What busybox app did you use to install busybox?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Ne'ran:
irs

Some ppl in this thread already mentioned it, but no one responded to it.

IRS is still not working for me and I don't know why, some settings like headphone surround + won't work as well. I installed the official v4a apk instead of the linked one, somehow I couldn't get it installed in priv app for some reason.

BTW thanks for the instructions OP.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] TheMathMan:
Is your SELinux set to permissive?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Ne'ran:
selinux doesn't work for me. everytime I set it to permissive it will change immediately to enforcing again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] jsbutran:
I think you need to make instructions simple. Kindly indicate you need to copy file in mentioned directory or create folder. what permission to be given. How to get profiles to load. In OP you never mentioned to create any folder Viper4Android. where is this folder created... which directory.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] mrnovanova:
All of them. Busybox free, Busybox pro and Busybox installer. What's that selinux thing anyway?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
That happened to me.. I found an older version on Aptoid and it will stick..

I will point out that with just flashing the version of TWRP/ V4A posted a few pages back, it worked perfectly for me without doing a single thing after flashing zip.. I am using Ktoonz kernel but that was flashed after the fact.. I did NOT have SELinux set to permissive and I did NOT put anything in Prv/app folder.

V4A confirmed working with every media player from Google Play to YouTube to Rhapsody etc..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] jbarcus81:
I'm stuck on step 3.. my system won't allow the write of the file.. I tried.. in terminal mount -o remount,rw /system but says denied.. I'm on the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge with PingPong root..

Carry on..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] loudaccord:
I'm impressed. Worked perfect as I followed the directions to the T. Just this last part, I was looking for the folder in system apps... it was on my SD card. Was able to import and like I said... I'm impressed.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Ne'ran:
Well I rooted my phone with pingpong and I don't want to trip Knox by flashing something.

Also, none of the selinux mode changers work, tried all versions
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
Well I certainly understand you're Knox concern.

In my case SELinux 2.0.1 or lower would work but it probably

isn't needed. Hopefully someone will come up with a working solution

for you and many others concerned about Knox and warranty being void.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Redmed427:
Does this only work while using a stand alone music player? Or is it still working during google play music and YouTube?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] wallacerp:
Working great on G925f rooted with pingpong. Had a bit of an issue at first, followed all the steps in original post but couldn't get it to work until I installed the pro version of busybox. Now it's working great, what an improvement. Also BIG Thanks for uploading your sound profile... Loving it :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
It is working on every music/ video app I was able to find including YouTube and Google Play music
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] kossiewossie:
followed the steps and working perfectly on my Bluetooth headphones! Thanks a lot! :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] mrnovanova:
I install the pro version of busybox too and it still says that I have no busybox when I try to install drivers. Have you managed to install drivers?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Pellotto:
Thanks for the guide. Have it working and very impressed with the difference.

What is NEON? In the driver status it says it's off.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] mellomelon45:
I posted this question before as well with no answer. Hopefully someone can explain this
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
Hope this gives at least a basic understanding. ..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/neon.php

The url for anyone interested. ..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Pellotto:
Thanks for the info. How do we turn it on? Do we want it on?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
This is my setup and every media player I can find works..

Edit: my Tab Pro says enabled under Neon but it's running 5.1.1 with custom kernel which I'm sure makes a difference in setup with V4a.

The best I can say is it works, there was no ability to select sound quality during driver install but for it to be working at all this early in the game on my 925t, I'm thrilled...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] wallacerp:
Yes I got them installed. Before I upgraded my busybox to the pro version I uninstalled Viper4 then installed busybox pro then re install Viper4, You could maybe try that (if you haven't already).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] mrnovanova:
Did exactly that and it's still a no go. Thanks for replying.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] loudaccord:
Viper says that neon isn't enable like the image you posted. Is this kernel dependent? I have 925v with stock everything.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
I'm using a custom (permissive ) kernel in my 925t and my Tab Pro.

One has NEON enabled and one doesn't. My feeling is that it is all about the arcatecture of the Exynos processor that NEON shows disabled on our s6 edge..

My 2 cents
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] OneZeroEight:
Can't seem to get it to work. At least, I'm not sure if it's working...

Hey. So I'm new to V4A. This is the first time I'm installing it. I followed the directions to the letter. But I don't hear a difference and I'm not sure if it's installed correctly. So I have two questions as of right now:

1. The reason I quoted this person is because I'm using poweramp(always lol) and those two options you say to untick, are greyed out. So unticking isn't possible. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

2. I believe it was the OP who had the profile to try out.. I'm not seeing a folder named "profile" in the V4A folder. And the only V4A folders I have are the one I made in "Priv-App" and the one in the "system/app" folder. Am I supposed to create the profile folder?

Hmm... Now that I'm thinking about it, perhaps there isn't a folder named "profiles" in the "system/app" folder because I haven't created any yet. Could that be right?

Other than that... The only other reason it could be not working is the fact that I didn't make the actual V4A app war or whatever... Maybe?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] loudaccord:
For #2, the folder is on your SD card.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] OneZeroEight:
Not on mine...

I don't have a V4A folder anywhere on my SD card. And I know you mean the device storage. The only V4A folder is the one I put there in my downloads folder. The same one I copied into "system/priv-app". What am I doing wrong for it to not be there then?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] conflikt:
Tried to get this to work with verizon s6 followed the steps and kept freezing
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
Why is everyone doing this drop the apk in prvt/app thing still?

That was to get earlier versions of Lollyviper to run on very early test builds of 5.0 and it did work, I used that method last year.

Flash the zip from the OP a few pages back and done. Have a beer, make a sandwich, it works everywhere.

If it don't work then you either have not flashed the correct recovery (there is only one that will work), or you flashed the wrong V4A zip.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] desmayas:
follow the first post, it work on my G9250. and work on stock music player & poweramp.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] ericdmiller:
I had the same issue as you, as soon as I changed the permissions on the files I dropped I noticed the audio improve.

Thanks.

I've got Viper4Android installed but sometimes it only works for certain apps, or even certain tracks within an app will only work.

Anyone have any input on this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] cowboys4life22:
Getting status of abnormal on driver status. ATT s6 edge rooted if anyone can help get it working.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
If you installed the apk then switch V4A to FX Compatable mode and it will work on Google Play at least.

If you flashed the "twrp/V4A.zip" from a few pages back, then you're missing Busybox or something...

That zip works EVERYWHERE with all media players for me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] nappent:
Wow. Please read the second paragraph in the Op. Sounds like you don't meet that requirement. Plus look at how all other apps are organized in the priv-app folder. It isn't that hard to figure out how to mimic it.

As for loading my profile try reading the readme.txt file included in it. Again if you don't understand the basic instructions, don't do it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] nappent:
Because official custom recoveries are still not available for all devices. When they are, the flashable zip will be the only install option and I'll update the op. .
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] SupahDave:
Great job on putting this tutorial together, Nappent. The only step I had to do that wasn't mentioned was to set the permissions of the V4A directory that I made in /system/priv-app so that the system would recognize the apk correctly. Thanks for posting this. This is one of my favorite mods and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get it to work on my phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] djsnake210:
I copied the apk into the priv-apps folder, set permissions, and rebooted... but when I go back into ES File Explorer and try to run the apk it says Error Parsing Package. Am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Kaahru:
Calls distorted

I was getting a really loud distorted noise on calls.

Am I the only one?

I did the mixed_paths.xml thing before, and when I tried to revert it with the previous mixed_paths.xml.BAK to see if it was because of both V4A and that colliding, it just soft-bricked the phone on the restart, so that not even ODIN worked, i'm using the Emergency Smart Switch recovery.

I will try again by just installing V4A, but would be nice if someone confirms that he can do calls properly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] SupahDave:
I had to set permissions to the folder and then copy the apk over...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] djsnake210:
Yeah I set the permissions on the folder and the apk in the folder...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] SupahDave:
I followed the instructions exactly as stated and I'm not experiencing any distortion.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] djsnake210:
This shows where I have the file, the permissions, and the error that I'm getting.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] thlinx:
Thanks op finally got it back. Now next challenge is irs files convovler. Any updates for that?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] nappent:
Sorry I don't use that aspect of v4a. Not sure what is causing it to not work. Maybe future updates from the developer of v4a will address them.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] djsnake210:
I got it working... I just needed to add the Execute permission to all 3 levels for the apk then rebooted.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] SupahDave:
I had to set my folder permissions the way they are shown in this picture and then copy the apk to the folder AFTER. It will work then. You can tell because the icon for the apk will show the Viper logo instead of that Android thing as shown in your pic.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] wut1997:
apk

When I try to install the apk attatched I get a message saying app not installed. The folder had permissions. What's wrong? When I use the most updated viper apk it just doesn't work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] rshift:
Can't install if you don't have r/w to /system/priv-app.

Make sure /system/priv-app is rw with Root Explorer.

Copy the Viper4.x apk to the folder.

Set permissions to rwxr-xr-x(0755 in octal)

Copy the audio_effects.conf file with rw-r--r--(0644 in octal) permissions

Reboot your device.

Icon will pop up in app drawer for Viper, open and install drivers. Reboot device

With busybox now installed, you can go to Settings, Applications, Application Manager, All and now Force Stop and Disable both Adapt Sound and SoundAlive.

Reboot and Profit! It works with Play Music as well.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
You don't need to install the app, just place the apk in the prvt/app folder and change permissions...

Has anyone gotten the convolver to work? I searched around the thread and it appears others are having trouble with it as well. If anyone got it working could you share how?:)

edit: is there a similar method probably for Galaxy Note 4 N910C? I really miss v4a badly on it :)

would appreciate ur feedback !

I can't get the drivers installed, I have busybox pro, tried the steps on OP but it says busybox is no good...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Xangeon:
Cant get it to work

No matter how many times I tried I couldn't get it to work, I followed the directions fully... this is not the first time i've used v4a, I've rooted every android phone I've had since my gs1 vibrant. When I open the v4a when i'm already listening to music it skips to the next song and the bass boost don't come on. My phone is At&t s6 edge 64gb and im using Bluetooth powerbeats.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] nappent:
What app do you use to listen to music? And are you sure you disable the two apps as I stated in the op?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] lilmikey201:
ive installed viper

can someone tell me the best way to set it up to get the best quality audio

never used this before and dont really know what things do
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] wschamps42:
What would you recommend for my issue?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] wase4711:
since music is such a subjective thing, its impossible for someone else to tell you what sounds "the best" to you..

what I would do, is open google play music, go into the settings, make sure you are on high quality streaming, and make sure viper shows up as your equalizer.

depending on if you are setting up a wired headset, a bluetooth device, or a speaker, go to that slot in viper. Start a song in google play music, then go back to viper, and depending upon how you are listening to it, first enable viper, then go through the options one at a time, and see how different things and settings sound to you.

Play around with that for awhile, so you get a feel for the different things that Viper does, then there are a couple of really extensive Viper threads on xda, where you can get all sorts of setting, presets, and more, and try them out.

here is where the creator of the Viper Mod has his thread, and its a treasure chest of everything you could imagine for Viper..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

It takes alot of playing around and experimenting to decide how you like it best, but I've been using viper for a couple of years now, and once you get it down, and know what you like, you'll always install it first on any phone/rom you are on!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] mellomelon45:
I'm running xtre rom with ktoonsez kernel and I am able to play music through YouTube with v4a but with sound cloud it won't process the settings. It only works with YouTube. I used to have it work on sound cloud with stock rooted before. I'm not sure what's going on
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Xangeon:
Yeah I disabled them as the 1st step, used titanium backup to check that they were. I use a modded pandora with unlimited skips no adds and the stock music player. I've also tried equalizers on the playstore, none work.... are there any mods or tweaks to boost bass or a way to flash beats + Sony xloud without custom recovery?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] :
Where could I find that modded Pandora
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] summersnow38:
Use with Spotify, having followed OP's exact steps...

I used OP's fulsome steps (thank you!) and, while everything appears to be installed right, I don't notice much of anything impacting the actual sound - and what makes me more worried is the Driver Status:

Driver Version: 2.3.4.0

NEON Enabled: No

Enabled: No

Status: Abnormal

Audio Format: Unsupported

Processing: No

Sampling Rate: 0

I only use Spotify to listen to music on my S6 - have I missed any steps, or is the above Driver STatus indicative of it working?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
No it's not working
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] summersnow38:
I see the screenshot you posted...but mine says "Abnormal" with Audio Support "Unsupported" - maybe better asked, is that normal for when you try to use the interface with Spotify?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
I use Spotify and it says supported then also.

"Abnormal ", with any music/video player means something is wrong with the V4A setup.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] summersnow38:
Ah, got it. Thanks for at least confirming something is busted - believed I had it working pre-the new OTA update to push up to 5.0.2 but never checked the Driver Status tbh...I guess no one else is having issues after the 5.0.2 update so I must have done something wrong on the install, can't imagine what though having followed the steps...if only there was a simple way to do this for the S6...thanks for the response.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
This is what it shows while music is playing and V4A working in my case anyway. ..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
I realize it say "no" under processing but trust me it's working

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

No problem, hope you get it sorted out.

I just flashed the TWRP/V4A from the op with custom recovery and 60 seconds later it works EVERYWHERE.

I realize some people may not want to go that route though...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] summersnow38:
110% believe you, just not sure what to do on my phone other than the OP steps (and potentially trying this for a 3rd time...) - seeing suggestions in the master thread re: the audio policy file but that seems like it shouldn't be an issue (the fix they suggested I didn't notice in the S6 5.0.2 audio policy file...)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
I'm sorry I can't think of what else you could try.

What is you're carrier? I assume not Tmo
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] summersnow38:
Nope, just AT&T (US). I don't know, I'll probably try one more time from a full start-over and then if that doesn't work...Craigslist to find someone to come do it proper? Who knows. The built-in sound on the S6 has grown a little bit on me, it's not great but it's not as bad when you have the built-in EQ disabled...which made Spotify/streaming in general very wonky in terms of volume glitches + other things.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
Best of luck to you, hope you get this time..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Peuf:
got the same problem. i tried every step but none of them did work. driver status': abnormal, and everytime I run V4A it always ask me to install driver and reboot. i've tried many version of busibox, from the google play to the pro version but it's always the same. i even root my Gs6 two times to be sure it's well rooted but v4a still doesn't work

[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] wase4711:

Hello,

Just updated from 5.3.16 to 5.4.1 and received following problem: not able to add last name and middle name. Changed account from "Phone" to "Google" and got possibility to add only last name. On the previous version everything has been fine.

Rolled back to 5.3.16 but without any result. Problem is still in place.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verks:
So after messing with this phone for the last few day I decided to do a full reset and wipe everything clean. I did so and after going through the set up process I couldn't get to the home screen. I just kept getting the error that touchwiz stopped. Luckily the restore loaded nova so I could get to the home screen to try and figure this out.

I tried everything from clearing data from the apps menu to booting into recovery and clearing cache. I Googled the error and found nothing I hadn't tried. I then did another master reset and it still won't load to touchwiz home.

Not sure what to do other than exchange the phone. Anyone have any idea?

Hey there,

I'm having the exact same issue and am BEYOND frustrated because usually I can find an answer on Google but it seems like no one seems to know what causes this, but many people have the problem. Did you happen to find a solution?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hertshammer:
Brand new S6 Edge. Out of the box.

I've got this issue too.

Here's the steps I took.

No mobile connection as waiting for carrier to transfer account to new sim.

Connected to wifi.

Touched my S4 to the back to transfer accounts. Entered Samsung account details, requested restore.

Restore completes.

Set up finger print password.

Touchwiz has stopped error. Click OK. It repeats. again, and again.....

Power off, power on. Still get the touchwiz error.

Great out of the box experience. This is not good at all.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoe Lay:
I don't know about the warranty in your country.

My advice is just reinstall the stock rom. It will clean all the problems.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deemarie:
My compromise so far...

The only way I've been able to use my phone so far in the last 12 hours since taking it out of the box is to set it up in "Easy Mode", which for a seasoned android user is not fun, but makes the phone usable. If not for that, I'm having the exact same problem with the error message and not being able to even get to my home page. Since turning my phone on I haven't seen my pages in standard mode yet. Hopefully I'll be able to contact someone today about this since I got the phone set up pretty late last night before noticing the error.
