[Q] Removing Beats Audio - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I started flashing I only stuck with Sense ROMs and audio playback was so so for me. When I tried out CM7 with DSP manager I was shocked at the difference in sound. DSP Gave a whole new life to my ear buds as well as my BT Sony S9-HD's. But thats about the only thing that I really enjoyed about CM7. I would rather have a Sense ROM but my phone is my only mp3 device and I can't stand the way music sounds on Sense ROMs after hearing music while using CM7
I've looked around and messed with a few of my sense roms with Beats removing the lib files associated with beats and the stock libs and replaced them with the libs associated with DSP Manger as well as the apk but the sound just isn't the same as when using CM7.
So what I'm wondering, is there a way to remove, before flashing or after, all sound files related to audio playback and replace them with the necessary files from CM7 to make music sound as if I were on a CM7 ROM?

try the Equalizer app on the market, I personally use PlayerPro with the DSPpack

is beats audio only included in that ROM or can someone get it separately?
seeing how your question is how to remove it i take it that you wouldn't recommend it would you..lol
i too am currently using equalizer, it's great except for the annoying icon on the tray in the top left corner
i believe it works just as good if not better then beats as it is compatible with all songs.
i hear beats only works with stock music on some devices

did a quick search...

From what I've read it showed how to intsall beats. I'm assuming I can do the opposite by removing the pieces to beats before flashing and replace them with the ones for DSP from cm7?

That should work.
Download the CM7 ROM and Download whatever Sense ROM you plan on flashing (I personally recommend Bindroid and all it's Glory )
Put both Roms on your computer if they aren't already and extract the zip files.
Navigate to
"System/App" Find the Beats APK and remove it from the Sense Rom.
Navigate to the System/App directory of CM7 and Pull the DSP Apk and move it to the Sense Rom you are using.
Rezip the ROM you plan on installing and sign it.
Install.
Note that I don't know 100% that this will work; I don't know how beats is installed, and I don't know how DSP is installed it could be more complicated then that and you could also end of soft bricking your phone if it is from a system incompatibility. If I'm wrong then I apologize in advance, but there's still that chance that it could work.

Will I need to change the lib files from the /system/lib/soundfx folder as well?

My assumption would be yes. Because MIUI and Sense are so different I don't know that it will even work. You will probably have to pull everything related to Beats. I'm still just starting, but you'll probably have to edit your install to direct the extra install components and tell it to fix the permissions. (I haven't dabbled much there but I'd assume that should be fairly easy yet slightly time consuming)

lol Know the feeling; I'll pull the CM7 ROM and the Bindroid Rom and work with them to see if I can't get what you wanted to be done completed and I'll let you know ASAP; I might give it a try before the end of the day; if not you might have to wait about a week (Sorry, trying to fix my ROM as well atm lol)

Hey, np! Thanks for the help too! This is the kinda thing that makes xda what it is.

I hope I'm not the only one that thinks PlayerPro is as good as Beats... I haven't saw any advantage to having Beats Audio..

He doesn't want beats. That's why were looking to remove it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

looked at taking out beats from a sense rom and putting DSP in and I think its beyond my scope of knowledge.
The files in the flashable zip don't match up with whats in an rom zip so I don't know what I should and shouldn't take out....

Did someone found a way to remove it since when I flashed with JaggyRom which have BeatsAudio sound is extremely worst.

DSP Manager

So, in the end I like Virtuous, but one thing I *really* miss about cm6 is DSP manager. My Bluetooth is dull sounding, my earbuds are bright, and it was nice to be able to balance out the sound separately.
I tried yoinking the apk out of the cm6 update zip, but I guess it's missing something from another part of the ROM.
Anyway, this is a bit out of my territory. I feel like the answer to this would also give me a bit more insight on how it all fits together.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've already tried with Suicide Sense (3.5) and when I hit flash it said something bout missing "framework.jar" or something like that and failed

Darkside Sense and Genius button?

I'm tearing my hair out here... Maybe someone can fill in the blanks for me.
I recently switched to this rom as suggested by a user of this forum. Fantastic Rom, and I regret stating on stock for long.
However, the lack of a genius button is almost a deal breaker for me as I use it to text while driving - I just hit the button and connect it to my stereo.
In my attempts to add the functionality back in (which according to another thread here is possible), I'm having no luck, but plenty of fc's.
To be honest, I know enough to root a phone and flash a Rom, but this one is a little rough for me, so I admit I took the lazy approach...
First I found a zip file for the app, but it just fc'd even after fixing permissions and rebooting.
Second I tried adb to push the files to their app appropriate locations, but I can't figure the damn program out.
I finally settled on using es explorer to move the files from my sd. I fixed permissions with rom manager and rebooted, and it still fc's.
Any ideas? Bad download? Am I missing a related app that is tightly integrated with this one?
I suppose I could try restoring the stock rom, backup the genius app, flash darkside and then restore the genius backup, but that's a pain...

Hmm, I never tried putting the genius app sense 3.5. You used the Genius app for GB, right? There is one for Froyo and one for GB. I know that the apk HAS to be a system app or its FC city.

I believe it is the GB app, but since the first link I tried was dead, It's possible I pulled the wrong one while searching for the file elsewhere. I'll check that.
The two apk files are in system/app, and the two so files are in system/lib as per instructions given in a thread.

Just a thought...
I'm no expert at this, but if I have a copy of stock TMO GB on my computer, is it possible to just unzip the folder and pull the 4 required files from it?

Here is a couple of zips I have on my computer at home that may be what you are looking for. I think 1 of them is for froyo and the other for GB, but im not sure.

Mapped the button and it works like a charm!
Now I have a great rom and have all the apps I need for my daily use.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this. Much appreciated.
Awesome. You were probably using the Froyo app.

[MOD] HTC Amaze camera V8 for Sense 2.1 (synergy vision only) to 3.5

Warning it appears this does not work on sense 2.1 (other than the synergy vision sense 2.1 rom since I tested that personally), so flash on sense 2.1 at your own risk.
I have this running flawlessly on my synergy vision sense 2.1 rom.
All I modified was the media profiles.xml file to match those of the v8 to have full quality no compression photos using a diff type tool to spot the differences quickly. This however causes pictures to be almost twice the size (in my case I took two identical photos and one was 700k while the second was 1.2mb).
I cant tell much difference but I am sure less compression must mean better photos.
BTW be gentle, this is my first post and though I am an experienced programmer I am not a veteran in android.
Those who use it, post your findings as I am very interested if anyone notices any differences.
By the way thanks to adakaya1994 for the orignial v7 posted.
Also thanks to asim0 for asking for this update, I wasn't aware such an update existed.
ps. use at your own risk and please back up your device before flashing this zip.
YeH now camera force closes after flashing this. Great....
Thinly file you posted is bad. It's not the size listed.

Sorry I reuploaded the file, not sure why it was corrupt in the first place, I've tested it and its ok. Make sure you can open the zip when you download the file.
This is definitely NOT working on sense 2.1 camera and camcorder again force close. Restoring back up again. Someone else's turn.

which rom are you using?
now I feel pretty crappy about screwing up someone's phone causing a restore. I installed sense 3.5 from android revoulution hd 7.0.2 and installed this patch and the camera again works great. Is it just my just chance or is it the rom you are using?

I think he flashed it on a Sense 2.1 ROM because i've previously tried flashing the HTC Amaze cam on Sense 2.1 and it caused what he described above.

I think, all that does is that it changes the sound quality rather than increasing it. If you want to listen to music, just get powerAMP then go to equalizers and raise the equalizer which says "preamp". What it does is that it increases the output so you get a louder sound...
let me get the poweramp ......i'll try and see to it now...
and by the way.....srs apk didnt work...

What Kernel are you using?
It might be an idea to try changing to a different one like LordModUE, TalonACE, Tiamat or PachaKernel SuiTE.
i am using kernel version
2.6.35.14-lordModUE

Sorry man, I honestly dnt kno. For me when I was on Miui.us the volume was fine after I activated Dolby Mobile, n dnt think it would av gone much louder as the back vibrated loads at full volume n was pretty loud.
Now I have left Miui and am using xxxpachaxxx xloud mod, and that works even better, but that is inconjunction with his Rom.
So maybe a combination of the xxxpachaxxx kernel and xloud mod will do the trick!?
Other than that I'm out of ideas sorry

No problem man, just sorry could't help more.
The link to the Kernel is found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518896
I think that you should be alright to use one of the versions of the kernel with your rom, but I suggest asking in that thread just to make sure before flashing it.
Hope it works!!
That's how MIUI roms are lol and normally everyone gets low volume out of their DHD speakers.
