[MOD][Root] How to Improve Loudspeaker Output Using V4A + Dolby Atmos - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods

Basically, what Im gonna do here is share my profiles on both apps. These profiles are the result of my experiment tuning the two apps and this is the configuration that I think provides the most significant improvement to the speaker output.
If you already have Viper and Dolby Atmos installed, you can go straight to importing my profile in Viper. You can download it here.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sAQsGZEhEhYNZEylQszjCGWHrrn767yn/view?usp=drivesdk
To do the import, all you have to do is simply copy all the contents inside the folder Viper4Android (in the zip) to the folder Viper4Android in your internal storage.
After that, you need to configure your EQ in Dolby Atmos similarly to my config. (There's no option to do profile import and export in Dolby, so you'll have to do it manually)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ad6eSeaXA3m6xbs2PED3C2rMxtf2l2Pz/view?usp=drivesdk
Now every time you wanna use the loudspeaker, you'll have to change the profile in Viper to akg v1.2.2 (to change the profile, click on the three dashes > Load Effect Profile > Pick your desired profile). After you're done and you wanna switch to your earphone, you can change it back to your personal profile. As for the dolby, just leave it like how it previously was.
If you dont have the apps installed, you can download them in magisk repository. These are the versions im currently using:
Dolby Atmos DAX 2.5.0.15_r1 by guitardedhero
Viper4Android FX Materialized v1.7(2.5.0.5) by Viper250, zhuhang, team_dewitt, ahrion, zackptg5
Just in case one or both of the apps not working for some reason, just install the module Audio Modification Library. It solved the problem for me.

What's the Dolby module name on magisk?

How did you install Dolby Atmos on the Mi A2? My phone always ends up in a bootloop when I try to get it.

Have you tried to install the specific build i used? I used that one because the other builds didnt work, but none of them caused my phone to bootloop.
Maybe it has something to do with the ROM or magisk version. Currently im on 9.6.10.0 ODIMIFE and magisk v16.0

Explain step by step how you installed Dolby with your build please.

Viper4Android FX on stock based ROMs

Hi there!
I'm using Existenz ROM, a stock-based rom, and yesterday I tried to install Viper4Android FX with no success. I had already installed it on CyanogenMod and it worked perfectly. After having installed Viper FX on my phone, I opened it and it installed the drivers. Then it told me that LPA (Low Power Audio) was enabled in build.prop and that it could cause problems, so I allowed Viper to remove this feature from build.prop.
Then I rebooted and I started playing with settings. I opened Walkman but sound was the same as before. I enabled "Force Viper FX" but it didn't work either.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

Stock Sony sound enhancements conflict with Viper Audio. The way I got V4A working on a stock Sony rom is by rooting, installing App Master, and using this app to uninstall all the sound enhancements that Sony puts into the ROM (I believe there are 3 packages to remove). App Master has the option to put apps in a recycle bin, so if you uninstall an app that actually breaks your sound system all together, it is fairly easy to undo the changes. After you uninstalled the stock sound fx, install V4A and it should work.
BTW - not sure if V4A will work with the Walkman app at all. You might want to try Poweramp.
Goto Settings/Sound/music setings or sound settings and select viper4android.Then use v4a.It will work

Viper4Android + Magisk on Nougat

Hi,
Have been using Viper4Android on MM a lot. Now that I have upgraded to Nougat (Open Beta 2), all I get is a valid installation but for some reason it does not process my audio. Please see screenshot.

Uninstall the viper apk..And flash viper4arise zip on twrp..
Thanks, but I am looking for a systemless install.
This has been working and others report it's working (on other devices though).
I wonder if anyone has tried it on a 3T with Nougat.
So is it possible to get it working systemless? Thanks!
You can use viper4rarise with magisk. Safetynet not triggered. But the problem is selinux status. Its always enforcing for some reason. But yi can change it from terminals using setenforce 0 command. Then it works. You need to do it every time after reboot. I tried to make selinux permissive. Bug it triggers safetynet. So im swt with running everytime post reboot

Systemless user here. If you're interested, I've created a Magisk module of ViPER4Android 2.3.4.0, which in my opinion is the best version as it had drivers of different quality you could choose. My Magisk module runs on Super High Quality.
And yes, I'm running it on Nougat/OOS 4.0.2. If you want it on Open Beta, send me the following files:
/system/etc/audio_effects.conf
/system/etc/audio_policy.conf

Not a problem. Let me know how it goes.
I installed your module. How do I know if it's working properly? I tried changing settings while using google play music but didn't hear any changes. Driver status is enabled but processing shows "no".
Edit: tried listening a podcast and viperfx seems to be working. I can hear changes in sound. How can I get google play music also working?

I forgot about that. At the moment I cannot get streaming via Play Music working with ViPER's FX Compatible Mode set as normal. Only locally stored music played in Play Music will make ViPER work with it.
However, setting ViPER's FX Compatible Mode to Compatible will make it work with both local and streaming music in Google Play Music, along with other audio apps.
Hopefully that makes sense.

Viper works here for everything but Google play music. The files you're modifying don't include the XML files, from experience in Nougat just modifying the conf files didn't make any difference, but I may be wrong (Certainly sounds so). What changes did you make may I ask? Removing deep buffer and raw only makes any difference for me if I modify the XML files in Nougat.

Almost all custom roms have mediocre/bad sound of Speaker and Earphones. There are solution for this issue and you may test it by yourself. It's works well for me and i tested this Fix on several custom rom's, all works fine. Test it on your own risk (make backup).
1) Install Sirene Audio as App, your phone have to be rooted (Magisc), when the app is installed - go to "control" and then press "install". this will fix the earphones sound.
2) Download and install Dolby from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mm-p-dolby-digital-plus-arise-20181115-t3868192

I've been using that version of viper since I got the phone and haven't run into any issues. I do however also have the audio modification library and audio compatibility patch modules installed as well. If those don't help, then I think there is a larger issue.
PS - I've used both the latest stable and the canary Magisk builds without issues.

Ok, so... same as me.
Really, i don't know where to start. I've flashed stock rom wiping everything some days ago. So, my phone is clean. I've the latest Magisk stable and elementalx 1.05.
All i can do is try to dirty flash stock rom again and install twrp, magisk and elementalx and try another time.
About audio compatibily patch, there are really too many options and i don't know where to start to install it correctly..... but i don't think google camera crashes because of that......
Same problem if i install Viper4Android FX Legacy module.

I would be surprised if the audio compatibility patch caused an issue too. Honestly I had forgotten about the initial options that I had to choose when I installed it. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it and only chose the "notification remover" option and then opted out of the lib use (last option). I use the headphone jack, so I don't need a USB DAC (does this phone even have one?), nor do I use Spotify, etc.
However, it is important to install the audio modification library last. It should find both the Audio Compatibility Patch as well as Viper4Android and patch both to work together. I might suggest that you uninstall it, reboot, and reinstall it to ensure it is actually patching both audio modification. Also, make sure the driver is actually installed in Viper if you end up reinstalling any of these mods as you might find that the driver isn't actually installed. It's a long shot, but perhaps that would fix your issue.
I'm also using the leaked camera version 6.3.017.253834016 currently (because it has the night sight setting as a main option instead of buried in the "more" settings). But this really shouldn't matter and the stock camera app worked just fine too. Viper4Android is always one of the first mods I install on a phone and it has never given me a problem on my 3a XL or caused the camera to stop working.

Tried exactly what you said. Same issue, Google Camera crashes on start. Every V4A version i tried, same thing.... Well, i don't know what to try more..... Asked on official V4A thread but no answer. Is there any way to provide logs to discover what happen?
EDIT: I've attached a logcat, if you know what could be the problem i will be happy
Dirty flashed August factory image, Elementalx, TWRP and Magisk. Same issue. Anyone who can help me taking a look at the logs?
Im on 2.5.0.5 and i have no issues so far with the camera app.
The only issue that i have is that v4a is marked as harmful by Google protect. Anyone else?

I've never had any real issues getting Viper4Android to work on Android 10, but I understand it is a common issue. Here is a Pixel 4 thread on installing Viper4Android on Android 10 and how they got it to work. The fact that it is on a Pixel 4 device is irrelevant. Perhaps this can help you get the driver installed.
PS - I should mention that I already was using the audio compatibility module and the audio modification module prior to moving to Android 10, so it is quite possible that is why I never experienced any issues.
