ViPER4Android is one of Android’s most popular and widely used Audio Equalizers or Mods. It offers system sound customizations without any restrictions or permissions. However, to install and use ViPER4Android on your device, your device should be rooted first. Without root access, you can’t use this module. It’s worth mentioning that ViPER4Android is a Magisk Module and can be installed via Magisk.
Therefore, your Android 10 running device should have Magisk installed at first. Magisk is the systemless root process that enables full root access without affecting the system’s core files of your device. That means no security-concern app, security functionality, banking apps, or even Google’s SafetyNet feature won’t hurt your usage experience after rooting.
