thats how im running right now, just checked. only with the universal init.d though
[Nexus 5X General] trhacker01:
Ur saying that permissive zip works with the universal init.d?
[Nexus 5X General] noidea24:
As long as the zip creates/places a file in the init.d to change selinux then i guess it should work
[Nexus 5X General] cambunch:
I just flashed the ZIP file attached by [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION], no need to mess with kernels or permissive settings.

Not working in Youtube

Thanks its works fine with Google music. However for youtube its not processing for phone speaker. When I switch to headset and switch back its working again. Any solution?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
That could probably be a failure of Viper. Coz when it's processing it should be working. You've tried to lock the effect mode in Viper settings?
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
Yes thanks I'll add it to my post.
[Nexus 5X General] gaith:
I tried everything possible including messing with the audioconfig and audiopolicy.

In my opinion the original nexus 5 will never be matched in user friendly modding and quality.

thanks anyways :)
[Nexus 5X General] dondavis007:
This worked for me, I'm using flar2 kernel.

1. Download the zip

2. Rename audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak

3. Flash

On clicking driver install yes: error occurs saying I/O error cannot install please reboot. I am on September update.
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
Hmm a Little Bit Old.

That had also happened to me.

Make sure that you are using the latest Viper version along with a supported Kernel (ElementalX) and make sure you Set enforcing to permissive. Another thing you could to is to Go to Settings-Apps-Viper-storagepermission and Check and uncheck the Box.

You can flash ARISE drivers for the best audio experience it comes with V4A pre installed. http://xdaforums.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709

I have Leviticus 1.1 installed. http://www.arisesound.com/news/

P.S I have Nexus 5x rooted stock Nougat rom with september patch and ElementalX kernel v3.05
[Nexus 5X General] :
does it 100% work?
[Nexus 5X General] PotentPotables:
Yes, I am using it. Follow the instructions on the page. If you need any help let me know
[Nexus 5X General] :
i installed leviticus 1.3 and it says installed in v4a but i think its not working. i fiddled with the v4a's equalizer but nothing happens.
[Nexus 5X General] PotentPotables:
If you followed the instructions properly it should have worked. Load a profile and disable Fx and enable it again while playing a song, you will notice the difference.

EDIT:

2nd this... Not sure what's causing it. It's so random.
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
Hmm had that also but in my case it was Viper switching to headphone mode. Also the Permissive kernel mode could effect that but Jo idea how to fix that.
[Nexus 5X General] jbarcus81:
Yeah, I was listening to some tunes with my DNAs and it went silent for a split second... Noticed the effects were no longer being applied. In the past with other phones simply skipping to another song used to fix it, but not with this phone. The kernel mode could easily be causing this I guess but I'm no expert with that. :confused:
[Nexus 5X General] jbarcus81:
This app doesn't work it seems.. how to change enforcement?

I did find this thread for the 6P .. not sure what it would do to the 5X ...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66371718&postcount=7

I flashed the 2 files.. no errors or issues. How do I check the status of SELinux? Can't find a real clear answer anywhere..
[Nexus 5X General] jbarcus81:
Just an FYI .. flashing those 2 files above allowed me to stream music for roughly 2 hours with zero issues. ViPER was enabled the whole time. ViPER loves battery juice though! But we all knew that. Carry on!
[Nexus 5X General] donverse:
What is the best way to remove Viper completely? In the official thread it asks me to hit "uninstall v4a driver" in the app itself, but that doesn't work, it just keeps displaying the screen after I hit "ok". Can I just remove the app with a root file manager?

Nevermind, it just took a long time (>5 min)...
[Nexus 5X General] donverse:
I have experienced issues with Viper4Android breaking BT playback on Android Auto. This was in combination with the ROM and kernel advised in the op.

Can somebody confirm working Android Auto with Nougat / ElementalX & V4A?
[Nexus 5X General] nattesh:
Installed viper and it's workin really good with headphones. But i noticed it has literally killed my microphone volume. It's very very low now. Anything i say over the mic is almost inaudible.

I tried to solve the problem rising the mic gain but the app doesn't apply automatically this particular custom setting after a reboot. Tried with kernel adiutor and trickster mod.

Kernel is obviously elementalx.

However, even with this last "trick", microphone doesn't get the same value of the stock setting (without viper).

I can't believe i'm the only one.
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
You tried ElementalX Kernel App? It has it's own faux Sound Controller which is also applied on Start-up.

Crack of it is included
[Nexus 5X General] nattesh:
Thank you sooo much. I'll give it a try. And if it will solve the issue i'll gladly buy the full app.

I'll let you know.

[Update]

Tried the app. Nothing. Mic gain still goes to 0 anytime i close the EXKM app (and obviously anytime i reboot).

Tried also with the official app (I've bought it). The problem stands still
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
I never tried viper before...followed OP and it´s working

it´s awesome! what a change

note_ It worked in sAosp rom (aosp) and phasma kernel

Doesnt work with spotify thought

btw why wont you simply change

/etc/selinux/config

And set permissive on boot, so not have to manually do it

is there any drawback?

Sorry for late feedback. See the q&a for Spotify implementation
[Nexus 5X General] daver68:
I followed all 5 steps, but V4A doesn't work. It shows as "Abnormal" status all the time.

This is with PureNexus (Nougat) and ElementalX.

I tried this with the provided V4A zip (OP) and with the standard V4A APK, neither worked.

I only need V4A to boost bluetooth audio. Is there any other audio mod that lets you boost BT audio volume?
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
OK I'm gonna give pure Nexus a try. Have you set the enforcement to 0 and activated FX compatible mode? After restart both apps
[Nexus 5X General] daver68:
Yes, I set SELinux enforcement to "Permissive" or 0, and FX Compatibility mode to "Compatible", I restarted after doing each one. Unfortunately V4A still doesn't work.

I suspect it might be something else, since my Status always reads as "Abnormal", which I have never seen before with previous devices.
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
Yeah I'm installing pure Nexus now and try it.
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
As you mentioned before pureNexus obviously seems not to support Viper for somehow. Added to the unsupported Rom list
[Nexus 5X General] daver68:
I appreciate that you're trying it out and looking into these things.

Is there anything else specific I can try and test for you, using PureNexus N?
[Nexus 5X General] Freshtojeff:
If you are still having issues let me know. Running PureNexus 7.0 with ElementalX and I do have V4A currently working.
[Nexus 5X General] daver68:
Sure, what steps did you take to install it? Also, did you install the V4A from the OP in this thread? your signature says you have a 6P, so maybe the PureNexus for the 6P is ever so slightly different...?
[Nexus 5X General] Freshtojeff:
Sent you a PM.
[Nexus 5X General] Drakax:
After many attempts, none of them (ViPERAudio 5.0, viper4android fx 2.5.0.5, a.r.i.s.e one) seems to work!

Every time I get in drivers status "Processing: no" .

Did step by step exactly as described.

I'm on Team OctOs Oct-N ROM with ElementalX 3.06 kernel.
[Nexus 5X General] daver68:
I finally got V4A to work, but I don't know what I did to get it to work.

Freshtojeff PM'd me with a link to a different version of V4A. The info at hte URL says that you don't need to set permissive mode, and that the flashable zip would work regardless of permissive/enforcing.

Flashing just that zip did not work, I was still getting the "Status: Abnormal". So I reverted my ROM by re-flashing PureNexus. The second time I flashed it, I set permissive mode first (created init.d directory, and the 08setperm file), then flashed the zip in recovery. This time I got "Status: Normal" but V4A wasn't actually processing anything (kept saying "Processing: No" and "Unsupported"). So as a hail mary I just reflashed the V4A zip without doing anything else, and finally it worked. I don't know why or which part of reflashing V4A fixed it, but I'm glad it's working. Below are the exact steps I took:

1. Reflash Pure Nexus to "reset" V4A installation

2. Download V4A 2.5.0.5

3. Reboot into recovery and flash V4A 2.5.0.5

4. Reboot into Android, rename /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf -> /ventor/etc/audio_effects.conf.bak

5. Test V4A, failed, showing 'Status: Abnormal'

6. Re-flash (i.e. dirty flash) Pure Nexus 7

7. create init.d (/vendor/etc/init.d) and then create 08setperm file (instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68400458&postcount=8)

8. Reboot into recovery, flash V4A v2.5.0.5

9. Reboot into system, then rename /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf -> /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf/bak

10. Test V4A, failed, Status: Normal, but Processing: No and Unsupported

11. Reboot into recovery, reflash V4A because "WTF WHY WON'T YOU WORK"

12. Reboot into system, V4A works
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
Thanks I'll add it.:good:
[Nexus 5X General] NoLips:
I had the same as you problem but solved through a different route and flashed SuperSu 2.68 version and used SELinuxModeChanger-v3.2.apk to change the SELinux mode...

Only downside - I have to keep the mode in permissive and have to freeze the SuperSU 2.68 app. All versions above 2.68 will not accept permissive mode anymore and the SELinuxModeChanger app will not work anymore.

V4A 2.5.0.5 will not work in Enforced mode, well at least voor me..... So that brings me to two questions who maybe someone can answer:

Anybody running V4A 2.5.0.5 or a different version in Enforced mode?

Which SuperSU is everybody using?

I'm running Nexus 6, Pure Nexus [ROM][N6][7.0.0_r14] , Franco Kernel, rooted, PureNexus Gapps and SuperSu 2.68
[Nexus 5X General] daver68:
I flashed SuperSU 2.78 (latest stable). For some reason SELinuxModeChanger just didn't work for me. I had tried it before going the manual route by creating the file in the /vendor/etc/init.d directory. It just wouldn't work in Enforced mode.

I am running V4A 2.5.0.5 on Pure Nexus 7 on Nexus 5x, ElementalX kernel, PN Gapps, SuperSU 2.78.
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
Hmm im using supersu 2.78 too but with V4A 2.4 and it works perfectly...

BTW Viper4Android is working on Android 7.1 too. Ive tried with the latest beta version
[Nexus 5X General] edoardotavecchio:
What about battery consumption? I've already installed v4a on my previous devices and it had different behaviours about battery consumption. Sometimes it was a battery killer, sometimes it seemed that it wasn't even installed. What about this device?
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
V4A will cause about +5% of battery drain per hour in standby on our Nexus 5X
[Nexus 5X General] Thargorsson:
Only when it's processing and u using surround sound reverb spectrum extension and so on...
[Nexus 5X General] psychomaniac189:

[Nexus 5X General] Fille84:

No but seriously I think youre wrong about that my friend [emoji3]

[Nexus 5X General] ysaliens:
IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I figured out what was causing the bootloop on the latest CM nightlies. There were no changes to the file. Instead, permissions were the problem.

After replacing the audio policy file in /system/etc/, make SURE to manually set the permissions to rw r r (that is rw owner and everything else read only. Remove executable from all).

After doing that, it does not bootloop and boots right away. Viper is working in normal (non-compatible mode) with all apps including Spotify.

[Nexus 5X General] razrlover:
You need to use permissive kernel. Use flash kernel or another. Then change to permissive in a kernel app, or terminal emulator.

Then reboot, then viper works, unless you need headphones. Headphones requires replacing the audio.config.xml or something similar in system/etc. Then rebooting. If that's your issue i fitness the solution in another viper thread

Does this also apply for Bluetooth-Headphones?

Everyone who uses nougat with cm do not flash super su because it will crash your rom and it won't be bootable again because cm13 uses something like personal asistant as a thingy that allows root acess and if you have both the system simply won't work. Though I found this to be working https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/lg-g3-d855-cm13-supersu-t3272627/page2 for installing the supersu and i finally figured out the viper4arise just flash this zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767122886 onto the 2.5.0.5 version and it will automaticlly install all the drivers for you and all you have to do if you haven't yet is set the selinux mode to permissive and enjoy the sound.
