For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics 2.0 Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.
Since DX160 hit the market, I received a few inquiries about making Purist ROM for iBasso DX160 and today I’ve finished the first Purist ROM for iBasso DX160. I’ll release DX220 ported version with Mango OS later.
-Based on firmware version Oreo 8.1 V1.01.084
–Yalp Store is added as Play Store’s alternative (I still keep Google services for those who want to install Play Store through other means)
-Apollo – Fidelity Edition from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apollo-music-player-fidelity-edition-t3038629 included
-MangoPlayer app has optimizations applied
-build.prop tweaks for better video and storage performance and improve battery life
-Audio engine optimized for only audio playback (EQ/Gaplass features work)
