Nexus 7 (2013) + Viper4Android - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello folks,
since I'm a new user on these forums I can't post my question directly to the Viper4Android-thread, so I have to do it here.
I recently purchased a Nexus-7-tablet (2013-version) and can't get Viper4Android to actually work.
I can start it, the driver-installation was fine, but the Equalizer is just not doing anything.
Is there anything I missed? Maybe there isn't any compatibility for my device?
The hell I know
Could anyone please help me out?

Hi, thanks for answering first.
I can't post to the official thread for now since I'm missing the minimum number of posts.
-FX version 2.3.0.1
-Stock Rom (Bootloader unlocked/Root)
Poweramp seems to be a music player app? That's not the reason why I want to use Viper4Android. I mainly use my Nexus with MxPlayer and Spotify.

I still in need of some help

When you are playing music what does it show under status?

Have you tried changing to compatibility mode or safe mode? Is your SupserSU up to date?
Also, in the main thread, most people can't get it to work on Spotify, and there are still a few issues getting it to work on 4.3

What should it show? Everything is normal apart from "processing = no".

Yep. I also switched to Cyanogenmod and it's not working on 4.4.2 and/or Spotify. I can't verify your statement regarding "most people can't get this too work too".

Try changing this line lpa.decode=true*to*lpa.decode=false in build.prop, and reboot. This seems to be a workaround for CM users

Hi guys,
I recently bought Nexus 7 2013 and i have installed VIperdandroid. It works awesome when i listen to songs from Play music but when i watch any movie there is no sound effects that i get while listening to music. I have used BS player and now MX player but still couldn't find an improvement Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

For me V4A only works with Poweramp and Soumi music player. HTC Sensation with most applications running on 4.1.2 JB. I do not know if it's a matter of KitKat or lack of ability to edit build.prop.

I noticed there are quite a few apps that Viper4Android don't work with too. It's great when it does work though.

CM 11 Nightly
I have a LTE Nexus 7 2013, it is running CM version 11-20140813-NIGHTLY-deb. I have the latest version of Viper4android installed. Viper works for Google play music, but i cannot get it to work for Sirius or iHeart Radio.
Under driver status
Driver version: 2.3.3.0
NEON Enabled: yes
Enabled: Yes
Status: Normal
Audio format: Supported
Processing: No
Sample Rate: 48000
I also have a Nexus 5 and viper4android works just fine on all apps
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the driver, changed from Normal mode to Compatible mode then rebooted.
I have tried to Force Enable V4A then reboot not change.
Is this app compatible with the Nexus 7 2013 LTE or it the ROM CM 11-20140813-NIGHTLY-deb ROM?

You can just download the APK from the XBMC website and install it on the tab. It works fine on the G Pad, however unless your hooking it up to a TV via a dock or MHL adapter, your best sticking with a basic media player for playing files on the tab itself.
I can't post links yet but Google 'XBMX Android' and it's the first link!
yes you can workni great so far!

With a decent internet connection, XBMC works very well on the stock rom or with the Malladus custom rom.It doesn't work with any of the Kit Kat-based custom roms currently available. Which is why I can't use the latter.
The best results I've obtained have been with the XAF build of XBMC. This is the version that automatically uses MX Player to play back video. It's free from many of the issues that can affect playback using XBMC's native player.
1. You install MX Player (free version) from the Play Store and run it once. Go to settings/decoder and check H/W + (for smooth hardware acceleration).
2. You install the XAF build of XBMC, which used to be found here, thanks to a developer. I think the link still works.
http://goo.im/devs/kemonine/xbmc/xbmc-frodo-12.1-xaf-neon-set_top-20130503-47b0a23c60.apk
3. Search any recent on-line guide to how to set up XBMC add-ons, especially from XBMChub and Xunity. What is available will amaze you.

Great, glad you're getting on ok with 12.3.
I should clarify: none of the XBMC Frodo builds, including 12.3, is hardware accelerated. For the smooth playback of all true HD video, you need that. That's why I use the XAF build, because it relies on MX player and its superb hardware acceleration. That combo can handle just about any type of streamed video.

Play Movies & TV ( Playback isn't supported on this device)

Hey I just rooted my Nexus 7 and installed Paranoid Android 4 Beta3 and everything is running amazingly. The only Issue im having is Play Movies & TV wont load any of my purchases! It just says "Playback isn't supported on this device". I know alot of people will say if you are rooted then you cannot playback movies on Google play movies but I don't think this is true because my phone is rooted and has a custom rom and I can load all my movies and shows just fine?! I'm on the stock kernel as well? any way around this?
Perhaps a different rom or a gapps package?
I have even used the disable super user option in SuperSU app... It works for flixster but not Google play movies
Well I flashed a CM rom and everything seems to work fine now!? So I guess ill just stay on that for now?

You answered your own question. It might be something about PA's setup, maybe changeable or maybe not, that makes Play think your tablet isn't compatible. I run a custom 4.1 on another tablet that the Play Store thinks isn't compatible with a few games, yet I can sideload them just fine.

Ya I figured!!! And Nice!!! Ya I just unrooted / went back to stock! Dont see that much of a point to root a nexus device, unless you want all those awesome Paranoid Android features like Halo, Pie, and Hybrid mode! Which most 4.4.2 roms dont even have because they have to re-implement them all gradually over time!

[Q] Latest Netflix App Issue

Hello e-980 users,
I'm trying to execute latest Netflix 3.6.1 app on my e-980, and I see split video. Has anyone else faced the same issue?
Could anyone of you please upload the apk who could view the video properly?
I'm on CM 11 and have not logged in to Google, so has no access to Play Store.
Thanks in advance!
I also have the issue. I am unaware if it is because of the app, or the update itself. It's been broken since 4.4.2. Currently running 4.4.4 and the issues still persists. I assume it is an issue with KK itself, as many people have reported similar issues in other apps.
Hopefully it'll be worked out soon. At least YouTube still works.

Sounds like you might be using a cracked version? This is likely the issue. Probably nothing to do with Zenfone 2. Not saying this is absolutely the case, just best guess.

Yeah i was using a cracked apk i found on net.... I deleted the cracked version and download the apk from playstore... Works well no problem at all... but one question why didnt the cracked apk work? I have root and the apk worked well on other phones as well...
Because the Play Store knows what kind of device you have, in this case an x86 architecture device and not ARM, and downloads to you the appropriate version of the app. The cracked apk you found is very much certain that it is for ARM devices as these are the most common.

ARM byte code works on x86 too, otherwise many apps wouldn't work. I thought that was the case, but the day I forgot to change the target architecture on my Unity Editor I found that out.
However, native code might have to be compiled to these target architectures... but I'm not sure. I've yet to learn that kind of stuff about Android.
EDIT: I just found out: Android has this thing called Houdini, which translates ARM instructions to x86 and makes almost everything work completely fine. However, there could be some extremely rare cases were that might not work... it could be the case here.
Just... avoid cracked stuff. It hurts the developer, in the best of cases. It could harm you, in the worst. How do you think crackers devote time to cracking apps? I personally know that it is what happens on desktop land, and I'm pretty sure I've heard a couple of cases on Android.

AFAIK no. The Houdini Binary Translator is almost at kernel level, as you can see in the attached picture. There are specific x86 libraries, though, which are used by x86 compiled applications.

Problem solved.
I choosed to install apk as a system app with Lucky Patcher (Rebuild & Install -> choosing apk path -> Install as a System App). After that I rebooted phone and then installed apk normally without Lucky Patcher.
Do not know why I was unable to install it before. My phone is rooted with Xposed framework. I cleared system and Dalvik cache but installation of MX Player still failed. Problem was only with MX player installation.
Hope this informations will be useful for someone.

Need help with vlc on my pixel XL (hardware acceleration issue)

Hey all have a og pixel XL it's unlocked and rooted either stock kernel December update (8.1) I use vlc at work to watch and listen to downloaded videos I've been using it for months now with no issues. Now I recently noticed that all my videos stutter and hitch . I though it was because I went for 8.0 to 8.1 so I went back and it was still happening (even though in the past I had no issues)
Only way I can fix this is to disable hardware acceleration in vlc settings. But doing thumis makes my device warm and sucks battery (being that it's decoding HD video via software) this is driving me nuts. How can I fix this?
I downloaded the device driver binaries from Google but no idea how to install it. I though I could make sure they are all up to date but not sure how to go about that.

Has VLC been updated recently? it sounds like if it's happening on 8.0 and 8.1 and wasn't happening before ... it's likely an issue with the app itself and not the OS.

No, do NOT do that. that's not what those drivers are for - they are for developers, not end-users.
your firmware contains the drivers that you should be using / built for your firmware.

i could not find a past version of the app. well i did on apkmirror but the only non beta past app was from nov 28th i was looking for one from like october but only found beta versions. tried one of them. still doing it. i think it has something to do with 8.1. i would do a back up with twrp and just do a fresh install of 8.0 and see if it happens again but last time i tried making a twrp back up restoring from it failed.
You can download the older builds from the vlc website:

i think i found the issue. i use the app arktube to download youtube videos the night before i go into work so i can listen and watch while on shift. in the app there is a setting to allow to download VP9 version of videos and i had it selected for some reason. those videos are the ones that are stuttering unless i disable hardware acceleration.
would you be able to test to see if VP9 content stutters on your pixel? the video i had was 2560x1440P VP9 youtube video here is the video i downloaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33OZFYN_cQw&index=22&list=PL8mG-RkN2uTyuEutQa79RZ0Q5u5gteUci
i just got done flashing 7.1.2 and 8.0 with different versions of VLC each and still had the issues so i guess its because of VP9. which makes no sense being that i can view it fine from the youtube app at that setting but cant if i download it and play it via vlc?
