[APP][ICS] Sony Walkman music player for u8800 - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

This is just [UPDATED] [APP] Walkman for ICS Full [ICS] by ThilinaC adapted to u8800.
I removed some apk's because they didn't do anything in u8800.
If you only install the apk, the background of the player does not change according to the album cover. With that zip it changes
Install the app + libs:
walkman_for_u8800_ics_only-signed.zip
Revert back to Aurora 4.0 files:
delete_walkman_for_u8800_ics_only-signed.zip

does it have widget?

Does it have some audio improvement, special equalizer,etc?
Is it compatible with Google Music? If I understood correctly, it overwrites default music player and GMusic is a must for me.

Holy crap, sr21, you rock, man.
Thank you so much.
Also, yes, it does come with the widgets.

No, it have widjets for Albuns, Artists and Playlists.
It does not have a widjet for playing songs like Google Music, Apolo or PowerAmp.
The widjet that has been ported didn't work in my phone. Because of that I didn't included it in the flashable zip.

It is a good music player like others.
I don't have a 450€ beats headphones to see if have sound improvements or not. The sound of u8800 is not good at all, so the improvements aren't very noticable.
The biggest improvements that I ever seen were with Beats Audio Mod that I posted in the General Section, but with it you couldn't set the volume to the maximum or it'll cause a little bit of distortion.
I don't have Google Music installed, so I don't know if it is compatible with it or not.
You can always try it and if you don't like it, just flash the delete zip. It'll restore the aurora files and remove the ones of Walkman.

@sr21 do you currently use your beats audio mod with this player?

I didn't tested it together.
If you use Beats Audio Mod, download the Walkman zip and extract it. There is one app in the folder data/app, just install it as a normal app and you have the Walkman installed without messing up with Beats Audio.
I'll take a look to see if they use the same fibs!

Some of the files used by Beats Audio are also used by Walkman.
I don't know if mixing them together will be bad or not.
If you want to use both, I think you should flash Walkman first and then Beats Audio for two reasons:
1st: You can remove all the Walkman files with the flashable zip that I did (it'll revert your system files to Aurora 4.0 defaults). You could reflash Beats Audio and it'll be like a fresh install.
2nd: Beats Audio shows best audio improvements in than Walkman. Walkman have a nice player and that's it. Flashing Beats Audio after flashing Walkman will force the system to have the Beats Audio files and your sound should be great as it was when you only used Beats Audio. And probably Walkman should work also...
You should use this Beats Audio version: BeatsAudio5.1.zip

[Q] Srs wow hd?

Hi everyone,
The phone's spec sheet says that it has SRS wow hd. Any idea how I can use it? To clarify, what I'm looking for is something like the control center application which typically comes with the srs stuff. It allows the user to set various parameters of the srs algorithm. Any help would be great.
Regards,
Soumen
currently it can only be accessed via the stock music app and while playing a song..

It can be used with any music app that uses android's stock codecs. If you use music applications such as poweramp (that rely on ffmpeg) you wont be able to use srs wow hd effects, unless the dev makes it happen

I'm not using oxygen atm (will flash it later this day), but they should be located under the equalizer presets in the stock music app.
Okay, Im pretty sure the ROM did something to the music player. The player now shows only 4 Tabs - Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists. Cant seem to find Equalizer settings anywhere among the options on those screens. On my previous phone(galaxy fit), the equalizer settings used to come somewhere there. Any other music players that support this feature?
the music app in oxygen rom does not have the equaliser feature..

Install the latest version of PlayerPro (2.09). There is an option there to enable the SRS WOW HD effects. Just tested it on MIUI rom.
Can SRS WOW be activated in the official 2.3 (28.12.2011) firmware?
In the settings of the stock music app the equalizer option is inactive.
2.3.5 official, yes I'm using it now.

That's good news!
I'm using 2.3.5 official. However, in the stock music app when I go to Settings I can see an Equalizer option, but pressing it has no effect. Is this the only way to get to the SRS option and if so why might it not be working for me?
Had to register, been stalking this forum over a year...
Anyway, with this new android 2.3.5, you can't change equalizer without headphones. And when you take your headphones off, equalizer turns back to normal. And that is a big loss for those who listens to music from backspeaker. You can't have SRSWowHD if you're using the backspeaker (with that erm, stock player? Can it even be said as stock player?)
That's annoying. SRSWowHd worked really well with the speaker in 2.2.
Would Huawei have deliberately disabled adjusting the equaliser in 2.3.5? Could a third-party app re-enable it?

Beats style audio mod?

Tried using Volume+ but it actually lowered the volume. Anyone know of a working music enhancement?
I think the beats dsp manager will work on this too, since its universal . But I haven't tried it yet

Just an apk?
The one I used on my GNex was a flash able zip file, I'm not sure if the apk ones work .
Equalizer by smartandroidapps is WAY better than Beats.
I have a One X with Beats and after I found the Equalizer app (which is free!) I disabled Beats and never went back

DSPManager and Voodoo on CM10

As much as I like how nice Android 4.+ looks, I'm still running CM7 because I can't seem to get the sound I want on CM10.
Just now, I think I found out the reason why.
FYI, JetAudio is my music player. I like it a lot and would never leave it since it has everything I want: folder playback and reverb.
On CM7, I'm using the combo JetAudio SFX + DSP settings + Voodoo.
On CM10, DSP settings + Voodoo only seem to work on Apollo. Maybe because other apps think DSP is Apollo's EQ instead of a standalone app.
At first, I thought it was JetAudio's problem, but it's the same for RockPlayer and BSPlayer.
Please some devs look into it.
Or is that how you guys want to implement it?
Why do you bother with dspmanager if you have Voodoo ? I always delete it at flash, so the Voodoo is used + players EQ. Too many EQ's doesn't make sense trying to set them up properly, like 3 people trying to drive the bus.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I also rock both voodoo and DSP, but I usually disable any of its functions when the similar function is enabled in the other app. Example, I usually have bass booster enabled in voodoo and disabled in DSP. Also, I find voodoo crucial for its Smart Amplifier since I find that the sound on my headset is too low for my liking, while the DSP equalizer is quite useful when I want to tweak my sounds. If given the choice though, I'd prefer using the MusicFX apk from stock android, since I find that it works best with voodoo sound.

Isn't voodoo integrated into DSp manager?

Congrats on posting and still not answering the question.
I'm using AOSP and manually flashed DSP manager bzw. voodoo sound. It's a great combo that simply gives more options.
Using the first flahsable zip suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891017 you may try the beats v3 one if you want to.
Yes, I'm using CM9 DSP manager in jelly bean, it's compatible.

If you read properly, you can see he already has DSP installed on his CM10 setup (surprise surprise, it comes with it!), just that it doesn't seem to engage properly when using any other player than Apollo.
OP, reading DSP manager help:
"DSP Manager is per-output audio adjustment application.....
The manager can only enable it for applications which are compliant with android's audio effects specification, i.e. most music players."
That means players with their own EQ in CM9/10 won't be working. Google Music will work, so will Apollo. It's an Android limitation I believe that was introduced with ICS.
So, that's not a solution for your problem sadly, but rather an explanation. Cheers.

Fine. But what do Apollo and Google Music have in common? They are system apps. Try migrating your music player to the system partition using Titanium Backup. My guess is that user applications don't have the right to tap into DSP manager.

And it's a bad guess. It's not because they're system apps, heck you can install Google Play Music and Apollo both directly from the market without having them installed previously. It's a limitation that is caused by changes since Android 4.0.1. It would be pretty nice if it was that easy.
For what its worth, PowerAMP now supports DSP Manager, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37836540&postcount=12

[Q] Viper 4 android not working?

Hey guys! I have a Galaxy S4 on 4.2.2 that i have rooted and used TrulyClean v1.6 (Hardcore version) on!
I recently got the tip to try and install viper4android since it was better than the beats EQ mod i had,
I found out that the same issue I had with the beats eq mod I had with viper4android too.
Whenever I listen to songs in Google Music I cant just change tracks because when the next
track is playing there are no FX at all, just the stock sound! sometimes i gotta let a song repeat 2-3
times before this happens, it is REALLY frustrating and annoying!
I dont know if it's because I have to delete music FX or get another music player,
Whatever it is I know i'd appreciate some help!
Thanks in advance, cheers!

I don't know. I think it's a drivers problem. You should unistall the first one and reinstall it according to snapdragon cpu. I followed entire guide but my audio didn't change. Only thing we could do, is to wait for new version.

I have a similar problem with the Allview V1 Viper(a.k.a. Gionee Elife E3/Blu Life Play). I have a custom ROM, Xperia 4.2.2 made by Orochi, and it came with V4A preinstalled. I set everything, I launch walkman, and start a song. For 10 secs, the sound is great, the effects definitely work, then it reverts to stock...
What can I do?
Deezer and Viper4Android
Well, I have a Samsung I9082L and a Xperia C2304, but I'm facing problems with Deezer when using Viper to enhance my Xperia sound. I don't know if it happens with all Xperia phones, but Deezer uses my Xperia audio enhancer as default. I discovered that Xperia audio enhancer and Viper4Android conflict when using Deezer. So I tried disabling Sony audio enhancer (SoundEnhancement.apk) and it happens that I was right... now Viper works as a charm for my Xperia. So, for the people who are having problems using Deezer or Spotify, verify if Deezer uses phone's audio enhancer as default and try disabling it. Do not uninstall it! Just disable at the application options or, if not available, freezing with Link2SD or TitaniumBackup. Hope it helps.

Yes I have. V4A also known as Viper 4 Android is supported by our device (at least it worked for me. NO GUARANTEE). It works about the same as Dolby Atmos. Its as usual a personal preference thingy, just like some people enjoy a Playstation and others the Xbox.
Besides that there are other packs out here on XDA that might work but they have not been explicitly tested or anything. Go and use the search if you want to experiment a little but remember, ALWAYS Backup all your stuff.

Yes I did but only with the chinese Version. That also has been with the old Android (5.1.1). With the european version of the music player it had issues and didnt do anything to the sound.
It also worked with Google Play Music, Spotify, Phonograph and the HTC Stock Music app that I am using now on 6.0 with Dolby Atmos.
Dolby Atmos has always been my goto software because it worked with all tested versions by me and honestly I have been through many versions on the P8 Lite.
