First of all I need root on Nougat,can you link me to your guide?

I think there is a tutorial for this somewhere in the forum, but okay, come on!

You will need:

1. Odin 3.11+
2. TWRP 3.1.1+
3. Supersu.zip

How to make?

- Flash the TWRP in Odin, in the AP option. (uncheck the auto-reboot option)
- When finished, hold down the Volume Down, Volume Up, Power, and Home buttons together.
- As soon as the screen erases, just release the volume down. Keep the others pressed.
- Once you enter TWRP, go to Wipe> Format Data and type yes.
- Install supersu.zip
- Restart and be happy.

This will void the warranty on your device. Do it at your own risk!

Can you enter TWRP?
IF you get in TWRP you can restore your backup..

    Hello people!

    First of all, excuse my lousy English! I'm using the translator.

    Well, as soon as I upgraded my A5 (2017) to Nougat I looked for tutorials that would allow me to root to remove the useless apps that Samsung inserts into the device, and install those that are useful but not available to the average user (without root).

    Among these is the ViPER4Android FX, which I could not use because of the SELinux (enforcing) native Kernel.

    I have found a way to work without having to change the kernel.

    What we need?

    1. The minimum of prior knowledge.
    2. Device with root.
    3. Recovery modified. (like TWRP)
    4. ViPER4Android FX zip file. (thanks guitardedhero)
    5. supolicy zip file.
    6. audio_effects.conf file.
    7. File manager with root privileges. (like Root Browser)
    8. Flash facilitator Application. (like Flashify)
    9. Busybox. (like Stericson)
    10. Application uninstaller. (like Root Uninstaller)

    How to proceed?

    1. With the Application Uninstaller remove Adapt Sound and SoundAlive.
    2. With the flash facilitator, flash the ViPER4Android FX zip, after supolicy and reboot.
    3. When you start, install Busybox.
    3. Open the File Manager, navigate to /system/vendor/etc, and rename the audio_effects.conf file to audio_effects.conf.bak.
    4. Copy the downloaded file of the same name, and paste it into the folder.
    5. Set the -rw-r-r-- permission on the file and reboot.
    6. When you start, open the ViPER4Android FX, allow root access and, if prompted, install the driver.
    7. Set the settings in the application and enjoy a great sound experience!

    Attached is the file with the settings I use. Put it in the ViPER4Android folder, at the root of your storage, and load the perfil in the application.

    All merit goes to the people who made it possible by creating files and tutorials. I'm just sharing the information.

    Hi, has somebody tested V4A Fx fully working in A520F nougat? I'm extremely impressed with the audio quality of V4A Fx and I am using it in my Lenovo smartphone. I'm gonna root my A5 device if this is fully working. Appreciate any feedback please. TIA


    It works 100%!

    Use on my A5 with Nougat.
