ViPER4Android driver install failed - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else tried to install ViPER4Android and have it fail when installing the driver? The error I get says it fails due to improper busy box install or I'm not completely rooted.
I can attest that I'm fully rooted and busy box is installed properly. I've reinstalled supersu, busy box and re rooted to no avail.

same here. my 8.4 has this exact same problem. ugh. this sucks.

Same trouble here on my 10.5… b*llsh*t..
works for me on S2, S3, S4, S5 and Galaxy Note 10.1, but not on Tab S?
Can anyone help, plz?

After installing TWRP, I decided to flash another audio mod called elements of fidelity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765331
And after flashing that viper's driver miraculously installed!
I didn't get a chance to thoroughly look into why we are originally having so many problems installing it on the tab s but I suspect it's because we are missing an audio*. Conf file that it tries to edit but cannot be found.

V4A made startling improvement to my Nexus 10 speakers, did it do the same with the Tab S's speakers? I only use V4A's to increase the gain with my head set once I bought quality headphones.
Hopefully we'll post your findings in the main V4A XDA thread so they can improve the V4A install base for all Tab S users.

In which folder must the audio*. conf be saved an what is her full name.
It's a little chance to save an empty file here?! And install V4A after that?

I'm on vacation and will be out of the country until the end of the week.
When I get home I will go through logs and see what exactly was happening.

Can you increase volume level much with Viper? One if my complaints with my 10.5 is the volume.... very low in my opinion.

Any further update on this? I miss viper audio!

I got the same issue as you guys.
Did anyone contact the devs in the meantime on viper4android and does somebody know if they are working on a fix?

OK all I have a fix for installing Viper on the Tab S.
Use any file explorer and navigate to /system/vendor/etc
Copy the audio_effects.conf in that location
Navigate to /system/etc and paste the file you copied there
Once copied change the permissions to match the other files in the /system/etc folder
Install Viper and it should work this time, apparently the audio.effects.conf file is expected to be in the /system/etc location and is not there by default for some reason....
For advanced users I suppose you could just create a symlink to the other location also but I didn't try this myself.
let me know if this works for everybody else, so far it has worked on both of my Tab's
Make sure to cruise by the Viper thread and thank metaljim also as he gave me the initial help which headed me in the direction of adding the file to system etc.

You Sir, are awesome. It's finally working and totally worth it. It's just incredible how much it enhances a tablet.

Stock lock/unlock sound

Hello all,
I really like the stock lock/unlock sound of an AOKP/AOSP lock sound. I was just wondering how I can extract it from task's AOKP build and apply it to other roms?
Thanks!
Thawte
Go to /system/media/audio/ui and get Lock and Unlock.ogg
replace in other ROMS.
Feel free to hit the thanks
Well I hit thanks because I was wondering the same thing! Thank you for the answer!

Thank you very much. I am going to work on this. I love the stock click sound ;p
Just wanted to add one more thing... Make sure to reboot after changing sound files because they are cached in the system :laugh:
I recently replaced the stock Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg with custom files (iphone clicks) using Root Explorer. I saved the original files, just renaming them. Neither of my new sounds worked. Rebooted, powered down, still no lock/unlock sounds.
On top of not getting my replacement files to work, the stock sounds didn't work when I renamed them back to "Lock.ogg" and "Unlock.ogg" respectively. I'm a total noob just wandering in the wilderness. Any suggestions?
Quick question on this subject. I want to add the "swoosh" sound(iPhone mail sent sound) to my SGSIII. After i root my phone, how do i get that sound into the phone's notification system? Thanks for any help you can give to an absolute noobie.

Go to a file manager (root explorer, ES), find the ogg files you moved to system/media/audio/ui and change permissions of those files to rw-r--r-- then reboot and it should work fine.

Thanks for the reply, mbrian27. The permissions of the files are already set to rw-r--r--.
I'm using a custom ROM (CSROM), if that makes a difference.
Well, it gets stranger. I woke up this morning to discover that the unlock sound still does not work, but the lock sound works (These are the original sounds which I renamed briefly). Also, upon locking the device the lock sound plays twice.
I didn't perform a reboot or power down. The sound just started working by itself overnight.

[Q] stock settings apk missing

So I recently rooted my Note 2 anddddd a few days after playing around with it (without a backup...i know...dumb me.) I am missing the settings apk so, in turn, I can't access my settings. Any one know how I can fix?
Thanks!

Backup your data, full wipe, reflash a stock rom. Unless someone can get you a stock titaniumbackup for the apk (which I dont even know is possible) you are out of luck I believe.
Another thing to check is to open up a stock rom's system/app folder on your computer and find the settings apk, maybe you can copy and past it into your directory with a file manager (es file manager if you need one). I've got nothing better to do right now so I will try it.
Edit: Too many settings apks. You've got to find the missing one
The second options should do it...:thumbup:
Thanks guys. Went with the first option. My next root run will come with many backups. Thanks!

[Request] Secret Flag Modified Google Search Apk

Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-enable-voice-prompt-in-search-results-video/
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits
Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)
I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.
If someone have the source of google now apk i can do something
I don't know if it's available, or also can be made from decompiling and recompile

you dont need to import to eclipse, all you do is just decompile it and change false to true.
you're making it so complicated on your part. i already did it, going to test it now it literally takes 30-45 seconds to do.

Yes but i was in the company desktop and here i don't have acess to apktool just because my company restricts the download site as dev host rapid share etc. now at home i had decompiled changed from false to true and recompiled and signed etc etc.. so i tested and the behaviour is the same are you guys sure that it's only change to do?! i think i had all perfect if you want i can upload the "modded apk"
EDIT: it doesn't work i don't know why here is the decompiled files and its true, i recompile sign and check manifest and all ok, but after install the behavior its the same

I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

OK. So I didn't have any files in data/app so I went ahead and just made quixksearchbox a .bak, and pushed new one after renaming it and setting permissions. Its working great.

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).
It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.

[Q] Camera not working

Hey gus,
today my Camera suddenly stopped working properly. When i try to use dual mode or start taking a video, the app suddenly crashes.
I already tried a factory reset. After that I could not even find the app installed, it disappeared. When I reinstalled it (backuped the apk before reset) I got the same issue: dual mode and videos not working. The phone was rooted and I used the camera mod that sets the 1080p framerate to to 60 fps, but the camera worked properly until today. In addition to that the media profiles xml should be original again since I did a factory reset, so this should not be the problem.
Anyone pls help me.
Maybe someone can upload his/her camera files so I can try installing another apk? Its possible I got a damaged apk or so..
When you change something in protected area i.e. system you change it for good. No matter how many factory resets you do it would stay the same. Applying camera mod involved modifying mediaprofile.xml that is in system/etc folder. Only way to fix it would be to grab the stock mediaprofile.xml and put it back in the system/etc folder.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I guess I'm not the only one having issue with the camera mods. I changed framerate to 1080p60, but got worse results and the phone got stuck on the boot screen. Had to use the flashtool to go back to stock. If your phone boots, restore the xml as previously mentioned. Im curious, which version of the G3 do you have?
Thanks for your answers
@enaybee: could you please upload your original file? I just dud a backup of the apk, forgot the media profiles.

Thanks man, now I just need to reinstall it as a system app, can you explain what i have to do? I put it in the priv-apps folder and etc folder, rebooted, but nothing happened
Just grab the mediaprofile.xml and place it inside /system/etc directory with the help of any file explorer that gives you access to system folder (requires root) like root explorer or es explorer. Make sure stock file replaces the modified file. Reboot and that should take care of the issue if it was only caused by the mod.

Yeah. The whole caboose
But this is specifically for ES
IT Does everything as expected, just getting stuck on opening .apk files
See now, the problem there is that es file explorer will hand the apk over to the apk installer of the os. If it isnt getting that far then try clearing the defaults (autorun!! , NOT CACHE) for es or the entire os if that doesn't work.
Let me know..
