This thread is mainly for EXYNOS variant ONLY, some discussion about other variant is fine, but please keep in mind that I'm using an Exynos version and have no experience with SafeTrap/how Snapdragon version works.

Quote: The FIRST standalone Samsung SoundAlive Dolby Atmos zip installer featured on XDA Portal, 17 July 2018 .

Installation

Please note that the installer will not backup your current system files, it will just overwrite them directly.

It is recommended that you backup your current setup before you flash the zip.

It is also recommended that you restore your system's original files every time before you install an updated version of the libs installer.

If you just want to update/enable Dolby Atmos without upgrading your SoundAlive app, you may flash the Dolby Atmos Libs installer only without flashing the SoundAlive apk zip.

You should still get Dolby Atmos enabled, just that some new functions might be missing from your pre stone age SoundAlive app, eg: Game Mode

Uninstall SoundAlive updates in Settings Install System app remover[ROOT] to uninstall SoundAlive Flash SoundAlive installer zip

Post a clear screenshot/txt content of the logcat Tell me what device are you using, which processor it uses and what Android version it runs Give me some info about the ROM that you are using, like a link and a brief description about what the ROM based on. *If you use some heavily modded ROM that modified the audio in any way (random audio mods, viper, etc), please keep in mind that they might not be compatible with my mod, I don't use nor I will try those mods and thus I won't be able to help.

*Please note that I won't be replying to questions in PM, questions in this thread without sufficient information will also be ignored.
