It says that there are some changes to be made...because of LPA...and I was afraid to allow it. because I do not have a custom recovery to make backups..so viper is not functioning correctly...I need to uninstall it I guess

Uninstall is not a problem… in menu you can uninstall drivers and after that you can uninstall the apk normaly. Works fine for me on five different devices.
1) SGS 3, 4 & 5
2) Galaxy Note 10.1 (2013)
3) Huawei G700
… no fear
The LPA modding is only to set them from True to false. You need them for working with third party music Apps.
Backup the "build.prop" is enough security.

Thank you for your answer. How do I back up the build.prop please?

Not working here, noise only!

The recording button is appearing correctly however, the recorded track contains just noise!

This problem has been solved quite long time ago.
If your ROM don't have the call recording, you can try to use dr.Ketan autocall recording. I use that one before (when I use ROM without recording function).
Paste this in system etc and call will work. Make backup

Viper4Audio not working in ROM

I installed a ROM which came with Viper. I installed the driver as battery saver and high performance. I installed it as a user app and a system app. It still does not function at all. I tried compatibility mode and normal as well.
How do I get it to work?
I have same issue mine will work for a minute or two but then stop working I've tried different roms different versions of viper4android no luck
Yeah I'm running a ROM with it and having issues. Mine is that when the screen is off my music will skip or pause for just a second. Its real annoying I've tried it on headphones and the phone speaker with the same result.

They should stop including it in ROMs if it doesn't function.
I've frozen Sound Alive and it fixed everything for me. Give that a try if your rom still has it enabled.
How do you freeze SoundAlive?

You can either freeze it with Titanium Backup Pro or use a root explorer and rename the app soundalive.apk to soundalive.bak. It's located in the system/priv-app folder. On a side note have you all set ViperFX as the default music effects in settings/sound/music effects? Viper runs great for me. As for including it in the ROMs it needs to be made a data app and not a system app so it can be uninstalled if desired. I started to do this and hope other devs who include it in the ROM will follow suit.

You need to add MusicFX.apk back to the system/priv-app folder to get the Music Effects menu back and SoundAlive.apk if you want Sound Alive back in the Music Effects menu. Then reboot. Otherwise ViperFX will show up in the Music Effects menu once MusicFX is added back. You should also be more specific to witch ROM you are referring to, it might have been added back in a newer version.

Download this file and flash it using safestrap. Then open app and download drivers. Then restart go to settings/sounds/music effects and choose viper4android. Then hit enable in viper app this should work. This worked for me and I tried everything else everyone said with no luck

[Equalizer]DSP Manager for ALL Lollipop Versions

Disclaimer: First of all, I do not own any of these files.
[For CM13]:
With effect of build from Aug 2016 onwards, Audio FX will NOT be replaced by any third-party equalizer.
The ONLY solution is to first remove Audio FX by using Root Uninstaller then flash DSP Manager.
DSP Manager is an Equalizer that was once as default equalizer since CM7 and it performs almost identical to beats audio. (Best features: Dynamic Compression & Bass Boost)
Since CyanogenMod has stopped / abandoned work for DSP Manager on CM12 onwards,
I have a solution and had 2 zip files tested and FULLY working on CM12.1 & CM13 (should be also fully compatible with any versions of AOSP, modded, stock Lollipop and future Roms)
I have attached 2 zips (eng.stk's modded zip + patch) that will be needed in order to get the sound enhancement working.
Instructions:
1. Flash the modded v5.0.8 zip
2. Flash the patch(DSP.zip)
If it does not work after performing 2 flashes as mentioned, try flashing v5.0.8 zip on top again after flashing the original DSP zip.
(No wipes required)
Big shout out to CyanogenMod Team and @eng.stk
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3873953
for all the works and all credits to them.
Be sure to check out @eng.stk other modded equalizer works.
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-cm-dspmanager-universal-zip-t2939933
DSP Manager might NOT work on all music players.
Original music player(Apollo) has also been included.
Enjoy!

great so i will upgrade my phone to lollipop 5.1.1
This is awesome buddy! I was beating my head against the table for hours trying to figure out why Android 5.1.1 would not have a good equalizer or the prior ability to override the built in craptastic MusicFX. So after googling and reading a ton of workarounds for Lollipop, I found this thread. And using CM in the past, I really like DSP as is does all the things needed (equalizer for headphones, speakers, bluetooth). SO I did as you instructed, flashed the two files in order you mentioned (mod then original) and viola it works. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I love it to loud lol

This would be great if I can just get a custom recovery on my GS4. I have zero success so far. I have OF1 5.01. It is rooted and only the stock recovery works. Anytime I try to install a custom recovery it fails. My bootloader shows the Samsung logo with an open lock indicating it is unlocked too. So I am completely confused on how to get TWRP or CWM on here. I need an EQ badly. This suck!!
Just to let you guys know that this methods works for CM13 / android M aosp roms too
Cheers
Works great on CM 13.0 (Android 6.0) !
Works with Poweramp on Galaxy S4 I9505 (runing CM12.1) , but it makes the sound stutter in voice calls.
Is it supposed to work on Galaxy S4 at all ? Any idea on how to fix stuttering issue in voice calls ?
Thanks for maintaining this mod.
@finallau, any suggestion on sound issue during voice call with dsp manager ?

try a wipe cache + factory reset then flash my files.
If still persists, I suggest you update to CM13
Thanks for the suggestion @finallau.
I tried flashing your files over a clean install (wiped system + cache + data, and reinstalled CM12.1 before flashing the files).
Result is the same: music playback works in poweramp with dsp manager effects enabled, but sound is broken during a voice call.
Too bad it does not work, will rely on Viper4Android from now on.
Working great on SGS2 GT-I9100 with CM13 Nightly.

Booted and gave V4A-MK superuser permissions

TO MAKE IRS FILES WORK YOU MUST GO TO SETTINGS>APPS>V4A-MK AND GIVE IT STORAGE PERMISSIONS
V4A was working for me after this, but I do not take responsibility if it does not work for you.
I recommend Dolby atmos 6.6 also made by @ahrion.
I believe the link is in the Original HTC10 audio thread as well.
Also ViperAudio. 4.8 and ViperAtmos. 4.8 by guitarededhero, and others that contributed and tested to make those go to mods for me.
Viper's I mentioned can be found on xda, software development forum. Feel free to link below.

Anyone here uses external USB DAC with their V4A?
I haven't tried a USB dad but I want to. On that note the hdmi output works perfectly. All our TV's have built in days and also sounbars and recievers. Why there is no stand alone dads that I can find with hdmi input I am really not sure. Dies hdmi have better audio than USB I do not know either but sounds damn fine to me. If you just want to had a separate headphone dac/amp then I think any with an xmos processor will work. Also the soundblaster E5 sounds pretty good and should connect.

To quote my response, hope this helps:
Ok here's what I did:
- make sure any previous version of Viper is removed (I had an issue where I'd installed a version over another and it messed my sound up in that even on the lowest volume step it was playing full volume!). I used one of the viper with the aroma and chose uninstall. Then I used Titanium Backup to search for viper and removed another that way.
- flash this version:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634776829
- if you don't have the Viper app appear then flash an apk of one. I used the pure black from from here (open up the zip and I used the 2.5.0.5 version):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OgctcRCMJvdUpSTnZYazhpM2s/view
I'm not sure if I'm just being picky, but I swear that this sound doesn't sound as good as previous setups. Though this is the first version that just works - as previously I needed to use compatibility mode for Spotify and to avoid issues, such as when I would play via Spotify, then load Poweramp whilst playing, it would silence Spotify resulting in me needing to kill both apps in order to resume audio.
Good luck!

Im having this issue as well. Had viper4android on my s7 edge and it was much louder with alot more bass. Very disappointing. Cant figure out why its not as loud as the s7 edge. Any tips on how to boost volume. I'm connecting to Bluetooth in my car on a s8 plus.
