Install viper4A on stock?

[Mighty_X]

Yesterday i rooted my Erisin with kingo and then i wanted to flash Viper4Android. In the Standard Recovery i saw that there is no Option to flash a zip file... So how did you guys do it?

 

[dedafmonteur]

Why flash ot and not just install it and grant it root acces and hotboot it? When u install it you can let it boot up when device boots.

I did not know there was a (apk-like) install version of v4a. I'll have a look into it

do you need Viper if you have a DSP?

Mighty_x, can you please tell me how did you root your erisin unit? I am getting mad trying to do so just for installing viper4a like you did.

Regards!

Hey. It only worked with kingo root. (not king root)
There is a viper4android app and no need to flash the mod like I was used to. But actually I don't use it anymore after installing latest custom Rom because of the pumped sound in the system. Together with v4a its too much..

When I tryed to root with Kingoroot, APK Installer finished with a message like "Application not installed", and the unit is not rooted
Did you used the stock "APK Installer" or used another one?
I've red that Viper4Android needs a rooted device to do successfully its job.
I appreciate sincerely your opinion about the sound obtained with Viper4Android, but I need to test it

Kind regards!

I used the apk found here: http://de.kingoapp.com/
And I used the stock installer. Viper needs root, yes. Maybe redownload the apk?

Thank you Mithy_X, the problem was that, when the apk installer warns you about all the risks that has installing Kingoroot, you have to unfold the warning message and click on the hyperlink at the end of the text instead of clicking on the acceptance button of the window.
By the way, I have to disagree with you about the sound quality obtained with Viper4Android. If you adjust a flat equalization on the stock equalizer, and adjust correctly the Viper4Android controls, the sound enhances greatly. Not only the bass are deeper, but the highs are more brights, vocals more clean, and in general, the sound improve. You have to check the control about forcing V4A in all applications, just because, if not, sound player does not use it.

Regards!

I completely agree with you. I always use V4A...that's the main reason I bought a car android device in first place
You can also try to use the high quality IRS (Impulse Response Samples) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439254. It improves the sound quality a lot.

Wou, Devilsoft!!!! THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know about this irs filters for the convolver function. I really appreciate your advice!!!!
I'm a fanatic of the music and excellence in sound quality, having all my music in LP and in FLAC format. I know for sure that will enjoy this add-on.
By the way... Any good flac player? I've tried Player Pro and it really makes difference.

Kind regards!

Devilsoft, one question... Is there something to do for the convolver function to work properly? I have installed the IRS filters, activated the function and selected different filters, but I cannot appreciate difference... the rest of functions work very fine: Equalizer, Loudness, Rever... All but Convolver, that seems to do nothing...

Regards,

Just found the problem.. It was due to I didn't put the IRS files right into kernel folder, but in a subfolder into it. What I don't understand is why they appear in the list of convolver filters although being in a subfolder, but then don't use them. Once the filters are in the kernel folder, they not only appear in the list, but they are used too.
The filters are fantastic. If you use the one you like, it is almost unnecessary to activate the equalizer, just only the rever to colourize a little the sound and perhaps the Loudness.

Sorry for not specifying that the files needs to go to that subfolder.
I also use only IRS and some clarity with XiFi setting and 3.5DB selected. The IRS, i preffer "Traks Compression 2" and "Waves Headphones".
Also, try to lock it to Bluetooth or USB DOCK and switch to Advanced on Viper4Android. Once you'll do that, you will unleash the true power of Viper4Android. You will not be dissapointed
About FLAC playback, I only use PowerAmp, with all Equalizers disabled (EQ and Tone) and Settings -> Audio -> Advanced Tweaks -> Direct Volume Control (to be unchecked).
