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

[u/LightningZahah]

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!

thank you for sharing! does it only work with magic Mount?

[u/LightningZahah → u/MikeWBiff]

Only tested with magic mount but its supposed to work with overlayfs or mountify

[u/Glglgl777 → u/LightningZahah]

Will it still work with good old magisk?

[u/LightningZahah → u/Glglgl777]

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 😉

Just updated to lineage 24 (Android 17) and it works! (Magisk)

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 → u/Steupz]

remove the existing install and flash the jamesdsp zip

Wondering what does it mean if the JamesDSP module shows as unmounted in Magic Mount?

[u/tonysunshin3 → u/tonysunshin3]

I guess I should mention Im using DFRoot 1.11 and KernelSu 32664-5 in LKM mode
