I tried to find something like this. I didn't have much luck so I decided to post this.
I just got AnEq Graphic Equalizer for $.99 on Play Store. Every time I turn it on the music starts skipping no matter how I set it. It doesn't do this in any other situation. The equalizer in PowerAmp works great. None of the internet radio apps that I've tried have an EQ so I really need an add-on.
Is there maybe a change somewhere that would let me use this app? I like the way it enhances the tone but the skips are unacceptable.
I'm on Tweaked with PB&J-FP1 on Ext4. I have Voodoo sound. Switching it off makes no change. Like I said my sound is good unless I try to use AnEq.
Hmm... While it would require a bit of work on your end, I would try it out on full stock and verify it works as it should, and if it does then verify again after flashing either the kernel or the rom (but not both). Unless other more knowledgeable folks have a better idea of what could be at play here, it's hard to say what the problem could be (or where one should look to figure it out). Let me know if you find anything out.

Thanks Dwitherell. I'll let this ride for a little while in case somebody can answer it. If I have no luck I'll try that. Maybe another (free) EQ app would do it. I'll keep working on it. Thanks again. I love your rom.

I'm being a little wimpy about reverting back to full stock. I haven't ruled it out though. So far I've tried a different EQ called Equalizer ($2) and uninstalling Voodoo Sound and PowerAmp. Also I've disabled my O/c'ing and went back to On Demand. Nothing changed.
I guess I'll probably try to go back to stock this weekend, depending on whether I have the time or not. I guess you're right. That's probably the best place to start.
The thing is I really like the setup I have now. If I can't keep it and have an EQ then I'll do without the EQ. I really like Tweaked plus PB&J-FP1 on Ext4 and I like it running at 1200 Mhz with Smartass. It never feels quite as smooth on RFS.
You could try DSPManager. That's what I am using and it's not skipping at all. I have voodoo sound set up the way I like it and using DSPManager for the EQ. Only use the EQ in DSPManager, enabling other things can cause the music to skip. You can download Eclipse 2.0 and pull the file out of /system/app folder in that zip. Then using root explorer put it in /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot your phone.

DSPManager causes the skips too. The only equalizer that works right for me is the one in Power Amp. But of course that works only in the P/A app. It can be made to sound awesome on any recording I have in my phone.
I got PB&J-FP1 0502 yesterday and that makes no difference too. I'm still considering trying out stock FP1 this weekend if I can find the time.
I just thought to try something else. I turned off wifi and it seems to be OK coming in through 4g. Hmmmm. Maybe I'm on to something here.
Yep, it's definite. I've been listening for over 5 minutes with it sounding perfect with Voodoo and DSP enabled. Wifi is obviously the culprit.
OK maybe I spoke too soon. It skips on 3g and 4g too. The only thing I'm relatively sure of is that it seems to get quite a bit better if I'm across the room from my computer desk. The wifi router sits right next to the desk and it seems to be worse when I'm close to it. I think it must be picking up clicks and skips from the radio signals.
I guess the next thing to try is the stock rom. I need some time for that. I don't get a lot of time to just play with my toys but I'll get around to it.
Could be a FP1 problem. I started getting clicks and pops in calls and skips in music since FP1. Happened on eclipse and tweaked. I also had random occurrences of the speaker being "on" after boot. I'd hear static and pops coming from my phone right after boot. Had to kill all services to stop it.
Basically all around weirdness related to audio with FP1. Wonder if there's a system file we can take from an old ROM that might fix things. Not sure where the audio "driver" resides.

it skips because its not getting enough power try setting the governor to performance it will clear that up.
** note running in performance will drain your battery fast plug it in **
I had the same problem. I reinstalled Tweeked 2.1 through Odin n no problems since.
Problem resolved for me too. Backed up, Odin'd EP4 with PIT, took FP1 OTA update, Odin'd Tweaked 2.1 and restored with Titanium.
I used the CWM image when I installed Tweaked 2.0 before. Thinking Odin may have been the difference this time...

I set up Voodoo sound to give me a somewhat acceptable sound and blew off trying to get an aftermarket equalizer to work. Thanks for the suggestions.

Recently installed EB 2.5 (nightly 05-07) w/ harsh kernel, and have a couple of questions/possible bugs... was wondering if anyone else has seen these issues:
- CWM (5.0.0.7) buggy from app: eg, fails to backup current ROM, cannot browse backups, etc. Runs fine in recovery, but not so hot in app
- Brightness settings. Auto doesn't seem to work, and the 50/75/100 settings are all the same
- AnTuTu sometimes doesn't do so well with SD I/O test (hangs up, then gives up)
Lastly, I know that the camcorder is a known issue w/ ICS due to shortcomings w/ LG. But I seem to remember someone mentioning a workaround w/ a third-party app. I just can't seem to find the post that I read it on... any help??
Overall, I thought I would be a little skittish about moving from CM7 to ICS, but this build is great!! Thanks to the devs!
TIA

VideoCam Illusion is the app you looking for.

CWM from the app and CWM in recovery are two different things. Anything CWM related you will want to do in recovery.
The brightness thing is a known issue, but I'm not sure what the deal is with that. Something about the sensor I believe. A miracle that it works at all... or something like that.
With the whole CWM thing you need to reboot into the recovery that way and just bypass the ROM manager app all together. And the backlight issue is being worked on but no solution has been presented yet.

i have the same rom and and kernel and i already back up and everything with no issues different is i have clock mod rec 5.8.1.3 i just use rom manager to rename file
Haven't seen this topic covered in the Synergy forum, so I was hoping to hear if anyone knows of this issue and knows how to fix.
I have flashed the r373 ROM from Synergy a few times. I have a Verizon i535 phone. The ROM works great overall.
Did a Superwipe and using Ziggy Kernle and stock, i.e. non-selected, keyboard during install.
I find that during typing on the keyboard, in either Mail or Message, that once in a while the phone freezes for about 20-30 seconds. I cannon do anything in the mean time but wait. It seems to hold the cue of clicks, so that once it finally gets going, after 20-30 seconds, it flushes out the cue of clicks.
I have loaded this ROM (r373) twice and have the same issue. I tried one of the other keyboard options during the install, but same result.
Any ideas or help?
Otherwise, I love this ROM. Phenomenal battery life.
Thanks.

It's a known issue. Probably kernel related. No fix yet. Some have suggested changing the govenor from ondemand to somthing else like smartassv2. That seems to work but its more of a workaround.

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear that it is a known issue and not just some problem in the way I am flashing.
I'm not sure I follow you on how to attempt the work around with what you describe about changing the govenor. Where do I change these settings?
Where, or how, do I learn more about this?
Thanks again.
Also fyi, the lag isn't just in email and message. You could be doing anything and it'll just freeze for a bit. I get like 2 instances a day. I would switch the kernel if Ziggy's kernel wasn't so awesome otherwise.
Basically to get rid of the freezes, you could flash a new kernel - either stock or another 3rd party kernel like LeanKernel
OR (not sure if this second method works 100%)
you can change your kernel governor
Description of various kernel governors
Synergy's default gov. for the ziggy kernel is ondemand. To change it you can use an app like SetCPU or ROM Toolbox or you can use the synergy's toolbox feature. If you want to use the synergy toolbox, go into you recovery, flash the rom to start aroma installer but do not hit install rom. Instead, select the toolbox, change the governor, apply changes, then hit menu and exit. Then you can reboot your phone. You wont have to actually re-flash anything.

Updated to r443 reciently, with the Copy/Paste fix also, and this issue seems to be not occurring anymore. Just thought you might want to know.
Hello,
my tablet is producing a very loud "pop" noise when speaker turns off (ie. after any sound). Galaxy Nexus seemed to have the same (hardware) issue, but I believe that mine is caused by software, as it started after I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 (latest nightly). I'm running following setup right now:
DhollmenCM (but I flashed cyanogenmod over it, not sure if it's still here)
CyanogenMod 10.1 latest nightly
GApps for CM 10.1
Before installing CM everything worked well (but the original ROM is **** and I need profiles). How am I supposed to fix this?
I've had that before as well. Do you by chance have any audio enhancing software installed besides DSP Manager? Programs like Volume+ are notorious for this.
DSP Manager has everything disabled, nothing else is installed.
First I would try to remove DSP just to see if that's the problem.
Here is a simple app that I use to remove apps that the ROM's have in them that I don't want. I usually do it after I flash because I don't feel like opening the ROM on the computer and removing them ahead of time.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u4wijb1zwzdd3pn/4TyYtOpd1x
If removing DSP doesn't solve your issue and you didn't have this problem previously, I would reflash wiping "everything" before flash, including data. Since at that point there would be no way to be certain what is causing it. I don't believe the kernel could be the problem as I am running CM10.1 and the Dhollmen kernel as well and don't have any issues.
I have reflashed everything many times - with no effect. After removal of DSP there's no difference too.

But did you wipe the system before flashing?
This is critical to make sure you have a clean installation, without it there are pieces that get left behind and cause all sorts of issues. If you have wiped, then it sounds like you have developed a hardware issue. Did it get dropped any time recently?
pzduniak,
I don't know if you're still having this problem, but I ran into this problem too. It was driving me nuts. It started happening when I was playing Pixel Dungeons.. then crept to my alarm and popped every time sounds played. I tried the DSPManager thing to no avail, but I tried this and so far have not heard any popping. I'm still testing, but I went into system>build.prop (I'm on a Sprint Galaxy S3, so just find build.prop on your device). In build.prop (make sure you're rooted so you can make changes), change the line that says lpa.decode=true to false. reboot and try that out. I researched very little about lpa.decode, but I remember having a problem in stock with battery drain and lpa.decode.. I dont know if it's true at all but give that a shot and let me know if the pops go away!
Good luck!

I had been having this popping problem for a while now, and Google brought me here. I went ahead and changed the lpa.decode to false like you suggested and it worked like a charm! Thanks mtran2988!
Hello!!
I have an issue with my Mate8, I really don't know if this is in all phones or just in mine....
It's when a song or a video is playing, and when the power button is pressed to lock the phone, the audio breaks for like half a second, but if you press the button again to unlock, it do it again, and everytime you press the lock button.... it kinda annoys me a lot.
The rare is that this only happens when the audio is coming from the speakers; when i have anything plugged in (headphones or whatever) it dissapear, and with bluetooth headphones dissapears too.
It happens with all apps, spotify, native app, soundcloud, vlc, poweramp...etc
Thanks a lot!!
Best regards, Elías.

I did have this problem previously after flashing a pre-rooted rom of version B320, but it went away after I flashed the stock rom back.
Since you haven't mentioned anything about custom roms and/or rooting, I'm going to assume you're on a stock rom at the moment, in which case I'd suggest a factory reset (backup data 1st of course)
If you're running a customized rom I'd suggest discussing it in whichever thread you got that rom from as the issue may be specific to that rom

Hi!
Yes, i'm on stock right now, i'm really amazed by this phone, and i didn't think that was normal, gonna try that!

No problem, please leave feedback after if it worked or not, may just help someone else down the line...
I'm on B320 and this happens to me too! Please come back and tell us if it disappeared after a factory reset because I might do one as well.

It worked!!! it was very annoying! now it's gone, just a factory reset. :good:
I did a factory reset and it worked fine! but now the problem is back again..... but in a different way, the first time it happened when the lock/unlock button was hitten, but now, is when the home button & recent apps button, is now even more annoying and when i lock/unlock doesn't have the problem.... it's like the problem traslade to the home/recent apps buttons........ what can i do??

I'm wondering if that might be a CPU usage issue, try go to settings - advanced - battery manager - power plan, and set it to performance mode to see if the problem still occurs

SOLVED!
It appears to be some setting in Nova launcher that caused this, i have to install/uninstall a lot to get into this, but 100% sure is some setting in nova, just did a clean reset of the phone and everything superb! reinstalled nova but this time, trying not to modify a lot like before and it's working perfectly.
