Has anyone else tried to install ViPER4Android and have it fail when installing the driver? The error I get says it fails due to improper busy box install or I'm not completely rooted.

I can attest that I'm fully rooted and busy box is installed properly. I've reinstalled supersu, busy box and re rooted to no avail.

After installing TWRP, I decided to flash another audio mod called elements of fidelity http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2765331

And after flashing that viper's driver miraculously installed!

I didn't get a chance to thoroughly look into why we are originally having so many problems installing it on the tab s but I suspect it's because we are missing an audio*. Conf file that it tries to edit but cannot be found.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
V4A made startling improvement to my Nexus 10 speakers, did it do the same with the Tab S's speakers? I only use V4A's to increase the gain with my head set once I bought quality headphones.

Hopefully we'll post your findings in the main V4A XDA thread so they can improve the V4A install base for all Tab S users.

I got the same issue as you guys.

Did anyone contact the devs in the meantime on viper4android and does somebody know if they are working on a fix?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
OK all I have a fix for installing Viper on the Tab S.

Use any file explorer and navigate to /system/vendor/etc

Copy the audio_effects.conf in that location

Navigate to /system/etc and paste the file you copied there

Once copied change the permissions to match the other files in the /system/etc folder

Install Viper and it should work this time, apparently the audio.effects.conf file is expected to be in the /system/etc location and is not there by default for some reason....

For advanced users I suppose you could just create a symlink to the other location also but I didn't try this myself.

let me know if this works for everybody else, so far it has worked on both of my Tab's

Make sure to cruise by the Viper thread and thank metaljim also as he gave me the initial help which headed me in the direction of adding the file to system etc.

Thank you very much for the solution. Only one thing: there is a typo. The filename isn't "audio.effects.conf" but "audio_effects.conf". :)

Here is the version I try with a Symlink and via ADB, which runs fine also:

- connect Tab S via usb-cable and open command shell with access to adb.exe

adb root
adb shell
mount -ro remount,rw /system
ln -s /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf /system/etc/audio_effects.conf
exit

After a reboot the installation of Viper works.

Yeah the period was a typo. What file manager are you using? Are you enabling write permissions to the new folder? You can also create a symlink as described in the post above yours.

EASY Viper4Android FX and XHIFI DRIVER Installation FIX

I wanted to post this to help others who may be struggling with driver installation as I was.

The FX driver installed with no problem, but no matter what I did, the XHIFI drivers would not install.

After extracting the apk of the final XHIFI version available which is Version: XHiFi version 2.1.0.2-1

Codename: X-Factor, I realized that;

1. the /system/etc/audio_effects.conf file did not include the references to the XHIFI drivers

2. the suggested file fixes I found in forums did not work, because they did not reference the latest XHIFI driver names used in the final apk

This is THE SOLUTION for both FX and XHIFI driver installation in case of the above scenario:

1. Unpack the apk and extract the drivers.

2. Find the one that is applicable to your device and add the reference into the library section.

3. Insert the driver file into the /system/lib/soundfx/ folder so that it can be found

This is my file:

libraries {

v4a_xhifi {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_xhifi_ics.so

}

v4a_fx {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so

}

v4a_xhifi {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_xhifi_ics_NEON.so.jb

}

v4a_fx {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_gb.so

}

v4a_fx {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics_NEON.so

}

v4a_fx {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics_NEON_HQ.so

}

v4a_fx {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_jb_NEON.so

}

v4a_fx {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_jb_NEON_HQ.so

}

v4a_fx {

path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_jb_NEON_SQ.so

}

I wasn't absolutely certain about which NEON driver was for my Samsung Galaxy S4 Verizon SCH-1545, using SafeStrap and Stock Rooted ROM, so I included all of them, with no problems as a result.

I rebooted and all was running in tandem.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bataga:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trein91:
Installed it perfectly thanks! Problem now is that it has NO EFFECT at all on the sound. Disabling and enabling it has no effect whatsoever on the audio output :(

EDIT: IDK if the SELinuxModeChanger being permissive helped at all, but I did it anyway. What I found out later was that the only way of activating Viper4Android's effect properly is if you (install Poweramp) and go into Audio>Advanced Tweaks> Tick "Direct Volume Control" and untick "Direct Volume Control" again after. You need to leave it at off. Somehow after doing this Viper works for all apps. However, this is only temporary as the effect goes away after a reboot. Forcing you to do this again and again. !!!!!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Weird for sure, I do not have that problem on any of my devices. Best bet is to try the original Viper thread. Somebody there may be able to help you. You can also try freezing or removing sound fx and disabling nuplayer in developing options. That is if you haven't already.

Viper4android 2.3.4.0 on Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 <> SM-T700 <> klimtwifi

FIRSTLY: This works on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 <> SM-T700 <> klimtwifi with

aicp_klimtwifi_lp-10.0-NIGHTLY-20150813

SECONDLY: This is not my work. I found it somewhere a few weeks ago. I tried to find it again so I could simply point you to it. That would have been much easier.

After dozens of hours trying to get Viper4android to actually have an effect on the audio I found a solution. I used xda references to help me install Viper4android 2.3.4.0 (look elsewhere for help on that, if needed). However, I had to do these additional things for the app to have to *actually have any effect*:

(files attached below)

- Go to

Root folder "/system/etc" & replace the*audio_effects.conf*with the one provided

Root folder "/vendor/etc" &*replace the*audio_effects.conf*with the one provided.

Root folder "/system/lib/soundfx" & add all the libs provided (replace any if needed).

Take care that you don't mess with*audio_policy.conf.

Now just setup your Viper and reboot.

With you method, now everything's working again :D
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbeans2016:
exactly right

never did it before on my asus tab until this time reloading firmware, it was the audio file .conf thing, had to copy it over to etc folder like fix said. Didn't even have to reinstall V4A, just opened app asked to install driver and did it! But along the way I have found interesting stuff, like flashable zips with autostart fixes and flashable selenix stuff. Plus one dude has said you can install v4a xhifi and install fx as well. Does not hinder nor hurt, but takes fx from 16ghz to 32bit mode........ going to try all of this. Who knows, just nice to have Viper4Android again! I did notice busybox, even pro was getting alot of errors it never had before under SuperSU's log files tho...... used SD Maid to reset pro key to original install ........ might have been this that fixed as well. Should have checked in between doing those two items see what driver status was going to be. This Asus Memo Pad 8 181c finally got an update taking it to .191 and others that did not get it *****ed enough Asus posted a full firmware download from an employees webstorage, so got a single flashable update that takes it to final .191 firmware. Could be this that started this issue with busybox and V4A. Never did it b4 this update. At least now this tablets snappy even with just 1gb ram, and issue solved! Whewwwwwww. :cool:

Solutions:

Step by step installing v4a driver

Method 1 :

1. Check ur device is rooted and verify if rooted properly by installing app Root checker on Playstore which is free to install

2. Install BusyBox by Stephen Stericson apk and change the busybox install location to /system/bin

3. Expand Smart Install and tick Enable Smart Install and Symlinks all then Install the busybox.

4. Go to Viper4Android and tap Yes. If whatever the problem persists, go to next method. Do not uninstall busybox that they are symlinks.

Method 2:

1. Download the attachment of this post reply and install it on TWRP / CWM Recovery. It wont work at all unless if you have stock recovery.

2. Wipe Cache and Dalvik then Fix permissions.

3. Reboot.

4. Open ViPER4Android and install the driver.

5. If the driver is installed successfully , reboot now your phone. and you can safely uninstall busybox by stericson apk to save space and do not uninstall applets that are symlinks to /system/bin

ENJOY!!!!

and dont forget hit Thanks if it successfully worked.,.,.,.,.,.,., :fingers-crossed: :D

I m not sure this will work on most devices.,.,.,.,

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohhdayumm:
I had the same problem. You need a kernel or rom that have no knox so that you can change the selinux mode to permissive so that it can function properly. So root then flash a custom kernel and install vp4android and stericsson busy box
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
That's not true, you need to use SuperSU systemless root and a su policy that specifically enables V4A's selinux permissive mode requirements. That is much more secure than enabling selinux permissive mode system wide (any apps). Almost all of the V4A flash files include the required SU policy file along with the V4A apk.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohhdayumm:
Good to know i tried that and it never worked for me thats why but that was from my experience though. If that does work then it does seem easier than flashing a custom kernel
