Kind of an annoying thing I've had since using JamesDSP as well as over the years with Viper4Android and curious if it's something that may be looked into at some point - Assistant not working properly from the Android Auto app - not sure about AA integrated to a car, but the standalone version that just runs from the phone.

Basically, I can use the hot words "Hey Google" or "OK Google" and I get the chime and it listens. I can speak and the Google Assistant logo moves as if it hears me, but nothing happens next. It seems to not execute what I ask. It doesn't even speak back to me. If I receive a text, I tap it to read it back to me and I hear nothing, but the UI appears to be trying to read it.

Without either sound mod, Assistant works fine in AA. Assistant works fine outside of Android Auto, though. And while connected to the car, I can use other voice inputs just fine, such as the mic button from inside Google Play Music for search. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or not.

Current phone is Essential PH-1, but I've had the same issues on my Nexus 6 over a year ago when I was using Viper4Android. I know this has nothing to do with Viper, just bringing it up for similarity purposes. Issue is definitely there with JamesDSP as well.

[MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] Latest magisk module 1.9.7 works on Huawei P9 running oreo without Audio library modification. The only issue exists, that the app wont stop the process, so i have to force stop it in settings. Is that a have to be and the battery should be fine or a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] Zackptg5:
It's a system-wide dsp so it needs to be running all the time. Shouldn't affect battery much

Will this zip work on latest Magisk Canary build? If not anything I can change that's relatively simple to make it work?

(OT - same question for Notification Helper Remover)

I've got no problem modifying the zip but would be helpful if pointed in the right direction ? )
[Android Apps and Games] Zackptg5:
Unlikely. Lots of changes there (a new module template will be dropped for it at some point too). All the stuff you'd need to modify would be in the common/unityfiles/util_functions.sh file
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Thanks for the update :good:. Just wanted to mention that the old version of this and V4A are still showing in the downloads folder.
[Android Apps and Games] Zackptg5:
Whoops, forgot about that. I'll update it in a minute. Thanks!

Edit: Done :)
[Android Apps and Games] NickosD:
In V4A there is an option to increase sound output. Can you add this option? Or maybe is the reason that V4A cannot process ldac in the first place?

With V4A I can't process ldac files that's why I use yours :)

[Android Apps and Games] backboycn:
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I am in Oreo 8.1. What does it mean 'Install it manually'? Do you mean install it in recovery? I have done so. It was same. No JamesDSP is found in my Apps.

Latest 1.9.8 update causes me to be stuck in Huawei logo on my p20pro. Older 1.9.7 works ok on pie on my p20 pro with .168 ROM

UPDATE : Managed to get it working by flashing 168 patched_boot.img, but I can no longer run JDSP on .197 rom without getting stuck on Huawei logo...

To anyone who faced the same problem of getting stuck in Huawei logo after installing, flash back an earlier patched_boot.img (in my case 168), then flash the latest.

I strongly believe Huawei made some changes in the 19x rom causing it to stuck.

Did anyone managed to get it working on the latest ROM?

report from D6603 RXWS 4.0, Cpu ondemand

- Work so good, the bass so deep and smooth.

- Imo, the sound better than V4A.

- in V4A somehow the volume/quality sounds (i guess it is bit rate of signal sound) getting down in spotify, but in JamesDSP i didn't heard it. More stable.

- No crackling sound on sony headset MH750 with actived the equalizer, than V4A.

I've been holding off installing these but just found out that the latest Canary builds have backwards compatability built in. Appears to work. ?

One minor issue. James gave me a prompt about a lib workaround. I selected Volume down (not needed). Screen told me "lib workaround applied". Oops. So either the message is wrong or it applied it when it shouldn't. ☹️

If you want logs let me know.

[MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] any solution to run on Huawei Emui9?
[Android Apps and Games] sualpine:
Hey guys, loving this app, does exactly what I was looking for. The issue I'm having is that it will randomly stop working, and even when reloading the preferences or disabling and then reenabling the master switch, the effects stay off. The only thing I can do is force quit the app and then as soon as it's launched the effects start working again. Any ideas? On a Pixel 3 XL stock ROM with Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Setting the app to ignore battery optimizations helps but still not perfect. But I've only had issues with this happening since this week's security update on my Essential phone. Prior to the March update, it has been working just fine for me.

But same problem you're describing since this latest update to Android. Ignore battery optimizations did help so far. I've still had to force stop the app to get it working a few times but less often.

I wonder if Ainur JamesDSP is built on Ainur Sauron MK3?

Whatever I activate JamesDSP (even without any sfx turned on) I feel the sound signature is pretty different than Ainur Sauron DSP.
[Android Apps and Games] 1qazwsx4:
Hi guys, absolutely love this sound mod but one issue I need help with. I use power amp and to get things working that requires disabling DVC which seems to automatically equalise the volume (sound leveler?) Is there any setting in James DSP to do this? Or any way other people are achieving this?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Read this https://www.howtogeek.com/57903/htg-explains-how-does-dynamic-range-compression-work/ then play with the dynamic range compression settings in James.
[Android Apps and Games] 1qazwsx4:
Thank you for the link I had a read through but I'm guessing this won't effect the actual volume which is what I'm after, for example some songs are alot quieter than others and I wanted a way to "average" the actual volumes not the range of sounds within a song (instead of turning the radio up for one song then back down again for the next due to say an iTunes song vs a song burned from a CD) apologies if this is exactly what DRC helps with, I'm just assuming differently from what I read. Will try this out tomorrow morning but appreciate any further thoughts

Edit: I think the word is "normalizing" the audio

Load magisk module, install it, extract apk from zip and install, nothing more to do.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Thanks, installed, working fine on Huawei P9, EVA-AL10c00b540:

- Full Feature

- Huawei

- No lib workaround

When extraced the zip, two JamesDSPManager.apk found (with different MD5 hashes) - installed the one from ff.tar (Full Feature)
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
1) You can download Convolvers and DDC from

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904011552

Unzip and

- copy IRS files from Kernel folder to Internal memory: /JamesDSP/Convolver

- enable Convolver and select an Impulse Response filter

- copy VDC files from DDC folder to Internal memory: /JamesDSP/DDC

- enable ViPER-DDC and select a DDC file

Btw, with IdealEQ.vds for DDC file, there is also a notable increase in Volume (tested for Speaker and Headset)

2) For Equalizer, enable Hybrid equalizer (for Speaker, Headset and Bluetooth), select Custom, and from the top-right menu chose Save preset, name it like MyDefault

Open by eg MiXPlorer, Internal memory:

/JamesDSP/Presets/MyDefault/james.dsp.speaker.xml

(repeat the same for Headset and Bluetooth XML files)

edit as Text file, find the line starting with

<string name="dsp.tone.eq.custom">

and replace by 'Small speaker' parameters:

<string name="dsp.tone.eq.custom">7.0;6.8;6.4;3.5;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;0.0;-3.5;-6.4;-3.3;-3.5;</string>

Then in JamesDSP, top-right menu, chose Load preset and select your MyDefault

[Android Apps and Games] Saipion:
Do you use irs or just ddc
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
I've disabled Convolver (IRS) because various different algorithms and effects lead to unpredictable results - my current settings as on the screenshot in post #654

Besides, I had distortions in reproduction (breaks and so), and got them away when disabled Convolver (maybe algorithms colliding, maybe not enough processing power - but on my second P9 with Nougat and Viper4Android, Convolver works perfectly, not introducing any breaks in reproduction and so)
[Android Apps and Games] Saipion:
Ah I see. I'll have a play around and see what works. Shame I can't get V4A to work
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
At least, you can disable annoying permanent notification in status bar and permanent notification on locked screen

But then I have notification that JasonDSP is draining battery, so I still need to Force Stop it from Settings/Apps, when I don't need it anymore

Just wanted to share that the latest version of this finally installs the JamesDSP apk on my Essential PH-1 on today's April security update for Android Pie.

A big thank you, for the provided files and descriptions! Since Oreo I lost Viper and tried to compensate with a USB DAC, which is a pain in the butt using mobile. Now my trusty P10 screams again. At least with the internal speaker tested. I can't wait to test my headphones when I'm home again.

Thank you Team JamesDSP and thank you zgfg!
[Android Apps and Games] CandymanG:
Wow, I have to repeat: Thank you for this mod! It is just as good as having Viper back on my phone. Through my headphones it sounds awesome with the right tweaks here and there.

May I ask the dev team, if it is possible to create a module for the digital output (USB), please? I connect via USB-cable to my car stereo and unfortunately this way I can't make use of JamesDSP.
[Android Apps and Games] FurFur_:
Every 2nd JamesDsp update breaks something ? Right now I'm struggling with getting the app to work again. It didn't install it by itself so I installed it manually.

[MENTION=5796885]james3460297[/MENTION]

Any ideas on why I have sometimes like a music lag every 10 sec or so? It's like a temporally spike. I'm using 1000xm3 with ldac.

With airbuds and HD audio I don't have them.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
From what I gathered, it's not an issue with this mod. High bitrate audio like LDAC and aptx can struggle to get enough bandwidth from Bluetooth. Bluetooth was never really meant for this kind of demand for data. And the more devices on the 2.4 Ghz band (Bluetooth, wifi, some radios, wireless mice, etc), the more interference you'll get.

For example, I use aptx and whether I'm on stock audio, Viper, or this, I have a similar issue. When I'm home in the suburbs with very few people around, everything works just fine. When I work in the city, I can't put my phone in my pants pocket or I'll get stuttering and lag. I have to either hold it or place my phone in a jacket pocket that's closer to the headphones.
[Android Apps and Games] cybugz:
Hi guys... where is the vacum emulator on the settings.?

[Android Apps and Games] sinthemau:
Hi all,

I've been using V4A but with new Pie and/or Magisk 19.1 I'm not more able to use it (V4A does not appear in App drawer anymore...).

So I would like to try JamesDSP installing directly from Magisk Manager as a Module.

My setup is:

Xiaomi MI A2 Lite, rooted Magisk 19.1, no other Audio Mod but AudModLib as Magisk Module

Before trying it I've a doubt in uninstalling it if it would not work; I read in the opening thread that:

Uninstall:

Delete module in Magisk Manager

Flash same version again in Magisk Manager, Flashfire, or recovery

Add "uninstall" to zip name to force uninstall

I couldn't understand if I have to do ALL THIS STEPS or with Module installing it's sufficient to do only the first one. Sorry, my bad...but I cannot understand mainly the second step (re-flash it again after the uninstalling)

Please do you have suggestions.

Thanks so much for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Do either of the 3 to uninstall. Those are 3 different ways to uninstall it.
[Android Apps and Games] sinthemau:
Got it! I supposed but want to be sure. Thanks I'm going to try

EDIT

I've done it. But like with V4A all seems OK (Module appears active in Magisk Manager) but I cannot go with the Audio Manager: it doesn't show anywhere, not in the App Drawer nor elsewhere.

Am I doing something bad or my system doesn't accept more Audio Mods???
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Try rebooting. May not have been mounted by Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
If James (or any other unity mod) is the only one you're running you don't need AML (AudioManager). If you do use AML I recommend that it's the last module you install. Anytime I upgrade/add/remove a unity sound mod (I have multiples, currently James+Sauron) I remove AML first, make the change them reinstall AML. Theoretically this isn't required, but I do it anyway. I also tend to use TWRP for these modules (again, if using only one it really doesn't matter).

The Audio Manager will not show anywhere - it's function is to combine changes from the multiple sound mods so they don't step on each other, and it does this in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] sinthemau:
Booteed more times: nothing changed

Uninstalled all mods then installed only James (no more AML) and nothing changed...I'm beginning to think that with Pie upgrade and Magisk 19.1 my setup cannot install again any Audio Module. Pity but that is at the moment. Thanks for the help.

If anyone have ideas I will follow the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] dcxtraeon:
When installing audio modules, install then in the following order: Ainur > Jamesdsp >*other audio modules of your choosing > Audio compatibility > Audio Modification (AML). This way all of your audio module should be working as intended
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
I assumed it wouldn't work, but I didn't see it reported - JamesDSP doesn't seem to work with Android Q. Just letting anyone searching for an answer know and if the devs aren't aware, letting them know.

I am using an Essential PH-1, Android Q beta 3. The Magisk module installs, the app doesn't appear in the app drawer. When attempting to sideload the app, the typical Android Q pop-up appears saying the app was developed for an older version of Android (this doesn't seem to matter for most apps I've used though). Then going past the pop-up, the JamesDSP app crashes immediately after opening.

Did you disable or remove the built-in EQ? Android can only use one or the other and tends to default to the stock EQ. Go to Android Settings, Apps, show system apps, select either AudioFX or MusicFX, then disable.
