What mods are you using?

[c_tho]

historically i've waited a little longer to leap into root/mods but root was available so quickly i couldn't resist.

i've got:

• swift installer to make everything black
• viper to sort out the middling audio performance
• youtube vanced
• edge sense plus, to remap:
  • single squeeze to start/stop music
  • long squeeze to turn flashlight on/off.

runnning action launcher and via browser.

interest to hear what everyone's modding approach has been!

bummer about swift installer, it is superb, so much more powerful than substratum. i wonder why?

idk tbh. it was just greyed out. i figured it may be because it wasnt updated for the new magisk installer. so i figured i could update it for it....... the mod is nothing, like there is nothing in it, even on the github for it. it was just the template that in a couple places they made it say swift installer.

Pardon my ignorance but what's the difference between swift installer magisk mod and the app I can download via the play store?

The app should prompt you to install the Magisk mod on first use. It is supposed to make it work better. But after looking at the actual mod, I don't see how it is doing anything

I gotten my Pixel 3a XL now and I quickly unlocked it and installed Magisk.

I already use these mods on my current phones: Viper4Android, Youtube Vanced, Advanced Charging Controller, iOS Emoji, systemless host with Ad Away app. I'll also be checking out Edge Sense Plus as if seems like a great tool to customize this (new to me) feature.

Other "root" apps that I use regularly - Tasker (and various related apps like secure settings), Titanium Backup, Terminal Emulator.

EDIT - I've done all of this now and really like the Edge Sense Plus app. One thing I did was I added a single squeeze to take a picture when I'm in the camera app. This is so simple, but makes it much easier to take pictures with one hand - no more finger gymnastics trying to press the shutter button while trying not to drop the phone!

yeah i must say i had forgotten all about the magisk mod before reading this. i had it installed on my last device, haven't got it on this one, doesn't seem to make any difference. shrug

What's the difference with the Swift Dark Substratum app?

you don't need to use substratum, and you can choose the colour and accent for every app. handful of screenshots attached.

I see so it does the same as the swift substratum theme but without the need of substratum. What's the advantages of doing this? Thanks

really only that is applies a unified custom accent colour to every app it themes, and also, i suppose, that you can use whatever background colour you like (if straight black is not your thing (which would be crazy cos black looks so good on this screen)). and i guess that you don't have to use substratum, which i find quite an annoying app to use.

What settings did you apply on Viper?

i actually only use the EQ (what kind of device doesn't have an EQ built in??!) and the Viper Clarity features. the EQ is self-explanatory and the clarity adds, well, clarity (now sure how really but it sounds great).

Same here! Fire-Equalizer only. Try out my tuning and let me know what you think. I tried to preserve the phone speakers natural sound while adjusting areas that needed a little extra without going overboard.

Anyone else tried Viper on Bluetooth output yet? It's not working for me.

Any tips? Tried compatibility mode, and several EQ presets as well as a massive gain drop. Nothing changed.

Working for me. Im using the viper apk
I believe you'll need the audio compatibility patch and theAudiomodification library. Those modules to make it work

Installed V4FX via Magisk? Hmm... I wonder what could be wrong.

The way I did it as I installed the viper 2.7 APK it'll ask you call to install driver then reboot. Then going to magisk and installed the audio compatibility patch. And the library.

Well that's frustrating. I'm at a total loss as to what the problem could be.

I just duplicated your process, though I installed the Viper APK via Magisk, then the driver, reboot, install library and patch, reboot.

I don't think any effects whatsoever are happening, on any output. I can't tell any difference at all on stuff that should be blatantly obvious (eg. high treble, 40dB drop in gain, etc).

I tested the effects using both YouTube and iHeartRadio
