This may not be the best place to ask this but here goes:

I'm a long-term XDA member and long-term Android user. As a result I have used v4a regularly ..... but admittedly it's mostly been to just boost volume.

I mainly using Bluetooth headsets currently. I just got a new pair of Sony noise-reducing headsets but I also have some lesser expensive Cowin NR ear buds.

I've tried a number of pre-made profiles and some are okay but a lot of times I get a bit of a warbling sound to the music where the volume seems to fade in and out ever so slightly.

Here is my question with all of the multiple ways that one can change the sound of the music is there a guide somewhere that suggest a way to go about systematically changing things for the best sound.if there isn't then there is essentially an infinite number of ways to change things and it gets even more complicated since none of my headsets are listed in the list of headsets in some of the settings.

Thanks for your time

This version only work on my devices. Can you tell me what version is? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkSJ1998:
I moved to [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] 's V4A flashable zip which installs it as a system app. Now OOS doesn't kill it that much in the background.

I'm using "v4afx_materialized_v1.4(2.6.0.6).zip" now which was available on zackptg5.com.
[Android Apps and Games] pupun47:
Okay. Thanks, dude.
[Android Apps and Games] xperiaf:
thanks for all work.

i installed v4afx and run it, while i click "install driver now" and reboot, it worked.

then i found that a module named "v4a magisk module" installed into my Magisk, seems it's a driver as module.

so there are questions:

1. where is module's installer package(.zip file) from? i guess it's from v4a APK installer, while i found it not use internet.

2. if the driver is actually a Magisk module, could i separately install module by Magisk manager instead of opening v4a software, is it the same result?
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
Does anyone else still have an issue with V4A not changing profiles when headset is plugged/unplugged? I have to FC V4A and reopen it for the correct profile to open.
[Android Apps and Games] ADDICTED777:
Indeed... Will be fixed on the next build
[Android Apps and Games] makination:
I've got 2.6.0.5 version installed. If i want to uninstall driver from the app menu, do nothing. So i don't know if it's secure uninstall the app without uninstalling the driver before :eek:

Any response will be much appreciated!! :)

Nexus 7, 2013. Lineage OS 14.1

Every time I install drivers, reboot, open the app it requests to install again... Endless loop.

Hi,

Im using a headunit with Android 8 and magisk. Is it possible to uninstall the current v4a version and install 2.6.0.6 via the apk installer?
[Android Apps and Games] Joyjo:
Congratulations dev. staff,work well,while the official v.2.5.0.5 sent me the volume ringtone block,with this i have no problem.Thanks for work.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
It worked for a while but now it constantly asks me to install the driver. If I do so and reboot it asks me again. If I check driver status I get a message that there is an error to communicate with the driver server. Magisk module is installed.

Running a pie ROM on my S9+

And advice please.

Thank you

Profiles get deleted continuously

Hi guys,

first of all, thank you so much for your effort in creating this awesome app. Thanks to you I'm finally able to install ViPER with ease and it's mostly working great.

I do have one issue though. I like to create Profiles for my different music genres. But they get deleted every time. At first I thought it had something to do with me pairing new Bluetooth devices, but after pairing everything that is there to pair the profiles got still deleted every now and then. I can't see a pattern, one day they're just gone.

I all ready tried to reinstall everything several times, even tried different versions, but the issue remains.

Does anyone has an idea what's going on?

Greetings DerWigi
[Android Apps and Games] DerWigi:
Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I'll do then. Can't wait for the new version. Keep it up guys :good::D
[Android Apps and Games] kfatah22:
Hi, I know this request sounds odd but please any help is appreciated

Huwei phone on pie rom, magisk 18, busybox installed and every single v4a I tried keeps asking for driver installations

even this one ........ drive is installed reboot ... once the phone boots ... same driver installation request

I extracted the apk ... is there a guide to place the files somewhere around the system folders ... I am going nuts ,,, I can not live without viper :D
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
We are waiting for that fix for a long time now.. so if anyone wants a workaround in the meantime, import the attached macros into MacroDroid. It automates killing and opening V4A again so the correct profile is assigned. Not very elegant but it's better than doing it manually every time you plug/unplug headset or connect/disconnect Bluetooth headphones.
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
Version 2.6.0.5 is working correctly (it's the last one that automatically changes the sound device both in the app and its notification).

I downgraded to that one (installed via XDA Labs) and everything is working fine, and I'm running Android Pie.

EDIT: [MENTION=9073985]Team_DeWitt[/MENTION], maybe take a look at what you changed since that one, that broke the automatic device switching? :)
[Android Apps and Games] krotin:
Same here : s9 on soldier rom.

V4a worked on beta but doesn't work anymore on soldier's 13.2 pie stable.

Installing from. Xda labs results in driver being asked to be installed every time.
[Android Apps and Games] Zackptg5:
That's rather useless. Could you post more information into what's not working (instructions on the OP) and a full logcat so they can fix whatever the problem is?
[Android Apps and Games] groovy909:
THANK YOU and keep up the great work!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to the developers for this fantastic version of Viper4android! Everything works perfectly [OnePlus 5 Liquid Remix Oreo 8.1.0 + Magisk]. I installed 2.6.0.3 apk - it was the quickest, easiest V4A installation ever!

One small thing... not a complaint (because it's not an issue for me!) the driver status outputs are not capitalised.

The difference in sound quality is just AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!! :D:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Dante Enoshima:
If you guys have problem with any sound mod app after installed this V4A, i recommend you to exclude the V4A + Other sound mods you're using from Doze.

This workaround is for some errors that can be solved by uninstall then reinstall apps like Greenify.

It seems that Doze can cause this V4A to not work properly, and it can make other sound mods to get the similar error

In my case, this V4A made AM3D got white screen on my device. Although if i combine AM3D with the OG V4A and AML, it works fine.

And i kinda hope that the devs will fix this V4A error or bug in the future. Although yeah, it's an easy fix, but i think most ppl still want to let their sound mod apps to be included in Doze. But other than that, nice job devs. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Team_DeWitt:
Hi D.R-Ult.Googler,

I appreciate you sharing your findings. Let's hope it helps other users too. However I'd like to correct you a little on your last sentences where you state the issue being V4a. That's actually not the case. Some OEM's seem to tune their doze very agressive for user apps, and that kills the V4A service. It's not a bug or anything, nor have we any possibility to help end users with it. The flags in the service are already set as recommended for this type of service by the Android developers website.

Blame your phone manufacturer for the way they tweaked doze.

Also, using apps like greenify is just asking for troubles when combining them with V4A.

I hope this clears things up a little!
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Could you guys possibly make the app installable trough Magisk as a system app? I think it be less likely to killed if it has the priority of system apps. Even if you disable the battery optimization aka doze, it still can occur to stop processing. Previous versions of the Magisk modules had the app as system type and worked flawlessly.

Samsung is a complete pain in the ass when it comes to their system design. Haven't found any app or method that can install or uninstall system apps in a regular root fashion. My root is systemless trough Magisk so Magisk is kinda the only one that can do that job apart from some aroma installers truths TWRP.
[Android Apps and Games] cd993:
I unfortunately have to agree with this. Just one long page full of settings just doesn't have the same UX as the previous layout. For this reason, I too will be reverting back to a previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] Team_DeWitt:
You're probably right in that one. Installing in /systemt might be possible, but it's very risky to move the app it's own apk around. It would make uninstalls unreliable too.

If you'd like to install the app in a system folder, I suggest you do this manually by grabbing the whole directory containing the base apk from /data/app and place it in the priv-app folder.

We're planning to do a UI overhaul, but that is not our priority yet. There are some bugs which have to be ironed out first.
[Android Apps and Games] cd993:
That's totally understood, appreciated and by no means a criticism :) the functionality is superior to anything else out there and I have been a long time user. I'll be keeping a close eye on the development of this and will be keen to try out an updated UI once released!
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Aight I give it a try but why can't I edit the colors with the APK editor without getting this "please install the original APK"?

Otherwise this new version isn't bad at all, like the interface better than the original, easier to configure, apart from being little long paged.

It ain't too far from becoming pretty darn good. Only few things missing, system type app, optional themes and maybe compact the UI a little though that last part I'm not too concerned about.

I appreciate your good work guys, wish you the best of luck and I'd be happy to help in any way!
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Ok here is the materialized magisk module with the system type app that you just flash trough TWRP just make sure to uninstall any existing ViperFX modules. Reboot and if you want the AMOLED theme just download the APK I made and it will update the system app with the new theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Here's there AMOLED APK
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
This is just for those needy who really want this now. Then we can give the hardworking developers the time they need to do their thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Oh forgot them screenshots
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
The only minor bug with this theme is the section where you choose the Viper Bass and Clarity mode. The colors are the same so you can't really see what mode is active but you'll notice the button click animation effect when click on the desired mode. Total nightmare finding that bloody color value in the APK editor, even after hours of trial and error.

Install Audio Compatibility Patch, I have that outlined in the OP of the v4a thread for the flashable zip
[Android Apps and Games] neekless:
But why did you guys overhaul it to be more cluttered in the first place? Could've kept the original layout. Now you have to overhaul it again.
[Android Apps and Games] Zackptg5:
The 2.5 UI isn't open source of memory serves me correctly. 2.4 app was the newest they had to work with
[Android Apps and Games] neekless:
I see. Thanks for educating me. Appreciate it:good:

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

Anyway not sure if it's 2.6 or installing it as a user app that's causing a few problems:

1: when I swipe the v4a app away from recents, v4a effects stops processing for a few seconds then starts processing again.

2: sometimes if v4a is not enabled, enabling it will not start processing. Have to toggle on/off a few times before it processes. Vice versa: sometimes if it's processing, turning it off will not stop processing.

3: sometimes driver status does not show processing yes/no correctly.

Went back to an older magisk module where 2.5.0.5 materialized was installed as a system app and none of those problems happen.
[Android Apps and Games] Team_DeWitt:
Hi Ragnar,

Thank you for the kind words and nice to see you in this thread too.

The message will keep popping up when anyone tries to modify the apk. I've chosen to build this in because I've seen previous versions of v4a getting injected with ads or malware. I don't want this to happen to the app.

Another reason is that it's very easy to change a constant string in the smali to make it execute harmful commands. Anyone could exploit this and cause serious damage when spreading such an apk file.

I try to take my responsibility to protect the end user and am trying to fulfill it this way.

I hope you understand this.

Issue 1 is related to the app being installed in /data. If I stumble across a solution it will be added of course.

Issue 2 may be related to the app not controlling the driver. Maybe you have another v4a version installed. If not, I'll be needing some logs. I'd appreciate if you could pm me those. And I'm aware that the speaker still has some issues regarding to updating.

Issue 3 is because the driver needs some time to update. As I don't own the driver source, this is not something I can fix
[Android Apps and Games] Audioboxer:
The magisk module installation is asking me for drivers to be installed everytime, whereas the app driver install from this topic works.

However, it's always set to processing: no. On speakers, heaphones, etc. Tried YouTube, play music and more.

What are some main causes of processing not working? I've toggled the switch numerous times.

Android 9 on a Nokia 8 Sirocco. Install from Magisk worked fine on 8.1, HMD/Nokia have changed something with Android 9.
[Android Apps and Games] hengkidermawan:
thanks,..it works well
[Android Apps and Games] Audioboxer:
Fixed my own issue by disabling MusicFX in TB and rebooting.

Any tips for keeping Viper running? Pie seems to kill the app frequently if device goes into sleep.

Also I read there is a telegram channel for V4A, does anyone have an active link?
[Android Apps and Games] jesbu:
Am logged in but can't download it still any help please
[Android Apps and Games] JJEgan:
Not knowing what IT is..

If its xda labs link to app.

Its downloading no problem.

Do you hear a difference? There's a UI bug showing no processing at times.
[Android Apps and Games] muschiu35bv:
I am not sure but I will check to see if there is any difference.
[Android Apps and Games] agplugged:
Anyone found a fix for the bug that makes it so the app don't change modes even with headphones or external speakers are connected? It's nitpicking at this point but I hate forcing each mode whenever I need to XD
[Android Apps and Games] Dioser:
I think stable does. You on beta?
[Android Apps and Games] agplugged:
Nah, 2.6.0.6 stable.
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
Look back 2 pages I posted a hacky workaround. Otherwise use 2.6.0.5 (available on XDA Labs) until the new version is released - 2.6.0.5 does not have the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Dioser:
Hmm mine does. Just tried a couple of time. Cable/bt and verca

Oh. Don't use v4a on internal. Might be why. Missread I guess

Im downgrading back to oreo for my note 9 as i cant not have viper no other sound app even comes close to viper
[Android Apps and Games] bober10113:
on samsung note 9 the viper jan 16th v3.3 magisk module is working perfectly on pie!

i had busy box installed first...incase it makes a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Hi could you post the specific one you used please bro
[Android Apps and Games] bober10113:
heres my active magisk modlue list.

when you install viper choose aroma install. let it reboot to twrp and basicaly just install all defaults

again be sure busybox is installed. to check if it is, install busy box from stericson on the playstore and it will check if you have it baked in your rom( osmosis version). if no version comes up install it from magisk modules and reboot then do viper install
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Mate you are awsome thank you for that i shall be doing it now thank you so much for your time
[Android Apps and Games] bober10113:
i edited my post fro clarifications. plz reread

also when you reboot after vipers install. let the phone sit for a good 3 minutes. or else magisk root might denie viper requests. so wait before opening viper apk to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Keeps teling me i need to install drivers every time i open the app iv done it 4 times now am i missing somethimg?
[Android Apps and Games] bober10113:
remnants of old failed attempts?

is busy box installed?

ar you waiting a good 3 or 4 minutes before opening viper uppon reboot?

anyways if i were you id clean wipe your rom and start over. dont install anything elese appart from busy box. then viper. eventualy you'll get it working. again just be patient after a reboot, magisk is not active and needs a while to start and might be the source of all your issue.( i seen you post on br dekan rom thread and you might have residue of his viper install that are conflickting)
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Ah right ok i have a zip to remove all the remenants ill have a look again tomorrow getting late now lol thank you for your help it is greatly appreciated buddy.
[Android Apps and Games] bober10113:
not sure that will work. do a full twrp backup and start from scratch using the steps ive posted.
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Im goimg to have to factory wipe a clean flash the ron because i just cant get it to work
[Android Apps and Games] JazonX:
Same Reason + battery Life, I'm back on OREO as well.
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Not having a working viper just isn't an option really is it, its strange just one app is the reason for downgrading a whole rom for init lol
[Android Apps and Games] JazonX:
Had the same attitude back when I didn't know Viper4Android existed.

Just bought a pair of Jabra Elite 65T Earbuds. Viper4Android brings the best out of those.

Do it give it a try sometime.

Hi, I fully gratitude for those who create this awesome app. You just know what I need!

It makes me wonder how to install it in the right way cause I just installed the apk 2.6.0.5 (no twrp), installed the driver that asked from app, then reboot. But as I see in posts and blogs, it needs to be flashed by twrp and needs busybox. Have I installed it in the right way? Sorry for such noob question
[Android Apps and Games] Mrpookie:
Installation can be very different and not all methods work on all devices or setups. Test it to see if its working for you. Check driver status in menu
