How to setup Viper4Andriod FX Audio enhancement

Setup how you like it.

For info on Viper Audio check HERE

You can used Xposed to change battery icons. See this great thread from NadMaj for some great available Xposed Battery Icons

You can use XBlast to change status bar icons, notification pulldown (transparency or picture), toggle colors, clock colors, hide notifications, etc... Experiment and find your own favorite settings. Available here but please support [MENTION=5219664]FemBlack[/MENTION] great work and get his Play Store version (with more features) here

BATTERY LIFE – I would advise at least run a few cycles before you start talking about it.

This is build is for standard dpi. You are welcome to try 240, 214 etc but I don't support these mods. Meaning I have no time to work on any fixes if you try to change dpi so please don't ask. You can change DPI with Xposed apps. Search and you will find.

I cooked this ROM for my own personal enjoyment and it works for me. *What works for me may not work for you. I merely put together what I like and use. If you don't like it then please don't flash it or even download it as it costs me personally for file hosting.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO FLASH THIS ROM OR ANY OF THE ATTACHED MODS THEN THAT IS ENTIRELY YOUR CHOICE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
