[GUIDE] *UPDATED* Viper4Android Installation On Enforcing Stock Following Root - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion

You do this off your own back so you take full responsibility, but it worked perfectly for me. Follow the steps below.
Install TWRP and root as per @jcadduono's thread. Don't forget to thank him. You can also root via ODIN using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root but note that you will still need TWRP for this guide.
Install Busybox.
Download this audio_effects.conf file and replace the one in /system/etc.
Visit this link, have a read if you want, then download the file from the Dropbox link provided near the bottom.
Download the latest version of Viper4Android from the XDA thread. Copy the APK into /system/priv-app and change its permissions to 644, reboot then run the now installed V4A application, installing the drivers when asked and granting root access.
Freeze or uninstall Sound Alive.
Power off and boot into TWRP. Flash the downloaded zip from step 4, reboot.
Viper should now work fine without needing compatibility mode.
The sound quality once set up correctly is absolutely fantastic, far better than the old Qualcomm DAC on my old Note 3 even with V4A running.
Hit the thanks button if you find this helpful.
EDIT -- @Zyxxeil has created a zip file which does all the above, bar install TWRP, root and busybox, which you still need to do before hand. Download this and install from TWRP. Don't forget to thank him on this post in this thread.

I followed your steps, driver is installed just not processing.
Any idea's ?
Should I disable the stock music fx apps ?

Sorry, yes. Freeze or disable Sound Alive. OP updated.

Just sound alive, not adapt sound ?
Tried with both and just sound alive disabled.
Still not processing.
Gonna try uninstalling the apk and reinstalling

I just disabled Sound Alive, but I mainly did that because on Lollipop Spotify refused to work unless that was done. I've not tried leaving it enabled here, it could work but disabling it does no harm.
Just to point out the driver will only be listed as processing when sound is running, I assume you're aware of that?

Same issue I had mate. Have to run it in compatibility mode, and it sounds awful like that.
@Beefheart - can you possibly post the files you used and a step by step instructional? It appears you may have done something different to me?

lol, yes i did know that.
maybe it could be my player, i am using the Sony music app.
What music app are you using?
LMFAO.... definately the player. POwer amp works.
thank you bro for all your help.

Actually - which Audio player are you using out of interest? Mine was having problems and I was using poweramp...

I am so happy to have viper back, first Sammy phone. Was not happy with the stock experience.

Can anyone explain to me how V4A is supposed to improve audio quality. I don't mean any of the optional processing tools (e.g. EQ, bass boost,...).

No worries mate. OP updated with step by step instructions, although it's pretty much the same as it was just easier to read. It simply worked for me without requiring compatibility mode. Perhaps if you remove the V4A drivers, uninstall V4A then install both the app and drivers again. Also, it won't hurt to install the fix zip from TWRP again.
I'm using a combination of Spotify and GoneMad for music playback.

Could I be cheeky and ask if poweramp works for you with it? Its sounding like an issue with poweramp now.
Rich

Don't like Poweramp but will check now mate.
EDIT -- Strange. I installed Poweramp trial but I'm not getting any sound from it, regardless of what music codec I attempt to play (tried mp3, FLAC and ogg). I then load up GoneMad and it works fine. I'll do more digging.

@riso123, might have found your issue. Finally got sound working but Viper wasn't being used by Poweramp. Go into Poweramp settings, Audio, Advanced Tweaks and unselect Direct Volume Control.

Unfortunately that's the first thing I did and it didn't make a difference.
I'm not overly fussed, as neutron appears to provide as good or even better sound that v4a for me at the moment. I'm pretty sure now that this looks like a PowerAmp issue however and may have a play tonight with other options.
I did have other strange noisy artifacts when I used Google play with v4a however, although I never played with the settings to identify the fault.
Thanks for your help mate. Appreciate it.

Strange. That being ticked or unticked on mine is the difference between Viper being used or not (processing Yes/No). By default Poweramp did not use Viper.
Can I suggest you download the GoneMad trial and see if it works with that. If not it's nothing to do with the player as that works out the box with mine so to speak, with no adjustments required. It might be worth starting the whole thing from scratch again.

Yeah, I removed v4a last night when I started using neutron. I may have another go tonight though. It is strange how our devices seem to differ on this though.

Neutron is decent and offers a lot of options, but it's worlds apart from Viper when it comes to adjusting dynamics and getting the perfect sound. Good luck in getting it working.

Uck sake! Could have saved myself a few quid if id been more patient! Yes, GoneMad works fantastic with v4a!
Now, to purchase or not to purchase?

Best music player on Android in my view. I don't like the poncey graphics and over the top effects the likes of Poweramp and Neutron employ. GoneMad is simple, supports every codec out there, and has a fantastic UI.

[Q] Flash Video on Infuse 4g

Hi Guys,
I'm running Infused v 2.2.3, and Adobe Flash v 11. I'm having trouble playing flash videos in all the browsers including Opera, the page loads but I just see a black screen and no video or audio. I've tried re-installing flash but it didn't work.
Could you please advise? It seems to be playing for all videos under 240p, but nothing above.
i just loaded flash 11, im on Miui....but it seemed to play fine. i even did the hack and got Hulu running it no Prob.
It seems to just be happening with HD flash videos of 360p and higher, but other smaller flash videos run just fine. I think it might be the Infused ROM limitation.
How do you like Miui? I was thinking of flashing that ROM, but not sure if it'll be worth setting everything up again.
Opera does not support flash. At least Opera Mini does not. I have never tried the other one.
I'm on Infused 2.2.3 also, and have no problem getting them to load in Dolphin Browser

+1 on dolphin browser hd. best browser in the market.
Try this link please:
http://www.viki.com/channels/1274-giant/videos/10640/1
see if you guys can view it, and if you can please let me know ROM/browser/Flash version.
Thanks for all the support!
i could not get that one to play either.
yeah... that video is running on 360p, which I think is why. Other flash objects/videos with lower resolution runs fine. But it's weird because before I rooted my phone, it was able to play on stock ROM.
The viki video plays fine for me. Though I did have to change something to make it work. The problem lies that both MIUI and Infused v 2.3.3 has ad blocking via hosts.
If you use root explorer go into systems/etc/ and change the host file into host.bak then restart your browser and play that video again it will play just fine. Not sure about other videos though. But all the videos that I have tried works

I'm guessing this would disable the ad blocker completely until you rename it back to host. I have not been able to isolate which host is causing it to block the ads that show up in video. You could always google for a new host file that allows you to watch videos on site like viki.
Personally I don't care if I have to go through a little ads if I can watch my video ^^

[Q] Music gives pauses while playing!

Hi Everyone..
I've a strange problem and i tried a lot searching the solution of it over the net and here as well, but in vain. I recently flashed my ROM and since then i'm having this issue. When ever i turn any feature on in DSP manager , tracks while playing start to give a short pauses. Any one having the same issue and any luck with solution of it? I'm currently using "SGH-T959V" Firmware 2.3.6 of Gingerbread-VUVKJ6.
When i turn it off, it plays fine but i need to use the enhancement, because without it, sound is not so good.
Please any advice or suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Can you please give us more information? What ROM are you using? Can you provide a LogCat?
Also DSP manager is built for CyanogenMod, so there might be missing libraries or any sort of extra stuff.

Actually i'm kind of a newbie to this android thingy, so please bear my unawareness of things. Previously i was using Valhala black edition, and i thought trying any other ROM would help so i shifted to another ROM, called "unnamed" based on Stock KJ6, using the kernal "bhundven's v0.1.1-rc2". I really don't know what LogCat is and where its found in device. Might a little guidance help.
Thanks in advance
I don't know why he said DSP was "built" for CM. The problem you are having is known and will likely be fixed by disabling the equalizer in the app.

Just the EQ. If you really like to use the EQ settings just find a player that has one installed. It's an annoying issue for sure. It is however well known and no one has been able to fix it that I'm aware of.

Yes i seems like its useless to work anymore. However, i found another plug-in and it works like a charm. So its okay to keep DSP aside!

Aslamixer..... Does it work?

Installed the .apk by clicking it or placing it in the /system/app/ folder?
If you placed it in the app folder with the other file reboot the phone and see if it recognizes it and works.

Couldn't help you there. I use Handcent SMS Pro Beta. I also buy their yearly subscriptions for $9.99. I can send out a text list and the schedule them to send if I want to send them at a certain time. IT has many options. If you do decide to use Handcent go to your applications>All and disable Messaging to turn of the stock application or you will get double alerts.

He isn't asking about a messaging app. OP is talking about boosting his BT audio.
@op - Have you tried the Viper4Audio mod? I used this for my earbuds and BT connection for my car audio. It makes a huge difference. There is a link for it under the S3 apps and theme section.
The Synergy custom ROM and probably many others have options for boosting audio playback on headphones and bluetooth, which I think is what you are asking. its not really clear what you are seeking, but it you mean media playback on A2DP on bluetooth, then ramble over the the development section.

Hi! I´m user of your greatfull EMUMI rom . Maybe this night I´ll give a try to this CMZero11, you can tell more about what can i find inside? (applications, possibilities...) One of the things i care about in a rom for the UMI ZERO it´s the sound (this device have an awfull quality of sound with the headphones at high levels of volume with any rom, your EMUMI seems to be the best equalizing the sound for the better experience with the device) Have you try this in the CMZero11? and a last question... Do you think this audio problem can be solved at all or its a sound chip problem? Thanks for all your hard work!! (and sorry for my bad english! im spanish, i think you can understand me better if i write in spanish than english the next time XD)

I can connect to wifi but I have a strange nvram-access point in my WiFi list.
And the biggest problem with that rom is that I can't play videos which I've recorded with this phone. The sound plays well but the picture is frozen in the first frame. Tried it already with mxplayer, quickpic player and the standard video player app.
BTW. Its the same in the YouTube app. I just can play videos up to 360p. 720p or 1080p doesn't work. The phone gets also really hot when playing videos. It seems hardware decoding doesn't work
Ciao
Hello @arcatarc, I tried the rom and is very fast. But I have these bugs:
1.- The camera doesn't record.
2.- When I call someone and I want to do something the screen is in black and I must to press two times the power button to unlock the phone.
I call today and the problem was solved, it works well now.
3.- The phone doesn't charge when it's off, the animation doesn't appear. To charge it I must turn it on.
New 4.- The recorder doesn't work (apps like Shazam or the native recorder doesn't work).
Thanks!

Hulu play issues

Anybody able to use Hulu and play it? I can stream it to my Chromecast, but I can't play it on the Mate 9. My mate 9 isn't rooted or anything. It can play the advertisements, but after the ads the screen is dark. Anybody have similar experience?
Network instabilities apart, It happened to me for a while on a Samsung galaxy tab A 2016 10.1 running marshmallow. It stopped after webview got updated.
It can be related, but I ain't sure. Haven't experienced anything similar on the mate 9, but since on nougat webview is handled directly from chrome, just for the sake of testing, go to developer options and check out which webview implementation you are using. If it is chrome stable, install chrome dev or canary on the play store and change webview according to it.
Another small option that is worth trying is "enable multi-process webview".
Still stuck

THANKS FOR THE INSITE! Really learned a bit by diving into those dev settings. Sadly didn't work in either case.

Current Hulu Build
Everything works but the show. Even stranger...I get navigation, pre-rolls, and the icon in the player (NBC, or ABC, Fox...Whatever) and if I seek on the OSD the thumbnails show the scene. All of that and yet the screen is black, aside from said logo.

Just enabled CLOSED CAPTION to see if it were somehow playing behind a black box, of sorts, and it wasn't. C.C. revealed that the show or movie simply won't start. It does all the other roll and the screen goes to the player, but their player won't initiate no matter what I do.

GOOD NEWS. After an hour with Hulu support on chat they were able to resolve the issue. They have to change the player that your phone uses. They tried a few different ones and finally it worked. Been playing various shows now with no problem. So when you talk to them tell them they need to switch your mobile devices app player
It's an internal player thing, they change the app inside the hulu app itself.

GOOD NEWS. After an hour with Hulu support on chat they were able to resolve the issue. They have to change the player that your phone uses. They tried a few different ones and finally it worked. Been playing various shows now with no problem. So when you talk to them tell them they need to switch your mobile devices app player

Unfortunately not, let's say the app receives an x264 stream from Hulu, they have to change it on their end so the server pushes a different format the Mate 9 supports.

Just go to your phone settings on your Huawei mate 9. go to apps/hulu and force stop. Then try hulu app again. should work.....

I tried that 100 times while on support with Hulu, with no luck. It wasn't until they told me they had to change the player that it started working. I can tell the stream coming to my Mate 9 is different because I can no longer toggle the quality option, it sets the resolution depending on the available bandwidth.
I contacted them and implemented the fix but the quality looks like crap. I might be getting rid of the phone since it has many quirks that kind of irk me. Gonna miss the battery life though.
I called and they need to change the player on the backside but the quality really isn't good
I finally got it working. I can select quality, etc.
Ended up flashing to B183. I have the 6GB version now from China. So I went from China->International->USA (C567)
Now on 183, works perfectly. I was extremely surprised
Let me know if anyone gets it to work on the 181 firmware.

How did you rebrand to c567?
There's a main thread around here somewhere about "rebranding".
