To bypass the current limitations and maybe become able to get a little bit more flexible with the implementaion/potentially find a more (battery) efficient way, what do you think about integrating/building an alternative hook/version for rooted users?

greetings and thx a lot for ur important work!

whenever i enter the command given in the adb method of the app in the interactive shell, it throws back this error "No permissions Specified".

Hi
can we flash something in twrp/ofox and make it work ?
and thank you

I see there is exclude app functionality, but I reckon it would be awesome if it was possible to apply different effects to different apps. Personally for myself exploring options for seamless dual content consumption.

Hi, I installed from F-Droid (Droid-ify frontend), and the version I'm seeing there is way behind even after repeatedly refreshing the repo.

If I look on the Play Store it thinks I'm up to date, so I can't do anything from there unless I uninstall.

I might be missing something but it seems like the release page only has zips of the source code and not a built apk to download.

Is it recommended to only use the Play Store version?

The Root version crashes trying to open the IRS file selection dialog/menu for the Convolver.

This issue was introduced on version 1.4.1, version 1.4.0 works perfecty.

Thanks for your awesome work!

App is working with YouTube (ReVanced Extended) but doesn't produce any sound when running with Poweramp (Speaker and Bluetooth). When disabling Rootless James DSP sound is back. Any settings in Poweramp that has to be adapted?
One thing:
When I change in Troubleshooting the setting between Audio Service Dump and Audio Policy Service Dump I can hear sound for about a second.

Dear team of RootlessJamesDSP,

I am not quite sure if I am wrong or mistaken in my settings of VLC player, but I happen to have problems with playing audio files. For instance, after playing one track, the second doesn't produce sound, though it seems VLC is still working and playing the track. Maybe it is my phone, or the settings of VLC are off track. I paid attention not to use hardware acceleration options in the settings.

Thank you for your valuable work,

When I connect to my 2015 Chevy Cruze with factory stereo, Apple Music will automatically start playing but no audio comes out of the car speakers, and the car controls don't work. I have to use the app controls to pause and then play the music once, and then everything works. This happens every time I reconnect to the car stereo. It's not an issue without JamesDSP running. Is the no audio a separate issue maybe?

Using my Galaxy Buds Live, the tap controls on the buds mostly don't work. Most of the time, I can pause audio but can't start it back up. The buds beep to acknowledge the input, but nothing happens. Sometimes I can't even pause.

I'm on a Galaxy Z Flip 4 with the latest OS updates, using Shizuku. Currently on v1.3.2 of the app and up to date Apple Music. The earbud control issue happens with YouTube/Revanced/Newpipe as well.

So:

1. legacy mode on = bluetooth audio processing not working (see screenshot)
2. legacy mode off = bluetooth audio processing works but only with some apps (no youtube).

Pixel 7 Pro, Android 13 January firmware
Magisk canary 25.0 (25206)
Latest root JamesDSP 1.2.2 arm64

I don't know why it happens. App stops detecting devices and applies the speaker profile to Bluetooth headset. Also, the application apparently understands that there are problems and displays a question mark icon. Only forced closure helps to bring the application out of this state. This has happened to me on aosp-based roms as well.

Hi,
I'm wondering, since the rooted-version of JamesDSP works from android 5, will RootlessJamesDSP ever be available for some earlier android versions? I'm mostly wondering about android 9 (since I know it is the earliest android version you can use Poweramp EQ on). I do fully understand if never will be possible, but I'm asking since I'd like to use a systemwide convolver on an non-rootable android 9 device.

Thanks for your great application (I use it on my other phone).

I'm on a moto e6 plus, Android 9 (API level 28), with "aarch64" kernel (with the default ROM). Why can't I install this app?

Strange behaviour that only happens when audio processing is active with Apple music: my earbuds touch control works to pause playback , but to restart I need to activate twice. The earbuds recognise both activations (beep feedback). Tested on two pairs of earbuds (different brands).

Works fine when audio processing with Foobar2000.

Hi @ThePBone ! Just wanted to say thanks for the implementation of the per-device profiles, after using it I realized that this is a really handy and useful feature! It's nice to see the project developing, as the JamesDSP grows with new cool features and translations. Thank you for your hard work!

I know this is not the uttermost technical priority, but please consider adding a monochrome themed icon, introduced for A13. It will make the app blend much better in the home screen. (If you do so, please add it in the root variant as well, as I am using that on my rooted devices.)

Hi @ThePBone! While testing the latest build of the rotless version, I noticed that the "excluded apps" option no longer works. The notification indicates that the enhanced processing option must be enabled for this menu to work, but this option is missing in the rootless version. This problem not present in the build #221 and appeared in build #225 . Thank you!

deezer used to work perfectly fine, but now after tweaking around the audio output on poweramp, deezer became automatically excluded

edit: deezer flat out doesn't work, no audio output even without any effects

Would be nice if the app was universal and if it detected root it would install a root version of itself and otherwise proceed with a rootless setup

Since the app is open source, would be nice to have it on F-Droid

I am not sure if there are any technical limitations, but I think some people would appreciate the ability to use multiple liveprog scripts at once. The best thing would be if we could sort the audio effects by the order in which they process audio.

I'm really new to this, but my guess as to why this might not work is that each liveprog script expects to get the same unprocessed samples as input, but if I give it some already processed samples it will probably break the effect and cause unwanted distortion. Am I understanding this correctly and is this the reason why multiple liveprog scripts can't process the audio at the same time?

Here's the dump log file

It feels as if the app doesn't get enough processing power. This issue is more prevalent when playing high quality audio files.

Also just to note, I'm having to use AudioPolicyService dump as the first option doesn't process the audio for me.

When I use RootlessJamesDSP on the Chinese version of miui14, I get Anti-fraud Protection, which prevents the StatusBar from displaying notifications and always shows red.

Rom:Miui14.0.3.0
RootlessJamesDSP:latest

Hi,

I recently finished setting up JamesDSP on my device, and I'm really enjoying it so far! However, there is one inconvenience that I hope might be fixable. I used ADB to set everything up, and I enabled the optional feature to skip audio capture permission prompts (appops set me.timschneeberger.rootlessjamesdsp PROJECT_MEDIA allow). However, even after having done this, the app still displays a notification upon rebooting that user input is required to launch JamesDSP. Tapping on that notification causes it to dismiss itself and enable JamesDSP. Can the app check for the PROJECT_MEDIA permission at runtime and automatically activate without user interaction if it has already been granted? This is only possible if the permission had previously been enabled using ADB, so I don't consider this to be a privacy concern. If the user doesn't grant the optional permission with ADB, Android will still have to get explicit approval from the user before the PROJECT_MEDIA permission will be enabled; therefore, if JamesDSP queries the status of the PROJECT_MEDIA permission at runtime and it's enabled, the user would have to have enabled the permission via ADB.

Thanks in advance!

The DSP works great, and I'm loving it for my bluetooth buds. However, when I plug in the phone in my car via USB for Android Auto, it'll keep streaming audio through the phone's speaker. The second I turn off audio processing, the audio will automatically switch to car speakers. I'm not well versed with the verbeage in the options and might be missing something, but is this working as intended?

I discovered a workaround that works on my device: add RootlessJamesDSP itself to the "Excluded Apps" list.

As I understand it, some Android custom ROMs include patches to make sure that apps can't block their sound from being captured. This way RootlessJamesDSP unrestrictedly captures itself in an infinite loop.

I couldn't find any explanation for this problem online, so I'm hoping this can be helpful to someone experiencing the same problem.

Thanks for your hard work in developing this wonderful app.

Hey there,

In my process of F-Droid pushing, it looks like there’s Google Play dependencies and that’s not allowed in the F-Droid repo. What are they used for? Are there ways we can disable them?

Video with bug: https://youtube.com/shorts/HLTFhCTJJ2Y?feature=share
Tried with 2 scripts, nothing changes.

Can you add select all and multiple select buttons on the excluded page? Currently only one can be selected. I only want to take effect for a specific app. Thank you so much

I think it would be really useful for a lot of users to be able to exclude certain audio devices from audio processing in the very same way as we can do it with apps. By audio outputs/devices I mean for example "Phone reproductor", "Cable headphones", "Bose Quietcomfort", "Sennheiser X3784 whatever...". The same output devices we can choose from in android media output picker. I don't know if it's possible for user apps to detect the current output device, but I hope it is.

I have to open this app every time I turn my phone on, and then click the button to enable the effect to make the dsp take effect. How can it take effect automatically when I turn the phone on? Thank you so much

Some local music player (Retro Music Player for instance) offers a button to instantly switch to the external equalizer app. On LineageOS the button will get me straight to AudioFX, which is a system app in my LineageOS. I think it would be nice to have RootlessJamesDSP to respond to that intent since this app is much more powerful than AudioFX which I seldomly use.

This app is amazing by the way, it is a perfect alternative to Viper4Android since v4a is damn hard to install and depends on root privilege. The app offers similar functions without compromising almost anything crucial. Many thanks to the great devs!:grinning:

I use the speakerphone to listen to music, watch movies, etc., it makes a strange sound every time there is a voice. specifically like FM radio. I am using Xiaomi 13 Pro.

I feel there's something not optimized properly here... This app is the #2 app draining my battery. I have a feeling the extreme delay and random cutouts when doing anything even slightly using the CPU are somewhat related to this. Mind you that this is a brand new phone and 80% only lasts me a few hours even just listening to audio. Is there anything that could be done to optimize this?

Would it be possible to add custom QS tile to quickly start/stop JamesDSP?

There should be an automatic detection system for profiles. E.g., when a profile is saved, it will be automatically applied when the audio output is switched to it. Also (like many other EQs), it should be able to detect different Bluetooth devices instead of just one profile for all of Bluetooth

This is the error message:

I tried installing via the Huawei method and am still facing the issue. So please let me know how to troubleshoot. Thank you.

Hi

Didnt find any place to report positive tests...
it seems to wrk well for me on Pixel 6a with Vinyl Music Player.

Thanx a lot.

The banner still stay on top of the screen, clicking won't do anything, seems annoying for me

Is this project lack documentation? Or is there any?

There seems to be a really randomly induced problem with audio stuttering. While nothing is intensive is going on with the system. What could be causing this? Is it something todo with the pixel 7 not being able to actually keep up or is it some setting that needs to be changed?

I see that it works fine with YouTube Revanced but I spotted that it doesn't respect the muted audio on auto play videos .

Not a big deal but I thought I could mention it here.

Surely it's not a sort of bug.

Regards
Jim

Hey, I'm having an issue with the Tidal music player where the song kind of replays itself multiple times, like an echo. Even on stock settings with nothing changed. Any help or is it a bug?

Cheers

Hello, ThePBone
Thank for your wonderful work,
sadly it got something wrong with my device, if you got time, please help me take a look, can it solve by changing setting?

In notification shows Active app: Apple music,
by switch the detection method to audioservice dump,
in external dac, the sound play normally, but all sound effect fail, not changing the sound by switching on and off.

For all versions up to and including 1.5.0, Apple Music never stops being actively processed, even if I kill the app, and it's shown twice in the DSP notification. I'll attach a photo. Sometimes when I kill the app, then there's only one instance of Apple Music shown, but most of the time both stay. The DSP can never go idle and so is always using battery if I don't manually toggle it off. The quick setting has helped this a lot and I do appreciate that.

hi when I enable RLJDSP(rootlessjamesdsp) it's not outputting Spotify audio but it's working on other app I already patch it using revance manager and btw I cleared RLJDSP app data but still not working.
