[APP] DSPManager - Improve Audio

So XDA comminty is always helpful and now it's my turn to try and give something back.



Dr.Dre feat DSPManager

first thing to do is download DSPmanager (attached to this post).

Install

Stock / non rooted phones

download and install DSPManager2.apk

Just installing the .apk seems to be causing a force close when editing the EQ for some people so stick to presets and all should be well.

CWM

download DSPManager-v3.zip put on to your SD and flash.

This also installs /system/lib/soundfx/ files from cm9 ROM for HTC one x - thanks to TripnRaver and also adds system/etc/audio_effects taken from DPS v1 fix for ICS

IF you do not wish to see a tutorial/ how I set dps up on my phone skip the rest of this post.

once installed open it up

first on the list is to move over to the headset tab, swipe left to right.

first option we need to set is Bass Boost



i set mine to Moderate as my headphones can't take extreme but set this to either Moderate/Extreme

next is to set the equalizer.



For this i picked Rock, reason being, as you can see it that it boosts the bass leaves the mids in the middle and brings out the highs so even when your eyes turn to water from the bass you can still hear that hi-hat ting and fizz

if you really feel the above two just don't make your brain turn to mush enough then you can set the "Loudness compensation" when using this setting change the EQ to treble boost and then use the Bass Boost to add back in the low end.

Hope this is at least a bit helpful to you guys remember this is just my settings play about with the options till you get the sound thats right for you.



Change Log

Disclaimer

I'm not going to take any responsibility if you bust your ear drums/headphones/ windows/other household items. Although making the cat jump from the bass cannon is totally my fault..

i didn't make this app it is part of the CyanogenMod

If you want to improve it even more, take a CM9 ROM and rip the 6 files in "system/soundfx" and push them to your One X.
I think this messes up Beats a little bit, but it makes the EQ much more effective
I moved the "libcyanogen-dsp.so" too, no idea if it actually does anything on a none-CM ROM, but it can't hurt I guess

(There was also some other files I messed with, but I can't remember which they were. I think I may have ripped the "system/etc/audio_effects.conf" from CM9 too)

I'll have a zip i got from testing the ICS version it didn't work but it left system/lib/soundfx/libcyanogen-dsp.so, it works without or without this file as far as i can tell :S

Don't wanna hijack this thread, but why can't I install downloaded apks like this one when low (27%) on battery? Unknown sources are enabled of course, but nothing happens when I hit install in the dialogue...

Just flashed V2 in CWM and still force close on custom EQ, everything else works though

1.28.401.9 Bindroid.

Click to collapse

Then I'm not sure I don't have any force closes on mine :/ try clearing the data and fixing permissions.

Edit: been looking around Xda looks like this version of dps is a bit hit and miss some people get fc some don't, the old version doesn't fc but also doesn't have any effect on music. I will keep an eye out for if it gets fixed.

Until then I'm afraid manually adjusting eq is a no no

Bass boost increases bass but dulls treble etc alot. I enable compression extreme, rock equilizer and studio for room enhancements, sounds crazy on my beats studio with the beats audio+dsp thanks for linking dsp2 i installed dsp1 that worked but this works 3-5times better quality to me

Yeh bass does mess up treble sometimes I was playing music through my turtle beach x41 and I had to turn bass boost off as it was cutting out the music with every kick of the bass lol.
