do it is to install as an update through clockworkmod, so it all happens while the system is down. Doing it this way, you just have to wait a few minutes after the next time it boots to rebuild cache and the dalvik cache.
When you click your market app, it will ask you to agree to the terms of service. Any shortcuts to the market you have should be updated to the new icon and still in proper working order, even if they were in folders.
You're in luck, because I needed something to use as an example to teach someone standing next to me how to write their own updates for their phone. Since I did it for my own phone first, to show him how it all worked, now you have tested and working update packages for each app.
To install, download the one you want and get it to the main directory on your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery, then select 'install zip from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sdcard' and then whatever zip you downloaded.
Choose yes on the next screen and it will start the process. This script will get rid of the old market and install the new one, cleanly.
It's self contained, and clears everything you need to worry about, so you can just run it and reboot. Remember, though, your next boot will take a few minutes more then normal so just be patient and let it do it's thing. Try to give it a few minutes after it boots to let it sit and finish.
If you try to use your phone too quickly after this update, you will find some apps not to be installed and whatnot. Just wait for a few minutes - once the phone finds everything again it'll all be fine. The more apps you have installed, the longer this will take.
Enjoy your new market, and make sure to click thanks on Charlieb620's post at the top of the thread.
I really like the green one, green is my favorite color.

Thanks to you both =). There was a time where i developed a theme or two for haykuro's 1.5 build and a few other builds down the road... But that was years ago. Silly that i didnt think to sign the zip and try the install that way. Good lookin out =)

The defragmentation on boot remove void spaces in the databases in /data/, thus they size is reduced, but the boot time will increase.

Can be inserted a sort of live chat (IRC) that can allow to ppl that using Revolver Part to comunicate in real time for problems or other? This client could be started only by user's needs (i remember that for example Jdownloader have a plugin inside that allow to enter in a dedicated chat room for speech to Devs or other users).

lol but also StarTrek Technology was exaggerated years ago ^^ i suggest to insert a plug that allow Revolver's user to communicate to each other in a sub-community reserved for Revolver ROM in this case ppl that have simple problem can ask on chat without re-write same things in the main topic on XDA
directories for downloads for a mod be in /ClockWorkMod/mod/file.zip , them- /ClockWorkMod/theme/file.zip
also these should be configurable and delete the all zips on sd or a selective one in the clockworkmod folder
for apps
a market selection, honeycomb market, or stock...
screen calibration
Being able to download the full flash able rom within the app would be nice. Along with downloading updates, I always make sure I have a full version on hand in case something goes wrong.
But because of the "download failed" bug, downloading the flash able full from is all but impossible from my tablet.
If the Galaxy Tab 10.1 ebook reader gets ported over and added to other you will officially be the best person ever gnufabio
Feature Request:
While Its easy to do in CM thanks to the CM tools, I have had to manually change the device name!
Ill be asking this of roach for his Prime rom (come on, I love jumping from release to release checking out the hot-spots before returning ) "Prime Tweaks" as well!
What I currently have to do:
$ su
# getprop net.hostname Android_A100001B6A55CA
# setprop net.hostname RevolverPoweredTF101
In terminal, maybe you could add this somewhere in Revolver parts so I can easily change it from there instead of terminal or some other 3rd party software
market crashes
my market keeps crashin after i open my apps
[edit] fixed by unistalling markte v3.1.5 and installing v3.3.11
i have revolver parts installed but why is my sub-category empty, like for example when i click Mods - their is nothing listed, is that normal? pictures show that their is number of items....
Thanks to anyone for their suggestions, I will keep them present

Its the device's DNS hostname (like the computer name setting in Windows). CM7 has the option to change this on the Settings > Applications > Development page. I agree that this would be handy to include in Revolver Parts.
gnufabio said:

That string is exactly what it says its for the HOSTNAME... thought that was a given
But seriously however, the hostname is the name the device presents to other devices on a network! IE If I go to the network area on my WinBlows PC it shows me the PC's on my network and the names associated with them, IE I see Desktop, Craptop, NetCrap, DorimanxPoweredHD2 and RevolverPoweredTF101
You can also see the hostnames (easier IMHO) if you go to your routers status or lan status page (I use DD-WRT so I see it on the SYS-INFO page), IE I see HOSTNAME : IP : MAC : LEASE TIME
The hostname is a commonly used identifier for devices on a network making them human identifiable (and with 5 Android devices in this household, seeing Android_435knl324hn5l324hnln5l32 a few times with just a different following string each time is annoying as piss... hell you could even make a default host name for when people flash your ROM and only the most picky (*me+some others) would notice... or want to change it to something else
Needless to say, if you decided to come up with a default HostName to use on your ROM's Id support it 100%, BUT make sure you have the option in Revolver Parts to rename it to something else incase someone has more then one or is anal (me) about naming schemes!
Thanks again!
Maybe would be nice a sub-category under Themes called "Battery Skins", or something like that, where to put different skins for the awesome battery-with-percentage mod.
Another new feature that you could add is a simple way to let users share their mods to the community, maybe after a compatibility check etc...
Last but non least you could add a "tips & tricks" section with some usefuls mods, like "change screen resolution" "font size" or as said before to set a custom Hostname and other cool stuff....
Thanks for your great work Gnufabio!

Introduction
Many users are enhancing their smartphone audio experience with the popular ViPER4Android software, but some of us have a hard time installing the driver or they don't like the look of the app. As a solution for these troubles we have rewritten the 2.4.0.1 app source and added all 2.5.0.5 features to it. Many more features have been implemented too.
With our huge success of ViPER4Android 2.6 we decided to completely rewrite the ViPER4Android app in Kotlin. This allowed us to squeeze out the remaining bugs and clean up the code even more. After a long time of waiting for you and developing for us, ViPER4Android 2.7 is finally here!
There are many new features and improvements compared to 2.6, of which some can be found in the changelog. Hit the download button to check it out yourself!
Downloads
You can download the latest version on XDA Labs

If you want to include the app in your work, you're free to do so as long as you give proper credits
Legal notice
We are not associated with vipersaudio nor audlabs.
Stating their Github readme we're free to use the driver as long as it's not used commercially.
The driver parameters are obtained from the 2.4.0.1 source. The graphical EQ interface is inspired by the Cyanogenmod DSP application
The app is still named ViPER4Android, because the driver isn't any different from what ViPER ACOUSTIC provides.
Renaming it without changing anything would be considered kanging, which is not what is going on here.

Make sure any other audio mod is disabled/removed before installing the driver. We really cannot afford fixing every single device setup, especially when it's not related to the app
If you would like to report a bug, pm @Team_DeWitt using the following format:
[Describe the problem and your steps you take to reproduce it]
[Phone brand and model]
[OS (ROM) + Android version]
[Root method (in case of magisk: core or full)]
[Provide a link to your log file]

Answers to some related questions
Help, the driver status says no
In case of Enabled: no; Please flip the Master limiter switch and go sit in a corner for a while
In case of Processing: no; If you use an application that uses audio sessions, enable session attaching in the settings. If that does not work, the audio is routed over session 0. You might want to try Audio Compatibility Patch from the Magisk repository in this case.
What happened to the profiles?
They're now called presets. They are reworked to use independently per device, a feature that was very welcome. Because of many technical changes and improvements on how the preset is stored and loaded, they are not compatible with older versions than 2.7. You will have to recreate them by hand unfortunately. You can access the menu by pressing the selected device in case you missed the huge showcase when you first launched the app after installing the driver
Why does your Magisk module not work?
Probably because you installed some other mod that also has an audio_effects file in it. Whatever module gets loaded last will become active
The easiest way to bypass this is to let the app build a module after you installed all your favorite audio mods, and delete all files containing audio_effects in the other modules
AudModLib will not come in handy this time, because the app doesn't flash a zip that AML can intercept
Where can I find the source code?
You can't. And there is an obvious reason for that: This app is more sensitive to kangers who start selling this app, likely after adding their bullsh*t to it, rather than to people who actually want to help improve the app. Something like that already happened in the past to other audio software here on xda. Not really something we want to see happen again
Where did the Selinux switch go?
What..? Are you really that careless security wise?
The app handles this in a much more sophisticated way now. It injects only the absolute necessary rules to allow V4A to process, fully automatically
Help, why do I still experience service drops?
Probably because doze is kicking in because Android doesn't like long running services. The service has been implemented the way the docs suggest. You can try excluding it from doze. Alternatively you can check out dontkillmyapp.com for tips
Do you have a zip file for me?
No. There is no point in providing a zip file anymore. The driver installation is written from scratch and actually works now
How do I uninstall the driver?
Use Magisk Manager to delete the module. If you use another root solution, you can dirty flash your rom or just leave it there
Awesome! Works perfectly with the super quality driver 2.3.4.0 :good:
Oh my goodness.... That Easter egg... Scared the s h i t out of me, coz had the volume pretty much on max
Is there an option to install systemlessly with magisk?
Hey could we possibly get a black version instead of grey, it would look fantastic on AMOLED displays. There ones was a Substratum theme like that for the original materialised version, maybe something similar for this one?

Hello Shuli,
There is currently not an option for that, however when Magisk is detected, it will automatically create a Magisk module to install the driver systemlessly.

We're are currently in the progress of creating that, so stay tuned!
this ester egg ^^ Realy good work install with driver in less 1 minutes everithings more beautifull and still amazing sound thanks for your hard work
"Devices other than headset not loading (fixed in next release)"
Bluetooth works for me after I load an effect profile
Also, that was the fastest that Viper has ever installed for me. Well done.
Hmm, it seems to have a funny audio glitch whenever I launch the app. My music kinda gets quieter for a second.
Will there be a way to revert to the old materialised look? I feel like either an option to go back or have a hybrid would be nice.
I also miss the dials since the huge menus aren't fun to scroll through. Especially since you can't fine tune some of them. Maybe a slider would work too?
Also another thing is to add back the search option in the DDC menu.
Love theme though.
Been testing it all day. Gotta say nice job guys! Super easy to install, nice look and feel, improved work flow having everything on one page. I also like that there is no static when changing the settings.
Nice app, 5 stars! If I could add something it would be the ability to collapse the sections so that it isn't cluttered with the settings I don't use. Also an easy way to download convolvers.
Favorite feature: the way you built the EQ. I can just drag my finger along it and make the arc I want. Beautiful!
Thanks guys!
Unfortunately doesn't work on my Pixel 2 XL. Both drivers say they installed fine in the app and to reboot, then gets stuck on the Google splash screen, from which I have to manually reboot to get the phone to come on again, and after this neither driver sticks (0.0.0.0, driver status abnormal etc).
It's strange as the last V4A to work for me was Ahrion & zackptg5's version 2.8 (which weirdly still works fine); all of their subsequent releases didn't either.
Let me know if providing any logs will help!
Working great on OP5 OOS 5.0.4 with Magisk Detected

Hey erak606, currently there is no way to revert to our old themed version, however we will put it online again on XDA Labs soon. About fine-tuning, we've thought about but sticked with the lists, however we might change that in the future. We are not sure about it yet.
Adding back the search option is an good idea, we will pay some attention to that in our next release.

Hey Bartws95, bummer to hear your driver installation is not working, logs are definitely helpfull, make sure to grab the logs after the installation and before rebooting. Since you stated it did work with Ahrion & zackptg5's version, I will also contact them. Thanks for the report!
