Sound boost hack - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

Sound boost for all US Note 3 variants. You must have a snapdragon cpu. Will not work on octacores. This is the highest volume boost that is still considered safe. You should not experience any clipping or washed out sound.
Installation:
×Flash via gordon flasher here is the app

-OR-
×Unzip this package and copy the file into your system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder which overwrites the stock file. Reboot after file copy.

Has anyone tried this?
I'm using ViPER 4 Android FX (2.3.0.1). It doesn't work with the stock Samsung music player, but does work with Power Amp and some music formats in Google Play Music. With the ViPER app, you can change volume boots on-the-fly and other bass and EQ settings.

Thank you @Brandonrz - that works great!

Can you tell any significant difference in the max volume when using sound "mods" like this?
What kind of difference can you see in the following scenarios:
1.) Stock Sound --> THIS Mod instead?
How about those of you that have been running Viper?
2.) Stock Sound --> Viper Mod ??
3.) Viper Mod --> THIS Mod instead ?

I'm using viper from the playstore and it works great for my music. I work in a factory and plug my 3.5mm head jack into a kicker stereo. The phone speaker it's self seems loud enough for me. No to knock this sound mod at all but I favor the eq in viper. Just my opinion. The only downside of viper is I have to greenify it when I'm done using it.

Do you have to be rooted to do this?

From what I've noticed about Viper is that it doesn't work with every music app.
It doesn't work with the Samsung music player.
It will work with the Google Play Music app with wav (flac encoded) files, but not MP3s.
It will work with Power Amp will all files, but the Power Amp trial app I downloaded can't see my wav/flac files for playback.

I have only been using it for a few days but my understanding is that replaces the stock DSP manager once you install the driver and select it in Settings > Music Effects, so the sound effect *should* be global and affect all music sources. I do not use the Samsung music app, and I do not store MP3s locally. I had some, but many of them must be inferior rips because they sounded flat or distorted no matter what EQ settings I used. I finally decided to try Google All Access, and I am glad I did. Using the highest quality stream and ViPER4Android, it sounds 100x better than my ipod.

The easiest way to know if Viper is working, is that when you are playing music, to go into the Viper app and uncheck the enable box at the top. If you hear the music volume/sound change, then you know it was working, and you can re-check the box.
I know that it doesn't work at all with the Samsung Music app.
On the Google Play Music, it does work with WAV( (FLAC encoded) files, but not MP3s. I don't have the "Google All Access" subscription, so I can't verify if Viper works with it.
Since my MP3s weren't sounding too good while using Viper, I got all my CDs and did them as WAV (FLAC), and copied it over the microSD card (but took about 21GB of space). But it does sound much better than the MP3 rips I did of these CDs many years ago.

I tried that while streaming Google Music, and it definitely makes a difference. I have no MP3s or FLACs to test with the Samsung Music app, so I have no idea if V4A effects will translate through that app.
Since using V4A and Google Music Service, I have heard new musical details (instruments as well as front/rear speaker isolation) on songs that I thought I knew very well. This is most likely due to the poor quality of my MP3s, rather than V4A or the quality of Google Music, but it was a nice surprise regardless. If you have not tried Google Music Service then I highly recommend it, especially if you are surrounded with solid 4G or WiFi. The first month is free. It's not on the same level as FLAC, but it will probably be a step up from MP3.

I downloaded the FX 2.3.1.1 version from the xda thread instead of the unofficial market link because (1) the market link is in Chinese, and (2) I wanted to make sure I got the latest release. Install it like any other apk, go to Settings > Sound > Music effects and select ViPER4Android. You will be prompted to install a special driver, so do that. Reboot, then open "ViPER4Android" in the app drawer, and tweak to your liking. Then play some tunes and adjust EQ and other options as needed. The effects are much more pronounced via the audio jack rather than the speakerphone.

I'm using 2.3.0.1 and it "automatically" installed the driver, as the one from the Play Store had a list of drivers, and I wasn't sure which one to use.
Does the 2.3.1.1 also automatically install the driver?
Edit: Updated to 2.3.1.1 without problem.

only way is to restore a backup (because you DID a backup prior to install beats, didn't you?)
As I said, at that time I m a noob. so no backup. I think i have to reinstall rom. is there any need of dsp manager? music is going on fine. I just want to remove that error of dsp crash.
Sent from Atrix 4G.
Nah, there is no need of dsp (althroug, this is subjetive).. to get rid of that message try disabling dsp effects on android settings, so it won't try to load on boot..
in fact, on my atrix, whenever i enable dsp effects i get the effects plus a very annoying background noise... so i didn't miss it when i installed beats...
The dsp manager is crash because you use the equalizer
You have uninstall the app and afted reinstall the app
P.S. Dont use the equalizer
Sorry bad english
Sent from my GT-S5660 using Tapatalk 2
Beats and DSP manager are mutually exclusive, it's a widely known fact. Just like the fact you don't actually need either. Just like the fact you should ALWAYS make backups no matter what, regardless of your level of expertise. Every tutorial and procedure says that but unfortunately hardly anyone listens.
If you only want to get rid of the crash errors, just delete /system/app/DSPManager.apk (or similar, depending on your system) with a root-level file manager.
thanks ravilov & andresrivas, now i m not getting any errors. From know on I will backup my rom before any nasty experiment!! Is there any way to enhance the quality of music in Atrix 4G??

you're welcome
enhance even more? humm.. you could try a different player, but of all that i've tested, connected music player had the best quality (yes, the stock motorola player).
Also, the quality of the rip makes almost the 90% of the diff... i can pass you a couple of very high quality mp3 so you can see what im talking about

Ok, no offence here, but if you ask to have a beautiful sound even after dsp manager or beats mod is because you actually LOVE to hear music with your phone!
As far as i know, we are listening mp3 at 292kb/s and from that point (I'm a sound mixer/masterer for my music band and quality past that point will mostly NOT be noticeable for any low quality headphones ! I got shurf proffessionnal studio wich cost me 350$ and a normal pair of Sony headphone that cost me 45 and there is no major difference after testing with Sony's but but i admit that there is a huge differences with my proffessional headphones with the sampling play rate!
I supposed if he tried with dsp and with beats and not yet satisfied ,i guess he didn't really want stock player and high quality mp3, unless he is having a good pit of headphones and a good amount of SD card space to contain high quality mp3 past over 320kb/s with an bipollarising ......
Ad i understand, you need power and softness on your phone sound as far as i understand ...
So this way going to be your player apk
Let me say that if you have a couple of buks to use in a player on the store, you are going to enjoy it !
I use to play music a lot with ny mono bluetooth and AFAIK mono BT are made to talk ! Not to listen music .... but i did use poweramp, with sound noddulling and it is amazing after a couple of tweaks within the player equaliser and the stereo enhencer and : WOW !
I can say that there are aany out there but for me after 20 bucks of trying different knowned paid music apk, power amp is really the best !
Soo, my suggestion : as andresrivas said, make sure that your mp3 quality are at a good level
And have a powerfull music player on your phone! The mod is kinda helping but .... not really as powerfull as tweaks with player equalizer !
A small fact : once, I've connected my atrix soundcard trough the headphone Jack into the aux in on a DJ table in a nightclub (le shack) and using poweramp, my everyday equalizer, he didn't touch anything on his table equalizer, and the sound was great! Lot of bass, crystal clear sound .... He seriously told me that my output was better than his iPhone! So, i guess we got to be proud of our atrix

best way is flashing a backup or another rom.. in your case, you must flash the stock rom..
you could also try to delete data for folder player and not using its internal eq or dsp...

Viper4Android works fine on Gingerbread, as long as you use the v2207. Any version above that only works on JB.
If you want, I´ll upload you that version tomorrow...
Please give me the instructions too! I really dont know why is there two apks (FX & XHIFI) !!

(NOTE: XHIFI never made the sound on my phone better, so this is originally for the FX version, even though it works also with XHIFI. Anyway, the FX offers the most options and best sound effects )
1. Extract the apk onto your sdcard
2. copy it to /system/app
3. Reboot
4. Open Viper4Android FX
5. Grant SU permission
6. Install drivers
7. Reboot
After that, you can customize the settings to what sounds best!
Oh, and don´t use the convolver, it either makes your phone laggy or initialises "akward restarts" .
Can you upload ViPER4Android Audio Effects v2207 ? I really cant find it!
@ killroy: found it finally! thanks any way !
Sound iss good btw!

Have you ever tried Mixzing music player 2.7.1? The EQ of mixzing is good, but don't know if better than Viper4Android in Quality.
Does this Viper4Android make music play with more quality? By quality i mean the sound is sweeter and the vocals are higher 'because normally without EQ vocals can hardly be heard, specially on rock songs'.
I tried many apps but none has made vocals become Clear and High to be heard good.
is Viper4Android worth the try for this?. If yes, can you show me your settings to achieve such good sound 'you can take a screenshot and put it here'?
Thanks btw

I did it all, well the effect was a little bit aggressive for my earphones xD but i changed it a little bit so there is no problem xD.
The sound looks like it become a bit more 'rich', but never more 'clear', so i guess there really is no way to make the vocals sound clear and high xD. Anyway i'll keep your effect 'modified' and test it more days, at least the sound being more 'rich' is also an improvement i think xD.
Thanks bro

i don't see any option with the name 'clear audio', so i supposed that was on XHIFI version, i installed it but there's no option with that name either :S xD. What is the real name of the option you're talking about? xD.
After testing today the yesterdays effect of viper4android, i noticed that audio actually got a bit worse and not rich :S , and if i use your headphone effect 'so much bass' then the vocals are even lower than normal :S . So maybe that Clear Audio thing you mentioned can solve this problem i think xD.
Ps: i'm using 2207 fx version. when i installed xhifi 2100 version the option Audio Reconstruction is very very laggy in the sound when Enabled 'looks like the sound is having hiccups all the time xD', i don't know what the f... is happening with this ViperFx thingy xD, having good sound quality is a total Headshot xD.

As said before, the audio profile I posted works best on versions above 2208. When not used on versions above that, the options 'viper bass' aand 'viper clarity' aren't available, which basically defeats the reason to use that profile.

I knew the name was wrong xD. Yes i saw that but you also said that versions above only work on naa-06 kernel and if i'm not wrong there still isn't any rom completly Stable on that kernel , so i guess that viper4android will have to wait because a stable rom is more important than increasing audio quality :S . I tried version above 2207 and the result really was strange bootloops and i had to Restore a Backup of the Rom on CWM :S . But thanks anyway bro .
Ps. Well, i started another thread in this Help section xD, it's about the Text Selection, if you know how to solve my question about this let me know in the thread bro.

Viper4android makes the sound so much better when listening to music on my stereo system, through my phone. However, it seems to only work about 1/3 of the time. Sometimes it will be working, then I'll select a new album to listen to, and it no longer works... And vice versa. Sometimes it just will not work at all, even after a reboot. It's just completely random. I'm running it on a VZW Galaxy S4 with the Hyperdrive Rom installed. I would love to figure out how to get it to work 100% of the time.

[Q][I9300][4.4.2] What Audio Mod/Engine do you use on Galaxy S3 GT-I9300

Hi Guys,
What audio mods/engines are you guys using on your kitkat custom rom.
I have tried Viper4Android FX 2.3.3.0 but honestly did not notice any difference
[before the ppl who created this mod and ppl who use it religiously enjoy it come and kill me, sorry but i mean no disrespect]
So what more options do i have.
I am looking for mods that will
1. Not drain a lot of battery.
2. Offer good, clear, crisp audio quality.
3. be compatible with 4.4.2 KitKat Roms.
Currently on RRemix 5.1.1 + Boeffla Kernel OMNI 2.2
I have tried various customization's on my phone the last piece of my customization puzzle is good audio and so far i haven't found any good solutions.
Any help will be appreciated.
i got exactly the same rom and the same kernel and was wondering the same thing... i also tried viperforandroid and when you put it into expert mode you can change your audio to your liking (different modes of surround, gain, ...) it does make a big difference. but speaker quality still isn't what i would like it to be.

I don't see it in Google Play Music Settings either where it used to be on my Samsung GSIII
I use Music Volume EQ. Pretty good and I think it might be what you're looking for. I don't use it too much anymore since I moved over to PowerAmp.
I'm using Equalizer by Smart Android Apps, LLC.
But now I've flashed CM12 and I was wondering if AudioFx is better and/or more compatible with the OS.
Does anybody know?

Viper Audio

I'm getting the Verizon P3, so unlockable and probably unrootable.
Anyone manage to get Viper working?

I have it working as of tonight. Using the app from the 2.6.0.5 thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-viper4android-fx-2-6-0-0-t3774651
Install that APK, then install the driver inside the app. Optionally, if you want Viper to work in a larger amount of apps, install the Audio Modification Library module from the Magisk repo. This was needed for me to have it working in Spotify.

Did you have to unlock the bootloader before installing Viper?

Does it help making the audio sound better using the speakers?

Yes, as it needs root.

I've always loved viper... I've been reading people have been saying there is an issue with the audio quality when listening to music with it sounding muffled and underwater, just wanted to know if viper corrects that issue.

Not what I asked. I am on Verizon P3. You are obviously not.

AFAIK Viper has always required root, so I am guessing you will be out of luck until someone can figure out the bootloader unlock.
I posted the info to help others as well rather than creating a new thread.

I successfully installed viper using this method, but none of the settings actually improve the sound. To be clear, I don't think the regular pixel 3 sounds bad. It doesn't have as clear of high notes as the pixel 2 but the pixel 2 didn't have any presence of low notes either.
All I can do with viper so far is make the speakers louder at low volume settings, simulate reverb, which sounds terrible, or adjust the equalizer, which doesn't change anything. Any tips?

Are you using IRS files for the Convolver setting? That is where it's noticable the most for me. Headphone/Bluetooth quality improves drastically.

I'm not familiar with those files. I'm mainly using this for the speakers. Can you share more details?

I personally like the Soundalive Clarity profile. It takes some tuning to notice a difference on the Pixel 3 speakers (much more noticable on the OG Pixel), but the headphone/bluetooth differences are night and day. That profile does increase the high note clarity on the speakers IMO.
As you mentioned, the Viper changes don't seem to affect the speakers in any meaningful way, so for now, I'll wait until our device is officially supported.
our device is fully supported, you have to use the irs files to really hear a difference. What cambunch was saying is that the file he used didn't make a drastic change, but that doesn't mean it's not working. The pixel 3 speakers are tuned pretty well out of the box, so results won't be super earth shattering. If you listen to bluetooth it can be really dramatic.

Care to share soundalive profile?
Can someone test something for me please? If you enable the Convolver and select an Impulse Response then play a video recorded on the phone is there a noticeable delay with the audio syncing with the video?

Its found in the link I included in my previous post. I suggest you check out that thread and see all the options available. But here is the link for just the SoundAlive IRS files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2hud2wux...+-+Samsung+SoundAlive+((128k))+-+19042015.zip

Thank you for the explanation, but it's not just the irs files that I want to use. Viper has a long list of tweaks built into the app that simply don't have any effect on the Pixel 3 speakers. The Pixel 2's speakers could easily be adjusted using any number of effects built into the Viper app (equalizer, bass, treble, reverb, etc). When will those features be supported by the Pixel 3?
