Anyone get V4A to work with Nougat and Magisk? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

Hi y'all, first off I have the G920P, just recently upgraded to Nougat QC7 stock ROM, modified and running the SkyHigh kernel v5.01 with Magisk v12. Everything runs pretty smooth, even got Liveboot working successfully (there's a reason I mention Liveboot.) Now I decided to try to get Viper4Android to work. Of course, installing the standard apk fails when it comes to installing the driver. So I tried the V4A Magisk module and it installed fine, however on reboot, my Liveboot no longer works and when opening the V4A app it asks to install the driver, I hit yes and it says it successfully installed and to please reboot. I reboot and of course Liveboot still doesn't show, but otherwise it boots fine. Once I re-open the V4A app it is asking me to install the driver yet again, and the whole system at times seems a bit unstable until I disable the V4A module in Magisk Manager. Does anyone have any ideas, or has anyone gotten this to successfully work? If so I'd love a suggestion lol. I really would like to keep my Liveboot working, but I'd kinda like to get Viper working too. Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions, ideas, etc.

I could not get the V4A module to install under Magisk 12; however, it works just fine with Magisk 13.
This is the version that I used: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120735287
Magisk Uninstaller (should not be needed, but if you want it) is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120735289
NOTE: You are, I believe using the @tdhite kernel, which is based in Magisk 12. Not sure what the impact of installing Magisk 13 will be.

The kernel is fine with Magisk v13 (beta, to be sure is all that is released there). Magisk v13 beta still has problems, so beware. The SkyHigh kernel and module are v13 compatible as much as v12, just so you know. The reason v12 is packaged in is v12 is the only stable Magisk version at this point.
The bigger issue is Magisk v13 beta working stably and reliably, but if you are willing to debug its failures, it's ok. There should be no need to uninstall to upgrade if you want to play. Reloading the kernel flash will cleanly load up v12 if all goes badly.

@koop1955 Thank you for that information! I will bookmark those so I can get back to them once v13 is reliable and stable enough for my kernel
@tdhite Thanks bud as Well! I think I will just stay where I am until the kernel and v13 play nicely. Just got this thing as perfect as I can for now, well other than ram use creeping up, but that's only every now and then, and for another topic. I *might* get my nandroid current and play a little if I get bored and want to tinker. I guess I can safely assume then the reason Liveboot stops working with the V4A module installed is because of Magisk v12...?
Thank you to both of you guys for the help and advice. At least now I know it's not some dumb issue with my device lol.

@digitalchaos1980 and @tdhite, I have had a good experience with one particular version of Magisk 13, which is why I added it to my AFH. Other and newer versions...not so much. To be expected with a work in progress.
At some point, Magisk 13 will be final and we can move forward.

Place a copy of audio effects.conf in vendor/etc. Should get you working. Be sure to set permissions as well.

Just to be sure, folks realize there is full equalizer support in my SkyHigh kernel and the bands are all adjustable, even per channel if desired, in Synapse, right? Just noting in case that's all you need, because it is a no-CPU-load way of getting it done.

Dirty Unicorns can't install V4A drivers

Hey guys. I'm trying to get viper4android working on my Nexus 5x running the most recent stable version of Dirty Unicorns.
I tried just normally installing the apk. Changing selinux to permissive. I have the newest version of su and BusyBox installed and yet the driver refuses to install. Every time I restart my phone it says I need to install the driver.
I've been looking around online and I can't seem to find a good answer for what exactly I need to do to get it working.
The popular thread in the Nexus 6 section has way to much info and I just can't follow it to install it properly. I basically want viper4android so I can use pulse with Spotify.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Flash either of these ViperAudio or ViperAtmos (if you want Dolby Atmos too) in TWRP. It works even with systemless root and enforcing SELinux.

Official Xposed for Nougat now available

Official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is Here – Download your Favorite Modules Now!
Announcement by rovo89 in XDA thread
Anyone tried it yet? Please give your feedback here.
He also says Xposed for Oreo won't be a long wait!
Tried it on a stock build, rooted, BL unlocked, etc. Installs great. The Youtube adaway works well, greenify doesnt work yet. the others I use arnt supporting N yet. only a matter of time
either way, its safe to install, make sure you install the correct version, and wipe cache on boot, or else stuff breaks
I mainly used (on my Moto X Pure running MM): GravityBox (which is supposed to be ready), Youtube adaway, and Youtube background play. Greenify and Amplify too but not nearly as important on this phone. OG Youtube has given me pretty much the same capability using custom ROMs, though, along with some of the customization you get in Gravitybox. I do wonder about a potential performance hit running the Xposed framework, but it'd sure be nice having the full stock camera functionality again.

Can you please share the direct download link of what needs to be flashed/installed first? It would be great if you can mention the order of flash/install as well? This is for users like me who would be requiring some help.
Also, I have magisk 14 installed on my rooted g5 Plus and am seeing Xposed Installer in the Downloads section? Can you please confirm if this is the official one?

I'm using the GB beta. It's working well for me. No need to flash AOSP anymore :laugh:
GB has all the things I like to flash LOS for and I don't have to deal with any bugs :good:
I've got it running too, thanks to the favorable feedback getting me to take the plunge after not being on stock for several months. Am using the Youtube Adaway that appears under Installer/Download, then found a Youtube Background Playback module apk that seems to work fine, and the GravityBox/Nougat also as an apk (says it's alpha, not beta). No errors or problems so far and settings are holding after reboots.
I'm really not a big camera user but the stock camera is noticeably brighter and just works way better than those on the custom roms. Viper4Arise (flashed as a zip in TWRP) works on everything but SoundCloud, which I think is a nougat thing because it works on all the oreo roms I tried, but also didn't on most nougat roms.
I'd say it's definitely a go for those wanting to try it, just do some research to see if your preferred modules are working or not, and don't expect it to be perfect yet since it just came out.

v4A on magisk16.4 may update?

Has anyone been able to get a v4a module working on 16.4 and the may update? I tried installing the module by viper50 and ahirion that has worked so well in the past... Doesn't seem to be enabling for me this time around for some reason. Any ideas?
Or other mods to recommend?
V4a v2.5.05 working fine with magisk 16.4 and may update here.

Are you flashing in magisk or twrp? Which module are you using? Thanks!
I'm neither of the other posters, but flash V4A via Magisk using the module authored by Viper520, ZhuHang, Ahrion, and Zackptg5. Be certain that you select the new driver and the materialized version of the app for V4A to work properly.

This ^^ : point upwards: ! Especially the underlined part; it took me a whole lot of trial and error to figure this last part out...
In any case, I used the latest Magisk module (if you check the details of the modules, it'll show when it was last updated). If anything, supposedly you could just install straight away, but V4A gave me errors. I had to uninstall the existing V4A, reboot, install via Magisk module, and reboot before it worked. You (@Cowbell_Guy) might, at the very least, have to walk through the same steps for whatever reason...
Hope this helps...

[GUIDE] How to install Viper4Android and Dolby Digital Plus.

I have successfully put together a method to get Dolby Digital Plus and Viper4Android running on Redmi Note 8 Pro. Firstly I am rooted on 11.0.6 Global and using LR-TWRP as recovery. On another note I have tried nearly every recovery on this Forum but the only one that doesn't give me a black screen the LR-TWRP.
1. First you need to get the Android running in Permissive mode. For me the Magisk module DID NOT work. To get permissive I found a file on another forum that someone was using on other Redmi devices. It works perfectly with no flaws. Boot into TWRP flash Permissiver_v4_2.zip. And boot back into the device.
***Note.. If you upgrade rom using TWRP as I did from 11.0.2 to 11.0.6. You will have to reflash this file to get everything running properly.
2. Open Magisk and flash ViPER4Android_FX-v2.7.1.0(2710).zip. Reboot device and the open V4A. You should be prompted to install driver. Do so and reboot if prompted to, I don't remember for sure if it makes you or not.
3. Open Magisk and flash 2.1Audio_Modification_Library-v2.4.zip and then reboot.
***NOTE.. Only this version of Audio Modification I have had luck with getting this to run. I updated this file after having everything completely setup and working and it broke V4A and Dolby. Had to uninstall and reinstall this version..
4. Boot into TWRP, NOT Magisk and flash Dolby_Digital_Plus_v.6.5.zip
5. On reboot confirm everything is working. For me it is working flawlessly. Below is a link to the files you will need.

Gonna try this now because the previous tutorial about v4a does work but the moment I plug in my earphones, the status changes to "abnormal"

That is likely due to your phone not being in permissive mode. I've seen that guide as well. I took my past knowledge of getting Viper + Dolby to work and came up with this solution. Being in permissive mode is required for both apps to function
I just found out the reason why my V4A doesn't work when I plug in my headset/earphones. To all those who use poweramp and set your output to "Hi-Res Output", make sure your sample rate is set to 48khz. Setting it to 96khz and up changes the status on V4A to abormal and won't work.
Thanks bro. It is working for me as well you made my day..

When I flash V4A it functions properly however my SIM card is no longer recognize. When I uninstall V4A my sim is restored. What's up with that?

That is extremely weird. Never heard of anything like that before. Just a couple thoughts but do you have BusyBox installed through Magisk and have your phone set to permissive already?? Also what MIUI version are you running. I have tested this successfully on 11.0.2 and 11.0.6 Global.
I'm still down on 10.4. I haven't been convinced to move to 11
Worked perfectly from EEU (EU) rom moved to 11.0.6 (Global)!
Thank you very much!

You are not permissive. That is the exact error I got before I found the file I reference to flash to get 'permissive'. To check your status go to terminal and first 'su' to get root. Then type 'getenforce'. Make sure your device is showing permissive. If this is notthe problem I would be surprised. Let me know and I will help you work the problem..

Awesome. The file I reference will change se status from boot. That app I think you have to set it after every reboot if I remember correctly. Regardless I'm glad you got it working. FYI.. Dolby won't show up as an installed app if your not running permissive as well. I know that from trial and error. Glad you got it working!
Steps work. Will confirm if this is any better than standalone V4A
[Update]
Yup. Definitely way better sound quality comparing to the previous methods i used. Also thanks for sharing permissiver.. The previous way i used to change SELinux was a massive pain in my neck. (Global phone on 11.0.2 Global ROM) Looking to see how v4a will fare in upcoming custom ROMs.
Do we have any dual speaker audio sound mod for our note 8 pro global?
+1 to dual speaker mod!

Dolby digital is not working after android 10 update... need the version update
Dear all, please note and be aware, this mod will not work on android 10 because
1. dolby digital version is not supported as i stated earlier..
2. when we change SE linux to permissive, phone becomes laggy and many secured application will not work... i have personally tried that may be because of high security of android 10.. i think we will need a custom rom

Installing Magisk on Galaxy Tab S T700 Running LineageOS 17.1

I've searched XDA and tried all the suggestions, but I still can't get Magisk to open on my Tab S. It is rooted with Lineage 17.1. I downloaded Magisk V26.1, renamed it to a zip file and installed with TWRP. I uninstalled and installed 3 times and still no luck. I also cleared cache and storage. There is no hidden version of Magisk. Anything else I can try? Maybe an older version of Magisk? Should I try wiping Dalvik cache using TWRP and if so, before or after installing Magisk?
Thanks!
Tom
try magisk canary or magisk delta

As you say it's rooted already why do you need to install Magisk 26 again at all, the current version already is 26.2 btw.

Good question. I'm a noobie and thought that Magisk provided more features or capabilities. But maybe I've been wasting my time on something I don't need!

Thanks, but it looks like canary only supports 64 bit systems. What is the difference between delta and the official Magisk? And if my tablet is already rooted, do I even need Magisk?
You don't need the Magisk app any longer. But honestly, as long as it is rooted I simply wouldn't touch it anyway. Just leave as it is.
The newer Magisk version is rather suitable for Android 13 and younger. Doesn't need to bother you and for < A12.

Now I remember why I was trying to install Magisk I can't install Netflix from the play store (message says will not run on my device). But I found some comments here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...m-t705-sm-t800-sm-t800-sm-p600.4270943/page-6) who used Magisk to get it to run:
mp1967 said:
I installed magisk v23 via twrp (renamed apk to zip first),
rebooted, used magisk modules liboemcrypto disabler and magiskhide props config and rebooted, enabled magisk hide
installed netflix app via sideload and tick box in magisk to hide this app
went to netflix account to enable HD streaming for the device

I tried searching that thread for any more clues, but I can't get the "Search this thread" tool to work and didn't want to read 73 pages of posts. Anyway, do you know another way to get Netflix to work on LineageOS 17.1?
I've Netflix installed on my SM-T805 (LineageOS 18.1) without any Magisk modules. Runs fine.
Cheers
Toscha
Thanks again, Toscha. I wonder if it is because I only have LineageOS 17.1, the latest available for my T700. Do you remember if you downloaded it from apkmirror?
Actually I'm not sure. At least in the settings for Netflix app it says 'Installed from Play Store'. Not sure though whether it's the same for apps installed from APKmirror.
I did that a while just for test purpose. Not using Netflix actively on the tablet. And yes, it might have been from APKmirror.
Cheers
Toscha
I appreciate all your help, Toscha. I'll try some other versions....though I think the one I used should work on the T700 processor.
Much obliged!
Hey Toscha, just wanted to let you know I got it to work. I was using TWRP to install but all I needed to do was use APKmirror installer app! All is good now
Tom
Glad it worked finally!
Cheers
Toscha
