Hi Guys! When i use wired headphones the app works and processing is yes but if I use Bluetooth headphones I get processing no. I se. This is a app bug. I have OnePlus 6T with OxygenOS
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
Are you using the latest or another one of the 2.6.0.6 versions?

Try the one from XDA Labs, version 2.6.0.5, I think it's the best one. And I also suggest you set Battery Optimization to Not Optimized for it as OOS is pretty aggressive killing apps in memory.

You'll probably also have to disable/freeze the Dirac app or apps for it to work correctly, if you haven't already.

I have no issues at all with that version, either with wired or bluetooth, but I'm running a Custom Pie ROM on my OP3T because sadly OOS 9 isn't yet available for the 3/3T.
[Android Apps and Games] muschiu35bv:
I have tried 2.505 but now even wired headphones not working. I was on 2.6.0.6 version. It is any trick to make driver to work?
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
No idea then, for me it just always worked... :confused:

EDIT: what about the Dirac stuff? Is it disabled/frozen?

Just remembered something else you can try if you're using Magisk, install the Audio Compatibility Patch and Audio Modification Library modules and see if that works.

Bluetooth audio may be considered streaming by the system and could be using the deep buffer which might need to be patched.
[Android Apps and Games] muschiu35bv:
I have uninstalled everything and do it again and now both working with 2.5.0.5 version. One issue is that when i use Bluetooth at the processing it say no but works.
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
To be honest I have never checked if Processing says yes or no while using Bluetooth and I can't check it right now.

Those modules I mentioned are also needed for V4A to process audio from streaming apps like YouTube or Spotify for example.
[Android Apps and Games] sufy1000:
What does post processing do? Cause mine it says no and i don't see a difference, as my viper4android on my Nexus 6P is working.
[Android Apps and Games] JJEgan:
As above V4A on NO. PP.

Play music PP is YES.
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
I don't see post-processing, only processing...

Here's my Driver Status playing over Bluetooth.
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Mine works fine aswell, where did you download yours from? This thread or the xda labs one? I used xda labs and the second it got updated xda labs started downloading then and happy days all working again
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
From XDA Labs. It's the best one IMO because it's the last one that still changes the notification as the audio device changes.

It just works flawlessly and on Android Pie too, which is what I'm using on my OP3T. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dioser:
The no processing is a bug. Should be fixed in 2.7.

The bug shows in streaming aps yt music, Spotify and so on. It's a visual bug. If you can hear a difference it's processing, and non existent when local playback, from any player. Will say: processing yes.

:good: 2.7 is on its way. So they say. :silly:

It's been discussed in tg and will be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
Maybe it shows processing for me using streaming apps because I patched the Deep Buffer with the Audio Compatibility Patch Magisk module?
[Android Apps and Games] Dioser:
Could be. AWS i dont use viper. But for me, it showed processing or not, by own will, even though, surely was behind the curtain. :good: :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Couldnt agree more i love it on my note 9 man and yeah the labs one hets done first then the others follow suit then dont they
[Android Apps and Games] Fdraco10:
I do not know what to do, I have Magisk, module does not work, it always says "driver needs install" and I decided to use this apk but I install it normally like any other apk but it always asks me to install driver
[Android Apps and Games] android addicts:
After enabled secure startup on OnePlus3T (Pixcel experience Android P) this app always promotes to install the drivers. After disabled secure startup everything working as normal.

Phone : OnePlus3T.

ROM : Pixel Experience (Android P)

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Secure startup enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] Fdraco10:
Sorry dude, but what is that?
[Android Apps and Games] android addicts:
When you add lock screen security initially step ask enable secure startup. If you have enabled thia app failed to install drivers.

When your phone boosting, is it ask PIN or pattern or whatever security option to complete the booting? Then you have enabled it.
[Android Apps and Games] Fdraco10:
Thanks for reply, but I have to update my cellphone to Android Pie and Install APK like otherone finally works! Thanks dude
[Android Apps and Games] IonutGherman:
The driver is not installing on HavocOS 2.1 Android 9 on OnePlus 3T. The Magisk module is enabled, but is not working
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
In V2.7 how do I get the settings to restore proflies, etc ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] cmo220:
It's Profiles are in a folder called Preset, instead of Profile now. The naming structure of the profiles are different now, the files might be too, so old profiles probably won't work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
So should I add the folders profile, ddc, kernel, etc into the preset folder?
[Android Apps and Games] cmo220:
Only the profiles. But that alone probably won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
I put the profiles but there is nothing in the UI of V4a to enable the profiles
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
Is the Easter egg still I the new version? I can't find it anywhere. Also, where are the lock effect feature and the driver version select?
[Android Apps and Games] wackowizzard:
Not working. Magisk module is created, but everytime when I open the app, its saying that the driver is not installed. So I chose install driver, then its proccesing and phone reboots automaticly. But when I open the app again.....same story. What is wrong???
[Android Apps and Games] cmo220:
That's why I said it wouldn't work. It's looking for different files now I think. I'm at work so I haven't had time to play with it yet. Someone who knows more than I do will chime in at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
What happened to compatibility? I can't even load my presets anymore :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] lauralbaby:
Seriously what?

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Yeah, once you create a preset, you can open it by long-clicking on the channel on the bottom. The xml file is no longer understandable, but it's possible to read the old versions to make a new preset. I'm guessing it makes it easier internally, but what a pain...
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
So I can read the xml and create a new one?
[Android Apps and Games] phendrome:
Got a 3T with PE on Pie. What did you do to install it?

Mine's rooted and the driver fails to work after installation of the suggested driver that V4A prompts when you open it.
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
The new version's a pain. Do you have any other audio mods? If so, remove all of them, reboot, then install the drivers. If that still doesn't work, try downgrading to the beta. It may be old but it seems to be more compatible. :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
I switched to DTS a few days ago personally but am still very grateful for the devs hard work on V4A. I'm sure they have their reasons for the changes like moving folders.
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:

Im trying to get this to work on note 9 pie based custom rom, the drivers keeps crashing... someone help me out
[Android Apps and Games] phendrome:
No mods that I'm aware of. Pixel Experience is supposedly pure Android right.

I thought you had the latest version 2.7 – hence I asked. So you're using an older one?
[Android Apps and Games] joedajoester:
New app works good but the lack of compatibility mode in the settings means it WILL NOT work at all in Android Auto. Can this be added in a future update? I can't live without viper in my car.
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
I tried the latest version for a little bit but I didn't like it. The drivers were harder to install, I couldn't load my old presets. There isn't even an option to install 2.3.4.0 drivers nor an Easter egg as far as I know. The beta is much better. Try it and see how it is.
[Android Apps and Games] lauralbaby:
Actually it looks like it's simpler to use the text files in the Profile directory. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Quintuple:
Does this app have better touch targets on the buttons? Its very frustrating having to press exactly on the little switches to turn on/off effects.

Also on Pixel 2 XL stock rooted 9.0, trying to install the APK says "app not installed" and fails.
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
So I just copy the text files to the new folder? Or do I read them then recreate (sorry for being repetitive just making sure)
[Android Apps and Games] Saamyo:
Is LDAC support still out of the question?
[Android Apps and Games] Teh_Gaberz91:
For anyone else that's having trouble installing, here's what I did.

Installed the Magisk module

Replaced the apk in system/priv-app/Viper4Android with the 2.7 apk

Reboot and enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] emjimadhu:
Hi, I've been using this for about an year! Today I have upgraded to 2.7 stable. Now there is no option to load the preset. I've spent some time to customise it in old app. Please bring back load preset option.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Viper 2.7 Help Is Here!

Like many of you, I updated Viper to the new 2.7 version. Immediately, I encountered many problems and aggravations. Here's what I learned that may also help you:

Updating from an older version did NOT work properly for me. Uninstall the old Viper app and the corresponding Magisk module and reboot. Now go to the XDA Labs app and install the new Viper 2.7 apk.

After fully installing Viper 2.7 and rebooting your device, reboot it again. (This extra reboot may not be necessary for you but it was necessary for me to get Viper to process properly.)

None of the old Viper profiles are compatible with version 2.7. You will have to recreate them (now called "presets") in this new version.

The old 2.3.4.0 sound driver is no longer supported in Viper 2.7.

All previous bugs that I dealt with seem to have been squashed. (e.g. Having to open/close Viper and toggle it on/off to get it to process, displaying an inaccurate processing status, etc.)

The currently available substratum theme does NOT properly theme this 2.7 version. However, putting the Android Messages app into dark mode also puts this version of Viper into dark mode as well. However, no further theme customizations are available at this time (e.g the lime green toggles).

The presets you create are per listening device and they are stored separately. For example, saving a Bluetooth preset would NOT also save the current Speaker preset. Each listening device's preset must be saved and restored separately. I LOVE THAT! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] agplugged:
On the new 2.7, copying presets within the app doesn't seem to work between BT and Headphones.

Also: the app isn't installed to priv-app or the system partition at all. Is that normal? Magisk module written as installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Maverick Jester:
Pixel 2 XL, stock Android Pie, February patch level, no other audio mods installed, MusicFX disabled, and I followed the instructions to install this as per [MENTION=4204995]sjamie[/MENTION]'s post. However, the driver status remains Abnormal and the audio format is Unsupported. I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled etc. a few times already with no success.

Going to go back to JamesDSP with Ainur Sauron for now, as this still works for me.

EDIT: after I uninstalled MusicFX via a Magisk module, ViPER is now working correctly. Even moving the app into system/priv-app doesn't break it. For anyone else having this issue, try this out.

The module I used is Debloater, and can be found in the repo. Ensure you have a terminal emulator installed in order to execute the commands.
[Android Apps and Games] champagne66601:
In the new version, is there any way to stop the service? With the old version you could close de service by the notification and it was cool.
[Android Apps and Games] Bigb12:
Anyone else having issues with it processing for the phone speakers? Bluetooth and headphones are working great for me, but not the phone speaker.
[Android Apps and Games] shadowstep:
Are you referring to this substratum theme? Also, on an unrelated note, that was a very helpful post. Keep up the good work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] wackowizzard:
Hi,

This does not work for me. When I restart, the Viper4android application is not drawer in my app. If I go to look in the system / private app / Viper4Android folder, everything is gone. I used Viper4android on my previous mobile phones, and I've never had any problems. But with my Galaxy S9 + it is apparently not a joke to install this. I've tried everything ... unfortunately, nothing works. There will be something that I do not do well or something, but I would not know what. It works seriously on my nerves. Can someone help me please ???

Tnx
[Android Apps and Games] mrjuniork:
Totally agree with you... [MENTION=4204995]sjamie[/MENTION] for RC ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Yes, that's the one that will no longer theme Viper 2.7 properly unless you like this look. :D
[Android Apps and Games] phendrome:
How did you install the drivers for 2.7?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
You could turn it off using the "Master Limiter" switch, clear Viper from Recents, or I've remapped long-press Back to kill the foreground application using Button Mapper in the Play Store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton

I also encountered this problem until I completely uninstalled the apk AND the Magisk module, rebooted, reinstalled Viper and rebooted twice.

That makes sense since MusicFX causes a lot of problems with many sound mods.
[Android Apps and Games] giannism13:
Hello guys and sorry if this has been addressed before but I couldn't find a solution.

So, right after I installed the latest version of the app from xda labs (I'm not upgrading, this is my first install) and I grant it root permissions through SuperSU, it prompts me to install the driver, but just before the installation progress bar is full it crashes. Rebooting and trying again doesn't help, so I can't get the driver installed. I'm using Nexus 5x with the latest stock 8.1
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
You should not have any problems installing the new 2.7 version if you follow the steps I listed above. You are correct in noticing your old sound profiles and the old 2.3.4.0 driver are no longer supported. To me, the new driver produces about the same sound quality. Give it another shot! :good:

Is there a way for you to use Magisk instead of SuperSU? Magisk is the new standard for rooting a device today.
[Android Apps and Games] bassguy60:
Pixel 2 Pie stock (February) facing similar problem with Abnormal and no sound on 2.7 when music is playing through Pandora, Spotify, etc. Uninstalled MusicFX using Debloater as recommended. Reinstalled Sauron, V4A and AML but still getting Abnormal and no sound. Viper alone works fine, but has anyone gotten the new version working with Sauron?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
What does Sauron do for you? Every time I've tried it, I have not noticed any difference in sound. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Logan:
[MENTION=9073985]Team_DeWitt[/MENTION] epic update dudes! The new design is flat and simple :good: the jump is huge compared when the project has started.
[Android Apps and Games] agplugged:
I did, using all three on pixel 2 xl jan patch.

Uninstalled/reinstalled all the mods, disabled musicfx and moved viper to priv-app. Works fairly well even though I can't quite replicate the old audiophile profile from 2.6 XD
[Android Apps and Games] Maverick Jester:
The OP says that this version does not work with other audio mods. I'm not taking the chance of screwing up my setup so I'm only keeping ViPER enabled for now.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
HA! I feel the same way. I'm curious about trying out JamesDSP and comparing it to Viper but I'm afraid of messing with perfection. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Team_DeWitt:
BIgger touch area will be added in a newer update, good suggestion.

Presets are not cross compatible. It was just not maintainable.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76466932&postcount=3277

You have to recreate the presets. Ones created by this app will work, but they're not cross compatible

[Android Apps and Games] LAKAME_MAN:
How are you supposed to uninstall the drivers in the new update?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I don't see an option to uninstall the driver only. For a complete uninstall, uninstall the apk AND the Magisk module and reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
I uninstalled all my other audio mods and just kept on hitting install.
[Android Apps and Games] artisticwizard:
In magisk manager uncheck the checkbox, then the trash button and reboot. And uninstall the app.
[Android Apps and Games] TENN3R:
I'm reading that the installation is just an apk from XDA Labs, however I see people talk about a Magisk module

Since the only magisk module I know it's the one from Zackptg5, do I need to install just the apk or where can I find that zip?

Using Google Pixel, stock rom + Magisk 18, I'm talking about this new 2.7 version, while *not* having any viper module or apk installed.

No, just install the Viper 2.7 apk and it will automatically create a Magisk module.

Been trying this **** for hours.

Removed MusicFX via Titanium Backup.

Removed Audio Modification Library (magisk module that I tried).

Cleaned dalvik/cache.

Tried older version of V4A. Driver still not working.

[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Viper probably still works with SuperSU on some devices. Since development for SuperSU is now dead, Magisk is just an overall better solution offering more compatibility. Glad to hear you now have Viper working properly!

Not all OnePlus devices have a problem because Viper is running flawlessly on my OnePlus 5 running stock OOS 5.1.7 (Oreo). Did you fully uninstall ALL audio mods including MusicFX and reboot a few times before attempting to install Viper 2.7? Personally, I encountered various problems until I did that first.

[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:

I deleted MusicFX using debloat, all audio magisk modules and rebooted, after, I downloaded using xda labs and installed. Opened and asked to install the drivers and to reboot, I did.
