Are there any DSP managers that work with our Motoblur 2.2 ROM other than PowerAmp? PowerAmp is fine for playing stored music; I find myself listening to Pandora more often though. Even on the treble booster audio setting everything sounds muffled.

Not positive, but you might be able to use AudioEffectSettings.apk from CM7. Its a Moto DSP app. I've never tried, but then again, I've ran a custom rom since the 4th hour of owning a Bravo. Push\paste it into /system/app and set the permissions to either 644 or whatever the other apps have in the gui of your filemanager.
Open a terminal\command prompt in the folder with the file and use this command
Linux Version
Code:
adb remount && adb push ./AudioEffectSettings.apk /system/app && adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/AudioEffectSettings.apk && adb reboot
Windows Version
Code:
adb remount && adb push .\AudioEffectSettings.apk /system/app && adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/AudioEffectSettings.apk && adb reboot
Note that the only difference is ./ to .\ between the two.
The only problem I can see is Android changed the DSP framework from 2.2(stock) to 2.3(CM7\MS2\MIUI). It won't cause bootloops or anything bad to happen, but it might not work.
If you're running stock you should switch to the BravoX rom -- its a stock deodexed rom for the Bravo and it runs much faster and smoother.
If you do try this let us know if it works.
I usually just use cm7, but due to some rather bothersome problems I've had lately I decide to just use BravoX for awhile. I just tend to be a bit of an audiofile.( That was the original reason for my switch to to CM7 actually.)
which is easier to use ADB under: Ubuntu or Windows? I run both on a dual boot. Also could you point me to a tutorial of adb? I always avoided it because of how complicated it seemed.
It depends on which system you're more comfortable using the command line on really; or use the most. I'd use the linux version myself, but linux is my only OS
Go here and you'll find all the instructions you'll need for either windows or linux install.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Its a bit complicated but really worth it in the end to have adb installed -- once you get the hang of pushing files to your device you'll never mount your sdcard again. Adb is much safer anyways; less chances of file system corruption from multiple OS's mounting and unmounting the sdcard. It happened to me a lot when I dual booted 7 and Mint 12 -- every time windows would unmount it I'd have file corruption issues. Since I quit using windows I haven't had file corruption anymore.
If you need more help than what that site has, just search the forums here (there are tons of adb tutorials) then post here if you can't find what you're looking for.
//I'm an audiofile myself. The DSPManager not working on CM9\10 really grinds my gears -- its still required to be installed for 3rd party DSPManagers to function (PowerAmp, MortPlayer, etc). There's also a paid equalizer app on the market, but I've never used it at all. Not sure if it supports Froyo, but it does support Gingerbread and up.
If I don't post back anytime soon its because my PC is on the ass end of the next PA compile and it gets really slow on the java compile for the apk's.
I forgot that I already had it all setup in windows. Now I just have to look through some of the tutorials on here.
I actually already had it installed completely under Windows. I just need to learn the commands. I know it's adb push, but from their I'm learning.
opps, My computer didn't show my previous post. so now theirs two. sorry.
I just noticed that you already had the command there. it wont let adb remount run though it just keeps telling me "remount failed: operation not permitted." my phone has android debugging enabled. what would cause that?
okay, I have it all sorted out. It sent the AudioEffectSetting.apk over and so far no problems. It's allowing me to change the audio effects, and the stock music app is working. I don't think it sounds as muffled as it did. would this allow for me to use the CM7 Dsp manager app? would that be the best way to test?

Glad that AudioEffects works. Good to know if you run the stock roms.
Just push DSP and try. Worst that'll happen is you'll have to remove it.
I think it relies on the library /system/lib/soundfx/libcyanogen-dsp.so, push it if DSPManager doesn't work.
The permissions are still 0644 for these files. Most libraries and apks are.
to remove
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/DSPManager.apk && rm /system/lib/soundfx/libcyanogen-dsp.so
I've been having adb issues for a while now. Enabling tethering fixes it for me. What sucks is I can't use adb in the bootmenu or pull a logcat on boot.
Something here isn't happening right. Adb says the files are pushing fine. the DSP manager is not showing up anywhere though. as a test I ran the the push command by itself and then ran the second part separately. when It goes to run that second part to set the permission though it tells me that that directory does not exist. it's listing the files as the wrong sizes too. the DSP Manager is only 42Kb, and adb is pushing something that is 660Kb. It's doing that with all of them. the sizes are always listed wrong.

That's weird, the file sizes. How long ago did you set up adb? Its probably been updated since the last time you used it. On my system all I have to do it type "android" and it opens up the sdk to update it. I've never used the sdk under Windows so I'm not sure the proper command to update it (my adb on windows was in a root kit).
Just use a file manager to do it. I recommend Apoonet's MiFileExplorer (here on xda) or Yaffs Explorere by TPruvot (Epsylon3) on the market. I suggest Yaffs because it also shows you the linux chmod code when you change file permissions (useful feature if you're learning chmod).
Since its related I'll add that if you've ever added an app /system/app and it didn't work properly, it requires a lib to be added to /system/lib. You have to do it manually by opening up the apk and copying the lib over (use the arm7 lib if there are more than 1 of the same name). There is no lib in DSPManager but it relies on the one mentioned earlier.
Good Luck
I think what happened with the lib mentioned earlier is that there is no soundfx folder in system/lib/. I went looking for it last night with a file manager. there is one in there called DSP though. I would have justt pushed the audio lib there, but I didn't think the DSPmanager.apk would find it.
The DSPmanager from Cm6 will start up. it won't do anything though. do you know what libs it relies on?
I guess Froyo doesn't have that folder (just checked the SBF)
Here's the soundfx folder from a Defy GingerBread SBF -- non flashable zip.
Just make a soundfx folder in /system/lib and copy all the files to it; same permissions as always.
The dsp folder is codec related, not effects
Not sure what lib is required for CM6 (never used it)
I have everything in the folders now. CM7 DSPManager still won't show up. I went in and found it in Yaff's. When I try to install it through Yaff's it just tells my that there was a problem parsing the package. Also your link isn't showing; I have one of you CM7 Kang zips that I have been pulling files from though.

I guess I forgot to upload it. I was sleepy. Its up there now.
It won't install since its a system app. The only way to use it is to place it at /system/app with the correct permissions and reboot. If it doesn't show up it might just not work on Froyo.
Try this flashable zip. Make a nandroid before flashing it. I replaced a few audio libs, changed the DSPManager.apk sdk version to froyo. There's a chance this zip will either work or cause bootloops or do nothing at all. I can't test it since I'm on PA and I don't feel like SBFing back to Froyo, then flashing BravoX.
EDIT
Forgot to add -- if the zip flashes just fine, boots fine, and DSPManager opens but does nothing, add in libaudio.so from CM7 in the zip here to /system/lib and reflash it.
I got stuck on the Red M both times I tried. The first time I was on the BravoX recovery; the second time (after SBFing) I tried under 2nd-init. i'm beginning to wonder if this is possible. I guess I'll start burring my head in lots of forums and try again tomorrow.
You're awesome for all the support you've been giving me though. I get the feeling we're really close to getting this working.

try removing libeffects.so.
The fourms I found added in libaudiofilinger.so and libaudio.so if needed -- I forgot that our libaudio.so on CM7 is from stock froyo so its not necessary here.
I know that the 3rd Party DSP's on the Market use their own special libraries on Froyo\2.2 roms to give them GB style DSP's. Google upgraded the DSP framework from 2.2 to 2.3.
If you looking for Pure Music functionality and awesomeness then I highly recommend changing to CM7. GB roms have the best mods for audio effects, long press the volume for track changing. The fx folder is necessary (at least in some Miui Ports its was).
That said, I'll jump back to BravoX and see if I can't get it working on my phone. I like a challenge and doing something that benefits a native Bravo rom. Unlike everyone else here, I have a rooted SBF (made it myself) so its not very hard for me to do -- flash sbf, run market enabler, install 2nd-init, flash away . If I had remembered to backup my /data partition into the sbf I wouldn't even have to do that...just sbf and install 2nd-init.
Since you're on BravoX, have you ever tried the BlurLauncher3D Walter79 uses with MS2 Ginger? I'm about to use it with BravoX so I'll find out if it works or not.
---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------
Back on BravoX. I need to tweak its init scripts to load the multitouch module and overclock module. Also, no tethering sucks.
---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------
Managed to disable the tethering entitlement check.....only I'm forced to tether with 3g and not my home wifi like I do on CM7 -- that needs to be fixed, but at least I can post on the forums with my Keyboard again. I'm gonna keep messing around and see if I can't get it to use my home wifi instead of 3g.
Btw, to use thethering -- open build.prop and change ro.mot.entitlement_check=true to =false -- that's it. And I was changing smali code until I saw that prop string embedded in it.
Had to jump back to PA -- tethering was eating up my 3g bandwidth.
I started using the Droid 1 CM6 libs -- they don't cause bootloops or issues, but they don't make DSPManager work either. So far I've tried libaudio.so and libaudioflinger.so.
Wow, that was a lot of explanation.lol I haven't had time to try anything. you also tried the only thing I found anything on.
I haven't used tethering so far I never had a reason too. why do you have to use it?
Also, did you ever get blur launcher 3d to work on BravoX. I tried getting it to work with CM7 before, but all I ended up with the many times I tried was everything being deleted from my homescreens and the ROM would become extremely buggy.

My PC is farther from the router than my longest ethernet wire so I connect to WIFI on the Bravo and tether it. I can only do it on CM7\9\10\Miui. Moto roms have an entitlement check in them. I found the build.prop string to disable the check, but I'm still working on changing the default dhcp settings for tethering -- they're set to 192.168.43.XXX and I need it set to 192.168.0.XXX. I changed the dhcp range values in the smali code of services.jar but it didn't matter. I think there might be another smali file with dhcp ranges somewhere else. I don't want to change my routers dhcp range since all my WiFi devices are set to connect to a static IP (had to for the iPhones in the house -- the iPhone dhcp bug).

Updated, but still feeling slow? Back up. Try rm system/sd/app_s then reboot to recovery and wipe data. then install fresh. Before restoring your data, open the backup folder on your sd card and remove the subfolders for programs you no longer have or need to have backed up.
I noticed a 10% increase in speed and my phone was far from lagging to begin with.
Losing messages? Make sure that system/sd/app/com.android.mms.apk does NOT exist, as this was an old release. Go into settings for messaging (from the conversation list panel) and set priority to "High"

Now includes dynamic swap. Rewrote the method of apps to sd for myTouch.
Build will move system apps, user apps, and dalvik to sd on a g1 device.
Build will ONLY move user apps to the sd when using a myTouch.
This will allow the system apps and dalvik to remain on internal device.
This is a completely new method of doing a merge build so bear with me.
I am going to be rewriting things for users without a lot of user apps, like myself.
This will allow the entire build to be placed onto internal for mytouch users.
Once you have updated and are ready to use the phone, execute Terminal and enter the following commands:

I've been trying to get a build going from aosp-master for the past week and I think I've finally cracked it.. As far as I can tell I've got all the google apps working, everything syncs up properly including contacts.. but I need some help setting up what have become the standard features of a custom rom. I asked some of this in Q&A the other day but I don't think any devs go in there any more, and I don't blame you. These questions probably belong here anyway..
1) Whats the proper process for rooting a self-built rom? I managed to hack something together by changing the permissions on sh and su, but it won't work on my current build and it probably opened up security holes everywhere. How do you lot do it?
2) What's the correct way to set up a2sd? I've put cyanogen's script in my init script (launched as a one shot service from init.rc) but I'm not sure if it's working properly, or if that's the accepted way of doing things.
3) Where should I set up the links for busybox, in my init script or somewhere else? It doesn't seem to be working from there..
4) The initial boot of my current build is a bit messy.. I get a selection box asking me to choose from 2 setup apps (google or the default), but I don't know how to remove the default one. I'm not using the SdkSetup package or anything..
Any help would be very much appreciated.
1) Make sure adb runs as root (init.rc), and add the modified su binary and Superuser.apk's from one of the other builds.
2) Usually, A2SD scripts are launched as one-shot services via init.rc.
3) Not in the init script... Not sure where, exactly, as the shell doesn't bother to read any "on-launch" scripts
4) To remove that, i'm pretty sure you have remove one of them completely, by deleting the APK.
Hope that helps...

if you don't mind my asking, how did you get the google apps to sync up?
Myself and apparently many others like the AOSP apps better than the sense apps. I find the interface for the AOSP messaging, calendar, browser, calculator, and dialer/contacts applications to be more attractive and in some cases more usable. I really liked Bugless Beast 0.4 since it featured these applications, but I have had a hard time with the bug that keeps disk drive from working, and there are various reports of some syncing and battery issues. The EVO-NonSense series has been great too, but I use HDMI out sometimes and like having some of the sense stuff installed. Big thanks to both BuglessPete and tjohnsonjr for their AOSP work.
(7/18/2010) I have attached some of the files I have been using, see descriptions at the bottom of the post.
So since it took a little digging for me to figure out how to do this (even though to advanced users this is easy) I thought it might come in handy for other new users. Additionally I'm hoping by posting this someone can help me figure out how to get the dialer/contacts stuff working, I have the others working fine.
I've done the below on DamageControl, and I think another (baked snack maybe, can't remember). I'll probably throw together an update.zip that can patch these in place later, but I'd rather get the dialer/contacts part figure out first.
Setup:
1. You will need a fully rooted (toast root part 2, NAND unlocked) phone, and adb up and running. There are several explanations for both parts, but the ones listed in the "useful threads" sticky are joeykrim's for adb and toast's part 1 and part 2 for root.
2. I have been using the apk's from BuglessPete's bugless beast 0.4 ROM. The thread for it is available here.
Once you unzip the file, you will find the needed apks in the /system/app folder.
Note: Please donate to pete, he doesn't even have an EVO yet and is doing some great work. Hopefully if he has a phone to work on he can get some of these small bugs squashed and keep the development for BB going.
3. Backup your phone. If you don't know how to reboot into recovery and restore from a nandroid backup, you do not want to do this yet, especially if you want to try help me figure out how to get the dialer running. The idea with the dialer is to try different things until something works. In all likelihood you will hit a point where things are FCing so much you can't do anything. You will almost certainly need to restore from a Nandroid backup at some point.
Important: More than likely anything I list here can't break a phone in a way that a nandroid restore won't fix, but I can not and will not be accountable for any problems with your phone.

One nice thing about adding files this way is you can pick and choose what to use. If you like the stock messaging but want the AOSP calendar, you can do just that.
Calculator: Calculator.apk
Calendar: CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk
Default "Navigator" application: CarDock.apk <- you can keep both
Internet: Browser.apk and HTMLViewer.apk <- doesn't show previews of each tab, but allows up to 8 instead of 4. There may be other functionality gained or lost, I dunno.
Clock: DeskClock.apk (can exist beside HTC clock, and can be installed without this procedure)
Messaging (SMS, Text): Mms.apk <- Many people have trouble with this one.
####### Not Working! See post #2 ########
# Phone: Phone.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk
###################################
To install:
I think you can use adb to do this install with the files still on the computer, but I go ahead and throw all the needed apks onto my sdcard, typically in a folder. Also, if you need to be in the Android SDK's /tools directory to use adb (this depends on your configuration) do that. Connect your phone, and make sure it is in "Charge Only" so the sdcard stays mounted. To make sure adb sees the phone properly issue:
Code:
adb devices
and you should get a return listing the device ID. If so we will mount the /system partition as read-write:
Code:
adb remount
Log into the phones local shell:
Code:
adb shell
you are now on the phones command line and file system, not on your local machine. Now we can start installing files. I'll use Calculator in this example, and I have the apk in a folder on the sdcard called AOSP_apks:
Code:
install /sdcard/AOSP_apks/Calculator.apk /system/app
You can do a couple at a time, and you must do more than one at a time when installing a provider like CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk.
Once you are done, exit the phone's shell, and reboot the phone:
Code:
exit
adb reboot
The change may show up immediately, but the phone and applications aren't designed to change these core functions on the fly, so make sure to reboot the phone. Once it reboots you will probably notice the AOSP icon has replaced the former, and you have the AOSP skin and/or functionality.
Post #2 will deal with progress so far on the dialer/contacts.
(added 7/17) Notes on different apks: The BB Launcher2.apk has his skin on the google search widget, or grab the apk from something else like DC for stock. Launcher.apk from BB is the one with the wide drawer and (I think) 9 screens.
Music.apk from DC is the modded music app from Cyanogen. It has some very nice UI tweaks.
Attached:
- Music.apk used in Cyanogenmod from DC
- Calendar, CalendarProvider, Browser and HTMLViewer from BB 0.4
- CarDock, Calculator, and MMS from AOSP EVO-NonSense
Contacts/Dialer Progress: I'm sure some of the more advanced developers know the answer to this, so ideally someone can fill me in. In the meantime I'll report my findings here, and if others can add feedback to the thread on what they have done, I'll update this post. Hopefully in the long run there will be a straightforward explanation for this I can add to the above post.
I have installed the three files listed above (ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk, and Phone.apk) which seems to install the right bits, but I get FCs.
Later on I added Telephony.apk and FutureDialService.apk, which didn't improve anything. Finally I noticed that Bugless Beast didn't have HTCDialer.apk, so I removed that as well. I think this was the point things went from the dialer and contacts applications FCing to non-stop FCs that kept me from doing anything on the phone.
Attached are the three apps I'm sure are involved for the Contacts/Dialer, pulled from tjohnsonjr's AOSP EVO. More files may be needed, but I'm still trying to figure out which.
The Dialer/Contacts apk used to work, I believe on ROMs that are not based off the newest OTA. Since it worked for me, but stopped once I started using ROMs based of the newest OTA. Anyways great post.
I installed the files and I cant see them. They're in the folders but its like they're hidden from the OS.
I tried to do this before since I love BB but the wake bug in v4 was killing me. I always got install errors. Did you delete the Mms.apk first.. THEN install Mms.apk and reboot? Or did you just install over it? I got errors either way. Also it totally disabled texting on my phone even after reinstalling the HTC Mms.apk.
I had to clean cache/reset then reflash my Nand backup and even then my texting was still broken until I sent one to my wife and then magically I got the 10-15 test "texts" I had sent.

Thanks and thanks. This is interesting. Of course BB is based on the older ROM, so maybe that is why BB works but this doesn't. I'll have to grab an older ROM and try that. It may be an issue of grabbing a newer build of the dialer or something.

Did it overwrite the existing files? Or do you totally not have whatever you installed, AOSP or sense? Which ROM and version?

Were you able to successfully do the adb remount first? The way I did it just overwrote the existing Mms.apk.
Also what ROM and version are you running?

BBv3 and yes the remount worked.. I am currently in my 84th hour of a long battery duration test so I can't plug it in and try it right now since it will wipe my stats. However it would give some "parse" error and then fail to install. If I forced it by just cp'ing the apk and chmod'ing the exec permissions it would fail horribly.
84th hour of a battery duration test? details please?

Was it something like
Code:

If so, I had the same error when I didn't have the /system partition fully mounted as read-write. Did you get any errors from the "adb remount" command?

Hmmm maybe I did and didn't notice it.. I am down to 8% right now so by mid day my battery will probably die. I am hoping to make the 100Hr on one charge mark, after that I will try again and note any errors.

ok so I just redid your steps and I didn't get the error code this time (maybe my remount didn't work the last time I tried it). But now I get FC everytime I try and launch the text app. I installed over the Htc mms.apk =(
Anyone got an HTC Mms.apk handy they can post so I don't have to restore nand?
If you have the AOSP apps available, could you please post them all in .zip folder in the OP?

NVM I extracted it from an old nand backup. So, for me at least the Mms.apk from AOSP causes FCs and won't run at all . Put the HTC Mms.apk back and it works fine. =( Urgh any hints?
edited to add the HTC Mms.apk incase someone does what I did and kills it, so they dont' have to go through the process of trying to extract it.

Interesting that you say that, since I had some MMS texts in my cache. Wondering if when the AOSP version couldn't deal with them so it just FC'ed instead.
So I tried that, deleting ALL my texts so it wouldn't have some MMS collision or something. But that didn't work either, HTC Mms.apk works fine.. the AOSP.apk FC's. Could the OP or something with a working AOSP Mms.apk post it maybe it's my copy. Mine has an MD5 of : 441e3b8863bc3ab88ce6ad9bc1671f22
I have mms messages in my cache too. The AOSP apk shows them fine, just can't send new mms messages. Maybe your file is corrupt?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I going to upload all the AOSP apks that I include in my ROMs when I get home tonight.
Can you tell us how you got contacts.apk to work? I'm trying with FreshRom and I pulled the Contacts.apk from your Rom and it won't recognize the file when I push it using adbshell. The file is in the app folder but android ignores it.

THERE IS A NEW FLASH PLAYER ON THE MARKET I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT UPDATING UNLESS YOU REALLY WANNA RISK LOSING HULU
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These fixes are no the actual hulu app or even a change to the hulu app at all. It is a fix which roles back the version of stagefright which just so happens to be the fix for the demon voices.
This may negativity effect Youtube, Pandora, and xm radio.
I MADE AN UPDATE ZIP THAT
I HAVE CONFIRMED WORKING BY donnyevo4g and several others
I have tested it myself
So try it out I need feedback!!
Make a Backup first just flash and your done. (The zip is called Hulufix.zip)
This zip roles back stagefright and fixes demon voices.
****IF THIS WORKS DISREGARD ALL BELOW****
*****MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP BEFORE ANY OF THIS*****
Here are basic instructions for using adb. Thank you rutter9 for the files and how he did it.
1. Unzip the contents into your android-sdk tools folder
2. adb reboot recovery
3. In recovery go to partitions and select mount\system
4. adb remount
5. Than use these adb commands
Code:
adb push libstagefrighthw.so /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so
adb push libstagefright_omx.so /system/lib/libstagefright_omx.so
adb push libstagefright_color_conversion.so /system/lib/libstagefright_color_conversion.so
adb push libstagefright_avc_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_avc_common.so
adb push libstagefright_amrnb_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_amrnb_common.so
adb push libstagefright.so /system/lib/libstagefright.so
6. In partitions menu unmount/system
7. adb reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other way for those who don't like or use clockwork recovery. This time i'm giving thanks to JTNiggle (who has done a lot on this thread thanks )
Okay, i'll give this my best shot here, not my fault if your phone burns down your house. As always, nandroid before, during, after and in between.
First, download the attachments from this post. Unzip Hulu Working Stagefright.zip and place it's contents in your sdk tools folder. Also place Hulu.apk and flash-fixed.apk in the sdk tools folder.
Part 1 (If you don't already have hulu app with flash fix)
On ur phone, open Root Explorer, (or whatever file manager you use but Root Explorer is the best) and navigate to /system/app, make sure you have full permissions set and mounted as r/w. Find all the flash apk's, some ROM's have two, some have one. Their actual names vary, so look thoroughly. Just rename them to something like flash.apk.old, this way you can rename them back if something goes wrong.
Now, still in Root Explorer, navigate to /system/lib, make sure you have full permissions set and mounted as r/w. After that, close the explorer and plug your phone into your pc.
Open up a command promt and navigate to your sdk tools folder where you placed the downloaded files.
Run these commands, one at a time, tapping enter after each one.
Code:
adb push flash-fixed.apk /system/app/
adb push Hulu.apk /system/app/
Now, on your phone, go back into Root Explorer, and navigate to /system/app, find the apk's you just pushed. Tap each one and pick install, follow prompts from there to finish the install. Close the explorer when finished.
If you want, at this point, you can try and open up Hulu on your phone, and see how it's running. The video should start playing fine, but you'll have the demon voices, no biggie, we'll fix that in a minute. If the video wont play at all, and you get a message like, not optimized for your device, or not supported on your platform, then Flash did not install properly. Check everything and re-do the above steps until you get video playback on Hulu. I've had to run through it twice to get it to work sometimes.
Part 2 Once you have hulu and you want to fix demon voices
Now, back to the command promt from your sdk tools folder. Run these commands one at a time, tapping enter after each one.
Code:
adb push libstagefright.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_amrnb_common.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_avc_common.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_color_conversion.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_omx.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefrighthw.so /system/lib/
Now that all the files are in the proper places, you can reboot, so run
Code:
adb reboot
once your phone boots up, it should be good to go. If not,
This may provide mix results. This is a temporary fix
Good Luck

I don't have the before. Deleted. I know it also worked with the stock Rom running kings #6 BFS318-2.6.32.15. I think you'll find all the new roms people are reporting it not working with are using the updated kernel.
Evio 1.2 not working
Working fine with evio 1.2 with bfs #8. Voices fine. Video smooth at 1228mhz.
Edit: that was 1.2beta before the build was changed. Also had it working no problem on evio 1.1.

Also, I believe the actual hulu app has nothing to do with this. Isn't is just a glorified browser to the hulu mobile widget?

Well you can try this. Here are my library files for stagefright. Mount system/lib as r/w through adb. Pull your stagefright lib files (as a backup) then overwrite with the working ones. Then reboot in adb. Worth a shot.

This is my modified cwm backup rom based on Chadw1985 Ice Flex Sandwich. This is based on 3.1 with blue keyboard. I made this to have good battery and good performance. It gets about 2x battery compared to ice flex. Deepsleep it used 1% in 1hr 45min. It runs both cores but trys to keep 2nd core offline unless you need it. Been running this last few days seems to work good. Plays games with no problems.
To Install:
Download the .zip, create a folder anywhere you want name it FlexBackup or something similar. Extract the contents of the .zip file to this folder. Then copy that folder to /external_sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/. Shutdown the phone and go into CWM recovery and format cache, data, and system. Then choose a advanced restore, restore system from the folder you placed on your sdcard. Do a factory data reset and reboot. If it works like it did on mine, the setup wizard will force close once and open again. It does not do it the second time it displays. Its because I deleted the stock home app. Runs without issue after this. - Written by Chadw1985

Hi, I've been trying to get this to load on my Flex.
I do get the MD5 error. ADB recognizes the phone fine but I cannot CD to the folder it wants. In fact I cannot CD to any folder. It's not there. And yes I do have an external SD card installed which is where your backup is located. All I get is an error that the system cannot find the path specified.
My Flex was rooted and worked fine until someone tried to take a new AT&T update and from then on only CWMR comes up (v5.8.0.2). I've tried mounting various things in the mount menu, nothing.
Any ideas please?

Ok, got the ADB thing to work. Per the other thread did cd /sdcard instead and it worked. Now I've done the advanced restore of system and when I factory reset after that all I get is back to clockwork recovery. Can't get the phone to go anywhere else.

Hi, I've been trying to get this to load on my Flex.
I do get the MD5 error. ADB recognizes the phone fine but I cannot CD to the folder it wants. In fact I cannot CD to any folder. It's not there. And yes I do have an external SD card installed which is where your backup is located. All I get is an error that the system cannot find the path specified.
My Flex was rooted and worked fine until someone tried to take a new AT&T update and from then on only CWMR comes up (v5.8.0.2). I've tried mounting various things in the mount menu, nothing.
Any ideas please?

Try not to factory reset after you restore. Try reinstalling cwm hope the partitions didn't get messed up during the update don't know why they would. I will be releasing a flashable cwm soon for the new version. Just cant get stock ics phone and contacts to work. Using exdialer nice app but going for a stock ics look and feel. Did you get any errors on restore? It's great news you still have adb access.

Sounds like it's put in the wrong folder. Need to figure out where you put the files. Load the sdcard in the computer and find which dir it's in or use commands through adb. Google adb commands. Commands: "cd" changes directory "ls" lists directory contents remember names MUST match meaning if it's "BeAns" uppercase and lowercase need to match "beans" wont work names need to be identical. Hope this helps. The files to restore need to be in the correct directory if you get cant find error it's in the wrong folder.
If the folder structure isn't there you need to create it /external_sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/. Place my folder in backup and you should be good.

No errors on restore. I even just copied the extracted .zip file to the SD card new just in case it was bad files or something. Had to to the MD5 fix again but that's understandable. I've formatted /system, tried with and without a factory reset at the end. All I get is the same, reboot just comes up to CWMR each time.

This is my modified cwm backup rom based on Chadw1985 Ice Flex Sandwich. This is based on 3.1 with blue keyboard. I made this to have good battery and good performance. It gets about 2x battery compared to ice flex. Deepsleep it used 1% in 1hr 45min. It runs both cores but trys to keep 2nd core offline unless you need it. Been running this last few days seems to work good. Plays games with no problems.
To Install:
Download the .zip, create a folder anywhere you want name it CFIR or something similar. Extract the contents of the .zip file to this folder. Then copy that folder to /external_sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/. Shutdown the phone and go into CWM recovery and format cache, data, and system. Then choose a advanced restore, restore system from the folder you placed on your sdcard. Do a factory data reset and reboot. If it works like it did on mine, the setup wizard will force close once and open again. It does not do it the second time it displays. Its because I deleted the stock home app. Runs without issue after this. - Written by Chadw1985
If you do happen to get a md5 sums mismatch,
here is fix provided by timmythanoob:
Make sure to have ADB Drivers installed on your CPU
Only Works If you have Android SDK or ADB installed correctly
Connect phone via USB
Open start menu in CPU
Type CMD in search box and hit enter
in Command Prompt window type Cd C:/Andoird-SDK-Windows/Platform_Tools/
then type:
adb shell
cd /external_sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(nameofbackup)
rm nandroid.md5
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Sounds like the boot.img file isn't correct or exist. You copying all the files in the zip? If you are try my new rom v2 see if that's any different. If that still don't work unzip my rom into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img with the one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083937 run the md5sum fix for it and load it up and try to restore that.

Still no go. Downloaded your new backup, ran MD5 fix, formatted /system, restored system. Reboot, only comes up to CWMR. Formatted /system again, restored system, factory reset. Same.
Replaced boot.img with one from link, did as above, same thing.
Have a feeling my Flex may be gone for good.
Maybe try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133857 Download cwm external flash that with cwm and try another restore? hopefully that might fix it.

Nothing, still a no go. Can get into Fastboot now. Found you hold middle of VOL up and down to do that. Does ray rooting is detected and kernel is tampered so it's reading something.
Tried to do recovery.img and boot.img inf fastboot. Says "Not support"
Is there any factory image that you know of? Something that would work in this PDL mode perhaps? I'd be happy as all get out if I could get this phone back to complete stock. Then after that I doubt I will ever again flash another phone. LOL

Well, some success. I got it to boot into your backup!!!! BUT... every time I reboot it will only come up into CWMR only. Select reboot system now and still the same. I can get it into normal boot if I hold Vol up and Down and power on, the phone comes up into this Pantech menu that says its tampered and such, if I choose the Reboot option there it boots normally! I can live with this but would love to solve this strange issue.
Any ideas?
Oh and thanks so much for your assistance! Meant to say that a while ago. So far what I have seen of your rom is good. I am going to get the phone set back up and probably inform the user that is using it how to boot it up if they need to reboot or power off the phone.
So far on your rom looks good.
Can't find the Google Search app. One I have in the app library is for 4.1+.
Contacts crashes a bit, maybe happening as I have no sim card installed yet
Make sure recovery.img the modified one for cwm in the cwm thread is in /system. Soumds like it might not be setting up the boot.img file when doing a recovery. I fixed the flash videos not playing right in browser but need to use firefox or dolphin. Web browser and chrome wont play video right. I will upload a cwm of my v3 rom i hope that it will flash properly for you. Many more updates in v3 including v6 supercharger. I will set it up and upload it later!

Might not be able to try v3 for a while. The person that has the phone now will be out of town tomorrow through Sunday.
Anyone got a good guide for building a flashable cwm rom. All i can find is for update zips. Thinking i need kitchen and that can do it?

Well the user that was using the Flex didn't like the way it worked, crashed in contacts too much, so he gave it back to me. He's now using a Burst I've had for a while. I didn't root or do anything to that phone since it is a spare.
Since I know the images work now I was able to restore the backup I made of the rooted stock image. I'll look into your rom some more in a little bit. For now I want to solve that weird issue with CWM coming up on every boot.
I just got an HTC One on AT&T and even though it looks like it can be rooted and such I don't think I'm going to. Also use a Droid DNA on Verizon. It's not rooted either.
I so used to love messing with custom roms and such. Did it a lot in the easier days when I used Samsung phones.
Fixed the boot up so now CWM does not come up every time the phone starts. Did some Fastboot flash commands for recovery and boot. Likely as you had thought I had the wrong one set up.
Update 4 sounds veeeeery good!!! downloading now ....
Nice work mike 10,000 points in antutubench very fast and smooth, have a very Quick boot when restart the phone, tested one day and no errors and no bugs v6 supercharger is awesome. Good work congratsssss!
