Did not completely work for me. At first when i did the procedure everything was ok,driver installed neon,ok. But when i played native audio or pandora no difference. Also when i plugged in my Fiio K1 DAC it change to not supported abnormal. Tried clean installing into system 3x, edidtin,deleting, the file in vendor. No luck, maybe we just have to wait a bit longer, rom used is Purenexus. Also when i did it,i already had the drive installed.....

UPDATE:

So i did get it working, but i used the Viper 6.01 that guitar user posted in the nexus 5x forum.

Works with only Headphone jack,

NOT with usb out. When using USB out it just dosent work.

Also for some reason my pandora now keeps crashing :(

BUT IT WORKS, so i think ill keep it. Ill leave the DAC/AMP at home for my laptop, and use the viper limiter at maximum and just up the bass a bit.

All i wanted was to get the bass higher with out maximizing the volume.
[Nexus 6P General] banccalif:
Id suggest using arise, it's way better than stock Viper
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
If I may make a suggestion that will ultimately save you a lot of grief, move to the updated ARISE sound mod by guitardedhero and others. The latest is deuteronomy 2.x and, as opposed to the tweaks, futzing and issues of sound being processed/sticking or not, this is a much simpler install and just works.

Head over to http://xdaforums.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709 and just install the base version. You'll get Viper4ARISE. I still flash a permissive kernel zip with my Nougat ROMs, but since I switched to ARISE, V4A has worked flawlessly, and it sounds even better than the old V4A from this thread.

It also removes MusicFX with the install process and I haven't had to disable/remove the audio_effects.conf file either.

Lastly, I'm not sure development is continuing on the base V4A anyway. ARISE is the way to modify your Android sound processing now.

Sorry, only noticed your post after I posted my longer response saying the same thing ;)
[Nexus 6P General] angle409:
Just flashed Deuteronomy 2.1 (non classic) on my nexus 6P. After enabling V4Arise and enabling speaker optimization, the phone speaker sound is actually worse than stock, more muted across range. I haven't tried headphones yet. kinda disappointed. My advice: V4A is overhyped. just keep stock sound.
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
Sorry, but you clearly haven't tested anything at all yet. Speaker optimization isn't that great and yes it mutes it, but that's to avoid the pop and tinny issues with many phone speakers. However, if you use that, then play with the EQ and other settings, you may surprise yourself. That would require more than a 5 second evaluation though.

Have you tried the EQ presets or customized them? What about dynamic sound or the various compressions? How about any number of things most people would play around with before writing something off? These types of tweaks are, after all, the point of a sound mod with a detailed EQ.

Since you admit you haven't even tried headphones, let alone bluetooth and haven't played with the EQ at all, it may just be a wee bit early to pronounce it a failure. And ... the VAST majority of people who use it would disagree.
[Nexus 6P General] siren_shadows:
What's the point of installing it if you have to do all the work yourself in that department? I'm not an audio engineer, I don't know what is best for my phone.
[Nexus 6P General] angle409:
Exactly. If regular people have to spend hours or days to tweak the settings what's the good? I wish it's the install and forget type of app.
[Nexus 6P General] siren_shadows:
Worst part is I've had hearing problems since I was an infant, so like, i can't really test settings and **** since I can't really tell the difference incrementally.
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
Hours or days? It takes me a few minutes of playing on a fresh install until I hit what I like. Plus, you can save your settings as a profile. However, it's clear from your responses that you can't be bothered to actually test it. If you have a home stereo, you play around with EQ until you like it. If you listen to music in your car, you set treble and bass, balance and other things. This is no different. How on earth a sound app that, at its heart is an EQ, could be set and forget BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT is beyond me. That's not even the purpose of it. If that's what you want, then you're not looking for a sound mod. The entire point of a sound mod / EQ is to allow people to adjust the sound to their preference for their hardware and listening preferences/context.
[Nexus 6P General] dht2005:
ultyrunner is absolutely correct here. The criticisms you have leveled against this project would be considered rude (and a bit ignorant) even if you actually had a solid point to make, or some evidence to back it up. As it stands, you don't have either, and asking a question like "What's the point of installing it if you have to do all the work yourself in that department? I'm not an audio engineer..." is just unthinkable. People specifically poured blood, sweat, and tears into this thing for that exact reason... so that people who aren't engineers can improve their experience via the developer's knowledge. Either you were just being flippant about "having to do all the work yourself" and you don't actually mean that - in which case it would have been preferable for you to just say "thank you but I am having a few problems," et cetera, and be on your way...OR you do actually think you're doing all the work, which is a smack in the face to a developer... a developer whose work you very obviously do not grasp the complexity of, nor the amount of time and effort required to produce said work. Don't bash people's work if you haven't yet evaluated it properly, and most especially make an effort to understand it at a high level before you complain (if you really need to complain at all, which you don't).

I'm sorry, but if I was the developer, seeing a comment/comments like these would be enough for me to close down the project ASAP. And I'm not just pulling that out of my ass, I've been through five or six phones and development communities here on XDA, and I have seen exactly that happen on more than one occasion.
[Nexus 6P General] siren_shadows:
And that's the problem with XDA. People take things to personally. This isn't a forum for babies. We're allowed to express our opinions and concerns here, believe he or not.
[Nexus 6P General] Creamy Goodness:
I installed numbers 3.5 on the android 7.1.1 dev preview on my nexus 6p, but can't install the driver. No prompt from supersu, just viper claims it's not rooted and the supersu log shows nothing. I then realized there's a newer ARISE+Sound+Systems+Deuteronomy+2.1 version so flashed that on top, but it doesn't work either. Just wondering if reflashing the rom (*sigh*) would help or if it's not compatible at this time?
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
Again, you'd be better to ask in the ARISE forum as you will get more responses. SU doesn't prompt you as it is installed as a system mod, not an app. V4A app doesn't need root. I suspect if you search that forum you will also get info on installing a newer version.
[Nexus 6P General] CharliexCharger:
Did you flash the modified version made by guitar hero?

I had to change to compatible mode but all is working.
[Nexus 6P General] sharky481232:
Using root explorer goto /vendor/etc and rename audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak reboot and try to install drivers

I've also made a guide that decrypts boot.img and boots as permissive , also runs a script every boot to check for audio_effects.conf and renames if it's there at boot.

You have modified the "audio.effect.conf" file in vendor/etc... And reboot the Phone?
[Nexus 6P General] Arcide:
This doesn't work on ringtones, and it doesn't activate for music automatically after restart.

I'm on Nitrogen OS (7.1), stock kernel (permissive mode).
[Nexus 6P General] nags92:
I found this being an issue, if stop listening to music and then say 4 hours later i replug my headphones in i have to open v4a via the equalizer in google play music, click the settings button and click exit from v4a then re-open equalizer for v4a to start working even though it says processing, odd.
[Nexus 6P General] Arcide:
The normal mode doesn't even work for me, I'm using compatible mode in V4A.

[Nexus 6P General] Arcide:
Is anyone able to use this mod system wide?

It doesn't work on ringtones, youtube etc.

Also, it works in poweramp for me only when I set Viper in compatibility mode.

Another thing, after rebooting the phone, it's required to turn off and on the modules (equalizer and convolver) or it doesn't work.

I'm on Pure Nexus 7.1.1 (Nexus 6P).

Anyone else having these issues?

[Nexus 6P General] Hadookie:
Had the same issue yesterday and had to settle for an older version of V4A. I'm rooted with MagiskSU so that may be where the issue lies. I also had to wipe my system and data partitions before being able to install the older version I'm currently on. The error would persist if I didn't.

Hi,

I have the error: Enabled: no, processing: no in any mode, compatible or normal

Im on an LG V20, rooted (magiskSU and stericson busybox) and I followed a lot of advice: tried viper4arise, viper4android, 2.5.04 and 2.5.0.5, both from apk and zip, Selinux switched, moved v4a to a system app, movinf the audio_effects.conf still nothing.

Any help is highly welcome
[Nexus 6P General] urphonesux:
I have this even when nothing is playing but I can't notice any difference in my audio.

Btw I flashed this: ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero and then I flashed WETA_SystemWideAudio to get processing to say yes

I'm on nougat running the latest pure Nexus
[Nexus 6P General] sutty86:

[Nexus 6P General] sutty86:

[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Some of the mods are known to not work well with 6p. Try dirty flashing ROM, kernel and SuperSU. Then in Arise aroma installer just select core, profile, toolbox, v4a 2.3.4 or 2.5, ICEsound (config 2, preset you want), deep buffer remover and permissions fix.

You can try an app like Tasker to change Bluetooth volume when you're playing music. I guess you could change the gain in viper settings

When using viper4android does it matter what phone you are using?

Eg would a budget handset sound same as HTC 10 with viper4android installed on both.

I m going to buy a new phone and was wondering if the internal DAC would make a difference if u are gonna use viper4android.

If not I would go for a budget phone and install viper.

I did compare my moto g2 +viper4android vs HTC 10 and was quite disappointment how the HTC 10 sounded with the audio enhancement.

HTC 10 was good but it lacked the sub bass and great treble offered by viper
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
If you want great audio quality I'd recommend ARISE with v4a 2.3.4 and ICEsound. The phone does make a difference. I have ARISE on my 6p, N6 and 5x. They all sound a bit different. Had to mess with profiles, convolved, DDC and volume gain to get ideal audio on each phone.
[Nexus 6P General] cool_nin:
So do you mean that the best hardware will sound the best with the audio mods or the worst can also be tuned to sound like the best?
[Nexus 6P General] ragoodroid:
imo it all depends on what your listening to and with what. i made a headset profile for listening to spotify im my honda civic with stock receiver but have to switch it to something completely different for when im listening with my shure in ear phones at home. thats the fun part! tweaking everything to get the best out of my hardware. it gets personal ;)
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
You can make audio sound really good on phone with lower quality hardware depending on what you tweak in v4a and the listening device you use. On all my phones that I regularly use I have different settings for Jaybird X2, Fiio EX1, Audio Technica M50x and Bluetooth speaker.
[Nexus 6P General] cool_nin:
Yes that's what I feel too. Coz I am very happy how my moto g2 + v4a sound with my sennheiser urbanite...

But I am curious if there is anything better..

Does Arise work without majisk?

I checked the arise thread and flashed the zip for arise installer but got zip verification error...
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Arise does work with magisk. You have to flash the magisk compatibility module after flashing Arise.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

Not having that issue with Jaybird X2. More than enough volume. You can try enabling convolver and using one of the louder IRS like XD26VV1B3.
[Nexus 6P General] cool_nin:
I just saw from some youtube videos that Arise just add some pre defined profiles which i can create myself too....

Doesn't arise improve sound quality too?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Arise includes a bunch of audio mods. It improves audio quality even if you don't use v4a. You can look in the Arise thread OP for details.
[Nexus 6P General] reeeju:
Will it worked on moto g3 running RR ROM 7.1?
[Nexus 6P General] cool_nin:
I installed arise and viper4arise and did not find v4a to be any different from viper4arise...In sound quality

Only difference being that a lot of convolver options were pre defined...
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Those apps are pretty much the same. On every device I've used Arise on there's a clear boost in audio quality before even tweaking v4a settings.

Hi guys,

I have had some instability with Viper4Android (guitardedhero version) on LG Nexus 5x (7.1.2) where it "comes and goes" as in turns on / off by itself while playing tracks etc. Not too often but often enough to not be fully functional for me. Installed a patch that seemed to help a little; but "hopefully" solved it finally by installing ARISE+Deuteronomy+2.4+Add-ons+AROMA+Installer.zip instead (by TWRP). Seems very stable now and EQ runs fine / Dolby etc too on my Nougat 7.1.2. Just thought this might help someone that gets problems with Viper4Android on Nougat. I had also BusyBox installed before flashing ARISE by TWRP.

Thank you to all in the Android scene for making my universal EQ dream come true. Deep respect for all hours put into Android fixes around the world. Really means a lot for someone that is hearing impaired! I find it VERY odd that iOS and different Android mobiles haven´t fully nailed this down. Closest to a complete phone for me was the cool but hardware aging Marshall London; but they too had problems EQ´ing all of my apps (Audiobooks, Deezer, Pandora etc). Sony also seems to be better at universal EQ software built in; but Google and you will see the same that none of the phones truly works out of the box "for all audio apps"; so again: means the world to me that Viper etc are around with a helpful forum like XDA.
