We always look forward to tweaking our experience on our Android smartphones/tablets, either by installing custom ROMs, or even tweaking the framework using Xposed Modules. But there is another factor that highly influences Android users, and it's the audio experience, especially for wired audio.
Most of music lovers might be well aware of ViPER4Android – it is a leading audio enhancement tool available. Yes, there are a lot of others including Beats and Dolby, but nothing beats V4A if you have it configured right. Personally, I have been using this mod for over three weeks now, my phones have changed, their Android version also, but V4A did stick to the app drawer.
With the upbringing of the latest Android update, it was quiet tricky to get ViPER4Android on Marshmallow. But, the developer - zhuhang did make the transition and has finally brought the mod to work with v2.4.0.1 (7 Feb, 2016).
Now, without wasting your time, let us head over on how you can set up ViPER4Android on Marshmallow running devices, like in our case it is the Samsung S5.
NOTE
Installing mods on your Android device might leave it non-functional or even soft-brick it. Dizboy will not be responsible if anything such happens.

Prerequisites
To install V4A, you must have a rooted phone. If you haven’t rooted yet, you can check for your device in our Rooting section.
Make sure no other audio mods are installed, like AudioFX. If there is, you will need to remove then completely.

Also, you must have BusyBox installed on your ROM. You can download it by clicking this link Download Now
(You can try other busybox installer apps, but if you face issues while installing V4A drivers, you must install this one.)
In case the driver installation fails – It seems like some manufacturer specific devices require SELinux status to be set as Permissive.
