I Flashed The Zip! I dnt KNow If The Sound Improved! But My DSP Manager Wont Work Now !
Can Someone Try It Out Now!???
Aww. I thought this was a free pair of Beats Audio for Gingerbread users.
Darn it ... I've been waiting for this, but I'm on ICS
I would post in the original topic asking for help, but my posting privileges don't allow me yet so here it is. I tried flashing that zip using OpenRecovery on my Motorola Milestone with CM7, but I keep getting an error: Status 0 and then "Installation aborted". Can I only flash that using CWM, or is there something wrong with the files? I already renamed the zip to "update.zip" just in case.

In the original topic, someone already responded to this question: you first need to mount /system manually.
Turned off equalizer and tuning in Poweramp and listened before and after flashing this. Undoubtly a huge difference, at least I like it
Problem is its an equalizer with settings non changeable .
Does it make any difference ???
My tests 50% No 50% maybe .
But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and placebos can also work for some .
Nandroid backup install and try is all you can do as its not removable .
Further tests
Volume level is probably up by 1%.
Playback is the same as my current setup apart from a bit of distortion at the peak with louder sounds . A bit like standing next to the instrument rather than in the audience .

Also possible that your zip file is corrupt. Download again.
In the original thread they mentioned they tried it on CM7, MIUI and CM9, and claimed that it even works on ICS.
Maybe somebody can test? My Device is backupping right now

Of course it wont work...
It's like ripping the toilet out of your bathroom and replacing it with a bucket......
It does the same job but its much less efficient and lacking basic features......
Weird, how would this make a difference? i have some knowledge with supercurio's work, hardware limitations overall prevent amazing sound. Having beats codec wouldn't make a big diff even if you have a beats headphone.

Holly f*ck, it works like hell with Voodoo LOUDER, Mixzing and the Eq on it and a AKG k518DJ
You don't have any icon, if you want, just check with RootExplorer "System/bin", you'll see some file like this "basimage_ibeats_isolo.bin"
So yes you can flash the zip with any GB (mine is Hyperdroid with Siyah)
---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
If you have a good Eq AND you know how to set it, you'll not have more bass!
It feel like a filter, the bass is deeper, clearer, the med also and the trebble too
-> It really makes the sound clearer
It's makes a huuuge difference with a 320 Kbps mp3 or FLAC and a real headphone and with high quality earphone, and it's even better with voodoo LOUDER wich hacking the hardware of my phone
Who said for GB only?
I flashed it before my work was over, so I was able to directly hook it up to my car stereo. I am running AOKP (ICS 4.0.3 AOSP), so I didnt expect it to work.
So, I fired up PowerAMP and played right away. It wasnt much of a difference, since the PowerAMP EQ and Tone-Filter were still active. I know how it sounds without those 2 options, since I drive alot within the week and my Phone is hooked up to my car stereo like every time.
I listen to heavy tunes, bass-focused, mainly Dubstep and DnB.
So I switched those 2 options OFF within PowerAMP and WHOMP!
I mean, really! There is a pretty significant improvement in sound quality.
It sounds better than with activated EQ and Tone-Filter from PowerAMP.
Very crisp bass, but with more force and power.
Mid-Tones are clearer when heavy bass lines kick in.
I was like "WTF"...
Then I fired up Simfy (german edition of Spotify) and even there I got a significant improvement in sound.
I am pretty surprised, since I didnt think it would work on ICS since its been promoted for Gingerbread "Only". But I can say, there is a difference, and if not, I must be high on crack or something ....
PS: I even have the imagination it increases the default Volume Levels. I usually have a pretty fixed setup while driving and listening music (Volume Levels) and I really had the feeling that it was louder in general...
As I have said earlier, I guess supercurio confirms it on his twitter.

Reminds me of the SE Bravia nonsense that was floating around. This is why companies like Bose and Monster Cable make money hand-over-fist.
You're likely listening to 192 kbps (or less) MP3 files on a set of sub $20 headphones, no amount of compression/EQ can help that.
Improved the audio quality quite a bit. Specially on WIDE effect in settings. Crisp & more clear

Yup.. Exactly what i thought and supercurio confirmed NOT working.
Guys I just tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523760
From what my ears tells me, there seems to be remarkable difference in sound indeed!
Credits to fuss132!!!
Don't know if this belongs in Development Section or already posted... apologies in advance...
Oh yeah, just flash this via CWM then its set...
And guys I am using a Beats Solo as my daily distraction (actually I use it as my work headset as well... makes me look cool than I really am lol) and I DEFINITELY noticed a change (sorry Nobnut)...
It gave a better bass response... not that it made the bass sound heavier but actually more crisp as opposed to being muddy... Before I hate the Beats Solo sound in "normal" settings but now its much better... My music files are all FLACs ranging from Pearl Jam to Rage Against the Machine....
giving it a try thanks
How is this enabled? Or once installed its already activated?
you're right it doesnt belong in the dev section
its probably the placebo effect

100% NOT placebo !
Everybody who listened to Beats Audio will tell you - Its more than just placebo, it really sounds WAY better.
Of Course just if you dont have 9$ Headphones.
In Ear Headphones sound great with Beats Audio
Test it with the MIUI 4.0 build
It does sound better !
Will be implemented in [V4a] next release !
Thanks for sharing @spandsbab
how is it activated on GB after flashing
...by playing some music.
beside the default music player,anyone try other player?
wow! i will give a try!
Maybe it really work,but the stock player couldn't support FLAC any more...
now who need beats headphone? lol... if feels like im having beats headphone rightnow.

Im not an audiophile ,
but..
I set my players to FLAT EQ - Guess is the only way to know !
I tested the before and after , I did hear an improvement mostly in bass
hey dev guys, this is for u.
while roaming around the xda, i found this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24205983.
so it says even if we have a fully working beats files, the audio o/p we are getting from it, while beats is on the run, is just half.
and for the total o/p, we should have to use the driver too.
so my doubt is this, do any of our kernal( sense,cm7/9,miui or ics) have implemented such a driver from a beats device? or can some work on it?(audio driver only)
i used beats and have jbl in-ears. so it gives good highs but not such good low( when compared with my se c905 cybershot phone with a changed audio driver and a patched megabass eq settings). but i heared that beats audio is one of such a f###ing thing in terms of bass!! so i like to get it in hd2 too.. thats why i posted this.
for those who post reply, pls dnt tell ways to boost bass with any apk like dsp/ eq manager or so. this is about audio driver from beats kernel, and is only about it. so give reply so.
i am attaching the zip file for checking( flashable/ copyable beats files that can give u half the beats experience) http://i.minus.com/1333149794/cmDv4RaG5F9p8yHVz6MQQg/irBiV9DKDRmiD.zip

I would like to hear some answers on this subject also.
Though this does remind me of this news post. Were these files removed because it enabled beats on non-HTC devices?
its still available some where in the forum. but the thread may be removed due to multiposts or wrong zip. i got the file from xda. dnt remb the thread.
well i have read more about beats and it says that the files+ driver will give ultimate results and not the driver or files along.
waiting for some dev to reply...

From my research on beats audio (done approx. 6 months ago for my HP laptop) beats audio is simply a rendering agent. It is what takes the sound files and in terms decodes it. For example, if we took a phone which came with beats audio on it, and played some sound file through it, took some measurments of decibel levels and then removed beats audio the quality will be reduced.
From my readings and research, there is no Beats Audio "specific" hardware. But, the phones and devices which have beats audio, do have better speakers on them so one can hear the better quality.
I personally tested beats audio on my phone running Dorimanx ROM with my Samsung headphones, and using the same headphones music file and everything, but taking beats audio off, DID result in poor sound quality.. For a good example, the sound quality was almost "muffled" and not as "3D" or "stereo" sharp.
So all in all, what ive learned, having the correct files for rendering the audio, WILL increase the sound quality. And is a 100% beats emulation. As per a "certain" driver, i dont think there is such a thing, all beats audio needs is the rendering files.

Well i use Volume + (Sound Boost) found here in the android market and there is a selection of "Beats audio emulation" however i installed a beats audio . zip file via cwm and tested, then flashed stock rom and tested. When i tested, i did not have Volume+ installed as i wanted a stock result.

i got it all, and i know it. but the thing is is our non beats device is fully capable for giving pure beats experience? i dnt think so, coz when u have a driver that donot support it fully, it wont gonna change that much. so its the driver that do a part.

Hi guys I ve tested volume+ with beats emulation enabled (don t know if it s the same as flashing the zip file).I can confirm the audio with my beats studio headphones it s different,not too much but it s different...I can notice a little bass boost and other little changes,I like the audio more than without beats enabled.I would like to try the zip file,but do I have to enable something then or it s automatically enabled?cause if it s automatically enabled,it would be a little difficult to compare the audio with or without beats
i personally think that it makes difference, and feels different too. i downloaded this from the beats thread, i guess these might help.

So you need only to flash and is everytime enabled? or you can enable or disable the mod?
This is the beats audio android general forum link:

I ll let you know if I can enjoy some difference in sound.Today I ve modded the black monster cable with mic and answer button that came with beats studio headphones.Now I have the official htc remote instead opf only the answer button...i will post pictures
I can confirm there was at least a little improvement in audio quality flashing the zip file...I had almost the same result with volume+ emulation but it gave me some systems crash.I m in dorimanx last rom and kernel,I removed dsp manager and volume+ before to flash.This is the picture of my beats studios with modded monster s cable,I m waiting for the new white soft silicone cover

K. I am sure that all or most of u have take a look on beats. And i have done it already. Also have a google music with beats icon ( actualy its a change in icon only- the speaker icon is changed with beats icon so if we play music, beats icon is displayed insted of speaker icon, got it from wildfire forum on xda, thanks and credits to the dev). Along with it and beats files, its total(???) Beats experience. But the htc music player is supposed to give more effect along with beats audio driver( "libaudio.so"- its what i am taking about, from the begining). Htc default music player with beats support wont work on asop roms. Its for sense roms. But even sense roms for hd2 use kernals from dorimanx,fikert, tytung etc.. and dont know from where the "libaudio.so" is obtained( i mean i dont know if its a port from a beats driver. And i barely think its not coz, hd2 android existed long before beats was born for android!!). Also if we change the driver, the kernal and rom( and ofcourse the hardware too) should support it. So i think its a serious "dev-business ". And for those who are satisfied with current o/p its a "flash and use business " only( sorry if i mean some thing wrong. But i never mean an offence).

Some of them may be stupid, some may be worth for ideas. But still they are doubts. As my policy is this- asking "why" helps me to learn, and asking "can" help others to think via me. Thats it.

Quality never means loudness. If so you should buy cheep china phones with 8 speakers. And about 5-6w rms o/p..

You re right,but I noticed at least a 10% higher volume in headphones and loudspeacker.Also audio quality seems a little better if listened with a good headphones set,with my beats studio now bass are more intense,and the whole song it s a little better.
But i dnt know if beats can do some thing with phone speakers. But sure it will do with headset. U can experience reduced noise, loudness compression, better high and low, and good virtualization. (Only if u use good headset)
If u want an increased sound on phone speakers use xloud mod from sony roms.
But my point is if u feel better now, it will be best if u have beats driver too. I am currenlty studying driver source now. To find out what it is. And may be( chances are very rare as i am not a dev) i could figure it out. And if i can, i need some devs to compile it, and make a working one.

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 read my whole question

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.
