Root DSPManager ROCKS! (audio upgrade)

[Peanutbutter_N_Jelly]

I've been using this too for audio through my headphones too and it's great. FYI, it's baked into Ruby 1.1.1 and CM 6.0.2

 

[necosino]

IncredibleDoes puts this into all the ROMs he releases.

So is it confirmed that when i upgrade to virtuous 3.0 i have to re install this?

Yep. i just installed it and my icon is still on my screen but the app is not in the app drawer and the screen icon does not function.

EDIT: LOL, the only reason the app was still on my screen probably is because I was referencing it through the Multicon app.

EDIT AGAIN: I did notice that I still have it in my Titanium Backup so you might be able to restore it from there. I'm still trying to decide if it mattered enough to me to try to restore it.

 

[Jakaro]

ill just keep it handy on my sd card then

 

[jasonb1985]

there is another newer version. i ripped it out of IncDoes's Desire HD port version .5.

 

[welbinator]

noob question time.

is this update.zip thing really necessary? what if I just emailed my friend the dspmanager.apk file and he installed it, would that work?

don't judge me. haha.

 

[Jakaro]

No, because it changes the audio library files in the phone, so that dsp.apk will work.

gotcha. thanks!

 

[jasonb1985]

you need the app and you need the audioflinger.so file from the system/lib folder. you can use root explorer to copy and paste the files instead of doing an update.zip. just have to change the permissions to match and then reboot and it'll work. i've had 3 or 4 different versions of DSP Manager on my phone and this is how i installed them.

 

[jayno20]

Is there any links to the newer version? Any chance this newer version stops headphone crackle?

 

[rushmore]

What crackle are you having? I notice distortions if the settings are too high, but only then. I am using the original version that was linked from start of the thread.

 

[billybob275]

I'm using the version linked in this thread too, but if I make any adjustment at all higher or lower I get massive amounts of clipping on headphones & car adapter. I hit reset, and it goes away. Any tips?

How big of adjustments are you making? What volume level do you listen at?

I keep everything within 3db and listen between 2-5 notches from full volume and I never hear any crackling.

I keep everything within 3db and listen between 2-5 notches from full volume and I never hear any crackling.

Even if I raise or lower it 0.1db, it will still crackle, but my volume is between 75% & 100%. I'll mess around with it some more at lower volumes after work tonight to see what happens.

 

[TheBeardedMann]

What settings do you guys use? I listen to hard rock mainly, Norma Jean in particular, YouTube - Norma Jean - "Deathbed Atheist" (official music video)

Maybe try a newer version of the app. I have never heard any crackling though on any of the 3 or 4 versions that I tried.

 

[ACD168]

Does this mainly only for peoplewho use their inc as a music player with head phones?

yup, that's exactly what it's for. and the phone sounds damn good with it.

 

[Contempt]

I got the newer version with BT support from ROM Manager. The dev who cooked Virtuous ROM added it to his goodies section in ROM manager.

It's very stable and the BT support makes it a slam dunk. The sliders are much more precise and easier to fine tune. (less clipping)

I love the Android community.

Cool thanks a bunch.

 

[Evil Sports]

Can I run it on a rooted stock sense 2.2

 

[BreakTheStatic]

Can I run it on a rooted stock sense 2.2

I'm running it on rooted, stock sense 2.2 with no issues, other than the clipping at 100% volume. But that is normal once you mess around with ANY eq since what eq essentially does is raise the gain for selected frequencies. 3dB+ is a BIG signal difference in audio, most people don't realize that.

 

[Evil Sports]

So just drop the zip on your sd card and run it from the recovery mode

 

[BreakTheStatic]

I think you should be able to run it like that, but I downloaded mine through Rom Manager under the Virtuous folder (since that's also a sense ROM.)
