I spend 8 hours of time installing finally remove the problem was that UHQ Upscaler Was activated XD
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
To follow up with the last part of you're question, no you can not uninstall something that you flash and the apk file changes lib files there so uninstalling the apk would not be a complete uninstall. You would just restore from the NANDROID backup you made and start over if you choose to.

I have posted this set of instructions about 6 times and have been thanked over 20 times for success using this. Bottom line is it will work 100% with Samsung Galaxy S 6 and S 6 edge. Also Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro but I would not be able to confirm any other devices for certain.

From you're post it appears you flashed the zip first (I instructed to install apk first), and may have had another version of V4A installed prior.

Both of these scenarios will likely cause the install to fail.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] elliwigy:
reading his post it appears to me he has everything installed just fine.

It potentially is an issue with v4a not functioning correctly with Google Music. Wasnt there others with issues using v4a with goog music?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] DSR_1106:
Just curious what led you to belive he installed everything "just fine"?

Was it the fact the he did everything in reverse order ? Or maybe it was the prior install of the app, which I clearly stated would cause the instructions to FAIL

I have 8 devices including my HTC m7, and every one of them is working perfectly with Google Play Music and NEON is enabled.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] elliwigy:
he said it shows indtalled, supported, neon enabled and processing is on but audio doesnt change in Google Music.

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

to add, i have an s6 edge (closer to him than an m7) and in our forums some reported issues with v4a and google music.

not saying you are no v4a expert who knows everything since you have 8 devices including an htc m7, just saying everything he stated sounds as if installed correctly and hes having issues with one apk.

on my device if any installation step was off itd read unsupported, abnormal, not processing etc.

Maybe he could chime in withva bit more info
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Teddy-njut:
Can someone give me the exact steps to follow in order to have it working ? I have to admit I'm being completely lost with all these explainations :/

Ftm, my issue is that V4A won't install the drivers, it keeps asking me to reboot saying the installation is complete (I can even see the SU popup granting the rights to V4A)... but nothing.

-I installed an old version, flashed the APK, and installed the last version directly from the link provided by the app.

-I'm obviously rooted, and I changed my SEandroid to permissive.

Thanks a lot for your help :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] droidbits:
Hi everyone. I will try and post my original question again please and sorry if it has been asked but I read the OP and couldn't find the information.

Does this method work on modified custom ROMS (deodexed or odexed) or does it only work on the original Samsung firmware?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Teddy-njut:
I was using it with XStreStoLite and Sixperience 5.1.1 Note 5 port, it was working great.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] droidbits:
Thanks mate for the feedback. Truly appreciate it. Proper click on thanks button given to you!

Thing is that I am on Arrow ROM v10 which has V4A included and I want to change ROM and was holding off so I would not lose Viper but now I can change ROM with your info.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Teddy-njut:
Alright guys, I finally got it working on my Marshmallow ROM, it's just a great enhancement :D But I have one last question...

I figured out to install it as a user app, and appearently, the repertories has changed with marshmallow... Let me explain :

when I was using 5.1.1, V4a used to own a repertory in /system/sdcard, where the app used to save profiles and kernels (DCC's, convolvers, IRS)...

I still have this repertory, at the exact same location, but now that I'm on Marshmallow, I can't load my profiles nor select my IRS, probably because the repertory has changed location since Marshmallow...

I hope I was clear and understandable (Pardon my french, and I didn't use any translator, I swear !) and thanks in advance for your help :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Nezorflame:
Hi. Could you describe how did you manage to install it correctly on Marshmallow? I tried multiple ways and every time I end with Conflicted state...

Sent from the godlike G925F ^^
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Teddy-njut:
Alright then...

-First of all, you need to uninstal completely the app if it's not already done (system/priv-app and data/app, the app folder to delete begins with something like com.vipercn...) and uninstal the app with an app like root Uninstaller.

-If you've installed busybox, then select "uninstall" via the app, but keep it in your phone.

-Then perform a cache/dalvik wipe via TWRP.

-from the play store, install busybox (by stericson), SeLinuxModeChanger and Universal init.d.

-From here, go page 37 and download the viper50 init.d script and the se policy fix. And take the mod audio.effect.conf from the first page

-Disable SoundAlive, AdaptSound and the stock music app (you'll be able to unfreeze after the installation)

-(re) install busybox scripts, set SeLinux to permissive and launch a test with Universal init.d, then reboot to recovery.

-flash the sepolicy fix and the viper50 init.d support. Reboot to system

-Check if SeLinux is still on permissive, then check the universal init.d app which should tells you that there's no support. Enable it and you should be able to apply the viper50 script,which will appear in the list.

- replace the audio.effect.conf in system/etc with permission 644 and put a copy in vender/etc with the same permissions

- install V4a, install the drivers, then reboot

It should be done.

Hope I was clear enough and don't hesitate to come back if you have any questions, well I'm far to be an expert but if I can help ?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] jkeuclid:
Excellent thread, sorry if this has been asked before, but in #4 in the OP, regarding the "audio_effect.conf" files, there is a root /system/etc dir and a root /vendor/etc dir and I understood this to mean these two, however there is also a root /system/vendor/etc dir, how does this play if at all into the equation?

Confirmed working on GS4A SGH-i537 w/LP 5.01, but without the need of the "audio_effect.conf" files.

Had to flash (w/Flashfire) "ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip" explained here and also mod the entries below in build.prop (found in /system folder, edited with ES File Explorer):

lpa.decode=false

tunnel.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=false

"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."

This is EXACTLY what I did first. This and nothing more.

"From you're (sic) post it appears you flashed the zip first (I instructed to install apk first)"

There's no mention of installing an apk first. When this didn't work, I then updated with the link from within V4A hoping this might kick it into action. Can you confirm the exact procedure to install V4A from the flashable zip please as I followed your instructions as given.

Instructions to install ViPER4Android_FX_v2401_A4.x-A6.x.apk on Android 6.0.1 which has STILL an Enforcing Stock kernel rooted with betasuperSU2.68 with systemless root method (default for 6.0.1).

Get ViPER4Android_FX_v2401_A4.x-A6.x.apk from the official page found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

Adapt Sound and SoundAlive must be frozen. I am using App Quarantine which is free.

Install Busybox.

Copy 60viper.sh (which has correct paths for systemless root, it applies the same as the 50viper.sh did in order to have the Neon driver properly installed on an Enforcing kernel) into the already existing folder /su/su.d (where Chainfire's deepsleep fix is located) and chmod it 0700

Now rename your original audio_effects.conf in /system/etc/ to audio_effects.conf.bak

Copy the modified audio_effect.conf (which is the same as on Android 5.x since the original hasn't changed on MM) into it and chmod it to 0644 THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT otherwise you might get it bootlooping.

Copy it again to /vendor/etc/ and chmod it to 0644 THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT otherwise you might get it bootlooping.

Of course the modified files from the attachment have to be renamed to their original names again!

Install ViPER4Android_FX_v2401_A4.x-A6.x.apk but do not run it yet. REBOOT!

Run ViPER4Android_FX_v2401_A4.x-A6.x.apk and install the driver and reboot again. DONE.

I also have attached the modified mixer_paths.xml which gains more volume. I have applied the same changes again to the 6.0.1 version of the F Variant. Other variants might have a different one.

The 60viper.sh script and the audio_effects.conf are universal, though.

**Disclaimer***

I am not responsible for any temporary issues in case something goes wrong. Be aware what you are doing!!! I have tested it myself and it works. This method does not require a permissive kernel.

Good job sir it works on 935F too!!!:good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] GODSPD:
Please help me, I’ve been going nuts trying to get this to work…

Performed a full clean system install twice now…

Followed your steps 101% the only things that you didn’t include was the following:

1)	Busy box to install? By Steriscon?

2)	While moving the files and changing permission set to RW and then back to RO?

3)	There is no other files in vendor/etc – that dir is empty by default?

Here is my Status:

Driver Version: 2.4.0.1

NEON Enabled: NO (in the past during the install I had the option to choose but not anymore???)

Enabled: NO

Status: Abnormal

Audio Format: Unsupported

Processing: NO

Sampling Rate: 0

PLEASE HELP :)

My device is Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Vaira:
Sorry for the late come back...

1) Yes, for example...

2) Doesn't matter since you'll reboot after it.

3) It is not empty (S6 edge) it contains another folder called nxp.

At the 2.4.0.1. version (see changelog) there is only the Neon driver inside hence you cannot choose.

It seems the 60viper.sh isn't executed..check it if its present at /su/su.d and has 0700

This should work on any systemless rooted Samsung Galaxy versions ...anyway the modified files audio_effects.conf/mixerpaths might vary

Thank you very much for your contribution.

I have read through all 43 pages of this thread. I do NOT have an S6, but if what I'm understanding is correct, I'm going to get one.

My understanding is this:

I can root the S6 using PingPong, and install V4A by following your instructions. Afterwards, I will have a rooted S6 running the stock kernel and ROM with the audio enhancements of V4A, AND not have a tripped KNOX counter. Is this correct?

My concern with KNOX is not based upon voiding the warranty, but instead being able to use Samsung Pay.

I currently have a Note5. I just got it two days ago and have 12 days left to return it if I change my mind. Currently, there is no method of rooting that device in such a way that KNOX is not tripped. Once it is, say goodbye to Samsung Pay. While I really like being able to use Samsung Pay, not realizing the benefits of rooting is painful for me, especially having to listen to the rather flat audio output that's not enhanced by V4A. I used V4A on my last device, a Note 2, and have become spoiled by how much better everything sounds.

So if i return this device and exchange it for a 64GB S6 on Sprint, I'll be able to do everything I've mentioned above?

Ok.. Background.

I have rooted and installed ROMS on several devices over 10 years. I'm no developer, but I'm pretty darn proficient.

I used this last process to root after the update:

http://xdaforums.com/tmob...8-zip-t3408162

I have read so many threads on this topic, and tried every single process. Here are the two main ones.

http://xdaforums.com/gala...8#post66048178 - Original post AND #414 (updated for 6.0.1)

http://xdaforums.com/goog...droid-t2543796 - This was the final attempt

I ended up in the final attempt flashing the zip in the last thread, getting everything "working" drivers wise, but NO sound was coming from the device. UGH.

The kicker here I think is the SELinux mode, and although the workaround seems to be the kicker for some, I never got it working.

At this point I am fresh wiping and installing 6.0.1 again until someone with a T-Mobile S6 can give me the steps that worked for them.

Anyone???
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] jooniloh:
Posting here cuz my own device forum has no activity, and it's related enough. Running a Sprint Note Edge with Marshmallow (6.0.1). I have a custom kernel with SELinux set to permissive and have all prereqs (root, busybox, etc.). I've been trying to get viper/ARISE installed and working with no luck. I've done all the build.prop and audio_policy.conf edits, frozen native sound effects, flashed all sorts of things, and done pretty much everything anyone has suggested anywhere to get this to work. As of now, Viper says the drivers are working and processing music, but there is no change in the sound. It's like viper is processing everything, but what comes out of the speakers/headphones has no processing at all. ANY ideas?

Doesn't work on stock kernel, need to flash a custom.

Otherwise, thank for this tuturial!

Probably you already know this, but after some testing I have found out that in compatible mode Spotify is indeed working with viper (at least it does on my phone) in every of the viper's modes but headphones, I mean, if you use the speakers on your device, it works, and if you use bluetooth headphones or bluetooth speaker it works, but sadly enough the headphones mode is not working :confused:

Hi can you help?

Im using viper 2.5.0.5 and the only thing it will work with is apple music. It wont work with soundcloud or even stock samsung music player? I have installed properly as system app with correct permissions and disabled sound alive and adapt sound. Phone is s6 edge. I have tried compatible mode but still wont work. Only works with apple music but all my music is on soundcloud. Any help is appreciated
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] Vaira:
Sorry for the late reply.

I am running v2.4.0.1. Samsung music player is working flawlessly. I did not test spotify nor soundcloud yet.

I presume those apps interfere with viper libraries....one could try to let viper's libs kick them again by fiddling with re-enabling procedures for instance

Play something on spotify, enable V4A for speaker, unplug headphones, re-enable V4A for headphones, plug in headphones again....or similar.

Or disable/re-enable it while playing, or close all apps while playing and have a look if v4a returns first......

I'll have a look at it soon and will reply again, but I do not create an own account there. Hope they can play local stuff to test...

Hi guys. I'm hoping I can get some assistance

The OP is woefully outdated... and I know this is an OLD thread, but hoping someone can assist me.

I am on the T-Mobile S6 Edge (SM-G925T.) I am running the 63% stock deodex ROM. I have flashed the "Twisted Kernel." It is the kernel suggested from the ROM OP. It's basically stock with bloatware removed, permissive, and deodex.

I downloaded the Viper4Android app from the Playstore. I granted it super user permission. It says the drivers are installed correctly, and made me reboot my phone.

For the life of me I can't tell a scrap of difference.

The OP is very old...there wasn't even a custom recovery when this was posted... So I'm unsure of what I should follow of it... I mean since I granted SU privileges, and it says the drivers are correctly installed, should I assume they are?

Do I need to remove (or freeze) those 2 apps listed in the OP? Does this phone even still have those 2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
