Are there any working fixes for viper4android not working on the Pro 5/Flyme 5?

I have been looking all over the place for a working solution to fixing the dreaded "install drivers" loop on my pro 5 and haven't found anything that works! Just wondering if anyone has heard anything or managed to get v4a to work.

Use latest driver and first disable/freeze music fx App then install stericon busybox then install your driver
---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------
After all don't use naive music app

does not work
i try and try and try but nothing to do, V4A doesn't work. I hope that someone on XDA create and apk and not a zip to flash, that give us the permission to install those type of application on OS without custom recovery.

SELinuxMod Changer
Anyone tried installing SELinuxModeChanger and setting it to Permissive mode?
I'm thinking about moving from an xperia z3c to a Pro 5 and would want to know if this solves the issue with some users not being able to run v4a.
Basically, on the z3c, I needed 3 things (plus Root ofc):
- v4a apk or flashable zip (but I was lazy and used the apk from playstore)
- busybox
- SELinuxModeChanger (set to Permissive)

Fine Let's Start.
If you are on cm skip all until the cm section
Supported kernel list and known errors/bugs see second post
Step 1
- Flash full Factory Images.

Step 2
- Install Android 7 ROM by tupac4u / or any other rom / or leave stock
- Reboot //if nessesairy
Step 3
- Flash ElementalX's N Kernel.
- Flash Viper5.0_Stock.zip in Recovery / or any other viper
- Reboot.
Step 4
- Install driver.
- Open File Explorer and delete /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf
- Reboot.
Step 5
- Set enforcing to permissive (You have to do it at every Reboot!).
- In Viper open Menu->FX-CompatibleMode->yes // you can try without, it may work
- Enjoy Viper.
CM Section
1. Flash arise sound mod ( link down below )
2. And IMPORTANT flash super su
3. Disable audio fx and reboot
SPOTIFY FIX

Unsupported Rom/Kernel
Kernel:
- Stock
- Jolla
ROM:
F.A.Q.
Q: Spotify isn't working with that
A: Force enable Viper4Android and turn FX Mode to compatible. Then restart both applications.
Q: Why ElementalX Kernel?
A: That's the only Kernel who works with Viper except Stock kernel. Elite Kernel may also work but it hasent been updated since the Dev Previews.
Q: Is that also working with the stock rom?
A: Yup. Also works with (nearly) any stock based ROM.

Is there a definite way of checking if it's working? Not by sound?

Yes, just check driver status in viper when something is playing in the background. If it says 'processing', then it's working.
Btw, why would I need custom kernel for viper?

I found that it isn't working on jolla Kernel and Stock.

Did you enable viper in app itself?
Not sure, but maybe you need to enable it on order to see 'processing'..
Did the installation of driver went well?

use a file exlorer with root privileges like es or root explorer and go to /etc/init.d directory, create a file and named "08setperm" (without quotes) and add the below lines in the file and save it..
#!/system/sh
setenforce 0
And give full permission (rwxrwxrwx)
reboot and you should be good. if for some reason your init.d script doesn't launch then download and install universal init.d tool and enable it.

Nice that someone is trying to get Viper4Android to work on Nexus 5x with Android 7.0 (Nougat). Sadly it does not work, tried your way but it does not enable me to get Viper4Android to work in Spotify.
Selinux is in permissive, your viber4android package is in place, audio_effects.conf removed, Android 7 by tupac4u installed and complete factory image installation before all this. No go..
Viper4android driver status does not complain but processing is always "no".

Try some other app like play music, v4a won't work on all apps if they have their own equalizer.

For those who want to use Viper4android with Spotify change fx compatible Mode to compatible in Viper settings. Then Open Spotify and go to Settings->Equalizer that should bring up Viper. Select Force enable and close Viper and Spotify. Open up both again and Boom Viper is there.

How find Android 7 by tupac4u ??
EDIT.
I found him already

Idk if this will work on the new version, but this zip I've attached here sets the previous ElementalX-N5x-1.17 kernel permissive permanently. I'm not on nougat yet, waiting for Xposed.

[V4A] Viper4Android I/O Error (Driver Installation Failure) [FIX]

Hey everyone! I seem to have found put together 3 methods of installing/bypassing the V4A App on android. These methods include:
Regular Installation, and 2 Error bypasses/fixes.
If you get the error "superuser manager doesn't allow app to access su or you don't have root at all. fix this to use this selinuxmodechanger!", then you've come to the right place.
Requirements: ROOT, (maybe) TWRP (or anything you can flash the zip onto your phone with. With this tutorial I'll be using TWRP.)
If you don't have TWRP, here's the link to that \\ https://twrp.me/Devices/
Type in/select your device, click download, and flash it to your phone.
====================================================================================
Regular installation:
1.) Download V4A from Google Play Store \\ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android_v2_fx&hl=en
2.) Open, and grant root permission.
3.) Install drivers, and reboot phone. DONE!
==================================================================================================
V4A SuperSU Manager Error:
1.) Download V4A from Google Play Store (the newest one) \\ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android_v2_fx&hl=en
Open it, grant permissions, click "install drivers" <- just get through the driver menu. This is a troubleshoot test. If it fails, keep going on with the tutorial. If not, You're A-Okay.
2.) Download V4A Flashable ZIP from here \\ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By-5wpCgi7OHMjFZRU1PYXljbDQ/view
Drag and drop from your computer onto your phone in your "Downloads" folder.
3.) Open TWRP and click "Install" and navigate to your "Downloads" folder where you Installed the V4A Flashable ZIP (Viper4AndroidMM_v2.4.0.1.zip)
Install the ZIP in TWRP, and reboot.
4.) Open your apps/app menu, navigate to the new (it's an older version, but it's newly installed) V4A. It should be a purple logo instead of a blue logo. At this point in the tutorial, you should have both the Google Play Store APK, and the TWRP Flashed APK. Open the PURPLE V4A, and Install drivers now.
5.) Reboot phone, go to the NEW (blue logo) V4A, and install drivers on that one too.
The rest is clean-up. You may now delete the older version of V4A (purple logo).
========================================================
Bypass/fix #2, The SELinuxModeChanger issue:
1.) Download V4A (newest version) from \\ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android_v2_fx&hl=en
2.) (Grant root access) Attempt to install drivers. If this succeeds, then Idk why you're still here.
3.) Download SELinuxModeChanger APK from \\ http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506
4.) Open it, grant root access, and click "Permissive".
5.) Re-boot phone, and open V4A when done.
6.) Install drivers!

my head unit doesn't have vendor/etc or the audio effects configuration file....

Thanks
I had the Viper.apk from their website and the Google play version loaded also and I was getting the I/O error when trying to load the driver and the Google Play version didn't work at all. I did try to load SuperSU and busybox before attempting to load the driver again and it still didn't work. I don't know about permissive kernel, I'm running Resurrection ROM on a Rooted Note 3. The way I got this to work was to uninstalled the V4A Viper APK version that I had retrieved and loaded from their website. Next I booted into TWRP recovery and installed the V4A Flashable ZIP from the link that I found here. Next I ran the flashed version and granted SU permissions when asked during the install driver process. The driver finally loaded and bingo it works now.

You have to rename file before opening V4A app for the first time, now you rename it before or after flashing no matter,

Viper4android driver status abnormal.

Use the guide as in that post (the same can be also found in the XDA V4A general thread):

There is actually an easier way to fix Viper4Android, follow the original post where the fix was described:
[APP][ALL ROOT SOLUTIONS][6.0+]ViPER4Android FX 2.7
ViPER4Android FX By pittvandewitt and MrWhite214 Introduction Many users are enhancing their smartphone audio experience with the popular ViPER4Android software, but some of us have a hard time installing the driver or they don't like the look...
forum.xda-developers.com
In other words, replace (use TWRP or root explorer like MiXplorer)
/data/adb/modules/ViPER4AndroidFX/post-fs-data.sh
with the attached file (download and unzip) and reboot
Still make sure that Legacy mode in V4A Settings is enabled
AML module makes no harm but it's not needed (unless you install additional audio modules like mi9tpbitrate320.zip)
---
In case of installing V4A from scratch:
- install ViPER4Android_FX-v2.7.2.1.zip from Repo (through Magisk) and reboot
- open Viper4Android app and let it install the driver, it will reboot
- replace post-fs-data.sh as above and reboot once again
- open Viper4Android app and enable Legacy mode in its Setrings
- also, don't forget to enable Master limiter for e.g. speaker or headphones
Check the driver status, it must show Status Normal (and Processing Yes when playing nusic)
---
I have Xiaomi.eu A11 beta and I regularly update every week when they release (by dirty flashing their new MIUI zip release, wiping Dalwik and Cache and by flashing the new boot img patched by Magisk)
Up to the two weeks ago I had to re-do the relatively complicated procedure for V4A as was described in this thread upon every Xiaomi.eu update
Since two weeks ago when I replaced the post-fs-data.sh as described above, I just dirty flash Xiaomi.eu, apply root/Magisk, and my V4A continues to work as my all other installed Magisk modules (and root apps), with no needs to fix the V4A driver anymore
PS: This 'new' method with the modified post-fs-data.sh is specifically useful for Magisk Canary 22006 since Magisk 22006 has a known bug with processing the sepolicy.rule files (also in /data/adb/modules/ViPER4AndroidFX), and hence the 'old' method from this thread does not work with Magisk 22006 - but the 'new' method does work (I currently use that Magisk 22006)

In the thread I gave you the link, use of AML was also described. But I'm no more using AML and cannot/won't support you about
In my previous post there is s link to my post with the guide using post-fs-data.sh (sorry, I'm not going to send the link again)
Click on that post and inside you will find post-fs-data.zip.
It was described in details, so once again but only shortly here:
- download the zip, extract post-fs-data.sh
- use your favorite root File Manager (like MiXplorer - google on XDA to find its thread and installation if needed) or use TWRP, Advanced, its File Manager (again, google if needed to learn how to use).
Anyway, those skills and tools will be useful for you in future if you decided to go with Magisk, its modules, etc
- go to /data/adb/modules/Viper4Android FX and rename the existing post-fs-data.sh to post-fs-data.bak (just in case) and paste instead the post-fs-data.sh you extracted from my zip (see screenshot)
-reboot
- open V4A app, go to its settings and enable Legacy mode (again, see the screenshots in my post with the guide)

Zip attachement was there, you have to go to that post and scroll down through the whole post, it was the last attachement (scrollshot below, click to open and scroll down, it's very long)
Do not read just my post there but study the whole thread and you will see that bobod made it working without Legacy mode on Mi 9T (Pro or not Pro). Google for the general V4A thread on XDA and you will see that most of users/phones can only work with Legacy mode. If you don't like, don't use V4A. Btw, what's wrong with, besides that is called 'legacy'

Magisk 25.1 for Fire TV

As current and all previous Magisk releases can break any fire tv on update from manager, I made custom build of Magisk 25.1 for Fire TV
Releases GitHub URL
Changes:
- Manager doesn't have direct install / update options
- Dark theme by default
- Amazon orange color for default and AMOLED themes
- Grant root permission by default
- Fix issue of enabled Zygisk with Xposed Framework
- Change version to 25.1.FTV (25777)
Fixes:
- fix D-PAD navigation on Grant / Deny root dialog
- fix D-PAD navigation on Log section
- fix D-PAD navigation on Zygisk DenyList
- fix D-PAD navigation on Reboot button after flash
Install:
- Install APK (uninstall previous Manager version if exist 1st),
- Rename apk to zip and flash from TWRP recovery
Have fun!
p.s. maybe someday devs will apply those changes to source, now they call it "offtopic"

Hey, it hangs at CHECKING for digest. Magik 23.0 worked before. Any idea?

Isn't to grant / deny root access with the remote working by default for fireTV devices?
Never saw a problem like that, for tank/sheldon/mantis/sloane, works fine here!?

It works on Android 9, but on Mantis (4K with 7.1.2) dialog worked with Magisk 20.4 (old manager) and broken (don't have any focus so user can't press any button in it) with any Magisk 21+ and new Manager GUI

hm, it's apk from studio, tesed it on TWRP from Fire TV 4K and it installs fine. Try to disable digest check in TWRP options.

Im on sloane and disabling digets check doesnt change anything. I ve read that 24.3 is problematic for sloane. 23.0 works tho

Hi,
I'm on 4K stick and I have Magisk 24.3 installed (apk from their github).
If I want to switch to this I have to uninstall current Magisk Manager even if I flash from TWRP?
BTW: guys on magisk github page asnwer really bad to your suggestion, no reason to do that
The manager UI is not tv-friendly so it's really easy to press update by mistake. It was the 1st thing I though when I saw it after installation...

You need to uninstall Manager in any case because app signature differs. After install you need o flash apk renamed to zip from recovery to match daemon / apk signatures. Magisk in 1s post updated to v25.0.FTV.

So the steps are:
uninstall current magisk-manager version
download and rename your .apk to .zip
reboot to twrp and flash the zip
reboot the system
is it correct?

hiding the app is not working propertly. if i generate a new app it fails to load and want to download full manager again.

Yes, probably it's some kind of bug in Magisk. When hiding, Magisk replaced with stub app, which download full apk from https://github.com/tsynik/Magisk/releases, but failing to load it's classes and initialize app context.

Hello tsynik
I flashed this version, but never granted su permissions .
The Magisk Mannager is missing in fireOS.
When reinstall, it crashes and disappear .
Can you give me instructions on how to uninstall this version?
thanks

What I did was to rename .apk to .zip, flash with twrp. manager was not to be found on apps. then I manually installed the .apk and it appeared on apps.

I am having the same issue
BTW to uninstall rename the apk to uninstall.zip then flash it in twrp

I have a tank (2nd gen stick) with latest firmware (5.2.9.5 at time of writing)
Now that Magisk v26 has dropped support for android 5, it would be wise to release a final version for old fire sticks.
Anyway the UI does not start at all, both on your fork and on the original v25.2 . (and, both of them do not remember superuser permissions - they get asked every time)

I just tried to flash Magisk v26.1 via TWRP. FireOS6 (mantis - FTV4K)
First fresh Kernel followed by Magisk v26.1.zip.
All seams to work but I noticed that the repacking step went unusual fast!
After rebooting and updating Magisk app to v26.1 it seams to work.
But now I get after a fresh start/reboot a warning message in Magisk app that an reflash is necessary!
I now went back to 25.2 (again Kernel + Magisk.zip) and all is good again.
I do not know what happens here or if something went wrong or if 26.1 is not fully compatibe to FireOS6 (Android 7)...
Anyway - Just wanted to let you all know.
