Well I was tired of the moto useless equalizer with no real customization.
So I just downloaded Viper4android on my moto running KitKat 4.4.
It works fantastic actually better than it did on 4.2

Before you install stop audio effects and disable it
Then install viper4android fx
It will ask for root permission
Install high, medium or low battery use and rebooT

IRS , these are preset sound filters found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439254

Eargasm, enjoy

New to the Moto X. Does this mean that viper doesn't work unless you've unlocked bootloader and rooted with TWRP?

Thanks in advance.

Will do. My device doesn't actually arrive until Thurs but I'm trying to do as much research on the forums in prep.

Thanks!

not sure what the reason is, but after I installed viper4android, my "audio effect" app would crash whenever I open it. I forgot to turn off "audio effect" before I install viper4android, and now I cant even open up "audio effect". Does freezing the audio effect app turn it off?>

Stop and freeze it, you may also need to reboot

So, I have been using this and love it. However, I have noticed that if I have music playing through Spotify or some other application, the MotoAssist feature will not read out my text messages. If I turn off Viper4Android and don't have Spotify going while driving, the program reads off my texts without any problems. Can anyone here verify this?

I love Viper but I wish the Moto X sounded like my nexus 7 that I have dash mounted. There are more tweaks in Viper on the Nexus. Sounds good on the X but doesn't come close to the Nexus.

Please explain how there are more tweaks in viper 4 android on your nexus device. The V4A app is a single app there is not a special one made for a nexus unless you choose different ui settings within the V4A app all tweaks are the same no matter what device you use it on so please enlighten me. Very miss leading comment you have made.

I will post some screen shots. When I installed the Viper driver on the nexus it asked which chipset I had. I chose the correct one and it gave me about 3 times as many tweak in the settings.

Are you on the latest version 2.3.2.2 cause the drivers are set up to install automatically.

I know I'm on the current on my Note II, Nexus 7 2013, and moto x but I'm not sure about my car Nexus 7. I'm going to guess not but still the sound is better with those additional settings.


Edit: Note 2 I'm on 2.3.1.1

The installation no longer asks what kind of chipset you have. It now only asks the quality type you would like (Extreme, super, or high). I'm really hoping here that someone can speak to audio being muted through Moto Assist when using V4A. Anyone?

In your other post, you mentioned turning off V4A and Spotify fixed your problem...any chance the problem is caused by Spotify and not V4A?

I can't offer any insight to the problem since I'm not rooted yet, but I miss V4A from my Galaxy Nexus days and it's the main reason I want to root...however, if it really is V4A that's causing Moto Assist issues, I might think twice.

Thanks.

Anyone can confirm if Moto Assist reading of texts works with this or not, or if that experience up the thread was more a problem with Spotify?

    After some further testing, the issue is related to V4A. I am able to turn it off and get my vocal alerts. But the moment I turn it on for Bluetooth, the alerts are no longer heard. I can see Tochless control accepting my voice commands, but I get no sound out to my stereo. I'll be posting this in the V4A thread. Hopefully this can be fixed, as it is a BIG deal for me.
