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.

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.
All the apk needed are in attachment, you can download it and decompress.

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"

What did you use? I have just used WinDroid Universal Toolkit to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and root the phone. It worked, although it did take me a while to get it sorted due to issues with the drivers.
Everything seems to be working.
I hope it can help.
I have the same model, chinese version.
open HTC market, and look for GMS.... app.
download it, launch it, and when required enter the code *#*#.....
it will download somethink like 150M, your mobile will reboot, and at the end you'll find all google app in your mobile.
done.
without root, unlock or other
PLease can you write detaily ? What you said is unclear for me.
1. What do you mean with HTC Market ? I do not have HTC Market. It is called AppMarket and all in Chinese.
2. There are lots of GSM apps there and nothing worked in AppMarket.
Can you put url here ?

6) the app will download more or less 190M. be sure to be connected to a wifi
7) when done, you'll be required to enter the code *#*#442#*#* in the phone dialer

Hi,
No official international rom so far (I doubt if it's planned, this phone's target is Asia)
Convenient solution is to flash GAPPS on top of existing software (without erase, just clear cache). Base package can be found at htcui[dot]com//androidrom/htc_820_rom [replace dot] - look for BillGates-li tread (you may need to use chrome with translation, as it's all Chinese). I'm sorry for confusion, but due to rookie rank, I'm not allowed to post external links.
Beware, each major upgrade (that flashes, not patches) will erase those GAPPS.
You'll need:
- customer recovery .img (can be found in orygnial android development section)
- fastboot (to flash i.e. install it)
- (suggested) original recovery.img (to enable future upgrades from HTC, that will download but not install on custom recovery)
Don't forget to backup before flashing - "just'n'case".

GMS App not working
Hi, just bought an HTC 820us, and just like everyone, no google apps. What's weird is that my phone is not even recognized by HTC sync manager, Windroid, HTC tool, fastboot under command line or any other program.
I'm unable to get this device's token in order to unlock the bootloader and install google apps, root, etc. When I try to install the GMS app I get an "App not installed error". If anyone finds a solution for this i'll be more than happy to donate to the cause.
Thanks for reading!
same device, no google play too...

well, I have the same device since two days and I still try to install google play without success yet. it is possible at all or I can just use a limited version of this smartphone?
this is my first android phone and I have no idea what to do...any suggestions are welcome
found a solution
Ok, so after dealing with this phone for a while I found many solutions for the common problems of having an imported phone from china.
I found solutions for: Google Apps, Root, CallerID mismatch (Contacts not recognized when receiving calls due to chinese format of their CallerID)
- How to install Google Apps
1. Do a Factory Reset of your phone in the recovery screen (volume down+power button)
2. Download the GMS安装器 apk in your computer from google or any other source, make sure it's the apk with the android robot with the google apps logo in it. (app is no longer distributed in the included App Market)
3. Tranfer the downloaded file to a SD card (32gb maximum size or else it wont be recognized)
4. Insert the SD card in your phone
5. Using the "File Transfer" app in your phone copy the GMS app to the phone's "Download" folder.
6. Enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings/Security/Device Administration
7. Install the App, DON'T RUN IT. (Installation failed for me at first, a factory reset solved this)
8. Unmount the SD Card
9. Using the "File Transfer" app, install the GMS apk
10. Follow the instructions the GMS app is giving you, remember to remove the SD card before installation
11. The app will download something like 200mb, after that it will ask you to enter a code in your phone's dialer, enter it, it will automatically will reboot.
12. If you are lucky, the phone will have all Google Apps installed.
- Root
Once you have Google apps installed, it's easier for some root exploits to work.
1. Use Kingo Root for windows, it will try many methods of Rooting your device, the one that worked used an installation of various apps. Kingo root needed "USB Debugging" activated in Settings/Developer Options. If you don't have the Developer options menu enabled, please google it.
Once you have Root access it's easier to remove the Chinese apps that came with the phone.
- How to fix the CallerID not recognizing contacts problem
1. Download and Install "ES File Explorer" using the Google Play Store app.
2. Allow Root access when prompted to.
3. Head over to the "Tools" menu using the button in the upper left corner of the "ES File Explorer" app.
4. Enable "Root Explorer"
5. Click on "Root Explorer"
6. Click on "Mount R/W
7. Set "/system" to the RW value.
8. Press OK
9. Navigate to: Local, then /Device/system
10. Look for file named: "build.prop" and open it
11. Open it using ES Note Editor
12. Edit the file (using the 3 dots menu on the upper right corner)
13. Find the entry named: ro.phone.min_match=11 and change the number to 7.
14. Entry has to be named ro.phone.min_match=7
15. Press the return button, it will ask you to save changes, save them.
16. Just in case, remove the RW access mentioned in step 7.
17. Go to Settings/apps/all/ contacts and force stop, clear data
18. Do the same with the Contact Storage App.
19. Reboot Phone, cross your fingers and problem is solved.
I hope this helps a lot of people.
BTW: My phone is an HTC 820us, China Mobile.

I describe here how to get GAPPS for HTC D820US and maybe for any other "China-smartphone"
1_: Unmount the SD Card
2_: go to nduoa.com/package/detail/225445 with Chrome
3_: Right click on the page > translate to english
4_: Choose the green button next to blue one and above the other three green ones to download a small file called com.gmainstaller.apk
5_: install it
6_: this apk will download a file of abt. 246MB and needs following code in the dialer which pop-ups automatically [ code: * # * # 442 # * # * ]
7_: The device automatically restart and automatically install GAPPS, after the completion of all applications please check the list.
8_: if needed after all, download separately from "apkmirror.com" following two apk's: Google Play Services and Google Play Store.
