Arise sound mod alternatives - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Okay I know Arise sound mod is pretty much the golden standard and as a matter of fact that's what I'm using atm. But with the development being simply great under RN3P, I'm finding myself flashing roms/updates every other day and while the TB is handy and some other apps to get my phone up and running in no time, it's not exactly the same for the Arise Sound Mod (ASM). You have to go through it's little niggling process to install it again and set it however you like. If it was just a matter of flashing an extra zip I wouldn't be raising this issue, and while I reckon it's something that takes like 5mins to be done, sometimes I'm so lazy I couldn't be arsed to do it (I know I'm a lazy bump). So I was thinking is there any alternative out there? Before ASM I recall Poweramp did leave a good impression on me and I may be going back to it and taking the premium version, but I wanted to know what do you guys think? Any other app or mod out there can be installed more easily?

Well nothing beats arise in terms of the sound quality that it gives. If you find it hard to get the configs going Everytime when flashing a new ROM, then you can use TiBu to backup data for the arise apps and then restore the data after flashing the mod and then a simple reboot will get you back on track.

This is IMHO 10X Better. Flash Nero Version and equalize all with Viper.

You can only backup the app data and configuration of like your settings for viper app and Dolby...You cannot backup the whole thing with TiBu...Just reflash the mod and restore data for it's apps....

cyanogen mod missing apps?

when i flashed cyanogen mod 7 last night the android market and other google related apps were not in my app drawer. If i download Latest gapps on the ROMs listing page will it fix this issue? its really annoying me i don't understand what the point of that is... anyways, if that will fix the problem, do i flash that entire zip as it were a rom, or do i explore it on my PC and copy over the apks to my SD card. please help

CM7 is straight Android with some reasonable improvements and modifications. No apps come with it but the bare essentials. Some people very much prefer it sans gapps, as the Google apps pack is know, because once it's in there it's like an octopus. To answer your question, yes, just download the gapps.zip and flash it as you would a ROM.
i was pretty sure that the android market would be considered a bare necessity for your phone.... i guess that would just be stupid to include something that's really important and makes sense.. i dont understand why all roms don't come with the same apps, if you can flash a rom im pretty sure you can figure out how to go into file manager and delete some apps, it doesn't come with titanium backup either which annoyed me..

The cm roms are not allowed to include gapps. Early on the original dev received a c&d order to stop putting them in, so now you flash them separate. It's not that hard, nor does it take long. Download rom, download gapps, download kernel if you want, flash all in recovery. Done.

No, it's not in any conceivable way a necessity for Android. There's many ways to install apps and different markets to use as well. MOST devs don't make habit of making as many personal choices for the user as humanly possible. Some people don't use Ti backup. A HUGE part of a custom ROM is not having to deal with the bloatware. Some consider all that crap you're talking about useless bloatware and CM7 is aimed squarely at the folks who'd consider Google apps unwanted bloatware. Why are you even trying it if you don't like it???
not wanting an app market to me is just plain stupid... whats the point of going that out of the way to put apps on your phone when you can download them in seconds with the market - the right way.. i tried it because i wanted to check it out but i just dont think it's for me and i'll probably just use a th3ory rom

Yes. Please do. You're DEFINITELY NOT a CM7 kinda guy. And can ya do me a favor? Stop calling things you don't agree with stupid and presumptuously proclaiming what the "right way" is for something to be done? I can fully understand why someone might not want Market on their device. I've got plenty of apps I install from other sources. It's not like it's a big deal. You just install them, and it's faster than Market most of the time.

He's not mad, he's right. lol, you look like a real lazy guy. If you love market so much and don't want to flash gapps after cm7, you definitely don't belong to custom roms section as such. I'd recommend that you stop Modding your android and use stock rom that came with your phone.
Again, law prohibits use of weed and inclusion of gapps in cm7 by default. You got to learn to deal with things even if you don't like them.

I don't use the market much anymore, everything I use I have backed up in Titanium Backup. One really nice thing about not having the market installed is I can use my apps without requiring a update first, this really annoys me especially when the update sucks and I want to re-install the previous version through Titanium Backup but can't use the previous version because there's an update. I add the apk's I want into the zip before I flash it, that take 2 seconds and its tailored to my liking, not the Dev/other users.

Just not keen on the attitude. I'm not a huge fan of AOSP myself. It's just too spartan for me and I've never felt like building up a ROM to do what I've come to enjoy from Sense. My girlfriend thinks it's the best thing ever. I appreciate what it is, why she and others likes it, and why they develop it the way they do. I'm VERY glad it's out there because, as a project, Cyanogen contributes immensely to the Android community. Just doesn't seem like you respect CM for what it is.
Just flash the google apps zip in recovery and you'll get the market back she whatever else you want that google makes.
umm...wow @ this whole thread
Market still missing after flashed gapps
My market still missing even after I flashed gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip..how to solve this guys?
It's because of the lawyers
See here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Technically no ROM can ship with Google's app bundle out of the box; you have to flash separately. CyanogenMod, being a much bigger organization than most ROM producers, have to be more by-the-book.

[Q] did i break zip alignment?

After installing Viper ROM, I had a brilliant idea to uninstall a bunch of apps that I don't use.
So I wonder, did that break the zip alignment? Should I go back and reflash it?
Thank you!

You haven't quite yet detailed what leads you to believe that you broke zip alignment... can you give further details?

The only symptom is my general paranoia I just recently read about what zip alignment means, and started wondering whether or not I should have done it.
As far as what I deleted. Swype, Sense launcher, most of sprint stuff, google music (I use the other music player), google movie player, ringtone widget, live wallpapers, mail, gmail, clock, etc.
So far the phone works fine, quadrant scores come out a bit lower than what some people mentioned (comes out at about 4800). My point is that I did all that stupid stuff to make it work faster, but I have a nagging feeling that I may have made it worse. It's not noticeable either way, I'm just trying to understand it better.

MeanBean 3.03 apps

Try using an app freezer first then if there's no negative impact un install frozen app. Of course do a back up of each app incase there's a problem later. That way you don't have to reflash rom.
Titanium backup
System tuner
This is the most recent list for Sense I could locate for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197265
If you're flashing ROM's with some regularity, I do. And I don't feel like removing apps from the zip. Here is an app that makes it simple to do after the fact: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32849928
You could also set up ROM Cleaner to take care of it for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832162
Hope that helps

Just get the NO-Sense_user.txt from here and use Notepad++ to customize it just remove the # from anything you want to remove
I could if you'd like but it would be better to edit one for yourself as I probably have A LOT of things deleted that you might want to keep and might have kept a lot of what you want deleted. It's really simple to edit as you are only putting in or taking out a # sign.

[ALL VARIANTS] ViPER4Android [ZIP][FLASHABLE]

Disclaimer: I will take no responsibility if flashing this zip somehow causes you to go deaf, hurts your cat, noise complaints from your neighbors, anti-social behavior, getting hit by a bus, your grandmother begins twerking, broken windows and/or any other imaginable royally screwed possibility.
Q&A: Yes, the Hi-Fi Quad Dac functions with ViPER4Android.
Credits: @zhuhang for ViPER4Android FX/XHiFI, and @jcadduono for working out the root shell exploit and hooking us up with TWRP.
Features: Systemwide ViPER4Android FX 2.3.4.0 (higher audio processing) and ViPER4Android XHiFi.
Installation steps:
1) Make sure you're rooted and have TWRP installed.
2) Install BusyBox, preferably to /system/xbin (otherwise XHiFi will not work, only FX will).
3) Navigate to /vendor/etc (/system/vendor/etc) and delete audio_effects.conf. ZIP has been updated to delete the file.
4) Flash the attached zip.
5) Ignore the version typo while flashing the provided zip. ZIP has been updated to correct this.
6) Ignore the the su binary warning in XHiFi.
7) Optional: Active High Impedance mode by following my guide in the Guides, News & Discussion forum. // http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-impedance-mode-activation-t3507227
8) Profit???
Any chance we can get a flashable ARISE zip or a test try from someone willing to try it? If Viper4Android works, and functions 100%, then chances are we can probably use ARISE. Would love to get a definitive on this subnect either way.

I flashed ARISE+Sound+Systems+Deuteronomy+2.3.3 and it sounds awesome. Only problem I'm having (haven't tried bluetooth yet) is that it stops processing when I either manually change tracks (doesn't stop when it goes to a song by itself) or when I alternate between players (spotify >usb audioplayer pro or vice versa). I have to toggle master power off/on to restart it.
Wonder what the fix would be for that?
Flashed file in OP+Poweramp Latest Beta. Sounds awesome

[ROOT] RoidDroidVoid's Silent LG V20 Camera Mod v.0.99 -UPDATED 2/3/17 (SELFIE BUG)

RoidDroidVoid's LG V20 Silent Camera Mod
(Now with Less Sound!)​
THERE IS A BUG THAT CAUSES A FORCE CLOSE WHEN SWITCHING TO SELFIE CAM​
ATTENTION: I am re-posting the download links for those of you that do NOT care about the selfie camera. I have been using this mod since I first made it but I never use the selfie camera so please take this into consideration before deciding to use this mod for now.
I am working to resolve this issue and I'll post an update as soon as it is fixed.
***IMPORTANT - If you accidentally click the camera switch button, it will keep force closing until you clear the camera app data.***
Since there are no negative repercussions to clearing the camera app data, it hasn't been much of a bother to me personally.​
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any harm that may be caused by your negligence, my mods, apps, kernels, ROMs or anything else! This is not likely to cause any major issues but in the unlikely event that anything does go wrong, remember, you FLASH AND/OR INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK! Backing up first is always a good idea.​
This replaces the stock LG Camera app with my modified Silent Camera app. No more jarring and distracting camera noises!
This is based on the 10d Camera app for the time being. I am moving to the 10j Camera on the next version. That version will not have the selfie bug. (I'm absolutely determined that it won't. :fingers-crossed
You MUST be rooted! I have only tested this on my H918 LG V20 (which is on Tilde88's NotSoStock ROM) so let me know if it works for you and what model you have so I can add the info to this post.
This is in ALPHA. Once the only known issue (broken selfie cam) is resolved, I'll increment the version and update this post.
I have included the APK if you'd rather handle the camera replacement yourself. (Copy to /system/priv-apps/LGCameraApp then remove the existing LGCameraApp.apk and make sure the correct permissions are set)
I have also included a TWRP flashable ZIP. (Flash from TWRP)
At the very bottom of this post, you will find the stock camera as both a flashable ZIP and the APK if you want to return to stock.
I hope everyone enjoys the fruit of my labor! If you do, please let me know!
*** Please DO NOT use my work in your ROM or otherwise include it in your work without giving credit where credit is due! ***​
*** As long as you give due credit, you may use my mod without my permission! ***​
I may make further enhancements to the camera app in the near future but I couldn't think of anything else to improve yet.
(Thank you Jeep447 for finding and reporting selfie bug)
(LG built the camera, I just silenced it.)
Flashable Zip - HERE
OR
APK Only - HERE
To restore the stock camera you may either flash the following ZIP or manually replace the APK which you can find below as well.

Thanks, testing it now! I created a titanium backup in case there's issues. If it's easy and on hand would be great if you could create a restore package with the stock.
So does this camera mod decreases the added noise LG adds to there camera or is this a mod to remove camera sounds (audio)?

This mod removes the loud annoying camera sounds. Are you referring to visible noise?
Thank you for your work on this but I'm on a rooted stock H-918 V20 (T-Mobile) and unfortunately the manual way is not working for me, I renamed the original Apk, copied the one you provided to the same folder, corrected the permissions, and then rebooted.
Once it booted up the camera app and icon were there and looked like normal, and when I first opened the camera everything looked good and I was even able to take a picture from the rear camera. The problem is whenever you swipe across the screen to switch it to the front camera it almost immediately force closes (and then every time you open the app after that it just keeps force closing until you clear data so it'll open with the rear cam first again), so then I tried clearing the app cache and data and then it'll open like normal again but anytime I'd try switching to the front camera it would always force close?
Anyway just thought I'd mention it and see if I'm possibly doing something wrong? I didn't flash the zip because I wanted to be able to revert back but now that I've backed up the original Apk once I finish my nand backup in TWRP I'll give it a shot and post the results. If you have any suggestions or need more info from me just let me know and I'd be happy to help anyway I can, thanks again!
Edit : One step I did that I forget to mention is that I renamed the Apk that you provided so it was exactly the same name as the one I was replacing, and I'm pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do but just thought I'd mention it just in case I wasn't supposed to. Thanks

When I first tested, I wasn't seeing the FC but I just checked it again and I can verify that it is FCing when the camera is swapped. Thank you for testing and reporting the issue!
I will figure out the issue and post a new link when the problem is resolved. In the meantime, I posted the original APK and a flashable ZIP to return the stock camera.
(BTW - Renaming is fine but it is not necessary)
I hope to turn this around tonight but it's really late here so I might not get the links back up until tomorrow.

Hey RoidDroidVoid, i had a similar experience to others--appeared to flash ok and camera would initially open but then FC when going to selfie mode. Also I still had shutter sounds when taking pics. Is it supposed to silence camera entirely? If so let me know where the setting for that is.
Also as an FYI, my titanium backup did not restore correctly so i had to restore my NAND backup. Just so others know to use that method on future mods that involve system apps.
Thanks for you efforts!

Instead of having to go through all of that and having to restore a nand backup all you have to do is use a file manager and go into SYSTEM - PRIV-APP - LGCAMERAAPP and make a copy of LgCameraApp.apk and save it somewhere on your SD card, that way if something is goes wrong you can always just copy it back to that folder and you're good to go [emoji106]

Yeah that's actually why I didn't flash the zip at first and just did it manually, because that way if something went wrong I could just go right back to the way it was without a lot of work. That was also before the OP posted a "Revert back to stock" zip though, so now that he has whenever he releases an updated zip I'll just go ahead and flash it this time.. because if something goes wrong it's as easy as flashing the revert zip to go back to normal.
It's always a good idea to make a backup before you do any kind of mod though because it's better to be safe than sorry, I guess it's just my luck but for me at least it seems like everytime I do something without making a backup first, it always happens to be the time something goes horribly wrong lol. So yeah it doesn't take too many times of having to start all over again from scratch before you learn that it's always best to have a backup first before trying something lol!

Hey RoidDroidVoid, i had a similar experience to others--appeared to flash ok and camera would initially open but then FC when going to selfie mode. ...had shutter sounds... Is it supposed to silence camera entirely? If so let me know where the setting for that is.

Thanks for letting me know your experience. I know the camera swap issue is present as we've already covered but I don't understand the shutter sounds you are hearing. I am unable to reproduce this issue which has me a little confused.
Is it possible then that you have the sounds saved in the '/system/media/audio/ui' folder still? On most phones, removing or renaming the relevant files in that folder will remove the camera sounds but LG decided to embed their noises and compile them into the app. I did not think to remove them with the package since I didn't notice any reference to them in the code and removing them did not remove the sounds.... but they may be causing the issue which would be interesting.
Maybe Jeep can tell us whether or not he renamed or deleted the external camera oggs beforehand. I did that first and forgot about their existence after that failed to remove the noises.
Let me know and, in the meantime, I'll see what happens if I put them back.

I have been bogged down at work and losing sleep so I did not get a chance to resolve the issue. What I did do is get a logcat and do my best to analyse it. Also, I rather thoroughly tested every aspect of the modded app and it seems that the camera swap is the only functional problem. Maybe you could confirm the same?
I think I'm onto the source of the camera swap issue but I'll need to pull everything apart and start over to see if my hunch is right so please be patient (not that you haven't been).
Also, thanks for helping jay.
I just got done with work so I'll try to accomplish something this evening. I hate it when work gets in the way of the things I'd rather be doing.
On an unrelated note - I wish your Coleco tag was true... that would be bada$$. :laugh:

[emoji23] [emoji23] You sound like you might have been gifted with my kind of luck, although I wouldn't really call it "luck" though.. more like a black cloud that follows you around everywhere you go and just sh*ts on everything for no good reason! [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

I know exactly what you mean because work is always getting in the way of the things that I always want to do too, but it's just a vicious circle because without work I wouldn't be able to afford to do the things I want to do anyway lol!
Anyway no worries at all man take your time and if there's anything I can do to help please let me know and I'll be happy to do whatever I can for ya, I pretty much came to the same conclusion about switching cameras being the only problem because it was the last thing I hadn't tried and everything else worked like it should. I did not mess with any of the camera .ogg sound files and the shutter sound was muted on mine so that's just strange, the only thing for me that wasn't working right was the switching cameras and everything else was golden.
And yeah I wish my tag could be true too [emoji23] [emoji23]!!
I mean I'm good and everything but I'm not THAT good!! LOL

Just thought I'd check but I'm assuming you must've hit a road block on this unfortunately? Either way thank you again for the time and effort you put into this because it's much appreciated!

Hey... sorry I did not abandon this. I recently started a business and business has been pretty good so I have neglected more than this project lately.
Tomorrow I would like to give another shot at getting the selfie cam to work without the fc issues.
If you are on 10j, could you pm me and we can coordinate so you can test?
I haven't updated at all but the versions are likely different now so I'll grab what I need from the new rom. I don't want to take the time to upgrade right now so maybe I can get this done without.
I have been using my silent modded camera and I'm very pleased with it but I don't use the selfie cam like ever. It does suck pretty bad, however, if I accidentally hit the button with my hand and then have to go through resetting app data.
Let me know if you would like to help me expedite the fix.
Thanks!

No need to apologize at all man I completely understand, I actually run my own business too so I know exactly how easy it is for things to get lost in the shuffle!
I'll do whatever I can to help out but I hate to say it though I'm actually still on 10d too, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing but I'll pm ya either way and see if I can still help! Thanks for responding and no worries at all I'm glad to hear your business is going well man.. that's what's really important!!
