[APP] Official ViPER4Android Audio Effects (FX v2.5.0.5) - New Features & 7.0 Support
- Thread starter zhuhang
- Start date
There is a question in your 1st screenshot. It says "Patch audio_policy?" There are 3 more questions after that.
I see, I usually do not pay attention when installing modules, ok, I'll try again.
No, the same thing, it doesn't work. Answered "yes" everywhere, right?

If your running a newer device, the system will be RO, so Viper has to be Mounted on boot every time (ie installed via Magisk). Which means you need magisk installed. ie basically rooted. You can of course simply deny root to everything except Viper. And you dont even need to have root granted to Viper after it has been installed.
Thanks for the reply, but I don't know if I get it...I need root only for installing the first time ? Or should I be rooted to not have to grant permissions every time I boot ?
Hi I am having some troubles getting v4a to work on my Oneplus 7t running Lineage OS 18.1.
v4a has been working on and off for me for the last few updates and I would like some help to configure it from someone that knows a bit more.
So my biggest problem is that v4a does not recognize when I'm playing media. I have the from my knowledge newest version (v2.7.2.1) with driver v2.5.0.4. Are there any other modules or settings I need except the default ones?

You will need magisk installed,, all the time. But, you do not need to have root granted for it to run; only for the install.
But you still need to keep magisk installed for it to stay installed. So technically, your phone is rooted, whether you use root or not.
Fixed this. Apparently I have to be in legacy mode and then press play e few times.
New problem, the driver will not process if master limit is off and when it is on I only hear a loud noise like from those old TVs
Is there any way to fix this?
Master limiter is like a power button for V4A. It has to be turned on to process.
As far as the noise you describe, do you have any other audio mods or audio equalizers (maybe a stock one?) that are installed?
AudioFX comes bundled with Lineage but as far as I know it is disabled. Also I am (not exclusively) using VLC where there is an equalizer built in (I have it turned off). For Spotify it is turned of and for my normal music player too. If AudioFX is the problem do I have to forcefully remove it or can I just stop it from running?
Also I should bote that this only happens to some specific presets and/settings.
If it happens with only specific presets and settings then I think you have your answer. Start fresh and enable preset or setting one by one to find which one(s) are the culprit.
Some phones/roms need AudioFX disabled (not necessary to uninstall).
Feel dumb for not doing this before. Seems that the field surround was turned up to 161 although the max is 9.
I still have some problem with the recognition of streaming music but I can live with it.
Also I would love to not have to use Legacy mode since I feel like it worked smoother before I started using it (because it broke). So any tips on that would be great.
Well thanks a lot anyway, you really helped me.
Legacy mode is pretty much required on the latest OS' these days.
Glad you figured things out
I'm looking for the Viper4Android version that could be downloaded under the Magisk modules. I seem to remember that it said 4.4.4.4 (2.5.0.5) zhuhang attached
I'm talking about the older equalizer with the sliders that are nicer to me, I just find them better and easier to set than the new equalizer

ViPER4Android FX

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.
