This took me some hours this evening and a lot of trial and error but I was able to get it working. Note: if you are novice at playing with system files, don't bother to try this. It's not for the faint at heart. I can't provide support. You will also need Script Manger so you can fix permissions after placing the files. You must manually do all of this since we can't flash the zips! Make sure to Freeze the Sound Alive apk with TB also so there are no other music effects apps. Here's what I had to do:
1. Follow the instructions at this post first, extracting and placing files. Just don't reboot yet (thanks @TiTiB): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62365948&postcount=37
2. Download the two files mentioned here in this thread. You only need the audio policy script from the Lolliviper zip file to place in the system folder. Place the others from the ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip where needed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/how-to-installing-viper4android-v4a-t3136025
3. Take the latest Viper apk and place it in the system/priv-app folder.
4. Remember, make sure set all the needed permissions as you go along for ALL files above or none of this will work!
5. Reboot.
6. Open the Viper app, select the driver you want. Reboot.
7. If using Poweramp, you may or may not see the MusicFX control button whether you have it selected in advanced settings or not. I did not see it but it made no difference. Open the Viper app, turn on the settings and start playing music. Voila, it works! Works on my speaker too. Apparently permissive kernel isn't essential to make this work and that is the beauty of all this., because you can not use SElinux mode app on this kernel as some of you may know.
Have fun and good luck, at least you might be able to do this in much shorter time than I did.
One other thing I have found. You must set the scripts in system/su.d to run on boot with script manager so Viper will run after each reboot.
You can also get it to work by the following.
Install xposed
Install Wanam exposed module
In Wanam, under Security hacks
Disable Knox notification (I manually remove Knox)
Disable SEAndroid (changes to passive)
Install Viper4Android and update the driver

I could not get Xposed installed after rooting, tried the latest apk, etc. I read on that thread Xposed has issues with stock LP Samsung ROMs so I just forgot about it. I could have tried placing the files in the flashable zip manually but it didn't seem worth the risk. I'm glad you got it going because that way sounds faster.

What is xposed installer?
It is a framework!
It allows you to install little apps by which you can mod your XL.
Read Advantages for more info.
Only you will be responsible if anything happens to your phone!
Advantages:
No need to modify any APKs. This means:
No need to decompile, change things in smali, compile, sign, ...It will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs.Your mod is not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Hell, it will probably even work with different ROMs.Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they change the same package. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.
It does its magic at runtime. That means you can implement options to let the user decide if they prefer the bikeshed to be painted in red or blue. Or you can have some extra logic for certain ROMs without building different mod versions.
It can be disabled easily without having to reflash.
It's open source.
Download:
You can download the installer from the attachment or from thread mentioned above
How to install:
First step for everything you do: Create a nandroid backup and make sure you know how to restore it!
There is also the risk to soft-brick your device. In such a case, restoring a backup is the easiest way to get rid of it
Download XposedInstaller.apk and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
In case you get into a boot loop:
You can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
You could also create a file /data/xposed/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed as well.
Modules:
You can find modules collection here-

Installation process-
Download .apk and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)

So I know many of you enjoyed using this amazing mod in the past and something in our builds caused it to break after 4.3.1 roms started rolling out. Look no further as i have a fix for you that is guaranteed to work again.
Step 1.) For the first step you will need to edit your build.prop file found in /system folder. Personally i use Rom Toolbox lite (found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en) as it comes with a built in build.prop editor and root browser and it is free. Some of these edits may already be in your build.prop so check the edits posted below to see if they are already there or just need a slight change before just adding it as having 2 of the same edits with a different value may conflict with eachother
the edits are:
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
tunnel.audiovideo.decode=false
it may ask to reboot on some or just one of these but we can skip rebooting for now. once set we can now move forward.
Before starting the next step MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE AND UNINSTALL DSP MANAGER. you can do so via app manager in ROM Toolbox Lite.
Step 2.) Now we download viper4android according to your rom version. For 4.3.1 roms get this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android4x&hl=en
Once downloaded and installed you will now have to copy and paste it from /data/app to system/app. When it finishes copying over delete the app from /data/app as it will not work otherwise. Make sure permissions are properly set to rw-r--r-- or 0644 in numerical terms. Rom Toolbox will make this whole process easier and faster.
At this point you will now reboot your device for the next step
Step 3.) Once rebooted open the app and it will have you install its driver Select cortex A8 option (3rd one down). It will ask to reboot but dont do it yet. Last thing to do is while in viper4android app hit the sttings button and you will see a long list of things. Select FX Compatible Mode and switch from Normal to Compatible mode and now you reboot for it to take effect and work.
After this you are all set to start setting your sound otions in viper4android and enjoy
I Give great Thanks to:
@zhuhang for making this great app/mod
@jrummy for creating rom toolbox (another amazing app)
@Bradl79 for the build.prop idea
@bbgreen for confirming this works
And Anyone else i may have missed
If i have PM me and ill gladly add them in
So far for the headset option i have the following enabled and set
Under MASTER POWER:
Enable V4A-FX is checked and powered on
Under FIREQUALIZER:
Enabled is checked and powered on
Select Preset is set to Rock
Under DYNAMIC SYSTEM:
Enable is checked
Select Listening Device is set to Common Earphone (v2)
Select Dynamic Bass is set to 2 percent
Under FIDELITY CONTROL:
Enable ViPER Bass is checked
Select Bass Mode is set to Natural Bass
Select Bass Frequency is set to 100Hz
Enable ViPER Clarity is checked
Select Clarity Mode is set to XHiFi
Select Clarity is set to 3.5 db
thats all i have set for now but i'm using skullkandy heaphones with this setup will vary for other headphone brands and models. with this setup it gets very loud and clear as well as amazing bass so dont damage your eardrums lol

Been trying to get this to work for a while as well as you may recall from past comments. Sure this guide will produce a desired "universal" sound effect as before? I had no luck with SoundCloud getting processed by V4A after this. However, I may needed to retry steps verbatim on a fresh ROM install too as I had some other conflicting things to clean up along the way.
Idk about soundcloud...I does work like it did before in Apollo...my guess is that its directing to basic sound while using other apps or stuff like soundcloud

Nice find Rev! Works great.
Thanks for the write up I just tried it. Unfortunately it only seems to work with Apollo. When I try it with Power Amp or Pandora it no longer works. On my old sense 4.0 ROM viper4android would modify those programs as well Ive tried the current version and the version off the play store with the same results. Thanks for the write up though very easy to follow.
Please post any questions about Viper4Android here not just 4.3 ROMs.

How To Bake Viper4Android into a ROM zip (BASED OFF OFF v.2322)
@REV3NT3CH Consider adding this to the thread (Not trying to hijack the thread) this may be super long
@PTuT @Chucktr you asked for a pm of how to bake v4a into a rom, i decided to post it here for everyone
If you dont want to download the apk and install the apk/drivers you can merge the drivers and app from your pc.
ill probably end up making a script for this but right now i don't mind copying it into new builds for now
Latest apk - http://www.mediafire.com/download/z1mqg58hz1sfais/ViPER4Android_FX_v2322.zip
driver - http://d-h.st/xHh
driver config - http://d-h.st/axM
i usually use 7zip for archive viewer ect..
1. Open the rom zip in 7zip or whatever you choose to use
2. In 7zip navigate to "system/priv-app/" and drag/drop the apk you downloaded into the 7zip window.
3. In 7zip back out of the "prive-app" folder and navigate to "system/lib/soundfx/" and drag/drop libv4a_fx_ics.so you downloaded into the 7zip window
4. in 7zip back out of "soundfx" & "lib" and navigate to "system/ect/" and drag/drop audio_effects.conf you downloaded into the 7zip window
Exit 7zip, Now you have the app and driver baked in the rom :good:
Now what happens when any of this stuff gets update?.... well
Drag/drop the latest apk to priv-app (obviously lol)
The Driver can be pulled from the inside the apk in the assets folder using 7zip. Use any of the drivers containing "libv4a_fx_ics_NEON" based on the quality of the driver they are named different but i use libv4a_fx_ics_NEON_HQ, rename it to libv4a_fx_ics.so and copy it to the rom zip
We cant use the JB drivers on jb or kk, only ics
i dont know how often audio_effects.conf gets updated but just add the fallowing to the audio_effects.conf in the rom zip (ONLY IF NEEDED) the download link above should be good fine good for a while:
Line 9 to 11 :
v4a_fx {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
}
Line 69 to 72:
v4a_standard_fx {
library v4a_fx
uuid 41d3c987-e6cf-11e3-a88a-11aba5d5c51b
}
all of this is based off of v.2322 so i cannot guarantee this to work within the next year or so ect... if someone updated something

OK everyone, there seems to be mass confusion on what to do to get Viper4Android running, this guide should help clear that confusion.
DO NOT USE THESE FILES UNLESS YOU HAVE A NEXUS 6P. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY USE FILES DESIGNED FOR OTHER PHONES.
Firstly: Are you running normal root or systemless root?
If you are running systemless root I suggest you switch over to normal root to get things working. So far, systemless root has been a roadblock for some people and Viper4Android starts acting up with systemless root installed.
Secondly: Have you flashed any of the billion V4A recovery flashable zips?
If yes, restore your system partition as those have a billion and one differently modified files that will probably screw over how your phone functions.
Thirdly: Do you have enough room in the /system and /vendor partitions?
Install the Busybox binaries (linked below) and open a terminal (using your favorite terminal app, or Terminal Emulator) and run
Code:
df
and make sure that you have enough room for the files.
If your /system partition is full, try deleting common apps like Chrome or Drive and install them from the Play Store as user apps instead.
If your /vendor partition is full, there isn't much to fix other than if you installed overlays for Layers, try uninstalling one (some overlays can go up to 400KB, like ones for Chrome). However, it may seem that you don't need to worry about the /vendor partition, more on that below.
OK, now it is time to continue.
If you don't want to follow this guide, then you can use Lollviper's recovery flashable zip, as it works just fine. Use the standard zip, and not the surround zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
Choose your favorite v2.3.4.0 version of V4A and install it to /system/priv-app/. Just create a folder with the same name as the APK, give it the same permissions as the other folders, and drop the APK in it making sure to also give it the permissions that the other APKs get. If you encounter issues with a customized version of V4A, I suggest you use the standard version. So far, Lolliviper seems to work.
Make sure to install BusyBox, I recommend this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
If the files linked below can't be downloaded, use the zip file at the bottom of this post and continue following the guide.
Now, download this file (49_viper4android.sh) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcp77ul41m...ndroid.sh?dl=0
And create a folder called su.d in /system/. The path should be /system/su.d/, and then give it permissions 0700 with root:root, and drop the script into the folder with permission 0755 with root:root. This script will allow V4A access to mediaserver, so it can see audio to do it's magic. You can make sure that the script worked on boot by checking /data/v4a_script.txt for if it exists, or, was modified recently to correlate with you booting your phone.
Now do the same for this file (audio_effects.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/57y44o74dk...ects.conf?dl=0
And drop the file in /system/etc/ AND in /system/vendor/etc/ (alternatively you can go to /vendor/etc/ as it's actually the same folder). Both of the files should have permissions 0644 with root being the owner and group. This modified file will allow V4A to be used as an equalizer and allow it to do magic in your audio. Quick note, if V4A keeps asking to install the driver, then delete the audio_effects.conf in /system/vendor/etc/ and don't worry about it.
Now the file which will allow V4A to work system-wide, like in YouTube (audio_policy.conf) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/yi8u3j91z3...licy.conf?dl=0
And drop it in /system/etc/ and give it permissions 0644 with root being owner and group, and you are good to go. This modified file removes the "deep_buffer" module that made it so apps that don't hook into Viper4Android (apps that aren't music players) wouldn't have their audio processed. Some of the flashable zips included modified files, but usually only for the Nexus 5.
Now disable or delete the app MusicFX:
This is necessary as Google Play Music will use MusicFX over Viper4Android if the app isn't disabled.
That should be it, you can now continue with your installation of Viper4Android and it should work.
Issues:

Why do you guys need this? Audio reproduction is excellent and this will only make it sound worse. The only way to improve the sound would be better headphones and/or amp.
Thanks @Namelesswonder for the help .. I have not used your steps might use them based on other users findings and plus these steps will have to redone upon every ROM flash..
I believe all this could be done with a flashable zip , I know we had flashable zips for Nexus5.
@AndrasLOHF I see you have Nexus6P now , will you be able to help us out
Thanks

I haven't rooted or anything yet. From my experience on all the dev previews I would think the Lolliviper zips would still install fine just as they used to. Just don't use the Surround Sound zip.
Thank you! Works great on Nexus 6p. Can't live without the Viper.

Yeah, I just checked it and Lolliviper flashable does work just fine, I'll put it up in the post. My intent for this post was to just outline how to install it without using flashable zips as people were using the wrong ones and having troubles.

You misread what I said. If you like crappy sound, you like crappy sound, nothing can be done about that. Running audio thru any software filter will degrade the quality, period.
I flashed the lolliviper zip, but viper4android keeps asking me to install drivers (even after install and reboot).
Edit: I'll re-flash and wipe dalvik/cache and try again.
Edit 2: Yup, still having the same issue. It also takes awhile for the driver install to happen too (even though it doesn't actually work).

OK then, try using my way instead. Weird, because flashing the zip worked for me. Do you have systemless root? Try renaming the audio_effects.conf in /vendor/etc/, checking the permissions on audio_effects.conf and audio_policy.conf in /system/etc/, and checking that the 50viper.sh file in /system/su.d/ at least has permissions 0755.

I don't have systemless root, but I'll look into the permissions.
Edit: All my permissions look fine. I'll try and tinker around some more. Still not sure why the driver isn't installing.
You probably need more space in the system partition. Delete an app and reinstall from there play store.

Hi guys,
How does this improve audio quality from the speakers? Coming from Boomsound the speakers on the 6P seem to lack any kind of bass. Could viper help in that department?

Because you can tune the way the speakers sound to your liking. It makes the phones speaker and any headphones sound much better than they normally do.
Hi Guys this is a tutorial on how to install Viper4Android on J5 and set it up for 100% working. Follow the instruction and you will be able to install Viper4Android on your J5.
After trying unsuccessfully for many times I finally had working V4A. Many of you may be facing the same situation, so just want to help those people.
INTRODUCTION:
What is Viper4Android?
Viper4Android is audio mod which can be installed on rooted Android devices to enhance the audio quality of the device. This beautiful mod delivers a great audio output with the default settings but you can fine tune it further to optimize the audio output to your liking.
ViPER’s Audio is founded by Euphy Wong (known as ViPER520). ViPER’s Audio has been a popular audio mod in China. Co-founder Jasper Loo (known as zhuhang) extended its popularity globally through xda-developers forum. It has now gained fame and stand its ground in the audio mod field. Now it runs on two platforms one is Android and second is windows and it is one of the most popular sound mod among audiophiles.
ViPER’s Audio is an audio enhancing software to provide everyone with better audio experiences in various platforms such as smartphones and PCs. It is the first ever mod which has implemented convolver.
The main feature of V4A is convolver.
So what is Convolver?
When an IRS is loaded, via convolver V4A will process the sound to show the same exact characteristics as the loaded sample. Through Convolution, samples with effects such as equalizer, surround, reverberation, tube etc can be simulated.
Installing V4A
Requirements:
1) Rooted android phone (In our case J5)
2) Busybox installed
3) File Explorer (Root Explorer)
Procedure:
1) Download the files from the link given below. ( I have provided all the necessary files on a zip file)
2) Extract the zip file. You will get some apk files and audio_effects.conf file.
3) Now install Root explorer and Selinux mode changer apk file as normal installation.
4) Now open root explorer and navigate to system/priv-app and copy paste Viper4Android apk there.
5) Now again navigate to system/etc. There you will find audio_effects.conf file. Rename it to audio_effects.conf.bak Now copy paste audio_effects.conf file that you downloaded to system/etc.
6) Now you need to set permission for both Viper4android apk which is at system/priv-app and audio_effects.conf file which is at system/etc to rw-r--r--. This is very important. Search in google if you don’t know to set permission. Than reboot your device.
7) After your device reboots you will see V4A installed. Open it and it will ask you to install driver. Give permission to install driver as well as root access. After the driver is installed it will ask you to reboot the device. Close V4A and open Selinux mode changer app and change the mode to permissive. Reboot your device.
8) Once your device is rebooted open V4A and enable it. Congratulation you have successfully installed Viper4Android . Enjoy the great music experience. Now you can change the Viper settings or fine tune it according to your liking.

Have a look at the downloads that come with zoniks performance Rom.
It's worth contacting him to see if u can use them on your Rom or if he could make you a copy for your Rom

Hi Guys this is a tutorial on how to install Viper4Android on J5 and set it up for 100% working. Follow the instruction and you will be able to install Viper4Android on your J5.
After trying unsuccessfully for many times I finally had working V4A. Many of you may be facing the same situation, so just want to help those people.
INTRODUCTION:
What is Viper4Android?
Viper4Android is audio mod which can be installed on rooted Android devices to enhance the audio quality of the device. This beautiful mod delivers a great audio output with the default settings but you can fine tune it further to optimize the audio output to your liking.
ViPER’s Audio is founded by Euphy Wong (known as ViPER520). ViPER’s Audio has been a popular audio mod in China. Co-founder Jasper Loo (known as zhuhang) extended its popularity globally through xda-developers forum. It has now gained fame and stand its ground in the audio mod field. Now it runs on two platforms one is Android and second is windows and it is one of the most popular sound mod among audiophiles.
ViPER’s Audio is an audio enhancing software to provide everyone with better audio experiences in various platforms such as smartphones and PCs. It is the first ever mod which has implemented convolver.
The main feature of V4A is convolver.
So what is Convolver?
When an IRS is loaded, via convolver V4A will process the sound to show the same exact characteristics as the loaded sample. Through Convolution, samples with effects such as equalizer, surround, reverberation, tube etc can be simulated.
Installing V4A
Requirements:
1) Rooted android phone (In our case J5)
2) Busybox installed
3) File Explorer (Root Explorer)
Procedure:
1) Download the files from the link given below. ( I have provided all the necessary files on a zip file)
2) Extract the zip file. You will get some apk files and audio_effects.conf file.
3) Now install Root explorer and Selinux mode changer apk file as normal installation.
4) Now open root explorer and navigate to system/priv-app and copy paste Viper4Android apk there.
5) Now again navigate to system/etc. There you will find audio_effects.conf file. Rename it to audio_effects.conf.bak Now copy paste audio_effects.conf file that you downloaded to system/etc.
6) Now you need to set permission for both Viper4android apk which is at system/priv-app and audio_effects.conf file which is at system/etc to rw-r--r--. This is very important. Search in google if you don’t know to set permission. Than reboot your device.
7) After your device reboots you will see V4A installed. Open it and it will ask you to install driver. Give permission to install driver as well as root access. After the driver is installed it will ask you to reboot the device. Close V4A and open Selinux mode changer app and change the mode to permissive. Reboot your device.
8) Once your device is rebooted open V4A and enable it. Congratulation you have successfully installed Viper4Android . Enjoy the great music experience. Now you can change the Viper settings or fine tune it according to your liking.

A other way to install viper4android is through Magisk.
1. You need to unroot remove SuperSU root.
2. Download Magisk zip and flash in recovery.
3. Install Magisk manager on play store.
4. Install viper4android Magisk module and its apk.

How do you unroot removing SuperSU root ??
I have rooted my J5 (2015 6.0.1 Stock) with SuperSu flashed with recovery (SU binary installed in /su/bin/su).
Greetings.

All credit goes to XDA member guitardedhero. I've had a lot of problems installing V4A in the past, but I've been able to use it and it enhances your sound by a fair margin, if of course, you know how to use it. This method only works for Nougat ROMs like ResurrectionRemix, CM14, etc.
Getting to it, you need :
- Root
- A custom recovery, twrp or cwm
- How to use custom recoveries
- Viper4android zip file.
- ES file explorer or Root explorer (Basically any file explorer with root exploring capabilities)
- Patience.
I am in no way responsible for any damage to your device and I will not be held responsible for the thermonuclear war that may or may not be caused.
I've tested the given procedure on CM14 and ResurrectionRemix and BeanStalk myself.
Instructions :
- Download the "Viper4Android_2.5.0.5_ guitardedhero.zip" from the link below.
- Place it in an accessible location on your phone.
- Reboot to recovery.
- Flash the zip file.
- Turn your phone back on.
- Go to /vendor/etc through ES File Explorer.
- Rename the file "audio_effects.conf" to "audio_effects.conf.bak".
- Open V4A.
- Select to install drivers now.
- Accept prompt for root permissions.
- Insert that patience you collected earlier.
- It'll ask to reboot when it's done. Reboot the device.
- Congratulations. You have successfully installed V4A on your Nougat device.
I am not claiming anything, but the above method worked on 2 of my Motorola Devices running CM14 as well.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I don't follow.
Does it work with any irs file?
I used ARISE for my lineageos and it works pretty well except the convolver part, sometimes it doesn't made any different at all even tho I changed the irs. Is this work with any .irs file?

Well, that depends on the .irs file. Some of them work, and some of them don't. Some .irs files even make the V4A app crash. That's the main reason why I haven't included any links for .irs files. It is basically a hit and trial process. I found this link in the miui forums, with 300 or so .irs files, and I checked each one of them, and a lot of them made the app crash. So, keep trying until you hit the right sound.
