I have no idea what you mean by you installed ARISE 2.5.0.5 via TWRP. There is no ARISE version 2.5.0.5. Sorry I couldn't help yesterday, but I was out watching UFC 205. ARISE will never ask for root, because the driver is preinstalled. What ARISE version is listed at the top of ARISE_Version.prop?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bozzchem:
Deuteronomy 2.3.3 20161103 is listed at the top of the ARISE_Version.prop file.

I flashed file ARISE+Sound+Systems+Deuteronomy+2.3.3.zip.

Crap, I thought I had downloaded ViPER4Arise 2.5.0.5.

I just downloaded ViPER4Arise+2.5.0.5.zip. I did so because it looks to be the latest based on this page: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709

There are so many options it's hard to know which is best to choose.

I'll do whatever it takes at this point. I'm in it until it's done.

Which file do I need to flash? Do I need to start over?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Deut 2.3.3 already has V4A 2.5.0.5 built in. It's time to ask about your ROM/system settings.

You say you're on stock rooted 5.01. Any particular reason why? Marshmallow has been available for quite some time. What version of BusyBox do you have installed? What's your current SELinux status? (At the bottom of Settings/About phone....either Enforcing or Permissive.) Probably Permissive for you, but just being thorough.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bozzchem:
I'm on stock rooted 5.0. No particular reason why other than not wanting to deal with custom ROM bugs. If you can point me to a ROM that's stable, I'll give it a go. I have the OF1 firmware and haven't seen a ROM based on MM or anything newer that looks promising for a Verizon Note 3.

Busybox v1.25.1

SELinux is Enforcing. I haven't found a way to make it permissive and I've tried everything I could find to do so.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bozzchem:
I'm open to ANY suggestions you have to remedy this problem.

I REALLY want this app installed and operational. I've never had an install beat my like this one has.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
I don't know what happened, but my last reply disappeared. I guess I'll repeat it again and see if it disappears again...

Anyway, reading through your board, I see your device if facing the same issues as many Samsung devices as far as the latest versions breaking features or actual function. I suggest you use the last fully functional version of this ROMwhich is v12 from Sept 06. Grab the newest mini GApps from http://opengapps.org/ and give it a go.

As for changing SELinux, you just have to sideload this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524485
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bozzchem:
You've certainly proven yourself to be knowledgeable regarding the Verizon Note 3...which is a PIA phone but one I love.

I'll give the ROM you suggested a go and see if I can eventually get ARISE loaded. Based on some cursory reads regarding this ROM, have the SD card and GPS bugs been worked out? I have a 200GB SD card in my phone with data that I'm

not

willing to compromise. I can put the ROM, Gapps, V4A, etc. zips directly on the phone and remove the SD while flashing, if that's best. I use the GPS in my car so can live with GPS issues if they're still a little flaky. Both Waze and Google Maps have sent me where I wasn't supposed to end up.

Thanks for all the links. It makes things much easier.

One last request, I'd really like to ensure that I flash the best ARISE package for my phone/system once I'm done blitzing it. Which V4A zip do you recommend? (ARISE+Sound+Systems+Deuteronomy+2.3.3.zip still looks to be the latest and greatest but better safe than sorry.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
I didn't really go all the way through the thread. I currently have a T-Mo Note 4. I started this thread a long time ago on a different phone and carrier. I've used Tema's ROM on both a Note 3 and 4. That's why I recommended it. I went through the last several pages until I found a few posts saying what version people reverted to after running into bugs/broken functionality. That's v12 of this ROM. IF you run into GPS issues, we'll deal with them then. You have a nandroid of your current setup, so there's really no reason not to flash and see what happens. You can always restore.

I use ARISE Deut v2.2.3. To me, it has the best sound. It's been removed from AFH, but I'll upload it below...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bozzchem:
I flashed the CM ROM that you suggested. (I'll be honest, not a fan of their work even though I use one of their ROMs on my Nook HD+)

I flashed gApps.

Dalvik/cache/System/Data.....all were wiped in the order prescribed.

Those reading this better flash the SU zip or you'll lose root and have to go back and do so. Trust me.

OK, I get past all of that bullshirt and now I'm running a new ROM that's rooted and recognizing SU so I finally have root access.

Next thing I know, it won't recognize my SD card. I've got this shiny "new" ROM that will not communicate with my SD card.

I get "Process system isn't responding - - Do you want to close it?" message. My options are Wait or OK. I've tried both with no success. Apparently this ROM has no intentions of recognizing my SD card. Does it need to format my card before it will recognize it? It's a 200GB card with a LOT of data that I will not compromise.

I even tried with a dummy SD card that I don't care about just to see if I could get this operational.

I hoped that downloading/installing the NextApp SDFix would alleviate the issue. Nope. My SD card will not be recognized by this ROM.

THIS

is why I stopped chasing ROMs. I enjoyed testing new ROMs back in the day but now need a stable phone that I can count on.

THIS

is why I just root the stock ROM and live with it. A rooted stock ROM with all non-essential apps (BS) frozen via TiBackup tends to work. Custom ROMs are bug festivals that require all kinds of debugging by those testing them.

This ROM doesn't appear to be that stable unless someone can tell me what I need to do to get my SD card recognized. If doing so involves formatting it, I'm going back to stock and will consider the Viper4Arise a pipe dream that I won't achieve.

I get this message: Platform permission file is invalid, no WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE entry found.

What the hell am I missing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Gratitude? I'm not your personal tech support. The devs here do all this work for free. Stick to stock. You won't have to "deal" with bugs or people trying to help you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bozzchem:
I am most grateful for all of the help you've given and I apologize that my frustration level has gotten to this point.

This is the first time I've had to throw in the towel in defeat.

As badly as I want this app installed, apparently I lack what it takes to do so.

That is no reflection on anyone but me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Hemi2014:
Does not work on rooted Note 3 SM-N900V with Lollipop upgrade. NO good Root apps seem to work on this pile of stool device... It took me a month of research just freaking get root!!! All for not, it seems... I can't get **** done with my newfound access. Too bad, because I refuse to get a new phone, as none of them have removable batteries and SD card slots. I guess I'm stuck with this phone until it is no longer usable on any cell network :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
As an ARISE Team member, I'm not going to suggest you install our mod :D #ARISEUP

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bozzchem:
I feel your pain. (The Note 4 has removable batteries/SD BTW if you want to stick with the Samsung Note series).

Getting the Note 3 SM-900V rooted is very easily done.

Unfortunately, getting Viper to work on a rooted Note 3 SM-900V will not work unless a custom ROM is installed. Even rooted, the stock ROM is too restrictive.

Read through this thread to see the pain I went through trying to make it work on my rooted SM-900V with stock ROM. No way in hell could I get Viper to work no matter what I tried. Like you, I got frustrated and lashed out at the very people trying to help me. Lashing out at people trying to help proved to be a bad move on my part and will prove to be a bad move on your part. These guys aren't getting paid. They're doing what they do to help us without a paycheck. They owe us nothing. I know how it feels when you need to vent but it's self-destructive to vent at those willing to assist you when they are doing so out of the goodness of their hearts rather than for a payday.

Don't knock the Viper guys. They've busted their butts to make a fantastic audio platform the likes of which are unparalleled. When you're rooted and ready to install a custom ROM, you have a chance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] CuteP0ison:
For anyone still trying this, just got it to work after flashing stock OF1 ROM.

Here are the steps that worked for me after flashing stock OF1 ROM (links at the bottom):

1. Root

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Flash TWRP or any other recovery

4. Install Viper4Android as system app and reboot

5. Open Viper4Android, install driver and reboot into recovery

6. Flash viper4Android supolicy

7. Open Viper4Android and nothing would work at this point :( (Atleast not for me)

8. Open Viper4Android and uninstall driver, after that delete Viper4Android from system/app

9. Reboot

10. Install Viper4Android as system app and reboot

11. Open Viper4Android and install driver and reboot for the last time

12. Disable default equalizer from Settings -> Applications-> All -> SoundAlive -> Disable

13. Now Viper4Android works with stock music app and spotify (If you open SoundAlive from Samsung Music, Viper4Android opens up)

14. To get it working with PowerAmp inside go to Settings -> Audio -> Advanced Tweaks -> Uncheck Direct Volume Control and Check MusicFX

For steps 1, 2 and 3: Root, Bootloader Unlock, and Custom Recovery!

For steps 4 and 5: Viper4Android only Version 2.3.4.0 works for me Mediafire

For step 6: Get the file from Step 3 here

i using Joying head unit and can't install twrp

hello

many of days i researching to find solution to install Arise twrp recovery on my car but i can't to enter recovery mode because it limited by Joying .

what is best choice for me to use enhanced sound audio in my car?

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] keynith:
so after i edit the build.prop and reboot it doesnt boot up. i keep having to restore the system in twrp

I got it working by installing as regular app and didnt have to mod the build.prop so im all good
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] UNIKNEO:
I found 4 zip files on the link provided. Should I install each of the 4.X apk in the app folder?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] UNIKNEO:
Got it working fine. Major increase in my sound performance. My LG Bluetooth headphones sound amazing. Thanks for this app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] manatti:
Only move the 4.x ones. It's matching up to our version of Android. Just delete the 2.3 ones. You won't ever need them. If you follow it step by step you will be good. The only thing different is the Viper xfi one I selected to turn off because I kept getting a notification icon.

Hey guys any news on the hangouts video chat crash bug when viper is installed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] oneandroidnut:
Bricked mine too. not worth it. wouldn't recommend it to anybody
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] yakitori2:
I edited the build.prop no problems. On MI9 and on MJ7...and on Beans MJ7...and on HD MJ7.

Not sure how you are trying to do it, but the lines are already in there...just have to change 2 words from true to false. The top line in the quote above is not relavent to the Note 3

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

I have viper installed and active and my hangouts video chat does not crash. not sure if its related to the viper app.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

I removed Viper for android from my Note 3 because the mod was causing media blipping and occasional changes in volume and I heard "clicks" in the audio from time to time. Also I noted viper app using a lot of data in my data usage page....which I though was weird.

Anyway, I personally think the stock music FX and audio profile with adapt sound is supreme quality.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mwebb34:
Will this work on mj7 build
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] yakitori2:
Yes. It was causing hangouts video chat crash on HD and on my girls s4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
I searched in the original thread and it looks like this issue was fixed in v2.3.1.3. Are you guys using this latest version? If so, did you install as system or data app? Did you do the build.prop edits? Did you try disabling V4A during the call and it went through? Did removing the app entirely resolve the issue?

If you properly did the build.prop edits, there's no way turning off audio encoding bricked a phone. Please don't bad mouth the mod due to your syntax errors or incorrectly saving the file. Regardless, you should be able to restore a backup or simply push a correctly formatted build.prop via adb. If you use Root Explorer, it automatically makes a backup of a file when you use the text editor in it. You can also rename that file.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] yakitori2:
Yes. I was using the latest version. I never had an issue with video chat crashing on the note 3. I Uninstall ed mine because of the occasional click and stuff in my phone speaker. Usually happened when there was handoff between media and system sounds like streaming music and then using touch sounds. I Uninstalled on my phone for that reason. Not sure what version my girls s4 had. Though I think it was same as mine.

However for some reason j got the same video crash on HD rom that i didn't get on stock when using my note 3...yes...same viper app too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] oneandroidnut:
dont give me that. i following instructions to a T. and please it was working it said in both apps and then started force closing both viper apps. And then phone turned off and froze on splash screen. This is the most complicated audio app(s) to run/install whatever. And i can root/recovery/kernels/theme etc and yet i cant run your app properly. get outta here dude. and yes still wont recommend to anybody
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jmorton10:
I agree the Viper mod seems rather touchy at times.

It works fine for me in conjunction with a modified snd_soc_msm_Taiko_CDP file to step the max volume up a little more however.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] BaTtLaNgL6767:
This worked great with my s3. I had it working on my VZW retail Note 3. Google play music. It sometimes won't switch to the right audio output. When it does that I change my Bluetooth settings and hit the menu and select lock profile. It will keep the same settings for speaker/headset/or Bluetooth. I didn't change my buildprop but I did manually install it.

I had to re flash Beans though and haven't had a chance to re install. Re flashed because I keep messing with things till they don't want to work. Fix or reset and repeat.

I was on beans ROM when I had it working. Just keep trying a couple players. If you can get it to work you'll know why people are amazed by what it does. I have never heard bass so clear through Bluetooth and stock speakers.

Convolver is tricky I still have yet to find the "right" irs file that suits how I want to listen so I just have 200 saved. One day I'll settle!

Love V4A. Totally blew one of my cars speakers, I guess I gave myself an excuse to tinker with my audio system now, they were factory anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
V4A FX 2.3.2.0 was released yesterday. The changelog reads:

If you're upgrading from a previous version of V4A and it's installed as a system app (which I've already said SHOULD be the way you're running it), remember to do an uninstall of the old version and a fresh install 2.3.2.0.

We have a quad core device so select the High Quality driver and I can attest that it has been significantly improved. I can also verify that it works with Google's Play Music streaming just fine (screenie below- top left icon).

SUPERB update. Grab it now!

V4a doesnt work on poweramp music player?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Yes it does. You just have to turn off Poweramp's DVC:

Poweramp Settings->Audio->Advanced: toggle Direct Volume Control to off
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] r9800pro:
It doesn't work for me neither even when disabling DVC and it doesn't work neither with videos in MX Player. It only works with stock music player.

Nexus 7 2013 LTE 4.4.2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
If you have it installed as a user app, I'd suggest installing it as a system app. I no longer use Poweramp, but it's worked for me in the past. I use MX player and it definitely works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] r9800pro:
Can you please tell me how to install as a System App ? I am noob when it comes to Android and need step by step guide. Thanks!

Edit: oh, ok I will follow your instructions in the first post.

---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

Followed all the instructions but I don't find these lines at all in /system/build.prop on my Nexus 7 LTE and still the same issue. Stock Music Player works fine but PowerAMP and MX Player don't work (Not processing) :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Glad you found the instructions. When you minimize the window to check if it's processing in MX player, the movie stops. Therefore, V4A will say it's not processing. You actually have to be playing something to have it say "Processing". Put some heavy base and echo on in V4A and then play a movie. You should hear a dramatic difference.

EDIT: Using MoboPlayer's multiwindow player, I can show you that sound is being processed:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] r9800pro:
I am using background play option with MX Player so that it continue playing while I check V4A. I've also used Dice Player and now MoboPlayer with a video window and it is still the same; No processing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
I don't have an N7, I'm not running Android 4.4.2, and I'm not sure what ROM you're on, but sometimes, as I said in the original post, sometimes V4A and the particular ROM you're using just don't mix. You can try a different kernel, ROM, or both if you think V4A will be worth reinstalling everything on your device.

One thing that concerns me is the top screenshot. I see the V4A icon in your status bar. This usually indicates that V4A is not installed properly on the device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] r9800pro:
My Nexus 7 is on Stock ROM and it has been the same since 4.3.1 and on 4.4, 4.4.1 and 4.4.2

V4A icon is there because I selected Show Notification in its settings.

By the way, V4A indeed works with Stock Music player and with MX Player but only when I play audio files with it and select HW decoding (not SW or HW+). So V4A works but not for all sound playback.
