I'd really like to install Viper FX Audio, that's my latest struggling. I've tried, busy box Stephen (Stericson), busy box on rails, and tried converting it into system app.
But every time it says install busy box. Am on rooted 4.3 Please help.
Also, if there is any thing better then Viper Audio please mention steps here.

There was a flashable ZIP which I used before upgrading to 5.1, but when I went back to 4.3 I looked at that thread and the OP updated it to Lollipop only. I don't know about any other flashable ZIP's.

You can install the apk and go through the driver install process and if you choose, you can always make it a system app using titanium backup

I tried installing through the APK many times (even the one in the Play Store), but it would give an error message whenever I tried to install the driver saying something about Busybox, even though I have it installed.

Nope. Installing Viper gives the same error message, for me and everyone else that tried it, even way before the 5.1 update was a thing. We've been trying it since most of us got the phone, one year ago.

Here's what I did, since you mentioned a restart post busybox installation.
Installed Viper, choose Power Saving Mode, Installed Busybox (free) from playstore, restarted it, same driver error, Converted it into system app, same sh*t, no solution
Am sure no one here is using Viper Audio Mate2 4.3 and if they are then they aren't sharing solution.
Also, I've searched the official Viper Audio thread too for a solid answer but no luck.
Player Pro gets stopped randomly, thought it was Xposed, uninstalled that too. Xposed is anyway not much of help to me.
Thanks anyway, all of you.

I'm no longer on 4.3 and I forget if I got V4A to work on 4.3. I am sure no one is holding back in helping you. That's not how we roll on XDA (unless you are a total lazy a$$ and require hand holding, which is not you). Sorry I am unable to offer more.
The only solution was to flash a ZIP, but like I said, that ZIP has been updated to Lollipop only. Before the ZIP was updated, I flashed it on my phone on 4.3 and it worked. Viper installed, and I was happy.
There is no way to install it on 4.3 anymore, unless there is another flashable ZIP somewhere out there.

I'm in need of some kinda urgent help and advice regarding a phone i have just purchased for my mother.
I've bought her a cheap Daxian TD888 on the MTK6589 chipset and i'm afraid i have been a silly boy and not done my research before purchasing - I was under the impression that it came with the Play Store installed etc and sadly, it comes with a hard to use chinese ROM.
Mothers being mothers, mine isn't anywhere near tech/phone friendly and this is her first smartphone (upgrade from a 6 year old Nokia/symbian brick) so i was wanting to get her onto a nice and simple stock android 4.1 or 4.2 or even a CMxx that i can just help her along with.
After some very panic based searching today, i'm not seeing much that can help me... infact... nothing regarding this phone at all.
So... have I been a dumbass and bought her a lemon or is there anyone that can help me out with advice or pointers on how to get a normal android ROM on this thing?
I'm not massively experienced with rooting but have managed it a couple fo times in the past on my old Nexus One.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could probably help you get it rooted and that would allow you to install Play store on it as well as delete any chinese apps that sometimes come on the MT65XX devices if interested. As far as the rom goes, is there not an option in settings to change language to English? I have bought a few MediaTek devices directly from china, when I received the phone it had english on it already but when I reset the phones I would have to go into Settings and change chinese language back to english.
Motochopper should root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
One thing with these phones is that the android version is not always what is shown in Settings > About phone. Try using this tool from the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone first and it will help tell which version of android you are really running. If kernel say 2.6.xx you are on GB 2.3, if it is 3.0.xx then you are on ICS and if it says 3.4.xx then you are JB. I bought a MT6575 that said android version 4.0 in settings, it said gingerbread 2.2 on the box (I know 2.2 is Froyo), then on bottom of box it said Froyo 2.2!
Thanks Klown80 -
I'm just into work now so I'll have to hook it up to my own PC and root when i get home later... i'm just in full on panic mode over this (its a time sensitive issue as she's due to be in hospital for an extended period and i want to get this right for her before then)
Regarding the language settings in the current/stock rom, it has english US selected and while a lot of the language is in english, pretty much ALL popup dialogs are in chinese and the browser is unusable (all chinese text based) so... hence the panic.
I was (foolishly) thinking it would just be a simple enough flash to CM or stock android and hey presto - full english ROM.
I hate it when i don't do my homework first.
So... you recommend the root first, check exact android version number and go from there?
Even if it turns out to be an older 2.1/2.2/whatever version, i'd be happy enough to get something stock and full english based on there if its possible.
As she's never had a smart phone, it will all seem super smooth and flashy to her anyway.
I have now rooted (i think..) however, the superuser app comes up with an error upon opening -
superuser binary (su) must be updated
and i now i'm kinda stuck.
I have downloaded and tired various versions of the play store and while the at first allow me to enter google accounts details, it always crashes after that.
Every time i open the play store app, it just closes again.
Any suggestions on where i might be going wrong?

Sounds like you need to update the binary then, if it allows you. If not then the root did not correctly root your device and we will have to go back a step and get that fixed first. As for Play Store, it usually takes more than just the Play.apk file to put Play Store on your device if it did not come with it stock. You also need (I am going off top of my head, I can give you exact names later) Google services framework.apk, Google login services.apk, Google Play services.apk. You need to have root to to this because you will need to move the vending.apk to /system folder and possibly change permissions on the apk before you install it. Once we can confirm root I can help you install a working Play Store if you like.

I've no idea how to update the binary so I guess i'm looking at a re-root.
I have had the usual issues of drivers not wanting to work (the Motochopper root process getting stuck at the daemon starting point) but I've manged to get the process to work twice so far.
(I've tried 4 different driver packages and they have all given the same results)
Could you possibly advise on how to update the binary file for superuser? I've just tried the root again and it skipped installing superuser as it was already found on the phone.. i haven't felt this noobllike in some time!

Try uninstalliong Superuser or SuperSU and try again. Su binary should ask you if you want to update when you first open SuperSU, if you have Superuser, then you will need to open the app and go into settings to update binary.

It was aksing to try and update etc but its chashed every time - I was thinking that the root hadn't worked properly or something... anyway, I've uninstalled Superuser and reinstalled from a newer apk file (v3.2) i downloaded.
Its now running ok. Now that superuser is working... whats next?

Ok, is it just Superuser and not SuperSU correct? Can you go into settings in Superuser and towards the bottom there should be an option to update su binary. If it is SuperSU it will ask to update on its own when you open it. either way make sure it lets you update binary. Once binary is updated download and install any app that asks for root acces, so we can see if superuser request pops up.
Once we have confirmed root we can move onto installing Play Store. To do this you will need to be able to install a file explorer like ES file explorer so we can install the files we need for working Play Store.

In the superuser settings, there isn't anything apparent for trying to update the su binary.
the list reads as follows:
Security
Apps List
Log (on)
Notifications (on)
Backup apps/preferences

HUGE thanks to Klown80 for the advice and patience!
For anyone else in a similar situation with an MTK6589 cheapo phone, and had issues with the Motochopper root method (the root getting stuck at 'daemon started successfully' etc etc.....
Klown80's chinese root tool works a treat. You will have a chinese superuser app that may be a little annoying (you might be able to swap it for SuperSU or something but I had issues doing that so i've kept the chinese one) but the root works perfectly and the instructions given by Klown80 in the linked thread are very easy to follow.
I still had some issues with getting google services installed so you may want to look for a play store installer workaround - I know there is a cheeky little chinese mod apk that can be used to get the play store working, but i can't post it here.
Should anyone come across this thread and know of a good, stock english rom that I might be able to use, please leave a comment!

I was wondering if anyone has installed Viper4Android on this device. I had it on my previous phone and it worked flawlessly; all my music sounded amazing.
But ever since we achieved root, I couldn't successfully install it. It keeps telling me Busybox is broken or not installed, and therefore won't let me install the audio drivers.
Can anyone try installing it, if they can? My favorite band just released a new album and I'd love to hear it with a good equalizer.

I have just installed it successfully and it works perfectly on MT2-L05 4.4.2
I have busybox ( stericson ) installed on my phone. Maybe you can delete whatever version of busybox that you have installed and try to install stericson Busybox from playstore?
Good Luck !

I've tried many Busybox versions, including stericson and it still won't work. Maybe the OS has something to do with it, if it works on KitKat and not Jelly Bean?
I failed to as well. I even tried the zip install.
Sent from my MT2L03 using Tapatalk
I tried everything today: manual Viper installation, different Busybox versions, etc., still doesn't work.
Maybe the KitKat update will make it possible. That is, if we ever get a KitKat update... I may not use a Huawei phone again if we don't get updates. There's already been so many issues (for me at least) with Emotion being so extensively modified from regular Android. And we don't have any developers at all. I'll probably go Nexus next time.

I am using it now flawlessly. The driver cannot be installed automatically but you can manage to use the flashable zip file to install it manually.
First uninstall the app and backup your build.prop.
Download the flashable zip file here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
Reboot to your TWRP and flash the zip file and reboot. The zip file would install the apk file in /system/priv-app which is actually not recognized by the Huawei system. So please manually move the apk file to /system/app or /data/app , or just install it and remove whatever file left in /system/priv-app
And then start the app you should be able to install the driver. Actually the driver has been installed after you flashed the zip file.
Since it will modify your build.prop, so please make a backup. And in my case it broke my build.prop so I had to modify the file manually. There is an example in the link above. Please append the followings at the end of your build.prop.
Code:
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
OK. Reboot and you are all set.
Again, if you encounter soft brick and the system ui fails to appear, high chances that V4a broke or deleted your build.prop. Make sure you make a back up of that file first.

Yes and yes. I am using the US version MT2L03 and it can be used to boost my earbud volume.
Sweet, I thought you had the non-US version at first. I'll install TWRP soon, try this and report back!
I managed to install it...but I dont know which settings will let me do this.
I want to increase the volume of the phone when using it as a phone held up to my ear without affecting battery drain. There are too many options. The FAQ links to a site to explain the settings but that site is down. Help?
Update: never mind I uninstalled viper4android (reverted to backup actually). It barely increased the volume but it would crash my phone when connecting to Bluetooth despite it being disabled for bluetooth.
Works great but shuts down when the screen sleeps. No option in the apps list to keep it running.

There was the option to mark it as a protected app for me but that's because i installed it to /data/app by copying it there. Did you install it to /system/app maybe?
I found it too buggy to keep though so I dont use it now.

In the Viper settings, you can set "Show notification", so the system won't kill the app when the screen is off. If that's not enough, what I did on my previous phone was use this app to protect Viper. Install that, go to "Tasks", tap on Viper, and select "Exclude" on the bottom left.
Root the device (search how to root the device Huwei Mate 2)
Change to permissive mode with “SELinux Mode Changer” apk from xda or search.
Enable developer options (tapping the Settings->Builld Number several times will enable the developer options, by default it is hidden from the user) and uncheck Use Nuplayer option.
Install the viper4android (get the latest untouched viper4android from original viper4android thread).
optional making viper4andriod as system app(refer how to make system app, if you want to make viper4andorid as system app)
set following values on the “build.prop” using the (Build Prop Editor, search for apk)
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
Run following commands with “Terminal Emulator” apk (search playstore or internet)
>>su
>>/system/xbin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"
Open the viper4android and install the drivers.
Reboot the device
After reboot Launch the viper4android and check the driver status then you will see driver status normal.
feel free to play with compatible mode option or other options to suit your needs.

I've been using V4A on stock ROMS and on CM ROMS with no issues at all.
This is a simple app to install GApps and disable items on your Kindle. This was tested on Fire HD 7 4th gen. I do not know the status on HD 6. but in theory it should work just fine. It doesn't make any MAJOR changes to where it would cause a non-booting system.
But with all things in the development world, you are taking a risk. I have tested this about 10 times on my own tablet.
Obviously, you need root for this. The only known way to root is via KingRoot.
The GApps install is a very minimal install to /system that fully works. It is no different than flashing a GApps package in recovery. I am also disabling updates for Play Store and Play Services. The method used is the ones referenced a few times in this forum. I am unable to find the original finder of this information so if you find the original source I will link that content appropriately.

The safe way to disable ads on lockscreen and still use profiles or FreeTime is to run this command on every boot. "chmod 000 /data/securedStorageLocation/dtcp/adunits"
Changelog:
v4: Fixed backwards logic in BootReciever to block or unblock ads on boot. Thanks @DoLooper for pointing out the bug
v3: Updated Gapps with combination found by @AlbusAngelus and the casting libs needed he found. Changed the layout to more material design
v2: Found bug with button not showing enabled. Found MAJOR bug with the pm block method of disabling ads on lockscreen. Found workaround
v1: Original Release

Nice tool! I would test it if I had not done everything manually. With GAPPS, do you block updates to Google Play Services by creating a directory in /data/app in order to keep version 6.0.99 which works?

Yes it allows you to renable each of those.
As for the Play Store. The version being installed is 5.5.8. the Google Services Framework is 4.0.4. I am looking into ways to make updates work. There is no reason why updates shouldn't work.
Updated app. Please read the notes about upgrading.

As for the Play Store. The version being installed is 5.5.8. the Google Services Framework is 4.0.4. I am looking into ways to make updates work. There is no reason why updates shouldn't work.

Is there a reason you choose Framework 4.0.4 over 4.4.4? Just curious as to why you choose it over 4.4.4, maybe some undesired effect I'm unaware of yet?

Its the one that I could get working. Using updated ones, I only got white play store with loading screen. Unless you have a combination that works with more updated ones.

Are you saying with your combo you can let them update and they work?
Framework 4.4.4
Store 5.5.12
Play Services 7.0.99 - 034 --- Edit
Account Manager 4.4.4
This seems to work if you block updates for the store and services. The only issues I'm running into now is chromecast has stopped working correctly, and I had it working fine before root, and after initial root. Once I put playstore on it seemed to stop.

No they won't update because I disable updating when installing them. I will check chromecast tomorrow and see if it works

Well the setup I listed works okay without the white loading screen. If chrome cast works on the older stuff though I'm going to go ahead and roll it all back and freeze it there. Chrome cast functionality is pretty vital, as my Kindle was basically being used as a movie streamer, before the root break through. Thanks for checking into chrome cast!

Don't get me wrong. I don't have that white loading issue with my tool. Only if I tried to update past what exists in my tool.
Just something I can think of is download the 4.4 gapps package like you would on AOSP and find the cast lib file and push it to /system/lib and see if that fixes it. I think it is libgcast.so. not 100% on that though. I know for a fact it has cast in the name

Oh I know , I'm just saying if you are already blocking updates with the tool as might as well go to 4.4.4 and newest playstore, because they are working with now without issue.
(Unless that's what's breaking chromecast) I'll check into the cast file when I get home, I'm at work for another 6 hours.

Absolutely, here they are.
And btw, your chromecast idea worked brilliantly. You could implement the install of those too perhaps? I don't know if everyone is as huge on casting as I am, but that was a lifesaver.

Just to confirm, tool now uses framework 4.4.4 and services 7.0.9.6 (or 9.9) and prevents them from updating? Thank you so much!
.
Now that we have Xposed working, what modules have you installed that work? Or ones that don't work? Anyone try Notify Clean?
Root cloak
NotifyClean seems to be working well.
I'm using appopsxposed, directapkinstall module, play store changelog, rootcloak, swype row, youtube adaway, and youtube background playback.
Gravity Box [LP] also working... although I only am using some tweaks to clean up the status bar...
Anyone else try G4 Tweaksbox? I installed the module, but when starting the app, it said the Xposed framework was not found (or something like that...). anyone else have any luck with it?
Im using the G4 tweakbox, amplify, and acdisplay. All work well

Not sure what I did differently, but I got G4 Tweakbox working... Thanks! and I had forgotten about Amplify... used it on a previous device, but that was a while back. Thx!

Both call recording and the shutter sound mute seem to be working fine.
I can't update my xposed, how did you guys go about doing it? Also, kind of off topic, when I installed V4A it asked me to install busybox (which I did, the one that it redirects you to) and it still says that I don't have the proper busybox installed which makes it so it is unable to install the driver.

Not sure what you mean by "update" xposed... there is no update - you just install the latest framework (and app) as discussed in a couple of other threads. What am I missing? Also, my not be relevant as I have not tried to install V4A, but the Busybox installer that worked best for most folks was the one from JRummy (app store)--you might try uninstalling busybox and then reinstall with that app... Hope this helps.

That is what I meant, by installing a newer framework. Anyways I got that working, but now I have a new problem. I am unable to uninstall the xposed framework. The reason why I am trying to do this is so that I can sign back into snapchat. I have tried flashing the uninstall zip via flashfire, but it doesn't seem to be working (I have tried flashing it multiple times with no luck).

I think at this point, the only way to "uninstall" xposed is to flash the stock tot via LGUP.
Anybody get YouTube background playback working?

working for me
Installing V4A via Magisk v18 installs but then when run & checking the driver status on V4A it says "Abnormal" which does not let you use the enhancements at all to tweak your audio. Any help on this or if anyone has installed it fine or not?
Yea I had that happen as well. Not sure if this is what fixed it, but try installing busybox. if that doesn't fix it, leave busybox installed, and uninstall viper and reinstall from magisk. I choose 2.5.0.5 material theme. I also got xHifi working in a stacked sorta config, great for a speaker specific profile.
If its still not working, keep playing with it, it will eventually
