[Q] ViperAudio and CM11 [KitKat 4.4.4] - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Since my tussle with Google didn't yield any meaningful and relevant result, I am posting a new thread to gather cues.
I got CM11 latest nightly installed (actually I tried quite a few since June) and it does not seem to like Viper Audio. The drivers gets installed but never processes audio samples. I even tried installing it as a system app but no success.
Annoyingly, ViperAudio works fine on my Asus Transformer Infinity running on CM 11 same build - just as a system app! Just as it should. It also works fine on Z1 stock ROM.
I checked build.prop to see if any LPA decode settings are in place. None - as expected for any AOSP ROM. The inbuilt DSP manager works but not quite what I want.
So, now I am here seeking help!
Thanks in advance,
Soumya

Hi,
No, I do not use DSP Manager - I find it's under-powered in every aspect. One of the main reasons for using ViperAudio is using Convolver.
Did you get ViperAudio to work with latest CM11 build (KK 4.4.4)? If yes, how?

[APP] DSP Manager 5.0.2 for Angler

Fellow XDA members, I have made a flashable zip with my favorite dsp app that works with Nexus 6P.
I pulled out some files from CM13 and packed it with dsp 5.0.2 and now I’m going to share it with you.
This will write in /system
This package should work with all roms. No guarantees though, remember to back up your system first.
Working:
Bluetooth dsp
Headphone jack dsp
My setup:
Stock ROM MMB29P
Kernel: Franco r7
Recovery: latest TWRP
SuperSU 2.66
Busybox (might affect install script in recovery)
Do i have to flash it in recovery?

No you do not have to do that if you already aren't using an equaliser such as audio fc or Viper
Cheers ?
Will this work on nexus 6?

Did you clear cache?
What is FC:ing? If it is dspmanager.apk then just delete it from /system/priv-app/
Or just restore the backup you made before flashing...
If you didnt and want a clean setup then dirtyflash your current rom
Hope this helped :/
Does it have any negative effect on the battery?
Well, I bit the bullet and flashed it...No FC's, but I can't tell any difference on any of my apps (YouTube, NetFlix, Shuttle+, ect...). My Main audio player is Poweramp, it has it's own EQ that over-rides system EQ's.
I'll mess with it more later and see if I can get it to work?
ROM: Screw'd 2/5/16 build
EX kernel: 1.0.8 build
No other mods (no busybox or Xposed).
UPDATE:
I messed around with it and It's working on a couple of my audio apps, but not YouTube or NetFlix (that I can tell).

Intresting, i only use the dsp for audio apps (actually, only spotify) and i have never thought about the effect in video apps..
Does the equalizers usually work with video apps?

I can't say whether EQ's work with video apps, since the 6P doesn't have one included in the ROM.....But on other phones I've had, yes it does.
I know the Dolby Atmos + Viper mod works system wide, including video apps. But there is somewhat of a slight battery drain - and it works until I use PowerAmp, then it won't work again until I reboot my phone.... I like PowerAmps EQ better and have some presets saved, so will continue using that over any system wide EQ/DSP.
It'd just be nice to have something that works on video (YouTube, Netfilx, ect...)

viper4droid not working

can any one tell me viper4droid is not working in my custom rom resurrection remix 6.0.it is in selinux permissive mode.in viper4droid i tried forcing it but nothing actually happens.I only able to use viper4droid setting but it does not change sound quality or u can say its not working when i off it or not no sound change.
The sound quality change is minimal really. Not even really noticeable. However, when you play with the EQ and other settings, you can notice a difference. I like bass so I boost the bass by as much as 15db and it's awesome. Works great. But I am also not using the rr ROM. I'm using computer Creek's lollipop ROM. Same thing though.

To test if it is working, play some music and then go to the viper4android app -> settings menu -> Driver Status. If processing = yes, it's working.

What app are you using to play music?
Also, there are a couple versions of v4a floating around, and some work better than others. When I was using RR 6.0, I used the ViperAtmos 5.5 Sony Beats Edition from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/viperaudio-viperatmos-3-8-sq-driver-t3289075

Help with installing Viper4Android.

I have tried installing different ROMs like Cyanogen 14.1 (LineageOS), AOSP, and XenonHD all of which are based on 7.1.1 r6, but I haven't been able to install Viper4Android 2.4.0.1.
First of all, I don't really know how to make a clean install but I had installed SuperSU 2.79, SElinux Mode Changer and BusyBox by Stericsson.
The only thing I have achieved was for V4A to process only media files inside storage. Soundcloud, Youtube, and any other app did not get processed by it. :crying:
Please, can someone help me install a version of 2.4.0.1 that works?
PD: I dob't want the newer 2.5.0.5 because I don't like the new UI. Viper4Arise is also acceptable .:good:
Did you uninstall AudioFx that came in with CM? I was able to flash viperdroid and make it work by removing it first.

The thing is, on my other phone, when I went to the System App Uninstaller with Root, I was able to find MusicFX, but on CM there is only a misterious thing called CM Audio Serivice and a thing called Ant HAL.
I can only get it partially working though.
I have found soume posts on the official Viper4Android XDA forum saying you have to make a clean rom installation, remove audio_effects.conf, install v4a, then supersu, then Selinux changer, then busybox, finally install v4a drivers and then remove Deep_buffer entries from Audio_policy_configuration.conf
I'll try it this weekend when I have time though.
In my CM 14.1 didnt have much difficulty though in flashing viper4droid. Hope u fix yours.

Viper4Android FX v2.7.1.0: Google Camera crash.

Anyone is using Viper4Android FX v2.7.1.0 (Magisk Module)? Once installed, Google Camera doesn't work anymore. Tried to ask on the official thread

I've been using that version of viper since I got the phone and haven't run into any issues. I do however also have the audio modification library and audio compatibility patch modules installed as well. If those don't help, then I think there is a larger issue.
PS - I've used both the latest stable and the canary Magisk builds without issues.

Which kernel are you using? I'm using ElementalX 1.05.
Tried with audio modification library and compatibily patch modules but didn't work. Everytime i start the google camera, it crashes.

Ok, so... same as me.
Really, i don't know where to start. I've flashed stock rom wiping everything some days ago. So, my phone is clean. I've the latest Magisk stable and elementalx 1.05.
All i can do is try to dirty flash stock rom again and install twrp, magisk and elementalx and try another time.
About audio compatibily patch, there are really too many options and i don't know where to start to install it correctly..... but i don't think google camera crashes because of that......
Same problem if i install Viper4Android FX Legacy module.

I would be surprised if the audio compatibility patch caused an issue too. Honestly I had forgotten about the initial options that I had to choose when I installed it. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it and only chose the "notification remover" option and then opted out of the lib use (last option). I use the headphone jack, so I don't need a USB DAC (does this phone even have one?), nor do I use Spotify, etc.
However, it is important to install the audio modification library last. It should find both the Audio Compatibility Patch as well as Viper4Android and patch both to work together. I might suggest that you uninstall it, reboot, and reinstall it to ensure it is actually patching both audio modification. Also, make sure the driver is actually installed in Viper if you end up reinstalling any of these mods as you might find that the driver isn't actually installed. It's a long shot, but perhaps that would fix your issue.
I'm also using the leaked camera version 6.3.017.253834016 currently (because it has the night sight setting as a main option instead of buried in the "more" settings). But this really shouldn't matter and the stock camera app worked just fine too. Viper4Android is always one of the first mods I install on a phone and it has never given me a problem on my 3a XL or caused the camera to stop working.

Tried exactly what you said. Same issue, Google Camera crashes on start. Every V4A version i tried, same thing.... Well, i don't know what to try more..... Asked on official V4A thread but no answer. Is there any way to provide logs to discover what happen?
EDIT: I've attached a logcat, if you know what could be the problem i will be happy
Dirty flashed August factory image, Elementalx, TWRP and Magisk. Same issue. Anyone who can help me taking a look at the logs?
Im on 2.5.0.5 and i have no issues so far with the camera app.
The only issue that i have is that v4a is marked as harmful by Google protect. Anyone else?
Pixel 2 xl user here with the latest viper4android on android 10, same camera app is crashing on me

I've never had any real issues getting Viper4Android to work on Android 10, but I understand it is a common issue. Here is a Pixel 4 thread on installing Viper4Android on Android 10 and how they got it to work. The fact that it is on a Pixel 4 device is irrelevant. Perhaps this can help you get the driver installed.
PS - I should mention that I already was using the audio compatibility module and the audio modification module prior to moving to Android 10, so it is quite possible that is why I never experienced any issues.
