I just downloaded the Viper4ANDROID XHIFI Mod on my rooted Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3 and also has BusyBox 1.21.1 installed
After installing V4A when I opened the app I was prompted with the driver I want to install; not knowing which is the right one for me I selected CortexAX with NEON (please advise me on the best to choose)
After that I repeatedly got the message "Driver install failed. Please confirm your phone has been rooted and busybox installed" - both of which has been done already. No matter which driver I select, I keep getting the same error.
I previously installed the V4A available on the Play Store but thought of getting the one straight from XDA
Please advise on how to get the driver installed and which is the right one for me
Many thanks!

There's a reply the official thread mentioning mounting with Terminal Emulator. I don't have enough post count to ask that member if there is anything necessary after installing drivers, like unmounting, or anything else.

Did you ever solve this issue? I'm seeing the same problem.
Hello
Viper4Android XHIFI project has been stopped now by the developer .First try different drivers during installation .If it doesn't work try reinstalling busybox , it happened to me sometime back . Before that try V4A FX app also if it works then XHIFI may be incompatible . Last chance is to get the desired V4A driver (libv4a_xx_xx.so kernel file) from extracting apk and to place it in /system/lib/audio/ folder manually and reboot .
Hope it works

Thanks. V4A FX app appeared to install the driver fine, and I guess I don't need XHiFi if I have that. However, even though it is installed, it doesn't sound as if it is having any effect. I'll try uninstalling and re-installing it again.

Cheers ! Did you reboot after installing V4A FX driver ? If not do it and by itself V4A will be disabled and you should enable it in the master power controls in different sections (phone-speaker,headset,bluetooth,usb) of V4A app . Then you can modify each settings for your needs in realtime while hearing music . You can also check if driver is working or not in options/Driver Status . If any of these doesn't work use FX compatible mode in options .
Hit Thanks if it works !!

Things are working now, thanks. I wound up needing to remove XHiFI and V4A FX, then re-installed just V4A, re-installed the driver, rebooted, reset it to be default music effect, and it's working again.
I had this issue with my LG G2 (Verizon model) I was trying to install the Viper driver (High Quality sound) but my busybox couldn't install. "Unable to verify my root" error. So I tried a different route...
Use this app to install busybox (instead of the official one) and it should work.

Where can I find that kernel file? I am having the same issue. The message is "Driver Install Failed, the busybox found on your device does not work.
This usually means you installed the wrong or broken busybox, V4A needs stericson bisybox to work. if you sure about having installed the proper busybox, then please confirm your device has been totally rooted."
Phone- Sony Xperia C
1. My device is properly rooted.
2. Busybox is same to which the app redirects.
What are my options?

Try reinstalling busybox from this app and try again. Manual installation of V4A driver is not working now.

This fixed it for me:

Worked for me as well! Wondering if this is a recent problem as I've had Viper installed up to a few days ago. Had to install on a new phone, same model.
/////
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
!!!!DISCLAIMER!!!!!

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
Anyone got Viper working? I've installed the material one from here, audio compatibility patch etc but it doesn't seem to do anything?
I loaded some profiles into the folders and the app also crashes when I try and load one
About to test that right now.
Use the one in Magisk called Viper4Android FX not the legacy.
This one works for me.
Have been using it since day 1 after installing Magisk. Has been working, the same as the 6T.
yes here is a magisk module of VIPER4Android 2.7.1.0 magisk module i made based on APK so no other special things needed.
Just open app and it will ask for root and install drivers... will auto reboot and done...
download
Has anyone got a profile pack that works with this one?

Hi,
Thank you for the module you have created. I am attempting to use this on my op7p, but it does not appear to enable. I am rooted and used magisk to install the zip, then rebooted, then ran the program to install the driver. The profiles folder for viper is loaded to the root directory. Running audio on my Bluetooth headphones defaults to Dolby Atmos "balanced" mode, which I cannot disable without toggling audio sources. It seems to default into thinking they are wired speakers until I toggle between speakers and Bluetooth. After this, I can disable Atmos processing, but still no luck enabling viper. Additionally, attempting to enable the higher quality codecs in Dev options never takes, they seem to revert to system default as soon as I exit the menu.
Running viper shows "driver enabled: no", and "processing: no". Did I mess up a step of the installation, or is something missing from magisk/viper?

try to go to settings > Attach Audio effects and enable and then disable (while music is playing to see if you can tell a difference)
Hi, thank you for the quick reply. Toggling audio effects doesn't appear to have any audible differences, but if it is on, the status goes to "abnormal" and the audio format is unsupported.
Toggling master limiter enables/disabled driver status, and apparently my music player (pulsar) is not supported or recognized by viper. Using YouTube vanced I am showing that viper is indeed processing, and I can tell what is working or not. Looks like it's time to find another media player :fingers-crossed:
Do I need to do anything to the inbuilt Dolby before installing the V4A mod?
Thank you
Yes mate, go into settings for V4A and enable effects and master limiter. Then change song and you should be good to go. Also, go into the V4A folder. Move all of the files in the DDC-Orig folder and create a new folder called DDC and move the files into there. Now you should be able to use the profiles
I had to install the magisk modual first and then install the apk version from xda labs before it would work.
It now works on Spotify but not on other apps like bandcamp.
I got it working on my oneplus 7 pro by following this video on YouTube.

The thread title says it all. Does anyone know why V4A won't install properly on OB 12? If you install the drivers and reboot, it just asks you to do it all over again on reboot.
Install busybox with magisk, try use v4a legacy version. Try different v4a versions

I discovered the culprit for this. It's AML ( audio modification library) it's simply not compatible with v4a on the newest one plus firmware. As soon as I removed a AML, viper installed
On latest Oxygeon OS 10.3.4 having issues installing ViPER4Android legacy from Magisk.
It keeps asking to reinstall the driver....succeed, reboot...and back to the same message to reinstall the driver.
Does anyone have it working? What did you do?
ViPER4Android 2.7.1 install and Tasker automation
Managed to install the latest ViPER4Android 2.7.1 on Oxygen OS 10.3.4.
Installed the APK which creates a Magisk module and you can then update it from there.
You can find the latest version here: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx
Driver installs with no issues and seems to work fine though all profiles got converted to the new format it uses in 2.7.1
Tasker automation also broke since the app commands changed to kill/reload it. For anyone interested, these are the new shell commands to use in Tasker to automate bluetooth profile switching in Tasker.
Code:
cp /sdcard/Android/data/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx/files/Preset/Headphone1/bt_a2dp.xml /data/data/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx/shared_prefs/bt_a2dp.xml
killall process.ViPER4Android
am start -n com.pittvandewitt.viperfx/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx.MainActivity
Launch app: Spotify
Run each as root. Repeat for each device you want it to switch settings for. These actions are activated when a bluetooth headset connects.
I was in a fight to get V4A to work on my oneplus 9. In the end I did get it somewhat working.
1. Installed JamesDSP https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/jamesdsp-audio-manager-mmt-ex.3607970/
2. Installed V4A version 2.7.2.1 Via Magisk https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/ViPER4Android-FX
3. Rebooted after doing a cache wipe
Once tried The V4A app will install drivers but not work. will reboot every time i open the app. In all they both operate. I tested by turning off, and on both modules in magisk. They both work/improve the audio. the James DSP works good I can impy Convolvers, DDC's, Profiles wont apply though. I feel like a problem is that it refuses to "ask" get Root permission. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[edit]
I got it working almost perfect.
Through the same as stated start
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Flash JamesDSP, then wipe cache, mount /sys, flash again, don't wipe cache again
3. Flash V4A, don't wipe cache
4. Flash Audio Modification module for V4A https://github.com/Zackptg5/Audio-Modification-Library
5. Wipe Cache, Reboot
The only down is that V4A app cant change convolers, ect.
JamesDSP changes them all great.
So I can custom change audio lol
