Android Q: Viper4android compatible? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I've been trying to get viper4android working on Android q for quite some time but the module and the app itself does not want work at all. Plus when viper asks you to install the driver from the app it will end up in a bootloop. Has anybody found a temp workround for it?
Device: Pixel 2 XL Android version: Q Beta 3

I'm having a similar issue, only the driver install is asked again upon reboot ;_;

Thats only why i rollback from Q.
Total**** sound without

Ok, got it working on beta 3, using the apk 2.7.1.0 from XDA. It appears to install as a magisk module, along with AML. It didn't work on my first try, then all was good. I need to run it in compatibility mode from the menu. https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx

In android P what version did you use?

Always used the magisk repo version before- I tried this many times on Q, with and without AML, but always got the dreaded install driver dialogue. Also tried SE Linux permissive, but no luck. I've never used the apk before, but am sat here now listening to music quite happily. It's survived a couple of reboots (just checking).

Hm, I just tried that. I downloaded the one off XDA LABS and checked compatibility mode on the app. Still showing up as driver not installed. Viper4Android is literally the key element for my phones such a good module.

Try another reboot?

I just upgraded to Android 10 on my Pixel 2XL and have Viper running now. Download stable 2.7.1.0 from XDA Labs, grant root with Magisk. Check compatibility mode THEN install the driver. Restart, make changes, and then be sure to check "Attach audio effects" in settings once you make your changes.

Ok, here's what you gotta do to get it to work, this is the ONLY method I've had consistently work for me from beta 3-public release(did it an hour ago and worked perfectly)
First, uninstall any viper you have also make sure you completely uninstall audio modification library if you have it installed, not disable, uninstall it and reboot after uninstalling what I've listed.
After you're all booted back up, install viper from labs (link in this thread)(Also, forget about compatibility mode, don't use it) now open viper but do NOT install the driver yet, just open the application then go to magisk and install audio modification library but dont let magisk reboot the phone after it installs. Once installation completed, go back to viper and install the driver and let it reboot. Once booted, go straight to magisk and DISABLE audio modification library (uncheck the box next to it if you dont get what I mean) don't uninstall it. After disabling AML head back to viper and install the driver again. Now once rebooted is the moment of truth, if you open viper and its installed you're obviously done but if it's not installed you have to take this next step: don't install the driver just yet, go to magisk and re-enable AML then back to viper and install the driver. I don't see why this would not work for you guys, I know this isn't the easiest tutorial to follow but make sure you follow it to a T, if you mess any step up you need to start from scratch and uninstall both AML and viper and start again.
Good luck guys and may the audiophile Gods be on your side through this process!

Take a bow good sir, it worked! Had to follow the steps to the end as first time around it didn't work. Now seems to be alright (see attached)
For anyone else wondering, I upgraded from Aug 9.0 build to Q (020) last night by flashing the factory ROM without wipe. Rooted, ads disabled and now ViperFX working. Life is goooood :angel:

By enabling, I meant turning on the master limiter and other settings. I adjusted mine with a nice YouTube track playing in the background and it all worked a treat. Yet to do my Bluetooth earphones though

@1dopewrx05 I followed your mini tutorial to a T and it worked perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to do this, I really appreciate it. Just updated my old faithful to 10 earlier and gonna mess around with some of the neat features. I can't live without Viper, it's essential to me.

Viper4Android + lollipop?

Haven't been able to get it working since taking the lollipop update. Anyone been successful? If so, can you please list the steps you took in order to get it working? Thanks!
Try the official v4a for lollipop, it'll install all the necessary libraries and build.prop modifications.
Then use SELinuxModeChanger app and change to permissive.
Once done start v4a and install drivers, then reboot. It should work fine.

Thanks for the reply. Still not working for me. Not sure what the problem is. Followed your instructions 100% but when I go to Spotify>Settings>Equalizer it does not bring up v4a

I give up. I'm just going to buy a portable amp

Sometimes the device doesn't detect v4a as a DSP manager, so you'll need to turn it on and set your settings manually.

Viper4Android working or not?? And if working how to install it?

Hello everyone
I have been really confused about this and i want to confirm if Viper4Android is working on our phone or not... And if its working can someone write a short guide on how to install Viper4Android and its drivers...
Working great.. no special things for installation... just install app, open app and install driver, reboot

Not working here. always asks to install the driver after reboot.
To get it working all I did was root my phone, installed viper4android.
After opening the app it asked to install the drivers I let it, then rebooted
everything worked just fine.
Viper4Android needs your phone to be on Permissive Kernel.
Working!!! Ty everyone will post a link and how-to install guide in my thread

Anyone know how to get convolver to work with CM 12.1 nightly on z00A?
Hi, can somebody confirm that Viper4android works without issues on the original rom?, i mean by this that after a reboot the app starts itself, as in my case I have to start the app to get its functionality working on my player
Thanks
is viper4android safe? It asks for a lot of permmisons
yeah viper4android is safe i have been running it since my galaxy s3 and never looked backed best app i have ever come across as far as boosting audio quality.
also guys having problems with not hearing any differance i had the same problem at first then i found a thread in general with a modified audio_policy.config file i had to replace with the original one then v4a worked a charm also kernel has to be permissive too so try it again with the modified audio_policy if you gave up because i nearly did
Not really working for me. I did the se permissive then installed v4a then installed driver and reboot. Now I'm using it mainly for Spotify and it works sometimes but then sometimes it will stop working unless I unplug the headphones and plug back in or sometimes it just stop working at all

Viper4FX not workin'?

Hello dudes and dudiens,
I got a question... I have a OnePlus 5t (Stock Rom / Franco Kernel / 128/8), I tried both systemless and system aplications of Viper4FX and I didnt have any effects on my
Sennheiser Momentum IE. But when I listened to music in my Car (via bluetooth) it had a effect. How could I fix this? :/ any thoughts.?
btw. I yes I have root + magisk (+ optional xposed)
have a nice day ^^
Are you using high res audio output? I had issues with Viper with that.

Install busybox and then try to install driver
Hope it works
I was happy and did not know. It was perfect my viper4fx there magisk suggested an update to version 1.7.5 unfortunately I lost the equalizer, it did not work anymore. I installed busybox, drivers, dozens of times, backed up the versions, nothing. Damn update, I think I'll have to format. I'm sad.
Go into the App, then close it with the exit button in the menu. Then restart the App.
That's works for me.

I have the same issue. Now I use V4A from the XDA store and just install viper manually. It always works. It also shows up as a magisk module, and it works just fine with AML.
Also, if you want to use the magisk repo V4A FX by zackptg5, it doesn't seem to work on oreo but it works great on pie.

Pixel 2 XL Rooted - Viper4Android v4.1, Magisk 19

Sorry for the noob question.
Running a Pixel 2XL - Pie April '19 Security Build, Magisk v19.0. When trying to install Viper4Android FX v4.1, I have tried seemingly every combination of options, but cannot get the 2.5.0.5 driver to install.
Both the material and regular app install and as a system or user app. Just the driver never gets installed?
Please advise if I've missed something obvious - thanks in advance!
Try flashing in TWRP.

working with magisk v 18.1 without problems
Latest Canary working also.
Google always tries to disable the root
@pepins: It's not that Google always tries to disable root, Play Protect always tries to disable the Material Design version of the V4A app.
@Switch Blade: When you tried updating it hung for a while on the prompt to update, then it threw up a message to reboot? After rebooting, did it prompt to install the driver again? I encountered that and it's probably a bug in the install script for the module. You need to head to the Magisk thread for the module and bring this up. That said, installing through TWRP, as recommended in the first reply to your post, is the way to go here.

Tried flashing from TWRP - same issue, upon openning Viper4android app, tells me the driver isn't installed - then fails on IO.
Weird
Check Magisk see if viper is in SU. If not Go-to viper app info clear data and turn storage off. Sometimes this make Magisk ask for SU for viper. Makes it work sometimes.
I had to use this method for a while to get it to work. Also I have musicfx disabled in apps. Had to do that on my Nexus 6 and just kept on doing it. Uninstall Viper reboot.
Install Viperfx don't reboot
Install audio modification reboot.
It can be done in TWRP also. If you reflash either of those a second time it uninstalls them if you didn't know.
I'm not a developer I pretty much just mess with these things until they work for me.

Of the three devices I installed V4A on the P2XL was the only one to have an issue. Normally it's not an issue, so what changed this time I don't know. Anyway, the other two devices, a Moto X Pure and a Galaxy S4, installed the driver through Magisk without difficulty. As mentioned, flashing V4A in TWRP on the P2XL resolved things.

I tried just installing opposite features today didn't work. On my phone it goes 2.5.0.5. Old Style, System App, and after the update I have to choose no on the last. It's my 1 reason for using root.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
Try SeLinux Permissive apk
This happens every now and then for me; especially if I'm updating V4A after being on an older version for a long time...
I've forgotten where I've seen/read it, but many times you can't simply update it and/or install the driver from the app. What I end up doing (forced to do) is to uninstall the app (from within Magisk), reboot, and re-download/re-install it (searching for module from within Magisk app) and it should (usually) install the driver again...I usually install it by selecting the 2.5.0.5 and "material" version and as a "system app"...
I dunno why...but this seems to do the trick, but I have to do it frequently now and then...
I use Magisk module that works for speakers, but not with headset.It happens only to me?

These steps allowed me to install the driver!!!! Thank you!
Installed fine for me. Using Magisk 18.1 though.
Here are more instructions (if some continue to have problems) and a Viper profile for XDA members to try out. Works very well to make the phone speakers sound good.

Question Viper4Android

Anyone get this working yet?
I installed V4A 2.7.2.1 on my P6P and it works fine. I had to use the apk instead of the magisk module version since the module doesn't work for me.
1. Install the V4A apk
2. Open it, grant root and let it install the driver
3. After reboot, replace the V4A post-fs-data.sh with the custom one (I forget where I got it from) and reboot again
4. Configure V4A and done.

These are the steps I used on my OnePlus 9 and they worked on my 6 Pro as well. Didn't need to mess with any post fs stuff:
1. Install Ainur Narsil in Magisk
2. Install AML in Magisk
3. Install V4A
4. Reboot and should be good (if not, continue to step 5)
5. Disable AML in Magisk (don't uninstall, just disable) and reboot
6. Re-enable AML, reboot and now you should be good

For me, I will try the method with post-fs-data.sh replacement first since it is simple and straightforward. If it doesn't work, I will resort to the above steps. The post-fs-data.sh replacement worked with my OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 8 Pro, Pixel 6 Pro, and Galaxy Tab S7+. However, I had to use the above steps for my OnePlus 9 Pro since the sh script didn't work for this phone.

No worries, you're free to try whatever method you like! I just thought I'd post mine because v4a is very finicky and there's no harm in having multiple methods of trying to get it to work
This is odd. I use Amazon music HD and Viper won't work with that at all but works with Deezer 100%, spotty on Tidal (some songs yes, some no).

Man it's been a long time, but am I crazy or is these available from WITHIN magisk after rooting or do I have to go download these? I haven't rooted since first year I had my OP6 and if I recall correctly magisk modules could be found within magisk and installed from storage if downloaded elsewhere...

No you are not crazy, I just noticed that the canary version of Magisk doesn't seem to the repo inside of the app.
I've attached the necessary files and it seems we may have to rely on GitHub for future updates
Full disclosure: I do not own a pixel 6 pro. But I thought I'd offer a super simple and possibly working fix for V4A on your device. Using my pixel 4a 5g and running A12.. Ive been running the same version of V4A for the last year.. and it worked on A11 and A12. It's simply plug and play. One time flash of the zip, immediately reboot and done. Nothing more is needed. No replacing files. No Ainur. And AML isn't needed either.
Works perfect on my device. Installs 2.5.0.4 (and not 2.7.x). But honestly, it's the same thing for all intents and purposes.
Like I said, in the interests of being totally honest -- I have no clue if it'll work for you. I hope it does. As V4A is essential for the best possible sound. Especially when using headphones.. it transforms my sound from walkman to a Bose when using them. With a few tweaks, it literally feels like I'm at the concert and the music is coming from every different direction. Absolutely indispensable, this app!
Ps... I'm only on your all's forums because I'm super jealous and wanna pretend that I have a p6p. Probably sounds super gay, but I just wanna hold one.
Here's the link to the zip. I haven't seen anyone say that it didn't work for them. Also, the zip says that it's for Android 11. But that's because it came out before 12, and the existing v4as we're only working for Android <10.
If this one doesn't do the trick, I'm guessing it's just 1 step/tweak away from doing so. Lemme know if it works for y'all. Good luck and God bless.

Here's the link to the zip. I haven't seen anyone say that it didn't work for them. Also, the zip says that it's for Android 11. But that's because it came out before 12, and the existing v4as we're only working for Android <10.
If this one doesn't do the trick, I'm guessing it's just 1 step/tweak away from doing so. Lemme know if it works for y'all. Good luck and God bless.

just flash in magisk?
Viper's been so finicky with this device, working on some platforms and others not.
Doesn't work at all with Bluetooth and earbuds for some reason.

No you are not crazy, I just noticed that the canary version of Magisk doesn't seem to the repo inside of the app.
I've attached the necessary files and it seems we may have to rely on GitHub for future updates

Much appreciated, thanks for confirming for me since these days it seems a little more challenging to find info around here than it was a fear years ago. Granted it's also been a while since I've been on a XDA device subforum at release trying to root. After rooting this baby last night though I feel like a noob all over again, seems like the process changes a pretty good amount each time I dive back in with Google trying to make it harder and harder with each major version update.
Edit: oh boy, I still have my cringey post banner from years ago... Yikes.

Full disclosure: I do not own a pixel 6 pro. But I thought I'd offer a super simple and possibly working fix for V4A on your device. Using my pixel 4a 5g and running A12.. Ive been running the same version of V4A for the last year.. and it worked on A11 and A12. It's simply plug and play. One time flash of the zip, immediately reboot and done. Nothing more is needed. No replacing files. No Ainur. And AML isn't needed either.
Works perfect on my device. Installs 2.5.0.4 (and not 2.7.x). But honestly, it's the same thing for all intents and purposes.
Like I said, in the interests of being totally honest -- I have no clue if it'll work for you. I hope it does. As V4A is essential for the best possible sound. Especially when using headphones.. it transforms my sound from walkman to a Bose when using them. With a few tweaks, it literally feels like I'm at the concert and the music is coming from every different direction. Absolutely indispensable, this app!

These are the steps I used on my OnePlus 9 and they worked on my 6 Pro as well. Didn't need to mess with any post fs stuff:
1. Install Ainur Narsil in Magisk
2. Install AML in Magisk
3. Install V4A
4. Reboot and should be good (if not, continue to step 5)
5. Disable AML in Magisk (don't uninstall, just disable) and reboot
6. Re-enable AML, reboot and now you should be good

I can confirm this has worked on my pixel 6 pro, had to go all the way to step 6 but it ultimately worked. Thanks!!
Btw, Does anyone know the folder location for the presets?
Edit: After going through steps 1-6, I also tried uninstalling Ainur Narsil and after rebooting the phone, V4A still works. Just a heads up.
