Prerequisites
Before you start installing Dolby Atmos on your Android device, there are a few things you need to prepare. The steps you’ll follow will depend on whether your phone is rooted or not. Rooted devices offer more features, but even non-rooted phones can enjoy the benefits of Dolby Atmos.
Compatibility
Most Android devices can run Dolby Atmos, but the exact features may vary based on the Android version and phone model. Some phones, like the OnePlus 7, 8, and 9 series, have specific methods, especially if you’re using a rooted device. Make sure you know your phone’s setup.
Required Downloads:
- Dolby Atmos APK for non-root devices
- Dolby Atmos ZIP for rooted devices
- TWRP Recovery
- Magisk for rooted devices
Install Dolby Atmos on Rooted Devices
If your device is rooted, you can fully integrate Dolby Atmos with your phone’s sound system. This method will give you more control over sound quality and equalizer settings.
Ever wondered how much better your music can sound with the right setup? If you’ve rooted your phone, installing Dolby Atmos is the way to go.
Download Required Files
You’ll need to download both the Dolby Atmos ZIP file and TWRP Recovery if you haven’t installed it already. If Magisk isn’t on your phone yet, grab that too.
Boot Into TWRP Recovery
Now, restart your phone and boot into TWRP recovery mode. To do this, turn off your phone, and press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons together. Keep holding until you see the TWRP screen. From here, you’re ready to install Dolby Atmos.
Flash the Dolby Atmos ZIP File
In TWRP, select the Install option and find the Dolby Atmos ZIP file you downloaded. Once selected, swipe to confirm the installation. The process only takes a few seconds. Once completed, you should see a message confirming the success of the flash.
Reboot and Check Installation
Once you’ve flashed the file, reboot your phone by selecting Reboot System. After your phone restarts, check your app list—you should now see the Dolby Atmos app. Open it, and you can start adjusting the sound settings to your liking.
Install Dolby Atmos on Non-Rooted Devices
Not everyone wants to root their phone, and that’s okay! You can still enjoy the benefits of Dolby Atmos without taking that extra step. While the features are more basic, it still improves the overall sound quality.
Download Dolby Atmos APK
First, download the Dolby Atmos APK file for non-rooted devices. This is the latest version that works for most Android devices without needing root access.
Enable “Unknown Sources”
Before installing, go to Settings > Security, and turn on the option for “Unknown Sources.” This allows you to install apps that aren’t from the Google Play Store, which is necessary for Dolby Atmos.
Install Dolby Atmos APK
Next, open the downloaded APK file using your file manager. You’ll be prompted to install the app—just follow the on-screen instructions. It’s a quick process, and once done, you’re ready to go.
Open and Use Dolby Atmos
After installation, open the Dolby Atmos app from your app drawer. Even though this version is a bit simpler than the rooted version, you’ll still notice a big improvement in your phone’s sound quality. Adjust the settings to find what sounds best for you.
Getting Dolby Atmos on your Android device is one of the easiest ways to improve your phone’s sound experience, whether you’re a rooted user or not. Rooted users can dive into advanced sound settings, but even non-rooted phones can get a noticeable audio boost. Ready to give it a try? Follow these steps and enjoy better sound in no time.
