Funny thing. Installed it just yesterday and it seemed everything was ok. Viper4android is default music enhancement and when I choose audio effects in Spotify it opens Viper window. But I am unable to notice any differencies in sound no matter which options I enable or disable. So it looks like it does not work after all.
I am on rooted Z1C with unlocked bootloader and RomAur 1.2 without any sound enhancement chosen durin Aroma installation.

Is Viper4Android FX working with a rooted G4?

Hello.
after successfully rooting my G4 and installing busybox.. I have also installed V4A. however, after installing the drivers, I can't get them to actually work.. (driver status shows unsupported and abnormal.)
anyone knows if V4A works with the G4? and if so, how did you get it to work?
thanks!

You need to set kernel to permissive. Selinux switcher apps will correct your issue.
I set to permissive installed v4a of viper and used awesome player instead of nu player. Yet changing eq doesnt do anything

TUrn off any EQs that you may have on in your music player.
And if you go into the settings menu > Driver status > What do you see here?
After setting to permissive you should get a different message at the bottom when you access V4A compared to when you didn't have it (If you kept note)
Here is a great guide how to make it work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/to-root-apps-t3165390/post62107040#post62107040
In addition to the above, I had to force enable V4A and switch to FX compatible mode to get Spotify to work. My other apps worked without those changes.
About gave up for months, then it clicked in my mind when i saw a post mention to make sure all other audio apps redirect eq to viper, and if not, change them. Even if you dont use a certain audio player app, change it too.
Problem is, i could not get the lg music app (which i never use) to change the equalizer to viper, it just had it's own default settings, so i ignored it. So i decided to revisit the lg app, and froze the app with link2sd, i also froze the lg video app too, just in case. Rebooted and now viper sees NEON and i can even run without compatibility mode (which did not work consistantly for me) .
I tried all steps to get this to work, not sure what other things are needed for everyone else, but i tried moving viper to system, installed selinuxmodechanger, maybe this can be uninstalled now, i have no idea. I have no plans to fix what isnt broken and find out myself, so just try freezing lg music app for starters.
Hope it works for you, if so, let the community know what steps you had to do!

Hi,
Set AudioWizard to Smart Mode, install V4A, install driver, reboot, go to V4A, switch FX Compatibility Mode to compatible, and reboot again. It should work.

It won't work unless your rooted. If you are rooted, open the app, then open the menu at top right of screen. Go to "FX Compatibility Mode". Select "Compatible", reboot, then it should be working.
If you using stock kernel without permissive rights (no red text in the corner about SEAndroid if you boot your device) it is necessary that you patch v4a with twrp to get it working. I attached the patchfile. But my stock musicplayer and spotify doesn't support v4a. It only works with poweramp for me.

Weird problem with stock music player and Viper4Android.

Hey all.
I have a weird problem with Viper4Android and the stock music player. The stock player does what I need it to, so I'd like to continue using it. However, every time I shut it down, Viper stops working. To get Viper working again, I have to run the "Power & Boost" app in the phone, release some memory, then go back into the music player, and open the EQ, then Viper kicks in again. Is there a way to get Viper to stay on? I've tried the Force start in Viper to no avail, and tried in SuperSU to get Viper to start on Audio. Should I set it to system in SuperSU, or is there another method to get it to start up when I use the music app? It's more annoying than anything, because I can get it to work, but it would be nice if it just kicked in. I've updated Viper to the latest using the "Check for Updates" in Viper, and installed the .apk, but nothing has worked so far.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
So, I've tried a few things, and bricked the phone in the process. Luckily, I was able to sideload the stock firmware back on. What I did was put the V4A app in both the app, and priv-app folders, and the phone bricked. Right now, I have to force stop V4A, then go into the EQ to restart it, before it works. I've used Titanium to freeze MusicEQ, so that's not the problem, and I can't change the permissions on V4A, which is currently installed on the SDCard of the phone.
Okay, so I think I've figured it out on my own. First thing was to delete the stock MusicFX app using Titanium Backup. You could probably freeze it, but I deleted it. Anyways, the problem lied where you disconnect and reconnect the headphones. So, to remedy this, set it to force app on V4A, and set V4A to compatible mode, and reboot the phone. Now, no matter how many times I disconnect the headphones and reconnect them, V4A works right away, without having to go into the Apps setting and force stopping it. Hope that helps someone with similar problems.
Dont use the Stock Music Player's EQ. or disable audio wizard. ( read that somwhere in the forums)

A320FL viper4android

Hello, anybody successfully installed viper4android on A320FL? I am not begginer (using xposed and a lot of other apps needed root), but I can't install it fine. I tried normal install, install through twrp, freeze knox apps (with titanium backup), etc.. After first launch app I install drivers (successfully), but in drivers stats it's off.. Just not working, guys I really want viper4android, please help and sorry for english .
Edit. I using newest stock firmware with recovery and root + some features like xposed, etc..
It installed fine for me and driver status reports positive but its not working. With Spotify the sound drops for like two seconds when seeking like its trying to initiate the sound engine and then crashing and reverting to default. Id like to know how you got xposed to work though!
Got it working!
I used V4A Enforcing patch from this post for the A5 2016 and it works for me (stock rooted Android 6, TWRP) and i also got xposed working (thread here). Unfortunately V4A kicks in very late so there is an annoying dip when scrubbing in Spotify. Maybe this will improve when there are solid AOSP roms
