While I agree in theory, almost every time I see someone complaining the app(s) don't work or only partially working, they've inevitably installed it as a data (regular) app. As I stated in the OP, my instructions are my personal tried and true steps. Although it may work for the majority of installers, I'd never recommend installing as a data app. If a user runs into problems, it's immediately eliminated as something you have to ask when troubleshooting.

What is that? I thought it was just install app, download drivers, fix build.prop and that was it....do you mind posting download link if thats an important file in order for viper4android to work., thanks.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Look at the bottom of the OP under the UPDATE section. IRS stands for impulse response sample and they're run by V4A's convolver. It's optional to run, but once you find the one you like, you won't run V4A without one again. It's the same way with Viper DDC.

Speaking of which, now that I've had a couple of days to mess with Viper DDS, I've actually switched manufacturers and I'm using a headphone profile for my earbuds. I suggest everybody go through the list and find the right profile for their listening pleasure.

Will this work for me?

Hey guys! I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 here...

I'm just wondering, will this work for me or will it brick (break) my phone? I'm kind of scared to reboot because I once tried a mod previously and I was left with a Samsung Galaxy Brick 4... anyone confirm this is safe for me to use? See the screenshot of my phone details, thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Yes, it will work as long as you're rooted and do the proper build.prop edits. As I said in the OP, I had a Verizon S4 before the N3. Enjoy!

Meed my self up SM-N900V

So I followed the steps, 4.4.2 updated

1. edited the build file

2. downloaded the apk.

3. install apk

4. Install Driver.

5. it told me to reboot.

I rebooted and now my phone will show the Samsung logo and then black screen. I left it like that for couple hours and the phone was burning HOT!.

What are my options to recover the phone from this state. Is the firmware is borked? if so how can I re-install the firmware. I can get into ODIN mode (Vol Down+home+pwr) or the system recovery (with many tries Volup+home+power)

Latest Kies does not detect the phone.

Where can I get the stock firmware for the Verizon SM-N900V Note 3. ? and instructions to install it.

Can I recover via ADB which also does not see the phone either.

there is a option in recovery says apply update from ADB. have not tried it yet as I do not have the update.

any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Okay. While this seems to look like an issue with this mod, it isn't. I know it looks like that, but hundreds of thousands of people have installed this mod without this issue. Since you can't see your phone via ADB (a Samsung driver issue), you're going to have to flash stock via Odin. Images are here. Odin download link, Samsung drivers, and Odin instructions are all there. Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kojigushi:
thank you so much for taking the time to reply and providing guidance.

wondering I was currently on N900VVRUCNC4 which is the latest 4.4.2 KK.

I am not sure if I follow the procedure in the link will it void warranty right now the odin and know are 0x0

I downloaded

http://dl.sammobile.com/OlFZQz8lJj0...lNBUEBFUQ../N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_VZW.zip

I take you can flash that with Odin which will get me back to STOCK/. only reason I rooted was to get the sound as I miss Beats from my HTC.

if I flash this with odin will it increase the know count odin count?

I would appreciate the answer

I don't know if the installation method described in the OP makes a big difference... I have used Viper4android and Viper xhifi on my S4 and now on my Note 3 with the simplest installation method and they work really well. All I did was download the zip files and extract the apks. After I installed, I was asked to install the drivers. I ticked "high audio quality" for Viper4android and the drivers installed automatically. For xhifi, you need to choose your CPU type, which is the Cortex with neon one. After the drivers install, you're asked to reboot your device. After rebooting you go to music effects and choose Viper4android. You can then go to the app and configure the equalizer and stuff. This worked for me. But maybe there is something I am missing...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
There hasn't been an update to V4A in quite a while, so I'd like to draw your attention to two audio mods that are compatible with V4A and further enhance your audio experience. These mods change your sound lib directory and modify your system partition, so please make a Nandroid backup before proceeding:

The first is [MENTION=5160317]Vinardo_ZzZ 2000[/MENTION]'s Elements of Fidelity which is currently at version 20. Scroll wayyyyy down to the bottom of the OP and grab one of the two bottom installers. The bottom is for TouchWiz ROMs and the one above is for AOSP ROMs.

These are flashable AROMA installers, so just wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache, install, repeat wipes, and fix permissions. I tried the Ultra install, but it didn't work on my N3 (thus, the Nandroid backup). Try it, YMMV. When you boot up, V4A will be broken, but you should notice a distinctly clearer sound. If not, use the standard install in AROMA.

Next is [MENTION=5605825]Applicare Studios[/MENTION]' eXtremeBeats™. Again, scroll wayyyyy down to the bottom and choose either Studio or eXtremeBass v1.0.0 depending on your listening style.

This is a simple flashable zip and installation should be done the same as above.

Once both mods are installed, open V4A FX and reinstall the top driver. If you have V4A XiFi installed as well, fire that up and install the bottom driver again.

Reboot and enjoy your new eargasm!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] LeftyGR:
****Anyone interested in this who is on the retail VZW N3 cannot flash this as is. We cannot flash via Aroma with our locked bootloader. You will need to install manually or change the zip to install w/o Aroma.

Hello.

I have Micromax Unite2 (A106), rooted, Arm Cortex A-7 quad-core CPU. When I read abt this MOD, I really was excited and wanted to try this one. So I read this and original post of Viper4Android, tried latest v2.3.3.0 . But no luck, I didn't got past the driver installation stage. It keep saying "Driver Installation Failed, check ur Busybox if its broken install stericson one". I know i have rooted device with stericson busybox and SU app of "tha phalash" or something.

What could I do? Please Please help.......:crying::crying::crying:

Does this work on lollipop ROMs for lg g2?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jhuebert95:
I honestly have no idea. I doubt it, but you never know. FX was made for kitkat at the latest and xHiFi was made for jellybean at the latest yet they both run just fine on 4.4.2. Make a nandroid backup and install the apps. See if you can get the drivers to install. It'd be nice to confirm if they'll install on lollipop. I'd test it out but I have no way of testing lollipop! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Not sure about the LG G2, but the latest versions of both FX and Xi-Fi work on Lolli Note 3. Xi-Fi's screen greys out for some reason (normally black), but works perfectly.

Note (no pun intended): I installed in system\app instead of system\priv-app for Lolli. You have to create two folders and match permissions (take away middle Write permission for group and others on the folder and also take away execute for all on the files themselves). This will stop the "Android is upgrading" message every time you boot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fonixmunkee:
Anyone have any good Viper4Android settings for the Note 3 they'd be willing to share? Here's mine, so far:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Settings that I use you may personally hate. It's all user preference and that's why this app is so great.

That being said, you're not using the app to its full potential. Look in the OP on how to enable the Expert user interface. You'll then be able to use the DCC to customize for your headphones/earbuds and the Convolver with its associated IRS files.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
After months of no updates, FX has been bumped to version 2.3.4.0. It adds official Lollipop support and adds DCC customizing (though I don't know how to do this even in expert mode).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Reading the official thread, I answered my own question: DCC customization will be done with profiles like .irs files are now. This will let people get the absolute best sound out of their particular set of headphones. This is an amazing feature. Details here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58867050&postcount=16824.

What's the best setting to increase the overall volume?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
You don't have the app properly installed if it keeps asking for drivers. If you haven't tried it already, install it as a system app instead of a data app.

This app doesn't change overall volume. It can boost what it's currently processing with Playback Gain Control, but it can't increase things like ringtones or in-call volume. There's plenty of apps on the Play Store that can, however.

Ive spent 4 hours and have tried everything. It is working flawlessly on my s3 I dont understand the problem here.

Everything installs fine and shows fine but no effects.

In driver status processing is NO.

Rest all is fine. Ive tried installing it as system and user app.

Uninstalled , reboot, install again, reboot. Nothing. Done it numerous times. Still nothing

Any one else faced a similar issue?

I just installed SoundCloud to test it and it works flawlessly with V4A FX and Xi-Fi. I have them both installed as a system app. Screenshot attached.

Starting with Android 5.0 (I know you're on 4.4.2, hear me out), I noticed sometimes V4A doesn't work unless SELinux is set to Permissive. You have two choices to fix this:

1) Load a kernel that sets it to Permissive (I suggest leankernel as it's really a basic, non-overclocking kernel)

2) Install the SELinux Mode Changer app and set it to Permissive. Verify in settings that the mode has changed (see attached screenshot). Install V4A as a system app. Profit.

EAGERLY need help to get MX Player to work with V4A!

Hi guys!

So, around 2 months ago, I upgraded my Note 4 (SM-N910C) to the stock Lollipop 5.0.1. Ever since, I haven't been able to get my MX Player audio to be processed via V4A. My phone is all rooted, and with a kernel that sets SELinux to Permissive!

I have tried pretty much every possible way to get it to work.. but all in vain.

Am I missing something??

I really REALLY appreciate it, if someone could help me figure this out, as I haven't watched a single movie, ever since I bought this doomed Note 4 (had a Note 3!).

Ps. tried to install it both as a user and system app.. but nothing worked. And it processes the default Samsung player, but it doesn't process MX player, EVEN on HW!

Can someone help, please? I have a rooted Huawei Ascend Mate 2 on 4.3, stock ROM + unlocked bootloader, and I cannot get these drivers to install. Keeps coming up with an error that I have the wrong version of busybox, or outdated version, or that I'm not rooted. I have the latest (paid!) version of busybox, officially from Google Play, and I can confirm root is indeed on my phone (if it weren't, I wouldn't be able to edit the build.prop, install Xposed modules, push apks such as this as system apps, etc). My device has never seemed to play nice with busybox, though. Is there a fix or workaround?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
It's VERY odd that it processes with the default Samsung (I assume video and not music) player and not MX Player. I use MX Player as my default as it's the best and it processes fine. While you say you've installed it as both, since you're having problems, ensure that it's installed as a system app making the proper folders and setting their correct permissions. If you can't change the V4A's UI to Expert in the menu, the app isn't installed right. Make sure that your BusyBox is up to date and you've flashed the latest SuperSU.

If you've done all that already, uninstall your current drivers and reboot. Delete the apps from wherever they're installed with your file manager (data/app or system/app) and reboot. This will start you clean. Then install as a system app and reboot, install drivers and reboot, and then test with other apps such as Google Play Music, Pandora, etc. Ensure that sound is being processed system-wide. If it works with other apps, then something is wrong with your MX installation and reinstall. I don't alter any of the Audio properties in MX Player, but here are my Decoder changes:

Use H/W+ decoder

User H/W+ decoder (local)

Correct aspect ratio

H/W audio track selectable

Color format change to RGB 32-bit

Custom codec aio.1.7.32.zip (http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=9767) for playing AC3 files

Good luck and reply back!

Go into Settings/Developer options and change root access to Apps and ADB. V4A doesn't work with Superuser, so flash the latest SuperSU:

http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Once SuperSU has root access from Superuser, got back into Developer options and disable root. Install V4A as a system app per the OP and profit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] zombunny:
I have SuperSU, the latest version. :) As far as developer mode goes, I do not have those settings, natively. Perhaps that could be the problem? I've heard this device isn't easy to get V4A running on, but was hoping maybe things have changed since then.

V4A is back on my device again, ready for another try. It's installed as a system app, and it was the last two times as well.

Forgive a stupid question, but would a different ROM make V4A work on my device if there's no other way? I'd prefer not to though, I'm content with stock and Xposed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
You enable Developer options by going into settings/about phone and clicking the build number rapidly about 6 times. This likely isn't the issue as Superuser gives root to Apps by default. Ensure that Superuser has given SuperSU root access by starting SuperSU and the binaries are installed. Once you're sure that SuperSU has root, disable Superuser in Developer options and reboot.

Once SuperSU is properly set as your default root app, you should see the apps it has given root access like this:

So found it in my google drive backup's and it should work for our Ultra. The reason it has the 2x2 and 2x4 grid is because its based on an older version of "weatherWidget.apk"

Root access to modify system apps

So here is the apk.
