[MOD] CM7 Beats Audio + ALSA + AudioFXwidget - Motorola Droid X2

First off this is not my mod all thanks go to Lovetz whose thread I will link and Rockodev and Contradictor who he credits there. Recently I went back to CM7 because of stability issues with the DX2 CM9 ROMS. Once back I started having problems with DSP Manager fc'ing just like I remember. Decided to look for a fix or alternative and found this... IT WORKS GREAT!!!! imho.
As always neither myself or anyone other than YOU are responsible should you mess up your phone, especially if you don't NANDROID BACKUP!!!!!!
1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653140
2. Download the required files referred to in the OP.
3. I used File Explorer to rename DSPManger.apk to DSPManager.apk.old to disable it.
4. Boot into our recovery.
5. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH THE ZIP FILE!!!
6. Flash the zip file downloaded from the above link. (I did not do anything other than flash the zip, ie. mount system & mount data referred to in the OP instructions...I think our recovery does that by default)
7. Reboot... I did not wipe anything
8. Install the AudioFXwidget apk (to "open" the widget settings you must do so via the app draw even after installing the widget on a home page)
Enjoy...
I don't play music alot on my X2 but this MOD has made a vast improvement on my X2, clearer, virtually no skipping even with a browser open and surfing

Do you think this may work on the latest Paranoid Android for the DX2?

There are a few folks saying they were able to flash it successfully on cm9 in the thread I referenced. Be sure to backup 1st and give it a try would be my suggestion.

Tried to install this on Eclipse 2.3 got the same zip install aborted with no apparent cause. disabled DSP, made sure system and data were mounted, still no joy.

I wasn't really interested in the beats audio itself. It's just a brand name championed by guys who want to make money, including the creator who got famous for making music where sonic fidelity is the absolute last concern of all involved in production. /rant.
anyhow, I was more interested in the getting rid of audio skips effect of this mod. I hate messing with EQ's and the main benefit of this mod seems to be getting a working EQ/DSP onto ROMs where they aren't.
I'm of the opinion OP may have missed that his beats zip didn't install correctly and played with the EQ til he got sound he liked. This is only because I haven't seen anyone else reporting success on the DX2, which is a sufficiently different beast than the galaxy ace. I don't mean to imply that OP is incompetent or in any way a bad person.

not working
I have tried this on both CM7 and CM9. It is confirmed not working for both. I have sbf'd wiped everything and it doesn't install... Oh well!

The creator of the mod has an app on Google Play that does the work for you. Works fine on my X2 running the latest Eclipse, and it didn't break my DSP manager either.

Mine hung on "copying to /system". No SU prompt or anything. I made sure SU was updated and tried again, no dice. I installed superSU and still no prompt. Then superSU wouldn't launch. Now I have to root again >.<

Here is some quick info, for those that are debating leaving CM7.
Some (but not all) things that DO NOT WORK:
Netflix
HD-Youtube
Mic
Camera
Some Market apps
Titanium Backup
Most of the hardware problems from CM7 still exist in this CM9 alpha build.
awesome. I don't care how many problems it has since my touchpad is just sitting in my room doing nothing and being lazy.

Did you forget to include ClockWorkMod Recovery in the update folder on SDCard /root?
if you don't care about losing your data you can just flash the zip as you normally would from CWM.
Working pretty good so far. Just had a reboot with root file explorer but otherwise very smooth and usable.
edit: maybe i downloaded the wrong file, but is there a gapps with the new google music? the 7.1 that i downloaded that was linked on page 1 has the old music apk.
Smooth as butter.
Works great, didnt have any issues updating using ACME installer 2.
I flashed through cmw, I rebooted and all is well

I tried a bunch of Titanium Backups and I got 4.0.2 to work.
4.7.x, 4.6.x, 4.5.x don't seem to work. 4.0.2 works perfectly.

Why do so many people hate Rom manager? I love it and am just used to it since my cappy. I knkw it doesnt do everything with our SGS2 as it does for my cappy like reboot to recovery for nandroid backups correctly (except for using it for that purpose for cm7 works perfectly). But i like to use it for renaming nandroids and such. Easy to use and has never failed me. Wish it could be updated to fully work correctly at some point. Would be nice to get all our roms available on it/through it. Well to each his/her own i guess. I still use it to download gapps and such as well for cm7.

Lol.. seems like a lot of ppl really hate ROM Manager.
I either use ES File Explorer, or just connect to the pc and do my cleanup as necessary. I also rename the folders, so it's easier to identify which is what. Just remember if you do decide to rename your folders, no spaces , else you'll get md5 issues and wouldn't be able to restore from the backup you made.
A more interesting question is why a thread like this even needs to exist. I wondered the same thing the op did. Then I used root explorer to search and found the folder on my own. Search being the key word.

+1 on using pc moved a bunch of unnamed rom and ics'ed out version1 through 8 backups to a folder on my laptop. Never done anything with them but they're there .

Google Now on Stock Rom.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?

Mysterious File on SD

A mysterious file is always generated on my SD card no matter how many times I format it or delete the file. The file has an extension of "MOLOGIQ" and is usually named ".06ba141d-a652-464b-b7c2-0932d1a1402b.mologiq". I have a fear that it is a spyware application that's hidden in my phone. I really can't seem to get rid of it. Any help understanding this or getting rid of it is much appreciated. My phone is rooted, S-OFF, 4EXT. This occurs on any ROM/kernel and even with full wipes and formatting I can't seem to get rid of it.
Just from googleing it comes up as stealth mode start up advertising, which sounds like a load of crap, don't know how or where you got it but it don't sound good
thisis50.com if its hot its here
If a full wipe doesn't fix it, all I could suggest is formatting SD again, through your PC, then run the ruu

I'm a flashaholic if that's how you spell it. v.v
It shows up on any ROM I use. Even on the ROMs that have full wipe aroma, I've even used ROMCleaner, and all the wipes in 4EXT, including SD. Thanks for the suggestion guys. If anyone else has anymore I can try, you're more than welcome.
Can I use a logcat to detect this app? Maybe format or delete the file and turn on the logcat and then wait until a it returns and find the item in the log?
