PowerOn sound issue. - T-Mobile LG G2x

I'm posting here because its a G2X I'm working on and It seems to be an issue specifically with my phone as most others have no issues getting it to work.
The specifics. I'm trying to learn is my main reason for this, I'm working on a slightly modified version of Ultimate Rom on a G2X running Faux 0.0.3 ext2 kernel. I'm using Adw launcher EX as I'm building my first theme for it. I have shutdown sounds(the T-mo stock shutdown). I verified sounds were all set to max in the settings > sounds section. I've tested this under both CM and Ultimate so I think it's not a Rom specific issue
From what I've read the file needs to be named PowerOn.wav and needs to be located in the /etc/ directory with permissions set as rw-r-r-- for the file itself.
I cannot find specifics on file limitations only that some people have seen it limited to a 7 second clip. The one I want is slightly longer but I've tried a short 2 second clip as well as the longer 7 second clip.
The file was modified in a rudimentary style on a windows XP machine running a Fedora VM so god knows what may have happened in the background so to keep a clean slate I downloaded a simple "Droid.wav", renamed it appropriately and used that as a test, it also did not work. I'm renaming it in the terminal emulator and it was downloaded on the phone itself to exclude my work PC as the source of the issue.
File is PCM 44,000 kHz 16bit stereo 172kb/sec
I know I'm forgetting some bit of pertinent info but I'm taking calls (I work a call center) and so it's hard to stay focused lol. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer! (Or Trolls.. I appreciate a good troll.)

lol, This issue seems to get passed over no matter where I post it asking for help, It's kinda hard to care about it for most people I guess.

You know it never occurred to me to try .ogg
Will test and then come back and send you both $5 if it works lol.

Well I own Ben $5 lol, worked like a charm.
Thank you for saving my sanity Ben! I'll donate to you soon as my deposit hits paypal.

contacts & ringtones

hi everyone
i was wondering why when i assign a specific ringtone to a contact, it doesn't work. i have flashed several different roms for my herald/wing and sometimes it works. is there a registery edit or something i have to do? i have tried saving the files into the main memory and also the storage and neither works. any ideas or should i just give up on have "devil woman" play when my wife calls.
thanks
DK
Unless something's changed with OpenTouch 6.5 from ttrans fromer OT releases there's nothing special involved. Saving ringtones to the memory card often results in the loss of the assignment.
What type of file is it you're trying to use, how large is it and have you tried encoding it as another type?

i start with an mp3 and use audio manager to trim it and save into ringtones folder. i have also used mp3 trimmer with the same results.
Have you tried MP3 ringtones supplied by anyone else?
If you want you may PM me your email address and I will send you one from my phone that I know works.

i have some RT's that i purchased a while ago and i have some midi tones too. its wierd, when i was using otv3.0 biggy all worked fine. i don't know. thanks for the offer and help
Ok, so the bought ones aren't working either I take it. Do they work when you reflash OT3?
Are you restoring from a backup or do these not work with a fresh setup?
well i kinda have ot6.5 lite tweaked the way i like, so i don't want to go back to 3.0 just for tones. i was just wondering if anyone out there had already come across this and had a reg fix or something. i guess not that many people use diff tones for diff contacts. me, i need diversity in life, plus its easier to recognize a tone than pick up the phone and look whose calling. know what i mean? i also get a kick out of watching my co-workers faces when the diff songs come up. i guess i'll just keep an eye out for a fix. throw me one if you find it first.
thanks
Well, the reason I asked if you've tried a fresh install or even going back to 3.0 is to see if it's not some corruption somewhere. I've run every ROM you've listed so far without issue. I use different ring tones for most of my contacts as well and the only times I ever had that issue was with one corrupt file and the rest were when I put the MP3s on my SDHC.
I'll keep an eye out though. I'd still try backing up (even if you just have to use a demo of Sprite Backup or something) and do a completely fresh install. If you find a solution post it up for future reference.
hmmm. i'm not sure what you men as to a fresh install. i am kinda new to all this tech, i've only had a wing for about 4 months. i have hardspl'd my wing and i hardly ever get any errors when flashing. does sprite backup keep all your rom settings? pretty much all i ever need to keep is my stuff on the mem card. what i dont understand is that i can set a tone for my main ring and that always works. something gets screwy when applied to contacts. so you keep all your tones in main memory? isn't that a mem hog?
Sprite and a couple other apps out there create a backup file of all your settings and selected or all of your files. They saved to a compressed file on either your mem card or your PC (not all apps will backup straight to the PC).
At any rate I just wanted to make sure you weren't from a backup file... to eliminate one possible source of the issue (incompatible settings saved to it from a different ROM setup or corruption).
What I mean by a fresh install is reflashing the ROM and reinstalling all your apps via their installer. No restoring from a backup file or copying files to their folders. Not trying to confuse you.
First thing I'd try now that I know a bit more would be to download a demo of a backup program and make a backup. Then I'd reflash, try setting things up far enough to test the ringtones. If they work, then just plan on reconstructing your preferred setup without using the backup to restore your settings from... if there's no change, then restore the back up and you're right back where you were before.
Does that make sense?
If you're having this problem with more than the one ROM I doubt it's just a setting error. I'd try different sound files altogether.
Specifically which ROMs are you having this problem with anyway? You might see if they've got something in common, such as the same version of sound drivers.
not confusing at all. i got what your saying. i guess i'm actually fresh installing everytime since i don't use any back-up programs. is that right? anyway what other forms of sound files would you recommend? what are you using? the versions of roms i have been using are basically every rom from Ttran's OT collection, starting with v3.0 and currently v6.5 throttlelaunch3d lite. v3.0 is the only one that the tones worked for. i will try the back-up idea you have after work today. thats a good idea. thanks
Yeah, I'd call the way you're doing it a "fresh install"... I mean by that that the system and ROM are essentially fresh and untouched. So you know there's not an old setting that might be causing the problems or a bad registry entry.
Backing up definitely makes things easier. I make a backup of my setup fairly often. Then when I want to try another I'll flash it, start setting it up, and if I need to be back with my old setup before I can finish setting up the new one, I'll backup where I am with the new setup, reflash my old ROM and restore the backup for the old setup... then I can resume working on getting the new one where I want later on.
I make my MP3 ringtones using Audacity. I generally make the mono and only 40kbps... nice and small but usually still sound good at that size. You could also try a WAV file.
I haven't used OT 3, but I've tried all the rest, not just the lite ROMs either. I haven't had any trouble. My offer still stands to send you one of my ringtones for you to test with if you want.
sounds good. is audacity a free? i'm gonna pm you my email and we can try a little test. maybe the stereo is the problem.
thanks
Email sent.
I doubt the stereo is the issue, although file size, bit rate and VBR may be.
Audacity is free. It takes a little getting used to, but there are how-to's on the net, just Google it. It's NOT as user friendly as some apps, but it is generally better than more of the dumbed down apps.

Have any luck?

So I take it they worked alright for you?
Yeah, I made those with audacity. If you need any help with it shoot me an email.

Anyone know better apps than Voice Alerts?

Hi.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a good app that alerts you like "You've got mail" "Incoming message."
If you've ever owned iPhone, I think you'd know what I'm looking for when I say "Crystal Voice." This was such a great app. Nice voice and professional.
I suppose it's possible to repackage the sound files from Crystal Voice and make it into a sound set for Android instead, but I'm not smart enough to do that lol.
I'd appreciate any input on this. I'm more and more loving my Android
GT
If I'm not mistaken Vlingo is a good alternative.
Sent from my illmatic Inspire 4G / Desire HD
Thanks for the tip. It looks like an interesting program.
Unfortunately, I'd rather keep my phone light and don't want to install a heavy program like that for my small purpose.
I ended up just doing it myself. In case, anyone is interested, here is what I did.
1. I extracted the sound files I wanted from iPhone (in this case, Crystal Voice). You can get whatever sound files you want.
2. Convert them into mp3 files.
3. Put them on your phone's sdcard
4. Use Root Explorer (or other softwares) to move them into desired directories:
System/Media/Audio/Notifications
System/Media/Audio/Ringtones
System/Media/Audio/UI
I think it's supposed to work then, but I had some trouble with the sound files not showing up, so I took the following steps.
5. Use ADB to change ownership of the files. "chown root.root filename"
6. Set permission to same as other stock sound files (you can easily check and compare through Root Explorer)
7. Restart your phone.
*In order to make some of those changes, you need to make sure to put your phone in debug mode. When you use ADB and use "su," make sure you have Superuser app running then choose allow.
*For UI files: For UI file, you need to rename your custom sound file to the exact same name and replace it.
Why should you bother?
lol, maybe you don't need to, but here are my reasons:
- I don't want to install 3rd party software because I want to keep my phone light. If I keep relying on 3rd party softwares, soon I'll be clogging my phone with too much stuff, slowing it down eventually and taking up space.
- With this method, the sound files become part of the ROM itself. This means, I can make a backup of this ROM, and whenever I do restore, I don't need to reset the sounds because they will be there as default sounds already set.
- Just for the fun and learning purpose. I'm new to Android, so it's good for me to experiment and learn tricks
I hope this is helpful to some people. If anyone want the sound files from Crystal Voice, let me know. I can share them with you.

I would greately appreciate it if you could send me the sound files from Crystal Voice?

Sure. I might as well make it available here for others too rather than responding to each request.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UDCBZSA8
Some notes!
- I didn't make them. Crystal Voice is a free sound theme in iPhone. The credit goes to its author. I merely converted them to make them compatible with Android.
- You have to manually replace the files. Chown may not be neccesary as some sound files worked without that step.
- ACCESS GRANTED: I really love this unlock voice. HOWEVER, it turns out that Android uses the same sound for when you submit things on the internet (e.g. when you click on search) and when you pull or dismiss the keyboard. In other words, your phone will say "Access granted" many times. I gave up on using this sound because that's just annoying and weird. (Instead, I am using a Lion's roar sound, which is cool for both unlocking and browsing experience). I suggest you find your favorite sound for it too (maybe a puppy? lol).
I hope this is helpful,

Phone only rings once?!

Hey guys, I'm a new Nexus S owner coming over from an Evo. On my Evo I rooted it and put a custom rom on it and such, so I'm not completely new or wet behind the ears when it comes to doing things with your phone.
Here's the thing: I went and put custom ringtones on my Nexus, but the one I use primarily only rings once. I look at it and see it vibrating and still receiving a call...but the ring-tone does not loop. It rings once and that's it. So far it's the only problem I'm having with my phone. Anyone having the same problem or have a fix for me that I can use?
Thanks in advance for the help!
btw: I put the custom ringtones on my phone by making a folder in the SD card titled media/audio/ringtones. I did that and the tones showed up. Is there another method that I can use that will make the ringtone repeat itself, because this whole 1 ring thing is not going to work, lol.
someone else asked me about this exact same thing right before you posted this. I tested, and ringtones on your sd dont loop :/ I made a 4 second ringtone to test and it rings for 4 seconds then stops. i know this wasnt the case on other phones and dont see why it is now. but just letting you know thats your issue.
I don't find this to be true for me. I've got the same setup and mine loop. I don't know how to help troubleshoot it for you either. I'm running stock rooted. I will test this later and let you know if I was wrong.
Yea, I'm running stock rooted as well...I don't understand why this would be an issue at all. It doesn't make any sense. I would hate to have to just make the ringtone longer by looping it manually and then replacing it on the phone, there has to be some other reason behind this.

I just made a ringtone, placed it on my sd, and it only played once. I was asked via gtalk by another NS4G owner about it, so I tested. Maybe your ringtone is longer than you think?
I am having the same issue. I took the stock ringtones off the last rom I was running on my Evo and they don't loop on my nexus. I even tried placing the ringers in the actual ringtone folder (/system/media/audio/ringtones) and they still did not loop, I just gave up. Any one have any ideas?
Are you guys using google voice integration? I found that it started only playing ringtones once after integrating with google voice.
I've noticed the same thing as you guys have, can't figure it out.
I didn't integrate

That could be it. I remember when I first got my phone the ringtone would loop. Sometime after GV/Sprint it stopped doing it.
I did integrate after getting my phone, and it use to loop while it was integrated I think...but then I turned the integration off after a while, lately I started noticing that the ringtones weren't looping.
I use music files for my phone that last until the phone is answered I never noticed

I've done a bit of investigating with this and have yet to find a definitive answer. The ones that will repeat are on system media ringtones. They are all ogg. I was playing with Vespa.ogg. I made an ogg file and tried to disguise it as vespa. I made sure the audio file characteristics were similar. Permissions and ownership were copied too. I even changed the tag of the file of it's name and composer was the same. I copied my file on top of the real one in system and made everything ro and rebooted. None of that made any difference, it wouldn't loop. I opened up music app and played files. The original would loop but the imposter wouldn't. The only differences I still see is my file is 3k smaller and not the same date as all the other ogg files in the system folder. Other than that, all my theories of what is causing this behavior have been wrong.
Could it be md5 signatures? Date and time (I don't know how to change that only using the phone and gui)? Other than that I have no frigging clue. Anyone else motivated enough to figure it out? I can't think of anything else and don't know cli enough to agamgm things in a terminal window or emulator.
If I copied a file from system to sdcard, it would loop out of it's native folder. I don't know if a ringtone editing and assigning app would make any difference. It's too late and I'm too tired ATM to do anymore detective work today.
Its the gv integration. Do the same tests after you disable it.

Are you picking one of the ogg files of ringtones that came with the phone? If you play the file you chose in a music app, how many seconds long is it? I just said to hell with it and found the ringtone I like and copy paste in an audio editing program on the computer enough times to make it 30 seconds long. Problem not solved but taken care of.
nope, i'm using a file seted by 'zedge' app, it's an mp3 file! i also use another short mp3 file and it also loops.
i'm on cm7 with stock kernel!
Is it possible there is only an issue with the Sprint version of the phone?
Grasping at straws now but anything is possible. If I remember, zedge you can download and has a built in trimmer and can assign stuff too.
I will play with ringdroid and the like and see what comes of it.

Launcher/Navbar, dock Whatever you call it

I've been rooted for about 3 months. I like flashing and changing what I can to try and get the most out of my phone. My issue is this. Many of the new roms have the updated launcher which is all good but the new navbar is so big and goofy looking compared to the old one (of course in my opinion) is there a way to make a flashable zip of the old 3 "button", grey navbar? Or do I just have to get used to the new one. Can post pics if I'm being unclear
Just wondering if I'm the only one who feels this way about the newer launchers?

The uot kitchen might have what you need?
thanks i just havent had time to go look and see if i can cook that myself... There wouldnt be some good books i could pick up to learn about doing my own dev work would there? Ive got ideas but not any know how on how to get them past the idea phase Thanks
No luck in the kitchen. i dont know why i dislie it so much but it really does keep me from using alot of roms
You would need to edit the 9.PNG files in framework-res.apk. this can be done with the kitchen and other tools running in the proper linux environment.
Please elaborate. Still somewhat of a noob. Thank you though
I looked all over the kitchens sight for a way to contact the people who run it to ask them but I couldn't find it. BUT I was playing Dead Island at the time so my attention was divided. Zombies with guns. What the hell?
Here is a method that may work with just using the kitchen. First you want to take an old 2.1 Rom and make a working folder in kitchen. Then take whatever Rom you are going to use and create a working folder for that one as well. It will ask if you want to back up your other working folder, select yes. You should end up with 2 working folders. What you could do is take the 9.PNG files out of the sense 2.1 rom. They are in system/framework/framework-res.apk. you will have to extract the folder then open the same folder in the Rom you want to use and extract that as well. See what the names of the matching files are and change the name of the 2.1 files to match the files in the Rom you want to use. Once you do that replace them with the 2.1 files. Compress the folder and rename the .zip to .apk. After that proceed with step 99 to build Rom and flash. If it does not work then you will have to use apk manager, which you will have to study up on because it requires a lot more dependancies than the kitchen does. I recommend installing ubuntu to do all this in. I have never swapped 9.PNG files so I am not sure if it will work. This does work with normal .PNG files though. So it is worth a shot.
WOW that sounds complicated. But being as curios and eager to learn as i am i will give it a shot. I assume you mean installijng ubuntu on my netbook so ill figure that out throug google or something, ill try to find some lit on this subject before trying so i can read up on it Thank you so much for your help. None of my friends that i personally know are into this so the only people that i can talk to about it is online friends. Its always easier having someone next to you versus trying to message and post back and forth, Thanks though your the ****
Just swapping .9 will work as long as the dementions are the same. If the themer changed them you will bootloop.
Here is some advice. Grab your favorite theme zip and unzip it with 7zip. Then unzip the apks and look around to get comfortable with the folder layout and image names. The hit up the apk multitool thread and read up on it. Except for the sdk and Java it is all in there. Everything a Modders needs short of the kitchen.
So by what Zelendel says, I don't need to use the kitchen and ubuntu??? It's really complicated to install and I've o.ly got Windows 7 starter on my netbook.
You guys are awesome though. I really appreciate all the help

Hey buddie I might to late on this one but just in case lol
HTC Inspire
Thanks man I will use that video. I watched the beginning earlier to check out the ubuntu install. Thanks man
Ok I had to go to HTC.com before posting to double check but I just looked at all the new phones and they all have the navbar that I'm trying to keep around. So my question is where did the one that is in all the newer ROMs cone from? I had initially though HTC changed it AMD that's why we were seeing them on all the Roms we love to flash but if the new phones don't have it why does is end up even on a port from another phone that "completely stock, out of the box" have the smaller navbar that I seem to like so much.
Anywho I finally go ubuntu installed in my Virtual Box so I've got to wait till I get off work today to start playing with it. Hope it works. Thank you everyone for the advice and help. I will let you know how it works out. I'm sure it won't be that easy and ill have more questions though. THANKS
They are from unofficial releases that devs got their hands on.
I may be in over my head a nit but I'm still going to try. In ubuntu every time I shut the machine down instead of saving the current state when I open it again it tells me to upgrade the BIOS. I can't find any info on that particular problem. I'm also having issues with the java install. I install it and it seems to go just fine but when I try to verify it says command not found.

1 l. I apologize for nor posting this a couple years ago.
i have been screwing with these mods and have somwthing that can totally change what these mods do for you.
i have tips for huge audio that begin even before your ausio mods are even installed.
But i am goin to give you a fat piece of the steak then come back and to the begining
######## edit 1
using these edited files on many different nods i have no need for an equalzer. infact most will destroy the sound these creat.
exept for equalizers at direct source. What i mean is when the app that plays the source file
For music i mostly use the Onkyo player. has an equalizer,upconvert and other cool stuff
For Movies i use a copy of Mxplayer that has a dts patch
Sonetimes i use The Vlc video player has a nice preamp and equalzer.
My experince has been eqalizers aplied down the line destroy The Artists Intentions.
I reco mend disabling all mods and eq to get the true value.
As i write this i have srs and beats files uploaded. turn off dolby maxx and viper4android If you have them Just to see what these do
Backup and prep
most people know about custom recoverys
but often we make edits or changes where the negative effects that dont show up untill after we have new data and stuff we dont want to lose.
Zipme by jrummy can help you greatly.
it can be directed to files and folders it can create a flashable signed replication that can often repair problems without full restore
exanple
flashable backups of soundeffects.conf,build.prop,launcher,framework,systemapps,etc can save you many hassles.
also another huge tip
my recovery twrp has a file manager
example
i have a copy of my build.prop in my system named build.prop.bak
say i made a build.prop edit but wasnt worried or forgot to backup
my edit bootlooped me
i boot to recovery mount system,go to filemanager delete or rename the build.prop then remove .bak from the copy ,reboot,Problem solved.
you cab use this for anything franework ,apps ,init.d
I mod everything so i do bootloop trying things but i can often fix problems without ever doin restore
Another valuable tool
an app nandroid backup manager
it can go into your Backups and extract files and data Even if your backup wont boot
example
Say you flashed a new kernel You forgot to do a backup
Oh **** you flashed a kernel for your other phone .
you are totally screwed
Go ahead make a backup even though it wont boot
once you get a rom installed or firmware flash
you can use the manager to easily get everything you want out of your backups
Prep
i am gonna say all phones have "govenors and Restricters
Most have badass hardware. But none of the software was ever written to get full potential of all high tec hardware
Often just few build.prop edits can make your phones sound much better.
This is different anongst phones but the concept is the same
i have a samsung tab 4 7 inch 4.4.2with marvel processors.No delopment at all for it. There is no api for bluetooth,Couldnt run an eq Well **** that sucks It so fricken quiet i couldnt here a thing even through bluetoot
.i forget exactly what i did but in build.prop was a line telling the system where calibration files are
something like gen cal.db tel/cal/gen_cal.db i forget exactlty
removed the cal files also removed cal applet from System/bin I think the was some crap on nv
well after that my phone wasnt limiting my audio
then while boppin around through my decompiled global.jar i stumbled across something like
playback_resampling=0
well i changed that to a 1
then 20 lines down i see
blahblah_allow srs_processing=0
hell ya i changed to 1
Holy Crap Wow was i surprised.
another common one is
framework res "maybe elsewhere"
blahblah_safe_mediasound=1
changing to 0 reduced phones software limits
If you have this You will see it if you use app like sqlEditor and look in data/data/android.provider/settings
safe_media 3
when disabled will show a 1
OFF TOPIC BUT VERY VALUBLE
amongst global.jar,framework.res or settings apk there is a line
device_provisioned=0 i forget the exact line
change to 1
often when modding or tweaking or just by accident that after a factory reset your phone starts acting Dumb
like home key doesnt work reboot menu isnt all there.
so you have to use sqleditor and correct devisioning in settings table and reboot
if you change this as i explained this will never happen to you
Srs
for those that know what they are doing.
uzip these. srsprocessing goes in system/etc/srs
the two truemedia files go in system/etc/soundimage
REBOOT
depending on your specific mod truemedia files may be in system/etc and not in a soundimage folder
these will add huge huge bass to your srs while using BLUETOOTH
Be careful some small speakers may tear or simply RUN AWAY
amTruemedia i have decreased compression and windows. Added gain and added huge place holders to bass mins
srs_processong decreased compression and window dropped freq to 55hz and added gain
you will need a min of 90 mb free in system
these took hours and hour to make as i dont have a computer so all was done from my phone. just to load a file in jota takes 5 minutes then another 5 to insert aditional lines
Anybody with a comouter can open these up and make these sounds four times increased than what i have
ps. on the srs_processing file i got tired and stopped editing. So the 55hz is more inxreased in the video aspect. But this is just the surface anybody can modify these.
Its possible for audio mod creators to package these in there mods already
also with addin huge boost at srs level its likely that some dolby and max will tone these down. Try turning them off in build prop to see. Such i have down. i shut max complely off except for dts ,also i have dolby off as well.
And you can make huge eq to these wirh edits turni on eq turn on all bands,add gain and add placeholders to band mins
beats
This is my next project, but maybe somebody here can play with it
there the beats files Extract and put to system/etc/tfa REBOOT
Some beats mods have more eq files than these
you can likely use these settings by makin copy and renaming
Dolby and Sony
these can give you huge sound if your audio mod uses it.
the folder is system/etc/sony_effect
unzip and replace yours with mine and reboot.
Still to come
Abother huge dolby mod Huge sound .It was very tricky to get to work right will dolbys tuning,ak parameters and clamps. But i did managed to get around it all
I package it for you with an explanation soon

I think i'll try this... XD
One question: Why the file size of these are times 1000 the size of any srs configs i have known?
i am trying to make use of all the intelligenxe on these files.To be real about your question. Most audio mods you see are a ton of files put together All having big names."sony,etc" i have been able to use them for what i want.
i havent found any other way to get the sound i want.
The files are so big because sound has been added to them.So far the only way i have learned to do so is by increasing values and file size is the cost.
The srs files have Huge bass boom that is very clean if the system runs properly.
I want to spend alot of time to explain everything. I am homeles and do everything from a phone. I have a weird life and get side tracked often .
If people here knew what i have learned Audio mods would be changed forever.
i have a 49 dollar samsung light and a shark bluetooth speaker that sets the air on fire when i play music and videos.
i have mods and edits for alot of various mod packs.
Again i apologize for not giving you everything i know.
Hey i just noticed by removing the small srs lic files increases my output.
I will get two dolby files up here tonight, They are big files also. But if setup right will make your phone a movie theater
i am hoping someone will test this.
I have gotten this onkyo app to run its equalizer on 50 bands
on my little phone. it required a little data manipulation
Now trying to make it apart of the app
This is weird since Onkyo has alot of signature crapThe gains are already set to 12
install and turn eq on . then raise the eq bar up.
Honestly i have alot of system edits that i am unsure of how
much this does alone.its sounds fuc****in great on my phone
Edit
had to upload this in another post for some reason
Scroll down to get file
if you use Bsplayer
in its settings you can raise presmp to 500 percent
thats great when you files low in sound
Want even more?
in its data folder Shared prefences
these will give you even more
this is the preamp string bsplayer uses to tell its preamp what to do
the app only gets it to 500
i changed to 1000 Bam signifacant gain
<string name="papreamp">1000</string>
here it is
if this works correctly you will have a 50 band equalizer set at full. turn on eq and raise its bar
i am not sure whats gonna happen if you start adjustin individual bands. i may work on this more
if this doesnt work right i can give you my data files
Edit
i am uploading another copy that doesnt bother plist
If you try this
results are more valuable thank yous
i dont have anyone to test And my phones are so tweaked with audio crap i dont need more,But i want it if i can make it.
onkyo mod2
to make this more clear
the eq comes stock with 11 bands that are set to 0
you use the apps eq to modify
i rewrote the eq file with 50 bands and set gain to 12
so the app is running the file as written but isnt aware of what its doin
Originally i just the bands in its data folder which made it temporary. Tryin to get it a permanent mod
##
I think the way i did this the app applies band gains even with eq off
not sure
Let me know how this works for you
1 Anybody here want to work on an audio mod package
I especially need someone who is good at adding libraries to the sound conf also creating flashable scripts
After trying many audio mods i havent found 1 i am totally happy with..
2
i am using a copy of
_UNIVERSAL__HTKaudio_2016
basically its another decent audio mod
I have it to make my speaker blow smoke
i even get deep base like them cars drivin by.
i hsve s shark bluetooth speaker .the 15 watt one made of metal. its pretty heavy. Well i get it to hop around .
If you want to try sonething new I will take time to give you step by step instructions And all the modded files
to have badass audio on your phone
Nothing compares to it at all. The phones like Htc these files come stock on are weak.
Since theres nothing close .Its a little chore
i have done the most the time comsuning work
You will just need to flash the htk mod All the edited files i have and a little time to make edits and replace files
If you do You will ask yourself why this Sh** been around for years but never sounded like this
You have got to this
MY third rendition of Onkyo music player
Holy crap
This little bastard puts out alot of sound with tons of bass
Unzip and install.
if you already have a copy installed Delete data after updating
PLEASE POST ANY RESULTS YOU HAVE
tThanks

50 Band--unbearable screech. What's that? Why are all the Mod.O.HF.players same size after your modifications? Anyway, fyi, sound in a little better without FeaturedEQ.
