Does it have user interface.. I flash dolby 21 but I can't see user interface
How the lib patching is done?
After reading that xpirt patched the S9 lib so that the lib only need 2 additional lines and doesn't require edits to the device's original properties lines, which might complicate things. I looked into the Dolby libraries and learned how it is done.
Samsung added additional verification so that the effect only works in S9 and S9+, and the libs verify this by checking the properties in build.prop.
So to workaround this, in previous version we edited the build.prop lines to make the libs think that the device is S9/+, but this might complicate things as other applications might read the build.prop too.
A better way is to change how the verification works, by hex-editing some lines in the Dolby library files.
Instead of looking for:
it now looks for:
Sometimes it is important to maintain the same string length thus same file size, but I'm not sure if this has to be the case here.
/system/lib/soundfx/libswdap.so
/system/lib64/soundfx/libswdap.so

This thread is for Dolby only, you might have to look elsewhere for that mod.
You are right, updating now.
Thanks for that!
I installed the latest version (1.4) with SoundAlive 8.021. Just to be sure: SoundAlive has no user interface and doesn't appear in the app tray. Is this true?
I know it's installed because it appears in Titanium Backup.
Anyway, the quality is amazing! Thanks for doing it!

Are you using a Samsung phone?
The 'quality' you are hearing now might be a placebo effect, as it doesn't activate by itself, you have to go in and enable it.
SoundAlive doesnt have an icon but you can enter that interface via audio effect button of a music player or via statusbar tile.
Sound became too low both on speakers as well as headphones after flashing v1.4 even with dolby off
I don't see a quick tile for SoundAlive and I don't use the Samsung music player, but I do see a quick tile for Dolby Atmos. Clicking on it brings up this interface (see screenshot). Am I missing something?
I'll wait for more report regarding this.
If switching between Music and Movie makes a significant difference then it works.
You can try the pm enable stuff in first page to have the UHQ tile enabled too.
That's what I see with UHQ. Does it mean that everything is installed correctly? Maybe you can add some confirmation of correct installation in the next version.
