i try to change permission but it still ask for driver install after a reboot :(
Post screenshots so we can help determine the problem. If you follow my directions it'll work fine. I had the same problem until I uninstalled all instances of viper first. Don't install it just place the file in the system/priv-app. Then follow directions. I'm using stericson busybox 1.23.1 installed to /system/bin

what did you change permissions to, and, what did you use to change them?
did you check after changing them that your changes stuck?
did you reboot after changing them, and confirm they were correct?
yes, i use solid explorer to change permissions and they do change even after a reboot, but v4A still doesn't work. it always ask me for driver install every time

i tried on my last GS4 and GN3 but none of them ever worked.

i cannot post screenshot because i'm a new member and i didn't yet reach 10 posts

EDIT:
Driver version: 0.0.0.0
NEON Enabled: No
Enabled: No
Status: Abnormal
Audio Format: Unsupported
Processing: No
Sampling rate: 0

I'm also using stericson's Busybox pro 1.23.1 installed to System/bin, solid explorer pro to use for root explorer, titanium backup to freeze Soundalive and adaptsound, and the last version of viper4android FX 2.3.4.0. what else did i mistake?

your permissions should not change after a reboot; once you change them, and they stick, they should always stay that way..
what are you changing them to, in both Viper.apk, and in audio.effect.config?
what directories did you put both the Viper.apk file in and the audio.effect.config?

Did you create a directory called Viper4Android in the priv-app folder?
Its not in there by default, you have to create that folder, and put the Viper.apk file in there..

they didn't change, they stick to 06-4-4 for the audio.effect.conf and 0-7-5-5 for the viper.apk

yes i've create a directory named ViPER4ANDROID_FX_A4.x in the /system/priv-app directory and put in the viper4android.apk

i've placed the audio.effect conf in system/etc and system/vendor. what else?

change the name of the directory you put Viper.apk in to this, exact name, with these exact letters..
Viper4Android
reboot and try that

EDIT: Plus, you don't have the audio.effect.config in the right places...
System/etc/" and "/vendor/etc/" is where that belongs

i've got them in the right places, but yes, i tried to re copy and tried again, renaming the directory by the one you said "viper4android", but it's still asking for install after reboot. what the heck is wrong with my phone :confused:

I can't get your profile to load, it just says "LOAD EFFECT PRODILE"

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jon

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

found on google

Where could I find that modded Pandora

Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
I just typed in "Pandora unlimited skips apk" in google and the version i'm using is 5.8, every so often it will stop working and ill have to download a newer version. The only thing I used this app for was the bass boost... I set it to the highest I think 17dB, my Bluetooth beats earbuds sound alright, but on a good note I bought a pair of Skullcandy Crusher headphones that have a built in amp that takes 1 AA battery that have a ton of bass.

Guys, for me it works, but sometimes (quite often) during playback, the v4a processing stops working for a while, then eventually restarts to work by itself. Permissions are well, everything is installed... any idea why it does that? I am on the latest VN rom with an s6 edge international variant.
Its really weird to listen to my own sound profile, then it switches to off, then after a while it comes back on...

This works great all except for one thing. I like to use music visualizers and after installing this it causes them not to work anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it. I assume it has to do with the audio_effects.conf file.

Peuf did you uninstall all the other version like I said before? Uninstall the previous versions you've had and then do like I said. It works...you most likely installed it and now its looking in the wrong directory.

I have Viper4Android all installed and for the most part it works great! You can definitely tell a difference. I just have one issue and I searched the thread and saw it was asked a few times, but no anwser. Has anyone gotten "Convolver" setting to work? I have lots of IRS files, but can't get any one them to change the way the music sounds.

you have to place them in the proper directory, and then, in the convolver setting, you have to choose one of them..
