Stops and starts (if using other apps)
Hi!
I found the version you link to earlier, and it installs fine on my LG N 5X. Works well. The version of the software states 2.5.0.5 but the driver 2.5.0.4 but I guess that is how it is mean to be for the time being.
I have a weird little bug and perhaps someone can help me (7.1.2 std Google rom rooted through TWRP):
It usually works but sometimes the EQ chokes playing the sound unfiltered, and jumps back into EQ again (EQ starts again). Seldom but it happens I have to "go into Viper4Android" for it to start the EQ again.
I usually play through BT (headsets).
Anyone with this error? I thought perhaps it crashes with soundabout or something but have tried to disable it.
Thanks for any help!

Is Viper4Android FX working with a rooted G4?

Hello.
after successfully rooting my G4 and installing busybox.. I have also installed V4A. however, after installing the drivers, I can't get them to actually work.. (driver status shows unsupported and abnormal.)
anyone knows if V4A works with the G4? and if so, how did you get it to work?
thanks!

You need to set kernel to permissive. Selinux switcher apps will correct your issue.
I set to permissive installed v4a of viper and used awesome player instead of nu player. Yet changing eq doesnt do anything

TUrn off any EQs that you may have on in your music player.
And if you go into the settings menu > Driver status > What do you see here?
After setting to permissive you should get a different message at the bottom when you access V4A compared to when you didn't have it (If you kept note)
Here is a great guide how to make it work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/to-root-apps-t3165390/post62107040#post62107040
In addition to the above, I had to force enable V4A and switch to FX compatible mode to get Spotify to work. My other apps worked without those changes.
About gave up for months, then it clicked in my mind when i saw a post mention to make sure all other audio apps redirect eq to viper, and if not, change them. Even if you dont use a certain audio player app, change it too.
Problem is, i could not get the lg music app (which i never use) to change the equalizer to viper, it just had it's own default settings, so i ignored it. So i decided to revisit the lg app, and froze the app with link2sd, i also froze the lg video app too, just in case. Rebooted and now viper sees NEON and i can even run without compatibility mode (which did not work consistantly for me) .
I tried all steps to get this to work, not sure what other things are needed for everyone else, but i tried moving viper to system, installed selinuxmodechanger, maybe this can be uninstalled now, i have no idea. I have no plans to fix what isnt broken and find out myself, so just try freezing lg music app for starters.
Hope it works for you, if so, let the community know what steps you had to do!

Weird problem with stock music player and Viper4Android.

Hey all.
I have a weird problem with Viper4Android and the stock music player. The stock player does what I need it to, so I'd like to continue using it. However, every time I shut it down, Viper stops working. To get Viper working again, I have to run the "Power & Boost" app in the phone, release some memory, then go back into the music player, and open the EQ, then Viper kicks in again. Is there a way to get Viper to stay on? I've tried the Force start in Viper to no avail, and tried in SuperSU to get Viper to start on Audio. Should I set it to system in SuperSU, or is there another method to get it to start up when I use the music app? It's more annoying than anything, because I can get it to work, but it would be nice if it just kicked in. I've updated Viper to the latest using the "Check for Updates" in Viper, and installed the .apk, but nothing has worked so far.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
So, I've tried a few things, and bricked the phone in the process. Luckily, I was able to sideload the stock firmware back on. What I did was put the V4A app in both the app, and priv-app folders, and the phone bricked. Right now, I have to force stop V4A, then go into the EQ to restart it, before it works. I've used Titanium to freeze MusicEQ, so that's not the problem, and I can't change the permissions on V4A, which is currently installed on the SDCard of the phone.
Okay, so I think I've figured it out on my own. First thing was to delete the stock MusicFX app using Titanium Backup. You could probably freeze it, but I deleted it. Anyways, the problem lied where you disconnect and reconnect the headphones. So, to remedy this, set it to force app on V4A, and set V4A to compatible mode, and reboot the phone. Now, no matter how many times I disconnect the headphones and reconnect them, V4A works right away, without having to go into the Apps setting and force stopping it. Hope that helps someone with similar problems.
Dont use the Stock Music Player's EQ. or disable audio wizard. ( read that somwhere in the forums)

Mine got BT device error after flashed arise.
No sound on BT and op3 confused when connected.
If you guys wanna try then try.
I found this solution in some thread. You need custom recovery and rooted device. I have stock, but this also worked for me when I had Resurrection and Freedom ROMs. This is a systemless install. No problems whatsoever with microphone in any app.
1. Install Busybox. Then install the directories into /bin and /xbin.
2. Open the Viper Fix apk. Click apply fix, it will ask you for root permission. (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905720548)
3. Reboot into recovery. Flash the V4A_v2 zip* (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905720547)
4. Once rebooted, open the V4A app and install the drivers. Will ask you for root.
5. Reboot and enjoy.
*The zip file removes audio fx and previous versions of v4a if you have any, and is systemless. it will also clear cache and davlink and reboot so its really simple. also, you don't need to change SE permissions, this zip works with both equally the same
Cheers.

I had the same issue, do you by any change install it together with Dolby Atmos? I use ARISE Leviticus and noticed that the version of Dolby Atmos there breaks BT for me, but uninstalling DA via Titanium and then flashing latest DA, version R6.5, solves it for me (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446).
It's a bit cumbersome but I got it to work by:
1. Flash ARISE package through Recovery
2. Boot up and uninstall DA via Titanium
3. Flash DA via recovery

Issues with V4A

Good day everyone,
First and foremost, I was not sure about where to post, in the venom thread, Magisk or V4A. Also, did not find any prior posts regarding my issue.
I am running the latest version of version of VenomRom with stock kernel. No mods except some downloaded from the Magisk app.
My issue is that whenever I'm playing music on my phone, the equalizer would randomly (and very often) cut off and the music would go flat and sound horrible, Regardless of if it's speaker or the headphones are plugged in. I've tried many things to fix this but I'm starting to believe it's not me. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you.

You're using the V4A app in the repo, correct? (AKA in the download section of Magisk Manager) The one where you must install the V4A app manually.
Try white listing it from Doze, go into your battery settings and finding the V4A app. You need to pick "Do not optimize" and it should leave it be.
If you have App Systemizer, making the V4A app into a system app may also help.
Alternatively, you could use ViPER-FX which has its own app and puts it directly in the system. If you choose this, make sure NOT to download the version in the OP as it is outdated. Here is the updated one. I personally use this one without issue.
Thats pretty weird. I'm running the current Venom rom and V4A and haven't had any issues.
Maybe try deleting everything and do a fresh install?
Or I think there are some mods you can look into on the Magisk app, maybe try Audio Modification Library?
Thank you for the replies. I actually tried optimizing the app. That didn't work. I started with a fresh install so i'm not interesting in wiping again. I will try installing viper-fx as a system app and report back.

Are you using high res audio output? I had issues with Viper with that.

Install busybox and then try to install driver
Hope it works
I was happy and did not know. It was perfect my viper4fx there magisk suggested an update to version 1.7.5 unfortunately I lost the equalizer, it did not work anymore. I installed busybox, drivers, dozens of times, backed up the versions, nothing. Damn update, I think I'll have to format. I'm sad.
Go into the App, then close it with the exit button in the menu. Then restart the App.
That's works for me.

I have the same issue. Now I use V4A from the XDA store and just install viper manually. It always works. It also shows up as a magisk module, and it works just fine with AML.
Also, if you want to use the magisk repo V4A FX by zackptg5, it doesn't seem to work on oreo but it works great on pie.
