I managed to install JamesDSP on Android 12, not bad, but Dolby Atmos magisk module is better for me IMHO. Bass boost on latest JamesDSP sucks, while Dolby's is good. Loudness is not affected on Dolby, while JamesDSP seems to lower it a bit as settings are made. This is the same for many equalizers on Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] rrusek:
Has anyone been able to get Dolby Atmos to work on the Pixel 6 A13 ?
[Android Apps and Games] dlads:
Installed the latest mod from the OP and it installed fine, said no to Huawei device then rebooted.

App is in drawer, closes on opening.

Magisk 25.2

OnePlus 10 pro (all stock)
[Android Apps and Games] BeachNYC:
My experience was exactly the same, tried multiple "solutions" that did not work. Crashed immediately every time. Your 6 steps, however, worked perfectly immediately. Thank you so much!

Just got my Pixel 7 Pro setup last week - and I can not consistently keep JamesDSP processing day after day. Rebooting doesn't help either :-/ Not sure why, nothing is crashing, everything is 'loaded', but turning it on and off or changing anything in app doesn't make a difference. If I remove everything and start over, it works, at that time, but the next day it doesn't process any more.

Anyone else having that problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Not having this problem. Do you have it as unrestricted in App battery usage? If not, try that.
[Android Apps and Games] SchmilK:
That was the problem!! It was set to optimized, thank you!!
[Android Apps and Games] SchmilK:
Seems that still didn't stick :(. Not sure why it keeps dying
[Android Apps and Games] schmeggy929:
Pixel 7 Pro here, JamesDSP is working great after a few hours of fine tuning all the settings. Just seems anything over 0.0dB Post gain does nothing. 0.0dB sounds no different than 15.0dB.
[Android Apps and Games] dlads:
How did you get it running mate? What version and are you on 12 or 13?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] schmeggy929:
Pixel 7 Pro came with Android 13. JamesDSP V4.6 flashed through Magisk and choose Huawei in pre-installed.
[Android Apps and Games] dlads:
Wasn't aware, I'm on the OnePlus 10 pro. Have tried with or without Huawei selected and on 12 and 13..

The app installs as does the mod but on opening it closes immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] wowkazmir:
Great to hear you have it up and running. Any chance you'd be willing to share your profile/settings?
[Android Apps and Games] schmeggy929:
You can try my profiles. Attached is the JamesDSP.zip. If you don't have any profiles or settings yet, extract JamesDSP to your sdcard on phone. In the folders are convolvers and DDC files and presets I use.
[Android Apps and Games] xxTECRAxx:
thank you for this. just installed on p7p
[Android Apps and Games] karthikbrave:
I need more customisation like the 2.1 jamesdsp latest module has very less customisation
[Android Apps and Games] _mysiak_:
Just wondering, what features do you miss?
[Android Apps and Games] clarkgable:
Does anyone use the rootless Jamesdsp version? I have successfully installed but get a terrible reverb when I play music. Unfortunately I cannot root the phone I want to use it on so it's rootless or bust..
[Android Apps and Games] alf_and_co:
i have same issue
[Android Apps and Games] VincentVintage:
After last December Update on Pixel 6 JamesDSP stopped working for Bluetooth Devices. Works only on speaker. Reinstall and all the usual restarts dont help. F*ck you Google. Why dont they simply create proper Audio APIs so Equilizer Apps can work as intended. Is music on smartphones not big enough?
[Android Apps and Games] happynexuss:
Anyone have a good guide for using JamesDSP? I installed the presets shared by schmeggy but it leaves a crackling sound in my headphones. I'd really like to learn how to use JamesDSP or at least learn more about the features available in it but I haven't been able to find much.
[Android Apps and Games] adek89:
it will work I don't have root or twrp but only stock samusng?
[Android Apps and Games] Ghisy:
Is anyone using this on a Pixel 7 Pro and has it working? I was on the November update and, out of nowhere, this app just FC every time I would boot up my phone. I updated to the December feature drop release and same thing. I ended up uninstalling the Magisk module and the app for the time being.

Is JamesDSP still being maintained though?
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
JamesDSP working fine on the Pixel 7 Pro for me. Works on the December QPR1 stable build as well as yesterday's release of QPR2 Beta 1. The only time it should crash on boot is if you are not rooted. I'm also assuming you said "Yes" when it asked if you have a Huawei device when installing.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentVintage:
Yea Im on Pixel 6 and for me the December update broke JamesDSP too. Last Update was in August 2022. We'll see if thats only a pixel problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Ghisy:
I'm rooted and I did say "Yes" about the Huawei device. I just tried reinstalling the zip file and it works again! Weird as I haven't done anything before to make it stop working...
[Android Apps and Games] CharliexCharger:
I have the pixel 6 pro and from what it seems the force closing ties into Bluetooth processing. The app will force close when connected to a Bluetooth device, but not processing through the phones speaker.
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Not really, but the rootless version is.
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Pixel 7 Pro on QPR2 Beta 1. JamesDSP working fine on both speakers and bluetooth. No crashes. Also have ACP (to get rid of audio ducking) and AML installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Loustsoul:
how do I use this?? I downloaded and extracted. How do I apply them?
[Android Apps and Games] Loustsoul:
Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
So did you ever determine if this is actually making your phone louder? That's I used v4a for louder volume more than anything. Yes, tuning for clarity was right up there too, but I want the louder volume. Did you determine if jamesdsp makes the phone and Bluetooth devices
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Increasing Post gain definitely increases volume for me (Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro). You can also use a convolver that increases the volume as part of its function as well.
[Android Apps and Games] schmeggy929:
Yes it does increase the volume. Along with a convolver and DDC file, it pretty much does a good job in loudness, clarity, and bass.

You can check out the different with JamesDSP on and off HERE.
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Flashed in magisk and this is working on my pixel 7 pro tested on the phone speakers and a Bluetooth speaker. The volume increase is awesome. What are recommended convolvers with a safe download location or recommended tweaks for more clear audio? I listen to a lot of podcasts and talk shows more than music. Bass boost and music tuning aren't important to me. I want volume increase and clarity. I have the former now and need the latter. I'm no audio tuning expert so some of the terminology in the app and throughout this thread isn't in my wheelhouse.
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Anyone have a reputable location to download convolvers and instructions on what file folder to put them in on the phone running James DSP?
[Android Apps and Games] Brainium:
It's been a long time since I've posted on here...

I have a Pixel 6 on build TQ1A.221205.011, and I get crashes on Bluetooth as well. I've noticed that it still works with SBC and AAC codecs, but not any others.

I've taken a logcat and it seems that Google has made some changes to Bluetooth media streaming:

checkEffectCompatibility_l: global effect JamesDSP v3.05 not supported on spatializer thread AudioOut_CD

set(): AudioFlinger could not create effect f98765f4-c321-5de6-9a45-123459495ab2 / f27317f4-c984-4de6-9a90-545759495bf2, status: -22

The full logcat is attached. Hope it can be of use!
[Android Apps and Games] lysaer:
I am picking up a pixel 7 pro tomorrow and want to install a good audio mod.

Currently I use Viper4android but that's kind of deprecated now so I was looking for alternatives when I came across Jamesdsp, but it looks like it is also out of development as well having no updates in the last 2 years.

Is there a particular reason why the good audio managers all seem to stop being supported and there aren't that many around?
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Probably because they don't get paid and people look for hacked apps, so they get robbed. I'm not being a jerk, I'm being serious. These guys need paid.
[Android Apps and Games] lysaer:
I have donated to a lot of independent projects but I don't really understand why they don't charge for some of their apps
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
I think they have to start to give themselves incentive, reward, and to give us good products.

Good for you. We all need to start joining you in your generosity. It seems development has really dropped off for Android. I understand that there are a lot of different reasons beyond not getting paid. Some of it for sure has to do with it though as some of the developers have stated themselves concerning different projects that are fan favorites here on XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] Xdevillived666:
Can u link it ?
[Android Apps and Games] Xdevillived666:
Mind sharing s link for the updated zip and breif instructions? Do i need to spoof a Huawei device on first flash prompt(volume up)?

Are you definitely rooted? I had the same issue of force close but when I selected that it was a Huawei device it appears to be working for me, pixel 7 pro
[Android Apps and Games] kkeith:
Are there any settings you're using to make sure it works? I installed the other day and it was working fine, I did notice if I had the LDAC Codec enabled it wouldn't but now today there's no difference

Hi. I installed this module, but chose Huawei device, installed manager dsp, automatically, but then app was crashing so I uninstalled it and tried non huawei and huawei option non of them is bringing me back with manager. Do you have by any chance solution for this?
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
all of a sudden this started force closing on me. no idea why. suggestions?

EDIT: after several reboots this this working again. the app acts like it's been reset. my settings and applied theme is gone. It's working though. no idea what happened or what really was done to make it work.
[Android Apps and Games] cbomb1337:
This isn't working for me in pixel 6 latest firmware Feb. Any one else having this issue
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Came here to see if anyone else was reporting this. I am on a pixel 7 pro with the latest February update, magisk 25.2, Kiri kernel 1.2.4, lsposed 1.8.6, James DSP v4.6 from 8-4-2022 and this isn't working. I toggle the master switch and it now makes no difference.

Does anyone have any suggestions, beta version, Alfa versions, or update versions to try? Where does v4a stand? Right when I got this working I thought someone had a fork of working on the 64bit pixel 7/pro, but reports conflicted. I thought it was a fork with a thread here on XDA. I forget which one though.

I have spatial audio now with the latest factory update, but the volume boost from jamesdsp is still a must. I gotta have that equalizer control to boost the vocals for listening to all the podcasts I listen to too!! What do we have to do to get this running again?
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Does anyone use this anymore? Is there a working viper version now? I can't believe this thread isn't exploding with users having issues after the February update, this is unless there is no user base anymore. Anyone have any suggested fixes?
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
JamesDSP v4.6 is working fine for me on A13 QPR2 Beta 3.1 on my Pixel 7 Pro and A14 DP1 on my Pixel 6 Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Is there anyway to get hold of the dev other than here in this thread? There are a few of us having issues without any apparent reason.... I'm on February stable.

[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
The developer has stated he's no no longer working on the rooted version, only the unrooted version.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
There is a V4A Beta 64-bit version that should work now on the new devices (I have A13, but not A12 and it works for me)

Check in the Viper4Android thread, Telegram channel address was posted there

Actually, their GiThub address:

but really, for anything else related to that V4A, please first read in the XDA Viper4Android thread and then ask there or on the TG channel

Actually, from the given GitHub page you can i stall, read its status and also find the TG address
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
That version also works on A14 DP1 on my Pixel 6 Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] GuestNoOne:
V4A Rebuild dont work for me as he does not find any driver (V0.1.0 and 0.2.0 tested) - trying the classic V4A was not my intention as its "too old", so I went with JamesDSP.

The Rootless Version svcks : After every song in VLC it goes Mute and requires to turn off/on JamesDSP again,

Spotify aint working (even with Revanged Patch for Sound Capture),

and overall its a total mess with the "Capturing" and "Casting" Concept in my opinin!

So I tried JamesDSP 4.6 Magisk Module but the installed APK wont start either and crashes immediately.

I was already frustrated and thought I need to use the old V4A stuff,

BUT there is another Option!

RootlessJamesDSP/BUILD_ROOT.md at master · timschneeb/RootlessJamesDSP

An implementation of the system-wide JamesDSP audio processing engine for non-rooted Android devices - timschneeb/RootlessJamesDSP

Check the official Tutorial for the latest official Root-Builds of JamesDSP!

After installing Magisk Module, you can uninstall the preinstalled, old, APK,

and install the latest Root Build Version which you download from Github!

Works flawless for me with Root-JamesDSP 1.2.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ (beyond2lte) with latest official LOS19.1 and Magisk/LSPosed/Zygisk!

Spotify works without any Sound Capture Patch - because root! -

and I dont suffer "stops" between songs like with the Rootless version,

the performance also is great and I dont feel any latency when switching Presets and I dont see a lag/desync in videos!

Im satisfied more than enough.

Have fun.
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
So is this root or rootless? The instructions talk about going to the rootless jamesdsp GitHub.

Is this where we're supposed to download it from? The APK is a zip file. Do we flash it through magisk? Do I need to uninstall the v9. 1 that I already have? My James DSP app is v9. 1. The magisk module is 4.6
[Android Apps and Games] GuestNoOne:
How to tell you polity to just READ the text in the link and your questions will be solved ;) ?

The ZIP archive you download on Github contains the regular APK.

Ive installed the APK with regular package installer - not via Magisk.

Because I sometimes struggle to understand things too, I know that calming down and reading twice or three times helps to properly understand the instructions.

But I will repeat myself once for you: Install JamesDSP 4.6 Magisk Module - Reboot - Uninstall JamesDSP APK that got auto installed by Magisk - go to the Rootless JamesDSP Github Page Ive linked above - follow the link in there and download a ROOT-Build in the Artifacts Section - Extract the APK from the ZIP - Install the APK via Package Installer - Restart Phone - Done.

BTW: Reported a bug with the AutoEQAPI/AutoEQPackages ThePBone created - and freaking hell this guy is super fast and fixed the issue at 00:00h in the night in less than 30 minutes after reporting it in GitHub....

I clearly have to donate some coffee to him!

Huge respect and credits to ThePBone
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Ok got it working. I was hung up because the APK you linked to is titled APK "preview". That implied it's incomplete to me. Also I've never downloaded an APK in a zip. Why is it provided like that? Typically APKs are just that- a line APK. Either way. I got it working. Thanks.

I don't seem to have boosted volume working though. The limiter can decrease volume but it doesn't boost it.

Anybody have presets for samsung buds pro? Just installed this on my pixel 7 pro and have no idea which settings to use.
[Android Apps and Games] Nords99:
I installed following your instructions as best as I could, but it's having an issue with the magisk module itself. After following your steps, I open the new root APK and it says "Magisk module not installed - failed to load libjamesdsp.so" before asking me to install the magisk module or reinstall with the correct settings (though when I did install I correctly enabled Huawei compability). Any knowledge of what might be causing that? I do have a libjamesdsp.so file in path /vendor/lib/soundfx/libjamesdsp.so.

To this method's credit, I can at least open the app now (before it would immediately crash upon opening).

Using Oneplus 8 running Evolution X 7.7 and magisk 25.2 (also tried on 26.0).
[Android Apps and Games] Schroeder09:
Do people using this on the Google pixel 7/pro series have this running after the April update?
[Android Apps and Games] Ghisy:
Here too. Weird thing is it FCs every time I update the firmware or Magisk. I have to uninstall/reinstall it and it works fine afterwards. Make sure you make a backup of your preset before updating though.
[Android Apps and Games] Yeedatoy:
After you install the module and reboot, uninstall the James DSP app, go to the rootless James DSP GitHub and scroll to the bottom and you'll find an APK for the new interface meant to work with root. Install it and it works automatically with the module, has the newer interface and comes with a ****load of presets and sounds twice as good.

James DSP the latest version and viper 0.3.0 do work together, yes with audio modification library version 4.2. I'm actually running the combination currently on my pixel 7.

Xiaomi 11 ultra, MIUI 14 xiaomi.eu latest weekly. James DSP stopped working along with some other apps, it crashes when trying to open.

Now since it's hardly a coincidence, a dev of mirror2rear app found out that either Xiaomi or Google is responsible for including some API checks, so maybe it's related here too. I know James DSP hasn't been updated in a long time, but maybe someone knows a workaround for this, or at least some idea to try?
