(Mod)(audio)Acdb from lg v20 for better audio on headphones and earphones - Zuk Z1 Android Development

Hey guys,
I`ve been testing different acdb(Audio calibration database) for this phone, In order to make audio output greater on headphones without loss of quality.
So in my test, i found out that the acdb from LG V20 is the best for audio output.
In order to use this mod, simply download the file provided below and follow the instructions.
Instructions:-
1)Download the attachment(MTP_Headset_cal.zip) and extract it to get MTP_Headset_cal.acdb
2)use a root browser to navigate to /system/etc/acdb/
3)Backup the original MTP_Headset_cal.acdb to a safe location.
4)Replace the file with the file i provided MTP_Headset_cal.acdb.
5)Change the permissions of the file to Rw-r-r(0644).
6)Reboot the phone to enjoy the music.
Result:-
Audio sounds much clearer than before.
Bass throughput on the earphones is very great in comparison to the previous implementation.
Sound is much louder in comparison to the previous implementation by Cyanogen.
#edit
Now it gives my Ipod touch a run for its money.. ?

If anyone wants to know what an acdb is, It is a file which stores all the calibration for the hardware for audio card on the phone.

Will it work for Bluetooth headphones too?

I have`nt tested it on bluetooth headsets yet, However acording to my guess it wont work on bluetooth as there are seperate files for bluetooth which configure the audio output there.

That zip just contains one file just for headset but not for speaker from where we hear songs etc but phone's speaker contains files for everything.. why don't you paste all those files from lg?

Upload all its files if u can..

When you replace all the files, the audio output becomes horrible. And the phone crashes most of the time then.

I have changed the default .acdb file with this and the sound quality has become superb but can't use headset durning calls as no sound is heard. All other applications work fine except the default phone app...
What to do?
Currently running on LOS 15.1

Earplugs are most probably default... comes with device...
but maybe other device are not supported well...

What have you been using this on sense, gpe or aosp?
When I open viper4android and try load profiles , it sees no profiles ....I've extracted folder to profile folder and also tried just extracting to viper folder ...seems the profile files are .xml and the profile files should be .prf files

OP, could you add the link to Viper4android for the people who don't already have it

Also if you could add instructions for creating the Directory for the first time cause when you first install V4A

Upon installing and setting up V4A we need to simply save the stock profile and then the Profile directory will be made

Due to what I believe has been deemed an issue with the One M8 amplifier drivers since CM11, all audio on CM11/CM12 based roms are VERY loud which leads to tons of distortion. As a guy who really appreciates music and sound quality, I haven't been able to stick with a CM rom for longer than a day without being annoyed by it. There are some settings that are out here that are supposed to get rid of the issue when using V4A for lollipop. I tried it one and still wasn't satisfied... However, with all these new CM12 based roms coming out, I kind of want to give it another try. Maybe some of the presets in this thread could help, but i have not tried and nobody here seems to know either :good:
hope that helps.

Installation should be as simple as Extracting the file then Grabbing and moving the entire "Improved Speakers" folder into Vipers4android's "profile" folder. And Yes The files or .xml files That's what viper4android saved them as So that is what I uploaded them as why would they be .prf???

If you can get Viper4android to work on lollipop(i believe this is possible) then yes it should work as it is Simply a saved preset. I personally do not run lollipop for reasons specific to me.

Yea ...the .prf file is if you don't save the preset setting to make the profile folder first ......

Viper4android?

Is there anyway to get v4a working on nouget? I tired the method the the regular s7 forum but it didn't work.
Look for Viper4Android V2.3.4.0 here on XDA (the one that works without the Selinux permission and has a higher audio fidelity than the newer versions and has the better UI IMO) then flash that puppy. Check if it works and if not you have to Google "Viper4Android on nougat" and it will give you a bypass that has you erase a stock audio file that prevents Viper4Android from working. This wasn't the case for me since I didn't have that file. The version I speak of has Dolby audio; I erased that because it just added more static IMO. I had this with the dual audio mod for a while but it didn't seem to make a difference but add more static.
If this works for you, please update the main post with credit to those sources. If you also want some settings for some Fire Audiophile experience, please ask; I run heavy bass that doesn't drown out music and makes Beats sound way better.

Use a app which test hardware like below or similar to this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.PhoneDoctorPlus
if it doesn't seems to work , go back to your previous rom and check whether Head phones are working.
This is to cross verify whether problem with your jack or rom.

already put 90 for earpiece volume, max is 95. i dont want to take risk. u can try change the value to 95 if u want.
instruction
1. open the mixer file with code editor/text editor
2. use 'Find..' and type in 'earpiece'
3. change the value from 90 to 95
4. save it, reboot.
