ViPER4ANDROID Working Well? - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Has anyone here got ViPER4ANDROID working correctly? For some reason, it's not working so well for me(e.g: sometimes work, sometimes doesn't). I have heard of ViPER4ANDROID MKM, what is it and how is it different from the original V4A?
Thanks for reading this. Would appreciate it if anyone could answer it.

In my n9300 (HK), yes
Hello.
I use the V4A MKM, and it works well.
I think it uses V4A as a base, and somehow changed.
I'm not an expert, so the better is to go to the dev's post and read it.
As I say, it works well for me, but I had to do some creative action.
First I stoped the soundalive and put the folder on my sdcard.
When I flashed the V4A MKM, installed the drivers and reboot it, the information I got was that the drivers had been installed, but it was not processing.
Indeed, I didn't had any output from V4A MKM. The sound was the same as ever.
What I did:
I flashed the V4A for s7 edge. I tried to install the apk, but couldn't.
After that, I opened the V4A MKM apk, every configuration I had done was in order, and It was processing.
Don't know why, but it worked fine.
Hope this will help

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

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!

Android Q: Viper4android compatible?

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.

Regarding Viper4Android

So, I finally setup RR v8.6.8 and everything seems to be working alright -- got Magisk (still on v22.1) passing SafetyNet and all.
My question here is aimed at getting any recommendations fellow forum users may have for setting up V4A, something which can be tricky sometimes -- e.g., on my PX3, there's at least one module one has to flash beforehand to get everything working smoothly...
As I didn't find any dedicated thread, I'm assuming everything works fine just by flashing the ViPER4Android FX Magisk module and it will disable the ROM's AudioFX; am I mistaken?

do a FULL recovery backup (boot/dtbo/system/vendor/data)
try, and if anything goes wrong = restore
i personally use the rootless driver (install in recovery)
and after reboot i install the apk

The V4A app that installs the Magisk module does not disable AudioFX. I would recommend giving the default way a shot for starters (install the app, give root rights, let it install the module, reboot) and see if it works. If it doesn't, the first step you should try is to enable legacy mode from the settings. If that doesn't work as well, you can try a few troubleshooting steps from here. Good luck!

Question Viper4Android

Anyone get this working yet?

I installed V4A 2.7.2.1 on my P6P and it works fine. I had to use the apk instead of the magisk module version since the module doesn't work for me.
1. Install the V4A apk
2. Open it, grant root and let it install the driver
3. After reboot, replace the V4A post-fs-data.sh with the custom one (I forget where I got it from) and reboot again
4. Configure V4A and done.

where did you override `post-fs-data.sh`??
i could only find the files in this location (by running find -name "post-fs-data.sh" in a root adb shell:

These are the steps I used on my OnePlus 9 and they worked on my 6 Pro as well. Didn't need to mess with any post fs stuff:
1. Install Ainur Narsil in Magisk
2. Install AML in Magisk
3. Install V4A
4. Reboot and should be good (if not, continue to step 5)
5. Disable AML in Magisk (don't uninstall, just disable) and reboot
6. Re-enable AML, reboot and now you should be good

For me, I will try the method with post-fs-data.sh replacement first since it is simple and straightforward. If it doesn't work, I will resort to the above steps. The post-fs-data.sh replacement worked with my OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 8 Pro, Pixel 6 Pro, and Galaxy Tab S7+. However, I had to use the above steps for my OnePlus 9 Pro since the sh script didn't work for this phone.

No worries, you're free to try whatever method you like! I just thought I'd post mine because v4a is very finicky and there's no harm in having multiple methods of trying to get it to work

This is odd. I use Amazon music HD and Viper won't work with that at all but works with Deezer 100%, spotty on Tidal (some songs yes, some no).

Man it's been a long time, but am I crazy or is these available from WITHIN magisk after rooting or do I have to go download these? I haven't rooted since first year I had my OP6 and if I recall correctly magisk modules could be found within magisk and installed from storage if downloaded elsewhere... No I'm concerned I didn't root/ install magisk correctly

No you are not crazy, I just noticed that the canary version of Magisk doesn't seem to the repo inside of the app.
I've attached the necessary files and it seems we may have to rely on GitHub for future updates

Full disclosure: I do not own a pixel 6 pro. But I thought I'd offer a super simple and possibly working fix for V4A on your device. Using my pixel 4a 5g and running A12.. Ive been running the same version of V4A for the last year.. and it worked on A11 and A12. It's simply plug and play. One time flash of the zip, immediately reboot and done. Nothing more is needed. No replacing files. No Ainur. And AML isn't needed either.
Works perfect on my device. Installs 2.5.0.4 (and not 2.7.x). But honestly, it's the same thing for all intents and purposes.
Like I said, in the interests of being totally honest -- I have no clue if it'll work for you. I hope it does. As V4A is essential for the best possible sound. Especially when using headphones.. it transforms my sound from walkman to a Bose when using them. With a few tweaks, it literally feels like I'm at the concert and the music is coming from every different direction. Absolutely indispensable, this app!
Ps... I'm only on your all's forums because I'm super jealous and wanna pretend that I have a p6p. Probably sounds super gay, but I just wanna hold one.
Here's the link to the zip. I haven't seen anyone say that it didn't work for them. Also, the zip says that it's for Android 11. But that's because it came out before 12, and the existing v4as we're only working for Android <10.
If this one doesn't do the trick, I'm guessing it's just 1 step/tweak away from doing so. Lemme know if it works for y'all. Good luck and God bless.

just flash in magisk?

Viper's been so finicky with this device, working on some platforms and others not.
Doesn't work at all with Bluetooth and earbuds for some reason.

Much appreciated, thanks for confirming for me since these days it seems a little more challenging to find info around here than it was a fear years ago. Granted it's also been a while since I've been on a XDA device subforum at release trying to root. After rooting this baby last night though I feel like a noob all over again, seems like the process changes a pretty good amount each time I dive back in with Google trying to make it harder and harder with each major version update.
Edit: oh boy, I still have my cringey post banner from years ago... Yikes.

I can confirm this has worked on my pixel 6 pro, had to go all the way to step 6 but it ultimately worked. Thanks!!
Btw, Does anyone know the folder location for the presets?
Edit: After going through steps 1-6, I also tried uninstalling Ainur Narsil and after rebooting the phone, V4A still works. Just a heads up.
