Jar files aren't odexed/deodexed. There is 1 single character changed- a 0 to a 1 - from the original ext.jar. This did not cause your bootloop, not unless you downloaded a corrupted file or there was an issue with something else you've done- redownload, adb push to system/framework while in recovery, reboot.. or wipe just the system partition, reflash whatever rom you were using then whatever you ran on top of it, push the ext.jar file, repair permissions, reboot.

One of the methods above are sure to work(and won't wipe your data partition unless the rom you use wipes), but like I said, only one single character was changed from the original file. I wouldn't restore a nandroid except for data partition.

Can anyone confirm on energy?

Amaze 4G ENERGY ICS
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
Broke music on stock ics (2nd version), tried flashing and setting permissions. Then pushed jar and set permissions, wiped music data rebooted. Still nothing, super pissed.

Edit. Works fine on arhd 2.2.1
[HTC Amaze 4G] falconeyedtiger:
Also broke music on One Good Rom, did the same as last post..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm on the 2nd stock rooted TMO rom, and it works fine.

I did uninstall the htc music apk before flashing the zip in the first post (v1. 1).

I tried the cm music app and just got fcs on it.

Ymmv.

I'm on energy and there is no difference really.. I'm using iPhone headphones and they're decent. ICS sense sucks, dsp nor beats work
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
You're saying that beats when you are in the stock player(must be the stock htc music player to absolutely work) beats doesn't give you a difference? Do you still have dspmanager installed, because it conflicts with the hacks to make these features work(to the best of my knowledge).. and I haven't had an iPhone since the iPhone 3g, so maybe the headphones really improved.. but those were the equivalent to the $7 headphones included with my vibrant or amaze-- I noticed a difference, but it is MUCH more noticable with amplified/high quality output - beats headphones(obviously), most non-earbud headphones, home stereos, car stereos-- anything capable of reproducing mids, mid-bass, and bass(requires a true subwoofer). Earbuds barely reproduce mids correctly, and don't even touch midbass and bass.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tha23kidd:
I tried to dl from first post but dev host says file not found
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
the iphone/ipod headphones i have are great imo. especially for metal (i dont listen to rap/dubstep)

i had dsp manager installed but i uninstalled it after i found out it didnt work in energy so i dont see anything conflicting it or whatever. and yeah i use stock music player, its the only one i like. i do have another installed, but its for lyrics. its called music match or something like that but i never use it to play music.

every setting doesnt work in the music app, be it dolby, SRS, or beats.. they all sound exactly the same. the only setting that makes a difference is the costumize EQ (rock, flat, bass, etc) and it sounds great but you have to re set it EVERYTIME you unplug/plug in your head phones so i dont want to use that option.

when i had my sensation i flashed insertcoin im pretty sure with sense 3.5 and beats sounds AMAZING on it, made my iphone headphones sound like $60 headphones at least (when you can buy them for $10 on ebay). beats on the amaze sounds like complete crap. maybe im not doing something right?

also, i dont get the beats notification when its set, so maybe it didnt work for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
What id be most interested in is a TRUE beats port that isn't limited to just the stock music app. Ive seen it in action on the one S. When you have headphones plugged in and run ANY audio from any application a beats notification/toggle pops up in the notification tray to show you that its either enabled or disabled, works with any application, and allows you to toggle it on or off at any point in time that the phone is emitting audio through the headphones.

The stock music app is pretty much worthless to me these days since I have nearly 20 gigs of music uploaded to my google music account and don't waste any storage space on my phone storing music.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
thats kind of how dsp works.. tooooo bad it doesnt work for sense ics -_-
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
THAT is why - I haven't downloaded the newest edition of his flashable, but he was supposed to put this ext.jar in the /system/framework folder - this is what makes the beats notification work, and I'm pretty sure beats doesn't work without the notification(which is why I was confused).. just use root explorer to copy over the same file in /system/framework or push the file with adb, reboot, and THEN tell me how it sounds..

There's a dspmanager.apk in the sensation forums that is supposed to work for ICS sense3.6, most people have been trying to use other ones that simply don't work- try that one. Update - this isn't the one, but the post before it may be the right one, and you need the .so file in this post

Without the supporting files dspmanager isn't going to do anything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
still doesnt work for me.. my steps were: flashed beats (didnt work) flashed it again (didnt work) pushed the .jar file then rebooted (didnt work) weird.

should i try flashing 1.0 then pushing the .jar? or will that wipe my data
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
That jar file is ours modified to make our phone think it is a beats phone- that was at least one of the changes he made in the latest update, but I know that that ext.jar will make beats notification work after a reboot - you'll only get the beats notification when headphones are plugged in and beats is the feature selected in the stock music app- maybe try clearing the apps data(the stock music app, htcbeatsnotify, and music enhancer) and reloading.. but I know it works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
when i rebooted my music player didnt think i didnt have any music. then i cleared the cache and whenever i play a song the music player stops working..i have no clue whats going on lol

i installed cm music so i dont have to deal with that crap until someone gets it figured out or he updates it again.. do you know how to get the EQ working on CM? i get fc when i click on it
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
You cleared cache thru what, recovery? or you went into system settings, app, all apps, selected music app, force close, clear data? <-- that is what should fix it(once you have the proper ext.jar). If that doesn't work I don't know what is wrong, to the best of my knowledge this works for everyone once I modified the jar file that broke data..
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
i cleared the data on the music.apk in the settings im going to try a few more things lol

i tried installing another dsp manager from CM and it still didnt work

edit: tried re-flashing beats (1.1) and then wiped data in both cm music and music.apk and still nogo. htc music wont play music anymore, and cm music still fc when i click on EQ. this is annoying -__- wonder if its energy, nothing worked through stock either. having tried android revolution yet, too lazy to re do everything lol

Stock Rom

this might be a stupid question but I am wondering if I can flash it on my rooted stock T-Mobile ROM. I am hesitant to attempt S-OFF with the wire trick, I think I'll wait for a software method to achieve S-OFF, so my beloved Amaze 4G is still S-ON LOL
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
No s-off required - just flash it in recovery(4ext recommended)

There is very little that requires s-off, being able to flash a correctly packaged radio or kernel would require it, but you can do those things in bootloader with some commands anyways..

When I DID get s-off, there was no way to go back- you HAD to get s-off.. now it creates a backup of what it overwrites so if you QUIT and want to give up- you can. That makes it pretty safe.

I'd say s-off is most useful for a developer, but at this moment I haven't seen anything offered by devs that would take advantage of s-off except maybe a few boot animations..

Hey, RANDOM QUESTION - I see you live in Jax too, any chance you know of any tech support/help desk type jobs in the area? With a name like yours I had to ask! http://www.linkedin.com/in/cseanthomas
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
wait....theres going back on S-OFF lol!, i never knew that
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdyates:
I flashed the package in 4ext and copied the ext.jar to system/framework, but the HTC music app isn't showing any music and FC when I press play. The Cyanogen music app FC when I press audio settings. Any ideas? I'm on stock rooted T-mobile ICS. Oh, and cleared cache and erased the "HTC music" data from the applications menu.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Also addressing silentbtdeadly - I'm 99.9% certain why this isn't working is indeed related to energy ICS.

what you've been describing so far stratax is exactly how beats works on energy to begin with. What it seems the problem is is that the 1.1 (and original) flashables aren't properly flashing at all, despite recovery telling us it was successfully installed. do a clean install and see what I mean, beats is pre included in the default music app with energy ICS, but isn't actually active (nrg actually acknowledged it at one point in the ROM thread but said he was merely messing with it and couldn't get it to work).

Is the (non-active) pre existing beats on Energy ICS the culprit? Not at all. Here's my theory -

For some reason, updater scripts to mods that replace system files don't seem to work on Energy ICS. When attempting to mod my HTC IME and replace my HTC Camera, both times I had to MANUALLY push the apps into system/app because (even though the updater scripts for the flashables told me they were installed successfully) they weren't there until I did so. This theory seems to correlate to the other users on here who have experienced problems trying to get this to work with Energy ICS but never reported a successful install.

So here's how we get it working on Energy ICS, though I'm gonna need some help. Is there an EASY way to push these files to their corresponding destinations without a script or flashable? I'm 97% certain (based on me having to manually push mods thus far) that method will work, but looking at the files in the zip, there are a SH-- ton of them and fixing permissions for each and every file individually would be a serious pain in the arse lol. For that matter, I don't even know enough about the file's structure to know which files pertain to the actual mod and what files are just there to facilitate the flashable zip.

Or better yet... If you're up to the challenge silentbtdeadly, maybe you can peruse Energy ICS to see why updater scripts don't seem to be working with it? NRG could probably tell us. If we could shed some light on this it would probably make it very easy to simply create a modified flashable zip that'd work with Energy ICS. Any thoughts?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdyates:
I wouldn't blame it on Energy. It didn't work on my stock T-Mobile ICS. I WAS, however, able to get the equalizer for the CM9 music app to work great using instructions in the Sensation forum and copying the files manually from SDcard to system using ES file explorer. It seems the most files in one place for this beats mod go into system/etc. THAT would be a pain, but I'm willing to try it tomorrow after school if you think it would help to do it manually.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Perhaps its not energy, but I'm thinking the reason we see a successful install that doesn't seem to work on energy is because the scripts have no effect on energy. I've flashed two other mods that say they installed successfully but didn't until I manually pushed them. And this behavior with flashables has been consistent with every mod I've tried to flash ti energy Rom.

Hmm... Now that I think about I never had this problem until AFTER ICS. Maybe there's a problem in stock ICS that other devs fixed as they were cooking their roms but NRG missed or didn't have any reason to touch.

Either way, ive got everything all locked in with Energy ICS, and its worked so well for me overall that I'm really not willing to change ROMs regardless of how bad o want to get Beats to work. =L
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdyates:
I really wanted Beats but the sound quality and customization of SRS with the CM9 music player is amazing, i may leave it the way it is, with my HTC music broken since i wont be needing it anymore lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
good earbuds that are properly seated via memory foam tips (not that crappy silicon "mushroom") reproduce sub-bass, bass and mids just as good and better than over the ear earphones... obviously there is no replacement for room shaking earth quaking 18" cerwin-vega but hey... good earbuds with good memory foam tips are the next best thing... yup!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
In ear ear buds do not have as much potential as over the ear ones
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
I'm sorry, but you are wrong. I am an absolute audiophile and the only headphones that can come CLOSE are the good old sony mdr7506's... but those need specific eq'ing to sound as good as my sub-$100 earbuds with memory foam mushroom tips... and the only thing that makes a noticeable difference over these are some custom molded 1964 IEMs...
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
My brother is a producer and says that in ear ear buds are good, but the best ones don't compare to the $1000 over The ear ones, sure they are more expensive, but with the bigger drivers and the support for more ohms they do sound better
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
i'm sorry but your brother is somewhat ignorant, I'm not calling him stupid, just ignorant, so don't take it as a personal attack... but if he's a producer than he knows full well that $1000 OE headphones a) are a sick joke b) that sony mdr7506's are the defacto standard in the production world when it comes to OE headphones... and unless he has owned a pair of custom molded 1964 quad IEM's, as do I, then he really doesn't have any room to speak... he would also be contradicting thousands upon thousands of audiophile articles and reviews that are available on the web for anyone to read... that "$1000" comment was a complete straw man, red herring...

you do realize that the "size matters" argument is also negated by the fact that proximity is also a HUGE factor in the low end reproduction of frequencies...
[HTC Amaze 4G] NeoAndroid:
I agree that in-ear is the way to go. It blocks out external noise up to 30dB. My Vmoda Bass EQ in-ear headphones sounded better than my friends expensive over the ear headphones.

To get back into the topic. This mod is more prominent using my in-ear headphones. If it helps, I've been an aftermarket custom car audio installer for 20 years. Of course,this is just my opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
+1 for the Vegas :D rabid Vega fan here
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I've done quite a bit of car installing too, and I know much more of the science behind it than most.. being an installer doesn't always mean you understand the how behind most of what you do. No offense, but for you to try to confirm in-ear headphones..

http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~100789~PN~1

Here is a quote from that article(that is very well written):

What is important to pick up in the above quote is that at 250hz+ sound is easier to reproduce.. Simply put, headphones CAN reproduce the sound(below 250hz), but the quality cannot be compared to an amplified solution(even just a tiny bit more) with better drivers(what reproduces the sound)- meaning almost any other method of playing music. To recreate midbass in a house, a car, or any other way has many variables, but done right you could NEVER compare the quality between earbuds and just about anything else.

This is a complex subject that could be explored better in a forum for audiophiles, but either way - this mod DOES work, and the people with better equipment will have more rewarding results, hands down.

Now I want to point out that the original mod is on version 8, and we had it ported around version 3 or 4.. I'm going to see if I can update the flashable, I am using v7 and it sounded much better than the original release we have here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Okay, for updated version of the bassini's mod download here(you navigate aroma with volume keys and power button to select next or sense 3.6) - I have updated the ext.jar so it will work with our phones. Besides things below, it works perfectly(and better than the release version in the OP)

Things you can do to make sure everything works properly!

Get dolby mobile1.1 from bassini's original thread for his mod and then follow the directions here to make sure it works properly(allows speaker/headset tweaks) - there is NO doubt you will notice a difference with this, just click the app and turn on!

Download the cm music.apk from here and install like a NORMAL APP(not system/app) and if you get any issues with FC from that music app follow the direction here(change permissions and rename the htclisten.apk if it conflicts) - then srs settings work properly

If you have poweramp make sure you have settings>audio engine>advanced tweaks>check direct volume control

This is all coming from bassini's original thread here - it is now version 8, we got it at version 7..

And again the dropbox to the modified flashable mod is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/dg4m4dac2gebkgi/BassModv8.0-aroma-all.zip

Great Job man :), did you test it does it work fine?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Everything works fine except srs settings, tho I prefer the cm music over the stock(I like being able to control the music from aosp lockscreen and the other mods), but the srspanel settings do not work or stick.. I made sure permission were set properly - I have no idea why it works for the original mod but not for this.. for now the dolby addition will keep me happy, tho it would be nice to get the srs effects working..

If anyone can help figure out how to get this working right..

Were you able to figure out why the file doesn't seem to he effective for Energy Rom? I think you may have missed my post of that in the midst (or right before) all of the headphones talk but, there seems to be something about Energy Rom that causes update scripts to be ineffective even when the zip flashes fine.

[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Thank you. That's the exact element of the equation I knew I was looking for, the reason if you will.

Oh well. I much prefer the look and feel of Energy... Especially with the Leedroid Tweaks adjusting a few things about my system. Though I REALLY want beats, not worth the switch for me. Mainly because I spent an hr or two customizing my desktop icons in apex launcher. The restore function didn't seem to work when I tried ti restore my apex settings using a different Rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Hey, I'll tell you a secret.. if you are willing to learn some stuff, you can make anything you use YOURS. Having the rom deodexed is better in many ways.. you can either download dsixda's kitchen and learn how to deodex with that, or learn how to do it using command prompt.. or download a deodexed rom like Android Revolution HD and copy all the apks from his system/app folder OVER the ones in your rom - as long as you replace every apk there with a deodexed rom, the rom should still be EVERYTHING you want, but then the performance will be MUCH better and you can do mods like this..

The best way to do it would be to deodex the whole rom tho - it isn't that hard.

And rather than depending on the backup/restore function of the actual launcher you can backup the app AND settings with titanium backup, or even better if you made a nandroid of how you had things - there is an advanced feature in titanium backup that allows you to restore apps and settings from a nandroid backup..

It isn't that it is broken, they conflict because they use the same processes(cm music and htclisten) - just delete htclisten from the zip file before you even flash - done deal.

The link works fine.. there is just a " on it for some reason, just take the quote off or click this http://d-h.st/JTF

EDIT: If you flash the release the OP posted, you have to download the ext.jar I posted and push it to system/app then reboot to get data back.. just search the thread for ext.jar rather than ask be where it is ;) or if you actually are any good at reading/following directions you can click the period at the end of this sentence.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
You seriously own. Thank you for the tips. I'm smacking my hand on my forehead that I didn't think of titanium backup in regards to apex launcher lol. It's not like I've never used it before =)

Never thought to actually de odex my existing Rom either. That's actually a fantastic idea =). This morning I nearly bricked my phone following Mike's instructions (or not, I may have noob'd out and not done a superwipe before installing the required system update) trying to get Revolutionary on my phone. There's another duh to me lol. Deodexing my current Rom is the perfect solution =) thanks! =)

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Just wanted to let you know, you still seem to be using the sensation ext.jar which breaks data.. if you put in the one I edited it will work just fine.

And if you look back a page, I am having issues getting the srspanel working with the cm music app - I've read most of your original thread, removed htclisten, checked permissions, made sure all files are there.. but there are no presets, turning on and off makes no difference, and the settings don't stick once I leave srs EQ. Any help?
