ROM suggestions - G2 and Desire Z General

Well guys, I am running on unity now and I've got the beats addon. I like beats audio enhancement very much. But however the sense 3.0+roms are just too heavy for me to use, as it is laggy and I can't multi task(I don't want to use the sd partition as it damages the sd card)
I am a music guy so I need a good music output for my dz
Can someone recommend some roms that have a good audio output ,lite and fast? It can be any kind of rom except unity, dhd port sense 3.0 ,beatmod and runnymede,as I have already tried them. If by any chance somebody have a beats audio mod for sense 2.1, pls tell me, I'll be very grateful to you, thx.(it'll be best if the recommended roms run with sense)

Download Neutron MP3 player app.
It is perfect for an audiophile.
Beats, to be honest, is a pile of marketing crap.
Doesn't sound nearly as good as the Neutron MP3 player.

Which ROM are you using?

Use cyanogenmod 7, and use DSP manager, built in. Its brilliant. More bass than beats mode

oddly enough I could never get cyanogenmod properly working, it would be stuck for hours on the cyanogen loading screen and wouldn't actually run.

Have you tried mexdroid? It's got the cyanogen dsp built in and sounds pretty good, but I have never used Beats so I can't compare it. I tried that recommended music app above and hated it.

+1 for mexdroid ghost chilli, if you really don't want MIUI or sense with sd ext.

Thx xT4Z1N4TRx,Well tried and the sound really is pleasing thx, but I just can't stand the stock android UI (poisoned by HTC Sense)

Well absolutely agreed with you, the player really did SUCKED and the player pro is much better with a user friendly UI, and with themes XXD.BTW, If you hadn't tried beats, try it pls and I'd like to have some comment on the beats mod vs cm7 with dsp. ^,^

+1 on Neutron music player
It helps out your audio sound quality much more than the Beats silliness
and don't forget to use wav or other lossless music formats (such as flac) if you are serious about good sound, mp3's sound like crap if you are used to full CD quality such as a wav file.
Neutron is not free though ($5), Player Pro would be my 2nd choice, and it's also $5
keep in mind though, the difference in music players makes a small improvement, the difference between lossy formats (i.e. MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC) and lossless formats (WAV, AIFF, AU, FLAC, APE, WV, M4A, TTA) is HUGE!

Well I don't mean to insult any neutron player users, but I personally really don't like that player, the scrolling is buggy and the UI is very ,you know, somehow not good, that's why I gave up the player at once

to use CM7 you need to do a full wipe. (do a nandroid first!)
the nightlies are good stuff.
to the OP: try cyanogenmod7 nightlies, they have DSM manager.

So is the sound quality in miui roms really not that good? I heard that they suck LOL
I really want to go to miui for sometime but am I am not sure about the sound quality and I don't have the time to check out every rom by myself. I hope someone can give some advices.

MIUI is pretty crap on sound output, although, the performance is pretty zippy but faced more FCs compared to CM7.1. Went for Bulletproof MIUI, but the general issues are inherited from the MIUI base.
Recently, I have moved to ILWT CM7.1 and used multiple versions from ILWT. This seems to be the best for me yet and plan to stick to it. Couple of things that made me move include much much better sound, more stable, less FCs and OS environment native to android.

Try the ILWT CM7.1. Simply go to your CWM Recorvery, do a full factory wipe, dump your cache and install the rom zip. This has always worked for me for most roms - generally the miui or cm7 based roms worked flawlessly using the above method.

OK thanks for the advices guys , just a few questions to ask. Is it fine if I am using 4EXT recovery than CWM to flash? And how is the sound volume? Cuz on sense roms the sound volume is really low.
Thanks.

And can someone tell me what player are you on cm7

I have had no issues with cyanogen's 7.0.2.1 at all. Everything works for me and have had no f/c's.
IMO its a good thing always under construction

CM 7.0.2.1 is a 2.3 rom and have both 4g and 720 vid recording working flawlessly.
A great stable, fast sense rom is Eternal Prophecy
Go with Cyanogen mod 7.0.2. It's just as smooth as the Epic you are used to, unlike 2.2, which feels kind of rough and not as smooth sometimes.
It DOES support 4G, and it's very stable.
Oh, and don't buy into the 720p video hype. The quality of the video and especially audio with official 720p recording is far worse than the unofficial not-quite-720p-but-close video on CM7. On CM7 video is smooth, clear, free of stutter, and audio is crystal clear. Don't believe it? Shoot and compare.
alright ill try those 3 thanks guys i just wanted get some input

Oh, then there's absolutely no contest here. The audio in Sense is pure garbage. We're talking 8-bit, absolute crap quality that makes even voices sound terrible.
hey do u have to wipe 3 times before flashing like on the epic?

Not really... You do have to wipe 3 "things" though... User data, Dalvik Cache and cache
If your using clock work mod,i would still wipe everything 3 times to be on the safe side. With amon ra you dont have to but out of habit I wipe everything 2 times just to be safe as I came from a epic as well.

Cyanogen 7 is pretty legit..
Yeah, as others have said, Cyanogen is probably your best bet. Especially if you're coming from an Epic.
You might also want to try MIUI, it's a completely different feel from any other ROM. Not sure if 4G works or not though.
either decks aosp rom or salvage-mod.
I like Sprint-lovers.
CM7 is great, but does have issues with some secured wireless networks, which is why I run MikFroyo, which uses the stock sense Rom as a base.

voodoo sound

i am using stock kernel and i realised that stock kernels are supersmooth in comparison to overclocked kernels....
the only thing i miss is voodoo sound...
so i m curious to know if i can apply voodoo patch on stock kernel somehow...?
does anybody know how to do that..?
On a related sidenote, can voodoo sound be added to CM7? And how is CM7 sound quality? (I'm using my phone mainly as a MP3 player)
I m also looking for the same.. I use it in kryillos rom it's great..want it in stock rom..

I thought that CM has DSPmanager that controls the sound of the speaker and headphones and where you can change bass treble EQ en such things for every sound produced by the phone or am I missing something
try voodoo control plus from market it needs root access to load voodoo onto ur stock kernel...
@above:
already tried that....
bt its not working..

If you want louder sound just download volume+ (sound boost) from the market . I love that app

Volume+ is actually safer and better than Xloud, you can do whatever you want with it, in-call, handset, loudspeaker volumes,, plus it has an wonderful equalizer,,,,,,,,my fav app

xloud on any rom my A$$!

i hate when people ether lie or dont know what there talking about! for example..."people" say that sony's XLoud and be installed on ANY ROM! well from what i have learned and know about the android os as well as sony, this is Not true! the part that really gets me mad is that i have been looking for a way to fix the low volume Bug in ALL CM based roms for the xperia play. i cant stand having low volume, to me if a rom has low volume i dont want it! this is why i only use and create rom that are stock based because according to my research sony's xloud can can only work on a stock based rom with the correct information and certifications as a xperia device. installing any of those xloud zips will corrupt your rom and you have to reinstall it. figured this out the hard way MANY times! stay clear of them. i would really love to fix this issue for cm based roms but all of my attempts have failed, perhaps a much more skilled coder can fix this.
I Installed an xLoud mod (because i can) on my phone and it booted fine, but i can't tell if it worked because i have never used xloud and don't use my phone for music.

May i have a couple of detailes about your phone? which phone, what rom, what base (CM, stock or sony), what kernel what baseband what android version.
most of these details can be found in the Settings -> about phone
I used DSPmanager to boost my volume instead of xLOUD. I enabled bass boost and Acoustic equalizer and it works pretty well!

yea but i dont like dsp manager, it makes my speakers sound like there going to pop.+ the sound cracks and fades off to much
then you didn't configure it well...
Yeah, kernel and ROM needs to support cloud for it to work. But I should clarify some things for you.
xLoud only affects loudspeaker, not headphones.
CM has poor earphone gain because of DSP Manager, and not using legacy audio with prebuilt Sony drivers. You are right too, using DSP to amplify causes bad distortion. Its because FreeXperia use generic msm drivers and not Sony ones. Poor earphone volume always bothered me.
XLoud in Turbo UI sometimes drops out.
All these issues will eventually be fixed in my 4.1.2 source builds, because I am porting legacy audio in with the goal to make sound 100% identical to stock.

Which is silly really, I know for a fact that the kernel has to expose an xLoud audio device for it to do anything (so it doesn't work on non-Sony devices).
