Nexus 6P Viper4Android not installing

I've tried to install Viper4Android on my Nexus 6P running PureNexus Project ROM. Installing the apk, changing SELinuxModeChanger to Permissive, installing Busybox. But the drivers just won't install and said that either Busybox is not properly installed or the device isn't rooted properly. Please help me!!!

You should try installing a different version of busybox. Viper4Android doesn't like all of them the same.

Both Stericson's Busybox and other busyboxes don't work. It use to work for me, but now it doesn't.

V4A
Hi
Install v4a then when it asks you to update drivers do so. Reboot then use a file explorer to go to system/vendor/etc and then rename the audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak and save. exit the file explorer and reboot. If you got to V4A now and check drivers they should have updated.

Have you got root checker, is your phone rooted and running TWRP?
Mine is running PN and V4A works like a dream, like you say I had to set permissive settings but didnt install busybox?
I just flashed 2.4.0.1 and changed the file to .bak and was all good?
If you struggle and dont mind flashing roms Benzo has this pre installed. (Although the newest rom this week hasnt go V4A included).
Dont know what else to say?

Hey Tyler, which ROM are you using, and does it have any pre-installed sound mod like AudioFX, etc?
Did you give a try to meefik's busybox? Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox

I'm using PureNexus, and no audio mods came preinstalled.

Any opinions on the new i guess A.R.I.S.E. Viper Mod? I just flashed the june build and i usually use the viper/beats version but this seems pretty intriging. I'm assuming its a different version of some type? I use the basic profile so this gets a bit technical for me lol

I am using the same setup. And using the above listed busybox did the deal for me.

I got the drivers to stick on. I installed a flashable Busybox, and it worked.

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

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.

I've installed V4A on my phone a week ago, testing about an hour and uninstalled again. Because i love audio wizard sound settings, the sound much better than V4A on my phone (ze552kl).
You must change selinux to permissions if you want to install V4A driver, and if V4A won't work on your device, just uninstall audiowizard and audiowizardservice. made a backup first, of course.

[GUIDE] [VIPER4ANDROID] [Android 8.0.0]

Hi everybody,
I want to show you how to install Viper4android on your phone running developer preview 3 or later with Android O.
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE!!
First download the zip from Androidfilehost or from below.
Zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298967857
Busybox
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545578665
Extract it to any folder, you will have two files now, a Viper4android App and a flashable Viper4android zip.
Reboot into recovery and install the zip, I also recommend a custom kernel like the Jolla Kernel which already has Android O support for loudness control (for my Nexus 5X).
Boot normally install BusyBox and launch Viper4android.
Select install drivers, grant root permission and wait until it is installed.
If a IO Error occurrs don't worry it'll work anyway.
Reboot and open any file manager.
Delete the Viper4android folder in "/system/priv-app".
Delete "/system/vendor/etc/audio_effects".
Install Viper4android app you downloaded before.
Reboot once again and open Viper4android - driver are working now.
Tested on my Nexus 5X with Android 8 developer preview 3.
Leave a like if it helped.

Hows the exact process you wen through?

I have not implemented yet. Was wondering if anybody else had. Now using SuperSu 2.82-SR5 and TWRP 3.1.1.0. Now that TRWP works now without having to fastboot, I will try this mod. If I get it working I will let you know.

Ah k

I went through the entire procedure including deleting the system app and installing the io fix version.
The app tells me that drivers are working but i there is no difference in sound.
Turing Master power on and off dosen't seam to make any diffrence. What is going on?
