Thank you for the updated files and for offering your assistance.

My question is if guess I will need all 3 files since I am using an edge, do I flash the 3rd file with the 2nd?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] callumbr1:
Just download the zip and flash through twrp.

There should be 2 files in that zip. One for nougat and one viper4android.v2.5.0.5?

Or

You can extract the viper 2.5.0.5 from the zip and manually copy the apk to system/priv-app. Set permissions of apk to rw-r-r. Then using titanium backup freeze sound alive and adapt sound.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] auburn2eugene:
OK so flashing the zip through twrp I won't need to freeze those 2 apps? And I don't need the 3rd zip the "Effect Profile S6 Edge?"

Thanks again for your help. I just want to make sure I get it right. Don't want to end up in a bootloop
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] callumbr1:
1st thing.... In twrp make a full nandroid back up just in case. Its very unlikely that you will get bootloop. But if you want to be safe backup. And backup efs and save externally.

No you don't need the effects profile.

Viper replaces sound alive as the music effects. During flashing it should replace it, sometimes for no reason it doesn't which is why you might have to freeze it.

Personally I think its a lot safer too manually install it and freeze the apps. No flashing needed that way.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] auburn2eugene:
I think that may be the way I have to do it... The zip file isn't working. I've downloaded it twice and tried to install it via TWRP and FlashFire Pro. FlashFire doesn't even recognize the zip file. TWRP recognizes the zip file, but it fails during the flash.

The zip file I got from the OP. It's the Viper4Android-FX-A4x.zip file. The link you gave only had apks, no zip file...

I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth it... I've never had so much difficulty installing this mod. Maybe it just wasn't mentioned to be...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] callumbr1:
In my opinion it is definitely worth it.

Just manually do it, install the v2.5.0.5 apk and set the permissions. Install it in system/priv-app

As long as you have root and permissive kernel that's all you have to do
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] auburn2eugene:
So just place the apk in system/priv-app, set the permissions, then install the apk.

Correct
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] callumbr1:
No need to install.

Just place apk in system/priv-app, set permissions as rw-r-r. Then reboot. Viper will now be on your phone. Open up and grant root permission, install drivers and reboot.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] callumbr1:
Did you sort it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] auburn2eugene:
Just did this morning. I just didn't want to keep asking questions so I just watched a few videos, changed a few settings, and now it's working like a champ.

Thanks for your help. And for the updated app. I like the look of this one much better. I'm still learning my way around it, but my sound is infinitely better now.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Skys777:
The App works, but i dont hear any changes when i turn it off/on. I loaded your settings.

In "Driver Status" shows Neon Enabled: No, Enabled: No Status: Abnormal.....

I tried to reinstall the driver, but it doesnt work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] callumbr1:
Is your kernel set to permissive?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Skys777:
I solved the problem with another tutorial. I just flashed guitardedhero's version with TWRP and renamed in "/vendor/etc/" the audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak.

I dont know why but it works now on my S6 edge.

Still thanks for your help :)

Try to disable selinux in viper developer options. See if it works then. If so you will need a permissive kernel.

For those who has convolver not work, just copy irs to kernel folder, not irs folder inside kernel. It should work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] choffan:
Hi All,

after several attempts, I managed to install 2.5.0.5 Viper4android on my Samsung s6 edge. Edited instructions follow:

Steps:

1) Download the flash file "ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip" (just google it or retreive from this forum, kudos to the hero who created this flash)

2) Flash ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip with FlashFire. I forgot which options I ticked in Flashfire in order to make it functional.

==> If you did everything correct, at this stage you should be able to locate Viper4Android app in the app shelf. Furthermore, by checking 'driver status' in the app: it MUST appear everything is working fine (no "abnormal" state flagged).

3) If you want Spotify to work and maybe other audio/video apps then Samsung's "SoundAlive" must be removed or disabled. Options:

Backup then freeze or delete "SoundAlive 2.0" with 3C toolbok (since Titanium Backup is no longer free)

Backup then delete the "/system/priv-app/SoundAlive_Tablet_20" directory with a File Manager that has RW "/system" privileges

Remove "SoundAlive" with an app like "System Remover app" found on the Playstore

The above step may be un-necessary if, like in my case, sound alive was NOT present.

4. Locate the audio_effect.conf file under "/System/etc/" and rename it to "audio_effect.conf.bak". This is to save a copy of original file in case you need to revert back.

5. Download the new "audio_effect.conf.zip" (attached to post 1 ) and extract the "audio_effect.conf" from the zip to the "/System/etc/" and "/vender/etc/" folders. Make sure the permissions are set to "0644" after dropping the audio_effect.conf in both locations.

6) Reboot your device and then start Viper4AndroidFX and install its drivers when prompted then reboot once more

7) Start the Viper4AndroidFX app and configure audio for the device speakers/headset/bluetooth as desired. Please refer to Viper4Android XDA forum for details about the extensive options.

IMPORTANT FOR SPOTIFY HEADPHONE FUNCTIONALITY: in order to correctly link Spotify to Viper4android, you have to tap on "equalizer" in Spotify / setting. You will be prompted to Viper4android and the two should be successfully paired.

Does this work on J7 prime (G610)?

I wanted a fix on my audio... need help

[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] badzmobiletech:
Its now all working... thanks to this tut! ?

I'm using samsung music player.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Vaira:
I thought I could share my magisk module here…I am still using my s6 edge because it has great sound especially in combination with USB audio player pro and viper.:laugh:

It prepares Android 7 on Galaxy S6 edge F version to install viper4android apk on it.

Why this special module and not those from the official magisk modules?

The viper modules from the official downloads are made to have v4a installed on many different devices BUT do not address the Samsung’s own config. and system properly! For instance they do not remove soundalive and adapt sound!

Why prepare and not full install?

To my experiences viper runs best when installed manually as normal apk.

What it does:

Installs a proper modified audio_effects.conf to both locations (system and vendor) for the Galaxy S6 edge SM-G925F.

Removes soundalive and adapt sound (does not disable only)

Installs the viper driver.

Sets proper SE policy for media and audioserver.

How to:

-Simply flash my module via magisk manager and reboot.

-Go to official viper page and install version 2.5.0.1. (I use the one with Nougat_IO_test_fix, you can install any modification of the 2.5.0.1 version, though).

It will run without any issues/interference.

It won’t get interrupted by other sound processing libs, but still has original processing for voice call etc. working.

It works with USB audio player pro’s own hires direct drivers for most of quality.

This combination I recommend for best sound quality.

If you want an additional volume boost on the hardware level just open my magisk module and copy the attached mixerpaths.xml into it to system/etc before you flash it through the magisk manager.

No other official one of the magisk v4a module I have checked does modify the S6 edge properly (Samsung phones generally).

The module passes safety net of course as well…enjoy.

First thank you for doing this.

My question is how do I "extract" a file to more than one directory/folder? Once I extract it to the first location you listed, how would I re-extract it to another folder?

Thanks in advance and while I'm no expert, I'm very comfortable renaming apks or moving them around , changing permissions using root explorer, etc

[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Lienot:
In the "S4" Days (or was it NOTE??) you had to change the mixer_paths file a little bit to boost the headphone volume.

There were different files, a mega loud boost, a middle boost and the stock volume again.

If anyone can change the file so that the headphone ourput is a little bit louder it would be very very cool. I think I have an old file somewhere. Perhaps I can use some parts for the S6 Edge file??

Have a nice day,

I have installed BusyBox and then ViperOne.

The ViperOne doesn't work at all, no differences if I activate it or not (or if I change presets or thing like that). The driver are fine.

I can't get to install it through priv - app, maybe that's the problem.

I give all the security to the folder and the app and set to R/w through the explorer but when I try to install it it just says "application not installed".

Hope I managed to explain with my poor english skill.

First issue, what is ViperOne? Do you mean Viper4Android?

Second, are you sure you are rooted?

Third, what did you use to get BusyBox installed?

And lastly, have you tried using this version of Viper4Android:

If you can't get it to install in the "Priv App" it simply will not have enough access to install correctly. Do make sure you reboot/restart your phone to allow the system to install the apk.

Flashable Zip - Test #2

Let me know if this flashable zip works. Flashing Instructions:

1. Make sure you have Busybox installed

2. Disable/freeze the System apps "Adapt Sound 4.0" & "SoundAlive 3.0"

3. Reboot into recovery and flash this zip.

Again flash at your own risk. I've not tested this as I'm still waiting on an official TWRP Recovery release for the S6 Edge.

My To-Do List.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to automatically disable/freeze the existing audio apps (Adapt Sound 4.0 & SoundAlive 3.0) without uninstalling them. If there is any flashable zip experts out there pm me.

It's got a few bugs but you're definitely on the right track. Nice job!! Thank you

If it helps, force close of V4A on boot until SELINUX changes to permissive mode in about 4-5 seconds and then it is good.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] nappent:
That's odd you need to change SELinus to permissive. I'm on a stock rooted rom and V4a runs with out any FC's nor any change to SELinux. This must be a twrp or custom recovery issue. That said, my old Nexus 5 needed to be on permissive for audio to be routed through V4a, but still no FC's. Are you using a app to change the SELinux to permissive or is it a script running at boot? If app, move/re-install that app under the /priv-app/ folder and maybe it will launch faster to prevent the FC's.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
I am using an app to change to permissive.

I'll throw it in priv-app and see what happens but I think everything is good now.

The force close pop up on boot was defiantly due to a prior failed install.

All good after a restore with stock tar/Odin and TWRP 2.8.6.0v2 flashed.

Confirmed working with Google Play music, Pandora, I Heart Radio and Rhapsody on my device now.

I don't know for a fact that I even need to change SELINUX at this point. I just always have had to in the post KitKat world and figured it was needed.

I will try and run V4A without changing mode and see what happens.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
After a full restore, WITHOUT SELINUX changed to permissive mode, I am stuck on boot with "Unfortunately, Viper4Android FX has stopped " No Nandroid this time, was feeling lucky lol oh well

It worked with the residual files from failed install really well. I will nuke everything and try again.

It still MUST have SELINUX set to permissive but I could care less about an error popup on boot for a few seconds to have V4A back on my new Gs6 Edge.

I probably speak for many of us saying how much I appreciate this!

Thank You.
