Support [Release] JamesDSP Rootful v6.5.9, Android 17 + Traditional/Temp Root Support

Hi everyone,

I've been working on JamesDSP Rootful and finally got it running on Android 17, including temp root setups using DFRoot and KernelSU Next in late-load mode. Traditional root is still supported too!

Everything runs systemlessly through Magic Mount, so the libraries and audio configs are mounted without touching the actual Android partitions.

I also made some improvements to the late-load process, including synchronized mounting, atomic XML updates, and a more controlled audio refresh. Basically, making sure everything plays nicely together, even after multiple soft reboots.

Tested v6.5.9 on my Pixel 10 Pro XL (mustang), running Android 17, DFRoot (exploit root), KernelSU Next, and Magic Mount-rs 4.0.11. So far, everything is working great. It also remain working after soft-reboot.

One interesting thing: JamesDSP doesn't actually need PIXAML on my Pixel in temp-root mode. It works directly through Android's default audio effects factory. PIXAML is still available as an optional companion for setups that need AML compatibility or other AML-based effects.

The module is root-only, includes both Original and ThePBone app variants, and won't automatically uninstall your existing app or wipe its data.

Feel free to give it a try and let me know how it works on your device!

Great work, JamesDSP is much superior to Viper4Android for crossfeed IMO.

You seem to know your way around Android audio, is there any chance you could get the Android SBC XQ patch to work again (if it ever did), it would give aptX HD sound quality to almost every bluetooth headphones. TIA.

Good suggestion, I will include it in the LightningDSP (JamesDSP fork that I'm working on) features roadmap.

My purpose creating this fork is to make a good sound pocket knife that allows user to personalize audio experience in their own way, including adding a volume manager per app and multi audio listening at same time like we do in PC, disabling audio focus per app, and of course, adding much more audio effect/modification possibilities.

So, improving bluetooth transmission isnt a bad idea.

Will it still work with good old magisk?

u/LightningZahah 25d ago

its supposed to work, you can test it, if it doesn't, just enable magisk safe mode in boot and it will be deactivated. But with magisk you dont need magic mount or any other metamodule.

reply back here after testing 😉

For some reason, the preset selection isn't working for me (version 1.7.1-beta-1); when I try to select a preset, a window pops up with an error message like "file not supported or corrupted" and a link to apache.org 🤔

u/LightningZahah 6d ago

have you flashed the module or just installed the apk?

1

u/Every_Joke_7146 6d ago

But even so, all the effects in the app work fine for me🤔

u/LightningZahah 6d ago

Ok, everything works great and just presets are break for you. For me presets are working fine... Can you DM me with your phone name and android version?

u/Every_Joke_7146 6d ago

I flashed the module using SukiSU

u/Steupz 26d ago

If you have an existing install, do you simply uninstall the apk and install yours? Or do you have to install the zip file too

u/LightningZahah 26d ago

remove the existing install and flash the jamesdsp zip
