Hi,

I've installed the 5.4 stock zip through TWRP, applied storage permission through App manager, but everytime I start v4a it says: To use ViPER4Android you must install / update the V4A driver. It goes well, asks for reboot, I do... and BAM! The same thing. Driver status: Abnormal.

I'm on Note 4 Exynos (N910C) Marshmallow 6.0.1. Rooted, busybox installed.

What should I do? Thanks,
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
ViPER4Android is not associated with ViperOneM9 whatsoever. You may use any version in OP - I recommend either ViPERAudio 4.7.1 Stock or 4.8 Sony Beats Edition, the SBE sounds great on HTCM9.

Alternately, you could come check out ARISE, linked to the image in my signature. It's a huge step up in overall sound quality, especially with M9's amp and native Dolby working alongside it as they do. Hope this helps. :good:

First, ensure you have Selinux set to Permissive. ViPER won't "see" the driver if you're on Enforcing.

Second, check /vendor/etc to see if there's an audio_effects.conf - if there is, it's very likely that it's 0b in size or else smaller than the one in /system/etc. Delete it, if so, and reboot.

Hope this helps. :good:

ViPERAudio does support USB audio out, however the FiiO USB DACs are known to have some issues with Android USB audio standard. Do you have any audio at all when using USB out? Does V4A switch to the USB tab when opened while the DAC is connected? Does it still say "not processing" while audio is playing? (It's supposed to say that if there's no audio playing to be processed.)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] slit:
For Selinux set to permissive I've installed Dr. Ketan's v1.1 tool, is that it? It doesn't work so far, so if you know how to set it with another tool, please tell.

About audio_effects.conf I don't have such file.

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Try the Selinux Mode Changer, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524485

If that doesn't work you can accomplish the same thing by entering a root terminal or ADB shell and entering:

setenforce 0
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] slit:
Used Terminal with su permission, wrote that, hit enter (seems ok) but still doesn't work, the same. v4a asks for driver, I "install", reboot but still asks, Driver status: abnormal.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Can you check /system/lib/soundfx to confirm the V4A driver is indeed there? It should be called libv4a_fx_ics.so or some variation of that, I'm not sure if the 5.x driver is named differently but it should be obvious.

If it is indeed there, and you absolutely have Permissive Selinux (I really do recommend that tool I linked as it will show you what it's set to currently as well as change it), then I would suspect this to be an issue with the Samsung platform - [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] might have some insight.

As ever, I hope this helps. :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] slit:
File is there, check.

The tool you've linked me doesn't work, it says "App was unable to gain root access - Superuser manager doesn't allow app to access SU or you don't have root at all. Fix this..." but I do actually have root...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Wow, this sounds like it might be outside my expertise. Just to make sure, are you using SuperSU? Can you update to the latest available and try that tool again?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] slit:
Yes, SuperSU is the latest. Freshly installed (Stock) Marshmallow and ODIN'd latest SuperSU just a couple hours ago. Also, I can directly open it through Play Store. Strange thing is, SuperSU lists SELinuxModeChanger as "Allowed" in its App list.

EDIT: latest selinux is THIS - previous one is broken for MM I guess?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
This is indeed very strange. I suspect this to be an issue unique to Samsung, possibly even unique to Exynos variants or to that device specifically. I do recall seeing a post about a potential fix but it's buried many pages back in the ARISE thread.

Here's hoping [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] will know what to do here.

I have one more suggestion: try the setenforce command and the driver install once more, then Hot Reboot instead of a full reboot. It's possible that Enforcing is being reset on boot, which would explain these symptoms perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] slit:
I suspect it's this. Now the SELinux app works, but everytime I reboot it goes back to Enforcing. How can I Hot Reboot? :silly: Or better, make Permissive status as permanent.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Ok, I've used this script with Universal init.d to force SELinux Permissive, but to no avail driver still asks to be installed every reboot and status: abnormal. Should I give up Marshmallow?

EDIT: NO! I've finally managed it,

1.- After installing Marshmallow (wipe data/factory/dalvik) I've rooted with TWRP and latest SuperSU. Check root is there, done. Install Busybox. Reboot.

2.- install this selinux policy fix zip through TWRP, reboot. Install Viper4android 2.4.0.1, open, install driver as it asks, reboot. Check driver status inside Viper4android, should say Normal. Good to go!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] nik_123:
I removed every file and folder associated with viper.

What I found is the new profile is saved in different folder. I am not able to locate that. Secondly the emulated/legacy folder is internal storage. When I removed viper folder and then created a new profile, the folder was not generated itself. There is something wrong. I also searched for the profiles but it was not found.

Yes, i hear audio when using USB audio out through Poweramp and routed to DAC but the V4A driver says it is not supported.

V4A doesn't switchwes to USB Tab when DAC is connected..still says not processing

i am attaching screenshot for both DAC connected and not connected

May be the sampling rate is not supported by V4A since sampling rate is converting to 24 bit 96000 Hz
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] slit:
Now I'm facing another problem. V4A is hit and miss. Sometimes it processes sound, sometimes not. Even when skipping tunes in the same player/session. I'll ellaborate:

Playing tunes into Winamp (which worked perfectly in 5.1.1 w/this) doesn't trigger V4A - Neon: Yes, Activated: Yes, Status: Normal, Audio Format: Supported, Processing: No.

Playing tunes in stock Music player works for the first song. Once I swap to another song Processing goes No...

Tried to uninstall/reinstall driver, worked for the first song and stopped again. I've even edited deep buffer stuff out from audio_policy.conf

I'm clueless.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] any help please?

Backup your system first. Restoring to a nandroid backup without V4A is how to uninstall it. Other than that, just flash it.

Installation issues on Oneplus 3

So, I just got an RMA replacement for my OnePlus 3, running stock OOS 3.2.2 (rooted), Elem X kernel, and trying to install V4A 4.8 Sony Beats Edition. I'm following the installation instructions from the OP. V4A will not show up in my app drawer despite the fact that appears to install cleanly.

Interestingly enough, it installed (and ran fine) on the faulty OnePlus3 running OOS 3.1.1 (and 3.1.2).

I installed "ViPERAtmos 5.4 Stock.zip" on my OnePlus3.

Viper4Android only works when I check "Force Enable V4A". And it only works for 5-10 Seconds. After that time you can hear the music quality change and Processing says "No". When I restart Spotify it will work again for a few Seconds before Processing will stop again..

Any advice?

Flash one of the A.R.I.S.E. mods instead. I spent a lot of time trying to make the stock zip work, but no luck. 5.5 Sony Beats zip works on my OP3 but battery seemed to drain a lot quicker. You could give it a try if you want. I was using convolver and Dolby together. Your experience might differ.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kyzn:
That's a convoluted way of doing a clean flash. And wholly unnecessary to be honest. Wiping everything except for internal storage once at the start is more than enough.

Wiping cache, dalvik/art after flashing may cause errors. Happened to me a couple of times.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] pizza_pablo:
Really? I have been wiping caches after flashing anything new, for years.

Perhaps this is why things conflict sometimes.

I can't recall where I read to do that, but it was most likely in xda.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kyzn:
Yep, that was here on XDA. I also did that too a lot. But lately, a few devs have been saying to not do that anymore because that may remove some stuff needed by what you just flashed.

Does anyone have this working with Android N Dev Prev 5?

I am running the prerooted and cleaned up Dev Prev by Tupac4U.

Then I install RPMod, and I choose NO ARISE, NO DOLBY.

I do this because from previous experience, I was able to get my phone sounding the best with the 5.4 sony beats edition zip on the OP.

Then I install the above zip. (also I d/l'ed and tried the 5.5 zip - same results)

Then there is no sound in call. I can't hear the ringing, I can't hear the other person, and they can't hear me.

If I do all of the above without v4a, everything is fine.

I can even use the ARISE and DOLBY from RPmod and everything is fine.

Then I was told that maybe some older version of V4A worked (on reddit they specifically posted 5.0 stock).

I did not try that one (will try now) but it got me thinking...

I'll try the Viper_AIO_fixes.zip that I have.

I did this because for the longest time (until 5.4) ALL the other viper zips would end up losing the viper quality after some time, or after a notification.

What I mean is that: after X minutes, viper just didn't work. Then I'd have to force close viper, force close music app, reload viper, reload music - and SOMETIMES it would work again. In all honestly usually I would just reboot to make sure I can get it working again. Also this happened when a call came or some notifications.

Anyways, I flash the Viper_AIO_fixes zip (after dirty flashing rom), and then I get the "cannot install drivers due to i/o error".

So then I go to the stock 5.0 zip ---- and everything works!

In this case, the driver is pre-installed so I didn't run into the i/o error.

I guess what I am getting at is - its hard to figure out the differences between all of these and what is causing a problem, because the changelogs are hard to track down.

I would love to get the newest (5.5) working with android N - because I don't have this 5.0 sounding quite as good as I had before.

Sorry for the long story!
