For those of you that don't know Viper4Android is the probably the best sound mod you can do on any android phone, I can confirm that it works on the Note 5 as my listening experience in the car has greatly improved

Prerequisites

-Must be rooted

-Skyhigh or arter97 kernel flashed

-If no custom kernel is flashed selinux must be set to permissive using the selinux app found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524485

-Download Viper4Android from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

Steps

1. Download and install this zip through recovery http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php...achment.php?attachmentid=3470840&d=1442036930 (Credits to Critical Detox for finding it)

2. Launch Viper4Android and install the driver and reboot

2a. I highly recommend using this IRS. http://d-h.st/VBM

That should be it to get it working, S6 users have commented that you have to freeze a couple of apps for it to work but I can confirm that's not the case. If you have any questions or need suggestions feel free to ask
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Brava27:
I have had this working on every device, previously the S6 using a flashable zip.

Now I cannot get it to process when clicking on driver status it usually says "yes".

I am using a deodexed tmobile rom with Noble kernel. The SELINUX changer says I am permissive but viper4android doesnt want to work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Can you screenshot your setup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dandroid7:
Original Post says you have to use SKYHIGH or ARTER97 kernel...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] adolfo778:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Lmax579:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] adolfo778:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Lmax579:
The viper I installed is the 2.3.4.0 that's the right one right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] adolfo778:
you would be correct
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] drathian1:
Interesting. Are you running in compatible mode, then?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Critical Detox:
I envy all of you for getting to use Viper, I'm trying my best to hold out until I can try Samsung pay beta/release which ever comes first to me then I'll decide to root only after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nihonno:
I've been wondering this for a while now. I noticed in the OP, there was a choice to use a custom kernel or stay with the stock one. Obviously, we need root to get Viper working BUT do we really need a custom kernel to root 5.1.1. On the Note 5? I'm asking because BOTH of my cars miss Viper from my Note 4 and I'm hearing the current Kernels are causing a few issues with the Note 5, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Brava27:
Compatible mode works for me. Not regular mode

Sent from my Gorgeous Note5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] adolfo778:
You can root using the Noble Kernel which is pretty much a stock kernel and then use the selinux app to change the kernel to permissive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] adolfo778:
yes forgot to mention that Ill add that in the OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nihonno:
Thanks for the reply, Adolfo. Are you having any issues with the Noble Kernel? People are reporting things like battery drain, rebooting and or loss of certain features, Netflix not work, etc. I miss Viper but I would like to know that my phone would be fully functional after root. Also, it seems as if only a few Kernels work with the new firmware that was released yesterday.

Keeps getting more complicated. haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Brava27:
Viper4android has nothing to do with Netflix not working, rebooting or battery drain.

Sent from my Gorgeous Note5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nihonno:
While I appreciate the help, Brava, I was responding to Adolfo's recommendation of using the Noble kernel due to it being close to stock. My question was if he's having any issues with that Kernel.

I've used Viper since it's inception so I'm fully aware that it has nothing to do with any of the aforementioned symptoms.

Thanks though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Brava27:
Try arter or skyhigh kernel. Work good

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nihonno:
Hey guys, so I went ahead and took the plunge. I'm currently having an issue with Viper staying "on". It seems af if everything is working then suddenly all Viper effects, ceases. I then have to restart the phone for it to work again.

I check everything I can and the phone says its working but none of the settings have any effect until I restart. Lasts for only a few minutes too.

Anybody else experiencing this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jayy80:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Bobthahog:
I got it working on a few different ROMs but for some reason it won't process on the phone speaker. It shows yes on processing when it is hooked up to Bluetooth. That's really all that matters to me cuz makes my car sound incredible. Currently on MOAR ROM and again it says no one processing when on phone speaker but Bluetooth is working fine.

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Oh yeah, I am on Sprint Galaxy Note 5. I forgot to mention that in previous post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Bobthahog:
For all the people who were having trouble with viper4android processing, like I was, I found that the audio_policy.conf also needed to be replaced. That's why it wasn't working because most of the downloads for V4A only include the audio_effects.conf file. Now mine processes on phone speaker just as it does on Bluetooth. So if you flash the zip that the OP posted it should be all good.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] nonmindo:
flashed the one in the op by sephhi on stock COJ5 rom w/skyhigh kernel and it will only process through Bluetooth A2DP. I've tried in both regular and compatibility modes as well as trying to force it...neon is no, enabled is yes, processing is no

I've checked the build.prop and all of the needed settings are there

tried both YouTube and SoundCloud (I had it working on TEKXodus hybrid, sound cloud you had to stop/start for each song so it was only partially working, but YouTube worked fine and all other apps too)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Megaflop666:
I haven't seen a definitive answer on the processing=no. Is it supposed to remain that way?

I have followed all steps and installed viper on my note 5 and s6 edge+ and can hear the fx changes but still get the processing=no.

Forgot where I got this, but this is the zip I always flash: https://www.dropbox.com/s/behced1nhtigv0g/ViPER4Android_sephhi_all.zip?dl=0

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] khalil20089:
I've installed the app through your procedure, and everything works fine and great on my Note 5 SM-N920C. (Permissive, stock ROM, Modified Stock Kernel).

However, I noticed that after installing the ViPER4Android_sephhi_all.zip, the "Direct Volume" and "BT Direct Volume" options in PowerAMP have greyed out (can't be chosen). It's weird, because I've always used these options on my other phones with V4A!

These options are soo crucial (especially on the Note 5) and without them, the PowerAMP output would be super distorted, when using the built-in equalizer at the same time, and the sound would become horrible.

So, any idea to fix that? And could you please give me the uninstall flashable Zip, or how to remove it?

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Inside viper, open menu. Choose to save profile. name it anything you want ie. "placeholder".

now open up you internal storage and you should now see a viper folder. open that and create folder titled"Kernel".

put all your irs files in there and profit!

Hey guys, any of you interested in a Themed version of Viper?

I am pretty much done with my Themed Viper, just need to write up the How To thread now. I changed it so the colors are defined directly in the apk now so changing them to whatever color you want is super easy now. There are 15 colors defined directly in the apk now that weren't there before. You can even decide if you want to show the V icon in the Action bar or not now. This one was a real pain to theme.

Here is a sample of the before and after with my Blacked out version.

**to all who want to make viper process soundcloud**

This will be of MAJOR interest to all of you who can't make Viper work with Soundcloud! After testing/researching (read: low amounts of sleep) for about 2 weeks, here's the fix.

Prerequisites: Working Viper4Android for other apps (i.e. your music player, Youtube).

I flashed 2.4.0.1 as system app (in my case the file is "Material+Dark+V4A+2.4.0.1.zip" ). It might work if installed as apk user app, I didn't try.

The following is about the technical reasons causing the issue, you can skip to the bottom for the actual solution:

This issue lies into the audio_policy.conf file. More specifically, this is an issue with reduced latency audio...

As per https://source.android.com/devices/a...cy_design.html

The fast mixer ommits:

Per track sample rate conversion

Per track effects

Per mix effects

It seems that newer versions of Soundcloud are using an "enhanced player". It used to be possible to toggle this on/off in prior versions (prior versions were working with Viper), but this option is now nowhere to be found in all newer versions of the app.

So in order to make Viper work with Soundcloud (as well as Tunein Radio it seems), the following needs to be removed from audio_policy.conf :

fast {

sampling_rates 48000

channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO

formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT

devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_EARPIECE|

AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER|

AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ALL_SCO|

AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADSET|

AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADPHONE|

AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ANLG_DOCK_HEADSET

flags AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_FAST

}

It worked right away after a reboot. So there ya have it! Make a backup first just to be sure (copy in other directory), edit the file (located in /etc)

in an editor that is allowed root access

and you're all set! I have to say, that after almost 2 weeks of research, I'm pretty proud at this point!

P.S. I am not responsible if you screw anything up in the process. Use at your own risk.
