After the 5.2 update make sure fix permissions again.

Then if your still having issues try to grab a busy box installer from the market.

See if it says it's installed.

As far as viper once I dig deeper it should work properly for picking drivers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Haha beat you to it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] WeSiDe:
Thanks for the response. I had replaced busy box with pro version and did a clean, smart install to /system/bin. I'll try another distro.

Oh a heads up. Maybe you are sticking with 2.3.1.3 for a specific reason but if not there is version 2.3.1.5 of Viper4Android out.

Edit: I don't know of any ill effects occurring from fixing permissions so I've been doing so rather liberally.

I'm gonna follow the suggestions and give it a whirl.

Should the wallpaper be blue by the time im done or the minin3 wallpaper? I'm getting the blue one.

Latest Version Giving Me Delayed Sound...

I just updated to the latest Viper4Android, and it was giving me some odd effects, most significantly, I was getting a reverberation when I didn't have it selected. Rolled back to the previous version with the exact same profile settings and back to normal.

I don't know if this is because it is better to completely uninstall a previous version, but upgrading within the app gave me all kinds of undesirable effects. That stated, I understand that the app has so many settings that can be tweaked, the permutations are almost endless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
I can't seam to get any Part of it to work. So at this point I'm not missing out on anything. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I think I had busy box in system xbin.

I'll look into these issues shortly.

As far as the blue wallpaper.

I haven't really themed the rom yet.

I did drop the minin3 wallpaper in the stock wallpaper chooser for anyone who wants though.

But no it doesn't set on boot.

Honestly I figured most people would be setting their own anyway so I saved myself some effort.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I'll pop you over the dialer here in a bit.

Though usually it's just an [MENTION=403934]Color[/MENTION]:background

In the over all layout xml.

There is usually the main background an app pulls right at the top.

Though you then have to set each windows background to transparent also for any other activities that are called (scenes)

In the case of the dialer.

There is a main background for the overall app.

Actually one line in both

Sec phone

And

Sec contacts

That gets removed or redirected.

You then must find each Window that pulls up.

For the dialer there are a few.

Like call background and crap.

You can usually search for all the [MENTION=1190268]background[/MENTION]

Markers and most of those must also be set transparent.

Then you pretty much need to just invert some text and whatnot.

I think I have the step by step notes I took while doing it also.

When I get a chance I'll pop them over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Yea the way I integrated viper was a test.

I knew it would take some tweaking.

I'm still not even sure what all I'm doing there.

Will improve greatly in the future.

Though I could pretty easily just include the basic viper stuff.

And let everyone configure it themselves.

Honestly no matter to me.

Also .....

CONTRIBUTORS TAKE NOTICE.

Apparently issue was taken with how we were running the thread.

In an attempt to keep us in the rules the following changes were made.

Even though all users were getting updates as I thought they were stable. We are not allowed to have anything that looks like your paying to get extra features.

Some issues were also taken with the donation wording.

Until we decide a final solution. This is what will happen for the immediate future.....

ALL CONTRIBUTORS have been moved to the "test group"

For you guys nothing really changes.

The folder your using stays the same though the label will change from contributor folder to test folder.

New additions to the test group will be at my discretion only. Anyone may contact me by PM or email and ask for a slot. I can accept or deny them at will.

From time to time I will invite users from the thread who have shown a commitment to the rom.

I will also invite those who contribute something useful to the rom. (If they have work in it they should have access at all points)

The test group will then continue the same job as the contributor group was doing previously. Really for this part it's just a name change. As things are deemed stable (by me again no one else gets a say here) they will be released to everyone.

I'm not sure how else this will effect the future of this rom on xda. Though I will be maintaining development for my own use anyway.

So for the moment. As far as you guys are concerned. No real changes.

If anyone would like details you may contact me privately.

I will only discuss this here in general terms just so there is no possible future issue.

Viper should be in /data/app or system/app not sure where I stuck it.

Though to pick your own driver you may need to delete the viper data at /data/data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:

Delete both viper folders from

Reboot

Open xHifi first

Then reg viper

Go to speaker.

Then try the equalizer.

Or Play Around a Bit More...

Or you can play around a bit more with Viper4Android.

Do the following:

1. Create a folder on your SD card called "Kernel" as a subfolder of ViPER4Android (it's case sensitive, so use a capital "K")

2. Unzip the entire contents of this file into that folder.

3. Follow the instructions in this post of mine earlier in this thread, reposted here for quick reference:

Anyone else getting a settings force close when trying to open the music effects in settings? I feel like that is my last step before I get Viper working!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Leave Music FX Alone...

I highly recommend that you leave Music FX alone. The mod should stick regardless of what you touch in sound settings. It can happen, especially when you install Play Music or other apps with sound fx that get piped into settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Maybe MJ should remove the settings, i know i was the one that ask for it back..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Probably a stupid question but i believe in installing the wrong drives, which CPU should I say I have?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
No Question Is Stupid...

No question is stupid, you should know that. However, I don't use the XHIFI, just the one file here. That installs the driver automatically. Make sure you grant SU permission when opening. If using the XHIFI, choose A9/A15 cortex with neon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TeCKNeiC:
Ok followed the directions below and did not touch the music effects in settings (force closes anyway). When I check the driver status should it indicate that "processing = yes" because it is still showing mine as "processing=no" nor do I hear a difference in sound. BTW I am using PlayerPro and I know it works because I have used Viper4Android before with this music app and that is the reason I am trying so hard to get it back, it was like hearing the voice of God when I activated it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Perhaps the voice of Garrison Keeler, or Morgan Freeman. Anyway, if you want that awesome sound back, I'd suggest killing all things viper4android and starting over. Sideloading the apk I linked should get ya back. However, the man whom built this rom, being wise and awesome, should be your primary guide, as he may well know a swifter solution, and perchance have a better hold on where the current viper4android items resides. I do know that the main viper4android thread has an uninstall guide that's pretty straightforward.

I've been around working on random projects all day and haven't forgot about you guys. Just got myself in a little zone.

Some big stuff coming.

Definitely will be getting viper sorted. This was just a temporary scenario/test.

Though other than the viper audio stuff it seems like most everything is working properly which is a good sign.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
[MENTION=3795345]mjcollum[/MENTION] think there will ever be a MiniGG for the Samsung smart watch?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Probably not really.

While it would probably be tons of fun to mess around with,

I don't see myself actually getting one.

It kind of seems more like a gimmick than a useful device.

Though you never know what kind of interesting things it could be made to do I guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TeCKNeiC:
Found the problem. I was using Player Pro. If anyone else is using Player Pro you need to have the DSP sound pack installed as well. When I pretty much gave up on installing VIPER I just installed the DSP pack for some kind of audio fix and it sounded amazing so I doubled checked the Viper Driver settings and it was finally processing. Dunno if this will help anyone but my is ROM at 100% with everything working...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mhutton:

How is Player Pro? I've gotten rid of the stock player and installed Walkman instead and loving it but, I've heard great things about Player Pro.

That being said I'm always looking for the next best so I may try Walkman, can it be found on the Market?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alexv59:
I promise that I am reading all the posts I've missed so as to not ask a question over again. However, curiosity has gotten a hold of me and I must ask, hoping that the answer is between pages 145 and here by the time I get here.

Is there a particular reason why dpi had gone from a nice and crisp 380 to 320? I first noticed this when upgrading to 5.2 from 4.6. I was also stuck in the boot to recovery loop. I restored my nand back to 4.6 then tried 5.1, same thing dpi at 320. No big deal just a simple change in build.prop and I'd be good to go. I just wanted to make sure that there weren't any hard coded dependencies at that dpi. With all this real estate 320 seems kind of small to me. Mebby its just my aging eyes?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
why not try poweramp?

Thanks, MJ. Now I know I have an idea of the purpose of some of the SW on there. Doubled up my total xPosed modules.

ALL >>>>> Has any one had issue with a dirty flash over 4.5 or 4.6 to 5.1? I was planning to just wipe /system, davlik and, cache (although I think the ROM already does this) and leave /data alone in order to keep settings. Hmmm now that I think of it, I have a pretty minimalistic, three page setup with three total widgets. I suppose I can easily rebuild from recent backups.

WOW! Thanks 0or the quick reply! :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
The best bet for a semi dirty flash would be to delete your data/data folder. First.

The only issue you would really run into I think would be getting some duplicate apps if you didnt.

Th his could cause some issues.

By ditching your data data folder first you would get a clean install and then any apps you reinstall should still have their settings intact.

Mostly this would only be necessary since I did swap around some app locations between builds.

Though you are correct the install should wipe system and caches automatically.

If I could let it wipe data at the same time install would be much cleaner.

Though I try to avoid that at all costs if possible just so people won't lose data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TeCKNeiC:
I tried PowerAmp, can't remember what it was about it I couldn't work with.

Player Pro does both of those. I'm telling you if you haven't tried it, give it a shot!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I've looked at it, but it's been a while. I'm using Rhapsody and Google Play Music, and Media Utilities can grab all of the track and cover art meta data and pipe it into a Zooper widget, and for the moment, I love that combo. I'll check out the latest build of Player Pro and see what's changed. When I last tried, it didn't like Rhapsody very much.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alexv59:
Thanks for the suggestion. In order to begin from a known base I think I will just do a normal wipe/install. Whatever backed up app had data associated with it I'll just restore the data only from my TB. I tell you, other than some games and some unique system settings my system is pretty minimalistic and not overcrowded with apps.

When one does a nandroid is the data backup just the /data partition and its subs? There's several apps that will let you extract just the data you want from a nand. Thats always an option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
The data partition is just the data and it's subs.

You could usually backup any apps you want the data from right from data/data before wiping.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mhutton:
No its not on the market. I got it from this thread

I already changed the DPi of the gallery back to 480, but even before, when I choose Wallpaper from the home screen, then go through Gallery, it looks correct on the screen when I'm choosing it, but once it's applied, it's zoomed in.
