[Tips] Z2/Z3 - Bring back xLOUD on Rooted Stock 4.4.4 (+ Clear Phase & Clear Stereo) - Xperia Z2 General

[Tips] Z2/Z3 - Bring back xLOUD on Rooted Stock 4.4.4 (+ Clear Phase & Clear Stereo)
Dear Z2 users, if you had updated your phone to latest official 4.4.4 stock ROM, you should already realised that some sound settings are gone in Sound Effects. (xLOUD, Clear Phase, Clear Stereo)
I found the solution to bring back those settings, so I'm sharing here.
This method may work on other 4.4.4 Xperia devices too, try it out.
It's using an xposed module by @AndroPlus called XPhonePlus. Thank him!
Note: S-Force Front Surround does not work properly with xLOUD.
Requirements:
- Xperia Z2/Z3 - other xperia devices not sure
- 4.4.4 stock rom (23.0.1.A.0.167) - other 4.4.4 stock roms should work too
- Root - here
- XPosed installed - here
- XPhonePlus xposed module by @AndroPlus - Original Thread
Instructions:
1. With root and xposed setup properly, you are good to go.
2. Download and install XPhonePlus module.
3. Go to Xposed > Modules > and tick XPhonePlus.
4. Reboot.
5. Open XPhonePlus, scroll down to the end.
6. Tick 'Enable old sound settings'.
7. Reboot.
8. Check Walkman > Settings > Sound Effects > Sound Effects
9. DONE!

Thanks for the info, unfortunately the sound settings all seem to reset when the phone is rebooted. Equaliser is turned off, headphone type is set back to general & x-loud gets turned back off.

Yes. But that's a very small issue since we don't reboot so often.
Wonder can the dev fix it.

4. Real_Pac's Back up File for MyAndroid Tools (pro)-Fix to solve Wakelock issues caused by Google Play Services
+ also disabling unnecessary Services to save more battery!!!
We all heard about wakelocks and generally about services which drains the battery of our phones immediately.
To disable them without knowledge could damage your running system.
I made a Back Up for "MyAndroid Tools (pro)" to find on Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=de to make that procedure very easy for you.
You will be able to disable more than 150!!! services with just one tap.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
2. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage.
3. Now open the app "MyAndroidTools" and tap on "about".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).
Standard Zip:
After restoring this file you won't be able to use Google fitness gadgets, streamcasts, Google Kids and also Google Wear.
Light Zip:
This Zip file wont disable any of the above mentioned services.
Alternative method if "MyAndroidtools Pro" doesn't work.-@daltonhrrll Big thanks for his alternative method!
1. Download the app "Disable Service" from Playstore- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
2. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
3. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage
4. Rename the file"myandroidtoolspro_backup.txt" to "DS_backup.txt".
3. Now open the app "Disable Service" and tap on "settings".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).

5a. Amplify Settings-Restorable Titanium Backup File
Warning!
[LP5.1.x User be careful!Amplify will only work if your current Rom supports unofficial Xposed]
One chapter before I was talking about disabling services to save battery. The. most battery drain was caused by "Google Services".
But some of them are really important for your running system. So, now we gonna change their delay time to fix the wakelock problems and to save battery.
I'm using "Titanium Backup" over years. To find on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=de
You also need xposed framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 [email protected] and
Amplify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce&hl=de
Just few steps and you're done.
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Amplify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Amplify.
4. Confirm
That's all.

5c. Real_Pac's Greenify-Restorable Titanium Backup File
We all know "Greenify" is a great tool to hiberante active user apps and system apps. But which system-apps are safe to hibernate?
I made a restorable "Titanium Backup"- file which one includes almost every stock system-app.
Please hibernate all your user-apps manually.
Important:
- Android 5.1.x user's should activate the greenify module in xposed settings only then if the unofficial xposed build for 5.1.x works on your current Rom . Otherwise your phone will stuck
on bootscreen
- Do not hibernate apps with push-services if you wanna still receive "push-messages".
- Android 5.0 user should switch to "Boost-mode".
- Android 5.1.x user should switch to "Root-mode" if "Boost-mode" isn't supported.
Both can apply this file without any problems.
I'm also gonna make a restorable file for "boost-mode". Be patient
Hints:
I recommend to buy the "paid-version". The expermential features will allow you to hibernate more apps, specially system apps.
If you tap on the "3-dot symbol" you will be able to find the entry "create hibernation shortcut". It makes an shortcut on your homescreen which will allow you to hibernate all selected apps before with just one click.
Instruction:
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Greenify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Greenify.
4. Confirm
That's all

As the title says, tested by me:
[FIX] Low Mic Call V1_Final [ALL ROMS] credits: @tazzkiller

Please control your general sound values before applying any sound mod or setting. Otherwise you could damage your speakers.

[Flashable[ROOT]Omniswitch instead recent panel for LP5.1.x
credits: @kikuto for "Toggle Omniswitch"
I hate the stock recent panel. The best alternative for me was Omniswitch. But some Custom Roms doesnt't have this inside.
Found some "solutions" before but with no possibility to use it instead of stock recent panels.
A Xda-User called @kikuto https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch made a toggle apk.
It will allow you to open omniswitch but the stock recent panel in navbar will still exist.
I made a flashable Zip which already included the newest "Omniswitch" and "Toggle Omniswitch".
Just flash it and follow this....
Now, there are 2 ways to change it:
If your current roms supports custom navbar settings, follow instruction 1. If not, follow instruction 2.
1:
A. Go to Navbar settings
B. Open "buttons" settings
C. Delete the recent panel menu button
D. Add a new button and choose "Toggle Omni Switch"
2:
A. Install "Gravity Box for LP". http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
B. Open it and tap on "Navigation Bar tweaks".
C. Now tap on "Custom key settings".
D. Enable it and also tap on " Swap with menu key".
E Tap on "Single-tap action" and choose "Toggle Omniswitch"
Now open "Omniswitch and activate it"
Reboot-Done!

[APP]Intelli3G -Restorable Titanium Backup File
Setup to auto toggle between network modes helping maximize your standby
credits: @daltonhrrll -Thank you for the idea and the creation of the Manual!
What is it?
It's an xposed module that toggles between 2 user defined network modes based on current conditions. For example when your screen goes off or you connect to wifi it will switch to power saving mode, Which is 2G if you're using my profile. When your screen comes on or you disconnect from Wi-Fi it will switch you to fast network mode which will be 3G by default but you can switch it to 4G if you prefer.
Intelli3G: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voidvapps.intelli3g
Instruction:
1. Make sure you have xposed installed.
2. Follow the link above to download Intelli3G.
3. Once it's been installed head over into your xposed app and activate the module.
4. Reboot
5. Download my titanium backup restorable file of Intelli3G and place it into the titanium backup folder on the root of your sd card.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_HWCBYTD4HGWjV6QUZFVEpLdnM/edit?usp=docslist_api
6. Open up titanium backup find Intelli3G and restore "DATA ONLY".
7. Reboot, it may not actually be needed but do it anyways.
8. Enjoy your new battery life.
***NOTE***
By default the slow network is 2G and the fast network is 3G. If you wish to change it to 4G, open intelli3G select fast network and select LTE GSM/WCDMA. This will connect to LTE when available but use any bands it can to keep signal. My configuration you'll be restoring will not disrupt downloads or streaming as it's setup so if there is more than 15 kbps of traffic it won't switch modes until the traffic is below the threshold. There is also a 1 minute delay after screen off before it will switch to power saving mode that way if you turn your screen off then back on quickly it won't cause loss of signal which is a known issue the Dev is working on. If you do for some reason experience a loss of signal simply lock and unlock your device or toggle airplane mode on and off to fix.

Installed in /system/priv-app

Sony™ and Beats™ libraries and effects (No apk's or settings to look for!)
Library & Effect entries in /system/ect/audio_effects.conf, /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf, /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf, and /system/etc/htc_audio_effects.conf

Official ViPER Packages​
ViPER|Audio™ is for those only wanting ViPER processing. There is also a Stock version that has no additional files or effects for those seeking a pure "vanilla" ViPER4Android installation.
ViPER|Atmos™ includes @worstenbrood's Dolby Atmos™ found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446, fully functional in Enforcing. There is also a Stock version without the additional effects for a pure "vanilla" ViPER|Atmos™ experience.
ViPER|DD+™ includes Dolby Digital Plus™ courtesy of @aki_007 which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/audio-mod-dolby-digital-plus-universal-t3078802 and is the perfect solution for those experiencing issues with the Dolby Atmos™ app. Both are fantastic and extremely similar in sound and identical in setup. This is certainly not a downgraded ViPER|Atmos™ but just another available option for the user. Dolby Digital Plus™ requires a Permissive Selinux environment so packages including DD+™ also include a Permissive script during the installation to avoid any issues after the installation. There is also a stock version with no additional effects.
These three versions provide the ultimate compatibility across all devices in your quest for the ultimate experience in seamless sound enhancement.
!! Versions not described above are just for fun !!
!! Make sure /system has 50mb+ of available free space !!
!! If it is necessary for you to run Cyanogenmod 13 with its own SuperUser you must change Selinux from Enforcing Strict to Permissive as SuperSU is required for processing in Enforcing !!​
Installation:
Boot to recovery
Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache
Install > ViPER|Audio™ OR ViPER|Atmos™ OR ViPER|DD+™
Reboot
!! Be sure to enable Storage Permissions for ViPER4Android through its App Info page !!​
Open v4a
Menu > Show Notification (block if desired by long pressing notification)
Menu > UI Setting > Expert
Menu > Save Effect Profile > New Effect Profile > "Stock" (this will help you find your working v4a directory)
Begin playing audio file
Open v4a
Uncheck Enable v4a
Check Enable v4a
If you experience problems with the normal installation instructions, the awesome @dr.ketan has allowed me to link his Viper Fix 1.1.apk which will essentially disable all other effects from your system by eliminating their libraries from your audio_effects.conf using v4a instead. Flash this apk as a normal user app, open, reboot when prompted, boot to recovery and flash your desired ViPER package. You can find info and support as well as the apk at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61858278&postcount=3079
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63425983&postcount=658
It is possible your /system is dirty enough to require at least a System wipe in TWRP and a dirty flash of your current rom before flashing ViPER|Audio™ if you experience any Force Closes or any other signs of an incomplete/failed installation.
!! Do NOT delete /system/priv-app/MusicFX !!
In initial testing I found that I had to move MusicFX back to get ViPER working and I haven't removed it since. I do disable it and recommend doing the same if it's not working "out of the box".
!! Audiophile™ Profile zip is NOT flashable !!
Extract both folders in zip into the following two directories:
Code:
/data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android
and
Code:
/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android
Uninstallation and Removal:
The best and easiest way to remove this and any other /system mod from your device is to dirty flash your rom after wiping System in TWRP. Before you begin, make sure you have a compatible rom zip on your internal storage as an OS will need to be installed. As long as you do not Factory Reset or check Data or Internal Storage, your data will be left intact but with a fresh /system partition.
Verify compatible rom zip is on device

I was surprised how they fit in so seamlessly, adding a very welcomed and natural bass boost while retaining the Audiophile™ clarity. My favorite combination, by far.

Some of your IRS files not active when loaded?
A discovery I made a long time ago that is still largely unknown:
For this to work ViPER4Android™ MUST be uninstalled from /data if applicable.​
If ViPER4Android™ still shows in App Drawer after dirty flashing your rom (while you're checking for free /system space and BusyBox ) then uninstall from App Drawer or delete /data/app/com.vipercn.viper4android_v2-1.
After flashing ViPER|Atmos™ or ViPER|Audio™, setting everything up, and confirming everything is functioning, extract the ViPER zip.
Tap on the apk in the extracted location to "install an update to this built-in application."
Tap Open and dismiss the only instance of "ViPER4Android has stopped" that you will see.
ViPER is now installed in /system and /data allowing you to enjoy every IRS in your collection.
In a situation where you could really use all the settings available to other outputs while processing through Speaker tab in ViPER4Android™?​Swipe over to output tab with the settings you seek to use.
Menu > Lock Effect Mode
Now, this locked output tab will be the only settings used while processing audio. Remember to unlock effect mode if this is only for certain scenarios when done.
Audio Focus causing processing issues?​I haven't had an opportunity to devote enough time testing audio_policy.conf edits but here's a couple that seem to help with no processing after audio interruptions:
Open /system/etc/audio_policy.conf in text editor
Add 44100 to voice_rx
Add 48000 to a2dp
Save changes
Reboot
Do this only if you experience no processing after a notification or voice call when ViPER4Android™ was processing immediately before the audio focus.

The audio_policy.conf edits worked. One thing to note (I found out through trial and error) is that the freqs need to be listed in numerical order on those line items (not just added to the end). For example:
Code:
sampling rates 8000|16000|44100|48000
is not seen the same as
Code:
sampling rates 8000|16000|48000|44100

Experiencing audio disturbances while using a custom kernel? Our friend @Woody explains: ​
Woody said:
Back in the day, when Viper4Android started, it only worked on JellyBean 4.1 ROMs. This was when it was new and the iterations were just as fast as they are in this thread. Everything was finally figured out once Viper got to version 2.3.3.0 and then finally 2.3.4.0. Just about the same time that the final version of Viper was completed, KitKat came around with it's new experimental run time called ART. At that time, you could choose between either ART or the traditional Dalvik runtimes. But that choice came with a word of caution-"ART might not work with certain apks." At the same time, the Linux kernel was updated.
So now you have a SoundMOD that was reasonably perfected (and unfortunately abandoned as there has been no update since), a new Android OS and an updated Linux kernel that all needed to work together. Not saying that v4a was instrumental in a change of general ideology, but with so many people using it, many preferred sounds quality over battery quality. Let's not get all high and mighty on the Viper Is King train, as it was not the first to do what it does. If you've been around Android since Froyo/GB times, but more specifically the Galaxy S1/2 series, you should remember Supercurio's VoodDoo Sound Control. For the time, it blew anything away that was available and had a GUI apk that you could tweak. That was then, this is now; but really still talking in the KK days.
Since the sound mod was the greatest thing to headphones since aluminum, people wanted it to work on their custom ROMs/Kernels. In comes faux123 and his tweaks to his kernels that allowed for ramdisk injections of audio patches (generally AnyPatch kernels are what you will mostly find as it uses the "stock" ramdisk as a foundation). So if you ran a kernel during the middle 2013 to 2014, most had the Faux sound patch, as it allowed for peak sound for the device through the use of a custom kernel (this is why most kernels now days have a sound section in their .conf files or GUI). It lasted forever and is still being incorporated in custom kernels to this day (check your Kernel Thread OPs/GITs ). Since kernel devs are few and far between, they tend to either work closely together, cherry pick commits or try depart themselves from each other.
Android moves to Lollipop and ART is no longer optional, like in the previous KitKat. LP also introduced 2 kernel toolchain updates over it's lifetime. This caused kernel devs to tweak their setups and Governors. There were still the usual suspects like Interactive, On-Demand, Performance and Conservative, as well as all their derivatives. At this point sound mods were still working mainly because of the Faux sound and/or Franco patches were being included in most kernels and being built from AnyPatch kept that possible. Viper4Android worked as advertised, even after the /system folder structure had also changed).
Now comes MarshMallow. Again with another folder structure change and the adaptation of custom recoveries to be able to properly wipe them. Ever wonder why you can't find your Profile and Kernel folders when you dirty flash? I figured it out shortly after MM came out. The thing was, with the new OS, something in the kernel changed and now my trusted Interactive governor was creating popping and cracking sounds. I actually posted (should read the few posts after mine as well. They talk about Faux's sound too and my realization that On-Demand removes the popping and cracking) in this thread about it when it was under previous management by kah-el. Here are my final findings regarding using On-Demand over Interactive.
So what does this all mean? It means that if you have popping and cracking, you should switch your kernel governor to On-Demand or one of it's derivatives. Some other culprits can be if you are running a Permissive or Enforcing kernel and/or ROM. If you don't know if you are or not, open a terminal and type (without the quotes) "su" [ENTER] "setenforce" [ENTER] and see which number it puts out. 0=Permissive; 1=Enforcing. You can change this without the SELinuxpolicy changer apk by using the commands above. Some kernels, such as ElemetalX, have a radio button that you can tick at installation to have it as Enforcing or Permissive. Even though the latest zips from OP are getting more directed to being able to be used with Enforcing, it would be good for you to know what yours is. I run Permissive and will for the foreseeable future (Google it to find out why). You also need to check your gain strength and if it is set too high. Louder doesn't mean cleaner.
On-Demand isn't for everyone, but we have to find out why the Interactive governor ramps up the frequencies too fast and the audio portion of the kernel effects the output of Viper. This is something that a new kernel dev upstart could really make his mark in the Android custom kernel/sound mod world. *Hint*Hint* Until then, I don't mind On-Demand and SIO (I used to use Deadline but started to get RRs, though those were probably self-inflicted).

4.3 is now using the Super Quality Driver to correct an oversight from I don't even know when. The Power Saving Driver file size is the exact same as the Super Quality Driver so somewhere along the way, it got mixed up and placed in the ViPER packages. The MD5 for the Super Quality Driver ends in "27a5" if you want to check libv4a_fx_ics.so on your device in /system/lib/soundfx.
Edit********
4.3.1 modifies the install script to accommodate every scenario of switching from different ViPER packages. No wipes necessary and no need to update unless you are wanting to try a different package. 4.3.1 also introduces the ViPER|DD+™ Stock version with no additional Beats™ and Huawei™ files.
Edit*********
4.4 introduces the phasing out of Huawei™ as part of the official packages as I was never fully convinced of any contribution, but highly suspect its inclusion caused many issues. All 4.4 packages include complete removal of Huawei™ files in the install script so no wipes are ever necessary. I don't plan on adding any Beats™ removal lines into the script as I fear that might delete stock files on HTC devices and that will certainly cause issues and be a very irresponsible act on my part. Essentially, this means a desire to try a Stock package will require a System wipe followed by a dirty flash of your rom before flashing a Stock package, otherwise, you'll still end up with the Beats™ files.
Edit∆
4.5.1 introduces the Xperia™ Z5 libraries and effects from @jancsessz's Xperia™ Z5 port as well as a change in the supolicy script pointing to /su/bin/supolicy for the latest SuperSU systemless root for full ViPER4Android functionality with Enforcing Selinux. 4.5.1 also begins the phasing out of the Beats™ only editions to keep a manageable number of packages.
Edit∆*
4.5.2 makes minor changes to the Supolicy script to make it compatible for all SuperSU users in an Enforcing Selinux environment (Thanks @Shadowghoster!). 4.5.2 also cleans the install script in all packages by removing the former Huawei™ removal lines which should no longer be necessary at this point. Users with a fully functional 4.5.1 installation should not feel compelled to update to 4.5.2, this is for everyone else or if you're flashing ViPER again because your rom update wiped your system in the installation process. Finally, Beats™ only editions will continue for those that have incompatibility issues with the other packages.
Edit∆**
5.0 includes the latest ViPER4Android 2.4.0.1 and its driver as well as a minor tweak to the Supolicy script.
Edit∆***
5.1 brings Material Dark back to ViPER|Audio™ courtesy OS @Viper4713's themed 2.4.0.1 apk. 5.1 also no longer removes ViPER4Android's /data/app installation or /data/data (app data) thanks to @-decipher-'s thorough testing and reports.
Edit∆****
5.2 returns the official ViPER4Android apk into all ViPER packages. This makes for a better flashing experience and the Material apk's can always be easily copied over the existing official apk if desired. 5.2 also includes /system/etc/sony_effect to all Sony™ Beats™ editions. Lastly, all 5.2 packages include a Version Info text file in /system and include more removal lines in the installation script for third party v4a installs including those included in some roms.
Edit∆*****
5.2.1 removes the /system/etc/sony_effect folder introduced in 5.2. A system wipe will be required to remove this folder as deleting through my installer might delete stock files on some Sony™ devices. Alternatively, this file can be manually deleted to avoid a system wipe if desired. 5.2.1 also removes the data removal of ViPER4Android during installation.
Edit∆******
5.3 adds the following lines to /system/build.prop:
audio.deep_buffer.media=false
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
tunnel.audiovideo.decode=false
lpa.releaselock=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
persist.sys.media.use-awesome=1
Edit∆*******
4.6 continues work using the previous ViPER4Android 2.3.4.0 after reports of the new ViPER4Android apk being a downgrade in sound quality. This is not an unreasonable assumption given that the new apk only provides one compatible driver with no reference to its purpose being more sound quality driven or more power saving driven. I am testing this now and would have to say this is definitely the recommended version rather than 5.3 which uses the new apk. 4.6 also includes the /system/build.prop lines from 5.3 which have proven to be very beneficial to Audio Focus and curing all problems experienced with the supolicy scipt on Enforcing Selinux. Honestly, everything seems absolutely perfect and I can't see anything improving this build other than sound enhancements that are later found. :good:

Hi man, great mod. Xan you please assist me with something? I have installed your mod together with extrememusic mod. Everything works great, but only with poweramp. Samsung player and soundcloud doesn't use neither of the mods. I can't even see the graphical equalizer reacting to music in dolby atmos. I have tried previously editing the audio profile in a2dp but that didn't help with cloudsound. By the way, i instamled the Huawei version. Thanks in advance

Thank you!
I recommend wiping System in TWRP, followed by dirty flashing your rom, and then trying just my mod. It's almost impossible for me to properly assist you with so many additional files provided by the XTREMEMusic mod. I'd like to take a look at your audio_effects.conf file though if it's not too much trouble.

Thanks, you are my last hope. Actually I think the issue is with the audio_policy.conf I have tried policy from others, which had no issues with the mods. One of the files solved the issue with the music, however I ended up having issues with the sound during calls. Please find a zip of my policy.
To sum up my issues are:
1. Everything works in PowerAmp
2. Samsung music player does to react to any changes in the mod neither the dolby equaliser reacts to the music played as with power amp
3. Soundcloud does not work with the mod. It starts working only when a notification sounds and only until the next track.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!

I have copied your new policy and edited the permission rights properly. Same results though. Samsung player does not react at all to mod and the soundcloud only after notification sound (it can be clearly heart as well as seen in the dolby equaliser).
Please look at this policy (provided by other user), which solves the music issues but creates instability in the system (no sound during calls, bad reception of one of the sim cards etc.). It should make more sense to you what is the difference.

Do you still have XTREMEMusic installed? Keep in mind this mod overwrites your original audio_effects.conf files completely. There may be some libraries and effects on your stock file that are no longer there that are needed. That is why you'll never see an audio_effects.conf file anywhere in my zips as they are patched, leaving previous stuff unbroken. If that's the case, that's what I was talking about when I said, "running in circles."
I strongly recommend this:
Delete /system/addon.d/23-v4adap.sh if found.
Disable SoundAlive
Boot to recovery
Wipe > Advanced > System, Dalvik Cache, Cache
Mount > uncheck System
Install > your current rom zip
Install > ViPER 3.8 package of your choice
Reboot
Great taste in music highly approve will try mod now.

Hmm, I have done that in the past as well, I think actually after your suggestion (deep_buffer). Previous edit I've seen you added some additional frequencies, something that I have played with also but obviously not the right way. Whatever the case, you made my marathon of several days to end in the best way.

Man my bad, yesterday after last update i just tested the music and it works. However it happened that i had no phone calls. Now that i made one, i have issues with the sound during phone call. More precisely, no ringtone, no voice, nothing. Everything else works. Any idea how to resolve that? Is it that line that makes the difference?

Sorry man, I simply have no way of testing this for you so it's a shot in the dark and the very reason my first reply was to wipe System, dirty flash your rom, and flash ViPER|Atmos™ only, as your current setup combining XTREMEMusic™ creates many opportunities for the many additional files to conflict with others or simply incompatible. Combine that with the fact that your device no longer has its original audio_effects.conf files, the result of flashing a mod that uses its own to overwrite your device's audio_effects.conf files and you end up with a troubleshooting nightmare. I knew from the very start that adequate assistance and support for you would be impossible and any success would be pure luck, which creates a scenario from which nothing is learned if that makes sense.
I strongly recommend trying my mod on its own if you're still interested. I'd be shocked if you still desired more after having a fully functional ViPER|Atmos™ system.

My pleasure, I'm here to help you in every way I can so let me know if any assistance is needed once you're done.
I've added a flashable Super Quality Driver zip to the OP attachments section for those that have installed ViPER4Android from anywhere but here.
!! ViPER|Audio™ Super Quality Driver zip is not needed when using any ViPER package !!
I've included this zip only for those using a ViPER4Android installation from any place but here and experience a persistent install driver prompt. Most likely to benefit would be those with a vendor partition that other ViPER4Android installations aren't able to patch /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf.
Again, those using any ViPER package do not need this. If you experience a persistent install driver prompt after flashing any ViPER package, this will not help you as your issue is likely insufficient free space in /system or something outside the scope of what this zip contains.​

Thanks for sharing.
It's such a strange thing what you have to do on Chinese roms to get the basic of today's mobile environment: working push notifications for services you install!

I guess you bought this phone on Oppomart ?
I recommend to reflash your rom (http://zukfans.eu/).. Otherwise you can't get the lastest version which is 1.9.077

We don't even get a damn battery graph. For those of us who micro-manage our phones, ZUI is a disaster.

To be fair, there is such a graph, but you have to activate the Developer Settings.
Then: Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Developer Options -> History details.
How do I get Play Music controls to show up on the lock screen?

So does this mean if I flash zukfans eu ROM "ZUK Z2 Stable ROM 1.9.044", I will have not crashing menus nor the "play store cannot download any apps" issue?
This would be great, at least.. until a real ROM is out..

The only issue is new gestures don't work for me at all... 3T.

Also another minor issue, preinstalled GCam forecloses. Had to uninstall and reinstall it, works after that.

Hi! I'm hoping someone could help me out with a few questions.
I have a OnePlus 3 (A3003) running FreedomOS-CE-2.17 on Android 7.1.1 and I would like to install this ROM but I'm not sure how to proceed. I see people talking about firmwares and whatnot and I'm not exactly sure what I'd be doing. Could someone hold my hand and walk me through it?
Also, does Magisk cloak work? I really need Android Pay and Snapchat to work. I'd rather not have root and have those apps work than have root and be without them.

No one can hold your hand man, in android/TWRP world you go and try things, as corny as it sounds. Thinking of a perfect scenario, and hoping nothing ever get's lost and everything always works means not trying anything new ever. Was this a lession on flashing roms, or life in general... not sure I've lost track lol.
Yeaaahhhh.....glad to see you back!!! THIS IS THE BEST MIUI9 EVER-EVER-EVER!!!! My OP3t is running and itś you that make this Phone running!!!

I did that and it caused a few issues so I wouldn't recommend it. I had issues with a white horrible shadow on all the icons and also it lagged a bit in games.

I have a few issues with this build.
I take it there is no Dash Charge?
It lags a little but not really noticeable to cause an annoyance.
Google Pay wont pass the Safety Net check with Magisk 16.0.
Rounded corners no longer work where as they did before on the old build.
Scanner app does not work with loading the camera.
Yes I did a clean flash.
This is a great ROM but just needs a few things fixing.

Fair enough. Still don't know if I have to reflash firmware or what steps to take. Somewhere to point me in the right direction and I'll be fine. Just trying to do my due dillegence before making a stupid mistake for no good reason.
Other than SafetyNet being broken, ROM is pretty solid. The ROM is a little less fluid than Oreo ROMS but I am going to give this a shot for a while. Great work and looking forward to the next update.

[Q] NFC doesn't work on Oreo 8.1

The NFC function lost after upgrating to Stock Oreo 8.1.0, while it works well on 7.1 all the time.
I confirm that I turned on the NFC botton in the settings menue, but the NFC didn't work.
I have unlocked the critical partitions before flashing, also tried OTA, but the NFC doesn't work at ANY TIME.
Anyone can help me? Thanks so much...
It works fine on 8.1 for me but I never unlocked anything. Normally the best thing to do would be to factory reset your phone and choose the start fresh option in the setup menu instead of restoring from a Google backup. Problems after a big update like Nougat to Oreo aren't uncommon and are nearly always fixable by doing a factory reset correctly (fresh start). But since you modded your phone something else might be going on.

Works fine for me.
I am rooted 8.1, Magisk, ElementalX.
I don't have any issues with it and I'm stock 8.1 unrooted.
I have tried third party Oreo 8.1, the NFC works fine.
Only failed on Stock Oreo 8.1.
I tried another time to do a new flashing with Back_to_Stock package 8.1, when flashing system_a.img and system_b.img, it showed a message " Invalid sparse file format at header magic", and after that, it began to flash the system image normally. But as usual, the NFC didn't work.

Anything related to the mistake? Thanks.

i've got the same issue. nfc doesn't recognize any card or device whilst it is activated in settings and nfc test app says anything is fine.
i'm using android pie but it was the same on oreo. my bootloader is fully unlocked. i always update via back-to-stock and fastboot.

I am running stock 8.1 and NFC didn't seem to work for me either until I touched a tag to the lower portion of the back and it fired. I was used to the sensor in previous phones being in the middle or toward the top. It would not work until it was in the lower 20% of the back side.
Don't know if it will be the same for you, but here's hoping.
yes, it was the same for me. i realized it just a few minutes after my post but didn't find it then. so i couldn't delete it.
I've been fighting to get mine to work, so far nothing. I contacted Essential tech support and they had me clear the cache and showed where the NFC sensor is (bottom part of the phone on the back). I tried using Android Beam to send/receive URL's with my old phone (confirmed that it can send/receive through Android Beam). Nothing is working. Debating whether or not to return the phone and get something else. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's what tech support sent me:
As a verification step, confirm that you're using the correct area of the phone for NFC. Unlike most smartphones, the Essential Phone's NFC chip is located on the bottom of the device.
If you are aware of the NFC position, to isolate the issue further and determine the best way to resolve this, I'd like you to try a few steps.
Ensure that NFC is enabled in settings. (Settings > Connected Devices > Connected Preferences > NFC)
Ensure that Google Pay is the default Tap & pay sevice (Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Default apps > Tap & pay > Payment default > select the desired payment app)
Clear the cache in the NFC Service and reboot the device. (Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all apps > Three dots in the top right > Show System > NFC Service > Storage > Clear Cache)
Attempt to use the NFC service with another app or service like Android Beam (Settings > Connected Devices > Android Beam)
Chiming into this thread - NFC doesn't even show up for me in Connected Devices, on Android 9.
Look under connection preferences in connected devices

I don't have NFC or android beam in my preferences window.
Ok, what do you have?
Edit: just noticed it's you in two threads
Finally got mine resolved. Received a new phone under warranty yesterday. Confirmed that NFC works.
