Viper4Android (lolliviper) - Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that some have already been able to install this on their rooted Pixel C. There seems to be several versions on the internet that have been tailored for different devices.
If you have V4A working on your Pixel C, please post a link to the file that you are using. Thank you.

XPosed and the Pixel C

Hi guys,
2 Questions about XPosed:
1) Does it run normally on the common factory images?
2) Is there any version that also runs on the N developer Preview?
Thanks for your replies!
1. Works fine on MM for me, though I only use gravity box
2. I don't think so. Sorry.
I am on current stock MM for last 3 versions, I follow the rooting guide then install xposed works fine.
I not touched N yet
There´s no xposed framework for Android N available yet.
Hi mate,
As I can read in the forums Xposed is working properly on Pixel C, you have a bit more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/general/list-android-mods-recoveries-mods-pixel-t3291934 and no Xposed for Android N yet, too soon for that imho.
Also if you want to try Xposed, you have the official link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
We should download the SDK23 arm64 for 6.0.1 and our Pixel C: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/
I try Xposed myslef after work.
Hope this help you a bit.
Hi again mates,
Xposed is installed and working flawlessly, atm I only install the following modules:
ChromePie-Test in progress
GravityBox-OK
YouTube AdAway_OK
YouTube Background Playback-OK
What modules are you using guys?

Google has just updated the play store, there is a topic on here with the commands you need to execute via adb or command prompt in order to get magisk working properly, but seems you already did that, what version of magisk and magisk manager are you using

I've tried it multiple times, even rebooting in between
The Pixel doesn't use the official version of Magisk so any instructions for how to get the official version working might not apply on the Pixel. For a while if you enabled core only mode in the unofficial version the Pixel would still pass Safety Net even though the official version had stopped working. I have no idea if this workaround still works or not since I went back to stock but if you haven't tried it yet its certainly worth a try. Since the official link for the unofficial Pixel version of Magisk is hosted in the Resurrection Remix rom thread and discussion of Magisk issues frequently goes on there as well you might want to check the later posts in the rom thread and see if there is updated info regarding unofficial Magisk.

Resurrection Remix is a custom rom but there is no need to install it to use Unofficial Magisk. That's just where the official download link is hosted, probably because the dev has some link to that particular rom. But Unofficial Magisk is not included or integrated in any way into that rom--Magisk is downloaded and flashed separately from the rom and should work the same on that rom, a different custom rom or stock.

As a side note there's nothing wrong with Resurrection Remix but if you did want to give a custom Rom a try I would personally recommend Dirty Unicorns or Screwed. They aren't hosted on XDA but don't let that bother you. A quick Google search will turn up where they are officially hosted and in my personal experience they are easily the best custom Roms available for the Pixel. That said, I went back to stock so I could try Android O and have stayed on stock so far.

That's true but it's probably temporary. The devs have been notified of that bug and they are usually pretty responsive. I could actually see Google changing their code to deny the unlimited original photo backup to Pixels that are altered--i.e. unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery or custom rom since Google has made it pretty clear they don't want people doing these things on the Pixel, but I haven't read anything that indicates Google has done this. But don't be surprised if they do it in the future.

I feel like the roms where it is working is just a matter of something NOT being changed in them and needing to find the delta but I agree I wouldn't be surprised if they look the stance of purposefully not allowing modded devices.

I'm not a programmer and can't say for sure but you might be right. I think the devs at Screwed (if I remember correctly) are the ones who say they create as lean of a rom as possible by removing useless code. They might have removed something they shouldn't have. It's still an excellent rom but that is a serious bug for people who rely on the photo at full quality backup feature and take a lot of pics.

xposed now working on tab s3

A modified xposed installer and framework for nougat is now available thanks to the Purify os team and rovo
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-nougat-sdk-25-arm64-t3639221
Follow the link above.
1. Make backups, twrp/titanium
2. Install the modified xposed installer first, must be done first!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=13191#downloads
Use the top one on the list it may get updated
3. Next download the modified xposed framework from Purify here
http://fastkit.org/xposed/
Follow the links.... SDK24 for nougat 7.0..... Then download the xposed version 87 model... Flash from twrp
Again make sure you fully back up, it all went fine for me, but sometimes these things don't go right.
Plenty of posts in the linked forum but a bit of a jumble as usual, all with varied results, but the above will work for us.
Not sure how many modules are usable yet, I have one working so I know it does work.
Which are you using, and what would you like to use?

Not something I would normally do, is there a particular module you use for that?
It's been such a long time since I came across this, being able to adjust screen ratio and dpi on a per app basis. No real reason to now but with the 4:3 ratio on this tab, it'll be nice.
Also, been a while since I've used xbosed

I have been using it without problem for a while, but the versions used are crucial to success, I couldn't get the magisk systemless to work. Try going back to the beginning and make sure each download is correct, the method in the first post will work.

Get it work with super su but installed OBBonSD does not work (with GTA, KotoR,...). Do you have any idea?
EDIT: Found a solution with http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.xinternalsd
I have followed the directions exactly and I tried twice to install xposed on my t825 rooted with magisk 14. No luck unfortunately. Has anybody been successful in installing it ??
If yes, could he share the methodology ?

had the same problem.. remove magisk and install superSU.. xposed do not work with magisk -.-' on this tablet..
Question, how do I remove xposed again?
Can I do it with the installer app, or do I need a special skript? Never used Xposed on Samsung before and I know everything works differently.
Hello,
Your experience : Do you have a "" Tab S3 SM-T825, Nougat 7.0, Root SuperSU "" on which you have installed Xposed.
1- Does Xposed work normally with different modules?
(No Bootloop or tablet block?)
2 - Which version xposed * .zip ?
3 - Which Version XposedInstaller _ *. Apk ?
Thank you
Cordially

Fairly old thread this, I have a T820, however I've made roms for both variants, the t825 thread is here,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s3/development/rom-sm-t825-tweaked-t3769742
the earlier versions are nougat the latest 3.0 on are oreo both work fine, you'll find instructions in the thread, if changing to oreo you need to flash the oreo bootloader, through odin, if returning to nougat you need to flash the older nougat bootloader as they're not cross compatible.
Xposed works fine on both, xposed installer included after booting, start the xposed installer app and select install it picks the correct version.
Root is by magisk.

Hello Rorymc
Thanks for the answer and for the link SM-T825 TWEAKED, but I'm already Root with SuperSU + Dm-Verity with Rom ARA2 Nougat 7.0 and I just have to flash Xposed with TWRP.
So, I think I have to take Xposed.zip and Xposedinstaller APK from rovo89 in pure version without add and unmodified ?
I hope I'm not mistaken .....

Yes that's correct, just make sure you get the correct versions, if anything goes wrong just restore your backup.

Getting Viper4android (4 magisk) to work ^^

Well I've been trying hardly to get the regular magisk viper4android to work, didn't work.
Seems y'all need to use the legacy version from the magisk installer to get it to work until the devs are solving the problem.
It's because of the separation of USB I guess.
If someone needs further assistance or advices feel free to comment!
I don't have my phone yet but last I heard magisk was not the way to get a working v4a for anyone. the last working version I had came from an apk install of version 2.7.1.0

Has anyone gotten Viper 4 Android to work with the pixel 6 pro yet? If not, are there alternatives? Any guides to doing this would be appreciated! I searched but didn't find much.
Android 12 (Viper4Android)
Has anyone managed to get Viper4Android working on the latest beta of Android 12? The usual methods don't work (makes sense, since its a new OS). Just curious. I like Android 12 so far, but might roll back to 11 if I can't get Viper going...

It works great for me in apps like AIMP, but in apps like YouTubeVanced have never worked for me.

Thanks to the community, the Viper4android works for me on Pixe6 PRO, BUT I am unable to activate any VIPER-DDC , Headset correction profiles loading takes no effect, tried a few I see them active but no change in sound. Previously my OnePlus 8Pro worked fine with the same version (Android 12). Does anyone experience similar issue ? Can you please try and let me know.

I don't have answer for your question, perhaps go to their Telegram group to ask for help as you may have more chance there.
I do have something for your consideration. I used V4A for longer than I can remember but it must be over 10 years. However, seems the developer has already quitted the project for quite sometime, the driver has never been updated in the past 7-8 years, we are lucky that it is still working with A12. But everything has an end, I tried it on A13 Beta and it doesn't work with it. If you search the web, you properly going to find that so far no one is able to make it work with A13. The A13 is already in beta 4 and official release could be sometime in next month, unless you are going to give up to update to A13, you better start to find something to replace V4A, my choice is JamesDSP but you may find something better suit your needs.
I prefer presets because I don't know what I'm doing. I ended up moving to PowerAmp and am usually pleased with the sound. If only the developer would enable roor features, man that would be cool.
Thanks acwcanada for the suggestion. I looked at the thread and so far may stick with Android 12 (those crazy audiophiles ) because I could not find 2 key features available in Viper4Android.
1. Headphone frequency response correction (VIPER-DDC or AutoEQ in Wavelet). This feature does not even work for me in Pixel 6 pro A12L , workaround: install wavelet and use its AutoEQ feature.
2. Dynamic System feature of Viper4Android creates bass subharmonics using reference frequencies and algorithm (selectable by choosing headphone type), so it can inject them in the music making it feel much richer and restores lack of low frequencies without "booming" effect created by other bass boosters. So far nothing in this word can beat this Viper4Andoid's feature.
Some good news folks: Viper4Android and Wavelet can be stacked and work in tandem .
Perhaps going to write James to consider the above, unless I missed it.
Cheers and thanks Team !
