FAQ:
How do I install Viper???
Go into recovery and flash the zip. It will take care of most of the steps for you. Upon your first launch of the app you will be prompted to install drivers of your choosing then be prompted for a reboot. If coming from a previous version of Viper or you have any other sound mods I fully recommend uninstalling them. Then go into recovery and flash your ROM and the zip in one session.
Well what drivers do I use???
I recommend Super Audio quality. It uses a higher sampling rate which can be thought of as like a megapixel on a camera. More sample information equals cleaner signal but your files must be equal to or better than the driver sampling rate. I find the highs to be much cleaner and have less distortion with Super Audio. While the prompt warns about extra battery usage, testing with Better Battery Stats for me has shown the effect on battery life to be minimal. You will get higher drain using the Convolver then by choosing a higher quality driver.
Well what is Convolver and how do I use it???
Convolver will play a real time sample of an effect or eq as the sound is being processed. You can get really awesome effects from some of the irs samples but they come at a high price of battery usage. Using this setting doubled battery life usage for me on even conservative kernel governors. To enable you must go to the menu and enable Moderate or Expert UI, then press the button to enable Convolver and press Impulse Response, this will create a ViPER4Android folder on your SD card and within that you will have a folder named Kernel. This is where you will put your Irs Samples you download. You can find links to Irs packs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216193 PS......I've found that not all samples in all the packs work correctly and some will give no sound change.
HAAAAALP! This stoopit mod is killing my battery!!!
No it isn't. Unless you're using Convolver after being warned about it's effect on battery you should see little to no difference in daily use of getting notifications, texts, etc. I get about 6% an hour battery usage during music playback while streaming over bluetooth. If you're using a wired headset it should be less than that. I have never not even once seen Viper pop up on my stock battery stats and have only seen it as <1% on GSam after a full charge. Compatibility mode can be used as a last resort and final option if you're determined to call me a liar. Steps to enable it are outlined below.
This hack is ballz...I know wantz no mo???
To completely remove the changes done by my install zips you will need to do a manual wipe of system/davlik/cache to get rid of everything and then reflash ROM/Gapps/Mods. Reflashing your ROM without a manual wipe will not remove anything do to the addon.d scripts added so the zip will survive dirty flashes.
Why put the app in priv-app???
This will help to insure that Viper doesn't get killed by Android OOM to keep the sweet sound pumping into your ears!!!
My Viper isn't working!!!
Did you install by flashing the zip??? Is your apk in priv-app??? Do you have any other conflicting sound mods or eq's??? Is Viper enabled and you have installed the drivers and done a reboot??? Have you put SELinux into permissive mode???
Some people have luck adding or changing these lines in their build.prop:
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
Also some music players work better by switching to Compatibility Mode. To do that go to menu, click FX Compatible Mode, then click Compatible. Doing this should cause Viper to only modify media players instead of changing sound system wide. Some users say this helps with battery usage as Viper will only process sound when you want it to.
Still stuck? There is tons of helpful information in this thread that you can find by helping yourself click that "Search this thread" function towards the top right of your screen. Still stuck after that....ask away!
Wanted to say thanks to @rootSU and @FlyinGrub for lending a helping hand, @FuMMoD for posting updates to the Viper apk and libs, @davwman for getting this thread started, @Hid3rs for the Material Design framework, @chdloc for the awesome Stereo mix, @Spasticdroid for the audio_policy editing script, @Alex240188 for the material design Viper 2.3.4.0 apk, @//.dax for the sweet new icon. And of course the awesome Viper team for creating Viper. I refuse to run my phone without it!
Here is a link to the official thread for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
!!!!!!LOLLIPOP USERS!!!!!!!! You NO LONGER need a full permissive kernel to get Viper working as long as you use SuperSU. To test your kernel open Google Play Music and play a track. If you get a "couldn't play stream requested message" you need to download this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485] and set it to PERMISSIVE mode, find yourself a full permisssive kernel, or switch to SuperSU. Enjoy!!!!
P.S.:
LolliViPER.zip will install Viper to priv-app and remove Audio FX, DSP Manager, and Music FX. It will also edit the audio_policy.conf for added app compatibility and add a script to allow Viper to work with SELinux enforcing with SuperSU. ***BONUS for ROMs with addon.d support-the zip will place a script into addon.d that will automatically backup and restore everything changed by the zip on dirty flashes eliminating the need to flash every update so long as you do not do a manual system wipe.***
LolliViPERsurROUND.zip will install Viper to priv-app and remove Audio FX, DSP Manager, and Music FX, and change the mixer path to enable the earpiece as a second speaker for stereo sound. It will also edit the audio_policy.conf for added app compatibility and add a script to allow Viper to work with SELinux enforcing with SuperSU. ***BONUS for ROMs with addon.d support-the zip will place a script into addon.d that will automatically backup and restore everything changed by the zip on dirty flashes eliminating the need to flash every update so long as you do not do a manual system wipe.*** !!!!!THIS MAY CAUSE BOOTLOOPS ON DEVICES OTHER THAN THE NEXUS 5!!!!!
5.1.x stock ROM users may need to remove system apps for the install to work. Google filled the system partition to the brim with little to no room left for installation.
The apk in all these zips use the Material Design Framework and may not install on devices lower than 5.0.
Im using it since the start so i cant really comment on How it was before but the sound quality is awesome on my n5. Dunno but i guess The bass is a bit low so i Bad to raise it More than other EQs I've used.. I heard the KitKat DSP is pretty nice as well but as I said I can't comment on that?

V4A works well on N5 BUT:
- I sometimes have interferences when listening to my podcast audio files. I need to make some tests to know if this is due to V4A or an audio mod.
- there's no more IRS options atm and this is a shame!
- I'm going to flash OmniROM (again) and I'll only use DSP app for a few days and see what happens.

Been running Convolver with IRS samples since Nov 9th. I did notice that some were taken down but there are still some out there.
which mode are you guys using? Battery saving, high q or super quality? Also, it says, that super quality may increase battery drain.. Dont you guys know how much it takes from battery? Thanks
I'm using it on high quality. I DO notice a difference. The sound was a lot flatter before V4A. It's much more robust with it.

Super quality here. Battery usage during music is fantastic for me even streaming over bluetooth.
Super quality here. Purity Rom + Franco + PA Mini Gapps + Viper = rockin'
Not real noticeable on n5 speakers, but with good headphones it's night and day.... and my Klipsch s4's are not the best, but good enough for my listening. Some good profiles here.

I went with Battery Saver. I'm not an audiophile and all I mainly listen to are podcasts. It *does* work, you can definitely here changes when you activate features or change sliders. Using the Convolver with Urei 1178 Impluse.irs, but tried Beats and WaveMaxx .irs as well. I was a EIZO user, but when they got rid of user configurable EQ, I baled.
If you are using equalizers from within music players like Poweramp, does viper4android improve sound quality in some other way apart from offering equalizers?

You can run it in compatibility mode and it will enhance your built in eq's.
I love the .irs files and what they do to the sound. I love tube amps and I play with the different .irs tube files and you can really notice a difference. I made sure to save all the .irs files I found and I'm glad I did.

The convolver works with any of the modes as long as its turned on. Go to the "official" v4a site --> http://vipersaudio.com/blog/ and download the couple of files they have and try them out. I think the v4a developer has basically stopped all links to any .irs files and is "centralizing" them. But you know the deal, whats on the web stays on the web, so seek and ye shall find.
Has anyone gotten it to run with Rocket Player? It isn't working at all with it over headphone or speaker. Driver status processing=NO. I've tried all the workarounds and none of them have helped.
Am I just high or what? I can't find a flippin download link?

Damn! I didn't know there was different modes into the app!!! You made my day
FYI the interferences I had were not due to V4A. I changed my rom, kernel and didn't apply the audio mod and everything works fine now.
The other day I went looking for an audio DSP to use on my Shield Tablet running Lollipop. I came upon some posts recommending "Viper4Android" and went looking for a away to install it.
Here's my instructions, adapted from this article: http://www.droidviews.com/guide-viper4android-make-work-lollipop-lrx21o/
Download "TestLolliViPER_v2.3.3.0.zip" from this post (pre-Lollipop users can download ViPER4Android FX from the official thread and install the APK, skip ahead to step 5)
Change to permissive mode with SELinux Mode Changer from the Play Store (required for Lollipop, maybe for KitKat too)
Enable developer options and uncheck "Use Nuplayer" (Lollipop only)
Reboot to recovery and flash the zip you downloaded; reboot back to Android
Open Viper4Android and let it download its drivers (reboot required)
Open Viper4Android and under settings switch "FX Compatible" mode to "Compatible"
FX compatibility mode caused most apps to not use V4A. Leave it on the "Normal" setting instead.
Specific apps:
For PowerAmp, enable MusicFX under Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks, turn on "Tone/Volume". Also, switch off the Equ, Tone and Limit under Tone/Volume
For GoneMad Music Player, select "Use External DSP" under Preferences > Audio > Equalizer
Spotify appears to just work now.
Effects:
Turning on "Speaker Optimization" makes the Shields' speakers sound less tinny
Try some IRS files to imitate/replicate various bass boost, etc effects from various manufacturers
Alternatively, try some headphone correction filters (these attempt to flatten the frequency response of your headphones, making music sound the way musicians really intended it to sound)
See also the explainations for all of the settings.
I hope this works for other people. Tell me if I've made a mistake or left something out.
Thanks! will give this a try soon, what about boosting volume? I haven't seen anything for boosting volume yet in lollipop
Folks will discover this after clicking the first link: this solution requires Root. I've heard great things about Viper, and if you have your device unlocked and rooted, give it a go.

Yes, there is the "Extra Loud" option, with three strength levels.
Does this method work with Spotify? I don't think you can change audio settings via the app and don't these V4A instructions only apply on an app by app basis?
I've tried this and it doesn't appear to have any effect on the sound on my shield. Followed instructions exactly but makes no difference to sound quality regardless of what player I use.

Try playing with the settings--specifically the NUplayer toggle and the settings in PowerAmp (if you're using it). In most guides for Lollipop for V4A, it says to turn off NUplayer. But for some reason, on my other device (a G3 with CM12), I need NUplayer on. I don't have to use compatible mode on it either.
It's a stretch, especially since the OP tested his steps on this device, but I don't think it'll hurt.

I just had a try with Spotify and it seems to work with no changes required. It even opens V4A when selecting 'equalizer' in settings, so it appears to be quite aware of external DSPs.
Soundscape also has no settings for audio, but doesn't go through V4A. I don't know what to do about that, besides complaining to the company.

I was referring to Beat's claim that their bass-heavy headphones make your music sound the way the musicians wanted it to. Tyle from Inner Fidelity (who has tested many headphones with a pretty sophisticated setup) has said:
I would think most recording studios in the world use a curve called "flat." That way they know what they're hearing on the monitors is what's going onto the disc. The Audio Engineering Society is filled with engineers who write papers and learn about how to achieve a flat and neutral audio response, and then design and build the gear that goes into recording studios. I've measured four of the Beats full-size headphones, and a handful of their in-ear models, and they deviate significantly from flat.

The headphone correction files I linked to attempt to flatten the response of each headphone, making them sound more like professional-grade studio monitors (speakers) or headphones.
The V4A mod sounds great, but it seems to break streaming audio to the Shield Controller.
after Ota 3.1 upgrade Viper is not working anymore
Hi,
after exchangeing the OP5 to a Pixel 2, I noticed, that the op5 seem to have a system equalizing onboard (Sound quality via Android Auto is less punchy and less clear on the pixel 2).
Pixels seem not to equalize at all... Never the less the eqalizing on op5 was quite nice and I want to have it back, so would be nice If somebody can give me details about the OP Eqalizing. Somebody knows what it is doing? And how I can bring it to my pixel 2 in some way.. this is the only thing I'm missing from the op5.

Hello owners of Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 WiFi (chagallwifi) SM-800,
Let's save some more devices from the garbage. Here is a build for LineageOS 17.1 for SM-T800 (tested only on this device).
Tested and working so far
Wifi.
Camera (front and back).
Location.
Touchscreen.
All other sensors.
I am not aware of anything broken.
This is a plain build of LineageOS 17.1, with only minimal SELinux policy modifications to make the device work.
If you prefer to use OpenGApps, download signed-ota_update-plain.zip, if you care more about privacy and prefer a degoogled version, download signed-ota_update-microg.zip which has microG bundled in it.
Special thanks to owners of:
LineageOS: https://github.com/LineageOS
Exynos5420: https://github.com/exynos5420
Kernel source.
microG: https://github.com/microg
Guide to building LineageOS with microG: https://gist.github.com/dic1911/407184ee427c50ad0066af643a20254f

You are welcome
Great news, thanks!
Could you please clarify what you wrote about SELinux? Is it active and enforcing? Is encryption supported?

SELinux is active and enforcing, the modifications are because the default SELinux policies in LineageOS contradict with those of the device (probably because the device ones are few years old). The modifications are to remove some strict policies that would break device drivers like the camera and sensors if left enabled.
Encryption is disabled.

It's great that SELinux is on, and it is expected to have minor cuts in the policies. They are a pain to develop. It has to be a separate project...
What's going on with encryption? Forgive me for a silly question, I just see this feature missing in LOS17 ROMs for other devices as well... Is it something LOS specific?

Fair point - it has to be running at all before looking at the advanced features. For the first release it's quite a remarkable result. It would be nice to have encryption on the to do list...
Another silly question: the speakers of this tablet are not very loud. Is it difficult/possible to boost their volume a little?
Will test this out. I had flashed LOS17.1 by @8224Freak, but its SELinux is disabled. Will see if this one works same or better. Does this build contains the most recent security patch?
@minashokry thanks for the build. Camera only works with picture taking. It freezes when video recording is ended.
@minashokry I have been using your build on my T800 and likes it a lot. In addition to the camera video recording freeze, mic does not appear to work well. I tried some audio recordings but only hear tiny sound during playback. I was wondering if you are planning on updating the build once awhile to at least include new security patch., or this is it - no more update? Thanks again for build this smooth LOS17 rom for the old tablet.

Bump
Unfortunately did not get very far using either of these builds (plain or microG). In both cases, I'm unable to read or write to the internal storage on the tablet. File manager does not read any contents of the internal storage, fails to create a directory in internal storage, and can't download/save a file from the internet. The LOS 17.1 by @8224Freak does not have this problem, so assume it's something unique to these builds.
I also found that when I formatted an SD card for use as tablet storage (i.e., as an extension of the internal storage), it insists that the card is not inserted every time I power on the tablet. If I eject and reinsert the card while still powered on (no power cycle) it recognizes it and is okay from there.
Don't know if this is related to the above, but the native camera app insists that I must "Insert an SD card before using the camera" even though an SD card is plainly inserted and recognized by the rest of the system.

Hello. I've tested your ROM just out of curiosity -- encryption works! This makes your ROM the leader in security! Well done, thanks!
Apart from this... I found a fault with video rendering. At some resolutions the video renders at a wrong scale, larger than the window or the screen. This happens with different websites. I am using Brave browser, which works fine on the same device with LOS-14.1. The same rendering problem is evident in the other LOS-17.1 ROM as well (by 8224Freak). It might be codec related.
Has anyone found a way of dealing with the video rendering fault in Brave/Chrome/Firefox?
What is the link to download this rom? I can't find it anywhere in this thread.

Use the attachments to the first post "signed-ota...zip".
Thank you. Due to the file name I mistakenly thought it was just an update for the rom, not the rom itself.
Tried this ROM again (signed-ota_update-plain.zip), different screen resolutions, different screen densities - still video playback issues in browsers including Brave. The fault manifests itself as the video being zoomed in, so that only a part of it remains visible. The playback freezes for a fraction of a second occasionally, producing a "metal" screeching sound while doing it. In general this ROM feels a bit laggy. So, going back to lineage-14.1-20220107-UNOFFICIAL-chagallwifi, which feels cleaner, much faster and similar to this one has SELinux+encryption working.
Before anyone asked, the same video playback issues just without freezing I observed in lineage-17.1-20220504-UNOFFICIAL-chagallwifi, which is under active development now. The latter does not have SELinux+encryption though.
So, for now, the benchmark is set by DarkExistence for this device.

Just tried this rom, I'm pretty sure the hitching and video playback issues are because the gpu is sitting at 0% utilisation so it's using the cpu for rendering... which would explain things
