Google Play Protect mark V4A as harmful app. Now V4A can't be found. Reinstall, disable GPP still nothing. Any help?

EDIT: Nevermind, solve it already. ??
[Magisk] Lownita:
Same for me
[Magisk] flame360:
Likewise
[Magisk] Kingfisher25:
Why don't you say how you solved it? That could help others that don't know, just saying solved it helps no one...
[Magisk] Snoe II:
Yeah because it's too hard to figure it out yourself.

Just keep the app, don't uninstall or disable it.

My v4a got uninstall/missing because of substratum theme. Instead of showing "disable the app" button during popup, it show an empty button with "keep the app" text beside it. I thought that was the text, not the button. That's why my v4a keep missing since I keep clicking on the uninstall/disable button. ??

Got it?
[Magisk] Lownita:
Anyone got a link to 1.7.5? I would like to try and see if it also gets flagged by play protect.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Are you using the 2.5.0.5 materialized app? I believe that's been flagged by Play Protect since the dark ages...
[Magisk] Lownita:
Yes, I am!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
So in other words: it's a known thing and nothing new.
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Quick PSA everybody. Looks like Google updated the play store and the play protect component of it so it now once again flags material v4a as a harmful app. It means nothing and you can either ignore it, switch to a different apk like new material, or disable play protect (only morons need it anyways)
[Magisk] Ilgazc:
Why would this happen while even Google owned virustotal marks the file safe? Ignore the single no name crap of course.

[MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION]

V4A 1.8.1 doesn't appear to be available in Magisk Manager yet, so I downloaded it from your site and tried to side load it using twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img onto my Google Pixel 3. Didn't work, install error right away. Recovery log is attached. Do you need any other logs or me to try a different method for your info?
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Not sure why you're getting that error cause I didn't change anything with the core installer so my guess would be that it's related to your twrp. I didn't realize that I forgot to update the repo though so I just updated it now. Try installing through magisk manager
[Magisk] SilvrDrgn:
OK, just installed through Magisk Manager. Worked perfectly. Thank you very much!!

[Magisk] DvLAx3l:
Latest update works good on Pixel 3 XL, but now on my OP5 doesn't work anymore :confused:

Edit: start working only if I use the selinux option in the settings
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
That could hint to the problem. Run through the selinux part of the troubleshooting guide in the OP and let me know what happens. Could be a new sepolicy needed or something else entirely.

Nothing changed for the op5 in the last several releases
[Magisk] justjr:
Well, I've always used materialized ViperFX, and only today it started to being flagged by Google Play Protect on two devices. Never had it before. I ain't even updated it after 1.8 (some time ago) and only today that happened. So, something must have been changed on google side.
[Magisk] Electrolite_XYZ:
*ignore*
[Magisk] MZGSZM:
Same here. It only recently started getting flagged. I may just turn off Play Protect honestly.
[Magisk] Fif_:
Well I had play protect turned off on 4 devices with ViperFX materialized installed. Play Protect nevertheless flagged it as malware in all 4 within the last 48 hours. It never happened before.

I'm being tired of Google's "we own your device" philosophy. Among other disturbing things, I've caught them changing apks installed from Play Store. They seem to substitute apks with others with the same version numbers. I have auto updates disabled. I've been recently sha1suming the apks in /data/app, and the sha1sums change. Even play store shows these apps as updated in "My apps".

Still, that is a disturbing trend. I could deal with forced Play Services and Play Store updates, but randomly changing and scanning apps when I explicitly forbade so is supremely bad behavior.
[Magisk] MZGSZM:
The actual APK has been modified and not the app's data? If so, that is very bad.
[Magisk] Fif_:
Well, the APK file changes, but its contents seem to remain the same.

Case in point, last night the "Barcode Scanner" app got the stealthy update treatment I am talking about.

The apk was located at /data/app/com.google.zxing.client.android-1/base.apk, and the sha1sum was

578530d6aceb1982404cb5080cc981fd8db1d04f

This morning, the apk is now at /data/app/com.google.zxing.client.android-2/base.apk and the sha1sum is:

88b735f034d92239838e95d874e9e01e0be360fe

.

The file sizes are the same (but there's been instances where it has changed by a few bytes).

If you expand the apk (unzip it), the contents are the same.

While it seems innoccuous, since the payload hasn't changed, I really don't like code packages to be changed like that.

Sorry for being off-topic, is there a better thread to discuss these issues?
[Magisk] MZGSZM:
That is very strange. Let me know if you find a thread for this if you don't mind. I'll be on the lookout as well.
[Magisk] Electrolite_XYZ:
I'm not sure if my issue is the same as people here with Viper 1.8.

I'm using the LG V20 7.0 with custom DOTS kernel (fix camera issues), I'm using Viper 1.81

My Viper effects seems to be working fine but the effects keep starting and stopping, it happens when I change a song in Spotify: so song 1 will have effects, song 2 doesn't, song 3 has effects etc also it happens when I click in the progress bar, the effect stops and if I click the bar again then the effect goes back on.

I have the same issue using JamesDSP which makes me think it's another issue not related to Viper but I don't know where I can get help.

I have Audio Modification Library and Audio Compatibility Patch (tried both logics in ACP) and used to have Ainur Sauron (removed)

The only workaround I found is to use FX compatible mode (but there's a stutter at the start of every song I play)

Anyone has any idea what might be causing this issue with both JamesDPS and Viper?
[Magisk] manpildo:
Do you by any chance have any other equalizer/soundfx enabled? I used to have similar problems with Spotify, only to discover that I'd enabled its in-built equalizer which conflicted with Viper.
[Magisk] Electrolite_XYZ:
Unfortunaly no, LG V20 doesn't have a built in equalizer, when I ask for Spotify to open the equalizer it actually goes to Viper.

Only if the equalizer of my offline songs is somehow messing things while it's not even open?

I installed and uninstalled a lot of mods, maybe I have some trash or leftover from Ainur Sauron / JAMESDSP? If they needed additional steps to uninstall maybe that's it

Or maybe AML or ACP are causing that somehow.

Viper even acknowledge the problem, processing in driver status shows as no and then yes when there are are or not effects. Did DDC ever cause this? That's all I'm using alongside bass booster in Viper

Edit: I kinda made the stuttering problem when using Viper in compatible mode by using crossfade and gapeless playback, looks like Spotify considers all the different songs as the same so there is no stutter from Viper applying effects at the start of every song. It only happens now when I click the progress bar to change the song timestamp (somehow this requires Viper to apply effects again)
[Magisk] gipsy.danger:
Same here, it shows the warning every now and then. It suddenly started from yesterday for me.
[Magisk] DvLAx3l:
I'll check today, and I'll let you know, anyway yesterday on a op6 of one of my friend it gives the same issue.
[Magisk] Lartsch:
Xhifi works after a fresh flash for me but after a while, its driver status turns to abnormal and the driver prompt appears. Reboot not helping. Reflashing AML and xhifi fixes it again.
[Magisk] KUSOsan:
Just wanted to chime in that I'm using a V30 on stock lg firmware 8.0 and on v4a 1.8.1 magisk module (2505 driver and installed as system app with battery optimization turned off) and I have the issue where if a phone call is activated while on Bluetooth then viper stopped working till I exit the app using the exit option inside viper and then re-open viper. Only affects it on Bluetooth everything else seems to work fine. Thanks for your work ?
[Magisk] Lownita:
No processing on latest version 1.8.1, non material apk, oos 9.0.2, op6
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Can you run through the troubleshooting guide in the OP?
[Magisk] Davidel11:
Link not work
[Magisk] FullWipe:
You can install Viper directly from Magisk Manager.
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Looks like my server provider is undergoing maintenance. Not sure how much longer it'll be down (shouldn't be more than a day). You can grab it from magisk manager or just download the source and zip it yourself
[Magisk] Davidel11:
Thank you so much!

Repeated Install Driver Message

Hi, I have tried to install the latest flashable zip of Viper4Android on my Galaxy J2 Prime (G532G) but I keep getting the same "Driver needs to be reinstalled" message when opening the app. I tried doing it multiple times but still didnt work. I have installed it in the following manner:

Material

2.5.0.5(driver)

System(app)

Any solutions to this one? I even tried clearing dalvik cache after flashing zip but nothing happened
[Magisk] gloeyisk:
Is it the flashable zip a Magisk module? If not, have you tried V4A in Magisk ways?
[Magisk] techfreak9356:
I dont have magisk interface but I habe systemless SU. I did make it work back 3 months ago but I already forgot how to do it again this time.
[Magisk] fjod:
Installed latest magisk via twrp, then magisk manager, then installed viper4android from manager. It was installed, I see that after reboot in magisk manager (installed apps) and in installed apps in android system. But I dont have an icon to lauch it. How to launch v4a if there is no icon? Also I dont have icon for magisk manager.

le max 2 with aex, android 9
[Magisk] gloeyisk:
Systemless SU? Have you try to flash Init.d Injector?
[Magisk] johnholley123:
Has the method of adding the desired version to the end of the filename been discontinued in the latest version? I can't get it to recognize that I added the version I want to the end when I flash in twrp and my volume buttons don't work so I can't select the version that way.
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Nope, it's all still there. Note that in addition to what version of v4a you want installed, you also need to specify whether you want it installed as a user or system app (OP was updated with that stuff)
[Magisk] johnholley123:
Ok thanks, didn't realize I had to specify that too.

EDIT: It worked perfectly
[Magisk] Jaydev Patel:
All went right. But in driver status PROCESSING : NO. Please guide me
[Magisk] Phrodini:
Usually have to play something for it to process
[Magisk] cd993:
Hey, any chance making a black apk update that can work with the latest v1.8.1 magisk module?

In much older versions I used to be able to replace an apk from within the zip folder (with a black themed viper apk they I got from somewhere) but these days there doesn't seem to be one inside that allows me to do that.

I tried the substratum theme from xda labs but it never applies even after reboot etc

Would love it if the magisk module had a black theme option during the installation :)
[Magisk] Arokia:
This is the exact same problem i had too. Did u find a fix
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Select material apk, then use linear substratum theme. Valerie substratum theme can also theme it too but it won't be as dark (but can be transparent if you choose)

Have you tried audio compatibility patch?
[Magisk] Arokia:
Yes i did but the problem was there event after that. Is it working for u after flashing the patch?
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Ya but I have a different device. Each one is different with this stuff unfortunately
[Magisk] Arokia:
Oh tats sad.
[Magisk] cd993:
Anyone got Viper working nicely with the Sony WH-1000XM2 wireless Bluetooth headphones? (or anyone else who could offer an insight?)

Audi is fine over wired headphones but initial testing shows no audio processing via Bluetooth, could this be due to the AptX HD Bluetooth codec interfering?

Update: I see from research its regarding the LDAC codec hmmm....

https://github.com/therealahrion/ViPER4Android-FX/issues/9
[Magisk] tbqstp:
V4A can't process beyond 48KHZ I think
[Magisk] nanodan:
I'm not sure the phone you have, but on most devices these days there's an option in dev options to set the output sample rate when using Bluetooth. Connect to your LDAC speakers, and set the sampling rate to 48k, then start playing music. Should process just fine and you still get the superior LDAC codec.
[Magisk] cd993:
Thanks for getting back to me.

FYI Google pixel 2 xl (Havoc ROM, 9.0/Pie rom)

See attached screenshot, I've set it up that way but seems to not have made a difference. Any suggestions?

EDIT: hang on ignore me, it defaulted back to 96. Changed to 48 but still not processing, will reboot
[Magisk] cd993:
Hmm so after resetting the settings and just using the 48k output, I play music, then open Viper and it pauses the audio for a moment, it then comes back on but upon checking it isn't being processed
[Magisk] techfreak9356:
I tried already
[Magisk] cd993:
Wait, its working!

Not sure how, but it's all working now!! :)

Thanks so much for the assistance :)
[Magisk] nanodan:
It's a pita due to having to change it to 48k everytime you want to listen to music with that device. Frankly with Viper I don't notice any significant difference between SBC and LDAC @ 48k, so for my LDAC capable devices, I just disable "Use LDAC" option in Bluetooth settings. Chances are your music isn't 32 bit anyway.
[Magisk] cd993:
Agreed, its a bit a faff.

With the Sony Headphones app, when LDAC is activated (or set to focus on audio quality) it even doesn't let you use its own built in equaliser.

Either way, quite happy with the sound :)
[Magisk] KUSOsan:
Nope. Sorry. Funny because it was the exact opposite of my V20. I had to game a phone call just to activate viper with the v20.

It's very random it seems.I'll make a phone call and it won't work and then sometimes it seems it still works even after a phone call.
[Magisk] Arokia:
Yes it even will happen with headphones too. Not just with bluetooth. I dono y it is tat way but atleast found 1 person with the same problem as mine. ?
[Magisk] KUSOsan:
Mine has only done it with Bluetooth. Haven't had any issues with over headphones
[Magisk] marquelito:
Viper dont install driver in samsung pie. Keeps askong for it after install and reboot

[Magisk] poisonofchoice:
Bootloop :/
[Magisk] serpent android:
Hi will it work on alpha Omega ROM Oreo with mk2000 kernel? And will it support the internal DAC on the LG V20?

Thanks
[Magisk] donjoe0:
Yeah, it will show up as speaker, it's been this way since at least version 2.4.0.4 of ViPER, I guess nobody cared to fix it, since you can just lock effects to headset mode and you will get all possible effects working with your USB device anyway.

Yes. Solved it like this for my Lenovo P2: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78251908&postcount=27609
[Magisk] Chaaam:
Installed the zip file version 1.8.1, it was installed properly but then it broke my alarm and notification sounds. Using this on Pixel Experience 9.0 on Poco F1.

EDIT: I reflashed my ROM and cleared everything for the alarm and notifcation sounds get fixed. Not okay in collaboration with the said device above if you are planning this to install.
[Magisk] my370z:
There are two Magisk modules. VP FX and VP XHIFI. What are the differences? I installed the FX module it has been great...I just wondering what's the XHIFI module offer that the FX Don't?
[Magisk] gipsy.danger:
if i am correct it has lesser options than FX.
[Magisk] KUSOsan:
It's supposed to offer better audio restoration for compressed codecs (like Mp3) than the FX version. It hasn't been updated in forever though and some people have used both together as a combo but to me personally I could never get the HiFi one to sound good to me so I just use FX
[Magisk] my370z:
Thanks. I've been using the FX and it quite good.
[Magisk] marquelito:
In samsung pie?
[Magisk] my370z:

Thanks for the PSA. I just had PS bull$**t Pop up and had already disabled Play Protect (it's usually disabled on all my phones but this was a fresh AOSIP install with all the trimmings). I came here on General principals, used the search function and found your post. Thanks

Hi guys, I'm using latest Viper with magisk on AEX Oreo 5.8 and Bluetooth audio is buggy, if exit app and reopen audio is working but after the song or the video stops, there's no processing audio

Edit: ok solved the Bluetooth problem by disabling Dolby Atmos magisk
[Magisk] bohemist:
My daughter uses my Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo with AEX 5.8 (Oreo). So far, there are no issues whatsoever with Viper4Android whether it be on Headset, Phone Speaker or Bluetooth. I've installed it via Magisk module, too. Perhaps you can try flashing it via TWRP and see it becomes better.

I do on my OnePlus 6 on a Stock ROM with blu_spark kernel. I've installed it via Magisk Modules.
[Magisk] MrPhilo:
Okay anyone know a way to keep the equaliser running? So at boot. I go into app and close it and open it again and its working. But when I remove it in memory like clicking clear all or just swiping it away it stops using the equalizer. Sometimes when I have too much apps open and I just clear all but it's annoying having to go back into viper again etc
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
Install it as system app and that won't happen. If you have greenify or other battery saving app, make sure it's not messing with v4a
[Magisk] MrPhilo:
Yeah it's a System app and I don't use anything like that for the battery side so no idea why unless OOS Pie handles background app abit differently
[Magisk] vibrantliker:
For some reason, when I install more than V4A and V4XHiFi (Dolby, Sauron, AML) I get no audio on my bluetooth headphones.

I currently have a OP6 (on Pie) and this only happens with custom roms, not stock for some reason.

I think this also just started happening on 9.0(Pie)

Any help appreciated.
[Magisk] Zackptg5:
There's an advanced battery setting in oos that if you have on aggressive settings, can mess with background apps like v4a. Otherwise, I don't know what would be causing it to close

Try with just the vipers and AML. If still having problems, take a logcat and look for any sepolicy denials relevant to them (instructions in the OP troubleshooting section)
[Magisk] MrPhilo:
Yeah I don't have it on, I've always turned them off. So no idea why.

can you fix something there?
[Magisk] gloeyisk:
Is the issue still persist if you disabled V4A? Or even another sounds mod installed except that V4A one?
[Magisk] Sony92:

Hello folks,

yesterday I updated to the newest version of Viper4Android FX which is 1.8.2 and after the reboot everything is fine, expect that the status "processing is NO". I tried different settings but the result is not changing. Than I installed the older version of Viper4Android FX which were 1.8.1 and it is working fine till now. Did some people also had this problem with the newest version, or I'm the only one?
