DSP Manager: how to?

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/app​3. Then move the DSPManager.apk to the tmp directory.
mv DSPManager.apk /tmp​4. 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/app​5. 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?

[Q] Help. I'm stuck in the middle of a root of my evo via linux terminal/ adb

So I'm not fluent in the linux terminal. I'm basically illiterate, deaf and dumb. So here I am trying to root using toasts tutorial, How To Root The HTC EVO ~ Part-1 \0/
the forum won't let me post links yet., and apparently the software here thinks some part of the code I'm posting is a link.
Anyway I'm at this step,
- At this point it will boot into a rooted rom.
- YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!
- rename the PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard:
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop and do:

I may be root but I had a problem and had to redo this step... my sdcard was not being recognized. After reflashing/ updating I was able to access it again.
Now this rename the zip file step... I'm thinking if I rename it the code I'm supposed to enter isn't going to work. What should I rename it to?
How should I enter this code? first off my sd card isn't called sdcard it's called an 8 digit number.
I tried this (can't post the code for some reason) without changing the name of the zip file. I'm thinking I don't have the locations right because I know the file is in there.
I need some direction to get to the next step.
Thanks

Mods please move this thread....
to wherever it will get the most or correct exposure. Sorry if I put it in the wrong place.

i have no idea what your doing...i rooted via the unREVOked method...i had to downgrade to 2.1, then actually root...can u send me a PM with what tutorial your following? and also the current info you have for your phone, like what its running (2.1 or 2.2) and stuff of that nature.... we shall see if i can help, not sure but its worth a shot

okay form what i read you have already flashed the .zip. Make sure you clear your data and cache as these will cause boot loops if not cleared. Also you can rename the .zip to anything you want, this just makes it so the bootloader does not try to install the .zip a second time.

I'm running 2.1. I never upgraded. The tutorial I'm following is in thread #690762 I'll try to pm the link but I don't think they'll let me. I thought unrevoked wasn't a full root. I want to unlock nand. I'm also using Ubuntu here, not windows.

I just removed the .zip part. What is the point of the next step, which I couldn't get to work, if I rename the file?
Code:
adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip

Well I guess I'm going to start over and wait for the latest unrevoked to come back out. Thanks to everyone that tried to help. "NO ROOT FOR YOU!"

You have a lot to learn....
First of all, don't rename the sdcard, rename pc36img.zip. Just rename it to anything you want so boat loader doesn't recognize it and try to update itself. Next, you aren't utilizing root. You do have a rooted boot loader, but you are still using a protected recovery and rom. Install a custom recovery and flash a new rom so you can be cool.

Yes, I know I have a lot to learn. I didn't rename the sdcard, that wasn't possible. I figured part of the problem with getting this to work was the path. My sdcard wasn't called sdcard it was called some 8 digit number. I eventually worked around pushing the file to the sd card by installing the phone as a drive and dragging the file to the sdcard.

After I rebooted and updated/ flashed the file, I renamed the file on the sdcard by removing the .zip. I did this via disk drive on my laptop because I wasn't getting anywhere with the command line.
Again this part didn't make any sense to me, not that most of it does, but what was the point of the next command in the directions if I renamed the file?

Right "I have a lot to learn" I thought following the directions in toasts tutorial step by step would have gotten me to that point. I didn't realize I was just supposed to skip stuff when I run into problems. That kinda seems like what your telling me to do. I thought all of the commands were important.

I was hoping you had some follow up insight dkdude.

if you still on 2.1, try this method (just make sure the files aren't corrupted)

[Q] change boot animation?

i have searched but cant find the ideal guide on how to change the boot animation AND mp3 sound. i see it all on youtube but its confusing the way they do it.
someone point me in the right direction?? thanks in advanced.
also do i need to have NAND unlocked??

I would purchase Root Explorer for $1 and do it through that app.
You basically need to find the thread located on this website with a collection of boot animations. Download the zip that's included and flash through recovery. If you wish to change the .mp3 sound for let's say the Dancing Droid boot animation you would want to go through Root Explorer and overwrite/place mp3 file in the correct formatted name.
Here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708173

Cool thanks but root explorer is like $5 where do you get it for $1?
-On That Black Ops Status-

Oops my bad. I probably too it for another app. Try downloading ES File Explorer since it's free. I buy so many apps that I forget the price sometimes.

so it there any exact walkthrough?
im just not used to all the "experienced people should know what this means"
stuff..
like when u say recovery u mean hboot??

Recovery is when you power off your phone, hold volume down and boot on your phone while holding it down. You can then flash .zip from recovery by choosing "choose zip from sdcard" and finding the boot animation, confirming (as in yes) and installing.

if i mess up can i reflash my nand??
i already backed everything up..

Yes you can do a Nand restore.

cool thank you

didnt work in recovery.. i flashed and everything but no success.. same old one..

I've been trying to figure it out too?
Swyped From Eva Running Myn's RLS4.95 On The Now Network!

The boot animation is in /system/media put the file in there & replace the existing one. It must be named the exact same & be a .zip I suggest booting into recovery & wiping cache & dalvik after replacing it

Will try that hope it works

Didn't let me overwrite my boot out said its read only. So my guess is I have to do it through adb?

Pushboot is the easiest way

Oh boy. Have you guys actually made a rom or flashed a boot animation? I don't think so. Here's a step-by-step tutorial.
1. NANDROID NANDROID NANDROID <--- Always do this when modifying your rom unless you like starting over.
2. Find the bootanimation that you want. Some come with the sound and some don't. I prefer ones without sound.
3. Get the Android USB drivers and ADB from the Android SDK if you haven't already and make sure the drivers are installed for your phone. If I have to explain that, then you shouldn't use technology.
4. Now, I would just do this the easy way and open up the zip file that the bootanimation comes in. If the bootanimation is named bootanimation.zip, then there's nothing to extract as that's the file we need. The sound file will be called SPC_animation_final.mp3. That's what the file names for the animation and sound must be.
5. Now, make sure that bootanimation.zip and SPC_animation_final.mp3 are in the same folder as ADB and open a command prompt. Make sure you Chdir to the same directory that ADB is and then type: adb remount
6. If you're rooted, you should see "remount succeeded" and you'll have read/write on your phone. If you don't see that message, you have to remount another way. The other way is to type: adb shell. Then, type: cat /proc/mounts. Look for the line that has an mtdblock in it and /system. You'll need that mtdblock number. The command I use is: mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system. Yours may be different if your partition setup is different. Yours could be 3, 5, 6, etc. If you aren't rooted, then leave this thread and go do that.
7. If you are still in adb shell, type exit to go back to the normal CMD. Otherwise, just go to step #8.
8. Next, type: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource. It should copy it over without error.
9. Then, type adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource. Again, it should copy without error.
10. Now, to test to make sure this worked, you can type adb shell bootanimation. Watch your phone and if you see your bootanimation, then it worked. If you don't, then it didn't copy right. Not sure if this test will play the animation sound as I don't use one.
11. If you really want to make sure it worked, type adb shell reboot and that will reboot your phone.
12. ???
13. Profit!

so everything is done through adb command..
-_- thats too difficult for me.. cuz if overtime i wanna change it again..
its a hassle..

[Q] Adding sound to an existing bootanimation

Ok so i'm just wondering if there is a way to go into an existing bootanimation file and add a wav file into the sequence of the description text file. And also where would you put the wav file in the zip file. Also can you do this without using ADB, not a big fan of it(meaning I don't know how to use it) It should just be as easy as throwing the file in the zip file and writing the new description text code to run it properly. Just I don't know how. please help

What ROM are you on? How did you get your current boot animation onto your phone w/o adb?

I used Ava-froyoZ2, and for the bootanimation i downloaded one put it on the root of my sdcard and then using root explorer i moved that file to /system/customize/resources then pasted it in there. So all i need to know is how to put a wav file in the bootanimation zip file and write the description text so it'll execute that file.

It's not a wave file it's mp3. It is also not part of the bootanomation zip, it is its own file. Search the forums for pushboot and use that. You should learn to use adb because from your questions in here you more than likely will boot loop your phone and have to nand restore just to get out of it. I have fixed bootloops with adb many times and I now only keep a solid backup of my rom once every 2 weeks.

Ok, secondly; With that rom or if it even is the rom, it doesn't allow me to put my phone in debugging. I have ADB blah blah blah just i'm not that good with CMD, but it never recognizes my phone due to that fact of the debugging. When I go into the settings I can check it and uncheck it. So I don't know what that problem could be.

Custom boot animations through adb... but I have ClockwordMod.

Alright so I tried getting a custom boot animation onto my Evo, and I don't really know if I should pay for Root Explorer just to put boot animations on my phone so I decided to try it through adb. However, when I was going through the steps and I reboot into recovery mode, I'm in ClockwordMod, so it doesn't recognize it on my computer correctly. Anyone know how to fix this without unflashing ClockworkMod?

Some custom boot animations are flashable in recovery, and you could just flash the zip in recovery, and it should work fine in clockwork, unless the scripting isn't right (i forget if it's amend or edify, but one doesn't work with clockwork). I usually use bootanimations that are NOT flashable. Just the bootanimation.zip. If you are on sense, you want that bootanimation.zip to be in the /system/customize/resource folder. if doing adb, you would simply do:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
If you are on an AOSP rom, it would be:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
You could also use ES file explorer, and enable root mode (it's free) if you don't want to buy Root Explorer (which is totally worth it IMO), . Drop the bootanimation.zip in the respective folder, set the permissions, and reboot.
It should'nt matter what recovery you're on, unless you're trying to use a flashable zip, that you can't flash with clockwork recovery, due to incorrect scripting. If that's the case, you should be able to open up the flashable zip, and extract the bootanimation.zip. At that point, you couse use one of my methods above to install it.
