In several places in the forums I see DSP manager mentioned as a way to change the sound output from the phone.
It is possible to use the .apk file or flash the .zip file to a stock firmware that is rooted (no other changes), or does it have to be applied to a custom rom?
Ta.
Here you go...

Flash as you would a ROM
Hmm, I flashed it and the settings appeared, but they seem to make no difference to the sound output!
Trying via headphones? As I doubt you'd notice from the internal speaker
Other than that I can't help, have no issues personally
Yep, trying via headphones. Seems to make no difference at all. I am running a stock rooted HTC Rom.
Hi, I flashed the DSP from recovery and rebooted. Installation was successful but I can't find the app anywhere in my phone? where do I see it?

For anyone else having this problem:
I didn't find the app I installed so I searched the net for other installation files, and found this:
h ttp://androidforums.com/1446319-post107.html
after I flashed this and rebooted, I got a 'force close' notification for the app. Than I went to /system/app/DSPManager.apk and installed it.
DSP Manager now working great ^^
I did as u said but it gives me a force close and when i try to install it i cant cause its already installed, cant uninstall it either, what should i do ? BTW I'm using AuraxTSense v7.4
did you install the one in the second post as well?
I'm using AuraxTSense 7.0
Yes, first I installed that one, it didn't work, then I installed the other. Is that the problem ? I thought so... so how should I fix it ?
good question..I'm not sure.. try installing the first again
Ok I did it, it removed the app from the app list. What now ? If I try installing it from /system/app it gives an error.
I don't know.. i just rebooted my device and it gave me the force close again. so I did what I did the previous time and ran that app from the location I wrote.. worked like a charm.. again..

I installed the other zip again, gave me a force close so went to system/app and tried to install it but I can't, only have the options uninstall and launch... No idea why is it working for you and not for me...
EDIT: Ok it works now, had to remove first the odex file and install the other zip again
Update DSP Manager
You can remove the DSPManager.apk file using the terminal emulator.
NOTE: You need to have a rooted phone, Superuser & Terminal emulator.
STEPS
1. Change to root user it is granted super-user permissions.
su -2. Then change to the system app directory.
cd /system/app3. Then move the DSPManager.apk to the tmp directory.
mv DSPManager.apk /tmp4. Move the new apk file to the system app directory.
NOTE: Change to the directory where the DSPManager_1.0.apk is.
cp DSPManager_1.0.apk /system/app5. Reboot the phone.
6. Check in the apps list and the new DSP Manager should be in there.
NOTE: If it all worked you can remove the DSPManager.apk from /tmp
rm /tmp/DSPManager.apk
Attached is the version I use on my rooted HTC Desire.
In order to work, DSP Manager also needs a file called libaudioflinger.so in the /system/lib directory in addition to the apk.
The easy way to get this done is to use an update zip for DSP Manager. Get it from one of these links (all links from this page):

I don't think you can install the zip from Astro Explorer because it needs to copy files to the /system partition which is read-only when the phone is booted up. In other words, you must have a rooted phone to do this.
If you do have a rooted phone, then reboot into recovery mode and install the update.zip the usual way.
If you don't have a rooted phone, well that's a whole different story.
i , please help me.
I've installed it via recovery and I made backup with my original needly files: libaudioflinger and libaudio. Then i copied my files back (deleted new files and moved old files) . I restarted my phone and it didn't boot. Just show me the White window (T-mobile)... Can i repair my phone by myself? Please help me and sorry for my english.

I'm sorry I don't really understand the problem. Normally, installing the update.zip should be all that you need to do. I don't understand why you copied the old files back and were those two files the only files that you backed up?
Question:
I have used AAHK to downgrade my DHD and root it, but apparently I don't have write access on the system partition. I have succesfully installed AOSPX BR6 and 7 and am now running Nik 's Project X. Tried installing AdAway last night, but when it attempts to change the 'hosts' file (/system/etc/hosts), it fails. I have granted permissions with Superuser when asked for it and I can see it attempt twice before it fails on 'applying hosts file' ('copying of hosts file failed!').
When I try and create a folder or file in the root using ES Explorer, it also fails ('sorry, operartion failed').
HBOOT states 'S-OFF RL'.
What am I doing wrong?
Thx

Adaway seems to act funny with ICS roms sometimes it works other times it wont. Try wiping data on it in menu>manage apps. If that dont help try Adfree from the play store.
That rom has a r/w problem. Have you done the fix to solve it? It's stated in the OP. Use the backup fix. After that, when trying to update it may fail the firsr time, run it again.
Sent from a dream.
Wiping cache did not work. Adfree seems to work fine but doesn't block all ads.
I will look for the fix tomorrow and give it a go.
Thx
Found it, it was in the second OP under patches & mods, must 've missed it. Thx for pointing me in the right direction. Will try tomorrow.
Pfff ... can't even quote another post without 10 post of my own (and I hate image verification ... so hard to decipher).
Flashing busybox zip didn't work, but the backup/restore of the ROM did fix it. SU is updated now and AdAway works perfectly, seems to block all ads.
Thx again.
This being my first post a HI EVERYBODY is in order.
On with the show.
So, I managed to unlock my bootloader via htcdev website, i slapped on the cwm recovery and managed to put a custom rom on my cell.
The rom in question is the jellyking, works fine, everything is great.
PROBLEM:
although ive tried several cm10 roms i liked jellyking the most but on all of them i had troubles getting root.
what happens is that i download es file manager, set it to give me root and mount system as RW, popup says that the preinstalled (with rom) superuser app granted those rights and that everything should be superb, but I couldnt copy files from my sd to lets say /system/media (wanted to change my bootanim) it says file copy failed, only once i did manage to copy a file but i dont know how.
The question:
when i put a custom rom, do i need to reapply the famous root.zip or maybe install busybox as my first app or maybe flash over the existing superuser app the superSU app which seems to update the root binaries sucessfully.
BOTTOM LINE:
What is the exact (if any) procedure that I need to follow to get perm root access (copy rights) to my own phone, each and every reboot.
Thanks in advance for all Your insights,
Humbly,

Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks so much for the info on this community. I've followed loads of the threads and almost all of what I need to know is here.
I have a KF2 @ v10.3.1. I've rooted it and applied the 2nd bootloader using a homemade lead (thanks to the thread on that!). I started in Windows but switched to Kubuntu after getting driver issues etc.. To compound the problem, the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, which didn't help as I couldn't load apps whist it was stock. (It's not stolen or otherwise illegally obtained. Amazon sent it in error, and despite me contacting them to ask how to return it, they've never replied)
Anyhow, After following THIS thread, which appeared to go OK, after rebooting I'm unable to boot into Recovery. The blue screen just stays there. I can still boot normally, but I would like to load CM10 which is loaded as per the thread, along with gapps, both in zip format. I have read many threads about being stuck on the blue screen, but these are always locked and need to be restored, but I have no problem booting normally and the KF2 is not locked. I've searched this site and googled plenty.
I don't expect an exact answer, but if someone could just point me at what to look at, I'm sure I can find the rest of the info I need on here. :good:
Oh, also. Another quick question. I see that the CM10 images are constantly being updated, if (when I get mine working) I want to use one of these, is it simply a case of copying the zip file over? Or is there more to do than that.
Many thanks in advance.
You can boot normally? Into stock, I assume.
Run the apk tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463
Should get you fixed right up
The zip file will have to be flashed from recovery. So, its a matter of copying the zip file (and gapps) over. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. Then flash rom first, the gapps.
Also, be VERY CAREFUL and make sure you have a GOOD DOWNLOAD by checking the md5 on the file. If you wipe the system (which deletes the stack file) you will not be able to boot into recovery or anything.
I still recommend that you purchase a fastboot cable.
Edit: also, when booting into recovery you might have to hit the power button a couple of times.

Cheers mindmajick. I've tried to do this but still having a few problems.
If I use the wired version, the runme.bat does not have permissions to the data/app folder. I can't seem to run it in Kubuntu as it says I can't run a binary file if I make it executable, but says I don't have permission if I remove execute. (I'm looking into this - but I'm not very good with Linux, so lots of Googling!!...lol....) Also I see that there are some issues with this version with the wireless version being favored. Unfortunately as I'm unable to log onto my Amazon account, I can't use this method.
I will continue to try, I'm almost there now, thanks for you help so far.

I'm still unsure how to run the runme.sh from Kubuntu command line.
I tried - ./runme.sh
but error is - unable to run a binary file - or something like that.
I'm unable to use the cordless version com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk due to the fact that as the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, I'm unable to log in and download or install .apk files.
Is there is an alternative way to install .apk files without needing to log in?
Hopefully that makes a little more sense. Cheers
Yes. Download the fmkilo apk from his thread, (use the browser if you have to) then once downloaded pull down the notification bar and tap on the apk link. Also, make sure that the option to install from unknown sources is set in the settings before doing the download
You could alternatively push the file via adb to the system Directory.
Is USB debugging enabled? Are you rooted?

Yup, that did it. I had overlooked the fact that I was still able to use the browser on the KF2 and didn't really know you could install .apk's using that method anyway. So now I have carried on and installed Jellybean 4.2.2 on there and it works a treat.
Thank you ever so much Mindmajick for taking an interest in my problem, I really do appreciate yours and the rest of the developers time on here. :good:

Not a problem: Thanks
I think this is a method of pushing the flash and image files to the tablet and then installing using ADB by the way it is described.
I think I have that method copied down some place else.
I have never used this method but, sounds like it would work.
I also presume you need root to do the install via ADB.

Dear all, first of all...
HI!
I just registered (also after the call to arms on the original infinite thread about FP), so...
Then here is my question (that I think many already asked themselves): how to update the AOSP keyboard (4.2.2 -> 4.4.2) from F-Droid?
Problem: just doing it doesn't work, since the signature is different.
Solution 1: unistalling directly the keyboard is not possible, since it is a system app ==> FAIL
Solution 2: with system/app mover I moved the app in order to be able to uninstall it ... but it actually just disappeared
The app just doesn't exist anymore. Not too bad I thought. Problem is I can't reinstall it from F-Droid: everything looks smooth until I get a straight "Application not installed". I already rebooted and cleaned the caches. ==> FAIL again
So.... any idea?
Thanks in advance at least for reading.
P.S.
Where do I add a signature? I would like to say everywhere that I am NOT using the google apps
You can deinstall any system app using titanium backup. After that you should be able to install the ap from f-droid. The titanium backup .apk cann be found on their website.

Signature: Will be available for you when you become a Member - but I am not definitely sure, search a bit on XDA.
But if so, you can change it here: Control Panel -> Edit Signature
And here you have to post requirements. Don't post nonsense, as moderator would just delete the nonsense and could disable your account. Be productive

The signature thing was just a P.S. since I was already posting, of course I'm not going to add a thread just for that. Then if you mean that my question is a nonsense because the 4.4.2 keyboard is meant to be for Android 4.4.2..... ok, let it be! My apologies
Still, for someone new to Android, with a FP, using F-Droid, my thread could be useful (and the result, up to now, is: just don't).
Now I am trying to reinstall the keyboard from the flashable zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663, but it still gives me "Installation aborted". So I think I'll withdraw and restore the OS.

No, I did not mean anything about the keyboard stuff, which is useful for several people using the Fairphone. Misunderstanding.
But I mean, there are several junior members, who posts nonsense like "nice" or "that's great" just to get a higher post count. You did not cross that line, that's good. Keep us informed about the keyboard for the fairphone, maybe you find a workaround, other apk installation files... anything. :good:
I wonder what's causing that? Could be the app wasn't removed properly; I tend to do that kind of thing via adb. It is possible to install with a different package name but a small change has to be made to dictionaries.xml before building. I already do this myself.
I found a solution,
This allows to update almost any system app in your android device. It is also quite risky, so I am not responsible if it goes wrong
First make sure that you have installed another keyboard and set that other keyboard as default, just in case. For example install anysoftkeyboard.
Check that your phone is rooted and enable adb. Download the update that you want to install to your working directory, for example I downloaded it from f-droid. The name of the apk in this example is com.android.inputmethod.latin_4424.apk
Open a shell on the directory that you have downloaded the update and follow this steps:
1) Get root permissions on your phone
Code:
adb root
2) Remount the /system partition with read and write permissions
Code:
adb remount
3) Search the name of the system apk on your phone that corresponds to the update by using a keywork from the file downloaded. In this case I use "latin"
Code:
adb shell 'pm list packages -f' | grep latin
And the output is
Code:
package:/system/app/LatinIME.apk=com.android.inputmethod.latin
This means that the apk we are interested in is LatinIME.apk and is in the /system/app directory
4) Let's do a backup of the original apk just in case
Code:
adb pull /system/app/LatinIME.apk LatinIME.apk.backup
5) Rename your apk update
Code:
mv com.android.inputmethod.latin_4424.apk LatinIME.apk
6) Update it to the /sdcard
Code:
adb push LatinIME.apk /sdcard/LatinIME.apk
7) Then copy it to the /system/app folder. Don't use the command "mv" or else you will have the following error: "failed on '/sdcard/LatinIME.apk' - Cross-device link". This is because /system and /sdcard are different partitions and the move command uses hardlinks to move files which only work inside the same partition.
Code:
adb shell 'cp /sdcard/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
8) Reboot your phone and you are done
If you had used the commands "adb install -r" or "adb uninstall" you would have come accross multiple errors from "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]" to a simple "Failure". That is because it is a system app and in my case it had a different signature.
I just found an easy solution (that worked at least on my FP..): delete the folder /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin (I also 'uninstalled' the keyboard with system/app mover before)
I used File Manager (from CyanogenMod, installed from FDroid), in root mode.

If anyone having issues with replacing AOSP keyboard with Google Keyboard, just remove any entries regarding
com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
and
com.android.inputmethod.latin
from the /data/system/packages.xml file
then uninstall AOSP keyboard, and Install Google Keyboard from an apk using:
"adb install -f -r com.google.android.inputmethod.latin-[version].apk"
