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 !
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!

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.
Not an unusual problem by the looks of it but sooooo annoying and soooo many options to try and fix the problem.
(edit - just to clarify, its more of a skidding than a skipping - the sound/rhythm is stretched and short of shudders like when a CPU is under-load with other apps running, but I've currently got over 100MB at idle.)
I've read the following forum which has so many options in it and a lot of good info so I'm going to slowly work through a few of the options with my Xperia and see what might solve the skipping issue.
http://androidforums.com/incredible-support-troubleshooting/72913-music-player-skipping-cause.html
I initially started using the stock player that came with the Neo and noticed it skipping every now and then but then yesterday when coming home from a music festival with a few new albums it came to time to STOP the skipping.
I always copy files from original CD's at the highest quality and then drag and drop them directly into the folder on the SD card to cut out any other application adding its musical interpretation into the tracks with missed data and timing etc (this is a practice I started years ago so hopefully the tracks are the best they can be)
So from here I start fiddling with the device......
1) I noticed that I dont get any skipping when using ES File Explorer to play the files but the problem ES File explorer is that it doesn't appear to have a shortcut directly to its media player and I dont want to have to go hunting for files EVERY time I want to play music.
2) So now I've started Meridian just as a test and it definately made an improvement = less skipping but still some
3) So I"ve moved Meridian to System App as suggested in the Forum and I'm running the player and keeping a close ear on it to see if it skips.
If it does the next step will be to start using "AnTuTu CPU Master Free" and setting it to start from boot and set it to raise the minimum processor level to around 400 MHz
If anybody who actually knows about this stuff has any ideas I'd be interested in hearing them.
I dont know why EX file explorer plays the files better than anything else I've tried - I have made it a system (ages ago) but I would also like to know what it uses for media playing? is it using its own complete of settings or whatevers? or is it piggy backing off the standard player? If I uninstall the standard player will ES still work?
If ES is using its own settings - how does it take control of things so well that the skipping stops?
What other media players take majority of control and ----------dam it just skipped, so I'm rewinding to see if its the track.............nope---------(ok onto the next plan and increasing processor idle speed.
4) Increased Idle speed to as close to 400 as I can and 3 min later - still skipping! c##p
Now what? I'm going to go away and think about this some more - if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
I'm trying to replicate your fault but so far its been playing pretty well, Havn't noticed any skipping, stutters or whatever for the last hour or so.. I did notice a slight jitter when I first started up the music player (Stock) but that was just on startup.. now its rock solid.
you might have some service/App running in the background thats causing some CPU strain or memory hogging momentarily.. I would suggest checking your logcat either with adb terminal or an app that can show you your logcat. check this to see if your getting any low memory warnings or any other errors.
I'll start up a bunch of services and apps and see if I can get my music to skip, Ill also search my music collection for the highest bitrate files I can find (might be that I just use lower bitrate MP3's and so they don't strain the RAM and CPU as much as your high bitrate ones)
I'll let you know if I can get my music skipping like yours.

I've experienced this before, turns out it was the SD Speed Increase app settings that was causing the trouble. Apparently, if I change the setting to anything other than the stock (128 [bytes allocation unit?]), my music would randomly stutter/skid. Left it to stock and never installed it again. I hope this helps.
I've had it too, using UberMusic and CPU Tuner. The problem is not the minimum cpu speed, because the cpu will be running full speed when the screen is on (or more than the minumum). With the screen off profile, my cpu is running at 122MHz, and still no stuttering.
I think the problem is caused by low RAM. Uninstall any unneccesary app and try if the problem persists when you're not multitasking.
I've experienced the same problem a few times using stock music player.. but recently I downloaded google music and never experienced it again... you might want to try this app since it's made by google and ui design is awesome!(ics like)
I've been listening to music for 3 straight hours now, I've managed to get it to stutter twice, once opening a news app (CPU strain while updating web pages?) and once when I opened a file explorer (I repeated that action several times since and couldn't get it to repeat the fault) logcat on both occasions mentioned an error: DMAMISSED 32 for the audio driver. In computer terms DMA means "direct memory access" or the newer version Ultra DMA. this is a little chip that accesses external memory (firstly directed by the CPU but then it frees the CPU up to do other stuff while its reading away, kinda like having a second cpu just for reading your music, but it still needs to get commands from the CPU) and I'm guessing that the missed 32 error is the DMA not getting the message from the CPU in time, perhaps the CPU is busy with something else? or whatever, I'm going to suggest running lower bitrate mp3's and see if it still stutters as much (if at all) try ripping a cd at or under 192kbps stereo or even 128kbps.. What bitrate are you running now? 320kbps? Or variable bitrate? Still not sure if its the problem but would help to eliminate it.
DMA Errors could also be caused by an SD card fault.. might be worth trying another card and seeing if it stutters.

I wouldn't have a clue about this bit-rate thing your talking about - how do I check this?
I've also stopped using the CPU minimum speed thing because I think it caused my phone to totally crash and not display any menu's at all - so had to re-install from clockwork mod boot.
When I'm listening to music I'm not ever doing anything in the background with the phone - it just sits on the table or on the seat of the car - this is when it skips.

thanks for the feedback - currently I have 61 mB free on ROM and 86 MB internal and then 1.37 GB on SD. Also I'm not doing anything else with the phone when the skidding occurs.

Situation summary..............
1) Minimum processor speed app removed due to possible fatal error and notes above suggesting no difference (which is what I thought also).
2) SD speed increase app removed
3) Still running Meridian player due to user friendliness and less skidding - (might go back to stock app to help create more skidding so I can isolate the problem.
4) Track bit-rates might be too high - I will try this as a last resort once I've tried the other options.
5) Try another SD card - hmmm maybe I'll try this another day when I've got some spare cash
In my case, the track bit rates aren't a problem since I often have 320kbps and variable bit rate mp3 files being played in the stock music player and I experience no jitter/skidding.
Ok -
* Instant skidding using Stock Media player with "SD speed increase" app uninstalled.
I'm also running
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.freeb.automm
Would this cause skidding?
Now I'm going to re-rip the CD I'm listening to at a lower rate and see how that goes.
----right I've done that and also realized that when I put the original music files on my phone I hadn't converted them from WAV to MP3 so they were huge files. I've now re-ripped the cd in WAV and then converted the files to MP3 so now the files are approx 3 MB instead of 30 MB.
So now I will play them on the stock player and see how they respond.
that has been happening to me ever since i updated to .42 and i didnt know whether it was because i was fiddling with the phone (rooting, installing ics them which .62 reset to SE GRRR ) or whether it was just the amount of music and i had recently added Kasabians new album Velociraptor .. it was really ("was" hehe) especially because i would play it in the car connecting it to a jack lead on my radio .. and it was driving (no pun intended lol) me mad .. but then today i found my mini mp3 dock and though id plug it in and whack a few songs Foo Fighters and the like .. and I swear it didnt jump/skid/skip/slip once .. it was perfect .. and this was all before i updated to .62 about 10mins ago .. hopefully its all ok .. gotta check and make sure its still rooted
anyway thats my version of events .. peace out

Thanks for your input.....are you trying to say that you dont get any skipping when you use the mini mp3 dock rather than the jack lead?
I get skidding both through the lead and through Bluetooth.
Since reducing the size and format of the files I've not had any skidding or skipping.
Hey guys I've been using player pro on my Android devices pretty much since release but It's getting to the point that I would like to see what else is out there. I've heard power amp getting kicked around these forums a lot so what's its like does it live up to the hype and if you have used both which is better?

I never tried Player Pro..
All I can share here, I tried default google player, default music player from samsung galaxy s3, and also jetAudio plus, no one can beat PowerAmp, for me..
I purchased the license, and never regret that..
U should try the trial version..
I'd pay at least double again to keep using power amp.
Power Amp for me, as it has the ability to keep the screen alive. So when I'm driving, i can glance at the handset in the cradle and see what's happening.
I like PowerAmp and I think it's the superior player overall, but I use PlayerPro for one particular reason - You can set it to only list your music by Album Artist in the library, rather than Artist, which is great if you have mixtapes and compilations.

poweramp 4 T W use it since i got my first droid!
Poweramp is an extremely well build music machine and uses its own build-in amp. + skins..
Playerpro has an easy UI and got an external dsp manager(dl. via market) * skins
Both perform very well and its a matter of taste.
Neutron is another music player(maybe the best) but very clumsy UI and hard to set up,because its has so many options..
My favorite is poweramp

I use Mortplayer!!! it has great options!!
Poweramp has the ability to read my mind...just has an awesome shuffle! just wish it worked like it use to for me. since flashing all these JB roms, dlg4 dlh4 dlh8 & li1now, all my playlist i create keep getting erased-or all the songs in the playlist are removed from the lists. very frustrating. have been searching xda for days. have no fc or issues otherwise with PA.
Hi!
I have a question about these two players and also Winamp Pro. I was using MortPlayer till now, but now it's time to change my player. I tried Winamp Pro, it's great but sometimes I find it slow when browsing folders (I have a 32 GB SD card full of music). SQ is great.
But the most important thing that I want to know is which of those uses the least resources (CPU and RAM)? I have Xperia X10i with ****ty stock gingerbread (2.3.3) (is not rooted) and I have problems with twitching, which is just going on my nerves.
Thanks
I like poweramp and I bought it a while back, though I seem to prefer a more clean/basic player. I think I like Google Play Music as a music player.

with power amp you can select different buffer sizes which should stop skipping(I presume that is what you meant by twitching?!)
I tend to go between the two. I prefer poweramp but player pro is very good - I might well go back to playepro for a bit.

Yes. Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker so I'm using google translator very often My music skips when I have less than 100 MB free RAM, and sometimes it skips all the time, but mostly on screen lock/unlock. I'm currently playing with PowerAmp and I think that I will use it as my main music app. I set the priority to highest and enlarged buffer size so no skipping for now. I will try it for a few days and probably buy it.

The sound in Pro Player is a little bit strange, while listening on my hi-fi. I gave up from Winamp Pro because I get force close very often. And PowerAmp seems to use less RAM (28MB) instead of WinampPro (34MB). But one question; poweramp doesn't have exit, so when I stop the music and "exit" from player, it's still in running apps taking 18MB !??? Is it possible to exit power amp so it's not anymore in running aps? I don't want my player to run in background while I don't use it!
EDIT: double fail! I came from Google and didn't see that this topic is for Samsung. Fail 2: I forget to turn on DSP in Player Pro. I think I will use it for now. Thanks!
Somewhere I saw beats zip, so I just installed it, I am a new noob then . After that there was no beats icon or install indication of beats and also I lost my dsp manager. Now I cant open dsp mnager and after every boot dsp force closed. How can I fix this???

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.

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??

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...

Currently I am using a player called noozy(not in the market) https://www.box.com/s/pkvfwflqlvd553p1mgtl

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.
