Viper4Android System Wide

Hello,
I recently clean flashed stock 5.1.1 and installed Viper4Android but I cannot seem to get it to work system wide. It works fine through play music but it won't process for youtube, etc. I am using the latest Viper4Android version, latest busybox and SELinux is permissive. I moved the apk to /system/priv-app, rebooted, installed drivers, rebooted, then started setting it up. I don't know if this is a problem with the way I set it up or if it is simply because I am using a stock ROM. I have another device with Cyanogenmod and Viper4Android processes for everything. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I also installed Viper 2.3.3 over 5.1.1 but flashed it from recovery as it was suggested in one of the XDA posts. Also flashed build.prop and lib fixes that came with it. For some reason that flash cleared davlik cache, may that's the requirement for Viper. I think Viper is OK with YouTube but it's hard to say as sound is always different. Sometimes its low. Highly promoted Vevo videos sound loud.

I managed to get it working system wide shortly after posting. I first fully removed my existing V4A installation, by uninstalling the driver, deleting data and uninstalling the app through link2sd. I rebooted and then downloaded the viperlolli zip from the nexus 5 forums, extracted it, replaced the apk with the latest version, renamed the apk folder, re-zipped and flashed. I then installed the driver, rebooted, set it up, and it is processing system wide (Youtube, Spotify, Chrome Beta, Play Music, etc). I don't know what changes the author did in the zip, but it worked wonders.

Flashing GAPPS on Stock Rooted Galaxy S8

Is it safe to flash GAPPS (arm64 - 7.0 - stock) on Stock Rooted Galaxy S8 via TWRP?

yes it is safe
yes it is possible i have renovate ice rom 7.1 with gapps arm64 stock and it works flawless. as my intention it replaces all the samsung stock apps with google and you get the fully pixel launcher, you may want to delete some stock system apps that stay on the phone with system app uninstaller (root) if you wanna know more you can contact me.

Nice, which one did you install?
I think i used open-gapps, the one with the aroma installer that lets you select stuff. I wouldn't say "flawless" but it does work. Even if you only select some apps it sets things up for all of them and so your logs get spammed for days about missing receivers and broadcast crap. I should try again but with nano gapps or something

I used the usual .zip gapps and everything works fine as it should but only the dailer app doesn't work with me. It says it needs phine permission but I can't give it because the app doesn't ask. And I can't give it that permission in the settings, but the rest no problems I uninstalled all Samsung stock apps and replaced them with gapps.

Stock dialer works fine, you just grant the permissions it needs from settings.

Xposed won't enable in PureFusionOS (13NOV2017)

I finally found a ROM for this GD phone that fully connects to my Bluetooth deck. Yay! All other ROMs besides stock and PureNexus would say "Connected (no phone). However Xposed is not working. The Xposed Installer (v3.14) says that Xposed version 89 is installed, but not active. This is my first time trying Xposed on Nougat. I've used Xposed on all previous Android versions (since the inception of Xposed). Never had this issue. The installer says to check the logs. When I tried it says that it can't read the log (no such file or directory). I'm so sick of effing with this phone. I'm still using my OnePlus One because I can't find a ROM that has fully working Bluetooth that isn't the crappy stock ROM or PureNexus (PureNexus is unfinished and abandoned). Somebody, anybody...how the eff do I get Xposed to work?
What I did:
-Full wipe (dalvik, system, data, cache)
-Flash latest PureFusion (13NOV2017)
-Flash SuperSu v2.82
-Flash OpenGapps (pico)
-First boot
-Install Xposed installer v3.14
-Reboot to recovery
-Flash Xposed v89
I've also tried using the install option from within the installer. No joy. Changed SuperSu options to be more compatible and less safe (namespace speration, trust system user, enable su during boot). No Joy.
I'm about to smash this phone with a hammer. Finally found a ROM that sorts Bluetooth and now Xposed doesn't work. Next time I'll check XDA first before buying a phone to check the current status of development.
Edit: I'd like to avoid using Magisk if possible. I can't remember which root apps, but there are some that don't work with Magisk (last I checked).
Edit 2: Tried the following without success. Exact same results. A msg on the status screen saying Xposed is installed but not active:
-Unity version of Xposed
-Magisk 14.0 + systemless Xposed framework
-Probably something else I'm forgetting
I created the missing log file and gave it the appropriate permissions but nothing ever got written to it. I suppose I could do a logcat but I can't be bothered. If Xposed doesn't work out of the box for this particular ROM I'm not going any further with it. I posted this question in the ROM thread as well.

Try Magisk 14.0, install the module, download the modified apk from the module download tab, install the app, see if it works
Edit: I just read the last line, sorry
that is the only thing that i've thought about. Stock is the other way around, normal method works but topjohnwu's module doesn't. But Magisk xposed worked on every custom ROM I've used.

I would have ultimately tried Magisk anyways if all else failed. I will try later. Probably tomorrow. If it works I'll call it solved and you get the prize.

Nah don't want any price. a thank is enough
Which are the apps that don't work with Magisk?

@Doc Ames: it's probably just the ROM you've chosen. I've tried lots of Lineage/AOSP ROMs for the A7, Xposed has worked flawlessly in all of them.
My setup:
Vertex Carbide
Hellsgate EAS kernel, with data and cache formatted as F2FS
Phh's Superuser, for root
Busybox 1.27.2 by YashadSaraf
Xposed v89 official
No GApps, except MicroG and Play Store
I try to avoid Magisk, it's a nice concept, but systemless is more trouble than it's worth. Magisk has caused me tons of issues. I've tried it off and on for months but I keep switching back to good ol reliable Phh. I stopped using SuperSU ever since it was bought by an Asian (Chinese?) company.
Good luck!

I don't remember. If for some reason I have to use Magisk maybe I can find replacement apps.

Thank you for the suggestion. The issue is that there is no other ROM for the A7 (save PureNexus and stock ROMs) that will properly connect to my Bluetooth deck. I was trying to pursue a solution to the Bluetooth issue with custom ROMs for the A7 but it affects such a small number of users that nobody seems to think it's an issue. I tried the ROM you are using and had the above mentioned Bluetooth issue. I've tried a ton of ROMs. I'd rather get a fix to the Bluetooth issue so I can use whatever ROM I want. However, I posted a question about my Bluetooth issue and everybody just gave me the whole, "It's working on my machine. Must be your deck."

@Doc Ames: Well sorry to know that you're essentially forced to used a specific rom just to get your Bluetooth deck working. I don't use Bluetooth for anything but transferring files, that's worked in every ROM I've tried. But I have had issues in the past where a certain device would work on one ROM but not on another. It could be a ROM issue, or maybe an issue with the Bluetooth device you're using. Maybe a combo of both. I'm not a dev so there's nothing I can do except be sympathetic. Maybe you can elevate your issue with A7 devs so they can maybe look into whether there are underlying Bluetooth issues in their ROMs that need to be resolved. If the deck didn't cost too much, you might want to look into selling it and getting a more known, compatible deck that works with most ROMs. I guess it all just depends on how much it's worth to you to be able to run whatever ROM you want without worrying about whether your deck will work.
Good luck!

@Doc Ames,
If you haven't yet, give the UNITY Xposed package (by @ahrion) a try. On my G3 I had nothing but troubles trying to get Xposed and ParanoidAndroid working. With UNITY everything came together to my surprise.
Also just flashed it tonight on the Axon B32 stock. Far as other ROMs go I've used both unofficial and official Xposed on various ROMs like VertexOS and Dark ROM without issue.
I too stay away from Magisk so I can't speak to any of the systemless installers.

Latest Magisk and SafetyNet on Stock N

Hello guys,
Please accept my apologies if this topic was asked/discussed in other threads. I was unable to find an answer to this question with my searches.
For a while now, I have noticed that Magisk fails SafetyNet on Nougat stock ROM. If my memory serves me, it started with v16.0 and now with beta ver. 16.2 the issue is still ongoing.
Has anyone found a way to pass SafetyNet for stock ROM?
P.S. I have noticed that in Magisk Manager settings, the option "Magisk Hide" disables itself after reboot, I assume something prevents it from working properly (???).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Catalin D

I've been having the same issue and got no solutions other than using 15.3.

Better than no solution at all!
I can confirm the same results. I went ahead and tried all versions from 15.3 to 16.3 - only 15.3 works.
Unfortunately that version is lacking something for me at least... Have you been able to get modules working in 15.3?
They fail to install directly from Magisk Manager. When I try to do it manually in TWRP, I get no errors but the modules are not there when I boot back into the system.
There's clearly some problems we're having that other devices aren't... And the fact that these problems seem to be handled silently doesn't help.

I am also using 15.3 magisk with 5.5.5 manager and I have no issues. I have systemiser, debloater, busybox, greenify. the only mod that seems to be not working îs YouTube vanced. I uninstalled the system YouTube and the mod seems unable to install its version.

Works fine here w/ same Magisk & Manager.
try this: Uninstall Vanced. Reinstall YouTube, but freeze it after install. Reboot. Redownload & install Vanced. Reboot. Unfreeze original YouTube & profit. Goodluck.

there's an even easier fix. Usually Vanced (iYTBP) doesn't work because there are two installs of Youtube (on /system/app and on /data/app) and it only replaces the one in /system. The solution is to deactivate auto-updates, then use a file manager (i recommend root browser all the way) to delete the /data/app/com.google.youtube folder (or however it is called, but the one that has the youtube apk inside).
and of course reboot after that

Whatever the problem was, it seems to have been fixed in the beta released today. (version name 16.4 - version code 1642) Working great.
Looking at his (topjohnwu's) changelog, it seems he made a ton of structure changes and improvements regarding MagiskHide, so it's no surprise this got fixed in the process.
May Magisk and the Axon 7 live long and prosper!

modules flashed on Magisk not showing up after immediate reboot.

Hi i'm new to this site and a newbie to ROMs and stuff. I flashed Viper4android fx legacy from Magisk and after rebooting my Asus zenfone max pro m2(LineageOS 16) the app still doesn't show up.
I've downloaded a couple of modules from Magisk and they all work just fine but when it comes to audio mods it's not showing up after flash(downloaded James DSP, same result as Viper).
I downloaded Ainur Narsil and Audio Modification Library too. Do they cause any problems(it said legacy device detected)? Either way i don't feel any difference.
Tl;Dr: Magisk Flashed audio mod not showing up after reboot.
P.S: are there any better audio mods?

This video helps i think give it a try
