I decided to take matters into my own hands after failing to find a working DSPManager for our devices running on 4.3 TouchWiz, and after trial and error it is now fully working :victory:
What is DSPManager?
DSP Equalizer
Gives enhanced sound processing capabilities. A simple application called DSPManager is provided to adjust the new audio parameters such as bass boost, 6 band equalizer, virtual room effect for all system audio. (slightly edited from http://www.cyanogenmod.org/features/dsp-equalizer)
Below I have put together a guide to a working DSPManager for our device on 4.3 TouchWiz
What it includes:
A flashable zip containing the DSPManager.apk, along with updated libs needed to run for our device.
That's pretty much it, nothing special.
REQUIREMENT:
Not be running the stock Samsung 4.3 kernel. Otherwise you will get nothing but forcecloses from DSPManager.
Flash something like decimalman's 4.3 kernel in the development thread. You can also try DocHoliday77's insecure kernel or others but I only did testing with decimalman's kernel. If you use another kernel and DSPManager works for you please post it so others can know
Proceed ONLY after you are sure you are not running stock Samsung 4.3 kernel
What you need:
1) Root access.
2) Root browser.
3) Custom recovery to flash the zip.
What you need to do:
1) Download the zip in attachment and have it in either your internal or external memory card.
2) Navigate to /system with your preferred root browser and open the file build.prop
3) After opening the file, search for the following lines:
lpa.decode=true and lpa.use-stagefright=true
Edit this two lines to:
lpa.decode=false and lpa.use-stagefright=false
4) After doing so, saves changes and reboot your device into recovery mode.
5) Navigate to zip location and flash it.
6) Clear dalvik and cache and reboot your phone.
7) Enjoy!
Other devices confirmed working:
I9300 (S3 International)
SGH-M919 (S4 T-Mobile)
Note 3
Other notes:
You can also push each file to their respective locations in /system, set permissions, and reboot. It will work.
I also know there are other audio mods out there so please don't post replies saying that so and so mod is better or things like that.
I've tried other mods and I just happen to prefer DSPManager so I thought I would make it accessible to anyone else who would also want it
It might also work for other devices and rom bases but I only tested it with my SGH-T999 on 4.3 MJC, so that's why I put TouchWiz in the tile and file name.
If you use the compression option but it doesn't work for you in the included zip, try using the one found here (app is not system wide)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50322383 thanks to mikehorizon for mentioning
