[TUTORIAL]...Viper4Android proper installation on stock ROM

As a few days frustration and zillion tries are behind me let me explain proper instalation of this sound engine. Just to notice that you DON'T need permissive kernel for that because I installed it on my stock German ROM and now works in French Orange ROM G935FXXU1APBF as well !
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE ON CLEAN STOCK ROM :
At first...
You need to DELETE not to freeze sound alive and adapt sound.
In build.prop find the lines or add them as follows ;
Ipa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false.
.
1.You need to root your SM-G935F device with newest SuperSU by ChainFire located here.So, download and flash TWRP recovery from here and flash SuperSU.Wipe dalvik,wipe cache, then Restart your device.
2.From Playstore download and install latest STERICSON BUSYBOX. Install busybox in default su/xbin and give root permission.Restart your device again.
3. Download from official page Viper4android version 2.4.0.1 from HERE
4. Using Root explorer copy Viper4Android in folder PRIV-APP and give it permission 0644 rw-r--r-- (see attached image)
5.Restart your device
6. Open V4A and install driver when it asks...don't exit app or DON'T TOUCH anything else, just Restart your device.
7. Open V4A and go to Settings - UI Setting - Expert Mode
8. In some occasions V4A will ask for new driver installation...Install again and restart device.
9. Use your V4A wisely !
IMPORTAINT NOTIFICATION !
If you previously messed up with V4A or rooting,I recommend fresh ROM installation from scratch.
If V4A constantly offers to install driver, it means you did not properly rooted your device !
VIPER4ANDROID IS NOT WORKING ON STOCK PLAYER !
That's all.If you didn't read post carefuly, there is no any support else, because it is not needed.

Followed your guide, didn't ask to install a new driver after step 8 and viper is not working any suggestions?

In some cases it doesn't ask for another driver installation after entering expert mode.Did you try another player?
If you don't used it on clean rom then it could be anything.

I've not needed to do half of this.

How come ?

BusyBox Location is Su/xbin or System/xbin ?

I read and hence the question, because usually since MM - Busybox is installed to System/xbin by default.
Nevermind, Gonna try that as well now. Thanks!

Because I simply download the latest APK and install it as a normal app rather than copy across and setting permissions.
I then download and flash the ZIP from the below site:
http://androiding.how/how-to-fix-viper4android-selinux-policy-issues-on-lollipop/
After that I installed the driver, rebooted and all was good.
I was the first\one of the first, to flash v4a on our device.

I've already created a tutorial thread for this in the guide section. People might find it easier, no need to make adjustments to build.prop for example, it's automatic.

Thank you so much for this barbik!
I've literally spent the best part of a day trying to get this to work. Followed various guides posted here but only your link applied V4A system wide rather than just for GoneMAD.
If anyone else is having issues, uninstall the driver and the app, reboot into twrp and flash this zip instead.
Thanks again you saved me a few grey hairs!

Better than stock, have Apps2Sd working fine (which is a must on this tab unless you only use 2 apps ?), but can't swap SuperSU for MagiskSU anyhow.
Method:
backup your data,
ensure coming from Lollipop, not KitKat stock, (I had this but had to reflash to fix corrupt cache partition - couldn't wipe - so I'd be inclined to flash LP just for good measure),
flash TWRP (below),
factory reset wipe + system wipe,
flash ROM,
flash patch,
(I then flashed Magisk SU (any) which fails, but removes inbuilt SU first which causes TWRP to offer to apply root which I accepted and this causes SuperSU manager to prompt you to finish setting up root and handles this properly. Don't have to do it this way, but simpler than enabling inbuilt root in developer settings if you want root.)
Boot system,
Boot to TWRP and flash Open GApps (I used Nano - stock boots but has issues with Pixel Launcher).
Setup Apps2Sd (need to select Enable SU during boot and deselect Mount namespace separation in SuperSU manager settings to let simlink stick on reboot).
Enjoy 5.1.1 LOS! PW

Here's 1 of the 1st d/l you'll need for installing 12.1. You are updated to lolli pop,cover. 6.0 , as that's a big prerequisite as the thread discusses.

Anyone else having issues flashing Xposed?

You may, or may not, have noticed Xposed for SDK27 came out today I for one, am hyped. However, I cannot get it to install. The app gives a 404 error when I try to download though through there. I can download through the official DB, but that doesn't work either, gives me a 'failed to mount /system'. I'm assuming there's some perms issue, but i'd rather not mess with it. I'm on a Verizon Pixel 2.
Edit:Systemless is out if you're having issues installing. But you won't pass safety-net.

Yeah i was running it for almost a week now on my Pixel2.
You cannot flash it through TWRP, the zip installer doesn't support A/B partition yet.
I used to install it through Xposed Installer App, if it doesn't show up the framework screen, check "Show outdated versions", copy the zip file to "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/downloads/framework" and re-open the app.

Download the Xposed zip, copy it and paste it here
"/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/downloads/framework"
In the Xposed installer app settings, check off "show outdated versions"
Then the zip that you posted will show up in the app to be installed.
Hope that makes sense...

Upon that, I'm faced with this issue:

What's the trick getting /system/framework read only when installing from Xposed installer.

Edit: those getting the read only error using a regular pixel 2 or all xl? This might help them figure it out.

I was able to get mine installed using the steps from wanam. Had to place the file in the framework folder. After that it installed fine

Would be interesting to know if anyone with 2 xl has been able to install it. It seems to be an XL issue since it has not been tested yet officially.

How to install Xposed ?

Hello everyone, I have rooted and installed TWRP in my galaxy j7 2016 (sm-j710fn).
I installed Xposed installer but when I go to "framework" the "install/update" button is grayed out and does not work.
I've checked, and I think (if I understood correctly) that I need to flash a zip file, but I dont know which one to take in a list of files on xda, which I can't post here.
Is this the right method (I dont want to brick my device) and if so, which file should I choose?
Thank you in advance.

1) Open Magisk Manager. Do complete uninstall (press uninstall at the bottom)
2) Restart your phone.
3) Download the rom and put it in the root folder of your phone.
4) Go to Settings>System>System Update
5) Click the 3 dots at the top right, go to local update.
6) Update the phone using the rom you downloaded.
7) You'll have to patch the boot image with magisk again once you're done.

Dude here root folder means not the root permission. It means move the zip file from downloads and paste it in the internal storage. Don't add the zip file to any folder.
