[Q] Nexus SRS effect (like on Desire HD) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I have checked the problem with several apps and mods and still I cannot get any close to music effect achieved on my old Desire HD. Bass was so deep and clear, nothing to compare with Nexus 4.
So no XLouder mod would get close to SRS, no Beats-like mod or whatsoever.
Is there a way to get a Desire HD-like SRS effect? As far as I know, SRS on Desire HD was software not hardware based. I have read that on Xperia phones it is achivable.

It was a mix. You can not expect to get the same thing from 2 different OEMs that use different parts and different software.

u can try one of the custom roms(leedroid or revolution) which are including 20% volume up in their kernels.
Definitely you need to use some of custom roms.. Leedroid 2.2.2 or Revolution HD.. They have sound boost patch.
This Is sick. I have to root my phone and install a Custom Rom just to make my speaker sound better. Why can't htc do this

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...
people who use custom rom with loud speaker
copy&upload default.acdb
from
/system/etc/firmware
i think this file for loud speaker
For me, speaker is ok.
It's really designed to be used with headphones for the multimedia audio.

I agree
Though alarms are quieter than on my moto milestone one day it didn't wake me up
Today was a success, volume was good. I need the rooster alarm file from the milestone LOL the htc ones are "quietly brilliant"
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.

[Q] Speaker hardware modding possible?

I love my HD2, but there's no getting away from how bad the speaker on the back sounds.
It's extremely tinny and there is no bass especially when compared to my cheapo ZTE BLADE.
Has anyone tried to mod in a new speaker? say maybe one meant for a desire HD?
i hav also HD2 but speaker voice very nice ..

Street fighter IV {Sound Issue}

So I have SF-IV (LG Nitro HD exclusive release - modded for DHD resolution) installed on my DHD, game plays really well except for the audio output. When executing special moves and big combos the audio lags and crackles (which also causes the game to lag slightly). Tried everything known to man but can't fix this.. any help guys? Turning off audio from the game itself makes the game run 100% smooth, but its weird with no sound.
If anyone out there has audio working like a charm on their DHD - please let me know.

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.

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

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.
Boo

beatz audio reality?

hey dev guys, this is for u.
while roaming around the xda, i found this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24205983.
so it says even if we have a fully working beats files, the audio o/p we are getting from it, while beats is on the run, is just half.
and for the total o/p, we should have to use the driver too.
so my doubt is this, do any of our kernal( sense,cm7/9,miui or ics) have implemented such a driver from a beats device? or can some work on it?(audio driver only)
i used beats and have jbl in-ears. so it gives good highs but not such good low( when compared with my se c905 cybershot phone with a changed audio driver and a patched megabass eq settings). but i heared that beats audio is one of such a f###ing thing in terms of bass!! so i like to get it in hd2 too.. thats why i posted this.
for those who post reply, pls dnt tell ways to boost bass with any apk like dsp/ eq manager or so. this is about audio driver from beats kernel, and is only about it. so give reply so.
i am attaching the zip file for checking( flashable/ copyable beats files that can give u half the beats experience) http://i.minus.com/1333149794/cmDv4RaG5F9p8yHVz6MQQg/irBiV9DKDRmiD.zip

I would like to hear some answers on this subject also.
Though this does remind me of this news post. Were these files removed because it enabled beats on non-HTC devices?
its still available some where in the forum. but the thread may be removed due to multiposts or wrong zip. i got the file from xda. dnt remb the thread.
well i have read more about beats and it says that the files+ driver will give ultimate results and not the driver or files along.
waiting for some dev to reply...

From my research on beats audio (done approx. 6 months ago for my HP laptop) beats audio is simply a rendering agent. It is what takes the sound files and in terms decodes it. For example, if we took a phone which came with beats audio on it, and played some sound file through it, took some measurments of decibel levels and then removed beats audio the quality will be reduced.
From my readings and research, there is no Beats Audio "specific" hardware. But, the phones and devices which have beats audio, do have better speakers on them so one can hear the better quality.
I personally tested beats audio on my phone running Dorimanx ROM with my Samsung headphones, and using the same headphones music file and everything, but taking beats audio off, DID result in poor sound quality.. For a good example, the sound quality was almost "muffled" and not as "3D" or "stereo" sharp.
So all in all, what ive learned, having the correct files for rendering the audio, WILL increase the sound quality. And is a 100% beats emulation. As per a "certain" driver, i dont think there is such a thing, all beats audio needs is the rendering files.

Well i use Volume + (Sound Boost) found here in the android market and there is a selection of "Beats audio emulation" however i installed a beats audio . zip file via cwm and tested, then flashed stock rom and tested. When i tested, i did not have Volume+ installed as i wanted a stock result.

i got it all, and i know it. but the thing is is our non beats device is fully capable for giving pure beats experience? i dnt think so, coz when u have a driver that donot support it fully, it wont gonna change that much. so its the driver that do a part.

Hi guys I ve tested volume+ with beats emulation enabled (don t know if it s the same as flashing the zip file).I can confirm the audio with my beats studio headphones it s different,not too much but it s different...I can notice a little bass boost and other little changes,I like the audio more than without beats enabled.I would like to try the zip file,but do I have to enable something then or it s automatically enabled?cause if it s automatically enabled,it would be a little difficult to compare the audio with or without beats
i personally think that it makes difference, and feels different too. i downloaded this from the beats thread, i guess these might help.

So you need only to flash and is everytime enabled? or you can enable or disable the mod?
This is the beats audio android general forum link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
I m trying to flash right now,after a backup ;-)
I ll let you know if I can enjoy some difference in sound.Today I ve modded the black monster cable with mic and answer button that came with beats studio headphones.Now I have the official htc remote instead opf only the answer button...i will post pictures
I can confirm there was at least a little improvement in audio quality flashing the zip file...I had almost the same result with volume+ emulation but it gave me some systems crash.I m in dorimanx last rom and kernel,I removed dsp manager and volume+ before to flash.This is the picture of my beats studios with modded monster s cable,I m waiting for the new white soft silicone cover

K. I am sure that all or most of u have take a look on beats. And i have done it already. Also have a google music with beats icon ( actualy its a change in icon only- the speaker icon is changed with beats icon so if we play music, beats icon is displayed insted of speaker icon, got it from wildfire forum on xda, thanks and credits to the dev). Along with it and beats files, its total(???) Beats experience. But the htc music player is supposed to give more effect along with beats audio driver( "libaudio.so"- its what i am taking about, from the begining). Htc default music player with beats support wont work on asop roms. Its for sense roms. But even sense roms for hd2 use kernals from dorimanx,fikert, tytung etc.. and dont know from where the "libaudio.so" is obtained( i mean i dont know if its a port from a beats driver. And i barely think its not coz, hd2 android existed long before beats was born for android!!). Also if we change the driver, the kernal and rom( and ofcourse the hardware too) should support it. So i think its a serious "dev-business ". And for those who are satisfied with current o/p its a "flash and use business " only( sorry if i mean some thing wrong. But i never mean an offence).

Sry. But i am not that serious dev. Its always worth to learn from masters. And besides not all have all skils..i have some. I want to learn. I have doubts. Some of them may be stupid, some may be worth for ideas. But still they are doubts. As my policy is this- asking "why" helps me to learn, and asking "can" help others to think via me. Thats it.

Quality never means loudness. If so you should buy cheep china phones with 8 speakers. And about 5-6w rms o/p..

You re right,but I noticed at least a 10% higher volume in headphones and loudspeacker.Also audio quality seems a little better if listened with a good headphones set,with my beats studio now bass are more intense,and the whole song it s a little better.
But i dnt know if beats can do some thing with phone speakers. But sure it will do with headset. U can experience reduced noise, loudness compression, better high and low, and good virtualization. (Only if u use good headset)
If u want an increased sound on phone speakers use xloud mod from sony roms.
But my point is if u feel better now, it will be best if u have beats driver too. I am currenlty studying driver source now. To find out what it is. And may be( chances are very rare as i am not a dev) i could figure it out. And if i can, i need some devs to compile it, and make a working one.
