Have you tried the RE Version ? When I updated my device to a Pixel 7a I found out that it is 64 bit only, I switched because of the exact issue, hanging on installing driver with the repackaged version, although I believe since then they have updated it to work on 64bit devices there seems to be issues, someone else is having problems but say the RE version works for them but they need the Convolver functions which dont work at the moment with the RE one.

Read back a page or so for the discussion
[Android Apps and Games] Saicoth:
Yes, I tried RE and it works fine, I installed JamesDSP though till the Convolver get's REed as well.

I used rootlessjamesdsp on a ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, but rootlessjamesdsp doesn't process in android auto so I bought a Poco f5 just for viper, because I couldn't root the ZTE phone. Tested my old RN5 with android auto and viper worked. Little did I know that 64 bit makes viper unusable. RN5 also shows 64bit on 64 bit checker app, but it's 64bit OS. Is there a difference between 64bit device and OS?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Does a 64 bit device not just mean it can run either 32 bit or 64bit OS ? If so then this problem might be with the 64bit OS,

The problem is that there is no offical 64 bit driver as official Viper4android development ceased along time ago, not sure if its device specific issues stopping the installation, have you opened an issue on the repackaged github page? from what you have done it looks to me that there is a problem with how repackaged is installing the 64 bit driver as the RE version works.

I couldn't get viper working with AA either for the longest time but seems my issue was that AA does not work with legacy mode enabled, I need legacy on for a couple of streaming apps (FM4 and BBC Sounds) I can get them working with legacy mode disabled by playing something in YouTube music first, stopping it, then playing FM4/BBC Sounds, I dont use a convolver so am fine with RE, which is better as nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] Saicoth:
Yes, that's why I'm confused, on my Redmi Note 5 running evolution rom a11, it's 64bit OS and viper running just fine, repackaged or installed from apk even 2.5 works. I tried from 2.1 to latest 2.7 on my poco, nothing, driver not found loop. Earlier versions don't recognize busybox installation even though I had it, also SELinux permissive.

Saw someone here post screenshots with viper 1.6 with busybox and a13 and it worked on a Redmi Note 8. I tried that with Poco and couldn't get viper to work with busybox.

I haven't opened any issue on the repackaged github because the dev says ''I am not a ViPER dev, nor am I capable of fixing your broken install or ROM.

If you have trouble to install ViPER4Android this way, please do hesitate to ask me.'' xD

Not sure if this is indeed related to 64bit or not.

JamesDSP is also a great alternative to v4a, root version is a bit buggy because it doesn't save your live programmable DSP settings but other than that it's like using viper. Instalation is similar to Reverse Engineered viper, one module and one app.

What I'll test next is upgrading to A13 or 14 if available on RN5 and test viper. Could be android13-14 issue.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Some newer devices ONLY run 64b
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
ligcat is a check that should be done.
[Android Apps and Games] Saicoth:
I tried another method posted here https://xdaforums.com/t/bounty-viper4android-fix.4452235/

Still says driver not found. I left it like that and gave up, later I started AA emulator on my windows to test JamesDSP with AA.

As soon as I started playing music on AA I got a viper notification with processing, but when I open the app driver not installed pops up and I can't interact with the effects.

So to me it seems like something is working if not everything, but can't know for sure since I can't enable master limiter.
[Android Apps and Games] ninjakira:
All right I'm at a loss, I keep getting this from the repack version, I'm just trying to use the magic module since it says I don't need to install the app separately, moto edge 2021 stock root
[Android Apps and Games] Norbosz:
Shadowstep: Still developing the Viper4Android FX add-on? I still have a Oneplus 8T and I want to upgrade to Android 14, but I don't know if your program, which you created and works perfectly on Android 13, would work on Android 14?
[Android Apps and Games] shadowstep:
It should ideally work in OOS 14 too. Why don't you give it a shot? :) I haven't updated my 9R to OOS 14, still running OOS 13.1, so haven't tested myself.
[Android Apps and Games] Norbosz:
Indeed. I tried it and it works perfectly on OOS 14. I am very happy to continue using it! Thank you! :)
[Android Apps and Games] vibrantliker:
What phone do you have? I've stayed on A12 because of the uncertainty of V4a not being compatible with newer firmware
[Android Apps and Games] gfrank227:
I have Moto G Power 2023. I am using the reverse-engineered version, but would much prefer to use the repackaged version because of headphone surround. It is using Android 13.

Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I get a driver installation loop and cannot get it to work at all. Have already tried ACP and AML to no avail. Its possible I would need to downgrade magisk which I am willing to do if necessary. But i already tried with magisk 25.2 with no success previously.

If there's anyone who is aware of what code would need to be added to the "post" file to get it to work properly, I would be grateful.
[Android Apps and Games] Norbosz:
I have a Oneplus 8T. I have the original OOS 14 ROM on my phone. A13 and A14 compatible with viper fx by Shadowstep.
[Android Apps and Games] vibrantliker:
Do you mind sharing your steps to getting it working? I decided to get a Pixel 8Pro and try getting it working.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Pixel 8Pro is 64 bit only which means you may have to use the RE version
[Android Apps and Games] vibrantliker:
That's this one, right?

[Android Apps and Games] vibrantliker:
Thanks, what's the module? I don't think I remember that since the last time I installed it.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
The module is the driver, instructions are on the github page
[Android Apps and Games] vibrantliker:
Got it, thanks! Is there a version of Magisk you recommend, i.e..

Beta

,

Canary

, or

Stable ?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
I use canary but am pretty sure it will work with stable, no need for a special version of magisk
[Android Apps and Games] vibrantliker:
Appreciate all your time. What phone are you using with V4A?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:

So, I'm on my holidays and stuff happemed and I no longer have root on my phone... Is it possible to use Viper4Android without root?

when I open it it shows me this, but is i hit Ok it fails...

I'm still 3 weeks away from my PC to root the phone again...
[Android Apps and Games] shadowstep:
Nope, you need root. It won't work without it.
[Android Apps and Games] mecaskey:
S24 rooted. Working great! Good to be back after two years unrooted on snapdragon s22!
[Android Apps and Games] VerticalCobra:
I'm also using RE version on Pixel 7 Pro Android 14 stock 64bit and it works with legacy mode only. Does legacy mode downgrade some options or is it all we can do right now?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
In my experience its certain apps that will only work in legacy mode, BBC Sounds and FM4 need legacy mode but Youtube music works fine in normal on my Pixel 7a, can't say I have noticed a difference in sound/options with legacy mode enabled
[Android Apps and Games] VerticalCobra:
Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Essentrix:
Hi All

Have Samsung A55 5G, Android 14 stock rooted, Magisk 27. Installed the RE 0.6.1 magisk zip file and 0.6.2 apk, rebooted.

Opened App, allowed notifications, legacy off/on, master on.

Not processing

Do I need anything else?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Take it you tried to play some music? What's the driver status in the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Essentrix:
Hi mate, thanks for getting back to me. Yes tried playing music and uninstalled the program but driver status isn't supported. 😓
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
What music program? I would use youtube music or something that is confirmed on other devices as working, have a look at the Github Page to see if there are any issues with your device, hope you get it working
[Android Apps and Games] Essentrix:
Used a couple without success. Will give your suggestion a go. Appreciate your time and well wishes mate!
[Android Apps and Games] Essentrix:
Thanks for the help mate!

Decided to re install the ROM as had a feeling it might be legacy files from trying to install repackaged version.

Have it up and running now.

Any idea on where the installed files are located? Checked Android/data doesnt seem to be there unless the program is under a wierd name. Want to add a vdc file.

[Android Apps and Games] bizkit_120:
Hi any one experience this ? Legacy mode works perfectly fine on my phone a13 magisk 27, as soon as system notifications received, viper stopped working. Tap legacy mode again it back to normal.. it's pretty annoying.. anyone has solution?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Not had that issue but have you disabled battery optimisation for Viper? Might help, not knowing your device specifics
[Android Apps and Games] bizkit_120:
Motorola g stylus 5G 2023...like I mentioned it only stops when notifications received.. don't think anything to do with battery optimization.. as daemon still runs at the background just distorted by system notifications
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
That's not what you said in your post, you said it stops working and need to toggle legacy mode to get it working again, so is it stopping working or is the sound being distorted when you receive a notification? And to fix the sound you need to toggle legacy Mode?
[Android Apps and Games] bizkit_120:
Yea..it ONLY stops when system notifications come in..very odd.. toggle again legacy switcher it works again..
[Android Apps and Games] skuppej:
I've noticed that I need to use Legacy Mode for Bluetooth processing and turn off Legacy Mode for USB/Android Auto. Wish this could be unified so I don't have to switch back and forth.. :\

Using:

Pixel 7 64-bit, LineageOS, V4A Driver v0.6.1, V4A-RE App 0.6.3, Audio Compatibilty Patch v2.5, Audio Configuration Database (ACDB) v0.49

+ Also:

Ainur Narsil, AOSP soundfx Remover v2.12, Audio jitter silencer v1.0.8, Pixel Tensor Audio Decompressor v2.1.0
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
That's strange never heard of having to change for different outputs, don't use any of your add ons so dont know if they are the cause of it, I would try just viper-Re on its own to see what happens
[Android Apps and Games] skuppej:
yeah I started with it on its own and worked my way up with addons. Still had the issue V4A by itself
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Have you opened an issue on the github? What music app are you using to play the music on different outputs?
[Android Apps and Games] skuppej:
Nope- I figured I'd start by mentioning here...but I will if you think it's worth it I'll file one. But my bet is it'll probably under the 64bit rewrite.

It seems to be "accepted" knowledge to just use one mode or the other, with many guides specifically stating to only use the Legacy mode until things get updated. And if the new mode works, hey, great..
[Android Apps and Games] skuppej:
Spotify and Youtube music
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
I have never heard of that issue, having to use legacy mode for different outputs, on my Pixel 7a I have to use legacy for two apps I use, namely BBC Sounds and FM4 both will only process in legacy, which I understand to be a failing of how the apps are coded (Not broadcasting session ID) read somewhere thats why legacy mode is required, I use Youtube Music and works on all outputs in both modes, dont use anything with USB so cannot speak for that, but I only need to use legacy with those other apps, regardless of bluetooth/loudspeaker. would open an issue to see if anyone else comments, just had a look at the github issue page and I do not see anything like you have described so I would open an issue and see what happens
[Android Apps and Games] andyxo:
Hi guys, got a new stock rooted Android 14 Pixel 5 here and trying to install V4A... my first attempt is with programminghoch10 / Viper4AndroidRepackaged v87 but after installation/reboot I have no Viper-DDC selection setting (but weirdly there are a bunch of headset files in the DDC folder) plus I am also missing the settings on the bottom where I can select either phone speaker, bluetooth etc. Otherwise V4A works fine, but I am missing those two vital (for me) settings. Were those settings intentionally removed from Viper4AndroidRepackaged ? Or is it because my Pixel 5 is stock and this app "is targeted at LineageOS 21" ?

Ummm, so yah, can a fellow Pixel 5 owner or one of you V4A experts please point an arrow to a V4A version that has the DDC (& Convolver) settings plus the selection on the bottom for Phone Speaker / Bluetooth that might/should/probably work with my phone? I am ready and willing to uninstall this version and try one, two or three other ones that you may point me to. Huge thanks :)

The following app I built (no moneytisation) can Freeze and or / hide (which is at a system level not simply the launcher level)

You can find the method in the menu at:

"Application Info / Manage">"Sate">"Freezer"​

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-temefi-comprehensive-documentation-t3806260

My personal preference is for "Hibernate-Freeze-Hide"

It can also Re-Nice, reset the OOM (up or down) and other stuff, which may also help when trying to work out why Viper is Dying. As well as temporarily turning SELinux on/off
[Android Apps and Games] JBolho:
It's the other way around. V4A has no 64bit driver for it to work on Huawei's Oreo devices. Only mod with 64bit driver currently is JamesDSP

Hi, can we get a Hotfix for the crashes that happen when you make a sound routing change?
[Android Apps and Games] LeMoise:
I'm surprised how much of a difference using this application makes when listening to music! I installed it for the first time yesterday because my sound was washed out when connecting to my car via Bluetooth. Installed this, found some good profiles and the difference is immense! Can't imagine ever going back to listening to music without Viper installed.

Found this after the Viper 2.4 didnt work on my newly bought bluetooth earphones. Apparently it crashes when i press OK on installing drivers. I'm on 5.1 I'll try reporting it soon
[Android Apps and Games] rypz79:
Hi,

Can someone please address my installation problems written here and here.

I've also tried adding an empty text file at /data/data/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx/databases/ViPERDDC.db which didn't help, I can't install the drivers.

I'm using Phantom Kernel for Android 6.0.1 TouchWiz Roms with superSU 2.82SR5

TnxAloT

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
Have you tried using version 1.7.4 from the magisk manager app? When installing pick old each time it asks. I'm totally not trying to hijack or anything, in the past (and I've been using viper since day 1) the drivers were always a pia. But that Version works for me with no issues. I'd also install the audio compatibility mod just in case.

Personally and admittedly I don't know the difference that y'all are after so I could be way off. But if it's a visual thing I don't see the point of going crazy about drivers when you'll only see viper when your screwing with it.

Totally a personal observation, but so far everybody I've told to use that version has had success with it. Worth the try and if nothing else you just uninstall it if you don't care for it.

Unless there's something amazing in these other versions and if so let me know. I like my tunes to sound right myself so if there's some giant improvement from that to this version I'd be interested to hear what it is
[Android Apps and Games] rypz79:
I'm using SuperSu.

In order to use Magisk I'll have to install the ROM all over again.

I'll nandroid backup and try AROMA in MOD/change mode (keep the data).
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
What exactly is the issue? Are you trying to install this ViPER4Android as a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] MArtyChubbs:
P3XL, 9.0. Installed AML after successfully installing driver and it removed Viper app, still see it in Magisk. Deleted everything and now when I install driver, Viper app disappears.
[Android Apps and Games] gloeyisk:
How about if you re-install the app? Have you tried it?
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
I was wondering that myself. The version I mentioned installs the drivers during the flash process so there nothing else I've ever had to do.
[Android Apps and Games] MArtyChubbs:
I installed the apk and kept the module installed. Works now but not processing? I hear the effects though
[Android Apps and Games] kpirnie:
are u playing music? on older devices i had, it would only show as processing as long as audio was being played...
[Android Apps and Games] MArtyChubbs:
Correct. Google Podcast and Music apps..
[Android Apps and Games] byReqz:
After connecting wired or bluetooth Headphones, i got random reverb that sounds really odd. After i restart the app, its working normally again
[Android Apps and Games] rypz79:
Alright. I solved it, partially at least.

I've re-installed the "stock" Viper4fx that comes with my custom ROM (MagMa-NX.PCE) so now I've got two Viper4fx managers running with same drivers (2.5.0.4).

The thing is when I go to the new (this) manager and try to enable it for headset I get this message: "A running program has requested Android to disable audio effects, so V4A will be temporarily disabled."

I digged down and couldn't find which program it's about :confused:

Maybe the two managers collide?

They both seem not to work since I don't get any effects or boost in any of there headset setting...

Any suggestions will be gladly welcomed
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
Yeah I don't think having two of them is a good idea, they most likely interfere with each other...

If your issue is trying to install this V4A as a system app, I think it won't work very well, at least I was never able to get it working correctly as a system app. Also, [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] was also not able to get it to work perfectly as a systemless Magisk "system app".

I believe it was made to work as a user app and honestly it works great for me like that, even without disabling battery optimization.
[Android Apps and Games] rypz79:
Yap. Your'e right.

I've unistalled the "stock" Viper4fx rebooted to recovery flashed v4afx_materialized_v1.4(2.6.0.6).zip it detected Magisk root and installed it to /system.

The thing is I still get this "failed copying DDC database" error message where and what id that db ? any workarounds?

TnxAloT
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
Hmmm no idea, never had that error... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Never saw that msg. DDC files (if any) are located at /storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android/DDC/

Make sure Viper has storage permissions.

Open Viper, tap 3 dots at the top right corner, then close. Then open Viper again and try again.

Make sure you remove the old Viper4Android and it's Magisk Module if you use Magisk before installing though.
[Android Apps and Games] }{Alienz}{:
Can confirm 2.6.0.6 works good after re-installing the Magisk driver module. Just uninstall it, reboot, open the app....prompt to install, reboot, good to go.
