[Patch] 32m Heap Size, + True Streaming Audio Fix

http://adrynalyne.stfuthxbye.net/n_patches/stagefright2.zip
So far, I have been given the thumbs up on this. I compiled it earlier today from aosp.
You can read about the fix here:
android.git.kernel.org Git - platform/frameworks/base.git/commit
This should work for any Froyo leak 2 based rom. Make a Nandroid backup, of course. If using on any other rom, use the patch from the SECOND post (and revert build.prop changes to stagefright stuff, if you made them).

Phone neutral Froyo patch:

Tested on Droid Incredible and Moto Droid.

thanks adrynalyne

Thanks much appreciated

So only changes are audio and heap size?

Just loaded it. Thanks

Right. The second post has just audio changes.

Thanks for this!

Is this built into any of your roms yet?

Its only been out 30 minutes.

Thanks a lot adrynalyne.

Thank you sir. your work is really appreciated.
Edit: should I say: your works are really appreciated.

So froyo roms based on the first leak is second post while froyo roms based on latest leak is first post? Just want to clarify

Yes. Also, if you made any changes to your stagefright stuff in your build.prop, you need to change it back.

WOW!!!
-first test: 64kbps AAC+ songs on my internal memory using stock HTC music player sound like they used to sound on 2.1. patch seems to work.
-second test: XiiaLive still won't play my AAC+ streams. i think this is the app blocking all AAC+ streams to 2.2 phones. is there a way to trick the app into thinking im on 2.1? can i simply alter the build prop to accomplish this?
-third test: Pandora over 3g sounds just as crappy as it normally did on 2.1. lets face it, pandora's sound quality isn't anywhere near audiophile quality. it definitely no longer sounds broken though, so the patch works.
-fourth test: Slacker radio no longer sounds broken either, on 3g it sounds just as crappy as it did on 2.1. it's not audiophile quality either, but it's not broken. patch seems to work.
i got one more app to test.
EDIT:
test five: MOG will play roughly 2:15 of a song and then skip to the next. this sucks because i pay $10 a month for this app and i really like it. i am thinking this is a problem with the app though. seems as though it doesn't like 2.2 and the whole stagefright thing.

Stagefright? Newbie here again! Do I need this for my music? Pandora? Radio? I'm running the aiccucs 2.2 lite.

Stagefright is the media framework that Google included in Android 2.2. All media apps use it to decode music. So, yes, you do need it if you've been affected by the audio bug.

As it all that static and jumpieness (don't think that's a real word) in the music? OK will do. Thanks!

Thank You!!

Slacker appears to sound better (won't know for sure until I'm in the car), but twice now a song has ended prematurely. I don't know at what time marks, but I'm watching more closely now. Also, I'm testing streaming currently over 3G and will be testing cached stations in a bit.
Unfortunately, the last two songs have played to completion. Fortunate, actually, but making me watch music times even longer. Ah well, it's all in the name of science! My boss will understand!

[SOLVED] Speaker Sound Problem! App available

Hi there,
have somebody tried the DSP SoundManager? I extracted this one from the CyanogenMod ROM and get a little bit better sound...
May you want to try it! Maybe there is a forward developed version of this, so please post it!
Regards, Andi

I can't notice any difference. I had the speaker on hi then installed it pumped up the settings and it made no difference.

Same here ..
I'm new here and with no experience, but maybe we need rooted device to work?! It would be nice to hear navigation while driving..

I have a rooted device. But I don't hear any difference.

Moved to Themes and Apps
Cheers,
M_T_M

no way
Downloaded and installed no difference at all.
What I have to understand is why POWERAMP with its settings (equalizer set to loud speaker value) has a far better volume than the stock music player.
If we can get its way to do that an app like the one in this thread may work.
May be poweramp just modifies in realtime the mp3 values I don't know really we need to investigate.
Youtube for example has a very poor volume altough the copilot using SVOX TTS voices (with SVOX volume at 200) is good enough.
I think is just the kernel I don't understand why the quality is so bad with some features and so good with others....

hmm i just watched a video from htc. and the introduce a feature that the device recognize where it is, for example in your pocket or backpack and if you get a call it will raise the speaker volume...
but i dont know if its just to the maximum which probalby everybody has set or if you can go over this limit...

Here is working version of DSP manager.

its a start, but i think this workaround creates some other problems... for my self, i just increased the volume of my ringtone and it worked as well.
hopefully this dspmanager workaround gets updatet or even htc will take care of it...

[Q] After upgrade (2.2.1 to 2.3) worse AAC sound

Hello good people of XDA. Its been a while since I made a post here. Needless to say, I've been very happy with my SGS.
So here's the issue. Last night updated my software to 2.3.3 Gingerbread-XWJVH. All is well and was happy. No lag and was hoping to use it right away. But, reloading all my music and listening to it (hoping Samsung "unlocked" the amp on this) the sound was appalling.
I listen to a lot of Metal, Post-Rock and Ambient music, from the original FLAC/320kbpsMP3 I downgrade to 64kbps AAC. Reason being that I get to fit a whole lot more tracks and it sounds almost like 160kbps MP3.
On the old 2.2.1 firmware everything was okay but this new one would not play the songs properly. Its like an iPhone, throw in an AAC HEv2 encoded file and it will play it like it was encoded in 32kbps.
Easiest route for me would be to go back to 2.2.1 and try Voodoo.
Cheers everyone!

I used SGS 1 GB and found no problems with sound files all AAC+ but at a higher rate from memory .
jje

Maybe you try the voodoo control plus app.. brings voodoo sound to any ROM
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I'm also disappointed, AAC HEv2 doesn't seem to be supported on i9000's Gingerbread, it sounds like in mono, one of the channelsis missing (dunno if it's the right or the left one) . I've tried custom kernels and Voodoo control plus app, but it didn't help. So we have two options: 1) Switching to Cyanogen or MIUI (cause it's a Samsung issue, playback is still good in those roms) or 2) Converting our music files to mp3 and taking with us everywhere only a quarter of them all.
Damn it!

Sound quality

I generally feel that the sound quality through headset on Sammy roms are crisp and clear than on cm9 or aokp roms, I just require user opinion on this
THank you

Might be due to DSP Manager on CM9. Turn it completely off as it doesn't work really well right now.

Sound IS better on CM9, and I want to know why... and apply that to an stock rooted ROM...
I've been searching and searching, I've installed DSP Manager on an Stock rooted rom XXLA1/XXLC1 (DBT) and it sounds exactly the same.
I start the app, and it doesn't require root permissons, and is not listed on the granted apps on SuperUser...
How can we improve sound quality, the same way CM9 rom does it?

Use PowerAmp to play music. It's the best music player right now. The equalizer and tone control it very good for me to play music.

I've used it for several weeks, but the sound quality I can achiveve is MILES away from the sound out-of-the-box that CM9 provides... That's the reason of this topic...
By the way, what are the values you put on PowerAmp Equalizer?

I want to run GE or AOSP...but audio SUCKS!

Hi guys,
Can you help me find a ROM that suits my needs? I am going nuts here. I have flashed that many roms and I am just tired of it. I haven't actually found one that I actually enjoy.
First of all I want a rom that is preferably GE or AOSP with lots of customisation. For example I loved this rom by dirty unicorns found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314807
This ROM is pretty much everything I look for in a ROM...however I am getting really bored with the One at the moment. Especially because I care about audio, and I just feel like no developer has really come in and developed a all you need, kick ass audio mod for the One.
In this rom above audio is absolutely HORRIBLE. At full volume it distorts and through headphones it does not sound as good as with sense. But I don't want to use sense.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Ultimately I'd like to use that ROM with good audio and if possible boost the sound ever louder (that's another thing, these speakers have dedicated amps but no one has figured out how to boost volume levels at hardware level?). Any audio mods/things that I can do to get the sound quality and volume back up to par with sense? This rom doesn't come with beats audio...possible to install it?
Thank you for your help.

Have you tried using viper4androidFX. Its a pretty good audio mod I use on ARHD GE edition. Sadly Zeroinfinity isn't making purexaudio for AOSP and only Sense. Its a godly audio mod, but only Sense is a no go.

Yes I have. The problem is that your GE edition comes with beats audio, so your audio sounds half decent. The dirty unicorns rom I am using doesn't have beats audio, and what seems like all the aosp audio files (which sound horrible).
I don't want to lose this rom, but I don't want to live with this audio either. First world problems hey haha

While running vibermod4android you turn Beats off since you don't want to modify an already modified audio stream. It works perfect on all Roms

I have beats off even though im on GE. Beats switch is just an equalizer preset, nothing else. Technically you could replicate the exact same sound with the equalizer built in to any music app, or viper. Like altimax98 said, it should be turned off anyways because modifying something thats already modified isn't too sensible. Especially if you were to say use another device, and wanted to replicate the exact same audio no both. Copying settings from one to the other would have them sound the same but with beats on, your throwing a modification on to a modification.

Yeah, no I understand that all but I still can't fix my sound on this AOKP rom?
I have installed V4A except I don't think it is doing anything... I downloaded the convolver pack so I can set custom IRS still does nothing. I wonder if I set it up properly?
All I did was install and then that was install busybox, install v4a as user app. then run it and install drivers. it said drivers isntalled but it didnt let me selected cortext a8 or those type of options. weird. Now the app seems like it does nothing for sound.
Any ideas?

Are you using dsp compatible app? (google music player, or my fav Shuffle +)
And fx just asks for power save, high quality or best sound drivers. Doesn't ask for processor specific, that's xhifi only.

I've gone from Sense to GPE and (this may be placibo) but i actually find the straight SQ of the HP really, really good/ better than when i was stock.
I tried the Viper mod when using the SIN rom, didn't like it, tried the others (nooze, etc) and concluded that all of the sound mods are simply DSP's and don't actually make the SQ from the DAC any better. They simply change it. I'm back to the pure sound from GPM without EQ and i think it is magnificent!
My tip would be to do a full clean install of your current GPE rom and disable/uninstall Viper etc and run unfiltered/EQ'd for a few days to get your ears used to the sound (Ears burn in to music as much as equipment) and then judge. Also, using good earphones is probably the best thing one can do to improve SQ. The earphones included with the Phone are suprisingly good imho.
YMMV
