Win w/audio booster > Android audio?

I really used to love the audio quality in windows. Now this was only the case when using audio booster. It just made the highs higher, and the midtones richer.
Is there anything like audio booster for android? I really miss my custom presets

i 100% agree with you winmo + audio booster + srs wow hd completely pwns android in terms of sound quality. Search the forums for "meltus audio hack", i remember using it on my g1 and it helped a lot. (there should be an app in the market too however you should check it is comatible with our builds first)

try LVH 3.6 (Loud Volume Hack 3.6) need rooted rootfs

louder volume hack only works for g1 and mytouch 3g he hasnt updated it to support new phones

*Bump* Anyone that can make a Program that looks and works as good as: Audio Booster v2.5? i'm even willing to pay for it!

In the market there's a music player called PowerAMP. It costs about 2 or 3 bucks if I'm not wrong. There you have a 10 band equalizer and so on. Try it out.

Has anyone hacked the kernel, hardware to make this phone useable.......I'm missing so many calls ?

There is no hardware or software issue with the speakers ...... maybe you have a faulty device.

In your alternate universe that may be true. That's the universe where the battery is brilliant too, I presume?

No need to bring in the word homosexuality when we are talking about external speaker on the phone androhero...thousands of people complain about the speaker and battery life its even be said in a lot of reviews all over the web about the speaker and battery life....if your speaker is perfect that's great. But my speaker isn't and I just want to see if anyone have fixed this problem so please we can do with out the smart ass comments..

for starters , i wasnt the one that started making sarcastic comments, all i said was there is no hardware or software issue with the DHD regarding the speakers, its just the way the HTC Tones are made, but if you feel you wish to join in and attempt to bully me like bobbyelliott feel free
by the way you may also want to try this, it's the htc tones with increased volume levels, just flash it from recovery...... i hope you choke on it

Ok, I don't want to see any trouble here. Please behave yourselves. Referrence to homosexuality as an insult is not appreciated.

Leedroid has posted a kernel that increases speaker volume by 20%, he is posting a new update tonight 2.0.5.

The Android Revolution Rom 2.0.12 has this included since yesterday.

do you just flash these kernels using clockwork overtop the rom your already using?
ive never done this before and would like more volume myself.

Hi can you please give me step by step on how to install the new kernel ? Thanks

Is it really nessesary to flash and what not? I just bumped up the volume of the tones I like in Audacity and copied it back on to SD. Now my volume is “normal”.

Without a kernel that gives a volume boost I find most of the times myself in a situation where I can't hear the person when on a call. With the new kernel (thanks Lee ) it's how it should be, I'm happy

u can try one of the custom roms(leedroid or revolution) which are including 20% volume up in their kernels.

Definitely you need to use some of custom roms.. Leedroid 2.2.2 or Revolution HD.. They have sound boost patch.

This Is sick. I have to root my phone and install a Custom Rom just to make my speaker sound better. Why can't htc do this

I'm sure HTC would have gone through a lengthy and detailed testing situation for this product. They obviously felt that the speaker volume was enough to be heard whilst not affecting the quality of the speaker component.
It's a phone though, not a surround sound system.

I think you misunderstand the information revolution. A modern smartphone is not a phone. It is an information/multimedia device. The phone functionality is a relatively small part of the device for most people who use it for Internet, music, video, e-mail, etc. So the poor sound volume is not unimportant.

Horses for courses. I have a custom Rom with enhanced sound but I wouldn't know any different. If I want to watch or listen to something I plug in headphones anyway, it doesn't bother me.

Lol, Viva La Révolution! Agree to the above, but if it means that more little buggers plug in headphones rather than listening to crap music out of a one-inch speaker as they walk down the road then I'm all for moderately adequate volume. Or maybe I'm just getting old before my time
Realistically speaking though, you can't expect miracles to come out of a speaker that small. Although software technology has advanced in terms of what can be achieved in audio output (hence the Dolby and SRS), the hardware hasn't come along in leaps and bounds and is limited to what can be achieved.

There is a post about a fix on hemorrdroids.net/do-you-wish-your-desire-hd-speaker-could-be-louder/
You will need root and a custom recovery though...

people who use custom rom with loud speaker
copy&upload default.acdb
from
/system/etc/firmware
i think this file for loud speaker

For me, speaker is ok.

It's really designed to be used with headphones for the multimedia audio.

I agree
Though alarms are quieter than on my moto milestone one day it didn't wake me up
Today was a success, volume was good. I need the rooster alarm file from the milestone LOL the htc ones are "quietly brilliant"

Come on ppl Have you compared it to an iPhone? Our speakers suck. No I am not an iPhone fan but there is a huge difference. Not just the speakers but also the incall volume.
I am on a custom ROM with the 20% increase thru out and it helps but it still doesn't compare to an ancient Nokia (work phone) I have next to me.
With headphones no issue at all.
Just have to live it cause the rest of the phone makes up for it.

True the iclone has a better speaker but it is attached to an inferior phone.

Lol AndroHero, I thought I was the only one who noticed

[Q] Speaker hardware modding possible?

I love my HD2, but there's no getting away from how bad the speaker on the back sounds.
It's extremely tinny and there is no bass especially when compared to my cheapo ZTE BLADE.
Has anyone tried to mod in a new speaker? say maybe one meant for a desire HD?

i hav also HD2 but speaker voice very nice ..

i'm interested too.

[Q] Music volume is so low!!! Help?

So from November 2012 when I got my phone I have tried any thing came to my mind to solve this problem but nothing worked for me!!!
I'm very sensitive about music quality and I really can't stand this anymore!!! My volume is very low even when I crank it to the max!!! I mostly use my Dr Dre Studio headphones and sometimes my Beats Tours... I've tried several other headphones and didn't get any result
When I connect my Studio headphones to my laptop and I listen to the same track that I have on my phone it's super load like if I turn up the volume to the max I really go deaf!!! So I'm pretty sure it's not from my headphones... I know that the phone's amplifier is not as powerful as my laptop but still ... I think it is not normal, I also notice some other people have the same problem as me!!!
So these are the things I have tried already:
1. Using other mp3 player apps such as PlayerPro, PowerAMP, Winamp and .... none of them made any difference and the equalizer simply just mess up the quality of the track...
2. I have used all the mods like Beats Xlouder and such and they also just lowered the quality
3. All of my tracks are MP3 320kbps/flac audio format... still I tried to increase the audio using Audacity by amplifying the dB... It helped but not really noticeable.
Currently I don't have root access but if something can really help I'd be willing to root my device... like kernel or something! Please help

You'll need an HTC phone with Beats Audio to go along with your Beats headphones.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic...
Well...
A ) There's something wrong with your ear.
or
B ) You have a defective unit. My headphones are waaaayyyy too loud even at half volume. If it's really that bad, ask for an exchange unit. If you're adventurous, root and custom rom it. Might see a change.

There is nothing wrong with my ears and I said I've seen other people having the same problem with N4 and also like I said when I use my headphones with my laptop they are super loud!

Please give me a link to the other threads about headphones being soft on the N4. I've never seen them and would love to read more about it.
I never said it's your heaphone. I said it's your phone.
Please read my whole answer.

Google Nexus 4 Volume low you can probably see people having the same problem I you think I'm lying
If you think you can help please give me a solution to my problem...

Imma be as descriptive as possible with my fix.
ROOT YOUR PHONE!
1. Install Trinity kernel. (Its the only kernel I've gotten this to work with)
2. Flash Misledz audio mod, keep up with the latest ones as in my opinion she really knows what she's doing and the quality gets better and better.
3. Once the mod is installed Titanium Backup / Rom Toolbox remove the 4 system apps installed by Misledz audio mod.
-Awesome beats, -Noozy Player, -Noozxoide, -Dolby Digital App.
4. Reboot wipe cache / dalvik in recovery, reboot.
5. Go to the market and download the latest Noozxoide, set up to your musical preference.
Now you can omit some parts such as keeping 3 of the apps, but I find awesome beats not to work at all, the libs in the mod does though. That's why I remove the apps. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music (rap / old school hip-hop). This method is a night and day difference in loudness and audio quality.
I genuinely hope this helps everyone.:good:

dude Awesome beats is the worst ... plus I'm not rooted any more
but I heard there is a kernel that increases the volume

Not awesome beats. Misleadz audio mod. Trinity kernel makes your audio louder naturally. With the audio mod trust me you'd give me an e-hug in gratitude (no homo). I had the same problem. This method I posted works.

I give it try thanks a lot

Haha told ya! :laugh:

What type of earphones or headphones do you use anyway? I'm using the V-Moda LP2's and they sound fantastic. They do need an amp to get the total feel but with Poweramp's equalizer, I have been pretty impressed.
