Viper4android on Note 8 - it's worth installing ?

[elano]

I had note 3 with viper4android. The sound was great.
When I bought Note 8 first impression that the sound processor has no ... power and with loud music distorts sound.
I am asking for an opinion - is it worth installing Viper4android on Note 8? There is a big difference in sound compared to stock.

Yes. major difference

Hi folks....got my Note 8 all rooted and working on the customizing and such. Of course one of the key reasons for root is for ViperFX which I've used for years and love!

I had no problems installing Viper by following the instructions in some other thread in spite of Flash Fire no longer working...all the buttons work and such...at least so it seems.

It's certainly louder and maybe clearer...but I can't definitely tell if it's on or off!!...Does one turn it on or off via that Master Power switch within it? Is it permanently on?

Thanks for the help

I just installed Viper4Android along with Dolby. Sound is definitely far louder and better.

However, with my high end earphones, I am unable to get decent sound.

Can you gurus please share your Viper4Android ''heatset'' settings? Thanks1!

I would rather look for IRS or convolvers, there are plenty of them, you surely will find one of your liking

Do you mean speaker is louder (not earpiece)? I tried V4A by itself and it made marginal difference

I just couldn't get v4A to work at all. Kept saying drivers not installed.

I just modified the mixer_gains.xml to change the headphone volume and now they are super loud and perfectly clear. V4A not required at all

I had issues at first getting Viper4Android working. Are you rooted with SuperSU or Magisk? If possible, root using Magisk as it is far easier to get Viper4Android to work.

Using Magisk, download and install the Viper4Android module, activate and reboot. Job done.

I do have Magisk and TWRP installed but it just wouldn't work.

You guys can try my profile if you want, just put the items in the correct folders and load it up

It has the perfect balance of what I like

P.S the convolved is optional, for me it just makes it sound a little bit more clearer by using the original sound driver
