[MOD][ICS] SRS Audio Effects - Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

Hi all
Here's SRS audio effects for ICS, originally released for X8 and X10 by paul-xxx here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582417
I own nothing for this except the modification of update.zip and a file inside (to get it working with Xperia arc).
This is a real sound enhancement, rather than the fake beats audio.
This should be working on stock ICS firmwares and stock-based ICS ROMs and it should be compatible with xLOUD.
It should also be compatible with other 2011 Xperia devices (those with xLOUD)
DO NOT INSTALL IF YOU HAVE SOUND ENHANCEMENT (THE WALKMAN ONE) THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE.
What it contains:
- SRS WOW
- SRS TrueBass
- Android Equalizer
- Android Normalizer
- EQ Pressets
- SRS Panel (Patched MusicFX)
Requirements:
- Android 4.0.1 or above (NO Gingerbread)
- Root permission
- The following systems files REMOVED (if they exist):
-- 1. /system/lib/soundfx/ and remove libcyanogen-dsp.so
-- 2. /system/lib/soundfx/ and remove libbundlewrapper.so
-- 3. /system/app/ and remove DSPManager.apk
-- 4. /system/app/ and remove MusicFX.apk
Install it:
Method 1
Download the attached zip and flash it in CWM
The above 4 system files will be removed automatically.
Method 2
Download the attached zip and copy the content to /system/ with correct permissions.
NOTE!
If you find the SRS options are disabled, insert your headphone.
If you don't insert headphone it will look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When headphone is inserted it will look like this:
SRS TrueBass requires nice headphones/speakers to attain bass enhancement.
With low-quality headphones/speakers it will only break the bass! With the stock headphones and the speaker of the phone you may not hear any improvement.
I tried and compared the effects with stock headphones and LiveSound, LiveSound sounded better than stock one.
Again, thanks to paul-xxx

As far as I remember I tried a stock walkman player port from Xperia s forum, from there I was able to access to srs panel but ofcource srs was not working and thus reverted back to stock,
So what do you suggest? Would that walkman player work with this mod or what do you suggest?

well anyone knows ??

No it doesn't work with stock music player because you can't open the srs panel using stock music player. You need the Google music player

There is one which works by replacing sound enhancement, still be warned the bass in this is no where near to the one in walkman s sound enhancement, and after using this you can't get the sound enhancement equ of walkman working without a nandroid restore
Thank you,
AEON

The first post is a little bit misleading, cause it was not working with the stock ICS player But after reading the thread I installed Google Music player and now it works satisfactory. You can make the volume a lot louder than the stock player (especially trebble) but never mind using the bass thing, the music gets distorted right away. But all in all I like it.

Not working on stock 4.0.4 431
can't use the google music player as it is not available in UK.
Any help to get it working I don't get any options in player, not see the control panel in the app draw.

-Here you go man, download, install and enjoy SRS stuff.
Google Music Player: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=934617&d=1331060911
Ps. sometimes there is a loud squeek in the headphones if you do some other stuff att the same time, but all in all, its a great mod (SRS).
Thanks heihei_ivan.
