My MI5 runs official global MIUI 8.2.2.0 rooted with SuperSU and v4a installed.
I am using AWEI A885BL bluetooth headset and it is working just fine.
my old s4 (i9505) with rooted stock ROM detected this headset (and previous one I had - some cheap noname bluetooth headset)

Here's the guide mate;
DISCLAIMER: I'll not be responsible for any damage caused to your device, earphone or the knife you use to slice apples by following this guide.
First off, your phone needs to be rooted, since V4A needs proper root to work.
All links to needed files will be placed at the bottom of this post. I'm assuming that you have downloaded and install all of them.
[UPDATE] : I had forgotten to mention this the first time i wrote this guide, but if you're on MIUI, you need to disable MusicFX (or uninstall with a system app remover) otherwise V4A will not be used to process your audio. Same goes for other stock equalizers like AudioFX or DOLBY or Beats etc.
Steps after confirming you have root access.
1. Check if you have any version of BusyBox on your phone via the BusyBox app, if not, then proceed to install it from the BusyBox app.
2. Open SELinux Toggler, grant it root access and set it to permissive. Also, if you're on MIUI, enable autostart for it in Security app.
3. Now, Open up Viper4Android, grant it root access and permission to storage, it'll ask to install drivers, press "yes" on the dialog box and wait till it says that drivers were installed successfully. After that reboot your phone.
4. Once your phone starts, fire open Viper4Android, if it doesn't show any message, it means that the drivers have been installed.
5. You can now enjoy V4A goodness. If you need help setting it up, reply to this post or check the XDA for threads on setting it up.
6. Drop a thanks to the developers' threads on XDA, they deserve it.
Links:
BusyBox
SELinux Toggler
Viper4Android v2.5.0.5
Notes/Known Issues:
1. Sometimes, the V4A driver isn't installed even though it says it is, if this happens it either means you don't have enough space in the system partition or there's some IO error, if this happens, reply to this post or check other threads for solution.
2. We all know MIUI memory management is crap, often times it will boot out the V4A app, leaving you without any effects . The best you can do to avoid it is set it to "no restrictions" in the Settings>Battery & Performance>Manage Apps Battery Usage>Choose Apps, then keep V4A locked in the recents screen.
3. Need help setting V4A up, just check xda for guides on that or ask me.
4. If you've set it all up, laid back and started to listen to something to relax you after all the work and it still doesn't feel like there's any difference, then fire open V4A, slide right for the menu and click "Driver status", if it says "abnormal", "unsupported" then you've probably forgotten to give autostart permission to SELinux Toggler, simple fix for this is to open SElinux Toggler and set it to permissive, this time remember to enable autostart for it.
5. If I helped a thanks would be much appreciated.
my Experience with Viper and MI5
I had a problem with the viper4android, which consisted of the calls not working, the phone made the call, but you could not speak because they were not listening.

I don't think V4A has anything to do with that. V4A only has an effect on your headphone audio, speaker audio, bluetooth audio and when you're using it for USB docking. Calls use none of those unless you put them on speakerphone. Are you sure that V4A is causing this?

But it was, I could hear the calls and after I installed the viper I stopped being able to listen, I went to the official viper xda post and noticed that I was not the only one with this problem, remembering that I'm using the developer rom 7.7. 20 (nougat).
After I uninstalled the viper the phone became normal again and worked perfectly.
Viper worked fine, I just had this bug that needs to be fixed.

Yep, thanked your post for the helpful step-by-step. I have a problem that's not covered in your guide, though - V4A isn't processing audio from my phone. That is, the driver status always look something like this:
Driver Version: 2.5.0.4
NEON Enabled: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Status: Normal
Audio Format: Supported
Processing: No
Sampling Rate: 48000
and there's perceptibly no difference between having the driver off or on with the master switch. Any ideas?

Hmm...Seems like your music player isn't using V4A to process the audio. I use mine only when I have headset connected, if i'm not playing anything, it shows exact same thing in my driver status. But if i play something, the driver status shows "Yes" for processing. I use BlackPlayer Ex, it allows you to use its own equalizer or your system's stock equalizer(v4a in my case). Maybe you should give that a try, but I'm not sure if that is the problem.
One thing I do know though is that if there is no audio playing on your phone, processing will (and should) show "No".
UPDATE: If you're on MIUI, you need to disable MusicFX. If you're on a custom ROM, then audioFX needs to be disabled. Will update my original guide with this too. Forgot to mention it there.
This is probably gonna fix it for you.
I have been using this Audio Mod for about a year, but found AINUR Audio Mod, which is AWESOME!!! Ainur achieved easily what I have been trying to do with music playback (tighter mids & bass), easier and without hassle. Gonna use Ainur from now on. Download latest beta (Oreo compatible) from their Telegram chat.
Ainur mod is best applied from clean slate, ie no other audio mod should exist on your rom before you flash it from TWRP.
From TWRP:
Flash rom
Flash GApps (optional)
Flash custom kernel (optional)
root using SuperSU or Magisk (mandatory)
Note: I could never get companion DSPs (below) to work under Oreo Magisk, the DSP apps never show up. So if you want to use Magisk, install Nougat roms to make it work. If you use Oreo, use SuperSU.
reboot to rom (mandatory), setup SuperSU or Magisk app
Back to TWRP:
Flash companion DSPs (optional)
- JamesDSP (file JamesDSPManager_ARM.zip, build Nov 3rd) Uninstaller
Note: JamesDSP is very good, but only works with Nougat coz Oreo will BOOTLOOP!, after launch app, from 3-dot menu, select Global Direct
- ViPER4Android
- AM3D Zirene
- Dolby Atmos
Finally, flash AINUR Audio mod (I prefer beta5, but latest beta6-fixed2 is good too, higher clarity). To uninstall AINUR, flash the zip again. sauron_useroptions file is not recommended at the moment, it could make speakers/headphones go totally mute.
Recommended player: foobar2000 (1st choice), PowerAmp (2nd choice)
Enjoy!
Don't flash JamesDSP on Oreo, it will FC, factory reset and boot straight into TWRP.
On Nougat, JamesDSP is working very well, doesn't drain battery at all. Even without any DSP (ie on Oreo), sound quality is much better than ARISE or Viper4Android.
Try it and be amazed. Vocal is detailed, bass is tight & punchy.
So this won't happen in Oreo at all?

If using Oreo, just flash the latest Ainur Sauron mod only, every other DSP will NOT work at this moment (eg JamesDSP, Viper4Android)
if using Nougat, the other DSPs will work, JamesDSP is much better than Viper4Android
the latest beta9 (release candidate) provides very good SQ, u don't need anything else, except a good player like Neutron
my personal impressions: sound quality is greatly enhanced, increased vocal & instrument details, tightened bass. Highly recommended, everyone should try it.
main support at the telegram chat
CLEAN INSTALL only
requirements: Magisk (recommended) or SuperSU
flash the Ainur Sauron zip using TWRP
to uninstall: flash the zip again
WARNING: after flash, a file name sauron_useroptions will be copied to internal SDcard, do not activate any options at this moment, it has the potential to totally disable all sounds in the phone, if you want to play with the file, go to telegram chat for support
I flashed before I read. I'm so sorry, but everything's working tho. I flashed, UO appeared. Edited it, flash again, and then reflashed. Everything seems to be working. I hear difference only when using earplugs. Though maybe because it's just really hard to hear the difference in the speaker. But it does sound kind of crispier. Like, the bass are really whole. Phone's 28% volume in earplugs sounds like 125% of my VLC on Windows.
---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------
If anyone wants my UO, just ask.
revert to beta8-fixed2 if there are problems/bugs

The 1st time I played with UO, everything works except alarms, so I was late for work the next day, the alarm did ring all right but there was no sound. LOL
Make sure you test everything, including calls, alarms, recordings etc
Yep. Alarm rang earlier. Seems to be working.
In-Call Voice volume is so high, I love it. Crispy voices all over. Notifs are crispy as well. Messenger notification sounds are good. Nothing seems broken. Will keep on testing.
SAURON MK II BETA 11 (release candidate)
Note: this release have less bass due to requests from metal/rock music users, but have increased soundstage & clarity. Use JamesDSP to tune higher & tight bass
If you need better bass, roll back to Beta 10 hotfix RC
JamesDSP supports Oreo 8.1, however I could never get JamesDSP Manager to consistently appear while using Magisk, so I switched to SuperSU (systemless using Aroma Config). Problem solved.
Code:
! CLEAN INSTALL ONLY !
Magisk - remove Sauron & AML in magisk
For supersu (or other root solutions) - double flash prev beta to delete, or dirty flash the rom
! User options should be placed to internal storage as before!
Stock unset UO is now part of the zip, if you don't place it to internal sd - zip will do that for you on the first flash
! ! ! FLASHING ONLY IN TWRP ! ! !
Changelog :
- Various fixes
- HW Dolby turns HW DTS HPX and vice versa scenario
- DMA substreams buffer lowered values
- Core libs replacements (still too bassy, some people listening to rock complain about that)

I would also advise against this mod. Although I have used ARISE in my previous phones, it crashes on ZMPM1. SElinux is set to permissive and all other audio mods were uninstalled. Still it crashed and rebooted to recovery everytime.
Since it overwrites many system files, it has also probably interfered with apps some of which become unresponsive. I will have to flash TWRP V327 again since it is almost impossible to isolate the issues.

V4A (Magisk Module) worked for me without touching the se policy or installing busy box. However, after trying out this mod and subsequently deleting it I find V4A asking for busy box installation and then driver installation error. I will try afresh after flashing v327 through TWRP again

Oh hard luck!
Thanks. Can't systemless busybox + init.d injector work? You can try perhaps for v4a to get working.
This audio mod and ainur sauron change the system partition hence i thought it would be better to ask someone who already got it working.

Tried it but something is breaking driver installation. I neither have the expertise nor the the patience to check cfg files in audio policy or elsewhere. Too many system overwrites. Flashing stock seems to be the way to go.
Another curious development which may or may not be related -
1) Safety Net check now fails.
2) Making a TWRP backup of the installed ROM fails at System Image.

Uh oh. Better to stay away from this mod then.
I've been using viper4android xHiFi, it works perfectly and the audio quality is exactly the way I want it to be.

You dont need an app.... Because
Arise modifies the system files...its not an effect that applies on top of streaming music...
Also, Arise has different music profiles/presents....you can try them also(avaliable in the same aroma installation)
..Feel the difference..
Now we have root with a couple of already patched magisks....I'd like to get ViperFX working. Driver continuesly installs. I've tried compatible mode too to no avail.
I downloaded the Legacy version, will try the "newer" version to see if that works. Will report back.
I was able to get Viper4Android (XDA version) working on my 4 XL with Audio Modification Library from Magisk Manager.
Here's what I did to get it working:
-Install Viper from XDA (don't launch Viper just yet)
-Install Audio Modification Library from Magisk Manager (don't reboot!)
-NOW, launch the Viper apk you just installed, grant Viper superuser access, and then your device should automatically reboot
-Once rebooted, open up Viper again, it may ask you to install the driver again, go ahead and install (This took me 3 reboots until Viper finally kicked in)
-You will know viper is up and running right after reboot when you see a viper logo in your notification!
-Enjoy
EDIT: The following steps above doesn't necessarily quite get system wide equalization working. After a few days of testing and additional tweaking, here are a new set of instructions that installs Viper to allow system wide equalization except one thing, Google Maps navigation audio. I can not figure out for the life of me how to get this working so if anyone does happen to get theirs working on the 4 XL, PLEASE let me know. I would greatly appreciate it!
If you're like me and am just used to defaulting to Google Maps, a little workaround is to change the navigation audio to "softer" in Maps settings to help with the extreme audio transitions when viper stops processing when the next turn direction is being played and then starts processing right after. Not really a full solution, but still not the end of the world.
This time, you will need Audio Modification Library and Audio Compatibility Patch.
Here it is:
1. Install Viper from XDA (don't launch Viper just yet)
2. Install Audio Modification Library from Magisk Manager (don't reboot!)
3. NOW, launch the Viper apk you just installed, grant Viper superuser access, and then your device should automatically reboot
4. Once rebooted, open up Viper again, it may ask you to install the driver again, go ahead and install (This took me 3 reboots until Viper finally kicked in)
4a. You will know viper is up and running right after reboot when you see a viper logo in your notification!
5. Go back to Magisk Manager and now install Audio Compatibility Patch
5a. Select NO (volume down) on audio_policy, then PATCH (new logic) (volume up)
5b. The step below is optional but if you want to get rid of the "ducking" sound when a notification sound pops in, then do the following OTHERWISE just select YES (volume up):
-- Select NO (volume down) on notification_helper remover, then REMOVE notification_helper EFFECT (volume up)
5c. usb policy patching you can select YES (volume up) [I don't use any usb dacs so if your Viper installation does have issues with your usb then you may want to tinker around this area]
5d. Select YES (volume up) for lib workaround
5e. Go ahead and reboot
6. Enjoy!
Just grab the latest from XDA labs, version 2.7 I think. When you open it it'll ask to install the driver and reboot. It takes like 3 or 4 times for it to take for some reason. It DOES work though. I have it installed without issue on mine. You don't need anything but the app with this app version.
Yep, it works. Nice highs and bass is what I needed.
Is anyone having difficulty with the Viper effects stop working when using google maps navigation? Whenever google starts talking, Viper stops processing and continues to stop processing until I manually restart the phone.
Noob question, viper works great but doesn't process Spotify. What is the newest trick to get that working M I have tried compatibility mode as well.
my phone feels very laggy after doing this anyone else
I can't get the audio quality I had on my S8+. I can not figure I out. I followed the OP. MY AIRPODS even maxed volume are so low for phone calls, Pandora is slightly better. The phone speaker blasts sounds. Ideas?
I've tried installing the driver multiple times and can't seem to make it work at all. The only method I've not been able to accomplish is renaming audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak as has been recommended for other phones. For some reason, this file will not rename.
it would seem the file is set to be unwritable (I'm not familiar with linux permissions like this, so maybe that can be fixed somehow?). At the very least, Solid Explorer isn't able to do the job, and can't change the rw perms either, as the operation just fails. (I have got selinuxmodechanger changed to permissive and after reboot, but no change here either)
Any other ideas?
Well, for anyone else wanting to know how to make this work, follow this guide here: https://thedroidarena.com/install-viper4android-android-10-q/
Don't use the magisk module for V4A, it doesn't work.
Works great for me now!
I'm using it it works perfect but you have to use the new version not the older one

Well, for anyone else wanting to know how to make this work, follow this guide here: https://thedroidarena.com/install-viper4android-android-10-q/
Don't use the magisk module for V4A, it doesn't work.
Works great for me now!

Do you still have that apk lying around? XDA Labs does not appear to be working ATM.

I saw that, didn't really know what it did. I'll check it out.
Nothing in JamesDSP is doing anything for me on Speakers, Headphones, or Bluetooth. I think that this may beacause of my failed install of V4A rootless (might work if I had the APK?). Any ideas if this is the problem? If It is, do you know how I might uninstall V4A?
If rooted, try installing latest V4A directly from here (https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx) rather than via Magisk.
I prefer older V4A versions, having tried above.
My preferred V4A is 2.5.0.5 (found in App folder in following .zip from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298920860)
1. Ensure on latest BusyBox.
2. Install latest V4A from Magisk & download driver, device will auto-restart.
3. Uninstall this latest V4A (don't delete data or cache).
4. Install V4A 2.5.0.5 .apk from above link. Don't open app yet.
5. From Magisk, install Audio Modification Library (choose relevant options). Restart device.
6. Additionally, Magisk install Audio Compatibility Patch. Restart device.
7. Ensure V4A settings FX compatible mode option = Normal.
(Don't optmise V4A in battery settings).
Noticeable improvement in speaker volume (I don't play over BT or headphones, so cannot comment).

I uninstalled everythingg I had installed up to that point (everything I could at least), and followed the instructions step by step. Still getting abnormal in the V4A app (at least the app looks cooler now : P). I really don't know what is going on at this point. I might just reset the whole phone and follow your instructions again. I will report back when I get around to that.
Ok, I decided to play around a little before trying a reset; and I installed Viper 4 Android legacy with the APK from the zip you gave me, and it now says audio format supported! Yay! It just says "Processing: no" now. I have a feeling that I have something setup wrong. Any ideas?
Edit: Grammer
You managed to install driver v.2.5.0.5 or latest v4a?
Processing should change to "Yes" whilst audio is playing (music player/ YouTube/ system sounds etc).
Streaming music can be hit & miss; set up Audio Compatibility Patch correctly (via Magisk).

I installed driver version 2.5.0.4 with the APK you pointed me towards in the .zip/viperfx/app folder.
I will reinstall the audio conpatibily patch. What options should I choose in the patch?
Edit: I did not install the driver *with* the APK, but alongside it. I installed the driver via ViperFX Legacy in Magisk.
Try the ACP if V4A not working for streaming music apps.
I selected following:
- Skip audio_policy patching? = NO
- Skip notification_helper remover? = YES
- Skip usb policy patching for usb dacs? = NO
- Use lib workaround? = NO

That's fine, as long as V4A driver is enabled/ status normal/ format supported/ and it is processing during audio play.

It still isn't processing audio : (. I have tried resetting and following your instructions again. The only way I am able to get it to stop displaying "Status: Abnormal" is by installing Viper4Android FX Legacy in the new driver mode with the user app, then installing the Audio Modification and compatibility patch, then restarting and installing the APK you gave me. Even with all that, it will not recognize audio being played (it displays "Processing: No" when audio is very clearly playing and I have effects enabled). I am now considering switching to LineageOS (I would be there already if it wasn't for the fingerprint sensor driver being broken).
Edit: Do you think switching kernels would change anything?
Edit 2: I noticed a toast notification from V4A on startup saying "A running program has requested Android to disable audio effects, so V4A will be temporarily disabled."
I am thinking that maybe the stock Dirac audio processing might be interfering with V4A somehow. Is there anyway to get Viper to ignore requests to disable?
Well, Lineage didn't fix anything (No matter what I did, V4A would not stop displaying abnormal). Took me a little while to get back to stock, but the latest version of V4A is working, but only for the first 30 seconds after reboot before giving me the previously mentioned toast notification. I have removed all apps that are even remotely audio processing related, but still have this problem. Anybody else had something similar? If you did, how did you fix it?
(Also, special thanks to elmor0 for all of your help getting me this far I'm so close)
Edit: Holy shiz it's working! I used the method described in my previous post, but with the added step of uninstalling and reinstalling audio modification library after the last reboot. Again thank you all for your help! And I really hope this helps someone!

I ended up refllashing with Lineage and installing this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-fix-100-working-viper4android-for-android-11-devices.4213647/
That version has worked flawlessly for me for Android 10 and 11.
Good luck!
