Grace UX for 92xT/92xW8 (Noble & A8) Call audio fix - Galaxy S6 General

Hey guys! For those who have a s6 or s6e from canada or T-Mobile US (92xW8/92xT), there is a fix for call audio for Grace UX roms using Arter97's N7 Port Kernel, Noble and maybe A8. I have tested (On Noble v6) that the call audio works and CERTAIN (All will work with workaround from below) apps will playback music and videos. It is a known issue and I was hoping that someone would be able to complete the fix and be able to play music locally stored our devices.
Locally stored music does not seem to be working but, some apps below are some I tried using and I did label the apps working or not with some notes. System audio is perfectly fine, from phone calls to notifications, it seems limited to playing locally stored music. Please view "edit 2", I managed to get around the local music issue.
Here are apps I have tested: YouTube(Working), Spotify(Working), Sammy Music(Not Working), Google Play Music(Working, GPM Streaming library only), Blackmusic Player(Not Working)
Call audio fix I used can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...x-patch-call-audio-fix-t-w8-grace-ux-t3449303
Kernel that must be used (Download the correct one please!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...development/arter97-kernel-galaxy-s6-t3171246
Credit goes to s.raa for N7 audio fix, credit goes to arter97 for kernel
EDIT: A8 confirmed working! Only features not working on T/W8 is AOD and Blue light filter, both of which won't work until someone has been able to compile a kernel with the proper ramdisk and correct fixes for those features and call audio.
EDIT 2: I managed to get locally stored music to play . What I did was remove "Hearingdro_v52" and "SoundAlive_41" from /system/priv-app and install A.R.I.S.E Sound Systems and Dolby Atmos.
I will add a note here: I have not tried just removing "Hearingdro_v52" and "SoundAlive_41". You may try it if you don't like Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos (Which this mod is based on), but I can guarantee that installing this mod makes the audio work with local music files.
Let's hope that we don't always have to do this workaround in the future. But for now, here are the instructions.
here is the XDA link to their thread (Credit goes to the team): http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709
Steps (For installing A.R.I.S.E):
Download A.R.I.S.E Sound Systems Deuteronomy 2.33 (and optionally, Dolby Atmos addon for Deuteronomy)
Simply remove "Hearingdro_v52" and "SoundAlive_41" from /system/priv-app
Reboot into recovery
Make a backup of system (This mod replaces lots of files, and in case you don't like it, you can go back)
Flash A.R.I.S.E Sound Systems Deuteronomy 2.33 First
(Optional, only if you also downloaded Dolby Addon) Flash Dolby Atmos addon for Deuteronomy
Reboot and enjoy the working audio with local music files

I tested on A8 Ported ROMs and works fine...
I wish that someone help us with a FIX for tamerlan kernel, with this we can use a Blue Filter and AOD in ported ROMS.
Thanks in advance.

The fix wouldn't be that simple though, it would require a ramdisk change for sure and some other fixes for call audio. It would also need the fixes for both Grace UX and AOD and blue filter.
I would try to compile a kernel, but I have no idea what fixes are needed and what files need to be included for AOD and blue filter.
Thanks for letting me know the audio works on A8 ports!

Thanks for you support... and if you need a tester for new kernel, please let me know, i still trying to make a mod for this too.

I'm pretty sure that Maqical is already testing a kernel with Note 7/A8 ports. The kernel could already be in the works.

Updated OP with a workaround I figured out to play local music files

Moderator edit:
Forum Rule 12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). If the developer decides to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes available for all to use, albeit with the relevant credit displayed.
When permission has already been given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

VISION:
The Absolute Sound Project is the audiophile's all-in-one one stop shop audio enhancement for the rooted Android OS.
The purpose of TASP is to give everyone the best sound experience possible on Android. There are other mods that do it just as good, if not better. The goal of TASP is to unite the end-user so flashing six different sound modifications becomes a thing of the past. TASP utilizes parts of many different audio enhancing modifications out to create the best experience for music on the Android OS, while adding its own personal touch to increase the overall quality of the VISION.
This mod is for the people, by the people. If you wish TASP to not use your work tell/yell at me via private message in a civil manner (we are adults) and all traces of what has been utilized for TASP from your modification will be removed. If not then you are probably already in the credits. If you are forgotten then say something. No big deal.
We are all adults. TASP wasn't created for myself, but for everyone else like myself who flashed mods like eXtremebeats, EOF EX, PureAudio, Project ERA, LolliViper, HK, HTK, etc. No one wants to flash eight different mods.
TASP is universal. Be together, not the same. Making love, not war.
- It is not recommended to use any other sound mod
- This mod deletes any previous versions of ViPER4Android, AudioFX, DSPManager, and MusicFX and replaces it with a custom V4À specifically catored to Material Design as well as android 5.0.2 users (see credits)
- 5.0.2 friendly but should work on KK
- Includes Dolby Surround & DTS Processing
- xLOUD, Harman Kardon, Beats, sforce all included
- [Alpha WIP] Creates a stereo effect for your device speakers (ie your galaxy s5 will play sound on your front earpiece and back speaker). I removed this because of the bugs
- Clean flash of your ROM with no other sound mods is recommended, especially since this is beta phase. If you have another mod installed I will ignore your bug reports
This mod is in BETA. I'm in the debugging process for several devices. If you're going to test this mod do not have other sound mods installed and be willing to support the debugging process (logs, tests, etc). Please support me with your device name and manufacturer and your experience(s) with flashing my mod (after a clean install of your rom).
HTC/Sony/TW devices are currently a hit or miss. Some find it works, other do not. Feel free to try it out though. AOSP/CM should work like a charm.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1). Clean install your rom with no other sound mods installed. You can dirty flash your rom, but clean install (recommend) is always better (getting rid of orphan data)
2). If you're going to install another sound mod, do so before you flash mine (not recommended)
3.) Your phone needs to be rooted and SuperSU needs to be installed
4). Install the latest version of BusyBox
5). TWRP is the best recovery out there and is always recommended to be used rather than Philz/CWM/etc. Some users are experiencing trouble with errors (usually permissions) during the flashing process, this should theoretically fix that issue
6). If you're using 5.0+: download Selinux Mode Changer and set Selinux mode to permissive
7). If If you're using 5.0+: go into your rom's Developer Options and uncheck "Use NuPlayer". Some users experience compatibility issues with NuPlayer not working with V4A/Dolby, others do not. Better safe than sorry
8). Flash [TASP™] The Absolute Sound Project™ : Making Love Not War - BETA
9). Don't forget to WIPE! (cache/dalvik)
10). Reboot and enjoy the love making to your ears
NOTE: If Dolby or V4A don't work for whatever reason, flash the compatibility patch below as a final measure.

- removed audio_policy.conf for the time being
- added updater script dolby permission lines
- updated or replaced outdated libs with the newest available
- re-added a few libs

[COLOR="red"][B]31/01/2015 - BETA 5:[/B][/COLOR]
- improved touchwiz, slimkat, cm11, and more HTC sense compatibility
- changed updater script a little.

- testing custom audio_policy.conf and v4a build prop tweaks. I need feedback on this one. If you don't have audio effects on v4a try setting all the v4a Tweaks in build prop to "false". Report back to me if you have to do this. This should fix the problem people have had in the past where no matter what they do, they can't get v4a to work normally with all media players
- updated sound alive libs
- other small tweaks
- cleaned up some unused libs
[COLOR="red"][B]29/01/2015 - BETA 3:[/B][/COLOR]
- sounds better than it has ever sounded thus far. Deep and high bass sounds good. Tested acoustic music, dance, electronic, dupstep, metal, rock. All sound more amazing than previous versions
- updated/added effects
- removed sonicmax effect that resulted in unnecessary sound amplification (thanks [user=5648292]@aki_007[/user])
- more srs tweaks and added some additional srs effects
- other changes/fixes
- more compatibility fixes for some HTC Motorola, and Sony devices (hopefully)
- added asound back in (test)
[COLOR="red"][B]28/01/2015 - BETA 2:[/B][/COLOR]
- Added a few Build.prop entries as well as changed existing ones
- tweaked srs config
- other changes/fixes
- compatibility fixes for some HTC and Sony devices (hopefully)
[COLOR="red"][B]28/01/2015 - BETA 1:[/B][/COLOR]
- Initial BETA Release
————————————
I recommend a clean rom install (preferred) but a dirty rom flash should do it(to get rid of deleted files).
ALSO if you end up not getting sound, uninstall the v4a audio driver, reboot, reinstall driver, and then reboot again and it will fix the nosound/no effect issue.

Sounds interesting
After installing the last version I have same situation with my sound exactly I have no sound at all and phone gets laggy as well as I get FC with media storage
The mod works fine with the exception of the Dolby app. Also the music stops when I try to access the Dolby app. Overall most of the enhancements can be heard it is just the Dolby app probably due to the visualizer.
Can somebody test the difference between this mod and eXtremeBeats (they should both use the same V4A profile and headset)?
What are the differences between this mod and eXtremeBeats?
Retracted! unfortunately after I reboot I got a bootloop, tried dirty flashing my Rom but it still wouldn't boot without fc's from all over the place, so unfortunately this is not working for HTC m8

Have you tried once with putting dolby_ds.jar in your rom zip framework folder and fresh install of your rom..
The dolby doesn't work because when you install it with some mod.zip the android system tried to verify the signature which is missing in the framework file although Vinardo had signed it ..
but when you fresh install the rom with dolby in it the android skips its verification as the signature verfification mechanism isn't loaded yet and will load only after the rom boots up and So , you get to hide the dolby from that and make it work...
Its the most successful method till now...Try once and if it still doesn't work then you can restore your backup anyways.
The latest dolby deserves to be tried as it doesn't boosts much audio but adds a nice surround and a little bass but the surround is very good...Goes well with V4A and DCT

The best way to debug the situation is telling my your device, the rom you're currently running, give me a logcat of your bootloop, and it would be a good idea to compare the files in my mod vs the default files in your rom. See what my mod replaces. Make sure you're not running any other sound MOD. It WILL cause conflict.

NO for your mod and I can't find out what's wrong with it , although you and me have almost same files and same lines of codes..
Yes for dolby ... as @jmxc23 is using LOLLIPOP if he can disable signature verfifcation which I couldn't then it will work flawlessly....

You should dirty flash your rom first. I use BlissPop on my s5 which is why you don't have issues with it lol. . I changed a lot though.
Sometimes when you dirty flash all seems well... And then you clean flash and every is so much different.

I haven't taken a look at your mod yet. Link?
What exactly is going on? No sound? Bootloop? The best way I found to debug the situations besides a logcat is go through each and every file in TASP B1 and compare it to your rom files that my mod replaces. Then report back here with the files my mod replaced in your rom. Usually that does the trick.

Ye mate I know. I checked out the zjp and its scope is huge. Haven't flashed anything yet but I do generally always dirty(ish) flash my ROM, gapps and kernel.
My device is a D800. ATT variant of the g2 and generally the second to best variant of the device besides ofc international which is D802 (most dev support).
I take it you run bliss 1.9 (released yesterday for me). I will clean flash it with micro gapps and the most solid kernel available for my phone, render kernel. Do you want me to flash it on my otherwise stock and rooted NVIDIA Shield? I'm glad to test as much as will benefit you.

You can try to nshield. I know nothing of the tegra processor or software. It doesn't hurt to try.
How it the mod sounding for you? Bass, miss, clarity, lows, highs?
Great mod, however I can't get Dolby to work. It flashes and I am able to launch the application. However when it launches there is no FC it just automatically closes.

I'm running LP and I'm not having any issues. Try turning of Nuplayer in developer options of your rom.

Smooth your 5.1.1 TW experience !!

So as you know our S5 mini isnt loved by devs and no custom roms are available for it
so how about we mod the stock rom by our selfs !!!
@xXx made a script for his Galaxy S5 that will clean your rom the way you like it and fortunately its working on the S5 mini as well
so i will copy his thread nothing more i asked him to do so and he said its ok
so lets get started
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner
Features & Benefits
Free Rom choice:*Choose any Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop Rom and cleans it down to a core level. This way you can choose a Rom which fits your personal liking and requirements and clean it down to your comfort level.Reduced to the Max:*Reduce Rom A full blown Samsung Rom comes with about 300 apps which can be brought down to about 75 core appsFaster Rom:*After a full clean you will have about 1.1 GB free RAM available which is about 300-400 MB more compared to a full blown Samsung Rom. This increase the performance.Individual Cleaning Definitions:*The BareBone Cleaner provides you with plenty of options to customize the cleaning process and make sure you prevent apps you want to keep from cleaning.Compatible:*Several user feedbacks confirm that the BareBone Cleaner works with odexed and deodexed as well as Samsung based Lollipop and KitKat roms on all kind of S5 variants.Saved Profilesnes you have defined your individual profile it will be saved as an editable text file on your SDcard (URWsoft folder) and next time you flash a Rom you can run this profile with the exact same settings with no additional effort.You will have predefined profiles for one click cleaning available. One save Default Profile and an Extrem BareBone Cleaning Profile.You can reset your profile to default setting anytime and start to define a new profile.You have a Bypass option available which will keep you defined profile and just present you with a complete unselected profile. This will help you to just select one or more apps for addition cleaning or select one of the Install optionsMulti Window Operation:*On the first customization window you can select which further menus you want to enable. Only these windows will be presented.Alternative Apps and Tweaks:*You might want to get rid of the S5 stock keyboard, or the TouchWiz Launcher. As an alternative you can select the S6 keyboard or Nova Launcher etc. from the Install Apps menu and be able to remove the stock apps without being left with an unusable rom.Rom Specifics Menu:*Most of the rom chefs implement different kind of apps to their roms which are additional to the Samsung standard Rom content. In order to give you the opportunity to get rid of specific unwanted apps which I started this new section. This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.Users Selection Menu:*Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.Additional Features:*The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of*Edgarf28*who provides us with his awesome*XtreStoLite*rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.*
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !

yup i used it on my s5 mini and ive removed 83 Samsung system apps
the device is very fast now and smooth
as for installation download the ZIP and flash it via recovery
it will open a window with an aroma installer
follow the instructions that will show
and just in case make a backup for your current rom so you can restore it if you removed something you need
So I can flash any S5 ROM on my S5 Mini (g800f) ? And then I have to flash this Mod, and ROM should work, right ?

Can you post a comment in his thread of twrp with the problem so he will see it just in case he didnt noticed your message
I think the problem is related to hardware overlays and not handled correctly for this build. There is a workaround in the r4 build of the same TWRP source rev. for the Moto X Play. Aroma hangs when the zip has loaded and the splash screen should be displayed on top of the TWRP interface. It just hangs and all you can do is reboot. Just run this installer from the latest TWRP. It won't change anything until after you have made all these choices. So it should be safe to try.

URWsoft BareBone Cleaner
Features & Benefits
Free Rom choice:*Choose any Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop Rom and cleans it down to a core level. This way you can choose a Rom which fits your personal liking and requirements and clean it down to your comfort level.Reduced to the Max:*Reduce Rom A full blown Samsung Rom comes with about 300 apps which can be brought down to about 75 core appsFaster Rom:*After a full clean you will have about 1.1 GB free RAM available which is about 300-400 MB more compared to a full blown Samsung Rom. This increase the performance.Individual Cleaning Definitions:*The BareBone Cleaner provides you with plenty of options to customize the cleaning process and make sure you prevent apps you want to keep from cleaning.Compatible:*Several user feedbacks confirm that the BareBone Cleaner works with odexed and deodexed as well as Samsung based Lollipop and KitKat roms on all kind of S5 variants.Saved Profilesnes you have defined your individual profile it will be saved as an editable text file on your SDcard (URWsoft folder) and next time you flash a Rom you can run this profile with the exact same settings with no additional effort.You will have predefined profiles for one click cleaning available. One save Default Profile and an Extrem BareBone Cleaning Profile.You can reset your profile to default setting anytime and start to define a new profile.You have a Bypass option available which will keep you defined profile and just present you with a complete unselected profile. This will help you to just select one or more apps for addition cleaning or select one of the Install optionsMulti Window Operation:*On the first customization window you can select which further menus you want to enable. Only these windows will be presented.Alternative Apps and Tweaks:*You might want to get rid of the S5 stock keyboard, or the TouchWiz Launcher. As an alternative you can select the S6 keyboard or Nova Launcher etc. from the Install Apps menu and be able to remove the stock apps without being left with an unusable rom.Rom Specifics Menu:*Most of the rom chefs implement different kind of apps to their roms which are additional to the Samsung standard Rom content. In order to give you the opportunity to get rid of specific unwanted apps which I started this new section. This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.Users Selection Menu:*Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.Additional Features:*The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of*Edgarf28*who provides us with his awesome*XtreStoLite*rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.

[AINUR AUDIO] (named after John R.R Tolkien mythology) mod was conceived on 12th January 2016 at Russian 4pda forum, with an idea to create the ultimate universal tuning solution, that can help people get more from their devices in terms of audio capabilities. Ever since that time we have been aiming at achieving new heights & providing you with a set of different mods (now archived): Pandora as universal SW optimizer, Nero as coloration fx remover, Kronos & Atlant as specific variety of device dependent mods with heavy tuning for different qualcomm cpu's. This allowed us to experiment & to find limitations of what can be tuned in terms of software & hardware within different smartphone configurations.
We were also first to successfully implement hex disassembling method for proper effects porting. Further hex investigations showed that other audio "mods" contained nothing but huge amounts of bloat files, that needlessly took up massive amounts of space on system partitions. Our disagreement with the developers of said mods at times resembled a genuine "war". The discovery of our disassembling method, proper implementation of basic mods & port addons (along with quite a bit of patience) brought you our best solution yet, to help optimize sound on your android device and reach the desired high level of quality, regardless of device manufacturer or cpu.
To go further we now starting a new era of audio mods with a brand new SAURON modification to bring you best sound ever in the audio modding history.

Sauron MK III preparations. Seeking community help!
[Ainur SAURON] MK III
Named after villain from Lord of the Rings mythology - SAURON, this mod automatically detects your device specs (soc/android sdk/rom/oem/proprietary stuff), and performs all of the possible audio patches that might boost sound. Sauron is system-wide modification - all of the patches are aimed to rework system components for androids audio subsystem and should work for headphones/speaker/bt. There is no app/UI.​

MOD IS ON PAUSE, IS NOT UPDATED FOR LONG TIME AND WON'T BE ANYTIME SOON
Basic features:
- Android 5.0 - 9.0 support
- Unity installer by @ahrion and @Zackptg5
- Qualcomm/Exynos/MTK/Kirin/Rockchip/Spreadtum cpu's support
- ARM 32/64 bit support
- Android SFX blobs eplacements (musicfx & audiofx apps might no longer work)
- Cherry picked setprops
- Automatic su.d/init.d/addon.d detection
- Supported roots: Magisk 18+ /SuperSu/CMsu/PHH/LosSU/No root
- AML addons ready
- OTA surviving
Advanced features:
- Qualcomm codec mixer tunings
- Htc u11/u11+, m9, 10, m8 speaker amps patches and additions
- OnePlus 5/5T, Mi 8UD/EE, Mi a2. Pixel 1/XL, Pixel 2/XL, Pocophone speaker amp DSP modifications
- Forced Hexagon DTS Headphone:X module processing, mixer controls & custom config
- * DAC powered devices mixer edits:
- LG v20/30/30+/g6/g7
- LeEco x800/x900
- Nubia z11/z9/z9m
- Axon 7 (moved to custom kernel)
- Lenovo vibe X3
* Parameters forcing for DACs is achieved with mixer additions, thus either framework, or service apps can reset some values back to stock. Sorry, but it seems like device manufacturers doesen't want us to mess with these thing. There is a solution, but unfortunately it won't happen till probably next major version.
User determined features:
You can set these features with sauron_useroptions (UO) file, by placing it to the root of the internal storage. Installer will place the file there during the install, if it's not there already. After resetting values you have to reinstall Sauron each time you want to try/set something new. Some of the stuff there can break sound completely - there is no fix for that, you have to reset stuff back & don't use some of the features that breaks normal use of your device.
I've commented pretty every single thing there with all the info I know by this moment, make sure not to bother me with questions like "wut is dat XXXX feature for, dude?" please
- ACDB replacements
- Universal remover for compressor SFX
- Universal install for Fmas effect
- Qualcomm shoebox & audiosphere effects
- Qualcomm codec bitsize, impedance and discretization forcing
- Compander remover
- Aptx/hd libs, props & hexagon cappi libs install
- Reverb effects for PCM conversions
- Audio policy patching
- Codec power gating remover
- Qualcomm BT scrambler resamling
- Exynos codec resampling
- MTK gain setter
- MTK Impredance setter
- MTK high-pass filter remover
Installation:
!! Debugging !!​READ CAREFULLY​For an error during TWRP - get ainur_debug logs, that are generated to sdcard during install.
Sauron is located in sbin/.magisk/img /ainur_sauron , or sbin/.core/img /ainur_sauron for magisk - this is your starting point.
1. Make sure you don't have anything set in UO, before posting something doesn't work as intended. Check clean install (UO unset) in the first place.
2. For bootloop you'll need to provide ADB logs
3. For any bug after bootup (ie weird device behavior, sound loss, etc) - use matlog app to generate logs
ALL the wrong logs for your issues will be completely IGNORED
VERY IMPORTANT !
Study sauron_useroptions carefully - some combinations could lead to huge sound problems (as it's mentioned in the file), that WON'T be determined as issues. You have to find and you working combo on your own!

Ainur narsil [ mk i ]
NARSIL in Tolkien’s legendarium was the sword that defeated Sauron villain.
This Mod cleans android sfx from both stock and OEM effects as much as possible - delivering unbound sound the way hardware (internal codecs/dacs/amps) was meant to sound by manufacturer. It’s a system-wide modification - meaning it should affect general playback outputs: headphones/speaker/bt). There is no app/UI.

- MMT-EX installer by @Zackptg5
- Supports most SOCs
- ARM 32/64 bit support
- Cherry picked setprops
- Automatic su.d/init.d/addon.d detection
- Supported roots: Magisk 18+ /SuperSu/CMsu/PHH/LosSU/No root

- LeEco x800/x900
- Nubia z11/z9/z9m
- Axon 7 (moved to custom kernel)
- Lenovo vibe X3
* Parameters forcing for DACs is achieved with mixer additions, thus either framework, or service apps can reset some values back to stock. Sorry, but it seems like device manufacturers doesen't want us to mess with these thing. There is a solution, but unfortunately it won't happen till probably next major version.
User determined features:
You can set these features with narsil_useroptions (UO) file, by placing it to the root of the internal storage. Installer will place the file there during the install, if it's not there already. After resetting values you have to reinstall Narsil each time you want to try/set something new. Some of the stuff there can break sound completely - there is no fix for that, you have to reset stuff back & don't use some of the features that breaks normal use of your device.
- OEM sfx restorer (in case of bugs)
- ACDB replacements
- Qualcomm codec bitsize, impedance and discretization forcing
- Compander remover
- Audio policy patching
- Codec power gating remover
- Qualcomm BT scrambler resamling
- Exynos codec resampling
- MTK gain setter
- MTK Impredance setter
- MTK high-pass filter remover
Installation:
!! Debugging !!
READ CAREFULLY​For an error during TWRP - get ainur_debug logs, that are generated to sdcard during install.
Sauron is located in sbin/.magisk/img /ainur_sauron , or sbin/.core/img /ainur_sauron for magisk - this is your starting point.
1. Make sure you don't have anything set in UO, before posting something doesn't work as intended. Check clean install (UO unset) in the first place.
2. For bootloop you'll need to provide ADB logs
3. For any bug after bootup (ie weird device behavior, sound loss, etc) - use matlog app to generate logs
ALL the wrong logs for your issues will be completely IGNORED
VERY IMPORTANT !
Study narsil_useroptions carefully - some combinations could lead to huge sound problems (as it's mentioned in the file), that WON'T be determined as issues. You have to find and you working combo on your own!

The ugly thruth about effects ported from other devices
Xda's sound mods history goes deep down in ages, but there is one particular myth that stays strongly. This myth is based off idea that we can port some external software effect from one device to another. That is completely wrong & most technologies CAN'T be ported.
Almost a year and a half i got my htc m8 drowned & I bought myself meizu m2 note. This device has the worst audio u can imagine, so i started modding it. The first idea was to use well known mods from android software development section. Still I was really unsatisfied with the audio, so I started "porting" & mixing things on my own. After a while i teamed up with several guys from 4pda, that stated "Dude, u do everything wrong. Most of the stuff u are using is not working". OK. So, instead of believing in their words I googled how to make logs, got myself a proper Disassebler & start discovering on how things are working for real.
It's been a huge drama over this thread between me & Arise team. But they are sitting on the very top of the junkyard & there are plenty of "port" mods in this xda section, where things are even worse. I understand that users & evangelists of these mods will call me idiot & stupid, but several people that asked "hey guys, can u explain me how does *thatparticulartechnology* works?" & those people never had a chance to have clear answers. Have u ever interested why? Because people don't know. They think, they can pull several apk's, libs, jars, etc - and this makes effects to work. Well in some cases like Dolby, previous MaxxAudio builds, Am3D, Arkamys - that will work. But for most others it WON'T EVER (well there is a trick, but no one except one guy can do that).
Now I'm gonna share with you all of my findings:
Beats Audio. It's been a very huge history in putting beats libs & binaries into mod's. The first thing you need to consider - beats are deeply bind in HAL. Original HTC m7 flinger has special beats switchers in it, that control the whole effect. Beats API then is tied to Sense framework & several others files. If we open the original file from the M7 - we see that the effect starts with reference to 16A44 substream, and then goes on distributing to multi-channel substreams. So the only thing u need to do - port flinger from m7 to the desired device. The only way to do that - closed arm porting - that is a very tricky way I still don't understand, but Sun_dream successfully did that several times (last time he ported H/K to m9 from m8). Well, we also can replace the HTC M8 flinger with beats one entirety – it will work, but this trick works only under MM. No way to replace flinger on MM & up. All of those "dummy-binaries" like "beatsbass", "beatsnormal", renamed libraries & other stuff - is just nothing but a trash that never worked properly & never will.
Pictures:
Beats API in flinger lib
Harman/Kardon & Jbl. Another HTC technology that people desperately want to port. H/K switcher stays in flinger just the same as Beats. The only way to fully port that - using closed arm porting, but still u would need Htc device for that. There is no other way.
Harman/Kardon from Huawei. I never examined Huawei's pad flinger, but having "libaudioflinger.huawei.so" libs in "ports" is a real surprise. As u can see it refers to original flinger to set HiFi setup. Not every HAL has those connections, or they are written in another way, so the libs won't work on many devices. Also, note that original MediaPad has Kirin CPU, which is different from Qualcomm, MTK & Exynos - the purpose of having H/K from is highly debatable.
Pictures:
Hifi setup
SRS. From the dark ages of android, SRS was used by HTC to optimise your video experience. From 2015 Sony placed it in their XperiaX & XZ. If htc was using it for video stuff, sony uses it for speaker & virtualizer bundle. The problem behind porting it - the good all flinger & HAL. Yes, SRS is also written in flinger, so no way it will work outside original device.
What surprises more - is edits devs make to srs configs for those devices that originally has it - like Project Yume pushes the eg compressor value to 15000. While the maximum is only 1. Even if this effect works for your device, dear devs change it so deep, that it becomes non working)
DeeHX & LDAC. Sony’s Dseehx optimization works ONLY with proper player (Sony’s default music player & PowerAmp) that has DseeHX API. Even when you port SOMC & try to switch DseeHX you won’t hear any audible changes as this thing is also deeply integrated in the whole framework. If you take a look at Z2/Z3 threads - u can see, that before Sony made DseeHx for Z3, people tried to port it from Z5 & failed. Even when Sony finally made it working on Z3 the cap was 96 upsampling) This thing is very specific & hw dependent, so claiming that you have successfully ported - is ridiculously stupid.
Speaking of Ldac - i didn’t examine it deeply, but my guessing is that it is tied to adtp policy, which can’t be replaced with just your wish.
When you make a port of Sony features - you clearly can hear some noticeable changes to audio - i guess that is work of Xloud &/or Clearphase &/or ClearAudio. I didn’t found anything in logs, when i was playing with files from XZ & X. So let’s call this stuff as “partially working”.
DTS. There are various devices having DTS - vivo, asus, acer - but none of them are truly working. For example vivo stuff relates to huge amount of files in the system which works only on vivo. Asus DTS is seeking for particular app (which devs are deleting, cause it can’t be properly porter and modified) & for special flinger that has “Icepower” switcher in it, or at least has set the “fasttrack” to “false”. I’m waiting for acer jade2 - so i can take a look at it’s implementation of DTS, but as far other phones are very hw & framework dependent, I highly doubt it can be ported.
Audio_effects Configs. Now that is the “greatest” & the funniest part of all. I can imagine that “modders” are lazy enough, they don’t want to use disassembler & google. But writing mad configs - is a real disaster. Devs call this “method” an “engine” - what they basically do is putting a non working effect like “eagle_pipeline” (that is used in DTS effects) & trying to stick to standard proxy lib) The whole config in a typical way is written for soundfx API to take part in rendering the audio - like “preeffect” bundle is setting echo cancellation & controls gain, rewerbwrapper is controlling the amount of reverberations & is typically used for aux setup, etc. That is why most of audio_effects configs looks the same, with small integrations of other effects phone developers put into it, so that their own effect will work. But you can’t load unloadable effect (any of those i wrote above), by mixing it with standard API. HAL would appeal to particular library & particular uuid of the effect & only then, if needed will load standard API to render the sound.
This info i was collecting for last half a year. I might be wrong in several places, but I guess you got the main idea: most of effect technologies rely much on particular frameworks & Hw stuff. I’m not sorry for being rude to several people over this thread & there are several other guys i disrespect even more for trashing the whole AD&H section with their crap (no, not Arise guys, as i said - they are just the top of the junkyard). This whole situation leads me to idea, that 90% of “modders” doesn't know what they really do. What is even worse - other people take their work & use it in their projects, so after a while everyone believes that this stuff is truly working. That huge amount of partially working “mods” are trashing your system partition with up to 200+ mb of useless files! “Modders” make ridiculously stupid mistakes, but users still admire & praise them. I don’t need to soothe my ego that much, I just want to warn users of that rubbish: please, don’t be fooled! Make your own research!
Ainur FAQ
What happened to pandora, atlant, and nero?
The best of each have been combined into one: SAURON. These are now all deprecated and will no longer be supported.
Are there any pre-requisites?
Yes, busybox is required. Starting with Sauron MK I.III.I, @osm0sis' busybox is bundled with Sauron so you no longer have to worry about it.
What other audio mods are supported alongside ainur audio mods?
Only audio mods using @ahrion's audio modification library (aml). Others may not work, cause weird issues, and/or completely break everything.
Is there any particular order in flashing these audio mods and other aml audio mods?
Not anymore. This was fixed in Sauron MK I.IV
Will these mods survive dirty flashes/OTA updates:
If your rom has addon.d support, yes, so a dirty flash will not remove them. See the Uninstallation section below for proper removal
Supported Root Methods and Corresponding Location of Scripts:
Magisk 12 or newer - /magisk/ainur_modname
Systemless SuperSu - /su/su.d
System SuperSu - /system/su.d
Rootless - /etc/init.d *Note that your rom must have init.d support for these scripts to run. With Sauron MK I.IV.II, init.d support will be automatically added if it is not already present.
What if my root method is not supported?
You can try to use init.d override. Create an empty file on the root of your sdcard called 'ainur_initdoverride'. Then flash the installer and it'll install scripts for init.d. Make sure this file is present during the uninstallation too.
What if I use magisk but want it installed to system so my device boots faster?
Use magisk override. Create an empty file on the root of your sdcard called 'ainur_magiskoverride'. Then flash the installer and it'll install the files to system instead of magisk img. Scripts are still installed to magisk img though for magisksu compatibility (won't affect boot time much at all). Make sure this file is present during the uninstallation too.
Things To Do Before First Installation:
MAKE A BACKUP
If using magisk version < 13, create an empty file on the root of your sdcard/internal storage called 'ainur_propcompatibility'
Remove any other audio mods (Clean flash may be necessary here)
If using magisk, read the Troubleshooting Section for Magisk here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and check that your phone is compatible with magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues. If there's a device support issue open for your phone, then it's probably not supported yet
Installation:
Follow the previous section
CREATE ANY AINUR OVERRIDE/COMPATIBILITY FILES ON SDCARD AS NEEDED ABOVE (KEEP THESE FOR UNINSTALL TOO)
Flash the following in order: Rom, root method, ainur module
If using magisk, disable busybox in magisk manager
Magisk Troubleshooting:
If you're spontaneously losing root/weird magisk stuff happening:
Did you disable busybox in magisk manager? If yes, try the following
Go to battery optimization settings and disable battery optimization for magisk manager
Disable magisk hide
If you're seeing weird stuff in twrp involving data partition or see 'Error 2' when installing anything involving magisk
Boot into twrp
Go to Advanced -> terminal
Type:
Code:
e2fsck -f data/magisk.img
Say yes to prompts to repair errors
**Note that in some rare instances, the magisk img is too corrupt to be recovered. In these cases, you'll need to uninstall/reinstall magisk
Uninstallation:
Flash the corresponding uninstaller
OR Clean flash rom
Note: If you're on a rom that doesn't support addon.d (like stock), a dirty flash will work too.
Safety Net:
Safety net will only pass if rootless or using magisk. Here are the steps to pass safety net with magisk:
Open magisk manager
Go to settings
Enable magisk hide and reboot
Still note that Safetynet is a losing battle. See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68424605&postcount=2
UPDATE: Google has made some kind of update to safetynet so it will no longer pass with magiskhide. This is being working on in v13 betas.
Ainur Module Updating:
Flash the uninstaller for the version of the module currently installed
Flash installer for new version of ainur mod
Does this install any apps like viper4android or just modify system files? Also, will viper work with this mod if not installed?

Mad configs, Many "ported" features work only on original devices, as they are tied to flinger, or other libs. Sony features - it's placebo. Samsung features work only on Exynos, and won't on MTK or QC, and vice versa. Dts - won't work anywhere except Huawei or Vivo (where did they came from). Beats & SRS from m7 - work only with m7's flinger (Sony Xperia X Performance also has SRS written in flinger). Arise also has many libs ripped off music playes - those libs won't work outside player apps! The same with other mods. You can look into logs on your own to define what is properly working & what's not.

Hey the audio effects conf puts the music players libs in effect globally like neutronmp.so you'll find being used in arises audio effects conf. @guitardedhero can we clear the water before war breaks out like I already see its going to
See libs are not being thrown in at random
So is this a mod that just modifies system?

Now show the logs, that it's running without any errors & flinger got them working) I highly doubt it woukd without connection to service app (for example Ice from Asus shown in the picture).

Okay here's a better question what the hell are you guys using to produce the effects if theres no audio effects conf or anything like that it looks like this is some libs thrown together with nothing to call on those libs to be used regardless if its placebo or not arise still is superb over this so whatever arise is using to clog the system is actually pretty darn nifty.

He patches the audio_effects with the library path and uuid. This guy, these guys, know what they're doing. Trust me, this is not another one of those "goons" threads. :good:

We are using audio libs EVERY android phone has by default) Just extractetd from right places & mixed for perfect audio output. Doma999 even deleted all of the "soundfx" folders - and guess what? Audio still works, he's even saying its way better for him (on htc m8). Will try this hack later on my devices.

How to install
Mod installs via custom recovery(TWRP 3.02). After startup options must be configured properly. Freeze or rename existing AudioFX (MusicFX). ViperFX set in compatibility mode and restart the device. Then run the application "Music" from Sony. Get the necessary permissions and select "Audio Settings" default EQ.
Dont forget about backup
How to uninstall
Uninistall mods
In order to remove the mod completely, necessary, as mentioned above, to restore the backup or flashing rom without wipe over that to restore the system files.
Notice:
If you have Magisk instead of SuperSU use fix below(post #2) . Flash via TWRP after any mod. Fix is the AudioModLib. Always fresh fix you can download here. .
Changes:
Made the final amendments in the archives. Now the audio_policy.conf file from which deep buffer is deleted has a saved original version of audio_policy.conf.bak. And in case of problems with sound in the internal speaker , just restore the original version.

If you have Magisk instead of SuperSU use fix below . Flash via TWRP after any mod. Fix is the AudioModLib. Always fresh fix you can download here.

Only update via Google Play. Surround sound (VPT) work with speakers too . aptX, aptXHD and LDAC support. I think that are final builds. Wait feedbacks.
Note.
DSEE HX working (The Slider is always OFF though; however, it DOES work)
DSEE-HX DOES WORK when you turn it "ON". Just left it after turning "ON".
To toggle OFF the DSEE-HX you have to switch the slider to "ON" again, then turn "OFF" because the slider always display as "OFF".
Further explanation: The Sony DRM cause the issue with the graphic file of the DSEE-HX's slider. It, however, does not affect the audio quality or function of this MOD.(Thanks for this clarification @sirdoha)

Need update Sony Music after start. Does not work on all roms
Uninstaller is the same as for SonyPlayerFull.
Dolby Atmos Oreo mods​*new*
I made some Dolby Atmos Oreo mods based on @guitardedhero fantastic port.
All builds simply different . Need select for self more compatable. Maybe temporary bootloops after reboot from recovery , dont worry try reboot else one(only one). Sometimes on roms with magisk root is lost. Do reboot. Mods which with Viper's prepared can install via TWRP and then can install ViperFX 2.5.0.5 as ordinary application. So in magisk roms you can delete Dolby via magisk manager and Viper FX from rom settings .
Who want to get mod with SonyMusic&ViperFX&DolbyAtmos can add to DolbyAtmos&ViperFX simply Sony Music application from here .

might be because of the AOSP builds at the moment then,
the camera on the Z5p works 50% of the time, so maybe some sound issues or other build issues are still around as well

How to report a bug/Ask for a change​
Over the small amount of time I've been doing my edits and shared them with the community, I've noticed something that seems to irritate me. I can't speak for all the developers on this forum, but I do edits/ROMs/PORTs/etc... to what I like. I don't work for anybody else but me. I share my work because it may have something of value to other people and/or some people may share the same taste as me on regards to what they want on a ROM.
That being said, that doesn't mean I will completely ignore what the community has to say.
First and foremost, it must be said, I am merely a beginner. I do not claim to be a professional developer that knows how to add everything, I am nowhere close and I learn as I go.
There are ways to ask for something and/or report a bug when it comes to ROMs, and this post is my attempt to try to explain how to (and how not to) report a bug in order to help me out as much as possible to try to fix something
You can also ask for something to be added, but there are also ways to ask for something
So, here we go
Keep in mind:
I do not add stuff that can easily be downloaded from the Playstore
I, myself, don't do kernel edits
I COULD remove stuff if NOBODY uses it
---REPORTING BUGS---​
How NOT to report a bug:
"SystemUI (or any app)is crashing, please help!"
"Instagram doesn't allow me to edit my post, what could be wrong?"
"My bank account app is not letting me do such thing"
These posts are sort of pointless as they only state something but I have no context on what could be causing it. Also, I can't really control (for the most part) third-party apps, so if you're going to ask about them this way, don't even bother
A slightly better way to report a bug:
"I clean installed the ROM and was working fine, after I installed Facebook and logged in, I immediately uploaded a photo and SystemUI started to crash. Can you look in to it?"
"I tried to install Black Neon theme (a link to it would work as well) and it was working fine until I tried to activate AOD (or anything else for some reason) and SystemUI (or any other app) is crashing, could you look in to it?"
"My bank account app doesn't let me take a screenshot of my accounts. I get a toast notification saying "Can't take screenshot due to security policy"
As you can see, this provides a bit more context and explanation on your current situation. This gives me a little more detail on trying to replicate the problem and hopefully could fix it by replicating it. Well, except for point #3 which is out of my hands for the most part (I think). If you include what kernel you're using would make everything better! Also any significant change that would require root (like xposed and or anything that modifies /system also needs to be informed for better results)
The BEST way to report a bug:
LOGCAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please learn the ins and outs of a logcat, this really helps a lot on finding what the problem is. Also, please give a brief explanation as the above examples when providing a log cat
---ASKING FOR STUFF TO BE ADDED---​
How NOT to ask for stuff:
On your next update, add iris scanner
You should add (app) on your next update
Hey, please add (app or feature) on your next update
No, I do not work for you. Even if you say please like the third example, that doesn't mean you're being polite. It still sounds like an order lol so you should probably rephrase your request.
How to ask for stuff to be added to my work:
Would you be so kind to add (feature) to your ROM, if possible?
Would it be possible to add this app to your ROM?
Please, can you add (feature) to your ROM, if it isn't much to ask?
See how politeness makes everything better? You're not demanding it, you're just politely asking to see if maybe it is within my grasp to add something. And if all request would be like this, I can assure you I'd try my best to add said feature
I hope this is useful to you or I at least hope that some people read it.
If not, I can just tell you to return to stock ROM, probably better than any ROM I put out anyway
-reserved2-
-one more-
My opinion
The best rom for j2 prime i recommended for all j2 prime users
A lot of thanks for all the developers?
Here we go.Keep it up.I hope you can shade faith on J2 Series and do something great in future.Good luck and again never give up.
Gonna try this one mate.
Gracias hermano!

You can flash this kernel through TWRP (create a backup first, please)
Then wipe dalvik and cache
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536996525
How to flash boot.img through TWRP:
1.- Select Install
2.- Select Install Image on the bottom right hand corner
3.- Select boot.img
4.- Select Boot and swipe to confirm flash
5.- Wipe dalvik and cache
(Don't forget to re-root)
Should get adb back

How much space is left on data partition? currently i'm on stock G532MUMU1AQH1 Panama ROM and i can get 3.2GB free on data partition after factory reset and uninstalling pre-installed games.

2.3 GB after fresh install.
But I've heard that some users have used an app (that I am not allowed to mention in XDA) to re-odex the ROM and get an additional 1 GB of storage.
Should be plenty of information going around
i'ts rom work fine on g532f without bug:laugh:

Thanks for everyone's time and willing to test
