Viper4android working for AOSP ROMs?

I used Viper4android on the stock G2 rom without any problems, but I can't get it working on the aosp roms. Anyone else had luck?
The app installs, driver installs, reboot, etc. It just never kicks in and driver status doesn't say it's processing.

Surely somebody else uses this, right?

It FC's for me in AOKP as soon as I plug my headphones.

Working here. Restored TB backup on AICP. I notice it kicking off then back on occasionally but sounds great.
I did have to go back through the process of downloading drivers. And I think there's an option to choose music equalizer: under settings>Sound>Music effects, check Viper

Thanks, I'll give it another shot. Can you tell me which version of Viper4Android you got, or just link the source? I saw a lot in the play store. Thanks again!

Sure, I got it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456073
Looks like version 2.3.0.1

I got it working by freezing musicfx and running the driver in compatibility mode.

Not working on stock lolipop after reboot app keeps crashing and I'm unable to install the drivers(after reboot it just asks for driver installation again)

(Question) How to install Viper4Android on Stock MM?

I used SeLinux Mode Changer to change the kernel to permissive and Busybox too and tried to install V4A but it still didn't work. Also moved V4A to a system app, no success.
I'm on Stock based 6.0 (Marshmallux) and I don't want to flash a custom rom yet...

did you rename " /system/vendor/etc/audio_effect.conf" to "audio_effect.bak" ? marshmallow has some issues with viper http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-material-viper4android-2-3-4-0u-t3190352

Does it really increase the already great sound quality of moto x play?
I have used it on my previous device.

i am no audiophile
couldn't find any difference though, then again i use the same earphones that came with the phone. Many say its bad.
i don't have any level to compare against, its all sounds same to me. i listen to music for time pass, i don't listen music for ''Music''.
and i had to restore from backup today. phone screen went black.. i was playing around with doze and flashing all these apps[Dolby ATMOS/Xposed/amplify]. so now i do not have any more enhanced music app.

Running the brazilean twrp "stock" (but its modified) from here, i simply installed the apk and let it do it's thing. This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-material-viper4android-2-3-4-0u-t3190352

it keeps me prompting to install every time I reboot my phone, and I have already renamed the file you guys said.
I'm getting upset with this, I can't stand this sh*tty sound quality stock Motorola rom has and I can't make viper work in my phone

I installed a new busybox and tried to install v4a again and...

Try this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2952137
I'm running marshmallux with squid kernel.

Try with squid kernel (stock ROM)

viper4android PureNexus 6.0.1

Can't seem to get the v4a driver to install correctly. Followed a few different tutorials for installing on marshmallow but none have worked. I have the latest busybox installed and SE Linux set to permissive. Any help or advice is appreciated. Running PureNexus 05/06 build.

Interesting this is the first I've heard of this mod, looks great I will try it out for sure.

I had the same problem.
You have to first install the v4a for systemlessroot v3 (final), and after that, install the latest v4a apk and
simply install that one and install the driver. by doing so it will stick, also after a reboot

The second post is what I use as well. You don't even have to worry about installing the driver since it's ready to go after flashing.

I wonder would this still work on the 3rd N preview?

The A.R.I.S.E Sound System (silly name, I know) actually has a version specifically for N. I've been using it and it works great.

Which post are you referring to here?

Set selinux to permissive (download the apk after googling), open file explorer, go to system/vendor/etc and rename the folder audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak and save. exit es explorer and reboot, go to viper and check drivers, it should now say neon enabled. worked for me!

I'm running the Sony Beats V4A one. Dolby/Atmos aren't needed when you have ViPER. It's just another app/equalizer, but both work good together. Dolby(I believe it was) has this nice feature called ' Volume Leveler ' or something. It made everything loud at the lowest level.

I've been running WETA and so far its running great. It has an aroma installer that lets you install the mods that you want and leave off the ones you don't so you can keep it close to stock.

And this.
I prefer running using Magisk v6 with the viper4 addon but Numbers is excellent as well, just waiting for WETA to support Magisk a little more cleanly before I head back to it. But if you don't use Android Pay or similar or for some other reason care about Magisk then WETA will get you up and running REALLY quickly with a great Nougat build. And it works fine with Magisk to a great extent, just a couple minor picayunes that I'm hoping will go away with time.:good:

Arise is basically Viper with Dolby Atmos. Tbh Viper is too much for me, as long as Dolby is working on stock N that has enough of an effect ,'m good to go But if you look back in the Arise thread, maybe back a week or so, i made a post saying that I finally got Viper/Dolby including SPEAKER See Speaker was something I was struggling to get to work on stock N with things like Spotify, play music, YouTube, even notifications, and some other things... basically every sound that comes out of the speakers except phone calls, unless it was via Bluetooth. Bluetooth was working overall, headphones were working overall and I even somehow found out locally stored music was working with speaker, but not those other things I had previously mentioned, was so weird. And of course it made it even more confusing bec some N users were saying it was fully working and others were in my situation.
That was until I found a post by user @SixFourSix he said to add/edit this certain file in system/etc . I went ahead and did that and after weeks of struggling, I had finally figured it out thanks to his tip. Everything was working with Viper and Atmos, those things I mentioned, except for one thing, phone calls, with Bluetooth I'm pretty sure it has an effect, but anything else with calls, for some reason, no. Don't know why. And I hadn't seen anyone comment on why. Maybe Arise isn't supposed to do that.
Yeah so go back to my posts in the Arise thread if you'd like, you'll see exactly what I mean.
Good luck

Just did a second ago. Everything working perfectly. It looks like it flashes 3 apps. I used the Viper atmos one and it is working for me. I installed busybox too. I also flashed EX kernel today earlier, not sure if that matters

I'm trying to get Viper to work with Magisk,
I tried the zip from the magisk modules thread but it's asking me to install drivers at launch (which I didn't). Also tried selinux to permissive and force v4a, but didn't get it to process the audio. I also freezed music fx, but still wasn't getting anything.
I was running a song from SoundCloud to see if v4a was working
How did you manage to make it work with Magisk

which Nexus 6P ROMs include Viper4Android?

Just like the title says, which Nexus 6P ROMs include viper4android? I have had to much trouble trying to install it on to many different ROMs already, so I'm done with that.
So far I know Dirty Unicorns has a zip they reference and V4a works fine using the zip. Which other ROMs have you used which include Viper4Android or have a stupid easy way to install it? thank you very much!

WETA ROM has it built in. The ARISE mod that the previous response suggested you flash without linking to the forum has some of the same issues as regular V4A. Try V2.5.0.5 - worked well for me.

on which ROM, WETA Audio ROM? cuz that one includes V4a already, so wouldn't be a need to flash.

As mentioned above, just flash WETA rom.
It comes with an aroma installer and you can select various combinations of audio mods.
I'm currently using it on my device WETA 8.T and its rock stable and sounds amazing

No. If you want it built into the WETA ROM, then just install it. If you want to try an older version of V4A, then I'd recommend 2.5.0.5. With V4A, you also have to take a few steps to ensure you're permissive (at least in my case) and you do a few other things.

are you sure to installed it correctly? you know its different for the nexus 6p right? you gotta delete the audio effect.conf file after you install the driver

Yes. Go to system/vendor/etc (Im pretty sure) &: delete audio effects file. Think thats where your struggle lies.
On the other hand, WETA is a pretty solid rom. I was using it for awhile.

Man....so difficult Just either use WETA ROM, or just flash the arise audio Deuteronomy 2 zip and presto done-zo. Has worked perfectly on every single ROM I've used it on and sound is phenomenal.
