[Q] CM 7.2 Audio Drivers

Hello XDA, I'm having a Galaxy Gio. I really wanna use Cyanogen Mod 9, but as I've "heard", audio drivers are modified compared with stock rom - for music listening, I'm using Philips SHP2700 which are great headphones, but music in Cyanogen Mod is too loud compared with stock rom, where the sound in my SHP2700 is just perfect!
So, finally, the question comes: Can I use stock audio drivers in Cyanogen Mod? If yes, what I must do? Thank you in advance!

I've found a way, now let's see if it will work - I copied libaudio.so and libaudiopolicy.so from stock rom to card using Root Explorer, and I will put them in /system/lib after Cyanogen installation.

No, it's not working - system freezes at "ANDROID" screen ... Please help me...

I think you have to restore your nandroid.... Also, i think it's pretty quiet in cyanogenmod 7 compared to other roms i tested.

The freezing problem it's not something to worry about, I solve it - what help I need, is about how to use stock drivers in CyanogenMod

... Nobody is having any idea?

Did you put the permissions on the stock files like they were in cyanogenmod files?
But i think CM9/android 4.0 has different drivers than CM7/android 2.3, i dont know if you can use files from other android versions.

Oh I did not set any permissions, thanks for tip.
I was using CM 7.2 not 9 . Now I have beta8 of CM 9 ICS

I do have only one problem: If equalizer is on the music skips And sometimes big painful bass peak:-(
Only poweramp works good

My audio skips alot without EQ's. As for the loudness, CM9 is CRAZY loud when compared to my ipod. Hopefully maclaw and the team can fix these in the next beta

Yes, it's louder than in stock ROM Gingerbread, where the sound (In headphones) it's perfect.
I mean, the speaker sound is very good, but the headphone sound it's too loud.

So just turn the volume down ?? And to prevent skipping, set the min freq to 480 mhz when listening to music. I also use performance governer.

[Q] xLoud for Desire HD ICS ROM

Hi everyone,
Is there any compatible add-on of xLoud sound enhancement that can be applied to Desire HD's ICS ROM?
Last month, when I was still running my phone with Android2.3.4+Sense3.0
I flashed the xLoud Engine made by Pacha, and it worked GREAT!
Sound improvements for phone speakers are easily noticed.
Currently, my phone is running Blackout's V3.0 which contains Android4.0.4+Sense3.6
flashed the same add-on and my phone can't boot anymore, guess it might be compatibility issues
So...is there anything that can improve the phone speaker volume while running ICS?
I tried DSP Manager, headset effects are great, but for phone speakers...well...
I wouldn't post this thread if it works...
If there's anything out there that can help to improve phone speaker volumes
Let me know! I need it desperately:crying:

does anyone has any info on this?

I also look for the solution to improve loudspeaker sound issue.
It's quite small in call hand-free and ringtones that make many lost calls when walking around crowded people

[Guide] Optimal Galaxy Nexus Audio Setup

Disclaimer: I am not a developer and have no rights or claim to any of the files listed below. I only use them to "Rock Out"
Like many of you I have struggled with the lack luster audio output of the Galaxy Nexus. Nearly a year later and much has been done to correct this. I was using Volume + for a while before upgrading to 4.2.1 which broke its functionality and limited the effect it had on my audio output. There are two formidable modifications out right now that will take your GNex to the next level but because they are similar in functionality I will discuss the one that provides the most merged features.
Before you get started please ensure that you have rooted your phone, have an updated custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM. I will not tell you which Kernel to use, however I will tell you that I have this 100% working on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus using AOKP 4.2.1 or AOKP MR1 BuildX. The MOD developers also state that it is confirmed working for the Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1 (AOKP) I do not know if any other ROM will work with this phone.
The MOD is called Ac!d Audio Engine which combines Beats Drivers found in some HTC phones with other sound engines such as Sony's Xlouder, Dolby, etc... There is another thread for the mod that I will link below. You can go there and read/download the MOD and I will give you a brief description below on initial setup.
Before installing this please make a full backup of you Galaxy Nexus. Even though this works for most phones it is also ROM dependent. With that in mind make a backup please. Coming from any other ROM or Version of AOKP you must do a FULL WIPE!!!! I would also download each component and upload to your phones internal SD before you run through the steps. This way you can install them all one after another and not have to wait for your phone to optimize applications multiple times.
Step 1 - Please visit http://aokp.co/release-jb-mr1-build-2/
Download the version or this for your phone. Like many developers they list the phones as the code name for instance VZN is Toro.
Install this using the latest version of CWM or TWRP. I realize most people get really attached to ROM developers and stick with them. I will promise you that this is totally worth trying for the sound improvement not only in quality but shear DB gain.
Wipe Dalvik
Step 2 - Install the version of GAPPS listed on the AOKP website. Remember that as this thread ages the ROM could change as well as GAPPS.
Wipe Dalvik
Step 3 (Optional) - Install your favorite Kernel. As long as it is verified for JB 4.2.1 it should work. I use LeanKernel (not tested on GSM) you can get that form here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13092-kernel-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-48-58-12313/
Wipe Dalvik
Step 4: Install the Ac!d Audio Engine found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923630
Wipe Dalvik
Also Important download the Ac!d Noozoxide or Ac!d Awesome Beats appllication and flash as well. It is possible against the Dev's advice to install both of them. As long as you remember not to configure them both you should not get any audio issues. I tend to uninstall them via the standard app drawer if I want to switch and reinstall them later should I want to switch back.
Once installed bootup, go to settings, sound, music effects and choose the DSP you want to use either Awesome Beats or Noozoxide. Next open up a music player such as Google Music and start your favorite tune. Next open the application drawer and choose the DSP you installed to open. Tweak headphones first. Inside the application you will notice immediate change by enabling the equalizer and editing the sliders. Please note that depending on the quality of your headphones these values may need to be lower than expected to get rid of rattling or audio anomalies. The other two tweakable settings are for build in speaker and bluetooth audio output.
From my experience Awesome Beats is configurable louder however that introduces artifacts into your music if it crosses the thresh hold that your headphones can handle. Noozoxide has a few different filters and is easier to tweak. The reason I say to use either one of these is because sounds across you the entire phone are improved and louder; Calls, notifications, other player apps like Pandora etc.
I hope anyone who views this gives it a try. I wanted to wait until AOKP 4.2.1 had matured past build one to give everyone a smoother experience. Also this will push your phones DAC much harder. Certain kinds of headphones such as over ear (50mm +) couldn't really be driven hard prior to this MOD but now they can so you may experience additional battery drain if not using smaller ear buds. If you love music like I do most people will make this sacrifice.
Here is a video of an installation and tweaking of a Galaxy S3. The Galaxy Nexus will be similar once the files have been flashed and you can tweak your audio settings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pkmnKN-r9Y
Please let me know if you find this useful and hopefully you fall back in love with your phone all over again. :highfive::victory:
P.S. I really love wiping my Dalvik
Thanks, Joe.

Much thanks for this, very useful

Rom Compatibility
Has anyone tried the Ac!d Audio mod with a different Rom or AOKP nightly? I will edit my OP if anyone can confirm success.

Hey that's great news which ROM/ Kernel combination are you using with Ac!d Audio?

I'm running CM 10.1 M1. I'll try this out later tonight when I get the chance and let you know if it works. Thanks for doing the work!

I installed this after I updated my tenderloin to the latest CM 9 to the latest nighty. The first couple of flashes played the initial sounds but as soon as I plugged in headphones all sounds we failed to play. I simply dirty flashed the ROM a few times including the MOD until I turned off the ac!d audio notifications. Afterward I changed my dsp to Noozoxide and it worked perfectly. Strangely though the audio filters work and sound great but it still cannot compare to WebOS volume wise. This to me is proof that the driver choice is everything because the Touchpad has the better audio hardware than most mobile/tablet. Didn't want to stray from the Galaxy Nexus discussion but this could be viable for the GNex on CM 9+ or ICS in general.

No I flashed the ROM with the ac!d audio mod. I also chose noozoxide as the DSP but with CM you could try the included DSP it is identical to the awesome beats DSP. With ac!d audio you really need an equalizer to utilize the drivers. Even if you leave it flat you can at least get a dB gain.

I recall supercurio saying something along the lines of these not actually improving audio performance in measurements and such. I've looked at these before but I sceptical.... anyone have actual measure of improved performance and not just placebo?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I do not know if the audio drivers/ engine components are Placebo or not. What I do know is that my phone plays very deep bass and sounds great afterward. This might only be attributed to the DSP but I can tell you that Music FX is a terrible DSP and Volume+ stopped working with 4.2.1. So anything I can do to be satisfied with sounds is better than listening to SuperCurio debunk things with no proof. Is it better than DSP manager that comes with CM? I do not know.But if you can make a backup and it doesn't break your phone I also cant say there's any reason for skepticism.

acid works great with pa so far. flashed yesterday and havent had any issues when i've played over speaker or headphone port. Better then DSP manger... meh i can still crank up the bass when i am feelin in the mood and sounds great.

Yeah, on 10.1 I couldn't get either Noozoxide or AC!D Awesome Beats to kick in. Only the default DSP packed with CM worked. I tried it through my IEMs and my car. Though, yeah, even that was noticeably better.

Why dont you post some of this science? Every idiot knows that a DSP is a valuable tool... Which is what I said. Why are you proverbially blowing supercurio? I understand if he's butthurt cause not every Hw manufacturer uses wolfsen as the DAC hense voodoo audio doesn't work. Cause here you come to defend his honor in a thread that you don't belong in... Sorry truth sucks. Now stop being a flaming troll. You will be slapped down every time in my thread...

I'm sorry that it doesn't work. It could be possible that cm 10.1 only works with built in DSP. It does work with aokp and paranoid android though which are both 4.2.1. So much for placebo though if even the packaged DSP manager was better... Granted. I suppose drivers actually make a difference despite what people who havn't tried it believe. Because the DSP is just an equalizer. The drivers are what improve the DAC performance.
P.S. I trust a curio to hold my TV in my bedroom not to tell me about what works on my phone.

[Q][XS] PowerAMP stutters like a *****!

This has always been happening, its incredibility frustrating the music will cut out/or will stutter often. It does seem to do it more often the longer the phone is booted up. But there is enough free RAM and I don't really know why it's doing it, I have even reinstalled the firmware...running stock ICS .55. so irritating if anyone can tell give me a working solution I will buy you a coffee!:good:

Every music player on stock ICS for XS shutters (on my XS) .. Seems to be a problem with stock rom..
My friend's low end Samsung Galaxy Y doesn't have this problem. I try my best to avoid playing music around him.. Its embarrassing IMHO..

[APP][PORT][JB/KK] XPERIA Z1 Walkman + Clear Audio

Hello.
For everyone that wants an alternative for the stock Motorola Sound Effects and the Google Play Music Player. I installed this MOD made by ibanez7 and it worked in my Moto G.
REQUERIMENTS:
Backup your data
CWM or TWRP Recovery
Root
For install, follow the instructions of the original post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48165168&postcount=337).
NOTE:
Everything works, except Edit Music Info and Download Music Info, I recommend delete the file (system/app/SemcMetadataCleanup.apk) in the Walkman ZIP before flash for avoid FC's.
This MOD is incompatible with another audio MOD's, in this case the Motorola audio effects app is visible but FC's. I recommend uninstall or disable the Motorola audio effects app for avoid FC's and incompatibilities.
The Sound Enhancements Equalizer is compatible with Google Play Music Player.

Did you feel any audio improvement?

Yes, I did. I'm not a music professional, but definitely I feel that is better than the Motorola stock audio effects, specially I feel a difference in bass with Clear Bass feature.
Also I've tried with a bluetooth headphones and the effects works too, for me the improvement it's good.

This works really good!
I listen to music every day and i can hear a significant increase in sound quality when Clearaudio+ is enabled.
