It sounds like you didn't enable it correctly. It works fine on my phone. Did you open Viper and install the driver in super high quality and enable it? You also have to select it in settings/sound/music effects. Also it might not work with the samsung player but this is a Viper issue not the ROM.

Every time I open it it ask to install drivers I enabled it and turned it on in settings

That's strange try clearing the cache in the application manager for Viper also if you haven't update supersu. You will be better off flashing the update in safe strap.

This maybe a dumb question but what file do I need to upgrade binary on su

One last thing. Go here and download the latest Viper4Android FX, FX version v2.3.3.0. Extract the zip and copy ViPER4Android_FX_A2.3.apk to your ext SD card and reinstall the app. Don't use the ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk file it will force close. That should do it. If not try a clean wipe and reinstall the ROM to the stock slot. I know it's a pain but other than what I suggested already I'm out of options. I have no idea why it's giving you a hard time in the first place.

Thank you that worked thanks for your time

Those with failing Super USer I have a 3.0 APK

Well guys im going to upload the apk i got from some post on here somewhere but it worked for me.
Just uninstall the current SU and then " INSTALL " this one. No rebooting required...
Also not my liability. I haven't noticed anything bad or out of normal. It works for me

First of all, if Superuser works for you and you have root privileges and root apps work this wouldn't apply to you.
Well, first I would go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, and look for Superuser.
If it is not there, then you might have to dig into ADB commands. Or just reflash ROM.

Go to the applications list and choose uninstall on super user.
Or go to the market go to my apps and then find super user click it and select un install.
From there install the 3.0 SU that I have listed and it should work for your device (varies among devices and roms).
YOU DO NOT NEED TO REFLASH ANYTHING. Just re install and it should work . It is what worked for me.
This is super frustrating it does not give me that option i guess i need to root again even though it say S if Off

[Q] [Help] kitkat update & xposed framework issue

Hi all,
I have been looking everywhere for a solution but have found none that solved my issue.
I had xposed framework installed and working fine on my S4 i9505 with 4.3 and just after I updated to 4.4 I just can't install it (new install) nor re-install it with Titanium Backup.
I have the latest version, and it tries to install but finishes installation saying "application not installed" and that's all.
Can anyone give me a hand?
I have stock ROM, rooted with supersu, CWM.
thanks!
You dont need use Titanium Backup for that:
1. Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it normally like an app
2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
3. Reboot
4. Done!
It seems I'm not explaining myself correctly...
I know how to install Xposed.
I have had it ever since I got the phone 8 months ago. I have changed roms frequently and never had any trouble installing it again.
But since I updated to kitkat 4.4.2 there is no way I can install it again from fresh. That's when I tried with Titanium just in case it worked, but it didn't.
So there must be something wrong with my cel after the update to kitkat 4.4.2.
does anyone know what could be the matter and how to solve it (apart from obviously flashing another ROM)?
thank you
You haven't changed the runtime to ART have you before you tried installing xsposed?

Im not sure if this will work Check your Internal sd card if you have Xposed-Disabler-recovery-.zip and flash it via custom Recovery mate, then intall xposed once again and Supersu should ask for permission ..
Try flashing xposed Disabler recovery in recovery then try installing it again

Viper4android unable to install driver

I have a nexus 6p running cm13. I have tried installing v4a multiple times but with no aveil. Ive tried every single tutorial i have come across and no matter what i end up getting one of two results.
A) i open and i click on yes on the first pop up (install/ update driver) and it freezes there for a while then says drivers installed. I dont even get the option of choosing which driver.
B ) i click install driver, i choose super high quality and reboot but i end up getting the same prompt to install drivers.
I tries every solution i could find, like deleting the audio_effects.conf file or placing files manually. Ive tried EVERYTHING. Am i missing something? Does it not work on 6.0.1? Please help, im very frustrated and dont know what to do anymore.
simple install the zip here:

So i installed the zip but the driver status still says abnormal. However i do have the option to uninstall drivers which i never had before. I have busy box, do i need a permissive SELinux for this?

Its not about the zip. It is okay. It's the Busybox installer.
Use this:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox
Once you have installed. Reboot and re-install drivers in V4A. And reboot again.
My driver status is still abnormal. I installed busy box to xbin. Would installing it to bin or other make a difference?

Viper4Android -or any EQ- only for certain apps, not system-wide?

Hello. I currently have a OP2 (or is it OPT? ) with Official RR + Boeffla for CM (alpha 10). I know, I need to update my signature.
Today I decided to try Viper (making a nand backup first, of course) and it installed without problems, but it only works on Play Music. Same for AudioFX, the default EQ that came with the system that I have now disabled (to avoid Viper issues).
No effects on YouTube or BSPlayer for example (with eighter A-FX or Viper), in short, the EQs don't affect the system, but only some apps, or one in my case.
Is this normal behaviour? Back on KK 4.4.4 I could use Viper or whatever EQ app and it would apply to all the system and apps!
Thanks in advance.
Do you have force enable v4a on?
I tried but nothing. Do I have to reboot when I enable that?
Tried rebooting, nothing. It's just not applying to the whole system, only to the apps tha use equalizers.
Is this normal?
For me, it didn't even work on Spotify using the latest 2.4.0.1 of V4A in permissive mode and using the correct busybox. So I uninstalled it, maybe in a couple of months it will work again.
It's like not all system uses the default EQ. And I don't know if that's normal behaviour on MM or is it just me.

Does the zip still work. Am on RR 5.7.1 and facing the same issue. Viper works for Music Player and Googel Music but nothing else. Need it for MX desperatley. Would really appreciate your help
Yes, actually, it was easier than flashing all those. Just install Viper the normal way, the apk and then the driver. You need to have Selinux set to permissive all the time, AFAIK. After the driver installation and reboot, follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66717263&postcount=22331
For me, I had to set that file to read only because after reboots it would roll back to normal. But as long as those line are commented, Viper will work system-wide.
Hope that helps. Please tell me how it goes.
Cheers.

What do you mean by commenting? Do I have to really delete those lines or just put quote marks before and after the lines?
And I'm on stock 3.02, rooted and xposed installed. Van this work form me?
If Viper is not working for you, you can try that solution. You can delete the lines or add "#" before them, eighter would work. I recommend commenting them because that way you can uncomment them anytime you want.

How I passed safetynet, got root, adblock and viper-fx to work on OOS 4.0.2 OP3T

I decided to start this thread for a couple of reasons 1 so I can remember what order I did things in to get back after a wipe and 2 so maybe it can help others to setup certain apps how they want and not have to spend the time I did searching and googling.
To start we are going to assume you already have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.
After a fresh wipe I flashed OOS 4.0.2 Full from this thread in TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-oos4-0-nougat-op3t-leaked-t3523482
I recommend a fresh wipe because every time I did a dirty flash or restored a backup my Android System started draining battery like crazy and phone would get warm while charging
Without rebooting I then flashed Magisk V10.2 in TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Still without rebooting I flashed Franco Kernel in TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ernel-franco-kernel-r1-28th-november-t3508904
I then wiped dalvik and cache and rebooted phone.
edit - THIS STEP WILL NOT WORK ON 4.0.3. It has been patched out.
Somewhere in the process my DM-Verity was tripped and although annoying it does not seem to matter and it can be fixed later by following this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/fix-easy-method-removing-dm-verity-t3544339
After phone booted and I setup account and wifi and I go the play store and install PHH superuser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser&hl=en
Once installed I open it and click the 3 dots and go to settings
Where it says Superuser access I toggle between Apps only and Apps and ADB till I get the message Superuser granted to Superuser
I then go back into play store and install Magisk manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.topjohnwu.magisk&hl=en
I go into Magisk Settings and click the checkbox to Enable Magisk Hide.
I then reboot phone
Once phone reboots I open Magisk manager again and check safetynet. It now passes.
I hate ads, I had been using Adaway from F-Droid with MM but I couldn't get it to work on N
I found this https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway/issues/770 after many searches. About halfway down a user named KreAch3R has comiled Sanjay900's changes into an apk so I figured I would give it a try.
At first I could not get it to activate and block ads
I installed this busybox and then it activates no problems and now most ads (not youtube) are blocked
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
Now what I really wanted was Viper4arise. I tried flashing some in TWRP and I couldn't get them to work and this led to a couple more wipes. But I really wanted this so I kept searching.
I found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/viperfx-mkm-magisk-t3535401
I downloaded it and enabled it in Magisk manager
Still no luck and I couldn't get it to work.
After more googling and reading through the other threads for viper I figured it was deep buffering
I used ES file explorer as I was not at home and went into system/etc and found audio_policy.conf
I commented out the first line I saw that said deep_buffer.
After saving I rebooted and now Viper-fx works
To get it to work with Poweramp I had to set FX compatibility mode in Viper to compatible and in Poweramp audio/advanced tweaks I had to disable Direct Volume Control and Enable MusicFX.
Thanks for sharing
Did you have any special trick to get viper to work ? Tried commenting out the line deep_buffer and still unable to get viper to work.

Would you be able to send me that file ? I am just curious what is wrong with my setup.
Just want to say thank you again. Didn't see the PM until now. I was able to use another guide on XDA to get Viper working.
Viper will not work on all apps at any time on OOS 4.0.2. Enable Compatibility mode in settings to get it to work. IMO this produces lower quality audio, but it works.
Still cant get viper working. Nothing of deep_buffer is commanded. Please can you share your audio_policy.conf?

1) With what app?
2) Did you enable Viper's Compatibility mode?
3) I've also modified audio_policy_configuration.xml to remove deep buffer. Messing with this file too much will break your audio though.

WHat app isn't Viper working with? Viper processes audio on a per-app basis, based on the audio buffer the app uses. Google Play Music, on Nougat, does not pipe through Viper even with modifications to the audio config.
Enable compatibility mode. At the moment this is the only way to get the highest compatibility with apps- like Google Play Music.

I followed same steps earlier. But my selinux is enforcing. I have to set it to permissive everytime on reboot. Permissive fix that comes with arise didnt work for me. Any idea..?
Do you think the Elemental X Kernel would be ok instead of franco kernel? Not sure if I'd get compatibility issues with any of this stuff. Btw not going to try to get adblock or viper fx. Also, do you wipe the system or just what TWRP has already checked?

Not sure. I know it all worked the same with stock kernel.
Normally when I need to wipe my phone it is because I have really messed it up so I wipe system and data.
