Android Stock Equalizer (Android Q) and Snapdragon Audio+ (Oreo) - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Hi there!.
I'm here asking for help, again... about a problem I've been having since updating from Oreo and back then I could fix it in Pie big thanks to @TechGenius , the user that gave us a fix in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/android-stock-equalizer-pie-snapdragon-t3896931
I was really, really so happy back then because I could upgrade my android without losing the one and only equalizer which I fallen in love with.
I'm a person that enjoys a lot listening to music and I became very dependant on this eq. I tried several others equalizers like viper4android, etc, to get detached to this one and give the others a try but none of them does it like the Snapdragon Audio+ in terms of quality, surrounding, clean bass and empowering the music.
I would love the Snapdragon Audio+ somehow to be implemented or ported to Android 10 Q even if unlocking bootloader &/or root the phone or anything more complex is necessary.
I wanted to ask you guys, if someone knows a way to implement this or could bring a solution to this I'd be really really grateful. I miss that equalizer so much and I tried several things to see if I can bring a fix but with my short knowledge I couldn't do anything.
The app fix that worked in Pie doesn't work anymore in Android 10 Q and I'm sadly in Pie again because of that equalizer...
The problem with the fix (in stock Android Q) is: The app installs with success and the interface changes but the equalizer itself doesn't work anymore, it doesn't change the sound at all, the volume is bugged and also the "bass boost" bar, the "surround sound" bar and the reverb doesn't work anymore.

[webtop] Sounding off in Ubuntu

This is an article I've been meaning to write for a little while now, since audio on the Ubuntu part of the Atrix is a bit tricky.
The basic idea is this: when in lapdock mode, it would be nice to have a music player that's designed for that form factor. As such, a decent starting point is the default GNOME music management program for Ubuntu 9.04: Rhythmbox.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, after installing Rhythmbox, three plugin errors pop up. Two of them don't matter much to me (the jamendo and the Magnatune Store ones) and can be disabled, but cover art should work. A bit of Google footwork reveals that installing python-gst0.10 fixes that (and the stores too).
Unfortunately, an attempt to then play a FLAC causes... playback with no sound. Based on a previous post, pulseaudio appears to serve as the audio backbone. Rhythmbox, on the other hand, uses GStreamer, so that connection might not be working properly.
Another Google search ends up bringing up a wiki page that suggests that gnome-media needs to be installed so that we can run gstreamer-properties.
But, the pulseaudio plugin supposedly isn't installed. So, gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio needs to be installed as well.
And, then, finally! It's possible to play music via Rhythmbox! This should also allow any other GStreamer-based programs to output sound as well.
P.S. Yes, I like the occasionally bad joke, as the title implies.
who listens to flac media files anyways
awesome, thanks!
and as you suspected it does fix sound in other apps, like pidgin.
hope you don't mind i added it to my list.

Bluetooth car audio issue HALP

Owner of an S4A and I love the phone, it convinced me to leave iphone for good.... until now. I recently installed a new head unit in my truck a Sony XAV-601bt, and when the bluetooth audio connects it asks to complete some action but i don't know what it is. No matter what i do music calls etc work fine on the head unit but for some reason my phone forgets the default launcher (nova launcher) and default music player (rocket) and default SMS app (gosms). I've exhausted google search looking for anything that resets app defaults and only found app managers etc, and i've not found anything related to the radio.
My question is this is there a way to find out what action is being executed so that I can find the correct app for it? I'm thinking that without that action it's causing strangeness with the rest of the phone
here is the screen i get when the phone pairs to the head unit

You need 25 posts before you can post pics or links on XDA. My S4A works fine with my Sony head unit on my Harley. The first time it connected it asked if it could access my contacts. If you somehow skipped that step that might be your problem. You also mentioned what you say are default apps, but those sound like the names of non-stock apps. You may have set them as the defaults, but they may not work properly with other devices expecting to interface with the apps as the phone came from Samsung.

Strange ghost-like overlay

Hello everybody,
I installed fresh AICP rom on my s3 ( 4g, I9305), and everything works just fine ( had to fiddle a bit with a modem firmware, but in the end everything run just fine...)
Until I noticed ( with my sharp eyes ) that there's an almost invisible overlay covering lower portion of the screen...
I checked all the settings more than once and couldn't find a reason...
Then I flashed two more different rom's ( lineage and RR), same thing... Full wipe, clean install, first boot.. and the ghost overlay was there from the beginning.
Then one more time flashing AICP ( I kinda like it the most...), took some photos, crank the levels in Photoshop and voila... No more no less it's a ghost keyboard, not possible to interact with it in any way... but present everywhere...
Anyone has a clue why this ghost keyboard is there, and how to remove it?

Ok, it looks like it took me a little bit of googling to learn new thing.
Screen burn-in...
I guess that's the reason. And since it's a "natural" kind of thing for (am)oled displays...
I'll leave the thread just in case someone knows how to magically fix this
You can try this little app here
Just run it a few hours. It doesn't fix the problem totally but it helped a lot in my I9300. Now I barely notice the burn-in that my phone has in the status bar.
Will try it tonight... Thanks for the heads up.

Question Sound Equalizer like Viper4Android

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there is a sound equalizer/modifier like Viper4Android? (I couldn't get it to work, and nobody answers forum questions- so I assume it's a dead project?)
Do you use the system settings or something else?
Thanks!
You're 100% right about hard to get answers but I've always had better luck with JamesDSP(Flash thru Magisk)
Try poweramp equalizer. You can find it on playstore.

After spending the last day on this, I've gotten Viper4Android working on my new Pixel 5a running Android 12.

This thread has all the info about why Viper doesn't work out-of-the box on Android12 and how to fix it manually + a couple of magisk mods that someone made to automate the process instead of manually editing the selinux rules.
programminghoch10 (the dev of Lygisk) has a github repo that does all of that and some extras, both stock pixel AOSP and LineageOS - ViPER4AndroidRepackaged
I installed ViPER4AndroidRepackaged from storage in Magisk Manager Canary, rebooted, and that's it. Didn't have to fiddle with the viper driver or any other audio mods/settings. Awesome.

Sorry for not having an answer to Your question: Where did You download it? How is RAM/App experience in terms of 'how long are apps hold in RAM' until MIUI is closing them to free up RAM? Are there positive changes relating to that compared to MIUI 13/12? Anything else which is worth to mention about MIUI 14?

Sorry my English is not good.
I downloaded it on xiaomiui.net, this miui14 version is in development.
The multitasking experience is quite good, unlike MIUI 13 which is very annoying when multitasking is always lost.
I don't see much change compared to miui13
