-Viper4Android-

Open up the app and it welcomes you with a list of options. On the left top corner we have the hamburger menu, which allows you to check the state of the processor and much more! Opening the app for the first time, It asks for root privileges and BusyBox installation. Then it installs the driver after which you'll have to Re-Boot your device. After Re-Booting, you can alter the output of you audio. The UI Is clean and and neat, there are no crashes at all! And whats more... It Supports Android N!

Oh! And the Viper Bass Is excellent!

​

-The Neat UI, Which helps you alter the audio output

The are 3 ways of viewing the APP.

1. Beginner

-Only some of the options are shown, which is easy to learn and use

2.Intermediate

-Some more options are shown

3.Advanced

-All of the options are shown, this recommended for the masters of audio tuning.

​

-This shows if viper4android is working like it should be

​

-The Hamburger menu expanded

​

-The excellent viper bass!

Well nothing is perfect, So is this APP. There are some problems that do crop up during usage...

-On some samsung devices, the driver fails to process the audio on the stock player.

-The driver wont process if your SELinux state is enforcing, Use SELinux Mode Changer to fix this problem.

-You have to use either V4A or AudioFX.

OVERALL - 4.6/5.0:angel:

----------

-AudioFX-

This app is built-into the CyanogenMod ROMS. It is exclusive to CyanogenMod. This app isnt as feature rich as Viper4Android but it definitely does beat many of the other apps in modifying the audio output. You can't make the Speaker Gain its output nor Change the spectrum to improve the audio quality of certain files, What it does is... Offer you a eq to modify the output... You can also choose from one of the given Reverb Options. The UI is so good that Lighning-McQueen himself will fall in love with it! It is so easy to use and very functional. The hamburger lets you choose from tuning the speaker, headset etc. The App is really useful for beginners.

There is also an option for bass boosting and Virtual Surround.

OVERALL - 4.5/5.0

~I did not encouter and kind of bugs with AudioFX, except when the driver of V4A Conflicts with it.

​

-The UI That Lightning will love

-------------------

~VERDICT~​

Now that there is an app for everyone, I would go with Viper4Android cause it allows for more precise and raw tuning. AudioFX Is also a very good app but it doesn't allow for precise tuning like Viper4android. But, Get this- V4A Is Superb For Headsets and Bluetooth speakers whereas AudioFX Is Superb for phone's speakers! Whatever it is, it is a matter of personal taste.
