Trying to get Viper4FX sound mod to work with my Honor8

Hey guys,
I'm into the Android from the very beginning and I would love to get rid of a problem which is driving me crazy for some time
I was trying to flash the Viper driver to get the great sound quality again. I'm now on the latest nougat.
Already unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and flashed the TWRP. Saw an thread about how to install it properly on the Honor8 and I did everything correct in my opinion.
I have the 1.26.2-meefik busybox now installed in system/xbin path (which seems to be working correctly overall) and otherwise everything seems working good except that when I try to open the Viper it says that I don't have root OR that i have to install the driver, and after pressing yes my phone just reboots and does the very same thing as previously.
Am I missing something?
Feel free to ask something more if you need.

I had this same situation, just kept installing the driver, reboot, repeat, making no progress... I finally got mine to work thank goodness! Are you remembering to use a root file Explorer and go to /vendor/etc and rename the file named audio_effects.config to audio_effects.config.bak after flashing but before installing V4A? That was my main problem. And you have to be sure to do it on a clean setup, so if you've already installed V4A you need to clean out and start again. Also u need a kernel auditor to set selinux to permissive upon boot. These two steps are key...

Have same problem but this fix BigBrad75 gave didn't work.

Isn't that what I suggested? Not being a smarta**, but seriously wondering if I have got a step messed up or backwards or something...? Cause it gave me tons of trouble till I finally got lucky and it actually took

I got same problem, solutions for my was:
1. install BusyBox by Meefik ( Google play)
2. install Kernel Adiutor ( https://github.com/yoinx/kernel_adiutor/raw/master/download/app/app-release.apk ) ( Kernel Adiutor from Google play dont work)
3. opem BusyBox tap Install
4. open Kernel Adiutor and go to Misc Controls, change Current SELinux Status: Permissive (after reboot SELinux stay premissive :good
5. flash Viper4 via TWRP
6. go to folder: root/vendor/etc and rename file from audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak
7. open Viper4
8. Install driver (thats can take 1-3 min)
9. reboot - done

Hi Rommco05,
there are different versions of V4A floating around. Which Version of Viper4Android did you use? Download from where?

[OUTDATED] Sound Mods Working +Install guide

/////
THIS GUIDE WAS FROM THE NOVEMBER SECURITY PATCH ON NOUGAT!!! DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE ON OREO CAUSE YOU WILL LOSE ALL SOUND!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE VIPER ON OREO/PIE DEVICES. PLEASE USE THE MAGISK MODULE AND/OR FIND A BETTER GUIDE WITH A COMPATIBLE ZIP
//////
Okay I have confirmed that sound mods work on the Moto z2 force with no issues whatsoever many probably know that
How to Install:
1.
make sure you have root and TWRP installed on your Moto Z2 force
2.
download this version of A.R.I.S.E.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141554
3.
Place the zip file in the Internal storage of your device (so its easy to find)
4.
Boot into TWRP recovery and click install
5.
Find the file you put in your internal storage named;
ARISE+Deuteronomy+2.94+Modular+AROMA+Installer.zip
And then swipe to install
6
An install wizard should appear and assuming that you haven't used this before select easy mode on the wizard and make sure you have it set to "install core engine then modules" and spam the hell out of the next button besides those 2 things
7.
TWRP screen should appear and you should boot into your device like normal
8.
ENJOY
SOME NOTES:
A.R.I.S.E AM3D DOES NOT WORK BUT OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE
Update: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL MAGNUM OPUS IT WILL FAIL

Man.. I was going to try ARISE, but with all the concerns that I couldn't restore a nandroid because of data partition encryption, I just said screw it and I installed the v4a 2.3.4 module right from Magisk, and it works great with both USB Type-C to 3.5mm and Bluetooth.
I don't know if anyone's noticed or not, but Oreo has an entire section on Bluetooth audio protocol under the development options. Things like sample rate, bit rate, etc etc. I do know that v4a works with all protocols (SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC), but if you up the sample rate to 96khz, it will NOT process. I usually use 48khz and it sounds great.

I installed arise and lost all audio on device . I don't know if it's a setting or something in aroma I should not have added or if it's viper settings I messed with .
I need to uninstall this how do I
Or how do I get sound back this is weird

Yes sir, I am. Since I got it working, I haven't touched anything in fear that it'll stop working. I haven't even made a nandroid. Twrp isn't installed, I just booted in it from adb.

Right on! I was also advised not to install TWRP. I flashed it and it seems to be working so far. Having other issues though like my camera and flash (flashlight) don't work now since installing magisk or the v4a which one I'm not sure but I assume magisk.
3/12/18 Update: camera and Flash are working properly now after a wipe Dalvik, cache and reboot.

Is anyone else having issues with viper4android working intermittently on Oreo? Sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't and I have no way to control it, toggling the switches does nothing and it doesn't matter if I reboot or not. It does work sometimes so I know the drivers are installed, and I've tried a fresh install a few times using the 2.3.4 version and the newest 5.0 version which produces the same result.
Is there a setting in magisk or Viper that I need to apply to to get it working seamlessly? I have systemless hosts check-in magisk already for ad blocking. There's got to be something I'm missing here. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

I was having this situation, the I disabled the music FX and it's gone for now

Flashlight stops because of selinux

Dolby Atmos for oreo works fine without any problems. You just have to find the working version in the last few pages of the mod thread.

Was able to get the latest ARISE, plus V4A, and Dolby ATMOS Oreo from guitardedhero working. I'm using SuperSU as I'm not a fan of Magisk. Flashed the latest ARISE, including the V4A 2.5.0.5. Crap, I made sure V4A opened and checked that the drivers were installed. But I may have flashed the ViPER4Android_FX_v2505_A7.x_Nougat_IO_test_fix.apk over the ARISE loaded v4a apk....? Try to see if the loaded apk works first. If not, flash Nougat_IO_test_fix.apk over: ViPER4Android_FX_v2505.zip Anyway, use this to set permissive: The.SELinux.Switch.ver.6.0.3.build.603.apk. Reboot. ARISE libs will be there and V4A should work. Sometimes you have to turn off the main power button for the V4A mod, go up to the corner button and exit. Clear out anything in recents. Then open V4A back up, and enable the power button. If music is playing, you will hear the change.
Ok.....Dolby. Go HERE and download the normal zip. Thank the dude, he's done a lot for us audiophiles. Flash it. Reboot. Apps will be there, and will likely forceclose. You have to extract the dolby zip and copy the libs from the dolby/lib and dolby/lib/soundfx files and paste them in the related folders in root /system/vendor and system/vendor/soundfx. You need to set the permissions to rw-r-r (644). Now save/reboot. Apps should work. I'm betting other libs/files weren't installed either, but just those got Atmos working, working well. Still looking through things and will verify later what else wasn't placed.:good:

Quick Question, I have used ARISE and Viper before and really like them but this is a Software Mod. I would just like to clarify that this Software Mod works on the actual Hardware Mod and if it does, does this Software Mod work on the Hardware Mod using a Custom ROM or Kernal? Can anyone confirm that yet?

Sorry about this... You may have to back up your internal then flash back to stock. This guide was from when our device was still on nougat. For Oreo I need you to install the module from MAGISK or find the magnum opus zip

Has anyone succeeded in getting Viper4Android FX to work?

I have a rooted Honor 6x. This is the setting time I am installing the app and each time it refuses to work, apparently because the driver will not install. I also have the Magisk module installed. Following advice on the internet, I copied the audio.effects.conf folder from system/etc (which had been modified by the installation, I think) to system/vendor/etc but there was no change. I also installed Busybox from the play store and nothing changed. Someone also mentioned changing audio.effects.conf in system/etc to audio.effects.conf.bak but I cannot, probably because of encryption.
I am at my wits end. The most annoying thing is that the first thing I see when I unlock my phone from a reboot is the damn app asking me to install the driver, which never gets installed. How do you guys get it to work?

[CLOSED](MOD) Center/Right Clock Magisk Module - OnePlus 7 Pro with OxygenOS firmware

Hi,
with pleasure I share the module for center/right clock in the status bar, the module is created by @Tulsadiver, tested by me on Oneplus 7 Pro with firmware version as specified file name.
ESSENTIAL PREREQUISITE: BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOD, IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL, IF NOT PRESENT, THE "OVERLAY MOUNT FIX" MODULE BY @Zackptg5 DOWNLOADABLE FROM MAGISK MANAGER, WITHOUT THIS THE CLOCK MODULE WILL NOT WORK!
It is a magisk module and I want to repeat that it can only be used on Oneplus 7 Pro.
The module can only be used with the firmware release indicated in the file name, it will be my commitment to update the thread with the release of future updates.
I'm trying it and it doesn't seem to show any problems but I still recommend making a backup before trying it.
To remove the mod, simply uninstall the module using magisk manager or, if this is not usable, from recovery twrp, using the file manager deleting the module "OP7_VrThemer_OPSystemUI" that you find at the following path:
/data/adb/modules
Update: How to remove the module in case of failure (procedure valid for any magisk module):
Turn off the phone by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds.
Turn the phone back on.
After the "Bootloader Unlocked" warning appears, press and hold down the "Volume up" and "Volume down" keys at the same time, until the startup animation appears.
The phone will boot correctly but will be operating in "Safe mode".
Now restart your phone normally.
The phone will boot in standard operating mode but with all magisk modules disabled.
Remove the magisk module that caused the problem and enable your other modules and reboot one last time.
The phone operating as if nothing had happened
My biggest, massive, THANKS go to @Tulsadiver, for sending me his xml file with the modifications necessary to obtain the movement of the clock and for passing me Its VRThemer module, without your help I could not have avoided the bootloop ... I can say that the mod is all from @Tulsadiver, the mod is all the result of his work and his expertise, I have only been a tester and shared his fantastic work with you.
Thanks also to @dladz, for giving me his support and advice!
Attention each module you find in this post is specific to the firmware indicated in the file name, with each new firmware it will be my concern to release the new updated module.
Flashing always at your own risk!!!
To be installed only with Magisk Manager, if installed by TWRP it does not work.
Please read all indications before proceeding with the installation, module has been tested and is working on the OxygenOS 10 and OxygenOS 11 based firmware, NOT tested with other firmware and non-OxygenOS based roms.
P.S. To complete the information, I have not had the opportunity to try the same module with other firmware versions, it could work but I have no way of knowing, if you decide to try remember that it should only be used on Oneplus 7 Pro with firmware OxygenOS 10 and OxygenOS 11 and that you do at your own risk. I test the module with the firmware specified in the file name before publishing it, if it is here for you it means that it has not given me any problems.
Flashing always at your own risk!!!

This sounds awesome. Thank you very much. I know it's a lot to ask, but would you be able to make a version that moves the clock to the right? That would be truly amazing if at all possible

Check your pm

You should post the right clock as well

Just a humble request, can you create a telegram group to support and test your module, it will be faster

Added to the first post mod for right clock and updated the module for center clock (if you want to update remove the old release, restart and install the new one).
I await your feedback.
Thanks to @Tulsadiver for his patience in supporting me and for his great availability!

New update of the "center clock" module, fixed clock displayed in the lockscreen defect, I recommend removing those installed up to now and replace with the latter released

Thanks for the mod. I tried the right clock mod but it did not work. Just to be fair, I tried on stable OS 10.3.5 and NOT on beta OS. Mod installed w/o any errors and I can see this mod installed in the Magisk Manager but clock is still on the left side. Rebooted twice, still no go. May be the beta 18 OS is the only OS that support this module. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Sorry my mistake, try like this:
Remove the right clock module
Restart
Install "Overlay mount fix" module by @Zackptg5 from magisk manager
Restart
Reinstall the clock module
The overlay mount fix module is necessary for the mod to work and I forgot to write it, sorry.
I await feedback

Installed right clock on beta 18,not working.

I know it worked for someone else but it really messed up my phone. Phone boots fine but screen is dark i.e. no display anymore. I am on OS 10.3.5 and the current Magisk 20.4. I'll use the fast boot zip when I get home to bring the phone back to life. Thanks!

Go to recovery, with the integrated file manager function, delete the module "OP7_VrThemer_OPSystemUI" that you find at the following path: /data/adb/modules and reboot

That did the trick. Thanks for your help. My phone came back to life and working fine
So, is it safe to say that right side clock module only work with OS 18 beta and not the latest stable OS 10.3.5?
Thanks again for your help.

Happy it's back to normal, it's a trick to keep in mind for emergency situations.
The change itself is the same for all versions of oxygenos based on android 10, it probably changes something else in the apk and as a consequence the .xml file compiled with the mod, crashes your opsystemui.
I sent you a p.m.

I can confirm that mod works fine on Beta 19 as well? Thanks

Great news, however as soon as I update my phone, I check that there are no major changes related to the apk and eventually update the modules to avoid instability.

Question Anyone get ViperFX functional on their OP9?

received Buds Z for my OP9 purchase and have very slowly converting to the new phone (rooting, stability and assure privacy issues were addressed) and was very happy with their performance with my rooted OP6 on A11-Pixen OS with ViperFX. Without VIper, the sound is lackluster. even a downloadable EQ makes minimal difference.
Attempting to convert fully to OP9 today and installed viperFX mod form magisk but when I attempt to perform the initial launch to download and install the driver, the phone just reboots without actually getting the driver installed. Im not sure if its a hardware compatibility issue or the fact the OP9 root isnt as full and fleshed out like the one on my OP6. (something about DM verify and/or selinux enforcement? idk, I am pretty lame at the deep understanding of android 11s workings)
I know there are a few other magisk mod for audio listed and more that i could possibly find that arent and add myself via zip installation but even if one ends up working, I will still be aiming for VIperFX as my preferred solution.
If anyone has a solution, plz reply (or whatever possible replacement you've chosen)
PS. I swore the buds z touch controls were suppose to be customizable. anyone else unable to set custom controls for them?

In magisk, install "audio modification library". That should fix the driver issue.
To customize the touch controls, go in Settings, bluetooth and device connections, bluetooth, settings cog next to the buds, headphones. Now you can customize them. Not a lot of options though.
You might need to install the oneplus buds app first.

Same issue. Tried ACP as well, just gave up on it and using the inferior built-in Atmos

No, but I did install James DSP and it's working just fine.

@applyscience
After alot of trail and error I finally got ViperFX working on my OP9 !
You must install magisk-permissive-script_v1.2 and audio modification library modules in Magisk and of course the ViperFX

Glad you got it working! I wonder why I didn't need to do that
Hopefully it works for everyone else.

Just use JamesDSP. Same functionality as Viper, and works 100% of the time.

Can you tell me how you got it working in more detail? Because this isn't working for me

Okay it randomly worked for me after installing the BusyBox magisk module, then the Audio compatibility module, then the Audio modification module and then viper. After that the driver installed but did not work. After setting the selinux mode to permissive and switching to legacy mode in viper it worked flawlessly.

Im trying for several hours now, i have tried everthing i found including this Thread
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-fix-100-working-viper4android-for-android-11-devices.4213647/)
Nothing worked for me anyone any idea, i have allready updatet to the latest OxygenOs (11.2.4.4.LE25BA) Maybe thats why it doesnt work?

Of course it needs root, magisk without root is kind of pointless.
