[SOLVED] Need help To Install Viper4android In Samsung galaxy A800I

Hello everybody,
I really need help to install viper4android in samsung galaxy A800I.
I`ve tried several time with several tricks. but can`t yet. It always asks for installing driver.
here are the device profile :
Device = Samsung Galaxy A8 (A800I)
Chipset = Exynos 5433
Rom = Stock 5.1.1 with stock kernel (latest update)
SE for Android Status = enforcing
Rooted = yes (with Supersu).
Busybox = yes (stericson) with run parts.
Init.d support = yes and working (With Test.Log file in /data folder)
Permissive.zip = Installed
Viper supolicy.zip = installed
Selinuxmode changer = tried,but didn`t work
Viper fix 1.1 by Dr.ketan = Installed
Samsung Knox = Unistalled (Through TB)
Xposed = Working flawlessly
root Explorer = Installed
Sd-fix = Installed
Terminal Emulator = Installed (applied all commands for making setenforce = 0)
Music Player Used = google Music Player, gonemad music player, Poweramp etc
** Adapt sound and Sound alive apps are disabled (Through TB)
** I`ve tried other Viper audio (Moded) from this forum, but didn`t work.
These are the things I do for installing viper4android successfully.
But can`t yet.
I`m a viper fan and I used it from my first smart device.
Would anybody pls help me to fix this viper issue ? What did i miss ?
BTW, I think Viper is not working (installing the driver) only because of Selinux mode is "enforcing". And I`ve tried my best to make it permissive (for last 2-3 days). But can`t. Can anybody pls make a kernel patch which makes the it "permissive". I want stock kernel (maybe patched or modified, but no custom kernel), as perticular this build gives me excellent battery life and no heating or any other issues.
So, it would great if anybody help me to fix this issue.
Regards
Micheal86.

Its actually very difficult to install V4A with SELinux enforcing, despite several claims of it working with enforcing.
Also know tht there's no fixed method to install V4A. One has to keep trying different methods
These are the things u cld try ("REMEMBER TO TAKE A BACK UP OF YOUR ROM BEFORE TRYING THIS"):-
Here it goes:-
1) Search the post of member AndrasLOHF on viper4android.
U'll find the zips on the 236th page of this post.
2) Another post tells u to flash the following two zips :-
"Viper4A-_Soundfix-LibFiles_-CWM.zip" & "Viper4A-_Build.Prop-Tweaks_-CWM.zip", alongwith flashing V4A zip.
3) U cld also try the post , Viper4Android Working on S6 Edge.
Hopefully, one of these might work.
Best of Luck :good:
P.S - I'm using A7 & not A8 but the above posts are not meant to work on one particular model, so u can certainly try.

Thanks mate for your reply.
i`ll try these things and give feedback.
But one thing I want to share with you that I was trying to install viper4android for last 3 - 4 days. but can`t. I`ve searched and googled to fix this issue. And interestingly I`ve found that the main thing behind this is Samsung Knox. Knox makes it impossible to do anything beyond security. It doesn`t allow to make Selinuxmode to permissive and most probably for that reason we can`t install viper and any other mods. I`m trying to remove/uninstall knox with several ways and tricks, but can`t do yet.
It is possible if we can make a patch or modify the stock kernel. But I can`t do this because I don`t know how to do this .
BTW, do you have any idea ?
Thank you once again.

I'm very sorry but I'm not a dev, Just a fan of V4A.
I can certainly tell u tht knox can be removed, after rooting, using "uninstall system apps" app without any effect on the installation of V4A.
I've successfully installed V4A on my S4 (korea model) & now on A7(Indian model), by removing knox just from this app. So Knox should not be a worry.
There is a custom kernel compiled by @ashyx. Its a selinux permissive, rooted kernel.
the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam.../kernel-permissive-ll-5-11-kernel-sm-t3312817.
Credit goes to Ashyx for the compilation.
All the best!!!

Thanks mate.
you`re really very helpful.
I too really love viper very much.
I`ll try your procedures to install Viper, and give you the feedback.
Thanks for the link. I want stock (modified, only set to permissive and nothing else, because this build is really excellent for battery life) kernel.
BTW, need some more information.
1. Does viper (driver status) shows "Processing - Yes" (in your both devices) ? Because it`s very important for sound effects.That`s why I`m asking.
2. Which apps you`ve uninstalled for removing knox from your devices ?
3. Which version of viper4android are you using ?
BTW, What is the actual name of this app ? Is it System app remover ? Because I do`nt find the app you recommended.

Development for A-series models have just started (as u can see from the forum ), so you might not find stock kernel with selinux permissive for the time being.
But you can always try that custom kernel and see if it helps your purpose
I've attached a screenshot of V4A installed in A7(2016) with processing "Yes".
I'm using the latest version of V4A(2.4.0.1).
Now, regarding the app, the link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
I've used it to remove Knox and have not faced any problems in V4A installation because of Knox.
If u want further cleaning, you can use "root explorer" or "es file explorer" to delete knox completely.
If you still are unable to install V4A, just share your installation steps.
I'll try to help
If you are an audiophile and fan of V4A just like me, you will have to keep trying the different methods of installation

Thank you so much.
I`ve (we) done it.
Viper4android is working in A8. Thanks mate for giving me the links and ideas. It`s also working with "processing = yes".
Yes, I`m too an audiophile an a fan of viper like you. that`s why I was trying it for last 6 - 7 days.
I`m using Viper 2.3.4.0 ( With the help of the S6 Edge thread).
sorry file attaching with XDA feature doesn`t work with my browser for some days. that`s why I can`t upload any screenshots.
Ok. I`ve got the app.
Actually I wanted to know that which system files (names of the files) you`ve removed to remove knox from your device ? I`ve tried to remove all the knox related files through root explorer, but it didn`t work (got bootloop). That`s why I`m asking ?
BTW, I agree with you. The A series (specially A8) has nearly no development. A8 is a 2015`s phone , but there is not a single custom rom, no mods, no stock modified kernel. I don`t know why no Devs are intersesting about this series ? I`m not a dev and a very ordinary member of XDA and love android. I`ve tried to make a custom(stock) rom and I`ve made it (Pre-rooted, Deloated, Zipaligned, with build prop and CSC tweaks) . But it doesn`t boot. It always stucks with the samsung Logo with non secure kernel message with red color. I think its all about the kernel (boot img). I`ve searched Xda and googled for help. I`ve tried my best .But got no fruitful result yet.
Anyway thank you once again.

glad I could help
Using the uninstaller app, just scroll down the "system apps" list & you can uninstall all the knox icons that you see. There are many files without any icon. Read them and you will find few files related to knox. Uninstall those files too.
Now, You should not find knox-related problems :good:

Best root process?

I’m going to wait a little bit before doing my root. I had a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 recently die on me. I tried replacing the charging port and the battery but the thing was still dead. So I ordered an S5e. It should be arriving tomorrow. I’m just curious what everyone is doing with it now. I did a quick search and it looks like root is available now. But the instructions I found are outdated saying a recovery method (TWRP) wasn’t available but there was a news announcement saying it now was. So I’m kind of lost.
Like I said, I want to play around with it unmodded for a while before I root it. Just looking for a clear cut “best” way to go about doing it and seeing what the most recommended options are.
On my s10 I remember having TWRP as the recovery and Cyanogen was the OS.
Thanks!

I spent the whole weekend in my new s5e wifi edition, the truth as follows:
There are 4 ROMs for this tablet:
Original (shipped with Samsung ROM, Android 9) - Everything works fine, antutu v8 183k, but full of crapware from Samsung, suspicious apps and services, don't waste your time doing root on this ROM
LineageOS 16 (Android 9) - So far the best ROM at this moment, antutu v8 183k too, stable and HDMI issues too, but there is a workaround, (look my other HDMI problem thread)
LineageOS 17 (Android 10) - Trebuchet launcher crashing constantly, HDMI issues so I didn't test antutu because felt too unstable, so I gave up too
LuisROM - antutu v8 170k and HDMI issues too, so I gave up
I installed all the ROMs using TWRP, the root just works with magisk, the official LOS16 root su zip doesn't work. Once you have the TWRP installed you can just install the magisk .zip the same way you do with the ROMs, then the magisk manager will appear installed automatically where you can check the root status. Good luck!

Why not root the original rom and delete as much crapware as possible after root? That was my plan when my tab S5e will arrive.
You speak about TWRP but in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s5e/how-to/galaxy-tab-s5e-sm-t720-root-t3947806 and that is the only decent one I could find, they explain that TWRP does not work on the Tab S5e because of changes Samsung made. Are yu saying that TWRP works?

Those posts are a reference, dont follow their procedures hoping that will work as they described... yes I AM using TWRP it works, get from their website "twrp-3.3.1-4-gts4lvwifi.img.tar" and "vbmeta.tar" then via ODIN, flash them, one each time, rebooting after the process. Once you have the TWRP installed, you can play around with any ROM and do the root as I explained before. I don't trust in a ROM full of crapware, its my point of view, cleaning based on tests you can never be sure if there is nothing left stealing your data or forcing updates or whatever samsung decides... so LOS is the way, clean, open-source, nothing to hide.

that is amazing news....I would love to try this out with my device and downloaded the files you suggested. I also found "PGP Signature vbmeta.tar.asc", do I need that too?
I have to admit that I have not much experiencing rooting...I only installed TWRP on my Samsung J5 phone years ago and after that I loaded another rom (I think lineage) on it. a stripped down version that offered more intern memory and that is still running smooth on my phone today.
So would it be possible to give me some more advice? Is it correct that I have to connect the S5e with Odin by booting it in download mode? And can you tell me where I have to load the files in Odin? Is it in the AP section?
And are there options I have to enable in Odin? (I heard something about a reboot option you have to enable or disable).
I hope you can help me with those questions. What model of tab are you using btw? Is it a 720 ?
Thanx in advance,
Jan

exactly, you got it!
And are there options I have to enable in Odin? (I heard something about a reboot option you have to enable or disable).
This part is up to you, In later tries I did all at once, but be careful and flash one image per time until you feel confident
I hope you can help me with those questions. What model of tab are you using btw? Is it a 720 ?
SM-T720 the wifi only version

Thank you so much :good::good:

Thanks for your effort. Trying.

changelog
Hello,
Where I can find the changelog of new update ??

Magisk ERROR: 1
Hi. Pretty nice ROM, but I have a problem with installing Magisk. It's showing ERROR: 1 (Magisk 20.4). Any ideas?
@edit 05/05/20:
I found a solution, if someone has same problem: watch?v=NmEzjTG0cTI

TWRP Version
Thanks for build this ROM,
What version of TWRP is used to install this ROM and this ROM included Frimware?

Hello,
I just wanted to say that ROM is awesome stable so far never had any issue except sometimes my mic got disabled suddenly, ppl can't hear me in records calls anything and only restart fixes this issue otherwise all good 2 weeks nw.

Same problem here of the mic which is extremely annoying + having a bad mobile data signal otherwise, a really good rom

Hello, I downloaded the latest version of the firmware and cannot answer the call. When someone calls you, the phone does not respond, and no dialog box pops up to answer the call.

Hi, now I'm downloading. I'll flash clean. I was on Pixel Rom but I just tried MIUI12 EU Rom and it sucks... Errhhggg...
I'll flash this clean. Hope to won't back MIUI12...

Mic not working after use google assistant, and must reboot to make it work.

Evolution-X provides updates via OTA? I think Xiaomi is not going to update anymore and I am thinking of putting Evolution-X among other candidates ...

2 years, now i think i should root & use a custom rom...

Hello there friends
This is my first proper Indian phone, been using it since past 2 year, pure stock just the gcam.
I wish to root it now and use a custom rom.
Can you great guys point me to the latest unlocking and rooting procedure as i am on latest firmware now and not sure if older methods will work or not.
Secondly could you please point me yo a stable, custom rom that is very smooth to operate, battery efficient, without any bugs and can handle all banking apps and stuff.
I am okay if its Android 9 or 10 just a thoroughly stable rom.
Thank you in advance

Hello,
Just did it two days ago, follow this thread (and the linked thread when necessary, like the TWRP one) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
Three things to remember for the script to work :
1/ You need to enable USB debugging in developrs options
2/ You need to install the Windows drivers for your phone, that is, when connected through USB, you shouldn't see a yellow exclamation mark in your Windows Device Manager
3/ It doesn't work with Rizen CPU on USB 3.0 port
Once you know that it's pretty straightforward. Oh, one thing that happened to me right after unlocking bootloader is that it asked for password to access Data partition, I had to restart to recovery and wipe Data partition once more.
Don't forget to backup everything before starting, and have fun, this device has a lot of nice ROMs to try

Thanks mate
Can you confirm if b Kong apps re working fine upon unlock and root with the custom roms
That's my biggest concern now
I am ok with unlocking and rooting but bank apps not working owing to rooted device is my next biggest concern.

Followed this method on pie few months back and it works. Follow the instructions and you are good.

I've been using Pixel Experience Plus ROM as my daily driver for the past 3 months and I never look back to any other ROMs!

I'm using Havoc 2.9 Pie, Bootlegger rom is also a nice option, both of these roms provide multiple customizations.

Thanks a lot guys for the replies
Sorry got stuck with some stuff hence could thank you folks and couldnt even visits
If there are anymore newer roms then please do let me know
Thanks again

Just wanted to update
That more tha. 2 years after buying the m1 i have unlocked and installed a custom rom.
I can see encryption thing has come into play now and to root magisk is the drug of choice ?
So i have unlocked the bootloader flashed the twrp wiped all and now using PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS ROM but without root as i dont need root atm.
The rom is awesome prior to this i had flashed havoc but this is far better way too smooth utterly battery efficient and no issues whatsoever.
Need a couple of things sorted though
1 how to te remove that persistent search bar at the bottom without changing the launcher
2. How to remove the date and weather widget upto on home screen
Thanks

I don't think you can remove those atm, maybe u can request to the original PE plus developer
Anyway, I'm getting used to those widgets and they both are useful for me :laugh:

MIUI 12 slow as ...

Hello everyone,
I have my redmi note 7 with which I've kept using MIUI since I bought it. But now the android system weights for 9 go. I think it is insane for a phone, correct me if I'm wrong.
The phone is slow and when I try to erase everything et reinstall it. The system is faster but the system is still heavy.
Do you think rooting it can help solve the issue ? Or may those 9 go of system be caused by some viruses ?
Thanksnin advance,

Unlock the bootloader and flash a customer without root. You have a big choice, the most one are very fast and stable

Thank you for your answer.
0) what is the weight of a normal custom system once installed ?
1) Do you mean to flash a rom and still using the original kernel ?
The last time I flashed a system, it was on a Galaxy S2.... Did the things changed ? At that time we had an important risk to brick the phone under gingerbread version of Android (that version had some kind of bug) .
2) Are the risks still high today ?
I looked a bit through the list or roms on xda and the lineageOS seems to come out as the lightest rom.
3) Is there a room that is more stable than the others ?
4) Is there a rom that is kept updated more than the others ?
5) What about the android security updates once a custom rom is installed ?
Sorry that is a lot of questions but I need an update since my galaxy S2
Thanks in advance,

First, when you unlock your bootloader your phone make a factory reset. Then you have the choice which ROM. lingeos, havoc, pixel os are stable and have the last security patch. Then you have the choice with or without gapps (Google apps). In every thread is a how to and the recommend gapps. Orange fox is a very good recovery. And brick risk is small. Sometimes I had a softbrick with testing around kernel and modules, but it easy to fix. Make a backup with the customer recovery before. The weight I don't know in the moment. My daughter change the pattern . In the forum is a old how to unlock and under development is the recovery. You will find it. Have fun

Thank you very much for your answer.
I'll post the comparison of the weight of the system once I'll have installed it.
