Dolby Atmos did create a revolution in the industries of movies, games, music, etc. Developing the revolutionary surround sound, Dolby is helping the world tap into a new world of sound.

Without diverting much, we’ll break off How to Get Dolby Atmos Surround Sound on Any Android.

What You Need

This requires us to Flash Rom our device. So before anyone tries to pull this off, it is necessary to get hold of the essentials that you’ll need. These are Android version TWRP and an unlocked bootloader.

  • TWRP

Team Win Recovery Project(TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android devices. They allow you to flash ROM, wipe, recover or backup a device. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and backup the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery image.

  • Unlocked Bootloader

A little bit of advice, unlocking the bootloader voids your device’s warranty. Manufacturers lock the bootloader because they want you to use the OS associated exclusively with the device. However, Custom ROMs can be installed after unlocking the bootloader, giving you access to root and many other administrative advantages. And since we need to flash a file, it is impossible to do so with a locked bootloader.

Steps to Install Dolby Atmos Surround Sound on Your Device

  • Download Dolby Atmos ZIP file: Download the Dolby Atmos APK and Dolby Atmos ZIP file on your device.
  • Boot your device into TWRP: To do this, make sure your device is switched off. Now press and hold down the volume down button, and without releasing it press and hold down the power button until the screen turns on.
  • Flash the ZIP file: Once you navigate to TWRP, choose “Install” and select the ZIP file of Dolby Atmos. Follow the instructions to confirm flash and once the install is complete, reboot the device.
  • Enable Dolby Atmos: After the device reboots, open the Dolby Atmos application. You’ll see a power icon in it, tap it and it will enable the surround sound on your device. You can further customize the equalizer to your needs in the app settings.

Please be aware of the risks involved in unlocking the bootloader and flashing files. There is a possibility of failure on the rarest occasions. It is always advisable to do this in the presence of someone with prior experience. However, this is the most effective way to get surround sound on your device if it doesn’t support it natively.
