Those who have got it to work, could you comment on the improvements on the speaker/headphone sound quality?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
Good to hear that you got Viper working with or without MusicFX disable. Just to double check, to disable MusicFX go into settings / apps / show system / you should be able to see and disable MusicFX after show system is enable. anyway, Viper ROCKS!

Night and day difference. In non technical terms... I can hear the separation of sounds a ton better. Separation from highs to lows to mids. Control over clarity and bass, etc... Just a great improvement overall.

Viper only works using this method through Play Music for me. I can't get it to work with Poweramp or any other mp3 player.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __NBH__:
In Poweramp you have to turn off the equaliser and tone and limit and in the settings under audio, advanced tweaks you turn on use music fx. That makes it use viper. I flashed the viper aio file as that allows viper to work system wide so I can adjust sound for you tube etc and not just listening to music.

I'd appreciate if anyone who actually got this working could assist me. What rom are you using? I'm using Chroma and every time I reboot, Viper will prompt to install the driver. I've tried using several of the busybox methods and none seem to work. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edd247:
Make sure you go to system/vendor/etc and either rename or delete the audio_effects.conf file. If you don't, the driver won't stick for some reason
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __NBH__:
Make sure you disable music fx and delete the file in the instructions then install the driver last.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
I did everything instructed to get Viper working and it works for me, but it is so damn finicky - every other time playing music I have to either go into Viper Audio settings and disable/re-enable the EQ or some of the settings to make it actually work, or I have to swipe away Play Music and/or Viper in recent apps and then start the music up all over again to get Viper working again.

Half the time I play music and the EQ just isn't on even though everything is correct (Rooted, Viper driver installed, Music FX disabled, conf file moved, kernel in Permissive mode).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edd247:
Is viper installed as a system app in priv-app?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
No but what is the best way to do this? I tried the option in Titanium but it just hung loading forever.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edd247:
The easiest way is to use the app Root Explorer (or es), go to /data/app and move the Viper folder to /system/priv-app. Once you reboot it should work better
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
Well i figured that would be easiest but then realized that all apps in system/apps and priv-apps are in folders with files in there aside from just the apk.

What is required in there exactly?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edd247:
The only thing in my folder is the apk. When you installed viper it should have created a folder, but a folder is not needed if you don't have one

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
When I installed it as a normal app? Where would it create a folder?

And how did you install as a system app? You mean manually created a folder in system/priv-app for Viper and just place the apk in there (and change perms on it)? Or some other way?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edd247:
Yes when you install a normal app it will be in /data/app. You can just move the viper folder to /system/priv-app, or flash the file posted above in twrp
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
Thanks! Will give it a shot.

Which folder is it in data\app? I can't find it lol.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edd247:
It should be viper4android. If it's not there maybe it's already in /system/priv-app or maybe /system/app?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pro_b:
So here's what I had to do on the nexus 6P (I'm using Chroma rom). I actually went to this site and added the two lines on this page.... http://www.hacktabs.com/how-to-impr...ity-with-viper4android-audio-drivers-effects/ .... Note that I had to navigate to system\vendor\etc\ and I added those lines to the audio_effects.conf <--- I did not delete this. I just added the lines. then I reinstalled the viper android and rebooted. It stuck.

P.S. Running one of the Viper AIO flashable zips borked my notification sounds so be careful. After flashing it, I got notifications and vibrations but NO sound alerts. Just flash the viperxxxxx.apk file and you should be fine. I hope this help someone until there's a permanent fix.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namelesswonder:
I've moved this guide to a post in the general section, I recommend going there as it will be updated if anything is found: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-installing-viper4android-t3250579

OK everyone, there seems to be mass confusion on what to do to get Viper4Android running.

DO NOT USE THESE FILES UNLESS YOU HAVE A NEXUS 6P. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY USE FILES DESIGNED FOR OTHER PHONES.

Firstly: Are you running normal root or systemless root?

If you are running systemless root, then you will never get Viper4Android running without it being modified so it isn't hardcoded to su. Also it modifies the system partition so you won't be able to use Android Pay anyway.

Secondly: Have you flashed any of the billion V4A recovery zips?

If yes, restore your system partition as those have a billion and one differently modified files that will probably screw over how your phone functions.

OK, now it is time to continue.

Choose your favorite v2.3.4.0 version of V4A and install it to /system/priv-app/. Just create a folder with the same name as the APK, give it the same permissions as the other folders, and drop the APK in it making sure to also give it the permissions that the other APKs get.

If the files linked below can't be downloaded, use the zip file at the bottom of this post and continue following the guide.

Now, download this file (49_viper4android.sh) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcp77ul41mp61zn/49_viper4android.sh?dl=0

And create a folder called su.d in /system/. The path should be /system/su.d/, and then give it permissions 0700 with root:root, and drop the script into the folder with permission 0755 with root:root. This script will allow V4A access to mediaserver, so it can see audio to do it's magic. You can make sure that the script worked on boot by checking /data/v4a_script.txt for if it exists, or, was modified recently to correlate with you booting your phone.

Now do the same for this file (audio_effects.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/57y44o74dk8hi0e/audio_effects.conf?dl=0

And drop the file in /system/etc/ AND in /system/vendor/etc/. Both of the files should have permissions 0644 with root being the owner and group. This modified file will allow V4A to be used as an equalizer and allow it to do magic in your audio.

Now lastly, the last file which will allow V4A to work system-wide, like in YouTube (audio_policy.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/yi8u3j91z33ntua/audio_policy.conf?dl=0

And drop it in /system/etc/ and give it permissions 0644 with root being owner and group, and you are good to go. This modified file removes the "deep_buffer" module that made it so apps that don't hook into Viper4Android (apps that aren't music players) wouldn't have their audio processed. Some of the flashable zips included modified files, but usually only for the Nexus 5.

After that just continue with the Viper4Android installation and you will be good to go.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tw1ser:
Thanks, that worked :highfive: !!! I really wonder how you figured that out? haha

However, how does one make it work in PowerAMP? It works in Spotify and Play Music, but not PowerAMP (FIGURED OUT, SEE EDIT)

P.S. For those like me who have no idea how to set permissions, use Root Browser app :good:

EDIT: Found it! Gotta go into PowerAMP settings -> Audio -> Advanced Tweaks -> Uncheck Direct Volume Control, that should be it, but I have BT DVC checked, and MusicFX unchecked.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
I did the above to a T, but I still can't get the viper driver to stick. I'm running Pure along with ElementalX kernel and the enforcing option was unchecked during installation. I'm also on the newest vendor.

Edit - One of my downloaded files was incomplete. Everything is running fine now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamula:
I have V4A running perfectly with systemless root, and in addition Android Pay still works. Not every modification to system causes AP to fail. The only ones I've encountered so far are regular root, a modified dpi, and Xposed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namelesswonder:
I spent a whole lot of time trying to get V4A to work on systemless root and it never did with all the tweaking I tried. Switched over to regular root and then it starts working just fine.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamula:
Realize now maybe it's because I use a version that has been recompiled to add the selinux policies so on lollipop you dont need to run selinux enforcing. Perhaps it also uses root differently. Don't know if it's due to my kernel, but still need to run selinux permissive.

Are you using xiaomi headphones by any chance? If so, they are known not to work with the 6p
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LllysiumPtolemus:
No I use brainwavz deltas. They worked before viper4Android got installed so I think one of the audio.cf modifications messed up the audio jack. Hopefully there's a way to fix it without the flashing system.img again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinta86:
Okay, I have the same problem after copying audio_policy.conf to /system/etc/
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namelesswonder:
My headphones are working just fine over here, can you guys verify that the 3 files (both audio_effects.conf files and audio_policy.conf) have permissions 0644 with root as both owner and group?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinta86:
I don't know if that was it but I reflashed my system and started over from scratch and it worked. I did have to freeze MusicFX for Google Play Music to work.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LllysiumPtolemus:
Yeah they're both set according to the correct permissions. I guess I'll reflash system image again and reinstall and see if it works.
