Default AnEq equalizer causes skips on Tweaked PBJ-FP1

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 **
