Viper4Android not installing drivers.

Jamal Ahmed · Aug 20, 2013

Hi, I tried to install viper4android sound mod but it is not installing. It says please check if the device is rooted or busybox is installed or not.
I am on PA 17th August and Franco kernel, with busybox and full root naturally. Is there any explanation or solution to install drivers?

I've tried:
°Uninstalling app and re-installing…
°changing Roms and kernels…
°turning on "safe mode" and "compatible mode" in the app
°deleting dalvik cache
°selecting A8 drivers and A9 drivers too (users said both work).

But still it won't install, it gives the same error

if someone can be of help, I'd be really grateful

thanks!

Make sure that u have installed busybox by opening that busybox installer app, people get confused by installing app only.
Rest I don't know, I have install this mod yesterday only working fine.

I had this problem as well, try downloading supersu and updating the su binary via TWRP. viper somehow worked after that.

Make sure you have the latest version by updating thru the in app settings. Also, superuser will not work. You must be using supersu for root.

Uninstall existing Viper APK. Locate XDA thread with viper_v2.3.3.0.zip in it (it also has 2 more tweak zips) and then first flash viper_v2.3.3.0.zip and then the other two from recovery. This flash wipes davlik cache so it takes some time to rebuild on boot. Then install Viper driver and boot again. Done.

I'm having this broken busybox or not rooted completely/correctly error trying to install any version of viper4android as well. I have always had viper on this tablet, latest complete install of firmware is when problem started. But I have tried all fixes as everyone else has including using a cached buybox apk from previous install just to make sure something hadn't changed in Stericson's busybox, no go.
This is a real head scratcher!

Here is what I found that fixes this:

OK all I have a fix for installing Viper on the Tab S.

Use any file explorer and navigate to /system/vendor/etc
Copy the audio_effects.conf in that location
Navigate to /system/etc and paste the file you copied there
Once copied change the permissions to match the other files in the /system/etc folder

Install Viper and it should work this time, apparently the audio.effects.conf file is expected to be in the /system/etc location and is not there by default for some reason....*"

Even though this file was where it said to copy to, contents were different. Either way, afterwards all I had to do was open the V4A apk and it asked to install driver, BAM........!!!!!!! Worked!

Dumb question, but have you made sure that you have granted storage permission in the Apps Menu?

like I said, my /etc had the file already as well, but by pasting over it, obviously changed contents, afterwards V4A installed drivers and worked.
I also found another mod that works, V4A FX, is 16ghz, but by downloading and installing V4A XHIFI, then installing the FX over it (you just activate the XHIFI, first check option under settings, then go back to FX), you get 32bit sound! Yeahhhh Baby!!!!!!!!
