improve O1's audio quality - Optimus One, P500, V General

How can i improve audio playback on o1..Add DSP effects and all on froyo itself m not waiting for a gingerbread port...tried the DSP manager doesnt work and plz plz find a way around for this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885535
i tried installing and also replacing stock app with root explorer ..neither works...plz i want to turn O1 into a sound machine..
Also Is there a s/w decoding based music player that offer awesome audio along with DSP effects like reverb etc...600MHz is powerful enough to produce good quality audio i believe..
EDIT: http://www.bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/
installing according to instructions at http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-dsp-equalizer-on-your-rooted-android-phone-with-froyo-stock-rom/ only leaves o1 audio-less i.e. replacing stock libaudioflinger.so ..messes up the audio
ALso i m not running stock ROM..However its noejn's mod of the stock rom ,Megatron... HElp i m an audiophile

I am also looking forward to more options, improvements and advancements in this area. A working dsp like application will be awesome. One can use equalizers in video also. Btw, does anybody know of an app that allows audio equalizers in videos?

But since the natural frequency response is not as good (not close to ideal as iphone or nokia 5800xm), how much would these apps help ?

Actually PowerAMps Eq is quite effective actually...n it reduces crosstalk too... poweramp's stereo sucks (isnt wide enough for my tastes)....
is anybody using gingerbread's music player on froyo??? Does it bring any changes

i use PowerAMP and i think its pretty cool. The EQ was great !

[Q] How To enable Stereo Widening in O1?

I am going to mod to a better ROM from one of those given in the development thread soon, but one thing they all fail to mention is whether their ROMs have enabled Stereo Widening or not. This feature is awesome in Galaxy 3. But LG Optimus One doesn't have it. So is there any trick to enable the enhancements or something similar so that we get the wide effects plus equalizer in the default android media player. As I don't remember seeing any other custom app having stereo widening either. >.<
the new android honeycomb player have the equalizer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885535
I have PowerAmp to use for equalizers. I need the DSP effects like Wide /Stereo Widening, Live, Concert Hall, etc etc
Search for dsp thread. The thread has both the apk and the zip file and also a lib so file. Kindly test it and give us your feedback.

[Tweak] MegaBass (bass enhancer)

I found in another forum a couple of files which allow us to add MegaBass, one of the most beloved features of Sony Ericsson's W(alkman) phone series. I bundled them in an update.zip to be flashed with Clockwork Mod, and given that they work in all Xperia phones, I've decided to spread them around
I hope it's useful!
MegaBass Installer
MegaBass Uninstaller
*Note* I didn't make these files nor am I savvy enough to discuss their effect. They've been tested in most models with success, though, so again, I distribute them in the hope that they can be useful.
Does this increase the bass more than equalizer does with the bass booster setting? And does it only work with headphones too?
EDIT: Hmm I don't really hear a difference..

Hi there!
I've stumbled upon a couple of files which have been found to add the MegaBass feature, trademark of the old W phone series of Sony Ericsson, to the Xperia line. It's been tried successfully on both Xperia X8 and Xperia Play, so I'm confident that it can be of help.
I hope it's useful!

Awesome logs
You want (superior) MegaBass? Buy a SE W580i
Or if you want to stay with Play, I recommend for everyone to use THIS application.
Buy it (or not, but supporting dev is nice) and have fun with AWESOME bass effects.
Here are the amazing settings I use on my X10i:
Bass boost: 50%
EQ
1st band: +10 dB
2nd band: +6 dB
3rd band: 0 dB
4th band: +2 dB
5th band: +4 dB
(these are a bit too massive use below softer options instead for the sake of you hearing)
Bass boost: 45% (recommended value, but set it as you desire)
EQ
1st band: +8 dB
2nd band: +3 dB
3rd band: 0 dB
4th band: +2 dB
5th band: +4 dB
Added uninstaller.
does this work on CYnaongen?
I can't see anything..no options in settings, music player, anywhere.
There are no options or the like. it's just a tweak in the music player.
this affects all music players right? like playerpro ?
Regardless , i applied the tweak , thanks for anyone who made it

I've had all kinds of responses from the different Xperia forums... From "this is mind blowing" to "this doesn't work". I'm puzzled to say the least.
OMG!!!!
I love listening to music, this is the main reason why I still stick myself with iPod Classic. But right after I applied this, my Xperia Play has such a great improvement in Bass and it totally increase my music experience with this little monster! I don't store a lot of music in my SD Card as I mainly use my iPod Classic but I have scrolled through many songs in my Play and their bass are super good now! I could really feel a huge different in Kamikaze - Owl City!
This is the best tweak I've met so far. You will need such a hi-end headset too enjoy the improvement here.
Thank you very much. VERY VERY VERY Recommended for the music lovers!

Thanks Logseman, This works just great with the headphones i have.

seriously, i can't notice any difference using unlocked power amp and equalizer and a beats studio headphone, if there is uhmm maybe very negligible..
but thanks for this tweak
Cant hear any changed thing..

people need to report their results using the standard built in media player, maybe no difference in third part apps like poweramp

Just a thought, you might not notice the difference with poweramp as it has its own built in equaliser which is quite good IMO. Did you try the stock media player? also try disabling any other equalisers you have and ensure no other media player is running.
Also would be nice to know which versions of android people are testing this on.

Jet Audio. The PowerAMP killer?

found an awesome new music player replacement for poweramp...can't wait for more updates!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetappfactory.jetaudio&feature=search_result
how is it better then PowerAMP? (which i use and is really awesome).
i would replace it only for something lighter, more "basic" and easy to use.
all i really need is a library and a possibility to search.
as of now this seems more cpu intensive... sound setting for optimal output seems difficult and not upto poweramp or music+dsp. although lots of features and settings are present. have to keep an eye on it. definitely not a poweramp killer atm

it's personal taste really. I was a long time poweramp user too, but the 2.0 update I feel just made it too bloated. but hey to each his own.
jet audio provides way more sound tuning features for an audiophile (more than just bass, treble, and equalizer), and I'm currently using that. hopefully it gets even better with updates. if not, then i'll return to poweramp
Ttpod is a very able replacement as free player as it allows folder play as few do

[Q]i want music player which makes me hear the bass?

hi guys ive got glxy s2, but i cant hear low fq basses using default player.. which player can do that? give me a link to download... which is the best? to make me feel good
power amp
You can always find and install dspmanager apk.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
n7player!!!
there is no "the best" music player. Someone swear for that app someone for another. There are just opinions about these players.
Anyway, i would give a +1 to poweramp, and I'd mentioned Cloudbreaker. It is also a nice one, I think. I used to use poweramp as well as nhely, just after 30 days it didnt work for free, and i should bought it to use it again (maybe for ever).
I would NOT recommend winamp!
And yes, u can install that dspmanager, and u can use EQ. But if u are a "whiteear", then u dont wanna do it. In that way u kill the music. Try to use quality head/earphones just like AKG, Senheiser. It matters a lot, trust me!
+1 for poweramp aswell
Best Bass Music App
How about the ported Beats Audio apk from the HTC Rezound?? Doesn't that give you all the EQ adjustments that made that phone so special?

After installing beats dsp manager crashing!!!

only way is to restore a backup (because you DID a backup prior to install beats, didn't you?)
As I said, at that time I m a noob. so no backup. I think i have to reinstall rom. is there any need of dsp manager? music is going on fine. I just want to remove that error of dsp crash.
Sent from Atrix 4G.
Nah, there is no need of dsp (althroug, this is subjetive).. to get rid of that message try disabling dsp effects on android settings, so it won't try to load on boot..
in fact, on my atrix, whenever i enable dsp effects i get the effects plus a very annoying background noise... so i didn't miss it when i installed beats...
The dsp manager is crash because you use the equalizer
You have uninstall the app and afted reinstall the app
P.S. Dont use the equalizer
Sorry bad english

Beats and DSP manager are mutually exclusive, it's a widely known fact. Just like the fact you don't actually need either. Just like the fact you should ALWAYS make backups no matter what, regardless of your level of expertise. Every tutorial and procedure says that but unfortunately hardly anyone listens.
If you only want to get rid of the crash errors, just delete /system/app/DSPManager.apk (or similar, depending on your system) with a root-level file manager.
thanks ravilov & andresrivas, now i m not getting any errors. From know on I will backup my rom before any nasty experiment!! Is there any way to enhance the quality of music in Atrix 4G??
Sent from Atrix 4G.
you're welcome
enhance even more? humm.. you could try a different player, but of all that i've tested, connected music player had the best quality (yes, the stock motorola player).
Also, the quality of the rip makes almost the 90% of the diff... i can pass you a couple of very high quality mp3 so you can see what im talking about

Hi. Am new to this forum. Am too facing the same problem as sumit77seo and haven't taken any rom backup. As suggested by ravilov, I checked my /system/app and there is no dspmanager.apk. when I try to run apps like folder player or equalizer, it crashes. Pls advice me how to resolve this.

Ok, no offence here, but if you ask to have a beautiful sound even after dsp manager or beats mod is because you actually LOVE to hear music with your phone!
As far as i know, we are listening mp3 at 292kb/s and from that point (I'm a sound mixer/masterer for my music band and quality past that point will mostly NOT be noticeable for any low quality headphones ! I got shurf proffessionnal studio wich cost me 350$ and a normal pair of Sony headphone that cost me 45 and there is no major difference after testing with Sony's but but i admit that there is a huge differences with my proffessional headphones with the sampling play rate!
I supposed if he tried with dsp and with beats and not yet satisfied ,i guess he didn't really want stock player and high quality mp3, unless he is having a good pit of headphones and a good amount of SD card space to contain high quality mp3 past over 320kb/s with an bipollarising ......
Ad i understand, you need power and softness on your phone sound as far as i understand ...
So this way going to be your player apk
Let me say that if you have a couple of buks to use in a player on the store, you are going to enjoy it !
I use to play music a lot with ny mono bluetooth and AFAIK mono BT are made to talk ! Not to listen music .... but i did use poweramp, with sound noddulling and it is amazing after a couple of tweaks within the player equaliser and the stereo enhencer and : WOW !
I can say that there are aany out there but for me after 20 bucks of trying different knowned paid music apk, power amp is really the best !
Soo, my suggestion : as andresrivas said, make sure that your mp3 quality are at a good level
And have a powerfull music player on your phone! The mod is kinda helping but .... not really as powerfull as tweaks with player equalizer !
A small fact : once, I've connected my atrix soundcard trough the headphone Jack into the aux in on a DJ table in a nightclub (le shack) and using poweramp, my everyday equalizer, he didn't touch anything on his table equalizer, and the sound was great! Lot of bass, crystal clear sound .... He seriously told me that my output was better than his iPhone! So, i guess we got to be proud of our atrix

best way is flashing a backup or another rom.. in your case, you must flash the stock rom..
you could also try to delete data for folder player and not using its internal eq or dsp...

you got me right, I need soft and powerful sound. :thumbup:
So u are telling me to use Poweramp but with some tweaks. Can u explain the tweaks. to me
Currently I am using a player called noozy(not in the market) https://www.box.com/s/pkvfwflqlvd553p1mgtl
can you compare noozy with poweramp so I can decide to buy poweramp. I m very thankful to you.

Thanks for the clarifications. I tried what u suggested but still then the market apps folder player and equalizer crash. I didn't take backup of rom and have learnt my 1st lesson . Do up know what files need to be restored after uninstalling beats ? Can those stock rom files be downloaded?

Is your device rooted?? If yes then why stock rom, there are plenty excellent roms out there.

If I m helpful dont hesitate to thank me.
i have no idea whixh files instalss/modify, but i intend to look at it on my spare time... as states on the app, eq apps dont work..
ive checked the logcat for the fc of folder player and it tries to activate a internal effects manager... thats why it crash...
