Cyanogens DSP Manager for ALL Roms/Stock

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795233
Just did some searching and found this.
It's cyanogens DSP Manager and in my honest opinion, the best equalizer out there, it's a must have.
all you do is download the APK(don't download the zip) and install it and just tweak the settings afterwards.

Kind if works, bass does nothing but equalizer works perfectly, suprised this works without a library

Cool maybe its possible to get the gesture lock from cm7 too.

This apk has the library packed with it.
Bass boost worked for me same as all the others.
I'm on 2.3.4 for r800a

[Q] What should I know about using PowerAmp and Viper4Android together?

I just downloaded PowerAmp (love it so far) and am also continuing to use Viper4Android. Is there anything I should know about -- things to avoid, tips, etc.? For instance, is it OK to use both equalizers at the same time?

Why would you want to use both the equalizers at the same time?? The sound will surely be not up to the mark! Use the V4A FIREequalizer!
If you are having problems with PowerAmp, you first need to do this: Go to PowerAmp Settings - Audio - Advanced Tweaks. Now disable Direct Volume Control and enable Music FX!
If you have any more concerns about V4A, you need to read the official thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
and the Nexus 5 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/viper4android-t2543796
Everything's been explained clearly!

When you install V4A direct volume control is now 'non supported' by default (at least on the latest slimkat).
Enabling musicfx did nothing for me (I left it on anyway).
V4A did not work in compatibility mode for me, I had to run it in 'normal' mode, and turn the poweramp EQ off, so far everything is working good. I can't really tell a difference when I switch preset settings on the equalizer though..so that might not actually be working for me

I was having problems as well, Poweramp didn't want to cooperate with V4A. What I noticed is that Poweramp was still using Android's default equalizer so what I've done is I disabled MusicFX app and reboot the phone. Poweramp started using V4A thanks to that

I can sum it up in an acronym.....P.I.T.A.

You sir are amazing. I've been struggling for days trying to get Viper4android to work with PowerAmp. The answer was to uncheck direct volume control in the advanced tweaks. Everything is all good now. My ears and my brain thank you!!

be sure to change the player to Awesomeplayer. (Settings===>Developer Options)
That should fix the Google Music Player cut off?

Oh yeah. Totally forgot.

Can't get this to work at all with Google Play Music (the only app I use to stream.)

- Used Tasker to set permissive on boot
- Disabled NuPlayer
- Disabled and froze Audio Effects.

Put it in compability mode. I got it to work with normal mode after flashing extreme music mos, but for gplay music just disable Motorola equalizer and put it in compability mode and select it in sound effects.

Thank you! I've been so used to having it easily working on Nexus 5 that I forgot about compatibility mode.
This method also works with a shell command I have in Tasker that allows V4A to run without having to use AwesomePlayer and setting SELinux to permissive.
/system/xbin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"

Your comparing stock sound to Viper. No comparison. If you install viper and nothing sounds different then something is wrong. To troubleshoot you can search for viper4androind thread. Or tell me how you installed and will try to help.

For reference so that he knows what you mean by that. Are you saying that Viper has better decoding (ie closer to source) or that it just has a better soft mixer to make things sound better? Ie one of those is better if your BYI DAC and the other is just trying to make the best out of the stock DAC and speakers. Or is it a great app for both of those cases?

It's been a while since I had Viper on one of my phones, I will have to give this a try and report back how it sounds. Thanks for the post!

Actually, he/she is making a very valid point. The audio reproduction on the phone is one of the best on the market and it's no slouch compared to standalone audio equipment.
http://www.gsmarena.com/moto_x_style_pure_edition-review-1308p6.php#aq
To take audio and run it thru a bunch of software filters is just going to degrade the quality. Period. You think it sounds better because you're accustom to crappy sounding sound. The only real way to make it sound better is to get some decent headphones and maybe a headphone amp if the headphones have a high impedance.

After thinking about it. Your right. This phone has best sound of any phone or tab I've had. Og droid, HTC rezound, galaxy nexus, Sam g4, LG g2, nexus 7 2013. Also have a g4 which is loud but sounds like crap when pushed. Always used Viper to mask the poor sound quality or volume. But on the other hand your saying as popular as viper is, where just listening to crap. Then we all have some pretty bad hearing. I think it is different for everyone as we all don't hear the same sounds so tweaking is the only way to reproduce what we are missing. I will try running with no viper on my MXP and see if it appeases me. Thanks for the input though I feel this will always be debated.

I am unable to get Viper4Android to work. SELinux is set to permissive, V4A is a system app and AwesomePlayer is enabled. Am I missing something?

I had this problem after a factory reset trying to correct a signal issue. I installed as I have outlines and nothing. So I restored the backup I had with viper running. Didn't want to spend to much time fixing it cause we should have roms relatively soon. Wish I new what else to say. Viper is the easiest to install on a mostly stock Google experience. One thing I can suggest is to turn of amp eq in MXP music player.

Dsp/sound mods on MTCD?

I think I read that the sound mods like Viper's don't work on the MTCD-units, but I can't find it now. Due to the sound chip iirc. Any news on this? Does it work on MTCB units?

Viper4android works on MTCD, I assume it also works on MTCB. Perhaps what you heard references the MTC Radio. V4A does not effect/work on the radio but it works fine for me on spotify.

Really!? Great news! Mind telling me how you installed?

I've both side loaded the APK after downloading it from the fourms here and I've also installed the unsupported one from google play store. I just use the play store one now as it's easier then side loading. Both ways work fine tho

thanks! will install later today.

Played around with this yesterday and can confirm that the unofficial play version works great with everything except the FM radio. I want to check out Dolby Atmos as well, but can only find it as a flashable zip and I guess you can't flash zips from the recovery on these units. Only update images.

FM radio isn't a digital component I bet. FX works by processing a digital sound stream the FM radio basically is just a fm tuner with digital controls that plugs straight into the amp more/less. Output from digital sources is simply muted or fed in alongside the FM signal so FX could never touch it.

is there a Viper4android for dummies guide?

I use V4A ... just need to find the proper IRS files for a Logic 7 Harmon Kardon system

I installed Viper4Android on a Malaysk modded unit and I bricked the sound and buttons. Had to reflash to get it back. Everything was going fine until it asked me to install the driver.
I'm assuming you're talking about Viper FX is that correct?

Viper4Adroid works fine for me... just make sure you have busybox installed, and you may need to have Viper4Android in the system/priv-app folder so it's not killed by the system. Also, make sure MusicFX is disabled.

Yeah I've done the same, what version are you on V4 or v5?
v4 had an issue where sometimes the hard buttons would stop working. you would need to do a delvik cache wipe to fix it. So it may have just been that. No one figured what was setting it off as far as im aware.

question for all yall using V4a , does it show as "speaker"?
If so, anyway we can get subwoofer controls available under other modes like bluetooth or headset?

Once you'll do that, you will unleash the true power of Viper4Android. You will not be dissapointed

I have all the low/mid settings on HU Amp put to 0. I only have IRS and Clarity set on XiFi on 3.5 (nothing else enabled) and those two brings everything I need. If you use Poweramp, you need to disable EQU and Tone too, so you have a clear Viper4Android effect. It doesn't blow the speakers like you think

Hi, i have it installed with the dolby atmos addon. I never used any profiles, i just adjusted the settings myself. I gotta say its the best out there!
I use this mainly for my car audio through bluetooth and USB (Android Auto). Turns my 6 speaker car into a true 360 surround sound system. Its so realistic and worth a try.
Search through XDA which contains guides to install.
***NOTE: Only problem i have at the moment is android auto (when plugged via usb into the cars usb port) seems to disable a.r.i.s.e completely. After checking the driver status, it shows as enabled but processing is disabled, so its not producing the setup i have. Im trying to search the web for a solution.***
