There is a nice bit more loudness, and the Clarity is much much better... a bit less of the bambooish charachter to the sound that it used to have, but as an audio device, it is improved! I'd say it gained about 10dB!! Nice! (I like LOUD) Sounds CLEANER too...
NOW, you have to use adb, the android-software-development-kit on linux, windows, or mac. I used Linux, here's the thread:
[Q] How to install adb on linux??? (ubuntu) - xda-developers
that got me started, but I'm on Gentoo Linux, so everything was installed instead of in "/home/user/sdk/tools" on Gentoo...
You emerge the "android-sdk.ebuild" and issue these commands:
$ echo $PATH (should return the directories associated with $PATH)
$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/android-sdk-1.5/tools (replace with path to your tools directory, you may need to add 'sudo' to the beginning of this cmd)
$ echo $PATH (you should now see your tools directory added to the end of the $PATH variable)
$ adb devices (now adb should do something, if nothing else at least error, no devices)
adb should automatically run as root for you now that it's in your path, you may have to open your file manager with gksu or if you're using Thunar like me, open a root session of Thunar... on Xfce of course! LOL your choice!
Then I used Method 1 to "push" the *.csv files to my phone's proper directory's using this information using the adb shell:
METHOD 1:
Code:
adb remount
- wait for the 'remount succeeded' message
adb push Desktop/AudioFilter.csv system/etc
adb push Desktop/AudioPara4.csv system/etc
adb push Desktop/AudioPara4_TMUS.csv system/etc - Optional
if the version you are using doesn't contain a TMUS file, just leave it out. it isn't vital.
once that has all worked correctly it is just a matter of:
Code:
adb shell
reboot
Then your G-1 / HTC-Magic Reboots Successfully... and you can enjoy Louder and very Clear Headphone Out Audio!! (using AudioPara4.csv from the NEW_AudioMod V4_r3.zip available
