How to install DSPmanager on all roms
Descriptions:
DSP Manager is a fantastic application which can be used to achieve vibrating bass even with your stock headphones.
DSP Manager is like the HTC Beats sound enhancer, but taken to a whole new level. Sadly, this awesome application is not available in the Google Play store and you will need to put in a little bit more effort in order to get it working for your phone. Why? Because it’s part of CyanogenMod and will not work on stock ROMs by default.
However, in this article, I’ll show you how you can install the app on vanilla Android and HTC Sense, which should help you get it running on your own device regardless of which ROM you’re running – as long as you have root access.
Requirements:
Rooted device
Download:
Tested on:
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini
HTC Wildfire S
Denver TAC-10061
Installation:
Before installing. Please Backup:
1: 'SoundFX' folder (/system/lib/soundFX/)
2: 'audio_effects.conf' file (/system/etc/)
Or do the nandroid backup using custom recovery…
1: Download the file from above
2: Extract the DSPmanager.rar, Use a file browser of your choice (Root explorer, ES File Explorer, X-plore, etc...)
3: In the 'app' folder. There are 2 folders (DSPmanager v1.0 & DSPmanager v2.0). I recommended v1.0 because old DSP works on all apps so put the old DSPmanager.apk file on /system/app/ and change the permission to 644 (rw-r-r)
4: Put the 'audio_effects.conf' file on /system/etc/ and change the permission to 644 (rw-r-r)
5: Delete all stock .SO files in /system/lib/soundFX/ (It's safe)
6: Put all cyanogenmod .SO files on /system/lib/soundFX/ and change the permission to 644 (rw-r-r) on ALL .SO files in /SOUNDFX folder
Repeat: change the permission to 644 (rw-r-r) on ALL .SO files in /SOUNDFX folder
7: Reboot your phone (Don't quick reboot your phone)
8: Now start DSPmanager and change the settings you want and enjoy!
Tested on my HTC Wildfires, Galaxy S3 mini and Denver TAC-70061
Which Options Should I Set?
Even once you’ve got DSP Manager working on your phone, it’s still hard to get the settings right for the best possible sound. We’ll go through the options in turn.
First, you will find the Dynamic Compression option. You shouldn’t use this if you listen to modern music, as modern music is over-compressed in recording due to technological improvements in sound recording. Using dynamic compression will do nothing but distort the sound.
However, if you are a fan of music from the ’70s and ’80s, then this setting can be quite handy as these songs have not been compressed. (Do note that most remastered albums are over-compressed with sound editing so you shouldn’t use this for those.) A moderate level will be perfect and you will notice a significant increase in the sound; also, the sound is likely to get a bit more crisp.
Now to Bass Boost. Bass Boost is probably the fan favourite setting and is one of the major reasons why most people want this app on their phones. There are three levels: Slight, Moderate and Extreme. Basically, setting the bass doesn’t only depend upon the bass that you want, but it also depends on the type of headphones that you own. If you have high quality headphones such as Beats by Dr Dre, then Extreme bass will not distort the sound and yet you will be able to get beefier bass. However, if you select the Extreme option with stock or average headphones, then you will get nothing but distortion.
Now to the equalizer. Well, to be honest, the default presets are not bad at all. They have options for Rock, Further Bass and Treble.
You can also go for custom equalizer settings. If you raise the bars from left to right, along with moderate Bass Boost, you will get a very crisp sound along with heavy bass. Also, the highs and the treble will not be lost and the vocals will be clear. You can also play around with the bars in order to get the sound that you are looking for based on your preferences and the type of headphones that you own.
Lastly, there is the option for a “virtual room” effect, which offers several options, including Studio and Live Stage, which you can select between depending on the type of sound which you are looking for.
