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?
I just received my Galaxy nexus 4 days ago. And there was no youtube app, later i flash it to YAKJU build and there was again no youtube app. Yesterday, I fastboot Android 4.0.2, and still no youtube app.
-In google folder at home screen, there is Youtube icon, but when i click it, it says "app is not installed".
-When I try to search market, there is no youtube app.
-When i go to 'm.google.com/youtube', it says my device is not supported. It is damn Galaxy Nexus, how possible ?
Anyone has idea how I can install Youtube app? By the way, i am from Turkey, can this be the reason ?
Here's my YouTube apk

Thanks mate, I put your apk to my download, but i cannot find it in the phone. There is nothing in downloads and When I check storage from settings, I see downloads is 2,6 mB, but where should i find it ? Or how can i install your apk ?
I am very new to Android, so it may sound stupid that i dont know how to do it
There is a new version for ICS, which isn't on the Market but should be in the ROM out the box
most of the download item can be found using a file manager which can be installed from the market, the you tube app can also be found in the systems folder.
using any file manager (i use androzip pro) leave the sd card and goto system/app/ you will find the youtube.apk app, just click on it to install.

I did what you said, but when i click youtube.apk at system/app/, there is no install button, just 'extract to' and 'send' are there. But if there is youtube .apk and .odex in my system files, doesnt it suppose to mean there is youtube app in my phone ?
By the way, in google folder at desktop, there is one Youtube icon with tiny green android logo. When i click it, it says "application is not installed". Any ideas how to make this icon work ?

Have you tried going into the system/app and delete the youtube.apk, or if you can delete from settings/apps, then try to download it from the link again.
try this before you delete anything, goto settings/storage/apps and see if youtube is disabled, if it isn't there try the info above.

I checked setting/storage/apps and there was no Youtube app, So i tried the first option. But phone didnt let me delete youtube.apk and returned "system restriction"
ozmor39, I too am from Turkey and I'm having the exact same issue as you. It seems Google found another way to screw us over
By the way, when I got my phone (UK GSM version) it was on yakjuxw 4.01 and I had the Youtube app in the app drawer and it did work. After I switched to yakju 4.02, I can't see the app in the app drawer, only under system/app, but I can't (re)install it and I can't see it under installed apps.
I intend to keep my GNex on stock ROM, simply rooted, with that in mind I too would appreciate any help on this...
Thanks all!

I'm puzzled, can't think of anything now, may be you should just wait for 4.0.3 update, and see what will happen, or you can download the ics stock firmware and reflash it back to 4.0.1, but you need to search this site for the info.
I've got it working!
I don't know how exactly, but this is what I think did the trick:
- Using Root Explorer I renamed system/app/YouTube.apk to YouTube.apk- (added a dash to the end of the extension) *you need to mount system/app as R/W
- Rebooted the phone
- Renamed it back to YouTube.apk
- Rebooted the phone and now I've got a working YouTube app
In case this isn't what caused YouTube to spring back to life here's all I've done (a lot of silly steps):
- Changed system localization back and forth between Turkish and English (United Kingdom)
- Using Root Explorer I *tried to* install YouTube.apk under system/app several times but each attempt failed
- I mounted system/app as R/W and tried to install YouTube.apk under system/app, each attempt failed
- I downloaded the YouTube.apk from the link Arrio provided, tried to install it by opening it from Opera Mobile, failed
- I tried to install the same YouTube.apk from Root Explorer, failed
- I renamed YouTube.apk under system/app to YouTube.apk- and tried to install the downloaded YouTube.apk, failed
*edit: one more step: I assigned a static IP number and custom DNSs to my WiFi connection
- Rebooted phone
- Tried to install the downloaded YouTube.apk again, failed
- Renamed YouTube.apk- back to YouTube.apk
- At this point I noticed that YouTube app appeared in the app drawer and the Google folder on the home screen with the green android icon
- Rebooted phone
- YouTube app with YouTube icon, which works!
I hope the first few steps I outlined work for you, and any other xda-developers user for that matter

Thanks for the effort, I also somehow managed it to get working. I have done one more thing tho, with root manager, I have changed the Youtube.apk and youtube.odex permissions to give full control to everyone. Maybe if that was done in the first place, it would be ok Not sure tho.
Glad you guys got it working. But kinda sad to hear of those restriction in an open source project like Android. The focus should be on the word "open"!
umm... I found there are many guys has the problem. When he want to install a google play into an android phone bought from China,always failed.
This thread just for noob of an andorid device. I'm also a noob lol..
I posted the method at Blogger. now paste here. Take huawei Ascend G330D U8825D as an example:
1. Make sure your Ascend G330D rooted. This is must be request.
2.Find 2 or 3 apk:
a>GoogleServicesFramework(Check your phone via RE explorer)
b>GoogleLoginService
c>Google play store(lastest version is better)
3.Copy those 2 or 3 apps to your phone(Internal or Extend are ok)
4.Copy them into System/app via RE.explorer
5.Restart your phone.
6.You will find the Google play and now login with your google account.

So I solved my problem with the Xperia S LT26i Chinese:
I found the rom ITA LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_Generic_Italy.zip
and I installed it with flashtool
It was very simple
I did not understand if the device is rooted now
Now the device is fully Italian as if I had bought in my country
Ciao!
Changing file permissions was critical
Thanks for the information and the attachments xjarl!
This worked perfectly for me, but only after I changed the permissions on the 3 files! I bought a Coolpad (Yulong) 8022 with Android 2.3.7 in China through China Mobile. I rooted the phone but was unable to install Google Play until I found this post. I downloaded the attachment, extracted the files and copied the 3 APK files to my system/app folder and rebooted. After installing Google Play and running it, I could browse all the apps in the store but I could not download or install them. The progress bar didn't move.
So I launched Root Explorer and went to the system/app folder. Then I changed the permissions of the 3 APKs: GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk to rw-r--r-- to match all the other files in the folder and rebooted. Since then everything has been working fine! Now I can browse the App store and download and install files without a problem!
So, the steps I recommend are:
1. Root your phone.
2. Download the attachment above.
3. Extract GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk from the RAR file and copy them to the system/app folder on your phone with Root Explorer.
4. In Root Explorer click Mount R/W. Change the permissions of the 3 files to match the permissions of the other files in the folder (rw-r--r--). Then click Mount R/O and exit Root Explorer.
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Go to Accounts & Sync in your phone's settings, click Add account and enter your Google/GMail account details.
7. Go to your apps and Launch Google Play.
I'm guessing that this will work on any Android phone. Good luck!
Thanks for shared.
I get the same problems, but my phone use Spreadtrum CPU SC6820 and it very hard to root.
If not root then can use this solution?

Hi - I believe you will need to root your phone first - I used SuperOneClick to root my phone. I wish you good luck!
It is a very good solution and I tested in my China mobile Note2: GT-N7108 and it works fine.
Thank you very much.

Crashing
I hope someone can help me here. I have a Green Orange N1.
The first thing i tried was to simply install vending apk.
App was crashing before loading.
I tried this method and followed all steps
Root - adding 3 apk to system/app - set permissions- but no luck. Google play still crashes.
I tried also with different G Play versions and still i can't access the application.
Do you have any idea about other steps?

I got it working by downloading different versions of GoogleServicesFramework
i have found 3 versions on the first page searching for GoogleServicesFramework.apk on google
One of them was 2.3M not 4M and it worked. i have also downloaded different GoogleLoginService
Now all google apps work perfectly except for voice search... looks like it doesn't connect.
I can give commands and it keeps searching. don't know if it depends on the GoogleLoginService i installed.
My solution is probably messing up something.
It would be really nice to know which versions of Framework or LoginServices are available andhow to choose the right ones for 4.2 or 4.1.
hope someone can explain here

This kinda works with a bit of play around
These files are KING!!!!
This method works if you root your phone!
I rooted my phone(Samsung Galaxy S4) bought from China loaded with spam and bloatware. The phone by default has a whole load of crap installed into the system apps folder and can't be deleted unless rooted!!!
I rooted using:
Odin3 v3.07
cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar
Google_play.rar
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0
System App Remover
Root Explorer
Step 1: Put phone in USB debugging mode in order for ODIN to successfully detect and install 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 2: Power phone on holding Volume Down, Menu Button and Power Button. (This put it in download mode)
Step 3: Plug phone into PC(Ensure USB drivers have been installed)
Step 4: Open ODIN
Step 5: Select PDA and locate 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 6: Click Start (Sit back it takes a few)
Step 7: Once completed immediately unplug battery before phone restarts.(This apparently ensures the CWM will root the phone for S4 new security)
Step 8: Power phone on using Volume Up, Menu Button and Power Button.
Step 9: Root phone option
Step 10: Install from SD card
Step 11: Select the CWM option
Step 12: Restart phone from the options
Step 13 : Super User app should now be installed on the phone
Step 14 : Given that you can't access google play you may need to download apps via pc or web browser on your mobile.
Step 15 : Download the following apps a) Root Explorer b) System App Remover.
Step 14 : Be smart and write down the names of the apps you need to remove and take note of the icons.
Step 15 : Delete what you can through System App Remover (Some will not delete through this app but you'll understand a little later)
Step 16 : Once you've deleted what you can, open Root explorer.
Step 17 : Copy the Google Play files (There are 3) into a directory you can find on your phone.
Step 18 : These files should be stored on SD in Root Explorer, Tap Hold and Move.
Step 19 : Go to System then Apps.
Step 20 : Paste and extract the folder.
Step 21 : Delete the remaining apps that System App Remover couldn't remove.( be careful deleting the wrong apps can be troublesome)
Step 22: NB!!!! Change the permissions on theses 3 apps to all permissions or your phone will keep bringing up alerts and freezing!!!!!
Step 23 : In any event copying the framework from another device you will be forced to do a Factory Reset to have it all fully functional!!!!
This worked for me. Thought I'd put the full list of instructions because it took me a few hours to gather all this info from a mix of sites.
All credit to everyone I resourced to finally get this working!!! This seems to have been an unresolved one on many sites with no tutorials for newbs.

I posted the method at Blogger. now paste here. Take huawei Ascend G330D U8825D as an example:
1. Make sure your Ascend G330D rooted. This is must be request.
2.Find 2 or 3 apk:
a>GoogleServicesFramework(Check your phone via RE explorer)
b>GoogleLoginService
c>Google play store(lastest version is better)
3.Copy those 2 or 3 apps to your phone(Internal or Extend are ok)
4.Copy them into System/app via RE.explorer
5.Restart your phone.
6.You will find the Google play and now login with your google account.
All the apk needed are in attachment, you can download it and decompress.

Okay so here's how you do it
1) Make sure you have root and TWRP/CWM recovery
2) Download and unzip the folder from the main viper page
3) Now for viper to work in Enforced SELinux, you'll have to flash this zip via the recovery that you have. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/k9cnruw2e1t1d4t/ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip?dl=0)
4) After that, you will need to download this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3244040&d=1428124059) You'll find a folder named audio_config. Go to your root browser /system/etc and scroll till you find a file named audio_effects.conf. Rename this file as audio_effects.conf.bak. This will be a backup just incase you mess something up or it doesn't work.
5) Move the audio_config file that you downloaded from the link above to /system/etc
6) Move viper app to /system/app folder and reboot. The app will disappear
7) Now go to /system/app and open the file. You'll see the apk there. Install it and reboot.
8) Open v4a and install drivers. Reboot again
9) Enjoy!
Thank you very much. It worked for me.

Anyone made the Measure app work on their OP3?
I'm also having problems what's brought me here. I was trying different versions and nothing works :/
Yep, works perfectly fine here. Do other AR Core apps work for you?
Actually I have a problem with installing AR Core itself, do you have a link to proper version?
Also can't get it to work. I tried a few different versions of the ARCore apk now, but when opening the measure app all I get is different error messages.

Do you have a OnePlus 3 or 3T?
I've had ARC running earlier, but can't get the Measure app to work. I can install both APKs, but I get error when starting the Measure app.

I have the 3.
What I did was the following:
1) Download and install the latest ARCore apk from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/arcore/arcore-1-3-180604066-release/
2) Sideload an ARCore-enabled app like Just a Line or IKEA Place (again, from APK Mirror) and launch it so it crashes the first time.
3) Using a root explorer, go to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/ and find the file for the OnePlus 3T (it will have "OnePlus3T" in its name).
4) Rename/Remove the "T" from "OnePlus3T" in the file name.
5) Launch an ARCore-enabled app again and it should work flawlessly.

... or it replies to you then with the error: " This device does not support AR" instead of hanging at start ^^
Fobos531´s instructions seem to work well for me. I can use the measure app now. Though I'm not yet sure how exact it is. Haven't had much time yet for testing it.
For reference, I've got OP3 (not T) running NitrogenOS 8.1
Fixed, I completely kicked ARCore APK and reinstalled. Now it works. AR Stickers does not, but I think that I use the wrong APK...

Can you try manually creating the file in that case? Create a "files" folder, inside create a folder named "device_profile_database" and inside that folder create a file named "device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto" (make sure .textproto is the extension). Put this in the file: https://gist.github.com/fobos531/64cd45838ffb6a143a83306882d208b6
Also the file should have read+write permissions only for the owner (you can do "chmod 600 /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto") to achieve this.

Same happened to me. Problem was a too old apk (didn't use the version from the download link above at first, thought I had the right one)
Sure you used that one?

This works well for me.
I have the Skulshady's ARCore before. I uninstall it and install the latest version from apkmiror, then follow this guide and works fine.
Thanks @Fobos531 , your way works for me like a charm. OOS 5.0.3 with Magisk. Installed ArCore 1.3 from apkmirror, then Ikea app, let it crash one time, edited the filename and everything works now.

and downloaded measures from play store
and i didnt do anything else

If you are able to download measure app from play store then it means, your phone supports this, you don't need to do anything else
