Just wanted to post that I have installed Viper4Android and it works beautifully on my rooted S5. This app is the #1 reason I root.
This app will change the way you think about sound (seriously). Every time I demo the difference to someone by turning it on and off they immediately ask me to install it for them.
Installed using directions by @docnok63, paraphrased below for your convenience. I have only tested this app on my rooted T-mobile S5, and only with spotify (it's the only player I use). Of course you should always backup first and only you are responsible for what you do to your device.
1. Ensure you are rooted. From this point on, grant all superuser requests.
2. Download ViPER4Android FX. Get the latest version under the "Android FX" heading.
3. Extract the 4.x .apk from the zip. If you haven't already, smart-install Busybox from the play store.
4. Move the 4.x .apk to root system/app using a root-friendly file browser of your choice. Reboot to reset permissions.
5. Launch the app (from your app drawer). Grant root to let it install drivers. I've always gone with super audio quality; I suppose it's up to you. It may ask you if it can modify some files to disable power saving...just let it happen. :good: Reboot again.
6. Go straight to settings/sound/music effects (at the bottom) and toggle Viper4Android as default.
7. Open root system/build.prop using a file explorer and text editor with root access. You change three lines of code as follows. Some may already have been changed.
Code:
Ipa.decode=true should read Ipa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false
8. Save the file and reboot once more. Open the Viper4Android app and have at the sound settings; play around until you find what works for you (just make sure to check "Enable" :highfive. You can edit the settings as you have music playing. When you get it where you want it, toggle the enable button and see how far you've come.
You can explore the main app thread here for some ideas on customization.
All credit due to @viper520, @zhuhang, and @docnok63.
All I did was paraphrase. Hope this helps someone!
Mine still doesn't work D: followed these instructions exact I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
EDIT: Does work, just doesn't work in the default Samsung galaxy music app.

I have not been able to get this to work with the stock app on any version of KK but it works fine with Poweramp. Just have all EQ and processors in Poweramp turned off and in Poweramp settings/audio/advanced tweaks make sure everything is unchecked.

WOW...it works here for me. At first it didn't. I looked for updates and it offered v2.3.3.0 Installed that and it's really noticeable with my ear buds. This is with Google music player. I have PowerAmp premium too. Have not tested on that but it for sure works with the latest APK I referenced and it is installed as a system app. One of those build.prop edits was already set while the other two needed to be changed, just an FYI. If you aren't on the latest APK, update. I am on the latest update of Alliance ROM here on my T Mobile S5 variant....fyi.
Hi guys can someone tell me what to do if i cant find the build.prop stated above on my device?
do i have to make the new one or to leave it as it be?
since i dont feel any difference and when i change the preset i dont feel any changes so please help me i would be very gratefull thx a lot
Nice one. Was just trying to get cyanide dsp working, was getting frustrated and then saw this... fantastic sound!

It's in system folder. You need to use an appropriate method of editing that allows you to change from read only to read write. Also for me you have to be running 2.3.3.0 version of Viper. And finally, at least for me, I set this up and it runs until I also use the app Poweramp. Seems as soon as I use PowerAmp with the equalizer on, it breaks the functionality within 2 seconds of starting any song. If you use the menu function while running the Viper app, look at driver staus which not only shows the version but if you are running a song it will say yes to processing which verifies the app is running. (build prop editor by JRummy Apps in Playstore is free and works great) (Of course Root Explorer is my all time favorite, paid app that has a ton of functions, including editing)
So it didn't work for me, unless deleted the mod and installed everything from scratch as a normal app instead of a system one. To make it work with Poweramp, had to enable " compatible mode", add "music fx" button to "tone/vol" screen and turn it on. Now it works.
Anyone here having trouble with signal after flashing this mod?
Or is it just me

Awesome! Trying this out soon.
Here the sound is much better.
However commands double and triple clicks in the headset no longer work with the Power Amp.
This happened to anyone else?

But after a while the controls on the headset started to function normally. Thank you.

No one get music stuttering when screen off???
Its very annoying.
Hey, I can't get it to stick. It keeps asking to install the driver. My rom is "Project Infinity". I tried to move it to system/app but it says it's read only. I have busy bus installed. I don't know what to do, can someone please help me?

I have some of this posted in the Q&A but thought it deserved a thread here as I now have it working with Google Play Music on ICS. I have not been able to get the new YouTube application ported over to ICS yes but I'm still working on it.I could probably get this working on Gingerbread by changing the manifest again but I no longer have a GB device so if someone really wants it let me know.
What you need:
The modified NexusQ.apk file from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28636772&postcount=23
The new 4.3.605 Google Play Music apk which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19423409&postcount=1
A Nexus Q and WiFi network.
A device running ICS. I used my Bionic running leaked ICS but I did have to root in order to install the new 605 Play Music application.
Instructions:
Install the new (4.3.605) Google Play Music application from Steve0007's posted linked above. If you get an "Existing package with same signature.." error you will need to do the following (this is what worked on my Bionic):
WARNING: ROOTING YOUR DEVICE AND CHANGING THE SYSTEM FILES CAN CAUSE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Root your device (I used this method on my Bionic: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...gh-releases-ics-leak-root-exploit-bionic.html.) Install Root Explorer from the market and delete the existing com.google.android.play.music.xxx.xx.xxx apk from /system/app. Reboot device. Copy 605 apk to device and install.
END SCARY ROOT WARNING
Install the modified NexusQ.apk, plug in the Q, turn on Bluetooth on your device (it will prompt you to if you don't) and get connected! I had to go through the process several times before it successfully paired up but from what I've read the same is true on JB devices as well. If you need to wipe out the Q you do so by unplugging it, plugging it back in and as soon as the blue ring starts place your palm over the single LED on the top until the ring goes from flashing red to swirling purple. This will factory reset the device. Since getting both my Bionic and Xoom paired it's worked well.
Enjoy until the official ICS and below apps drop from Google.
If anyone is successful at getting the JB YouTube application working on ICS please let me know.
Thanks to everyone that helped me get this working!
Thanks a ton!!! I've added a link to this in my roll-up (here) in the general thread so others will find it. I'm now able to use my Nexus Q, thanks again!
Eventually I'll start learning to do some dev work :/
I followed your directions but I still cannot stream anything, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I was able to get the Nexus Q 8 Ball easter Egg to work.
What is your current status? Do you have the 4.3.605 music player installed? If so you should have the little "beam" icon on the top right when playing music and tapping that should make the Q almost instantly start streaming that song.

Sorry it doesn't work. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus on CM9 and the NexusQ.apk installs and says play music needs to be updated but it doesn't update. When I try installing the APK it says application not installed. Nexus Q installs and sets up but still will not work with play movies or youtube. Very disappointed in google

Did you read the part about needing to manually remove the old play music application via root explorer (or a simple uninstall if allowed)? Have you tried either?
I wasn't too happy with Google either but the support page for the NQ does say that it is only working on JB until purchased units start shipping. Plus I've learned a lot getting this to work! ;-)

Yes I read that but the old play music was not in the system\apps directory but it was still installed so not sure. I force stopped it and uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still would not let me install the one listed.
Hmmm, I think that's two of you with problems installing on CM9. I don't have anything running that ROM (and you can probably tell I'm already pretty much at the limits of my skills) but perhaps it is installed differently in that ROM. Unfortunately I don't think I can help you with this one.

Just though I should specify what rom I had success with. I copied the app to /system/app folder and changed the permissions. I did NOT have google music previously installed. When I ran the app to install it said install failed. I then installed the NexusQ app directly from my SD card, which installed no problems. I did not try to run the NexusQ app and rebooted the phone. Once rebooted i turned on my WIFI and bluetooth and launched the NexusQ app and rebooted the Nexus Q. The app paired up with the Q no problem. I was then able to run Google Music app and play to the Q with no issues. *NOTE* When i walked out of the house (i did not manually disconnect the wifi or bluetooth, just hit the stop play music button and turned off the TV and receiver) and came back later, turned the TV and receiver back on, the visualizations or music track would not show at all. Just the NexusQ home screen. I rebooted the Q and everything is working fine again.
No, youtube does not work (which I think is posted an original post somewheres). It seems that a ported app will be needed to push youtube videos to the Q. I cannot test Google movies/TV as I dont own any.
I've tried exactly this on my HTC One S running ICS (albeit with HTC Sense) and can't get it to stream to the Q.
Everything installs fine (if I move it to /system/apps and change the permissions as mentioned) but I see no option in the Play Music app to stream to the Q.
Additionally, the new Play Music app looks it has lost quite a bit of functionality to the previous version - perhaps indicating that the installation went badly? For instance, there are much fewer options on the settings page and there's no option to choose or configure my Google account anywhere.
bobukcat - is this the case for you?

Yes that worked for me!
It still took a bunch of tries to get it to do anything though.
For a long time, and several reboots, the Q didn't show up in the list of devices in Play Music...
No idea what I did, but all of a sudden it showed up.
Volume control from the phone still doesn't work, and YouTube/Videos don't work either.
At least now I can enjoy it a bit until they release the real apps.
Thanks a ton for all the pointers and packages!
What order did you install the packages? Play Music first and then the Q app? Or the other way around?

The Q app first.
When the Q finally showed up in the new Play Music app, it was after turning wifi off/on a few times ... don't know if that's what finally did it though.

No, my play music application has all the previous functionality and even more options in Settings, including Nexus Q settings. Did you install the Q application first? I don't know why this would matter but that is what I did.
Did you just move the new play music apk to the /system/app location or did you actually install it from application manager in Astro or other file manager? I don't know that just moving the apk to that folder will work (I don't think I even tried that) so you may have to delete the old one, reboot and then install the new one from the apk. Please try that and let us know if it works.

Yeah, I've tried to rebuild the YouTube application from JB with a new manifest multiple times but I still can't get it to work right, I did finally get it to install but it just constantly FCs and never really runs. Clearly someone much more skilled than I (which wouldn't take much) at modifying apks would need to look into this or we just wait for the official app from Google to drop.
Strange that the volume control from your phone doesn't work, as long as I'm in the Play Music application it works fine on both my Bionic and Xoom.
As reported in the OP I too had lots of errors and force closes, etc. when trying to get this to run the first time but from what I've read that happens on JB devices too and in fact I had a few on my Xoom running TeamEOS nightlies.
I just thought I would write up a quick tutorial for anyone who ever wanted to play music through the earpiece for some reason (am I the only one who always forgets their earphones?). I had the urge to do it yesterday and this is how I did it
First download the app "earpiece" from the play store. You will notice, however, that it doesn't give you the option to play audio through the earpiece. This is because it doesn't think you have one. So, what you must do is take the attached file and stick it in the /system/etc/permissions directory (yes, you need root). Change the permissions of the file as needed and reboot. This file will make your player look like a galaxy S gsm phone (I have not encountered any negative results of doing this yet). You should now be able to use earpiece app for listening to audio through the earpiece!

Same here man, same here. :/ This should be something simple but it's not. I want it to work with the stock music player instead of having to install another one, cause some say it works with the stock music player, and for others, it says it doesn't work and they had to install another player. This is an annoying issue lol, I'll for sure request it. It'll make the ROM even better.
Try enabling full content logging for SuperSU to see if Viper4Android is encountering any errors. I have Viper running perfectly on my S5 on a Stock Based self made ROM.
Viper was a serious pain to setup on Custom ROMs with this phone..i finally got it by being persistent and not giving up..just kept starting from scratch and finally got it..Thing was after getting it running...i personally thought my music sounded better without it..so i took it off..but I probably didn't know what I was doing and didn't have it set correctly. .

"thought my music sounded better without it" lol sorry but i MUST laugh at that. You are right in saying you didn't know what you were doing. Viper4Android is the best thing an audiophile could do to their phone
In terms of setting it up, its quite simple. Ensure busybox is installed (a real, well built custom ROM has this already) and you simply run the app and it does everything for you.
Honestly I never got it to work on anything other than poweramp and YouTube app

Well as I said..i doubt I had all the settings set correctly for optimum listening..nor did I care to take the time to fine tune them or read through the 100 's of posts within its thread to learn. There must be something more to it than what I heard because of all the people that swear by it like you..i am not putting it down..I was just saying I have no problems listening to my music without it and it sound great to me.
But for you say all you have to do is install the app and go is not true for all as I have experienced going through the install process. Maybe for you it installed so easy but not for me or for a lot of people I have seen make comments in this forum and even on the Viper thread itself..I quess your just the Viper genius.
Atleast I made you laugh.

There must be something more to it than what I heard because of all the people that swear by it like you..i am not putting it down..I was just saying I have no problems listening to my music without it and it sound great to me.
But for you say all you have to do is install the app and go is not true for all as I have experienced going through the install process. Maybe for you it installed so easy but not for me or for a lot of people I have seen make comments in this forum and even on the Viper thread itself..I quess your just the Viper genius.
Atleast I made you laugh.

After you install viper did you install drivers then after that diable LPA and then reboot ...? And yes there is a huge difference as far as how loud and clear it is . If you set it up properly and take the time to toggle settings to your preference you will never go without it again .If you listen to music at very low volumes and aren't that into sound quality then don't use it but youre missing out.
What is not working for you .. Did you go to settings then sound and set viper as your music effect as default?
It's strange...on my One and N5 it only works in the google play music app. On this phone it works on every app that outputs sound. This is amazing lol. You have no idea how happy I am to finally listen to my music in decent quality.

It's worth a shot. Especially if you use headphones alot. I personally think that stock sounds ok at best. It's not loud enough and you don't have high quality sound drivers. Make sure it's allowed in super user also. That could be your issue. Don't listen to any of the ass hole comments on here. Some people forget they were noobs once and that they didn't always know everything

Thanks to @spirodave I have given this another shot..and I must say I was very wrong... at first I was just randomly selecting different features not understanding what each one did..and then I found the profile thread for Viper.I must say after using a few different ones I found one my ear really likes and you guys were right my music sounds freaking awesome..so thanks again and here is the link to the Viper profiles thread..maybe it can help someone else find there right setup.

Glad you got it working. On top of viper I always and I mean always use a volume increase mod. That along with viper makes it not only louder but really brings out viper. . My $14 skull candy ear buds sound Frick in amazing. I'll never buy beats. I don't know why Samsung and other brands don't incorporate better sound into their firmware. I guess they don't want to be held responsible for someones ear drums exploding lol.
Try pon-3. It is a modified version of the latest v4a + sound mod (libs) enhancement.

Yeah, I've been trying to get it to work on the AllianceROM as well. Once in a blue moon it would work. I turn check "Enable" and if I hear that it didn't turn on (I already have my settings set up), then I uncheck it, close the app, and open it again and start the whole process. SOMETIMES this works, and SOMETIMES it doesn't.

Q&A: Yes, the Hi-Fi Quad Dac functions with ViPER4Android.
Credits: @zhuhang for ViPER4Android FX/XHiFI, and @jcadduono for working out the root shell exploit and hooking us up with TWRP.
Features: Systemwide ViPER4Android FX 2.3.4.0 (higher audio processing) and ViPER4Android XHiFi.
Installation steps:
1) Make sure you're rooted and have TWRP installed.
2) Install BusyBox, preferably to /system/xbin (otherwise XHiFi will not work, only FX will).
3) Navigate to /vendor/etc (/system/vendor/etc) and delete audio_effects.conf. ZIP has been updated to delete the file.
4) Flash the attached zip.
5) Ignore the version typo while flashing the provided zip. ZIP has been updated to correct this.
6) Ignore the the su binary warning in XHiFi.
7) Optional: Active High Impedance mode by following my guide in the Guides, News & Discussion forum. // http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-impedance-mode-activation-t3507227
8) Profit???
Any chance we can get a flashable ARISE zip or a test try from someone willing to try it? If Viper4Android works, and functions 100%, then chances are we can probably use ARISE. Would love to get a definitive on this subnect either way.
I would like for divine to work.
Just need beats and dolby and z

Arise works the only issue I can find is it is not processing over Bluetooth.
The same thing with this ZIP the OP posted... there are new versions that work not this order one that is not supported anymore

I flashed ARISE+Sound+Systems+Deuteronomy+2.3.3 and it sounds awesome. Only problem I'm having (haven't tried bluetooth yet) is that it stops processing when I either manually change tracks (doesn't stop when it goes to a song by itself) or when I alternate between players (spotify >usb audioplayer pro or vice versa). I have to toggle master power off/on to restart it.
Wonder what the fix would be for that?
Flashed file in OP+Poweramp Latest Beta. Sounds awesome

True. I've actually grown to like it more...once we get some more devs in here it will damn nice!
Do you know if anyone is working on surround sound mod? I really miss that one. I've tweaked the maixer_path myself but nothing seems to change. Its also my first go with this kinda mod. You have any knowledge in this field?

Not that I know of. As far as editing the paths it should be the same plus the DAC lines. I've done it to my Note 7. I'll mess around with it and get back to you.
Anyone have any issues with this one besides bluetooth not working?
I flashed Viper4Arise a few days ago and the processing cuts off and on. When it stops I have to reboot to make it work again.

Eh..what?
Also to OP: why suggest the usage of the v4a that everyone uses in magisk?.. it's the one most of us use anyways and most if not all ROMs use it, it's the go-to systemless v4a...
seems a waste of a thread tbh, but whatever keeps you happy is worthwhile

Ofc not, don't get me wrong, but it is the only updated one on magisk... Maybe it's just me but I've always had this version, across all phones, it's the only one that always support the latest unity... But I guess for ppl that use the system installed driver versions of v4a you gave em a wake-up call to switch over to magisk based v4a!
It's good in a way then I guess, sorry if I came of as mean :angel:
My apologies.
Don't even remember I wrote yesterday, jeez, stupid beers. Hope I did not offend any, if I did, remember, I'm the fool L

No worries. Your right though.
But there are still many new comers. Some extra info never hurts.
Viper is a must have for me. Along side with a stock android. Oxygen os is the closest thing.

I've tried installing this way but there is no app showing up. How is this supposed to work through Magisk? Am on OOS 9 with elementalx kernel fwiw.
Works here....but first times don`t.
Had to get out of the Viper4 until it starts.....
Using it with Poweramp!

Don't reboot. Just toggle on-off, then exit, then re-enter. Works for me to re-enable
I've been on the V4A bandwagon for years now. Was so relieved when someone created Magisk modules for it. I too have issues with it stopping working. What I've found is if you reboot the phone, the first thing you open is V4A. Then open the audio app you want to play. But let's say I switch from Shuttle to Spotify - then V4A stops working. Even if I close everything and open V4A first. A reboot solves it.
Then I have issues when using Bluetooth. Example.. in my car if I have the phone freshly rebooted and V4A open, once it connects to my car V4A processes fine. Turn the car off to pump gas, start the car back up, no V4A. Another reboot. It's super annoying. On my previous phone, what solved this was staying in compatible mode. I've tried everything and I can't get around this. Wish I knew how to fix.

Usually just exit the app and reopen fixes it. I'm not having any issues with it tho. My V4A stays open while listening to music

Setting selinux to permissive did the job for me
Everytime I play music on my phone v4a doesn't directly work, I have to open the app hit exit from the 3 dot menu and then open it again for it to work. Is this just how it is? Or can I do something or install something to make it work just all the time?
