Beats Audio For Any GB ROM!

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/beats-audio-now-available-on-any-gingerbread-rom/
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

Your next version should really have the build.prop lines automatically reflect the changes. Having said that, your install process is also really complicated. Although I got it to work eventually, I can imagine many people messing their phones up. Also, an uninstaller would be nice too. I may sound like ass saying this, but your app gave me many headaches leading to multiple wipes of my phone.

Rename of title to How To would be better than MOD as its not a mod but a how to guide .

I apologize Matt. I am very sorry for that lol.
Here's my install.
Installed Universal Twice and then went for the Noozxoide install and removed Noozy afterwards. I can attest that all these mods on JB aren't as as they were on ICS. It's perplexing. No matter what I do, it's not the same bass+EQ. Some of the options now on JB actually cancel each other out. Frustrating to say the least.

[SOUND MOD] HTC BoomSound - Test Release

Heres another audio mod for the nexus 5. tested on c-rom 7.1, seems to be a bit louder and bassier but would like feedback from others willing to try it, preferably on roms without other sound mods. I found it works well with viper
ps im using some cheap Philips earphones & noticed a small improvement but it could be a placebo effect

How to restore?

oops sorry, no restore function at the moment
a nandroid or backup is recommended. alternatively if u have rootexplorer or the like, backup or rename the system/libs/soundfx folder and system/etc/audio_effects.conf prior to install

updated with v2. would like some feedback to see if its working for others or whether its just placebo

@ dead0, OK I will give it a shot. Didn't notice anything changing with first build.
A few things to consider. I am always looking for good sound filters. I currently rate viperaudio fx newest with altering the audio.XML file in etc folder the best. (Volumeboost.zip in screenshot is by Audigod of SOKP Rom), Followed by Noozy player with Dolby Mobile and Noozoxide Pro and Beats Audio mod.
The filters are a mod and boosting sound volume values inside system seem to be the best way to go.
What does this mod of yours consist of?
Just filters or a updater script also to actually boost audio? Thanks!

its more of a filter with a slight boost. works best with faux sound mod in kernel and viperfx. unless my hearing is off, did notice a small boost with deeper bass

Works on Stock 4.4.4?

looking forward to more updates

Audio Effects??

I have made changes to Settings > Sound > Audio Effects for both wired and speaker and have yet to notice any difference regardless of the changes I make. Even when I make extreme changes just to see an effect I get nothing. Has anyone been able to get a noticeable change my modifying these settings?
Thanks.

It's a Motorola issue. I had a Moto X Gen 2 and the EQ settings didn't work.

I've experimented with various EQ apps and the one I really like is called Equilizer FX. It doesn't switch/reset the last profile used and I like the profile settings and effects.

Thanks! I'll give it a go... Update: Works perfectly! And it integrates with Settings > Sound, unlike the others I have tried. I'll test it in the car on my way home and, if I continue to like it, I'll pay the $.99 to support the dev.

I use Rocket Player. It doesn't equalize all audio but it works very, very well for me when I listen to music. If you pay for the premium version you get a 12 band equalizer which is nice

I use Equalizer by Smart Android LLC. I dig the interface and like that it can auto select a preset based on the song you're listening to. If you get the paid version it can even auto select from streaming services.

Viper was the best. Wondering if any ex-Viper users have found any non root apps that they would approve of. Hopefully there's something out there that comes close to Viper.

I tried equaliser fx, liked that it replaced the stock audio effects in settings, it works ok, going to try a few more, really really miss viper!

I never really understood equalizer settings. Not sure what all the Hz's and dB's mean. Does anyone have a custom preset that would be similar to Viper's Treble Booster profile?

I get the differences loud and clear when I move it around.

It's simple. Db is decibels which associates to volume or amount you put to the frequency. Hz from lowest number is bass but once you get to the 100hz it's more mid range bass then khz is thousands of hz so like 10khz is 10,000 hz so that's treble for example

You and me both!!! Viper is/was AWESOME!

Please check in if you find any others that are good. Equalizer FX seems pretty good, but some of the settings don't seem to stick for me. I paid the $.99 to support the dev after I tried the free version, but I think the free version actually may work better than the paid version.

[DISCUSSION] Here is my One M8 set-up, share yours too, and some new info.

Ok I guess I'll begin by sharing the new info, which doesn't seem to be out there.
The newest Stable release of Sense 6 toolbox works with my Sense 7 (ARHD 41.0) set up. It had no glitches, and a couple selections were blocked out, so I'm guessing they were bugged ones which the dev didn't want to make available to a stable release.
What I find interesting is that it says that Sense 7 is still not supported, but to me it worked perfectly. If you guys could tell me whether it works for you too (mainly sense 7 mods), and if any of you found bugs please share what caused the bug so that other users can avoid the same bug.
Now for my set up:
Recovery: TWRP
ROM: ARHD 41.0
Sense version: Sense 7
Xposed Framework (yes/no): yes
If yes, Modules:
> ActivityForceNewTask
> APM+
> ChromePie
> Fix Lollipop Memory Leak (not sure if it actually works)
> Greenify
> Secure Settings (used with Tasker)
> Sense 6 Toolbox
Additional theming/modding apps worth mentioning:
Root Booster
(it offers an option of speed, stability or battery saving, it works by changing the CPU governor and memory heap size to achieve desired result)
Recently
(developed by Chainfire, if you don't know, he's the guy behind SuperSu, say no more. Worth checking out, since it improves the new recent apps section introduced with Lollipop)
Viper4Android FX
(if you like good sound, this is the app you need. Boomsound is already good as it is, this makes it even better)
OK guys, it's now your turn share your set up, and give your recommendations

Just letting you know VolumeSteps+ does not work on most HTC ROMs/Devices, if you actually listen closely and pay attention you will notice that you add volume steps but listen closely and you will notice the volume won't change at all on some of those steps, the developer even said this disclaimer, and its known on HTC, the Audio System is different then AOSP or anything like that, so its pointless to have it, it adds the visual steps but in reality it doesn't work, in media for example you still have 15 steps but if you make it 30, then you still have 15 and require a bunch of pointless button presses to get to volume step 15.

Ooh thank you guys getting better replies than I expected.
@Viper4713, does Sense 7 feel stable to you? Because as far as I'm aware it's a port taken from the M9 but stuck on top of an M8 Base. Do you believe there will be any changes when HTC releases the official M8 version?
Also since you mentioned headphones, I got me a cheap £15 Panasonic HJE190.
I'm a huge audiophile, and a power listener, 70% of my day I have my headphones in my ears. In fact I got them in now haha.
The problem I have with most headphones is that most are cheaply built (even expensive ones), and don't last more than 2 months with me. So I chose to always buy cheap ones, eventually, I found a pair of HJC120 on the ground, battered up, as if someone threw them away. So I took them in, and used them since my previous pair had broken that morning lol.
The little sucked lasted me for 8 months, more than any other headphones I have ever used EVER. + the sound was good
So when they broke I was looking for the same one, and I stumbled across the HJE190. It has better sound, and if you like bass it's perfect, it's got clear highs and deep lows. Etc...
Not gonna go much into detail. What I mean is, they have the best sound of any earbuds below £50, while costing less than £20, and they are sturdy, so they last a long time. worth having a look.
@Trucifix, I'm glad I could share with you something new. Nice set up btw.
Also, after you try it and if you like it, thank the OP.
Now, about the App itself, Root Booster, since I don't play intensive games on my phone (I use my Nexus 9 for that), I don't really need the speed part, but ideally it's for gaming. For me I like the battery saving toggle, it gives me at least 1 hour worth of juice with average use.
But depeding on your need it can help.
Personally I like it, because I have no idea of which governors to use, how much to overclock or underclock, so I prefer to just let another app do it for me

Sense 7 ROMs for M8, yes pure stable, but I will be honest with you ARHD is the most unstable right now strangely, mike abandoned the M8 for now in favor of the M9, he may be back some time soon.
The 5.0.2 Sense 7 Ports are closer to a true Sense 7, they contain almost all the files from Sense 7 base, only thing Sense 6 about it left is drivers and such to make everything work 100% like audio and radio(4G), now the 5.0.1 ROMs are less closer to true Sense 7, they have many Sense 6 libs and such left behind and its mainly only focused on the apks, like Settings app and Sense Home for example, this is why the 5.0.1 (base without mods) ports don't have the flashlight toggle in QS because the SystemUI.apk still have Sense 6 elements while the 5.0.2 ROMs have full sense 7 SystemUI.apk.
When Sense 7 releases there wouldn't be any visual changes compared to the 5.0.2 ports at all, however it is believed that when its finally out it will come with Android 5.1, so HTC might make some changes but I am unsure, however there will be a couple Android changes at that point like swiping up on a heads up notification to hide it(without fully dismissing), but the current 5.0.2 ports will feel exactly like the M9 does, so nothing is missing about it, and of course its still the M8, so HK works and all that, so it feel like M8 for sure rather then an M9 port where something could potentially be missing.
As for earphones, I am an audiophile but I spend a bit more money then that, you wouldn't believe what you could be missing until you get some real high end headphones, now I understand that more expensive doesn't always mean better but in some cases it does, I mean some headphones are not $299 for NO reason, I my self wouldn't go under $79 but that's just me, my build quality on my $212 earphones is great, you know what you should try out? go get some Klipsch S4's or S5's, they are cheap for what your paying for, I assure you they will sound better then the ones you have now, you always have a return policy so try it out for fun if you want, put it on a credit card so no real money is being spent yet
For Audio its not just about lows and high, mids, sound stage, clarity and many others are also very important, so currently you may enjoy your set up, then you try something real high end and then realize that your current setup may have muddy lows and artificial highs, also separation is important as well, for example, you could have a huge bass note booming in your ear but yet at the same time it won't overlap any other frequency AT ALL so when a bass note happens the singers voice will not appear to get quieter or distorted, it will sound like the bass note is coming from a separate sub woofer in the room while the mids and highs are playing from a dedicated speaker but in reality you just have earphones/buds on! You can say you have this now but yet again its one of those things you have to experience to realize your current setup either doesn't have it or doesn't have it enough.
Please understand my respect to you here, I am not bashing you but just saying there is an other level you can achieve here you have never heard, its kind of like 2D to 3D and other dimensions you may not know exists
I have expensive Polk Audio Speakers in my car, I also have $249 computer speakers and yet my earphones still are much better then both of them, its to a point I have had these earphones for 2-3 years and I am still shocked by them, its also mind boggling to me how these earphones/buds can sound better then a studio or a real speaker for that matter.

@Viper4713, well that would definitely explain why Sense 6 toolbox works perfectly on my M8. So for that reason I think I'll stick around ARHD for a while longer Hehe.
And about the headphones, yeah I'm completely aware, I had some great sounding ones when I was younger. Never went for anything under 30 quid, and once bought a £90 over ears. Beautiful sound.
And yet, 2 months later, like clockwork, it breaks. Haha I'm sure some expensive headphones have amazing sound. But i cant afford to be shelling 50 quid everytime I break some headphones But I'm just pointing out that I was so surprised at the sound I got from my Panasonic's, it's incredible. Obvi it's not the best, and a bit bass heavy, yet it provides nearly a distortionless sound.
For that kind of price tag I'm just surprised it's not well known. But search it, look at the reviews for yourself HJE190 and the HJC120.
Enjoy.

Just letting you know Sense 6 Toolbox works the same on 5.0.2 ports, it just doesn't work on S.ROM and the M9

Wait, you sure? Coz that wasn't specified on the module updates, nor the module itself, it just said Sense 7. Which is why I'm getting confused.
