[APP PORT] CM DSP for Galaxy S4

I just got the I9506 and coming from a CM powered phone one of the things I missed was the DSP Manager app. So, I decided to port it to the S4. All you have to do is to copy the files in the zip to their proper locations in the phone with a rooted file manager and set the permissions to RW-R-R
Sorry, it is NOT a flashable zip as I do not have a custom ROM installed to test it, you'll have to move the files manually.
If you encounter any problems let me know.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST to back up the files before replacing them with the new ones....
This has been tested and working on a I9506 with stock ROM (4.3), but should work on other 4.3 ROMS and maybe also on 4.2 or 4.4. Test and let me know.
* If your phone dies doing this I'm not responsible
** I just edited some config files, the REAL WORK is from CM team.
*** This has been done for my personal use, I'm not looking for fame and/or glory, just sharing in case it is useful to anybody else

Have you tried Viper4Android? A lot more features than the standard DSP application.

Is an app that adds a number of sound effects and let's you set specific sound EQ values depending on the output (Headset, Loudspeaker, Bluetooth). If you have a custom recovery do a nandroid and test it... I think it should work

Fair enough, what you're comfortable with is the most important thing. But just to point out that it's very similar in terms of UI it just has a lot of additional options for tweaking the sound. I strongly suggest you try it and see if you like it. You can certainly get a better sound out of it than a plain DSP app. It's absolutely essential for anyone who uses their phone as a music player in my view.

Works fine on i9500. Not works on stock music app. thank you

[GUIDE] How to make Viper4Android work on 5.0.x Lollipop

How to get Viper4Android working on Lollipop ROMs​
I want to start the thread off by stating that I DID NOT develop this mod myself. Full credit for the work goes to @FuMMoD for the updates for V4A’s .apk and libraries. Also to @//.dax for the new icon. @AndrasLOHF for the thread that lists the original .zip files we’ll be flashing, also the Viper4Android team for making this app in the first place. This thread is simply a detailed, in-depth guide with a video to help people install what they created. Links to the original threads are below. Please visit it for more information and help. This wouldn’t have been possible without these people.
I’ve personally tested this method on many ROMs based off of CM12 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 and it’s worked every time. If it doesn’t work for your ROM, post details and I’ll look into it. Most people have tried this method on their Nexus 5 and reported success.
Stock users!! If you use a ROM based on TouchWiz or other ROMs with a stock kernel that is set to "Enforcing", there is a chance step #3 will fail! Please read Q6 in the F.A.Q. below for help on this! This is NOT a V4A problem! And it CAN be fixed usually! Read carefully!
Please do not post that this isn't working for you unless you are 100% sure you did the steps exactly like I mentioned. Read the F.A.Q. first to make sure. Visit the thread links below for more help. It should theoretically work on all Lollipop ROMs.
Please follow this carefully step by step or this may not work for you. If you ARE sure you did these steps correctly and it still didn't work (I don't see why it wouldn't), post your device information and ROM details and I'll look into it.​
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it!
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.]​​​
Let's get started.
Things you'll need:
1. A lollipop ROM. (duh)
2. Root access.
3. Custom recovery. (Any recovery should work as long as it can flash .zip files)
I would recommend reading the F.A.Q. before you do this!​
Here's a video tutorial I made to make things easier to understand:
Here are the steps:
Head into your settings, and go to about device. Look for the SELinux status. If it says either “Permissive” or “disabled”, move on to step 4. If it says “Enforcing”, go to step 2.
Download and install “SELinux Mode Changer” from the Play Store (link in post two)
Open the app you just installed, and tap on “Permissive”. Grant root access when and if prompted, then reboot the device. <--If this does not work, read question 6 of the F.A.Q. below.
Go to post two, and download “Viper4Lollipop.zip” from any of the mirrors listed. (Request for more mirrors).
Go into app drawer, and disable “Audio FX”, or “DSP Manager” or “Music FX” depending on your ROM.
Disable stock music player. <--Read question 1 of the F.A.Q. below to see why you have to do this.
Go to developer options, and uncheck “Use NuPlayer”.
Reboot device into recovery.
Flash the “Viper4Lollipop.zip” you downloaded. Wipe dalvik/cache. Reboot.
Open the V4A app from the app drawer, and install drivers when prompted after granting root access. Reboot once it’s done.
Go to play store and download any third party music app. (Shuttle Player or Google Play Music are good options.)
Enjoy the sweet sound of V4A on your Lollipop ROM.
F.A.Q.
Q1: Why do I need to disable the stock music app?
A: V4A causes force closes when using the stock music app. You CAN try another .zip (see post two and question 2 of F.A.Q.) which fixes this issue, but the disadvantage of that is that you might lose Chromecast functionality. Moreover, I never tried this personally so I can’t help you if you flash the other one and it doesn’t work. For anyone who wants to try a more complex approach and keep stock music player compatibility, see post #20 by @mholloway.
Q2: What is the difference between the recommended .zip and alternate .zip?
A: The recommended one will break stock music app, but it’ll work fine otherwise. The alternate one MIGHT fix the stock music app, but you might lose Chromecast functionality. Refer to the original thread for more details on this.
Q3: Will this cause any bricks or bootloops?
A: Absolutely no. It shouldn't. Never bricked mine.
Q4: How do I remove this?
A: Uninstall V4A drivers, then delete the app from the root directory.
Q5: Why does the volume go down on some screens?
A: This isn’t a problem with V4A. This is because of Google Now conflict or any other app that uses the microphone. It happens on some ROMs and they are the problems. Example: Volume went down for me on GearCM but not on Euphoria OS. Fix? Disable "OK Google" hot-word detection or disable/stop apps that use the microphone.
Q6: The kernel won't change to permissive.
You're not alone. Some people reported this doesn't work on some stock ROMs. This is because of the stock kernel on some stock ROMs (mostly Samsung) that cannot be changed to permissive. At this point, your best bet is to try a different kernel for your phone and ROM. A simple Google search will help you with that. Thanks to @banccalif in post #15 for the suggestion.
Watch the video if the steps seem complicated to you. If you're gonna tell other people about this, please link back to this thread.
Enjoy V4A for Lollipop and be sure to check out the thread in post two and thank the devs. They’re the geniuses who did this. :good:

On that particular ROM? No. I have not. But it worked on 100% of Lollipop ROMs I've tried.. CM12, GearCM, Resurrection Remix and Euphoria. Worked just fine. If you do decide to try it, do post results.

Even with that app? I don't think you can disable it if it's set to enforcing, only to permissive.. But I don't know why you're not able to set it to permissive from enforcing though.. :/ Try asking in the ROM forum? Mine was disabled from the beginning so I had no troubles with this. But everyone who has had it to enforcing WAS able to change it with that app. :/

I guess it would not change on touchwiz based roms

Really? I didn't even know it has that problem lol All my contacts are synced with Google since I flash ROMs all the time and don't have patience to backup phone contacts every time I do.. And my SIM could never accommodate my 300+ contacts. But if it helps, @BlaqueDroid's Euphoria OS I'm using now is pretty nice if you wanna try it out. :good:

Hey man, I'd like to ask ya, I've installed 2.3.4.0 , on stock player the processing is working BUT when I'm using TTpod then writes NO, on 2.3.3.0 was working.so if i flash the V4A patch compatibility zip might work?

I dunno what patch compatibility zip you are talking about. The zip in this thread contains the full app along with modified and additional binaries. FYI, the app included is 2.3.3.0 and not 2.3.4.0. I haven't gotten around to update it yet, but if it helps, I just installed TTPod on my Galaxy S4 i9500 running CM12 to test it and it's working perfectly like you said.

I'm on a sprint s5 running MOAR 6.0 Lollipop so I don't know if there are or where the kernel may be for you. Kernels are the same as flashing a rom, wipe both caches before and after flashing

No problem at all ?

I am on MOAR Ao6 lollipop. I have the stock music player.which viper won't work with,so I extracted the AOSP music player from the MOAR ROM and changed the apk name from SamsungMusic_20 to SamsungMusic1_20 and created a folder named the same in system/app.set permissions and now I have the stock player. And the AOSP player (Apollo) and viper4android works with Apollo.

What music player are you guys using? Also remember Permissive mode is a must not optional, even after driver installation permissive mode is still needed for full use.

[Lollipop] Viper4android v2.3.3.0

Hi, guys! I found a working version viper4android for Android 5.0.2, i tested on latest version CyanogenMod 12 and works great! Installation by twrp/cwm
My Viper isn't working!!!
"Did you install by flashing the zip??? Is your apk in priv-app??? Do you have any other conflicting sound mods or eq's??? Is Viper enabled and you have installed the drivers and done a reboot???
Some people have luck adding or changing these lines in their build.prop:
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
Also some music players work better by switching to Compatibility Mode. To do that go to menu, click FX Compatible Mode, then click Compatible. Doing this should cause Viper to only modify media players instead of changing sound system wide. Some users say this helps with battery usage as Viper will only process sound when you want it to."
P.S.:
Lolliviper will install the Viper to priv-app and remove Audio FX, DSP Manager, and Music FX.

kernel change
Even with SeLinux Mode Changer, the kernel stays on enforcing mode (in my case atleast where im on stock 5.0.1) (EVEN WHEN MODE WAS CHANGED TO PERMISSIVE) Basically what has to be done is install a SeMode editing friendly kernel inbuilt in a particular rom which i cant find and i can't live without viper4android :crying: :crying:

i dont get what you said about this part "im using it with stock tw 5.0.1 since i managed to run viper on 4.4.4 stock."
are you using viper on tw 5.0.1 because you make it work on 4.4.4? that doesnt make sense.
also, how did you make viper works on tw 5.0.1 ? did you use that apk that changes the kernel to permissive?
did you do something else?
i also installed viper on t2 5.0.1 and get able to click on options but they didnt make any difference to the sound.
also, you said you will try with custom kernels...
does that mean, you make it work with stock ones? (the ones in custom tw 5.0.1 roms)
are there any custom kernel for tw 5.0.1?
Sorry for these lots of questions.

2. No i didnt successfully run the mod and system status remains abnormal inspite of me following every step to install viper
3. When i say custom kernel, PrismBarebone Rom in aurora gives you an option to flash 5 different kernels and i will try to run it in one of those kernels to see if this mod works

Viper4Android working on Note 5

For those of you that don't know Viper4Android is the probably the best sound mod you can do on any android phone, I can confirm that it works on the Note 5 as my listening experience in the car has greatly improved
Prerequisites
-Must be rooted
-Skyhigh or arter97 kernel flashed
-If no custom kernel is flashed selinux must be set to permissive using the selinux app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485
-Download Viper4Android from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Steps
1. Download and install this zip through recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...achment.php?attachmentid=3470840&d=1442036930 (Credits to Critical Detox for finding it)
2. Launch Viper4Android and install the driver and reboot

That should be it to get it working, S6 users have commented that you have to freeze a couple of apps for it to work but I can confirm that's not the case. If you have any questions or need suggestions feel free to ask

I have had this working on every device, previously the S6 using a flashable zip.
Now I cannot get it to process when clicking on driver status it usually says "yes".
I am using a deodexed tmobile rom with Noble kernel. The SELINUX changer says I am permissive but viper4android doesnt want to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Original Post says you have to use SKYHIGH or ARTER97 kernel...

I couldn't get it to work. It would enable, but not process. Could you take some screenshots?

Interesting just checked, it say's not processing for me as well but playing around with the settings still changes the quality of the sound

For those of you that don't know Viper4Android is the probably the best sound mod you can do on any android phone, I can confirm that it works on the Note 5 as my listening experience in the car has greatly improved
Prerequisites
-Must be rooted
-Skyhigh or arter97 kernel flashed
-If no custom kernel is flashed selinux must be set to permissive using the selinux app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485
-Download Viper4Android from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Steps
1. Once downloaded don't flash in recovery(FC'ed on me), unzip the file and there should be two apks. Only install the one with the higher file size(Should be 5mb)
2. Launch Viper4Android and install the driver and reboot

using a file explorer move the IRS file to SDcard/VIper4Android/Kernel

The viper I installed is the 2.3.4.0 that's the right one right?

Interesting. Are you running in compatible mode, then?

I envy all of you for getting to use Viper, I'm trying my best to hold out until I can try Samsung pay beta/release which ever comes first to me then I'll decide to root only after.

I've been wondering this for a while now. I noticed in the OP, there was a choice to use a custom kernel or stay with the stock one. Obviously, we need root to get Viper working BUT do we really need a custom kernel to root 5.1.1. On the Note 5? I'm asking because BOTH of my cars miss Viper from my Note 4 and I'm hearing the current Kernels are causing a few issues with the Note 5, thanks!

You can root using the Noble Kernel which is pretty much a stock kernel and then use the selinux app to change the kernel to permissive.

yes forgot to mention that Ill add that in the OP

Thanks for the reply, Adolfo. Are you having any issues with the Noble Kernel? People are reporting things like battery drain, rebooting and or loss of certain features, Netflix not work, etc. I miss Viper but I would like to know that my phone would be fully functional after root. Also, it seems as if only a few Kernels work with the new firmware that was released yesterday.
Keeps getting more complicated. haha.

Viper4android has nothing to do with Netflix not working, rebooting or battery drain.

While I appreciate the help, Brava, I was responding to Adolfo's recommendation of using the Noble kernel due to it being close to stock. My question was if he's having any issues with that Kernel.
I've used Viper since it's inception so I'm fully aware that it has nothing to do with any of the aforementioned symptoms.
Thanks though.
