[Q] Audio Enhancements with ICS & JB Roms - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sooo about those audio enhancements supposedly put into the apparently most popular kernel for the Evo Shift...
are they supposed to do ANYTHING WHATSOEVER?
heres the list of roms ive been through
XPERIAnceZen (currently using), JellyBelly, Motoblur'd, ShiftyBastard
Now XPERIAnce, JellyBelly and Motoblur'd use the same kernel, Strapped365's custom kernel, while ShiftyBastard has a different one (if I recall)
The roms sporting strapped's kernel boast audio enhancements built into the kernel, as does Shifty.
Motoblur'd claims to have XLoud, ClearAudio+ and Noozxoide. Nothing works. Noozy and Noozxoide both quit before they open. Even tried putting them in \system\app as suggested on its thread. DSP Manager does nothing.
Same problem with JellyBelly and XPERIAnce.
ShiftyBastard's Noozy and Noozxoide enhancements work amazingly! but the rom is god awful on performance and have had some issues with apps not opening, particularly games like Dead Space, Beat Hazard and Air Attack.
My question is how do i get the enhancements to cooperate if they are built into the first 3 roms or how do I get ShiftyBastard to play nicely with my apps?

Where does it state that the kernel is responsible for these?

i suppose it doesn't >_< i may be under misinformation that audio tweaks are set by the kernel. actually i may have misread the JellyBelly V6 notes
***Note: If you are wanting to use a third party music app please use another version, it probably won't work on v6. There are a lot of audio mods in v6.***

is it a build.prop tweak perhaps? i tried installing the Pimp My Beats audio mod and it mentions adding the mod to the build.prop. im no developer at all, though i have had quite a few ideas for overall performance and visual appeal. these may be of my own preference towards the og HTC Sense and Rosie tweaks in MicRunny roms. maybe i should read up more on development processes if i wish to join the club ^_^
anyway, is there anything that can be done with my situation? is this a recurring problem or are there actually no enhancements working?

any help and insights whatsoever? ive returned to my favorite Supreme Sense rom and might stick with it if there really isnt anything i can do. but i do love the ICS and JB roms available to us. as i cant physically ask in dev section just yet, im really hopeful somebody can point me in the right direction.
also if anyone would like to post what DOES exactly control the audio mods (libs and such or the like) please let me know. id like to do some poking

MotoBlur'd was untested by me (bad idea) I still need to fix it. I have gotten about three people that say the same thing as you (all phones are different)... There is a lot more to audio mods than just the build.prop lines.... Try flashing this on a 4.0+ AOSP ROM:http://db.tt/nPFqNEj0 If this doesn't work you probably have a hardware problem.
It depends on what audio mod you are talking about as to the files needed. But the link above is all the files needed for the audio mod on MotoBlur'd.
And as BigSplit said none of these are in the kernel... All in /system.

thanks ill give those files a go.
not really sure if its a hardware issue as im not having problems with the Supreme Sense DSP manager or the HTC Dolby/SRS/EQ. but like you said, each phone is different. either way ill report back later on this when i have a free minute. i work at a repair shop so i basically get to play with my phone and others all day ^_^ is there anywhere i can look around in the system folders to test a few tweak theories out?

That is a combination of three different audio mods, so those are the most common folders and files tweaked. Hope that helps.

Wait DSP Manager is in MotoBlur'd? Delete it! Crap that's why it doesn't work and why Noozy is FCing. Dang, I'm gonna try and fix that ROM tomorrow... I really screwed up on that ROM, my fault for releasing without testing.:banghead:

HA! looks like im helpin the community already ^_^ lol jk. yw for the find tho bilgerryan

so because im a glutton for my own failings im about to flash a slightly modded version of your Motoblur'd to one of my own shifts. basically i removed dsp manager and libcyanogen-dsp.so, moved noozy and the motoblurd theme apk and edited the audio_effects.conf file. ill post back my results for ya

fyi noozy and noozxoide still dont open

while it didnt hurt anything, nothing gained either. if you want someone to test out the fix, assuming you find it, count me first in line. your rom is awesome and super smooth regardless if the audio tweaks work or not
one more thing...i noticed the Sony Xloud references also applied in your rom, though there doesnt appear to be an option for it in the music effects section. any chance there may be an issue there somewhere as well?

The lib is still needed, the DSP Manager app is all that needs removed

Bro just flash awesome beats, clear audio+, and bravia 2. I've done it on countless ROMs and a few devices including my shift, original evo, HP Touchpad, Nexus 7, and mums Acer Iconia a100.
It always adds to the sound and makes the equalizer work.

which is exactly why i personally think the effort is more than worth it! think of the possibilities! with a bit more development in the roms you can allow people to use a preferred music app, install different tweaks and apps while negating others from being installed all together. customization, isnt that what custom roms are all about?

Well from your other thread it sounds like your audio enhancement problem may be hardware related.

not sure if it is. ill have to pop one of the boards from my other Shifts and verify.
Now which option do I use in Aroma to flash Awesome Beats to newSense? i tried Stock base but it didnt display the icon for Awesome Beats in my App Drawer.

G2X Rom Comparison Chart

I have started a comparison chart for the currently available ROM's for the G2X. Since we are just getting started with this device it seems like a great time.
I have made the spreadsheet editable by anyone, I encourage and would appreciate any help with keeping it current. I also do not mind any improvements you see fit, such as adding or changing columns, conditional formatting etc. I just put this together in the time I had available today and it is a rough draft. I know some of you here have much more experience in using Google docs and making something like this so do your thing! I'd like this to be a community project.
PLEASE do not intentionally falsify any information or in any way harm the integrity of this project, we all benefit from this site and there is nothing funny about ruining this for others. Also, I will make a nightly backup.
I can't seem to embed this into the post so here is a link.

Bionix has kernel .1.1 according to its changelog?
It seems you are trying to make a point or something with the voodoo lagfix?
If none of the phones have it, why would there be a column then?? The column would only be necessary if one of the roms had it. Why put it in there?
We will never have a lag-fix as we already have a great file system (ext3 and ext4) only reason that would be needed is for Samsungs ****ty rfs file system. Might as well remove it from the chart
Good comparison chart though. ^^
Edit: Oh and mine does have spare parts, boot and shutdown animation changed as well

You know what, I actually re-flashed my old vibrant for the wife to use the same day I flashed my first ROM onto this phone so I remembered hearing the lagfix lady while I was flashing a ROM on here and so I thought.. well, maybe it was a little late when I put this together. Column removed.
Once again, if there is something silly like this that you guys see please feel free to make the change, I'm not claiming ownership of this spreadsheet.

Hi tweezit! Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am running your ROM now and its sexy Updated your info.
Removed the lagfix column, I guess it had just become a permanent part of my psyche.
Should I replace with a file system column (ext3 or ext4)? Or is that not important?
Also, is it safe to assume everyone is running the same base band at the moment?
Good topic
My ROM info is lacking
Stock launcher2
Included: T-mobile Theme Manager/Chooser, SpareParts, FileManager, Torch, DSP Manager, ROM Manager and WiFi Calling.
Kernel is 2.6.32.41 with latest patches, updates, OC/UV etc etc
Anyways, hope this will make the ROM less of a mystery

Thanks for the info faux! I promise its nothing personal that yours was lacking. I actually think your ROM is brilliant, and your a bit of a genius![/suckup] I'm just sticking to froyo for now.
I really appreciate you guys (devs) posting in here. I've been working long days I just wanted to get this out there even as a really rough draft so it didn't just become a bigger and bigger task I don't get around to. I
Added Gigglebread and File System column.
Thanks to everyone who has edited with more info!
This is going to sound petty, but can we add a column for HD recording support? I know the leaked build doesn't support it (that's why I went back to stock), do any of the custom ROMs support it yet that are not Froyo-based? I presume all froyo ROMs would support HD recording with the LG camera apk.

Cyanogen Music APK

Ill just leave this here and let everyone pick it apart. From what i have read on the site it looks pretty damn good.
http://www.seeingpixels.org/2012/01/cyanogenmod-9-music_16.html?m=1
attempting to install now.
Just tried to install it via Astro, and it wouldn't even let me select install, the option wasnt there. Hmmm, that's annoying it looks very nice. A possible rival to Ubermusic.
Says that it will only run in ICS. i got it installed however the API's of google's dont exist. So it cant be "sync'd" with google music. I dont have any music on my phone so i cant really test it but its running and looks nice.
Screenshots and alternate download link:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/1...:+DroidLife+(droid+life)&utm_content=FaceBook
Looks really nice and matches shnizlon's AOSP theme very well. I'm still sticking with HTC's music app for now but this seems ideal for those who use an alternative home launcher....Widgets are very nice!

which is the best light, fast and smoothest rom available for htc chacha. stability and battery concerned.
I hate to blow my own trumpet but I'd recommend this one

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the ROM
Just a couple of questions, so I hope you see this because I haven't posted ten times yet...
#1 no American or Canadian English setting (on initial setup, and under language settings)
#2 where's the Beats Audio?
Still love it, though. Noticeable difference in speed without background apps, and much better internal storage. Also, mildly improved battery life.

It's based on the stock EU ROM, so no, there's no American or Canadian English. I could add them but it'd add to the size of the system or no real reason. I'm sure you can live with the Queen's English
The Beats Audio doesn't show up anywhere in the UI, it just works its magic in the background. I even notice a difference when I use it with my cheap £20 eBay headphones so I know it's working
If you've seen other ROMs with the Beats Audio showing up as a setting on the UI, that's probably because they have the Music app from ROMs of newer phones. I might see if I can get that ported to my ROM now, come to think of it. Thanks for that idea
P.S. to further improve battery life, go to your sound settings and turn off all the sensor based stuff if you haven't already, that makes quite a difference!
Hmmm...haven't noticed a difference with my 20 buck Panasonics, or in my car, though that's with an FM transmitter (a good one, though).
I guess I'll live with the Queen's English, though the patriotic side of me cringes, eh?...
Weird, maybe it depends on the music you listen to. Stuff with heavy bass sounds better at least
God save our gracious Queeeeen
I just tried to stick the /system/apps folder from a Sensation XE onto my ChaCha... The ChaCha didn't like it too much. I'll experiment more later, see what I can get working. Looking around the XE ROM, there's certainly stuff here which shows whether or not Beats is working in the actual UI, so I might add some of that in if it plays nice with the ChaCha.

Glad to hear that. Ur ROM was my 1st ROM i installed after Root this device.
Original ROM is good for user who have less experience in Android or someone love Sense UI of HTC. CM7 is only good for Tech guys.
Stock ROM feel on CM7?
I have been using Chacha for almost half year now, and I like it to core. Have tried almost all ROMs so far. CWM's backup/restore functionality is pure bliss. At times when your hands are itchy, go ahead, mess up your system, do all your experiments. When done, just restore and you are back to your normal mood! Excellent!!
About the ROMs, I try them a lot, but finally do settle down to ROMs based on stock, as my daily ROMS. These are ROMS which I try my own with some experimental versions, or ones available here like from Hexgore . The reason is, there are quite a bunch of apps on Stock ROMS which are perfectly tuned for Chacha's small screen, and hence I find them more efficient than other alternative apps. Here are apps I find too good and difficult to part from.
Mail App
Dialer App
Messages App
I agree that there would be a lot better apps (like K9 for mail). But the easy of bigger icons, easy to tap organization of icons, just make be feel to stay with this mail app.
Now, coming to point, Will it be possible to get these apps work in non-Stock environment. Similar to Gapps package, if we can get to package these apps, it will be great.
I myself, will try these experiments one by one, and report my observations. But just would like to know if there are any like-minded people like me. Please comment. Thanks.

[ROM][MIUI]05-07-2012 LaxiMIUI 1ST EDITION W/ Beats Audio!

This is my 2nd port and I'm still a newbie so please guide me along if I made any mistakes.
This time I've made a totally new MIUI 2.3.7 ROM which has beats audio implemented with Poweramp Music Player, at the same time battery efficient and smooth
Screenshots will be up later.
This ROM is fully tweaked to the max and it also includes Sony's Bravia Engine, XLoud Engine, And Motorola's Crystal Talk (may contain bugs).
So.. Hope You Enjoy This ROM and give a Thanks and Review This ROM!
FYI: Some part of the system has chinese words like the 4 in 1 reboot and status bar(just do a normal reboot and it will be fine). So if anyone knows how to edit it mind letting me know? Thanks

EDIT: Really sorry for the super late post for the download link. I had to sleep and now uploading and have to rush to school And after I upload if anyone who is an expert on modifying Aroma Installer mind leaving me a pm? thanks
If mediafire doesn't work for you ( for some weird reason which is impossible ), I'll create a mirror when I'm back from school. TEST IT OUT NOW!

It has ICS inside but I couldn't get it to work. Maybe later you can try it out and maybe tell me where is the problem located?
Easiest way would be to just start off with working ICS ROM and modify it to your liking.

And 2nd thing, I couldn't get the beats audio mod to work on ICS for some weird reason.

I agree about the camera. It's very important to me.

I thought the Xloud engine was a big nono for our speakers, possibly damaging them. Was that issue ever fixed?

if u port Existz latest base to miui, im sure 480p will work since he got 480p to work.
Yes Xloud is said to be damaging the speakers. In case of Camera I think it does work, 480p should work. You could just take an AOSP ROM and apply MIUI interface.
Until we have official ics I know I at least would prefer gb miui. I've tried blind's and dekky's ics miui and not fully working. Will test when uploaded

Curious to find out more on this rom...
Might give this few days..... MIUI is the only thing thats of interest to me until full Sense 4.0 Roms are released.

If I would have to choose I'd rather get a 720p picture which is clearer and better in quality.

Don't Worry. The Aroma Installer allows you to choose if you want to add in the mod or not. So you can ignore the XLoud Engine If you want.

I'm trying to make this ROM able to have GB and ICS at the same ROM so that people can get to choose to pick what they want but couldn't get it working. So maybe after I upload mind helping me through?
Just tested ... great rom but it is not fully translated... a lot of chinese... but really smooth
with translation you might look into BART, an app that helps translating any rom to any language.http://www.xda-developers.com/android/b-a-r-t-helps-you-translate-android-roms-the-easy-way/
In case of giving people the choice I think it would rather be proof of concept than any use. When you are looking for a ROM you know whether you want GB or ICS. What you are proposing is great as a concept, I admire your creativity and ambition, but in reality you will be forced to download two ROM packages at once regardless to whether you want it or not.
For BEATS try using ...Awesome...'s package, it's AwesomeBEATS, you can find it in DHD Development Forum. I tried it on ICS and it worked.

I wanted to have GB and ICS selection in one rom because for me sometimes I find that ICS starts to becomes uncomfortable for me (not for IceColdSandwich which I always uses its test roms and works great) and also some apps always have problems on ICS.
So I want to allow the user to be able to just choose what they want and if they feel like ICS is not what they want(as it cannot fully theme) they could just go to recovery, flash this ROM again and just choose GB. And normally 2 MIUI ROM would just take up around 200-300MB, which is around the same as any Sense ROM.
However, thanks for the B.A.R.T link. Downloading now and will get most of it translated
need screenshots?
Give me a few minutes trying to translate the whole ROM as well as deodex-ing the rom

Skyrocket As a Music/Media Player

HI all. A couple of months ago I moved from my skyrocket to an S4.
I am now looking to use my skyrocket solely as a media device - primarily an mp3 player. I plan on removing most of my apps and just downloading something like PowerAmp and then synching my mp3 files to the internal memory.
As such, I am interested in a ROM that is very stable and that may have been optimized for music playback capabilities (for example, I know certain ROMs build in different DSPs, music controls, whatever).
Based on this can anyone please recommend a couple of ROMs that would best suit this purpose for me to go check out? Thanks.
I'm not gonna recommend a specific rom, but I would suggest if using it solely for music to use something compatible with this mod. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878945. It greatly improves audio. Anything pretty 4.3 should work but read the op.

Thanks. This is exactly the kind of guidance I am looking for.
I know certain ROMs have some audio mods built in...does anyone know of ROMs that have this, or a similar audio mod, already included?
Look through the dev section and pick out something you think you'd like. Audio mods are easy to install, just make sure you follow the directions. The only rom I can remember with a pre-installed audio mod was blinky's revenge, but that's kind of old now and the dev has moved on. Good luck!
I actually have thought about creating a ROM just for that. Remove all phone, messaging stuff and basically make it a media player. Maintain wifi and BT. Add some audio enhancements and so on. Not sure how much interest there would be in that though. I would use it seeing as I do not use my skyrocket as a phone any more.
If I were to give this a go who would all be interested in it??

That's all I used my old SGS 4G for after I got the Rocket. Basically just put it in airplane mode and I could play tunes for over 24 hours on a single charge. It just decided to turn into a paper weight a few weeks ago. I've been using the Rocket for my music needs since then. Seeing as how I am getting another phone soonish I'll keep the Rocket strictly for music. So I would use something like that for sure. Keeping bluetooth and wifi would be great since I can stream to my sound bar with BT. Hell my phone could become my personal home juke box.

I would try it out just for fun even though I am still using my Skyrocket. However I am due for another phone soon.
If I remember I'll try and spin a 'phoneless' build tonight and see if it works.
I've done something like this with an old HTC Evo a buddy had it works well but i don't know where in the source all of the phone bits are to remove so that it can be completely clean. i think this would be a good project given the age of the phone itself.

Go for it... I had started on this. I had a booting build with basically no apps and phone capability and the I ran into a systemui fc. Still trying to figure that out and then I stumbled across omnirom, which I have been working on since.

Yes for the skyrocket. It is proving to be more difficult than I thought. It is more AOSP which is not setup for our device at all.
Spending more time on this media player today though.
You can keep up on the progress here: https://bitbucket.org/toyes/manifest
Any suggestions and ideas would be welcome. (Which players, audio mods... etc.)
jetAudi basic has been my go to player for a few years now. It has ten band EQ, sound effects and a preamp already on board. It however doesn't play nicely with King Beatz so just a heads up on that. If your ripping most of the stuff out of system that should leave a lot of room for multiple players. Then people could just choose whichever one they like best and set it as default.

I'm thinking that. Either that or different Zips for different players/mods.. or figure out how to use the aroma installer..
