AUDIOPHILES GET IN HERE!
One of the many reasons why rooting is still Popular..
NOTE(Old):
Your phone's Dolby Atmos would not be functional (but its dual speakers still function well) in other words, the Dolby Atmos in the settings would be turned "Off" only.
Note(New): I had an error installing the driver but itndoesn cause any problems, I backed up the audio config file. Deleted, restarted and installed the driver from the app. It was successful. I tried bringing back a copy of audio conf. And jollah I made the built in dolby atmos system of Nokia 6 work with the Viper4Androi and I swear, the phone is like a mini stereo with awesome quality. Just a few tweaks and you're great.
For those who doesn't know what's ViPER4Android:
As we know that the vipe4android is one of the best android voice enhancer app. Not just voice/music enhancer but the best thing you can do by viper4android is, improve music quality. This app works on same principal and applicable to both kinds of music as well as video, and also works to games, almost every app on your phone!
How to Install ViPER4Android on Nougat
Make sure you’re rooted and have TWRP recovery installed on your device.
If not yet, follow Hikari Calyx's guide for rooting your Nokia 6 https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-custom-recovery-root-t3702354
Just tested it on my Nokia 6 TA-1021 (March 30 +8:00)
1. Download the ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero.zip file from the download button above and transfer it your device’ internal storage.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery and install/flash the ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero.zip file to your device.
Reboot phone. (If you can't go to recovery mode just like me, use "#Rashr" app from playstore it has a function that can reboot you to recovery mode)
3. Download/install a root file explorer app (we recommend ES File Explorer/Classic root browser).
└ On ES File Explorer, swipe-in from left and turn on Root explorer feature. And don’t forget to grant root access when asked.
4. Now using your root explorer app, go to /vendor/etc/ directory on the device and rename audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak.
5. Open ViPER4Android FX app on your phone (it installed when you flashed the zip file in step 3 above).
You’ll get a notification to install V4A driver. Select YES.
It’ll take some time to install V4A driver, and while doing so it might even look like it’s stuck but you don’t worry. It’s doing its job and will finish soon.
└ If Android gives an error that the app has stuck/stopped. Be sure to select the wait option, don’t force close it.
Once you get the Driver installed message on screen, reboot your device.

Is there any audiophiles here?
I would like to know if anyone has safely installed Viper4android to Nokia6
And if it's causing any problems with its dolby atmos system..
I wanted to know because tbh, the HMD global didn't make efforts for a nokia music app and it comes without a preinstalled equalizer. While Samsung even has their SoundAssistant and SoundAlive equalizer options. 3rd party app sucks. So this is the best option I only see, the mother of all equalizers for music.
I use ARISE Sound mod with VIPER4ARISE and it is working great. Only Dolby Atmos will not work with that, if you install the arise Dolby you will get a bootloop.
Wait, I don't understand... What's the difference between Vioer4android and Viper4ARISE and Arise itself...
And which of those causes bootloop, which ones are safe to install through twrp?

Viper4android is the original audio mod you were asking about. Some guys from created a collection of different mods and apps and made them work as best as they can - this is ARISE. They included Viper4android and modified the configs so it fits into arise - this is VIPER4ARISE. The main difference for the Nougat user is that the installation is simpler. You just place a text file on the internal storage which tells this twrp zip what to do and Flash through twrp - done. This means that you can easily install a variety of sound software with only minimal problems.
If you install arise however, the pre-installed Dolby from Nokia breaks. If you install Dolby Atmos from arise, you will end up with a bootloop.
I hope this was understandable.
How do I install Viper4arise.. I can't seem to be able to find links in google. Also, the files :/ if it doesn't bother you that is...
Also, have you tried installing Viper4android? Does it also cause the dolby atmos (speakers) of nokia 6 to malfunction? Or any side effects it might cause? I want the dolby atmos speaker function to remain while having installed Viper4android.

The speakers remain perfectly functional. But DOLBY ATMOS WILL NOT WORK after installing viper through arise at least. I have never installed stock viper so I cannot provide information about this.
Updated thread*
Hey guys, I wanted to try out the module Viper4android. I installed it via Magisk Manager and tested it with the phone speaker where it works just fine. If I try it with my headset it just doesn't do anything. Already tried to turn on developer options and disable SELinux and deactivate MusicFX in my settings but it just says "Processing: No" while I listen to a song via Poweramp or when I watch a video on Youtube. Does someone know how I can get this to work?
Magisk v16.0
Viper4AndroirFX 2.5.0.5 (this is the only module I have installed)
Custom ROM Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.3
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.

How can I install any audio mod on this phone? I've already tried to install with Magisk and TWRP:
Viper4Android, Dolby Atmos, Sony's EQ, ARISE Magnum Opus with no luck... I tried uninstalling SoundAlive and Adapt Sound, aslo deleted strings containing "soundalive" from the audio_effects_common.conf file, but still nothing seems to work :crying:
Please help...
///Solved///
Also can someone port this mod work on this device?
My device is SM-A750FN running android 8.0 stock.
EDIT: Now I found that I can install the official V4A app (v. 2.7.1.0) from here and install the driver successfully. The app gets displayed as a module in Magisk. I installed the ZhuHang's IRS and it works flawlessly with the built in dolby atmos and soundalive. I also use the Ainur Sauron module.
Note: Do not install V4A Legacy module from Magisk, it's not working!
Ive tried downloading several different versions of Viper4android and Dolby Atmos and I can't seem to get it to work. My drivers in Viper4Android say Status:Abnormal.
Am I required to set SELinux to permissive if I'm rooted?
My device is rooted and I prefer not to set SElinux to permissive. Is there any way around it?
Will any Viper4Android version(even the latest version) work with lollipop 5.1.1?
Do I need a specific version of Dolby Atmos to work?
I have Magisk installed and tried installing the Audio Compatibility Patch and Audio Modification Library and installing the drivers, then i uninstalled them and reinstalled the drivers but nothing is working. When I try to open the Dolby Atmos app it force closes. The Viper4Andriod app opens fine but it says drivers are Abmornal. This is for my minix box which has a bluetooth speaker connected to it and I'm trying to get better sound coming out of my Bluetooth speaker for watching movies.
I tried using this method also
but the link in the description is not working https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx so I tried using another version I found online which bundled Viper4android and Dolby Atmos.
