Not working here. always asks to install the driver after reboot.
To get it working all I did was root my phone, installed viper4android.
After opening the app it asked to install the drivers I let it, then rebooted
everything worked just fine.
Viper4Android needs your phone to be on Permissive Kernel.
Working!!! Ty everyone will post a link and how-to install guide in my thread

you probably forgot to set your selinux to permissive. download selinux mode changer here on XDA and the u'll be able to install the driver
Anyone know how to get convolver to work with CM 12.1 nightly on z00A?
Hi, can somebody confirm that Viper4android works without issues on the original rom?, i mean by this that after a reboot the app starts itself, as in my case I have to start the app to get its functionality working on my player
Thanks
is viper4android safe? It asks for a lot of permmisons
yeah viper4android is safe i have been running it since my galaxy s3 and never looked backed best app i have ever come across as far as boosting audio quality.
also guys having problems with not hearing any differance i had the same problem at first then i found a thread in general with a modified audio_policy.config file i had to replace with the original one then v4a worked a charm also kernel has to be permissive too so try it again with the modified audio_policy if you gave up because i nearly did
Not really working for me. I did the se permissive then installed v4a then installed driver and reboot. Now I'm using it mainly for Spotify and it works sometimes but then sometimes it will stop working unless I unplug the headphones and plug back in or sometimes it just stop working at all
Download the viper 4 android guitardedhero bought in my Zenfone max working.
I got the HTC 10 not too long ago and I have been really happy with the phone. My only complaint is there isn't a good equalizer for it to work on Bluetooth audio devices.
I've been using Viper4Android for a few years now and haven't ran into many problems with it. My issue now is when I try to install the audio drivers, it prompts me the drivers installed successfully and reboot, but when I reboot, it prompts me to install the drivers again and the driver status says it isn't installed. My phone's bootloader is unlocked and properly rooted, has busybox installed and has SuperSU granted for Viper so I really don't know what is causing this problem.
Is there any way to get Viper audio drivers installed or is there a decent alternativeto it that works on the 10?
Have not tried yet with the 10 but maybe you need to change to permissive and I think you also need a kernel that allows permissive. Any that's what I'm used to with the Nexus 5.

Flash this. Once flashed,you can replace with current version of Viper located in the priv app folder.

Awesome it works like a charm! It even includes the patch where it allows you to use it even if selinux is set to enforcingso you don't have to get a permissive kernel.
I feel what it boils down to is there is probably some sort writing protection to the system that prevents it from being installed by normal means

How did you end up getting it installed? Selinux set to permissive, still couldn't get it to install so I tried this older version but it hangs and won't load, and I can't find the Priv App folder mentioned.
Sorry if it's not quite related, but, what exactly does the application interface install as "drivers?" I need those files to manually install Viper.
Hey!
I try to install ViperFX on my Mi 5s with LOS alike roms but it doesn't work at all. I tried on the latest nougat based roms like RR, viperOS and AICP.
I flashed guitardedhero, changed the audio config in etc folder - enabled: no
I used Magisk to install the mod - enabled: no
I installed the 'fix' apk, changed the audio confg - enabled: no.
Of course I have a root and I have busybox installed but it just keep refusing to work with me.
Please help, I love stock-based roms but the sound quality is like so terrible.
Ok, disclaimer now - the sound on viperOS was pretty god, but it has some issues and last update was pretty long time ago.
Thanks in advance!

Go into viper activate the developer options and disable selinux
Still the same.
I also tried to turned on compatible mode but nothing happened
First flash SuperSU and then flash this file

But will it work with Magisk? I use root hide for some apps
Edit:
Ok, I've tried it on a clean installation. Eh. Still nothing. This time each time viper prompted alert that driver is not installed, each time it installed successfully but after the restart it all started over again
Ok I have the same problem with you and waiting solutions
Try disabling SELinux from viperfx settings (developer mode) and turning on master power (after installing the drivers). Before installing the drivers change audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak in vendor/etc.

Disable SELinux before installing the driver.
You have to disable SELinux to enable ViperFX each reboot.
You can use SELinuxModeChanger to disable SElinux.
I hope that will be helpful.

Ok, I can't check it before the trip but maybe someone else can try it!
Anyone able to get Viper4Android to process? I have it installed through Magisk and it works when first installed but eventually stops. Only way to get it working again is to reboot.
I think it stops when changing output forms. Instead of rebooting fully, try hitting the 3 dots on the top right of the app and hitting exit and then relaunching the app.
I tried that and force closing it. Didn't work but what seems to have fixed it was uninstalling the driver...it then asked for root permission to do that. After a restart everything is working even when changing apps. We'll see if it's permanent or not. Thanks for the reply though.
Try this: uninstall your current module, reboot, and install this apk. It's an unofficial material design 2 viper that auto generates a magisk module when you install it for your device. I got mine working properly.
Thanks, I'll try that. Been having to reboot again.
Well along with the acp and aml modules that method worked. Hopefully this sticks. Thank you for your help!

That's what I have, and it worked at first but not any longer on Pixel 3a.
Are there other modules that should be installed, or can't be, as well?

I only know about that module, and the one from ahrion and Zackptg5 (here).
Have you tried in this module enabling the compatibility mode and reboot?

Compatibility mode was enabled, so I disabled it and now it seems to be working.
Thanks for the hint!
I've been trying to get viper4android working on Android q for quite some time but the module and the app itself does not want work at all. Plus when viper asks you to install the driver from the app it will end up in a bootloop. Has anybody found a temp workround for it?
Device: Pixel 2 XL Android version: Q Beta 3
I'm having a similar issue, only the driver install is asked again upon reboot ;_;
Thats only why i rollback from Q.
Total**** sound without
Ok, got it working on beta 3, using the apk 2.7.1.0 from XDA. It appears to install as a magisk module, along with AML. It didn't work on my first try, then all was good. I need to run it in compatibility mode from the menu. https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx
In android P what version did you use?
Always used the magisk repo version before- I tried this many times on Q, with and without AML, but always got the dreaded install driver dialogue. Also tried SE Linux permissive, but no luck. I've never used the apk before, but am sat here now listening to music quite happily. It's survived a couple of reboots (just checking).

Hm, I just tried that. I downloaded the one off XDA LABS and checked compatibility mode on the app. Still showing up as driver not installed. Viper4Android is literally the key element for my phones such a good module.
Try another reboot?

I just upgraded to Android 10 on my Pixel 2XL and have Viper running now. Download stable 2.7.1.0 from XDA Labs, grant root with Magisk. Check compatibility mode THEN install the driver. Restart, make changes, and then be sure to check "Attach audio effects" in settings once you make your changes.

Ok, here's what you gotta do to get it to work, this is the ONLY method I've had consistently work for me from beta 3-public release(did it an hour ago and worked perfectly)
First, uninstall any viper you have also make sure you completely uninstall audio modification library if you have it installed, not disable, uninstall it and reboot after uninstalling what I've listed.
After you're all booted back up, install viper from labs (link in this thread)(Also, forget about compatibility mode, don't use it) now open viper but do NOT install the driver yet, just open the application then go to magisk and install audio modification library but dont let magisk reboot the phone after it installs. Once installation completed, go back to viper and install the driver and let it reboot. Once booted, go straight to magisk and DISABLE audio modification library (uncheck the box next to it if you dont get what I mean) don't uninstall it. After disabling AML head back to viper and install the driver again. Now once rebooted is the moment of truth, if you open viper and its installed you're obviously done but if it's not installed you have to take this next step: don't install the driver just yet, go to magisk and re-enable AML then back to viper and install the driver. I don't see why this would not work for you guys, I know this isn't the easiest tutorial to follow but make sure you follow it to a T, if you mess any step up you need to start from scratch and uninstall both AML and viper and start again.
Good luck guys and may the audiophile Gods be on your side through this process!

Take a bow good sir, it worked! Had to follow the steps to the end as first time around it didn't work. Now seems to be alright (see attached)
For anyone else wondering, I upgraded from Aug 9.0 build to Q (020) last night by flashing the factory ROM without wipe. Rooted, ads disabled and now ViperFX working. Life is goooood :angel:

By enabling, I meant turning on the master limiter and other settings. I adjusted mine with a nice YouTube track playing in the background and it all worked a treat. Yet to do my Bluetooth earphones though

@1dopewrx05 I followed your mini tutorial to a T and it worked perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to do this, I really appreciate it. Just updated my old faithful to 10 earlier and gonna mess around with some of the neat features. I can't live without Viper, it's essential to me.
