After making changes to systemui.apk and pushing it to my phone, dspmanager no longer works with HTC music player. Is there any way to fix this? I cannot listen to music without dspmanager. I am currently using community rom rc5 but also had the same issue on kingdom rewind. I have tried doing a nandroid restore to where I had made no changes to the files on the phone but it will only work until I reboot.
Edit: I have tried several other music players and the result is the same. Also, the volume now needs to be higher than normal without dsp
Anyone know anything about this?
What changes did you make to SystemUI? Did you try putting the original SystemUI that came originally with your ROM to see if DSP works normally?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I tried both putting the original SystemUI back and a nandroid restore but neither worked. The restore only works until the phone is rebooted, then the problem shows up again.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 with Wind Mobile. Recently Updated to 4.4.2 and rooted with Towel Root. Everything was good until TitaniumBu couldn't access the externalSD card.
I tried using a couple of xposed modules (Handle External Storage & then KitKat SD Card Full Access), but they didn't allow Titanium to access the SD card either.
So I tried the manual method of modifying platform.xml (also changed permissions on the modified file) but I have the same issue as some other people I've read about (bluetooth stopped working, whatsapp crashed, maps, youtube, play store, titanium backup, touchpal keyboard, web browsing all stopped working). Also when I connect my phone to my PC, the phone and the sd are shown as empty.
I tried copying back the original platform.xml that I had saved and still no luck.
I'm not worried about the titanium accessing the sd card right now. I'm just trying to get the apps and bluetooth working. Anybody have any other ideas?
Try ktoonsez' kt747 kernel.
Thanks

Thanks for the info Doc, but I'm not too confident flashing kernels (never done it) so I ended up wiping everything and starting from scratch. I installed? kitkat 4.2.2 and then rooted again with towelroot.
I then installed SD fix and TWRP, but the funny thing is that when I restarted my phone, I no longer had wifi.I tried a few things that I found in XDA and on other websites, but I couldn't get wifi back.
So then I redid everything again. Kit Kit & towel root, but no TWRP, no external sd fixes, and I am able to use my phone. The problem for me is that my apps have no access to the extSD and I can't do a back up without that access. I'm thinking that the extsd fixes that i have tried over the last few days mess something up with my phone. Or maybe towel root & the fixes are not good together? Maybe I should have used Root 66 like I used before?
I don't want to risk messing anything up right now, so I'm just going to wait around, and see if anyone else runs into my problems.
Thanks again.
Towelroot, or any other root method shouldn't have any effect on the actual operation of the device. What is happening is there are new seLinux security enhancements built in to kk. Apps can now only read/write to folders they create/own. If another app created the folder, or if it was created by the owning app before the new security was implemented, seLinux will not allow that app to use it. More and more people are having problems even after the platform.xml edit which makes me believe its got to be done before flashing, or a factory reset may be needed. Im not sure on that right now.
The platform.xml edit is only for the external sdcard btw. You have to disable seLinux to solve this on the internal one. (Looks like this may also be true for external now, but like I said, im not sure about that yet)
There's an app in the store, I think its called sdfix, or sdfixer or something similar (search seLinux mode changer) that people have had some success with, so try that first.
Alternatively, I can mod the stock kernel to disable seLinux there. (May do this today anyway).
It's perfectly fine if you're not comfortable flashing kernels, but its really nothing to be too worried over. A custom one like ktoonsez kt747, will flash and run normally, and you have the option to learn more if you like so you can configure it how you want.
If you have any specific concerns about it, feel free to ask us. But in the end its up to you if you still want to refrain from flashing one.
Another thing you can try is to rename the apps folders, then reinstall it and let it recreate them. Then copy the contents of the old into the new. Not totally sure it would work as I expect, but in theory it should.
Anyway, if nothing else, try that app I mentioned. And let us know how ut goes!
Thanks Again

Thanks again for your response.
I tried sdfix and thats when my wifi got messed up.
I've spent 2 days getting my phone almost back to where it was before, so I think I'll wait a few days/weeks before I mess with it again.
Thanks for the explanation, but sooner or later I think I will try the ktoonsez kt747.
I'll update here whenever I try something.
Thanks again. Your help is appreciated.

FYI Doc. I tried the updated KitKat SD Card Full Access (version 1.2) Xposed module that came out today. It worked, and now Titanium can back up to my external SD card. Finally.
Thanks for letting us know! I don't use xposed so wouldn't have known about it otherwise. Still, I am sorry you had so much trouble with all of this and that I couldn't help you better. Glad to hear you finally got it sorted out though!
Thanks Doc

No worries. I browse XDA a lot, and I see your answers, and they're always helpful. I appreciate all your help.
Hello. the volume rocker button and the Back button do not work during any kind of audio/video playback. They function properly once I stop or pause the playback.
I can not get to the bottom of this since I uninstalled all xposed modules and apps that I think might have been causing this. I am running the "ERA project mod" along with viper4android. I know for certain the butons had been working with these mods running. I have no idea what happened
Any advice is appreciated

What I would advise you, is to make a proper backup, then wipe the dalvik cache, cache, system, reinstall the ROM and then try to put back the backup.
See if its working, if not, maybe one of your modules, when you uninstalled it, it messed with some files.
But I still think the first step is to backup your files and do a clean install.

Thanx for your suggestion...
Surely that would be my last resort.
I'm actually trying to avoid that and see if anyone with a similar problem actually found out what's causing it and found a way to remedy it.
It would also be great to actually know how to prevent it from happening in the future. Right now I have no idea thus I may run into the same problem after re-installing ROM
solved

Hi everyone; I've a rooted Desire HD running TakTik 4.4.2 and the audio doesn't sound right when I run a game or play music. The ROM came with DSP Manager which was uninstalled when I flashed AwesomeBeats. What I wanted to know: is there a way to restore any kind of equalizer that I set up when DSP was installed, back to how my DHD should sound? If I remember right, my equalizer was pretty much maxed out with DSP but now I get some 'bits' of sound missing or not sounding right when playing games etc. I've tried most of the ROM's from the kind devs here and I really want to stay with TakTik so I don't want to flash another if at all possible. (or reflash TakTik) Thanks

Are you trying to restore TakTik's sound or the stock ROM's sound?

Hi bananagranola, thanks for replying; I'm not 100% happy with TakTik's sound, for some reason (it might be my DHD) it doesn't sound right so I suppose I'm looking to put the phone back to stock sound if possible. I did another clean install of TakTik yesterday and it's still the same and I've kinda experimented with other equalizers, even Beats and stuff.
Stock sound needs a stock ROM. If you just want to go back to Taktik sound, just flash the ROM again without wiping. Since it's the same ROM it's not going to be dirty.

Thanks, yeah, I've done that. Is there nothing that's compatible with 4.4.2 that I can flash like Beats or something? . Just anything that will take out DSP etc and change the whole sound experience but keeping TakTik?
That would be a pretty extensive mod, and I don't know of another one. Maybe someone else does.

Ok, thanks for your help. Will keep looking :fingers-crossed:
However you want.....I should suggest you to try out Viper4Android.
It's an .apk so either you place it into /system/priv-apps folder using Root Explorer or ES File manager. Or simply install as .apk file remove DSP Manager along with dspwrapper libs on system/lib/soundfx. Once that done reboot your device.
After reboot you should be able to see Viper4Android in your app drawer so choose it wisely which setting you're looking for in your device. Even you may have Stock kinda feeling on Any of your custom rom. For more information head over to Viper4Android thread links below;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Use different .irs files to customize the outcomes of sound.
Optionally:
Sample of readymade profiles are in my sign. Check them out.
'Njoy.

With V4A you can customize quality sound with whole new level.Here's some tips as below;
-Menu > UI Setting > Expert mode
-Under Convolver click on Impulse responce,it will make a folder in your sd card named Viper4Android and subfolder Kernel where you've to put .irs files.
All possible .IRS files you'll find under this thread below;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216193
Place .irs one by one and check which sound outcomes matches your taste. Once you pick one then you may further dig into it and make your own custom profile for Viper4Android.
Initially you might find it hard with setting up profile and other things but unless you try out yourself, you'll never ever enjoy the quality music.
***Plenty of Paid and Free .irs are available on Internet as well as here on xda so try looking more into it. I use HTC Beats Audio ((Z-Edition)) and beats pro+srs

I just wanted to say thanks to dr.patron99 and bananagranola for their help. Problem solved; I changed to Gimmeabreak ROM (which incidentally is the best ROM I've used to date, and I've tried pretty much all of them). Sadly, my DHD is going to be passed to my son as I'm getting a new phone soon but I really wanted to say a huge thanks to all here at XDA for their advice and guidance, especially those developers who have given so much time and energy. Thanks.
Hi guys
i used V4A on all of my 1+ devices. Started from the 1+1, 5, 7Pro and now i own the 9 Pro.
The phone is rooted with a patched img, Magisk 24.3 installed, stock recovery.
OOS Version is 11.12.10.10
Somehow i cant get V4A get to work. The phone is in a constant "Install Driver" Loop.
V4A i used for all attempts is 2.7.2.1 (i did download the file 2 or 3 times so that i can be sure there isnt any error in the download)
What i tried so far.
Deinstalled all Magisk Modules - reboot - V4A installed - Driver loop
Installed AML followed by V4A - Driver loop
Audio Compatibility Patch - V4A - driver loop
AML - JamesDSP - V4A - driver loop
replaced the post-fs-data.sh file what was recomended in another thread.
Does smoebody have a solution for my problem?
Try audio compatibility patch + audio modification library + ainur narsil, that works for me
Just in case you didn't achieve it yet: I used AML 4.1+JamesDSP4.4+V4A (with a reboot between every module); then I replaced post-fs-data.sh and everything works without problem.
Gonna try both. Will give feedback.

It worked! I had been trying for months now...
Now the app is not detecting my profiles... (Used with same version of v4a on oos11 and already moved to the new location)
Yes, it happened to me as well. I just had luck I had my profiles working in another device, so I copied them setting to setting. Uncomfortable but works.

Thanks, I'll try it out. I've been using JamesDSP all this time, since I can't get V4A to work, and while it's good, it's been a little wonky. If the music is playing, some notification sounds disturb JamesDSP FX. You can hear it disables then enables itself after the notification. I'm hoping there won't be such an issue with V4A
Just need to figure out where this file is placed
