Warning: I am not responsible if following this guide sends your phone into bootloops, summons demons from the 7th levels of hell, etc. Understand that I am fairly noob, and I spent several days, read fifty guides, and performed a hundred firmware flashes back to stock to finally get V4A working on my J510GN.
UPDATE 10/01/17: Added steps for disabling SoundAlive / Adaptsound (not sure if necessary but it probably is so do it)
THIS IS FOR STOCK MARSHMALLOW 6.0.1
Requirements:
1: A stock rom of your device if something goes wrong (save it on your PC)
2: (Optional, but freaking do it) a backup of your apps/settings BEFORE YOU CONTINUE (I use TWRP backup and just choose "Data")
2: TWRP (I used TWRP_3.0.2_SM_J510_2016_Recovery.tar, found here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/aqxjqor6bllaorh/Root+Files+SM-J510-2016-Android+6.0.1.rar )
3: Magisk-v10.2 (XDA thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) (I used the flashable .zip)
4: Viper4Android APK **THAT MATCHES THE V4A MAGISK MODULE VERSION** (Link below)
5: An app to disable/freeze system apps, like Titanium Backup or Rom Toolbox.
Notes:
If you are already rooted with SuperSU and not phh SuperUser, this guide may or may not work if you follow the steps completely. I personally went into a recovery loop when trying to flash Magisk while SuperSU was already installed on my phone, even though the Magisk XDA thread says that it is possible to do this. If you already have SuperSU root, you can continue following my guide, but you'll probably get best results if you just un-root SuperSU, do a clean factory restore, and continue with Magisk + phh SuperUser only.
Steps:
1: Use Odin to install TWRP on your device. Read a guide on using Odin if you've never used it, but basically just connect your phone to your PC via USB, boot your phone into download mode (volume down+home+power on my J510), open Odin on your PC, click the AP button, choose the TWRP tar, disable "Auto-Reboot" in Odin options, then click Start. Wait for it to finish, then exit Odin, pull the battery out of your phone for about 10 seconds, and pop the battery back in.
2: Reboot into TWRP recovery (volume up+home+power on my J510). Go to Install, then find the Magisk zip on your phone (because you transferred it to your SDcard earlier, right?). Flash that shiz! Optional: Wipe dalvik/cache, but not always necessary. Reboot your phone when its done.
3: Open Magisk app on your phone, and update from the Google Play Store if prompted.
4: Download phh SuperUser from Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser&hl=en). We are doing this because Magisk already rooted your phone with a built-in phh SuperUser, but now you need the official phh SuperUser app on your phone. Because.
5: Go to Magisk > Settings, and check "Enable BusyBox" (I'm not 100% positive if this is necessary, but do it because I did it and my V4A works now)
6: Reboot your phone
7: Open your app to disable system apps (Titanium Backup or Rom Toolbox). Do an app search for "AdaptSound" and "SoundAlive". Freeze and/or uninstall any apps associated with those. "SplitSound" is okay, its not relevant. SOME guides recommend going into your /system/audio/ and renaming audio.conf to audio.conf.bak, but this is not necessary because we are systemlessly rooted and installing a systemless version of V4A.
8: Go to Magisk > Downloads, scroll down until you find the Viper4Android FX module. Download/install it with Magisk, and reboot your phone.
9: Download the Viper4Android .apk THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE MAGISK V4A MODULE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you touch the module after its downloaded and check the Information button, it should automatically open your device browser to the correct download link, but here it is just incase you want the .apk ready: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=31297853226564193
10: Install the .apk, DO NOT OPEN VIPER4ANDROID YET. Go to your phones settings > apps > app permissions, and allow Viper4Android to access your storage.
11: Open Viper4Android, check driver status. It should say "Normal", because the Magisk V4A module already installed the correct drivers for you.
12: The V4A UI is extremely easy and a monkey could understand it, so just play with the settings while you are playing your favourite songs.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
If something goes wrong during any of the steps, I have no clue what happened. The best advice I can give is to: Reboot into recovery (which your phone is probably already doing), wipe your data/cache/system, Odin back to your stock firmware, re-install TWRP with Odin, reboot into TWRP, and recover your data backup to re-install all your apps/phone settings.
How to use V4A with PowerAmp
PowerAmp is personally my favorite music player for Android, because it has an amazing equalizer and sound settings, but if you want to use V4A sound processing while playing songs in PowerAmp, do this:
Go to PowerAmp Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks
Disable Direct Volume Control
(For some devices): Disable OR enable MusicFX. Some people say that disabling OR enabling MusicFX makes V4A start processing audio from PowerAmp. Personally, I did not notice any audio difference whether MusicFX was enabled or disabled.
Just to be safe, not sure if it makes a difference:
Go to PowerAmp Settings > Audio > Output > (Your output choen, whether Java based or OpenSL ES) > Headset
Enable "No DVC", "No Headroom Gain", and "No Equ/Tone"
Possible Problems with PowerAmp:
"I started playing a song in PowerAmp, with V4A power enabled, and I don't hear a difference in my music"
Check the Driver Status in V4A. Does it say "Abnormal" and/or "Processing: No" ? Don't worry, your drivers aren't corrupted. Try exiting V4A with PowerAmp still open, pause your song, re-open V4A, and start playing your song in PowerAmp. Now check Driver status in V4A, it should say normal. If no, try rebooting your phone, then open V4A and make sure power is "on". Then open PowerAmp and start playing a song. Check back in V4A under driver status, it should say "Processing: Yes" and "Driver: Normal". Try switching to FX Compatible mode, reboot your phone, switch to FX Normal mode, and reboot again. Make sure you disabled DVC in PowerAmp. Basically, just keep closing and turning things on/off again until it works, I dunno.
Using V4A with Spotify
If you want Viper4Android to process music from Spotify, you need to go into Viper's Settings > FX Compatible Mode > Compatible. Compatible mode will process STREAMING audio, Normal mode will process LOCAL audio.

My phone processes all the sound in any application, only disadvantage with magisk is that viper4 2.5 does not detect the library, ask to install it on the system partition.
J510FN ☺
Viper ---> Normal state
Enforce
Do you know if this works with Stock Marshmallow on J510FN? Sat for eight hours yesterday with all methods and just want to check if anyone has tried it with this?
Sup people. This guide is adapted from this one
First and foremost, I'd recommend that anyone who uses magisk installs this module
1. Freeze any other audioFX, musixFX, dolby service etc using titanium backup
2. Rename /system/ect/audio_policy.conf to audio_policy.conf.bak
3. Install Selinux permissive script thru magisk
4. Install busybox thru magisk or play store
5. Install v4a thru magisk repo or here. (IF not installed thru magisk, you must install it as a system app. Do this by moving it to /system/app and setting permissions to rw-r--r--)
6. Reboot
Profit
ARISE Magnum Opus works fine. No need to do all this stuff

Bro, Arise Magnum Opus is an app?
Does it actually process though? That's been my big issue is viper says it is supported but never processing. Been that way ever since like Android 6 for me. Hit or miss processing. (never worked over a USB DAC). Does it process through the headphones with the dongle?
Edit: I installed the Arise Magnum Opus version of Viper.
It's a bit complicated. More than the standard flash a zip and have it work. But I got it working now. And processing through the DAC. My issue was it not processing GPM streams. Arise has a toggle for deep buffer for streaming that had to be turned off.
Since I've tried all the workarounds with Magisk Sound mod modules and none of them worked.
Finally got the Viper4Arise working. I'm sharing the steps that got it working on my XT1804 Stock 7.1.1.
Preparations:
Rooted Moto G5S Plus.
TWRP recovery installed.
Here's how it's done:
1. Download latest ARISE DeuteronomyAroma Installer zip.
2. Reboot to TWRP, click on instal, select downloaded zip and swipe to install.
Aroma installer will start.
3. Tap "Next"
4. Select "New User" and tap "Next"
5. Select "Core System, then Modules" and tap "Next"
6. Now keep tapping "Next" without changing already selected option on each module installation,deep_buffer from audio policy, selinux permissive, sdcard permission fix,etc page.
7. Tap "Next" on Ready to Install page.
8. After installation is complete. reboot to system.
9. Open Viper4Arise application from drawer and allow the required permissions.
10. Done. Keep playing with effects.
Not Working
Not working. Along with that installing 10s of bloatwares of no use.
I don't get it. Magnum Opus official installer works, why is this better?

Because it is an aroma installer this making it easier for newer people to use Arise I personally like magnum opus better but I can see the appeal of the aroma installer.
I just installed the Viper4Android FX Materialized module from Magisk. It only takes about five clicks of the volume key and I just selected the latest version of everything when it asks. I then disabled the AudioFX add-on that comes with Resurrection Remix (and possibly other ROMs) as this was taking priority over viper. Then go into the viper app and enable a few things and it works beautifully!
On my Axon 7 I use the Deuteronomy Aroma installer almost exclusively on all ROMs (with SU. I don't do Magisk). In a multiboot environment (DBP) it installs where others have failed.
Suppose I could give it a try here too.

I got it to install on Omni 11 but it doesn't work, sadly. Also a HUGE drain on the battery just having it installed. I'd say just stick with the built-in dolby stuff. Works better than I expected, although I do prefer V4A when it comes to headphones and sound systems.
Oh wow. That's a bummer. Viper4android is one of the main reasons why I still root my phones. The combination of dolby and viper on my OnePlus 7 pro is amazing.
yes it works and it works as intended. Complete the following steps to get it working and installed correctly. First you must download and install through magisk manager the audio compatibility patch (acp) after that install the newly updated viper4android zip from magisk as well and after it's done don't reboot just open the viperapp grant it super user permissions then it will install drivers and reboot automatically. Once booted back up your viper should be working normally

Unfortunately doesn't work for me. I'm on RR OS and tried numerous methods including the one you mentioned and it still keeps asking to install the driver again and again.. .
