My Driver Status option is blur and hidden (not activated)

You're on compatible mode, that's why the driver status is blurred out.





One thing I don't get is why people are talking about flashing things, all I did was install the official app in the Google play store and install it + give it root permission. All works fine. Am I overlooking something?

The official app is the one you flash, not install from the play store. Developer has mentioned it in the first post before. Some things might work for you that doesn't work on the official app.

You are semi correct the flashable zips are more like kangs of the official app. While some don't touch the app itself rather add a couple things to work around some of the issues. Others like the material design versions alters the app to look more like material design for lollipop users. The official app you install normally

Thanks, I'm in miui V6 ROM

First, I put V4A in system/app, it doesn't work
Then, I change it to semi-system/pri-app
And change V4A mode to Normal mode
Now, it works quite well with default miui-music apk, sound is perfect...
I use V4A for headphone only

Ah I forgot... He posts the official app links as downloads from his website. But otherwise we can agree that the Play Store version is not an official app.

Nothing solved with COlorOS 2 yet.

So viper4audio definitely does NOT work in colorOS, is that right? I can't find anyone who owns OPPO Find 7 using colorOS. who has successfully installed the driver.

It runs smoothly with ColorOS 1 with my Oppo Find Way S (U707)
But Not with my Oppo F7 (x9076) since upgraded to ColorOS 2. it only produces a rumbling sound when activated.
Been trying every workaround with no luck. That were including changing compatibility in setting, editing build.prop entry, installing lates busybox, alternating selinux between permissive and enforcing.

Hope someone will find the solution soon.
Love ViPER4Android very much.

Android 5.1.1

Viper4Android FX isn't working on Android 5.1.1 (CM12.1) on my 2013 Nexus 7, though it was working fine on 5.1. The driver won't install, even though it says the installation was successful. I've tried installing and rebooting multiple times.

Anybody who relies on Viper4Android FX, don't update to Android 5.1.1 (yet)!

Have you made sure selinux is set to permissive?

Sorry to bother you, but at this stage its still unclear for me what the difference is between the app in the Play Store and the zip file that has to be flashed. Version number is the exact same.

It isn't supported by viper520 and is meant to promote the app. It is also the original untranslated version while the one on XDA is English translated and made more accessible. I will say this again ( I hate repeating myself) the flashable versions are workarounds to various problems.

Will this work on CM12 and if I get force close on AudioFX how can I uninstall it?

Yes and use fx file explorer with root add on. Go to system root--> system-->priv app

Hit the 3 vertical dots and tap what says "mount read write". Check the checkbox and hit OK. Next tap and hold on audio fx until options show up and select delete. Check the checkbox then restart device.

So with Google taking down apps that can change SELinux I'm hoping we'll get an update that allows it to work on SELinux enforced.

We can only hope. I'm really against running on permissive but I want viper4android badly.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Can only speak for Nexus 6 for certain, but I would imagine no matter what ROM you are running you could run either Chaos Kernel or Hybrid Kernel. Maybe see if neobuddy89 added the commits I requested (and he obliged because he's awesome) on Hydra for the Nexus 6 on those kernels as well, and if not maybe ask if he would - I am very much able to run Viper4Android with SELinux in enforcing mode on my Nexus 6 if using Hydra Kernel. The same is true for leanKernel, but I do not believe Imoseyon has a kernel for Hammerhead. Hopefully neo added that to his N5 kernels too - if not I imagine he would if ya ask him nicely:p Hope that helps ya man

Can someone link the app to change SELinux to permissive please? I can't find the correct app in this forum. Some of them are really outdated i guess. Thanks!

This is from a device specific v4a thread not the main v4a thread. If you see the date of the op it is position in the European way of displayed calendar dates. 21/6 is June 21st so it could be that the thread was made either 2013 or 2014 and 2.2.0.9 is reference to an old version( then unreleased) of v4a FX and not XHIFI. It made better sense to actually read the op and not jump to conclusions.

The main thread has always said "Official Viper4android Audio Effects" along with the most recent release version. It never displayed a date.
I was wondering why I kept seeing that. Thanks for the info. I read the opening page numerous times just didn't know why that title was showing, and then when I entered the thread it went back to normal. I see I was entering from the wrong section in tapatalk thanks again.

SELinux Mode Changer was removed from Play Store but there's some links to the apk floating around. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60138814 Kernel Adiutor can change it (think that was also taken off Play though), or you can see if there's a permissive kernel available for your device?

Tapatalked that shiznit.

    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.​

    ----------------------------------------------
    Last Update Log
    Note: FX v2.3.2.5 onwards:
    1. Fully support x86 platform, but not fully optimised yet. (Using VHS+/Convolver may increase battery usage)
    2. Fully support true octa-core devices.
    3. Correctly-installed Busybox is required before installing V4A.

    If you see V4A installation pop-up loop, its probably due to incomplete root OR htc_audio_effects.conf

    Suggestion: Backup and Delete /system/lib/soundfx/libhearingprotection.so

    22. Why volume reduces after 10 seconds?
    A: This is not caused by V4A. Most probably you installed a bad and faulty xLOUD, ClearPhase or S-Force Front Surround port.

    23. In-call volume reduced?
    A: V4A will not affect call volume.

    24. What if my phone/tablet cannot detect headset plugin?
    A: Use lock effect mode and choose headset.

    25. V4A effects will spoil internal speaker/headset?
    A: Firstly, there's an audiophile limit in your phone, even if you max every single settings in V4A, u will never achive that limit.
    If the limit is achieved, your ears will blown off before the headset.
    If your earphone is not used to high volume/bass, with long period of high volume/bass will cause your headset to spoil (without V4A it will also spoil)
    For speaker, if a new phone straight away max the volume, within few days there will be distortion. Start off with 50~70% volume and after some time only max the volume.
