Viper4Android for Samsung Note 5 N920C

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if the Viper4Android sound mod could be ported for Galaxy Note5?
I tried the one in the Viper thread but it seems to break the in-call audio on my Note5 (N920C Dual Sim).
Any thoughts on this?
Its simply the best audio mod (Combined with MaxxAudio)
Thanks!:good:
UPDATE:
Thanks to 'Lo Xa' for pointing me to this link ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/themes-apps/viper4android-note-5-t3192400 <--- (Install Viper4Android from here)
Follow the 'Steps' part of it ONLY and you will be good to go. (First 2 steps will be okay if you want Viper4Android only (without IRS))
Also, if you want to maximize your sound experience, top it up with MaxxAudio zip (attached). It will result in out of world experience. Try out and please post your experience/results.
Step to Install MaxxAudio.zip:
1. Install the Viper4Android and setup in the phone as shared in the above link.
2. Reboot to recovery.
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
4. Install zip
5. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache again
6. Reboot System
Enjoy heavenly sound! (Test your in-call functionality to be sure if its working. Its working for me in my N920C Dual)
Thanks and Credits to Original Teams who have created the Viper and MaxxAudio zip files.

Thanks, will give it a try and post the results. Hope nothing else breaks
Edit: Tried. Not working. Same results as before.
Any other suggestions please?

I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/themes-apps/viper4android-note-5-t3192400. Mine is 920C (1 sim only) and confirm it works. Don't forget to use Titanium and freeze Sound Alive 3.0. Hope it could help you! Good luck.

Thanks! It worked
OP Updated for future folks

Here's What I did on my N920C
Config
* Arter97 Kernel
* Stock Odex Rom with Xposed V75
How I did
* Download Viper APK from the Viper Homepage
* Moved Viper FX Apk (4.4+ Version) to System/app using rootexplorer
* Reboot
* Install Driver as Requested by Viper, Reboot Again
* Open Viper and Enable Headset Master Power, All else untouched! (Why would I want viper to handle my phone speaker? I don't use it for music)
* UI Setting - Expert Mode / FX Compatible Mode - Compatible
* On Music Player - Disable UHQ Upscaler / Enable SoundAlive+ (Yes! Enabled)
* Reboot
Ops
Now, If I want UHQ, I just enable it from Music Player, and I disable Viper from Master Power
If I want to go with Viper, Enable from Master Power and re-disable UHQ. These changes work without reboot in realtime
Observations
I need UHQ Mode, because it's the best when you're listening to FLAC Tracks. But on MP3 Tracks, UHQ upscaler is poor. So whenever it's MP3, I use Viper. My Phone Calls are working, No Audio loss, and Best of both worlds (Viper and UHQ) are available. Also, Viper along with Soundalive+ enabled (not UHQ, The option below that) is a perfect combination. Increasing surround in viper just generates a pretty fake effect, whereby keeping viper surround at Effect level 1 and setting SoundAlive+ to On makes it more realistic.
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for detailing out. It does help a lot. :good:

Does anyone know how to get Viper4android to work with system sounds? I like increasing the system volume. But it doesn't seem to register. Headphones do no worries.

Maxxaudio broke Viper sound on Spotify, now only works on poweramp, not in streaming services.
How to uninstall it?

Viper4.... (fix thanks Team Audax Rom) working perfectly on the note 5 (N920C) works on all players also spotify, Netflix, etc ...

Can you tell me what to do with the zip? Thanks.

If you're talking about the MaxxAudio zip file, it is already mentioned in the Steps of the OP.
For installation of Viper4Android, there is a link in the OP to another thread which explains its installation in detail.

Urgent!

Dude, it deleted my SoundAlive..
How can I get it back now? :'(
Can you at least confirm that it got deleted on your Note 5 as well?
And if so, we need someone to provide us the original SoundAlive now!

And one more thing i need to installed Xtreme music effect?
Or just Walkman working fine without Xtreme music?

If you just want the Walkman UI without the Sony features like sound effects, audio settings etc., you can use ES File Explorer to make the Walkman app as a system app and use it. I use Walkman app daily and my version is 9.1.7.A.1.0.

I installed Walkman now...but there is no visualizer and clear sound effect option.
I have installed...extreme music also...
Installed viper driver.

You can try and flash it I guess but there might be some compatibility issues. Also if you want to remove it, you might face some hiccups.

[APP][Mod] Soundcloud/ compatible with viper4android (1.05.18)

Hey people, I hacked Soundcloud to work with Viper4Android.
Since Soundcloud uses its own built-in media player, V4A could not process its music. I fixed that!
I plan on updating this thread for every new stable release. Don't ask me to mod the beta versions. Enjoy:good:
Version: 2017.05.30-release
Easy Method (not recommended)
Use this modded soundcloud apk. Profit.
Warning: Offline playback does not process with V4A with this apk. I'm trying to fix this
Warning 2: If you use this method, streaming cache gets broken in Soundcloud. Which is why I recommend scrolling down just a tad more
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Since for some reason I only took one post when I made this thread, let's just act like post #2 starts here
Alternate (BETTER) Method
Soundcloud V4A processing can be fixed by modifying /system/ect/audio_policy.conf (HUGE thanks to @DKnightX91 for the tip)
Open your audio_policy.conf (each device's file is different, so for now there's no one fix all) and remove these lines:
Code:
low_latency {
AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_EARPIECE|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADSET|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADPHONE|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ALL_SCO|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_AUX_DIGITAL
flags AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_FAST }
*lines may vary based on device. Just remove everything between the 'low_latency' brackets
Then, you can use regular Soundcloud from the play store with V4A.
Edit: Newer roms don't seem to use the audio_policy.conf, so if you're unable to locate that file, I inquire that you refer to this post. It seems that deep_buffer causes issues with V4A and removing it properly can fix it.​

Thanks for this, I don't really use Soundcloud but now this is here I might have to in the future

thanks for this, thread subscribed =) been wanting this for a while now

I have found a version of V4A 2.5.0.5 by guitardedhero which somehow works for me with default soundcloud.
Even on Nougat.
Tested it on bacon and hammerhead both same result

Awesome, tested here with my RR 5.7.4 and it worked like a charm, thank you
I use soundcloud too much. And will use even more now!

U are my hero I tried to get soundcloud to work with v4a for ages as i use it a lot (probably like the one above me xD)

Nice! Really nice! Just gonna try if navbar equalizer module works with it

Holy Crap, it works!!! Thank you soo much mate:laugh::good:

Same here, on op3 AOSiP.
While v4a does not work with any music app except oneplus music on Oxygen (based) op3 roms. Maybe this helps in that scenario.

On HTC 10 viper 5.4 all ok thank you

This is a post i created in a bacon rom thread.
First flash zip file from first link, then update the via zip installed v4a app with the apk in second link.
For me Soundcloud works with this setup on bacon and hammerhead both 7.1.1.
Remember to have Selinux on permissive to make V4A working at all.

Wait...This is a modded SoundCloud? How does this work?

Thanks so very much, now I have soundcloud working with Dolby Atmos ?
Great work.

Still not working on Google Pixel 7.1.1. I don't understand why SoundCloud needs to use its own player. Xposed and SoundCloud not processing were some of the main reasons I didn't want to go to Nougat.

Works perfectly, but when you decide to download the music for SoundCloud Go, it stops processing and only processes what's streamed. Any chance you could look into this?

Viper4android?

Is there anyway to get v4a working on nouget? I tired the method the the regular s7 forum but it didn't work.

Look for Viper4Android V2.3.4.0 here on XDA (the one that works without the Selinux permission and has a higher audio fidelity than the newer versions and has the better UI IMO) then flash that puppy. Check if it works and if not you have to Google "Viper4Android on nougat" and it will give you a bypass that has you erase a stock audio file that prevents Viper4Android from working. This wasn't the case for me since I didn't have that file. The version I speak of has Dolby audio; I erased that because it just added more static IMO. I had this with the dual audio mod for a while but it didn't seem to make a difference but add more static.
If this works for you, please update the main post with credit to those sources. If you also want some settings for some Fire Audiophile experience, please ask; I run heavy bass that doesn't drown out music and makes Beats sound way better.

You and only you are responsible for the decisions you make when modifying your phone
* Dual Speaker Sound Mod install instructions and download link for Pie and Oreo (TWRP,Safestrap)
Pie/Oreo Dual Speaker Mod
To install just simply flash the zip in Safestrap (TWRP)
Alternatively you can download (I attached the file) flash into Safestrap (TWRP) mount system then use file manager to back up your original found in /system/vendor/etc by copying it to sdcard or renaming it to mixer_paths_tavil.bak (i already have mine saved so i just deleted it). Select the modded file you downloaded and copy it to /system/vendor/etc then select it again to change permissions (chmod) to 0644 and voila'

Enjoy the mod :victory:​
The mod works best and is compatible with a lot of apps/mods especially stereo enabling apps as this mod only makes the phone dual speaker so it will will be mono dual speaker unless you have something installed that makes it surround sound stereo. JamesDSP, Dolby Atmos,
V4A ect.
*note to devs, you may include this mod in your ROM's without asking me first just make sure to give credits :angel:

Are you on nougat or oreo?
I should have noted that those mods only work with root and therefore only on Nougat (besides the two different versions of Dolby)
V4A only supports stereo with bluetooth, aux or usb audio output and not from phone speakers idk why
Dolby Atmos was adapted to be used on Nougat that is separate version from the s9 version that was ported for Oreo s8 (safestrap) but they both make stereo
If you are on oreo I'd suggest using Dolby port for stereo... it's basically the only option.
I'm on Oreo and have Dolby the only playstore app I use is Precise Volume but if you're on rooted nougat I'd explore root options

Thanks for the info. Im on Nougat. But its no big deal to me about not having stereo. Mono is better than nothing.

Yes just search for "earpiece" on the file.
I set it to a so-called highest "safe value" of 95 (stock is 84) but I've known someone that set it to 145 haha it's all up to you how loud you want to set it for just remember that the top speaker isn't the same as the bottom one but both have ghe same stock values and it isn't built to be super loud. With that being said, this is only my opinion, phones are meant to be used and replaced so why not use my phone and enjoy it. Adjust at your own risk. This mod won't make up for the S9/S9+/N9 speaker system but it is something at least and it does work in calls on "speaker" phone as well
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="95"/>

Thanks man! Great mod.
