Unsupported Rom/Kernel
Kernel:
- Stock
- Jolla
ROM:
F.A.Q.
Q: Spotify isn't working with that
A: Force enable Viper4Android and turn FX Mode to compatible. Then restart both applications.
Q: Why ElementalX Kernel?
A: That's the only Kernel who works with Viper except Stock kernel. Elite Kernel may also work but it hasent been updated since the Dev Previews.
Q: Is that also working with the stock rom?
A: Yup. Also works with (nearly) any stock based ROM.

Is there a definite way of checking if it's working? Not by sound?

Yes, just check driver status in viper when something is playing in the background. If it says 'processing', then it's working.
Btw, why would I need custom kernel for viper?

I found that it isn't working on jolla Kernel and Stock.

Did you enable viper in app itself?
Not sure, but maybe you need to enable it on order to see 'processing'..
Did the installation of driver went well?

use a file exlorer with root privileges like es or root explorer and go to /etc/init.d directory, create a file and named "08setperm" (without quotes) and add the below lines in the file and save it..
#!/system/sh
setenforce 0
And give full permission (rwxrwxrwx)
reboot and you should be good. if for some reason your init.d script doesn't launch then download and install universal init.d tool and enable it.

Nice that someone is trying to get Viper4Android to work on Nexus 5x with Android 7.0 (Nougat). Sadly it does not work, tried your way but it does not enable me to get Viper4Android to work in Spotify.
Selinux is in permissive, your viber4android package is in place, audio_effects.conf removed, Android 7 by tupac4u installed and complete factory image installation before all this. No go..
Viper4android driver status does not complain but processing is always "no".

Try some other app like play music, v4a won't work on all apps if they have their own equalizer.

For those who want to use Viper4android with Spotify change fx compatible Mode to compatible in Viper settings. Then Open Spotify and go to Settings->Equalizer that should bring up Viper. Select Force enable and close Viper and Spotify. Open up both again and Boom Viper is there.

How find Android 7 by tupac4u ??
EDIT.
I found him already

Did someone get it working with stock rooted ROM?

Idk if this will work on the new version, but this zip I've attached here sets the previous ElementalX-N5x-1.17 kernel permissive permanently. I'm not on nougat yet, waiting for Xposed.

As long as the zip creates/places a file in the init.d to change selinux then i guess it should work

[GUIDE]How to get Viper4Android to work on 6.0 Beta.

I'm a HUGE fan of V4A, so I finally got it to work, and today I'll share with You how to get to work.
Make sure that You have root and TWRP or Phillz installed
Download V4A from PlayStore
Download BusyBox(Stericson) and install it to System/xbin(Su/bin directory probably would work too)
Install V4A drivers.
Rename SoundAlive_31_M folder in System/Priv-App to something else or cut and paste it somewhere else.
Flash this file Click here!
In V4A change mode to compatibility.
Done!
Thanks to MaximumEntropy for his file.
Additional info:
6.0 beta
SuperSu 2.66 beta
V4A 2.3.4.0
i have given this a go as per your guide but is still not working on 6.0.1?
It's just acting like it did before v4a installed audio effects don't make a difference any help anyone?
thanks
iNeoTom
Likewise here, in driver status it says it is supported and that neon is enabled but it is not processing or enabled overall. I've tried changing to compatibility mode and normal mode without any change.
Thanks a lot, works flawlessly on 6.0.1!
To get it working I had to replace the audio_effects.conf in system/etc with the one arter97 posted here http://www.arter97.com/browse/S6/M/ViPER/ set the right permissions and reboot. Got a system FC at first but then seems to work flawlessly. Good luck! :good:
This worked! S6 noble ROM 6.0 Thanks!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137/post57021246#post57021246
and I suggest to use the zip file at the end of post 1 of Guitarhero page named:
ViperAudio 5.4 stock
don't use others version, no D+, no SonyBeats, because there are some issue in some cases, use the most basic zip file with only Viper and its driver.
When instaled in recovery simply open it and disable and reenable viper and it will be ok, simply try EQ or other setting and you will ear difference and in this case it works.

yes, if something goes wrong and no working go to 3 dots in Viper anuninstall driver from it. But 99% will be ok and Viper working. No use other zip with modded V4A because with Dorimanx kernel it will result some unexpected reboot (tested by me and dori too). With the simple Viper zip everithing is ok.

Viper4android

is there someone who succes in the installation of this app?
when i open it,it ask if i want to install the drivers and stuck and after few seconds it crash
someone can help me with this ?
Many guys use this and there already was enough discussions, there are even seperate threads created with tutorials, use search for once[emoji14]
I managed to get Viper4Android working this way:
First off, I use stock with systemless root and xposed so the many security features included in stock made it a bit tricky. If you use a custom rom with a custom kernel, it's likely a bit easier.
I flashed my stock image from the google website
I flashed a custom kernel and then Supersu and then the lolliviper zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
I installed busybox from the play store, opened the busybox app and let it install.
I disabled selinux enforcing using the app from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485
Then I ran viper4audio and installed the driver from the app
Then I rebooted into twrp and used the terminal to delete /system/etc/audioeffects.conf and rebooted.
Voila, working Viper4android.

By the way, you can run a supolicy script for media server instead of disabling selinux because that would increase security risks and don't you mean audio_effects.conf in vendor? IMO better to add v4a entries than delete it, it's there for a reason I would think

[V4A] Viper4Android I/O Error (Driver Installation Failure) [FIX]

Hey everyone! I seem to have found put together 3 methods of installing/bypassing the V4A App on android. These methods include:
Regular Installation, and 2 Error bypasses/fixes.
If you get the error "superuser manager doesn't allow app to access su or you don't have root at all. fix this to use this selinuxmodechanger!", then you've come to the right place.
Requirements: ROOT, (maybe) TWRP (or anything you can flash the zip onto your phone with. With this tutorial I'll be using TWRP.)
If you don't have TWRP, here's the link to that \\ https://twrp.me/Devices/
Type in/select your device, click download, and flash it to your phone.
====================================================================================
Regular installation:
1.) Download V4A from Google Play Store \\ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android_v2_fx&hl=en
2.) Open, and grant root permission.
3.) Install drivers, and reboot phone. DONE!
==================================================================================================
V4A SuperSU Manager Error:
1.) Download V4A from Google Play Store (the newest one) \\ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android_v2_fx&hl=en
Open it, grant permissions, click "install drivers" <- just get through the driver menu. This is a troubleshoot test. If it fails, keep going on with the tutorial. If not, You're A-Okay.
2.) Download V4A Flashable ZIP from here \\ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By-5wpCgi7OHMjFZRU1PYXljbDQ/view
Drag and drop from your computer onto your phone in your "Downloads" folder.
3.) Open TWRP and click "Install" and navigate to your "Downloads" folder where you Installed the V4A Flashable ZIP (Viper4AndroidMM_v2.4.0.1.zip)
Install the ZIP in TWRP, and reboot.
4.) Open your apps/app menu, navigate to the new (it's an older version, but it's newly installed) V4A. It should be a purple logo instead of a blue logo. At this point in the tutorial, you should have both the Google Play Store APK, and the TWRP Flashed APK. Open the PURPLE V4A, and Install drivers now.
5.) Reboot phone, go to the NEW (blue logo) V4A, and install drivers on that one too.
The rest is clean-up. You may now delete the older version of V4A (purple logo).
========================================================
Bypass/fix #2, The SELinuxModeChanger issue:
1.) Download V4A (newest version) from \\ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android_v2_fx&hl=en
2.) (Grant root access) Attempt to install drivers. If this succeeds, then Idk why you're still here.
3.) Download SELinuxModeChanger APK from \\ http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506
4.) Open it, grant root access, and click "Permissive".
5.) Re-boot phone, and open V4A when done.
6.) Install drivers!

my head unit doesn't have vendor/etc or the audio effects configuration file....
Thanks
I had the Viper.apk from their website and the Google play version loaded also and I was getting the I/O error when trying to load the driver and the Google Play version didn't work at all. I did try to load SuperSU and busybox before attempting to load the driver again and it still didn't work. I don't know about permissive kernel, I'm running Resurrection ROM on a Rooted Note 3. The way I got this to work was to uninstalled the V4A Viper APK version that I had retrieved and loaded from their website. Next I booted into TWRP recovery and installed the V4A Flashable ZIP from the link that I found here. Next I ran the flashed version and granted SU permissions when asked during the install driver process. The driver finally loaded and bingo it works now.

You have to rename file before opening V4A app for the first time, now you rename it before or after flashing no matter,

When I install drivers for ViPER4Android FX I get "Driver installed, please reboot your device." and when I reboot, I'm asked to install drivers again. Did anyone figure out how to successfully install these drivers? I saw fixed around the forum, but they don't seem to work for me.

Viper4Arise on Android Oreo 8.1

For anyone who's interested, here's what I did. based on the directions given by quinny899 in the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/viper4android-8-1-0-t3711474
I used the contents of the ZIP posted by quinny899 (for step 9, below) in post #8 on that thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74681544&postcount=8
The steps I took were:
1. Clean install of the Android 8.1 full factory images (with the -w option removed from the flash-all.bat file)
2. Completed the initial set up, then got rid of the lockscreen PIN (so that I wouldn't have decryption issues with TWRP in the next steps)
3. Put phone into fastboot, then booted into the TWRP 3.2 image
4. Installed Magisk (version 14.1456 beta)
5. Rebooted
6. Installed Buysbox for Magisk, and downloaded (did not install) the Vipe4Android Magisk module by ShadySquirrel
7. Extracted the Viper4Android.apk from the Magisk module that I downloaded
8. Rebooted
9. Copied the contents of quinny89's zip file into root/Magisk (using SolidExplorer, after granting it root privileges)
10. Rebooted. Now, Magisk thinks it has Viper installed (but it doesn't, yet!)
11. Install the Viper4Android.apk that I extracted in Step 7, as a normal user app
12. Reboot
13. In Viper4Android, put it in Compatibility mode, enable Developer mode, and disable seLinux (or use some other method to set seLinux to permissive, I suppose)
14. Reboot, and Viper is working for phone speakers, and Bluetooth, tested with Spotify and Poweramp. Convolvers, and all
All credit to quinny899 for figuring this out for the PixelXL.

Weird, indeed! Glad you got it working though!
I couldn't get it working using the apk from the magisk viper 14+, but using the apk from v4afx_v2.2.zip worked perfect.
---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 AM ----------
I notice with this method for viper it takes a sec to kick in when I change songs, which makes a little shift at the beginning. Anyone know how to get rid of that?
This works.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-viper4android-fx-2-5-0-5-t3577058/page126
Did any of you have to use a Magisk SELinux Permissive Script to get Viper to work?
If i disable the script in Magisk, Viper doesnt, work but if the script is enabled, it works.
IF you guys aren't using a script how did you get viper to work?
Im using the following Magisk Modules
Audio Modification Library v2.5 by ahrion, zackptg5
Busybox for Android NDK v1.27.2 by osm0sis
Magisk SElinux Permissive Script v1.1 by jman420
ViPER4Android FX v2.5 (2.3.4.0) by ahrion, zackptg5
I'm using the permissive script. Permissive is required for viper.
