Viper4Android is working though a bit tricky to enable in Android 10. The only reason I keep rooting phones.
You can follow below guide for step by step instructions.

I believe it is as long as you don't pull out too much bass which might clip or distort the sound.
Some phones come with a weak volume setting by software, that might result in a compressed sound the higher you push up which I don't like, so better have your mixers_patch or whatever it is now to manually set the value as loud as you like.

For me it worked pretty straight forward on my N986N.
Did you use the patched kernel provided by Dr Ketan to root your device?
Did Viper ask to grant permissions at first launch?

he removed it and put news instructions, to create own which I did
But ur model is N986N - its different than 9860
got Viper working after re-rooting
Download latest Viper4Android
Install - When it ask to download drivers, DONT
Open Magisk and install Audio Modifications Library
Open Viper4Android again
This time press OK > Give rights > Let it install driver
Reboot ( Mine did it 3 times to install ) but it did
After that check the status > Mine was Processing = NO
You can test by playing audio and pick headphone etc and see if Status Changes
Mine did not so I followed XDA post abt this
Steps are ( Need Root Exploer )
Goto data/adb/modules/aml/system/etc and give RW permissions to audio_effects.conf - MOVE it to data/adb/modules/aml/vendor/etc
Reboot and is all good
I've not needed to root in YEARS, Last Samsung phone I rooted was the S7. What are the advantages these days? obv I'd lose Knox secure folder, which is shall we say handy and Samsung Pay. Last I checked Google Pay worked using MagiskHide module part of Magisk
Viper4android is working with no tricks
Everything else
does this phone work on verizon? 4g?
i don't care about 5g.

Hello there
I have managed to get fix Arabic on GB 4.5.91, through patching and compiling framework.jar and libwebcore.so.
This will work on every rom that is based on AT&T 4.5.91.
Here is how to patch your phone:
Manually
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download GBArabic.zip attached and extract it on your phone.
3)Now using Root Explorer or any other root file mangers.
Copy framework.jar to /system/framework/ and fix the permissions
Copy libwebcore.so, libicuuc-arabic.so and libandroid_runtime.so to /system/lib/, and fix the permissions
Be sure that you set permission for all, or you will stuck in bootloop.
4) Reboot and enjoy.
or
CWM Flashable File
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download CWM-Arabic.zip attached and place it on your phone.
3)Boot into the recovery, and flash the file.
4) Reboot and Enjoy
p.s.
I am quite new here in the forum. So I couldn't post this on the Dev Forum.

Added CWM zip file
Arabic Files for CherryBlur v1.4d Rom ( it's based on ORFR and not working with At&t)
http://www.mediafire.com/?zd93z9leslz6wtc ... tested by me
Thanks Jack,
Does the Browser and Gmail show Arabic correctly in ORFR?
If it worked, I will update my post.
If not, could try and use my libwebcore.so on your phone, and report back to me?
no it's doesn't support the browser
and sorry I changed the rom and can't test the new files
Successfully Installed - CWM Version
Just flashed the CWM file. Working on Alien ROM.
Works perfectly (RTL needs some alignment "observed in Facebook App only"). Donation is on the way! Extra ordinary work and Cheers!

Glad to hear that, it worked with you.
As for the Facebook App, I can't really help as I do not use the app .
Anyway,

copied the files manually while half asleep, seems that I've messed up ... was stuck in the boot screen, downloaded the automated installation file, applied it and now it works perfectly !
RTL is still not right in gmail messages, but that's super low priority

What you did wrong the first time, is that you haven't set up the permission, but hey you were half sleep I won't blame you .
I just noticed the alignment of Gmail, and droidace says it happen on Facebook.
It seems that these two apps, use different files to show alignment than the browser.
I will take a look at it.
Thanks for reporting, and hope you enjoy it.

How did you update to 4.5.91 ? official update, SBF, OTA, other ? I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
how did you root/deodex ?
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Thanks mdd5
Hello Ramy, and welcome.
Since you are new here, I will encourage to take a look at THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!!

Now to answer your questions,
ramy_Maia said:
How did you update to 4.5.91 ?
I did update to 4.5.91, by unlocking the bootloader and flashing one of the roms here on dev section, not official.
I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
Everything is safe as long as you follow the guide.
many of the bricks happen here is because people updated to .91 using official then tried sbf to an older version.
When you update using official, you can't flash an older version.
how did you root/deodex ?
As of now, the only way to have root and deodex on .91 is by flashing unofficial ROMs
So you will need to unlock the bootloader and flash one.
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Your question are not dumb, I was just like a couple of weeks ago.
However, it is better to ask questions like this in Atrix 4G Q&A forum, so you get better answers and faster than here. You can also use search

Did the new update of facebook fixed that issue?? It seems that it is fixed now.
mdd5,
I picked up your comment on my blog and I wanted to let you know that I added your Atrix GB libwebcore.so to my blog with a special note to you. If you would mind that for any reason, please let me know and I'll remove the link and recompile the sources myself.
Great work. I'm glad to see people using my blog and the sources to get Android arabized
Options of Arabic Fonts
Not really sure if there is an option to change the Arabic fonts? Any ideas?
Awesome work anyway with or without fonts
Thank you for your effort
In Alien Rom, Does it work for Write & Read or full (with menus)?
same question in Cherry Rom.

During setup, SuperSU was one of the choices, then there was another with a similar name (I forget what the other option was at the moment.)
That is, assuming I understand your question correctly.
2 exploits that were available did not work. There was even some hesitancy to install it in the first place because an alert said Google recommends you don't install this because it contains suspicious code (not in those words, but you know what I mean.) I went ahead with installation because I didn't hear any negative talk about it after a little searching through the internet.

Hi
All the threads are old and have mixed results.
I picked up a Ouya at a thrift store for 15 bux. Would like to root but dont want to trash it. Is there a new method that works.
I powered it up and it took an update yesterday so its at the latest.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Like a couple years ago when I rooted my first ouya I used fastboot and cwm. But I'm pretty sure there was an all in one ouya adb tool that would did everything you could possible need root cwm Roms backups I will have to take a look when I get home but I have the apk on a backup drive somewhere. I will try to find it for you.

Correct. I did it last night with a mix of Kingroot (older version, the new stops working at 18%) and the updated xposed and playstore zip file.
If anyone needs, and if it's allowed, I will post the files later.
I had my ouya rooted, collecting dust.. Then decided to flash an AOSP rom, and bricked it.. Looked and found this video,I achieve root, boot menu , cm11 with this video . http://youtu.be/fYwZ_l31-G8 , beware.. Strange sounds in the background ... ?
Just went over to sprint the other day and got this version that ha 5.1.1 installed out of the box. Been searching around and have yet to find anything that even list this version/build but see many others listed.
Is there a root/Pre-root rom that will work on this variant?
I second this! I have been searching for any info on rooting this specific device without luck! I don't mind doing research on how to do it and finding out how my self, just can't find anything at all to do so thus far!
Root for SM-G530P
I third this someone please help...
Before you get into flashing anything on the device....please be sure to enable OEM Unlocking under developers option.
Also, there seems to be a twrp recovery, however, I have not tested it out myself yet...when I do so I will let you all know if it's success or not.
Another thing, I think it's highly possible that the phone will require a "permissive" kernel...not too sure yet. I will advise shortly...
Ok I got news. The phone has been semi-rooted, I was right...it requires a permissive kernel in order for the phone to boot up once more. The people that come in mind when it comes to permissive sprint kernels are Freeza & Djvoleur. They can probably cook something up if they have the source code for this phone already.... also, we need a working twrp or philz recovery.... the ones provided do not work... meaning that it would be redundant to have a permissive kernel...if we don't have a working custom recovery to flash it over with.... unless there's another way to flash the zip file or maybe just the boot.img? I will keep updating this if I find anything further...

Now if I could just find a ROM for this thing that would make it a bit less bloated and run a bit smoother that will make it all worth while.

Hello,
I just received my Zenphone pro yesterday and i enabled Camera2API , i tried "MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova" and "GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950"
but the thing that confused me is that it shows that the camera app is already installed in my device (which is false) then the installation fails ( app can't install) so i thought that two apps can't have the same name.
So i wanted to remove the built in app camera (with powershell) but before doing anything that can ruin my phone i wanted you to give me your thoughts on this.

First thing i do is google it don't worry , but i did not get any working results that's why i posted.
Bro, first of all tell whether your device is Oreo or pie. Anyway my device is non root pie and i have been using the following apks : " GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18d1.apk " and " Gcam_6.2.024_Advanced_V2.0.190420.0415.apk ". These work flawlessly for me , so try it out.
