FYI: Viper4Android DOES WORK

[tribalartgod]

You just need to use the "Sony Beats Edition 5.5" to make it work. This version is a flashable zip and has the driver prepackaged.

It can be found in this thread:

And here is the direct download link:

Are you getting headset and speaker processing as well? I've flashed stock and rooted fresh then installed BusyBox and flashed the 5.5 Beats zip 3 or 4 times now and it outright refuses to process anything besides Bluetooth. I'm also on the H830 and I'm at my wits end as to why everyone else is able to get this working besides me.

Yes, all aspects of this are working fine for me. Bluetooth, Headset, and Phone Speaker... All functioning as they should... I doubt this will make any difference, but grab the zip I saved (and used) on my phone, from the Toy Box... It's in the "Apps (Root)" folder.

If this method wont work,I have another.
1. Just flash clean System partition to get rid of v4a sony.
2. Download v4a apk and install.
3. Install driver if needed.
4. Install Busybox.
5. Install Selinuxchanger and change it to permissive.
6. You are ready to use Viper4Android on the G5

I've tried selinuxchanger but when it opens up and I grant it root access it tells me it wasn't able to get root access and leaves the options greyed out.

I'm in the middle of another fresh root flash, I'll give it a shot and report back in a bit.

You have to get Root on your Phone first and then try my other steps if Threat Tutorial wont work.

No luck. Wiped and flashed stock tot, flashed TWRP tot, formatted to remove encryption, wiped again just in case, formatted a second time, wiped again just to be sure, formatted a third time, flashed SuperSU, flashed dmverity, flashed V4A, granted storage permission for V4A, installed Busybox, opened the app, driver is normal and audio is supported, but it's not processing headset or speaker. Bluetooth is fine. SELinuxmodechanger is still being granted root access but refusing to acknowledge it.

Am I missing a step installing SuperSU? Should I forego the dmverity zip? Should I install Busybox to a different location? I've tried installing to su/xbin and system/xbin. Does the stock H830 kernel support permissive? How would I go about changing it? Kernel Adiutor has a plugin to change to permissive but it doesn't stick. It takes the su shell command to change it, but I can't confirm it in the phone settings.

Try another method to Install V4A. The method with flashing even didnt worked for me

Why are you using a permission changer? And why are you installing the stock TOT before the root TOT?

Here's what I did:
Rooted device (did not use stock TOT, went straight to the rooted TOT)
Reboot Recovery
Flash DM Verify
Flash SuperSU
Reboot System
Reboot Recovery
Make Backup
Flash Xposed
Install BusyBox
Flash V4A
Reboot System... All worked fine... To be fair, I did not mention I had BusyBox installed above... That "might" be the determining factor here? I'm currently making a backup of just my system partition... If you want to try it, I will upload it for you later tonight after I am done with work. It's 3.9Gigs. - If you decide to, make sure you have a backup of your own first. I am not liable for broken stuffs.

Because I'm grasping at straws.

I followed the your order, I'm still just getting bluetooth processing. I'm willing to try out your system partition, I figure there's not much left to lose at this point. If that doesn't work, I'll concede defeat and wait until the B&O module makes its way over.

I messaged you the /system backup. I hope this works for you... Let us know plz

Hey sorry to bump this fairly old thread but I'm having problems getting Viper to work on mine too. Bluetooth only works. I installed the 5.5 beats one too but nothing... Did you ever get it to work??

Thanks.

Busybox installed and selinux mode set to permissive?
You could try this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-viper4android-universal-fixer-fix-t3360192

Guys I have installed the dolby atmos version and ran a fix, it works on everything (speaker, headset, spotify..). But still not perfect, I believe an app is interferring with v4a, almost every time I need to do a phone restart before I start playing music, but then it works for hours...
