Installed Ultimate Note5 Hybrid Stock v1.2 ROM from tx_dbs_tx and followed the instructions for installing Viper Stock 5.4, but I am having some issues with the install. I have a few posts regarding this issue in tx ROM thread so i am sorry for running this question to two places, but someone there said that he had no issue installing Viper on his phone, exact same as mine. At the risk of sounding redundant, I hope someone here can help me out.

So, I followed the install instructions for Viper 5.4 stock on a clean install of the ROM. Opened Viper and it prompts me with "....you need to install/update V4A driver...." I select yes to update now, prompts me with "driver installed, please reboot" message, I reboot and open Viper and have the exact same issue over and over. No matter how many times I click yes to install the driver and reboot, it just isn't taking. When I check the driver status in the menu section, it reads that there is a 0.0.0.0 version. I have attached the following shots of my phone. The other guy who had a successful install has the exact same set up I have. What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Lord. Tech:
i did it as u said and it installed the new drivers, but i got constant reboots every 15 min, they stopped after i uninstalled the driver, could xposed be involved? it has never haapened before, ever :/:confused:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Roarmaster:
Hi, so the htc one m8 has just received a DU official build and i noticed that a viper|atmos build for my phone doesn't exist. Is there any chance that I could flash a build meant for another phone? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Stephenparrigin:
Just thought I'd let you know I figured out what app it was. Turns out greenify was causing me problems. All good now though.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
It's a complete Sony Music package minus Sound Enhancement because it sounds terrible with ViPERAtmos.

Stock audio effects disabled?

Thanks again man. :good:

Not sure about auto play with just headset. The car Bluetooth is certainly sending more intents than the auxiliary connection. Tasker is always an option.

4.8.1 is my favorite. It is the final version I designed before focusing on adding/replacing files to fix in-call volume issues.

If on Marshmallow, ensure Storage Permissions are enabled through the app's App Info page.

Uninstall driver, reboot, open v4a, install desired driver when prompted, and reboot. There's a possibility the included driver from the mod is not the driver v4a would choose for your device.

4.8/5.5 is what you want, compatible with all roms and Pulse. :good:

:good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
Uncheck Mount Namespace Separation in SuperSU's settings and reboot. You may need a Permissive kernel if that doesn't work
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] fawltytower66:
Yeah definitely use permissive kernel what one are you using
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] adm1jtg:
You did it to me again go away for a little bit and now there is a 4.8.1....... i just finished loading 4.8 lol... any major differences?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
Dang it. Just flashed the latest in the OP and wiped cache/david and it's been bootlooping.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
Not sure how David felt about that but:p...

At the very least Try wiping /system /cache /dalvik then flash your ROM+GApps+V4A

Or install with a clean flash.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

I would stick with 4.8 for the time being, as the version(s) proceeding it are affecting in call volume among other things.

I will note though 4.8.1 sounds unbelievable so you are more than welcome to try it, just be aware issues may arises.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] fawltytower66:
Yes it's on another level the difference is for me at least incredible
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] suaverc118:
Good Lord... That's my problem, I wiped DAVID lol! Thanks

I know before I would just flash right over my whole set up without issues. I'll try reflashing mY ROM again.

Understanding Audiophile profiles

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] I am using your audiophile profile, I could understand that these files /data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android are for convolver impulse response selection. What is this folder "/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android" for?? How could I use different audiophile profile in Profile folder??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
The /ViPER4Android folder should contain 3 other folders,

/DDC, /Kernel & /Profile. There should also be only one storage location for the V4A app, So using either

" /data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android "

Or

" /storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android "

but not both.

I would try save a new user Profile and see witch location it saves to, then continue to only use that one storage location, you could then just delete the unused /ViPER4Android folder.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Just tried almost all the Dolby Atmos Sony Beats versions to see which one worked and which one didnt. I tried the builds from 4.7.1 to 4.8.3 and all versions newer than 4.8 gave me the "no in call volume" bug. I've been doing a lot of flashes and wiping, etc, for the past hour. Downgrading doesn't help, but only dirty flashing of the ROM then flashing the last working v4a works. So now I'm on 4.8 and everything is fine. For me this bug consisted of absolutely no sound on both ends during a call, except for probably some very soft cracking. I couldn't hear the person on the other end and she couldn't hear me either. It was like all the calling volume system was completely disabled. Both microphone and speaker were dead. I even tried it with my headphones plugged in but no luck.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] fawltytower66:
Also if you still have probs go too the zip with viper inside open it and tap on Apk and let it install then viper will run as user and system it may fc first time but that's normal
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aqilsoomro:
How to create a new user profile?? and how to select audiophile profiles from that location to use with V4A?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Choose your sound settings on the various options, when you're satisfied tap on the three dots on the upper right and you'll see save effect profile, as well as load effect profile to load profiles.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] agabey_42:
note3 n900 exynos Did you support?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Paschfire:
From in the V4A app hit the 3dot menu(top right) then select 'Save Effect Profile', in the popup menu select 'New Effect Profile' name it something you will remember(eg. test123) then hit save.

Once done look in either /ViPER4Android folder storage location, looking in the /Profile folder for the test123 Profile you just saved.

Once you locate it you will know witch storage location to use.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Good looks. Going to go head and flash it along with 4.8.1.

If someone already has viper working (regular viper package) on oneplus with enforcing.. How would they go about flashing 4.8?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aqilsoomro:
Did this and looked in both locations but saved in neither?? What am i doing wrong?? Storage permission is there for viper for android.

Did this as well but didn't load profiles yet??
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] fawltytower66:
In viper press menu top right then add new profile just put your name or anything you want . Then install new profile then look in both locations and you should see your profile in one of them
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] aqilsoomro:
Didn't get it any of both locations.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TheQuicken:
Well, that didn't work. I sure wish I knew what that other dude did to get Viper to work. I have the exact same setup as him. I unchecked mount namespace in SuperSU to the recommended setup. I have the kernel that came with the ROM, I presume it is stock. I am still getting "install driver" prompt even after rebooting a few times. According to the OP, this should work with both permissive and Enforcing SElinux. What is preventing this driver from installing.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johan111:
You need to change the permissions of the v4a folder (where profiles are saved, data>media>legacy) to 777 (rwxrwxrwx). then it should be possible to save and load profiles. If not, then reboot.

ViPERAudio 4.8.1.1-1 Sony Beats Edition.zip?

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] JaylanPHNX:
I'm on Oneplus One (using Slimsaber ROM) and 4.8.1 works fine for me with SuperSU and enforcing.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
Thanks for the info.. Did you have a previous viper installed prior to flashing 4.8.1?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Phrodini:
I flashed the newest Sony music player and it works with viper. I didn't have to do any additional things, it just worked right away. I still prefer usb audio. Sony's layout might be better but not the sound. Still a good player nonetheless

Maybe settings and go to sound effects?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] JaylanPHNX:
Yeah. Just wipe system along with caches and flash ROM, gapps, SuperSU, and 4.8.1. You'll be good to go.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] vibrantliker:
It was a new rom I tried. I flashed my nandroid and it was working but I prefer usb audio also. Onkyo isn't bad either.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Hi [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION],

To clarify, 4.8 works excellently, however beginning with 4.8.1 I've been getting no audio at all besides those mentioned pops - like what other users are reporting in call, but everywhere, on any audio output. I'd like to get a ViPERAudio Sony Beats of your latest testing you're working on (4.8.1.1?) since I see several reports that it's yet higher quality. Hopefully I'll get to hear it... :good:
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] RSDamasceno:
V3 Release

I "created" a package with the profiles in #2 + with many many many profiles that collect long time, and upload here:

.

* A good starting point for beginners *

* Credit to the creator of the profile is the profile name (if possible!) *

.

Change log V3:

* 150 profiles (81 IRS + 4 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAudio 4.8.2 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

Change log V2:

* 100 profiles (62 IRS + 2 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAudio 4.7.1 Sony Beats Edition

* 50 profiles (50 IRS + 2 VDC)

* All revised with ViPERAtmos 5.3 Sony Beats Edition

* All profiles tested in my Moto Maxx / JBL-J22 / Samsung F5555WK via Bluetooth

.

Just extract to your ViPER4Android folder

Next releases

* I plan to review more than 290+ profiles that collect

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] krittin98:
I am facing an audio break issue. Tried using Poweramp, VLC & Apollo. Whenever, I am listening to music, the audio stops altogether after some time, and then I need to restart my phone to fix the issue. I am on Resurrection Remix 5.6.5. I have an Android One First Gen device.

Secondly, if I need to update my ROM, do I need to flash the Viper|Atmos zip again?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gil80:
hi all.

So I was able to make V4A work in SELinux Enforcing by adding

#! /system/bin/sh

/su/bin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { execute };"

supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"

to 50viper.sh under SU.d folder.

But must use SuperSU.

anyway, I'm using ViperAtmos 4.8 Sony beats.

it comes pre installed with drivers.

are they the super quality drivers?

how can I tell the difference from the stock V4A to this Sony beats edition?

how do the sound effects come into affect?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
Looks like ViPERAtmos Sony Beats 4.8.1.1-1 (post 8073) is having the same issue. Even with ViPER and Atmos both switched off, I get no audio except intermittent cracks and pops. Back to 4.8 again...

Absolutely amazing results over here.

Hi guitardedhero,

Once again thank you very much for sharing your awesome work. I just wanted to share with you what I've been using with optimal results and see what you thought. I'm on Shamu running pure nexus (latest) and elite kernel (latest). Under sound in kernel auditor I have all checked and +10 on audio. In mixer settings I set all 85 to 89. I flashed your viperatmos 7.0.3 extreme music zip then I flashed Project+Desire+Universal+V.L.U+Two+Aphrodite+ViPERAtmos+Edition, then ViPERAtmos_4.6_Sony_Beats_Edition. That way I end up with viper,atmos,beats eq app from extreme, and project desire app. I'm using the Sony headphones you recommended. The sound quality has been absolutely amazing. I get punchy bass with crystal clear highs, and just the right amount of clarity. Anyway thank you for making this possible and may God bless you and family.:D

I have been trying to install this on a Note 5 N920I on Marshmallow (SElinux Enforce) without any success. I have tried Viper fix from Dr. Ketan, unchecking "Namespace" in supersu, viper4android_supolicy. Nothing works. Every time I open V4A, i was asked to install driver. At this point, I am thinking the only solution is to wait for a method to change SElinux to Permissive. Anyone with success story please share.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gil80:

It can work with Enforcing but you must use superSU And busybox by MEEFIK not the other busybox by stricsson
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
I just realized that I never removed a file that I needed for 4.8.1 to work for me which caused no volume whatsoever for me. This 4.8.1 has been corrected. Please try it on a fresh /system. :good:

What does the Driver Status display at those times?

I'll add read and write, thanks for the info! :good:

You'll need a Permissive kernel to run without root. Enforcing requires SuperSU.

I believe it works fine with a Permissive kernel.

Permissive.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] gil80:
don't forget to mention the must have busybox by meffik and not stricsson and SuperSU and not other SU apps

I use jrummy busy box no issues meefik has problems for me
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] auky:
I tried meffik busybox and during the V4A driver installation process, it went a lot quicker. 1 sec compared with 10 secs but still, after reboot, it is asking me to install again. I did edit the 50viper.sh file per your post and am using SuperSU, no luck so far. I noticed after reboot, meffik busybox was removed. Not sure if that is the issue. The libv4a_fx_ics.so file is in the /system/lib/soundfx/ folder.. which means the driver is installed, but it v4A said otherwise.

Update: Tried JRummy, same thing :(

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] guitardedhero:
How much free /system space shows to be available when you navigate to /system? Did you uncheck Mount Namespace Separation in SuperSU's settings? Permissive? You might try Uninstall Driver from v4a's menu, reboot, and try again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] :
What file needs to be removed? I have enough /system mods in testing right now that I'd much prefer to remove manually if possible - a clean flash will set me back literally days.

If it's not practical to go about that way I'm gonna hold off until a later testing release. I've had my phone working maybe 1/5 and in recovery 4/5 because I beta test like nobody's business.

try to uninstall and try again. make sure V4A has storage permission under its app info settings.

also, having other sound fx apps will conflict with v4a
