[Guide] Viper4Android on Nougat/Oreo [TW & AOSP]

V4A on Nougat/Oreo


Before starting:


-Make sure you have TWRP!

-Viper4android doesn't seem to work on certain roms, but there should be no problem with the more popular ones and it also works on all AOSP roms.

-Always have a nandroid backup, in case something goes wrong or you just want to uninstall viper4android!



How to install?


1. Download audio_effects.conf file and with a root explorer replace the one in /system/etc

2. Uninstall or Freeze "Sound Alive" (for AOSP "MusicFX") with Titanium Backup.

3. If you have magisk, flash Viper4Android Magisk in recovery. For supersu use regular Viper4Android zip.

(When it asks to install the driver, then just wait.
If seems to be frozen just don't touch it and let it do it's job.)



Enjoy!

Hi Guys,

I've tried everything and can't get the driver to load under N.
Driver shows up as "abnormal" after a reboot.

I'm using on the edge 5 rom, I was on 3/4 before and was having the same issues.

Any pointers would be awesome.

Had the same issue then I just flashed these two zips with twrp and all works fine.

Is there any way to get arise sound system work in nougat??

I personally haven't used arise on my s7, but I believe the procedure should be the same ( edit audioeffects.conf, freeze sound alive etc.)

Whats the install procedure on marshmallow ?

Whats the install procedure on marshmallow ?

If you don't have Sound Alive on your rom then just flashing the Viper4android zip should do the trick.
But if you have the annoying Sound Alive, then the procedure is exactly the same, but then flash this zip.
