[Magisk Module] BDBoost: iBasso DX180 Balanced Performance Tweaks (v2.8.1 4/14/25)

[spacecase25]

I made a Magisk Module with the tweaks I've been using and have been working well for me. The module does not include any debloating and you will need a rooted device to use it.

This is offered as is with no warranty or any guarantee or promise of wild gains. Just gives me good battery life and trouble free playback. Has only been tested (and will only be tested) on the DX180, but none of these tweaks are anything specific to Snapdragon or the DX180 device. In theory it should work for any Android DAP, but I make no guarantees or representations as such. The beauty of Magisk Modules is that they are completely reversible without needing to reflash to stock.

He also has a de-bloating guide, if you would like to remove some unneeded packages. Personally, I don't find it to be completely necessary, but I have removed a few packages.

New version 2.8 released.

New version 2.8.1 released. Made an adjustment to the CPU scaling frequency. Keeps more consistent and lower clock speeds. Possibly a tiny bit better battery life, may or may not be noticable. Been running this version for at least a week with no issues.

Thanks for sharing. I'll try this with Fiio M23, SD660.
