Warms 2.3

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 .......

Also if it was stock it wouldn't be a "Warm" 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.

it has worked on mine I can enable and disable get sound from both and as mentioned sound is night and day. It might not work to my knowledge but something is working with it because there is a huge difference in clarity.

It might sound somewhat "better" but it doesnt work fully like if you had a 3vo you could tell the difference from our "beats" compared to ours

I love the feel of Miui and would like a gutted warm 2.3 cooked up with the min req for the beats to function as it is currently thats what i am getting at. Anyone wanna cook this up?

Just install the miui launcher on xda delete Rosie.apk and lock screen and remove Widgets and that's it

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

Can probably expect someone to do it later since its only had one release so when it gets a couple more updates someone will jump in most likely

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

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.

Can I flash this without a data wipe?

If you are on AOSP or you do not have trebuchet installed, I would say you could go without a wipe. If you are on CM9. Then (you can try) without a data wipe, but I would do one if it doesn't work.

Should it works on AOKP Milestone 5 ROM?

Thanks for your quick reply

anyone can confirm that beats audio does something to better the sound?
i installed beats on my nexus but it didn't make much difference.
i am pretty audiophile and have pretty good headphones (sennheiser) so it can't be that playing a role in not getting much of a quality boost...

It's the beats audio driver. If somebody wants to confirm... Notice the audio is much louder and has better quality, which may be cancelled out by your headphpones

The audio seemed a little better. The high and the lows seemed amplified for a more dynamic range. Could just be placebo

I installed this add on but I don't see any differense.. I'm using AOSP from on gt7300. I cant find wallpapers or anything else new stuff

the wallpapers didn't show up for me either, but the sound does sounds better, deeper and louder

Nev v2 Beta release!

Flashing right away (AOKP B35)!

Confirmed a data-wipe is actually not necessary. I did a Cache and Dalvik Cache wipe, flashed on top of v1 and it worked wonderfully. Sounds a bit clearer now.

That's great. I thuought one would be necessary. I'll update it. Are you getting all the wallpapers etc? Some people didn't so I made a new Updater-script.

Yes, I see the Aurora, the other live wallpaper (Blue Sea I think) and new normal wallpapers that show a tree and a bridge. The ASUS Weather widget shows along with the TouchWiz DeskClock in the Widgets section and both work. This is with AOKP Build#35.

You made my day! All I need it the CRT Animation now.

VooDoo sound and Display Expert coming to the S3

Supercurio Tweeted this an last night.. good news for S3 owners. Will also be coming to the S2.
'.. release #GalaxySIII specific pre-versions of #VoodooSound and #DisplayExpert because.. it's must have already for me '

Yeah saw that too. Great news indeed
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad

What is displayexpert? I tried to google it.

I guess it will allow adjustments to the settings of the screen. Saturation, temperature, and sharpening.

Oh man, can't wait to see what supercurio is bringing to the SGS3... He did wonders for the SGS.

will it be for rooted devices only ? dont want to root my GS3 yet ive only have it 2 days
will rooting void the warranty with samsung ?

Only with root

I hope this also comes for the US GS3 !

Can't wait

It'll probably fix some banding issues with the ICS default background.

I still have my original i9000 mostly because of the amazing sound quality I get with Voodoo sound and the Samsung earphones. The Siyah 1.2.1 mods on Omega 5.1 on my i9300 kernel runs it very close. Really eager to see what SuperC can do with the new device!

Personally really looking forward to see Voodoo Sound implemented on the SGS3 to take full advantage of the Wolfson
Always nice to have a high end phone that has excellent sound quality too!

Can't wait for this

Voodoo sound booster is obsolete, there's a mod avalible already which boosts the sound the same way voodoo did..
Its awesome ! If I wasn't writing this on my phone I'd find you guys a link..
Boost audio system wide, alarm gave me a bloody fright this morning..
EDIT: Decided ill be nice and find the link hehe..
OP Topic: HERE
CWM Flashable packes: HERE
I suggest using the "60_sound_mod - max vol = 60 (boot sound on, camera sound off)" CWM package, it boosts your phone dramatically although not to max.. The safer option if you ask me..
Anyway thats my good deed done for today.. better get back to work !

Thanks for the link, I will check it out.
However Voodoo Sound is not just about boosting volume. I had it on my SGS1, and it greatly improved the overall sound quality as well. I cant really explain it as I am by no means an audiophile, however all I know is that Voodoo Sound left me with a smile on my face whilst listening to music.

Hi you mean the mod is working on panadroid?

I used voodo on SGSII and that just boosted volume, in saying that it actually boosted it with no sound quality loss.. Not like volume+.
That mod does exactly what vodoo did on the SGSII im very impressed by this mod, the fact that it boosts over all sound on the phone is great.

in PowerAMP, equalizer settings and attempt to download everything shown in the picture? down everything, you may find it then I can think of nothing but sorry.

Lol why you need to have it on max volume?!? If 60-70% is good then have it on 60-70%.

Here again u want to open the argue will i asked for it
firstly what the heck is a wolfson DAC it is something u invented
secondly visit this link http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9505_galaxy_s4-5371.php
dnt say gsmarena isnt authentic and lastly
we have the same DAC manufacturer as htc one that is Yamaha and we all agree htc is best audio plus am saying stock vs stock but if u want mods the pure x mod makes the sound on i9505 rlly magnificent plz dont trash talk am not doing claims am having facts unlike u
u bought a cheaper phone just be satisfied by it dont claim it is better

Have you tried BMSound?
As for the I9505 sound quality, it's not really that bad. It's no Wolfson, granted, but it's also not crap (as the Yamaha DAC on the S2).
My biggest issue are the earphones, or the lack of proper ones, to be true.

I've tried a few as well and so far Viper4Android FX is the best so far, IMO. Nice amount of tweakable options, able to drive the phone hard and clean without distortion...better than MusicFX and much better than any beats audio/ BMAudio implementation ive seen on the i9505 so far. The author seems to have a lot of plans for it as well

The problem with gsmarena is they arent consistent with their testing and as such they aren't particularly trustworth when ti comes to RMAA testing.
-------
Wolfson are well respected, more so for their dacs used in av amps than phones but that's only because people take less notice of what DAC a phone has, generally. That sort of stuff is reserved for us geeks I've no doubt wolfson are top of the pile here. Whether that translates in to audiable differences is a different question altogether though; I think DACs play a far lesser role in overall picture for sound quality in phones than perhaps some people like to admit. Yes we can bench the hardware with RMAA and see the numbers are better, but that doesnt always translate in to better audio quality and i really do think people concentrate on the DACs too much. I believe the rest of the hardware is far more important - the amp, for one thing. That's a different discussion however.

Wolfson best but the i9505 chip set ain't that far behind. Let stick to topic eh? In reality you would have to be running some sweet cans and have damn good ears to tell the difference between both versions of the s4 chip sets. Disagree? Blind test i9500 and 9505 yourself and see if you can tell the difference.... I have and my ears ain't good enough to differentiate between the two.

Pretty sure that the I9505 with some future decent mods it could maybe even get better sound than with siyah (scoobydoo) sound on the sIII. This chip imo has much potential. I did a tryout with poweramp yesterday I was amazed and blown away to be honest

I'm using viper mod and bmsound atm. There is a post in the at&t themes and app forum for where someone detailed what they did. It sounds pretty good surprisingly. The OP claims that those two work well with bmsound amplifying lows and viper doing a very good job at mids and highs. I'd post the link but at work right now.

This thread has obviously run its course...
