[APP] Official ViPER4Android Audio Effects (FX v2.5.0.5) - New Features & 7.0 Support
- Thread starter zhuhang
- Start date
Hi! I'm new here!
I've heard about this app from an user telling me about the Googy-Max kernel as I have a Samsung S3 and want best from audio!
I've read the first post, but works like to understand if as a first install I should prepare my device editing the "build.prop" file or if I can install the ViPER4Android app I like.
Second it is not clear if installing the Fx version would be enough for good audio playback, and if all extra stuff will be downloaded automatically, or if I must install also the HiFi version also.
Then, will all the ViPER4Android settings and audio enhancements override the Googy-Max sound settings and audio enhancements, or will they just sum together as a super maximum sound experience??
Last, I use PowerAmp as audio payback app. Is it good for using it mixed with my situation? Will its settings interfere with ViPER4Android??
Thank you very much.

I have a new problem since i've updated the Android to 4.3 my device N7100 is unable to install the Driver i install it asks me to reboot i do it and then it does the same when launched installs and asks to reboot please suggest some fixes may be in a detailed way , I need this app badly or ill have to roll back to my previous Version which i dont want to .
I UN installed clean master. I will have to wait and see now if that was the problem (Thx, for the heads up Bobdo). I've dl'd the bbe, Dolby and dsx(?) From the links provided by Jake(?), Sorry, can't remember who's provided the link, but now can't find the starter pack.I guess Zuhang has removed it for now?

Ok, Zuhang,I tried to register on your new web site. It said to check my email.I never received anything (it's been a couple off hours now). Now I cannot register or sign in because, apparently it has my email, so won't let me.

I had the same problem using Clean Master. What you have to do is white list V4A in Clean Master and it will fix the problem.
Fix for Xperia Tablet Z
just so happens to be the same galaxy s4
just add to the bottom of build.prop
#
Ipa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false

Yeah but it's a problem with every eq on the one. In the faq in op you can delete a file in order to reduce background noise. Libbundlewrapper or sth like that. Maybe it's worth a try.
Alternatively wait for zero to update his sound mod in the one section.
Are you on sense or aosp? Maybe when HTC updates kernel source we will get a better driver
Alright, I deleted that lib and tried again. White noise was a bit softer but it's still there. I tried turning beats audio off and it was even softer. So I don't know if I should turn on or off beats audio as V4A is active.
Hi, Is this compatible with the Snapdragon 800 Note 3? Does it now work with the stockplayer? I read a thread, some guy said he was having issues?
Once installed, does this program help with weak system audio as well? I.e alert tones and, You Tube audio quality. In a way that Dsp manager does?
Thanks, sorry for the Qs, just not all that familiar.

Posted a few pages back.
I use V4A on my HTC One which is a Snapdragon 600 so it should work on the 800. The OP says it is compatible with Dual-Core/Quad-Core Snapdragons with a clock speed above 800MHz.

Thanks, is there a big improvement in sound? Are there set pre sets you can choose? Or is it a graphic equaliser?
It is a VERY big improvement in sound. Provided if you know how to tweak the settings.
Yes there is presets in the equalizer and the equalizer is a graphic one.
I'm still finding the right settings for Electronic music tho. If anyone has suggestions for setting V4A for EDM, it'd be great.
Thanks! Is the sound better through the external speakers too? Without headphones?
I do hear more details after the FX has been applied but that's really all actually. The amplification's already done with Beats Audio for me as I'm using a HTC One.
Since you're on a Note 2, I guess someone who's using a Samsung device could shed some light here.
Well, you know the advice given to the guy going to the doctor saying "doctor, it hurts when I do that!"? :laugh:

>>>You need to read the post relevant to turning OFF DC in Poweramp
Suggest you read the OP and instructions before installing .
SGS3 may not work on latest version use older if no drivers found .

ViPER4Android FX
FX is the main control panel of ViPER’s Audio with all popular ViPER’s Audio settings.
ViPER4Android XHiFi (Stopped)
XHiFi has less settings compare to FX. It has superior audio reconstruction which mainly used for restoring lossy audio quality.
FX Key Features
★ NEW: FET Compressor ★
New compressor / limiter simulating operation of FET circuits.
★ NEW: Quad-Channel Convolver ★
IRS support extends to 4-channels. *Requires special IRS files*
★ AnalogX ★
Richer and warmer sound by simulating the sound signature of pure class A amplifier. *v2.4.x and above+*
★ ViPER-DDC (Now Cuztomizable!) ★
Enjoy near HIFI sound on your headphones. *Not all models supported*
★ Spectrum Extension ★
Make your music sound lossless with enhanced high frequencies.
★ x86 Platform Support ★
Viper4Android supports x86 (Atom/Core i3/i5/i7) platforms.
★ USB/Dock effect Support ★
ViPER4Android supports USB/Dock audio output.
★ Speaker Optimization ★
First effect for speakers. Try it yourself.
★ Channel Pan ★
Controls left/right channel output. Its not very useful unless your headphone is imbalance or faulty one side. It will be a cure for you.
★ Differential Surround / Haas Effect ★
This is an old feature which ViPER520 had removed from FX in early days.
But after many users requesting it, ViPER520 bring it back to FX
More info on Haas Effect: http://www.mixcoach.com/creating-depth-the-haas-effect-2/
★ ViPER Fidelity Control ★
★ ViPER Bass ★
With different bass modes, you can have greater bass experience than before!
★ ViPER Clarity ★
With the latest Clarity mode selection, you can balance up heavy bass with high clarity audio that you can never imagine before!
★ Headphone Surround+ (VHS+) ★
With this VHS+, V4A made its way to achieve great surround technologies for Android.
★ Auditory System Protection (Cure Tech+) ★
With normal audio system, listening for more than three hours will feel fatigue, dizzy, tinnitus, irritated and other symptoms.
This is a normal reaction, heavy bass and high volume could cause permanent damage to the human auditory system, but other phenomena can restore through resting.
Viper as a listening experience professional will not ignore this problem. Therefore put a lot of effort to study how to make a "Healing" sound technology, just a small success. But thinking on how to let users experience it.
★ Convolver ★
When an Impulse Response Sample(IRS) is loaded, V4A will process the sound to show the same characteristics of the loaded sample. Through Convolution, samples with effects such as equalizer, surround, reverberation, tube etc can be loaded.
Download and extract IRS files to <storage>/ViPER4Android/Kernel/<paste files here>
★ FX Compatible Mode (Only in 4.x) ★
Compatible Mode supports large variety of music players and the players' own EQ/sound effects (system-provided/third party)
Therefore, you don't have to select V4A in Sound Settings > Music Effects, choose anything other than V4A. Just run V4A app and the effects will be working with anything else.
1. In option, switch to Compatible Mode. Reboot, done.
2. In Sound Settings > Music Effects, choose other than V4A.
3. Run V4A app and configure the settings then the effects will work together with the one you chose in Sound Settings.
