For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics 2.0 Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.
And new DX220 ROM strikes again when I was going to update PerfectDynamics 2.0 on DX100 device. It’s a good thing for iBasso DX220 users that they keep updating frequently. I’ll update this one for DX220 first and work on DX100 next.
-Based on iBasso DX220 firmware version V1.12.149
–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)
