DSP Manager - Galaxy Tab General

My Tab suffers from low volume & mediocre audio from the speaker specially when watching certain movies. Ive been looking for an app to control audio volume and EQ and found an app called DSP Manager (current version 2.2).
It features a beautiful interface, installs without a problem but doesnt seem to have any effect when applying EQs... the sound is always the same. HAs anyone else succesfully installed this app on a galaxy Tab and make it work? Id love to be able to use it on my Tab.
On a side note, are there other similar apps that do the same job volume/EQ that work on the Tab?
Thanks in advance for the input!

I think in order for dsp manager to work u need to modify the libaudio.so files, maybe u can extract those files from the cyanogenmod release and push them on your device but best wait for a dev to look at this or post a request in the development section
Swyped from my sexy galaxy tab

Yeah, best wait for a dev to look at this thread or maybe get a request in the development section... extracting those files from the cyanogenmod release and push them on my Tab is all too intense for me... I just dont know how to do it and would not dare venture...

[Q] Sound on CM7

I'd like to think of myself as an audiophile. So before I moved to cm7, the voodoo sound was like magic to me. But it seems that on cyanogen its not well suited . Tried all the media players possible and still its no it.So maybe there is away to install the original sumsung player on cyanogen. And if anybody found a way to improve the sound plesae share with me.
By the way im using glitch kernel with voodoo as well
1) Search is your friend - USE IT. This has been asked hundreds of times already.
2) No stock apps will ever be available for CM7 - they all rely on the Samsung framework which will never be ported.
Is there any other solution ?
with last updates of cm7 they integrated voodoo sound in kernel
Yeah I saw that but still its crappy . The low's are cracky not enough mids. Tried the dsp manager but it's only make it worse tried the equalizer from the market same thing. Maybe there is a way to make "Galaxy Tuner " work on Cyanogen, i remember it boosted the bass real nice without cracknig it.

PLS post this Report for AtinM under CM7 for SGS2 Thread, Thanks

Hi everybody,
I registered here so that I can post extra my report. Because I really want a stable cyanogen mod on my galaxy s2
I'm an IT specialist, and have started various tests with CM7 on my galaxy S2, and those are the FCs:
Problems when changing from ROM to Lite'ning Cyanogen Mod 7:
Installed CWM, then flashed --> No success. Restarted CWM the GUI was blue, then flashing --> Done!!!
-Huge battery-consumption
-Black screen during and after a call
-2G/3G Does not switch
-Media and general phone volume too silent
-Video playback does not work, possibly with certain file extensions
-Video recording also works not correctly
-Bluetooth does not work
-WiFi works but very lame, there are disconnects
-Some apps do not work for example Old Book of Ra
-After you select a CPU clock mode for example power saving or ondemand mode --> crash - then --> only boot screen loop! Solution: flash again
The default access points are out of date, for example ePlus WAP GPRS (Germany)
to AWLauncher
The Home Botton which starts the apps was lose, you have to look after
I also don't like the launcher it is not not easy handle, various unnecessary options and settings ...
Things that I miss:
With a Stock ROM, you can call a contact directly if you wipe in the list on the contact with the hand --> to the right, and send an sms when you wipe --> to the left, can u reinstall this function again? Its Cool ;D
Absolutly: Samsung Touch Wiz 4.0 and apps, such as game hub (I cant't find the apps Android Market) -> Would it be possible that you can install them separately?
Google Apps & Market (I know you can not install this with CM7, but this prevents the config of mobile phones at the beginning)
Q: Is it possible to choose a WiFi connection, befor you set up the mobile phone for the first time? Would be very useful, especially after a wipe. (Bakup Apps etc.)
Incorrect grammar reserved - thanks to Google translator ;D
Seems like stock is perfect for you, you don't need cm7...

also read the 1st post in the thread and you will see he clearly says DO NOT POST BUG REPORTS....
Wow. Just stay on stock an call it a day. I don't know why you even flashed cm7 anyway.

Will probably never work as good as samsung roms. Cyanogenmod and MIUI only include bare basic codecs supplied by google , they don't port over samsung codecs over because of licensing fees probably.
The only option would be to rely on third party software players , who do decent job if your phone is fast enough , diceplayer and moboplayer are pretty decent , don't expect to play 1080p or [email protected] thought only samsung based roms can do that.
The dev asked that no bug reports be submitted...it's not a finished product as yet...nightly builds are an ongoing project.
Also, there is a dedicated Q&A thread for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411 which you are able to post in.

Methode to modify Stock ICS ROM (4.0.4) to use AVRCP?

Hi guys,
First of all, this really is a great forum, but since I couldn't find any answer to my question, I am trying to get one here (-:
I own a Galaxy Note with stock ROM on ICS (4.0.4). I really like ICS and I am a pretty heavy user of the Samsung S-Memo apps. Already tried a couple of third parties apps such as Evernote Skitch etc., but for me the standard Samsung S-Memo apps are most convenient (espc. in combination with the pen). This is mostly why I do not really want to switch to a custom ROM, although the people working on the several ROMs are doing a great job.
So, here is my question:
Since I am using the Samsung Car holder for the Galaxy Note, I am looking for a way to control the Note via Bluetooth (mostly skip between songs etc.) since I am using this very fine device on my everyday commute to work as my navigation system and it would just be awesome also to use the Note as my USB-stick replacement since it is much more convenient to use the smartphone as my music player (btw: I am using the standard Samsung mp3-Player app and/or Google Play Music). I can connect the phone to my car and can control the volume. My car (it's a Hyundai) has the AVRCP feature and I was already able to connect my tablet (Acer) and my wife's Android phone (LG) and to control them (switch tracks, get ID3-information in car display etc.). Unfortunately, I cannot get control of all the nice features with my Galaxy Note: I can, as already written, only control the volume but cannot switch tracks, nor do I get any information streamed from the phone to the car display about the current song etc.
So, is there a way to modify whatever file on the phone (it is rooted) to get full control over my phone when connected via Bluetooth? I already read that custom ROMs do support this nice little feature but since I do not want to switch to any custom ROM (due to lack of support of the Samsung S-Memo apps) I would love to get any hint to solve this problem. I already found in the system folder of my phone the file ""AVRCP.kl" - maybe modifying this file might help? Anybody any idea? Or is there a way to copy and paste the AVRCP-configuration information from a custom ROM to the stock ROM (sorry for asking this kind of stupid question, but I am really kind of rookie in this field (-?
Thanks
This feature is present in stock ROM as well, maybe the combo is not compatible. You may want to try PowerAmp, you can use the volume key skip track option in PowerAmp. That way, when you double click the volume up you can skip track.

This was my same issue when I got my new Subaru Forester with the stock header (basic AVRCP feature works but not Artist/Album info). What you are looking for is AVRCP 1.3 (or 1.4 I don't remember). Stock rom (and any custom rom based on that) supports only AVRCP 1.0. Originally only CM9/CM10 rom support AVRCP 1.3, but I just recently found Miui V4 support this as well. And since Miui V4 is based on Samsung framework, S-Memo is included as well. U can search my posts for the Miui V4 thread.

[GUIDE] [ROOT] Get the best sound out of your Idol 3!

Hi y'all fellow Idol 3 users! And welcome to my guide which aims to help you make your phone sound exactly how you want it to.
Okay, so if you bought this phone, chances are you wanted a great media consumption experience, since this is the Alcatel Idol 3's strength. When I got the phone and first plugged my headphones in to test out all that JBL stuff they were advertising, I couldn't help it but feel let down. Yep. I found it sounded muddy, disorted and clicky. But since we are talking about android, I knew I could probably do something about that. Plus I KNEW the audio chip in this phone was great. So I started tweaking and I finally can say that my Idol 3 sounds like a beast.
Here are the steps, then!
1. Disable the JBL setting. First and foremost, please, pleeease... go to settings > sound and notifications and disable "JBL". Honestly, it just doesn't sound good. It introduces a LOT of disortion in exchange for a little bit of bass. They are much better ways to get bassier sound without hardly disorting it, trust me. I don't know what they were thinking... this setting just assassinates the music IMO. However you are free to do as you want, of course.
* For step 2, root is needed.
2. Install Viper4Android. The following steps will guide you through the installation of this godly piece of software. For you guys which don't know what Viper4Android is, it's one of the best sound engines (in my opinion the best) available for android. It originated in China where it became really popular. Installing Viper4Android will not alter the sound signature in any way, it will just unlock the true potential of your sound-related hardware, getting rid of bottlenecks that worsen audio quality. Just installing it WILL get you a better sound. However, it also provides lots of settings and tweaks to change the sound signature if you want to, and they work really well, unlike this JBL setting we were given. In order to install it, you can either follow my own instructions or head to the official V4A thread and follow the steps there.
2.1 Install Busybox. Download one of the many installers in the Play Store, open the app and click install. Reboot if it asks you to. You can safely delete the app afterwards.
2.2 Download the Viper4Android apk from the official site. Be sure to download ViPER4Android FX 2.3.4.0 which is the one that works with Lollipop.
2.3 Extract the zip and then pick the apk called "ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk" and put it in your phone's storage, then install it.
2.4 Install the V4A driver. Open the app and it should prompt you to install the driver. Select "Audiophile quality" for the best sound quality. Even though it warns you about high cpu usage, I did not notice lags or battery drain. However if this worries you a lot you can always choose "high quality" instead, though I wouldn't recommend it. It will ask you to reboot your phone, do it.
2.5 Make it run along enforcing selinux. This mod normally wont work with enforcing selinux, so you can either change selinux to permissive mode or just flash this zip (by XDA member maximumentropy) through custom recovery, wich will make it work with enforcing selinux. I recommend the second method.
2.6 OPTIONAL STEP: In ViPER4Android's thread the instructions say you have to edit the next lines in the "build.prop" file, which is located in /system. Lines to edit:
Ipa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false
I found that the second line was already set to false in my device. If you are not in stock rom you might not find this lines, if that's the case just ignore this step.
This step is optional because I used ViPER4Android for a few days without doing it and everything seemed to work. So if you prefer not to mess with the build.prop you can try without doing this.
2.7 Enable ViPER4Android. Open the app and you will find there are several tabs: "Headphones", "Speaker", "Bluetooth"... just activate the first checkbox in every tab if you want ViPER4Android working globally.
2.8 Turn off conflicting settings in some music players. Most player should work fine out of the box, but in some cases there are settings that conflict with V4A.
2.8.1 Poweramp: turn off EQ, tone and limiter. Go to settings > sound engine > advanced customization, and untick the first checkbox. The other settings didn't seem to conflict for me, but you can try disabling them too if you are having trouble to make it work (I have them all disabled).
This section needs expansion! Tell me how you made your favourite music player work with V4A.
2.9 Test it out! Play some music and open V4A. Click the dropdown menu and choose "Driver status". It should say:
NEON Enabled: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Status: Normal
Audio Format: Supported
Processing: Yes
If that's what you see, then contrats! Everything is set.
3. Grab a nice sounding music player. The consensus is that the one with the best quality is "Neutron Music Player". I do agree with this, however, the UI is really crappy and I just cannot cope with that scroll. That is why I use Poweramp, which also sounds nice, and has the addition of a nice little "punch" in the lower frequencies. If you know some other great sounding players be sure to comment below and tell so I can expand the guide!
4. Get a nice pair of headphones. The included ones by JBL do pretty well for the price they are valued at ($40) but that doesn't mean there aren't better choices out there! Also they didn't seem to fit comfortably in my ears with any of the sizes inlcuded. If you want something with a similar price and an even better sound, I recomend the Sony MH1C, a pair of IEMs you can get for $30 but sound like some good $100+ IEMs. If you want traditionally shaped headphones then my recommendaiton is the KOSS PortaPro (or the KSC75 wich are essentially the same but with a different form factor). They are also dirt cheap and have a very decent sound. For more recommendations you can ask me (though I am no expert) or just head to the Head-Fi forums. You won't get better advice anywhere else when concerning headphones! These guys really know their stuff.
Lastly, I hope this guide is of use to some of you and allows you to enjoy the Alcatel Idol 3 to the fullest. I wanted to contribute to this great device's community since I felt it diserves way more attention than it is getting. And by the way, english is not my first language, so please excuse any error I might have made!
FURTHER TWEAKING:
You will see that ViPER4Andoid has a lot of settings, especially if you select the "Expert" UI setting from the dropdown menu. If you want ideas and advice on using them, head over the the official V4A thread.
Thanks!!!
I use n7player. It produce nice sound with v4a combo plus convolver set on studer +1db updated. Also tried shuttle+ but n7 has nicer interface.

Under cm12.1 do you need to disable "audiofx" before using v4a?
Attached is a flashable zip which should add the 3 lines mentioned in post #1 to the build.prop and remove any duplicates. The zip can be used to add ANY lines to the build.prop. You just add the lines to the tweaks.txt file inside the zip. I did not create the zip. I just modified it to put the 3 lines mentioned in there.
Code:
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false

Flash the removable script from cm 12.1 thread. It's on first page. Then supersu, and then v4a.. That's how I managed to make it work.

You must mean a different "cm 12.1 thread" that unjustified dev's cause I don't see a "removable script".
Yes, I'm sorry. Here is the DL link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934545546 and the thread is one for gapps in the first post of cm12.1 .

Yes, you do have to disable Audio FX unless you want to try and use both with V4A in compatible mode. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Thanks for the guide..installed v4a tonight....seems to be working fine with spotify and bluetooth. I didn't use @Nikola Jovanovic's "cleaner" because it seemed to remove alot than just a few music apps...I used titanium backup to uninstall audiofx and I have n7player full installed (was free on amazon appstore)...haven't used it yet though.
It does, but really I don't see the reason to not apply it. Google cam is better than cm's, viper + n7 is better than apolo + audio fx.. So on, and so for..

It seemed to be doing something with vending.apk which is the google play store...I didn't want to chance that getting deleted. I use google calendar and it looked like it might delete it as well...will have to research when I have time and maybe modify.
It may also be the cause of apps crashing, but haven't experienced any reboots as the other users.
GPS stays on your phone, it deletes aosp cal but I installed Google calendar for that purpose.
It would be awesome if you could modify it in that way so the bloatware is cleaned but all other core apps are intacted.

What do you think about Phonograph? Is it a valid music player, speaking of audio quality?
I just finished installing. All works fine so far. Testing some settings but think it's an improvement over "stock"sound. I really like the jetAudio music player. Been using it for a long time and think it's one of the best out there.
Thanks !
Thanks!!
Thank you! Works amazing with PowerAmp and Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear. Thought that sound was amazing already but now It's 200% better!
Or if you don't want to root simply use DFX player.... ?

Anyone still gets stuttering, even with this installed? This is problem that happens to me with every player I tried. The one that gives less stutters and skips remains jetAudio... Is it a Lollipop problem?
Can't flash selinux patch, help please?

How to get Soundalive?

Hello everyone, I am looking for the Soundalive for my S5. The rom that I installed only have Viper4android but I removed it. Is there a flashable file for the soundalive? so I can put it in my S5.
Note: I have a ported N5 rom in my S5.
Honestly viper is much better.
Don't know about sound alive but using non supported apps messes up things like call audio/mic
They have presets for viper which can be found for download and viper has different settings where you get easy hard and pro type features
i got into this thread because i honestly didnt know what soundalive was. Looks like its a sammy app. I am unaware because i dont use my phone for audio purposes but once in a blue moon, but from what ive read, viper is the way to go anyways. So im leaning towards immortalitys post.
believe me or not i cant live without soundalive
