I just tried to install using the ROM Manager......BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds gravy now. Awesome.
Thanks
Look, your stereo settings can't magically fix the incorrectly decoded sound. Your stereo can't magically add back in information that isn't present. The fact that you can't understand this...is simply an illustration of your ignorance.I have no idea how you can claim my car stereo isn't possible of increasing the sound quality in order to compensate for 2.2s degraded playback of the aac+. It's an aftermarket Pioneer head unit that allows me to change a lot of sound and equalizer attributes on any type of media and file format I put through it. So I guarantee, depending on how I have it configured, it's going to make the audio sound better or worse depending on how it's set up.
At this point, you're just being straight ignorant about the matter and acting like a general troll. Insulting people directly on here just totally ruined your credibility too, I'm afraid .
But hey, the fix for it was committed on the 8th, so hopefully, it will show up in source-built roms soon.
Sadly, this makes no effect on BT transmitted sound. I wish it were otherwise....

He is able to claim this because there is no physical way of "increasing sound quality". Any product that claims to do that is crap and should be thrown out immediately. As althornin said, once data is lost, that's it. Just because your ears aren't able to tell the difference doesn't mean it's not there.
There is no way to gain audio quality; just ways to prevent losing audio quality, and in this instance, the only way to prevent losing audio quality is to fix the bug in how Froyo decodes AAC.
I saw another post where someone was completely adamant about how he has amazing hearing, amazing sound equipment, and his Droid doesn't have this issue as well. I hope people realize that no amount of hardware quality is going to compensate for a software bug.

As for insulting, the only thing I've said is that you are ignorant, and that the issue at hand is an OS BUG. If thats insulting, because some self-proclaimed "sound expert" claims that his magical droid doesn't experience an issue that it is not possible to not experience...well...you do the math on who is wrong. It ain't me.

Has anyone had luck with Sapphire 1.0, or does the eq only work with stagefright?
I'm not being infantile at all. Your insistence that your phone is immune to something that is broken in the OS proves you are wrong. You may not hear it, but you have the issue. Its not like some hardware difference can make up for the software error - decoding is broken in software, period (until the recent fix).The only ignorance illustrated here is you proclaiming something absolutely isn't possible when presented with evidence to the contrary, and saying therefore the user must have "shitty hearing." Whether or not you are capable of understanding why the possibility exists of some phones not presenting the problem, really doesn't matter. Irony is lost....
Can we finally get back to topic and lay this to rest now? The fix is already out there, and this is not the appropriate thread for this discussion.
No, you misunderstand (I know, you are a sound guy, not a computer guy, i should expect this).This is also not a matter of lost data. It's all there, just not correctly decoded.

Sorry you just can't hear it, but its there.
At least you understand that an EQ and your car stereo can't fix an incorrectly decoded audio stream, unlike some. But your patent unwillingness to understand how software works means your opinion is completely invalid. OS bug means its present on every phone running that OS. It is literally not possible for it not to be. This is not a "sometimes" bug, its is plain broken and 100% reproducible. You didn't notice it - thats fine, others do. Just don't go trying to state things you don't understand based on your supposed golden ear.
No, you misunderstand (I know, you are a sound guy, not a computer guy, i should expect this).
Look: Data isn't lost from the sound FILE, but because of incorrect decoding, some data is "lost" from the output stream that should be there, if decoding were correctly taking place. That is clearly what is meant, and it is absolutely correct. An analog waveform is just data.
