Ok! everything fully completed. All major bugs fixed (a few minor ones remain, but i'll fix those in the next update.)
Just getting a few people to beta test the app (if you feel you should be testing it, contact me and i'll send you the apk :p) then it should be on the Market later!! :D

Hey Meltus, remember me?:D I'm the one guy who couldn't get this to work at all no matter what.

I just tried the new version and now it magically is working! I don't get it. Even the old version files work. I'm on my 4th ROM now and it finally works. I'm not gonna bother trying to figure out what fixed my problem, cause apparently I'm the only on who was experiencing it. I'm now on one the latest cyanogen builds (4.2.1) now which iirc was supposed to have this built in, and it still didn't work in that case.

I'm half tempted to go try one of the old versions of your app, but I'm not gonna mess with it since it's finally working.

Thought you might be happy to hear you have another satisfied customer who will no longer be badgering you. Thanks :)

Sorry, i missed your PM this morning. i was asleep lol.
I'm guessing you already have a copy of my app? if not PM me.

Cheers for all the feedback guys, glad you like it :D
And adding animation is on the list of updates! I'm also planning on having the whole thing slide down from the top eventually. But unfortunately, my java seriously sucks, so it may be while till that's done.
Also I'm aware of the landscape problem, which should be a easy fix, just not got round to doing it yet :p

Haha thats odd. Glad it's working for you though!
I spent ages trying to figure out why it wasn't working, especially after you changed ROMs too :p
Ah well, glad it's working ok now :D

"Package file was not signed correctly"

Hi Danny, I've been away from your app for a while because I could not figure out how to make it work for stereo bluetooth headsets, and when we PM'ed a while back we concluded that it probably doesn't or didn't have any effect on them. A PM buddy recently told me that this version may actually do it. However, I am getting the above message when trying to purchase the app. Do you know if this is a Google checkout thing or an error on your side? BTW, I'm trying to install it on the MyTouch, if that matters.

I've heard that a few people have had a bluetooth volume boost with my headset boost but I can't confirm this.
And the signing problem does sound like an issue from my end, but I'm not sure how it could be, as my market app works fine for everyone else. It is also working on the MyTouch but can be a little tempremental. Apparently.
I'll have a look into the signing issue and if neccessary, I can always e-mail you the apk and see if that works.

@sedrick: if you want it in an .apk format you can always buy my app :D

I grabbed the trial and pushed v2r2 it doesn't seem to be louder for me, or my friend.

Does the latest Cyanogenmod already have this? :)

Thanks anyway.

possibly, i know it did include it but i'm not sure anymore. Also the trial hasn't been updated to use the revised files so it'll use the original v2. try pushing the Stock files to hear the difference.

In what way doesn't it work? i've had no complaints so far about this so i imagine this is an isolated problem.
What happens?

@emugpp - I have no idea lol.
Due to it not being a HTC phone it may use different audiofiles, but i'm not sure. The only way to check is to try it out i guess.
As i don't own a galaxy i'm not prepared to create a working version for it btw :p

    HEADSET EQUALIZER!!! - HOLY CRAP!!!

    [Latest release in Blue]

    VERSION INFO

    Headset + Bluetooth Volume Hack
    This file should also have a lower ringing and message tone when listening to music through the headset. If someone could test and confirm this It would be much appreciated!
    As it stands the headset boost overwrites the bluetooth boost, so as a quick workaround i made this file which combines the 2!!! enjoy! (attached to this post)


    BT Volume Hack v1
    (Many thanks to innerspace for testing)
    Finally, it's working without any problems! Those who may remember my earlier attempts to get this going will remember how hopelessly bad it turned out to be, but now, it's working!!
    Here is some test info:

    Audio is significantly louder overall via A2DP, levels over headset seemed louder as well (though admittedly its a bit harder to discern over a mono headset). The party on the other end of the call said I sounded fine, voice was clear.

    There will be some updates on this soon.

    I hope some of you find this useful :) - http://meltus.androidftw.com/?page_id=2


    NEXUS ONE FILES
    This is just the basic un-modified AudioPara4.csv that was released with the Nexus One Source. Yes, this has probably been downloaded by plenty of you but i thought i'd upload just the audio files for the people who haven't.
    There is another file i included, AudioBTID.csv, which i think controls bluetooth. Don't expect this to do anything however, unless you have a Nexus One :p
    Also, don't expect this file to sound any different as it's not modified and i haven't had chance to look through it properly. But, there are definitely differences, so it's doing something differently.
    I'll keep you all posted :)


    V1
    This is the very first version i made. This one differs from the other builds because it was before i realised there was an EQ setting. The sound quality of this build is average, just as good as the stock sound quality, and is slightly louder. Perfect for those who want a slight increase of sound with no compromise to audio quality.

    V2 - *Most Popular*
    In this version i included the AudioFilter file. The AudioFilter.csv controls the EQ and Compression settings, which is disabled by default (on the stock and V1 files). Increasing the Gain for each frequency band boosts the overall volume, but also causes distortion. Quite a loud version but also pretty distorted.

    V3
    using the same method as V2 but with a much higher gain setting. the result is a very loud overall volume but also a very distorted overall sound. For those who prefere volume over quality.

    V4
    the complete opposite of V3. This is a pretty quiet build but, by using the new Hero audio files which have a new EQ enabled, it has a much better 'sound quality'. for those of you who enjoy your music for the clarity and not the volume.

    V5
    Based on V3. The sound quality is slightly better in both the external speaker and headphones but the headphone volume is much, much louder. It is NOT recomended to have it set to full volume when listening to music through the headphones.

    V5_r2 - *ALSO CALLED HEADSET BOOST IN MY APP*
    As V5 was only an update for V3, i thought i'd make an update that works for all versions. Again, this increases the wired headset volume, but increases it by different amounts, depending on what version is being used. e.g. it will be louder on V3 than on V2. it will be louder on V2 than V1 etc.

    V6 - *Loudest*
    This is an 'update', much like V5. Use either v1, 2 or 3 and THEN push V6. or, pull the AudioPara4.csv from any of these versions and push all 3 files. This CAN be used with stock settings but it wont be as good!
    Thanks to GoldenarmZ's new banding frequencies i managed to get the sound much 'bassier' and after finally figuring out the new 'Hero EQ' i've managed to get the sound much clearer. the result through the headphones is a nice mix of both, suitable for almost all types of music.
    You must push both files included.


    This version is still in the beta stages and pretty experimental. If you choose to use it you do so at your own risk

    GENERATION 7 (2nd Revisions) - *Latest* - *BEST QUALITY*
    Ok, here are my V7 Generation files. The zip contains v1r2, v2r2 (v7), v3r2 and v6r2. i've tried to improve them as much as possible, you may like them, you may not.

    - V1 revision 2
    Due to it not being distorted at all anyway, i added the compressor and made it slightly louder. not a lot has been changed here.
    - V2 revision 2
    Completely distortion-less! The most popular version due to it's loud volume and good sound quality. Now being used pre-built into many custom ROMs.
    - V3 revision 2
    Not sure about this one. Still very distorted (due to it's volume) and it's now slightly quieter than the original v3. Some of you may like this version, some of you may hate it.
    - V6 revision 2
    Managed to retain the bass whilst removing some of the distortion. I also lowered the volume slightly.
    TIP!!! - Have the volume set 3 below maximum to get the best sound out of this version. At this level it sounds pretty good.

    New Headset Boost (with Sapphire fix thanks to crypticc)
    Only contains an AudioPara4.csv. The quality isn't great, because on full volume, it is VERY loud indeed. This is just a trail run and it's most probably not too stable.
    This is achieved in a much more simple way than my last headset boost which used some weird bug in the files which failed to work half the time, whereas this one has the correct values changed, thanks to the new 'labeled' AudioPara.csv
    WARNING: Not 100% Stable. Use At Your Own Risk!!!



    You must push ALL files included.


    For best sound possible use mp3 files that have a 320kb bit rate or higher. Or, better still, don't use mp3's.



    MANUAL UPDATE
    WARNING: This will NOT work if you don't have ADB set up on your computer. For a guide to setting up ADB check the official google android site.

    METHOD 1
    Download your prefered build (see above for info), and extract the files to anywhere. For the sake of the tutorial, extract it to 'Desktop'. Next open up your cmd and get adb started:
    Code:
    [COLOR=lime]adb remount[/COLOR] ([COLOR="Red"]sudo adb remount[/COLOR] for linux users)
    - wait for the 'remount succeeded' message
    [COLOR=#00ff00]adb push Desktop/AudioFilter.csv system/etc[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#00ff00]adb push Desktop/AudioPara4.csv system/etc[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]adb push Desktop/AudioPreProcess.csv system/etc[/COLOR] - If Version requires it
    [COLOR=seagreen]adb push Desktop/AudioPara4_TMUS.csv system/etc[/COLOR] - Optional
    if the version you are using doesn't contain a TMUS file, just leave it out. it isn't vital.
    once that has all worked correctly it is just a matter of:
    Code:
    [COLOR=deepskyblue]adb shell[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=deepskyblue]reboot[/COLOR]
    and you're done! your new volume settings should take effect when the phone boots up.

    METHOD 2
    WARNING: This version does not need ADB, but it does need a signing tool and a good understanding of the update.zip flashing method.

    first of all, find the custom ROM you wish to use (if you choose the one you are currently using you will not have to wipe) and open it with WinRar, 7zip or something similar.
    Navigate to 'system/etc' and delete the AudioPara4.csv, AudioFilter.csv and, if the build includes it, the AudioPara4_TMUS.csv and AudioPreProcess.csv.

    ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DELETING.

    Once they have been deleted it's just a case of dragging the new files from your preferred version into the folder. Once that has been done, you will need to re-sign the update.zip (very important you do this, otherwise the flashing wont work) and place it on your sdcard.
    Next, reboot your phone holding the home button, and pres alt+s.
    once your phone has flashed and rebooted, your audio settings will take effect!

    METHOD 3

    Thanks to LucidREM

    This is all done from the terminal emulator on your phone -

    Code:
    $su
    #mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
    #mkdir /sdcard/AudioBackUp
    #cd /system/etc/
    #busybox cp /AudioFilter.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
    #busybox cp /AudioPara_TMUS.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
    #busybox cp /AudioPara4.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
    #busybox cp /AudioPreProcess.csv /sdcard/AudioBackUp
    
    #mkdir /sdcard/tmp
    #cd /sdcard/tmp
    #wget http://98.131.134.176/system/etc/v7/AudioFilter.csv
    #wget http://98.131.134.176/system/etc/v7/AudioPara4.csv
    #wget http://98.131.134.176/system/etc/v7/AudioPreProcess.csv
    
    #busybox cp *.csv /system/etc
    
    [COLOR="Red"]'v7' CAN BE REPLACED WITH ANY OTHER VERSION.[/COLOR]
    METHOD 4

    Thanks to everyone who helped make and test this!!!
