@guitardedhero ... your my last hope. I had viper4android (i think setup not sure as i did it a long time ago on my s8+ and it was simply amazing) but since it was setup i had to reset my phone. I thought i had the same files and redid my s8+, however the audio is was sub par then what i had it as. I just turned on the volume and it was super loud. Not sure what id did right then or wrong now ... any help would be amazing. Anyway you can offer advice? I know its a huge as as we all have RL going on, hell im in the process of packing and moving.

So now what is the issue your not able to get super loud. I didn't understand that's why I am asking.
yes plus there "seems" to be no major difference with ViPER4Arise master power on or off. there is a slight change in volume for the speaker, NO difference with my air pods and the car audio ( BT ). i am at a lose i follwed all the directions for my S8+ and im stumped at this point.
Ok can you check what is the driver status is displayed in V4A.
Also check the Selinux is Permissive or enforced. Some trouble is there when it's enforced u may have to change it to Permissive .
And also there is a new way too, u can use Magisk and install V4A and does even worry abt configs.
An update is in the works. :good:
@ gh thanks for the work and sharing.
is this kk compatible or still use kk link in OP?
Sony Xperia 5 zip not booting bro..
And viper atoms 0.2 it's booting.. But when I close the recent app (v4a) suddenly the effect was turned off.. And app layout was not fit on ma device (op7pro)

@guitardedhero flashed redux recently .
Everytime V4A asks me to install a driver I do and then reboot. But then when I click the app it says i need to install so I do it again. Then when I open the app it says it again.

Not on Lollipop or Marshmallow?
Here is the link to my AndroidFileHost JB & KK folder:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48267
Features:
5.x uses ViPER4Android 2.4.0.1 with its driver preinstalled
4.x uses ViPER4Android 2.3.4.0 with its Super Quality driver preinstalled
Dark Material theme
Works in Permissive and Enforcing Selinux
Works with no root as long as a Permissive kernel is installed
Installed in /system/priv-app
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
Sony™ and Beats™ libraries and effects (No apk's or settings to look for!)
Library & Effect entries in /system/ect/audio_effects.conf, /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf, /vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf, and /system/etc/htc_audio_effects.conf
Five custom audio_effects.conf files for the Sony™ Beats™ Editions
Deep Buffer removal from /system/etc/audio_policy.conf
Backup script to survive rom updates
Official ViPER Packages
ViPER|Audio™ is for those only wanting ViPER processing. There is also a Stock version that has no additional files or effects for those seeking a pure "vanilla" ViPER4Android installation.
ViPER|Atmos™ includes @worstenbrood's Dolby Atmos™ found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446, fully functional in Enforcing. There is also a Stock version without the additional effects for a pure "vanilla" ViPER|Atmos™ experience.
ViPER|DD+™ includes Dolby Digital Plus™ courtesy of @aki_007 which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/audio-mod-dolby-digital-plus-universal-t3078802 and is the perfect solution for those experiencing issues with the Dolby Atmos™ app. Both are fantastic and extremely similar in sound and identical in setup. This is certainly not a downgraded ViPER|Atmos™ but just another available option for the user. Dolby Digital Plus™ requires a Permissive Selinux environment so packages including DD+™ also include a Permissive script during the installation to avoid any issues after the installation. There is also a stock version with no additional effects.
These three versions provide the ultimate compatibility across all devices in your quest for the ultimate experience in seamless sound enhancement.
!! Versions not described above are just for fun !!
!! Make sure /system has 50mb+ of available free space !!
!! If it is necessary for you to run Cyanogenmod 13 with its own SuperUser you must change Selinux from Enforcing Strict to Permissive as SuperSU is required for processing in Enforcing !!
Installation:
Boot to recovery
Wipe > Advanced > Dalvik Cache, Cache
Install > ViPER|Audio™ OR ViPER|Atmos™ OR ViPER|DD+™
Reboot
!! Be sure to enable Storage Permissions for ViPER4Android through its App Info page !!
Open v4a
Menu > Show Notification (block if desired by long pressing notification)
Menu > UI Setting > Expert
Menu > Save Effect Profile > New Effect Profile > "Stock" (this will help you find your working v4a directory)
Begin playing audio file
Open v4a
Uncheck Enable v4a
Check Enable v4a
If you experience problems with the normal installation instructions, the awesome @dr.ketan has allowed me to link his Viper Fix 1.1.apk which will essentially disable all other effects from your system by eliminating their libraries from your audio_effects.conf using v4a instead. Flash this apk as a normal user app, open, reboot when prompted, boot to recovery and flash your desired ViPER package. You can find info and support as well as the apk at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61858278&postcount=3079
and

It is possible your /system is dirty enough to require at least a System wipe in TWRP and a dirty flash of your current rom before flashing ViPER|Audio™ if you experience any Force Closes or any other signs of an incomplete/failed installation.
!! Do NOT delete /system/priv-app/MusicFX !!
In initial testing I found that I had to move MusicFX back to get ViPER working and I haven't removed it since. I do disable it and recommend doing the same if it's not working "out of the box".
!! Audiophile™ Profile zip is NOT flashable !!
Extract both folders in zip into the following two directories:
Code:/data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android
and
Code:/storage/emulated/0/ViPER4Android
Uninstallation and Removal:
The best and easiest way to remove this and any other /system mod from your device is to dirty flash your rom after wiping System in TWRP. Before you begin, make sure you have a compatible rom zip on your internal storage as an OS will need to be installed. As long as you do not Factory Reset or check Data or Internal Storage, your data will be left intact but with a fresh /system partition.
Verify compatible rom zip is on device
Boot to recovery

When combined with ViPER running my Audiophile™ profile, optimal results can be achieved using the following settings in Dolby Atmos™ or Dolby Digital Plus™:
Music profile
EQ Preset > Open (Flat to tame bass if needed)
Surround Virtualizer > Off
Dialog Enhancer > On
Volume Leveler > Off or On
The resulting sound is absolutely massive!

Sony™ Beats™ Editions
The Xperia™ Z5 Premium Marshmallow audio system and the M7 Beats™ files shared by @androidexpert35 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-htc-beats-audio-beats-xperience-t3281603, compliment ViPER|Audio™, ViPER|Atmos™, and ViPERDD+™ amazingly well. I was surprised how they fit in so seamlessly, adding a very welcomed and natural bass boost while retaining the Audiophile™ clarity. My favorite combination, by far.

Some of your IRS files not active when loaded?
A discovery I made a long time ago that is still largely unknown:
For this to work ViPER4Android™ MUST be uninstalled from /data if applicable.
If ViPER4Android™ still shows in App Drawer after dirty flashing your rom (while you're checking for free /system space and BusyBox
) then uninstall from App Drawer or delete /data/app/com.vipercn.viper4android_v2-1.
After flashing ViPER|Atmos™ or ViPER|Audio™, setting everything up, and confirming everything is functioning, extract the ViPER zip.
Tap on the apk in the extracted location to "install an update to this built-in application."
Tap Open and dismiss the only instance of "ViPER4Android has stopped" that you will see.
ViPER is now installed in /system and /data allowing you to enjoy every IRS in your collection.
In a situation where you could really use all the settings available to other outputs while processing through Speaker tab in ViPER4Android™?Swipe over to output tab with the settings you seek to use.
Menu > Lock Effect Mode
Now, this locked output tab will be the only settings used while processing audio. Remember to unlock effect mode if this is only for certain scenarios when done.
Audio Focus causing processing issues?I haven't had an opportunity to devote enough time testing audio_policy.conf edits but here's a couple that seem to help with no processing after audio interruptions:
Open /system/etc/audio_policy.conf in text editor
Add 44100 to voice_rx
Add 48000 to a2dp
Save changes
Reboot
Do this only if you experience no processing after a notification or voice call when ViPER4Android™ was processing immediately before the audio focus.
Experiencing audio disturbances while using a custom kernel? Our friend @Woody explains: Back in the day, when Viper4Android started, it only worked on JellyBean 4.1 ROMs. This was when it was new and the iterations were just as fast as they are in this thread. Everything was finally figured out once Viper got to version 2.3.3.0 and then finally 2.3.4.0. Just about the same time that the final version of Viper was completed, KitKat came around with it's new experimental run time called ART. At that time, you could choose between either ART or the traditional Dalvik runtimes. But that choice came with a word of caution-"ART might not work with certain apks." At the same time, the Linux kernel was updated.
So now you have a SoundMOD that was reasonably perfected (and unfortunately abandoned as there has been no update since), a new Android OS and an updated Linux kernel that all needed to work together. Not saying that v4a was instrumental in a change of general ideology, but with so many people using it, many preferred sounds quality over battery quality. Let's not get all high and mighty on the Viper Is King train, as it was not the first to do what it does. If you've been around Android since Froyo/GB times, but more specifically the Galaxy S1/2 series, you should remember Supercurio's VoodDoo Sound Control. For the time, it blew anything away that was available and had a GUI apk that you could tweak. That was then, this is now; but really still talking in the KK days.
Since the sound mod was the greatest thing to headphones since aluminum, people wanted it to work on their custom ROMs/Kernels. In comes faux123 and his tweaks to his kernels that allowed for ramdisk injections of audio patches (generally AnyPatch kernels are what you will mostly find as it uses the "stock" ramdisk as a foundation). So if you ran a kernel during the middle 2013 to 2014, most had the Faux sound patch, as it allowed for peak sound for the device through the use of a custom kernel (this is why most kernels now days have a sound section in their .conf files or GUI). It lasted forever and is still being incorporated in custom kernels to this day (check your Kernel Thread OPs/GITs). Since kernel devs are few and far between, they tend to either work closely together, cherry pick commits or try depart themselves from each other.
Android moves to Lollipop and ART is no longer optional, like in the previous KitKat. LP also introduced 2 kernel toolchain updates over it's lifetime. This caused kernel devs to tweak their setups and Governors. There were still the usual suspects like Interactive, On-Demand, Performance and Conservative, as well as all their derivatives. At this point sound mods were still working mainly because of the Faux sound and/or Franco patches were being included in most kernels and being built from AnyPatch kept that possible. Viper4Android worked as advertised, even after the /system folder structure had also changed).
Now comes MarshMallow. Again with another folder structure change and the adaptation of custom recoveries to be able to properly wipe them. Ever wonder why you can't find your Profile and Kernel folders when you dirty flash? I figured it out shortly after MM came out. The thing was, with the new OS, something in the kernel changed and now my trusted Interactive governor was creating popping and cracking sounds. I actually posted (should read the few posts after mine as well. They talk about Faux's sound too and my realization that On-Demand removes the popping and cracking) in this thread about it when it was under previous management by kah-el. Here are my final findings regarding using On-Demand over Interactive.
So what does this all mean? It means that if you have popping and cracking, you should switch your kernel governor to On-Demand or one of it's derivatives. Some other culprits can be if you are running a Permissive or Enforcing kernel and/or ROM. If you don't know if you are or not, open a terminal and type (without the quotes) "su" [ENTER] "setenforce" [ENTER] and see which number it puts out. 0=Permissive; 1=Enforcing. You can change this without the SELinuxpolicy changer apk by using the commands above. Some kernels, such as ElemetalX, have a radio button that you can tick at installation to have it as Enforcing or Permissive. Even though the latest zips from OP are getting more directed to being able to be used with Enforcing, it would be good for you to know what yours is. I run Permissive and will for the foreseeable future (Google it to find out why). You also need to check your gain strength and if it is set too high. Louder doesn't mean cleaner.
On-Demand isn't for everyone, but we have to find out why the Interactive governor ramps up the frequencies too fast and the audio portion of the kernel effects the output of Viper. This is something that a new kernel dev upstart could really make his mark in the Android custom kernel/sound mod world. *Hint*Hint* Until then, I don't mind On-Demand and SIO (I used to use Deadline but started to get RRs, though those were probably self-inflicted).
