Installing sound mods like Viper4fx and Dolby Atmos increases sound quality and bass by a good percentage. If you have a non rooted phone you will get 5 out of 10 for sound quality. If you have a rooted device then you will get 8 out of 10 after installing sound mods.

Is there any way to get Dolby Atmos on a rooted LG-D500 version 4.1.2?

Hi, so I recently got a new device (a galaxy S8) and didn’t want to root it in order to get the Atmos experience, so I followed your steps for the unrooted way of doing it, but I ran into a problem, I already have the Google Music app since I use the monthly subscription, so I just installed the Dolby app and restarted my device, but I couldn’t get it to work, I made sure to put the equalizer on “Normal” mode since there doesn’t seem to be an option to disable it. Did I do it right? If not, I’d like your assistance on solving this. Thanks in advance.
You have tried the non-root method, the Dolby Atmos apk will increase and improve the sound. However, you can’t adjust or customize the sound like the rooted method. Once disable the Dolby equalizer from google play, then re-enable it and see the difference. If you want that fully featured Dolby Atmos like Lenovo devices then you need to root your Android phone.
It’s not working
Can you elaborate what’s the error you are facing?
My mobile is lenovo a1000 how install dollby atom my phone
Please follow above steps carefully, if you are facing any issues then let me know.

gm 5 plus i did all steps but dolby stops working rooted phone btw
You said stops working means it was working fine? If it was fine and causing issues now then uninstall it and reinstall it will solve the issue.
Thanks for this great tip Jitender!
I’m using a smartphone called Sugar that came bundled with 2 players: Google’s Play Music and the phone’s stock Music. On Play Music the Dolby activation option in Settings > Equalizer > “Complete actions using… [Dolby]”; on Music it couldn’t be found anywhere save for a window that confirms its activation and I could actually hear a big difference in the sound when playing after installation. Thumbs up man! Keep up the good work!
Your support motivates me to work more and more for the lovely readers like you. Glad you found it useful. 🙂

Have you installed it after that it’s giving this error?
Hai Jitender, i following step by step installing with root device till end and noting problem. After finished I try to playing music but noting different from before. And I don’t see the Dolby application.
