You have V4A working on this ROM?

I don't think anyone has managed to get any variant of Viper4Android or Viper4Arise working on the S8 on Oreo. If you've got it working, you're the first that I know of anywhere on XDA.

Getting the V4A app to install using the Magisk module is easy, but does it actually WORK? When you open the app and choose Driver status, does it show these while music is playing?

"Status: Normal"

"Processing: Yes"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] uwireless:
after following the instructions and flashing the ROM through TWPR (I already had a custom ROM) it was all working great, then I flashed SuperSU 2.82 SR5 and now my wifi is not working - it cannot connect to any wifi network. I get a message "Failed to save network.", "Failed to connect to a network."

I can see it's a common error with SuperSU, but there's no fix I can find. I dirty flashed the ROM again, tried uninstalling the SuperSU, resetting the Network settings, toggling Airplane mode... Nothing works.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Uninstallation of SuperSU using this method - https://www.theandroidsoul.com/unroot-supersu-uninstallation-failed/ and wiping Dalvik/Cache finally worked. My Wifi works again. : )

By the way, I'm FAR from the first. Everybody on the LightRom Oreo thread installed v4a successfully before me. [emoji17]

[MENTION=4860093]SoLdieR9312[/MENTION] Same issue here when absolutely clean flashing. SM-G955F, no errors during installation, but upon first boot, the Galaxy S8+ logo is displayed only, and no progress further is made, waited for 15 minutes and it didn't boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] reaper000:
You MUST flash some sort of root (either SuperSU or Magidisk) immediately after flashing the ROM, before rebooting from TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ghul21:
Just flash supersu
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kikiri:
yes i understood thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sirobelec:
...holy s**t... that actually did the trick. o.O

Okay, in such case, a suggestion: to OP, to avoid any more idjuts like myself crying here in the thread "muh phone no booty", please emphasize heavily on the step about flashing a root package that the ROM won't boot at all without root.

It will save users a lot of trouble, but more importantly, for OP it will save a lot of PMs and comments here. :D

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
You did not flash supersu after ROM. Its clearly mentioned at the end of the installer ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
Please check install instructions in first post before posting :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] reaper000:
Well, I'm no master but I'll tell you what I did that finally worked for me for a working v4a.

***Being a total idiot, I just realized I misread your question. For Magidisk, just download the latest version (15.3) and flash it (instead of SuperSU) right after a clean ROM flash.***

But since I took the trouble to write this longass post, I'll apologize to the dev for the OT and describe what made v4a work for me:

1. Download the ROM, download Magidisk 15.3, and download this file (files_for_v4a.zip) from here:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw27riv1mXaRSaa2jZ5NH07m

2. Unzip files_for_v4a.zip and make note where it extracted. You'll need one of its contents, audio_effects.conf, later.

3. Boot into TWRP recovery

4. Clean flash your ROM, immediately flash Magidisk right away , and then reboot.

5. After you do a typical setup of a new ROM, I would go back to twrp recovery and do a nandroid backup so you can recover a clean backup. Reboot and...

Run Magidisk Manager.

6. In Magidisk Manager, ensure that you have Safetynet Check success. (if you don't, you MIGHT need to flash the Universal Safety Net Fix v2 in TWRP. I got that file from the LightRom thread)

7. In Magidisk Manager, select Downloads from the menu and install Viper4Android FX Materialized v2.8 (by ahrion et al)

8. Reboot your device

9. After reboot, run v4a and enable it. Play something from your favorite music app and as it's playing, go back to v4a and ensure driver status is normal and processing is yes. If that's the case, you're done.

If you have driver status abnormal, you can try this (per [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION], [MENTION=278202]the_scotsman[/MENTION]):

Uncomment this line from /magisk/v4a/post-fs-data.sh:

#pixel2set_sepolicy hal_audio_default hal_audio_default process execmem

Just delete the "#pixel2" part.

Save the change and reboot.

If you have normal driver status but processing no (like me), there's one more step.

10. Using a file explorer with root capability, copy the file "audio_effects.conf" that you unzipped earlier to /system/vendor/etc, overwriting the original one.

I also copied it to vendor/etc as well, overwriting the original.

11. Reboot and test v4a.

Hopefully, this works for you. Thanks to OP for this ROM.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Wow....thanks.

Admittedly, I haven't been into the ROM threads for a few weeks, so I'm a few weeks behind the game :laugh:

I only just clean installed the new ROM update yesterday, so I'lll do it again today with Magisk instead and see if I can get it V4A going :good:

Has Magisk not messed up your data partition in TWRP? If not, It likely will. Or has that issue been fixed? From what I can find, it hasn't as yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] reaper000:
Supposedly fixed in 15.2

No problems for me (yet). But I keep most my stuff in my physical SD card just in case!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
I just noticed Magisk is on 15.3 now...last I knew it was still on 14.3...shows how much I've been following it the last few weeks!

Going through flash again now. V4A is the last thing I've been wanting to get working on Oreo. Once that's working, I'll be happy :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Anyone had issues using Titanium Backup to restore apps on the latest release of the ROM? I've tried everything, including a couple of clean flashes, but TB just hangs on 0% while restoring apps. I've tried different backup directories etc, all sorts of settings.

The weird thing is, if I install the app from the store, I can still use TB to restore the app data only from the backup.

it's worked on all previous ROMs, so may be related to the beta....not sure...but something isn't right.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] samorgs:
I've had no problems with TB, clean flashed the latest ROM version, downloaded TB and restored all my apps & data with no problems at all.

Cheers. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] reaper000:
Yup, just tried restoring a batch myself. No problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Thanks for confirming.

Damn..wonder what's going on with mine then.

Also, Magisk still hasn't resolved the TWRP data partition issue. I tried doing a TWRP backup, and it fails to mount the data partition. Sigh...

But I'm about to try installing V4A, and if that works, I'll happily accept that as a compromise.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Well, I tried this, and as has happened on every other Oreo ROM, it shows status abnormal and doesn't work.

I have no idea what you're doing different to get i9t working, but it just won't work for me at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
So I got V4A working, with some assistance from one of the devs of the module: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-viper4android-fx-2-5-0-5-t3577058/post75179896#post75179896 :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Sounds like you are using Magisk for root?

If you are, don't use it. Use SuperSU, as per the instructions in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Sony92:
i would need magisk because i have an app where i hide root privileges. and super su Hide I have already tried. does not work at all

I deleted "#pixel2" part. But dont work it:( Should i do something different?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Magisk causes the data partition problem in recovery.

To install Viper4Android FX from Magisk Manager.

And then also copy the audio_effects.conf that you unzipped earlier to /system/vendor/etc directory.

And as per my linked post, remove the #pixel2 from that line so that it's not commented out.

Do all this, then let us know what it says in the Driver Status of the V4A app.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Yes, it has been from the start back in November.

Battery life is good. Not quite as good as Nougat, but it's based on a Samsung beta OS, so it's expected. But I still get easily more than a full day out of it.

I have been reading around and was curious about V4A working on Oreo I have never been one to ask for help until reading and finding everything I could. I saw your posting and tried it out and can definitely also confirm your method you picked up works. If those others are having issues they need to make sure that they made sure it was strictly the "#pixel2" part and reboot. Btw running Magisk 15.3 no issues with the partition what so ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Drzhivagolikesandroid:
Is your ROM renovate oreo?

I did exactly as above.

But ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] OriginxRambo:
No I'm running the ZRA5 build of the from this thread but if it comes to help you or others I didn't do a clean install to have it. Doesn't mean I dirty flashed the rom either. I followed the same steps and running root with Magisk without a factory reset.

dirty flash rom

flash super su

i think other roms have no problem with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] reaper000:
Though I'm far from an expert, I'm suspicious of simply uninstalling SuperSU given what root now does to boot.img/kernel.

Gone are the days we could simply swap one root method for another without a clean flash.

So that's what I suggest. A clean flash, as is wiping everything except internal SD and external SD. Then flash Soldier's ROM, then flash Magidisk 15.3, then reboot.

Good luck

You can't mount TWRP ? WTF ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sonic254:
actually im also having the same problem

twrp is unable to mount any storage partition like internal storage or sd card

this all because of magisk

im wiping and doing a clean intall and then instead of flashing su ill just flash magisk then

imo the root of cause is su wasnt removed properly and then magisk was flashed over it :rolleyes:

I don't know why you guys are still having issues with Magisk. I installed latest Magisk with this ROM and I don't have ANY mount issues or root issues.

Give this kernel a try (on a clean flash) and select Magisk as root (also select to not back up any root settings). I've done this 3 times with latest oreo from this thread and I'm not having any issues.
