Okay, now I'm confused as well. You SHOULD be hearing a difference as of now. If you can't you either need new headphones or a hearing test! :P

Okay, okay...seriously...uhhh...this is my last ditch effort. After you click Build-In Audio Monitor, the main graphical equalizer is located in Digital Presets. If you make changes in there and hear nothing, then it's time for me to hand it over to the devs of the app.

They're VERY good about updating this app. I know for sure since I've installed it that there's been two updates and I think it's the third that auto-updated when I rebooted a bit ago. If there aren't any sound changes when you mess with the equalizer, drop them a post here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002367) and, please, let me know what they say.

Lol don't get frustrated its not your app to support. I really do appreciate your help though. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] evan30:
this is awesome, thanks dude! just wondering but has anybody tried selecting any of the other 3 enhancers from the last option? was there a reason you chose noozoxoide?

just curious ;)

thanks again!!
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I was carefully reading every window of the Aroma installer since this was brand new to me. One of the windows said Noozoxoide was the preferred DSP manager for Jelly Bean and that's why I chose it. I haven't tried any other managers because I'm REALLY happy with what Nooz is doing and see no reason to experiment. Let me know if you do. I'd recommend a dalvik cache wipe/cache wipe/factory reset if you do, though. This will ensure none of the current Nooz settings conflict with your new DSP.

You're welcome and I'm glad you're enjoying as much as I am!

Hi. I am not the original developer or on the development team for this Engine. I simply raised awareness to this awesome modification to the Droid DNA community.

I'm not sure if it's just me but it seems that music distorts at max volume now whereas it didn't before :\

before ' get better headphones ' or ' bad quality music ' replies ... I'm using a pair of Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's and using lossless .FLAC audio via PowerAmp... ;)

I've never heard distortion from these headphones, do you think it's because I selected the ' Dolby True Stereo ' option in Aroma??

any tips to remove dolby for the first option without wiping my rom?

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] BleedingIris:
Hi.. just one information,

How can you get update from play store.. it's not installed from play store right. When I try to install, it says it's not supported in my country

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] utkaar099:
For those that are having difficulty getting it to work, just keep trying. It's worth it. If you want to get a first taste, flash HatkaDNA. It has AC!D Audio built in :D
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Nice setup. You're obviously an audio buff like me and why I wanted to get this Engine working on this phone. I'm sure you've thought of this, but with Beats on and AC!D running, you're now having two amplifications/modifications of the sound, so you can try turning off Beats (I do use both.)

To try and get rid of Dolby...several methods, but not sure if any will do right by ya. Starting simple: Go into Settings\apps click the 'All' tab and try to uninstall anything that says Dolby. If it won't let you uninstall, Force Stop it and Disable it/them.

If that doesn't fix the distortion/disable Dolby entirely, I see you're using an sys writable kernel, so use Root Explorer (or some other file manager with root permission) and start browsing /system/app and deleting Dolby .apks.

Once you fix the distortion, you can dirty flash the Engine with Aroma and choose another DSP. I HIGHLY recommend Nooz. It's been flawless for me. Let me know how you make out, please.

I'm not sure what's trying to update, but I think you're talking about the Noozxoide DSP manager (it's the only thing that's updated since I installed the Engine.) Here's the latest .apk (v2.0.1.7): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/68066384/com.noozxoidelabs.eizo.rewirepro-2.0.1.7.apk

If this is not what you meant, please be more specific. Cheers!
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
Thanks, I uninstalled anything related to Dolby with Titanium, rebooted, then cleared cache and dalvik, and dirty flashed this again, choosing Nooz instead, and everything seems good!
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
WOOOHOOO!!! How do you like the new DSP?
[HTC Droid DNA] typeriz:
There is a newer one in play store 2.0.1.10
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Ahh, I see what you're saying now. From the screenshots it looks like they dramatically changed the UI of the app. They probably didn't code it properly for our hi res screen and therefore the app says it's now incompatible. We'll have to find the .apk from another device and sideload it. I'm pretty sure it will work, it's just not in the Play Store with the correct formatting. Let me bring this to the attention of the devs. Thank you for bringing this up!

EDIT: Nevermind. I found it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36168124#post36168124. It sideloads just fine. Install instructions:

1) Put the .apk in the same folder as adb.exe.

2) Boot into recovery and mount system.

3) Type in:

adb install com.noozxoidelabs.eizo.rewirepro.apk

The install will complete with an error code. Perhaps this is why the app says it is no longer compatible with the device. The second time I tried I mounted everything and it still came up with the error. I will certainly bring this to the attention of the dev.

Note: There's no way possible to tell what version you're on when the app is running and the Play Store still says we need an upgrade, but if you look in Settings\Apps\All you will see you have the latest version if you sideloaded correctly (see screenie)

Has anyone gotten the Walkman Addon to work?

I seem to lose all sound if I try to install the walkman package rather than the Noozxoid DSP. Don't get me wrong, Noozxoid is OKAY, but the audio enhancements don't really improve the sound coming from my Klipsch X-10's or my Audio Technica ATH-M50s's. These headphones are already quite Bass heavy and the enhancements often make them sound bloated.

I used to love all the Walkman enhancements, and I still do for my little Walkman MP3 player. Seems to get everything 'just right' for my tastes.

So, to anyone else in the thread, what configuration do you have running and how did you get it to work?

Thank you,
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
In the OP of Engine, it says you can not use the Walkman Addon with one of the four DSP's. So, your installation choices in Aroma should be Universal, Universal, Walkman, Skip. If you added one at the end, that's your problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] th3raid0r:
Yeah, I did Universal>Universal>Walkman>Skip. Still getting no sound. I am trying a few tweaks right now. Will post back if I get it working.

EDIT: So I have tried removing the following files and reflashing in aroma

Still no dice. I have then tried messing around in the audio effects to see what works. Nothing so far... Made sure to check clearaudio+ in the walkman player, but still no dice.

I can't even adjust the volume, it defaults to 0 every time.

EDIT2: Going to restore my backup and give it another go. This time I will flash the base AC!D install first and push the altered build.prop file to see if just a base install will work correctly.
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
It's incredible.. some very brilliant technologies built in here...

So I tried downloading the newest .apk of the nooz dsp, opening up system/apps (I have d's cubed kernel with system write enabled) and:

-backing up old apk, deleting old apk, replacing it with the newest (.10) apk, and rebooting.

it sounds fine to me but the actual DSP app looks identical to the old one ( I heard ui was different ) and when I opened google music, it said "-full name of nooz dsp here- has stopped working" and when I went to the "equalizer" option in the app, it went to some weird one i've never seen and if I enabled it, it sounded awful...

I checked my system apps and it says the nooz dsp is the .10 version... do you think I need to change the permissions?
[HTC Droid DNA] th3raid0r:
Alright, so it turns out with the base AC!D mod install, only the No Effects and Beats preset works. If any other preset is selected it defaults back to beats (although it reports otherwise. I have good ears and the beats preset should sound VERY different from treble boost).

I suppose I should look into this a bit further.

I have validated that the build.prop has been properly edited.

I think that the beats audio settings is probably what is getting in the way. I will try to find a safe way to remove it prior to AC!D installation and put it into a zip file.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Man, I wish I'd caught you before you messed with your restore. Did you delete those files and folders (if they were there) once again after your restore and BEFORE your AC!D installation. If so, did they come back? If they did, can you please .zip them up and post them? I'm try to get a clean set of them for the OP and I don't have a restore prior to my AC!D install.
[HTC Droid DNA] th3raid0r:
The files did NOT come back at all. I already tried that before restoring. It seems that the AC!D base doesn't use those files/folders at all, at least from what I can tell.

When I get back from lunch I am going to dive into the audio stack and see just where beats is. Then I will try to draw out a diagram to see where everything is going. From there I will see how AC!D is set up and where those files are supposed to be in the audio stack. Hopefully with all of this we can create a few symbolic links to completely replace the stock beats with AC!D. Hopefully this will give us the full implementation of the base...

Then I need to figure out what's wrong with the Walkman player addon.

If anyone would like to work with me on this, let me know.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Good to know about the files. I'll add that to the OP instructions. Emai/GTalk me at wittyjm@gmail.com. I'll help in any way I can. I'm an audiophile myself and want to tinker with ya. I have a full backup ready in case we break stuff ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] th3raid0r:
Alright, it looks like I found the issue. For some reason quite a few of the files are not being written. This may be something entirely wrong with the aroma installer. I am going to validate the simple zips next to see if they have the same problem.

EDIT:

Okay, so it isn't Aroma, it was my version of Clockwork Recovery -- that part is fixed...
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Nice chat on GTalk. I'm working on that port of 6.0 tonight. I'll release it when I don't see any apparent bugs.

Depressing news

So, after a full day of digging into the AC!D audio stack, I found out why only the Noozxoid implementation works.

AC!D Needs some AOSP libraries that just aren't in Sense4+. The Noozxoid DSP works because it works much the same way as any of the other DSP's although, the settings are quite different. I theorize that differences that other people are 'hearing' are merely differences in the DSP, the modifications to the beats packages (which do work), or a complete placebo.

In our device, the beats libraries and binaries replace some of the stock audio libraries and binaries. So the beats audio is completely blocking the use of any other audio libraries below a standard DSP.

This is also why the walkman addon for AC!D completely breaks the sound on the phone. It directly replaces a few libraries in /system/lib/hw which causes the stack to break.

So, unless we get an AOSP based rom, or can find a way to shoe horn the AOSP audio stack into the device (removing beats) we won't have FULL AC!D functionality.

Andr/Opfake-A trojan?

Just installed this but after a Sophos and Norton scan it says that AC!D SoundMOD has a trojan: Andr/Opfake-A. Anyone else getting this?

Is there a way to fix flash this MOD without this trojan?
[HTC Droid DNA] BleedingIris:
Just delete the acid sound mod.apk and Dolby (if you don't feel difference ) from system/app, it's really of no use except for the notification.

Just the other day, another member from acid original thread complained of credit card data stolen etc.(could be because of this swept in unnoticed )

---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

If you don't feel the different, when changing Dolby on/off (if you haven't installed Dolby add on). The acid apk(not the mod ) is of absolutely no use, I think...
[HTC Droid DNA] wils01:
Alright, will Dolby not work if I delete ac!d.apk? I guess I find it odd that only some people have it when I got it from the same link everyone else did. Just giving everyone else a heads up!
[HTC Droid DNA] th3raid0r:
I have been comparing Noozxoide's DSP working in standalone versus Noozxoide's DSP when installed with AC!D for the last day or so.

There is no noticeable difference. Guys, it is so much easier to go with the DSP alone. Plus, it is removable. It even states on the main AC!D post, that they have NOT tested this software with Sense based ROMs.

I will be trying my best to bring the REAL AC!D audio to you guys. Please know, however, it is easier to just go with the standalone DSP (for now).
[HTC Droid DNA] SlyFoxDev:

I was using Lookout Security and Antivirus all the way up until I saw this post today. I never got any warning. I've been thinking about installing the $15 Kaspersky AV, because I use that on my desktop and laptop and love it. It's the best at detecting viruses. So, I bit the bullet, installed it, and ran a full scan. As you can see, it didn't find anything. I'd say you have a false positive from Norton. Norton is known for that.

For anyone that is having a problem getting this to work like I was.

In the op it says:

"3) Right click on build.prop and select copy. Paste right there in the root You should now have two files on your root like the fourth screenshot. Right click on build.prop and open with Notepad. Scroll to the bottom of the file and hit enter. On the new line, paste the following code:"

I noticed my build.prop wasn't exactly like the one in the screenshot.

The ops screenshot build.prop ends with "mainkeys=0"

My build.prop had another line at the end that the screenshot didn't have: "persist.adb.notify=0"

So if I follow the directions to a tee it doesn't work. I had to delete the line "persist.adb.notify=0" and then it was successful.

Hopefully this helps someone
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
The very reason I had people do backups of their original build.prop is because I knew not everyone was going to have the same edits to their file as mine. Various apps, mods, and ROMs all do build.prop changes, so I didn't want to give one standard set of directions. I could have broke previous installations if I did.

As for your particular situation, persist.adb.notify=0 disables the notification to the bar when you plug in your phone to PC via the USB cord. I have no idea how this line stopped an audio engine from working. My guess is you could add it back if you so desired.
[HTC Droid DNA] kronikings:
Don't get me wrong. I was just bringing this to anyone elses attention that may have had the same problem as myself. It took me a few days and a few restores before I finally realized it was that line screwing everything up. I am not blaming you in any way... Just trying to help someone else possibly
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
***NOTE proceed with caution*** I tried loading this version this morning and it caused a bootloop for me. I did a dalvik/cache clean then installed and it got stuck on updating apps where it says "starting apps."

Make sure you have a current backup before installing. Let me know if it works for you.

thoughts on this vs. beats? or awesome beats i suppose that came with the supercharged hatka ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
AC!D is a audio modifcaition with includes beats in it, mixed in with a lot of other good stuff. That just makes the audio quality better. Awesome beats is a mod for Ac!D audio.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Unfortunately, the more I test it, the more I find it doesn't work on our device. In fact, I think AC!D doesn't work. It was all Noozxoide.
[HTC Droid DNA] gb96:
this is great, thanks op!
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
You're welcome, but after some extensive testing (a LOT of flashing and restoring), I've come to the conclusion that the AC!D Engine either just doesn't work on our device or it doesn't work on any device. What I heard as a significant change in sound came from the Noozoxoide DSP and not from the Engine. A properly running Nooz sounds amazing combined with Beats on this phone. First, my test results (all v5 tests with proper build.prop edit. v7 supposedly doesn't need an edit):

AC!D v5 only: No change to sound

v5 with Walkman 5: No change

v5 with DSP Manager v2: Only DSP changes

v5 with Noozxoide DSP: Only Nooz changes

AC!D v7: phone boots, no changes to sound

AC!D v7 and Walkman v6: Phone won't boot into Android

v7 and DSP: DSP changes only

v7 and Nooz: Nooz changes only

The choice then becomes which DSP sounds better to you (DSP Manager v2 or Nooz.) I just sideloaded the latest version of Nooz (2.0.1.13) and I adjusted its settings to run with Beats. I don't think I could be happier with audio coming from this phone. Links:

flash v2.0.1.12 .zip installer with supporting files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/68066384/HDSoundEngine_CWM_24Jan2013.zip

then sideload v2.0.1.13 with Root Explorer (etc): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/68066384/Noozxoide_EIZO-rewire__PRO_-_v2.0.1.13.apk

Enjoy!

Re: [Audio Engine] ACID Audio Engine™ [1/3/13 - Sideload Nooz latest build]

I can confirm this is working. What did you mean adjusted the settings to work with beats?
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I simply meant that I started with music playing with Beats and adjusted Nooz to enhance the music further making them work in conjunction rather than working separately or against each other.
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
it seems to work for me. Could just be the placibo effect . I always have beats off because when its on my phone skips audio and have white noise
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
This is the way I tested: have a clean install without AC!D or any DSP installed backed up (system and data.) Play some local music (not streaming) on your base install. Install either the engine or a DSP. Play the same local music. Notice any changes or the lack thereof. Restore backup and repeat. I did this at LEAST 10 times and came up with my conclusion. Unless you guys have fixed something in the files to make the Engine properly work in your ROM on the DNA, I don't think it does.

[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Doc are you on Viper beta? I ask because I flashed this right after I got beta set up. Does beta remove the option to turn beats on and off in the notification shade and remove the beats logo in the status bar? Or does this break that? I thought beats was completely broken until I noticed it was still there to turn on and off in the settings but still nothing in the notification shade and no red beats logo. don't get me wrong I hate that red or grayed out logo just wondering why its exactly gone. May be something to report elsewhere.

[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Yes, I'm on b1 (lookee my sig.) As you note, Beats still works and I'm happy the notification is broke. If you look at the changelog of b1, you'll see that something new is being implemented for 1.1.0. I think this is affecting Beats. I still haven't found where to mess with its settings. As it stands now, I uses Beats + Nooz for amazing sound. I'll dig later today to try to figure out the other thing...
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I just found what we're talking about in Venom Tweaks\Miscellaneous. You have to scroll near the bottom I enabled it and the very bottom "Different Tweaks."

[HTC Droid DNA] th3raid0r:
Haha, this is what I was trying to say wayyyyyy in the beginning. I have a feeling that AC!D should work on our phone if we can get AOSP or CM10 on it. Methinks that it is the proprietary libraries that aren't playing nice with the other sound libraries that AC!D audio is shoving in there. Although, I am pretty excited the Sony X-loud engine included in the next ViperROM release. I have always preferred the Sony Enhancements over Beats or anything else for that matter (maybe with the exception of the Cowon audio enhancements which are closed source). Now I really wish I was in the BETA with you guys.
