So I'm now rocking Viper4Android successfully. Sound improvement is amazing. Attaching links to the needed files. First install selinux and set to permissive. Then install viper. Enjoy.

If the opposite of pro is con, and progress means to move forward.... What the hell does congress mean?

If I may ask, how did you get this to sucessfully run? I got it to run once and then it stops processing. Browsing through the official forum I tried a few different things like making it a system app, unchecking mount namespace in Supersu, checking/unchecking nuplayer to no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I have both GravityBox and NotifyClean installed but only use NotifyClean to block ongoing notifications. I've left then both disabled for a while and still don't get notifications. When I open gmail it syncs and I see I've gotten emails. I think it's something to do with it not syncing but I can't figure out why it wouldn't be.

I was hoping it happened to someone else and they found a fix for it.

I was searching and found a possible fix to put win 10 on fierce xl. From the windows website.

You can download the Windows Device Recovery Tool on your PC and use it to fix software problems on your phone. It'll install the latest version of Windows approved for your phone and remove everything else, including your apps, games, texts, call history, music, and photos. Before you use this tool, see if?*restarting?*or?*resetting?*your phone fixes the problem.

It works on Lumia, LG, HTC One, and HTC 8X phones running Windows Phone 8 or later versions as well as the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL, MCJ Madosma, BLU WIN HD and BLU WIN HD LTE devices. For non-Lumia Nokia phones, use the?*Nokia Software Recovery Tool?*instead.

Just maybe the tool will work for our phones. Not sure as I have not tried yet.
