Viper4Android TW Lollipop Tutorial [UPDATED]

First off, you do this at your own risk and I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone etc etc. Also, thanks to it's ties with Sound Alive, it won't work with the stock music player unfortunately but I have tested it with both Spotify and GoneMad and it works perfectly with both.
I'm using this on AryaMod 3.1, so this should mean the instructions below work on any N9005ZSUGOA5 based Lollipop rom.
1) Download and install DarkQueen Kernel here. Thank @hiepgia.
2) Add the line "setenforce 0" (without the quotes) to the end of the file /sýstem/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh. This will ensure a permissive state on boot. Thanks to @hiepgia and @filchi756 for this.
3) Download and install the new Viper4Android 2.3.4.0 here. Run, install the driver.
4) Find and freeze/delete Sound Alive. This being present is bad in particular for Spotify, which will always use Sound Alive in preference to Viper4Android.
Reboot enjoy Viper goodness.
For people who want to use the stock player, see @filchi756 post here
For people running AyraMod V4.0, ignore the above instructions, select DarkQueen kernel via Aroma on install (this will automatically result in permissive SE) and please see @filchi756's modified zip here. Don't forget to thank him.

Awesome

Finally!

Oh I am seeking for that. :good::good::good:

After flashing this kernel, WiFi stopped working... Anybody else has this issue? SM-N9005

it works fine like a charm

Unfortunately, it won't work for me... As soon as I flash stock kernel back - wifi is working like a charm again. Tried to do factory reset after flashing this Dark Queen Kernel - it didn't solve the problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We have the same situation. .I think we have to wait for google to release the lollipop sources for note3 and wait for someone to make a custom kernel intended for our phone.

OP updated.

You eventually did it. Well done!

Nice one! Could anybody make it work with the stock Samsung Music Player using this tutorial? It seems this app is deeply integrated with SoundAlive, so at least with KK it was impossible to make it work reliably with V4A. But things may have changed with LL...

Yeah, unfortunately it appears to be the same here. I froze Sound Alive to get Viper working with Spotify, but this results in no effects whatsoever with the stock music player. Personally, this doesn't bother me as there are far better players on the market.

What baseband are you on? You have the same phone model as myself and my wifi works fine. I suspect it might be related to your modem/NON-HLOS.

Overall everything works fine except few bugs from the Darkqueen kernel, like brightness changes sometimes when I lock/unlock the phone.

I'm on the newest XEO Lollipop available from sammobile, so the modem version I have is BNL8.
Thanks for trying to help me

I'm on GNH1 myself. Might be worth trying another to see if the WIFI works.

Sir please help us too. I'm using galaxy s4 i9500 with official lollipop installed. we don't have any permissive kernel.

If you're correct and there is no kernel which is either permissive or can be made permissive then Viper is currently unusable on the Exynos variant of the S4. It's currently impossible to use Viper on an enforcing TW ROM.

[Q] port miui v6 audio and camera issue

Hi everyone,
I'm currently porting miui v6 to jiayu g4 (mtk6589) and the rom seems to work quite well, only 2 isues, camera and sound...
Camera: not working at all, when accessing a message pops up "can't connect to camera"
sound: when headsets are plugged there's sound through the headset but also alarm and notification etc through speakers, when headsets are not plugged, there's no sound at al out of the speaker
I also have the same issues when porting cyanogenmod 11.
I'm porting from the jiayu g3 (same soc and resolution etc)
Could someone pleas help me?

never mind, already found the solutions
In case anyone other also face these problems:
camera issue: fixed by flashing vabe_cam_st over the fresh installed rom
sound issue: fixed by replacing libaudio.primary.default in /lib from base rom to porting rom

Hi, how is going your cutomization? If ready I would like to try it!

after flashing miui v6, flash the cam-fix from the link below. If it works, you can provide the fix with your rom (but do give me some credits for helping to find a fix ).

did you check if there wasn't any other camera app installed after flashing the fix? the new camera app should be the working one I think, well at least that's what I think I remember.
If the fix didn't do anything at all, did you try using google's camera from the play store?

Hello
I want to share with you my brand new Pseudo-Stereo tweak/mod for our i9505 (yeah, another "Stereo Surround Sound" mod)
It's a flashable zip for TWRP/CWM
Briefly, it uses both speakers (front and rear) for media playback in the most equilibrated way, providing highest levels without clipping (so much) at maximum volume.
To achieve this, i have fine adjusted and added some values into one system file related to audio that is present in CM12, CM12.1, and TW LOLLIPOP.
It will only work on Snapdragon 600 based S4, cause Exynos 5410 based S4 (I9500) has a different audio chip.
I have only tested on CM12/12.1, if you like to try on TW lollipop, make a backup of your "/system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" file, anyway, it won't hurt, but i'ts better to be safe.
It's compatible with viper4android (recommended) and faux audio.
The zip also installs renamed stock CM12/12.1 file in the same folder.
(If you manually replace the original file, you must give it 0644 permissions or your system won't boot.)
I hope you enjoy it!

@*Exynos* it should only work on snapdragon 600 cause as i know, the file that routes audio on the exynos based is "/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml"
if you cand send me that original file, possibly i can modify it to work.

if you (or anybody) can, send me a stock touchwiz lollipop 9500 "/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml" file i will appreciate it. i'm some confused about this xml structure.
it's completely different from i9505 cause different hardware, ain i haven't a system to test it so, the mod remains only for i9505.
anyway, thanks

It does not work on stock i9505 TW lollipop. I flashed it but there is no sound from the front speaker.

I zipped the file before I attached it. It's not allowing me to attach it with the default format.

Actually, i have one more question about this mod: does it records the phone calls from the line or from the mic?
I know that phone recording from the line is of much higher quality and works also if you use a bluethooth or wired headset. The phone recording from the mic only works if you use the phone without any headset and it is of lower quality (e.g. the voice of the other person you are talking to is weaker).
