Who would like to see this running stock? Or who would like this to be as senseless as possible and still run beats audio with Miui launcher?
Beats audio doesn't even work with any evo4g rom .......

What? 2 posts and neither make sense what exactly are you asking? Beats requires hardware to fully function you only get partial functionality with the Beats app and a beats enabled kernel, for true beats you need a beats enabled audio processor along with the software and it's overrated unless you listen to alot of rap/hip-hop r&b or pop, rock doesn't sound that great on it I have a laptop with a beats audio processor, beats speakers and beats headphones, sounds great when I listen to rap/r&b but southern rock and metal sound like total crap and way over bassed
We are legion, for we are many.
What I am getting at is gutting as much as you can of sense and leaving whats required for beats to work and you are mistaken because beats works on warm 2.3 you can enable and disable and difference is night and day? I apologize for any confusion. Also by stock I mean the way it was released to us. That should have been obvious.

That's more or less what I did but I feel like someone who is more familiar with dissection a rom would be able to remove all the unnecessary apks. That and miui rom and launcher differ quit alot I would want as much miui integrated. basically a hybrid sense aosp of some sorts

Omg beats requires hardware as well as software for full functionality you can get the same effect as beats on an evo4g with proper eq settings trust me beats on the evo4g doesn't sound anything like the real deal real beats with hardware sounds like a studio with huge subwoofers trust me my laptop was close to 2grand and my headphones were 185 I know what real beats sounds like personally I wish I had bought the Bose audio driver laptop and the Bose noise cancelling headphones instead cuz I don't even use the beats that much I ususally use winamp pro with custom eq settings to listen to a mix of music I only turn on beats when I'm listening to all rap/r&b
We are legion, for we are many.
http://www.dshack.net/2011/10/what-the-heck-is-beats-audio.html
That page has images of what the beats "audio processor" does. Basically it's an eq, with good marketing. It's all going to depend on the quality of the headphones you are using also. You can create similar results using any eq. But as Evil said, true beats requires hardware and kernel support our evos do not have. Would you like some tips on recreating the beats sound with any eq?
Edit: Google the equal loudness curve. It's an eq setting most people find quite pleasing.
And remember people your audio is only going to be as good as your cheapest or crappiest piece in the system. I.e. $5000 speakers through a $500 amp or cheap ass cables won't sound like$5000 speakers.

So, weirdest thing. While listening to music on the stock sense player yesterday i moved my headphone cord on my Dr. Dre beats in a vertical direction to avoid tangling and my HD2 immediately begins to redial the last call on my history. I repeated this about, 3 to 4 times successfully, although it would be important to mention that it doesnt act this way every single time i jerk my cord, but a good 1 of 4 times. Any thoughts??
P.S. i am usind the Dre Studios, the larger model, and no i was not using the extra cord that has a built-in volume control and mic
yeah i notice something like that when i plug in my hd2 to my car i dont remember if i was playing with the volume or the cord but the voice command keep running over and over.
Bad music is bad music regardless of the device you play it on. The HD2 is smart enough to actually try and call for help. Load some System of a Down on your device, rm -rf all rap/hip-hop, and you should see your problem remedied instantly.

Well I stand corrected (about the headphones only ). Headphones sound only as good as the source audio, and most of my mp3s are crappy 96kbps from the napster era. Is the HD2 capable of pushing out good quality audio (over 48kHz 24bit?).
The dialing might be a remnant of the way HTC used to wire their extUSB/Audio-Out, and since they allow for music controls, maybe it's making contact signaling to dial. I'll receive my HD2 on Monday, so I don't know yet, do 3.5 mm plus feel like they go in correctly all the way in? are the Beats' plugs anything fancy that might not connect right?
Yeah, Beats By: Dr. Dre are pretty ****ing incredible.
I'm a bit of an audiophile... and I've owned quite a few excellent headsets from, Sennheiser, Astro, and Tritton.
But in terms of MP3 player specific headphones... these are the best!
NOW, having said that... if you haven't tried using the application, WOW SRS HD for Windows Mobile, then you haven't fully experienced what your Beats By Dre are capable of outputting.

it would be nice to have a deck with speakers like the iphone has from bose or other. I swear i think im just gonna get an iphone just because they have alot of apps and nice titanium and carbon fiber cases. but i want the beats the small ones not the dj ones
my Vmoda's do the same thing. the default HTC headphones do not, but the soudn quality is horrible.

I use the Audio Booster that came standard on my HD2. It helps out a lot. No joke. A lot of pre-sets or you can customize it yourself I am sure. You should give that a shot. I try to avoid installing cabs when something similar is already stock on the phone. I guess I got that habit from my wing due to the lack of memory. But i dont think you have to worry about that with this bad boy HD2!
The audio booster has nothing on WOW SRS, at least imo.

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

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...

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.

I was pretty skeptical of what voodoo sound could do at first, but now that I have it, I am definitely convinced of the advantages provided by this little mod.
Individual instruments ring through, the mids and lows are given a lot of depth, and the highs have excellent fidelity with out being overbearing. This is by far one of the best additions to my phone.
Sooo...I was thinking we could all link what we feel best exemplifies the improvement in sound quality given to us by voodoo. That piece you can't help but play over and over again because it sounds so good now. I'll start us off

(It's ska, which I think is one of the best audio tests, given the large range of sounds in any given song; and it happens to be my passion lol )
Let's keep it to one per user. And I would say don't directly attach anything, because I'm not sure if I'll get in trouble lol.
Maybe when it's all said and done we'll have a cool little xda-epic4g soundtrack. Think of it as a sociology experiment

Voodoo is an addon by http://twitter.com/supercurio , I'm under the impression its a set of kernel enhancements along with config/control apps you can install from market (or include in ROM). "Voodoo" is kind of his brand name. He's spent quite a bit of time improving sound qualities, but he's also messed with screen color accuracy and camera picture quality.
As for how to get it - I saw its in the most recent ACS ROM/twilight kernel. Haven't tried it, though I'm excited too.
Latest Viper ROM has voodoo baked in. FYI

headphones are nothing but external speakers, so yes any audio out will benefit...
there's a voodoo control app that comes with syndicate (which is what im running right now)...there are a few options in there that can be turned off (as well as a bunch of options you can enable to provide better recording quality)...but from my understanding, there are improvements that voodoo gives you that may not have an actual "option" to enable/disable. im not so sure though, as the details given in the voodoo thread are a little inconsistent with what we can see in the voodoo control app (such as the parametric equalizer)...
my guess is that the port of voodoo (which is for the international galaxy s) to the epic is still somewhat of a WIP...
all that being said, the best way to hear improvements would be to have an epic with out voodoo and one with voodoo, and hear them side by side...or another version of the galaxy s since they all probably have the same stock audio filters...
since i dont have two phones, i played the same song before and after I flashed syndicate. call it selective perception if you want, but i definitely hear an improvement.
Yeah, I'm running acs 1.0.3, I just haven't updated my signature. I just don't see any other playback options other than being able to adjust the headset volume option.

I personally didn't think beats was all that great but alot of users like it so i made this flashable version for my rom. Figure everyone else would enjoy it as well. It does replace some files though such as services.jar and framework.jar. I have only tested it with my rom but it should work with any rom but i suggest making a nandroid backup just in case.
This is the full beats with icons and eveything
Now with HotSpot working (Thanks Leoisright)
Sense Roms ONLY
Anyways just flash it in recovery and enjoy
Now has universal updater-script so it can be flashed on any device But probably will not work so try at your own risk !!
A few have reported that it flashes on other devices and it boots so it may just work on some.
This is developed for the Evo 3D it is on the portal and because of my title it says for ANY Sense rom but it was made for the 3d. but if you want to try it on other devices i strongly recommend a nandroid backup before testing. I'll be looking into the possibility of multiple devices soon. Sorry for the confusion..
If you are getting FC with Music try the FC-FIX and see if it works and post if it did or not. I am trying to figure out what the problem is

I'm currently running gingeritis 3D and Chingy ported this over in his ROM, now I hear a slight difference but i assume by HTC it was made to best be heard using beats earphones/headphones. Have you tried this and confirmed it working?
Yeah. most are saying its best used with Beats headphones. But those already have amplified bass. So I dunno if they are just thinking it works better or not.
I cant flash it on my phone (well not yet at least) the stock music player wont load on my. I broke it somehow. . I do however own a set of very nice headphones that are better audio quality than 'Beats' but cant test the new audio stuff yet... Would be nice to get a little deeper bass with stock music app (once I reflash a clean ROM)
What difference did you notice?

a very slight difference on stock ported gingeritis, but when time permits I'll make a backup and flash this and test it out. Hope someone has tried or is trying this and keep us informed, I also read from adrynalyne that 95% of the beats ports where fake so...I'm not sure if this on a software level or if this includes hardware.
Most people commenting in the original thread are saying they hear a difference. But it might be all in their head.
As far as trying this out, he stated this was is based off desire HD roms because of the sense 3.0. And Im pretty sure our roms are also based off the Desire HD rom for the sense 3.0. So theoretically it should work... but we all know how well those go... Hense all the warnings i put in the OP.
All it is is some compression and.altered eq...maybe a bit of gain....on a pair of studio monitors it.makes everything sound ****ty but for a pair of cheapo headphones it might have some benefit, I also noticed it accentuated audio clicks, glitches, things that overshadow the whole objective of the app/dsp in the first place.

Go to the software part, it tells you pretty much what "beats audio" does to the output. That being said, I have a pair of beats pro's and *maybe* noticed a tiny difference at the most. Most likely all this does is take the stock EQ and bump it up in certain places, if it actually does anything at all.
No go on synergy r267. Shows install went ok. Cleared davlik and cache.

that made me LOL. Beats optimized output device...? So... over priced headphones?
I tried the beat mod on chingys Gingeritis. It does slightly increase the mid bass. That was the most noticeable change, well besides the fact it also greatly increases the hi's so the sound doesn't become muddy. And as stated before you will definitely hear crackling on max volume.
I have played audio out both to my car stereo via head phone jack and to my headphones (definitely not cheapys, and better than any "optimized beats equipment") Its all the same noticeable difference. I haven't tried on my cheap ear buds yet, but will give them a good run tomorrow when I take my street bike out for a Sunday put put.
Using this mod does disable the stock EQ that is built into htc music app. or at least it did on my phone.
I will officially classify this mod as 80% hype and 20% function.
If you have anything professional you wont need to eq anything that was recorded and mastered properly. I promise.

I wrote this on rootz, figured I would share it here too.
People seem to forget what beats are about. They don't make the music sound "better" they make it sound "clearer". You want "better" sounding music then yes, the others do a good job of that. But if you want to hear the music, how it sounds to artists in a studio, without extra filters, eq's, etc. put on by Bose, Sony, and the other manufacturers, then Beats are the way to go. I'm going to guess none of you have ever been inside a real studio (not your friend's basment with a mic and a padded wall, that isn't a studio) so you saying that beats don't do this, and are all marketing bs, don't really know what you are talking about.
I have had the Solos, sold them and got the Studio's, and sold them and now have the Pro's and I can say I have never heard music clearer before than I have with these. Want to know why the base sounds "deeper" or the treble is "louder" with other headphones? Because that's how they are made. Beats are made to sound exactly how the artist made the song in the studio and wanted people to hear it.
/endrant
I am an audio production major, my school has a multi million dollar studio and no one uses beats. AKG, SENNHEISER, AUDIO TECHNICA are the three major brands for lower end accurate audio reproduction. Truly "clear" headphones are electrostatic such as the ~$1000 stax in Japan, they require their own amp. I think its hillarious that you think beats (which have over accentuated lows and highs...to give compressed music come off of a ****ty audio driver (like the tbolt) a bigger richer sound? More accurate? Absolutely not recessed mids are guarunteed when you "eq" a set of headphones like beats chose to do. The most hillarious part is were in a discussion thread talking about a plugin that does that same eq/compression/gain bull**** and above poster is repping beats to be about accurate sound reproduction. You obviously know a lot less about audio than you pretend to....

Case and point, beats useless, if you really know how you want your music to sound use playerpro with dsp pack, if your getting cracking, then lower your preamp and get a better output. My brother works the sound board for the starland ballroom in nj, very big venue, and I'm assistant production manager. We have had everyone from Justin bieber to as I lay dying. Beats that you guys are using isn't even the true beats that comes with whatever phones its coming with these days. Do some research and you'll find that out
You should have killed me, when you had the chance
And what I mean by beats optimized is its set up to work best with the way beats headphones are set up...is that alittle easier to understand?
You should have killed me, when you had the chance
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.
