Audio Settings

[johnomaz]

I noticed that you can no longer set the EQ in the Sound Settings menu. I remember seeing an app on Rubix 1.6 called DPMS (I think that is what it was called, can't recall off hand for sure) and its icon looked like equalizer bars from a receiver or something. Where can I get that app from?

Am I even making sense?

it's a lot easier to get it than you might think!!

download rubix 1.6, don't put it on to your phone tho. instead, open up the file with winrar, navigate to /system/apps or /data/apps (probably the first one) and find the equalizer. I do remember it starting with a "D", soemthing like DPS settings i think. Next, extract only that apk and put it onto your SD card, then go into root explorer and copy it into your /system/apps folder, set permissions to rw-r--r-- i believe... then reboot.

I might be mistaken, but IIRC the DSP manager no longer works on Focused.

It is missing the AudioEffectSettings.apk which I found in an older rom and loaded it in system/app then rebooted and now it is there.

awesome thanks.

which rom/version did you pull it from? and does it actually change the sound or just show the options now but still do nothing?

I think I pulled it from the Apex rom and yes it works correctly...tried it in my Jeep earlier as a matter of fact dancedroid

Just to confirm, does this still work with 1.9.0?

I am still on 1.8.9 so I am unsure if it works on 1.9.0.

Yes this worked with 1.9.0 also

Try this one.. I believe it's a 2.2.1 version, so probably different than the one they've reported as working.. but should hopefully work (?).

It's a patch, so install via recovery (no wipe).

Sorry, I know this is a noob question but i'm a little confused and new at installing/updating ROMS in general... I'm in clockworkMod Recovery do I choose "install zip from sdcard"? Not, "apply sdcard:update.zip. Am I on the right track or going at this completely wrong? Thanks.

Since you stated that you're a bit new to it.. going to give a bit more detail than you may be looking for... but I'd rather mention something and have you not need it, than to leave it out.

Some ROMs have different install instructions than others. You DEF. want to make sure that you're following the install instructions for the ROM that you're installing! (I believe drod left the install instructions out from the 1.8.9 and 1.9.0 versions of Focused, so best place to look is the first post of the 1.8.6 thread, assuming that you're installing Focused, if not, look for instructions for your particular ROM.

If/when the instructions say to wipe data/cache, they will mean going into mounts/storage, and format cache, and format data. From the main menu will work as well to wipe cache and data, also resetting a couple of other things (won't hurt).. either is fine.

For installing the .ip, an update.zip is the way that packages/patches come from Moto/VZW usually, so there is an option for it in the menu.. however for ROMs, you can simply install .zip from SDCard, then choose .zip from SDCard, and select the .zip.

That should get you started.. Only other suggestion.. is that this thread is for an audio settings patch specifically for the Focused ROM. If you have specific questions regarding a ROM, make sure you post it in the ROMs thread, you'll get better/faster answers that way!

GL! and hope this helps!

Edit: after re-reading.. possible you were just asking how to install the patch... and are already on Focused.. sorry if I got confused.. lol

Uhmm, for patches, pretty much all of them are just going to be install .zip from SDCard, with no wiping at all...

HTH!!
