Well, here are the frequencies, from my understanding :

BAND1 : lowpass filter, cutoff frequency is 400 Hz

BAND2 : bandpass filter, center frequency is 500 Hz

BAND3 : bandpass filter, center frequency is 2000 Hz

BAND4 : bandpass filter, center frequency is 4000 Hz

BAND5 : bandpass filter, center frequency is 5000 Hz

BAND6 : bandpass filter, center frequency is 8000 Hz

BAND7 : bandpass filter, center frequency is 9000 Hz

BAND8 : highpass filter, cutoff frequency is 18000 Hz

The numbers seem right for frequencies, but the distribution is really weird. Some bands are overlapping each other and other parts are badly covered (eg. 1000 Hz).

I tried spacing the 6 bands logarithmically (500/1000/2000/4000/8000/16000) with gains similar to the drum&bass setting, but I didn't notice anything really different. Nothing worse, at least.

If you're interested, the hex values for this are 1F4/3E8/7D0/FA0/1F40/3E80.

Also, I noticed the first rows are about IIR filtering, do anyone have information about this ? We could maybe get better equalizing using this than a simple ~6.5 band equalizer (the last band only filters unhearable frequencies, and the first one filters low frequencies that sound really bad on the loudspeaker).
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
I'm probably doing something stupid, but I get an error code when trying to flash the Rock EQ Settings.

I have the pre-installed AudioMod V2 with Haykuro's build, and I simply took the .zip file of the Rock EQ and put it on the SD card, and went to Alt+S to flash it. I get a "Not signed" error. Any clues?
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
no, the EQ settings arn't flashable updates. you need to open the .zip file and adb push the AudioFilter.csv to the phone, or add them to Haykuro's build, sign it and flash it.

it's all explained in the first post of my other thread. :)
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Oh ok :]. I knew it was be being dumb, haha.

Two more questions, if you don't mind: Do these EQ's already have the volume mod built in? And if so, how would I take it out?

And how do I "sign" a mod in order to flash it to the phone?

Thank you so much for your help!
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
*Double post :]
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
The EQ settings do have a boosted volume but to take it out just lower the Gain values (use the pictures in the first post as a guide). I can't give you the default values as the EQ is disabled by default so you will need to just play around with it untill you find a volume you're happy with.

Also, if you have any of my volume mods on your phone you'll need to replace the AudioPara4.csv with the original one, as that boosts the volume a little also.

and all the information you need about signing is in the Theme and Wallpapers section :)
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
LOL Meltus i just scanned your 2D bar code......That was some funny stuff wasn't expecting that LOL nice!

ok back on topic :D:D
[G1 Android Development] fastludeh22:
As meltus said above me the main gain is up, and eq is bumped. But I have used v2 ,v3, dnb, and rock eq, neather of the 2 eqs so far in this theard is as loud as v2 even with main gain up. I think you'll be happy with main gain up and one iof these eq's....personally I keep going back to v3 till I have a chance to make my own. Just turn ur volums down, lol. Works great for that "one" file that has a low volume, now u can turn it up.
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
i did that intentionally so that the sound doesn't distort, which would pretty much defy the point of having a custom EQ setting :p

you could easily just raise all the gains a bit by following the pictures in the first post.

gonna start work on a GUI EQ app soon...

need to learn some java first though lol :D
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i like it- if you make an app for this meltus you will do very well.. i have set a few gscripts- one for V2, another dnb and another for rock..... easy to apply- does it work- i think so......
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
the only problem is getting it to work without rebooting the phone, which ruins the whole concept of it atm.

as soon as i/someone else figures out how to do that i'll try and get an app made.

knowing my luck though, someone will beat me to it and make a fortune lol ><
[G1 Android Development] fastludeh22:
Ya an eq that made it to distort would not be optimal, lol. I just havent had a chance to make one yet. Most of this stuff is done at work, lot of the time while driving, like this post...ya I know. I was just saying I think lukekirstein would be happy with main gain up and one of these eqs.

Ya reebooting is gonna make tweakin these a real pain in the a. Not as abig of deal just swapping between premade ones, but again not optimal.

Is there some sort of soft reboot we could do? Maybe some unmount remount cmd, we'll see
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Hm... on desktop Linux, we could restart the audio subsystem without rebooting; the same goes for video, networking, and almost every other component except for the kernel (but there's kexec).

What kind of audio system is on the Android stack and could it be restarted? My uneducated guess would be yes, but I'm not as familiar with Android.
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
DONE IT!!!

figured out how to change the EQ settings without a reboot using Gscript ^^

will be releasing soon, not yet though, needs some tinkering :D
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Nice work! I had a feeling this would be possible :)
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
fANTASTIC! can't wait for it- if you need someone to test it out let me know. i currently use gscript with a reboot in it to change the Eq....
[G1 Android Development] blackeyedbrian:
I was just about to suggest a possibly dangerous way, im sure yours is safer :D
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
I dunno lol, that's why it needs tinkering :p

Gonna be making an apk soon so you can all test it then :)
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
i think v2 is built into The Dude's 1.2 by default. I like the volume boost, but a couple people have mentioned that the in-call volume is far too loud even when the slider is set to min.

Is there a way to adjust this setting only, perhaps with the filter system (gain setting) youre using?
[G1 Android Development] hellbringer626:
I agree the in-call volume is way too loud. i have to pull the phone from my ear because it hurts so much. I'm trying to figure out how to most easily reset it to stock since it came from a pre-done rom (cyanogenmod)

Hopefully meltus will release his gscript for changing these out soon
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
the in-call volume shouldn't be that loud, it wasn't for me when i used his build Oo

in any case, if you open up the AudioPara4.csv and scroll down past all the codecs, you get to PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0 - 5.

these, as you probably guessed, represent the 5 stages of volume change.

the values that need to be changed are in column H. (you need a basic understanding of hex for this :)) all you are doing is lowering the values.

warning, not been tested, but i imagine this would work.

remember; backup first, and don't blame me for any bricks/damages (although it's impossible to brick your phone doing this lol :p)
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
my in call volume is also really loud as well.... i can live with it though....
[G1 Android Development] flashmp3:
Question from android noob :

After different searches i learnt android doesn't have codecs to perform live audio and video. That is why there is no live-equalizer possible for it ? Am I right ?

Do you think it will be develop ? Do you thing this community will be able to do it ?

I don't understand how in 2009 with the concurrence of Iphone for its amazing music and video managing HTC don't offer sound equalizer :(
[G1 Android Development] xManMythLegend:
Id like to point out Iphone (and I believe the Palm Pre) are without Equalizers.

But your point stands.

I cant take any of these devices seriously as a media player until they do. Myself and many others refuse to listen through garbage "ear buds".Peoples music collections/headphones vary too greatly for some universal flat setting to be the only option. PPC has had it for ages ,even rag tag cheapo mp3 players have EQs no reason these devices shouldnt.
[G1 Android Development] mykenyc:
so what would be a treble boost?
[G1 Android Development] rocketpaul:
Is there an easier way to set ur EQ, maybe an app or something?
[XPERIA X1 General] bigneeker:
i cant figure out how to switch back to the normal back camera (3.2mp one). it keeps on using the frontal one and i have no idea how to switch back.

does anyone know how to do it?
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Open Camera

Tap Wrench

Tap Down Button to open up the three icons: (General Settings) (Camera Settings) and (Video Camera Settings)

Tap on (General Settings)...the icon looks like a camera and a film tape.

Where you see Camera Source, it should say front. Tap on front, and choose back.

Easy.
[XPERIA X1 General] bigneeker:
wow thanks poetryrocksalot!

i cant believe i missed the "down button" on the lower right hand corner

[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I have asked this question on some other xda-developer forums with no solution so thought maybe I was asking in the wrong place.

Basically I have flashed to the new Topaz rom and like the new Start Menu when you tap on Start but I can only add apps and not folders. I want to link to category folders in my Windows/Start/ folder.

Please how can this be done?

I tried to go into the registry to edit the paths for each square but that did not work.

I beg of you lol! Please!

How can this be done? Folders are not .lnk files. Maybe that is the solution to make Folders into .link files.

HELP! :)
[Touch HD General] :
I can answer your question but it is in a wrong section.. so moderators will flog both of us :p
[Touch HD General] Matthes42:
so answer his question and hope for the moderator to move this thread ;-)

btw: i would be interested in the answer as well
[Touch HD General] :
Ok..

Method 1

Only downside is clutter (unlike method2)

Without any third party app lets open a folder called Multimedia in Programs menu:

With a registry Editor got to one of the shortcut keys:

Say: HKLM\SoftwareHTC\Manila\ProgramLauncer\18

Create (if not exists) a string Value :

Name: command

String: windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia

Edit the Path key:

String: windows\fexplore.exe

Save and exit your reg editor.

Click the shortcut and it will launch file explorer with the folder.

You can Change the View options in File Explorer to "Icon".

Please wait for method 2..
[Touch HD General] :
Method 2

Folderview.exe from HTC has been notorious in having a hard coded encrypted path to Programs Folder and could not open any custom folder, and use to end only in questions how to do it. After much reversing this has been almost overcome in this app. Enjoy!! :cool:

Folder Viewer

Q.What does this app do?

A. It allows you to navigate through custom start menu folders on Blacksone that you can create

and categorise your applications. Modified win 6.1 ROMs have replaced the Start Menu with Manila

Programs Tab. However sometimes you need more customised access to your apps.

Instructions:

=========

Add the Favourites icon to start menu

A. Install FolderViewer.cab

B. Open the Fav.reg with Notepad on your Desktop.

In the line :[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\2]

Replace "2" with the icon of your choice in the start group.

The icons are numbered as follows:

0	1	2

3	4	5

6	7	8

And so on...

Create the Start Group Shortcut

Copy the Fav.reg to your Blackstone.

Import the registry the file with your favourite registry Editor.

Create App Shortcuts in windows\Start Menu\Favourites:

Create Subfolders in the "Favourites" folder e.g System, Multimedia, Business and so on.

(A few have been created for you convenience).

Add the application short cuts of your choice to each folder.

Back Navigation:

In each of the custom folder (Multimedia, Business etc,. Add a shortcut to parent("Favourites" folder)

This shortcut called "Favourites.lnk" has been supplied in this package in sample folders.

Restart your HD

. Enjoy!!

Advanced:

You can study the shortcut properties and tweak it your own satisfaction.

Limitations:

1.Navigating All Programs possible on first launch only. You can always click start menu to relaunch.

2.Use the Hard key (Back) to navigate back the second time from a subfolder.

3.Only one level of folders reasonable (but usually enough for most users anyway).

4.Tested on Blackstone with Dutty's 3.4 only.

The author disclaims any responsibility with respect to this application.

Use at your own risk.
[Touch HD General] ASK768:
you could also go on your pc, navigate to the folder, create a shortcut (which would be a .ink file), put the shortcut on your touch hd and then link to it in the registry editor,

[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Thanks Crajee. I used method 1 except did not use the path setting: String: windows\fexplore.exe

Instead I used the path: "\windows\start menu\games" for example

Thank you so much!

A few questions...

1. I want to use the hi res folder icon from "file explorer" each category folder. How can I link to it?

2. What is the path for manilla settings or win mo settings page as I accidentally deleted them?

3. I want to use the hi res topaz icon used for "File explore" in each category folder. What is the "Icon path" info i need? Is it to a specific dll file?

4. Finally, are there any custom icon sets i can impost and choose from or how can i customise my own icons and use them for folders or apps.

Here is the result below.
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
@ tboy2000 on your custom folders you never got error messages trying to open them?
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
(deleted)....
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
no mate.

here is an example of one folder...

....HTC\Manilla\ProgramLauncher\6

(Default)

(value not set)

command

\windows\start menu\office

DispName

Office

Icon Path

Is ReadOnly

0x0 (0)

Path

\windows\Start menu\
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
but that's not a custom folder that's one of the folders cooked into the rom.

I made a folder of my skyscape medical books, named it med books, when i did "windows\start menu\programs\med book" for the path, i get the certificate error or that it cannot be found.

for me, it works using method 1 as crajee outlined, using windows\fexplore.exe.

That aside, i'd also like to know which dll has the icons b/c i don't like having the fexplore icon...fugly...
[Touch HD General] :
Hi tboy2000, Nice to know it works well for U.

Manilla Settings path:

Command = --switchtopage Manila://settings.page

Path = \Windows\manila.exe

IconPath = \windows\HTC\Assets\Images\programlauncher\Program_icon\settings_88.qtc

DispName = [[IDS_SETTINGSTITLE]]

If you want Direct link to "All Settings" then U should use custom apps as I described in another post.

Again it seems not possible to link icons from dll files like in usual shortcuts.

So you need to extract the icon of your choice from the shellres.192.dll (copy to Desktop and extract with resource explorer eg. Reshack. Save as .ico file and copy to windows directory). In the IconPath use "\windows\myicon.ico" where myicon.ico is the name of the icon U extracted.

Not I am aware of. There are a few posts on this in this forum though.
[Touch HD General] :
May be some thing else you have set??

For example for me this method opens up "All programs" with the Title Office..

No Filtering occurs..
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
For me, when i click on a category icon, i get the list of apps in the category with the category title. See images below.

I have also used the pc prog in this link below to change the icons in my start menu...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=513501

I have not set anything else. Yes I used office in my example above but it also works with folders i have made up such as travel.
[Touch HD General] :
Hmmm... tboy2000 I can't understand but that would be cool. Mine always goes to first item for All Programs - Dutty 3.4. Only Title chnages. :confused: What ROM are U using?

That's why i hacked the old method (Method 2).

Anyone else??
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I am using Dutty 3.4 rom also.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I just had a thought. If it just shows All Programs, that means you don't have any sub-folders in your windows start menu directory. Make sure you create new folders and name them for each category.
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
also using dutty v3.4. Can't get shellres192.dll to copy even with total commander, i'm giving up for tonight, maybe later in the week.
[Touch HD General] :
Download ROMExtractor from this forum.

tboy2000, I have all the folders that I point to :)

Finally i found the problem what was driving me against the wall.

You need to give a path out of the Start menu once -temporarily- before every change. Even a SR won't refresh otherwise.

Once U point a folder outside of start menu and then ur custom folder, it works fine. Crazy but that's how it seems to work here(may be some kind of caching occurring). Hope this helps anyone else pulling hair on this too. :D

Once you add ANY one folder shortcut to the Start menu this problem goes away. Just clicking that folder item suffices to refresh everything like a charm.
[Touch HD General] oluwaponmile:
Settings Tab in Start Menu

Would anyone be able to explain in simple steps how to add the "Settings" tab (Personal, System and Connections) in the program list when I click the windows start menu (HTC New Start Menu. Just like in Dutty roms.

I am using other rom that don't have the settings tab and it is not possible to add the tab as it is not present when I am adding programs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
as far as i know there is no rom that does this settings on the new start menu, points to the settings tab in tf3d and clicking all settings from there can take you to the "personal/system/connections" area.
[Touch HD General] :
Since All settings is not a "Folder" in real sense no shortcut possible.

You can however try the control.exe from utils.zip in this post and create a shortcut for it.

[Touch HD General] tboy2000:

I so love these new categories in the start menu. I can easily find what i want instead of going through the long all programs list. I think categories in new start folder should be cooked into new roms.

[Touch HD General] crashDebug:
sorry dude i read your post 10.000 times but still I don't get what i should do (affected by the very same problem.)

I have to point the shortcut in manila via regedit to a folder outside startmenu ? it does not seem to work here

EDIT: managed to make it work, but it is NOT compatible with All programs tab 4 icons: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505400

also, it seems to be case sensitive. "\windows\start menu\whatever" will not work, "\Windows\Start Menu\Whatever" will.
[Touch HD General] :
Yes point to some folder in say "programs" i.e outside windows directory. Soft reset. Click the shortcut. this will open the folder(dummy) Now create a shortcut to a start menu folder of your choice. Soft reset again. now you can say good bye to your dummy short cut.
[Touch HD General] JLowe:
Yes, I read it also before but didn't understand the solution.

It's really simple:

unpack the zip to your storage card and copy the control.exe and the qtc-icon (from tboy2000 post above!) to windows

The reg-file will copy the "All Settings" in the Program Startmenu to the 2nd Icon! So if you want it to another place just edit the regfile (Always remember the real capitalisation of the folder/file names).

The All settings looks in my Rom-version a little bit different in comparison to the "All settings" in settings-Tab but it's a fine alternative.
