It sounds like your suspend frequency might be too low for ViPER to keep it's processing with the screen off. Also make sure you're not using a task killer or any other app that manages minfree values. What ROM & kernel are you using?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] imeem:
any1 able to get viper to work with armamp? I know those 2 are compatible because i tired it on HP touchpad, but for sum reason those 2 don't work together on the nexus 4.

Fu--ing amazing I LOVE THIS APP !

Phone : Nexus 4 /Rom : cataclysm / Kernel : Stock.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] imeem:
just wondering, do u guys use the xHifi version or FX? i'm currently using the xHIFI.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rrohanjs:
fx
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] therussian87:
FX
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yochananmarqos:
I've always used FX. Development on XHiFi has stopped. FX has an XHiFi Clarity Mode, it appears they're merging the projects.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] imeem:
let's hope so. The reason why i'm still using xHifi is because of the hi clarity and lo contour. Tho right now i'm experimenting by using both FX and xhifi at the same time.

Any profile for our nexus 4 speaker?

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] meangreenie:
Though this does an admirable job, I think it's a case of garbage in garbage out. Plenty of options to try and filter the audio. But at the end of the day you can't polish a turd (nexus 4 audio quality).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lightninbug:
I beg to differ...download the IRS addons and use recommended settings...ur phone will sound amazing...complete audiophile here..

Pair this mod with a pair of the 2013 beats studio headphones and you won't believe your ears...sound is equivalent to music/audio mods from my PC
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] polaris441:
Can this mod increase in call volume?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
And this is where you show your ignorance. Not much can be done for the crappy external speaker, but as far as the output thru ear buds/headphones it does wonders.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Agera:
Can't we flash this zip via recovery? Just extract and install?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Abaddon:
no, extract the one for your android ver. eg. android 4.3 and put the apk in /system/app with rw,r,r permissions. once done open the app and install drivers. choose a8 with neon and your done.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Jamal Ahmed:
Not trying to sound whiny, but anyone else not able to get it working on stock rooted with Franco or Faux kernel? It just says check if device is rooted or busybox is installed or not. I'm guessing this may be because of stock JWR that this problem is up? Maybe.

If anyone else having"driver not installed" on stock JWR with Franco or Faux kernel, kindly share :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ace42:
It is not A8. It is a custom design using ARM blueprints as a base. It is already known that S4P offers close to A15 performance, an A8 cannot do this at all. You can find more info at anandtech.

Edit: scorpion architecture is the most similar to A8 and was used S2 and Snapdragon S3.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] miguepereira77:
I meant the viper driver... Do u suggest another one?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 4 usando Tapatalk 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ace42:
I've used the A8 and A9 driver and noticed no difference using the same headphone. Just be sure you have Superuser 1.51 zip or whatever for 4.3 ROMs.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tuilalnvinh:
Anyone using this mod with Neutron ? I could get it work with Play Music but not Neutron
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zubin111:
Not sure if 'beats headphones' and audiophile can be taken in a same breadth.. :silly: all the head-fiers would disagree... It just is an effect which alters the sound specifically in the sub-bass and treble, thereby giving an effect of increased clarity and bass (consumer friendly signature). I am not against the viper, as i enjoy it too, but its just about the distinction between an audiophile which is a complete flat frequency response and the app which is a much altered sound signature.

No, Neutron and Poweramp somehow bypass the system sound effects and do their own processing, however after testing thoroughly between viper, poweramp and Neutron on earphones ranging from GR07, MH1C, Quadbeat, RE-400...... i think poweramp has the most neutral response staying much true to what is recorded. I can say this as i tested the same tracks against my benchmark; Rockboxed Clip+.... :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
I would have to disagree, somewhat. While the app does give you the ability to enhance bass, treble to make it more pleasing to the ears, it also gives the ability for correction that will reproduce the music closer to recorded levels with a flat frequency response. Obviously, how close will depend on the quality earbuds, earphones used. Also, which irs file you use. The N4 lacks good hardware and also seems to come stock with a poor driver. The improved driver and lib file usage provided by the app make a huge difference. I can't speak for Poweramp, since I only briefly tried it in the past, but I have heard good things about it. However, from what I read on the main thread, most users are choosing to use Viper over the built in Poweramp DSP.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jyotman007:
I'm on stock kernel and getting the same error that I'm not rooted or busybox is not installed... :banghead:

Any way out for this?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Which rom and are you rooted with SuperSU or Superuser?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jyotman007:
Stock JWR and just updated to Supersu 1.51

Edit : Actually I just updated from supersu 1.4x to 1.51 before installing this app. And now when im opening supersu to update binaries it just gets stuck at updating binaries forever. Maybe that is the problem.

Any solution? Root is working fine.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
It should give you two options to update binaries, normal and thru recovery. Normal didn't work for me, but thru recovery did.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jyotman007:
Problem solved :)

Flashed supersu 1.51 zip through recovery ...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dark Fear:
for me installs successfully.. but has no effect.. just first option..tried a8 & a9 driver
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
After installing driver and rebooting, go into the phone settings>sounds and under music fx, select Viper if there is an option. The option will be there if you have another DSP manager installed, including the stock one. Also, I would recommend putting Viper in compatible mode if there is another DSP manager on your phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] derekr44:
Good crimeny I love this audio mod. Anyone want to share their settings?

Mine (for progressive trance)

V4A-FX - On

Playback Gain - Enabled, slight effect, 2x max gain, -1.9dB out

Firequalizer - Enabled, Rock preset

Dynamic System - Enabled, Common Earphone (v2), 5% Dynamic Bass

Viper Bass - Enabled, Natural, 40Hz, 3.5 dB boost

Viper Clarity - Enabled, XHiFi, 3.5dB

Hits nice, hard and clean on my Skullcandy earplugs.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Are you not enabling convolver and using some of the IRS files? I use the free v2 of Sony Xperia IRS files. The clearbass IRS rocks.

*Links not working. Checkout the main thread for a link to IRS files.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 3r1k:
You can use their recommended profiles.

I can assure you the audio quality that comes out after this mod is way better than Beats Audio Mod and Noozwire Audio Mod

Will this work on a 4.2.2 ROM?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yochananmarqos:
I don't have the Music FX option because I replaced it with DSP Manager. I then installed ViPER once I saw it was compatible with 4.3 but it sounded like crap. Compatible mode! Ta da! Thanks for mentioning that, forgot to try it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
Xhifi is not 4.3 supported yet. A supported 4.3 version is due to arrive very soon.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] WasifSal:
Not working on PA 3.98. Says check Root and busybox. But i have root! Should I flash the SU 1.51.zip? I mean PA has the Superuser thing in its settings place will it cause any troubles?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Abaddon:
superuser has some problems with some apps. flash super su to fix that issue. or wait for superuser to be updated
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] WasifSal:
Yeah i kinda flashed that file. I managed to run Viper but ran into problems that caused me to have root permissions from both the apps. Which was annoying and i was being paranoid if i didnt grant one of them the permission i may run into some problems. So i reflashed the rom... So much missing this mod :D i had this on Stock 4.3! Damn was it delicious ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Superstarstickel:

Anyone encountered with XHIFI not being able to install the driver?

I got FX to install just fine...i used these mods before on a couple of roms and just changed to vanir now (it was working on an earlier version of vanir as well) and was wondering if someone had the same experience as i like both Viper mods and vanir and wish to keep em both :\
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Quiksilver78:
I'd like to try it out myself but the process of tweaking and/or installing it looks very daunting. Anyone can comment how it works, or how difficult it is to setup?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Abaddon:
it's not that hard to install. you just have to be rooted if you're on android 4.3 you need super su not superuser, busybox and internet connection. you can install it as normal apk then open the app and install the drivers by selecting a9/15 then reboot and you're done. and oh if you have another music effect eg. dsp manager or music fx go to settings-sound-music effects and choose viper and all is good.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] recepo1:
Im having driver reboots with xihi i know u need to flash the super su file could someone pls tell me which zip file it is i need to flash
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Ace42:
Superuser 1.51. You should be able to find it in any 4.3 thread.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] recepo1:
Thx so just to be clear i just flash that zip in recovery because last time i did it soft bricked my phone..do i remove superuser i installed from google play first and then flash the zip
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Quiksilver78:
Thanks! that sounds very straight forward, but in terms of adjusting/calibrating the sound etc ... is it as simple as selecting a preset or downloading a pack? I've seen quite a few 'extras' that need to be downloaded separately for headphone profiles, etc ... Seems like it's very complex. I know I should try it myself but I'm just looking for an out of the box 'hey, listen to this!' type of setup. Kinda like that Nexus Louder patch that requires very minimal tweaking to get superior sound.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] failly:
Huh, im a little confused now...

I want to install it in a bit but I was reading that I need to choose A8 but you say A9.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Superstarstickel:
What drivers are you his using to download on nexus 4? Also is it just me or does xhifi work best?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ShinnAsuka:
At the beginning or end of a song, there may be one or two seconds with no sound and there is static. Is this normal?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yochananmarqos:
No, that's not normal. Are you using FX, XHiFi or both? Did you select ViPER as the default equalizer? Settings > Sound > Music Effects. Which driver did you install? A8 is for any Qualcomm / Snapdragon, A9 is for all others so A8 should work the best.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ShinnAsuka:
I am using FX only. Viper is the only equalizer installed so music effects under sound settings does not show up. I am using the A9 driver.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yochananmarqos:
Did you remove MusicFX? That comes stock. Are you using a custom ROM?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ShinnAsuka:
I am using PSX ROM. Doesn't come with a equalizer on a clean flash.
