Hello fellow J5 users
I have rooted my phone and I'm trying to get ViPER4Android mod working but I'm unable to do so. I tried searching forums here but our device doesn't have an forum page yet I hope the moderators/admins make one soon :angel: .
So far I've installed as instructed and tried troubleshooting as instructed too but nothing seems to work, the installation is breeze but the drivers for V4A don't install. The status is abnormal. Driver version is 2.3.4.0
I followed every instruction on ViPER4Android page for installation on Galaxy devices, they don't seem to solve my problem. I also tried other method i.e replacing audio_effects.config with a another config which worked on S6 Edge but that doesn't to seem work as well. So I've restored the original config. No worries here! :laugh:. I read somewhere this has something to do with kernel and SELinux status which is 'Enforcing' . There's no custom kernel available which has SELinux set to permissive. If anyone has got the V4A working on our device please help me out
Edit : I searched around forums and found a way get the V4A working on Stock kernel of Samsung J5 even if the SELinux Status is set to Enforcing. You will just have to flash a zip with a custom recovery (I used TWRP made by @CTXz) and Voila! This flashable will work on any device too (not fully sure though).
Page for the zip : Click here [Navigate to post #18854]
The zip was provided by maximumentropy
you need app SElinux mode changer.. i installed that and work for j5 with viper4android
the link doesn't work can you please provide tpoic tittle
Clicked the link but says error. Can you please provide the link again and also the name of the provider and the title of the post so i can advance search it.. And the zip you are taking or giving about is it a custom kernel
Please update your links. I am a fan of Poweramp, but want to give V4A a try.
Thanks.

I just noticed that the link from "Page for the zip" had an extra "http//", that's why it didn't work

Hello everybody,
I really need help to install viper4android in samsung galaxy A800I.
I`ve tried several time with several tricks. but can`t yet. It always asks for installing driver.
here are the device profile :
Device = Samsung Galaxy A8 (A800I)
Chipset = Exynos 5433
Rom = Stock 5.1.1 with stock kernel (latest update)
SE for Android Status = enforcing
Rooted = yes (with Supersu).
Busybox = yes (stericson) with run parts.
Init.d support = yes and working (With Test.Log file in /data folder)
Permissive.zip = Installed
Viper supolicy.zip = installed
Selinuxmode changer = tried,but didn`t work
Viper fix 1.1 by Dr.ketan = Installed
Samsung Knox = Unistalled (Through TB)
Xposed = Working flawlessly
root Explorer = Installed
Sd-fix = Installed
Terminal Emulator = Installed (applied all commands for making setenforce = 0)
Music Player Used = google Music Player, gonemad music player, Poweramp etc
** Adapt sound and Sound alive apps are disabled (Through TB)
** I`ve tried other Viper audio (Moded) from this forum, but didn`t work.
These are the things I do for installing viper4android successfully.
But can`t yet.
I`m a viper fan and I used it from my first smart device.
Would anybody pls help me to fix this viper issue ? What did i miss ?
BTW, I think Viper is not working (installing the driver) only because of Selinux mode is "enforcing". And I`ve tried my best to make it permissive (for last 2-3 days). But can`t. Can anybody pls make a kernel patch which makes the it "permissive". I want stock kernel (maybe patched or modified, but no custom kernel), as perticular this build gives me excellent battery life and no heating or any other issues.
So, it would great if anybody help me to fix this issue.
Regards
Micheal86.

Its actually very difficult to install V4A with SELinux enforcing, despite several claims of it working with enforcing.
Also know tht there's no fixed method to install V4A. One has to keep trying different methods
These are the things u cld try ("REMEMBER TO TAKE A BACK UP OF YOUR ROM BEFORE TRYING THIS"):-
Here it goes:-
1) Search the post of member AndrasLOHF on viper4android.
U'll find the zips on the 236th page of this post.
2) Another post tells u to flash the following two zips :-
"Viper4A-_Soundfix-LibFiles_-CWM.zip" & "Viper4A-_Build.Prop-Tweaks_-CWM.zip", alongwith flashing V4A zip.
3) U cld also try the post , Viper4Android Working on S6 Edge.
Hopefully, one of these might work.
Best of Luck :good:
P.S - I'm using A7 & not A8 but the above posts are not meant to work on one particular model, so u can certainly try.

Thanks mate for your reply.
i`ll try these things and give feedback.
But one thing I want to share with you that I was trying to install viper4android for last 3 - 4 days. but can`t. I`ve searched and googled to fix this issue. And interestingly I`ve found that the main thing behind this is Samsung Knox. Knox makes it impossible to do anything beyond security. It doesn`t allow to make Selinuxmode to permissive and most probably for that reason we can`t install viper and any other mods. I`m trying to remove/uninstall knox with several ways and tricks, but can`t do yet.
It is possible if we can make a patch or modify the stock kernel. But I can`t do this because I don`t know how to do this .
BTW, do you have any idea ?
Thank you once again.

I'm very sorry but I'm not a dev, Just a fan of V4A.
I can certainly tell u tht knox can be removed, after rooting, using "uninstall system apps" app without any effect on the installation of V4A.
I've successfully installed V4A on my S4 (korea model) & now on A7(Indian model), by removing knox just from this app. So Knox should not be a worry.
There is a custom kernel compiled by @ashyx. Its a selinux permissive, rooted kernel.
the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam.../kernel-permissive-ll-5-11-kernel-sm-t3312817.
Credit goes to Ashyx for the compilation.
All the best!!!

Thanks mate.
you`re really very helpful.
I too really love viper very much.
I`ll try your procedures to install Viper, and give you the feedback.
Thanks for the link. I want stock (modified, only set to permissive and nothing else, because this build is really excellent for battery life) kernel.
BTW, need some more information.
1. Does viper (driver status) shows "Processing - Yes" (in your both devices) ? Because it`s very important for sound effects.That`s why I`m asking.
2. Which apps you`ve uninstalled for removing knox from your devices ?
3. Which version of viper4android are you using ?
BTW, What is the actual name of this app ? Is it System app remover ? Because I do`nt find the app you recommended.

Development for A-series models have just started (as u can see from the forum ), so you might not find stock kernel with selinux permissive for the time being.
But you can always try that custom kernel and see if it helps your purpose
I've attached a screenshot of V4A installed in A7(2016) with processing "Yes".
I'm using the latest version of V4A(2.4.0.1).
Now, regarding the app, the link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
I've used it to remove Knox and have not faced any problems in V4A installation because of Knox.
If u want further cleaning, you can use "root explorer" or "es file explorer" to delete knox completely.
If you still are unable to install V4A, just share your installation steps.
I'll try to help
If you are an audiophile and fan of V4A just like me, you will have to keep trying the different methods of installation

Thank you so much.
I`ve (we) done it.
Viper4android is working in A8. Thanks mate for giving me the links and ideas. It`s also working with "processing = yes".
Yes, I`m too an audiophile an a fan of viper like you. that`s why I was trying it for last 6 - 7 days.
I`m using Viper 2.3.4.0 ( With the help of the S6 Edge thread).
sorry file attaching with XDA feature doesn`t work with my browser for some days. that`s why I can`t upload any screenshots.
Ok. I`ve got the app.
Actually I wanted to know that which system files (names of the files) you`ve removed to remove knox from your device ? I`ve tried to remove all the knox related files through root explorer, but it didn`t work (got bootloop). That`s why I`m asking ?
BTW, I agree with you. The A series (specially A8) has nearly no development. A8 is a 2015`s phone , but there is not a single custom rom, no mods, no stock modified kernel. I don`t know why no Devs are intersesting about this series ? I`m not a dev and a very ordinary member of XDA and love android. I`ve tried to make a custom(stock) rom and I`ve made it (Pre-rooted, Deloated, Zipaligned, with build prop and CSC tweaks) . But it doesn`t boot. It always stucks with the samsung Logo with non secure kernel message with red color. I think its all about the kernel (boot img). I`ve searched Xda and googled for help. I`ve tried my best .But got no fruitful result yet.
Anyway thank you once again.

glad I could help
Using the uninstaller app, just scroll down the "system apps" list & you can uninstall all the knox icons that you see. There are many files without any icon. Read them and you will find few files related to knox. Uninstall those files too.
Now, You should not find knox-related problems :good:

Hi , I downloaded the CM 14 Android Nougat From the other Thread for My SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND PRIME SM-G530H. It's running perfectly for me till date.
But I found a feature to be missing. It is the Theme Engine that comes prebundled in the previous versions of CyanogenMod. But in this Build , I found it to be missing. I'm a big of fan of theming the device , But in this version , I can't just do it. I tried Theme Engines of Older versions like CM 12 & CM13 But they didn't work because of the Compatibility.
I have been searching the internet for long to find the version for nougat , but didn't find a thing. I'm sure the feature is included and the developer just forgot to include it while cooking the ROM .
So Can anyone Upload the Extracted Theme engine for Nougat or add the Link which it can be download ?.....Any Help would be appreciated ??

Yes Indeed , Substratum really causes system instability , But I have not experienced any instability till now , But No Promises that I won't experience any Instability . Well , It's the best alternative for Theme Engine , And If you know any better alternatives , Please add it.
i have got a very promising hint that Samsung could let use have AOD on s6/edge
bcoz there is no way a sideloaded app would be let to create a new SECTION in display settings as ALWAY ON DISPLAY without rooting,but unfortunately its force closed.
another hint is AOD version 1.7.46
the only apks seems to work on s6 is 1.7.46 and the apks before this version would not even install on s6
i myself has installed the apks and the great thing is it created aod section in display settings u can see them in screenshots included
i might be wrong
How did you get that ?! What firmware do you run ?
Got it myself too on 7.0 vodafone branded firmware but force-closes for me...Couldnt we decompile and make it work?
The 7.0 (2.X.X.X) apps for AOD service wont install because there is already a service with that name...so samsung took care of that...this is bull****. Cant we rename the app and sign it?

You need a kernel that supports AOD. There are some custom ROMs that allow it but its buggy

Works pretty good on Nemesis ROM
Ah , we all know miui 8 beta 6.7.21 had a feature called app invisible to hide apps installed on the phone. but later on it was removed .
I downloaded the whole rom package and search every corner of the rom but couldn't find any such app in the rom package . Perhaps it seems , it was some kind of coded sort of thing which I am unable to understand . If anyone of you could help me to have the feature again on my miui 9 beta , I would really be thankful (not only I , but many other redmi 2 prime users too want the same .)
I am ready for any experiment to be done on my redmi 2 prime for that feature . (except that I can't move out from miui rom).
